Hey Dilly, a book we recently read!!

12:35 am

ooh, I really like him too, helen!

12:36 am

ca8/50 past tense of ca6/21

ca, but aix beat me to it.

12:36 am

wow une! he's not very well known, but i just love his stuff, there's something about it because overall not greatly fond of that style - but his works just speak to me :)

12:36 am

thanks, Une

12:36 am

i also have an an8, past tense of an6/30

12:37 am

sorry, melon!

12:37 am

12:39 am

thanks, roc

roc tx for the an8

12:41 am

I have NOT got those 8s and feel dumb

12:41 am

Whoa, let's form the Odilon Redon fan club!!!

12:41 am

I'm in, Erda!

12:42 am

erda said a word! LOL

12:42 am

thx erda

12:42 am

I know someone in San Francisco who actually has one of his paintings...

12:42 am

i'm in too - i even have a tee-shirt with a spider on the shoulder!

12:42 am

ohmygod, very impressive!

12:42 am

really erda - what does it look like?

12:43 am

thanks for the word erda, didn't think to use it as a grid word!

12:43 am

(erda knows someone very, very wealthy!)

12:43 am

It's just a still life -- not one of the major items...still very nice!!

12:44 am

Once I came upon a blue Picasso madonna over someone's mantelpiece, also in San Francisco, and I almost fainted...

12:45 am

hi everyone! Whose paintings are you talking about? (It's scrolled off the 'Chatterbox' panel and I don't know how to find it. Thanks!

12:45 am

past the half way mark -- time to hit the sack -- see you tomorrow :)

12:45 am

good night nan! see you tomorrow

12:45 am

me to cnan, night everyone

12:45 am

about 15 years ago, i was tempted to buy a picasso sketch - a very, very rudimentary sketch, at a contemp. art show here, for $3000

12:45 am

One of the French Symbolists, Odilon Re***

12:45 am

erda runs with the big dogs!

12:45 am

only time that happened to me was when i was working in Paris and a friend had a very wealthy uncle and aunt who'd made a fortune in morel mushrooms and had SEVERAL works by "known" artists--took my breath away!

12:46 am

Oh, thanks, Erda! I didn't even realize it was a clue!

12:46 am

n ite, cybernan

12:46 am

wow une - i've only ever seen museum pieces in museums!

12:46 am

okay, I'm outta here. a tiny 146 to go tomorrow *cross eyes*

12:47 am

peon

12:47 am

pone

12:47 am

nite stid

12:47 am

The Picasso was actually in the home of Frank Oppenheimer (Robert's brother), and when I started gushing over it, his wife said: "Yes, his father had a very good eye for up-and-coming artists..."

12:47 am

now 145 to go, thanks Jill! ;-)

12:47 am

uh oh - sorry!

12:47 am

nite stid - and yw :(

12:48 am

i would have been in major gush mode in that situation too, erda!

12:48 am

lol - wow erda! so tell us a little more about yourself . . .

12:48 am

I always wondered where that madonna ended up...

12:49 am

I am an opera and classical music person, currently retired. Had a friend who was a nuclear physicist -- hence the Oppenheimer connection.

12:50 am

thought maybe you yourself were the physicist

did you sing, Erda? Is it Erda as in the Ring Cycle?

12:50 am

oh no -- conversation between the two men went whizz over my head...

12:51 am

Yes, melon, a major Wagner fan here...

12:52 am

NDidn't sing. Was editor of the San Francisco Opera magazine for 20 years. Accumulated a lot of knowledge there and that's why they called me Erda...

12:53 am

sigfried was the first opera i ever saw

I played opera here in Cleveland for over 20 years. We did Meistersinger in 1995, I think. It was the only Western hemisphere production that year.

12:54 am

does anyone have the third eight? not the an or the ca?

12:54 am

Geez, that's a difficult start. It's probably my favorite Ring opera.

The worst thing about playing it - counting all the &*(*&% rests!

12:54 am

I'm a fan of "What's Opera, Doc?" by Warner Brothers.. also like real opera, but have minimal exposure. Nice to meet you, Erda!

12:54 am

next i saw denise graves in carmen - that one kept me awake - lol

My favorite opera is Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" - believe it or not, for a bassist, it's harder than wagner. The 2nd act finale is 12 pages of nonstop allegro.

12:55 am

Nice to meet you too, Neil

elp.. dont have the first two 8's

12:56 am

neil, if i were in SF right now, I'd be looking for Chorus Line tix!

12:56 am

The second act finale is one of the glories of western civilization

12:56 am

what's the 3rd 8?

Weirdest Opera experience - actually 2 of them: Playing Schoenberg's "Moses & Aron" @ Univ of Cincinnati. Then there was Staurt Copeland's "Holy Blood & Crescent Moon".

whats the first two 8's?

12:57 am

if only i knew, roc. can clue the an/8 and ca/8 if needed.

back to Mozart - yes, Erda, exactly.

12:57 am

except i'm not very good at clues!

12:57 am

elphaba, fabulous icon!

12:57 am

thanks!

12:57 am

Une... I saw Chorus Line at its London premiere (yes, I'm that old). I have been seriously considering buying tix for the current SF run.

12:58 am

those two are weird indeed, melon!! Tough and weird...

12:58 am

let's not talk "old"--I saw it SEVERAL times in its first incarnation! :-)

roc can u clue an/8 and cn/8

12:58 am

Gotta run -- I'll try this thing again tomorrow. Thanks for the chat...

12:58 am

crazy, both are past tense of 6 letter words

12:59 am

bye fellow art lover!

12:59 am

hello, just got the op8/50 on a guess.. it's two words...

bye, Erda - it was nice talking opera.

ty chic :)

1:00 am

cool. thx chic

1:00 am

thanks chic! that did it.

1:00 am

51 to go

219 to go

1:01 am

crud, i just realized that e in the upper left has nine words. drat those vowel words! always stumping me.

86 to go

i suck

1:02 am

hey there's a chinese word in here

got the last 8 - tx chic!

1:03 am

those of you who use lickety's clues ... do you type things in here and then there? do you have a system for 'em? it seems like a lot of double typing, but i wonder if i'm doing it wrong.

oooh - & that got me to haslfway! thasitimouttahere! 'nite, laila tov, all.

1:03 am

night, melon!

1:03 am

laila tov melon - gnight all - see you tomorrow

finally got that an8

good nite melon

1:04 am

elphaba, I'm sure everybody uses the lists differently but I try to find all the words I can first and then print out the list and fill it in from there...

1:05 am

thanks, chic. printing does seem like it would help.

1:06 am

i don't type in all the words but sometimes it turns out to be plenty when i need to try to narrow down my search alphabetically

i pull up lickey's clues on a separate window - i use the "rpintable clues" option. then i make that window really tall & skinny so it's always in view. I even use a separate browser for them - not sure why but it works.

no elph - what i do is find all the words i can by myself then go to the list & depending on how many i need, checkmark the fewest - those i have or those i need

i don't search the owrd list bc it bores the daylights out of me.

then erase the checks when i find the words - no need to double type

i can't ytpe! 'nite!

lol mel -nite

1:08 am

thanks to all - good ideas all 'round. i've been using it letter by letter when I get fed up, but not sure how well that's working!

'nite hk - - & out...

1:09 am

g'night Une and everyone... don't know if I'll be back soon, but I do love the Babble! Cheers!

nite sf

Good morning Haz Rather a large one today.

3:15 am

Hi Haz - I have made an early start today as at home nursing our Bobby who has had his (second) operation for kneee ligament repair (yes' I can't spell that cr word!). He is a very miserable dog.

Sorry Haz :( I'll be back later Night jilli

3:27 am

I hope so. Anyway, have a good sleep jillibus and the British contingent - see you later.

3:28 am

All the Australians will be on soon ! 6.30 pm here. Now that is a scary thought.

3:28 am

think of all the lovely words you'll get, Haz, without anyone to bother you - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

3:28 am

Very reassuring, lynxxx!

3:29 am

Night jillibus (those zzzz don't fool me, you've tried that trick before) Sleep well.

3:33 am

zzzzzzo

3:34 am

Hello Munner - how are you?

3:34 am

I'm at 202 and it's 4:30 am here. Maybe I will finally fall asleep. My hands did that last word with no direction frome me.

3:35 am

Two days of steroids to avoid problems with the chemo treatment I had yesterday keeps me from sleeping. Two hours last night, but I think I can drop off now. See you all later for my last 33.

3:35 am

See you later, Munner - hope you manage to get some sleep.

3:36 am

Munner - wishing you at least 3 hours tonite - goodnite

3:36 am

Always enjoy chatting with you night owls. Too bad it's a big time difference.

3:37 am

may your recovery be expeditious and complete

3:37 am

It's a much slower pace at this time, the British are just waking up and the US folk are half-asleep. The Australians keep us on our toes!

3:38 am

Muner - just read your bio - you're doing it tough so pls keep a strong and positive mind. Been there myself and it IS amazing what they can do for you.

3:44 am

lynxxx - that e in the top corner is being very resistant to revealing any words to me. How are you getting on with it?

3:46 am

I think I've got five from there - try joining up with the co4 &5s for some

3:47 am

Thanks for the push!

3:47 am

Break time - halfway - got to carry the puppy outside!

3:48 am

Give him a cuddle from me - and I hope he gets better soon.

hello everyon!!

everyone... everyone... everyone...(practice typing)

3:48 am

Hello mrpresident! Are you well?

Hello Haz... well as a hole in the ground! and you??

3:49 am

hellooo.

3:50 am

I'm fine thanks. Doing my first run through with the grid. I suppose you're nearly done?

3:50 am

Hello scv!

I am no where near done!! first run is not my style... I like to begin at the end... habit unfortunately... and so far the T's are a b***h!!

and what is a te6/27??? is it a tactic to get people to drink tea??

3:53 am

I like to get as many words as possible, then use the list to fill in the gaps - though I go from the beginning of the alphabet. There are some nice words today.

3:54 am

I'll have to find that one. (You've given a word away, but shhhh there's nobody going to worry)

shhhh!!! *sorry*

3:57 am

I've found it, thanks to more words. They're all the rage among the tw4/8 set.

3:58 am

morning all, oh a biggie today. and so many C's !!!

3:59 am

Good morning M3. I hadn't looked properly to see how many, but you're right, lots and lots of them.

tw4/8 set?? is it something I missed in my personality??

4:00 am

hi everyone!

hello fran and M3!

4:01 am

hi mrp!

4:01 am

tw4/8 - ladies who like things to be 'nice' in a frilly, feminine sort of way. te6/27, being a table for tea, would fit right into their world.

ah!!! thank you Haz!

tits

4:03 am

pardon?

oh, sorry!! what a follow up!!

4:03 am

is anyone else finding the word input very slow?

4:03 am

tw4/8 ladies wouldn't say that word!!!

4:03 am

thanks for that te6/27 mrp and haz!

4:04 am

You're welcome FranMag.

oh Haz, I am definitely not a TW!!

4:04 am

Hi all! It's slow for me too, Fran

4:04 am

hi amanda!

4:04 am

me as well.

4:04 am

Good morning amandacath.

4:05 am

hiya everyone

4:05 am

tw4/8 is a interesting word!

4:05 am

hi jen!

4:06 am

I must be getting better at this i had 3 7's in a row yeah, i remember seeing 7's at one point and kringing

4:06 am

Do you not use tw4/8 very much? We would use it to describe a style of decorating or dressing - it's very useful!

4:08 am

i've seen it in the grids, but didn't know what it meant until now. i've never heard it in a conversation!

4:08 am

Hello Jencatd - sorry to miss you there.

4:08 am

only time I use tw4/8 is to tell the owner what the cat went up

4:08 am

No worries, Haz. ^^

4:09 am

cute byz!

4:12 am

Morning/evening Haz, Fran, mrp and all. I think 235 are just a few too many for me. 20odd re's, millions of c's - it would become a chore (?) rather than a pleasure

4:12 am

hi exwren!

morning ExWren!! et al

4:13 am

Hello ex-Wren. You can visit us throughout the day to keep up morale.

only a handful of stupid C's... the t's are dumb!! and apparently over nice at the same time!

4:13 am

the c's are gonna drive me bonkers. all roads lead to the same words, at least for me. i guess im too tired.

4:14 am

Oh yes, I will be calling on you from time to time

scv, you ca4 give up!!

4:15 am

How can you get over 40 words from that single 'c'?

4:16 am

there are 2

you could always just say ci4 to the grid and go italian style!!

oh I will just shut up now! :D

4:18 am

ok, i've read that four times and i still dont understand what it means.

4:18 am

I hadn't seen the Italian word, so keep going mrpresident!

4:18 am

OH

4:18 am

4:18 am

4:18 am

4:35 am

:Dispute :Dispute :Dispute !!! the more I type it, the stupider the word looks! It isn't in the dictionary cause it aint in the grid :D

4:35 am

The past tense of cast is cast.

4:41 am

And was the same conclusion reached, scv?

4:42 am

4:42 am

alea iacta est

4:42 am

MrP, do you mean re5/18 and 6/30, or do I need a second damp re?

4:44 am

4:45 am

Feed them mrpresident. You know it makes sense.

4:48 am

Hi everyone, boy, I'm struggling to reach the halfway mark today. Words are not popping out.

4:51 am

ac7/36 please?

4:51 am

Good morning PappouTed.

4:51 am

Hi haz, I only have a few minutes left before I have to start getting ready for work. Today's the 2nd day of school.

4:52 am

ac plus no4/5 for ac6 then pluralise.

4:53 am

I take it you're a teacher, then PappouTed? The start of term is always very busy.

4:53 am

2nd day of school already? terrible!

4:53 am

I need two more j's - any idea what I'm missing?

4:54 am

We start early in Florida

4:54 am

4:54 am

4:54 am

amanda - I'm distinctly lacking in the j department.

4:54 am

Amandacath - ji4.9 - 3 vowels

4:55 am

ac6 please?

4:55 am

4:55 am

see clue from Haz at 4.52

4:56 am

oh..whopps..i meant the other one please?

4:56 am

thats strange. isn't that a more touristy thing than a local thing? or is it normal to visit regularly if you're in the area?

4:56 am

There's another ac6 that I have - ac6/21 - add plural of what Americans call ca**.

4:57 am

ac5/12 is the singular. (ac plus half of Belgian boy detective)

4:58 am

ac5/12 - if thespians went on strike, they might have one of these

4:58 am

je 5/30 ?

4:58 am

thanks lynxxx! that was the last J i needed.

4:58 am

M3 - yucky word for bargaining down the price

5:00 am

I have never heard of the word being used in that way!

5:00 am

...which I'd never heard until I moved to the Deep South, might I add

5:00 am

amanda sorry still can find it!!

5:01 am

rhymes with what you did with your teeth

5:01 am

Well, I have 130 words to go. It will give me something to do tonight. Think positive thoughts that none of my kinders will cry today.

5:01 am

Make a past tense of the nationality.

5:01 am

6:01 am

6:01 am

6:03 am

6:03 am

I've got to 162, have now filled in the list and will fill in the gaps later.

6:03 am

6:04 am

i got to 184 so far, going to the list now.

6:05 am

Alex, have you just started?

6:05 am

6:06 am

Good Morning Everyone!!

6:06 am

235

6:06 am

good morning , peri.

6:07 am

so-so, Fran. So far I've been able to find everything by adding up the values, but I'm only up to the ca's...

6:07 am

and everyone else. ;-)

6:07 am

Morning Peri!

6:07 am

only another 150+ to go

6:07 am

hi peri!

6:07 am

good day!

6:07 am

hi wolvie!

6:08 am

morning, Fran - nice grid today. Small one yesterday.

6:08 am

I'm taking a break - back later.

6:08 am

this one is definitely tougher than yesterday.

6:08 am

later haz!

6:09 am

hi cliffopa!

6:09 am

Anyone know what the 8's start with?

6:10 am

its been quite a while since i attempted to complete a grid this large.

6:10 am

I let out a big le sigh that it wasn't 300 words - those can take awhile. :-)

6:11 am

Peri - a, c, o for the 8's

6:13 am

thanks amanda, clues please

6:14 am

I an8 your question, the horse ca8 - working on the o....

6:14 am

The O has to do with mining.

6:15 am

thanks amanda, Sue will search for the O, thanks

6:15 am

Hi Sue! Is that what it means?

6:16 am

I have the o8, just trying to think of a clue that won't spell it out

6:16 am

Hi Amanda. Yes - some mining was done this way - on the surface - and other mining was down a shaft.

6:17 am

amanda, I will take the clue that spells out the O :-)

6:17 am

oh, is it the same as strip-mining?

6:17 am

ahhh - different than most of us WV folks remember the term. Still works.

6:17 am

what is the second letter of the o8 pease

6:18 am

I'm sure you would Peri, but that's no fun! Unshut Samsonite?

6:18 am

Amanda - yes!

6:18 am

op** + ca**

6:18 am

good day everyone!

6:18 am

Evening Everyone

6:18 am

well, that was a new word for me (the op 8/50)!

6:19 am

Evening!

6:19 am

nasty thing, that sort of mining

6:19 am

Good Afternoon fellow Babblers....are we all well?.....I do hope so!!

Hello Everyone!!

6:20 am

Hi MrPresident

6:20 am

Hi Flask, and anyone else I haven't greeted. How was dinner, MrP?

6:20 am

o/8 also like when a movie is looking for a lot of extras, they have an o......

6:20 am

Hi mrperisdent

6:21 am

found the o8/50 - compound word, thanks

6:21 am

hi tiny, sue, chyna, flask, allstar!

6:21 am

hello all

6:21 am

Hi Fran!

6:21 am

allstar, your clue would have helped me earlier :)

hello Tiny!! amanda, dinner was just devine!! takeaway Indian! Hi aleksia!

6:21 am

hello to all fran said, plus mr pres, et al. ;-)

hello wolvie!

6:21 am

No toasted sandwiches afterall, I see

6:21 am

Good morning everyone. So far I'm enjoyng this one. It's feeling like fall this morning. Fastest summer I've ever experienced and I can't figure out if it's because it rained all of June or if it's part of getting older. Time does seem to move more rapidly.

6:22 am

sorry peri, I just got it myself : 0

6:22 am

hi eva!

6:22 am

hi Fran!

ok, I am over the N hump and onto the J's, (as I work backwards!) so will be looking for clues all too soon!

Hi eva!

6:22 am

you never know about new england weather eva - always keeps us guessing.

6:23 am

Hi cliff-yes I'm sure we will have plenty of hot weather still, but this morning has that hint of autumn

6:23 am

hi mrp!

6:23 am

anbody have the first set of ep's?

6:23 am

you can say that again eva and hi

e + pa4 and plural

6:24 am

boy - don't I wish we had a hint of autumn. A humid 71 here, will be mid 90's at least today.

6:24 am

I'm about to have more tomatoes than any human being could reasonably want. Why did I plant so many? Does anyone have recipes for salsa that they love?

6:24 am

hi Tiny

6:25 am

Thanks MrP

eva, there is a great recipe place called recipezaar.com... that shall help you much so!

6:25 am

thanks for the reference mrp!

6:25 am

Eva,you might want to check out: allrecipes.com or hungrymonster.com for

6:25 am

jits

6:26 am

sorry!

6:26 am

Eva - one thing I do - freeze tomatoes. I grow about 200 plants every year. Another good recipe place is cook's talk - taunton.com, from fine cooking

6:26 am

Wolvie, just love your icon

6:26 am

hungry monster - haven't seen that one. Will check it out (not eva, I know)

6:27 am

Peri - isn't it cute? It's title is pole dancer. ;-0

6:27 am

Oh my god wolvie-200 plants!!! You must have a huge freezer. I don't have much freezer space and what I have is already taken up by endless amounts of pesto (also went overboard on the basil)

6:27 am

Wolvie, just adorable

6:27 am

eva - there is no such thing as too much pesto. ;-)

ok, what T can I possibly be missing???

6:28 am

I love pesto, I am growing basil on my balcony

6:28 am

I've got 12 tomato plants and I'm going to be over whelmed in a week or so.

6:28 am

That being said - you could also can - which I do. A pressure cookier makes it less nasty work.

6:28 am

cooker - I wish I could type.

6:28 am

Didn't know you could freeze tomatoes

6:29 am

I know, I feel the same way....but I'm going to have to start giving it away because of the space problem. I haven't canned anything for about 30 years. I was always afraid of poisoning all my nearest and dearest.

6:29 am

I make a roasted tomato sauce and freeze that. It's marvellous with pasta and makes a good base for casserole dishes.

6:29 am

Haven't gotten to the t's yet, MrP...

6:30 am

if you 2 are having that big a problem you can send them to me : ) I love both and planted none. just too busy this spring

6:30 am

great idea sue!

6:30 am

i'm not babbling but passing through. can pesto be frozen?

6:30 am

peri - I bought a little italian press thingie - it takes out the se**s, and removes the peel - leaving just the pulp. Or you can freeze them whole - they are only good for sauces and such, but it works really well.

6:30 am

definitely MM.

6:30 am

Ugh even if I'm not playing i need to get that stupid liver out of my icon

6:31 am

Thanks Fran. I have basil a friend gave me and I thought about making some.

6:31 am

thanks for the tip Wolvie

6:31 am

lol musicmom, i don't mind!

what is icon today?? (too bloody lazy to look it up, sorry!)

6:31 am

mm - you can put bits in an ice tray, pot out what you need

6:31 am

Disgusting!

6:31 am

Sue, roasted tomatoe sauce sounds yummy

6:31 am

Wolvie - that is a great idea! Thanks.

6:31 am

today is vacations, where you like to vacation.

6:32 am

pesto freezes beautifully and will last for years. A friend of mine deals with the space problem by making up the pesto with just the basil, oil and nuts-leaving out the cheese. She puts the mixture into ice cube trays. That way when she wants pesto she just takes out as many cubes as she needs and adds the parmesan then

6:32 am

that's a common tip i always see too, the ice tray thing.

ah! will go hunting for vacation spots!

6:32 am

I have a sort or newbie question - who sets the theme for the day, and where do I find it?

6:32 am

I love this chatbox - it is a wealth of information. thanks all. I have to hit the yoga mat. May be back later to play.

6:32 am

Eva - that's the best way I know.

6:32 am

Have a great day everyone.

6:33 am

wolvie, babbler keeps track of them, but suggestions come from everyone.

hi and bye musicmom!

6:33 am

link is on lickety's page. on the right.

6:33 am

ahhh. I will look for a pic of my spot

6:33 am

time for my walk, see you all later

6:33 am

today's was my suggestion in fact!

6:33 am

later peri!

6:33 am

bye mm and peri!

ci4 peri!

6:34 am

I am off to bed Early start tomorrow Good Night All

6:34 am

nite tiny!

nite Tiny! sleep good!

6:34 am

bye tiny!

6:35 am

Thank You All God Bless

I haven't seen sprite for a while, is she around lately??

6:39 am

She's on holiday Mr P.

6:40 am

6:51 am

yw! time to open the wine!! bbl

6:51 am

A colour or tint, Amanda. There's also the plural. You might normally expect to hear the word with ure on the end.

6:51 am

amanda, ti/5 12: Colored lightly or faintly; tinged.

6:52 am

Sue - you beat me too it. ;-)

sue said a woooooord!! hehehehe

6:52 am

thanks sue and wolvie!

6:52 am

oops-sue you included a word in you clue(-:

6:52 am

Drat! Sorry.

6:53 am

so odd to see "Sue" - that's my first name as well. ;-)

6:53 am

Ahhh, thanks Sue and Wolvie - I thought about that one, but couldn't twist the letters around correctly. That's Fireworks for me!

6:53 am

yay amanda!!!

6:53 am

well poo - congrats tho, amanda. ;-0

6:53 am

Well done Amanda.

6:54 am

ok wait. she asked for ti 5/12. unless im missing one none of them were 12 points?

6:55 am

6:55 am

You're missing one, allstar.

6:55 am

allstar: Colored lightly or faintly; tinged. that's the ti/5 12

6:55 am

6:55 am

7:02 am

Fireworks for me!

7:02 am

Yay Sue!

7:02 am

good going, Sue!

7:03 am

how many words today please

7:03 am

gtg gotta take mom to breakfast

7:03 am

hannah - yucky word for bargaining down the price.

7:03 am

bye all good luck

7:04 am

je5/30 = tense of the je4/13

7:04 am

sewed

7:04 am

so sorry

7:05 am

235 words today, sandr.

7:05 am

thanks

7:05 am

thanks jac

7:05 am

test

7:06 am

not again - sorry sorry

7:06 am

thats it im calling it a day until i can get my cursor in the right place!

7:07 am

I'm off too. happy Babbling!

7:08 am

bye sandr and amanda!

7:11 am

any clues for je5/30 please?

7:13 am

je5/30 - first three letters, religious person; last two letters, make it past tense.

7:14 am

Many thanks Daisy Eric. Would never have found that!

7:14 am

je5/30 - obsolete (offensive) term for haggling or bargaining to get the price down.

7:14 am

(psst, hydra, it's me, Babbler!) ; )

7:14 am

I'm doing my 30 min challenge. I'm only 5 mins in...

7:14 am

Babbler - Why are you disguised today?

7:15 am

i am surprised to see the je5 in the grid... as jac says, it is offensive.

7:15 am

not disguised, Jac, just created a new non-Pro account so I can part play a puzzle. If I did that as 'Babbler', I'd deffo slip off the rankings page asap!

7:16 am

Good idea, Babbler! LOL

7:16 am

I put my new id in my profile over there and I've been introducing myself.

7:16 am

Good idea, babbler. I often play part of one and I'm way down the list, having started near the top! All because I got to 25 words one day and a visitor arrived!

7:16 am

wasn't my idea, I have to say, it was another player, Ache, who got me thinking.

7:17 am

ahhh - that is a good idea - a lot of times I can't get back to the puzzle.

7:17 am

Oh Lord! Looks like the membership is about to double! LOL.

7:17 am

I can't play entire grids cos of my RSI and stuff, and I do miss it. So I'm gonna play 30 min challenges - see how many I get in 30 mins. ; )

7:18 am

have to leave - off to get a new driver's license. bbl, I hope.

7:18 am

'Bye for now, Wolvie.

7:18 am

laters, Wolvie : )

7:19 am

Sorry to hear of the RSI, babbler. Have you tried arnica gel? It works on my arthritis and damaged ligament. Takes the pain away for a good 24 hours, sometimes more.

7:19 am

I can still see the stats as I only created this account a few days ago. I'm looking forward to no stats - then it will be like the old days!

7:20 am

hydra - I have fibromyalgia, so the RSI I have is a complicated beastie! I think I've tried arnica as a tablet, not a get. I've heard good things about it.

7:20 am

Right, I've put all the obvious words in and that's left me with 102 to find. I'm off to do some work now. I shall look at the grid more seriously later. Babbler, sorry about your RSI. I can see why the 30 minute challenges are a good idea for you. Glad you'll still be here to play.x

7:20 am

right now, I'm cooking with a lot of turmeric (nature's pain killer). I found that makes a difference.

7:21 am

thanks Jac : ) (remember when I had pains going up to my face after a really big grid and you were helping me?) Enjoy your afternoon and see you later : )

7:27 am

anyone know what the 8s begin with pls? thx

7:30 am

8's are an, ca, op

7:30 am

thanks spellit : )

7:30 am

just done - fireworks

7:31 am

congratulations! : )

7:32 am

ooh, got the op!

7:36 am

Any clues needed before I go and make a cup of tea?

7:37 am

75 words at the end of my 30 min challlenge, 1 x 8, 2 x 7; 2 x cups of tea and some chat. .... brb as Babbler

7:38 am

I'm ok thanks, Spellit. Go get your well deserved tea! : )

7:38 am

Cheers Babs - I must send you an email

7:39 am

okee dokee! (what are you going to write?? ooooh, exciting!) :D

7:41 am

Not too exciting I'm afraid!

7:45 am

you know to write to Babbler _ 2006, right? (take out spaces)

7:47 am

I'll reply to your last message - that's OK I guess

7:48 am

yep, (just remembered the password for that one, lol!)

7:55 am

As to Je***, the dictionary doesn't make value judgements. A word is a word. Another word with a similarly objectionable root is 'gypped' but I suppose we don't think about its origin anymore.

8:02 am

yes jeanne you're right, of course...it just surprises me to see it

8:02 am

Hi Babbler/Daisy Eric, Jacula, Spellit. I have decided not to play today, too many re's and ca's!

8:03 am

ExWren, LOL!!

8:03 am

Hi Une, didn't see you there

8:08 am

hi ex wren. : )

8:09 am

oh, hi Une! : )

8:13 am

Hi Ex-Wren - it's not so bad - lots of plurals, and er and ed endings

8:16 am

hey, babbler!

8:20 am

9:21 am

10:29 am

One te6/21 (which is all I have so far) sounds like a place. *Singing now - When I walked out in the streets of La***, when I walked out in La*** one day, I spied a poor cowboy all wrapped in white linen...*

Oooh, now do "El Paso" by Marty Robbins!

10:30 am

LOL, frazer_not_crane.

10:30 am

great clue jacs!

*tunes up geetar*

10:30 am

The te6/21 I clued is a ship worm.

10:31 am

(join in ) Down in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl...

10:31 am

Oh, Jac, isn't that Marty Robbins?

10:31 am

Thanks, Jac. I reallly neededto know that

10:31 am

A white sport coat and a pink carnation, I'm all dressed up for the dance...

Woohoo!

10:31 am

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl. Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina; Music would play and Felina would whirl. Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina, Wicked and evil while casting a spell. My love was deep for this Mexican maiden; I was in love but in vain, I could tell. One night a wild young cowboy came in, Wild as the West Texas wind. Dashing and daring, A drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, The girl that I loved.

My favorite song to bust out on slow karaoke nights!

10:32 am

Will that do?

The young people hate it and the oldsters swoon!

You mispronounced "wind" ... it's "wiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnndddddd"

10:33 am

!! Wonderful!! I saw Marty Robbins in concert years ago. I didn't like CW music at the time but wanted to treat my poppa. Marty's concert helped change my mind.

10:33 am

Sorry frazer! LOL

I learned that song flying to Paris as an 11-year-old. I think the Air France people thought it was what Americans liked to hear over and over.

10:33 am

For the 'Streets Of L' song, I was thinking moe of Johnny Cash or Hank Williams jnr.

10:33 am

LOL!

10:35 am

My other half got his Dad the Marty Robbins Gunfighter Ballads cd for Xmas last year. He had it on vinyl but couldn't play it in the car, of course. I think we've got a copy somewhere, too.

10:38 am

te6/27 - a small table for holding cups, saucers and what you brew the beverage in.

10:38 am

Clue for the in 6/18. With only a couple hours sleep last night, my brain is protesting.

10:38 am

In fact, if you change the last letter of the beverage brewer to the sometimes vowel, you have the very word!

10:39 am

Thank you Jac, that's a new word for me.

10:39 am

inborn, possessed at birth

10:39 am

that's a clue for the in6/18

Do you have an elbow that is renowned throughout Japan, Stid?

11:07 am

Jacula, you need to have the pics stored online somewhere to put them in BabAnon. but there are many good hosting sites that are free.

11:07 am

one of my favorite films of the last 20 years

11:07 am

37 left to go. I'll save those for tonight. I'll finish the ironing, feed the pets and us and then I WILL type up the travelog (IF I can re4/5 my own handwriting).

11:07 am

11:07 am

And is your left shoulderblade a miracle of loveliness?

11:07 am

Hursy its an op / 8

11:26 am

O_O *chokes* WELL! I have been called SOME things in my life, but never...never have I been insulted in this way! I am a NORMAL person! If you were to look up normal in the dictionary, there would be a picture of me! My address is 10 Normal Street, Normalville, Normal-on-Sea!

11:26 am

Well--well-rounded I most certainly am.Why is miyavi so weird?

11:26 am

and I am going to go get myself ready to head out. hetty, we are going to Lakewold Gardens in Tacoma today, then the Tacoma Art Museum (wonderful exhibit I saw earlier and want the kids to see), and maybe the Washington State History Museum... it's our "cultcha" day :-)

11:26 am

Hey - my boyfriend lives on Normal - you're neighbors! Small world!

11:26 am

11:27 am

Lupe!!! *huggles* how are you?

11:27 am

hetty... observe and learn, there's no better way to an6 your question

11:27 am

That reminds me, anyone taken up my directive on the DVD "NORMAL"?

11:27 am

not so sure, Miyavi, your first name isn't "Abby" is it? Then you would be Abby Normal...

11:27 am

afternoon all

11:27 am

Hi feather

11:28 am

Good Miya - sneaking in for a bit.... I only chat when I recognize who's on...which is becoming less and less often - how are you??

11:28 am

oh dear, i finished 4's without noticing.

11:28 am

that's Frahnkensteen, Frau Blucher (neigh neigh neigh)

11:28 am

I am very glad that I am not normal...cause normal is WEIRD

11:28 am

well now Stid...that would just be ridiculous. my first name begins with C 8D

11:28 am

oh feather, I was just heading out. Will be back on quite late your time, but definitely hereish later...

11:29 am

love the icon stid! I want one!!

11:29 am

hello everyone

11:29 am

Ouwachita, I am choosing to not DIGNIFY that comment with an answer, also to eschew you with a firm foot on the commenting department; good day. Lupe, oh, you know me...I live life on the WILD side XD

11:29 am

lupe said a woooord...

11:29 am

11:29 am

Stid, have a lovely day with your family absorbing culcha and other weird things like that

11:29 am

bon vivant and man about town

11:29 am

oh, sweet mystery of life....

11:29 am

really really going now... later all, enjoy the grid! (lupe, I can make you one, but it will be later.... remind me next time you see me.)

11:29 am

i am SO not following these conversational threads, which makes it so much funnier

11:30 am

laters, Stid... Remember to be NORMAL.

11:30 am

bye, Stidmama

11:30 am

ok!! :-)

11:30 am

see ya stid!

11:30 am

is there one WR, or two?

11:30 am

Hurshy - I agree.

11:30 am

one

11:30 am

just one hurshy

11:30 am

Can you "eschew ":someone with anything? Thought it was an intrasitive verb

11:30 am

well Hurshy, the world is a twisted place. if it wasn't, children wouldn't exist

11:31 am

well, we all walk perpendicular to the ground, so in that sense we are normal

11:31 am

alright, then clue me up on the weirdest we.

11:31 am

miyavi...that must be some kind of kinky sex if you are all twisted in making children...lol

11:31 am

Hetty - probably, it is. Thinking before speaking isn't my strong point. Or any kind of point, since I walk past it daily going "pah, that's for looosers!"

11:32 am

miya is too young for this conversation...

11:32 am

Speak a little German, a little more Spanish, lots of English, but the Italian friend, buddy, pal is eluding me. Can't even find in on a2z

11:32 am

Ouwachita, consider your comments ESCHEWED. I was referring to MANKIND XD isn't that a beautiful word, 'mankind'? Made up of two different words, mank and ind... there are some mysteries that were not intended to be solved, eh?

11:33 am

1c4/5 te4/4

11:33 am

that's cause it's being spelled funny, munner, with "ae" instead of "ai"

11:33 am

what was that tor?

11:34 am

speaking of BEAUTIFUL... is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo flying past a beautiful sunset, gliding on it's beautiful wings and carrying a beautiful painting in it's claws and also, you're drunk.

11:34 am

Never mind. didn't work .. I was te4/4ing an animated ic4/5 ..

11:40 am

11:40 am

11:40 am

Frazer, let's just presume so. it's not like you'd notice if it didn't.

11:40 am

hmm... all my other muscles are the most underused muscles in my house...

11:41 am

11:41 am

I think you're probably doing better than me, Hurshy.

11:41 am

the most overused muscle in my house appears to be the gluteous maximus. Also the brain, since I will never know whether or not that was spelt right.

11:42 am

Lunchbox? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

12:25 pm

Hi, Unea, lynxxx

12:25 pm

Frazer, well...my best friend and I had a big debate about that. We eventually developed a list with...I believe it's now 120 different names. (nice to know that our educations aren't going to waste, no?)

12:25 pm

ah, that explains it, lynx

12:25 pm

hey, charm

12:26 pm

yay 98 left...not bad considering i had decided not to play

12:26 pm

actually that's quite bad, seano... you've done a terrible job sticking with your decision :)

12:27 pm

for which we applaud you, of course.

Hey, George Carlin would be proud, Miyavi.

Does the tile stat E 1/9 mean there are 9 words that start with that "e" or contain that "e"?

12:30 pm

start with, frazer

nifty.

12:32 pm

why thank you, Frazer XD ...I think. I'm sure there are better ways to waste time, though...like spending time with relatives, and such.

12:33 pm

wahey, Une! You've joined me on the gif train! 8D poot poot...*chchchchchhchchchchch*

12:49 pm

clue for ae5/12?

12:49 pm

let's see, anyone have any weird A5 or A6 that aren't in a combo, besides ae5

12:49 pm

ae5/12 sounds like greek underworld

12:49 pm

the ca8 and op8 were clued just a few minutes ago, whitewitch.

12:50 pm

whitewitch - there are lists that can help you. if you look at the links at the bottom of the page, you can either use "babblers anonymous" and go to the first post under "general", or you can go to "lickety's babble clues"

12:50 pm

at5 = the top storage space in your house?

12:50 pm

whitewitch - you should also use Licketys list - link at bottom

12:50 pm

that's not weird, charm :)

12:51 pm

an5/12 = I love watching the dog's and baby's an***s as they play together....

Thanks a lot guys.

12:51 pm

ae greek underworld?

12:51 pm

an5/12 = pl the a4/4 meaning before (or an** up in poker).

12:51 pm

it's really ha, lmj643, but the ae5 just kinda sounds like it

12:51 pm

na 6/21 please

12:51 pm

an6/21 = double the 2nd vowel.

12:51 pm

also not weird, charm :)

12:52 pm

got it now hurshy, ty

12:52 pm

sorry, hursh, batting 1000

12:52 pm

now THAT sounds weird

12:52 pm

hursh, that poker clue = past tense it....

12:53 pm

no, you got it charm, it was the 6, 5 points!

12:53 pm

yw - took me long enough, though, didn't it????

12:53 pm

(i did past tense it with the 5, so i didn't try past tensing it that way.... stupid alt spellings)

12:53 pm

Sorry, I gave up on the A's a while ago.....lol

12:53 pm

aw, you'll get the hang of it :)

12:53 pm

na6/21 = na + consonant + facial spasm.

12:54 pm

fireworks, hursh?

12:54 pm

tacit

12:54 pm

now i'm screwed though. there's no good way to ask for clues for my last 3 words.

12:54 pm

Sorry!!

12:54 pm

ask away. good bad or ugly

12:55 pm

it's a little early, but maybe the point total could help...

12:56 pm

thanks Charm

12:56 pm

(that was a request for the point total, perhaps i was too subtle)

12:57 pm

3185 total

12:57 pm

the 1st pa6 and 7 combo, please?

12:57 pm

ok, i shall ponder the possibilities that entails

12:58 pm

12:59 pm

1:00 pm

or baby spaghetti or baby ziti, whatever

1:00 pm

no c5/20's yet, hurshy and I'm no help with the t's yet....

1:00 pm

hursh there are 2 t 5/20

1:00 pm

I feel silly for asking for a 4-letter, but... any clues for as4, please?

1:01 pm

but only 2... ok...

1:01 pm

out on the ocean, gurana

1:01 pm

as4/4 = a + ocean.

1:02 pm

ty, charm and hurshy... that was easy!

1:02 pm

so i could have a 6/27 and 2 5/12, or maybe 6/27, 5/10 and 5/14...

1:02 pm

last pa7 = pa + consonant + **** Turner of the great legs (better than mine)

1:02 pm

thanks Hurshy

1:02 pm

hursh, all your cogitating is hurting my head. lol

1:02 pm

or golly, any number of combos if it's 6/21... this is why the point total is useless unless you only have 1 or 2 left

1:03 pm

i need to find a word.

1:03 pm

well one of them is definitely a T5 of some sort.

1:03 pm

(it's from the right).

1:04 pm

there are 2 from the right Hurshy

1:04 pm

hursh - do you have te6.27 ?

1:05 pm

now if it's 5/12 and 6/21 for the T and they're a combo, that would be nice, and that would mean i would need a c5/18...

1:05 pm

Have you got a ts5/12 hurshy?

1:05 pm

no, have not got te 6/27!!!

1:05 pm

or ts5/12!!!

1:05 pm

Hi, FMitch - thanks for that ts!

speaking of Roma, is it just me who keeps seeing "vatican" in the puzzle? woooo~ I see DEAD PEOPLE...and by that I do not mean the pope.

3:02 pm

Yes, we had hot tea there. We also climbed up the castle, and there were so many steps I took photos all the way back down, to prove to our friends that I actually walked them!

Can I see it again, please?

3:02 pm

Miyavi, I've seen 'vatican' in the grid too.

3:02 pm

3:04 pm

best photo op in italy is the view in my icon (a little compressed though) which is up by the other tower on the path to corniglia

3:04 pm

Funny story: There was an evening concert on Sunday night in Vernazza, on the plaza right next to the Catholic Church. The band was playing as Mass was starting. The priest was so angry he stormed out of the church and demanded the band stop playing until Mass was over. We (who were attending Mass in the church) sat stunned and disbelieving.

3:04 pm

3:06 pm

ch...did you get to vernazza by train? the guide books all recommended against driving there, but we did...very wild, narrow, mountainous roads

3:06 pm

I don't suppose you can tell me what I am missing?

3:06 pm

It wasn't an angry shout, just wanted you to hear.

3:06 pm

phandmd, you have the list?

3:07 pm

Oh we trained and walked everywhere. I can't imagine driving! (Admires chj's bravery)

3:07 pm

yes, I am checking it

3:08 pm

Okay, I'm quieting down now. Thanks for letting me monopolize the log for a few minutes. Anyone need clues?

3:08 pm

hi krista!

3:08 pm

ooh! fell behind and was just reading the post about the priest yelling...that made me smile. That's like God coming down from heaven and saying "stop taking my name in vain, Goddammit!" heh. I had the strangest dream with God in a few nights ago.

3:08 pm

we were doing 3 weeks and rented a car for the first week in tuscany...pisa, san gimi, siena, assisi, orvieto, pompeii and amalfi coast..the rest, rome, florwnce, venice and milan by train

3:09 pm

oooh, memories! We're headed to Ireland next, but are tentatively planning to live in Italia for a few years, after 2008.

3:09 pm

Miyavi, what did She look like? :)

3:09 pm

I once went to midnight mass on Christmas Eve and the priest yelled at everyone at the end of mass to not bang down the kneelers, saying "for the sake of the Christ child..." which I thought a really poor reason to yell or to invoke the Christ child

3:10 pm

3:13 pm

congrants? I like that word

3:13 pm

WOW Miyavi, what great imagery with the milk -- we could really get into the symbolism of what milk represents in terms of the feminine -- interesting...

3:13 pm

In fact, I am not Babbling today. Too late to start. Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. Needed something to lighten my mood after that Dr. Phil episode (child abuse).

3:13 pm

its short for congregants

3:14 pm

:D nrkii

3:14 pm

LOL CHJ!

3:14 pm

Ch...you are not, as such, getting this, are you? XDDD

3:15 pm

!! That's especially funny chj, in light that my last job was project director for a GRANT for youth offenders!

3:15 pm

I am having some fairly irreverant responses to the whole I sent him to get milk concept... as in, is that what you sent me for? you could have been a little more specific...

hey, anyone get teh first two EN words?

3:15 pm

I keep seeing Him in a "got milk" ad.

3:16 pm

oooh krista, that's worse!

Ahh, thanks

3:16 pm

Oh my God... I LOVE the "GOT MILK" slogan. Many, oh SO MANY j-rockers have had that captioned on their pictures...

3:16 pm

ROFL, but going to hell for it

3:16 pm

Qll the travel talk about Italia is making me homesick for it. Three times now we have lingered inits beautiful toe=wns--preferring Umbria to Tuscany, actually, and deploring what has become of San Gimignano in more recent years. On eof our graddaughters chose to get married in Siena two summers ago, and booked a couple of villa estates in the wine country for her family and guests. A totally unforgettable week of romance and delight

3:17 pm

I know, nrkii -- it was off the top of my head in terms of symbolism. That's why I said wow, we could have a discussion around that -- half in jest!

3:17 pm

ah see Krista, you've just unlocked the secret of my extistence.

3:17 pm

and, you know, that symbol is milk.

3:17 pm

Not being disrespectful...I think He has a sense of humor. I dolove the symbolism, seriously.

3:17 pm

Ch said a wooooord~ XDDD

3:18 pm

Ooops? OOOPS I did! Sorry. Miss Hetty, my beloved wanted us to be married on a gondola in Venice. He settled for renewing our vows on one instead :)

3:18 pm

I'm glad I could do that for you, Miyavi. :)

3:18 pm

I think S/He must have a sense of humour: look at George Bush. However in the bible God always seems vengeful. Once again, probably to do with Bush.

3:18 pm

it's the ot 6 which I thought I had now can't find

3:18 pm

We went to Italy to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and my turning 50.

3:18 pm

very nice ch1212 :)

3:19 pm

3:19 pm

hetty..ah siena...walked up the steps to the top og mangia tower...il campo is one of the great public spaces in the world

3:19 pm

3:19 pm

m3, add vowel to pa 6/21

I live in Italy for about 6 months, back in 1986, it was lovely

3:19 pm

ch1212 he sounds a man after my own heart. Did your gondolier sing to you as you pased under t6yhe Bridge of Sighs?

3:19 pm

3:20 pm

Our gondolier was a lovely man named Enrique, who spoke limited English. He was married to a young woman from Chicago, USA, whom he met while she was on vacation there.

3:20 pm

ty nrkii

3:20 pm

I could get into a whole big fat discussion on everything you just mentioned, but I would go on forever. I don't want to do that, I no one else wants me to! You seem to know a lot more than most 14 year olds, to answer that last ?

3:20 pm

thnx ch; now I am done! I will bbl

3:20 pm

I was in siena at the time of the paolo??? is that what it's called?

3:21 pm

Yup. We prefer Siena to Florence--nd Assisi best of all-- except perhaps Verona--but then how can one choose in such sublime neauty spots?

3:21 pm

They were having all the parades for the various neighborhoods (sestas????)

3:21 pm

Hurray for Phandmd!

3:21 pm

yay phandmd!!!!!

3:21 pm

3:21 pm

3:22 pm

Well put, Miss Hetty. Krista, Miyavi is indeed exceptionally bright for 14 -- and a delight to have in our Babble family. I always enjoy her chat.

3:22 pm

it was 9 years ago for me and i can remeber every minute

3:22 pm

*beauty spots. We were frustrated that we cudn't go both ays along the coast of lake garda--keptve other for another day (tho' knowing how way leads ON TO WAY I DOUBTED WE SHOULD EVER GO BACK)

Fran, I thought of you while watching Dog Bounty Hunter until 3am this morning! He seems to be quite the celebrity in Hawaii!

3:23 pm

okay, do you remember what the name of the big horse race is in siena, and the name they use for the neighborhoods there?

3:24 pm

yikes, i am still not seeing the in6,18, could i please have another clue?

3:24 pm

he is krista! love the show too.

Miss Hetty, speaking of vows -- today is our 23rd month anniversary and we are celebrating tonight. We decided that since we got such a late start we need to celebrate every month!

3:24 pm

Oooh...I just saw such lovely comments about myself ^^ thanks, Krista, and Ch12...though to be honest, I'm very immature XD

3:24 pm

yes siena over florence and just adored assisi...we walked up the hill to the fortress and then thru back streets to the basilicas...we were there a few months before the earthquake

3:24 pm

I'm trying to think of it, nrkii. Tell you what--let's all go there for a babblers convention

3:24 pm

Miyavi, I didn't say you were mature -- ;) I just said you were exceptionally bright!

Thank goodness for that. I've come over all faint.

4:46 pm

That's fine .. I can take it .. I'm a big boy ..I get blemed for most things anyway .. ( I must not tempt fate . . .)

4:46 pm

Aloha, gals and gents.

4:46 pm

Hi Judi

4:46 pm

*blamed*

4:46 pm

Hi Judi.

4:47 pm

If that ever happened - is it mathematically possible? - I reckon there would be a fine number of excuses as to why people weren't able to attempt it. Unprecedented numbers of weddings and hastily arranged holidays.

4:47 pm

blamed is the new owned

4:47 pm

Hello Judi.

4:48 pm

what about a 25 letter word

4:48 pm

hi Judi :)

4:49 pm

lol - other than that Haz - there would be an increase in sickies! There wouldn't be time to work!

4:49 pm

If you play on http://weboggle.shackworks.com for long you'll see many 5X5 grids with 1-2,000 words.

4:49 pm

Hi Judi. You just missed it. Haz was wishing for a 500 word grid . . .

4:49 pm

I'm an imp . . .

4:50 pm

Hithere - I do play on Weboggle, usually on the 4x4 grids, though. I think people use cheat programs though.:(

4:50 pm

Snowy - that's the more likely scenario, if I know hardened Babblers.:)

4:51 pm

and a floyd fan to boot!!

4:51 pm

& I've have the sparkliest computer room in the country! ( It's my usual excuse for being in here so much)

4:51 pm

weboggle allows 3 letter words, too ..

4:51 pm

bookmarks yet another puzzle site...

4:52 pm

Not me - I'm still sane "she thinks"

4:54 pm

'Sane'? Are sane people allowed in here??

4:55 pm

I do not have enough life left to attempt another word game -this one has taken up the tiny amount that being a grandparent & Girlguiding leave me!

4:56 pm

weboggle looks good... games are short...

4:56 pm

Well I'm not sure I've ever seen any Jacula -tho things are not quite as crazy here as they were before Christmas1

4:56 pm

Hello Judi! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

4:56 pm

'Wordo' is a nice word game. I have it downloaded on my computer. I think I put a link to it ages ago in the 'games' section of BabAnon.

4:57 pm

What was happening before Christmas, snowy?

4:59 pm

I play weboggle. I don't like it as much as Babble, but I play it.I play the bigger grid where 3 letter words are not allowed.Don't want to get into the habit of typing 3 letter words in Babble.I play 'til I get at least 50 pts.

4:59 pm

I play Scrabble Blast.Krista got me hooked on that one

4:59 pm

Nothing earth shattering puptone -we just seemed to live in a much more ' vitual' world then. You know the sort of thing -cocktails & jacuzzi parties. We ahd a food fight too I seem to remember and lots of rounds of drinks. Parties every night really1

6:13 pm

Minver - sorry, yes. 3rd ca5/14 is a chicken.

6:14 pm

(In fact it's a castrated male chicken!)

6:14 pm

I'm 10 then

in the first grade, i was chosen to be one of the 3 singing angels for the christmas play - a very important part, since the 3 angels got to stand at the front of the stage for almost the entire program & sing brief intros to each scene

6:14 pm

lol, snowy!

i was chosen, of course, for my golden hair & angelic look

6:14 pm

If I multiply my digits I am 15,makes me older than 11

then the most horrible thing happened

6:15 pm

why do i sound so good in the shower

after the first rehearsal, i was no longer one of the 3 singing angels, and since all the parts were taken, i was relegated to the back of the angel choir & told i didn't have to sing very loudly if i didn't want to - nuns!

6:16 pm

Just for interest: b. 8th November 1947, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. d. 12th July 1979, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Minnie Riperton hailed from Chicago, Illinois, originally. Minnie was the youngest of eight children. She studied classical music as a child and developed a five-octave vocal range and originally intended to become an opera singer.

6:26 pm

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .

Beautiful Woman - Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a Queen. Age 8: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella. Age 15: She looks at herself and sees an Ugly Sister (Mum I can't go to school looking like this!) Age 20: She looks at herself and sees 'too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly'- but decides she's going out anyway. Age 30: She looks at herself and sees 'too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly' -- but decides she doesn't have time to fix it, so she's going out anyway. Age 40: She looks at herself and sees 'clean' and goes out anyway. Age 50: She looks at herself and sees 'I am' and goes wherever she wants to go. Age 60: She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world. Age 70: She looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and enjoys life. Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world. Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier.

Minver - try my 8:12 clue for it.
