12:32 am

is this game hard as hell or is it just really late?

12:32 am

It's late, AprilD :)

12:32 am

april - i vote for really late :)

12:33 am

And the game can be hard at times, especially if you're new to it.

12:33 am

only 19 words and I can't imagine there being any more!

12:33 am

yah, new here

12:33 am

april there are 180 words tonite

12:34 am

like I said andy, hard as hell

12:34 am

April if you go to one of the links that have "lists" you'll find a list for today's puzzle, that gives the first 2 letters of each word, plus the number of letters for each word, plus the score for each word.

12:34 am

welcome april then sonetimes it is as few as 60 words - somtimes can be 350 or so

12:34 am

I think so too, april, but I'm tired

12:35 am

12:35 am

http://p105.ezboard.com/bbabblersanony mous is the link for Babbler's Anonymous

12:41 am

this is my "two weddings and a funeral weekend" All the weddings are done, and the funeral. But I play for mass at 9:00 a.m. so I should quit soon. Just winding down from the last wedding.

take care, stid. I won't be on much tomorrow - another busy day, including Hetty's "birthday" lunch

1:24 am

1:24 am

oh fun, Jill! I hope you will all have fun! please give her a hug for me.

1:24 am

Aren't you feeling well, stidmama? :(

1:25 am

Don't know if I would be any kind of leader, but let's be honest, with Balkenende every change is an improvement.

1:25 am

haven't been, sprite, just a little virus -- I think Grant and I are on the mend, though.

1:26 am

good point sprite lol

1:26 am

(((stidmama))) Glad you are on the mend, both of you, stidmama.

1:28 am

thanks, sprite. I hope your husband will have a good vacation, and be able to enjoy some time with you and the kids.

TY lickety - hope you have enjoyed your weekend !

THanks! I just had a rare afternoon nap.

1:38 am

naps are good indeed

1:38 am

snap !

1:38 am

Good for you! You deserve some time to yourself :)

Yeah - every had one of those weeks where you miss so much sleep and it all catches up?

Every = Ever - Opps, any ways, now I gotta deal with that - Just woke up from an afternoon sleep feeling. ;-)

1:40 am

Glad it did for you. Take care :)

1:42 am

A least you rested up for this week - go get em!

Today's grid looks nice - I love the long ones

1:44 am

It is a real babblet grid today! Sofar I have seen the fog with chilly wind, the vulcano, the funny fence, Na4/4, To4/4 and the stupid X + man's name we had recently.

1:44 am

I think we are all a bit exhausted from yesterdays - it did go on - and on

1:45 am

i think i'll be glad to get back to work tomorrow.....

1:45 am

Yeah, yesterday's was slow going. This one is better.

1:45 am

holding you to that Sprite !

1:46 am

More than halfway already, so it's a given :)

1:49 am

have no doubt that you would 'sail through' Sprite - I was talking about me needing your help!

1:49 am

No you don't, lol... but I am always glad to help. Just yell :)

1:55 am

Another babblet: Ne4/4. Goes well with the fence. And there is Ar5/12: Ar + something you can wear on your head. And Ch6/24: switch vowels of 'to deceive, to not play by the rules' and add another vowel.

1:56 am

Those were bugging me, so I thought I'd share ;)

1:57 am

Yet another babblet: the statelike O4/5. Must be some record, so many babblets in one grid.

1:58 am

TY - although hadn't heard of the fence - or the chilly wind & fog before - so still to find

1:58 am

hi

1:59 am

lynxxx: you probably have seen them before. They are both Ha4.

2:01 am

hehe

2:01 am

Close, LOL!

2:02 am

my obtuse way of saying of course ! TY

2:04 am

And so very appropriate too :)

2:05 am

And the famous baby buffalo is a phantom word today.

2:05 am

gee u r nice!!!!

2:07 am

2:12 am

I really hope you won't let the word entering problem of the site stop you from chatting, broll. It is such a shame that a lousy part of the setup of the site keeps people from saying their things. I always enjoy your company.

2:13 am

ok, enlighten me, what is the famous baby buffalo?

2:13 am

Thanks, but it's more the slowness. And the lateness of the hour (after 3:00 a.m. here).

2:13 am

anoa

2:16 am

Almost the only babblet that isn't in the grid today, hehe.

2:17 am

see you later (if you haven't finished) - going to catch last hour of daylight

2:18 am

nite lynxx

2:18 am

Fireworks! Very nice one today. Bye lynxxx :)

2:19 am

what does "fireworks" comment mean?

2:19 am

congrats sprite!!!

2:20 am

fireworks means sprite has completed the grid!!

2:21 am

oh, ok...thanks for telling me, mva

2:22 am

Any clues needed before I leave?

2:23 am

clue for the 10, sprite?

2:23 am

clue for the x pls?

2:24 am

char

2:24 am

i5/10 (between, among) + Ch5/14 (put one after another)

2:24 am

oops!!

2:24 am

Good morning all. The x was in the grid two days ago! x plus Mr Clapton

2:25 am

sprite - I see what you mean about babblets!

2:25 am

aha! thanks, sprite

2:26 am

do i have the memory of a fish!! thanks haz!

2:26 am

All X's are Xe. We have: -direct effect on a hybrid plant produced by the transfer of pollen from one strain to the endosperm of a different strain - colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element found in minute quantities in the atmosphere - Of, characterized by, or adapted to an extremely dry habitat (the X + man's name one)

2:27 am

They are almost all there today, Haz, indeed!

2:33 am

Okay, I am off, packing to do and last chores to clear before leaving for the week. I'll see you all back on Friday. Have fun, happy hunting and be well!

2:33 am

Have a good time, sprite!

2:34 am

have a good time sprite!

2:36 am

2:38 am

Can you be more specific, please? It's not easy to clue when we don't know what you have, or what you're looking for.

2:38 am

Good morning Not doing the full grid today after yesterdays nightmare but have found 80 words today so have had my babble fix for the day

4:01 am

Hello Everyone

4:11 am

Evening all.

4:16 am

Morning all

4:17 am

Hi Frances

4:18 am

Very quiet here today!

4:18 am

Yep, must all be babbling I guess

4:20 am

hello - grid went down for a good half hour.

Morning all - how's the grid today?

4:26 am

Hi - great if you are an experienced Babbler or have a good memory - I'm struggling

4:27 am

Morning matty - interesting!!!

Interesting how, exacly....?

4:27 am

I thought yesterday's started better. Can't seem to get my head around this one.

4:28 am

Keep finding phantom words and not much more - 50 so far

Toughie today.

4:38 am

Glad that someone else is finding it. Got the list real early and found I had only 1 of some 12 an words! LOL.

That's one more than what I have - an word...hmmmm. I hate words that start with vowels...

4:39 am

Angb Thanks for that - I've only got two

4:39 am

ditto - and I don't seem to be better off even with the list

4:40 am

Have you every wondered whether someone may one day play a dastardly trick and give the wrong list?

4:40 am

i'm going to get the list now, not so much slow today as stopped!

Guffaw!

4:41 am

Morning MVA. Hard going. Refusing to look at lists yet

4:41 am

And the only dictionary I have is my 8 year olds school one. It has only on millionth (?) of the words in it.

I've got the 10 - any clues for the 9 and the (akkk) 7 eights?

4:42 am

Angb Because when you were at school there were so many words they didn't want you to know!

4:42 am

Oh sure. I'm still having problems finding any 4s!!!!

4:42 am

find a tr7.28 before you find the en matty

4:43 am

and you'll be able to hang that on an re as well

4:44 am

ch***** of fire

4:45 am

sorry - that last one was a seven. There is also some lemon 7s.

4:45 am

If you have a cr7/32 you can put another vowel in for a cr8/45

Still looking for the tr7/28 - I have a bunch of tr5, and managed to hang a en on one of those...

4:46 am

on your feet matty

Got it - you're a star (after having gone through sole, toe, arch, heel, trench foot, athlete's foot, metatarsel...)

4:47 am

lynxxx Got my Sunday morning head on - what are lemon 7s?

4:48 am

I can't say what I was going to - as that is a word - so shall say hehe (!)

4:49 am

5:41 am

5:41 am

lol fran

5:41 am

Hi folks. Still away from home and using someone else's computer. Just came in to get the grid. See you all later when I'm home. (Glad I wasn't here earlier from what I've seen!)

5:41 am

hi jac!

5:41 am

hi jac u havin fun?

5:41 am

Found 3 8 letter words without help, but could use help on that 9 & 10?

5:43 am

Good morning to those who've just joined. I got cramp and fortunately missed the lat

5:43 am

Good morning all. I read that you had your hands full this morning.

5:43 am

how many today?

5:43 am

last half hour of that

5:44 am

180 marso

5:44 am

cheers fran :)

5:44 am

marso 180 words

5:44 am

taner

The AN words are baffling me, as are the rest of the eights (I have one 8)

5:45 am

thanks matty! (for the 10)

5:46 am

Some days you need to be thick skinned to stay on here!!

5:46 am

matty, cr8/45 is an amino acid, another cr8/45 is the act of making something.

5:47 am

Didn't have those two 8s, thanks, Fran. :)

5:48 am

yw jencatd!

5:49 am

Call me Jen. It's what I usually get called on and offline. :)

5:50 am

okay jen!

Thanks Fran!

5:50 am

i have two more 8s, do you want clues for those?

BTW - have you worked out what food I hate?

Yes please, Fran!

Particularly the AN8/40

5:51 am

I see our friend was in the grid all along - cr6/21!

LOL!

5:51 am

XD!

5:51 am

ex8/65 is what you don't want to do too much of when you excercise.

5:51 am

spellit Now why didn't I see that one!!!

5:52 am

you guys are funny, this 'person' must have been pretty bad. :-)

Nice one, Fran - thanks again!

5:52 am

good one Spellit

5:52 am

re8/40 is something you pay an attorney to keep them at hand.

5:52 am

yw matty! alas i do not have the an8/40 yet, give me a couple minutes.

5:53 am

an8/40 - one who an6/18 the word before it

5:53 am

matty, an8/40 is one who an6/18s (bless with oil?)

That's it Fran and Candy - thanks!

5:54 am

tx Fran and spellit

5:54 am

i wanted to say something about the cr6 earlier, but didn't want to provoke it.

5:55 am

yw matty and inge!

5:55 am

matty Mushrooms?

Yep. I wanted to use Marmite, but I couldn't find a picture with a dragon and marmite.

5:56 am

Love marmite

5:56 am

FranMag - had I been near 'it' I would have set the dog free!!

You know that brown grease you get on the inside of the hinge of car doors...that's Marmite.

5:56 am

Oh but so tasty!!!!!!!!!

5:57 am

times like those you want to be able to reach into the chat log!!

5:57 am

is marmite like vegamite?

5:57 am

similar

5:57 am

vegimite is even nicer

5:57 am

I've never tasted marmite. An aussie friend of mine had a jar and I took a whiff. That was enough.

Yuck. It is, Fran. I'm sure Australians would say different, but to me, they are both absolutely vile. I think you have to grow up with it. Give me peanut butter and jam any day.

5:57 am

Good job I'm not easy to offend otherwise I might not have ever come back again

5:57 am

i had vegamite with green mangoes in Nauru when i was younger, yum!

5:58 am

Andree Depends where you're from I guess. Marmite does it for me

5:58 am

we aussies love our vegimite

5:58 am

We get marmite here, and I like it. ^^ Peanut butter and jam are good to, but not in the same sandwich.

5:58 am

*too

They are both equally as bad as the other. Terry Pratchett would have you believe that Vegemite was invented when someone in the outback tried to make beer soup...and left it for too long.

5:59 am

I don't think there is much difference, marmite has a meat base{ I think}

In the States, you can get peanut butter complete with grape jam stripes. My mum wouldn't buy it for me, though.

No - Bovril has a meat base. Marmite is yeast.

5:59 am

jen, now that's an awful thought...marmite, peanut butter and jam!!

5:59 am

I love marmite but hate peanut butter and as for eating it with jam - words fail me! But I love peanuts - how mad is that?

6:00 am

it's a texture thing i'm sure spellit.

6:00 am

LOL, Terry Pratchett rocks. :D True, Fran, but I was thinking more of the PB & J in one sandwich, rather than adding the marmite into the mix.

Spellit, my husband's the same. He likes Satay sauce, but won't eat peanut butter.

6:00 am

is this least favorite food day?

6:01 am

my favourite mix is peanut butter and honey

6:01 am

yes eva.

I am now going to go defrost some bread...and once it's defrosted, make a peanut butter and jam sandwich. With homemade jam (sister inlaw)

6:01 am

chunky peanut butter with honey Andree! yum!

Ewww - peanut butter and honey? Peanut butter and banana rocks, though!

6:02 am

hmmmm-that's a hard one. anchovies, tripe, snails,squid.Basically anthing from the sea. (yes I know tripe isnt from the sea, but still ewwwww)

6:02 am

Pecan butter is delicious

6:02 am

what site do you guys use for your icons? Just curious.

6:02 am

I have to go - I am feeling quite unwell...

6:02 am

cashew butter too

6:03 am

wolvie, i use google images.

6:03 am

I hope pop qualifies as a food you can hate. :-)

6:03 am

Got to go cook lunch. Hope to bbl to finish. Bye for now

6:03 am

When ever I was expecting Peanutbutter& grape jelly with a cold glass of milk was awsum!

6:03 am

eva, how funny, you just names some of my favorites!

6:03 am

*names

6:03 am

*named

6:04 am

thanks, franmag.

6:04 am

really spellit?

6:04 am

6:04 am

really fran? If we ever share a pizza you can have my anchovies.

as long as none of them touches my slices! Or even thinks about it

6:05 am

we only order from papa john's because no one else uses anchovies anymore.

6:06 am

it annoys me that the dictionary still won't accept raita!

6:06 am

I'd really like an s to be in this grid.

6:06 am

especially since roti IS a word

6:07 am

of course, we would then have 300 words. ;-0

6:07 am

can,t eat little fishes!

6:07 am

I still can' get the en9. Any hints?

Sorry to be a wimp - but can you help wit the an6/18?

6:08 am

Eva - if you put your sneakers on (the British word for sneakers) your feet might be this...

6:08 am

6:11 am

Hi Flask

6:11 am

Oooh - I love raw oysters, Caitlyn!

6:12 am

6:12 am

The thought of oysters make me feel ill!!

6:12 am

love, love, love, oysters. ;-)

6:12 am

6:13 am

Same here Cait......just looking at them makes me feel giddy!

6:13 am

Eva - just lose the g

6:13 am

morning babblers..lots of words again!

6:17 am

I'm in trouble then, I love those on 5/10's ;-)

6:18 am

6:18 am

so far no one has a horrible food that i don't enjoy!

6:18 am

good to know I'm not alone :-)

6:18 am

Fran you must have a stomach of iron!!

Gosh, this puzzle is tough today. It's like pulling teeth.

6:19 am

even your mechanically reclaimed chicken nuggets look good fran!

6:19 am

seano - parts is parts, eh?

6:19 am

Tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, and some shellfish for me.

6:20 am

did you read my profile seano? i don't ha** them anymore, just once upon a time.

6:20 am

I've never had chicken McNuggets. Never had a KFC either. Too greasy :s. I hate green peppers. blegh!

6:20 am

oh, hi all! : )

6:20 am

Hi Babbler

6:20 am

hi babbler!

6:21 am

hi Fran *closes eyes at chicken mcnugget* :s

6:21 am

ahh i though you were protesting on behalf of "real food" for kids

6:21 am

but you found a great specimen for your icon babbler!

6:21 am

hi caitlyn! I've never had oysters! lol! Dunno what I'm missing.

6:21 am

Morning Babbler!

Hi babbler! I'm really beginning to hate this puzzle.

6:22 am

See you all later.

6:22 am

Hi Babbler, and bye, Hodag!

6:22 am

Morning Flask! Thanks Fran. I spent a few mins searching last night. Didn't enjoy it. I love other bell peppers, just not this one. Hi Matty! how are you?

6:22 am

later hodag!

6:22 am

Hi Jencatd : )

Not too bad, thanks Babbler! How bout you?

6:23 am

Yeah, I'm ok... (I can always grumble, lol!) ; )

6:23 am

Any ideas why Licketys is not taking the words?

Gosh, though, I'm struggling with the puzzle....

6:24 am

you could try refreshing flask.

6:24 am

what food do you hate, Flask?

6:24 am

ok....ty!

6:24 am

try refreshing flask.licketys working for me

6:25 am

did everyone get our favorite volcano out of the way already?

6:25 am

its still yesterdays list!!

Mine's fine!

6:26 am

Yes Fran..one of my first words..

6:26 am

even after refreshing flask?

Have now... :D

6:26 am

yes Fran

6:26 am

fran - just now - I always miss a few 4 's right off the bat.

6:27 am

I can see today's too, Flask.

6:27 am

you probably have to clear your browser's cache

6:27 am

our favourite eagle is a bit of a phantom too

6:27 am

morning, all...and I would have missed the volcano had aI not read the log...

6:27 am

ok...brb

Who's our favourite eagle?

6:27 am

morning/afternoon all. some of these foods are scaring me.

6:27 am

morning/afternoon all. some of these foods are scaring me.

6:27 am

you have an old version of the page stuck there.

6:28 am

urrrghhh sprouts bleeeeeeh

6:28 am

Morning pam and mab

6:28 am

(((Mab!!))) (and I love sprouts, lol!) how are you? Hi pam : )

6:28 am

6:28 am

6:28 am

well said seano

6:28 am

I love sprouts!!

6:28 am

MMMMmmmm.... sprouts!

6:28 am

morning all!

6:28 am

or erns for plural alt spelling

I hate sprouts.

6:29 am

Morning Grace

6:29 am

hi Grace : )

6:29 am

dear babbler!! okay here, more or less. I hope you're well.

6:29 am

hi grace! now eggs i can take or leave.

6:29 am

mab Love sprouts

6:29 am

this is a fun icon theme! (love sprouts!)

6:30 am

Still the same Fran!!

6:30 am

I'm ok, more or less too, Mab : )

6:31 am

that means your isp has an old version stuck in their caches, not much you can do about that until their cache updates.

6:31 am

I guess I ought to have put up a less controversial veg, like lima beans -- yech

6:31 am

Grace do you dislike eggs?

6:31 am

oh yeah, yech to lima beans.

6:31 am

what about my new icon...personally i love it...

ar5/12 please - not the one with headgear in it?

6:31 am

oh dear, babs, I expect we'll survive.

Ewww Sean!

6:31 am

mab, now there's one i can actually say i won't eat, lima beans!

6:32 am

And i do seano

6:32 am

Have you tried holding down Shift and refreshing the page, Flask?

6:32 am

what are lima beans? I'll have to look them up.

Lima beans are, I think, broad beans.

6:32 am

matty, don't have all the ARs yet.

6:32 am

no....but I will now..

6:32 am

giant squishy beans...

6:33 am

Yummy!! I love broad beans!! Mmmmm!! :D

6:33 am

you probably don't eat them in the UK -- too sophisticated; you probably treat them as silage if you grow them at all.

6:34 am

tried it......nope...sorry...but thaks all for your help.....I shall have muddle throo with it....lolol

6:34 am

mab Are you saying that we're too sophisticated or the beans are????

6:34 am

Flask, why don't you use Brandyjack's list in BabAnon (if it's up)?

6:34 am

are the uk residents too sophisticated, or the beans....couldn't work out your meaning

6:34 am

yech----- for farm animals only, lima/broad beans. and as for sprouts, belgium can keep them

6:34 am

you

6:35 am

Mab will mean we're too sophisticated!

6:35 am

great minds think alike seano

6:35 am

yep we sure were!

6:35 am

sorry. very bad grammar. the beans are the bad ones. brits are the good ones.

6:35 am

not broad beans - Lima Beans are butter beans! My favourite!! Mmmmmmm!!

6:36 am

I use BJ'S list everyday......but I like to add the words to Lickety's so that I can keep track!

6:36 am

hmmmm i think mab felt a backlash from this side of the pond then......

6:36 am

Thank you mab

6:37 am

ahaa. well, before Lickety invented that list, I used to do something similar in Word. You might have to do that, Flask, if it's a tough grid. : /

6:37 am

(if that's a helpful suggestion? dunno how helpful I'm being, Flask, lol!)

Oops thanks Babbler - got it wrong :D I'm sooo stuck. AR 5/12...at 6/18, ax 5/20 (the second)

I meant I got it wrong...

6:38 am

ok thanks Babbler!

6:38 am

matty, i have an ax5/20 that ends with a charged particle.

6:38 am

you're welcom, frances. love brits, dislike greans in general (the kind one eats, not party members or trees, etc.)

I have that one, Fran...

6:39 am

lol! I understood the first time, Matty! ;D Actually, you may be right, my source was Wikipedia, which can be incorrect. : /

6:39 am

LOL mab

6:40 am

anyway, lima beans are beans and I love beans. : )

6:41 am

I've gone off some of my greens. eg chard. not enjoying them at all. But spinach is ok. (and I used to adore spinach!).

6:41 am

maybe I need the vitamins etc in red and orange and other colour fruit and veg?

6:41 am

matty, the other ax5/20 ends like the end of ni4/4 (PM hours)

6:42 am

ty, fran!

6:42 am

brb--caffeine beckons

6:42 am

fran - good clue - I was just trying to figure out how best to clue that. :-)

6:42 am

hi pam!

6:42 am

thanks wolvie!

6:43 am

it's hard - I don't watch the chat box much - but then something catches my eye ... usually too late. ;-)

6:45 am

matty, the ar5/12 goes in a circle, ar + scrambled frozen water.

6:45 am

off to shops to get today's papers. laters everyone! good luck with the today's grid. : )

6:45 am

7:03 am

Good Morning Everyone!

7:03 am

Good clue peri

7:04 am

Bye the way - good morning

7:04 am

I have 2 of the x's, xe5/20 and xe5/22, need help with the last one please

tane

7:05 am

Frances, I think I have the gas one

trait

oops! i am a cr6/21!

7:06 am

keep it up temple! ;-0

: D

7:06 am

TO- would you at least put in words that I don't have already :)

7:06 am

peri - the flower on is an alternate spelling. Or so it seems to me.

your turn, wolive!

7:07 am

thanks Wolvie, will keep looking

7:07 am

Yes, usually starts with Z

7:07 am

I almost typed in that x word peri wants - does that count? ;-0

i always remember it as the town in ohio leveled by tornados

7:08 am

thanks Frances., I thought so and found it just as I saw your clue

7:08 am

peri You're welcome

7:08 am

I'm seeking what you guys refer to as a fish slap - because I just can't see that last ar5.

no - type in some t words - i need 17 and have run out of ideas

taen

shoot

wolive is this your secret evil plan?

7:09 am

must be.;-)

ok peeep - no time to mess around: if anyone would like to give clues for the ten and nine, i'd be grateful

7:11 am

TO the 10 - is a compound of in5/10 meaning to bury and ch5/14 meaning a series of linked pieces of metal

7:11 am

en9 - one who en 7/28's - that was the clue given earlier

hi molly - don't believe we've met. thanks for the clue!

7:12 am

I hate compound words like that 10

Pass the fish, but can someone help with the pair of ch6/24 s?

7:12 am

yw temple

ty wolvie i am going for the list my time is very short today

7:13 am

Thanks Molly

7:13 am

TO - in that en, think of a choo choo - if that helps.

7:13 am

add a vowel to ch5/14 for the 2nd ch6/24

7:14 am

Wolvie, may I have a clue for the en7 so that I can find the en9

actually my gut response was a performer

7:14 am

peri - use the choo choo

and en7 is playing at Musikfest this week!

7:14 am

TO - I wanted that too. ;-)

great band!

7:14 am

thanks, all for the clues...

7:15 am

got the 10 and the 9, but am stuck on the non-gas, non-dry x

7:15 am

thanks Wolvie

7:15 am

bbl

7:16 am

alternate spelling for a" z" flower, peri

ch6/24s anyone?

town in ohio infamous for largest tornado outbreak

7:16 am

got it, wolvie, thanks

must go hang wash - bbl

7:17 am

matty i did clue one at 7:13

7:17 am

by TO - will miss your "clues" ;-)

: P

7:17 am

yw peri

Cool - have the second one - how 'bout the first.

where is apex wolvie?

7:18 am

wolvie--it's pam, not peri 8-)

7:18 am

North Carolina - right next to Cary/Raleigh

7:18 am

not got that one yet (not got 115 others either!)

7:18 am

I thought I put NC in my profile - I'll fix that.

Please help...(ch 6/25 - not the linked with an e...)

7:19 am

oops! Sorry Pam

7:19 am

matty--can you clue the ch 24?

wolvie: be careful of too much info

I only have one of them. The second one is the ch5/14 before it, but with an extra vowel at the end.

7:19 am

ahhh just noticed my stone cold coffee sat next to me...it wasn't my first whilst playing babble, and it won't be my last

7:20 am

got that, thanks, matty!

7:20 am

okay - TO - not too worried - big big city. but thanks!

7:20 am

lol, seano--a truly bad side affect of babblitis

First ch6/24...help puulleeezzzeeee....?

7:21 am

speaking of cold java - I must go refresh my cup. :-)

*sniff sniff* Sob.

7:22 am

matty this is how sprite clued it earlier...And Ch6/24: switch vowels of 'to deceive, to not play by the rules' and add another vowel.

7:23 am

hey matty - don't feel bad - I didn't get my fish for that last ar 5, either. ;-)

7:23 am

matty ch6/24 sounds a bit like a big fast cat with spots

Got it now - thanks - Whew...

7:23 am

at least you inspired me to fill in one of my gaps matty!!!

The last ar 5 - ar plus headgear.

7:24 am

got it, too! Thanks!

7:24 am

anyone have the in7/28?

7:24 am

hey thanks Matty!

The second cr8/45?

7:25 am

someone else can have the fish now. ;-)

7:25 am

in 7/28 builds on in5/10 the state of being in5/10

7:25 am

Matty - to make

7:25 am

one

7:26 am

in7/28 - the physics property that says it's hard to get things to move

7:26 am

sort of

I have one cr8 - which seems to start with the 'making'...

7:26 am

thanks, mrwrite!

7:26 am

or, my state on hot days...

7:26 am

thx!

it is a gorgeous morning here! cool and a mackerel sky.

7:27 am

the other that starts that way is an amino acid - it is the first one (at least that I have - haven't gone to lickety yet)

7:27 am

ahhhh, wolvie, thanks. The good old body-builder word...

7:27 am

did that make sense - no. - well, Pam thought so. ;-)

7:28 am

lol--not necessarily a good sign, wolvie! 8-)

I have the amino acid - it's the other I'm missing.

7:28 am

how many are there, matty?

7:29 am

that's the one that maker's would say they have done

7:29 am

I always want artic to be a word. lol

7:29 am

artine

7:29 am

oops

There are two cr8/45 - one is the amino acid starting with the first five letters of 'to make' kind of...whilst the other is something else. And I don't know what.

7:29 am

matty--the c******* of the world is a heated discussion these days

7:30 am

Matty - that was for you - ahhh - good clue from Pam

7:30 am

matty, they both begin with the same letters...

7:30 am

matty cr8/45 The world and all things in it

Oh bu**er. I'd had it all along - just not in Lickety. Call me stupid...

7:30 am

Stupid

7:30 am

no no - we are all fishing this morning..

7:30 am

LOL, Frances!

7:31 am

nah, not stupid

7:31 am

7:31 am

matty not really - just had to do it

I am, truly. At least right now...

7:32 am

You want an argument???

Would that be the five minute, or the full half hour...

7:33 am

8:06 am

Matty - I agree - and I'm off to the store, bbl.

Got the eight now - thanks. I HATE vowel beginnings.

8:15 am

sorroy, guyes, the joy of seeing faerie did it!!!

8:15 am

8:16 am

and, with that, I guess i must really depart!

faeeeeeeerrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiekkaa aaaaaaaaaeeeeeee!

Gosh - I want a greeting like that!

Oooh - thanks - I feel so much better now. Loved.

Two weeks yesterday. My daughter's already there.

8:20 am

I lost my Connection but I'm back!!!

hmmmm...and did i get any acknowledge ment of my enthusiastic greeting? *nose out of joint*

OK guys - a bit of trivial pursuit for you. What's special about this sentence: "The weird foreigner seizes neither leisure nor science at their heights"

has every letter i nit?

scratch that...

Not quite...think back to your school days.

8:21 am

breaks all the rules...i before e etc?

Circe, you win the kewpie doll!

a clue for the ar 5/12 not buddhist enlightenment? Please?

yay for circe!

8:22 am

sweet..always wanted one of those...

I'm not sure which is the enlightment, so the second ar5/12 is ar + headgear, and the first is ar+anagram of frozen water.

Can anyone clue the in6/21?

ty it is the second one!

YW!

er5/12 clue please?

A woman's name - ER*** Jong - wrote Fear of Flying

IN6/21 bitte?

ty i allso forgot the volcano! double fish slap!

don;t have it yet : (

8:31 am

in + canvas cover

ty inge!

That's the 6/18 - I'm after the 6/21 before it.

8:33 am

in + diplomacy in speech

8:33 am

matty-all in one piece

I'm SUCH a moron - I got the ta part of that word not 10 seconds ago...

Thanks guys.

8:34 am

dont have it, that er word is my daughters name, sort of, and I missed it!!!

8:35 am

thanks Matty, now I am going to take a break and recuperate my braincells

Good idea - I'll shortly do the same (though not quite yet)

ne4/4 - the babblet - not the real words, please?

8:40 am

ne and repeat?

OOh - duh - I've even seen those - I have actually used the word in real life.

8:41 am

good morning everyone!

Morning Annie.

Judging from the fact that no-one's asked for the ON7, I'll asume it's an easy real word?

wine related

8:46 am

I kept one of KM students every afternoon so her grandma could sleep - it's been a long time since I had a toddler in the house, and yesterday I had to do a Social Saturday street fair for marketing.

8:56 am

How about you shutter?

8:57 am

There are two re8 words - one is what you pay a lawyer, or what you put in your mouth when you get your braces off...what's teh other?

it's an ren

9:02 am

That sounds great Angelsong

9:04 am

it's going to be an adventure just ifnding the restrooms, but it is good to be out of the old building.

9:04 am

matty - the other is re8/40 - rhymes with what someone is when they are sorry. (canvas dwellling ending)

9:04 am

LOL Angel - find the bathroom first.

9:05 am

LOL...I do keep M and M's ar my desk somerimwa.

9:06 am

yes TO

9:06 am

HHHeeeee I knew it. I always did too.

9:07 am

I had to keep finding strategic ways to hide them from the college students

9:07 am

the one consolaiton is that all of us will be in the same situation. totally lost.

9:07 am

It can be a shared adventure

may i have a clue then for the one that is not the lawyer's fee? i could not get the first clue sorry

9:08 am

the blessing is that, by the time our busiest season begins in two weeks, we will be somewhat settled in.

9:08 am

i couldnt either, working on it

9:09 am

re plus baby louse then part of the canvas dwelling ending. re8/40

She was leaving at the end of the week so won't be back for a while.

9:28 am

such a great set of words today too! it's a shame.

9:29 am

I know - more babble words than you could imagine fitting in one grid.

9:30 am

i esp love the one i only know from miss marple in "what mrs. mcgillicuddy saw", to7

9:32 am

and just the other day we were talking about une's hometown and there it is!

9:34 am

Hi Hurshy!!!!

9:34 am

9:36 am

greetings, sherb

9:37 am

LOL these are dark chocolate chips - want some? I'm putting the warm tray out right now. Grab up gang

9:37 am

speaking of which, internet is not in the grid, but if it were, it wouldn't count.

9:37 am

believe it or not I really want a "v" in this grid

9:37 am

!

9:38 am

inervate, renovate etc

9:38 am

(that's me not believing it)

9:38 am

oooohh coooookies, *grabs a cookies - stuffs in mouth* thanks!!!!

9:39 am

9:39 am

Sounds like too much ex8, musicmom.

9:39 am

9:39 am

9:40 am

I do Hurshy

9:40 am

I have already baked a dozen zucchini muffins and a loaf of bread this morning also.

9:40 am

Leave me home for a day and I go crazy in the kitchen:-)

9:41 am

i'd eat some of your yummies if i haden't already had 3 brownies for breakfast...

9:41 am

to7 - investment fund... or fantastic restaurant in Yorkshire...

9:41 am

Tuck one away for later Hurshy.

9:41 am

hey how'd that e get in there?

9:42 am

It's fun to bake when I know I can take it to someone else and I won't be tempted to eat all of it myself.

9:42 am

ok SMF, and i may just bake some bread myself...although...i dunno if i will finish the grid in time

9:42 am

saving my baking for a cooler day... I have a yen for coffee and walnut cake...

9:42 am

If I don't quit talking I'm not going to finish it either. <G> I just missed you all so much!!!!!

9:43 am

Ohhhh that sounds good sherb

9:43 am

That's why I'm doing my baking in the morning. In another hour or two it will be too hot.

9:44 am

no flour or fat... just eggs, walnuts, ground coffee and sugar...

9:44 am

Then in7/28 will set in.

9:44 am

ewwwwwwwwww

9:44 am

Is that recipe posted at Bab Anon? If not, will you?

9:44 am

(sorry i don't like coffee)

9:45 am

will do, mm... :)

9:45 am

I live on coffee

9:45 am

thanks sherb

9:45 am

in theory, according to the laws of in7, since mm is in motion, she should stay in motion

9:45 am

I probably will until something forces me to quit

9:45 am

unless acted upon by an outside force, which in this case is inside - her brain

9:45 am

just finished my second cup of freshly brewed coffee, coffee and babble, heaven!

9:46 am

me too annie

9:46 am

me too annie

9:46 am

LOL Hursh

9:46 am

9:46 am

hahahhaaa that one hits about 2 in the afternoon

9:46 am

hurshy!!!!!

9:47 am

yes annie?

9:47 am

Had an all-school reunion last week. all three high schools attended and even ther pre-school!

9:47 am

just re***ing to your comment re: the 27th cup of coffee, I'm bad but not that bad!

9:48 am

oh, it's a quote from a brady bunch parody anyway annie :)

9:51 am

if something can be intractable, why can't we have intract? (ok, yes, this is close to other words, but how else am i supposed to ask my question?)

9:52 am

intractable is an antonym of tractable

9:52 am

hurshy, makes sense to me

9:52 am

hurshy, makes sense to me

9:52 am

the root of which is a word...

9:53 am

(byzantine, just get used to me asking silly questions in half-jesting manner)

9:53 am

goo mornin

9:53 am

step in something? got sticky shoes now?

9:53 am

hi ypsi

9:54 am

9:56 am

did enable skip history class? i think reich should count.

9:56 am

hey cuz

9:57 am

i believe that is a proper name

9:57 am

hey cuz

9:57 am

nah, it just means "regime" basically, which would count

9:58 am

if only Enable recognised French, German, Italian etc we could find thousands of words...

9:58 am

but not here, hurshy

9:58 am

reich must of missed math class?

9:58 am

but sometimes we DO get foreign words, which is what makes it so maddening.

9:58 am

Reich is capitalised in my dictionary.

9:58 am

must have...

9:58 am

Taylor just put sunglasses on the dog

9:58 am

enable accepts loads of spanish words

9:59 am

ah well, if it is capitalized, i bow to the inevitable

9:59 am

funny... Kacy kept us up from 2:30 am - 4:30 am cuz she was scared the dots (the dark) were coming to get her

10:00 am

sorry the big girl bed must be getting to her

10:00 am

I have to go for a little while. Be back in a bit

10:00 am

but she did so good with other thing yesterday... 4 times!

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:02 am

I am in the mood for poppers

10:02 am

it is very wishy washy

10:03 am

I found Emeril's recipe on line. it looks munchy, but is a bit lengthy

10:03 am

10:06 am

I need to get her to like her bed again she kicks

10:06 am

yeah, I was so tired last night I thought of bringing her to our bed, but did not want to start a bad habit

10:07 am

yeah good plan Nick is still in the guest bed to give us room

10:07 am

I think he just does not want to get kicked

10:08 am

I just got the popper email. Emeril does not put bacon in his. Did you make them yet?

10:08 am

no I am not sure about the bacon either

10:09 am

Em's just has cheese and spices mainly, it's baked, not fried.

10:09 am

but you said you like hers

10:10 am

yeah I liked hers -did not know there was bacon though, I guess with yummt broiled cheese and peppers you can't go too wrong

10:10 am

yeah I am going to make them today or tomorrow I need to use the peppers

10:10 am

I don't think Greg would want me to use bacon since he has gone all healthy

10:11 am

what about the cheese

10:11 am

good god...what about the cheese lol

10:11 am

yeah I know I thought about that

10:11 am

10:12 am

sorry sorry do not mean to be dull

10:12 am

10:12 am

10:12 am

10:13 am

10:13 am

10:13 am

sorry every one

10:14 am

Good morning, any clues for on7/32?

10:15 am

Lara and ypsi -- was enjoying your chat, reminded me of the days when our kids were that age!

10:15 am

It wasn't annoying me. Lots of babblers like to chat.

10:15 am

hi Marc!

10:15 am

10:15 am

10:16 am

Lara and Yps - sounds like when BGL and I finally meet up here.

10:16 am

Sorry to hear abou the big girl bed problem. We had one of those too

10:16 am

I have been enjoying the critter tales... I read one each day (to stretch them out)

10:16 am

Hi Marc

10:16 am

Hi Stid

10:16 am

{{{{MUSICMOM}}}}

10:16 am

look, i didn't mean to be rude, and i have had personal chats in here when i haven't had access to IM, but since no one else was talking, i just thought maybe...

10:16 am

doing better than me... 139 still to find...

10:16 am

Hello stidmama!

10:17 am

(ah, but I was one for two hours last night.... and sprite was here, dropping hints right and left)

10:17 am

Hi stid. Enjoyed your pictures of Canada!

10:17 am

Afternoon all

10:17 am

since no one else was talking I did not think anyone would care that we were

10:17 am

hi Fmitch.

10:17 am

Ahhhhh all feels right with the world seeing all my friends again.

10:17 am

Lara -- around 9 pm game time each day I have been telling a story.... no one minds! really!

10:17 am

I was too busy to be lonely but I still missed you all.

10:18 am

10:18 am

hi Fmitch :)

10:18 am

yps - can you pick a few things up for me.

10:18 am

hi FMitch!

10:18 am

story? i wondered what that was all about.

10:19 am

It was a crazy week stid. Weddings, classes, babysitting toddlers -NO babble brain in my head when I finally sat down about 11 p.m. every night

10:19 am

LOL bonkler! it started one day when the grid was a mere 40 words... and everyone was bored.

10:19 am

It kinda caught on.

10:19 am

marc, whatever on7 is, it comes from the bottom O

10:19 am

Hey musicmom, Haz, sherb and stidmama - great to see you and Hi to everyone else

10:19 am

LOL stid

10:19 am

hm. thanks Hurshy, was looking for where to start!

10:20 am

well, Ontario isn't there... *searches some more*

10:20 am

on7 - first number, vowel, shortened version of the Lionheart King or Burton the actor

10:21 am

ty haz

10:21 am

Hi everybody. Ive been in and out of the grid all day, so not doing too well, only have 40 words so far, and I haven't reached the re's yet!

10:21 am

sorry but i thought you were off on a tangent. so i tuned out of the chat. i wondered what are you on about with people crying at birds and putting chairs properly under the table. lol

I got it. thanks but on5/10 is very tricky and can't find it.

is shorty on

10:21 am

MARC! it's a vegetable!!!!!!

10:21 am

no, on5 isn't tricky, think shrek

10:21 am

go ExWren go!

10:21 am

on5/10 will make you weep when you find it.

10:22 am

is marc a vegetable salesman? why are you so horrified stid?

10:22 am

Got the on 7 thanks Haz

10:22 am

Layers upon layers of shrek

10:22 am

That"on" word means having the quaity of dreams--much like myself this a.m., Morning all

Oh! got it. Thanks a little slow this morning.

Oh! got it. Thanks a little slow this morning.

10:22 am

lol musicmom

10:22 am

ha! the ON 7 is like my story "Of, relating to, or suggestive of dreams"

10:23 am

hi, all.

10:23 am

parfaits have layers too

10:23 am

because the AN will be clued as "vegetable-like" hurshy! (it always is... LOL

10:23 am

hi emusing!

10:23 am

and trifles

10:23 am

Stid, get out of my head

10:23 am

an5 can also be clued as opposite of ca6 though

10:24 am

and lasagne

10:24 am

and bricks

10:25 am

oh, good morning hetty! I see you beat me to the punch on the definition... :-)

10:25 am

and chicken farmers

10:25 am

and sedimentary rock (or is it metamorphic?)

10:25 am

LOL hurshy

10:25 am

and certain cakes

10:25 am

sedimentary, musicmom... like the strata in my kids' rooms...

10:25 am

Only because I had a full night of dreams, Stid

10:26 am

are you okay, dear hetty

10:26 am

once they get to be teenagers it'll turn into sedentary, stid

10:26 am

I was right! (pat pat pat my back)

10:27 am

I was conniving this week. I paid Sarah $5 to clean Hannah's room while Hannah was at Grandma's house

10:27 am

LOL musicmom!

10:27 am

If only she would clean her own room as well. She won't even do that for $$

10:27 am

so pay hannah to clean sarah's room

10:27 am

I was going to excavate Grant's room while they were at camp, but it was too hot that week -- so this last week he started cleaning it himself!

10:28 am

like steven colbert's suggestion that all the housewives just move one house over and be paid to be nannies for the neighbors' kids...

10:28 am

so the answer to the age-old question is: when you can't get to your favorite toys, it's time to clean up.

10:28 am

LOL hurshy. I don't think Sarah will be gone for me to do that. NO way is she going to allow her 6 year old sister in there while she is home.

10:28 am

Of course. But last night Alan and I watched a DVD called NORMAL--jJessica Lange and Tok Wilkinson--and t was so compelling that afterwards we talked and talked and slept uneasily

10:28 am

I love Steven Colbert --- what a smart man

10:28 am

I recommend it unreservedly to everyone

10:29 am

Sounds interesting Hetty

10:29 am

i say just let them be messy. my theory is whatever you do as a kid, you will do the opposite as an adult. i was messy, now i'm neat.

10:29 am

I'll have to check it out

10:29 am

oops, used a word

10:29 am

how many words total?

10:29 am

how many words total?

10:29 am

That is true Hurshy. Something about paying a mortgage has made me more anal about cleanliness

10:29 am

180

10:29 am

oh -- but probably for morning viewing for me (anything that keeps others tossing and turning would keep me completely awake!)

10:29 am

180 Alex

10:29 am

180 Alex

10:30 am

You need to wattch it with your Tom, Stid.

10:30 am

didn't happen for me, unfortunately, but then my house growing up was nightmareishly clean... what I consider "total disaster" is actually comfortable to many of my friends!

10:31 am

DONE...anyone need a clue??

10:31 am

LOL stid

10:31 am

No thanks Ouw. Bravo!

10:31 am

yes, what does the 9 start with?

10:31 am

but the rule for the children's rooms is: there must be a clear and direct path from the door to the bed and from the bed to the window by bedtime... safety is what's important, not looks.

10:32 am

the 9 is E

10:32 am

Okay time to prepare brunch. Be back later.

10:32 am

I* think "Normal" was inspired by the true story of Jan Morris, if anyone's interested

10:32 am

I do the same thing stid. I want an escape route in their rooms.

10:32 am

hurshy -- do you want which E or the second letter?

10:32 am

later musicmom!

10:32 am

i am guessing it starts with either en5/10 or ex5/20?

10:32 am

How does this game work? What are the rules?

10:32 am

*looks up Jan Morris)

10:33 am

actually, the en 7, hurshy...

10:33 am

en9/54...hurshy

10:33 am

afternoon all, just finished work. how are u all today.

10:33 am

unlink, you might want to start by reading "Help" above the chat, then see what questions you still have?

10:33 am

ty

10:33 am

which en7?!

10:34 am

oh got it

10:34 am

hm. she sounds like an interesting person. I have friends like her...

10:34 am

unlink, the other resource new people find helpful is Angelsong's Resource Page, link at the bottom of the "FRiends of Babble" section on this page.

10:35 am

She started life as a "he" and became a "she",contnuing in a loving marriage with her wife of many years and the mother of her children. She's also a great writer of many kinds of books, both earlier as a man and now as a woman

10:35 am

hi oggy! so much better than the last couple of days.

10:35 am

today seems like the highest proportion of 7+ letter words that i have ever seen

10:35 am

my friends were not so lucky in their relationships, unfortunately...

10:36 am

and sprite was amazed at the number of babblets in the grid as well, hurshy.

10:36 am

if only sprite wouldn't go and do the whole grid while i'm sleeping so i could get her clues... :)

10:37 am

(they're in the archives, hurshy ;-) )

10:37 am

true, but it takes so long to load...

10:38 am

whats been wrong with you, stid

10:38 am

ah. *wrinkles brow, trying to remember* well, the "funny fence" is here, and a "chilly fog" (don't know that word), and shakespeare for "later"...

10:39 am

got the shakespeare one at least...

10:39 am

I don't quite know, oggy -- Grant seems to have brought a nonspecific virus home from camp, and he and I spent the last few days with fevers and headaches. Better now, though :-)

10:39 am

i don't even think of that as a babblet...it's shakespeare!

10:39 am

but there's the greek temple and the volcano

10:39 am

yep, those are there!

10:40 am

and the t with all the vowels

10:40 am

the fish genus like the "skate"

10:40 am

the t that sounds like it belongs on a guitar...

10:40 am

one of the X 5s was in the grid a couple days ago

10:41 am

yup. ok i have no idea whether or not i have the fish genus, funny fence, or chilly fog

10:41 am

yeah i just looked in the dictionary for x's anyway

10:41 am

there is an undefined T 5 that looks greek to me...

Any clues on in10/84

10:41 am

there is an undefined T 5 that looks greek to me...

10:42 am

the fish is ra 4, the fence is ha 4 and sprite said the fog was also ha 4, but I am not sure what that would be.

10:42 am

the 5/10 you mean?

10:42 am

compound word, Marc -- "between links" is how it translates...

10:42 am

marc, prefix plus think with links

10:42 am

oh i have the fish then

10:42 am

yes hurshy

10:43 am

and the fence and i think the fog, it's dutch looking

10:43 am

AFTERNOON ALL... ;)

10:43 am

hi everyone!

10:43 am

ah! thanks hurshy, it is dutch looking -- no wonder sprite =found it so fast!

10:43 am

yup, i have all those babblets - TBEAR!

10:43 am

oh shoot, hang on

10:43 am

hi -- feather!!!!

Thanks, got it

10:43 am

hi again tbear!

10:44 am

The fog is well known in Edinburgh.

10:44 am

darn it, and this means the 60 words i did earlier are all on the wrong name

10:44 am

tbear - where have you been!!!!

10:44 am

LOL feather :-) that's what you get when you try to be clever!

10:44 am

10:46 am

10:46 am

Anyone else finding the grid is very slow??

10:46 am

10:46 am

10:46 am

10:47 am

10:47 am

There are two cr 8 words

10:47 am

very slow, like it is broken

10:47 am

tbear - with the new site, server is often slow, but once you hit enter once, your post usually will go, and if you hit it again... that happens :)

10:47 am

yes, looks like tbear and I broke the chat again!

10:47 am

another cr..hursh

10:47 am

Hi tbear! Good to see you back. Newly designed website means when we hit the 'enter' button it posts our chat ... as I think you are discovering! :)

10:47 am

And two re 8 words

10:48 am

Opps babble has hic upped again

10:48 am

10:49 am

oh no! have you tried aloe?

10:49 am

Hello ch1212!

10:49 am

I am so glad I don't live where there are fireants any more!

10:49 am

lianakate, that's not fair! You already have health stuff to deal with --- you should only have to deal with one thing at a time. {{{{ hugs }}}}

10:50 am

does anyone have the second AN 5/10 between the an "close" and the an like a veggie?

10:50 am

awwwww..ch ty. Doc took me off my water pills..i have gained 12 lbs since Wed..I feel like I am major pms'ing

10:51 am

10:51 am

stid it is an + to ...er a room.

10:51 am

there are 6 AN 5/10 in all, hurshy!

10:52 am

don't blame you for that, lianakate. I hope you're being as loving as possible -- i.e. chocolate, bubblebaths, special treats, and of course babble!

10:52 am

thanks oggy!

10:52 am

yikes,

10:52 am

lianakate, don't know if it would help, but the ingredient in the antihistamine Benadryl is supposed to be great for itchy skin or rashes of any kind.

10:53 am

HA...ch..bubble baths I can do..No freakin choco..am diabetic..the babble is a life saver..

10:53 am

that was an unexpected one for sure!

10:53 am

i have some benadryl tabs..but, LOL they put me to sleep...

10:53 am

ok, i'm all good to go now

10:53 am

okay feather, I like you better with a "face" anyway!

10:53 am

10:53 am

ah! a child emerges!

10:54 am

SIX an5/10??? i'm monkeying away...good golly...

10:54 am

*violins playing in background while the sobbing chorus moans piteously for lianakate*

10:54 am

lol stid

10:54 am

they do that to me too. Sometimes i can get by with a half tab -- not so sleepy. Anyway, all of your babbler friends are sending cyber hugs and good thoughts.

10:54 am

And violins from Stidmama :)

10:55 am

Ohhhh..I like that..a greek chorus would be welcome too...Laughing so hard..ty, stid

10:55 am

10:55 am

10:55 am

(cellos are all that is left for feather, lianakate used up all the fiddles)

10:55 am

if anyone wants to see some cool pictures of them (like my icon) go to my profile for the link.

10:55 am

and yep, nap time is scheduled VERY soon!

10:55 am

but youre welcome to whine also..we need cheese with the whine..HA

10:56 am

10:56 am

10:56 am

10:56 am

HAHAHAHA Tbear..you whin

10:56 am

10:56 am

10:57 am

lol hurshy!

10:57 am

whin is a derivative of wine..lol, of my own invention

10:57 am

LOL lk!!

10:57 am

whin is the "guilt inducing" fruit of the grape...

10:57 am

My daughter says, "Would you like some cheese with your whine?"

10:57 am

oh well, at least your hair was pretty!

10:57 am

tbear - why? how long? how will you cope?

10:58 am

gotta step away. stidmatt says he is not well...

10:58 am

Ooooooh..i may have a topper...I didnt want to include..but feel pressured to do so by Tbear...My step mother died last night.. "(

10:58 am

whew, got all an5/10

10:58 am

oh, i'm so sorry liana. you win.

10:58 am

was it unexpected?

10:58 am

gosh, liana, you are having a really rough time... (((liana)))

10:58 am

lianakate, how very sorry I am! You and she are in our prayers.

10:58 am

..she was very sick..and 85. In a way, it was a blessing for her..and ty

10:59 am

she hasnt wanted to live since my dad died in 86!!

10:59 am

oh, that's rough

10:59 am

:(

10:59 am

but..the upside is..I get to go home to Michigan.. to see my "people" (as they say down south)_

11:00 am

That is sad. My poppa died in January and he was missing my mom every day since she died in 1981.

11:00 am

:(

11:00 am

you are all so kind. Living away from my roots..makes it difficult..and here you ALL are..friends..YAY

11:01 am

Sorry, CH..hopefully they are together, again.!!

11:01 am

i guess we've all made it down from the ceiling...

11:01 am

Indeed we are, lianakate. One of these years we'll have a huge babbler convention and all meet for laughs and hugs ... and babble, of course!

11:02 am

As are your dad and stepmom now too .

11:02 am

oh hurshy!

11:02 am

Okay..time to clean the carpet on the stairs..(where my insignifancat other dripped coffee) Later fine folks.

11:02 am

11:02 am

i thought a mary poppins reference would be good... no?

11:02 am

Adios. :)

11:03 am

heh, i knew it immediately

11:03 am

later lianakate, feel better...

11:03 am

he will be home soon, from working in St Louis..I dont know why I bother..HAHAHAH

11:03 am

byeeeeeee

11:04 am

ok stid, i've been meaning and meaning to ask you....where'd you get that icon?

11:04 am

yep. stidmatt has "IT" this morning. He will spend most of the next two days sleeping.

11:04 am

I made it, feather. I copied some of the letters from the grid, changed their colors in my paint program and arranged them...

11:04 am

hmmm, can't seem to find this other re8, i have the one you pay a lawyer or wear for your teeth

11:05 am

oh, very cool!

11:05 am

yeah that's neato stid

11:05 am

stidmatt has one in different colors :-)

11:06 am

okay, stuck on the AN 6/18 and the 8/40 that follows it... clues please?

11:06 am

you an6 my head with oil, my cup overflows...

11:06 am

when you are baptized, the priest will an**** your forehead with oil

11:07 am

argh! thanks, hurshy, thought I entered those last night, but apparently they didn't "stick"

11:07 am

11:07 am

11:07 am

ooh oggy, great clue!

11:08 am

once again, like yesterday, a large bunch of 6's left

11:09 am

my brain being what it is, I can't seem to see when the list doesn't include words I thought I entered...

11:09 am

an6 is an5/10 before it + crossed letter and extend for the 8

11:09 am

get to see the balloon pics stid?

11:09 am

do you have both AN 6/18 hurshy? there is one close to the end...

11:09 am

11:10 am

missing 1 8,

11:10 am

guess not stid!

11:11 am

very pretty, feather! I really like the one you got from directly below, and the chili pepper one is hilarious!

11:11 am

shalom lshult, hope you are well.

11:12 am

Got 2x cr8 ex8 in8 2x re8 what am I missing + clue?

11:12 am

that straight up one was such a lucky fluke! i was taking pics of the flames of one, and heard flames right above me. dropped back to lay on my back to get the shot.

11:12 am

an8 person who an6

11:12 am

those chili peppers are slightly obscene, aren't they?!

11:13 am

good evening to you Stid, I'm well thanks, hope everyone out there is too

11:13 am

*giggle* only slightly?!?

11:13 am

hee

11:13 am

we are doing well, thanks. the blackberries are ripe, so have been picking daily when we can!

11:13 am

are you in a dangerous area, lshult?

11:14 am

don't appear to have the an6?

11:14 am

you an6 my head with oil, my cup overflows

11:14 am

Sorry, but what exactly does the priest do with the an6 word????? with oil.....? Hi everyone!

11:14 am

ok, off to nap. later!

11:15 am

Hurshy- lucky for me I live in the far south and am safe, my heart is breaking for the families up in the north of the country!!

11:15 am

you know, he just, like, puts it on your head, to signify that you are blessed, or have been set apart to be king, or whatever

11:15 am

hi katusha, it's an ancient practice of "blessing" with scented oils -- the oil helps extend the scent. it ends with the first four letters of the stuff you put on cuts and scratches to help it heal

11:15 am

I have a daughter stationed not far from you Ishult.....

11:15 am

later feather.

11:15 am

but my son is a different story.....

11:15 am

Thanks Kat, got the 6 & the 8 now

11:15 am

war is not nice

11:16 am

katusha -- are you there also?

11:16 am

Where is she (and where are you for that matter)?

11:16 am

yes..... thus the name, this game is helping me through the mess....

11:17 am

Katusha, here's another clue: If I select you to be president of the club, then I ap***** you to be president. So .... the an word you want is that ap word minus the double consonant

11:17 am

{{{katusha and lshult}}}

11:19 am

ok, one more itty bit clue,.... I have brain freeze apparently,.... I am just north of Tel-Aviv

11:19 am

My son is up north

11:19 am

you can have as many clues as you want!

11:19 am

where is your daughter stationed?

11:20 am

I didn't mean to make you guys feel guilty....

11:20 am

no, katusha, you didn't, only sympathetic

11:20 am

Slightly south and east of you..... Air Force Intelligence

11:20 am

an + pig noise, change last letter

11:20 am

thanks.... this game is a god-send

11:20 am

what is the first AR 5/12 please?

11:21 am

I'm not religious, but I'll pray for your sons safe return & a quick end to this war!!

11:21 am

you didn't katusha -- I think most of us are keeping everyone in the middle east in seriously good thoughts right now, and serious prayer. Especially for those we know who have families there, or who are there themselves, like you and ishult.

11:21 am

i am, you ***, then add abbr for cold sweet summer thing in a cone

11:21 am

(that's your clue stid)

11:21 am

finially - just kept spellin it wrong

11:21 am

thanks again hurshy!

11:22 am

finally under 40! going to get breakfast. brb

11:22 am

11:22 am

enjoy, stid!

11:22 am

it WAS true, yay

11:22 am

thanks so much,.....lets just hope it all ends quickly with as little damage as possible,....

11:23 am

anyone object if we run through 7's?

11:24 am

hit it, hursh, please.....

11:24 am

I know a So African who moved to your Kibbutz from Tuval, Cecil.... is he still there?

11:24 am

ok, there are def no A7 first off

11:24 am

I have the ar5,12 if anyone still needs a clue.....

11:25 am

yes please!

11:25 am

ar+something you wear on your head!

11:25 am

i have: ca7, ch7, ci7x2, en7x2, ex7, in7, on7, ta7, to7, tr7

11:26 am

thanks, that's a strange one!

11:26 am

I only have 3 - sevens.... ugh,... a have a long way!

11:27 am

ca7x2,ch7,ci7x2,cr7,en7x2,ex7,in7,on7, ta7x2,to7,tr7 thats all the 7s

11:28 am

ok so i need a second ca and a second ta...

11:28 am

and cr

11:30 am

hurshy have u got ca6/21 if so + vowel to end

11:30 am

that's the one i've got, oggy, thanks though

11:30 am

do the same to both ca6/21

11:30 am

hurshy if you have the cr8 drop the vowel off the end

11:31 am

thanks ch1212, wonder why i didn't think of that sooner

11:32 am

hmm, it doesn't work with the other ca6/21 i have, i must need that 6 as well

11:32 am

my thoughts exactly

11:32 am

got it! yay! thanks oggy

11:32 am

there are 3 ca6/21 its the first 2 u want

11:33 am

so that just leaves the ta... the one i have has to do with you-know-what

11:34 am

the 1st ta just add a vowel to the ta6 before it

11:35 am

looks like another case of needing a 6

11:35 am

ch - do you hate watermelone???

11:36 am

how could anyone ha4 watermelon?

11:36 am

the other is t + small insect + curry and ...e

11:36 am

dunno, look at ch's icon

11:36 am

I do, evanonut. When I was a kid I felt weird about it because it looks like such a fun food when you're a kid. I always wanted to spit the seeds like my friends, but just can't stand the taste.

11:36 am

curry like food or curry like a horse?

11:37 am

like food

11:37 am

what a bummer ch!

11:37 am

oh wait, i see, yeah that's the ta i have

11:37 am

that's the way i am about cherries, ch1212

11:38 am

notice the food i ha ** made the grid - YAY me!

11:38 am

hi babblers, my second session of the day..half way exactly

11:38 am

lol nut

11:38 am

oggy, help with the ta 6 that i need to add a vowel to in order to get the 7?

11:39 am

Ever notice that Dr_God often includes some word having to do with the day's theme? I think he does that on purpose, and the food he ha**s is probably the on*** too. :)

11:39 am

okay, back to work, will pop in later

11:39 am

me too

11:40 am

ta + ..ter a room +t..ra what u wear on your head

11:40 am

can someone help me with the small insect and the curry????

11:40 am

sorry the best i can do

11:40 am

katusha, it's an adj you find before the word sex... the kama sutra deals with it i believe

11:40 am

katusha, if you are a fan of Sting, you might have heard that he and Trudi enjoy ta**** sex ...

11:40 am

11:47 am

Gut morgen riemann.

11:47 am

The raspberry jelly is very good! Yum!

11:47 am

G'morning, Matt

11:50 am

11:50 am

Hi Hurshy

11:51 am

hi riemann, i have seen you around and mentioned sums when you were here before, you may recall

11:51 am

Yes, but the seminar room served beer, not tea.

11:51 am

hi judI! it's a tricky one... but with hurshy here you'll manage!

11:51 am

Hi judi!

11:51 am

what were you seminaring about?

11:51 am

ah but i'm at the dreaded 14 stid, so all the trickiest ones, i may not have

11:52 am

The seminar is an ongoing series about various things related to the math dept.

11:52 am

hurshy, to me, MOST of them are tricky ;-) LOL

11:52 am

(go hurshy go, btw)

11:53 am

ah! no wonder they serve beer! are they discussing what to do with "squishy thinkers" like me? *giggle*

11:53 am

11:57 am

11:59 am

shorty, every afternoon someone comes looking for you in the log. Could you leave a forwrding address?

11:59 am

i would say it is a grid that draws heavily on a good vocabulary

11:59 am

riemann -- Scrabbler is another stid... and smarter than the average, so watch out!

11:59 am

REALLY?

11:59 am

shorty -- it's smiley...

12:03 pm

woo-hoo! another convert to Babblism!

12:03 pm

Enterovirus! Epidemic all summer.

12:03 pm

this grid is a pain today... going to the list now with still 70 words to go!

12:04 pm

i'm at 13... considering the list...

12:04 pm

oh -- I bet you're right, Scrabbler! I keep forgetting that those bugs don't always end up with bodily emissions -- we've just had fevers and headaches (thankfully)

12:04 pm

hmmm, about that OTHER xe 5/20?

12:04 pm

hey all

12:04 pm

12:05 pm

i've already been semi-rude in the log today stid...

12:05 pm

one of the XE 5/20 sounds like the warrior princess from TV

12:05 pm

GWHIM???

12:05 pm

wheee....it's a gas...

12:05 pm

hi again : ) right, I've updated the theme list to show harpjane's excellent 'take a word from the grid' theme every Friday. I've had to move a few things around. Let me know if I've moved anything dear to you, or if I've messed up! : )

12:17 pm

nrkii - a deal in which heirs or investors get more money if the others die off

12:18 pm

cool, Babbler!

12:18 pm

hursh - they are the food of the devil. disgusting, foul, horrible, vile vegetables!

Down to 6 cr8,45 ex8,65 in8,45 in10,84 re8,40 re8,40 Clues for any will be greatly appreciated.

12:18 pm

left and came back - want to see my icon

12:18 pm

Oh, Babbler, peppers are lovely. Now lima beans - major gag factor.

12:18 pm

ex 8 = activity requiring a great deal of effort

12:18 pm

hursh, I monkey-typed it, but somehow your clue helped me do that!

12:18 pm

rumple... cr8, add vowel to cr7, or genesis

12:19 pm

BABBLER!!!!

12:19 pm

hehe, Judi, Mab said the same this morning.... but I adore Lima beans! (we call them butter beans)

12:19 pm

ex8, strain, hard work

12:19 pm

one to go re 6/18

12:19 pm

i don't like peppers either, babbler

12:19 pm

I love all other peppers, just not green ones. bitter, yukky, nasty things. ptooey.

12:19 pm

in8 behave with each other (hard to clue)

12:19 pm

in10, in5 plus linky thing

12:20 pm

re8 sorry, but starts with r instead of p

12:20 pm

chj, how about the re + part of the eye, and another vowel at end

12:20 pm

hi guys

12:20 pm

mmm, I love all the peppers in your icon, Ping. just hate green ones.

12:20 pm

re8 what you pay a lawyer, or what you wear to straigthen your teeth

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

re6/18 put prongs on a fork again? (dunno which you need chj)

12:20 pm

EVANONUT!!! (((xxx))) how you doing, girl?

12:20 pm

welcome battygal!

12:20 pm

i don;t like on***s

12:21 pm

F-I-R-E-W-O-R-K-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:21 pm

REN!! Now I love on***s

12:21 pm

i try not to discriminate, you know

12:21 pm

congrats chj!!

12:21 pm

doing great babsy RENNIE!!

12:21 pm

wtg chj!

12:21 pm

ren..arent they good for curing scurvy

12:21 pm

well cabbage is worse than anything. think about it. no matter what any culture tries to make with it, it's awful. cole slaw, sauerkraut, borscht, kimchi...

12:21 pm

yay chj!!!!!!!!!!

12:21 pm

oooh, (((xxx))) for Rennie

12:21 pm

yay chj!!!!!!!!!!

12:22 pm

Here comes Nutty!

12:22 pm

I LOVE coleslaw!

12:22 pm

but you can use oranges or lemons or limes for scurvy

12:22 pm

im ready to help now nrkii

12:22 pm

chj - on***s are a superfood. they cleanse the blood, kill bad bacteria, and lots of other majorly important things. They are excellent.

12:22 pm

Babbler, please don't tell me you like liver with those on***s!

12:22 pm

chj - on***s are a superfood. they cleanse the blood, kill bad bacteria, and lots of other majorly important things. They are excellent.

12:22 pm

But I must disagree, hurshy. Coleslaw (and chili) is what makes hotdogs palatable!

12:22 pm

hahaha babbler!

12:23 pm

ketchup is what makes hotdogs palatable

12:23 pm

food fight!

12:23 pm

babbler is right of course, if one could only do something about the texture

12:23 pm

MMmm!! liver!!! I like it grilled. Never had it with on***s. I've got loads of on***s in teh fridge and I was thinking I might make french on*** soup soon. Haven't made it since school! lol

12:23 pm

no mustard and relish makes hotdogs palatable

12:23 pm

onions are the work of the devil.the end

12:23 pm

okay, back again.

12:23 pm

hi ren and gwen

12:23 pm

relish does

12:23 pm

Here-here, Hurshy. Weiners with red sauce. Gourmet meal.

12:24 pm

liver and onions is great

12:24 pm

Careful, Hurshy, I like my Krauts, especially Saouerkraut

12:24 pm

i'm with you on that one nut, the texture is the biggest prob with on5s

12:24 pm

I like cabbage. Well the way I make it anyway. : )

12:24 pm

Sounds like we all agree -- hotdogs by themselves are NOT palatable

12:24 pm

and mushrooms, texture, ick.

12:24 pm

hot dogs are scary, made from worms i heard

12:24 pm

and I love red cabbage

12:24 pm

Hi, again, all!

12:24 pm

hey ping and yay chj! nut...i just sent myself and e-mail that was meant for you....what am i doing here today?

12:24 pm

Babbler, back when I ate meat and organ meats, I LOVED chopped liver with onions...

12:24 pm

gwenski You've got two very clever huskies. Who did they get to teach them to fly?????!!!

12:24 pm

hiya pam

12:24 pm

People who like liver and on***s... proof that aliens live among us.

12:24 pm

hey pam, join the food fight

12:25 pm

I like cabbage too, Babbler -- especially "rotkohl" red cabbage with apples. yummy!

12:25 pm

oh my, got stuck back in the chat log with all those good clues for the long words...

12:25 pm

now down to 1 8 and 1 9 missing

12:25 pm

My Mum does something fantastic with on***s. She cuts them in slices, then pours lots of salt on them and leaves them a few hours. Then rinses them and dresses them in lemon juice. No on***-y at all! Gorgeous!

12:25 pm

hurshy, did you finish while I was gone?

12:25 pm

dunno ren, try again though!

12:25 pm

lol, of course not stid

12:25 pm

what do you need nrkii

12:25 pm

grilled on***s are wonderful, esp with steak

12:25 pm

hi pam!

12:25 pm

without the list, the end is so slow

12:26 pm

Oh my, Frances! I think I will need to update the profile! Thanks for pointing that out!

12:26 pm

chj, too many to count... hang on, will check

12:26 pm

nrkii...the 9 is person who does en7, which is prefix plus locomotive

12:26 pm

hurshy--love to join, thanks. But I will be more careful with the log...

12:26 pm

the 9 is a nice word: en + "one who instructs"

12:26 pm

i like liver and onions too (whispered)

12:26 pm

did you know, if you put too many on***s in a dish, it becomes sweet?

12:26 pm

Hello. Back again ( after a few drinks - but...crucially - NONE NEAR THE COMPUTER). Working on the RE words...

12:26 pm

gwenski Made me laugh

12:26 pm

so what is still missing?

12:26 pm

hi matty!

12:26 pm

C's R's I's T's

12:27 pm

10 of 'em. half are 6's.

12:27 pm

(I liked liver and onions when I was a child, but can't eat liver any more)

12:27 pm

thanks for the en9, I tried adding the ER ending to so many other words!

12:27 pm

you guys and gals are funny-what's missing? 81 words, lol! But who's counting?

12:27 pm

okay hurshy, *thinking*

12:27 pm

matty..am i to understand that you dont like mushrooms

12:27 pm

I'm gonna have to go shopping this week and get some liver. Got a taste for it now. : )

12:28 pm

how shall I do the onions to go with it?

12:28 pm

Ok, no more flying huskies. (But they are cute and clever!)

12:28 pm

'tis a pity, matty. I love that fungus.

12:28 pm

That would be correct, chj!

12:28 pm

gwenski Thats better - not quite so funny though

12:28 pm

there are Three IN 6

12:28 pm

ooh, it's on***s everyone!

12:28 pm

I'm not a fan of mushrooms either, Matty. : )

12:28 pm

and hursh, without cabbage, wed have no cole slaw and sauerkraut

12:28 pm

and the latest news reports about the psychedelic variety were a hoot to read!

12:28 pm

then i need one of them, stid

12:28 pm

my point exactly chj!!!!

12:29 pm

i have together and aim, goal

12:29 pm

yes, it's the third one you need, (I don't have it either), comes before the last IN 4/4

one to go, the first re8,40, just before the 4-letter word for lease

12:29 pm

go rumple go!

12:30 pm

Thanks Babbler - I'm pleased to know I@m not alone. Right - re words...

12:30 pm

sauteed mushrooms on a cheeseburger...yummie

12:30 pm

in + fork prong

12:30 pm

that's the sorry one, rumple, but with an r, instead of a p, think indiana jones and the last crusade, only the pe..... man will pass

12:30 pm

rumple -- if you are sorry for your sins, you are PE******...

12:30 pm

ty nrkii

12:30 pm

and sauerkraut on a papaya king dog..the best

12:30 pm

i'm w/ you chj and add some swiss cheese

12:30 pm

The re 8/40 - re + baby louse + the last bit of canvas shelter.

12:30 pm

and darnit, hurshy, be missing words that I'm missing too!!!

repentent

12:30 pm

thanks, nrk!

12:31 pm

Rump if you saw Raiders of the lost ark, when Harrison Ford first goes into the cave he quotes "Only the pen***** man shall pass" Change the p to an r

12:31 pm

i probably am nrkii, just not that one :)

12:31 pm

thanks, hurshy! Nice clue

12:31 pm

ren..on the dog or the burger

12:31 pm

how do you do the onions to go with liver?

12:31 pm

12:37 pm

12:38 pm

{{ch1212}} -- it's been awhile!

12:39 pm

OK, I'm rubbish. I've not got a single word since revisiting. The alcohol may have *something* to do with it...or I could just be a moron. I vote for both.

12:39 pm

re 5/10 a de niro film but change the first vowel

12:39 pm

that's a relief, GW. I've been reading about cities / towns losing electricity due to everyone's AC being on at the same time. Same thing happened in London recently. : /

12:39 pm

matty, you slay me!

12:39 pm

indeed! Good to hear your little ones are thriving, and I hope you are drinking lots of fluids and all that during your workdays.

12:39 pm

de niro? must be a boy movie

12:40 pm

deniro/japan right?

12:40 pm

matty -- stop putting yourself down -- you are a true babbler through and through --- enjoy the company even if not finding the words

12:40 pm

12:40 pm

12:40 pm

12:40 pm

ah, japan, france... whatever

12:43 pm

Hi, peri -- how have you been?

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

12:46 pm

I didn't have the last part right, after all

12:46 pm

Hey babbler -- you're another of our elders :)

12:46 pm

you're welcome nrkii; I am sure you will return the favor, many times!!!

12:46 pm

wahhoooo ch - did you find it on the msn homepage?

12:46 pm

*sniff* Rubbish I am. (Yoda I emulate)

12:46 pm

you mean my *** ocasek clue didnt help?

12:47 pm

my babble birthday is tomorrow. well, that's true for a lot of UK babblers, thanks to a mention in a Sunday paper last year.

12:47 pm

matty--have another drink. Can't hurt, right?

12:47 pm

8-)

12:47 pm

no evanonut, I meant we both joined Babble on the same day - I looked at your profile

12:48 pm

chj, it should have, I just was stuck trying to use an X for some strange reason (the nixon thing got me focused on the x, even though the points didn't work)

12:48 pm

what, our entire slate hates on***s

12:48 pm

nixon has a way of doing that...

12:48 pm

hurshy's clue was excellent as was yours, but I took a bad turn at the x

12:48 pm

LOL Pam. I've thus far had ONE sip since returning. I just HAVE to get these REs...so any help most gratefully received.

12:48 pm

no, chj, not all of us, I think babbler and I like them

12:48 pm

i suddenly have this urge to bake a peach pie

12:49 pm

I like on***s, but mostly if they're carmelized

12:49 pm

I suddenly have this urge to eat a peach pie.

12:49 pm

don't look to me, matty. y'all know that though I have been babbling for YEARS, I rarely complete a grid, i have more fun noodling and doodling

12:49 pm

peachy nut

12:49 pm

i use on5 powder so i can have the flavor without the texture...

12:49 pm

I love on***s. Love them!

12:49 pm

not to be confused with the leechi nut

12:50 pm

properly caramelised on**s are wonderful, especially with a dash of brown sugar added in

12:50 pm

WordRock - have it with ice cream : )

12:50 pm

Me. too, babbler. Garlic and shallots, ttoo. That whole family....

12:50 pm

mmmmmm.... why not? :)

12:50 pm

or the brazilnut

12:50 pm

thanks for clarifying chj

12:50 pm

MMmmm garlic! mmmmm shallots. mmmmmm!

12:50 pm

onions are wonderful in all forms

12:50 pm

i like scallions. is that the same as shallots? i'm never clear on what shallots are.

12:50 pm

MMMMMMM garlic and on5 and shallots oh my!!!! Delightful!!!

12:50 pm

I like red ones on a peanut butter sandwich.

12:50 pm

dunno but i do like garlic

12:50 pm

I thought shallots were what we call spring on5

12:50 pm

Shallots look more like garlic bulbs...

12:51 pm

one of my favorite dishes is fried green beans with garlic and onions

12:51 pm

they are, babbler

12:51 pm

oh that's right! yes I know what shallots are.

12:51 pm

scallions, leeks (anyone from wales online)

12:51 pm

my grandmere made me go on a date w/ a family friend so i took a big bite of an on*** before the date.......hahahahahahha arrrgggh!

12:51 pm

ah poo! I typed the word again!!!

12:51 pm

LOL Ren!!

12:51 pm

then i don't think i've had shallots. but i do love scallions.

12:51 pm

What are courgetttes, though? Must leave off the grid to dind out...

12:51 pm

ren said a word

12:51 pm

Are we eating carmalized on5 with ice cream?

12:51 pm

With peach pie, evidently.

12:52 pm

courgette = zucchini

12:52 pm

I did it earlier, GW, don't worry. I don't know why we don't just all type it in full. It's not like no one knows it's there, LOL

12:52 pm

no musicmom - peach pie and ice cream!

12:52 pm

wow I just got the 10 so much easier than I thought

12:52 pm

courgette is certainly a prettier word than zucchini

12:52 pm

ye can walk the plank chj

12:52 pm

Thanks, bonkler@

12:52 pm

Pam - courgettes = zuccini

12:52 pm

ypsi... sorry about before :(

12:52 pm

Ohhhh I want peach pie and ice cream. YUMMY!!!!

12:52 pm

I love garlic I could it it whole(but I don't)

12:53 pm

thanks, babbler

12:53 pm

because we are trying to be considerate of the other players who dont chat with us, Bab

12:53 pm

I roast garlic whole and eat it

12:53 pm

glug...glug...glug

12:53 pm

no reason hursh! ;)

12:53 pm

shorty, I think I saw a recipe for gazpacho the other day and I think it said you crush raw onions into it. The whole thing wasn't cooked at all!

12:53 pm

phantom--honor

12:53 pm

OH I should try that!

12:53 pm

lara seemed upset, convey my apologies? i only meant it as a gentle suggestion...

12:53 pm

shorty -- an old Italian folk cure for a cold is to eat a clove of raw garlic with a shot of lemon juice It works!!

12:53 pm

I have a tub of Starbucks Coffee Ice Cream in the freezer, if anyone's interested. All this talk of ice cream...

12:54 pm

i think i'd rather have the cold, GW :)

12:54 pm

yup, I have Mackie's vanilla ice cream in my freezer. Anybody?

12:54 pm

mmmmmmmmm I will try that the next time I get a cold

12:54 pm

GW - you're right. garlic will kill just about any bug. It's another superfood. (along with on5, cabbages etc)

12:55 pm

hursh -- I thought the same when I first heard it, but the garlic burns a little but the lemon juice kills the odor

12:55 pm

oh we know... we just got to babbling on because she's my best friend/cousin and lives 750 miles away

12:55 pm

I have cookies and cream ice cream

12:55 pm

yeah, i didn't think it was, like wrong of you guys, or anything, it was certainly understandable

12:56 pm

and I got her hooked on this game so it's fun when we are both on at the same time

12:57 pm

i STILL cannot find one of the re5/10, my monkeys are going to get fired soon.

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

this sound eerily familiar...

12:59 pm

Four, surely. One that sounds like a German name (but spelled differently), one I don't have, Another I don't have, and anotehr I don't have...

12:59 pm

no, only 4 re 5/10 that I see

12:59 pm

Only four.

12:59 pm

no there are only 4 re's

12:59 pm

1:47 pm

This game is pretty good today.

1:47 pm

1:47 pm

Hey folks. got a cooking question, maybe one of you can help -- Kirsten wants to try a recipe that calls for sake as one of the ingredients.

1:47 pm

1:48 pm

1:48 pm

i got one GW. pour sake in a pan, cook stuff in it.

1:48 pm

Lots a good and easy words.

1:48 pm

1:48 pm

hello everybody!

1:48 pm

ax-5-20?

1:48 pm

rice vinegar

1:48 pm

oh i see, you don't have sake

I'll call her woulf

1:48 pm

hey mcnugget

1:48 pm

sake is a wine woulf. so maybe another type of wine.

1:49 pm

hey ya twinkie toes fran

1:49 pm

Hi FranMag

1:49 pm

Hi Fran...

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

1:51 pm

By Pam

1:51 pm

sha... ax + charged partical

1:51 pm

hahahaha fran! it was a passing glance - you sweetie you!

1:51 pm

according to my theory, developed in my undergraduate research, everyone has a dessert pouch. no matter how full you are, you can always fit in some dessert, because the dessert pouch is inaccessible to other food. my friend chewy added the corollary theorem that some people have a chicken mcnugget pouch.

1:51 pm

or ax + rhymes with thing ben franklin flew

1:51 pm

chic -- it is a recipe from Iron Chef that we got in the cable mailer for nikujaga -- a stewed potato and meat dish

its a miracle actually knew that one

1:52 pm

lol ren!

1:52 pm

thanx

1:52 pm

I suggest either another good white wine or chicken stock....GW

1:52 pm

*considers changing her screenname to crazyANDstupid*

1:52 pm

1 left, and I may need help

1:53 pm

go nrkii, that was fast!

1:53 pm

1:53 pm

yay nrk!!!

1:54 pm

hi nut!!

1:54 pm

ren -- recipe calls for beef but we will may use pork

1:54 pm

hooray for nrkii!!!!

1:54 pm

yes i did, Ping -- thanks -- wrestling with seb right now while typing

1:54 pm

oh except i can't because i earlier instructed everyone not to believe anyone claiming to be hurshy, since i planned on never using any alternate names.

1:54 pm

not nut, hurshy, some troll stole my password...get the hurshy imposter!

1:54 pm

excellent woulf, you'll be creating a whole new dish... pork not beef, sherry not sake...

1:54 pm

that was during the toesockmunkey fiasco.

1:55 pm

so it'll be babble stew?

1:55 pm

hurray for nrkii!! I am still far away,....

1:55 pm

Congrats Nrkii.

1:55 pm

beginning to look that way ren, though I have no sherry either

1:55 pm

nutty nut

1:55 pm

mmmmm... babble stew

1:55 pm

GW, Carrie (seb's friend) is not a crawler but is somehow moving up the stair toward me - hmmmm

1:55 pm

chat

1:55 pm

trolls talking to me!!!

1:56 pm

that's what we look like today!

1:56 pm

nut thinks i'm a troll? :(

1:56 pm

yes, ren, but no babble stew I'd ever eat

1:56 pm

stop it hurshy imposter!

1:56 pm

lol nrkii!

1:56 pm

well, in that case, babble stew would be pretty gross... asparagus and peppers in a decaffenated coffee base

1:56 pm

pirate onions! didn't think it was possible!

1:57 pm

with some swordfish and chicken mcnuggets on the side

1:57 pm

leslie ann, with big chunks of swordfish

hoping to find a decent single woman...maybe my standards are too high

1:57 pm

w/ swordfish, cabbage, liver and kidneys

1:57 pm

Don't forget the evil caraway seeds!

1:57 pm

eeuuuwwww! Leslieann!

1:57 pm

and evil caraaway seeds for seasoing!

1:57 pm

hey now, maybe the caraway will make it so so so bad it'll be good

1:58 pm

ew, eating babble stew should be a stunt on fear factor

1:58 pm

Not possible

1:58 pm

lets submit it leslie!

1:58 pm

thought it was evilolive ren

1:58 pm

lol fran! do you like it!

2:08 pm

I'll take a clue for the an8 (or the word! :) )

2:08 pm

Fran, they wouldn't pick on you if they didn't love you.

2:09 pm

suddenly i feel hope that i might actually *improve* in my babble skills

2:10 pm

Is my brain on an away-day or is this a nasty grid? I'm struggling on78.

2:11 pm

nasty grid. which one, jfb?

2:11 pm

it is a tricksy grid, JFB

2:11 pm

okay, done inputting words, that will not happen again! i still need 52 words, but does anyone need clues?

2:11 pm

an8?

2:12 pm

Fran -- we are pretty close -- I have 54 to go -- but I am gonna have to go out in a few mins and come back to finish later

2:13 pm

linky thing?? a technical term i am not familiar with LOL

2:13 pm

like a ch*** necklace, aknitter

2:13 pm

Thanks hurshy.

2:13 pm

aknitter, the 10 could be defined as within a linked thing

2:13 pm

2:14 pm

inter

2:14 pm

drat my scientific jargon, it's always ruining my clues

2:14 pm

Have fun, Babblers..off to the lake...I'll check back later and see if Fran left more words for me. :)

2:17 pm

WIsh we had some..don't feel like swimming today.

2:18 pm

later krista!

wish i had a pool to swim ..i wouldnt ever be on here

2:18 pm

Bye Fran! Bye all.

2:18 pm

poor krista, too bad about that Ordinance 656-5827b: All citizens of this town must swim every day unless it's raining.

temp went from 100 to 91 in last hour

2:19 pm

LOL, Hurshy. It

2:19 pm

shoot - sorry - it's more like we haven't taken the kids to the lake once, and it will be closed after Labor Day. >:(

2:19 pm

Hi all...I like today's theme! I have to say, I like asparagus and mcnuggets though.

2:20 pm

When we have the best weather for swimming, I might add.

2:20 pm

why closed after labor day?

2:20 pm

hi erin!

2:20 pm

is yours cilantro?

2:20 pm

It's another town ordinance: pools open Memorial Day and close Labor Day

2:21 pm

i think parsley

2:21 pm

hi fran! *grabs a mcnugget...yes, I can't stand cilantro

2:21 pm

parsley doesn't taste like anything

2:21 pm

it'd be like hating water

2:21 pm

oh nvm... regardless, lots of green food dislike today

2:21 pm

But cilantro tastes like dish detergent.

2:22 pm

lol gwenski

2:22 pm

lol!

2:22 pm

eminently hatable then

2:22 pm

It's a state park, just their policy. I just looked at your bio, Hurshy - you listed three of my fave movies..Princess Bride, Clueless, and MC Vinny. Good taste. ;)

2:22 pm

hi again!

2:22 pm

hey twin!

2:22 pm

hey annie

2:22 pm

hi annie!

2:22 pm

Ooh - more important than a town ordinance! It's a state ordinance!

2:23 pm

ren, do you and annie have the same birthday?

2:23 pm

Yep! And woe to the National Park patron....

2:23 pm

nope fran - we are discriminated against equally

2:23 pm

*takes a McNugget*

2:24 pm

Do you have barbecue sauce, Fran?

2:24 pm

cilantro...it makes your teeth turn green cilantro...it tastes like ivory(n) cilantro...go trash it pronto cilantro, trash pronto, today

2:24 pm

oh, must have missed that conversation, must have interesting.

2:24 pm

never barbecue sauce, hot mustard

2:24 pm

hi all na4/4 and na 6/18 please

2:25 pm

na4/4 - vowels, lots of vowels (it's a frequent babblet, greek temple)

2:25 pm

hurshy, haiku

2:25 pm

seano, it's a babblet, n + 3 vowels

2:25 pm

na6 country

2:25 pm

mustard w/ cilantra and sereno peppers

2:25 pm

na 6/18, on na**** under god

2:26 pm

cilantro is most displeasing to friend erin too detergenty

2:26 pm

Sounds good, ren..I must admit, all these hated foods are among my favorites (except for the nuggets)

2:26 pm

How about the ca7's?

2:26 pm

i eat cilantro straight from the jar

2:26 pm

wow!

2:26 pm

good haiku

2:27 pm

whatever annie wants, annie gets

2:27 pm

thanks for them...

2:27 pm

don't have those yet gwenski!

2:27 pm

i grow clintra t and eat it...yummy it's part of the traditional food group in texas

2:27 pm

cilantro from the jar? What jar?

2:27 pm

hi nut, and thank you, hurshy

2:27 pm

the ca7's are latin plurals

2:27 pm

the one i buy it in, i don't grow it

Renfield - you mean coriander? (To us expats?)

2:28 pm

opps...i guess it would help if i could spell it!

2:28 pm

the ca6's they go with are like the place where all the boats are kept but start with c instead of m

2:28 pm

ooo, controversy...maybe I can find another hated food.

2:28 pm

yes corriander!

2:28 pm

Matty, here coriander is the seed, and cilantro the leaves.

2:28 pm

Darn. Well, then, how bout clues for the ca6's that then get pluraled latinly?

2:28 pm

no the twin means cilantro, we definitely are not, ir repeat, not identical

2:28 pm

and *** ** * hot tin roof, but change the o to e

2:28 pm

here is the def for one ca7: A closely linked series, especially of excerpted writings or commentaries

2:28 pm

no of course not erin. you just post a food *you* ha**.

2:29 pm

you see both of those ca6 clues gwenski?

2:29 pm

no controversy erin! part of the babble stew!

2:29 pm

thanks hursh!

I know. It's funny. Ya see...I'm American. My passport says so and everything. But I left the States on my 20th birthday. So to me, it's rocket, not arugula (or whatever.) and coriander, not cilantro.

2:29 pm

what leslie said!

2:29 pm

Yes, thanks. Got 'em. Just a bit impatient. SOrry

I never worried about coriander when I was 17!

2:30 pm

oh it's ok, just wanted to make sure

2:30 pm

Just like my husband, Matty, he left here at 17, was in England until age 33. It took me forever to figure out what rocket was!

2:31 pm

3:27 pm

oh, sorry to hear that chj :( you didn't drown her in a canal, did you?

3:28 pm

Well, actually I kinda monkeyed the 6 just before you clued it, but the clue still helped with the 7

3:28 pm

yankees are up 5-1 in the bottom of the ninth

3:28 pm

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

Flask1 There isn't an ex9

3:30 pm

3:30 pm

you're right....my mistake....thanks!

3:30 pm

Bye all. Must stop for now, just needing 6 more. Thanks for all the help.

3:31 pm

maybe you could be friends with my uncle, he's a very active 50-something professor of music in colorado. it's not the same as a lady friend, but, it's better than nothing

3:31 pm

Bye gwenski

3:31 pm

i also love trekking..one of my todos ids to trek the haute route from chamonix to zermatt via the huts..and also to climb the matterhorn some day

3:31 pm

later gwenski

3:32 pm

my uncle did an andes hike over christmas last year, and he's climbed all the fourteeners in colorado. he is a very good ski racer

3:32 pm

ren, the yes channel. which is the yankee channel, which im sure isnt available in houston

3:32 pm

he's the best trivial pursuit player i know, he plays tenor banjo, trumpet, and piano...

3:33 pm

greetings all :)

3:33 pm

i drove to the top of a 14er, mount evans, which is just outside of denver

3:33 pm

he jogs 10 miles a day and he's very good looking (if there are any 35-40ish active women listening, who live out westish, let me try to hook you up?)

3:33 pm

cant be better than me at trivial pursuit...or jeopardy

3:34 pm

wanna bet? i bet you guys would really enjoy being friends either way! :)

3:34 pm

there must be a catch hurshy... is there anything else we should know...?

3:34 pm

hey sherb!!!

3:34 pm

rennie!!!

3:35 pm

he has a cat and a dog, no catch, honest, he's a really great guy, and if you are really wanting kids and getting to "that age" and fearing you won't have them, well, he's feeling the same way

3:35 pm

do you have any good looking sisters, aunts or female cousins

3:35 pm

he's divorced, but only cause his wife was crazy and left him (years ago).

3:35 pm

i do have good looking female relatives but they are all taken :(

3:36 pm

:-(

3:36 pm

oh, my uncle has been a little depressed since he had a skiing accident, his wife left, and his cat died, all in the same year, but a good new relationship could clear that right up!

3:37 pm

sorry chj :( but babble is mostly female, you don't need my relatives to find somebody :)

3:37 pm

what did he do..a sonny bono

3:37 pm

maybe you should get him to play Babble and we could get to know him better...

3:37 pm

yes, but most are married

3:37 pm

sonny died......

3:37 pm

mmm, i'm young, i know sonny bono was with cher, but i don't know what else he did

3:38 pm

good idea sherb

3:38 pm

I was thinking that too...

3:38 pm

if my uncle DIED i would not be trying to find him a gal!

3:38 pm

he skied into a tree and killed himself

3:38 pm

yes, i have to get him to babble. i think he would like it.

3:38 pm

no in my uncle's skiing accident, he just got double vision for awhile, and i think now he has a metal plate in his skull or something

3:39 pm

someone else did that too..was it one of the kennedys?

3:39 pm

that's a catch, it would be a pain going through airport security with him

3:39 pm

yes, a kennedy, i forget which one, but they were like, playing football on skis or something really stupid like that

3:39 pm

who died? or got a metal plate?

3:39 pm

accident prone...

3:39 pm

long story ren :)

3:39 pm

we knew there had to be a catch

3:39 pm

sonny bono died. hurshy's uncle got a metal plate.

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

4:05 pm

i got a kitty on my lap. nrkii finished, i remember when she got her last word, she said she might need help but then she didn't

4:06 pm

goody - we're going to the island!

4:06 pm

yah, I had an epiphany instead

4:06 pm

nrkii..how about the sunday times

4:06 pm

ok chj, i emailed my uncle paul about you so maybe he'll email you!

4:07 pm

islands..good place for pirates

4:07 pm

ax5? I have the nuclear one, could use the other

4:07 pm

thanks hursh

4:07 pm

oh, haven't gotten to it chj... the blog takes so much time -- can't wait till I know what I'm doing more, so I can hopefully do my entries a little more quickly... today trying to figure out how to put copyright tags on the site...ugh

4:07 pm

seems like the ch4 log has a pirate theme today

4:07 pm

I'm too lazy to even attempt to blog.

4:08 pm

I'm annoyed because yesterday I found the PERFECT pirate icon for ren, and now I don't remember where it was!

4:08 pm

in 5/7 combo??

4:08 pm

I have already got that one, it is the other ar5/12

4:08 pm

leslieann, still, and stillness

4:08 pm

jane, ax + go fly a k***?

4:08 pm

in 7 could also be laziness

4:09 pm

thanks nrkii

4:09 pm

ren8, both were clued, the other one is ar + head covering.

4:09 pm

thanks la!

4:09 pm

nrkii...where it says "posted by nrkii" why not change it "Copyright (C in a circle) by nrkii"

4:10 pm

yeah, you can get the C in a circle from the Symbol font in character map (accessories)

4:10 pm

thank you, just realised that now you have said it again franmag, cheers

4:10 pm

hmmmm, would it be that simple? just put that on every post?

4:10 pm

no worries ren8! :-)

4:11 pm

well i don't know if it's official but it's like putting a burglar alarm sticker on your window even w/o an alarm - it does SOME good

4:11 pm

xe 5/22? can't monkey to save my life...

4:11 pm

x + **** the Red

4:11 pm

and can "nrkii" have copyright? or does it have to be Nancy?

4:11 pm

or a BEWARE OF CAT sign

4:11 pm

(sorry, for those of you who were subjected to my copyright questions last night too!)

4:11 pm

leslie, has to do with dry climates

4:11 pm

there was a ruling in 1998 on internet property. i think you could find it in a search or perhaps chj can remember it.

4:11 pm

im no copyright expert (took a course on the then new copyright act of 1976 in law school), but that should give you some protection

4:12 pm

thanks folks

4:12 pm

search for creative commons license (or something like that)

4:12 pm

sorry, i dont but i could do a little research

4:12 pm

that last post was for nrk.

4:13 pm

I found the creative commons license, that's what I'm struggling with now... it's cool and easy, except for the stupid formatting

4:13 pm

or you could put up a thing that says "DON'T STEAL MY WORDS YOU BIG MEANIES OR I'LL GET MY BROTHER AFTER YOU", and then put up a pic of some really scary looking guy

4:13 pm

hurshy, LOL, I like that best

4:13 pm

I could post mean pictures of my brothers too, that might make it even more convincing

4:13 pm

my last one, tr5/12, any clues please

4:13 pm

a scary looking pirate would be better

4:14 pm

tr + take a role in a movie or play

4:14 pm

ren8, tr*** housing

4:14 pm

160 acres is a sizeable tr5/12 of land

4:15 pm

(notice how nrkii shies away from the real definition, brain being mushy today...)

4:15 pm

cheers everyone, much appreciated

4:15 pm

aren't brains mushy every day?

4:15 pm

4:25 pm

that's good nrkii... I got two, just in case...

4:30 pm

nrkii..i was distracted for a bit, but i just went back over the chat from 10 minutes ago and realized that you asked a good question about whether the copyright notice had to use your real name or whether nrkii was ok? dont know the answer off hand, but typically the notice uses a the copyright holders name or the name of a corporation; perhaps if nrkii were a trademark...i just dont know...ill see what i can find out

4:31 pm

Is anyone else having trouble entering words -- keep getting the nasty red bar.

4:31 pm

not right now cybernan!

4:31 pm

no problems here cybernan

4:33 pm

4:37 pm

4:38 pm

ta 6/18, think of the fits that little kids throw, then make a sort of latin plural of that

4:39 pm

thanks nrk! just found the first one myself.

4:39 pm

phew, because I was struggling with how to clue it

4:39 pm

on that first one, make a latin plural for the 7

4:39 pm

good afternoon all

4:40 pm

hi klaurel

4:40 pm

how bad is it today?

4:40 pm

no curtis, was having trouble clueing the other one

4:40 pm

4:41 pm

no no, the first ta 6/18... but no matter, cuz frannie found it

4:41 pm

oh good fran

4:41 pm

I hate it when I do that

4:42 pm

I don't mind if people call me nancy but I don't know if others are sensitive about it

4:42 pm

ta + x**** ohio

4:42 pm

there's a town called x**** in ohio?

4:42 pm

i think so

4:43 pm

right chj, that's a clue everyone can get...not! :-)

4:43 pm

I was going to go for ta + g***e in the bottle, + vowel

4:43 pm

I'm not sensitive about you being called Nancy, nrk...

4:43 pm

sooooorrrrrry

4:43 pm

well the x**** is a word in the grid, i suppose you could use that in the clue.

4:43 pm

thanks sherb, preciate it

4:43 pm

ta + short dash + **mbic pentameter

4:44 pm

lol

4:44 pm

4:45 pm

4:45 pm

thanks nrkii phew

4:45 pm

4:46 pm

4:46 pm

4:46 pm

i cant decide which i like more... solving the puzzle or thinking up clever clues

4:47 pm

no sherb

4:47 pm

i know what you mean chj, cluing is a lot of fun for me too.

4:47 pm

4:47 pm

i think youre right

4:48 pm

Thanks, FranMag

4:48 pm

well, yes, we know each other from another blog..but not in pw\erson

4:48 pm

sherb, chj and I have chatted on a blog in the past, which is how I found another blog that led me to babble...

4:48 pm

we met doing the starbucks ultimate crossword puzzle challenge

4:48 pm

then I told the blog folks about babble, and managed to drag chj over to the dark side

4:48 pm

oooh, fond memories of the starbuck ultimate crossword puzzle challenge...

4:49 pm

i wondered about that since chj talked about that as well.

4:49 pm

sherb, a couple people I recommended it to came and didn't like it... with my mother, I told her to stay far far away, but she came anyways... she is better than me though, as she feels no compunction to get every word and just stops when she gets bored

5:33 pm

these C words are driving me nuts :)

5:34 pm

thnaks lmust

Sorry, peri, the other ca 6 is the ca 7/32 minus the final vowel

5:35 pm

peri, first ch6/24, use AE in the middle

5:39 pm

Fran, can't figure out how to spell the "cat"

5:40 pm

5:40 pm

stid, like a chemical compound containing rodents?

5:40 pm

Fran, can't figure out how to spell the "cat"

5:40 pm

peri , the cat who is also a DC villian, but change the first e and drop the last letter

5:40 pm

5:44 pm

klaurel, it's the flower of the lehua tree, it's hawaiian

5:44 pm

klaurel, sounds like a cross between the tea at starbucks and italian 'bye

5:44 pm

5:45 pm

6:26 pm

Stid, just looked at your profile. Now I know why you're the best--You and my second son share the same birthday.

hi Fran

6:30 pm

hi Kenny

6:30 pm

I managed to finish, with a lot of hand-holding (as usual). this was not an easy grid. harder because when I would go away and come back words would disappear from my list...

6:31 pm

hi kenny!

6:31 pm

Congrats, stidmama

6:31 pm

thanks, Nan, will go look at it soon. I went with my mother and boys to meet hetty and Jillibus last month!

Right, as always. Gorgeous late summer New England. August can be the best month here...or the worst. Today was textbook beautiful.

hi Annie

6:31 pm

Where was that?

6:32 pm

sorry, i was talking to everyone and then my computer started it's mysterious "every four hours i'm going to do something that keeps fran from babbling" thing.

That doesn't sound good, stid. Today's grid has been gruesome for me too, although nothing's disappeared.

Are you feeling better, btw?

6:32 pm

11:01 pm

Flask, Dear Enemy is sort of a sequel, but in many ways a better book

11:01 pm

Nef.... but did you enter them on Babble... try refresh... or go off and reenter

11:01 pm

I must look for it......books are a passion of mine!

11:01 pm

11:02 pm

godfather ii is now in little italy when de niro as vito corleone will cross the rooftops to kill the local don..it was filmed on thompson street in soho when i was living there in the 70's...i remeber the scenes of the italian street festival being filmed...you can walk down some of those streets today and it still looks like the early 1900's

11:02 pm

you can actually read Dear Enemy online -- I found it there yesterday and reread it, even though I have the hard copy

11:02 pm

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

Stay as sweet as you are, cybernan, don't let a thing ever change you--.

11:29 pm

11:29 pm

on 7 first number + straight vowel + *** ocasek

in10 is a composite; add ch5 to in5

11:30 pm

in10 in5/10 + ch5/14

11:30 pm

thx - glad i asked!

11:30 pm

in10 = prefix for between and *****link fence or ch5/14

11:30 pm

you may think i'm delirious

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

in10 bury + what an anchor is connected to

11:30 pm

very nice drawing ren!

11:31 pm

correction -- that was easier than I thought -- got my dragon.

11:31 pm

thanks alot chj!

11:31 pm

OK, the fence clue does not make sense to me since there is not N next to the C.

11:32 pm

is that a snapdragon?

11:32 pm

I also offered instead ch5/14

11:32 pm

boa, the first half is a 5-letter prefix that means between (like in***national)

11:32 pm

in 10: between prefix + gold link necklace

11:32 pm

that's why I couldn't find it, kept entering snapdragon lol
