a mosquito just bit me on the elbow
Waaaa! I had entered a word and the site went down and now I can't remember what the word was!

now if I could only remember the 3 words I put in that didn't take lol
mee tooooooo jilli!!!!111
ren, that means that your elbow is moving too slowly

nites

Hiya mab! Geez I have'n't seen sfneil in ages
I've found 95 and want another 5 before turning in but eyes are prickling and brain is shutting down...
Hi Hugs! I didn't know you Babbled too! :D

Nef!! Yeah I've been babbling for about a year now.
Good for you Jilli\
and I've reached my goal....nite all....have fun babbling
Nites mymuse
good sleeps
bye mymuse
I think I'll be good and go -- have fun -- ni4/4 all!
My bio says I started about a year ago; I suppose someone must have told me of this site back then. But I've really just been playing the past 2-3 months and am now addicted
Geez Nef... I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been? Do you miss BM?
Goodnight Jili
I do miss BM; and I can't get into the chats either
bye jill
There's a lot of us old BM'ers playing Kingdom of Loathing now.
ni4/4 Jilli
bye jilli, a bientot
bye jilli, a bientot
bye jilli, a bientot
I must check out loathing...
between here and there... and that new site Yoink got me hooked on... there's just not enough time in a day
I got tired of KOL last fall. Besides, I got elected to 1st VP of my nursing association and just ran out of time for hanging out on the 'puter all of the time
What site did Yoink get you hooked on? I've run into him a few times here
http://www.quote-puzzler.com/default.a sp
mab, KOL is a fun game and there are lots of different ways of playing it; you shold check it out
oh-oh. Is that going to be another addicting game?
there's actually 7 different word games a day. But most of them are time, so you get through them quite quickly.
okay, I've bookmarked that site. I'll check it out probably on Monday *MY* day off! :D
I finally got a new job in April. It's okay but nothing great.
Really? Did you quit your old job, or were you let go? (I can't remember the details right now; sorry)
still going to casinos in MN? ;)
They reclassified my position so that I needed accreditation for my accounting. So after 21 yrs I was no longer "qualified" for the job.
Yeah... I'm going again in October
that's right!
That was a year ago in June, and I'll be getting my last salary continuance cheque next week. Not too bad, eh?
*wanders in* hi! what's BM??
My Aunt that raised me up there died in April; Hubby's MS has progressed and he's taken disability retirement; and I've been off work for over 2 months from work injury. Oh; and we totalled 2 cars so far this year (neither our fault, thank goodness)
BM was a game called Badde Manors that is no longer functioning
Wow... the past year hasn't been good to you. Sorry to hear all that.
and here I though my 17 year old grand daughter being pregnant was a load....
it has been a long year already; but I keep saying it's getting better bit by bit! :)
LOL Blaze! Sometimes life seems to suck but then again there are the good times too
(give me a few minutes and I'll think of a few!) :D
It is all in the balance... I find prayer gets me through somehow.... are you healing from your work injury??
hi all i just turned pro can not figure the icon thingy out
yes, The good news is it was work-related and I got workers' comp; the bad news is I needed surgery. I'm not sure yet if my return to 4 hour shifts of PAPERWORK is good or bad yet! YUK! Hopefully I can start *REAL* nursing again soon! (I just started back to work for the 4 hr shifts last week)
tazpink go up on the screen and click on my account... edit icon...
Taz, it took me a while to figure it out too; now that I got ONE icon on, I'm not changing for a while! :D
hef lol
blazwe i couldnt get the url
taz in the profile box on the upper corner is the icon edit.... I don't use a url I browse through my pics after cut and past from google image... oh my that sounds more complicated that it really is....
ok gonna go try
Taz, for now, you can just fill out the profile and continue to use the grey shadow until you get the rest the way you like it
down to 116 words to find....
Thanks for reminding me that I'm supposed to shut up and search for words, Blaze! :)
that was no reminder that was just whining on my part
taz - go to google images and type in the category you want. When you find the picture you like, right-click on it, choose 'save image as' and put it in your My Pictures file with a name that means something and .jpg or .gif afterwards. Make sure it is saved that way. Then go to My Account and Edit, go down to Browse. It will take you to your My Pictures and the one you like. Click on it. You'll go back to Edit and click on Upload. You'll pobably have to refresh. At the same time, do your profile and don't forget to 'Update Profile'. Also 'Show Profile'. Hope this helps.
I like to chat too much! I've only found 62 words because I'm chatting too much
jili you are a pro at explaining.... thank you
chatting is good... especially when there are so many caring people to listen and not judge
I'm supposed to be in bed....lol
fine
jilli - you are amazing !
ooopsss
so true Blaze. But see; I've found that if I chat I can't babble because I keep putting the chat in the word box and the words in the chat box!
who, me? *looks around for another jilli*
Yeah I know what you mean....ROFLOL
I *thought* I said good Ni4/4 to you a while ago Jilli! :D
taking a break now, good hunting! bbl
has anyone found the 11 or 10 letter?
Dianne - are you going to get an icon?
Hey there jilli, I'm still here muddling through
you are amazing, Jilli! I just hope to be as active when I reach your age as you are!
hi flosey - I'm coming to a screeching halt!
me too - time to go to bed
head might be a bit clearer in the morning
Thanks nef - just doing what comes natcherly
RPC i've found them
Hugs what letter do they begin with please (())
how many words today please
I'm sorry; they start with Tu

240 edmo
240 words
thank you
still 56 left to find and I'm floundering
Thanks, Hugs! Got them!
ok back
didnt do it
thank you thank you thank you....
LOL Taz! I like your icon! :D
both of them!
taz you did something just blank.... make sure you tell it to load... I usually forget that part... it should also when you load you may have to hit refresh
the black square?
good for a black square
taz, for some reason your icon is black here but when I click on it I see what you chose. I did refresh but it's still the same. Can you go back and refresh again?
may i please have a clue for the 10 and 11 letter word?
just refreshed
RPC18 - used to get rid of paint
did you hit Upload?
I like the black square (no one has had that one) but also the spay and neuter one too
it could be the the photo is too big for the tiny icon..
lol
RPC, they begin with Tu
you should also have a flag and the little person
the black square is also unique for the optical illusion theme for today (or was tat yesterday?)
jill i wonder where thye are grrr\
where what are, taz?
taz just fill in the profile they will come on there own
it is filled out
trier
11 letter word is paint remover
and again I say ooopssss
Oh, you mean the flag and such...did you say "show profile"?
cpt, that's the plural; the singular is 10 letters
Thank You Very Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i better check ty
taz it is a check box in upper right corner
taz, did you fill in the Optional profile on the right?
people actually pay for this
wow
there are so many almost words in this grid... down to 107 to find
done ty
yep, we did, cpts! :D and it'
hilarious
cpst Of course they do... it is way better...
s worth it to us to be paying members too!
Blaze - we're mirror images - I'm at 107 found!
YAY Taz! :D
ty lol
Yeah taz your little women and your flag are flying... maybe try changing your icon to something smaller
i think the black box makes me look mysterious lolo
you are right it does make you mysterious...
It's a great optical illusion, don't you think Blaze?
Clues will be up momentarily, just got back from soccer.
and makes people click on it to see what's what, I bet
good nite everyone :)

An ELEVEN letter word in today's grid? Lordy, I'm in trouble.

That's my 100 - I can use the list now - hurrah!

You will cut down on the habit and do what you have to do, of course. Or you'll suffer from severe sleep deprivation ;)
oh good matty....praps you might throw out some clues then !
i wasn't sure if i would still like it after a few grids, but i keep coming back. so i guess i got sucked in :)
Stidmama is partly in the grid today :)

good morning amanda
Hi amanda :)
Anyone wanna clue the cr6/21 and 7/32?
Never mind - I was looking at the wrong C
*lets go of the breath she was expectantly holding in*
It's name day in the grid. I'e found R4, Sven and Arthur in only 10 minutes
Morning Amanda. Sprite, why were you holding your breath?
I was waiting for the clues for those Cr's :)
you're going to feel like a fool sprite !
another word for 'moron' sprite
LOL! Given it's a Sunday when school's out, I suspect we'll find a few of them trolling around on here LOL!
cr 6 obnoxious person plural for cr 7
LOL! Thanks a million... I think!
... and C4
How about the cu7/40 and its probably related 8/55?
matt think of someone who has done something minus the l
...and f4 (if we're counting dog's names)
drinking vessel plus correct matty
Thanks Karys (and Ruthy)
It is a kind of ore, I see. Looks more like a set of customs around drinking :)
And thanks for the clues!
LOL Sprite!
got to go and do 'brunch'....don't all finish without me !!!
Bon appetit, Karys!
...and Veit (it's a German name)

Morning all. Bit more to get the teeth into today then.
Rodin and Monet, I should even say!

Thanks lynxxx. Got them straight away.
Ooo, thanks, sha and lynxx - saw those right away!

Bye R4y!

bye ruthy
seeya ruthy
Bye Ruthy

I keep seeing cutthroat in the grid.
Matty I looked at that one (icon) but when I saw it it moved.
Ha, a th5/14 babbler who sees that phantom! :)
Yah - you have to have it three D apparently to make it work. There's a link on my profile.
Sprite, is that a hint?!
morning y'all- i see we went from small to huge- and of course on a day when i'm limited with time
I think it was - got it! :D
hi beebee

Hi beebee

Hello Everyone!!
Hey Pres!
mrP! Long time no see! *hug*

Hi MrP!
good evening MRP
Thanks sprite! Got it.
In the flesh!
{{{{sprite!!}}}} welcome back!! {{hugs}} hello matty and lynxxx and amanda!! nice to see EVERYONE!!
...and Rene
It's a name grid, mrP! I think we have already found 15 names or so.
Only one is valid so far...
I've got 2 valid ones, Sprite
ah, dino is in there
Let's see... C4 the 2nd one? That is German, I think?
madie
corine
art
codi
Even Rodin and Monet, mrP.
oh, those lovely names!! yes yes... I was going the first names! LOL
Yep, that's the 2nd one - K is more common in German, I think. You see the C in the States quite often
Thanks amanda! Didn't know that.
what's the theme for today> And - good morning all!
Nice, one typo and I have a Pr7/32! Object to something, change first vowel.
Hi Wolvie!
Optical illusions today, wolfie!
thanks - off to look for an icon!
Morning all........
Hi Flask
Ah, found it, Sprite - I was reading your clue as 'OBject to something' rather than 'obJECT to something' and was trying to make something out of predicate
Oops! Sorry to have s4 you on a wild goose chase!
let's see if it updated
no problem - I found another pr7 along the way
With refresh it does. Nice icon!
The make believe one?
yep
hey thanks - quickie today - look at all these words - a blip yesterday, and now a biggie!
Good, got that one. Slowwwwly but surely getting there!
guess I didn't miss much yesterday
it was fast, amanda, even for me. :-)
It was fun, yesterday, but small.
lots of 4 letter words I had never seen
Good morning all... a big one today! Clues for cu 7 and 8?
good morning kk
Good morning Wolvie
kkiln: copper ore(s). But the word sounds more like a set of customs around drinking.
going to read about copper ores.
And leave out one letter for Cu6/24-7/36 combo.
ooo, thx Sprite, didn't have that one
Just found it myself :)
Thanks Sprite -- got them...
more phantoms: caffeine, tureen
Fireworks. A very nice grid today!
Good Morning All, clue for the 10 please
good clues, sprite - thanks - and congrats!
Afternoon ..........how are you all Yeah for sprite!!!
good morning peri
Plural of what you use to clean paint brushes.
Yay Sprite!
Congrats Sprite!
Hi peri and caitlyn :)
thanks matty
hi peri, caitlyn
Oh, I didn't realize there was an 11 letter word! got it along with the 10
here is the latest on the babble clues page office antics: http://licketysplitaus.googlep ages.com/DSC02544.JPG
Any more clues needed?
sprite, I didn't get the clue for the cu7 and 8
Hi mrpresident how are you?
A lazy sunday morning at MrP's house - tho I guess it isn't morning there, is it
Stuck on 6/27? any help appreciated
hello caitlyn! well thank you... putting the kids and animals to bed...
Awwww!!! Hey pres - love the picture. I love computers sometimes. This is cool. I've just seen a picture of today's grid...in AUSTRALIA. Cool
Can anyone help with the in6/21 and the in6/18?
it is 9.10pm and you have just got a birds eye view of our pets next to the grid!! :D
Great pic, mrP!
thank you!!
kkiln? Which 6/27?
Clues for the 8's appreciated
What're your dog and cat called? Can anyone help with a pair of the ins as below?
fe 6/27 sprite...there is only one with these numbers.
matty do u have the in 6/18 that is a doctor wannabe?
Do now, allstar - thanks!
in6/18: physician gaining supervised practical experience in a hospital after graduating from medical school called also houseman in6/21: in + one piece of walking
yw
Thanks Sprite!
Multitasking isn't working for me, clearly.
the dog (shetland sheepdog) is Vixie and the cat (mongrel tortoise shell) Jessie.
a sore will fe6.27 if not treated
fe6/27: uncle from addams family. Or more yuck: to generate pus. There are more 6/27s in this grid, by the way!
kiln - the fe is what a wound might do, or a character on Gunsmoke
in 6/27 when u by a house u in....
or stocks
ignore those clues, they were wishfukl thinking
I think that would be with a V, allstar. This one means To inhabit or overrun in numbers or quantities large enough to be harmful, threatening, or obnoxious
Awww. My cat's fast asleep on the sofa - she's Sunny (or usually, stupid cat)
Sofa. Another phantom.
LOL matty!
hey Mr P - my cake icon made your pic. ;-) the animals look cool!
Woops - the Gunsmoke character was called something else - Sprite's right, Addam's Family character
ya i was thinking one word while trying to clue for another
Only one letter difference, you were close ;)
thanks wolvie!!
I am off, have a great day/night/whatever all of you!
well if ur looking for in 8/55 use that clue but change one letter add er
see ya Sprite!
Thanks Sprite....have a great day!
bye, Sprite!
Bye sprite
Bye Sprite!
bye sprite!! I will catch up on email with you about your trip I hope?!!
lata sprite
Caitlyn, how does your profile look?
work, I meant - not look.
The trip is still to come, we will be leaving for Germany on thursday. We'll be in touch, mrP! :)
Ah! have fun fun fun!!!
Where will you be Sprite? Anywhere around Hamburg?
We go to Kroev, at the Moesel.
matty you are supposed to stare at the cross in the middle and the green spots appear to take out the pink ones...it works on a larger scale!!
Ah, nice area. Nice wine!
Bye all!
hi, first time user....some clues for 7 letter words would be appreciated
anyone have te 5/12? It may be simple, but can't find it.
not yet
not yet kiln - *goes hunting*
p7 = before an important exam you might take this
cr 7 = a person with abnormal intelligence
another p7 - to make believe
Hi jg welcome to babble!! there is a co7/36 an explosive !!+ plural
te5/12 add a vowel to te4/5
thanks for your help guys...I'm getting the idea
YW jg
JG once you find the explosive Caityln mentioneds...there is an en 7 = plural with the same ending.
I've just come back in to have a go. Only managed 18 so far, but that includes the 10 and 11
jg26 - you might pr 7/36 to be ill if you wanted a day off work.
Hi ExWren
Caitlyn--- that is te 5/10. This is the first te.
thanks Caitlyn for the te 5
thanks suemagee got that one!
Hi Sue!
Hi caitlyn, I have seen your icon before and you are right, it does work better in a larger form
Hi Matty!
Ah, found the te5/12 - it shows up now and again... scottish for tithe (until I think of a better clue)
Thanks ExWren...after a night out last night I need more than optical illusions!!
Good day?
te5/12 - rhymes with German for enemy?
hi everyone - just got the te5/12... def: a tithe. like the fi5/18 but switch vowel order
Hi jaiel
Hi Caitlyn :)
Would someone be kind enough to clue the or7/32, or was it clued already?
Thank you jaiel....I never would have found it. I kept finding Spanish words...
he he, me too.. TENER mucho gusto
Jaiel - mad as it sounds, it's the plural of ordo.
I could do with that word again.
Which one, Matty?
not sure i got you Sue %-)
It's OR + DI 5/12.
arthritis is soooo almost there!
ty Sue!
My pleasure.
got it Sue, thanks.
Got it, thanks Sue.

babble--2 degrees of separation, LOL
have just realised how time can fly as I do this challenge!
I opened the grid, the first word I did not see is cutthroat. OY
you too, huh, pam?
and, madness
jg26 - it is addictive, believe me!
Me too, Pam! Stuck on the Os at the moment - I always find vowel words difficult.
I'm giving myself a 15 minute limit and then I must go and get organised for tomorrow!
the last tr 6 & 7 combo???
With you on the vowels, mattty. I always find myself looking for phantoms,...
jg -- I have ben giving myself many limits...but I am glued!
Bet you're still here in half an hour jg26!
you could be right suemagee!
I need the or6/18 and its possibly related or7/28...and embarassingly, I need the on5/10
o 5/10-- a feaver can mark the o**** of an illness
on 5/10 - start of
matty - on5/10, beginning? (I hate o words too!)
Matty - ON- start of a disease.
matty--- think of the eastern world....for both
See - I told you it was embarrassing. Pass the fish!
wolvie--NICE icon
Or 6/18 - the east.
thanks, Pam - yours is good too. ;-)
Is there a theme today
Thanks guys. Pass loads of fish. Got all three of my missing words. Gosh, I'm a cr5!
good morning everyone! It is a beautiful one
camo
Hi, eva!
Hi Eva!
sorry!
good morning Eva
but isn't it nice that my slips are never real words?
actually, Eva, that's pretty bad - we could all use a word or two. ;-)
any clues on the last tr 6 and 7?
have been hunting since you asked, kiln - still haven't found them...
kkiln-Im not looking at lists yet, but do you have the ones re something which is overused/hackneyed?
ooo, thanks Eva - had the one, but not the other.
yw
...other two, now that I went the right way 'round
Eva -- am looking....I do not think so....I have two sixes which have no meaning...
the last tr 6/7 are endings to the previous tr 5
religious ceremony with a t in front of it and the comparative
as well as the suprelative
Guten Morgen!
Hi, inge!
hins
Morgen Inge!
lots of German words in there today
Guten morgen - oder nachtmittag fuer mich.
going back to the right box
thanks, inge, NEVER would have gotten that one...
just started, no German wrods found yet
Thanks Eva... and inge....I keptwriting the plural and that doesn;t exist. must take a break! That last one took me some time.
pu6/24 - the last one, the one before rotten?
kiln - how 'bout those tr6's with no meaning? My monkeys aren't finding them
Never mind - got it!
which ones do you need...I just found some amandacath
dunno, pinecone - all, or rather both, tr6's I have have definitions
...and kiln said there were two with none
Kiln is mistaken...
oh. Then never mind...
There is one....combo 6/7 t + nothing in French + plural
there are 5 words with the same 4 letters
tr words
should read t + nothing in French + second vowel for the 6 and the 7 is the plural
thanks, kiln...got three words form that, 2 6's and a 7
ok, got 4 of them, putting monkeys to work
the tr 8 is the previous word with a const + vowel before the plural
oh the tu10 and 11 !!! what a twister!!
ty, pinecone
oops out stayed my time limit. what do you do to unwind inorder to go to sleep....i think the letters will be swirling round in my head!!!

SE5/10 is gonna be another fish word for me. The second one.
take a t 4 word and add an i to the middle
te5 - shove an i in the middle of te4/5
wolvie, it's a Babble "regular"--stick a vowel in the middle of te4/5
thanks guys - got it - finally!
change the last letter to an i for the se word
you seem to be having a tough time with the letter i today!
hooked on phonics works for me : )
Ta!

which, lol
ha! I was so worried about "doing it" again I clicked off the chat box too soon and never pressed enter!
lol
the one we all go one for summer to fit in our bikinis, also pl
yep, I have it, but don't subject myself to it as a rule, just when I feel like it
never a subject for me, I do the cooking and dont have a lot of support so it never works for me
besides both my parents were 4x4's so ifeel doomed : (
lol--I am not small, but figure that's the way it is--but I get a TON of exercise and that is what matters. Sorry there is no support for you athome
maybe if I quit babbleing, put a fi4/7 under my hi4/6 end grabbed the re5/10 and went with it, it could work
Or, do all of that, and babble at night...
Nice use of clues, by the way!
thxxs but really not complaining, just "babbling"
lol

does anyone have or7?
my icon actually fits the theme for a change
the first one
plural of or6
the Far East
Fran - sort of 'makes a priest' - less a letter in the middle
that's the second one. The first or7 is the plural of ordo, if you can belive it.
or plus a di 5/12

Hi, Amanda, Annie.
charm, how is the weather down in Florida, my friend is flying back tomorrow
charm, are you in the panhandle?
We're in NW FL - the panhandle, near Mobile, AL. But it's awfully nice here - sunny and hot.
Lovely here in NY---she's flying out of JFK and she is leaving plenty of time for security measures
Is she coming to the Pensacola area? We were at the beach yesterday - it was beautiful.
the 1st cu7 please?
No, she lives in Hallandale Beach which is southeastern Florida near the beach too. Florida is a beautiful state. My husband and I used to stay in the Everglades National Park when we visited. Wonderful.
never mind - found it. sorry
Well, we have 363 gorgeous, not-to-be-forgotten days. But those other 2 are doozies!
Hope your hurricane season has no hurricanes in it!
We're all keeping our fingers crossed on that one, Annie!
btw, if you happen to want a bit of waterfront property....
charm, you all have had enough of that!
mornin all -*yawns sleepily*

Good morning -- how's the grid today?
Hey, ch1212.
not too bad.
morning, ch
Annie, like your icon -- clever.
a clue please for CU8??
ch, that was yesterday's theme and I like it so much will keep it for a few days. I also have a heck of a time changing the icon. thanks
cu7 = drinking vessel + ceremony. cu8 is pl.
hi flask
Charm, or + what you use to get from the sidewalk into the house, in the singular
Hi Annie!
flask - it's some kind of copper thingy, looks like ceremony for drinking vessels
thanks all!!....Got it!
I thought it was an optical illusion because the stripes are offset -- but of course yesterday's theme was flags, so ... either way! :)
Byzantine, I lost you. (sorry)
ch, youre right! LOL
I'm off - happy babbling all!
bye, Amanda. thanks for the help.

So how is everyone doing today? Is the grid behaving??
Hi Stidmatt!!
Its a biggie!
New icon!
Hi flask!
Done. clues before I go?
yay, charm!!!
clever stidmatt!
hurray for charm!
ty Annie.
Huzzah for charm! *throws confetti*
Good one Stid!
Well done Charm!
Wow, that's a good one, stidmatt... makes me dizzy!
Found it on the internet! Google optical illusions. It is near the top.
Thanks, jera - you are bringing the vacuum, right?
Charm a clue for the in8's please??
Jera! I've been thinking about you because I've not seen you in such a while! Welcome home (your babble-home)!
It's biodegradable...
Very dizzying
Hi mab!
in8/55 = too many bugs invading your home is the in6/27. the 8 is one who invades your home.
Thank you, my queen! How have you been??
mab - clever illusion
in8/50 = in5/10 prefix + what you do with a knife/scissors.
I'm ok, how are you? is all well with you and family?
We are on the mend still, the Sprite & are still coughing a bit at night... it's a bad lingerer type...
Flask - yes? no?
Aw, sounds a bit miserable.
the knife one puzzles me...
Yikes, my 4 year old just brought me a tampon & asked Mommy what is dat?
in8 = in5 (a prefix meaning among) + ow-ow-ow a paper *** is burning my finger (or to get a hair *** when it's too long)
thanks, charm
thanks Charm...got them!!
good. I'm off to pitch a t=ball to my 4yo who has absolutely no hand-eye coordination. have fun babbling. see y'all tomorrow.
bye charm - have fun
bye Charm!!
bye charm, happy t=ball!
LOL, Jera. My nephews used to play rockets and missiles with mine, from upstairs ove rthe railing to downstairs
ar
Oh boy... sounds like I got off easy... can't block him from the bathroom since we are potty-training (still, groan)
My 8 year old neice has stayed since Wednesday and we had a really interesting 'birds and bees' conversation last night. I think she knows more than me!!
Watch out at the checkout line at the store too--I have been humiliated there by the boys when they say something about female equipment
nets
Oops
Well, my husband's cell phone is ringing... that means I gotta go... back later...
have that one scrabbler, and hi
Bye Jera
Hello toeveryone else. How's the grid?
hello again
Good morning. i am going to play for 15 minutes before I head to Mass
Hi candy, what a beautiful dog in your icon
hi mva
arid
AAAHHH, I hate when I do that. Sorry.
Hi Scrabbler --- there's one word :) We have about an hour before we head out to Mass
scrabbler, have that one also, lol
Hi Annie - Just like mine looked like - not mine though
hi there - any clues for af5,16?
An 11 letter word---yikes.
af5 = a + burning
java- a + fi4/7
TY
ty i just couldnt see that
i have a question about the theme for Wednesday--what are "Gold Toes"??
Can anyone clue a fi5/18, the last one I think and the fo6/30 please?
fo6/30 is olde way of spelling fe5/18
Hi Une----have no idea..hmmmm
maybe a brit thing??
There are men's sock in the U.S. called "Gold Toes"
Planet Endor is not a word--the ewoks would be mad.
i have no idea what gold toes are and i'm English!
i know about the socks . . . but a gold toes DAY??
fi5/18 - a stretch of water - think of the Forth
TY
hi Haz
prine
Hello Anniebrook! A nice grid today, isn't i?
Sorry, and don't bother trying it anyway
Thanks Haz - Have looked at that for ages
Yes, the cute liittle bears would be quite put out.
there are at least 4 babb;lers in todays grid
yes ..112 words so far and no list but it is not far away
Hi Matt. I would love to visit Endor and hike inthe woods
my last name is in the grid
morning, chj
You're welcome, candy.
actually more because one item counts for multiple babblers
Yes, or the Redwood National Park, that is where it was filmed.
Afternoon all. Just passing through on my way to the kitchen. Gold Toe socks (according to Google) are insect-repellant socks fromJC Penney's??
Ha, yes, Matt. And to stay overnight with the ewoks would be fun.
I managed 130 words today and then had to resort 'to the list. I still don't think I'll finish though
Hi Jacula!
Hi Jac!!
lol Jacs!
matt, what is your icon today?
right, jac--they're a pretty common sock but I don't get why we're gonna have a Gold Toes Day . . . is it maybe a sports thing?
Yes, unless if they ate us, remember in Episode VI when they wanted to eat Han, LEia, Chewie, and Luke?
Une - No idea! Not the foggiest!
an optical illusion.
Bu they turned out to be "our" allies.
BBL - need to get the lamb and potatoes roasting.
But then 3PO said that they were good, and they needed to be freed.
thought maybe it was sports--unless it's tennis, I'm clueless on that topic!!
Yes.
hi annie
or we can all paint our toes gold
SEe ya Jacula!
true, LOL!
Time to leave for Mass. I'll be back later today.
bye Scrabbler
Don't forget Tuesday is Holy Day of Obligation :)
bye scrabbler
Bye Scrabbler!
Yes, Assumption--must find time to attend somehow. Oh, I just heard my hummingbird outside.
ok, Renfield chose "Gold Toes" . . .
Well, I have to see if there is a world out there, see all you folks later!
bye, annie
by annie
bye annie
afternoon all :)
I have to get ready for church --- bbl!
hey, sherb!
Hi sherb!
55 left to find and I'm running out of ideas...
Hello sherb. At the head-banging stage, or does that come later?
hi stidmatt
never saw u earlier there!
Hi Cathyar!
Haz have you finished?
mons
oops sorry
No, candy, not yet. 67 left. I'm ploughing through the list.
Like your icons Cathy and Candy!!
is that your pooch, candy?
ty...it's supposed to be a sort of illusion ...
hi Haz :) ...still quite chilled at the moment... 184 words without any help, but now I'm watching the grid for clues...
it works well.....
No Une - but looks just like she did
Hi there Haz......is it as chilly over there as it is here???
awww, what a sweet face!
aww...cute candy
So you need people to start asking the right questions, sherb? You've done very well to get this far!
Cool icon Sherb!
Hello Flask - it was chilly this morning but is a bit warmer this afternoon. Where did the summer go to?
*appears suddenly in the room, as if she'd never left*
I think the wind has blown it away!!...lol
it's alive and well over here in the USA!
*follows Jera in*
We are having cool nights, though, which is a blessing
ata and jera, hey!!
I actually used a blanket whilst stargazing last night!
Welcome back to the temporarily disappeared.
Hi Atal.....and Jera...
I'm never really gone, unless I have to restart my computer for some reason
my utterly wimpy husband wanted to put the heating on last night. I forbade it
same here...
thanks Flask :)
*hisses loudly* No heat! Not in August!! Well, unless you live in Australia...
oh you cruel woman......!!!!
I know :)
funny how we tolerate cooler temperatures in August than we would in December... *thinks about putting on a jumper*
Keep it up girl....lolol
Ye gods, sherb, your icon freaked me out... I thought the movement was an optical illusions... the I suddenly realized it really WAS moving! Yikes!!
ok i got two left and i dont want clues...i just want to know if im lookin for real word that a normal human being with half a life might recognize or are they pr7/36 words that will only succumb to onkeying...im lokkin for pu6/24 before rotten and re 6/18 before lease
pu6/24 before rotten was new to me . . .
*sighs loudly* My darling daughter made breakfast...
thnx une..monkeytime
re6/18 - normalish.
this was one of the least freaky ones...
re6/18 might be familiar to you if you're a birdwatcher . . .
Unea...your icon is hard to look at....but effective..
is that anything like Hammertime??
I concur, Flask1
off to make fresh java . . . BBL
fireworks!
pu6 ends like French flour...
wahoo grace m!!!
congrats, grace!
Huzzah for Grace!!
pu6 is a nice sciencey DNAy word
thx...took awhile...those th words were tough.
got the re6...1 to go
Thanks for the pu, sherb. The french flour did it.
clues before I go?
*looks confused regarding french flour*
couldn't think of a similar English word...
runs for my english to french dictionary
chj... I almost used that same icon...
The ending of french flour is the same as the pu6/24
is Escher today's theme?
take a big big brand of dog or cat food and change the last letter
Hey, GreyWoulf is on-line... maybe he's heading this way!!
no grace...optical illusions
ah...
Oooh, good hint, Ata, thanks!
nice French word for truth... and pl...
Keep the french words coming, sherb.
ata i have that one...need the one before rotten...am i still good to go with the french flour clue?
There are some very good icons again today
actually there's 2 words 1 letter from that petfood
Wow Ex-Wren including yours!
1 is the same as the flour clue
A clue please for EN7??
i need the last 6/24
thanks Ata :)
never mind...i have it
chj... I found the one you need, I think... change the final vowel of the pu6/24 above it into plural
thanks all for my fireworks
LOL, I always take too long to explain...
well done CHJ
Huzzah for chj!!
many congrats chj!!!!
Jera, do you have EN7??
Nope, sorry, Flask
does anyone?
yay CHJ!
thnx all
i don't either flask, but am looking. first to get it clue the rest?
CHJ a clue please for EN&
Flask - en + di4/5 then plural
en7 is en6 pl
lol...en6 then pls?
I have the en6/18 but not the en6/24...
en6 - add French word for say, and pl... sorry, can only thik of Fr words today... :)
en7 the last + a mossquito lands on you skin and b****
Flask, begin with the en* + the last r***, sans the r
Great clue, chj... thanks!

Hi, evanadine! Busy day?
not super-busy, but i have a few chores to get done!
I have that as an en6/21...
Me too, I'm making a list... to divide up with the Sprite...

Hi Evan!!

Hi Angela....like your icon!
hi Angela... interesting icon... :)
en7??
thanks Sherb :)
can't get it
and Flask
Flask - do you have the di4/5 and 5/12 combo?
flask...i tought you got en7...we just clued it
en6/21 - en plus the first two letters of Princess of Wales' name, then two letters of a beverage word. Pluralise for the en7.
not the beginning but the en*... you get rid of term****
hello everyone! bye chj...
I know....but I can't get it!!!
or7/32 please
Afternoon all Quite a big one today but not too bad.
orine
oops!
Flask - try the step by step clue I gave below.
hi stidmama :)
st**mama.....you and i and ren and p-winkle are all in the grid
Good afternoon, FMitch!
hi stidmama! :)
flask - try my clue below...
Afternoon Haz, bit late on parade today :)
hi FMitch :)
mont
duh! It's been a while!
chj, fun, isn't it? a babble convention just in the grid, LOL
Got it!!...thanks Haz!
I know - still 37 left to find! But I'll get there eventually.
along with arthur and madame cu*** and vern and claude monet and auguste rodin
You're welcome, Flask!
may i pls have a clue for the first in5/10?
Hi sherb lol Haz I mean't me.
in5/10 is motionless
hello Haz! I have really been enjoying the tales you tell on BabAnon -- you have an interesting set of experiences!
and almost forgot moe of the three stooges
I have an in5/10 which means inactive...
Ah, I see what you mean FMItch - are you done, or just beginning?
ty...fish me pls?
Done but couldn't chat as had to work this morning.
Hello stidmama - glad you enjoy the stories. We are at opposite ends of the story-telling spectrum - yours are wonderfully imaginative, mine are observations on real life.
hi FMitch!
work -- on Sunday?
haz...i think stidmama dabbles at that end of the spectrum as well, don't u stid?
Hey stidmama 'Fraid so, have to work when I can I'm still catching up on your and Haz's stories, love them.
haz, are your stories in bab anon as well?
I would, Cathy, if there were anything worth telling. I am afraid my few and minimal forays into nonfiction center around the garden and the kids.
Yes, Cathyar - under 'Animal Magic' in 'Other interests'.
or7/32 anyone
ahh... tks haz...i'll be sure to check it out! :)
*searches for or7....*
or + another word for eats
afternoon all, just finished work, how are u all.
hi oggy
why is that the plural of a four letter word?
ty FMitch
Hello oggy!
hi oggy! wonderful weather here. Sunny, but hasn't been too warm. -- oh! check out my haircut at frappr.com/stidmama...
hi oggy :)
going to check stid.
hmm..that or7 doesn't seem to work for me fmitch
and on iTunes... Do you remember the 21st night of september? Love was changing the minds of pretenders While chasing the clouds away Our hearts were ringing In the key that our souls were singing. As we danced in the night, Remember how the stars stole the night away Ba de ya - say do you remember Ba de ya - dancing in september Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
is the J used in anything today?
oops...yes it did work
zut alors ! fireworks again only 5 hours, must try harder !!
wonder why the non-plural doesn't take
yay ron congrats
well done ron... and rusty... :)
YAY roncook!
Congrats ron
? zut alors ? is that French?
congrats Ron!
The singular of or7 is ordo. I haven't the foggiest notion why.
hi ch!
oui, it is an exclamation of surprise !!
hmm...how odd
hi stidmama -- just popped in for a couple more minutes before I have to leave for church this morning. Weather here is GORGEOUSLY COOL! Finally!
yes, it was wonderful here yesterday also!
ah! thanks, roncook *looking less confused*
ta sherb he only tyoes them in !! rusty x
too cool here...means winter is around teh corner and snow *yuck shovelling*
*continues noodling FMitch's clure regarding "or + another word for eats"*
i wish i lived in southern us where it NEVER snows!
or7 - also reminscent of squashed fish in a tin.
Hi Jera - try or + d5
I loooooooove Winter... it's my favorite season.... but I love Autumn, too, cuz it means Winter is coming!
i don't know Cathy - my friends in VA get snow every year... :)
well Cathy, you know you could always move south -- we live in a lovely climate, a dusting of snow once or twice a year with a few inches that stick every three to five years.... :-P
lol Jera...u must be a skiier!?
stidmama....can i move in with you? ;)
Got it, FMitch... thanks!
And where we live (that includes our BC babblers as well) we are close to mountains and ocean...
stid hair looks nice, but what made u cut it.
Not at all Cathyar... think they'd let me try it in my wheelchair? LOL
ahhh...sounds sooo lovely.
i think they would Jera :)
Hello Babble people!
hi tingy
Greetings, tingy!
We've had thunder rolling around for the last hour but no rain, which makes a change as it has been monsooning most of the day
oh!!! jera! *opens mouth and inserts foot*
Was tired of the long hair, for one -- it was always getting caught in something... and then I know several folks having chemo, so thought I would send it off to Locks of Love for children who need wigs.
hi tingy!
my hair was that long in my thirties, but not now.
We have clear skies until the day of my Girl Scout eeting... only day this week that calls for rain...
i see people all the time that are wheelchair bound on the slopes
hi tingy
sure Jera... skis on those wheels and watch you go!!
Jera --- umm.... you know people in wheelchairs do ski, right? there are clinics around here every winter...
We are big supporters of Locks of Love, stidmama!
that was a nice thought.
Wheelchair bound... kinky! Never tried that...
*blushes*
lol jera
It's time I did something to help someone, oggy. Seems my insulated little world doesn't extend very far sometimes.
rits
I'm not into skiing at all, so no, I didn't know. Doesn't surprise me, though...
brb...need coffee
I don't ski, btw, except occasionally cross-country. My knees are not good enough to handle the jarring of downhill.
it's quite embarassing, because I've been skiing a long time and they kick my a$$
that is the first pic i have seen of u.
Let's try it in a wheelchair, stidmama! Wheeeeee!!
*finally discovers the 10 and 11 by accident...*
I'm with you, Jera! (race you to the lodge for lattes....)
My kids laugh at me cuz whever I'm going down a hill or one of those death-trap ramps in my daughter's school, I hold my hands up in the air like I'm on a roller-coaster
yippee for sherb!
ahh...that's better
have u all finished
*realizes it's too late to offer Cathy an MJCL...* sorry Cathy!
well done sherb, lovely non compund real words, very satisfying
still 46 to go oggy...
oh no oggy! I have given up on finishing these on purpose! only the small ones. I just log in to chat and pick up the odd clue (some clues odder than others)
lol...what is an MJCL?
Good morning all!!
mochajavachocolatte -- my invention. described at the babble store in BabAnon Other Interests...
hi woulf
Hi Woulf! feeling more alive this morning?
What letter does the 10 & 11 start with, or is that too big of a clue?
I am here just to find a few words before we go to off to celebrate Kristianna's birthday :)
oooh...sounds very rich stid!!!
Well Happy Sundays GW!! Good to see you
{{GreyWoulf}}
GW!! (((((((hugs)))))) :D
tu greywoulf
Jera - tu starts the biggest words.
A little bit, stid -- though the real reason is cos mamma sacrificed her sleep to let me get some
I saw you get on-line a bit ago & hoped you'd head this way
{{**Sherb, stidmama, sherb, Fmitch**}}
tu cleans up paint (to make it easier)
Happy Birthday to Woulf and Kristen (and Kristianna, of course) birthday parties are as much a celebration for us parents for surviving another year as they are for the kids.
happy birthday!!! :)
How old is she now GW?
Good stuff, that's what I was looking for...
Jera -- I took the choice out of heading here --- I made Babble my homepage :D
LOL Woulf!
grumble, grumble. have to go to family reunion today so in a hurry. cr 6/7 combo clue?
Good idea, GW... I have the page up all the time, so it seems like I'm always here... even when I'm not...
sorry hursh...i don't have that one either
Happy birthday to celebrating babblers; top of the morning to everyone else
hi hetty!
Greetings, hetty!
hi hetty!!! :)
A term used to describe a stupid person - cr6/21 and its plural.
sorry hurshy -- haven't got there yet, trying to get down to halfway before trying a list too.
Hi all.
im off out for a few hours, catch u all later.
fish! thanks haz
She is three today - and I am going to get myself into trouble with gifts soon... Xmas I gave her a tent as a present and set it up for her to find on Xmas morning And today I got her a kids patio set with pics of her fav TV show characters which I also set up for her to find :)
Good morning/afternoon hetty.
later oggy!
Awwww, how sweet... you're a good daddy, GW!
haz, am i going to feel as fishy if i get a clue for the cu7/8 combo?
Woulf, you are the doting daddy, aren't you? Go ahead and indulge while it's not that expensive! ;-)
and I was just served pancakes. back later :-)
{{**and hugs for everyone else, btw**}} (its hard to type and scan the log with seb in my lap)
Gwyd will be 5 next month & he wants a dinosaur party... again
No, less fishy altogether. A drinking vessel combined with a ceremony.
tr8 anyone?
Haz, that "cr"word was being bandied about a couple of days ago--I thought it much more insulting than "stupid" sounds
excellent, thanks :)
I don't like it cuz of the ethnic conotations...
stid --so far I have been lucky on that score -- both items were on sale for 20 dollars
wolf - are you still going to that fab resale store you found?
hi all -GW -lovely to see you -enjoy your birthday celebrations! My youngest grandson is 3 tomorrow & my sister is 46 tomorrow! Just entertained 10 for lunch so some me time is due.
{{snowyowl}}
actually these were both at regular stores -- the tent was target and the patio set at linens & things
hi snowy :) and hi ren :)
Jera! long time no see!
Jera, what don't you like??
It's been a coon's age... how have you been??
hey ya sherb!
The word cr6/21 meaning stupid person
Sorry folks, but the b-day girl wants some computer time so I have to go -- if I don't get back later {{HUGS for all}}
I'm well ty. Was very busy for most of June & have had 2 weeks hols in July! Things are thankfully slowing down for a few days now
I really dislike ethnic insults
Oh I see.......
Good to see you, GW... hugs to all!
Bye Wolf!!
cretin, cretan, different
but you'll use the word coon, Jera? isnt that worse??
In reply to hetty and Jera's criticism re the clue I gave for cr6/21 - hurshy asked for a quick clue, I gave the quickest I could think of, without consulting the dictionary to find the proper meaning. I apologise if my quick clue was seen as being insulting - it was not intended since I didn't realise the origin of the word.
How is the cr6/21 ethnic in any way?
Um, no... not seeing someone in a coon's age refers to the masked animal , not the AA term
Hi everybody......trying to sneak in a few words before I leave for the gym
oops, i used a word
hey ata :)
hi hurshy & Atalante
Oh, I wasn't trying to correct anyone for using that definition, just running my mouth that don't like it, LOL
hey hurshy :)
Hiya Muse!!!
hi muse
stir
hi flask!!
ack
hi snowyowl!
Sorry. typed in wrong box.
AA term? now I'm intrigued lol - AA as in Alcoholics Anonymous?
ty words - lol I missed that one
lotta great words today, wish i had time to do the whole thing properly
whats your icon Hurshy??
No AA as in African American (I think that's the current correct term)
ah! I didn't know that abbreviation!
what would 'properly' involve, hurshy?
I like the term person of color, but it seems to not be specific enough
left over from flag day yesterday, flask... flag of the United Federation of Planets... and torgone, if you're around, do NOT say from star wars
Haz, I meant no criticism of your clue--just in my usual bossy way trying add to its usefulness.
lol
"properly" (for me) would not include going to the list with 55 to go - i'm getting a lot of words now, from the list, that i know i could have gotten on my own
lol...
anyone have a clue for fo6?
like fe5, but with an o stuck in
*stumbles into the room*
i'm having trouble with the long or's... help anyone?
hi nut
or6 and 8, Far East
d'day
fish! thanks shmoo
Afternoon, all. Well, this is a little more challenging than yesterday's puzzle. I finished that sucker in about 20 minutes. And I didn't even have to cheat!
Hursh, I learned (learnt) a useful lesson yesterday, when my determination not to use the list a all led to the wrong kind of fireworks with Dr_God because i seemed to be a word short in the final tally. I shalll now always check my final list against lickety or bj
or + to eat = pl.
i don't get it, hetty, how could not using a list cause that problem?
+ pl....sorry!
ty flask!
ty flask!
hurshy, what's your icon
United Federation of Planets flag (leftover from yesterday), nut
last pu6 anyone? (the 6/27?)
ah, didn't see the illusion
nutty buddyyy!!!!
stinky, hurshy
RENNIE!!!
gone bad hursh - baddie smell
I was convinced, Hursh, that I had all the d's, and I was one short in fact--which I would have discovered if I'd looked at the list rather than the boxes only. Anyway, there are many ways to go, as we all know, and whatever works for you is best
HI ren and nut!! You both would also probably like Escher's Girl in Mirror
cot the co, cu & 2xin 8's, what am I missing?
hurshy, you gonna let jera call you stinky?
Ren who's the artist for your icon?
ren...i LOVE your illusion!!!
but the boxes, one shouldn't have been grey if you were missing a D
hmm, need a word fi4 , just before the burning wood word
muse - sup?
thanks for the pu folks! :)
nutty!!! it was a clue....you're the stinker!
And Im a short-sighted old fusspot.
LOL, I almost said... that's a clue, not an insult, hurshy!
Unca - fish have them
after last night, yes...i do stink
i really should shower
Nut waiting for Ren to tell me who the artist is
lol, speaking of fish, i guess i should have one
muse it's from smith kettle eye research center...
You don't see the second part until you enlarge it (ren's icon)
thanx, that one was invisible to me
nice
Uh oh here comes the rain again
thanks Ren!
no rainh here - beautiful
smith kettlewell i mean....
how do you enlarge it Jera?
got the co, cu & 2xin 8's, what am I missing?
raining here too FMitch... it's lovely...
please!!
I'm nowhere near finished lshutt , sorry
tr8... but I don't have it yet...
makes achanges doesn't it sherb
We haven't had any rain in the south-west FMitch. I was rather hoping we would have. Hi everyone by the way.
in 8/55.
hello lshult! sorry I can't help...
Hi JFB!
feels like it's washing the pollution out of the air... it's been bad the last few weeks...
you can always check lickety's list to find out what you are missing -- I won't look at it til I have 50 left or less
hey jfb
{{{hetty}}} good morning.
stidmatt...in8/55 = one who in6/27's
Late start today - wonderful anniversary service at church and a faith lunch to follow.
ah, an hour of Babble Bliss with a late cup of coffee.. greetings to all !
hi cath, stid, sherb, stidmatt and jfb and any other newcomers!
as my dog is..he has fleas...the little in8/55's
hi sweetie! didn't realize you were already babbling!
hi Aloyisius
hi Aloy :)
matt was here before too stidmama...just b4 you showed up
JFB - I think we are getting your share. Haven't had this much rain in more tha 2 months I would guess
co 7 please!
Cathy! that was the clue I needed for that in 8... thanks!
hi Aloyisius!
No rain here until Girl Scout meeting day *grumble, grumble*
my dog seems a tad lethargic today tho...i hope i didn't give him too much of the flea stuff.
co7 - explosive
th6/21 - either?
The plants here all think they've been transplanted in the Sahara!
it's a liquid u put on their fur between their shoulderblades and at the base of the tail
HALFWAY! okay, time to go outside and deadhead the dahlias... later all!
or perhaps he's depressed from having scratched so much yesterday
see u later stidmama
oohh i see my wrong assumption
add to th5/12
later stidmama
was assuming the second 5/12 was the first
silly me
hi stid and snowy, sherb et al. Cathy.. I'm still battling a flea problem. Do you have a cat? Our cats brought in the fleas and *******d the dog.
aloy...i have a little shih tsu....
Our cats go out occasionally, but no fleas yet.
how cute... I have an old Lab. He is the funniest dog in the world, I think
i bought this stuff called Sergeant's PreTect...it's a liquid medication for their skin...i hope i didn't put too much on him. he's not his usual active self today.
but at least he's not scratching as much
Hi Aloy, so you haven't won the war yet?
poor Aloy... have you tried spraying the carpets. especially the edges and corners?
stidmatt, for c07 take your co4 and add an anagram of di4
Maybe that's my secret... no carpets...
my dog even is on Sentinel for fleas and worms, but obviously that didn't keep the fleas away.
oh yuck Aloy -I did have 4 cars at one time but unfortunately all have now dies. We lots all 4 in 10 months! Horrible time. We are now lookinfg for a kitten -due to my sons marriage break up they have had to rehome their dog & the 3 littlies are grieving . I have promised to get a kitten to live here so that they will have a pet.
yes, sherb... that is what has worked best. Spray, spray... and bomb, bomb... ugh
and vacuum, vacuum..
i have bare floors too jera...except a few floor mats.
Great clue Cathyar!
that is the di4 that refers to what you are on when you are trying to slenderize, stidmatt
tks matt
Hardwoods work better with a wheelchair...
terrible spelling ! sorry!
sings *my dog has fleas...under his knees...right where he pees*!!!!
yw stidmatt--I think the thanks for the clue was for me, not cath
*thinks Cathyar is silly* LOL!
wow, snowy... you have been through some tuff times... a kitten will be a joyful addition to your household..
oops...sorry. i thought he meant the flea in8/55
Now off to church. See you all later, TTFN
no fools no fun jera! ;)
now that I am all itchy, I'm going to dive in to the grid for a bit..
bye hetty
Bye, hetty, cya later!
cu l8r hetty!
so nobody has the tr8? i've heard people asking but haven't seen an answer... it's my last one.
Bye hetty
My cat Zackie is about to turn 14... when he dies I suppose we'll get a new kitten...
co 7 please!
i don't either hurshy
bye hetty!
I'm quite glad of the excuse for a new cat Aloy! When the grandchildren were babies I put off having another pet but am missing one now. I had been trying to persuade my husband for some months - of course now it is for the children, he has capitulated1
tr8 3 prefix + go in a door, but switch the last letter.
not raining here!!
co7 = co4/6 + di4/5... but only use the d once
snowy, just read your post. When my son and his wife divorced, she wanted each to take one of their cats. He held firm that they would not separate the kitties so he moved back home with his 2 cats, who drove one of our two cats crazy. Lots of competition among the 4. But I'd do it all again to help him out. Luckily, marriage was short and no kids. He's remarried to a wonderful wife and they have a 2 and 4 year old now AND the same 2 cats from the first marriage!
ty hurshy!
ty hurshy...now what does it mean?
thanks hursh... seems to be Spanish or Italian... engraving?
ty jera
oh like i know what things mean
gotta go now folks, thanks for help. when in a hurry, you guys and the list are always so clutch :)
cr 6 please!
You're welcome!
Later, hurshy
bye hurshy!
Well I'm hopoing the divorce will be more amicable than the marriage! They are doing quite well at the moment & of course it will be difficult -the only good thing is that my son is away for 6 days at a time with his job at present so the littlies are quite used to living with one parent at a time so to speak.
you never know....... I just fine I remember them better if I know where they come from.... and thought you might. ..... thanks for the clue though
oops
enjoy the family reunion hurshy :)
ooooooooohhhh family reunion! those are fun!
cr6 = c + light sensitive part of the eye r****a
bye hurshy
Love you icon, snowy. I used to have the most wonderful chunky little book of optical illusions when I taught middle school. Then, one of the little buggers stole it! I never could find a replacement.
I know I'm gonna feel stupid, but ac5 help please?
ac5 = bitter
Jera - smoke gets in your eyes?
Thanks, sherb! *smacks self with fish*
the only one I have so far Jera is the foul smeller
is your icon an optical illusion, snowy?
Its just one I found in google images Munner. I'm not very good at seeing optical illusions but I can see this one!
Yes Atalante it is
Atalante, look carefully: Is it a beautiful woman or an old crone?
Hi FMitch.. do you know if traffic is moving at Heathrow? My daughter was caught in the mess there.. last I heard, she was in a hotel, waiting..
love your icon Atlante!
it's a good one snowy...i've seen it before!
My daughter calls that one "Witch" because she looks ugly at first glance, but there is beauty f you look deeper...
I know I should be able to see an old woman but I just can't! I can never see optical illusions!
Hey Aloy it is better than it was on Thursday but still many many flights being cancelled or delayed - is she waiting to fly back to the US?
The neck ribbon on the beauty is the crones mouth Atalante
ty FMitch.. no, she is taking a detour to visit a friend in the Netherlands..
oh! yes ... I kinda see that now!
Atalante, look at the necklace of the beautiful woman. It becomes the old crone's mouth. The dainty ear becomes the old crone's eye.
cr 5 please!
Aloy - let me know if you want any further info at a local level.
Atalante, you've made me feel better! I couldn't see it either.
one who sheds tears stidmatt
Hi Atalante I read you had a good holiday, welcome back.
ok, FMitch.. I appreciate that.
Thanks museisme!
hi FM!
woah...matt...i like your icon also... they're spinning!!! :)

Hey everybody! I was just gonna lurk for a while but I saw an illusion similar to mine so I had to post.

lol smith!...no i live in and old house and like a room to myself!
Cool!
I'd like a room to myself, but alas, it is not to be.
wouldn't that be nice I cant even go to the bathroom w/o someone coming in!
Theoretically, I should have my bedroom to myself for two weeks every two weeks while hubby is gone working, but I usually end up with at least one child in the bed with me if not more.
oh man you have the life hubby gone for 2 weeks yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss s
oh! I know that feeling shorty! It's amazing how many people need you when you're enthroned! I put a lock on our bathroom door the day after I sat in the bath with my husband talking to me whilst sitting on the loo, my daughter brushing her teeth & my son bringing his homework in for checking!
Every two weeks. Sometimes it is kind of nice. He does a lot of the cooking though, so that part isn't nice.
lol shorty!
LOL snowy
oh snowly!!!!
smith...b u r g e r k i n g
When mine were little, I'd lock myself in the bathroom and they would stand there and knock on the door. Opie doh, Mommy Opie doh.
pizza,KFC,etc.etc.etc.
We do a lot of pizza when he's gone.
I lock the door all the time now - even if I'm the only one here! The littlies also sit outside the door talking to me! A la Garbo - I WANT TO BE ALONE!!!!!
you got it shorty!

help with the 2nd pu 6/24, plz? Just not seeing the p words today . . .
all the way to 62 - i think i'll go hang out at walmart for a while
Thin pet food, but dfferent vowel ending
24 doesnt look old enough for LL
I avoid Wal-Mart whenever possible.
jera - cutting my fingernails is an excuse i use to get out of things i REALLY don't want to do.
lose the vowel ending of the first pu, jen.. then pl
the only pu6/24 i have is the one that is like french flour
i did that yesterday nut and at the mall, went to macy's and touched a lot of clothes
(first pu 6.24, i.e.)
I've always been a nail biter... don't know what to do when they get too long... even worked in the garden yesterday, no nail polish... not a chip broken!
ty aloy...worked for me too
ty, jera, but that's the first one - the one I'm looking for is after the plural for the word you clued . . .
nut doesn;t do walmart...she's making jest at me
doncha love it - except i avoid all normal priced clothing and bob and weave through the clearance racks like its my profession.
Oh, sorry, Jen... what Aloy said...
put an e on the end of the pu5/14
no ren, i really am doing walmart - gotta get the oil changed in my car!
or an s on the end works for the second
and then i'm going to walk across the lot to panera and peruse pier one rather than actually shop in walmart.
oh..ok...may i go w/ you? we can get a kiddie basket and push each other
go with the extra virgin 5w-20
ahh, ty aloyisius! and cathyar and jera :)

i stopped by a tattoo place yesterday and the guy said if i tell him what the play wants he'll help!
In memory of Dexter Dot-to-Dot, the Best Dog Ever. We lost him yesterday at age 13 years, 7 months and 10 days.
Ren, you are in the grid yet again, as i'm sure you've noticed.
oh sorry to hear that susan!
Oh, susan, I'm so sorry. That is so hard.
i'm so sorry susan -
yes krista - i can run away however i can never hide!
oh I'm sorry Susan :(:(:(
Was it unexpected, Susan?
It is hard. He belonged to my daughter who is 25, and she has had him more than half her life.
ren, stid and chj are all in grid today
He was very sick the past few months. Anemic, arthritic, incontinent....
and pe**winkle
Oh yes, so they are!
susan...i am really sorry
that is very cool, Ren! sorry about your doggie, Susan...
and my last name is in the grid also
But thank you for the condolences. We have amazing memories and photos.... We were honored to have him...
susan :-(

chic...i wnt some please....
Krista, my oldest son and his wife and 2 babies live in Jerusalem. They are okay. My son did travel north (he's a journalist) and saw rockets falling, tanks firing.
ren had cheetos and guacamole yesterday
hey oyl, whats the count
i have peanuts in shells today
I'm glad to hear that, Susan.
il i in 0
il 2
ooooh, stuffed shells yummie
no, your count silly ne4/4
peanuts in shells
I just made a yummy black olive and tomato omelet then realized we had no cheese. Still tasted ok though.
oh....60 remaining
Thought you were counting your peanuts at first. ;)
hahaha krista...i guess i could
I bought eggs last week to make omelets, and then realized I had no stove
goobers
hahaha nrkii!!!
this morning someone joked around about hitting a brick wall around 120ish.. how true.
lol nrkii
wishful thining nrk?
I have 2 left to go...
(ren, I wasn't kidding, sadly)
ROFL! That's pretty bad, nrk.
well, I HAVE a stove, but my TV set is on top of it
yay - zimmermans dopey
oh...poor nrkii (((huggies)))
Hey, I understand. I keep putting off buying a new oven, and keep buying frozen pizzas because i forget. I have actually FRIED a frozen pizza!
hi again. nrkii, I know what you mean! I've done the same thing before, except with a turkey. I had forgotten my stove and oven were broken.
did you egg the neighbors house then?
that's okay, my futon frame is making a very nice footrest in my living room right now...
ch1212, yep I do that too
lol krista - how did it taste?
I had the choice of a new oven, or a trip to NYC in May, and chose the trip. Now I'm frying frozen pizzas.
if it doesn;t have "drive th 4/6"on the label i don't eat
thanks, ren -- I was missing that one!
Well, it wasn't too bad. I alternated microwaving it for the cooking, and frying it for the browning, Debb!
haha.
krista, there are decent frozen pizzas for microwave now... I recommend them!
i have pots and pans in my oven - havent used it in 7 years - but i have a toaster oven and mircrowave (and stovetop) .....servest the purpose
also, as you know, the ever-faithful marie callendars chicken pot pie
I have a convection/microwave, but I haven't figured out how to use the convection part yet
why are there peas in my chicken pot pie?
i'm thinking the mets need - say 4-5 insurance runs to make me feel safe
i have only a microwave
what exactly is the convection part?
i never feel safe, no matter how many insurance runs or goal my team scores
LOL ren -- I agree!
debb, works like an oven
but faster
otherwise it would be chicken ot ies
fireworks at last
Yes, I'll have to remember that, nrkii, and not buy the oven kind. Oh, convection ovens are nice.Ch1212..what did u do with your turkey??
ROFL chj!! That's great!
did i tell you that already chj?
congrats nrkii!!
I wound up giving the turkey to my next door neighbors, who had 2 small kids and a limited income. So that felt good. Then I went out to a friend's house for Thanksgiving :)
tell me what?
i've got to get a new routi**
oh ren, did chj just steal your punch line?
Yay nrkii!!
yay nrkster
your old ones fine
congrats also nrkii !
yes he did nrkii!!!
sorry to step on your line...i didnt know
thank dr. god....all my t's are greyed
hurray nrkii!
Congrats, nrkii. I have 155 to go, and lots of housecleaning too.
im mean sorry to st** on your line
love your icon, cathyar -- that's great!
thanks again, chj -- needed that one too
hahaha it's ok! you're in good company mamabear did the same thing!
ty ch
okay anyone need any clues?
ren..iy was like hitting a hanging curve ball
ya have ta go for it!
es 5?
scrabbler like a woman's name
es*h**
es 5 = like a woman's name in the Bible without the h
polyes***
also has something to do with Vitamin C
Yes, duh.
oooh, great clue chj
or the pirates bane..a nor"wes***
insurance yay
ok, can't stand the methodical approach..back to willy-nilly word finding. How do you find your words, people?
krista, what was your methodical approach?
oh, I mean do all the c's, then all the u's, etc.
Krista, I get about 60-70% just hunting, then I resort to the list, trolling back for clues, asking for hints, praying :D
krista, sometimes i work down from a-z, other times i try and black out letters in the lower grid
today was an a-z day!
I usually get 60-80% hunting, but I try to be sure I check every letter... then I check the tile stats to see where I've done particularly bad and fill in those ... then come to chat for help ... then go to list
seano your icon is soooo amazing and kind of creepy! Mine has some similarities in the creepy part.
Hi everyone, I have just signed in to have a look and see if I could get any more words, I don't seem to be able to, but I am up to 155, so that's pretty good, huh?
depends on which letter i dislike for the day
izzy, yes that is good
great, izzy!
very good izzy -
I am about the same, ch. Seano, that's interesting! We could make a pattern in the tile stats
Thanks everyone!!
en, second column--I can't find it, Probably another "duh" word
not a duh word at all
en + when you try to lose weight, switch order of last two letters... then plural also
krista...i get as many as i can ..just me and the grid...usually about 2/3's of the list...then i input what i have in licketys list and go through it alphabetically...it helps to know what word comes before and after the word you need and the point total....you can then eliminate certain letters
fi5.18 the 1st one clue pls
TY!
if some boxes only need 2 or 3, i hunt for them first as a little morale booster
can someboy clue the v6 & 7 please? (Hi all!)
bay of Fi***
I don't enter them in lickety's list, I just have lickety's list open side by side with the grid -- hate typing the words in twice
ve + sounds like opp of left
I have an fi 5/18 that means cruel person
Yes, I wish we could import to the list somehow.
hello jilli
thanks for commenting on my icon ch12, i found a whole site of street art i didnt know which one to pick to be honest
I do the morale booster, thing, too. :)
Thanks, ch
krista, me too
TY ch1212
nrkii...but if you dont enter them, you cant always know where in the order the words you already have fit...then you might as well just print out babanons list which i used to do
thanks nrkii - I had almost monkeyed that but wanted it to end with the sometime vowel!
chj, I just compare the word list on babble to the list on lickety
I always can tell where in order my missing word will fit
i like that black stuff those guys wear under their eyes
hi - i'm back
chj, or is there something I'm missing?
hi ping!
lo ping
'afternoon, Ping
hey nrkii! - haven't seen you in a spell!
hi krista and ch
hi ping
hey ya ping beauty day out!
Ping, I didn't play Friday because I spent the day in NY with my brother and 2 kids from his baseball team
i understand but if say you have all the st's execept 3 and the last 3 are st 4/5, st 5/7 and st 4/5 you wont know whether that last st4/5 you have is the 3rd to last word or the last....it can be a big help to know
and then yesterday's was so quick, I was only on for about 30 minutes
hi ping
afternoon all
hi onyx
hey onyx
the next word I can't monkey is on5.10 pls
oh, chj, I guess that's true, esp when you have ch 4/6, ch 4/6, ch 4/6 and you don't know where the missing one will go... but it hardly seems worth it to do all that typing for that rare circumstance
hi onyx
hi onyx
hey ren - been working in the garden - hot but gorgeous
nrkii - are you close to NYC?
lynxxx, the beginning of something is the on***
hi onyx
i gott go to do the gardening, i'm procrastinating
hola onix
TY nrkii
Ping, I'm 70 miles away -- used to be much closer... sigh
i lived there before here (houston)
hola izzy, habla espanol?
where were you in NY?
lots of ex-NYers - me too, long ago
first park slope, later chelsea
the double typing is only annoying at the beginning when you have a flood of words. so to battle that, i do one letter at a time by the grid at the bottom.. that way after im confident ive found all i could, i go to lickety and type in all the c's or all the t's.. whatever i've just spent a little time on
long ago for me too, jilli
me too, ex, ny er
i dont type every word but look at each two letter combo and see if i need that extra info...so i only wind up typing a select few words
then its not so bad later on when im only typing every few minutes late in the game
the first ni5/10 please?
I am not spanish, just felt like saying something different for a change... lol :D
scv, that sounds like a good scheme
ah, I see... yeah, I guess that might help, but not sure I'd think to take the time to do that...
or work in the window with lickety and come to babble only when you've got words to enter
where are you now, onyx?
lord knows i'm an ex nyer
Interesting, guys..I've wanted to ask that for a long time (how you go about solving the grid). Thanks for the replies.
trying to work out a system. theres probably a much easier way
i'm interested in that too, krista
cathy, when you stay up till dawn writing a paper, it's an all-ni*** (spelling variant)
i beg krista
begging works too
one day fran forgot to switch from chat to grid and she typed in i think a new word each second - nrkii is probably like that - i am very pokey though
Liz, are you on now??
ahhh...ty nrkii and i'll take that fish again
one thing krista, for some reason I like starting with no clues and no tile stats, so I close up my window a bit so I can only see the grid and the word list...
off to work. be able to finish tonight hopefully
You'll have to read back over the replies, Ping.
the tile stats sometimes hang me up, because I focus too much on them
i like to wait as long as possible before referring to the list
hi annie!
and nrkii's a speed demon with sharp eyes
hi Ping!
I try to get 2/3 to 3/4 done without looking at tile stats
LOL jilli, until the end, when I stall badly
feather is the speed demon at the end
yeah, I used to close the chat at first, but now I'm too nosy. I just ignore the clues at first.
then i beg w/ a whine
for the love of god chj
then ren begs, whines, and offers bribes :)
nrkii, how often do you use the list?
its always exciting
I'm slow, watch chat, use all possible help, and enjoy it all
And after that, Ren...?
lol - one way of looking at it
you've got it nrkii! it's an art form!
ok...can't get the ne4/7...pls help?
Ping, I use the list on about 95% of grids
LOL Krista
but I try not to use it till I have less than 20% to go
am i an idiot if i don't know what "the list" is?
mets win the mmmmmmmeeeets win
carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlos!
but my REAL rule is, as soon as I get aggravated searching helplessly for words, I go to the list
YAY METS!
scampyfan - Lickety's Babble Clues -- scroll down to Friends of Babble - very helpful
scampy, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there are links to the lists each day
cathy, ne + ** I were a Rich Man...
whew!
thanks!
omg...what is that!!! thanks nrkii again
babanon, lickety, and angelsong all have a list of the days words, giving only first 2 letters and the count
ump told the batter to tie his shoe...
need help with V words ve4/8 and ve6/30 please
when you get stuck, you can open the list and use that to finish the grid
ve 4/8 = selll
ve 6 = seller
scampy, see how peri just asked for ve 4/8 - she knows there is a ve 4/8 from the list
thanks nrkii, just found it before I saw your clue
to sellis to ve**
:)
i thought i was just slower than everyone else
thanks nrkii got both
i need to get me a speed typist
no, scampy, that slow one was me :)
shouldn't that be pe4/5winkle today?? ;-)
hey seano
oh, yes, just thought of something else i do..when I first start to get stuck, I go back over what I have and look for endings (plurals, past tenses, etc.) before I go to the list
seano, you're right, I should have said pe**
unlike some, i enjoy using the list because it involves a certain amount of logic intead of just pure monkeying
krista, sometimes I do that, but mostly, as soon as I discover the ending, I go back right away, then work to remember the ending on all the other words
i agree chj, i like it when you work out what a word should be by tile values alone...very satisfying when a word you've never heard of turns green!
hey, who are you calling a pure monkey?
ve6/27 and ve7/40 please
i turn my head sideways to see if the grid looks any different
everytime pe4/5winkle posts she says a word
chj, but to your point, I think pure monkeying is right about when I get aggravated, so that's when I do use the list :)
ren, does it?
and then spin the screen around and around, right ren?
they should have babble 3-d.....a 5x5x5 grid
pe**, ve + opp of left
then i turn it the other way to see if there are more words.... and then it turn the notebook **side down...
ve6 = ve+ri4/4 and plural it for the 7 pe4/5
ren, do you shake it to see if any extra letters will fall out?
thanks nrkii
only when desperation sets in nrkii
and Cathyar too
no..she shakes to when she's lookin for laundry money
or cheetos money
ri6.27 pls
LOL!
I'm having trouble with in6/21
hahahahahaha
I've been curthin because I can't monkey cu7 & 8 and it thayth curthin ithn't in the dicthionary
ren...close your eyes
ren, please explain cheetos...?
yanks are losing 5-1 two outs in the ninth
When I print the grid, and it's much smaller, I find words much more quickly. Less area for the eye to scan? I dunno.
last one folks, pr 7/32...i saw it clued earlier, it seems it is similar to the 7 before it...??
ri 6/27 is most ri 4/7
in 6/21 = inner part of middle of foot
thanks again nrkii
cu 7 = what you drink coffee from + ritual
pr 7 32 = before + exam
thankth, nrk
both ve5/18 please
LOL, Jilli! If curthin worked, I'd be #1 here.
nrkii.... cheetos are quick and easy to prepare..i love cheetos! i can get them at any store and most drive th 4/6's
thank you very much nrkii
ren, ah... so cheetos are your dinner of champions?
thanks nrkii...FIREWORKS!!
ve 5 18 = snake poison
wtg seano!!!!
yay seano!!!
congrats seano
Seano...seano...whoo hooo
ve 5 18 = ve 4/7 + vowel
congrats seano !
yes nrkii....no one can be blue w/ cheetos!!!
you guys.......
YAY seano!!!
and in a pinch you can just rub your cheeks after eating them instead of using makeup
We won't ask how you know that, chj. :)
there you go chj! and use it for flavored lip gloss...or matte
pe** did you find the two ve 5 words yet?
my last clue was bad, so let me know if you want another
i use them to paint my face for met games...the mets colors are orange and blue
nrkii - nope
you can also paint watercolor pictures with your fingers after you eat cheetos
Whew, ok, I'll buy that.
well...gotta run...12 left but my son has baseball practice tonite
bye for now all
pe**, the first ve 5 18 is snake poison
later cath!

Have a great evening, Cathy!

mymuseisme thank you i have being trying that but will keep going...hi ping
rehint should be a word. we all do it.
huh, inge
not me chj - my ride is a rav
mo, 2 of them have to do with astrology 120 degrees apart or a group of 3
jilli - cu6 sounds like a religious man, but change the second vowel...
rav 4
oh right...i knew that
?
aw, i miss my RAV. had it for 5 years. the new ones are even nicer.
cu 7 i s cu 4/5 plus crossed letter and then plural
others are " more " and "most" hackneyed

sherb, I have that cu6/24 - it's the last one I need
don't cha love 'em deb! they can go anywhere!

What color are your RAV's (the most important part)? MIne was silver. I guess that was sooo 5 years ago.
i really do - was driving a 12 year old corolla - mine is dark blue
everglade green
my civic is galapogos green
that is the last one jilli... the clue works for both in different ways...
lol chj
thanks, inge! and sherb
im serious
tr8/40 = 3 prefix + go in ****r, add plural
Munner, I have one cu5/14 that I can't make into plural,
just sounded funny
Munner, How are you feeling today?
flew down to roanoke va day after christmas to drive it home
Nice. My husband works from home now, so I drive his calf-*** green Taurus SE. >:( He switched the letters around and made it ARSE, though. :)
chj Never heard them called vanity plates before. Over here they are just personalised nuumber plates.
Do you have the plural for the first 5/14?
Just found the right cu5 and then the cu7, thanks Munner
thers are " more " and "most" hackneyed are the tr6/18 and tr7/28
Feeling quite well, thanks. Each day a little better in this cycle.
do they have letters though frances?
Glad to hear that, Munner
good afternoon!
So embarrassed, this former teacher almost asked for a clue for the pr 7/32!
good munner - you're in my thoughts!
I'm happy to hear that, Munner. Muse, that mural is something else. I will check out that site.
hi stidg
hello gmere!
i see you are wearing the family coat of arms?
hi stigmere -- we've got the whole family here today I see! :)
Hi Ping and Deb
Usually a combination of letters and numbers very cleverly placed to form words. Quite often with the addition of a same coloured stud to change a letter from one to another.
Hi G'mere. How goes?
Well, I need to start the grid but probably will start the grill before that! Also have figs to prepare in a clever jam.
what was that, frances?
ummmm figs....
Oh ho, riemann. That clan is at my house. Stidmatt has mowed our lawns and now is playing chess with StidGrant. Stidmere cut her hair quite short--actually Stidtom did it for her. He missed his calling. Also, heard you got some blueberry jam. From raspberries?
A stud placed, for example, between two number ones gives it the appearance of an H
Okay I give up, pe4/6 please
ok, why isn't re+in 6/27 a word?
I did get some VERY funny-tasting blueberry jam. Tasted a lot like raspberries and didn't give me food poisoning.
stid g - we got to see pictures of the haircut last night
p + the *** (story)
If something is in your in tray waiting for attention you could say that it was pe--ing
Ping you are ahead of me. Faster than a speeding babbler. . .
Will I kick myself if I ask for a hint for the first fi 5?
thanks got the pe6
she gave us the link after the story
it's a fi***ishly clever clue
meant pe4/6
munner think dog
oops no that's fi4/8
The story, too? I was watching something on tv that I can
ren...LLWS on ESPN Bad News Bears on TCM
evening all
not even remember. That enter button got in my way last entry.

Thanks deb

oggy - who is in your icon?
That's tough! Good for you! I don't know if you saw my post about your mural, but I am looking at that man's site now..amazing!

Yes, that is an amazing icon, isn't it? the things they can do with eyeballs :-)

hi Jen
Hello Jen34
mymus - i was just checking you out - have you ever read 'godel, escher, bach' ?
hi jen
hi Jen!
how's everyone today?
I have, I had a recurring dream when I read the part about the incompleteness theorem, but not a recursive dream...
Hello All...hope everyone's having a great day. Just beginning but it looks promising.
No I haven't Helen
Escher is one of my favorite artists tho
fine Jen, how are you?
stid - she is resting, went to vet this morning, had bandage changed, a little less skitty, but still wants to be alone - thanks for asking
hello Odin -- not a bad grid, just big, it seems (but I am only halfway...)
hi Odin
on the homestretch, 37 to go
peachy -- enjoying a quiet day before the kids come back to school tomorrow
will keep sending healing her way (and yours)
lol douglas - yes - that book can be harmful if you have a rigid brain - i know i hurt myself reading it :)
It does look interesting...fairly new to the whole Balle thing but I am improving thanks to all the tips and hints from you pros!
go PappouTed go! (what does Pappou mean?)
Hi PT!
stidmama, pappou means grandpa in greek. My dad passed away last month so I picked a name to honor him.
Under 200 words to go...woo-hoo!
ty stid - much appreciated
oh, his first name was Ted
I am so sorry about your father -- this is a nice tribute! (what is your name, or how do you want to be called?)
aw pap - that's very sweet of you :)
I'm Penny, but that was taken when I first signed on
yippee Douglas! *starts looking more urgently...* (Douglas is going to be ahead of me in no time.)
Penny -- that is such a nice name. Is it short for Penelope (since you have the Greek?)
actually it's short for Pantelia (which is really greek) it's a name you find on our island of Kalymnos.
okay, monkeys seem to be on strike... CR 6 please?
love the name Pantelia -- how pretty
oooh! another place I have not heard of *dashes off to look at map*
stid, slang for an idiot, or cr + vowel + metal
cr6 is insult for slow, unintelligent person
stid....a fool!!...not you that is the clue!
thanks, my sister got the normal name, she's Maria, LOL
oh, and the capital of Kalymnos is Pothia, and there are sponge divers there and everything! It sounds just lovely, Penny!
I laugh that cr6 is in the puzzle, because here in St. Paul, that is the name of a well-traveled street, because one of the first bishops of St. Paul has that name, and there is a high-school named ******-Derham Hall, where Joe Mauer went to school.
thanks muse and Jen and mo (and the word does seem to resemble me today...) LOL
*sings* I just met a girl named Maria . . .
I was looking at the wrong CR starting point...
stidmama, it really is beautiful, my sister and her family went for 3 weeks last month and my nephew fell in love with it. I haven't been there since 1983
Don't forget that there might be more than one slow, unintelligent person lurking in the grid...
Thanks all
So how cume, if Kalymnos is so much bigger, I hadn't heard of it, but have heard of Patmos?
hmm type in a word, says I've already en5ed it, but it doesn't show, anyone else have that happen?
forgive the typos, please, I am only barely functional this afternoon.
Because Patmos is in the Bible, and Kalymnos isn't...
try refresh, muse, sometimes that sorts things out...
ah. Yes, that explains it. thanks, Douglas!
Nothing against Kalymnos, you already know it's a wonderful place...
thx stid that worked, bbl dinner ready
any clues anyone before i go?
later, muse!
yes please, the CU 6/24 after marie?
LOL, not to worry, douglas
Hi. Mo, some clues on the m please. I only have mo7/32. Just cannot see any other.
cu+religous ceremony.
And don't forget to pluralize...
Biltong, what sort of dog is that, please? it's nose has such an interesting bend to it!
thanks, oggy!
and douglas...
done with C words.... on to DI :-)
cu6..cu+opp of wrong...sounds like
mo 4/5 : the first four letters of the 7
He is a mini daschound.
mo 5/12 : mo*** carlo, and plural
mo5... carlo then plural
I'm just past halfway to halfway...woot!

Yikes, 2 left... I need a hand with the 2 ve5/18's, please?
missing an ar4/5 - have very hot and dry

Congratulations to Jera!

mo5/14 anyone
Yea Jera!!
It's a totally major word, dude... (peri)
It's a babblet, peri, as in the Count of ***** Cristo
ok, 8 C's and I'm done!
Oops, that's a 5/12
I don't have the mo 5/14
pretty close in your clue tho Doug
mo5/14 rhymes with an apartment that you buy...
***** Bondage by The Tubes
mo 5/14 economics
mo5/14 means enormous
I thoght mo7 meant enormous
the one that rhymes with a bought apartment means enormous
oops! I was thinking of mo 5/12 sorry
thanks finally figured out the mo5/14
I've been tied up so long There's no escape I've been strangled All choked up inside Swallowed all my pride Roped and hogtied Been tied up in knots That's all I got Gimme glove shoes This ain't no way for havin' fun I could run away to Spain But I'd just get tied again I could run off to Jamaica If this bondage I could breaka I could run away to Spain But I'd just get tied again I could run off to Jamaica If this bondage I could breaka

hi - back after lunch - can anyone help with the en6/18?
so sorry - stupid thing
I don't have it either, jillibus
jili - everything, all of it
if something is worth saying, it's gotta be worth repeating! ROFL!
thanks stid - i should repeat more then?
thanks, wolvie, and a fish for me
evanout - yes - if it's a word
jilli everything
everything you have to say, nut, is so worthwhile! :-)
en 6/18 - another word for whole
done with D words, on to E...
jili - we don't want to talk about how many fish I have accumulated or earned. ;-)
stid, you could give me a fat head.
got it, gang - thanks!
done with E words...
he he, now it tells me less than a minute left on the puzzle.
*not saying what I am thinking about nut's last comment...*
don't let it stop ya stid, doesn't stop anyone else
*I will be a lady, I will be a lady, I will be a lady....*
oh - heck!
i am drinking the most vile thing ever in whole span of history.
ok, evan, I will bite
thanks wolvie - it's juiced vegetables
evanonut I'm trying to work out if you are Eva no nut or that well known Irish person Evan O'Nut
as in the dark leafy variety
well - there are many more vile things out there, but then, I like veggies. :-)
frances, i am a nutty fan of janet evanovich
wooo, I am hypnotising you. Give me all your money. wooooooo!
lol babbler
ahhhh - a Stephanie gal. Ranger or Joe, eh?
wolvie, did you ever juice collards, lettuce, kale, asparagus etc...and drink it?
meheheheh } )
LOL Babbler! *hands over empty wallet, purse with candy wrappers and bank statement with negative balance...*
RANGER
me - I am ranger, all the way.
rofl stid
Nut, WHY are drinking this thing that is more vile than rum?
nooo - but ranger would. ;-0
Life is too short to drink vile things...
no taa, stid, if it's all the same. ; )
stid - i'm unhealthy!
Yeah, Evan - you know the score. Smart grrrl. ;-)
Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well.... (how many others have said that today??)
we knew THAT, nut! but why are you suddenly drinking this vile thing?
man - if I keep doing this chat, I will never finish my grid. What to do...
wolvie, i'm inducting you into my club
No one who prefers Ranger is unhealthy - just to let you know
uh oh - and the dues are?
Bye, everyone. Happy babbling!
i'm gonna have to go on blood pressure medicine - so i'm making a few adjustments. this particular adjustment i am titling punishment.
what veg have you got in there, Nut?
bye Biltong...
ahhh. sorry to hear about the meds, evan
I'm down to my last 2 and I'm stumped. Does anyone have a clue for the first cu7?
you have to select your role in the movie wolvie
Time heals all wounds and wounds all heels...but what about the ******?
bye, Biltong
oh please - Stephanie, of course. As long as there is a real Ranger. ;-)
well wolvie, i haven't actually gone back to the dr.,
fraid smaller and renny are up for the part, ren is also up for grandma mazur, and my first choice for me is lula
Well, however it works out, just keep the hormones churning with ranger and it has to be better. ;-)
how about connie?
Connie? I have no mustache!
Hellooo!
Trust me, I am Steph.
chixie!
hi chic!
Nevermind, found them, fireworks for me! Finally
hi chic : )
Lula, eh. Next icon should be spandex. ;-0
YAY Penny!
congratulations, PappouTed!
hi chic
guess i'll have to let you into the ring
I even have the big curly hair.
The kind that looks like a shocked myself on humid days..
I - not a - I
thanks, but now that means I have to work on my lesson plans for tomorrow. LOL, there are priorities in life and finishing the grid comes before work
at least you have your priorities straight, Penny! see you soon (I hope)
Pappou - a bucs fan, eh? Good for you
another Stephanie fan, I see! Hi Babbler, Nutty, Wolvie and Stid!
Thou shalt not take the LORD's name in ****
*wanders off to squeeze into leopart print spandex pants and undersized hot pint spandex top*
chic - I would kill to have a dinner at Steph's house - the first few were the best
Yes, wolvie, I live in Tampa Bat
Bay
Nut what happened to your IM?
I know the bay, but not the bat. ;-0
Poop - you beat me
i dunno chix, i keep falling off my chair
LOL
I thought '12 Sharp" was a good comeback...
ON 5/10 please?
being wolvie, as in short for wolverine, you can imagine that I like Brian
See you all later
Stid - another start, beginning
Hi everybody! Can anyone offer a clue for the first mo 5/12 (the one before 4/5)?
Bye Pappou!
12 was the absolute best yet
thanks, Wolvie!
hi drum
I'm so glad that ****** is a word...it's been a phantom word for me the past few days... A pestering sister's a ******ing blister, You'd best to resist her, say I!
only improvement would be if she and ranger had hooked up again.
Evan, I have to admit, I have not read that yet. I was afraid she was going to marry steph off to Joe
Stid, on5/10 is a way we describe the beginning of something--"on" plus game, *** and match
wolvie, i think that is coming, after all she told him, ...never mind.
thanks hetty!
didn't know you were on.
okay Doug - can you at least give me the starting letter for your phantom?
okay, need to inspect progress on a room... then a nap for me. later all!
bye stid - and nuts, Evan - now i don't want to read it.
It's an fe6/27
Too late again. Never mind. aybve someone can help me--I have just 2 words left to find and they are the last tr6 and tr7
hullo...back from baseball
bye stid! - hi hetty
cu l8r stidmama
Alas, I don't have them either, hetty
wh? she's not married yet!!!
I just came back, Stid, from singing with my harp today for the old folks.
Hi Jill! Glad to say I
hetty - the last tr's I have are compartive of the last 5/10 - small, shall we say, and the most of that
tr 6 7 are additions to the tr5 meaning more and plural
hetty - do you have the tr5/10 which is stale? the other two are more so and most so.
ve made my peace with the good doctr.
Evan - I don't trust that Steph will end up with Ranger, who really has been more supportive of her. I will read it, just get depressed, for the moment.
Good, Hetty - and that word is here today as you know!
I have 7 left and I think I have lost the will to live I am retiring with a good book - or as Rod McKuen said - a man thats read one
No, Wolvie, read it; there is a great laugh out moment in there.....
Gee, I can't see anything meaning "stale"; just several strange terms that remind me of boats (quinquireme of Nineveh etc)
okay - I am missing some Tr's - off to work
Bye, Deeha - have a good read
no you won't, because she spends a LOT of time with ranger this go round.
Okay, chic - I will.:-)
I should have said "hackneyed". Hetty, but didn't want you to confuse it with a horse
I really must work on this grid - but the chat is fun
Not stale as in two-day old bread, stale as in overused phrase, like "thinking outside the box"
Ah - then I don't need to seek more TR's - I hope. I think i will have to consult lickety soon
thanks, Douglas, for the redemption - lol
Oh I ee. I'm a hansom hackney O'K.
I'd better buckle down - 78 to go on this lovely day when I should be out in the sunshine...
I'll help, jilli, just finished thgans to you and Doufg (kisses Doug)
Help, please, with the fo6/30?
Hey, no kisses for me?
fo6/30 is an alternative spelling for fe5/18--you know how thw classic languages like diphthongs
Thanks and congrats, hetty, that was a most pleasant smooch!
and kissesan dhugs galore, jilli
Have yoiu goit the nasty-smelling fo Jill?
Things that fe**** smell fe*** or fo****---take your pick
In the musical 1776, John Adams sang about foul, *****, fumy, foggy, filthy Philadelphiaaaaa!
Yes, thanks, got all the f words now - was working on the wrong fe5/18
any clued for fi5/18 after the dog
have gone all round that one, obviously missing something!
Meaningless protest filed for dram not being in the dictionary...
your buddy is a fr****, flosey
I'll drink to that, Daouglas
can anyone tell me whether the tu10 and tu11 are related to the tu4? any definition for them?
Oops, dram isn't in the grid...it might by in the dictionary
After the dog, jilli, comes the foul fi***--poor Tom's a- cold
a friend mnus the "r"
ah, thanks mymuse
paint thinner Krys
Hetty, that was flosey asking - I have all the f words
hetty, too obvious lol
aha, not related - was looking for the wrong thing. thanks!
O.K> flosey, sorry to confuse you with your bridge-playing-building buddy
clues for he4/5 please, second last one
ahh...2 left...both s's
ok hetty, thanks anyway
mymuse, sorry to be too obvious,just too anxious to please I guess
You can tell what's on my mind... Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle Hobbes was fond of his dram And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart "I drink, therefore I am!"
lol douglas
the last tr 6 & 7 ..... start with tr 5/10 and add the comparative and superlative
clever icon Cath

Douggie, behave or I'll get out my whip
;) careful hetty...doug might like that sort of thing
douglas.... must complement you on quoting Terrance Trent and/or Johnny Cash (cover of Nine Inch Nails) it's such a poignant song
flosey - you should see stidgmere's! check this website:

flosey - it was at it's peak in the small grid yesterday, man oh man
I'm all over the map tonight Cathyar, I've quoted The Tubes, 1776, Nine Inch Nails, Tom Lehrer and Springsteen...
missing cr6/21
smiley, if you go to the link at the bottom of the page... licketysplit.... there is a list of the first 2 letters of each word and how many letters in that word.
lol douglas...i DID notice that as i was attempting to complete the grid
flosey it's an insult for an unintelligent person
need clue for ve 4/8 and 6/30, please
yes...and the point value for each word as well smiley
Lickety's Babble clues that is.
am beginning to feel that way mymuse!!
dolt, moron, idiot, poltroon,
ve4/8 = to sell something. the ve6 is the seller of the goods
phantom verify
ty cathyar!
douglas...who are u calling such names???
cr6/21 is a dreadful word, often used to wound those who may seem slow. Rhymes with "lettin' "
the in 8/50 is a weird word
u r welcome drum
This puzzle is **** with weird words...but what grid isn't?
Oh, I was only giving synonyms for the cr6/21 for which flosey is searching...
reached Douglas's point of moral victory 124 done, 116 to go, but the sunshine beckons! BBL, and might even chat for real then :) Cheers!
Got it uyet, flosey, after all Doug's synonyms?
just now thanks hetty, never been called that!!
Got all the u-words!
or are you maybe wh**** your whistle?

Hi ren, hi pam
hi Pam, sorry missed b4
hey doug, cathy, wolvie
hi Ping!
hi muse!
Ping, your icon reminds me of a clever concrete poem
Such a friendly group!!!!
hello friend pam!
any clues for in5/12 please
another Escher@
oh, one shaped like an apple?
Yes--with a worm hidden inside
i don't think there is an in5/12 flosey
LOL!
it's a magritte painting that they have in a museum here in houston
How about in6/21 and in8/50?
flosey, I on't see in5/12, only 2 in5/10's--?
mymuse-- I just love escher!
in8/55 is one who in6/27's
me too!
There are lots of ******s around here...
in8/50 is in5/10 + another word for slice
not in 8/55, the other one please 8/50
sorry jilli...didn't look close enuff at what u asked for *duh*
Lather, *****, repeat
in 5/10 plus slice
lickety shows 2 x in5/10
I used to use it to tch concrete poetry--made an apple of the word "apple" on the blackboard and buried in it a single little "worm". Then moved on to the good stuff (William Blake- "O Rose thou art sick---")
I'm missing both
that in 50 is not an everyday word, lol
got the 8/50 -- was going to monkey it but said "Nah - couldn't be!"
in6/21 is part of your foot or part of a shoe
in + ready *** go
in8/50 is a compound--word for "between" followed by what you do with a knife
my 2nd fish this aft - thanks cath
in5/10 the other means unable to move
welcome jilli :)
hetty--love the new bio...the icon is nice, too
sorry, flo - clues came before I could answer. :-)
I keep seeing cutthroat as my phantom word today

wren, the icons are interesting today
yes fiz, nkotb
I like your icon, Wren -- it was hard to figure out at first...
I was up all night last night, I found a brilliant site with hundreds and hundreds of optical illusions. I don't think I even got half way. : /
liar, liar!
good for you, fiz! I was proud just to deadhead the dahlias...

looks like I need 50+ words. Not bad for only 1.5 hours work
Hi Nrkii :)
oooh oooh oooh meee!
good lord, that's a long link
Hey Phand :)
*looks enviously at phand who is obviously smarter...*
hi ya phan
no I am not smart at all. I always use the list for help. So with the list, I still have to figure alot out
hi mymuse
when are you going to go pro?
nutty i think i knew that girl in college. seriously.
that's a novel nut
http://george.shortfatbald.com/cgi-bin /photo.cgi?event=tattoosandpiercings&i mage=BreastTattoo.jpg&subject=
it wont copy and paste
I don't know, my husband thinks it would be friv. So prob not
nut, that's quite an image
how's that?
I am going to clean up after dinner then see if I can get some help to finish
chj, if you put it into notepad first, then delete all the line breaks, it will work
nrkii - it's the direction i wanna go, not exactly what i want
has anyone else's chat log started scrolling left and right again?
nope stid betcha it is the virus on your laptop :-)
okay, to be blunt but subtle at the same time, that might be one of the last places I'd want anyone approaching me with burning instruments and needles
nope
nut i've got a fair amount of body mod in sensitive areas but tattooing my nips is too much for me.
nope
not mine stid
no no, it didn't go on the nip, did it???
yes, I've got that stid
I am not the one who had the virus. Oh well, will shut down and come back and see if it's better. back soon.
around yes, but not on
no nut but still...
virus?
stid : 1, Use Firefox
close enough for me, nut - pink parts + repetitive needle stabbing = yikes!
2 NO need to reboot just shutdown browser
me too, firefox
did someone say virus?
Firefox for me also
besides, I mostly use Linux, very few viruses written for this OS!
there would be considerably less ink in whatever i get
good 4 u stid I stand in awe - but there is malware for all OS - not just MS Doors
it's better now. I guess when I refreshed earlier it didn't come back properly.
I use IE, but I don't have any virus issues to speak of... knock wood
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I know -- but tom only installed my new hard drive a couple days ago -- unlikely to pick up something when I have been only to known sites since then.
ewwwww?
seems like an area that time may not be kind to, nut - just something to think about.
nut will you still love it in 25 years?
Hey.. Is Jackie online?
nrkii at least try Firefox and current 14% of users how use FF instead of IE - for one tabbed browsing
couldnt get to the link, but im sure its lovely nut
andy, yeah, have heard mixed reviews on FF
Haven't seen Jac
i've got it, but i'm not looking!
fiz/muse, in 25 years, i figure it won't be worth looking at one way or another.
seems like FF folks are running into issues more often
okay, are we ready for storytime?
really, nrkii? that's not true for me. (I think??)
nrkii no browser is perfect ok and never will be just make sure the reviews are not from Redmond, WA lol
does anyone know jackie in this chat?
boy did i come back at a perfect time!!
crowd chants YES YES YES YES YES stid
gee nut, I'm still in great shape! or at least I like to think so
actually andy, most complaints I see are on babble
i'll turn off the lights and look nut
go stid!
*puts aside 12 words successfully gleaned in the last few minutes and prepares to listen*
Mac people are running into more issues, too. unfortunately, mean people are always looking for the next challenge. Let's face it, so often MS Windows doesn't offer much of a challenge...
well nrkii that is only few hundred users
There is a fly buzzing around me and about to drive me crazy brb - Must Kill Fly
if it's people complainin firefox is flashing, it's usually because they haven't upgraded.
go faerie!
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. a horse fly, I suppose, since you're back in bluegrass country?
now I shut up but nrkii if u ant more info re: browser safety drop em a,ine at my nick@yahoo.com
I LOVE Firefox!
thanks andy
Guten Abend! You are missing some lovely weather in MI Faerie

So Gilly and Paul spent half the night talking until the rooster crowed and little Nan came sleepily into the kitchen.
mac user here!
see you later muse!
by muse
Paul has gone to get dressed, and Nan is contentedly stirring some batter while Gilly gets the rest of the breakfast going.
bye Muse
I like a stable os-- mac or linux...
Just scrolled back and discovered taht I came just at the right time for the story
the fly is gone
I like stables, but only when they have horses in them! LOL
bye muse...
Hi Inge :0
:-D
Jackie?
yeah i think it's on my ceiling faerie - the biggest freaking thing i've ever seen.
Islandgirl - Jackie isn't here right now sorry.
Anna came into the kitchen soon with Sarah and sat down in the rocker near the stove.
LOL Fiz that's it for sure
:-D
*oops sorry, Stid is telling her story* I must be quiet now.
i'm actually not sure if it's a fly or a 747...
Soon Paul returned, followed by the dog and John who yawned as he pulled his suspenders over his shoulders.
John kissed Anna quickly and followed Paul out to the barn and stable to check on the animals.
benny and joon
Nan finished stirring the batter and handed the bowl back to her mother who had the griddle nice and hot. The pancakes sizzled merrily next to the slices of roast from the previous night.
thought that was last night
worth a watch again
finally saw the tat...i was mispelling breast
i am not looking
never saw it myself but i love johnny
May I have help please on the st 5/10? It is my last word
johhny does a great buster keaton
Andy wandered in, and Gilly sent him out to help with the animals. Nan went with him, to feed the chickens, a chore she enjoyed because she could feel the air moving around her legs as the birds scrabbled for the last bits.
personally, i lead my life trying to avoid get pointy things inserted into me
lol chj! some of us pay a lot of money for it!

Polly and Meg came downstairs with Gray and Olivia. "Mother," exclaimed Meg, "Doris says she's not coming down today!"
sorry, I listed the wrong one.
How are you Katy?
Do I know you?
This is Keeley
no st5/12 has to do with estate planning ...it latin for by the root...as in per stirpes
Aew you a teacher
Gilly rolled her eyes and handed the spatula to Polly. "Thank you, Meg, I will go check on her. Gray, please go tell your daddy and grandfather their breakfast is ready."
phew, chj, rennie had me all nervous.
sounds like sounds like!!! at least here i tx is sounds like!
Gilly took off her apron and hung it on a peg next to the kitchen door. Anna handed Sarah to Meg, and started to set the table.
i can sure clear a room....
cordite
The cat skittered across the floor between the chairs as Olivia climbed up next to Meg and played with Sarah.
so on your pancakes you pour sirp

clear a room? what'd you do ren...fart?
pierce me, tattoo me, whatever - but keep my feet on the ground and out of the stirrups! there are some places pipecleaners should never go....

The sun was starting to come through the front windows as Gilly walked up the stairs briskly.
i was thinking of getting a prince albert
yep, and you sure got my younger child's attention with your grossness, ladies!
just kidding
we keep her around? i thought we couldn't shake her.
i hear they make peeing all messy, chj - don't do it if you like standing up...
oh my evanonut - a little early with your icon, but wow, what a flashback!
She listened quietly at the door before pushing it open and going in.
...or you'l get ur5/12 all over the place. (sorry, couldn't resist)
tx firefly, illusions wasn't capturing my attention - i didn't realize we still had the story going!

he he he, firefly and i are of an age.
prince albert had a pierced pe5/14
Doris lay quietly on her bed, back to the door, her hair straggling across the pillow. Her breath came in short puffs, and every so often she coughed.
*rennie a PA is a personal piercing just for the gentlemen*
lalalalalalalala i didn;t hear that lalalalalalalalala
why yes we are...when's your b-day? mine was July 31
Gilly slipped back out the door and called for Anna.
as rennie goes ostrich
firefly, i'm in october

Anna came quietly and quickly up the stairs, and the two women held a conference in the hall.

Lizzy?
sorry stid.....really sorry..we should go to im for this

10/16 (and i go see my parent in da burgh for thanksgiving)
that's me
were we still talking about that stuff?
Soon, Anna was back in the kitchen making a tea of horehound, oatstraw and feverfew; John was hitching a horse to the cart to go into the village for the doctor; and Meg was bringing in a basin of cool water while Polly served breakfast to the younger children.
im running out for food...chinese or thai?

Thai, please, Tom Yum is my favorite soup...
may I pls have Vietnamese?

Paul washed his hands carefully and joined Gilly upstairs.
ok fiz, fly...make it difficult...now i gotta make two stops
ooh, thai for me too please. allergic to shrimp

phandmd - someone accidentally typed it in the log not long ago...see if you can find it ;)
brb
Doris was sleeping fitfully. Gilly sat next to her, putting a cool cloth on her forehead or the back of her neck.
co 7 - A smokeless explosive powder consisting of nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, and petrolatum that has been dissolved in acetone, dried, and extruded in cords / wires.
thx chj.
Paul opened the window to cool the room, and pulled the curtain shut. He paced a bit, then sat down on Polly's bed next to Gilly.
co4/6 + not he or she + 2nd vowel, phand - and plural
"Paul, she'll be okay. The kids get these things sometimes." Gilly tried to look convincing.
"But I thought she was done having these illnesses, Gilly -- has it happened often while I was gone?
tnx Andy, the reverse dictionary is a god send!
Oh, thankx Fiz
yw phand co8 is of course plural
yw phand - didn't know if you were up on your explosives.
Fiz it is now beconing as basic as arithmetic unfortunately
Gilly wrung out the cloth and set it again on the back of Doris's neck. "Not at first, but in the last couple of years..."
can you make that from shampoo, toothpaste, and lipstick, andy?
I am not up on my explosives
cr 6&7?
Paul stood up as Anna came into the room with a tray. She poured a cup of tea for Gilly and gestured toward Doris, "Is she ready for her tea?"
Hey?
probably not Fiz but am no expert unfortunately
Anyone wanna chat with me?

IslandGirl if u keep this is up I guarantee few people will atually read your stuff and hence probably no one will help u
they took it before i got on the plane, annie...
Islandgirl - I know your young, but you gotta go with the flow...no one's talking to me right now either, but I'm not throwing a hissy fit about it
Paul snagged a plate and balanced it on his lap while he ate, watching Doris and Gilly carefully.
call Homeland Security and tell about the troll, you will get it back, Fiz
could I have a different clue, not up on canadian politics
fiz but I bet u can still smuggle semtex if u wish so
Gilly handed the cloth to Anna and stood with her plate by the foot of the bed.
yay. more than half done
hiccups? no i just wanna chat to someone who cares to talk to an 11 yr. old girl.
Hello Firefly!

night mom
Anna gently brushed Doris's hair out of her eyes, and wiped her face with the cool cloth. Doris rolled over and looked at her out of one swollen eye.
i love school!!!
"Hi," she croaked, and wheezed a bit. "Is Mother here?"
*hands rennie a little black plastic comb and a mottled blue background*
ahh, school - new pens and pencils, new notebooks, new folders and Trapper Keepers
"Right here," said Gilly and Paul simultaneously, setting their plates aside.
i love school too! i don;t like my school uniform though
don't forget the jcpenny chirt
yes - trapper keepers!
i start a few classes next week - so excited about the excuse to go to office depot.
012 benneton sweatshirt and slap bracelets.
hm. when I was young, all we had were peechees...
Trappers! love them....
renfield - what sort of uniform are we talking?
guess sweatshirts and rolled up jeans
and the school uniforms were used, so none of them fit and they were faded...
Oh ok.. I hate my uniform and stupid school.
socks over the jeans
and madonna hair
you missed out stid - there's a whole world of "bare necessity" school products.
nut!! I had some Guess jeans, and I pegged em too heehee
black skirt, white top. vest
IslandGirl, what was your favorite subject last year>
So ur 11 renfield??????
?
and LA Gear shoes
*back to the story*
RENFIELD??
hair pulled back, yeck
Anna stood up and walked to the door, "I'll bring the doctor up when she arrives."
i had a uniform in 5th through 9th grade. a weird "tunic" with box pleats you were supposed to belt at the waist. of course we word boxer shorts and bloused the whole thing up over the belt to show them.
too tight ponytail and weird big glasses b/c my sister broke the good frames....again.
i taught at a girls school that had uniforms - the girls loved it, said they liked that they didn't have to think about what to put on in the morning
Iwas given a choice of school when in China and going elsewhere - boarding in Canada or England - I chose more or less on the basis of uniforms! The English one was best -- one of the Canadian ones offered middy blouses, ugh.
Paul picked up the tea for Doris and smiled at Anna, "Thank you."
Gilly helped Doris sit up and Paul held out the cup.
true. i changed schools in HS and had a hard time getting used to picking an outfit - plus i didn't really have any clothes...
there certainly are a lot of things you can "re"!
Doris coughed again, and Gilly held the cup for her to sip from.
fireworks
YAY Borden!
but i "grew up" a bit btw 5th and 9th grades and had the same uniforms - had to rip out the side seams at the top to fit in them, and they were obscenely short....
congrats, borden
yay borden!
it was ok krys...only i could never find my socks and you could not "shave your legs"!
congrats borden! I just realized that my icon is with the theme for a change - rotational
bravo, Borden
nice work Borden!
YAY borden!!!
thxs all
poodle skirt, bobby sox, black and whites, sweater with a dicky collar
so someonw brought nair, then wax...then i was blamed for it....all becausei i couldn't find my socks
yay borden!!!
Downstairs, Polly and Meg were trying to keep Andy and Nan from arguing about who would play with Sarah. The cat ran around the side of yard chasing a creature, and bumped into the dog who was digging a trench.
rennie, did you really hide your socks?
sounds like a bum deal ren
sorry rennie...
I'm heartily in favour of school uniforms if they are attractive as ours were - they changed with the seasons and from ancient pix are still good-looking!
i lost my socks.....all of them....:-D
oh sorry rennie
is this why you have a thing for socks now?
*thinks: poor renfield*
yes i guess so....now they don;t need to match...
hi everyone...Ren, poor dear...do you have a sock fetish now?
sorry stid...sorry...i'll be quiet now
*hands rennie a pair of white slouch socks layer with green slouch socks from the school uniform circa 1989 pile*
no school uniforms in German schools after WWI, but we girls all had clothes sewn by our mothers from red-orangy parachute material from anearby militasry depot....
funny rennie - i haven't worn a pair of plain white socks since my uniform days.
Anna whisked into the kitchen and frowned at them. Suddenly, Andy and Gray were laughing uproariously because Nan couldn't figure out why it had gotten so quiet.
*WWII
In the earlier school in Shanghai we had those tunics and navy blue short "bloomers which we rolled up for gym to show as much leg as possible
lol jilli!!
sounds like a flattering color inge!
inge, don't you mean WW2? I didn't think you outranked me in age - LOL
wooo hooo jilli!
I have hated it all mylife, own nothing in that color now
Meg and Polly giggled, and shooed the younger children outside. It was too wet to work in the garden, so they wandered over to the park again to look for frogs.
clues on the cu7/8 combo?
kay, nite nite time
cu 7/40 pls? ty

Jilli, look at 8:56

hey jen
hi, annie, ren :)
The doctor was a thin, short woman, with thin gray hair and a thin nose. Her voice was high-pitched but quiet. John handed her a bag, bulging with jars and bags, and drove the horse and cart around back.
ok - long grid, late start, bad combo.
hi Jen!
Hi guys, i finally upgraded. Have a good night sleep. See you tomorrow. Bye
ni4/4, all who are leaving, and I'm outtahere for a mo to get a vodka refill ;) -- sorry, stid, for all the nonsense...

I've been telling the story for almost an hour... took a nap earlier though.

Hi, all. I have missed Babble these past weeks...

Anna met her and took her wrap, then showed her upstairs.
hey jai!!
*checks clock, shocked to see how much time has passed.
Hello Jackie?????? Whitewitch.. Are you there?
hi Jai!
{{{{JAI}}}} How are you doing? Our hearts have been with you.
The doctor paused for a moment when she entered the room, sizing up Paul. "So -- you're home."

Island - Keely is that you?
phand french for the world - flip last vowel to a round vowel
UHUH
YES IT'S KEELEY
Gilly stood up to let the doctor examine Doris. She looked at Paul, "Perhaps you want to work on some of the harnesses, Paul? I know Owain was saying he intended to fix it, but..."
phandmd, think of the plural for currency, and then take the s off the end
now thers a woman with a short attention span
YES IT'S KEELEY

IslandGirl, please! turn off the caps! no need to yell here.

Paul smiled grimly and nodded to the doctor, "I'll be around if you need me ma'am."

I have that one it is 5/14, need the 5/12 (the second word, 1st 5/12)
NOWAY! IT'S EARLY! I GO TO BED AROUND 2:00 A.M.
Oh- Jilli- I wish you could talk to my Mom....She's devastated....
thanx anyway
OR 1:00 A.M.
MAYBE EVEN LATER
I have left 236 words. I didnt babble today.
The doctor didn't reply. She was looking at Doris's eyes, and feeling her neck and listening to her breathing.
did you get my clue, phandmd?
BUT ON SCHOOL NIGHTS I GO TO BED AT LIKE 11:00
And you?
I HAVE 214 WORDS LEFT

Islandgirl, turn of your caps
Islandgirl, please take off the capslock. it's very distracting.

Gilly sat down on Polly's bed and watched anxiously.
I have 214 words left Jackie!

John came into the kitchen after handing the horse to his father and Anna fixed his breakfast. He looked at her thoughtfully.

She looked at him in surprise, "Why -- I will do whatever is necessary, of course! What else?" She smiled, "But I don't think they will be ill. They are fine, strong children."
proof of trollism

He finished his breakfast and headed out to the barn to help his father. Anna picked Sarah up from the high chair and carried her to the front room where Polly and Meg were studying.
a wizard of oz reference that was fitting, fiz :)
hr fest
say hello to your parents
these little leaguers are on steroids

Ok, They say hello back!!!!
Upstairs, Gilly and the doctor were conferring -- what had likely caused the illness, whether Doris would need stronger medicine, if it might be contagious.

LOL, fiz
Fith.....was I your speech path?
hey blonde beard...are you making an inventory of the words you have left
it's funny, i've always been a good reader, so I really had to think about how to teach reading to others and to break down the procedure
it'th true. don't know gee - did you work in pittsburgh?
the first TE 5/12?
Not yet...fiz, but I have run into former kids that made me question my skills...lol
jen: if the word is to come into a room, i tried and it's not working
nan, for the 2nd tr 6, take the first tr 6 and change the last letter to a plural
it's 5 bells...10:30 here in CT
got \it
the kicker of the whole thing as a kid was that not only did i have this out of control lisp, but i couldn't say "speech pathologist". but now only when i'm really really tired.
co7/co8 clue, please?
i completed the grid...and i want to thank all who contributed to by pyro award!
in my five years of speech lessons I would pay attention to my wet S's just during that hour to get the sticker, but I wouldn't think about S's at all between lessons
to, make sure you drop the r from that word and add an s -- does that help?
yay ren!
te5/12 te + ***dependent voter
haaha rennie
yayayayayay ren

G'nite, Jen

sweet zzz's jen.....thanks for the choco
nite nite klaurel...sleep tight
night, klaurel
stid, are you still here?
Jen, have a wonderful first day of school tomorrow. good night!
missing 2, gotta figure out which ones
the chapter is up at babanon -- I am afraid it isn't as coherent or cohesive as I try for -- I found the log a bit distracting.
tr 6,7,6 -- they all start with the same five letters: 3 prefix + first person pronoun + vowel
oooh you are! have you heard of Lulu.com? Have a look.
the fiz. I think I have wee wee number one, is it different than that?
thanks babbler, will do!
t-owl cr 6 = place where paul took jacula (in greece) drop the last vowel add opposite of out then plural
yeah i took that bio break too
oh never mind! duh!
stid thank you so much for storytime i so look foward to it
thanks thefiz
thanks nan...I will work on it...
Back for a minute to apologise for my previous outburst. I was taught to respect my elders and that seems to be out of fashion so I lost my temper.
yw debb. sorry the last couple days have been so early, but for some reason I have been tired and didn't want to write so late in the evening.
man...hard grid...Babbler, you took my Boy Band!
I will go back to the 9pm game time schedule tomorrow though.
ok - i pulled weeds, weedwhacked the edge of my garden, crowbared apart this old doghouse in my backyard, and cleaned the garage today - then sat down to babble. and in the time i've been here i've completely stiffened in a sitting position - had to hobble down the hall to the bathroom!
heheh, you gotta be quick in this game, Krista! lol! } )
you have nothing to apologize for - you put them on bab anon so quickly !!
And Jill -- as the elderest of us all, you were naturally and understandably unhappy with what was happening. If you hadn't done it, I was going to...
hobbled bio break
They only had one hit song here (I think), but I listen to them to annoy my husband.
(oh and yw, april - glad you got it) the bio break part was fine - i sit you know...
Thanks for that, stid
nan, are you sure it is a vowel that follows the 3 prefix, and the personal pronoun?
they were a lot of fun, Krista. I wasn't really a fan, but I liked how fun they were.
oh Fiz! get yourself in a warm shower and then stretch a little before you sit again... be good to yourself, you weekend Xena!
trolls can make a sane person crazy jilli...kind of like one night in bangkok...
Jilli, i wish all people acted like they wanted to be treated instead of like spoilt children. Love you for you being you.
Now back to the grid with 21 left to find, listfully ;)
Shoot, did I miss some good troll action??
Jill -- I hope next time I visit you I can see some pics of when you were in school -- the descriptions of your uniforms sound interesting. Would also like to know how boarding school was for you... It seems so foreign to me!
I have 36 remaining, but will have to wait a bit. I am desired for my amazing throwing arm... the active one wants to play fetch.
back soon.
you should post them on bab anon jilli..so we can all see them!
lol rennie! stid, i started the bath while i was in there - don't think i'm making it through this grid tonight...
Oh please come soon, stid!! and thanks all, for the backup!

Hello Islandgirl20! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
**peers from behind spray can timidly to check for results**
i'm outta here, can't concentrate. hope to see most of you later.
Just be free wth your e's and i's ,jilli after your th's
I am so sorry, I cannot concentrate on things because of the rude person. I need to hide the chat log for a while. back later.
it's keeley1995@hotmail.com
It's keeley 1995@hotmail.com.. but how about you?
later folks....
wait.. cybernan?
Who's the rude person?
an 11 year old girl should not be advertising her email address anyplace!!!!
*tosses krista thick black eyeliner on the way out*
then go to it and call up some of your friends. i don;t want it.
:) :) Caught it, Fiz, thanks.
finally found the last one I was missing. anyone need clues?
wut? well my friend is asking me for it.. and if anyone bad emails me or somethin' i'll block him!!!!
raises hand --- the 11 letter and the 10 letter please
bedtime for 11 year olds...
oh yeah.. right?
Fiz - I'm not going anywhere - just wanted to share the celebration of my British civilian father's release from a four year imprisonment in a Hong Kong internment camp
aknitter - think about removing paint
aknitter, think of paint thinner and plural
renfield??? r u mad at me?
11-- an aromatic (Ithink) paint thinner...
removing paint? at this hour of the night?? LOL
if you are 11, then you should have been told by your parents not to post your e-mail address in a public chat room. if you are a prostitute looking for a man, then there are other places to post your e-mail.
RENFIELD? ARE YOU MAD AT ME?
10 & 11 - you clean paint brushes with this
yikes, chill guys
rennie, i just fell off my chair laughing
Jilli, what memories you have; I know how you loved your father
i find i hard to believe she has any frends - cause if she did - why would she be spending so much time on here?
grr know the word, can't spell it
girls can post their emails regardless of their job or their age anywhere they want
Jilli, I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times, but you should write a book.
they CAN but they shouldnt

I have a life--really! :-D
eww! look..i'm smart! i know what goes on in the world! i'm very opened minded ok! i know if i do something wrong! if all these people start emailing me and stuff, i'll block their asses off! ok so heres a crazy idea, why dont you settle down and mind your own business! and how about dont ask me if i have an instant messenger if you dont want it.. so back off dumb ass!
no prob
anymore clues
nope. not safe. outta here again.
go back while you can, stid
i rest my case - is that how an 11 yr old types?
help, drG!
April, you will not find support for the advertizing of self on this particular chat log, nor tolerance of foul
languge
Krista, I did write a book, but it was about Great Danes. I also wrote little books just for my grandkids but they were not interested.
phan -- clues for the remaining 211 words i have left LOL -- off to a late start
excuse me? now how old are you renfield?
IslandGirl I take it up with u when I done ok 11 to go
regardless of public opinion or patriarchal/misoginistic views
****i meant 11 year olds specifically islandgirl*****
how do these people find us?
happy to clue for the next 10-15 min then off to bed
Oh, they will be interested someday, Jilli! Your life sounds more interesting than any fiction I have read.
hetty, maybe I missed something but posting an email to contact a friend is not what I would consider advertising of self or whatever you said of foul
My parents' lives are more intersting than mine
1
go jilli
Welcome back Stid. We need your soothing presence
but I could be missing something I admit as I am not reading every post
The household is going to bed without me..better hit the hay. Goodnight friends.
Back to the grid - somebody else handle the brat, please
night, krista
guess wat.. ur really pissing me off! i'm 21 ok. I lie about me being 11 because people usually wanna chat with 11 yr olds ok. but u guys seem differnent, apparently ur too cool for inosant kids. so usually i make my email address easy enough for ppl to agree on and think that i'm 11. and i'm not actually an islandgirl. i live in pennsylvania! ok.
Have you navigated those E's and I's, jilli?
go jill go!
I have 9 remaining.
gnite krista
The 1 didn't mean anything - just a typo
go stid go!!
I am going to write to Dr God. back soon.
go stid!
hi all
nite Krista
ok so ya hear?
go Stid; you can do it
9 here
too mch distraction, hetty *closing chat for a bit"
you can do it too, andy
**whispering** someone take the sray from me...
IF I HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN, I AM GOING TO HURT SOMEONE.... NO POSTING EMAIL ADDRESSES KIDS!! I WILL HAVE YOU BANNED FROM THIS SITE! AND YOU INSLANGIRL20!! SHUT UP!! AND STOP LYING TO US!!
go andy!!!
Keeley, I'm sorry you're having a rough time here today. This chat log is different from other sites like MySpace, because we're generally concentrating on finishing this puzzle, and we don't generally like a lot of texttype and caps. If you're hanging around here to find pedophiles who like to chat with 11 year olds, you're in the wrong place.
Stid,Dr God is on holiday;aybe we shouldn't bother him with this
ok well excuse me!
yep I missed something and all apologies around
i'm just tryin' to be nice!
I've got three more words to find and I'm turning off the chat log so I won't be distracted - 'night everyone!
There are no excuses for trolls like you!! Get off our chat log
hi kimber
(hi jfarber!)
No, you are not being nice, Island, you are being a pest
Hi to all my fellow mamas and stids and babblers
looks like i entered at an interesting time
blah blah blah.. shhhhh.. i'm trying to focus!
ugh!
Hi MaMa
hi mama
hi mamawa
im here to find the 8s
hmm seems like the chat is tense tonight
yes, Kimber
Hi MaMaMa
Not that I'm defending Island or April's attitude or language, but Andy actually posted his email in the log earlier today. Perhaps none of us should. Also, emails seem to be available in profiles
I am back. firefox crashed, but message was sent.
Hey MG you paying attention?
Hey annie
troll remover should be applied shortly.
and hetty
thank you stidmama
psssst!
I am Kahlua - kind of taken aback by the unpleasantness in the log tonite
thanks, stid
ty, stid!
...I've been here for a while, and I've never seen anybody trolling.
Sorry haven't been paying attention to that.
this is my first time on today and just reading the log
I know my attitude and language was appropriate, given certain circumstances. However, it appears in this circumstance I misunderstood the intention?
Sorry - can't concentrate so will not finish, thanks to the horribly selfish "21-year-old" disrupter of a friendly site
now then. I lost my list when firefox crashed, so am going back to the old-fashioned way...
Probably a good idea, Kahlua
ignore her jilli - we want you to finish
Maybe islandgirl really is 21 since she has a 20 at the end of her name which is maybe when she joined. Or maybe she isn't and we will never know! Just thinking
Fortune #6: A friend will bring you a big surprise soon.
Stid - i was thinking of going to firefox - not a good idea?
I need three more I words... I have IN 5/10, 6/27, 8/55, 4/7, 6/21 and 5/10. What am I missing?
chj, oooh, cant wait
firefox is usually stable, maynegirl, but there has been a lot of "traffic" and sometimes my little machine doesn't handle it that well.
Kimber, one 8 is cu8/55; you ad American spelling of "right" (pl) to whatyou drink tea from
minver, island is pretending to be an 11 year old to get people to chat to her/him... sick sick sick
Ty Stid - will keep that in mind
Hi MayneGirl!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
wow I just read the chat log...people have been cranky tonight
the cu7, of course, is the sing.
an in 8/50 and 6/18
I have 18 to go but as I said, an't concentrate. I'll try to cool down. Give me a minute -- need the loo! <VBG>
jill, we'll finish together (or die trying) what do you need?
Meanwhile: Could someone give me a hint for the tr8/40? My brain just seems to have clicked shut...
stidmama, I think you're missing an in5/10, an in 8/50, and an in6/18
Haven't they? How are you doing - we are at 50 left
between the 4/7 & 6/21 there is a 5/10 - it is part of your foot
annie...we never did find out your last name that is in the grid today....but perhaps now is not the time
okay, help on the 8/50 and the 6/18 please? I have the foot in 5/10
erda its something that removes paint
hello all, I see we're having fun today
the 8 builds on the 5 before it

I laugh at my husband. He thinks some guys is going to pick me up. I tell him it isn't that kind of chat log, but he does not believe me.Like I would leave him for someone else on the internet!I try to get him to play but he won't. He has absolutely no interest in Babble.

what was your game of choice
oh, Atlantic City!
oooh, alaska outfielder just misplayed one
yuppers
wow!!!!!
good hustle - oh, are we rooting for alaska?
are you guys watching the little leaguers?
i am
yes
i just started cause chj and ren are
Blackjack. Single deck.
theyve never been to williamsport
did Guam send a team?
coach needs to chill
they still use single decks?
oh, ok - go alaska!
are you a card counter
Nope, not smart enough to count cards. It was just an empty table that me and four friends sat down at to play together for shits and giggles. I started with 25 in chips, the minimum bet at the table, and ended up with 155 there during the hour the dealer was there. Then we walked around, people played some games, but by the time I got to sit at another blackjack table, it was five and I was tired and some ass was smoking a nasty cigar and it was making me sick to my stomach.
these are the regionals....so they may have had a ream in the pacific region
oh, i'll have check how Guam and Hawaii are doing then
had some friends were into craps big time....would win or lose $50k in a night
holy moly
Ouch. I took two hundred down with me. I'm poor, after all...But I had a lot of fun while it lasted and since I was a casino virgin I was very happy with the help that the dealer was giving me and my friends throughout our hands. Most dealers wouldn't bother with that.
or7/32 anyone?
hawaii's team last year was choice!!!
hawaii was 2-2 in their four games in the wast regionals won by arizona i think
I could never see myself, no matter how rich, spending 50 large.
maynegirsl - think fish sa***es - flip sa to or
or + eats at a fine restaurant

lets all meet next week in williamsport for a babbler convention/LLWS
debb, yes last year's team from Hawaii was great! they were celebrated for weeks over here!
yay merk!!!
Hi 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
thats so awesome franmag! i hve to pay more attention to these little leaguers
Congratulations Merk on fireworks! Hooray for you!
thx, andy! got both 6/18's
hi min! hi nrk and all! iv'e been here nearly 1 1/2 hours but just began so babbling furiously!
ok, up from the dive with 5 left, all tr words. Help, anyone?
not too many years ago, the team from trumbull CT won the whole thing.....did hawaiiwin last year
debb, from the looks of some of those kids, i'm sure many of them were ineligible to play this year!
Which ones, jilli?
i think there's a plaque on the merrit parkway where it runs through trumbull
some of them are rather big!!
yes, hawaii won last year chj.
I have all tr's but not 8/40
jilli I am here
After the first three tr words, a tr6/18, tr7/28.
tr 8/40 - no definition in dictionary.com - Latin for three + en 5/10 - flip very last consonant for the one following it in the alphabet
Hello. I just got back from three days of Irish Music. Think I have time to finish the grid if I start now? ;0 )
Success - all tr words accounted for. Tyvm andy
hi harp!
yvw MayneGirl
debb, some of them had samoan blood i think. a lot of samoans in the NFL these days.
hi harp!
hi all. Got up to 198 with just lickety's list, would folks be willing to clue the rest for me? :P
jilli tr 6/18 - latin for three + vowel + consonant + same vowel --> tr7 is plural
aaah - that would make sense!!
of course ornith!
great! first ones I need are co7 and 8, and all three cr's
and hi Fran :)
ornith, co7 is co4/6 (rope) + opp of day (alt spelling) minus the N, co8 is plural
co7 = co 4/6 + what y ou do to lose weight, but switch last two letters
co 8 is plural
thanks nrkii
ack, extra D in my definition, sorry
cr 5/12 = someone who sobs, weeps, etc
trumbull CT won in1989, toms river nj in 1998...hawaii beat curacao last year 7-6
crs are 6/21-not so smart one-cr+vowel+ metal for cans.
thanks again!
thanks Fran - stupid one to miss :P and not just because of the pun, comes up a lot
cu7/40 and 8?
Hello harpjane! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!
yw ornith!
Hello Ornith! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
ornith, it think it's a copper ore
cu 7 = what you drink coffee from + not left (alt spelling)
hi Minveryork, think I can finish tonight :)
this puzzle has quite a few nasties, eh? pu6/27, fe5/18, fo6/30, fe6/27, in6/27, ur5/12, ve5/18...
fiz, pu6/27 is smelly and gross
also a lot of names
oh, i see you're naming all the yuck words!
fiz, you're not looking for clues for all those are you ? LOL
yeah, fran, exactly.
en 6/21 and 7, and 6/18?
andy - thanks for those - now 2 left - let me see....
nrk - someone wanted to ask you about the lecture you went to for your bday - firefly, maybe?
ornith, opp of begin + same ending as that co word
en + weight loss anagram
en 6/21 is en + the ending for the co word just clued
Fiz, yep, I saw that in the chat... sorry I missed Firefly
hey everyone!
en6/18 is the whole thing
en 6/18 - I would like to finish the en**** grid tonight
helen!!!
hi helen!!!
I've been waiting just for you!
hah, thanks fiz, that gave me at least one... and thanks all for clues :)
Hello helenkeller! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
no offense to all the rest of you fine people :)
it has really been one of those 'one thing leads to another' kinda days & now here i am with 46 left - yikes!
brb, have to put away groceries.
hi helen. lol min - me too!
hi helen
okay helen, we can help you finish, but first... got a pen?
Does anyone have a clue for the cr 7/32 word please
hey fran, nrkii, minver, fiz, debb
hi helen....here for the flip
yes - i have a pen
fe6 and both fe5/18's?
min, just clued below
hi chj!
*holds back flip with both hands* I need that hour, chj!
minver, just got clued, plural of cr6/21
helen, in your honor, having read your wonderful helen keller quote in your profile a thousand times, I put two other wonderful helen keller quotes up as quote of the day on the blog
so AFTER you finish the grid, I'd be thrilled if you checked it out
i thought you were done fiz
1
go jilli!!!
38 to go chj...
go fiz!!!!
can we help
the pen is to write yourself a quick note "check nrkii blog later"
:)
i'll let you know, i'mnot shy about asking....
cool nrkii - then i can read about your author day too - i need to make more notes for myself!
Does anyone have a clue for the di 5/12 word please?
I"m sorry I didn't get home earlier--NOT! But I think I would enjoy a largish grid like this one!
lol nrkii - i see you are psychic about the pen, lol
well helen it really was you who inspired today's quote, because I checked your profile yesterday and thought... hmmm... quote of the day tomorrow?
fo 6.30 anyone? please
minver, woman's name (a moon goddess), change a's to e's
*fiz & hk - race, on your marks, get ready, get set, GO!*
fo 6/30 = fe 5/18 + extra vowel
taz - british for stinking rotten - like fe5/18
anyone got my f's? fe6, both fi5/18s?
oo tyvm
bb in a sec
Sorry Orinth, I'm not getting your moon goddess clue
I give up - my last word which I cannot find is the tr5/10 right after the tr8/40. Fish coming, I bet!
fe6 is the uncle on the munsters (i think - maybe addams family) or what happens to an untended sore. fi5/18 moist and rotten or a bad person
minver, same as bartender's name in Cheers, but change middle letter to E (Shelly Long's character)
jilly, if you stop trying, you wont be a good tr5
thanks fiz, the other fi5/18?
wardrobe change brb
jilli, one who attempts things
jilli the one who attempts to do sometng, tr***
other fi 5/18 is like the actor from Bridget Jones Diary, Colin fi***
