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/

1:19 am

Happy Birthday, Eastern!

1:23 am

I'm just sitting here listening to the news and the majoe security alerts at UK airports. Scary

1:25 am

Lol,Frances. I also wish myself well with that one too. It's a terrtory that scaes the shit out of me.

1:25 am

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

1:26 am

Yes. Major disruption but, if it keeps people safe - at least they wake up tomorrow!

1:27 am

Well fu4/12 me! I've not been watching any news. What and where?

1:28 am

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

1:31 am

morning all!

1:31 am

mva hello

1:31 am

hello MVA!

1:32 am

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.

1:33 am

Othe than the stereotypes.

Looks like "show me!"

1:43 am

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!

1:43 am

Shw mae - means hello or good mnorning.

1:52 am

I only ever lived in Wales part time, but I did learn to so=peak it a bit.

1:52 am

My cousins lived there for a while and their kids went to welsh school

1:53 am

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!

1:54 am

I'm goingto have alook at Lickety's list now for a bit

1:54 am

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

1:55 am

Fran - get me in touch with your brotherm, si I can speak the language agan!

1:56 am

That was a long time ago Jac. I don't know if he would remember much now

1:56 am

I am ashamed, as a person with more Welsh than English antecedants, that so few speak Welsh.

1:56 am

I work with young children and we have to teach them basic Welsh, which means i've had to learn the language

1:58 am

MVA - we may be able to communicatel Mae'r plant yr yn yr ysgol?

1:58 am

as i'm half cornish and scottish, this caused problems!

1:59 am

Oh, okay, never mind!

1:59 am

But never let it be said that I did not TRY!

2:01 am

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 :(

2:57 am

78 words in 30 minutes... more than half way, but not very good...

3:02 am

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!

3:05 am

I'm still upset that it won't take "yoda" :D

3:05 am

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.

3:06 am

3:23 am

Hello SueMagee, are you the same SueMagee as on the Ciao website?

3:24 am

I am, yes! Are you on Ciao?

3:24 am

Yes but not too often now more on the BBC food website, AKA Scalywitch.

3:25 am

I must have a look at that.

3:26 am

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.

3:26 am

I spent far too much time there.

3:27 am

I have the same name on BBC food as Ciao so maybe see you yhere sometime.

3:29 am

Quite probably - I'm a foodie.

3:30 am

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

3:31 am

Thanks! You too.

3:39 am

4:10 am

14 left for tomorrow so good night all!

4:11 am

Good night jillibus. Sleep well.

4:12 am

Hi everyone, how's the puzzle Easy or hard 149?

4:12 am

Very difficult.

4:13 am

Or maybe I'm just being obtuse today.

4:13 am

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.

4:14 am

It starts off easily enough but there are lots of peculiar words.

4:15 am

Thanks for the warning, LOL

4:16 am

Of course, maybe my peculiar words are familiar ones to you. Enjoy the grid anyhow.

4:23 am

hey

4:24 am

Hello scv.

4:25 am

these o's are gonna drive me nuts, i know it. why do i keep coming back every day? haha.

4:25 am

I don't have any o's yet

4:26 am

So, I guess they're driving me nuts too, LOL

4:27 am

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

4:27 am

Morning Haz Popped in for 5 mins, how goes it?

4:27 am

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

4:28 am

I've finished the grid, FMitch, but only because I've used morewords even more than usual. It's not easy today!

4:29 am

True, svc, that is distracting especially when you think you're building off one letter and another one takes the credit.

4:29 am

exactly.

4:29 am

hi all

4:29 am

I got to 96 early this morning but won't have a chance to come back to it until this evening.

4:29 am

Hi

4:30 am

hi hi everybody

4:31 am

Hi!

4:32 am

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.

4:32 am

fo7/44, I mean.

4:33 am

and the very chilly blokes too

4:33 am

ooh, thanks for the fo clue

4:33 am

FMitch - husband has been on the phone panicking about our flight through Heathrow in ten days time!

4:33 am

still trying to figure out the other one

4:34 am

so6/24 - it's most of what men wear under shoes, plus the male/males

4:34 am

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)!!

4:35 am

what happened?

4:35 am

There's a good-looking, though old-fashioned cab (ha6/24)

4:35 am

I was just listening to the Heathrow 'scare' on our radio coming home - pray nothing comes of it.

4:35 am

Just woke up a few minutes ago, what is in the news?

4:35 am

Manchester airport seems to be coping and getting planes away

4:35 am

Apparently there are no flights from Belfast into Heathrow today. There's a big security scare going on.

4:35 am

you just woke up? its crazy early!

4:36 am

flights are still running just really stepped up security

4:36 am

5:30 EST in Florida, have to leave for work at 6:30

4:36 am

oh nm, i was looking at the clock here which is an hour off of my computer

4:36 am

Ah yes, but then Belfast flights are always treated as being potentially dangerous anyway.

4:36 am

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

4:36 am

oh my

4:37 am

But John Prescott is in charge, so we can rest easy.

4:37 am

say it on the news.

4:37 am

ohh. perhaps i should catch up on some news for a bit.

4:37 am

no hand luggage, except essentials in a clear plastic bag

4:38 am

21 arrests have been made

4:39 am

Now that is a really scary thought Haz :)

4:40 am

topic change, man i wish it accepted yoda

4:40 am

well, now i understand the drinking of baby formula before getting it past

4:40 am

LOL, beast, I saw that too

4:40 am

or, i think its crazy. but understand what that conversation was about, at least.

4:41 am

Is the y word an obvious one or a babblet?

4:42 am

no, it's obvious

4:42 am

short for over there

4:42 am

Sorry, was just checking up on the news there. It's going to be a long day for people working in airports.

4:43 am

Thanks, not sure I would have spotted that.

4:43 am

did that clue help?

4:46 am

Yup thanks

4:51 am

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

4:54 am

i'm missing the middle an4. too many options

4:56 am

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!

4:57 am

haha yes the 3rd. thank you

4:57 am

how can doona not be a word :p i would freeze with out mine

4:57 am

See you Haz - thanks for all the clues I picked up

5:00 am

Bye Haz, have a good days and don't worry too much.

5:07 am

hi all,back after a couple of days on Scrabble can't make-up my mind witch one I like best!

5:07 am

we are feeling so loved !

5:09 am

hodag, which scrabble game to you go on?, i use wordwiz

5:13 am

I bought the game.My daughter said I should 'nt have but I really do enjoy it.

5:15 am

Oh I see, I play the online game (realtime) one.

5:16 am

carol - where do you play?

5:18 am

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.

5:19 am

thanks for the info.

5:24 am

your welcome

5:28 am

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

5:31 am

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.

5:39 am

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.

5:46 am

thanks carol,your helpful and nice to chat with!

5:53 am

morning all...just...^^

5:56 am

ty, i keep going between the 2 sites, hence the time delay, off to scrabble again, good luck all.xx

5:59 am

elman

6:00 am

sorry, I was over here just to say hello to cadfan and carolecs and miayvi. Going back to my corner now.

6:04 am

hello inge

6:18 am

hi Lynxxx, I was off trying to fix my list

6:20 am

lovely grid tonite

6:21 am

yes, but it is early morning on the US east coast

6:21 am

meant

6:22 am

sorry, I am not used to chatting, and forget to switch

6:23 am

we all do!

6:26 am

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!

6:27 am

in your state ?

6:28 am

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.

6:28 am

and good morning too! hope you slept well.

6:29 am

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/

6:29 am

5 hours last night beats the last two combined nights, but off steroids now so nights will get better.

6:31 am

BBL - Have to get myself going while I have the energy. Enjoy your day and pray that the good guys will win.

6:31 am

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.

6:31 am

That's win in the war against terror.

6:33 am

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.

6:33 am

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.

6:34 am

We live about 30 miles outside of Detroit.

6:35 am

These Meiher stores exist only in the Midwest. They still offer penny rides for the kids.

6:37 am

back to my me's now

6:46 am

Hi all! I see the samurai blade is back - haven't seen it in a while

6:46 am

7:00 am

7:05 am

have I found a fish (no definition) - sa5.12?

7:06 am

hmm...the second to last an4 pls?

7:07 am

I could give you an answer but you wouldn't recognise it cathy

7:08 am

pretty obscure word is it lynxxx?

7:08 am

an + two vowels cath

7:09 am

perhaps I am being to cryptic! - 'answer' - sounds like

7:10 am

ok...i'll have to monkey it i think as i'm not sure which "a" it works off

7:11 am

hmmm - google says that sa5/12 is an arabic word that has been taken over into english, but it doesn't offer a definition...

7:11 am

I need it too, have been monkeying and can't find it

7:11 am

top row second column

7:11 am

an + 4th vowel + 1st vowel

7:11 am

that an4 ends like a b** constrictor

7:12 am

no there is one after that and before the poker word

7:12 am

so far it did't work

7:12 am

TY

7:12 am

got that one spot...but tks anyway...that clue i think is for the middle an4/4

7:12 am

morning all. only here for a few minutes....

7:12 am

fans

7:12 am

hi charm

7:12 am

Hi, Dorens

7:12 am

Sorry

7:12 am

(according to lickety it's the middle one at least)

7:12 am

got it.

7:13 am

mmm - my one is top row, 4th column and read anticlockwise

7:13 am

like Lynxxx said say answer with a slang like accent

7:13 am

too many vowels today

7:14 am

go on - have a go at the way we Australians speak - we can take it! (we are dreadful!)

7:15 am

was tht to me Lynxxx? I wasn't intending that...

7:15 am

how many an's are there?

7:15 am

yes ... but we speak dreadfully .. really!

7:16 am

5

7:16 am

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

7:16 am

sorry my mistake...hadn't gotten lickety's list yet...now have it...people in Long Island sometimes speak like that too

7:16 am

I love the way aussies speak

7:16 am

hmm...guess I"m still missing one

7:18 am

there are 5 an4/4 today

7:18 am

has eastern blue dropped by for her blue birthday greetings??

7:18 am

the 2nd to last an uses 3 of the letters from the top row

7:19 am

just say answer really fast (and hold your nose!) - dropping the w sound!

7:20 am

off to eat a bite of breakfast--fresh peaches . . . yum! Then volunteering at library--BBL

8:12 am

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

8:12 am

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!

8:13 am

I've become a complete espresso snob - would rather do without than have to drink regular coffee!

8:14 am

well, if it's GOOD coffee,

8:14 am

oh my, i find fresh beans and grind them...hmmm an espresso machine....perhaps

8:15 am

meant i buy fresh beans but you know what i meant

8:15 am

i have what they call la semiautomatic.... not cheap but a dream to use

8:15 am

dorens - which machine do you have? I'm looking for a good one.

8:16 am

there's also the stove-top version, don't forget. It takes up much less room and I'm sure it's much cheaper!

8:17 am

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

8:17 am

thanks!

8:18 am

Hello everyone

8:18 am

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)

8:18 am

hi bg

8:18 am

good morning everyone.

8:18 am

k...tried everything for the last do6...can i have some help pls?

8:18 am

hello bg

8:18 am

8:19 am

hi bg

8:19 am

hi musicmom!

8:19 am

sorry...meant do4/6

8:19 am

good morning music mom

8:19 am

hi musicmom

8:19 am

For anyone interested in coffee and machines etc. there is a great podcast at coffeegeek.com

ok, back with the blues!

8:19 am

the astro do*

hello mm!!

8:19 am

got that one phand...it's not the last one.

8:20 am

hi music mom---BG what did your seven year old do?

8:20 am

LOL, mr p - I'll have to go and get a blue I guess. :-)

8:20 am

All the swim coaches were lined up to play with him at lessons ...

8:20 am

I love mine, but then I have an aversion to electronic gadgets that don't really make things easier (electric can openers, for example)

8:20 am

yes, my son the "coffee guru" likes coffeegeek.com

8:20 am

yes, bg?

get blue!! love it!!

8:20 am

my clue was for the first one

8:20 am

I have learned a lot from there Dorens

8:21 am

the terrorist plot was destined to do*

8:21 am

ty...i'm looking for the last do4/6 pls

8:21 am

that is the last do 4/6

8:21 am

He has them turned into mush.

8:21 am

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!!

8:21 am

ph - is that the one that goes well with despair?

8:21 am

I need to request male teachers

8:21 am

yes

8:21 am

ty...sorry...i swear i put that in earlier!!!

8:21 am

watch that he doesn't decide that he's god's gift to women when he gets older!!!

8:22 am

em?

8:22 am

LOL bg

8:22 am

He doesn't "do" anything It 's just weird...

any hinto on the o7 please??

8:23 am

My six year old daughter is the same way with men. She can charm them just by looking at them.

8:23 am

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

8:23 am

He's had little girls fight over him since preschool...klaurel has seen him in action

8:23 am

That is a hilarious bg.

8:24 am

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.

8:24 am

right, amanda...hence my son is bringing his to our summer cottage

8:24 am

MrP, that o7 - morpher on DS9 + Mr. Hawthorne?

8:24 am

Any suggestions.. I thought about making him a priest when he gets older

8:24 am

Nah - just go with it bg

8:24 am

there's always bad haircuts, bg

what the hell is mr hawthorn!! *stupid much*

8:25 am

Great suggestion dorens.

8:25 am

lol Dorens He hates haircuts

8:25 am

I know hawthorne - house of the seven gables

8:25 am

what is a morpher?

8:25 am

shape shifer

8:26 am

shifter

8:26 am

thought that might be a problem, MrP - american author. A morpher is one who morphs :)

8:26 am

beginning of the thingie that tells you howmany miles you've gone? ending with hawthorne's nickname

8:26 am

em?

8:26 am

Thanks Dorens

8:26 am

I don't have it ph

8:26 am

:-(

well, I am truly lost!!

lol...sorry...have a blue to take the edge off stillings *pops of the cap and hands over the bottle*

10:22 am

thx

10:22 am

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...

10:22 am

hurshy! :-)

10:22 am

to4/5 and to4/6 pls?

10:22 am

Cheers Cath

10:22 am

10:22 am

Stuck on no 7. Clue please?

10:22 am

foo should be a word

10:22 am

hi hurshy!!

Maybe its the weather? I've had more in the past month than I've had in years

10:22 am

maybe it is mab, but it's only 3 letters :)

10:22 am

like the Foo Fighters, mab?

10:23 am

dont you...step on my blue suede shoes

10:23 am

hi auntie :)

10:23 am

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

10:23 am

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...

10:23 am

you can anything but lay offa my blue suede shoes

10:23 am

2nd to 4/5?

10:23 am

i also need that 2nd to4/5

10:23 am

where are you going, lady?

Pennsylvania

10:23 am

2nd to 4/5, sounds like t***Raiders

brb

10:24 am

to 4/6, brand of tire

10:24 am

I'd give you all cooties, but the word's not in the puzzle.

10:24 am

Stid and ladynoir, sorry about your migraines. Don't try to do too much or move too fast

10:24 am

regis to**ey

10:24 am

as in 'oh foo!' and then one could make it plural.

10:24 am

to4/7?

10:24 am

the other regis

10:24 am

LOL mab!

10:24 am

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!

10:25 am

thanks, phan

10:25 am

morning, all.

10:25 am

harp, to4/7 is like no yesterday but to*** minus the first vowel

10:25 am

hi Charm...

10:25 am

sounds like that sweater is to d** for

10:25 am

Uh oh. Call Homeland Security. Torgone is making explosive devices in his basement.

10:25 am

ok, so other than that no7, i haven't got any 7's, what have people found?

10:25 am

why am I SO not surprised, tor?

10:25 am

not familiar with that brand of tire I guess

10:26 am

same here phand

10:26 am

me either

10:26 am

to 4/7 not yeserday but to*** drop the voewl

10:27 am

so go with the to** raiders homonym clue

10:27 am

i keep wanting cement and enamel

10:27 am

2nd to4/5 is the struggle word today.

10:27 am

phandmd, to 4/6, try changing the first letter of that wooden thing that goes up and down in your hand....

10:27 am

Talking of explosive devices, have you all heard about the Heathrow debacle today?

10:27 am

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.

10:27 am

it's the to 4/5 after that Hurshy

10:27 am

yes!

10:27 am

en7/32 fo7/44 x2 ho7/36 no7/32 od7/32

10:27 am

omg, what did I just accidentally say?

10:27 am

to4/5 the other regis...regis to**ey

10:27 am

i saw a blurb about it, hetty, but not the details

10:27 am

those clues are getting stranger and stranger.... *crosses eyes*

10:28 am

nice numbers cait

10:28 am

oh wow, thanks haz. i thought they would be

10:28 am

is that thew second verse for blue suede shoes

10:28 am

then maybe you guys want the first to4/5, a volume of a book

10:28 am

Tom said something about it -- I was going to check the news after a good dose of Babble.

10:28 am

2nd to = big book

10:28 am

They are for hurshy chj LOL

10:28 am

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.

10:28 am

second to4/5 is an old wird for a huge book--spelt like "not to you, not to us, but to **"

10:29 am

didn't Matty say she was headed over here...???

10:29 am

*three cheers for the Brits* hip-hip hooray!! hip-hip hooray!! hip-hip hooray!!

10:29 am

ok...i found the to4/5...phand...it's a double vowel word

10:29 am

no that is the 1st 4/5

10:29 am

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.

10:29 am

no--2d to = obsolete word for empty

10:29 am

excuse me....nuts!

10:29 am

to4/6 pls?

10:29 am

haz - were they going to blow up just the planes, or ram them into something on the way like 9/11?

10:30 am

ugh! thnx

10:30 am

there are 2 to4/6s at the end of the list that start with 'plaything'

10:30 am

excuse me....nuts!

10:30 am

ahhh...ty bugzy

10:30 am

to 4/6 = Japanese car brand without the last two letters

10:30 am

stupid double posts, i'll see if this runs better for me later

10:30 am

Iwhat would this regis fellow be known for?

10:30 am

they planned to have the planes blow up over the Atlantic

10:30 am

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.

10:30 am

and everyone who would have been flying across theAtlantic today is totally discommoded--all luggage being examined etc. etc

10:30 am

now i need the last two to5's

10:30 am

evan...Brazil or Pecan?

10:30 am

blow up planes in transit

10:31 am

does anyone have to to 5/10?

10:31 am

think roger rabbit, kateq

10:31 am

has child's plaything as part of the word

Okay, back

10:31 am

to5/10 is plural of the to4/4 before it

10:31 am

there are 4 of those

10:31 am

passengers are not allowed to bring any liquids on the plane, including water,lotions, and perfumes

10:31 am

the last two to's build on the to 4/6

10:31 am

nut for president,,,she would be out second nut-ty president after the peanut king of course

10:31 am

we can no longer board aircraft with carry on luggage or liquids. i think we ought to simply board nude - what could be simpler?

10:31 am

or cell phones or laptops, too

10:31 am

Haz, Britain must be totally devastated. Thank God the plot was discovered.

10:32 am

ty--had the singular--going the other way

10:32 am

wait, what's this about no carry on luggage?

10:32 am

Mothers with infants are being required to taste their baby's formula to prove it isn't poisoned/contaminated.

10:32 am

Yeah, Mab. Fly the naked skies.

10:32 am

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...

10:32 am

i doubt britain is devastated - they caught them and foiled the plot

10:33 am

I think it would speed up the entire boarding process

10:33 am

The only carry on luggage allowed is money, passports, essential medication, all to be carried in a plastic bag.

10:33 am

great idea mab, and I bet that would cause an interest in airline travel, too!

10:33 am

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.

10:33 am

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

10:33 am

you mean like for today, or permanent new rule, haz?

10:33 am

no liquids, gels of any kind including any kind of electronic equipment, nude is an excellent idea, would move the lines quicker

10:33 am

*ponders mab's suggestion* never flyin' again if THAT goes thru!!

10:33 am

last two to5/14's? build from teh child's plaything?

10:33 am

Imagine being a baby-carrying mom with intent to blow oneself up--self yes, but baby?

10:33 am

Britain is on high alert as i think America is again

10:34 am

i mean can't you bring a book? sudoku? crossword puzzles?

I think nude might slow it down a bit lol

10:34 am

It's certainly being applied today, I don't know how long they are going to keep it up for.

10:34 am

yes we are on high alert

10:34 am

perhaps hospital gowns for the modest

10:34 am

hey, EasternBlue, Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!!!!!

10:34 am

yes--we are back at "red" in Washington--

10:34 am

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.

10:34 am

thanks Annie!

10:34 am

No books. That's taking things too far in my opinion!

10:34 am

No hurshy ..no books

10:34 am

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

10:34 am

were on alert level orange..maybe we should change the theme

10:34 am

The states are on the highest alert --the only time it's been used since the "color" alert has gone into use.

10:34 am

well that's intolerable, you can't have a several-hour flight with no book!

10:34 am

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.

10:34 am

FIREWORKS!!!! *passes around more blue for all*

10:35 am

yay cath

10:35 am

congrats cathyar

10:35 am

YAY Cathy! that vacation thing is sure working for you :-)

10:35 am

no books? gawd, I'd have to read those stupid magazines that the airline provides? good thing I never go anywhere!

10:35 am

congrats, cath

10:35 am

Yeah for Cath!!!

10:35 am

the end of travel for intellectuals...

10:35 am

here to clue for a bit! yes...it is stidmama...got the apt downstairs all clean and my tenant is IN!

10:35 am

as usual the authorities are way overreating

10:36 am

I imagine they are making up rules as they go along. It'll all calm down eventually.

10:36 am

t'is safer to fly than travel by any other means, including walking

10:36 am

woo hoo cathyar!!

10:36 am

you can bring books on board, how can you travel without books!

10:36 am

chj -- overeating? those fat ba****ds!

10:36 am

I still need the first to 5/12, don't know who or what the regis clue meant, I guess.

10:36 am

chj, do you mean over-eating or over-reacting?

10:36 am

hahahha overeacting

10:36 am

woo-hoo Cathy! *celebratory dance* hope this tenant is a good one.

10:36 am

That's me done. I'll come back later to clue

10:37 am

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.

10:37 am

to5/12 - add a male.

10:37 am

YAY phandmd!

10:37 am

woo hoo phand!

10:37 am

Yeah for phand

10:37 am

congrats phandmd

10:37 am

but most of those fat ba****ds (thank you stid) are also overeating

10:37 am

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

10:37 am

thanks

10:37 am

wow. wow.

10:37 am

that sounds like a lovely arrangement, Cathy!

10:38 am

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.

10:38 am

to5/12 do you intend to *** (not"woman" )a piece of equipment?

10:38 am

to5/12 do you intend to *** (not"woman" )a piece of equipment?

10:38 am

toothpaste is a fluid?

10:38 am

good morning, riemann, what are you doing here so early? classes cancelled in honor of EasternBlue's birthday?

10:38 am

i don't understand no books. i literally go no where without a book, just in case. what would one do?

10:38 am

yes, and lotion too

10:39 am

and how could a book be dangerous?

10:39 am

Anything that does not break is a fluid.

10:39 am

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) ;)

10:39 am

sit quietly with one's hands folded in one's lap

10:39 am

That's it for me -- NO FLYING.

10:39 am

hursh -- fluids, gels...anything in somewhat aqueous format...

10:39 am

they will loosen up after the scare is over, they'll have to allow books

10:39 am

maybe people could... talk to each other...?

10:39 am

I'm not even telling Megan about all this racket...would scare that child to death...

10:39 am

no flying for me either...not till i get a REAL Blue in my hands for my vacation....

10:39 am

hurshy -- books are inherently dangerous -- they carry ideas, don't you know!

10:40 am

I think you can check your "fluids", just no carry on.

10:40 am

Stid, don't alarm me-here we are planning a round the world air trip in November

10:40 am

sherb - depends on if you like the looks of that naked person sitting next to you!! 8 )

10:40 am

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?

10:40 am

what if you have to...you know...use the loo? isn't that a liquid?

10:40 am

i suppose one cannot have writing materials either

10:40 am

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....

10:40 am

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*

10:40 am

hetty - glad I saw that before I posted my last comment!

10:40 am

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.

10:40 am

later Cathy!

10:41 am

a clue please for the ha combo?

if you have explosive urine, flying should be the last thing on your mind LOL

10:41 am

well that's weird!

10:41 am

that's it. I'm never coming out of the water. never.

10:41 am

(oh...b4 i go...stidmama...will you be continuing the story today?)

10:41 am

you have to check your urine and your blood at the boarding gate

10:41 am

The plan was to bring the components of an explosive and mix them in flight

10:41 am

it's not a combo, munner

10:41 am

bye Cathy...thanks!!

10:41 am

ha6 a horse drawn cab

10:41 am

ha5 h + an4

10:41 am

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?

10:41 am

they put the baggage that goes in the hold through a scanner... but the airports aren't equipped with scanners for hand luggage...

10:42 am

hetty - you should be fine...it is safer flying than driving - and most of us do that everyday....

10:42 am

I'm still not flying, riemann -- not unless my kids require it (and they are here with me, so I am safe)

10:42 am

I think the UK is stricter at the time, no carryon luggage. period.

10:42 am

except what do all those carnivores do with their carion? (**ducks***)

10:42 am

thanks, hurshy, should have seen those ha. Maybe it has something to do with waking up at 4 am this morning.

10:42 am

EB, i don't think we're worried about the safety so much as the boredom

10:42 am

lol harp!

10:43 am

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. :-)

10:43 am

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

10:43 am

Judi used a word!

10:43 am

one would be reduced to conversing with the stranger sitting next to one

10:44 am

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!

10:44 am

oh, i have 3 NE, i need one more, all mine are real words, anybody have the fourth?

10:44 am

thanks, tor! wouldn't have seen that one if you hadn't pointed it out! :-)

10:44 am

Ooops. Bugger. Sorry. Tattletale, Torgone!

10:44 am

ansa

10:44 am

I'm an imp ... :D

10:44 am

sorry

10:44 am

oops i found my ne, nvm

10:44 am

10:44 am

thanks mab...

10:45 am

I want manioc to be a word...

10:45 am

lol torgone

10:45 am

Afternoon all.

10:45 am

manioc is a word....

10:45 am

hetty- as Stid mentioned...it will sort itself out by the time you're ready to go...I mean...travel! 8 )

10:45 am

it's not in the puzzle, stid

10:45 am

but not in this grid...

10:45 am

yes, but not in the grid.

10:45 am

hi Jac!

10:45 am

shea a manioc, manioc on the floor

10:45 am

but it is a word

10:46 am

hi Jacs...

10:46 am

10:46 am

10:46 am

way to go Judi, rest, and be better.

10:46 am

bye Judi...hope you feel better!!

10:47 am

afternoon Jac :) ...I'm now the proud possessor of a Spinergy game...

10:47 am

'jewed' was fine, 'manioc' not

10:47 am

Feel better Judi ..

10:47 am

Bye Judi hope you are better soon

10:47 am

Thanks, Stid. Later all. Don't drink any strange fluids and be kind to your airport screeners.

10:47 am

eb...its not a good time to say the words hi jacs

10:47 am

later Judi :)

10:47 am

Urgh lol chj

10:47 am

Lol chj ..

10:47 am

lol chj :)

10:48 am

oh!

10:48 am

oops!!!

10:48 am

"fonic" is sew two a wurd!

10:48 am

sherb, what is a Spinergy game?

10:49 am

okay, taking a break, back later.

10:49 am

Sherb - that arrived fast! Have you played it yet?

10:50 am

what's the 3rd letter of the en7?

10:50 am

Hursh, "c"

10:50 am

Hursh, "c"

10:51 am

thanks

10:51 am

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!

10:51 am

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...)

10:52 am

O.K. I shall look it up, thanks sherb and Jac

10:52 am

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

10:52 am

brb - phone.

10:53 am

hursh, for the en7 proceed from bottom up and to the left

10:53 am

ordered on Monday, arrived this morning... less than the price in the shops... no postage costs... I call that good service...

10:53 am

there's a lot up and to the left of the c :)

10:54 am

got 'em though!

10:55 am

it is good, sherb, it's just amusing how they always tell you it's going to take so long and it never does

10:55 am

now, is the od7 related to odometer or anything?

10:56 am

od7 is related to giving :)

10:56 am

ah, thanks sherb

10:57 am

put o in front of your do6 hurshy

10:57 am

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."

10:57 am

That should help ..

10:58 am

lol, if i hadn't already found it i'd be mad at you for giving too much away, tor

10:58 am

dragonflies & damselflies...I like that!!

10:58 am

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...

10:58 am

OOPS!!! Guess I should proofread once in a while . . . Idiot . .

10:58 am

why, except for the wings, that sounds like a description of me. odd.

10:59 am

you're a large predacious insect?

10:59 am

You're a brightly colored damsel, mab ..

10:59 am

now where's the knightinshiningarmorfly to save the damselfly from the dragonfly?

11:00 am

or maybe there'll be a twist... a shrekfly

11:00 am

predacious, multi-colored, etc. yep- that's me.

11:00 am

hurshy - tee hee hee!!

11:00 am

no, a princesssbridefly

11:00 am

Morning.... :-}

11:01 am

G'mornin' Lupe!

11:01 am

there's no dragon in the princess bride... if we had an ROUSfly, i could see

11:01 am

>:-]

11:01 am

morning Lupe :)

11:01 am

hi lupe :)

11:02 am

hmm, is the ho7 weird?

11:03 am

yes

11:03 am

thx for the greetings...gotta earn my paycheck now.

11:03 am

hurshy - not if you're a rhyming witch doctor....

11:03 am

yes, it is the plural of the 6, use all the ooooo

11:03 am

ho7 - look at nut's profile for a clue... in fact the whole word (pl of ho6)

11:03 am

ah.

11:03 am

i never think of it with h, only with v

11:04 am

thanks :)

11:04 am

Heya Lupe. you just missed me totally give away a word ..

11:04 am

but you covered it well, tor...

11:05 am

I'm an imp ...

11:05 am

this grid is driving me crazy!!! i'm getting the list.

11:05 am

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

11:06 am

If you lived in or near the badlands (Alberta) you'd know the "ho" words right away

11:06 am

inge - there are no 8 letter words today...

11:06 am

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...

11:07 am

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

11:07 am

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.

11:08 am

i often need to occupy time anyway...

11:08 am

whats the point in going listless and then asking for clues.....the people giving the clues are gonna use a list to help

11:08 am

and sometimes it's just too easy with the list

11:08 am

inge - fickle babble grid 8 )

11:08 am

oh, and my word stats claim taht I have found an 8-letter word!! hehe

11:09 am

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

11:09 am

you have the magic touch, inge!

11:09 am

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...

11:09 am

when you know where things fall alphabetically, it's practically a gimme.

11:09 am

and using a list allows you to actually figure out what the word should be instead of just monkeying the word

11:10 am

I just take my own sweet time...use "blues clues" and list as needed...

11:10 am

i have many games. i always make myself find at least 50% before looking at stats, and 80-90% before opening the chat log...

11:10 am

today, i have housework, so i'm in more of a hurry.

11:10 am

hence, list for the last 17.

11:11 am

Have you noticed how patriarchal todays words are? I keep tangling with the male words, sing, and pl

11:11 am

i understand the challenge of going without a list but then you shouldnt ask for or look at clues

11:11 am

that's good going... I can seldom get more than 60-70% without clues...

11:11 am

*wonders what this 'housework' is of which hurshy speaks* *giggles*

11:11 am

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

11:12 am

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

11:13 am

it was like being in the trenches together... people shared bits of lists... anything to finish...

11:13 am

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.

11:13 am

why, ladynoire, did we ignore your pleas for help?

11:13 am

happy birthday blue!

11:13 am

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

11:13 am

lady - I hope you feel better & your migraine goes away...

11:14 am

sorry, ladynoire, didnt know you were not well.

11:14 am

*throws a monkey-wrench into chj's theory* UNLESS...the person offering said clue went list-less...

11:14 am

thanks feather!!!

11:14 am

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

11:15 am

i think hurshy is just setting a personal challenge, rather than trying to be a purist

11:15 am

...but overall, I say...to each his/her own!!

11:15 am

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.

11:16 am

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

11:16 am

then they need not answer, chj. i never EXPECT anyone to give me clues, i don't think anyone should.

11:17 am

we don't have a constitutional right to clues.

11:17 am

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...

11:18 am

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.

11:18 am

i agree with that sherb

11:19 am

Amen, sherb and hurshy. I also hate too obvious clues: id + eye + hoop + cross ??

11:19 am

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)

11:19 am

anyway, it's EB's birthday... let's get back to the party!!!!!!!!!!

11:19 am

tor said a wooord...tor said a wooord...

11:19 am

lol

I think half the fun is giving clues ... it makes you think in ways you normally woudn't

11:20 am

well some people come on line and simply say im missing an s word....its like trying to find a needle in a haystack

11:20 am

(talk about obvious clues ) tee hee!!

11:20 am

Hi everyone

11:20 am

*passes around cake & party hats*

11:20 am

:( . . . *sigh* . . .

Happy Birthday, whoever it is!!!

11:21 am

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...

11:21 am

yes, sometimes it is chj, but that is why only the people who feel like doing that should respond to such requests.

11:21 am

tor - it's ok...

11:21 am

oh, I was waiting for the cake....

11:21 am

why, thank you lady!!

11:21 am

*takes party hat* this will be fun at the academy! Hi Judy!

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.

11:21 am

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.

11:22 am

I enjoyed that bit of therapy... :)

oh, CH, I missed it - want to vent some more ? LOL

11:22 am

thanks, sherb!

11:22 am

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.

11:23 am

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 ...

11:24 am

bake, tndaisy, bake!

refreshing was a good tip

11:24 am

*runs into chat log* HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EB !!!!!! :D:D:D

to my dismay, I did notice that

12:11 pm

Hi Air Jordan!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

12:11 pm

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...

12:11 pm

welcome raelite!

12:11 pm

in my defense, I've been playing for 2 hours and have 72 words though.

2:36 pm

oc + a wee bit is oc5/14

2:36 pm

2:36 pm

2:36 pm

2:36 pm

about half the time I am not able to get back to the puter to finish, which plays havoc with the stats

2:37 pm

guys who like stockings, dorens - sing. and plural

2:37 pm

they are weird Dorens. item worm under shoes + male , then plural

2:37 pm

Dorens, the first 2 I had never seen - what abe says

2:37 pm

2:38 pm

thanks wolvie, abe...i was trying so hard to find social, society..words that i DO know and hi snowy

2:38 pm

dunno... perhaps there's a wine that has the word blue in it?

2:39 pm

is blue nun a wine?

2:39 pm

this is an odd-ish grid, Dorens - at least to me.

2:39 pm

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

2:39 pm

oh...and the person with the footwear fetish spells it wrong...removes the last consonant

2:40 pm

so 6 one who holds land (old english)

2:40 pm

yes odd-ish is a good way to put it....

2:40 pm

2:45 pm

is this supposed to be this hard?

2:45 pm

sometimes the words are obscure rae

2:45 pm

you get used to t he weird words, raelite.

2:45 pm

lol raelite - depends on who you ask, I guess...

2:45 pm

I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall, but I just can't stop

2:45 pm

snowy - in captivity, they aren't poisonous, so you could meet one there (their poison is from their native diet)

2:45 pm

it get's a little easier as you continue to do these raelite, but you certainly learn a lot of new words

2:45 pm

now I have to know

2:46 pm

there's a whole bunch of weird words that show up again and again - you just start looking for them right away.

2:46 pm

am going to try now, thanks all

2:46 pm

we give good clues to help for the really obscure ones tho

2:46 pm

you can officially say "hello, my name is raelite and i am a babble addict"

2:46 pm

I speak six languages, how many more bloody words are there???

2:46 pm

np...let us know how it goes annieb and if u need any further assistance

2:47 pm

ok. I'm done venting

2:47 pm

abe - excellent choice ic** :)

2:47 pm

lol rae...some words are actually not in any dictionary i've ever seen.

2:47 pm

they look like half-words

2:47 pm

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!

2:47 pm

3:46 pm

Hi snowyowl, hi everyelse one!

3:46 pm

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.

3:46 pm

enemies are always male, because usually it's MEN who start the fights!!!! (sorry to all you good babbling men...)

3:46 pm

chj, you're really bringin' me down! :-)

3:46 pm

stid, you've never seen a good old-fashioned cat fight?

nrkii, I bet it was "somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness"

3:49 pm

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

3:49 pm

But men DON'T menstrate. :^)

MANeschevitz

4:21 pm

he was on wait wait dont tell me the other week

4:21 pm

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

4:22 pm

lbd, word, twice!

4:22 pm

to be pollitically correct...there is no man...it is person

4:22 pm

lbd said a wo-o-o-rd -- twice!

4:22 pm

my dictionary says that ma**** is a variant spelling of ma****, so either works...

4:22 pm

nrkii,I think Tom Bodette is in New England.I haven't heard him since I moved to NY. I forgot all about him.

4:22 pm

jillibus - the word can be spelt either way, but with different meanings.

4:22 pm

*blush* oops

4:22 pm

hursh - how about the wandering apostrophes?

4:23 pm

Haz, I know - that's my point!!!

4:23 pm

haz, but one of the meanings is "variant of xxxxxx"

4:23 pm

ugh, yes. but i have to go, my dinner is ready. bye all. :)

4:23 pm

4:27 pm

thank you snowy owl

4:27 pm

oc+ a wee bit

nut - both chocolate & vanilla

4:27 pm

oc+cross letter+picninc pest

4:28 pm

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

4:28 pm

oc6/21 - add the French aunt without her last vowel.

4:28 pm

bbl happy babbling everyoe

4:28 pm

Just figured that bit out. :^)

4:28 pm

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

4:28 pm

im boycotting apostrophes

4:28 pm

bye mymuse!

*breaks into another song* the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain....

4:29 pm

later mymuse

4:29 pm

and capital letters as well

4:29 pm

Now then, there's an interesting word. Do you know where boycott comes from?

4:29 pm

where haz?

4:30 pm

this verbal class distinction by now should be antique--I totally agree, chj

4:30 pm

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

4:30 pm

BOYcott another male word

4:30 pm

Yes please, HJz I do (Hand up and waving to get attention)

4:31 pm

I'll let hetty tell you.

4:31 pm

BOYcott? ah MAN!

ooh! jilli...cool!!

4:31 pm

he was a captain, actually--take it from there, Haz

4:31 pm

*calls on hetty*

4:31 pm

So, back to puxxling out the oc clue - ocio** doesn't work...

4:32 pm

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....

4:32 pm

hi, all-- I just tried to go to lickety's page, and got a "site not found" message... Is it me?

4:32 pm

hey, puxxling is a neat word, no?

4:32 pm

jill=oc6 oc+cross letter+picnic pest

4:32 pm

Workin' for me right now ...

lib - happening to many people today...

4:33 pm

Thanks haz, the phone was ringing. Stupid marketing nuisance

4:33 pm

hi lib -no not just you.

4:33 pm

ty, eb

4:33 pm

so is drixxling

4:33 pm

ty, snowy

4:33 pm

hi lib!

4:33 pm

yw lib

4:33 pm

it's person cott

4:34 pm

interesting haz

4:34 pm

sa5/12? I suck at this ...

4:34 pm

hi, krstinc!

4:35 pm

sa5/12 - add frozen water

4:35 pm

sa+frozen water

4:35 pm

right im personcotting all apostrophes and capital letters

4:35 pm

there should be a special list of such terms as "boycott" and "quisling" in some reliable dictionary

4:35 pm

kristinc: that's an ... odd word.

4:36 pm

it is hoaf...one of many odd words found on babble...glad you got it

4:36 pm

then "quisling" could be spelt "quasling" to maintain the anti-patriarchal balance

4:36 pm

good chj....i do the same, it;s the only way to live

4:36 pm

eponyms

4:36 pm

oc6 not coming - let's try the two so6/24s

4:36 pm

Welcome to babble, hoaf! It specialises in odd words.

4:37 pm

But Quisling was a person as well.

jilli - so - sounds like what you wear under shoes + grown up boy (and then boys)

4:37 pm

kristinc: easy hint. :^)

4:37 pm

oc6 adds a "t" to the oc5 ahead of it

chj - like "leotard"

4:38 pm

anr the word pirate comes from clarence pirate who loved wo walk around london with an eyepatch and a fake pegleg

4:38 pm

Haz, that's my point. And Qui is the masculine form of Who? in Latin.

4:39 pm

Then there's Spooner, with his spoonerisms (he loved his queer dean)

4:39 pm

But if he was Scandanavian then the Latin root wouldn't apply, would it? Or would it?

4:39 pm

Thanks hetty and EB - FIREWORKS!

4:39 pm

quisling was a norwegian who collaborated with the naaaaarzis (doing my churchhill impression)

4:40 pm

Mrs Malaprop - there, I've thought of a female one.

4:40 pm

chj - you making that pirate thing up?

4:40 pm

Latin always applies, to any Indoeuropean language

4:40 pm

oh, eb, I remembered what was on my bluebird dress... it said, "Mr Bluebird's on my Shoulder..."

4:40 pm

jillibus: another hint for the so6/24 words?

4:40 pm

he;s working on my edginess

4:40 pm

I think--anyway, makes a good point

4:40 pm

quiz was supposedly made up on a bet

4:40 pm

no, mrs malaprop i believe was a fictional character

nrkii - Zipideedodah...zippideeaye!!

4:41 pm

Not "There's a bluebird on my windowsill..."? Dang, and I looked up the words

4:41 pm

giving the pirate myth character

4:41 pm

well done jilli!

4:41 pm

I've just realised that!

4:41 pm

zippety doda zippety a

4:41 pm

jillibus: got it. thanks!

4:41 pm

I'm so glad you brought her up, Haz,even if her name begins in a suspiciously male way

4:41 pm

BTW, you can't find "Song of the South" anywhere in the US ...

4:41 pm

I believe it's doo dah

woo hoo jilli!!!

4:42 pm

yw, hoaf, but I didn't give the hint!

4:42 pm

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.

4:42 pm

and ay

hoaf - a lot of racial issues with SOTS...

4:42 pm

and there's many a truth in fiction

bye kristin!

4:42 pm

I read a previous hint ... and my feeble little brain finally clunked into gear.

4:42 pm

later kris!

4:43 pm

bye kris

4:43 pm

(poof)

4:43 pm

easternblue - yeah, I know ... but they use footage of it in the Disney Corportate Indoc^H^H^H^H^HOrientation video.

4:43 pm

and I'm going to have another late lunch and check out those wordy websites...TTFN

4:43 pm

think of all Dickens' names and the way they have entered the language

4:43 pm

bye all!

4:43 pm

bye kristinc!

4:44 pm

hey y'all!

hoaf...didn't know that...interesting!

4:44 pm

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)

4:44 pm

hi/bye kristin!

4:44 pm

bowdlerisms -Thomas Bowdler was buried in the graveyard of the church I attended as a child.

4:44 pm

Do politicians take the democratic oath?

4:45 pm

what does that term mean, snowy? i used to know but i've forgotten.

4:45 pm

i wanna take the chocoholic oath

4:45 pm

no they just take our money

4:45 pm

4:48 pm

4:53 pm

5:00 pm

I think it's a very difficult grid.

5:01 pm

LOL! :D

5:01 pm

(Nah, not really but it is a toughie)

5:01 pm

It can then be pluralised for to6/21.

5:05 pm

to5/12 lone rangers sidekicks twin brother

5:06 pm

I read that - lone ranger sidekicks twin brother, then realised what you meant. No apostrophes, you see.

5:06 pm

Good Evening folks!

No astrophe needed. Really. :^)

5:07 pm

5:07 pm

Has the lone ranger turned nasty, I wondered?

5:07 pm

How did the Loan Ranger's twin brother feel about being sidekicked?

5:07 pm

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

5:07 pm

Hello tingy! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

hi tingy....we haven't met before...nice to see you!

5:10 pm

You watch them on Saturday morning.

5:10 pm

5:11 pm

There are two to5/14 - children's plaything with vowel and different consonant endings.

5:11 pm

thats why we men are trying to perfect voice recognition software

5:11 pm

The Blue Parrot?!? You mean the competitor to Rick's?!?

Referring to chj's buddy icon...

5:12 pm

douglas...every icon i post has multiple meanings..glad you saw that

5:12 pm

hi Douglas

5:12 pm

How 'bout the non-car-related to5/14?

5:12 pm

Douglas - good evening!

5:12 pm

This grid is administering a first-rate tushy-whupping to me...

5:13 pm

but he does have lovely plummage doesnt he

5:13 pm

to5/14 - builds on the to4/6 (child's plaything plus vowel)

5:13 pm

hoaf same car word, but w/single hump letter at end

5:13 pm

Ah, yes, the Norwegian Blue, very lovely plumage...Yes!

5:13 pm

Douglas - I hated this grid, so you are not alone in finding it difficult.

5:13 pm

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.

5:14 pm

being of norwegian heritage myself, im also pining for the fjords

5:14 pm

i now have 29 words....

5:14 pm

hi all - sneaking on at work ! sweet sweep chj!

5:14 pm

Of course, there's learning the voice commands to navigate around the internet and software programs. But it's worth it!

5:14 pm

Hello Douglas!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

5:15 pm

ch1212 - do you use VR all the time?

5:15 pm

renny...looks like another long night of speed babbling

5:15 pm

hi debbinla

5:15 pm

sweep is sweet

5:15 pm

It is well here in Minnesota

5:15 pm

Mostly when I'm writing, Haz. For Babble it's faster if I simply keyboard.

5:16 pm

hi snowy

5:16 pm

Ick ... I have the to5/14 related to playthings ... but not the other one. Unless I missed a hint somewhere?

5:16 pm

i;m trying to breach the gap

hello debbinla

5:16 pm

hey ya deb!

5:17 pm

mand

5:17 pm

Sorry.

5:17 pm

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.

5:17 pm

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

5:17 pm

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....

5:18 pm

hows everyone doing? i have to finish early cause i have to go be social tonight - so i might be asking some questions.......

5:18 pm

renny..you up for a bit of speed babbling now

5:18 pm

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.

5:19 pm

ask away, im finished

5:19 pm

Hi debbinla! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

5:19 pm

debbinla -- LOL!! You sound like me "have to be social" -- :D

Not many Hungarian enclaves in my part of Maryland, I admit.

6:35 pm

en6 - holm oak is the def.

6:35 pm

en 6 sounds like a city in california

6:35 pm

kind of

6:35 pm

Mmm...Pramanti (spelling?) sandwiches?? MMM

6:36 pm

en - city in the san fernando valley of california (change last vowel)

6:36 pm

U in Pittsburgh?

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

pierogies are my FAVORITE

6:37 pm

Hey Roc..another Marylander. Yes, evan, they are not for everyone.

6:40 pm

eh? - wedges...no

6:40 pm

wedgies

6:40 pm

wedge is a sammich

6:41 pm

usually steak, with lettuce, tomato, onion, some italian dressing maybe, folded in a pizza crust.

6:41 pm

it's another carb killer

6:42 pm

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.

6:43 pm

there's a little pizza shop in oakland that had the best wedgies

6:43 pm

hey

6:43 pm

yeah- that's the place

6:43 pm

oh, weird

9:14 pm

sure flask

9:15 pm

thanks Ren.....

thanks for the clue ren

9:15 pm

9:16 pm

we use to

9:16 pm

but now now??

9:16 pm

thanks Ren

9:17 pm

Missing 2 to 4's and 2 to 5's -- any oddities out there?

9:18 pm

i don;t know that answer flask. let;s check the instructions wherever they are....

9:18 pm

you get points in teh middle column, flask, but not the side columns.

9:18 pm

I think...

9:18 pm

ok

9:19 pm

na4/4 & le5/16 please

9:19 pm

have two to 5/12's --- what to 5's am I missing?

9:19 pm

the object is to get the hiighest score that you can.

9:19 pm

i dont believe thats true

9:19 pm

oh stidmama -- I so glad someone can think -- it certainly isn't me!!!

9:20 pm

i believe your score in the ouer columns is an average

9:20 pm

LOL Nan!

9:20 pm

I can think, but cannot type...

9:20 pm

oh well. story time.

9:20 pm

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.

9:21 pm

I can type, but if you can't think nothing to type!

9:21 pm

So now everyone knows that Paul is home. They have all gone in to dinner...

9:21 pm

your score for the day is the number of points you got divided by the number of points in a completed puzzle times 1000

9:21 pm

I'm really becoming very annoyed that todo is not accepted.

9:21 pm

how it is calcualted is beyond my calculus

9:22 pm

ok...thanks all for your help!

9:22 pm

goodnight to you all!!

9:22 pm

tha MAN has spoken

9:22 pm

therefore if you got 1500 points on a 3000 point puzzle your score for the day is (1500/3000)x1000 = 500

9:23 pm

have two to 5/12's --- what to 5's am I missing? --- please, pretty please

9:23 pm

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.

9:31 pm

He raised his glass to Ava, who returned his gaze lovingly.

9:31 pm
