lol
hi mymuse
thanks, min!!!
hi andy
once upon a time there was this poor, harried, overworked cfo...
maybe I switch mi nick to myuseisme-echo
excellent icon nut!
my sorry typing two chats
lol
everyday she was awoke by her alarm clock only to realize that she had to go to work, (the poor dear) - - -thanks helen
I am so sorry! Guess I should've tried typing it first!
hmmmm...this is sounding familiar....
no worries - hey it was a good clue ;-)
she move about her house, dodging furry creatures in the dark as she tried to get ready for work...
and scuttled out the door, purse barely keeping up with her and piping hot pop tart in hand.
and cheetos?
hopping in her car, she turned the engine over and backed out her driveway - but the minute she entered the road - the world tilted on its axis.
Bump, grind, splutter, grr, whiz, grr, Ding!
ty lickety!
Hooray for Lickety
lol lickety!..bing bang bong
sounds like roger zelazny's nine princes of amber
suddenly she and the car were falling, falling, falling - into a world that could only be describe as cheetoland
1 A tost! (click icon)
*toast
looking to her left she saw was suspicously looked like chester the cheeto approaching her car.
yep - corwin should show up any minute now
does he get in the car?
lol - haven't thought about that series in years, but that ' world tilted on it's axis part' clicked something in my brain :)
err - i'm getting stuck
he, uh, taps his claw on the window for ren, i mean the cfo to open the window
ket me get my diet coke...i think i say it diat cuke
yeah - let's see, the landscapes change shape & the sky changes color & the road becomes . . .
cheetos?
crushed cheetos
ren you've been drinking too much of my pop
the trees had dangling cheetos swaying in the cheesy breeze
right jill!
and off on the horizon was a glistening lake of ....
cheetos?
mushy cheetos
it looked refreshing, so thelma & louise, no, i mean the cfo
dove into it?
a lake of rennet?
hello fellow babblers! missed the flip
wheeeeeeeeeeee
a lake of mushy cheetos
hiya debb!
hi debb -- we're getting another story -- a cheesy one thistime
hey ya deb
hi debb!
a stid story?
certainly not of the same high quality - stid sets the bar high
aaah ! she sure does but we love stories anyway
too heck with the story, i went to the pantry and got the cheetohs and pepsi.... no fantasizing for me.
anyway ren, i mean the cfo, put the peddle to the metal and swung it up alongside the cheeto lake
not stid - nut
i haven't read much of stid's stuff - but i think this one was definitely tastier!
ewwwwwww...pepsi
i appreciate it nut...i mean that cfo appreciates it nut
lol - reading the backlog!
lol helen!
me too BJ; only I got a diet Dr. Pepper
drinking deeply from the lake, ren, er cfo decided that she didn't like mushy cheetos, so she headed for the tree instead to pick some fresh ones
sorry, dahlings, the champers isn't quite chilled
but was stopped by an irate chester cheetah!
i like pepsi!
he was mad at her because she ran over some of his cheeto flowers
does she love chester?
yes, mez, i mean chester forgives her when he looks upon her shining cfo face
running over flowers is sure to change the very substance of reality as we know it
did he ever cheet on her?
and they drink a diet coke?
they embrace and live happily ever after skipping hand in hand through the fields of cheetos
lol jill!
--- the end ---
the end.....or is it?
*** sniff sniff***** so beautiful
oh, definitely the end - this is america, the land of happy cheeto endings
applause! applause!
nef - i'm seeing dr pepper on the grid
lol debb
100 - going for an icon
*bows* - - - thankyou, thankyou, and remember to vote nut
6 and going for the cheetos
she has 100 already???
vote nut vote nut vote nut

Don't blame me Ren! :)

Im fed up with seeing the red line more than the green one :(
I have 106 to go, but fading fast...
the name amuses me - but i guess when you grow up with these things it's a different story - i'm trying to think of an example from my childhood, but i can't think that clearly anymore
lol fmitch
i've managed a whopping 11 words since i came back with my icon - still 72 to go - hate to leave that many for tomorrow

bloody hell
tx fmitch!
must me a dinasoaur kinda word
thanks for the pt clue
pt 9/66
did you get the word blaze?
Yes I did
what is a clue fo it
Holy smoke, blaze!
i just tried typing pt words that sound like they could be words. one of em worked.
Gasps at Blaze (morning)
does it have the latin for earth in it???
ends in another word for eating
I've been doing that too - no luck so far -- monkey on strike
tell me the 'pt' word
starts with the flying dinosaur
thanks!
does anyone have the te 8? I can't drag it out of the grid to save myself
it's my last 8...
Thanks for that Blaze. Monkeyed the pt9!!
good clue roc - tx!
te9 u mean?
guess I'll keep trying - did start with the dino saur but am too sleepy to eat I guess :(
okay, the te9, yes, that would be my last 9 so would make me equally happy :)
thx blaze and roc..put your ckues together..and got it
any other clues for pt
jilli, there are no double letters in the pt word, at least not in a row -- this tripped me up at first
te9 sounds like what you use to remove paint but then it ends like a bodybuilder's drug of choice.
p + Desperate Housewives actress Hatcher + eat
thanks roc!!!
thx roc...would never have got that
another winner from roc!
nrk, I didn't expect the double letter - I'm really in a fog -- too sleepy -- maybe it will come...
ok, that's it for me - 50 for tomorrow & yet ANOTHER bridal shower!! oooooh, a frying pan, ahhhh, a gift card!!!!

Oh well - to paraphrase Magnus Magnusson, I've started so I'll have to try and finish!
i'm having a rough time on the short words too.. it took me forever to get through the three O words..
Ah there is the lovely Spangle back in your icon Haz
Yes, I thought she deserved more public viewing!
haven't got as far as o's roc!
Grid started so well 1st 3 words I got were the q's and one of them is a 7, I was all gung ho after that...
still looking for the u word too

hi
ponco - I don't have the list yet so don't know exactly which is the first di4/5. If you can't find it, move onto another word.
ponco. the second half of the io clue is what you're looking for. Try a bit harder to follow
ok
ad 7,36 plzzzzzz
what do the 8,s start with.
Hi Alex, how many words have you found?
ive jus got on nd only 2
ad 7,36 i need clue
an 8/40, pe8/50, re8/45, in8/40
There are 183 words today. You can't expect people to clue you through the whole thing.
Well why don't you concentrate on find the smaller words forst and then you can build on them for the bigger ones rather than asking for clues right off?
oggy, I only have one 8 and it's an8/40

That'll give us all a chance to catch up. (as if!)
Alex we are from all over the world so many different time zones
We'll miss you Sprite.
No internet, so no babble, alas. I'll be back on Friday. Then Friday next I leave for Germany, for 8 days. So on and off for babble. Good way to prove I am not an addict, LOL.
and my best friend is sofia111
Awww Sue, that is so sweet! Thank you :)
Haz: :P !
You always kiss the site on both cheeks, Sprite, and give us a hug.
Tha't's because you are such a wonderful community here, Sue. Babble is special.
Its is - I'm glad I found it.
well, i'm off to do some chores, i'll bbl- good luck with the grid- sprite, have a safe trip
Thanks beebee, have a nice day!
suemagee i think ur ugly
You know, Miki, so do I.
so u think ur ugly
Trolltime again?
hey miki
Yup.
Small Australian variety
hey sofia
Fraid so sprite, there have been a couple this morning
how r u?
Harmless, but a pest nontheless.
me and sofia r best friends
pt 9/66 omg ne clues?
Time to talk flags?
yep sure r!
we go to school 2gether
Perhaps world peace too, Sprite.
so sofia wat ya doing
in da sam class
yea
Good idea. I think if people would understand each other's flags better, they would understand each others countries better too. How is that for opening a topic?
we r
I think so. Flags being waved to a background of classical music with a politician declaring world peace before an audience of ecstatic babblers.
i am havin dinner see ya in a moment or soo
BRB
miki u da BOMB
I think that would move us forward considerably.
kk
*puts on some classical music*
LOL
BRB>BRB
What would your selection of music be, sprite?
brb
I am in the mood for Chopin. Fantasie impromptu, I think.
i'm back
bac
well everyone miki's is my bff and i think she rocks!!!!!!
I love the twists and turns of Capriccio Italienne - or the sadness of the Bruch violin concerto
hey miki LOL
Although the start of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in blue' always makes me smile.
Personally I would go for some Albinoni right now with a decent volume
Those are some of my favorites too :) I used to play the piano, still miss it sometimes.
Adults r MORONS and LOSERS
lol
lol lo
lo
l
yep they sure r
A voicedrowning volume, FMitch?
but not our mums or dads
Pretty much sprite :)
lol
no definitly not
miki
LOL
If we want to drown out voices, the grand chorus from Aida would do.
Or how about some poetry? "If you can keep your head when all about you..."
LOL
watz up with adults abd WHERE is ponco???
Sofia would you like to be reported instead of ponco? or how about all 3 of you?
'Then you'll be a man, my son'
POETRY IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GAY
That's definitely the short version, Haz, LOL!
I've just mailed Jamie.
true true miki
I"M SORRY FMitch
Some undersized people just cannot take a hint.
Yes, sprite - it missed out all the agony and got to the ecstacy!
adutls r cool!
wat r u talking about FMitch
Actually, I think it was an improvement on the original, Haz :)
sofia
MIKI (BE NICE BE NICE)
No your not and I'm afraid it's too late Sofia
i'll just stop talkin kay
sofia wat r u talking about
and wat do u mean to late
im confused
*Cry*Cry
fine i wont talk 2 u at all
wateva
soz miki
You would think that after trying 'dino' invain in about 30 grids I would start to remember enable doesn't like dinos.
I regularly do "nore", Sprite.
My favourite poem is St Agnes Eve by Keats paints such a wonderful picture, my mother used to read it to me when I was a child as a bed time story
i will 4give u if u tell me wat u were talking about
ad7clue please
well if u be nice to adults they will be nice too
FMitch: I just looked it up. Beautiful! It paints images in my mind when reading it.
u were the one who said u hate them
well yea just think bout it we will become adults
yea well dont go telling me off (mum)
sorry
go and put away clothes and all kind things happen, we have classical music and poetry, babblers are very well rounded
Glad you like it too sprite
I think it is special, your mother reading it to you when you were a child. Must have given you real appreciation for language!
beebee, so true!
alex- it sounds like something that they remove from your nose area(i think)
kk
kk
we shall forget that moment
how many words u got miki
i miss david
k, thanks beebee i'll try to work it out
We are an eclectic bunch of babblers beebee
poor u miki
alex- or ad+2nd vowel+ (i don't know if you're in the states) domiono's pizza had a coomerical avoid the ****
fmitch- so true :)
FMitch - I've just googled and read/skimmed St Agnes'Eve. It's beautiful.
Does anyone think babble is trying to tell us something by putting ne4/5 in the grod so often?
hey haz i am sozzy bout before
alex- the last 4 letters sound like avoid
sprite I loved it as a fairy story to start with and then as I got older I understood more of the structure and meaning and still love it to this day
sprite-lol
i'm from the UK, thanks for help, got it eventually
Glad to have introduced it to you too Haz
Really special, FMitch.
y/w- sorry i couldn't clue it better
I'll print it out and re6/21 it at my leisure.
miki how many wordz u got?
I bookmarked it, will take my time to get to know it.
Dang, I didn't have that one thanks Haz
8
Sofia - still waiting for an apology for calling me ugly.
how many do u hav sofia
i did before look and yea i am REALLY sorry i was just angry
and miki i got 7
Haz could u please give me a clue
clue for pe8 please/thanks
Is it me - or is this a hard one today??
miki do u know how the clue system works
please Haz
i don't
It's challenging, Chris!
Hi Chris, one of the hardest we have had for a while
oggy- i'm not there yet-sorry
The best advice I can give is to look for four letter words that you know. The idea of the game is to find words - you're defeating the purpose if you try to rely too much on clues.
clue for pt9 06
yesterday was a hard one for me but, today is going much better.
thanx Haz
i just found 1
goo miki
Proof positive ..... a slough of snobocrats
and Haz do u have the clue for pt9 66
I agree with Haz
sofia how do u know how da system go
hi everyone - just stopped in for a little while - I'm still at work
i'll tell u later
wat does pt9 66 mean?
She knows because I explained it to her Miki
ap7? clues please
hi saphyre
Hi saphyre :) Welcome to troll central.

hi FMitch!
Having problems with my internet connection at home so not sure if I will be able to finish this one - still at work right now
not very cultured, eh?
yes I am lol
Hey Fran
Absolutely not, LOL FMitch.
ar 4,4 any clues?
A + what you want trolls to get .... off :)
thick with snobocrats
sprite-lol
ar4/4 - designated piece of land
Couldn't resist, sorry ;) And it was for the A4/5, not the A4/4, so doubly sorry.
thnk you i was lookin at the wrong e lol im such an id 5/12
lol sprite
Thank you, Alex. I'd missed the id5!
oggy - can you give a clue for that pe8?
sprite mmmnn ar 5? troll? all i can think of is rolloff or reel
lol sprite dats ok
Alex: when we get irritated, we just want to get ... of them.
arid
shooot
That's it, lol.
typed in the wrong place
but ive got that one
ar 5 ???
And no one will take it away from you anymore :)
???
For the Ar5, insert a vowel to the one you just gave us.
lol
which im very sorry about
Not at all, it happens. To all of us. Bad structure of the site.
lol yeh
mmmnn i still cant get it
ill get it eventually
im looking for the ar 5/10 not the 12's
alex, it's the plural of the ar4/4, add a vowel
it has to be are somthing
alex - plural of the land
chris pe8 is a topping for pizza
Thanks oggy. I always thought that needed a double consonant.
thanks oggy!
it says it doesnt exist in the puzzle
thanks oggy!
add a vowel alex, it's a latin plural.
Latin plural, Alex.
it doesnt end in an 's' alex
i need 2 pr7 any clues
lol if only i knew latin
ill get it eventually
Which have you got, Oggy?
i got the first one i think
got it yay
thnx every1
What's the points value? They're all different.
pr7/40
by for a while nap time.
bye hodag
Sleep well, hodag.
That's the second. For the others it's before the money and before the uprising.
pr7/36 - pr + 2nd vowel + ce4/5
oggy, one is a law or principle
thanks............
morning all -this grid is a struggle today! Have I woken up less intelligent than yesterday or is this a fiddly grid?
Those are strange words, Sue. Thanks.
The latter, snowy, for certain.
You're welcome.
ar 6, 18 plz?
ty sprite! I was beginning to panic!
Today's is taking me more time than usual, anyway.
where inwales are ufrom?
And me!
I live about 5 miles from Llanelli & 20 from Swansea Alex -are you from Wales too?
clue for pr7/40?
chris, it's a law or principle
Pr 7/40 is a legal document, Chris.
Like the Pr7/36, only one letter differs.
yes but opposite end
Alex - you're obviously using Lickety's list which is a great help. You might also want to try some other useful resources for finding words. I use www.morewords.com to access lists of words. It's very useful.
thanks sprite
There are quite a few Welsh people playing now. Oggy is from Barry
They are a great help with Welsh words :)
thanks haz
lol. I don't speak Welsh but know quite a few words -I tyoe thenm in all the time, just in case
there's that pesky volcano again!
No grid is complete without our vulcano
except yesterday's when it would have been fun to see an icon of it!!
lol Fran where would we be without it? It's the babble word of 2006!
While you're chasing babblets, don't forget n4/4, To5/10 and Ar6/18 :)
missed the n4/4, thanks sprite.
There are probably more, but I missed the others, lol.
i think do4/5 qualifies as a babblet
It's odd how regularly words appear in grids for days at a time & then disappear for a while.
ni4/5 too, I think.
ty for that one sprite
ar 6,18 plzzzz
ty sprite, missed that one too!
alex, it rhymes with what your elbow is.
thnk you nice clue
ar plus what goes with ment to form a healing cream
yw alex.
help for pr7/32 just cant get it.
pr + 2nd vowel + ri4/4
Before something which needs quelling, Oggy.
oggy, before the unruly mob
need helpwithCa's
thanks all got it. its easy when u know how.
Alex - find a superhero's attire and build on that.
Can someone help me with the U? I am totally out of things to try.
alex- superman wears a ca**, the others come from that
us plus spanish for'what?'
Thanks Haz! Well, that was one direction I had not tried, that S, LOL.
thanks haz! that is so not a word.
It is too!
i'm with you fran
use it in a sentense haz!
apparently its a latin word
or sentence even.
dior
Haz and enable are of one mind in this? LOL!
beebee, enable doesn't wear designer labels! :-)
isn't a word- why? they make plenty of money- ;)
fran- haha
Enable still wears bear skins, to be precise.
but it will drive italian cars (fiat)
and it doesn't appreciate french impressionists either.
But has a volcano which realy ought to be capitalised!
ok- time for a break the last 8 words were a no go- so, i'm going to get a chocolate and caffiene fix- then maybe i too can become one with the grid
later beebee!
Be one..... with the grid.... :)
4 more Rs to go. Let's see where they are hiding.
can i have a clue for the first ca5/14 pls
is pernod a brand name?
Oh, and I found another babblet: i4/4 comes before the preposition.
Right, I'm going to be at one with my shopping list. I have 130 words, leaving 53 to find later. Have a good day all.
rolin, the one i have is a military unit
bye haz!
yes fran..it is..
bye Haz -happy shopping
Bye Haz, it was a pleasure :) *hug*
Bye all.

Good for you, Fran, lots of fun to play that way, isn't it :)
rolin: it has a latin ending.
Sprite - could do with some help with the 8 & 9's. I have an8/40, pe8/50 & pt9/66
PS - I'm not working from a list either!
re8, in8,

Chris, there is a Te9/66 that refers to various unsaturated hydrocarbons. in8/40 not mistaken ;) re8/45 what you have to do after you have spend your salary.

Morning all!
hello Pam
morning pam
Morning pam! Love the user picture! :)
it very very quite in here this morning
v hectic up to an hour or so ago. bed-time for many
ohhhh
I have been neither for, nor against, apathy for days now.
very deep Byz.
ty, euterpe--brb--must feed the dog
then, I must find that pe8? maybe? lol
(I have given up all hope for the pt)
pam - when you come back PE8 is a pizza topping
thanks, lynxxx--China (the dog) is eating, so I will dive in to the grid!
got it--thought there would have been 2 ps in the middle...
I thought it had 2 p's
me to pam
it is babble though !
must be a babble thing
dictionaryreference.com says 2, too, but as lynxxx says--it's babble!
pt anyone?
oh, and that te9? I have been lurking for a bit, Sprite's clues did not help me, nor did the ending...
almost mans name and I eat
for pt
good clue
awesome, kalilia, thanks!
yw...glad you got it:)
thanks, kalilia, it helped me too.
and, based on an earlier misread of clue, I thought it ended in oid...
great!
TY - a 'perfect' clue
it is, lynxxx! Much better, to my mind, than the clues that spell it out. Especially when there are hours and hours left for this grid!
given the speed I'm going, I might need hours and hours.
totally agree
me, too, pdb!
I have 66 left...am almost at a standstill now
phantoms--terror, paranoid hmmmmm...
my phantom: terrine
less like nighmare material than yours, pam
much--unless you are the goose...
hey pam your icon symbol is in the grid *hehe*
yep, Euterpe and i "made it"
lol
lol
not that I change my icon to keep up, but is there a theme today?
soda,pop
thanks
pteradactyl provides the beginning and iodine, without a vowel, the end for the 9
mine is do you wanta,wanta, fanta
hehe*
ahhhh... the print was tiny, shorty...
yes its very tiny ,I love that commercial
Perhaps it's a regional thing? don't know the commericial
well Im off to cut the rest of the grass since my husband didnt do it yesterday like he said he would
no I dont think it is
at least it's a bit cooler than earlier this week
I know I hardly went out of the house this week
such a relief
BBL
bye
bye
my, but one could write a grim tale withthis grid
lol, pam
"Do you not know me, you i 5/12? Have you not seen my c 5/16 form before? Behold, I am the grim r 6/21, come to claim your soul." " Unless you r 6/21 of your sins," sayeth the angel, and then you will e 4/4 your place in the kingdom of p5/14."
Or some such.....
very good pam!
lol, thanks, Kallia
so clever, pam
can you write one with some words I dont have?
lol, Kallia! Since I have more remaining than you, 80 to be exact, I daresay, you probably have what I do, lol
perhaps that could be the new form of clueing. All narrative.
lol possibly
kallia, is that your cat? What wonderful coloring.
I took Russian in college. The second year TA was from Moscow, very driven. It appalled her that on one exam, I did not use all of the vocabulary words in an individual sentence but wrote a story and, to her chagrin, the words that did not fit, maybe 2 or 3, I just left out!
yes ...she is beautiful
She could not imagine not just then writing sentences or something
pam, you renegade
Goodmorning! Does anyone have either of the nines? I've seen the clues, but still don't getit.
lol, c'est moi, pdb
the te eludes me, eva
eva-good morning-pt9=pt+2nd vowel+get *** of junk+3rd vowel+n+2nd vowel
the pt, hmmm think of a silent P, woman's name short for, actress T Russell, then the d word for eat
te9=te+r+what you write with+4th vowel+3rd vowel+fourth letter of alphabet
thanks, beebee--i must have tried EVERY variation but that one!
I read your profile--what kind of dogs? And, btw, doesn't sound sad at all. Well, except for the hubby not "getting" babble, lol
y/w
shih tzu, lab and bird dogs
thanks beebee!
sounds like a handful!
Thanks beebee - I've nearly worn the keyboard out trying to get that one.
Thanks beebee - I've nearly worn the keyboard out trying to get that one.
the only real "trouble" comes from the "real" kid- my son ;)
third q anyone? i have the one describing Oscar Wilde and me, and the more so...
third q is the same as a verb, past tense
those are the two I have, pam.
nope--wrong!
q...ending sounds like a bird
A primitive hand-turned grain mill 5 letters
qu+ when you're cremated you go in an u**(chande the u to an e)
thanks, kallia
thanks beebee and kallia!
love those glasses, Katt
kate
I like the definition for that last q: a primitive hand-turned grain mill.
The woman who did the old navy ads had them

ad7: gland in the throat or nose...

BRavo!

bye all!
Thanks for all the clues for an8. Bit woolly headed today and was struggling! Staggered over the halfway mark so any thing else is a bonus. Now I must clean up - visitors tomorrow so I can't put it off!
jfb...thouse are my initials
Happy Saturday, everyone
bye Kat!
bye grace
Obviously initials for special people bean66! Bean was a nickname I was given at school.
thats my nickname...
are those your initials too?
Curiouser and curiouser.........
Yes bean66
omg...maybe we have the same name
hi all back from housework & popping in and out in an effort to conquer this grid! Still got 31 to find but babysitting the 2nd lot of littlies later on so it may be a long night!
what is your icon, jfb?
looks like a wind tunnel
Its a rock formation on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall called the Cheesewring
that's cool!
Its a fantastic spot in the most beautiful part of the country - as you can see I'm very proud to be Cornish.
if anybody still needs an8: try an***** cruciate ligament, or ACL as sports fans know it.
jfb..you tell me your name, and i'll tell you mine
Miller due you have a clue for AP7 please?
My Christian name rhymes with the nickname and I'm female -does that give you a clue?
not yet, but I'll let you know

Pernod is a spirit drink, tastes of aniseed
wow, FMitch.. thanks.. I didn't know that.. right now I am waging a battle against fleas. My cats brought them in to the dog, and it is quite a war; I have banned the cats from the house this summer while I work at ridding the little buggers.
had the mouse in the wrong spot...soooo sorry
ty bean! : D
aloy...my sister just got done battling fleas..
how did she do it, bean...?
LOL Aloy, good luck with the "war"
nasty business..
ty, FM..i am not a drinker..but I DO love the buzz from tequila..(ta killya)..a rare thing.
thanks bean!!!!!!
she bombed twice...and got advantage for her cat
Good afternoon/morning all. Back for my last 48.
hi Haz
oh..I bought some bombs yesterday.. but I have to finish the babble grid before I set them off. (-:
hi haz. bye all - see you later. nut - you are right - i'm getting out of here!
np...glad i could help
Afternoon
by TO
Who's setting off bombs?
Haz, sorry hit enter key by mistake.
flea bombs!
me too, tempy,. Later all.
lol...flea bombs!!!
did you try that aloy?
Bye TO - bombs against fleas, I take it?
Good morning Haz. Good morning all. Haz, I've been reading your new stories and lovig the care you and your husband spend on those lovely creatreus great and small.
did the upstairs yesterday... downstairs today.. basement tomorrow ...
Aloy is infested but we still love him
OK Hows this for backward thinking -have just cleaned the bathroom & am now off to shower! I can never decide which way to do it -tho' this way I get to shower in a CLEAN space!
Hello hetty - glad you enjoyed the latest instalments. I never realised I had such a store of them!
aw, thanks, FMitch... I FEEL infested!
even fleas have aright to live--but not in my house (NIMBY)
right, hetty.. so right!
Is anybody else scratching?
well stop scratching, it's not nice in public :)
what was Noah thinking when he put 2 fleas on the ark
What about Stid, and all the stories she has stashed away in her subconscious?
True, you never see the Queen scratching.
scratch, scratch... pooh on Noah!
ROFLMAO
anyone have a clue for ai5,10
any clue for CA 7/40?
Stid's stories take me back to another time and style of writing I love them but am about 3 chapters behind
ca7/40 past tense of a form of dancing
thanks haz
ai5/10: one who opens windows
You're welcome!
afternoon all :)
Sherb! Good afternoon!
i don't suppose noah actually had to put 2 fleas on the ark, they probably just came with the dogs
hi sherb... are you flea free?
tx aloy
yw, glad you got it..
flea free? ...I certainly hope so!!
how bout..an8,40
good, sherb.. then you can babble, but stay away from me for a while... do you have fleas in your neck of the woods?
your butt is your pos******, you have similar thing in your brain lobes, an8 is the opposite
please dont make me think that hard
ok, another word for inside, but change the first vowel. it's kind of a thinking word, i dunno...
lol
The Queen wouldn't say 'butt' either.
I was bothered by fleas once... I'd moved into a new flat and I found my legs getting bitten... couldn't work out what it was, until I found out the people before me had a cat... which had kindly left some of its fleas behind...
LOL Haz!
the queen hopefully wouldn't say a lot of words that show up in the grid...
You're right Haz, she would say "one's butt"
egads, sherb... that's why I'm battling fleas now.. my cats brought them in.. ugh
whose the queen?
whose the queen?
i suppose she belongs to all the people of the UK
The Queen to whom we refer is Queen Elizabeth II
please... she's the Queen, not just any old queen...
but it is an interesting philosophical question. perhaps all anglophiles should be included?
omg!!!!!!!! duh!!!!!
She's also the head of state in commonwealth countries.
sounds reasonable to me, hurshy...
lol....i thought there was a queen in babble!!!!
ROFLMAO
are commonwealth countries not included in the term "UK"? i was hoping it was an all-inclusive thing.
i suppose sprite would be the queen of babble...
easy mistake to make, bean... we're loyal to Dr G...
I STILL DIDN'T GET AN8,40
No, the United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The commonwealth countries are what's left of the British Empire as was.
oops...didn't mean to yell
so is there a word for that? do i just say, "the former British Empire"? but then that sounds like England is gone too?
No, the Commonwealth covers it nicely.
ok...only it's confusing for americans because some states are commonwealths, ie the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
nm...got it
bean, an + there's an in****** and an ex******
calm down, bean... it will be ok. Think of a tiny insect pest at picnics, add an interjection and then the first person singular and then end with "either, **"
thanks..i feel stupid
an 8/40...like a designer of the inside of your home...but change the first letter from i to a
ooh, you got it .. hurray..
ok...on to the ar's
lol
any clues for ap5 please, I've monkeyed until my eyes are crossing
you wear it when you cook flosey
oh, thanks hurshy
oh sure hurshy...give her the easy clues
lol
you have to admit bean, ap5 is a more commonly used word than an8, it's inherently easier to clue :)
yeah..yeah..i know it
I was stuck on keeping the e in that word !!!
i haven't got any of the other 8's, folks, what do they start with?
lol bean
is it me or is this puzzle harder than usual?
yeah it's kinda tough today i think ypsi
usually I cruise along for awhile and I am finding myself plodding along very slowly like a little turtle
I'll vote for tuff..
in8/40, re8/45 are two more
aw, how cute of you ypsi
dratted prefixes!
i want torpor, torpedo, paranoid, decadent...
Hi Cuz
hi Cuz
your pickles are cute
hehehe yeah
I want some of your pickles
I am glad they are yummy
they are yummy! 3 jars to go, I am the only one eating them
this puts me in mind of an andy griffith episode...
those pickles look good... :)
you ate a jar already??
they look delish
and pepperoni, that would be a good one
the cucmbers have finally calmed down...
awww you said a word!!!!!!!!
Yeah a pickle conversation...
I did?
no hurshy did
hurshy - take a letter of of the p word you just typed and you will get a 9e/50
*pe8/50
oh i had no idea it could be spelt that way!!!!!!!!!
sorry :(
I did not have that either ;)
thanks hursh
found the re8!
and the in8!
it's not so hard when you run down your list of 6's
ok now you are bragging
ha ha
just excited sorry
the last no 4/4?
me too
film black?
(is there more than one no4/4?)
klaurel - reverse the letters of the black in french
yeah, there is like 2? I got film black
oh yes there is, switch it... oh haz said it
That is reverse the last two letters.
incipient, that'd be a good word to have
any clues for the in8?
thanks, hurshy! and I eat that stuff all the time!
some people believe the bible is in8
and/or the pope
Hey. We've cleaned out the laptop keyboard...and touch wood, seems to be working...
flosey, do you hae er6/18? just prefix it with the in
oh, did your hamster pee on it, matty?
that happened to me once...
Well done matty - now just keep the sippy cup handy
dont drink and babble ;)
Hang on - gonna change my icon. Sarah (mini babble fairy) is on her way to the States. Hurshy - LOL - but now - a glass of beer and an emphatic gesture. What's today's grid like?
it's a little hard today matty
OK - refresh for a cool looking cake. Is it worth my while starting...might as well, as the stats don't bother me.
Yes, there are lots of nice words to find matty.
too...many....P's...
thanks aloy - have it now and from there got the 8
that's what i meant, lots of nice words *tries to remember the whole positive attitude thing her shrink tells her about*
wtg, flosey!
really is an interesting puzzle today
good advice... positive attitude does work... eventually...
wow that is quite some cake matty
What are my chances of getting the long word without going through the chat log? Yah Fi - isn't it - just found it on a Google search.
am i being stupid, i can't find any O's? if i'm being stupid, just tell me so i can hit myself with fishes now
bbl...going to a family pool party
wow matty did you make that cake?
bye, bean.. have fun..
Cake was google searched, sadly. I've not got that kind of talent.
hurshy - there's the lovely or5/12 - what the impoverished author said to the publisher about her book.
a crosswordy clue!
There's also oi5/12 - add spanish day to find how an Irishman would pronounce idea.
ok got that oi
fantastic isn't it? would be good for St Davids Day!
The only other o is or4.
okey dokey
Off to the pub - might see y'all later - but withOUT any beer or other liquid anywhere near the computer! LOL.
Bye Matty!
aha, got the 5 (haz, there are so many things i thought could work, eg "orpen"!)
have one for me, matty
yay for o's!
Glad the clue worked eventually!
and yay for haz!
Just doing my bit to keep you positive....
you could always rub a balloon on my hair. or would that make the balloon positive and me negative?
is % driving anyone else nuts?
How lucky am I that the computer still works...
You're talking to a complete non-scientist here.
and atalante's in germany...
hurshy - % isn't there. It doesn't matter how many positive thoughts you have.
i know. sigh.
but, hurshy.. you are close! try reversing the 2nd and 3rd letters..
ooh almost peapod too
hmm what does that mean? i know prescient...but...
of %
hmm, it's related to the 7 after it, interesting.
it means to lead a church choir in singing
As much as it pains me my last p is the 1st pe4/6 and I have tried everything, help please!
past tense of went weewee
sounds same as 4th pe4?
fmitch pe + past tense
Thank you all
oh 4/6, sorry, didn't read carefully
. or micturated if you prefer..
yw
physics comes in handy!
Back shortly.
this puzzle makes me feel like such an i 5/12!
lol, ypsi...
you know, ce words are really problematic. of the ones i've found, only ONE is a word i know outside babbleland. this seems a bad proportion to me.
we need to put some legislation before congress and parliament about this
hi all --- Babbler is offline right now; what's the theme today (and tomorrow if you know) ?
you can always look at her handbag in the rankings page
ch1212 there is a link from Lickety's page too
I see ... thanks.
wow, helpful info about osteoperosis there!
enable should watch law & order, perp is so a word, even if it is abbreviated
ch - if you add Babbler to your friends, her profile will be there even when she's off line...
It's the pe words that have had me gnashing my teeth-after the first one they all seemed hard to find. But I've got 'em all except the darned pe8. Any advice?
It's the pe words that have had me gnashing my teeth-after the first one they all seemed hard to find. But I've got 'em all except the darned pe8. Any advice?
alt spelling of pizza topping that i pretty much gave away not knowing there was an alt spelling
Sherb, she is one of my Babble friends, but we found out she really does have to be online, unfortunately. Meantime, would someone simply let me know what today's theme is?
perea
oops, sorry...
soda/pop/coke
any help on ce 5/12 please?
soda or pop ch1212
Gee thanks, hursh, didn't know one "p" would be acceptable in toping!

hursh--ca or ce?
erda had it on the nose :)
tee hee
pr 7/32, you say? intriguing.
sorry i have pe 8
o + what you do with a book
ce6/24 is th roman (latin) name for corn or wheat--take away the a from breakfast food and replace iwh latin masculine ending
or, if you were being observant and noting that i have a harry potter icon, you might say homonym of harry's godfather
thnx hurshy..got the or but im too slow this morning to figure out your intriguing clue for pr 7
no no chj, i mean it's intriguing that there is a 7/32, i haven't got it
if only we could have an alt spelling "protine"...lol
ok so how about re5/12 and 6/21
aha i got it. before the looting burning chaos
the last ones...the 5 is the third to last re and the 6 is the last
a new task!
thnx hursh got the pr
oh the last is to be sorry for stuff
and the last is... like the beginning of a bad person *****bate
i mean the 5/12, not the last
so the last is NOT to be sorry
there's more
got the 5 not the 6
i was being silly, i shouldn't have assumed that was the last
i have re +cooped up
the last is to do with a book over again
but what is between them, ponder
oh the tv one
Afternoon, y'all. Wasn't "Dirn" a word a few days ago?
thanks chj, you've been very helpful to me in my stupidity
no that was durn
thnx now the final 3 are te5/10 (firtst), 6/21 and 7/28
Silly vowels. They all sound alike sometimes. Thanks, Hurshy.

*grabs a lysol wipe for face*
i'm not snoopy...
OUCH got it in my eyes
got the 5..just te 6/21 and te 7/28 to go
I'm schroeder
Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everyobody today?
i'm sally
what's the theme? I haven't changed my icon in so long, it is getting dusty
no maybe pep patty
soda/pop/coke
oh and good morning/evening/day to everyone!!!!
oh my gosh, the te 6/21 we had yesterday!
*gets can of air to clean off bears icon*
after nine + abbr for taping on your VCR
i REALLY want the 7 to be terrain, but it's not :(
I don't see a te 6 from yesterday
i got the 6
oh that one. I see it now
yeah i tried terrain about 5 times
oh i remembered the 7
it sounds like a large soup dish (maybe it IS an alt spelling?)
fireworks
*and the band played on*
already, chj????? good job!
Congratulations chj on your fireworks! Hooray for U!
thank you soooooo much hurshy, you've been a doll and i owe you big time..anything you want is yours for the asking
$200,000 ought to cover it
im writing a check right now
*jumps up and down*
Does anyone have a clue for the to 5/10 word please
the stuff you need for your printer/copier
Actually, I need the second to5/10 word if you have.
did the te 6/21 ever get clued? too much smoochicng. I lost track
see when you say THE, i assume there's just one. now we're talking.
donut shapes!
yes the te6 was from yesterday, after nine + abbr for taping on your VCR
(donut shapes is the to5/0)
oh you know what i mean
donut shapes?
good grief. that was torgone's icon yesterday
or if you are mathematically challenged, ms. spelling, double the vowel.
how about de 7/36? Please
to do with your teeth
got it, Hurshy
I don't believe it my word/icon from yesterday is in todays grid too, the t6/21, whats the odds of that?
436,721.56 : 1
lol, if you combine io6 and di5 you get a place i wouldn't want to di4
In which case I wish I had put a bet on hurshy
I was amazed as well, FMitch!
(i just wanted to sound spockish so i made a number up, i don't know if the odds are actually calculable since you choosing that icon involves human brain activity which is unpredictable)
Urgh I have r's d's and t's left
i have all the t's and all but one r...
I think the odds must be quite small... I've only been playing a year, and that word has come up several times... in fact, I'd never heard it before Babble...
No, Madagascan hedgehogs aren't too plentiful around here.
I love thAt word... never knew it before babble..
and all but one D too now!
(that was me offering to help, fmitch)
it's my Babble anniversary on Monday...
Refresh for yesterdays icon of the little fella, got quite attached to him by the end of the day
I think it's mine as well, Sherb.
it's my dentist appointment on monday...
Thanks hurshy - I'll get there in the end
i suppose i will too, but at the moment i need 6 P's!!
My 1 year is on Tuesday
your profile says yours is on Wednesday, Haz... did you read about it in the Mail on Sunday?
Yes, I did. So I have to wait until Wednesday?
maybe you didn't check it out straightaway...
Hi everybody. I wonder why urped (or erped) isn't a word?
Nah, lets declare next week at Brits anniversary week
I can't remember the sequence of events. I know I used to have a life.
thats why I got Dr_G to put the joined date on as I knew there were a lot of us that all invaded at the same time
afternoon all, I am totally stuck on the pr 7/32 any clues would be appreciated
before the looting burning chaos, sheryl
Haz there was a time before babble??
my broadband connection certainly started paying its way after I discovered Babble...
Apparently. But it wasn't very enjoyable.
doc should also have a graph showing the numbers of babblers registered over time, that would be interesting.
gray matter isn't picking up on that clue hurshy can you expand
There was one dreadful day when the site was mentioned on another website and we really WERE invaded. That was scary!
a mob of people looting and burning and causing chaos is an r4, you want before that happens
Very true hurshy, the Brit invasion then the next one after that was when something was posted on msn
sheryl: ri4/4 is the word that will help, I think
ah got it
People fled to BabAnon to vent their spleen!
ty
for myself, it said I joined 8/27/05; but I didn't turn pro until this past may or June. I must have visited this site a few times before I got "hooked"
9 words left and 2 of them are 7-letters!!! unbelievable.
can someone give me a hint on the 2 9's before I dash off to do productive things?
te9 starts soundling like paint remover then ends with the same thing a lot of the long 'uns end with today
LOL Nef - it took me about 3 weeks before I decided I was hooked and went pro
pt9 starts like flying dinosaur, then you, then eat
Anyhoo back to the word search
i don't have any re7's, that seems implausible...
whew, Fireworks at long last (phone call interruptions... how dare they call during babble?).. anyway, its back to the flea war for me.. good luck all... this one was not easy! Bye for now..
I was hooked straightaway... but it was five days before I finished a grid... I didn't know about things like a2zwordfinder...
Accept the implausible, hurshy
Good luck Aloy :)
aloyisius, perhaps i can inspire you with my song (to the tune of the US Marine Corps song) about when my cats had ringworm
FMitch, I don't remember visiting this site last year! Or last winter either!
bye Aloyisius, and good luck with the fleas... I only got rid of mine after LOTS of spraying with some very noxious stuff :(
ugh, hurshy... sing away..
pt clue was great - thanks
It was ages before I finished a grid - but I think it was good training. It built character.
from the tail of marty-zuma to the ears of cinder b we will fight our kittens' battles against ringworm, tick and flea
first to fight for fur and skin cells and to keep our kittens clean
we are proud to claim the title of the Enforcers of Quarantine
very good hurshy :)
*bows* i'll be at the song parody club on tuesday at 9...
lol, hurshy.. that is just wonderful, and it has indeed inspired me... off I go now to bomb the +**%$!#! OUT OF those nasty buggers...
Afternoon all....any clues for an 8?
go aloyisius!
anything else on that te 9 clue? not getting it even with the paint remover
I think I need to spend less time with pirates. when it didn't accept 'arred' my first thought was "oh, right, that has 3 'r's"
LOL Takuma!!!!
think of the bad creature who gave eve the forbidden fruit but make it start with a T and end with an OID
ah well, suppose I'd better start thinking about supper... at least the weather's cooled down enough for me to use the oven again... see you tomorrow folks... :)
te9 - you have the first three letters? Then a writing instrument and finish with the robot ending.
thanks!
have a nice evening, sherb!
Bye sherb! It's turned warmer here again. Is another heatwave on the way?
bother, i guess i probably need p7's...i've already found 3, i don't wanna find any more!
Bye sherb and Hey Mamabear!!!
hi FMitch!
Keep looking among those p's for those 7 letters. There are two more.
i knew it.
mine are all pr's, do i need pe?
oh i must need at least one pe.
There are two pe7. Both pe7/36
ty haz
got one that sounds like that nasty creature again!
and a stone, that's the easier one, i should have found that before, thanks so much haz
who feels like comparing i words?
gotta go do something else before this sucks up my whole day! I am halfway - that's good for now!!! Have fun all, *waving*
i have stupid person, never wrong, japanese box babblet, preposition, chemical, flatten your clothes, add vowel to that, past tense it, and person who flattens
hi babblers 117 still to go..i am late getting back today!
hurshy, take a vowel off of your chemical
Hurshy....think you are missing the chemical without the last vowel.
excellent, thanks jee and kkiln
*hums happily* 5 to go!
any clues for an 8?
an8 frontal lobe of your brain
kkiln, what you put on a pizza, minus a p
Sorry, was away there preparing the evening meal. an8 uses the same ending as designers who make your rooms look good.
how about the re8?
made money again
Thanks....saw it clearly once I knew what I was looking for.
Good luck seano
thanks hurshy, should have had that one
it's always hard to know what you can re- and what you can't
4!
I agree, and there are a lot of suffixes and prefixes on the grid today.
3!
2! (and that was a fishy one!)
you can not be ce6/24
about what and why not?
any help with the an 8/40? that is my last a word.
LOL it took a lot of monkeying to find...first thing i thought when i saw it!
1! yay!
an... not inside or outside but ending the same way as some synonyms for those words, nef
may i have the point total please?
an8/40 - clued a lot recently, means frontal, starts with picnic insects, ends like in---- designer who arranges decor
hello
Hello!
hey nrkii you're just in time for my last word
wow, we'll take a picture so it will last longer
thanks, Vicuna. I have to hide chat at times so I don't put things in the wrong box. :)
and i really think it should be dorque, a french dork.
watch out nut, you don't want another big kiss
Discretion is the better part of valor, Nef! :)
seano -- appreciate c lue for ce 6/14
6/24 I mean..
i got my anti hurshy spray on now, if you can bear the poop stink of it, then go for it
so, um, point total anyone?
I know, but I'm like the scarecrow at times: "If I only had a brain!" :D
fireworks for me, off to enjoy the sun
Yay Shryl
anyone need a clue before i go
ty nef
ce6/24 - night-blooming plant, sounds like, as seano says, "You can't be ce-----"
congrats Sheryl!!!!!
point total = 2538
thanks kkiln
We all are, Nef. I was applauding you on the wisdom of hiding the log! Congrats, Sheryl.
ty vicuna

:( I haven't got it

I think it is di, but I do not have it.

second ar 5/12... i have the palm
One Doren, anyway! :)

YAY HURSHY!!!!
and HOORAY for you
Yay for hurshy!
lol vicuna...doren is my name s is my middle initial
yay hurshy
hi...happy weekend
glad I was here for that moment, I have tears in my eyes now... LOL
:P
hursh, how are you doing btw?
doreen and dorian are in the grid, anyone named those things?
i'm ok nrkii
and h. ross perot!
Oh, now I'm going to have to say your name differently in my head whenever I see it!
hi angel!
Hello, Angelsong!
not to mention ron, don, ned, sue, rod, nora...
no, but people always call me doreen or dorian..can't bellieve that i spelled it right
any clues for te6/21?
oh doren s, I'll never look at you the same again
after nine + abbr for taping something on your VCR
the number + what you do with the vcr, angel
angel, it was in the grid yesterday too
like when we found out that boatierra was boa tierra and we'd been abbreviating it as boat
ah nrkii, but will you look at me better?
well, now that I have my glasses on...
i bet none of us are going to forget that te6/21 for quite a while, now that we've had it two days in a row
need one more 8 - have the pt and an...
And everyone calls phandmd "phand" when it's ph and md, I think.
oh i am completely capable of forgetting the word
or when my friend told me he thought my name was ANARCHY (nrkii)
my son is a ph and md, so i always get that right
what is nrkii anyway? i always think you're nikki
That's a great one, nrk!
well i call btwrt buttwart...but she's more a sudokuer than a babbler
or from newark!
And is it meant to signify "buttwart'?
nrk are my initials, ii means the second one
oops, phone call from sibling, must ignore chat for a bit
mama, the pt is a 9, and there are 4 8's, can you clarify what you need?
simple explanation
no vi, it is not :)
I always think of Unexoise (I can't even spell it) as "uneasy."
sorry - I have the pe 8, re 8 and an 8
lol
i thought she was from aixe (in france) therefore une aixoise
in8, never wrong
sounds plausible dorens
i am spending too much time trying to find the first in 4/4 and i know i should be able to but give up...clue please?
Yes, that is what it is. But I still read it "uneasy" in my head. Luckily I am not called upon to pronounce it in real life.
thanks hurshy!
japanese box babblet
in4/4 - Japanese box that shows up often. in + beginning of fish eggs.
why do i never get that? thanks vicuna
hi everyone! : )
hello TO :)
Temple Owl, your icon is still apropos today!
Dorens, your saying that reminded me to look for the darn volcano that I never get... and sure wnough, there it is!
hullo owl
i almost always put it in everytime i see the letters ANYWHERE in the grid
hi TO
vi - just remember, if you are good at bluffing, you can play poker in a volcano and still keep your poker face
Why, because I'll fail to notice the volcano, like I always do in Babble?
hi nut!
lol, no vi, it's just a mnemonic device...because the volcano is the poker word backwards, so if you get one, you can think to get the other
I AM good at bluffing -- see, bet you can't tell what I'm thinking!
Oh yes, good point.
you're thinking i'm insane
*reminds self never to play poker with vi*
Wrong! I'm thinking what a total id5/12 I am, because I had the poker word, and not the volcano.
BUT you hadn't heard my trick yet, so there you go.
ok i'm stumped on the 9s. all i can think is pteredactyl
Believe it or not, the fact that they go together HAD actually occurred to me before now! ;)
oh. ok then, you are an id5 :)
Don't worry, TO, you're safe. I get way too bored with poker to play.
shouldn't ea4,4+t be there??
it is like the pteredactyl
good start bonkler, add yourself and then to eat to the first 4 letters of that
pe 5/12 please?
thanks hurshy
pe 5/12 rhymes with a country in the far east ruled by kim jong il
without the north
thanks hurshy
Well, lucky I'm so good at bluffing, so you can't see that inside I'm crying, "Boo hoo, hurshy thinks I'm an id5."
lol vi, i was just being agreeable
i was looking for pernio. which actually is a skin condition kind of like chillblains which I actually have which is how I know it is actually a word
i kept trying pernod, is that a wine or something? why is it in my head?
How agreeable, indeed! :P
anyway vi you know i don't really think that :)
I tried that, too. MAybe if you want to make a career out of being agreebale, you could charge 50 cents pernod. Ha ha.
good one vi!!
acer
crap sorry
Latin name of maple trees, or one who lays the highest value card... but still not acceptable to enable.

good luck monkeys - it's a tough one
it's TE 9/66 if that helps at all...
whatchoo call me mama?
didn't call you nuthin - having a complex?
okay, here's a question for all of you. Why is the past tense of ore not allowed today; nore is the person who does that job? I'm su** I've used them before in grids
love your glock nut
nef, nope it's never allowed and always annoys me
the plural is the only one that is allowed
Well, Nef, I know I've TRIED them every time, but I'm not su4/5 it's ever ALLOWED them.
thanks rennie - it's symbolic
Please can I be clued on the re6/18, got 6 left to find and running out of steam
I am stuck on two no's: no 4/4 (second one) and no 5/10. Please
fmitch, to make money again
re6/18 - work for money again -- and you can past tense it.
ing: the seaweed? and the water wheel
help with Q word -- I have strange and stranger
Okay, then I'm losing my marbles. :(
hey ingy thingy!
Marbles are overrated, Nef! X)
nrk: not the king
Hi nutty!
thanks nrkii finally got that clue
not the king isn't in there
Only not-the-king if you replace an e with a consonant.
mnorp
thanks, because I thought I was crazy for a min
oohh sorry *goes back to look for marbles she has obviously lost*
unless you count how it's spelled in the book the Princess Bride, where she uses a lot of extra E's
Crazy you may well be, but the third qu means a hand mill.
i have extra marbles t-owl...i keep them n a jar...
but it is almost - and that is the work nrk wants...she will replace one of the vowels
yay, got that thanks vi and to!
I AM THE QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!
mine are in a jar too only i've misplaced that
vicuna, exactly!
hi everyone!
down to 26
hi eva!
lol onyx....i keep mine on a shelf in full view
*gets out notebook* vi - how long has it been since you were crowned?
My cat loves to play with marbles, but batts them under the furniture all the time. What does that say about my sanity?
what are marbles?
I hope I can google those, I cant figure out seaweed and water wheel
my brother is selling some marbles on ebay right now
yours ran away from home nut
inge seaweed, it was neither you, ****
inge, no + P**de and Prejudice
inge: the 5 adds a vowel to the end of the 4...think of a three letter no word that's too short
does anyone have any clues for the te9 & pt 9? They're makingme batty(ier)
It's weird that the "female Q" word came up today...I had looked at the Belgian paper online...first time I've done that in ages...and first thing I saw was that Q Paola broke her arm in 2 places while on holiday
I'm at my wit's end....help please with to6/27
Temple Owl, I should have added quotation marks to my exclamation. I was quoting Buttercup.
lol vi!
twist
chiley, it's a measure or description of twisting
chiley-when you exert a torce on something, or a french hat without the r
to6, 27 sounds like peter to** one of the monkees
so about those 9's........................
Thanks....I was ready to throw in the towel
the two 7s work off of the 6
Finally done and fireworks
eva..first 6 letters of what you use to get paint off + last three letters of barry bonds drug
got both no words. Thanks everyone. 10 words to go
yay mitch!
te9/66 - some chemical something-ot-other, te + pirate's favorite letter + 3-letter writing implement + ending of a v word meaning empty
That was a real hard one today
26 to go here... going to list now
thanks chj & vicuna!
congrats FMitch!
now how about the pt? I feel like i've tried every combo, and assumethat it hasthe same 3 letter ending as the other 9?
any clues for the in 8?
yay fmitch!!!!!!!!
I don't get the "never wrong" one...
eva..the other 9 starts like a winged dinosaur pt***dactyl + i eat
no, the pt9 ends like the red-staining io- chemical
lmustudents, someone who never strays off the path or makes a mistake is in******
lmu: do you have the er6/18 meaning wandering or random
p + te bird minus last letter + me + to eat
ass the in to it
Imustudent, think of a knight er---- who goes gallivanting about, and then add the negative prefix
ass the in?
I'm back.
inerrant
hi matty!
ooops!!! SORRY!
*goes into lurk mode*
thank you all! Ikept using and e or an a instead of an i in the middle.
That's it, Imustudent!

wrong box {blushing furriously!}
lol temple!
I'm working on the pt - struggling...

I know - I'm working on that clue...
Goodbye, Mamabear!
Bye Mamabear!
a partridge in a pe** tree
Thanks HAz
no, not an at word for eat. The word for eat when you're at a restaurant.
p + actress hatcher + eat, yep
It's the eat that's worrying me...
I have that, the one above it then
the eat thats in the puzzle
a cheap roadside restaurant is a ****r
hi all
Eat at a restaurant, matty.
Ok think alt word - if you go out in the evening you go out to d***?
greasy spoon ****r
Hello, Smiley.
great minds nrkii
pean
inge, change last letter to different cons
sorry
Haz Im glad I finished but sheesh that was a bit of a test today
yes chj, aren't they?
now inga is pean
thanks inge - I don't feel QUITE as bad, now!
You've shown great persistence, that's for sure, FMItch. You'll be ready for a rest.
never knew taht was a greasy spoon
Guess you have done Haz?
how many words
183 words
Yes, quite a while ago.
Congrats to you too then
oh my, the te 7/28 almost did me in!
Thank you! It was a twisty grid, for sure.
(whispers loudly...) WHERE'D EVERYONE GO?
(I think the grid consumed them all!)
im still here..just changing icons
We've been kidnapped and are being held to ransom. You have to pay to release us.
nice, chj
haz, I have no di6 right now
no tengo di6
this is a soda from my childhood..havent seen it in 40 years
Pausing for breath nrkii
Do French pigs not say "oinque"? And therefore, are they not oinquers?
my lasst 6 words are all re words, I cant even find what I am missing, ...I do noeed re 5/10 , just above what you do to a book again
Once you have ea6/21 some, our kidnappers will be in contact.
inge, went jogging again
or went out for class pres again
tx
ay, necesito ea4 some di6...
Might be a bit of a wait Haz
inge..if you go to the lickety link below and enter all the re words you do ahve, it will show you exactly what youre missing.. how long, number of points and position relative to other re words
Yes, so I see. No rich babblers to bail us out?
Vicuna, "oinquers" is not in the grid
People who spend all their time Babbling don't get rich!
No, hetty, but the singular is.
Agreed
Anyway, it's just that all words with Q in them are intrinsically funny.
Stuggling with the dreaded re's. Help anyone?
Fraid not Haz, have to rely on ourselves
meanwhile, nrkii, who is only half listening, tries to type oinquer into the add-word box
yes, Vi,especally when there's a"u" right next to the"qu"
hetty - what do you need?
hetty, are you listing? do you know which ones you are missing?
hetty there are 18 of them ..give us a clue please
Now I KNOW you're making fun of me, hetty! :)
hetty..see my 1:47 post
wink, that's the one i've been looking for, not that stupid fresca junk..... no wonder it didn't taste like I remembered.......... Nothing wrong with my memory.....
re 5/10- re+ past tense of run
well I wanted equus to work today
My last post went to heaven. I need the re 5/14 just above to express apologies, and the re 6/24 right below it
Oh, that would have been nice, nrk.
brandy..wink is the best..its not a diet drink like fresca..its grapefruit flavor
Hey BJ thanks for keeping the list going
Yes, nrkii, I'm oissing the third ,fourth, fifth, and sixth re6's and re8
express apologies?
re 5/14 = to tell again, perhaps only with the highlights (or to put a hat on again)
That's Missing, I'm not a french pig
re 6/24 = with a bad antenna, your tv will get bad re****ion
I know, haven't seen it forever, kept getting fooled by the look of the fresca, although it's not green enough..... Now that I know what I'm looking for, frustration is likely to set in permanently......
re6/24 - looks like what you get as evidence of payment but lacking i.
ooh, non-diet grapefruit soda sounds gooooood
lets open a wink disributership here in the northeast
Thanks, nrkii and Haz, got the first one
that was an error. I mean the words above and below the word to harvested
oh, now I see where express apologies is, but the re's you asked for aren't near that inge
recept
inge, do you have the one that is "just a little while ago"?
I'll settle fopr finding someone who makes it......
no, before that one, LOL!
re6/24 - harvested, re6/21, the one who harvests
no, I will try to find it
re + penny
good, that was one, no two
re6/21 - not long ago, re6/24, as clued previously. re6/18 , get money for working again, then past tense for re8/45
yes, I have re + penny
sorry, am caught up trying to find the pr 7/32
so distracted
before those rec wrods I need a 4/4 and a 5/14
re** end?
re6/21 further on - to be sorry, re6/21 - peruse a book again
and re + hat
pardon me while i do lunch
Thanks, comprehensive Haz. My problem now is the e6/18--to get money for working again
recap
Hello all -- just dropping in to give you a taste of my favourite pop
It's the person who gets the money, hetty
Wish I knew how to work tha one! I've worked harder--for no pay-- since retirement than ever before!
help with pr 7/32 please?
But think how much enjoyment you get!
pr+vowel+penny
pr7/32 - using the 'before' prefix, add an angry mob and fighting situation
Hetty, the trick is to work at something people value -- like doing plastic surgery or playing football. It's never going to get you anywhere if you teach, or raise kids, or be a nurse, or something useless like that!
nope, bubba, that's 7/36
nrk before a public disturbance
yes, thanks!
that's opk, i need all three of the pr's....
I came to work on the pe words but have been happily collecting the re ones clued so well! Thanks!
yes bj, no clue is every wasted ... it just sometimes lands with someone else :)
I need a re 4/4 just before the re+hat, My last word.
p + not long ago (r6/21)
inge, re** end
re + **e you a good witch... or a bad witch?
apso p + re6/14

tbear - you been surfing in south africa! totally!!!! oh am i envious!
brandyjack.... :)))
she didn't say she was surfing... just that he was....
thanks, nrkii, for the re8.
It sounds as though it's worth staying on for more details.
this is like a school reunion....loving it
its funny..every so often ill enter a word and wont see immediate green so ill assume it rejected the word..of course its just slow and accepts it when im not looking...then when i reenter it later, its still red because its already entered...but do i notice these little technicalities...noooooooooo
tbear, you sound very adventurous! I am a stay-at-home gardening type...
chj - uh oh
LOL chj, me too!
hello tbear
chj, I do that all the time
especially when monkeytyping
{{{{Tbear}}}}}
C'mon tbear - gis the detail
tbear - since you've been gone some more really great fun ppee ples have come aboard! hey eberyone - this is tbear! she is one great chick!
nrkii - may I beg for the other 8?
yeah, heilman, the rally starter

i'm scared - very scared
good thing you checked, inge! :-)
wb inge
thanks nrkii!
Hey inge, enjoy then
can I just say a big 'HI' to all the people | don't yet know and who have greeted me........is the jacuzzi still running
I think someone may have pe4 in the jacuzzi a little while ago ... I'd wait a bit
To think I could have driven into town, used up $6.00 worth of gas, all in vain...
Nah, it got clogged up with Ang's custard a while ago
no.. jac's uzi has been confiscated by the cops
s'okay, I have a kiddie pool and lots of bubble bath... ;-)
ah, got it, nrkii. thanks!
custard and p...... lovely!!!!!
so, there's a P 8? (inquiring minds want to know!)
ewwwwww custard pee

meanwhile, tbear's wondering "who let these elements in?"
LOL (ren will never eat pudding again...)

oh good, all I saw was men on 1st and 3rd with the count 1 and 2...

Good clue nrkii
nrkii ... thanks, i feel pretty certain i would never have gotten that
ugh. bad typing. qu5: "strange"
thanks, qwenski. i had that qu5 but didn't think to add to it
qu + radio personality Howard St***
I like how the U word is a word, but if you click the question mark it says "no entry found." How does that work?
okay, need to wander away for a while... bbl
by the way elph, I love the name and the icon

Bye nrkii

hey pass me a rumandcoke man
probably the kola nut...arrgggggggh
no rum and coke here, no likee rum and coke
nah - can. yoohoo and little chooclate donuts
drinking rumandcocacola
so is this a fun game?
course spiral!
owl - anything but where i can actually see the yoohoo
I usually play psychobabble, but I don't know about this game
at least the people are fun
it's fun if you like word games, some of us also enjoy the lively chat!
lol spiral
wait - i'm talking to people?
I need a picture. This default looks nothing like me
spiralox, the best resource is Angelsong's (link at the bottom of the page), which explains the rules and has links to lots of helpful sites.
Welcome to babbleland spiralox
you need to go pro spiral
LOL evan
ok nevermind
I guess I'm a grey man's head
thank you everyone!
:)
ha! down to 70...
so you want me to beg eh...ok te 7 peese...or you can walk the plank!
I'm micheal jackson before he puts his face parts on
21 left here...like wading in mud tonight....qu5/16 anyone please
bye for now, everyone! see you later...tbear it is really nice that you are back
did i miss the te 7 ?
go sean go!
te7/28 - like a misspelled receptacle for soup
thank you vic!
LOL spiralox
that's like something to grind grains in... like the regal word, but change the fourth letter to a consonant
qu5/16 - hand mill, rhymes with the ea for getting a paycheck
thanks vic..nice clue
thanks vi!
great clues (as usual) Vi, thanks.
so sure i MUST have monkeyed that before vic....nice clue tho'
Can anyone please give me a clue for the te5/12 and te5/10 immediately following the te6/21. I'm assuming htey're related? But maybe that's part of my problem?
CE 6/24 please? It's the last C I need...
ce6/24 - night-blooming plant, sounds like "You can't be se------!"
sounds like john macenroe...you cannot be ce 5/24
te5/12: indian dwelling
Thanks, gwenski. I looked at that a hundred times and thought it had to have 4 e's. Serves me right for assuming ANYTHING where enable's involved!
thanks for the CE, done with that letter now! :-)
Vi, they are NOT related. The first is an Indian tent and the second is withoit defn--looks like latin for eareth minus one of the t's
siorry-0that should have beeen on eof the "r's!
Thanks, hetty!
please could anyone help with thept
pt9
I'll try again Vi.For te5/10 take latin for "earth", take away on eof the hoo0ks, and add a third vowel
from an earlier clue: p + Miss Hatcher + to eat
pt9 - starts like prehistoric flying reptile, ends like the io6/21 chemical
pt 9 looks prehistoric...start with a type of flying reptile (5 letters), change the o to another vowel and end with the four letter word meaning "to eat"
Th pt is a real dilly,add a wor beginning with the second vowel that looks as if it has something to do wth being learned, except a third vowel reolaces the fifth one and it ends in a hook instead of a cross before the final second vowel
hetty, following that clue I think I just did a fancy ritual that absolves me of my sins... LOL
lol stid
Stiud has an excelent clue. I couodn't think what the prehistoric crteature was
All those hooks and crosses will do it, eh, stidmama!
crteature???LOL
as long as the ritual was prehistoric, Stid
i am lost....sorry
DI 6/21 please?
it's okay droman... we're all a bit scattered today, it seems!
di6/21 - Spanish money
di6/21 simply adds a third vowel to one who eats
Add a vwel to di5/12
Its money stid. Good mornig everyone.
AND THIS TIME N MY FINGERS WORKED
hello lynxxx
thanks hetty and caitlyn... and lynxxx! good morning and I got it!
Mornng lynxxx
think of 6/21 as the actor Robert D*****
Yw stid
just spelled a little different
So quit making fun of my typos, cait
thanks also ronnielee!
yw stidmama, glad to help out for a change rather then just receiving clues from everyone
Cathyr gave an excellent clue for the PT = Almost a boys name + I ate. We were all most impressed.
OK cough is getting worse.... better go andget that hot toddy(any excuse) catch you all tomorrow..happy babbling all ..bye

phew 9 to go...never thought i would get this far tonight!
the vowel words are always the worst ... any clues for the or/4?
I must have confused the babble board. It let me enter the same word twice! 8)
I agree - so I can't help!
Hi everybody!
hello mr tall
i just upped myself to pro yesterday after a long disappearaence from the babble boards ... it's funny what a different game it is with the stats.
Hello
congrats elphaba
thx evan
or 4 sounds like a an individual's energy field, or au**
or4.4 uses a double cons
howdy, all
anyone with pe6/24 please
it may be simple, but I'm just not seeing the oi5. Help?
i can't see past pernod!
There are lots of pe6/24. Which one?
there is lots of pe6.24 - do you know which one seano ?
ty jen and lynx!
seano - i keep seeing that too
yw :)
sorry lynxxx the last of the pe6,24's... also the last 6/21 if you have it
pe6.24 - a pe**** of time
oi 5 is a lot of vowels with a D in the middle
I've only got 3 left... clues please? pe 5/14, re 5/12, and ce 5/12. I'm sure they're easy, but I'm just not seeing/monkeying them!
<blushes> it's all the stupid words i have typed in, i forgot to switch to ''real word'' mode again
thanks Nef, that did it.
the pa6.21 - think of the sth american (?) ex leader who had a wife Eva. Uses double cons.
lmj, pe 5/14: we could use a little p**** and quiet
good clue lynxxx thanks a bundle for both of them
oops, sorry, that was for Imustudents
thanks jen! i thought i tried that one! two to go!
ce5/12: breakfast food minus last consonant.
(or at least, it sounds like it)
that doesn't work, gwenski (if you mean frosted flakes, etc.)
substitute one of the vowels, lum
i cannot see how there's an or/5 possibility i haven't tried! grr!
hi everybody, down to 12 and i'm stuck!
elphaba, o + what you do with a book
fran - guess there was one. :) thx!
that means she'll be finished in 3 minutes folks! (Hi Fran)
yw elphaba!
hi lynxxx!
you're overestimating my monkeys lynxxx! lol

i wasn't born in august either....but my wife was!!
a good clue earlier was 'the garden of edens tempter', just swap the first letter

lyn thank you ...got it now
the garden of eden clue is for the pe7 3/6
?
yes debbinla (if that was a question)

it tempted adam and eve with the apple....just change the beginning

Greetings, folks!
Refresh to see my new icon. (Felt guilty about not getting the grass cut yet.)
chixie, welcome back
what does it mean when you say 6/37?
ello chic
Fran, don't get your clue for the U
april, 6 is how many letters and 37 is how many points it's worth, although it could never be 37.
Hey Nut, hi debb!
check out angelsongs link at the bottom april
us5: add beginning of 'not king'
or us + a line for a movie
hi chic!
Also need ri5 and last re5/12
Hi ya, Fran!
Got ri5 after I asked for clue
thanks, babble looks different than the last time I played
still waiting for that re5/12 also gwen
oooh, can you clue it qwen?
Hi...any clue for the TE 7 would be appreciated.
ri + picnic pest debb.
oop - i got it too
Add picnic pest to ri
thanks fran!
so TE 7 means a seven point word beginning with TE?
that's right april.
thanks Fran
scratch that, 7 letter word starting with TE
kkiln, it sounds like a soup receptacle te + double cons.+ double vowel + cons.
TE7 is a seven-letter word. It's worth more points than 7
ar5,10 please??
thanks jen!
bean, ar 4/4 + vowel
yw :)
bean, it's the latin plural of the ar4/4
these pr's are killing me -- curses!
I'm begging now. 5 words to go and I need to cut the grass today before my hubby's triple-bypass surgery on Tuesday. re5/12, 2nd to5/10, to6/27, to7/44, to7/40.
Thanks Jen --- just did not succeed in monkeying it.
Hi Fran - great score yesterday in WB!
thanks muse!
thanks...got it
my only star! :-(
what about ar5,12
second to5/10 is the to4/4 with the last vowel doubled.
how about the re 8 while i'm waiting on a posting?
you'll be getting more as soon as you get the hang of it
bean, change the second to last letter in the 5/10
re8: to make money again.
Thanks, Fran. 4 to go

hey friends!
phantom tenacious
Well, then, Fran, I will never find it

there's another babbler who's husband gets up early and does some of the grid sometimes, she calls him her babble fairy.
thats cute!
gotta run and program my son's new Migo
later klaurel? what's a migo?
no fairy here
i was going to ask the same thing!
a beginner cell phone, Fran. it is green and you program in 5 numbers
I should print the list out - would make it much easier on you lovely people
oh yes, didn't know what they were called.
"A Migo" - sounds like "A Friend"!!!!
later then klaurel!
darn husband, why can't he do it?
i'm sure that didn't get past the marketing people mamabear.
klaurel, that would involve reading instructions.
lol
is everybody done with this grid?
not me mama
i'm done mama.
I see there are 3 o's and I don't have any.....
Evening all. I'm not at home and so have not long arrived. Using someone else's computer.

although i swore that i'd never ask a clue for a 5 letter word, i've been monkeying 2 for over an hour -- so can anoyine clue me to the pe 5/12 right after what i'd like to eat on a pizza right now?
jen that sounds like fun!

Hi, does anyone have a clue for pe6/24 and 7/36 - the last two pe words please
I was thinking of cutting the country to U.S. to save space
yes, bubba, it may load faster that way. :-)
hey Mama....it's me d'other bear....how are you?
hi, flosey! the pe 7 rhymes with the garden of eden villan
last pe6/24 is a punctuation mark
then, do you mean the 6/21 (the last pe word)?
the last pe is a pe6/21, think evita and juan (argentinian dictator)
no, sorry, the pe624 and pe736, not the last one
those two clues should do it, then :)
tbear, mamabear is printing her list, will be right back

it s something you put on izza, diff. spelling
pe 8 is a pizza topping (a type of sausage) without the usual double letter in the middle
*pizza

Gilly kissed him and handed him a cup of strong tea.
laced with vodka?
*paul should shave off that beard soon, yes?*
John's son wandered in and climbed up on a chair next to Paul. He studied him closely.
*or at least trim it neatly*
His pudgy hands took Paul's face and turned it this way and that. Suddenly, he grabbed the beard and pulled.
*lol*
*that should do it!*
Paul roared
with laughter, and Gilly giggled from the stove.
lol
*i thought that a few chapters ago, he should b4 that kinda thing happened lol*
John rushed in with Anna close behind.
roar
"What is the commotion?"
*oops...sorry just saw a word and forgot to switch* (shh)
Paul and his grandson looked at each other and laughed again.
*stidmama made me do it...she used the past tense of the word in the story ;)* sorry again
Standing, Paul picked up the boy and said, "We are going out to check the horse and donkey. Back in a few."
Anna shook her head. "Mother, what did Gray do to make Father laugh so loud?"
"Oh," replied Gilly pouring out two more cups of tea, "He pulled on that awful beard." And she smiled sweetly, "It will have to come off!"
*yay!!!*
YAY Gilly!
clean the man up !!! ;)
John was at the stove, flipping the pancakes when Nan came back with the syrup. Olivia, John's daughter was on her mother's lap next to the baby who babbled happily.

*'tis a very smart baby to know so many words so quickly & have the fine motor skills to type*

lol!!
te 9 = paint remover beginning and robot ending
* I could ushe that hint too, hic
Andy came in with Polly, Meg and Doris, arguing loudly about who got to play with their nephew and niece after breakfast.
thanks, nrkii - got it
*whispers bk to ping...i still have 95 left...don't think i can be of much help*....* waiting to see if paul's beard gets snipped*
oh, I had it, dang
*asks* which one is Andy?? one of the twins??
One of the oldies, I think, EB
excuse me, whispering very softly so as not to be intrusive...does anyone have any of the pr7 words?
thanks jilli....
sorry Jee - not doing the grid...just here for storytime!!
jee, before + penny
thanks nrkii...
then before + big bad fight with lots of people
*ty nrkii...i needed that too*
Anna stood up and handed Amy to Polly. "I need to go freshen this one up," she indicated the baby, "Will you make sure she gets enough milk? she doesn't usually take as much as I like."
94 now
last one is same as first, but change second-to-last cons
then change the 2nd to last letter to a hook letter
*whipers* I only have one - the "before" pr* + hubbub
that's all three of them clued now
got them, thanks
there's the green semi precious jewel too
Sorry -- Andy is the youngest brother. I gave names and was going to explain as I go along...
yes, there are two pe 7 if anyone needs them
lbd, my birthstone!

oops that's a pe not a pr...*blush*
stid - no problem...I was just trying to place them all...thanks!
ce6 please? (sorry, no Latin spoken here....)
nrkii - mine too!!
I need the other one, if Ican think staraight or type straight
it's a pretty stone! i have one, but it's not my birthstone.
ah, nope - the monkeys found it.
ce6 = sounds like having no sense of humor
*too much wine during story time for jill?*
Polly, the eldest of the three sisters, sat down with Amy and offered her a piece of pancake.
obviously I can't
charm, it sounds like the star in orion.
thanks, nrkii-good clue!
nrkii, i had that one, but your clue is funny!
*cedull?
*mmmm..pancakes...think i'll do some for breakie tomorrow...son loves em*
Meg, the comfortable daughter with green eyes, harumphed and grabbed some plates from the cupboard.
*shoot...brb...doggie hasta pee*
*wonders what time she should show up at Cathy's for breakie* 8 )
EB love your pic, grape nehi?
*rushes bk so as not to miss part of story*
how about the pe5/12 after the pe8/50 please?
only about an 8 hour drive for those pancakes, EB
lb - yup...I don't drink much soda...every once in awhile I have grape, orange or root beer (floats)....
Ping, you around?
*lol...long trip EB but it'll be 9 a.m. atlantic*
yes, nrkii - 4 more to go
pe + rhyme or ***son
*pancakes...bacon...champagne N oj...just plain oj for the kids*
Owain and Otto bounded up the back stairs and through the doors. Their voices were raucous and hoarse. Johnpushed them and Andy out the door. "Come on guys, let's help Father so he can have his pancakes sooner."
ooh, lemme know how I can help you finish... I have a question for you but don't want to interrupt the story, so was going to check if you could IM me...
reprod is a word, IT IS
ping - you never answered me - who is your brother?
interrupt if you like, i need the thinking time today.
oh, sorry, hk - am engrossed - my brother is my brother!
OO -are th OOs the twins?
thanks bubba, I don't have it yet, but will keep trying.
*looking at Cathy's profile & thinking* I've never been to NS....
what do you mean by that?
Stid - yopu're heroic -- somebody said you're sick????
*cathy LOVES company EB*
nrkii, almost done!
ping - you said we had the same birthday - so i assumed you meant the babble birthday & that he was a babbler too - or is that just way too much assuming?
yes, not fully here today, I am afraid.
you can ***son it out, then add the pe in front
oh, no, i meant feb 18 bday, hk - my brother is an ironman though
*ping's been hiding*
sorry - stumped on my last for Ts
*stidmama's a bit under the weather....and takin car of her stidkid who was also quite ill*
sorry to hear you don't feel well stid
*hands stidmama another cuppa tea*

hk, but he'd never be able to babble - not his thang
thanks all, okay. on with the story.

ah-ha - a weakness!
*aw, is it stidgrant or stidmatt? Stidmama, I repeat -- you're heroic and give him {{{{stidhugs}}}} and some for u2

*stidgrant was ailing i believe*
*I second the stid hugs*

*hi feather*
hi feather

I was peeking in earlier, and was on my friend's account who was trying this out. i typed 3 different messages, none of which showed up!

*3rd'd {{{hugs}}} here
you're not the only who's had that happen today, feather.

ce + Ave Ma***
yes ping I did
bless you nrkii
hang on, will redo the te 7 clue...
it's happened to me b4 too...i thought y'all were ingoring me er sumthin...whewf...now i know better! ;)
feather - inge had the same problem - maybe next time you see her you can tell her that & make her feel better
ping...someone earlier said like a soup dish misspelled
lol cath
take the te5 earth word, and replace the last vowel with a double-vowel-cons combo
hmf - mee too, maybe
and yeah, what jee said too
Gilly served up pancakes and added a couple of sausages to plates. Doris, her red-headed daughter, made a face and grumbled, "Nothing's too good for John," under her breath.
ok, testing...
oh, so before when I put in a note asking you to all tell me how pretty and smart I am, you weren't just ignoring me?
hi nad
yay! (it's feather)
you're beautiful and a genius nrkii!
thanks, nrkii - got it!
Hi feather! ooh i think Doris feels a little sibling rivalry!
yay, thanks feather! :)
feather - in cognito - aha!
*hey nad...how goes it?*
nrkii, you are a brilliant beautiful woman!!!!
may i have a clue for the re5 after i give up my evil ways?
feather---and her evil twin ;-)
But Gilly heard. Surprised, she set the plates down and turned to her daughter. Polly quietly picked up Amy and took her into the back yard to play.
i think i'll play with entering some words with her account...i know she's gone to bed, and i don't feel like messing up my score.
feather's alter ego (he he he)
which re5?
"mwahaha"
Meg followed, muttering something about fetching the "menfolk."
re: 1st one, summarize
re5 = tell again, not the original, and showed on tv again
*menfolk...yep...they're a diff breed from the strength of a woman * ;)
2nd re: hmmm, not sure how to clue it...like go back again change middle letter
Gilly smoothed her apron and poured a cup of tea for herself. She sat down next to Doris and frowned.
3rd re: raced again
*sorry babble guys...i just got that old "men r crap" thing happenin lately*.
uhoh...Gilly isn't too pleased with some attitudes!
Doris squirmed uncomfortably.
ping, how ya doing?
cath - remember - keep the faith - I wish my old man were still here
Cathy, gotta kiss a lotta toads to find the prince in the pack. (((hugs)))
*sorry jill...but i think some of us are not meant to be "hooked up" with someone*
i have 3 TO words left - near the bottom of that list
Gilly sipped her tea reflectively. Doris squirmed some more.
there are big ups and downs, cath, but worth it
nriki - a to 6 and two to 7s
*kinda like cathy in the story...she's single too methinks*
to 6 27 = twist (often used to describe engines)
Ping do you have to really really heavy rain one? to7/28
*single, old maid...dat'd be moi*
yes LB but thanks
Gilly pulled a plate toward them. Silently, she poured syrup on the pancakes, and some on the sausages.
BS cath
there are two to 7's that go off the to6 twist word
hi nrkii...just read about your Radio City adventure...great job..I left a little remembrance of my one and only visit to Radio City

OOOOH Cath Quevec maple syrup is the BEST!!!!

no wonder
congrats TO!
grrrr
shoot
it's a blog question
I am still stuck on the re5/12...and clues so I can finish up? thanks...
Doris looked guiltily at her mother.
I'm trying to figure out about copyright issues vis a vis blogging...
ssshhhh!
mee too stid...we LOVE storytime!!!
*thanks stidmama in advance for this 'chapter' and mamabear for the snuggles...(whispers)* hubby is ready to watch the movie....I'll catch the rest in the morning...nightie night all!! {{{{{{{{{{{all}}}}}}}}}}}}}
re 5/12 is re + not amateur
re5/12 = re***bate.
night eb!!!
later, EB.
thanks, now I will be quiet.
night EB enjoy your time with hubby and the movie
shees nrkii...don't even go there...
see ya eb
nrkii, some people use creative commons (org) for the copyright
*{{{hugs EB nite nite}}}
nite eb :)
*winks* 9:00 Cathy...for the pancakes!! 8 )
i just post a copyright claim on the blog - nothing fancy
*i'll have the grill heating EB* {{{winks bk}}}
okay, will look at that... two issues really: 1) restrictions on putting other people's stuff on my blog and 2) protections if I decide to put my own work up on my blog
i have 2 Q words, "odd" and "odder"....hint on the third?
nrkii are you in MA?
I'll check that, thanks ping!
come on, guys - stid's telling a story and not feeling well
"Doris, you are right. Nothing is too good for John." She looked gently at her daughter, "And nothing is too good for you."
nad, qu + radio host howard st***
I 2nd that Jill baby
nrkii??
nrkii, i've been pretty lax about number 1 - i never diss anybody's work and i just hope that they will appreciate praise without profit on my side
we ARE paying attention to the story totally tho...even if we chat between paragraphs.
"All of my children are important to me. When John comes home after several months, it gives me pleasure to fix something special for all of us."
ummmm, sorry, but I really needed ping's advice on this -- I tried to keep it brief -- meanwhile, others are still looking for clues, so let's not discourage that -- but I'll shut up about the other stuff now
or new england?
asculptor, used to be in MA, yes...
now in NJ... why, do I know you?
stid isn't looking for profit...she entertains us and we are enthralled
hmm. think so
down to 4 8-letter words, in8,40 - an8,40 - pe8,50 and re8,45 ---Clues pleeeeeze!!!
i will give you a clue!
Thomas
cathyar, I love stid's story as well
uh oh
Thomas
Thomas Tommy Todd
Hi all. How's the grid?
of which I am none
Doris gulped and looked at her mother.
nrkii, 2 is a little trickier - because truly anthing you post is so easily lifted by virtually anybody - probably a lawyer would say don't post it if you are concerned about theft
evil wicked mean and nasty angb
kind of slow angb
angb - a killer!
:0
asculptor, where are you?
Oh goody!
that would give it away
well shoot, I need another hint to narrow it down...
Jeanne Jeanie Jean?
I got that...
but are you my cousin, my aunt, or another person?
:)
oh fun - small world syndrome strikes babble-land
stid just likes to entertain us...is that right stidmama? i don't really think she's lookin to worry about copyright...although...perhaps...her stuff is good enough it could easily be embellished/slightly changed and not be considered stolen.
Meg came back through the door, her nephew in tow. "They're coming, Mother."
helen, absolutely, and it's FREAKING me out!
LOL!!!
c o u s i n
:)
wonder if Paul shaved whilst he was away?
cathy, i think nrkii was thinking of her own blog maybe
yes, nad, i was
well, I have 31 to go and have been holding off in order to let stid tell her story but...
o. m. g. finally. any clues before the brain gives out today?
Gilly stood up and patted Doris on the back. "Finish up, dear, the boys will need all the room they can get."
okay, Amy, Sam, Ali?
cathy - the copyright questions were about nrkii's blog, not stid's story
(nrkii, it's me, feather!!!)
yay charm!!!!
feather, of course, I forgot! :)
yay charm!!!
oh...sorry...well...similarities apply tho!
Amy!
lol
wow, everyone, my cousin, who I have not seen in ... ummm.... 20 years? (over half our lives) is here!
hello nrkii's cousin!
welcome nrkii's cousin!!!
*i just feel a little protective of stidmama(
We grew up Big Boggle freaks at our house...you guys too?
clues for last 4 please!! re8,45 - pe8,50 - in8,40 and an8,40
And Gilly finished serving out as the boys and men tucked in to their meal. Anna, Gilly, Polly and Meg snagged plates and went to sit in the front room where it was quieter.
hi cousin of nrk!
so do I
scrabble!
*not like she needs me to be, but...well...best interests for good friends is all*
welcome nrkii cousin
pe 8/50 - pizza topping
this is weird -- remember our stidcousin showed up earlier this week too!
re 8/45 - made $$$ again, in the past
welcome nrkii's cousin who picked a bad time as far as stid is concerned!
Hi, nice to be a cousin of famous blogger nrkii

Stid thinks it's a fine time, Jill! family comes first!

good nite charm
and famous quote puzzler!
Thanks, only 1 left in8.40
night charm
in 8/40 = in + er6/18
mea culpa -- this is a community first,a agame second, storytime third, I guess - but it's hard for a gifted storyteller to be interrupted so much, I'm sure
I keep doing this late at night and then getting too sleepy to get close to finishing. Kids try to shout out words over my shoulder! Mom, type in Querdape, that's a word!"
in + er 6/18
okay stid, I PROMISE I'll be quiet now except to clue
lol asc!
except to say, amy, go pro on babble! it's the best!
stid's always said she doesn't mind the interruptions
thank you, thank you everyone. I was about ready to give up, but I got through with a little help from my friends. ********
oh, my, didn't mean to interrupt story time. Please, continue
Renfield, I love your Icon!!!!****####*****
Doris joined them and sat quietly while the others visited. Nan stayed in the kitchen, enjoying the lively banter, and vying with Andy for the last few sausagees.
*but those of snuggled down with our blankies get restless*
it really really is okay, asculptor et al! I am having trouble thinking what should come next.
we can still follow the story, so long as stid keeps writing as long as she is willing/able/ready to do so ...and we (i speak for me and i think jill too and many others) are always wanting to follow along...chat or no...cluing or no... this page is babble and we can babble on what we wish...listen to what we wish...shut out what we wish...lots of us wish for stidmama's story...always
rumple! when did you get here? I missed your entrance!
asculptor, would love to catch up though... I hear all good things about you
thanks cathyar, I agree
babbling in the babble log, Cathy? LOL
me too - don't mean to be a scold :(
lol stid
jilli, it's just the bubbly talking, I don't mind LOL :)
me neither...stid no...not babbling...just spewing what i think is right...we LOVE the story!!!
nrkii, none are true, alas. write to me at AOL with same prefix id and I will catch you up...you seem to be the one with all of the kudos!
ren...a fit grog for a pirate
As soon as breakfast was cleared, John and Anna pulled out the gifts they had brought and walked next door to visit Grammy and Grampy with their children.
ok, clues? I have 31 to go in 1+hours -- how about ap7/36?
argggg me beauty

jilli, putting a bib thing over your clothes to cook, past tense
86 left here...i'm here for stidmama's story only at this point.

LOL stid! But the beach swin was lovely and warm, and the story was (is) worth not finishing
stili - ye a mighty looker corsair ye self !
horrible as is and as a soda.
*swim
mab, brussel sprout soda would be quite bad, I imagine
brussels sprouts soda??? Ugh!!!
juice it mab!
asculptor, just emailed you :)
Gilly shooed the youngest five out the door for school, and then joined Paul in the barn where he was checking the harnesses and tack.
jill???
i love brussel sprouts
yech
*thinks she misunderstood*
Owain and Otto were up in the loft, rearranging the bales so they would be easier to throw down. Gilly called up to them.
my daughter was mixing ginerale , sprite and smashed watermelon earlier with a plastic pixie stix earlier...I didn't try it. Yuck.
Actually, says the pedant, brussels sprouts can only be good if touched by a frost before picking - then they're sweet -- I know, havong lived in frosty Quebec
not bad, 73 words in about a half hour...well, actually my friend nadine got some of them first. i'm stopping here, see you all tomorrow as myself!

She stroked his beard -- "and when you come back, let's do something about this before any other grandchildren decide to test it."

*that's it for today*
LOL...paul's gonna lose the beard...finally!!:)
hope you feel better soon stid :)
don't blame ya ...full moon comin stidmama...people are not their usual selves it seems
Cath - what do you think of Paul's wife?
good story Stid, even better considering your under the weather.
hey stid! i just caught up on the parts i missed, this is getting interesting...or more interesting i should say.
hmm...Gilly???? I think she may perhaps be far too forgiving of him, but it's hard to say since paul has such a history with the family
thanks for the story stid
thanks helen -- i will feel better tomorrow.
she's strong for sure to bring up all those children alone!!!
thanks also Fran!
get some rest now Stid. summer colds are the pits!

Thanks so much, stid! Tough going tonight -- storytelling and grid-conquering and feeling crappy too. Please get better soon and give my stidgrant a special hug please - neat kid
u jill???what do u think of Gilly?
te7,28, pls
nrkii...i just peeked at your profile, surprised to see we were same age. I thought you were Todd's age?
(lol...isn't she named after u???as cathy is after me?)
or am i misunderstanding?
what year did you graduate high school?
Is Gilly Paul's wife? If so, she's a WHOLE lot more tolerant than I ever was! (I need a Dramatis Personae, and some more BabAnon time)
Todd "Hawk" is getting married in 3 weeks!
bubba - sounds like what your serve soup in during a di*** party
asculptor, I'm a year younger than you... just turned 38 3 days ago
Happy Belated Birthday!!
thanks!... graduated in 1986 btw
yes...she is...very tolerant...man runs off on me for 10 years...and leaves me with all those kids to raise alone??? i'd be SOOOO TOTALLY unforgiving...but back then...life was simpler i guess
20th reunion this year
I have a plan called "Fabulous at Forty" in the works...it's 16 months away, but it's not going so well
I have a plan called "Fabulous at Forty" in the works...it's 16 months away, but it's not going so well
uncle
te 6/21?
Sounds good though
nrkii..are you gonna stop at 39 like Jack Benny?
Asculptor -- sorry if I was rude but time was running out for stid and her story -- very much welcome to Babblemania!
but harder too at the same time...i'd still be pretty unforgiving tho i think...even with the family history paul has with grammy and gramps
I heard about Todd... my mom told me
chj, nah, I don't mind the years
turning 30 was great, so I think I'll be fine with 40
number after nine plus a button on a tape recorder
It's not good! I didn't mind either until this year
50 rocks
ty
re 6/21? the last
I had a better idea than Jack Benny -- get to 39 and count backwards. That way I don't think I've quite been born yet, but I don't do math - lol
is that word in here again tonite chj???? it was also in yesterday's grid!!!
50 carats rocks more
helen, to look at a book again
started creaking, veiny legs, nose hair, hair on head falling out, can't see, etc.!
re + what you use a book for
cathy, yep several repeaters from yesterday
You must have gotten all the good genetics.
omg - it IS me!!!!
asculptor, LOL!!
Dr God...turning into Dr. Evil to do that horrid word again ;) lol
I did start an exercise class, sniff.
is that a request for a proposal ren?
lol!
nah, I'm just still as ridiculous as I was when I was 16, so why sweat it?
:)
:)
pe 7/36? the last
what am i doing that makes my things go twice?
renfield, any other clue for te7,28 -- mental block
maybe hitting return twice?
pe7/36 each + caged up
sometimes the chat gets stuck, and you think you didn't hit return right, and so you hit it again
i thought you guys were taking about what rocks!
maybe...it's late and I type badly when i am tired. I will try not to announce desperate plans to stop aging more than once!
bubba, 4 letters from previous word, plus colour gr***

tr double consonant double vowel + a consonant startin the top let
ty
bubba, take the te 5 earth word, and replace the last letter with double-vowel and then cons.
exactly, nrkii!!!! Sorry about that!
errrr//that should be "te double consonant double vowel + a consonant startin the top left
the chat box is slow...be patient and only hit ENTER once everybody
ooh, sticky chat
i'm slow - i know, but even so....
I still think that 10:42 comment about Jack Benny was pertinent
nothin sexier than a slow blonde
jilli, it was a good comment, and a good strategy
ty, nrk
lol chj!
total freeze-out there
odd...past couple nights...as soon as stidmama leaves and story is done...my internet explorer freezes up!!!
yeah - i had to get out
now I'm going to get supper. No time to finish this horror -- good luck all -- see you at fliptime or while supper cooks
bye jili
does that mean that at age 60 (39-21 =18) you'll get zits again
has anyone experienced probs w/ the firefox upgrade?
bye jilli...late supper for u!!!
too lazy to open lickety, i think i needed the last ar word
helen, do you have the ar6/18 that rhymes with what your elbow is?
ar + vaseline is an ****ment
bye jilli!
too lazy to open lickety??? I don't know how you do without it (him)
ar + a meical cream - the ment
ar + medical cream - the last syllable
i have ren - i switched back to the older version
is ping still here?
FIREWORDS!
yay helen
got it, a little slow perhap, but persistent
firewords...like arson?
yay helen!!!!
yay helen!!!!
you can join me in the i'm slow i know club bubba
so we should say yay pyros now!
ty. ty.ty .........finally
self-awareness is an admirable trait
i tried that word sandwich that ping suggested, it's fun!
most of the time i really enjoy looking for the last few (almost as much as getting the first bunch really fast) but today was horrible - stuck on the last 7 for eternity
it was a tough grid helen!
YAY HELEN!
wow - already 11 pm
my worry about word sandwich is that it doesn't END... I might get sucked into a word sandwich vortex
i don't want to think about foods i don't like
you're not kidding nrk! you can play over and over and over again! not good for obsessive types. or competitive types.
i don't remember the princess bride - but i don't hink i liked it
fran - sound fun - where is it?
pe7,36pls
helen, are you kidding???
http://www.wordsandwich.com/
mandy is in the princess bride!
let me look it up
wow helen, the princess bride was incredible, I'm sorry you don't remember it well
helen, that's almost as hard to believe as me not reading any HP!
bubba, august birthstone
thanks, nrkii
FranMag, I updated my bio
cool bubba!
i'm so honored to be mentioned in someone's profile!
I figured just cut to the chase, nothing extraneous
oh, I though maybe bubba was always forgetting to greet you fran, and so put that there for you to read anytime you felt slighted
no nrk, it's because i'm always teasing about bubba giving away too much in the profile.
if anyone sees me on this chat more than 1/2 an hour past the flip, would you please remind me to go to sleep
okay chj.

I have been meaning to check that one out
theme tomorrow is foods we hate?

hi flask and nrkii!
Anyone been to Lenox, Mass?
clues please for both pe7's
I might have gone to an old graveyard there once on a field trip....
pe7 = ****winkle (fellow babbler) + small speck is a ***
No but ive been to sunday mass
flask, both were clued below
I'm going there for vacation, don't know much about it, but a few people recommended it highly
great clue my
bubba, yes, I grew up only an hour away from Lenox
it's wonderful esp in summer
where are you going?
yes but I do not understand either clues....am really sorry!
pe + re6/21 but delete the e after r
Blantyre in Lenox
no worries, see added clues just below
ohhhh, blantyre
nice???
very cool big awesome hotel on hill
are you going to Tanglewood to hear Boston Symphony while you're there?
whats to do??
do you golf?
go to old graveyard for rubbings?
do you like spa stuff?
oh asculptor, where's the old graveyard?
never been there
I don't think so, we have a bunch of dinner plans, some day stuff including a couple of golf games. As you can see I don't make the itinerary.
pe7 = ****winkle (fellow babbler) + you must *** your i's
for arts stuff: Tanglewood, Shakespeare in the Park (I think) and Norman Rockwell museum
I don't remember....sorry. We went on a field trip I think in elementary school and rubbed some crayons on paper over the old stones. It was cool and creepy at the same time.
there may be an Edith Wharton museum near there too, but I may be making that up
not really a spa person, I will get a facial, but thats about it.
nrkii - those scores = # of tries to get word & average # of tries to get word - but clearly no avg is given if you 'give up'
the other pe7 sounds like another word for snake, just replace the s with p
yeah, james levine is one marvelous conductor..he has done wonders for the met for over 30 years and now hes recreating the boston symphony as a great orchestra
bubba, good places to go hiking nearby
beautiful lake nearby
flask - google this for 1st pe 7 A yellowish-green variety of olivine used as a gem.
flask - google this for 1st pe 7 A yellowish-green variety of olivine used as a gem
also bubba, if you can go to tanglewood, even if not for a concert but just during the day, it's very nice
i swear - i only hit it once
ren..you seem to be into gems tonight
I haven't been to Lenox in years, so not sure what the shopping or restaurant situation is
the hotel you'll be at is not in the center of town, so you'll need to drive for most things
except maybe golf
yes..at tanglewood you can enjoy the concerts from the lawn outside
flask did you get those?
Great, it sounds like a pleasant place for a wek. I will see you all when I return for vacation. Hopefully rested and a lot sharper then I was on this grid. Thanks for all the help and good night.
arrgggh n what else would pirates be lovin me matey?
i hope youve hidden them well...with a map so you can find them later
lol chj....hmmmmm good idea!
Hi all. I've been struggling and still have 9 words left. could anyone help with my last 9?
flask?

oh flask????
re6/24...and re6/18 please
I need to 7/40 and to7/44
Thanks ren....found the other pe7
re6/24 is past tense of 434/5
to7's based on to6/27 a twisting force
its the past tense of what???
re6/18 re + you have to **** your keep
past tense of re4/5 before it
re 6/24 is you re** what you sow; past tense
to + beginning of ?
Thanks CHJ; now 7 left
insert an r before the ?

and 17 mins
another re6/21 means lately
re + penny

I also need the last re word; re 6/21
or5??
the 3rd re6/21 means to fee remorse
feel
or 5 is o plus what you do to a bood
re + what you do with a book for last 6/21
book
how many words tonight? (i'm never gonna make it, but still...)
183
oh bored, there are 183, and it's a slow grid
Any help for te6/21 and te7/28?? Hopelessly stuck...
forget it.
te6/21 = number + train w***k
I have the time re6/21; the remorse re 6/21
and the Grim re 6/21; but the last re word is the 6/21 I can't find
te7/28 = t+ to *** is human + t***agers
ty muse!
oh drat i just dribbled plum juice all over...it was so big and juicy
nef I clued at ll:45
te6/21 was Mitch's icon yesterday--a furry creature who would be a wreck playing tennis
thanks Mymuse

and ar5/12
de/624
pe + opp of fake but drop the l
pe5/12 is what ducks do to their feathers\
pe + actor stephen *** from crying game
i'm putting me icon together
NVM (I said the wrong clue)
de6/24 add 2nd vowel and two diff consonants to the de4/6
make it worthy ren
pe5/12 adds the begining of r** as opposed to illusory to the pe
got that one -- ar 5/12 please?????
ar + anagram of high card
ty chj!!
ar5 a kind of palm tree
Finally got the te 7/28! Do you know how many times I tried that?
actually high card backwards
ar5/12 looks like what Archimedes shouted except for the "a" in place of "eu"
su 4/6 (I know that this is probaly a fish clue, right?
flask de4/6 add second vowel plus one hump conson, then more so for 2 different 6/24
its ab**** that you cant get this
su + 2 cons
past tense of you can *** for damages in court
su4/6 rhymes with"curd"
need another ar5/12.............
thanks Hetty and Annie What the heck does THAT mean?
4 left
ar + av*** as in prevent
ar5 you wear it in kitchen
pe7/36 please?
sorry thats ap

the other ar5/12 i like asteroid with a few letters missing
nef, its a irrational number as this clue is irrational, lol
pe7/36 = ****winkle + remember to *** your i's
*an
flask?
isn't that the pe7/32 my muse?
yes
still missing just that ar5/12...have all those you suggested
no that's pe7/36
No, nef, mymuse clued pe736
pe 7.36 pe + to pay penance but leave out first vowel
another pe7/36 sounds like another word for snake, just replace s with p
there are only 2 ar5/12's
i am liking that word sandwich game
you know the stranges thing here.....I have never completed a grid in a whole week.......since my 40yr old cousin was found dead last Saturday morning by his mother.......
ar5/12 - ar + vowel + waest coast state abv.
what word sandwich?
ar5/10 -- sorry
helen, have you been there since earlier?
There is ar5/10which is (latin) plural of ar4/4
add second vowel to the 4/4
ar + 3 vowels
wordsandwich.com - a game fran showed us
ar4/4 + vowel
thanks, mymuse, it was the snake one
flask, that's awful
lol fran - addictive is right - stubborn girl here!
pe 6/24
