He'd jump on hte last note - even if it was a soft ending. so - i left him a note after intermission telling him his premature adulation was ruining my evening. he kept his arms folded the whole 2nd act, left his box seat for the 3rd. was i too harsh?
my 8th is what a pantomime has, male ipersonating femalew is groosly horribel and motherlike character.

Good morning all. My phantom word FEMALE
Caerleon, whre Arthur's fort is, JFB?
Caldicott
I love it too, Jacula. Stid is studying welsh and I have a Weslh uncle in Aberystwyth, and my late hubby's last name is Welsh, but I don't know any :(
well i am stuck at 86
Jlli - that's a rousing tune to march into. nT LIKE 'gOD sAVE oUR qUEEN' - I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT WAS WROPNG WITH HER?!
In those days it was God Save the King!
I'm Cornish so there is the Celtic affinity to Wales. Mm mother was scots so the celtic strain runs right through!
Oh, thank you, Dr_G for posting my post before it was ready.
Welcome, Frances - your icon is beautiful when clicked on!
my maiden name wasa rousing Scots Murray
Frances is my second name friend. We both protet humans and animals.
Hi jilli. Yes, it doesn't show up too well until you click it for the full effect!
Hi jilli. Yes, it doesn't show up too well until you click it for the full effect!
Jacula Frances is my second name too!
The 'e' part of our names denotes that we are female. But I do have a statue of St. Francis guarding my animal graveyard.
morning Jacula. At least you know how to spell it. I'm forevever telling people that it is 'i' for 'im and 'e' for 'er!
JFB - please do not also go one to tell me that your surname is a colour.
Mine is!!!!
.....and it isn't blue
Frances - we've had this convo before, but about a year ago, I guess! Welcome back!
Thank you
The number of times you have to put people right on E not I is amazing.
Okay, m colour is not black!
No my surname isn@a colour.
Yep. Cuz I'm not a fella
Must be bronze!!!!
Might be, Frances, but kinda more dark and tawny.
Just like mine
But it's my ex-married name, s =o what the heck!
My single name, which I now sometimes accident\ally say, due to being on the internet using it, is far more rare.
I did not want to become that b colour! I said as much when we married! But we tried various cominbations of the names and all sounded prtentious/
*ptretentious
* damn! try again! pretentious.
Happy Birthday, Eastern!
*refresh*
However, the new man in my life (of 3 years now) has the pefect surnam to integrate with mine.
Now I really am going to bed.
A marriage (should he do the gold thing and give me ring formy 50th) is one probabl;y made in heaven. I hope! LOL.
Night cybernan. You may sleep now you've finished baking!
cybernan you said that last night too...
right, Fran
OOOOO I wish you well with that one Jacula
nice icon, cybernan!
I'm just sitting here listening to the news and the majoe security alerts at UK airports. Scary
Lol,Frances. I also wish myself well with that one too. It's a terrtory that scaes the shit out of me.
Frances, I've been listening to CNN on the same subject -- grim - but at least they know about it unlike 9/11 and last July in London
Yes. Major disruption but, if it keeps people safe - at least they wake up tomorrow!
Well fu4/12 me! I've not been watching any news. What and where?
Jacula there have been lots of arrests in the south east this morning. UK airports are on their biggest security alert ever. Pretty serious if you ask me
morning all!
mva hello
hello MVA!
Frances- soory, do not tend to read a lot of news from the Soputh since the south tends to thinnk there is nothing after the WWatford Gap.
lovely icon jacula, where is it?
Othe than the stereotypes.

MVA - it's Harlech Castle in the early morn. N. Wales, Gwynedd.

Radioactive dirty bombor something?
Jilli - I'm at least a quarter Welsh girl.
Jac - plot foiled to blow up UK-US flights
Shw mae, Jilli.
What does shw mae mean?
Looks like "show me!"
Just heard that if you are travelling out of a UK airport with a baby and have milk for the child, you will be asked to taste it in front of security officers!
Shw mae - means hello or good mnorning.
or how are you?
Yopu then answer da iawn, diolch.

I only ever lived in Wales part time, but I did learn to so=peak it a bit.
My cousins lived there for a while and their kids went to welsh school
I feklt I mustn do, since all n=my ancestors from both sides wewre Welsh. I don't think tis beautiful languqge should die. So. you lot living there, LEARN IT!
I'm goingto have alook at Lickety's list now for a bit
My eldest brother was evacuated to Wales during the war. He went to a Welsh speaking school and beat all the locals at their own language
Fran - get me in touch with your brotherm, si I can speak the language agan!
That was a long time ago Jac. I don't know if he would remember much now
I am ashamed, as a person with more Welsh than English antecedants, that so few speak Welsh.
I work with young children and we have to teach them basic Welsh, which means i've had to learn the language
MVA - we may be able to communicatel Mae'r plant yr yn yr ysgol?
as i'm half cornish and scottish, this caused problems!
Oh, okay, never mind!
But never let it be said that I did not TRY!
E for effort Jac
E for effort Jac

regards Frances' comment about liquid on aircraft - i just read that even baby milk has to be tasted bythe accompanying adult b4 it will be allowed on the plane :(
78 words in 30 minutes... more than half way, but not very good...
Actually, one reassuring thing about words in the chatterbox is that it's reassuring to know that you're not the only one who tries some very odd words in the hope that they'll take!
I'm still upset that it won't take "yoda" :D
Goodmorning?evening all. Just logged on but will have some breakfast before I start searching. I didn't play yesterday, it was much too big.

Hello SueMagee, are you the same SueMagee as on the Ciao website?
I am, yes! Are you on Ciao?
Yes but not too often now more on the BBC food website, AKA Scalywitch.
I must have a look at that.
I am an adict,lol. I wander between here and BBC food, and only occassionaly on Ciao as I found it was all consuming for me.
I spent far too much time there.
I have the same name on BBC food as Ciao so maybe see you yhere sometime.
Quite probably - I'm a foodie.
Me too, though I see it is not a word on Babble!!, off to have a quick game of online scrabble before I do some work, good luck.x
Thanks! You too.

Good night jillibus. Sleep well.
Hi everyone, how's the puzzle Easy or hard 149?
Very difficult.
Or maybe I'm just being obtuse today.
yikes! I gave up on yesterday's, too much to do to finish it. Well, let's see how much I get done in 45 minutes.
It starts off easily enough but there are lots of peculiar words.
Thanks for the warning, LOL
Of course, maybe my peculiar words are familiar ones to you. Enjoy the grid anyhow.
hey
Hello scv.
these o's are gonna drive me nuts, i know it. why do i keep coming back every day? haha.
I don't have any o's yet
So, I guess they're driving me nuts too, LOL
There are two normal ones - a preposition and a sign or portent. Three others have an 8 beginning and the last one, od7/32 sounds like a plea from someone to give money
Morning Haz Popped in for 5 mins, how goes it?
i just mean the 4 of them just sitting there.. for some reason when theres a string of letters like that it distracts me. or, i have a harder time keeping track of what i've covered/tried already
I've finished the grid, FMitch, but only because I've used morewords even more than usual. It's not easy today!
True, svc, that is distracting especially when you think you're building off one letter and another one takes the credit.
exactly.
hi all
I got to 96 early this morning but won't have a chance to come back to it until this evening.
Hi
hi hi everybody
Hi!
There are a few babblets - like the males interested in footwear (so6/24 and so6/24). Then there are the high-class servants fo7/32.
fo7/44, I mean.
and the very chilly blokes too
ooh, thanks for the fo clue
FMitch - husband has been on the phone panicking about our flight through Heathrow in ten days time!
still trying to figure out the other one
so6/24 - it's most of what men wear under shoes, plus the male/males
I was wondering about that Haz in the light of todays news, hopefuly in the the next couple of days things will be more clarified (at least you are not flying to the States)!!
what happened?
There's a good-looking, though old-fashioned cab (ha6/24)
I was just listening to the Heathrow 'scare' on our radio coming home - pray nothing comes of it.
Just woke up a few minutes ago, what is in the news?
Manchester airport seems to be coping and getting planes away
Apparently there are no flights from Belfast into Heathrow today. There's a big security scare going on.
you just woke up? its crazy early!
flights are still running just really stepped up security
5:30 EST in Florida, have to leave for work at 6:30
oh nm, i was looking at the clock here which is an hour off of my computer
Ah yes, but then Belfast flights are always treated as being potentially dangerous anyway.
All UK airports are on the highest alert, there have been terrorist arrests and at the mo there are no flight in or out of Heathrow whilst they clear the backlog
oh my
But John Prescott is in charge, so we can rest easy.
say it on the news.
ohh. perhaps i should catch up on some news for a bit.
no hand luggage, except essentials in a clear plastic bag
21 arrests have been made
Now that is a really scary thought Haz :)
topic change, man i wish it accepted yoda
well, now i understand the drinking of baby formula before getting it past
LOL, beast, I saw that too
or, i think its crazy. but understand what that conversation was about, at least.
Is the y word an obvious one or a babblet?
no, it's obvious
short for over there
Sorry, was just checking up on the news there. It's going to be a long day for people working in airports.
Thanks, not sure I would have spotted that.
did that clue help?
Yup thanks
Well, I'm going to stop with 88 to go, will work on it after school today. So far, 2 days and no criers. Let's hope for day 3. Everyone have a good day
i'm missing the middle an4. too many options
If the middle one is the third one, then an plus two vowels, with the word beginning and ending with the same letter. Time for me to go!
haha yes the 3rd. thank you
how can doona not be a word :p i would freeze with out mine
See you Haz - thanks for all the clues I picked up
Bye Haz, have a good days and don't worry too much.
hi all,back after a couple of days on Scrabble can't make-up my mind witch one I like best!
we are feeling so loved !
hodag, which scrabble game to you go on?, i use wordwiz
I bought the game.My daughter said I should 'nt have but I really do enjoy it.
Oh I see, I play the online game (realtime) one.
carol - where do you play?
Sorry its wordbiz not wiz, lol. Its very good, just google it, you can play from anywhere with an internet connection worldwide, there are some idiots but you can make up a noplay list to stop them, and its free.
thanks for the info.
your welcome
Nice thing is also you can play short games, 3-5 mins up to 40 plus, i like the short ones as less time for people to cheat
I wish I would have knowen about it befor I baught mine. Being a new computer person these are the things Im learning as I go along.
well you can have the best of both worlds as you can pause, make tea etc, with the online one you have to abort if something happens or adjourn and hope to replay within 48 hours or the game goes, so don't be sad.
thanks carol,your helpful and nice to chat with!
morning all...just...^^
ty, i keep going between the 2 sites, hence the time delay, off to scrabble again, good luck all.xx

sorry, I was over here just to say hello to cadfan and carolecs and miayvi. Going back to my corner now.
hello inge
hi Lynxxx, I was off trying to fix my list
lovely grid tonite
yes, but it is early morning on the US east coast
meant
sorry, I am not used to chatting, and forget to switch
we all do!
Mornin' all from Atlanta, GA. I've been doing a quick first run through the grid--made it to 76 in less than half an hour so that's good enough for me to take a break to run to Wal-Mart. Early is better there. Our small town has the distinction of having been the VERY FIRST store to be ope 24 hours a day!
in your state ?
Yep, a suburb south of Atlanta about 20 minutes from the airport--Riverdale, Georgia--our only claim to fame except for very colorful local politics.
and good morning too! hope you slept well.
first Walmart to stay open ??? Around here the people demonstrate against Walmart staying open all nigth. They succeeded in one case. Walmart has to close at midnight/
5 hours last night beats the last two combined nights, but off steroids now so nights will get better.
BBL - Have to get myself going while I have the energy. Enjoy your day and pray that the good guys will win.
so, 24 hour stores are not common in the States? what about 7/11s and supermarkets. We commonly have this type of store open 24 hours now - been so for the last 15-20 years I think. It is great esp if you work and good parttime employment for younger people - that is actually where my student daughter is now - doing a late shift.
That's win in the war against terror.
o yes, they are common, but not liked by thei neighborhoods. People come from Detroit to shoop at our Meijers, one of the first to stay openall the time. Even on holidays.
You are talking about London, yes? It is just awful - again. I think this may just be a fact of life now, Good to see you are feeling better - trust it will continue.
We live about 30 miles outside of Detroit.
These Meiher stores exist only in the Midwest. They still offer penny rides for the kids.
back to my me's now
Hi all! I see the samurai blade is back - haven't seen it in a while
hello amandacath
Hi amandacath
help,I just paid to become a pro,How do you get your flag&sign?
go to my account - top right - hodag - and welcome to the club!
welcome hodag....hi everyone! :)
hi cathyar
welcome hodag, did it work?
i neec clue for th3 3rd an 4,4
quite a grid today! i've been AWOL...cleaning up the apartment downstairs in my house for new tenant.
nvm got it
lol
morning---quite a grid good or quite a grid challenging?
challenging i think
grid good dorens - morning
k need help with the last an 4,4
plz
luckily, i've been monkey-typing some obscure words.
a***bellum
any clues any one?
its from the a at the bottom- an** natal
i got it dnt worry
ow thnx lynxxx
have I found a fish (no definition) - sa5.12?
hmm...the second to last an4 pls?
I could give you an answer but you wouldn't recognise it cathy
pretty obscure word is it lynxxx?
an + two vowels cath
perhaps I am being to cryptic! - 'answer' - sounds like
ok...i'll have to monkey it i think as i'm not sure which "a" it works off
hmmm - google says that sa5/12 is an arabic word that has been taken over into english, but it doesn't offer a definition...
I need it too, have been monkeying and can't find it
top row second column
an + 4th vowel + 1st vowel
that an4 ends like a b** constrictor
no there is one after that and before the poker word
so far it did't work
TY
got that one spot...but tks anyway...that clue i think is for the middle an4/4
morning all. only here for a few minutes....
fans
hi charm
Hi, Dorens
Sorry
(according to lickety it's the middle one at least)
got it.
mmm - my one is top row, 4th column and read anticlockwise
like Lynxxx said say answer with a slang like accent
too many vowels today
go on - have a go at the way we Australians speak - we can take it! (we are dreadful!)
was tht to me Lynxxx? I wasn't intending that...
how many an's are there?
yes ... but we speak dreadfully .. really!
5
the one i need is the 4th an4/4 (2nd to last)...perhaps i should re-enter the an's into lickety's list...it HAS put them out of order for me before
sorry my mistake...hadn't gotten lickety's list yet...now have it...people in Long Island sometimes speak like that too
I love the way aussies speak
hmm...guess I"m still missing one
there are 5 an4/4 today
has eastern blue dropped by for her blue birthday greetings??
the 2nd to last an uses 3 of the letters from the top row
just say answer really fast (and hold your nose!) - dropping the w sound!
an + abbreviation for a southern hemisphere continent
I found this on the sa5/12: We were served huge portions of "sa5/12." (Slightly similar to stew) - somewhere in South America, I think
...which doesn't do much to prove the arabic-word proposition...
i still can't get in to the pro account! now Im getting discuraged.
need the last 2 ci's
nm
hodag, did you check off "sow profile"?
*show
good morning all. :-)
where is that?

lynxxx.... I have taken the ~~sexy~~ approach! thought it would get me an invite!!
Hello Wolvie!!

ph - do you mean the swear word?
ahh!
I'm in Nj and we're enjoying blue skies 80's and low humidity the last couple of days...and again today
lynxx... oh dear!! so it seems, but not me!! I am breathing in the beauty of the vanuatu islands!!
oh, dorens, I'm so jealous! humidity here today is near 90%!
doren!! you lucky bugger!! we have cold cold and more cold!

oh no, aixeoise...it's probably on its way up here
by the way une, been wondering...are you from aixe-en-provence?
well mr p. we will have that in six months, and you'll have what we do, no?
une! vanuatu is in the south pacific, close to australia
i lived and studied there many many moons ago . . . and was married to an Aixois :-)
oooohh lucky you
Doren... the nice stuff comes in about 2 months
we have very extended summers here... only about 4 months of cold weather! in Sydney anyway
well just hang in there...knowing it's coming in 2 months, you can't be too jealous of us + after the heat wave we had recently, cold seems ideal
what is todays lovely theme please??
BLUE
oh, heat waves are nasty stuff!! so sorry for you!!
ah, blue!! I will change my cat to blue then!!
ergo, my blue cake--it's Eastern Blue's bday!
oh yes - in Melbourne the weather is good too (these Sydney people - really!). Bye all - off for v. late dinner now.

en6&7 - type of oak, sounds like a city in CA, Mendo...
yes annie it is a nice way--am drinking my iced latte, but it's been an hour here and the stomach is grumbling
thanks amanda
hi everyone! : ) just dropping in to check things out
thanks, amanda!
morning, TO!
hi TO
ah, latte...one of my favorite caffeine fixes
yw - it took me forever to find them
hi temple and une
off to eat a bite of breakfast--fresh peaches . . . yum! Then volunteering at library--BBL
broke down and got ann espresso machine two years ago and it's been well worth it.... use it every day and hardly ever make regular coffee now
later une
bye une! and bye all! hope to be back tonight and to catch EB to wish her happy birthday...dee you!
see you! LOL!
I've become a complete espresso snob - would rather do without than have to drink regular coffee!
well, if it's GOOD coffee,
oh my, i find fresh beans and grind them...hmmm an espresso machine....perhaps
meant i buy fresh beans but you know what i meant
i have what they call la semiautomatic.... not cheap but a dream to use
dorens - which machine do you have? I'm looking for a good one.
there's also the stove-top version, don't forget. It takes up much less room and I'm sure it's much cheaper!
capreso ultima---- did a fair amount of research..there are some veryinformative websites out there...wholelattelove.com, etc... and this was the best for me and i totally love it
thanks!
Hello everyone
true amanda...my son likes his and he's bringing it next week (whole family to be at martha's vineyard) mine would take up too much room in the car (but i DID bring it last year, but that I am)
hi bg
good morning everyone.
k...tried everything for the last do6...can i have some help pls?
hello bg
hey Dorens My seven year old struck abain
hi bg
hi musicmom!
sorry...meant do4/6
good morning music mom
hi musicmom
For anyone interested in coffee and machines etc. there is a great podcast at coffeegeek.com
ok, back with the blues!
the astro do*
hello mm!!
got that one phand...it's not the last one.
hi music mom---BG what did your seven year old do?
LOL, mr p - I'll have to go and get a blue I guess. :-)
All the swim coaches were lined up to play with him at lessons ...
I love mine, but then I have an aversion to electronic gadgets that don't really make things easier (electric can openers, for example)
yes, my son the "coffee guru" likes coffeegeek.com
yes, bg?
get blue!! love it!!
my clue was for the first one
I have learned a lot from there Dorens
the terrorist plot was destined to do*
ty...i'm looking for the last do4/6 pls
that is the last do 4/6
He has them turned into mush.
oh amanda i abhor electric can openers...totally agree with you on that one....but i do find the espresso thing a lifesaver
oh Wolvie!! a blue pole doggie would be funny as!!
ph - is that the one that goes well with despair?
I need to request male teachers
yes
ty...sorry...i swear i put that in earlier!!!
watch that he doesn't decide that he's god's gift to women when he gets older!!!
em?
LOL bg
He doesn't "do" anything It 's just weird...
any hinto on the o7 please??
My six year old daughter is the same way with men. She can charm them just by looking at them.
The best think about the non-electric espresso maker is that it's transportable - I house-sit for friends quite often, and I pack it right into my bags to take with me
He's had little girls fight over him since preschool...klaurel has seen him in action
That is a hilarious bg.
What's funny is my 12 year old daughter has never been particularly impressed by men and could still pretty much care less about boys. The little one is the one I have to watch.
right, amanda...hence my son is bringing his to our summer cottage
MrP, that o7 - morpher on DS9 + Mr. Hawthorne?
Any suggestions.. I thought about making him a priest when he gets older
Nah - just go with it bg
there's always bad haircuts, bg
what the hell is mr hawthorn!! *stupid much*
Great suggestion dorens.
lol Dorens He hates haircuts
I know hawthorne - house of the seven gables
what is a morpher?
shape shifer
shifter
thought that might be a problem, MrP - american author. A morpher is one who morphs :)
beginning of the thingie that tells you howmany miles you've gone? ending with hawthorne's nickname
em?
Thanks Dorens
I don't have it ph
:-(
well, I am truly lost!!
how many letters?
phan - over do it with the feelings
:-)
mrp - something that is very decorative is or**** - that is the last four letters of the od word
5, letters
12 points
got it
how about the fo 7's --- i dodn't know why but fo4/8 + picnic pest isn't a word!
od7..... right got it Give money to charity with an O at the front!!
just to add to the confusion on the o7 - Mr. Horvath + took nourishment
couldn't do the blue to the pup - will have to try some more later - got to dark
fo 7 - the mice in Cinderella turned into these. And a singular one
Good morning all.

No, at my office, we huddle around an ancient speakerphone and yell. :/

to4/7?
3 to get ready... Hi hurshy
[singing like carl perkins]
lol...sorry...have a blue to take the edge off stillings *pops of the cap and hands over the bottle*
thx
ladynoire, I am sorry to hear that. I have been battling a (thankfully) small migraine since yesterday -- bad enough to be noticeable but not so bad I can really excuse myself from chores...
hurshy! :-)
to4/5 and to4/6 pls?
Cheers Cath
2nd to 4/5?
now go cat go
Stuck on no 7. Clue please?
foo should be a word
hi hurshy!!
Maybe its the weather? I've had more in the past month than I've had in years
maybe it is mab, but it's only 3 letters :)
like the Foo Fighters, mab?
dont you...step on my blue suede shoes
hi auntie :)
drop the last letter of no 5 + so 4/5
I think mine is stress - trying to get everything done before we leave for vacation
It's raining her at the moment (finally) -- so it could have been the oppressive pressure yesterday. And of course it was a full moon...
you can anything but lay offa my blue suede shoes
2nd to 4/5?
i also need that 2nd to4/5
where are you going, lady?
Pennsylvania
2nd to 4/5, sounds like t***Raiders
brb
to 4/6, brand of tire
I'd give you all cooties, but the word's not in the puzzle.
Stid and ladynoir, sorry about your migraines. Don't try to do too much or move too fast
regis to**ey
as in 'oh foo!' and then one could make it plural.
to4/7?
the other regis
LOL mab!
Foon Bombs are what we called the homemade fireworks my friend and I cooked up in our basements. They didn't exactly pop; They went FOON!
thanks, phan
morning, all.
harp, to4/7 is like no yesterday but to*** minus the first vowel
hi Charm...
sounds like that sweater is to d** for
Uh oh. Call Homeland Security. Torgone is making explosive devices in his basement.
ok, so other than that no7, i haven't got any 7's, what have people found?
why am I SO not surprised, tor?
not familiar with that brand of tire I guess
same here phand
me either
to 4/7 not yeserday but to*** drop the voewl
so go with the to** raiders homonym clue
i keep wanting cement and enamel
2nd to4/5 is the struggle word today.
phandmd, to 4/6, try changing the first letter of that wooden thing that goes up and down in your hand....
Talking of explosive devices, have you all heard about the Heathrow debacle today?
fo7/44 , ho7/36,en7/32,od7/32. By the way, hurshy, the trial you visited in the Old Bailey finished yesterday. They were found guilty.
it's the to 4/5 after that Hurshy
yes!
en7/32 fo7/44 x2 ho7/36 no7/32 od7/32
omg, what did I just accidentally say?
to4/5 the other regis...regis to**ey
i saw a blurb about it, hetty, but not the details
those clues are getting stranger and stranger.... *crosses eyes*
nice numbers cait
oh wow, thanks haz. i thought they would be
is that thew second verse for blue suede shoes
then maybe you guys want the first to4/5, a volume of a book
Tom said something about it -- I was going to check the news after a good dose of Babble.
2nd to = big book
They are for hurshy chj LOL
Yes, Hetty. And thank goodness the Brits are so vigilant. Obviously, everyone is grateful to them for catching yet more nuts who want to kill innocent people.
second to4/5 is an old wird for a huge book--spelt like "not to you, not to us, but to **"
didn't Matty say she was headed over here...???
*three cheers for the Brits* hip-hip hooray!! hip-hip hooray!! hip-hip hooray!!
ok...i found the to4/5...phand...it's a double vowel word
no that is the 1st 4/5
Britsh police/intelligence have intercepted a plot to blow up US bound planes. The plan was to use explosive liquid. Nine planes were to be targeted, 21 people have been arrested.
no--2d to = obsolete word for empty
excuse me....nuts!
to4/6 pls?
haz - were they going to blow up just the planes, or ram them into something on the way like 9/11?
ugh! thnx
there are 2 to4/6s at the end of the list that start with 'plaything'
excuse me....nuts!
ahhh...ty bugzy
to 4/6 = Japanese car brand without the last two letters
stupid double posts, i'll see if this runs better for me later
Iwhat would this regis fellow be known for?
they planned to have the planes blow up over the Atlantic
They think that they were going to blow up planes. Explosive liquid was to be smuggled aboard in drinks cans, then set off mid-air.
and everyone who would have been flying across theAtlantic today is totally discommoded--all luggage being examined etc. etc
now i need the last two to5's
evan...Brazil or Pecan?
blow up planes in transit
does anyone have to to 5/10?
think roger rabbit, kateq
has child's plaything as part of the word
Okay, back
to5/10 is plural of the to4/4 before it
there are 4 of those
passengers are not allowed to bring any liquids on the plane, including water,lotions, and perfumes
the last two to's build on the to 4/6
nut for president,,,she would be out second nut-ty president after the peanut king of course
we can no longer board aircraft with carry on luggage or liquids. i think we ought to simply board nude - what could be simpler?
or cell phones or laptops, too
Haz, Britain must be totally devastated. Thank God the plot was discovered.
ty--had the singular--going the other way
wait, what's this about no carry on luggage?
Mothers with infants are being required to taste their baby's formula to prove it isn't poisoned/contaminated.
Yeah, Mab. Fly the naked skies.
omg...I told the O/H...I'm glad our daughter is back in TN....if she had to give up all her "potions and lotions" in her bags...she'd be heartbroken she's all girl...
i doubt britain is devastated - they caught them and foiled the plot
I think it would speed up the entire boarding process
The only carry on luggage allowed is money, passports, essential medication, all to be carried in a plastic bag.
great idea mab, and I bet that would cause an interest in airline travel, too!
I wondered how they would handle infants' needs -- are they going to confiscate the diaper bags also? what about people with oxygen tanks? this could be very interesting.
my friends just called from the airposrt here--they had already left behind the computer, the bottles of perfume, shampoo, etc. had to return more stuff to the car but , all things considered got thru security relatively easily
you mean like for today, or permanent new rule, haz?
no liquids, gels of any kind including any kind of electronic equipment, nude is an excellent idea, would move the lines quicker
*ponders mab's suggestion* never flyin' again if THAT goes thru!!
last two to5/14's? build from teh child's plaything?
Imagine being a baby-carrying mom with intent to blow oneself up--self yes, but baby?
Britain is on high alert as i think America is again
i mean can't you bring a book? sudoku? crossword puzzles?
I think nude might slow it down a bit lol
It's certainly being applied today, I don't know how long they are going to keep it up for.
yes we are on high alert
perhaps hospital gowns for the modest
hey, EasternBlue, Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!!!!!
yes--we are back at "red" in Washington--
Hmmm. Naked flying. They'd have to make the seats and the aisles a whole lot wider. Personal space would take on a new meaning.
thanks Annie!
No books. That's taking things too far in my opinion!
No hurshy ..no books
i flew to florida last week and i had my bag searched b/c they thought i had a knife ( i didn't) but i was comforted by the thoroughness of the security. they don't mess around
were on alert level orange..maybe we should change the theme
The states are on the highest alert --the only time it's been used since the "color" alert has gone into use.
well that's intolerable, you can't have a several-hour flight with no book!
I have decided to not fly anyway. I think there are too many ways to do damage they haven't thought of yet... but then perhaps as the daughter of a pilot I know too much.
FIREWORKS!!!! *passes around more blue for all*
yay cath
congrats cathyar
YAY Cathy! that vacation thing is sure working for you :-)
no books? gawd, I'd have to read those stupid magazines that the airline provides? good thing I never go anywhere!
congrats, cath
Yeah for Cath!!!
the end of travel for intellectuals...
here to clue for a bit! yes...it is stidmama...got the apt downstairs all clean and my tenant is IN!
as usual the authorities are way overreating
I imagine they are making up rules as they go along. It'll all calm down eventually.
t'is safer to fly than travel by any other means, including walking
woo hoo cathyar!!
you can bring books on board, how can you travel without books!
chj -- overeating? those fat ba****ds!
I still need the first to 5/12, don't know who or what the regis clue meant, I guess.
chj, do you mean over-eating or over-reacting?
hahahha overeacting
woo-hoo Cathy! *celebratory dance* hope this tenant is a good one.
That's me done. I'll come back later to clue
Current restrictions: UK to US allows NOTHING as carry-on. Essential medications are allowed (including milk for baby), but you'd better be prepared to prove it's medicine.
to5/12 - add a male.
YAY phandmd!
woo hoo phand!
Yeah for phand
congrats phandmd
but most of those fat ba****ds (thank you stid) are also overeating
me too stid...he's a handyman kind of guy so to help me out with the maintenance on the whole house he's living there for 1/2 the rent
thanks
wow. wow.
that sounds like a lovely arrangement, Cathy!
Current restricition: US domestic. NO FLUIDS. Medical exceptions only. So when I'm flying next week, I'll get shaving cream, toothpaste, etc from the concierge at my hotel.
to5/12 do you intend to *** (not"woman" )a piece of equipment?
to5/12 do you intend to *** (not"woman" )a piece of equipment?
toothpaste is a fluid?
good morning, riemann, what are you doing here so early? classes cancelled in honor of EasternBlue's birthday?
i don't understand no books. i literally go no where without a book, just in case. what would one do?
yes, and lotion too
and how could a book be dangerous?
Anything that does not break is a fluid.
tis...now that downstairs is cleaned up i'm using part of the rest of my vacation to do some late spring cleaning up here! (look busy don't I as I sit here babbling and passing out fake blue) ;)
sit quietly with one's hands folded in one's lap
That's it for me -- NO FLYING.
hursh -- fluids, gels...anything in somewhat aqueous format...
they will loosen up after the scare is over, they'll have to allow books
maybe people could... talk to each other...?
I'm not even telling Megan about all this racket...would scare that child to death...
no flying for me either...not till i get a REAL Blue in my hands for my vacation....
hurshy -- books are inherently dangerous -- they carry ideas, don't you know!
I think you can check your "fluids", just no carry on.
Stid, don't alarm me-here we are planning a round the world air trip in November
sherb - depends on if you like the looks of that naked person sitting next to you!! 8 )
but harp, if we're talking liquid explosive, and you're a suicide bomber, wouldn't it be just as dangerous checked as in carryon?
what if you have to...you know...use the loo? isn't that a liquid?
i suppose one cannot have writing materials either
The heightened airline restriction always cause problems for those of us who never go anywhere without an electronic tuner and a set of harp strings....
well...better run for now and get some work done...be bk later to help clue! *leaves behind the rest of the blue for EB for her b'day*
hetty - glad I saw that before I posted my last comment!
Apparently, the US domestic ban is only on fluids. I can still take a book, camera, etc. And yes, fluids are allowed in checked luggage.
later Cathy!
a clue please for the ha combo?
if you have explosive urine, flying should be the last thing on your mind LOL
well that's weird!
that's it. I'm never coming out of the water. never.
(oh...b4 i go...stidmama...will you be continuing the story today?)
you have to check your urine and your blood at the boarding gate
The plan was to bring the components of an explosive and mix them in flight
it's not a combo, munner
bye Cathy...thanks!!
ha6 a horse drawn cab
ha5 h + an4
When you think about it... when you fly, you are surrounded by jet fuel. Very few fluids are more volatile than that. So, damned if you do, damned if you don't?
they put the baggage that goes in the hold through a scanner... but the airports aren't equipped with scanners for hand luggage...
hetty - you should be fine...it is safer flying than driving - and most of us do that everyday....
I'm still not flying, riemann -- not unless my kids require it (and they are here with me, so I am safe)
I think the UK is stricter at the time, no carryon luggage. period.
except what do all those carnivores do with their carion? (**ducks***)
thanks, hurshy, should have seen those ha. Maybe it has something to do with waking up at 4 am this morning.
EB, i don't think we're worried about the safety so much as the boredom
lol harp!
yes, hetty -- by the time you travel, all this will be sorted out and they'll be letting pleasant looking grandma types on with pics of their grandkids again. :-)
last week was the first time i had flown since 9/11. it was a nice experience, but i could see how security measures have changed dramatically in 5 years
Judi used a word!
one would be reduced to conversing with the stranger sitting next to one
Yes, I know that, Eastern. It's just that the first leg is to Heathrow. Anyhoo, I don't fear dyin--I just don't want to be there when it happens!
oh, i have 3 NE, i need one more, all mine are real words, anybody have the fourth?
thanks, tor! wouldn't have seen that one if you hadn't pointed it out! :-)
Ooops. Bugger. Sorry. Tattletale, Torgone!
ansa
I'm an imp ... :D
sorry
oops i found my ne, nvm
pulled a peri :)
thanks mab...
I want manioc to be a word...
lol torgone
Afternoon all.
manioc is a word....
hetty- as Stid mentioned...it will sort itself out by the time you're ready to go...I mean...travel! 8 )
it's not in the puzzle, stid
but not in this grid...
yes, but not in the grid.
hi Jac!
shea a manioc, manioc on the floor
but it is a word
hi Jacs...
shes
65 left. Will pop back in later. Muscle relaxer kicking in. (Bad back today).

way to go Judi, rest, and be better.
bye Judi...hope you feel better!!
afternoon Jac :) ...I'm now the proud possessor of a Spinergy game...
'jewed' was fine, 'manioc' not
Feel better Judi ..
Bye Judi hope you are better soon
Thanks, Stid. Later all. Don't drink any strange fluids and be kind to your airport screeners.
eb...its not a good time to say the words hi jacs

Urgh lol chj
Lol chj ..

oh!
oops!!!
"fonic" is sew two a wurd!
sherb, what is a Spinergy game?
okay, taking a break, back later.
Sherb - that arrived fast! Have you played it yet?
what's the 3rd letter of the en7?
Hursh, "c"
Hursh, "c"
thanks
Hetty - Spinergy - Where random words and scenarios collide to create big laughs! Using three random words, Tellers try to outwit your fellow players while creating everything from hilarious pickup lines to surprising movie plots. A game where you never know what might happen next. With over 1.5 billion combinations, it's different every time you play!
hetty - you have three random words and you have to use them in different scenorios... a pick up line, a movie plot etc... Jac - it just came this morning (amazon is great!)... debating whether to keep it or give it to my sister as a present (and then play it...)
O.K. I shall look it up, thanks sherb and Jac
amazon is like scotty - they multiply their delivery estimates by a factor of 4 so you're impressed when they get it there so much faster
brb - phone.
hursh, for the en7 proceed from bottom up and to the left
ordered on Monday, arrived this morning... less than the price in the shops... no postage costs... I call that good service...
there's a lot up and to the left of the c :)
got 'em though!
it is good, sherb, it's just amusing how they always tell you it's going to take so long and it never does
now, is the od7 related to odometer or anything?
od7 is related to giving :)
ah, thanks sherb
put o in front of your do6 hurshy
od7 = "Any of the large predacious winged insects of the order Odonata, which includes the dragonflies and damselflies, characterized by long brightly colored bodies, two pairs of membranous wings, and large compound eyes."
That should help ..
lol, if i hadn't already found it i'd be mad at you for giving too much away, tor
dragonflies & damselflies...I like that!!
of course, I'm still waiting for the 8 other items I was seduced into ordering when I went to look for the Spinergy game...
OOPS!!! Guess I should proofread once in a while . . . Idiot . .
why, except for the wings, that sounds like a description of me. odd.
you're a large predacious insect?
You're a brightly colored damsel, mab ..
now where's the knightinshiningarmorfly to save the damselfly from the dragonfly?
or maybe there'll be a twist... a shrekfly
predacious, multi-colored, etc. yep- that's me.
hurshy - tee hee hee!!
no, a princesssbridefly
Morning.... :-}
G'mornin' Lupe!
there's no dragon in the princess bride... if we had an ROUSfly, i could see
>:-]
morning Lupe :)
hi lupe :)
hmm, is the ho7 weird?
yes
thx for the greetings...gotta earn my paycheck now.
hurshy - not if you're a rhyming witch doctor....
yes, it is the plural of the 6, use all the ooooo
ho7 - look at nut's profile for a clue... in fact the whole word (pl of ho6)
ah.
i never think of it with h, only with v
thanks :)
Heya Lupe. you just missed me totally give away a word ..
but you covered it well, tor...
I'm an imp ...
this grid is driving me crazy!!! i'm getting the list.
Although I got my fireworks, I just noticed that I am missing a 7-letter word. But that no word came up as a 8-letter word and 40 points
If you lived in or near the badlands (Alberta) you'd know the "ho" words right away
inge - there are no 8 letter words today...
hurshy - I've tried this listless thing for the last few days, and I can't see the point in it... it's not really challenging, just takes a lot of time...
but that no-word registered as an 8 letter word, even though I have counted only seven letters in it. I am just going to let it ride, since I have 149 words and 1577 points
it is challenging, i think, and it takes less time as you get used to it. but i can see it wouldn't be for everyone.
i often need to occupy time anyway...
whats the point in going listless and then asking for clues.....the people giving the clues are gonna use a list to help
and sometimes it's just too easy with the list
inge - fickle babble grid 8 )
oh, and my word stats claim taht I have found an 8-letter word!! hehe
but chj, you don't get as much info with the clues. like you might find out there is an fe5, but not where it falls alphabetically
you have the magic touch, inge!
I like Babbler's game of trying to find as many words as possible in 30 minutes without looking at the stats or chat log...
when you know where things fall alphabetically, it's practically a gimme.
and using a list allows you to actually figure out what the word should be instead of just monkeying the word
I just take my own sweet time...use "blues clues" and list as needed...
i have many games. i always make myself find at least 50% before looking at stats, and 80-90% before opening the chat log...
today, i have housework, so i'm in more of a hurry.
hence, list for the last 17.
Have you noticed how patriarchal todays words are? I keep tangling with the male words, sing, and pl
i understand the challenge of going without a list but then you shouldnt ask for or look at clues
that's good going... I can seldom get more than 60-70% without clues...
*wonders what this 'housework' is of which hurshy speaks* *giggles*
there is still a difference between clues and the list. before the list existed, people gave each other clues for words they'd actually found. that's camaraderie
I really want cement to be in this grid...I've typed it enough...
ok, so I"m obviously not going to finish this puzzle today
it was like being in the trenches together... people shared bits of lists... anything to finish...
there is the occasional puzzle i do completely clue-and-list-free, but i don't feel like the same level of challenge each day.
why, ladynoire, did we ignore your pleas for help?
happy birthday blue!
but your using the list indirectly by asking for clues...other people who used the list are providing the clues...if youre a purist..no list, no clues
lady - I hope you feel better & your migraine goes away...
sorry, ladynoire, didnt know you were not well.
*throws a monkey-wrench into chj's theory* UNLESS...the person offering said clue went list-less...
thanks feather!!!
i'm not a purist, chj, and once a person has a word, it really doesn't make any difference how they found it when they give you a clue. i don't really like it when people give me more info than i'm looking for sometimes, but there isn't much i can do about that without being rude
i think hurshy is just setting a personal challenge, rather than trying to be a purist
...but overall, I say...to each his/her own!!
yes, it's a personal challenge, and it allows me to make the puzzle last longer, which in my boring, purposeless existence is often necessary.
plus ita a headache for the cluers to be asked for a clue foa a letter without knowing the length of point value or which of many words with the same length and point value
then they need not answer, chj. i never EXPECT anyone to give me clues, i don't think anyone should.
we don't have a constitutional right to clues.
I'd rather be asked for a clue by hurshy than by someone who's just going through the list by rote and asking for help every time they get to a word they can't find instantly...
personally, i love guessing which word someone is missing who isn't using the list - that's another game, to figure which words are the weirdest or most likely to be overlooked.
i agree with that sherb
Amen, sherb and hurshy. I also hate too obvious clues: id + eye + hoop + cross ??
Hi all, I have but a few minutes, but I've missed you so. If you refresh, you'll see I'm even in today's theme (I think LOL)
anyway, it's EB's birthday... let's get back to the party!!!!!!!!!!
tor said a wooord...tor said a wooord...
lol
I think half the fun is giving clues ... it makes you think in ways you normally woudn't
well some people come on line and simply say im missing an s word....its like trying to find a needle in a haystack
(talk about obvious clues ) tee hee!!
Hi everyone
*passes around cake & party hats*
:( . . . *sigh* . . .
Happy Birthday, whoever it is!!!
tor - next time you say a word (and I'm sure you will), can you please make it one I don't have... I still need 7 Cs, for example...
yes, sometimes it is chj, but that is why only the people who feel like doing that should respond to such requests.
tor - it's ok...
oh, I was waiting for the cake....
why, thank you lady!!
*takes party hat* this will be fun at the academy! Hi Judy!
Is it chocolate cake?
ok im finished venting
HB EAstern
hi 1j2u3d4y!!
ooh, nice icon, Deutsch :)
hi 1j2u3d4y!!
ARe you having a pool party?
Can somebody explain me, why my word stats don't match with my word list? I have one 7 word more in my word list than in my word stats.
i totally understand that some people don't like looking for the needle in the haystack, i just don't want it to prevent those of us who find it fun from being able to do it
Can somebody explain me, why my word stats don't match with my word list? I have one 7 word more in my word list than in my word stats.
I enjoyed that bit of therapy... :)
oh, CH, I missed it - want to vent some more ? LOL
thanks, sherb!
I don't get the time to stick around and finish any game board, but I sure do like visiting with all you friendly folks.
That happened to someone else yesterday White ....
is anyone else having trouble adding words?
dont get me started
lady - it's usually a jacuzzi : )
Eastern, that sounds good
it's one of the mysteries of Babble, whitewitch...
whitewitch - try 'refreshing'...
there are glitches in the server sometimes...
ok, officially over half done! *jumps back in oven to finish geting *done*
thanks guys
Chj - I have to admit, I'm one of the guilty party - but I try not to ask until I've looked, checked the list and the dictionary ...
bake, tndaisy, bake!
refreshing was a good tip
*runs into chat log* HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EB !!!!!! :D:D:D
are you having a lovely day? have you got cake?
whitewitch...I'm getting smarter in my old age!!

Yes, I'm a bluuuuuue zeeeebra....

*waits for the ma6 clue*
hi sherb! :D:D
ma 6/21- area above a fireplace
ma 6 is that shelf over your fireplace, or the word for coat in German
EB, that's another stunning icon, as per usual. I hope you are saving them.
ma 6 - santa puts little presents on things hanging from this...

Tor - excellent!!
Shepherd .. sorry Kenny
Kenny Wayne Sheppard Band, or that's how they're listed in Last.fm.
I am still geting their Heimatbrief, and have a penpal there, who sends me news articles

He's a fantastic blues guitar player with some great songs ..

oh dear, there are no Z words, raelite. : /
Goodbye Charm! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!
welcome raelite!
to my dismay, I did notice that
Hi Air Jordan!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
raelite - if you are 'new' , a 'stats' panel should show at the bottom of the grid (for about 2 weeks)...it shows the first letter & # of words that start with that letter...
welcome raelite!
in my defense, I've been playing for 2 hours and have 72 words though.
Hello raelite!How are you doing?There are no z words
thanks for the clue abe

Hi Mymuse
diving in to search for remaining 50...will bob up from time to time
hi abe
what happened to lickety's page?
i think it just went down mymuse, tho i heard it was working before
mymus, I wondered the same thing - it was here this morning, I came back to finish, and gone
what?
uh-oh - spaghettios!
i'm down to my last 30- suffering has begun!
afternoon
hi feather!
hi featherbee!
abe - that's what I came back to finish - and hi feather. :-)
hey feather!
there's always bj's page
abe - i have 30 also :)
ugh. i was napping, and dreaming of being very tired and falling asleep while walking around, and then the phone rang.
i feel all off kilter
omg feather - i consider myself pretty good at dream interpretation, but this one is just too easy: YOU NEED A NAP
i shall be going there soon helen :) i hate being awakened during dreams feather
LOL
naps sometimes do that instead of feeling refreshed afterward
lol helen!
lol HK
well i'm wide awake now
not happy, but awake
wish i hadn't started this one, its horrid !!
it was my plan to sit here for 10 minutes & then take a nap - i just hope i can make it that long :)
I am totally stuck on 3 MO's.....I need mo 6,24 and 5,12
heh, gl helen
maybe you'll catch some of my sleepy vibes :)
mo 6/24- a piece of art made with tiny pieces of glass
last mo 5/12 is a rented room
or, a place you rent a room - sorry
thanks Wolvie
thx abe!

I have the room, I need the other mo 5,12
thanks for the rented room wolvie

hey any time, ww - now - if i could just figure out the art clue...
wolvie - little square tiles that make up a picture
Hi can I have a clue for the no7?
ahhh - oh man - pass the fish. That's what Abe said, and I just didn't click.
loud (or no 5/14) minus last letter + so 4/5
Wolvie- it took me a few tries before too!
glad to know I'm not alone - at least it didn' t take me as long as teepee. ;-0
I do not see how the little tiles can come out of this grid,....UGH
mo plus sa 5/12 minus last letter
oh, I see ,it, I was typing in Hebrew!
lol wolvie!
thanks
ty wolvie that sa I didn't have!
Hi every1! This is the worst Babble day ever 8( It's me..Gramma...I can't get my computer to work, so I drove 30 miles to play and this isn't working right either. I have no word list, no box at the bottom and now I've lost Lickety's boxes. That was the only thing that kept me going. Now what am I supposed to do? This STINKS!
a fish, too, mymus. really. :-)
30 miles - a true addict. Sorry you are having such troubles. Hope it gets better. I wish I knew what happened to lickety, too.
try babbler's anonymous, then click general and today's date to get BJ's list
a new word for me wolvie
hi gramma - geez - that's terrible! guess you gotta make like the pioneers & rely on your wits & cunning to survive, lol
Hi Gramma. I'm sorry you are having a bad babble day :(
All my previous entries were on Lickety's. I would have to start over w/one row of the grid now missing
a loyal and dedicated babbler at heart you are Gramma!!!
gramma - if it makes you feel better - none of us are able to access lickety's list either :(
a clue for either fo 6 please?
mymus, for me too - a typo, in fact. ;-)
then I looked it up
how are you missing a line of the grid?
hi Munner! fo 6- enemy + males
hi munner!
also the singular form
thanks abe. I was on earlier and those were my last two for fireworks.
thanks abe
congrats Munner! yw
congrats munner!!
congrats munner
congrats, munner!
wtg munner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is today's theme might I ask?
blue for Eastern Blue's B'day
thanx mymuse!
i'm going down for that nap now - see you all later :)
Sweet dreams hk ..
bye HK
see you later Helen
congrats munner!

Hi Faeriekae
Had a quick babble this morning and got 52. See how far I can go now. The days seem to have gone when I had time to finish.
they're hydrangeas mymusieme - it was such a pretty picture I couldn't resist. I love naturally blue flowers.
hi oggy & Frances
hows everyone doing.
site is very slow today
the to's are killing me
so is my brain
great thanks oggy - the site is slow -but then so am I!
lol, abe - I'm afraid I'm in tp mode. ;-)
Hi abe, Annie, faerie, mymuseime and snowy......and anyone else not mentioned!
i cant get on lickety, is something wrong.
i'm having trouble with the to 5's. you too Wolvie?
server must be down or something
Wow Wolvie....don't we go well together?
yep. I have one, the to plus guy
I take that back - I'm having trouble with one to 5/12, the 6/21, and one to 4, of all things. I have the 2 5/14's
having a spot of trouble with the "o" words
Sure do, frances!
there is one that rhymes with a living unit, not a house, but a c****
abe, is that for me? remember, I'm in tp mode.
didn't I read on babanon that licketys page was to finish? I wouldn't swear to it as I was away on hols at the time. I use brandyjacks list so I'm not very up on the site
hi folks, how goes it?
o + give to charity (od 7); it was for you Wolvie, wait, what's tp mode?
you know - teepee. My nemesis
Hi TheFiz
HA HA. yes, it was for you the to 5/12 and to 6/21 the plural. rhymes with housing unit
hi Fiz
Fizzy ..
hi the Fiz.
just a few minutes to grab a few words before a meeting - i'm having a tough time working babble into my schedule recently...
oh boy - thanks - I'll be looking for that
ok, Wolvie, how about this- it rhymes with a French cuisine that involves melting cheese
Light dawns, abe - just before your last bit of help - thanks! Do you need any 5/14 clues or others?
raelite - a clue for an o-word = that is a bad o*** ( another word for sign)
cheese is always good tho- I luv cheese.
Wolvie - I do (desperately ) need to 5/14 clues! mmm. cheese....
oh thank you!!
welcome
to5's build off the to4/6
take the kids play thing to 4/6, add the opp of off for one of them, and make the 4/6 plural for the other
thanks Wolvie and Cathyar! you guys rock!
thanks wolvie and cat
u just like me for my beer! ;)
lol
yw abe and ww - we all help each other. :-)
speakin o which...i think i'll crack one open! anymore clues anyone?
Cathyar did you finish? congrats! (no beer for me, i have to drive soon :) )
about 4 hours ago
where was I? i am a spaced out today for real!
lol..guess ya don't need any brewski then abe! ;)
did stidmama say if she's doing storytime 2nite?
lol Cathyar. I'm sticking to water! yes she did
did she indicate what time? i wanna sit in this time if possible
specially since it's EB's birthday...
hmmm, i'm often caught storytime around 8 pm EST, but i'm not certain of the start time
what happened to Lickety's clues? It was there a while ago.
ho 7/36 - has anyone a clue for me please
that'd be about 9 here...i'll try to keep an eye open for her..when son isn't playin on the puter.
lickety's gone?
ho7 is plural for the ho6/24 which rhymes with a witch doctor's cures.
(s)
ho7 rhymes with island witchcraft? vo****
fireworks - finally!
afternoon
Yay Wolvie!
hooray for wolvie!!!
YAY!!! CONGRATS WOLVIE!
hi Dorens
yay wolvie!!!
hi Dorens!
congrats, wolvie
the first "o" word?
hi dorens
yay wolvie!
sooo bad - had the word on my list - just not typed in. le sigh
mrpresident1968@yahoo.com.au - maybe he has an answer
hi abe, muse, annie...i stayed away a long time fiz
cold brewski anyone?
raelite: here's the def: A group or sequence of eight
actually prefer wine, but a beer will do in a pinch... i made the guacamole
oc + a wee bit is oc5/14
thanks
am i being blind on these so6's? are they words i should know?
yummy...sorry dorens labatt's blue on the menu tonite for now *pops off the cap n hands it to dorens*
about half the time I am not able to get back to the puter to finish, which plays havoc with the stats
guys who like stockings, dorens - sing. and plural
they are weird Dorens. item worm under shoes + male , then plural
Dorens, the first 2 I had never seen - what abe says
i'll take it cath...had a blue moon earlier...maybe we should find some blue nun (do they still make that?)
sorry had to leave for a while -congrats wolvie & hi Dorens
Or, the mice in Cinderella got turned into these, for the coach
thanks cat and mymuse
so6's...someone said earlier a person who has a fetish with a certain footwear ...and plural
thanks wolvie, abe...i was trying so hard to find social, society..words that i DO know and hi snowy
dunno... perhaps there's a wine that has the word blue in it?
is blue nun a wine?
this is an odd-ish grid, Dorens - at least to me.
used to be one called blue nun...advertised on radio a lot--i think it was Jerry Stiller saying "I'd like a Blue Nun please" kind of funny
oh...and the person with the footwear fetish spells it wrong...removes the last consonant
so 6 one who holds land (old english)
yes odd-ish is a good way to put it....
really!!! gosh...one can learn so much whilst babblin
hi everyone - what a blue day we're having...lol
fo6? either one?
well guys - off the clean the abode. see you all tomorrow!
hi firefly... in honor of Eastern Blue's birthday today!
off to clean - note to self - learn to type. :-)

hi firefly!
c u wolvie
i have to confess ...i have tried to change my icon to something blue and i just dont know how.
yay, fireworks! and 2 mins before i have to leave!
sorry that's ho harp

i just googled "labatts" and copied the first icon i saw to my hard drive then loaded it thru my account
yay, fiz!!!***!!!
annie... go to my account....look at your picture and click edit...then follow directions....goggle image the word you're looking for
anyone need a quick clue?
thanks
bye wolvie, Blue Nun (the wine) is still available apparently ( ty google) -didn't like it in the 70s so doubt I would now.
Cath, what do you mean "copied" how did you do that, i feel so dumb
YAY FIZ... WANNA BLUE? the sound it makes when ya pop off the cap sounds like yer name ;)
Annie - I just find a pic I like, right click it and hit Save Picture, and then go to My Account and edit icon and upload the saved pic - then REFRESH to see it
fiz can you clue od7?
O + give to charity

yw
(i have a filefolder exclusively for babble ic5/12
Cor firefly - wouldn't like to meet that little fella! lo -he is very blue tho1
is this supposed to be this hard?
sometimes the words are obscure rae
you get used to t he weird words, raelite.
lol raelite - depends on who you ask, I guess...
I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall, but I just can't stop
snowy - in captivity, they aren't poisonous, so you could meet one there (their poison is from their native diet)
it get's a little easier as you continue to do these raelite, but you certainly learn a lot of new words
now I have to know
there's a whole bunch of weird words that show up again and again - you just start looking for them right away.
am going to try now, thanks all
we give good clues to help for the really obscure ones tho
you can officially say "hello, my name is raelite and i am a babble addict"
I speak six languages, how many more bloody words are there???
np...let us know how it goes annieb and if u need any further assistance
lol a lot in English that are somewhat specialized or obscure
theres always a new one
ok. I'm done venting
abe - excellent choice ic** :)
lol rae...some words are actually not in any dictionary i've ever seen.
they look like half-words
ther is still a 2 letter list on babblers anonymous raelite. The list can help a lot -focuses your mind better. It just takes practise and enable does seem to specialise in the weird & wonderful when it comes to words!
ok kids - gotta run - will try to pop in later to clue...
bye fiz
see u fiz
icemen
later fiz
oops...
my turn to vent you know yer an addict when you listen to a lecture and take notes looking for the good babble words, prof used one yeseteerday that was 18 letters long
lol Fiz were you thinking of Blue Nude by Picasso?
thanks firefly!
bye the fiz. lol onyx
what was the word onyx?
whoops sorry folks

cathy, that's been happening to people, but I don't know why
daisy, looks same to me as well
i'll go refresh and see if that makes a diff
splashing waves in ocean
the "wall hanging" is a sign at my ex husband's fire dept

Y word...be.... the horizon

ugh, it's the plural of the one I had!!!
which do you see my muse? the moon? or the blue nun?
chj, how might I have helped last night? what are the duties of the tag team buddy?
the moon
or just make a blueberry "smoothie" (do they make smoothies in Great Britain? they're like a milkshake, only no milk...)
GAH! plurals!
hi stid...nice work there (your ic**)
wow, kind of cool being Red in the middle of all this blue
oohh...that sounds soooo yummy stidmama

hi k
hi stid...yeah seems to be clearing up finally...good because I wanted to go out for a walk
109 left. This'll take all day. :^P
and hi to chj as well ;)
chj has imbibed in blue booze too much, methinks!
clearing there? we're expecting thunderstorms tonite and tomorrow a.m. here.
no it won't hoaf...it's weird but not that hard
soda
Sorry.
yes hoaf and we're here to clue!
have you been mixing the beer with the blue nun, chj?
hardly anyone is asking tho
a walk sounds lovely -- I am in the middle of another scarf, so am just waiting for the resist to dry -- then I will put some ink on and head over to my folks' for a tea party!
it is raining & COLD here -in August!!!!!!! Summer in Wales now happens in the 2 weeks I am on holiday. It was getting dark at 8.45pm. Am thinking of getting the Christmas Decs down from the ayttic1
hoaf, did you choose your name from today's grid?
brb...son needs me a minute
I actually love thundestorms (probably b/c we don't get them too often...I'm sure it would get old)
blue nun...does she have a sister
a good day for a teaparty stid...still chilly out for August
she just might, why, do you know her?
oc5/12?
oh snowyowl, I am sorry it is not warm for you -- would send you some warm if I could (meantime, how about a cup of tea and scones with fresh blueberries?)
lol nrkii
lol snowy...we've had a week like that here too
nrkii: Heh. No, I've had that nickname for, what, 19 years?
no thunderstorms are still cool after over 50 years... i pull up a seat at the window when they're really good, kristin
lovely!!!!!!!!!!! TY stid.
It (evidently) sounds like my name if you're very young and very drunk.
lalf a hoaf
i LOVE thunderstorms!!!
that's funny, first time I've seen you is today, and you're in the grid... the babble zone...
BTW, "hoaf" isn't one of the words for the day -- I've already tried.
:^)
:-) glad to help, snowyowl.
oh, snowy... come to London... it's always warm here... (even when you want it to be cool...)
i was in the grid the other day
I tried it too!
Good curry, too.
ooh -- I almost asked for a fish, but I saw it just before I hit enter...
and I WAS a word
I'm so rarely in the grid, and never so far my full name with it's two i's
I know we should be be grateful for out temperate weather. We are very lucky not to have awful extremes of weather, but a little warmer 7 dryer would be lovely
chj was a word?
oh, you mean your proper name chj?
no curt was
curt was a word yesterday...
ahh..lol hi curt...never knew that was yer name
i'm out now....water plants, get rid of chipmunk carcasses my cat has left for me, that sort of thing....happy babbling all
well, if nancy ever shows up, let me know, because that's a legit word too
I"m going to pinkisthenewblog. too frustrated to continue here. need a break......
guess i didn't read your profile close enuff

yes...finished about 5 hrs ago! :)
hi jilli!
hi jill!!!
hi jill, min, torgone!
lbdawger: how would I be able to figure out the point total ahead of time? I'm pretty clueless today ...

has anyone told you about angelsongs pbabble page at the bottom of the page hoaf? There's a load of info re babble there and there are 2 letter lists available on Babblers anonymous & Licketys page -they are worth a look.
jill? a blue?
oooh -- so close, Jill!
Hello jillibus and mymuseisme!How are we doing today
Alrighty. I'll take a look. Hmm ...
hi jillibus
hoaf...state the first two letters , the numbers of letters in the word, and the point toal for the word...eg, oc5/12 means a word beginning with oc five letters long whose tiles add up to 6 points (multiply by 2 for 5 letter words, 3 for six letter word etc for the total points)

Not a beer drinker, Cath, but I did note your choice - lol!

snowyowl
still need the AN 4/4 after the licorice flavor.... *wrings hands*
hi roncook -how are you/
my son LOVES blue slushies!!!
Generally, you will need one of the lists to know what word you need. Asking for things like "all the 'a' words" will not get much response ..
Actually, it is not a drink,but it is the only thing clue I like to slurp out of a straw.Anyone have any of that
ho 5/18 - clues please...thanks
Got it -- find a word list, get irritated, beg for help? :^)

hi hetty
ooh, the no 7 is a cool word, straight out of 19th century childrens books
Thanks, muse and haz
Hi snowyowl, hi everyelse one!
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, He sounds too blue to fly. The midnight train is whining low, I'm so lonesome I could cry. I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawling by. The moon just went behind a cloud To hide its face and cry. Did you ever see a robin weep, When leaves began to die? That means he's lost the will to live, I'm so lonesome I could cry.
enemies are always male, because usually it's MEN who start the fights!!!! (sorry to all you good babbling men...)
chj, you're really bringin' me down! :-)
stid, you've never seen a good old-fashioned cat fight?
I dunno 'bout enemies always being male -- you've never worked for my producer before ...
*poof in** Hey everyone! Came to print grid to do while kids play outside. Crystal Gayle..did she ever cut that hair??! :) **poof out**
it's getting to be like a Lifetime movie in here...
I always think that "no" word peculiar--looks as of it relates to sound but it actually relates to smell!
actually, no nrk... :-) guess I've been lucky.
une, I used to have a dress that was covered in bluebirds (when I was 6) and it had asong on it, but now I can't remember the song...
as far as fo7/44 goes, i have a digital fetish.. im a fo*****
thanks for the no word, hetty! LOL
Don't forget to pluralise, chj.
Aren't men at the beginning of our problems? MENtal, MENstruate, MENingitis,etc.Sorry guys, just kidding!
i must be missing something.
ROFLMAO, Min!
nrkii, I bet it was "somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness"
i was riding in my ha6/24 when i noticed a no7/32 odor
I was blue, just as blue as I could be Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me Then good luck came a-knocking at my door Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on
But men DON'T menstrate. :^)
good one eb
nice eastern blue!!!
may the blue bird of happiness fly up your nose
ooh EB that's my favorite song!

LOL!
Hi all - is lickety's absence temporary or *gasp* permanent?

could be, Hetty!
Does anyone have a clue for the mo 5/12 word please
what was that about MANure falling on whose head
I already have the plural of what is in the night sky.
minver, you might stay here when you travel
the last mo 5/12 is like mo*** 6, we'll leave the light on for ya
MANacles -need i say more?
or the plural of the celestial orb
tom bodette
I know it's the el over the fireplace but am often amazed to see how many publications use le instead
gotta love tom bodette
Thank you for my mo clues.Finished my mo words now
MANeschevitz
mano et mano
he was on wait wait dont tell me the other week
oh. well, yes, jilli, people don't bother much about spelling these days. or other things either... pet peeve: when the grocery store wants to emphasize something and puts quotes instead of asterisks, e.g. "FRESH" peaches
lbd, word, twice!
to be pollitically correct...there is no man...it is person
lbd said a wo-o-o-rd -- twice!
my dictionary says that ma**** is a variant spelling of ma****, so either works...
nrkii,I think Tom Bodette is in New England.I haven't heard him since I moved to NY. I forgot all about him.
jillibus - the word can be spelt either way, but with different meanings.
*blush* oops
hursh - how about the wandering apostrophes?
Haz, I know - that's my point!!!
haz, but one of the meanings is "variant of xxxxxx"
ugh, yes. but i have to go, my dinner is ready. bye all. :)
bye hurshy
you all might want to check out banterist.com for some laughs
Goodbye hurshy! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him, The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him. One common language I'm afraid we'll never get. Oh, why can't the English learn to set A good example to people whose English is painful to your ears? The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears. There even are places where English completely disappears. In America, they haven't used it for years! Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
hoaf - oc words are related to 8
oc6/21 - add the French aunt without her last vowel.
bbl happy babbling everyoe
Just figured that bit out. :^)
jilli, I've just been researching the "ma" word in my enormous OED and find that of the two variant spellings the "le" has historical precedence and is more common in English literature, even of a ma**** piece, than is its later version. Both spellings derive from he French "manteau"--a cloak
im boycotting apostrophes
bye mymuse!
*breaks into another song* the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain....
later mymuse
and capital letters as well
Now then, there's an interesting word. Do you know where boycott comes from?
where haz?
this verbal class distinction by now should be antique--I totally agree, chj
and that one, EB, was supplied by my uncle to the movie Pygmalion - his dad was a philologist and used phonetcs and immersion before WWOne
BOYcott another male word
Yes please, HJz I do (Hand up and waving to get attention)
I'll let hetty tell you.
BOYcott? ah MAN!
ooh! jilli...cool!!
he was a captain, actually--take it from there, Haz
*calls on hetty*
So, back to puxxling out the oc clue - ocio** doesn't work...
Captain Boycott was an extremely unpopular landowner in Ireland. His tenants waged a campaign against him in which they refused to deal with him etc. It has become known as a boycott.
jilli - think 8 legged sea object as the start....
hi, all-- I just tried to go to lickety's page, and got a "site not found" message... Is it me?
hey, puxxling is a neat word, no?
jill=oc6 oc+cross letter+picnic pest
Workin' for me right now ...
lib - happening to many people today...
Thanks haz, the phone was ringing. Stupid marketing nuisance
hi lib -no not just you.
ty, eb
so is drixxling
ty, snowy
hi lib!
yw lib
it's person cott
interesting haz
sa5/12? I suck at this ...
hi, krstinc!
sa5/12 - add frozen water
sa+frozen water
right im personcotting all apostrophes and capital letters
there should be a special list of such terms as "boycott" and "quisling" in some reliable dictionary
kristinc: that's an ... odd word.
it is hoaf...one of many odd words found on babble...glad you got it
then "quisling" could be spelt "quasling" to maintain the anti-patriarchal balance
good chj....i do the same, it;s the only way to live
eponyms
oc6 not coming - let's try the two so6/24s
Welcome to babble, hoaf! It specialises in odd words.
But Quisling was a person as well.
jilli - so - sounds like what you wear under shoes + grown up boy (and then boys)
kristinc: easy hint. :^)
oc6 adds a "t" to the oc5 ahead of it
chj - like "leotard"
anr the word pirate comes from clarence pirate who loved wo walk around london with an eyepatch and a fake pegleg
Haz, that's my point. And Qui is the masculine form of Who? in Latin.
Then there's Spooner, with his spoonerisms (he loved his queer dean)
But if he was Scandanavian then the Latin root wouldn't apply, would it? Or would it?
Thanks hetty and EB - FIREWORKS!
quisling was a norwegian who collaborated with the naaaaarzis (doing my churchhill impression)
Mrs Malaprop - there, I've thought of a female one.
chj - you making that pirate thing up?
Latin always applies, to any Indoeuropean language
oh, eb, I remembered what was on my bluebird dress... it said, "Mr Bluebird's on my Shoulder..."
jillibus: another hint for the so6/24 words?
he;s working on my edginess
I think--anyway, makes a good point
quiz was supposedly made up on a bet
no, mrs malaprop i believe was a fictional character
nrkii - Zipideedodah...zippideeaye!!
Not "There's a bluebird on my windowsill..."? Dang, and I looked up the words
giving the pirate myth character
well done jilli!
I've just realised that!
zippety doda zippety a
jillibus: got it. thanks!
I'm so glad you brought her up, Haz,even if her name begins in a suspiciously male way
BTW, you can't find "Song of the South" anywhere in the US ...
I believe it's doo dah
woo hoo jilli!!!
yw, hoaf, but I didn't give the hint!
okay, I'm gonna scoot now and do some things around home. Hopefully I'll be back later for storytime...if I don't have to fight my husband for the computer. Interesting thing about the pirates.
and ay
hoaf - a lot of racial issues with SOTS...
and there's many a truth in fiction
bye kristin!
I read a previous hint ... and my feeble little brain finally clunked into gear.
later kris!
bye kris
(poof)
easternblue - yeah, I know ... but they use footage of it in the Disney Corportate Indoc^H^H^H^H^HOrientation video.
and I'm going to have another late lunch and check out those wordy websites...TTFN
think of all Dickens' names and the way they have entered the language
bye all!
bye kristinc!
hey y'all!
hoaf...didn't know that...interesting!
as a lawyer..we used the socratic method..and doctors take the hippocratic oath...not to be confused with the rhinocratic oath (thats for eye nose and throat doctors)
hi/bye kristin!
bowdlerisms -Thomas Bowdler was buried in the graveyard of the church I attended as a child.
Do politicians take the democratic oath?
what does that term mean, snowy? i used to know but i've forgotten.
i wanna take the chocoholic oath
no they just take our money
haz, here in the u.s. they take the hypocritical oath.
bye jilli...
hi evan, is it blue day today?
right on ping
hi there, chj!
he 'censored' words in writing that he considered inappropriate ping
Congratulations jillibus on your fireworks!Good for U
Goodbye kristinc!I will see you tomorrow in the chat!
I thought it was the Republicans who take our money
Actually,politicians in general take everyone's money
oh, thanks snowy!
Does anyone have a clue for the no 7/32 word please
i don't, min, sorry
1st 4 letters of no5/14 + so4/5 Min
I think I'm going to cry. I had half of the words typed in at Lickety's this morning. Now when I opened it they are gone and I had not entered them into Babble yet.
Min - starts with the 'loud sounds' & ends with ____one
oh no! pooe Merk!!!
Oh merk!
oops...Poor Merk!!
i want to make a shout out to all my friends in the uk who may not have known that i was funnin with ya earlier...also all you woMEN...i love england, scotland wales and ireland and all persons of the opposite sex
Deep breaths Merk. That's not nice! How well do you remember them?
bummer, merk - i think that happened to some other people as well :(
Not well. I'm jet lagged and did them at 1:30 a.m. when I couldn't sleep.
Too late, chj. We're all mortally offended.
Merk,I feel for you!I usually do it in Babble first then in Lickety's.Or I print out the list & write the words.
:-(((
Me too .. I don't know why ..
chj - he he he, not what you was tellin me earlier!
Merk - maybe you should forget about doing the grid today and just enjoy the chat. Especially if you're still a bit jet-lagged!
LOL chj! quite the gentleMAN
i missed the whole thing, chj, and it's against my principles to read the chat log - lucky dog, you!
LOL snowy
I just got home. I think I should unpack. I thought I could finish in under an hour and get them typed in. I should type them in as I go.
i knew id get forgiveness from wales
Don't let him off the hook, snowyowl. I'm hoping to get a compensation package from chj for hurt feelings etc.
Does anyone have a clue for the oc 5/14 word please
i love daffodils and leeks
We have long memories in Ireland......
Never mind! I just got the oc 5/14 word. Thank you!
bbl!
bye Ping...

Hi again -- back for another round of Search the Grid :) --- EB, looks like your birthday celebration has continued steadily since this a.m.

hi ch1212
ch1212 - indeed it has...I was off for a bit but came back to chat/clue as needed!!
Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
Shoulda seen that one.
Hello ch1212!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
bye lynxxxx....hi Nef!!
ibd, how can i tell whether im trouble with you when your icon is olive
Thanks Minveryork -- plugging away at this one :)
Is this grid as hard as it looks on first glance?
no, it's harder
I think it's a very difficult grid.
LOL! :D
(Nah, not really but it is a toughie)
chj, keeps you wondering huh! ;)
I just started and have 17 words; but now don't see anything!
eb - i puilled my elo from my cd collection so i could lieten to blue songs today
And I've VOWED that I won't spend the rest of the day here because I need to do some other things besides enjoy this place all day!
eletric light orchestra...jeff lynn
to 5/12 after the large book?
rennie - 8 )
:-D yes....
Nef, start from the bottom right corner. you might see some more
to5/12 - a heavy weight followed by the wedding vow word.
tx
It can then be pluralised for to6/21.
to5/12 lone rangers sidekicks twin brother
I read that - lone ranger sidekicks twin brother, then realised what you meant. No apostrophes, you see.
Good Evening folks!
No astrophe needed. Really. :^)
thanks lbd; that added 6 more in a hurry! :)
Does anyone have a clue for the to 5/12 word please
ho tingy
I already got the word just clued.Need other to 5/12
Has the lone ranger turned nasty, I wondered?
How did the Loan Ranger's twin brother feel about being sidekicked?
the reason i dont use apostrophes is that my typing is bad enough what with using the hunt and peck method and only my two index fingers..typing apostrophes would only gum up a messy situation
Hello tingy! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
hi tingy....we haven't met before...nice to see you!
to + adult male
i don;t use them because i;m slow
that's an i ;-)
It's okay, chj. Who knew that computers were going to be invented and that men, apart from journalists, were going to need to type?
one left...to 5/14 ...not sure which I'm missing.
hey ya tingy!
Does anyone have a clue for the to 5/10 word please
Correc't punctu-ation is: man/datory\
personatory
to 5/14 is what children play with. Don't have other.
to5/10 - plural of the to4/4 , shortened version of animated film
You watch them on Saturday morning.
i knew there was an evil plot against men somewhere...teach all the women to tyoe, then invent computers and women take over the world
There are two to5/14 - children's plaything with vowel and different consonant endings.
thats why we men are trying to perfect voice recognition software
The Blue Parrot?!? You mean the competitor to Rick's?!?
Sorry, clued the wrong to 5/14 word. To 5/14 is the beginning of car company that makes the Rav4 plus s
There'll be some fun trying to teach a computer to recognise different accents!
Referring to chj's buddy icon...
douglas...every icon i post has multiple meanings..glad you saw that
hi Douglas
How 'bout the non-car-related to5/14?
Douglas - good evening!
This grid is administering a first-rate tushy-whupping to me...
but he does have lovely plummage doesnt he
to5/14 - builds on the to4/6 (child's plaything plus vowel)
hoaf same car word, but w/single hump letter at end
Ah, yes, the Norwegian Blue, very lovely plumage...Yes!
Douglas - I hated this grid, so you are not alone in finding it difficult.
Butting in here with a serious note: I do have VR (voice recognition) Dragon Naturally Speaking, and it takes only about 20 minutes to begin. Then about 3 weeks of rehearsing until the system "learns" your accent, general vocabulary, etc.
being of norwegian heritage myself, im also pining for the fjords
i now have 29 words....
hi all - sneaking on at work ! sweet sweep chj!
Of course, there's learning the voice commands to navigate around the internet and software programs. But it's worth it!
Hello Douglas!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
ch1212 - do you use VR all the time?
renny...looks like another long night of speed babbling
hi debbinla
sweep is sweet
It is well here in Minnesota
Mostly when I'm writing, Haz. For Babble it's faster if I simply keyboard.
hi snowy
Ick ... I have the to5/14 related to playthings ... but not the other one. Unless I missed a hint somewhere?
i;m trying to breach the gap
hello debbinla
hey ya deb!
mand
Sorry.
I was trying to work out how you would use it for babble when lots of the time you couldn't be sure if the word exists, or how to pronounce it. But it's interesting that the technology is up and running.
ren, you seem to have the same problem i have only a little lower...i keep typing the underline key when i want the + sign and you keep typing the semicolon for the apostrophe
hoaf -change the last consonant
hoaf - to 5/14's are both similar...starts with child playthings...then Linux & MS etc. are these (abbreviated) 2nd one the above + opp of off....
hows everyone doing? i have to finish early cause i have to go be social tonight - so i might be asking some questions.......
renny..you up for a bit of speed babbling now
It's been around for years now -- a friend of my (wheelchair bound, paralyzed neck down) learned on the prototype. I waited until the technology improved, and now it's very simple for almost everyone.
ask away, im finished
Hi debbinla! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
debbinla -- LOL!! You sound like me "have to be social" -- :D
congrats chj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally! Thanks!@
*fireworks*

yay for papted!
Now I'll work on lesson plans
thanks for the co 5s, hetty
One more "n" to go ... anybody willing to give me a hint about no5/14?
krista - we thought we might have been separated at birth
opposite of quiet hoaf
but it turned out ren is older than dirt, so that couldn't be
wtg ted!
hoaf, I don't see a no5/21
and i'm the mean one
what did you say hoaf..its too no*** in here
OUCH! ZING!
its true
snowyowl: Duh. Maybe I should actually try concentrating on ONE thing.
ooooo, dark clouds and thunder and wind . . . hope there's some wet stuff in that mix!
leaves me in tears
I think faerkae and I were seperated at birth
(from laughing)
hoaf, no 5 - makes a loud racket?
she threatens me with a glock if i don't make her laugh
no5, what my kindergartners are during center time, LOL
ThanksZ@
that might be true too
I haven't found a word for an age -have stopped looking really! I babble & listen to talk radio at the same time so I know all about not concentrating!
maybe you are sisters and not twins, then!
really krista mom gave nut away
she was the one separated at birth
You were the keeper, ay?
oh yeah, so i'm the disposable one --- see how mean she is
yes i am the one they loved best
ren and nut are starring in twins two next year
ren does loads for my self esteem

Wow. 39 to go ... a hint for ta5/10? Thanks for ALL of the help!

Mom always told me "they wouldn't pick on you if they didn't like you." (she lied, but that's another story).
it was a very nice lie krista
Actually ... just got it (ta5/10). Thanks!~
She meant well. ;)
If someone picks on my kids, I tell them the other kid is a jerk.

Better get takeout, ren!!

thanks snowy!
i had the en 6 incorrect ! but now i gotem
thank you
i want the en 6!!!!! I am whining
it's like pierogies and salads or sandwiches with frenchfries on them
Not many Hungarian enclaves in my part of Maryland, I admit.
en6 - holm oak is the def.
en 6 sounds like a city in california
kind of
Mmm...Pramanti (spelling?) sandwiches?? MMM
en - city in the san fernando valley of california (change last vowel)
U in Pittsburgh?
Primanti Brothers
i like perogies
have to admit, they're not my favorite, i'm an hour from pittsburgh
or as someone clued before - name of a pauly shore movie (change last vowel) *** note i attribute it to another babbler, cause i don't know my pauley shore movies)
pierogies are my FAVORITE
Hey Roc..another Marylander. Yes, evan, they are not for everyone.
i miss pittsburgh's steak wedgies
ty found the en 6, will now stop whining
even if i can;t spell them...is spelling part of a cooking class?
i love wedges
we have great wedges at snack n pack
ren, only when cooking alphabet soup
not familiar with that one..is it a sandwich?
wedgies or wedges
yes, made of a pizza shell
it's like a sandwich but it's wrapped in pizza dough
lived off those things when i went to college
okay, then wedgies and wedges are different
you go to pitt then?
cmu
hmm, sounds good..like a calzone, or not really?
not really
you yanks sure have some strange food.....is that like a wrap? or a taco shell? said by onewho lives on cheetos
eh? - wedges...no
wedgies
wedge is a sammich
usually steak, with lettuce, tomato, onion, some italian dressing maybe, folded in a pizza crust.
it's another carb killer
If I may, a snippet from the web (have u heard of this place??):Heavy & Greasy Delivery All you need to know about Larry's & Carol's is that they are the only "wedgie" game in town. A full pizza crust folded over steak-umm's, lettuce, tomato, onions, and italian dressing, wedgies are a staple in any freshman's diet in and around Pittsburgh. Of course after they gain their first fifteen pounds, most people forget how delicious a wedgie can be, and when Larry's & Carol's is mentioned, only grease and gassiness come to mind.
there's a little pizza shop in oakland that had the best wedgies
hey
yeah- that's the place
oh, weird
i'm not talking wedgies, i'm talking wedges
Hi Everyone -- back for the last 38
so good
i don't think i've had a wedge
i've had a wedgie - no sandwich variety
what is a wedge?
hi nan!
can't find any info on wedges...hey PIng!
pizza shell cut in half to make a sandwich with any variety of meat and veggies
I am lacking in words that begin with A. does anyone have any good clues for such words? :o)

thanks Ren.....
thanks for the clue ren
ok....if we don't complete the grid.....do we get points for what we have done....or not????
we use to
but now now??
thanks Ren
Missing 2 to 4's and 2 to 5's -- any oddities out there?
i don;t know that answer flask. let;s check the instructions wherever they are....
you get points in teh middle column, flask, but not the side columns.
I think...
ok
na4/4 & le5/16 please
have two to 5/12's --- what to 5's am I missing?
the object is to get the hiighest score that you can.
i dont believe thats true
oh stidmama -- I so glad someone can think -- it certainly isn't me!!!
i believe your score in the ouer columns is an average
LOL Nan!
I can think, but cannot type...
oh well. story time.
OBJECT To list as many words of the highest point value as you can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid.
I can type, but if you can't think nothing to type!
So now everyone knows that Paul is home. They have all gone in to dinner...
your score for the day is the number of points you got divided by the number of points in a completed puzzle times 1000
I'm really becoming very annoyed that todo is not accepted.
how it is calcualted is beyond my calculus
ok...thanks all for your help!
goodnight to you all!!
tha MAN has spoken
therefore if you got 1500 points on a 3000 point puzzle your score for the day is (1500/3000)x1000 = 500
have two to 5/12's --- what to 5's am I missing? --- please, pretty please
Gilly happily bustled about, helping Nan to her seat between Otto and Owain, moving a chair closer to the door, and another further from window. Adam and Ava sat nearest the fire.

This is one of the harder puzzles I've seen recently.
149
Paul brought in the roast from the kitchen as Anna squeaked, putting a napkin on the spill Gray caused as he reached for a muffin.
ty
plus if you complete a puzzle you gey an extra point added...thats why the leaders in the righjt column which is the averages for the last 30 puzzle will typically have 1030 points..theyre average for each day was 1000 plus they got an extra point for each copleted puzzle
149, smiley!

Daniel, Peter's youngest sat next to Doris, neither of them looking very happy to be there, but both piling their plates as the platters were passed around.

Adam got to his feet, and looked around the table. From his son Peter and his family, to his daughter Gilly and her family, to his daughter Cathy. He paused as he looked at his great-grandchildren and smiled.
He raised his glass to Ava, who returned his gaze lovingly.
Fireworks! not a bad day, considering it was my first day in my new office...although the grid was craxy today.
clue for the to 5/10, please?
Andy's feet were kicking the table leg, and Polly hushed him.
YAY Angelsong!

A happy cheer went round the table, and the sounds of knives and forks and spoons and conversation filled the room.

Gilly and Helena talked about a new vendor at the market they had seen -- fancy ribbons and fabrics. Meg and Inga and Polly had a conference on the most attractive young men -- and rated them on dancing ability, sound of their voices and general swoon factor.

Finally, the plates were cleared, the women headed to the kitchen to do a few dishes and put the kettle on for tea.

The children went across to the park -- it was getting dark, but the field would leave enough light for a few games.
Kahlua - you back?
think I'll get a glass of wine -- maybe that will help!
The older menfolk sat on the front porch -- Adam, Peter and Paul; John sat at a distance, holding Sarah and watching the children playing across the road.
there we go, ill dragged a radio over here ;) babble and baseball.
Paul jumped in, feet first, "Father, I know it's hard for you to understand, but I really did need to go."
I am but breifly
Adam harrumphed and pulled a small pipe out of his vest pocket.
Phone me.
Peter said, "What I don't understand is where you went -- you were so young when you arrived. How did you know where to start?"
How many do you have left to go?
5

Right now...or tonight?
i hate c's
I can babble and talk at the same time!
Adam tugged on the strings of a leather bag and pulled out a pinch of pipe filler.
Whenver - I think you need some moral support
I am doing alright, but I will call you
Paul sighed. He waved at Andy, who was hiding in full view at the base of a large tree.
Ok - how many left for you

Adam lit a straw from the lamp and held it to the pipe.
Go lions!!! Greg helps but his attention span last about 2 min at a time

"I remembered, when I came here, that we came up the river. I didn't know the names of the people who brought me, but I remembered my name."

Adam pulled on his pipe and got it to draw. He puffed and a ribbon of smoke caught the air and moved away from the porch.
Can anybody help me with the mo6/24? Please?

It was getting dark, and John stood up to walk across the road with Sarah. He whistled cheerfully, and the baby chattered as they passed the gate.
Does anyone know what the theme is for tomorrow?
Duh - nevermind Ren - just a little slow

The dog came up to Peter and leaned on his legs heavily.

John and the children came back, heading around the house to wash up outside. The dog trotted off with them and Peter stretched his legs.
Cathy returned, her mother and sister in tow.

No one seems to know what tomorrow's theme is, so I'll have to hunt up babbler on the list

Adam looked away for a moment, then straight at Paul.
Kahlua - Lions 32, Bomber5!

"I thought I understood, when you left, Paul, that you would be gone only a short time. And I know that is what was in your heart."
canadian football?
Yes!
CAthy and Ava put their hands to their throats simultaneously.
Recycling calls - later all
how can you have two teams named the roughriders?
"I do want to know where you went, and what took you from us for so long. But not tonight. And not this week. For now, I want to have you here, and enjoy the family being complete again."
Gilly smiled at her father, tears in her eyes.
Adam continued, "But I do want to know why you never told us your name when you first arrived... It has bothered me all these years."
Paul looked surprised.
hafe
sorry
"Father, I thought you knew -- my name is just what you have always called me."
Ava drew in her breath sharply and caught Adam's eye.
Please -- last word no7 -- I really need to get to bed. Thanks!
Peter stood up.

Ava looked at Paul, and touched his cheek gently. "You are clever, and always have been. I am glad your kindness is even more," she whispered.
yay music for the royal fireworks
Adam knocked out the ashes from his pipe onto a tile in the walkway, then gallantly offered his arm to Ava.
YAY musicmom! good night...
