very cool what a small world
i live in oak park - very close to helen
no ping - i don't recall - my tax guy lives in highland park -lol - not close to me either, but every year he come to my house & picks up my stuff - was just here this week & we realized it will be 20 years next year - we are OLD!!
ok nifty
well i bet that beach house is worth a fortune

hey helen, i think about you every time i drive north on harlem - my family thinks i'm getting way too involved in babble!
lol ls1 !!!

my sister's husband grew up there
well the first 83 were easy
have a beer molsen's in the grid
quoll is not in the dictionary ?
span itnot in the scrabble dictionary either
Is 1 - especially if you're comment is that your friend helen keller lives there - it might sound strange i guess
good question, spangles
lol ping!
wa7/52 & 8/70
it would be like your partner commenting that his friend thomas edison was in oak part
hello there!
hi chic

math
free word
hello chic!!
Hey Mrp and mymuse
LOL
lol ping - funny!
good to have friends, Is 1
just helping lickety find the pesky 5 letter word that wasn't on the grid today... babbles clues are nearly up
ls1 - more like frank llooyd wright is everywhere :)
a Qu issue, MrP?
hey guys
mr p - does it take a lot of work to get the clues up each day?
ernest hemingway grew up here - his quote about oak park is "broad lawns, narrow minds" but it's far from true today
hi cassandra
Is 1 - i didn't know he grew up in chicago
not this time... it was a t word we had too many of... had to work through them! so everyone 'tolar' is not a word
hi cass
he left right after high school
i am of the opinion that ernest hemingway is not a great writer, not even a good writer
yeah, helen, i think he had a good press agent
i liked it when i was younger - wonder what i'd think if i reread it now though
nice to have someone agree with me on that point!!!
phantom phrase: alma mater
CLUES ARE UP!! It isn't that hard to get the clues up, just a hassle when the dictionary doesn't agree with the grid :D
Krys said a word
thanks mr p and lickety
thanks lickety and mr p!
crap, sorry, thought it wasn't accepted.
ty lickety and mrp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good night, everyone :)

My 9 yr old grandson calls me when he's in trouble with his parents (usually my daughter). He'll be talking real quietly and I'll find out he's in the bathroom. Then I'll hear my daughter yell, "Bridger, who are you talking to in there?" And Bridger says, Grandmother, I gotta go.
phantom damsel
blecchhhtt
lol munner - my friend's daughter had a meltdown on her front lawn - we had to get somewhere in a hurry & there she lay, pounding her fists on the grass, screeching 'i want my cell phone, i want my cell phone' i gave my friend a look &all she said was 'toy'

(now you know why I don't chat much!)

brings back memories Nef
nite Krys'
my fav gin many years ago
I think I had it once
but I recently found a small bottle in a box of my dtrs' stuff
I keep slogging away at this grid and the words going very slow.... i need chips..
it was empty:(
nef has some
Nef how old is your dtr?
Hi blaze
24, she's legal
lol, as I remember, it was quite sweet
hello Nef and hello to all.... I never much liked gin i was a vodka and kaluha person...
I'm trying to get rid of JUNK around here; we plan on selling this house in about 2 years and I'm starting NOW to get it ready to sell (I want to enjoy some of the fixed up place myself
Nef that is good thinking...
I can't hold my liquor; 2 drinks and I'm asleep under the table; then sick the whole next day
I don't drink at all.... not for many many years....
took me about 10 years to figure that out, so now if I have a drink in 2-3 months that's a LOT for me
for sure Nef, great to get at it early and think about what you want to get rid of/keep - you must be a well organized person
I was given Hep c in a blood transfusion and my liver can not handle alcohol or many other things.
nite everyone
nite mm
oh Blaze, how horrible
re: the house; we've owned 2 other houses in the past and did all of this work just before selling. This time I want to enjoy it too
g'nite mymuse, I'm about to turn in also
no tylenol for you I guess {{Blaze}}
nite mymuse and flosey
nite mymuse and flosey
we lived in last home for 30 years and collected so much 'stuff' - from Ontario to BC meant get rid of a lot of it
flosey.... it was really horrible at first when I found out in 1993,.,, as I am O neg and had been a great donor too... part of the cycle so to speak. I live with it and have kept reasonably well... even did a year of treatments.. and now looking forward to by big cheque from the Fedral government.... will not hold my breath though
my house is NOT organized; both kids have moved out and in and out a few times and they left stuff each time
why a check from the governemnt?
Class action suit against them for letting it happen... the provincial government and the red cross have settled and the feds too but the cheques won't be issued for a while....
they weren't screening well enough or what?
somewhere between a few hundred and a few thousand... not near as much as the 3000.00 a month I paid for one year for treatments
plasmaapherisis?
there was a certain time frame that most country's were not screening properly... but the .98 extra was too much for them to okay...
Nef what is that word?
spelt wrong (of course) plasmapheresis is a type of treatment for cleaning toxins out of the blood. But it probably isn't used for Hep C
the drugs was a combo called pegatron... it was almost like a chemo treatment... like having flu for a year.
I was trying to think of what type of treatment you would have had that would cost so much 10 years ago and that popped into my head
this was only three years ago....
okay; my hubby has M.S. and 1 of his meds costs $1400/ month (thank goodness he has health insurance
we did end up getting some help with costs.... thank goodness.
that's good
Oh dear, Blaze - just tuned in again - what a bummer. Good luck from now on!
love your icon, Jilli :)
Oh I am good to go for a long while.... the virus is uncountable and will stay that way.... I just need to keep watch... and now that I can't keep up with the speedy kids... LOL
Blaze, I once heard Naomi Judd speak to a nursing convention and she is a strong believer in complimentary medicine and a positive attitude
Thanks, Nef! And all the best with your hubby's MS - it's a bummer too - hope the meds help
You bet... I totally agree.... just accepting that it is normal for you and to heck with everyone else is good too.
the meds help; he takes an awful lot of them
good nite everyone :)
good sleeps
nite Helen
good night, helen - see you tomorrow?
hello to all and nite to those who are leaving!
I only have 61 words and haven't found another one since the last one I posted here in chat

plural of wa7, stashof cash, gangster's gal
hmm, got em thanx, but what in the world kind of words are they?
yes ,this is my second go
they are very very babble words...LOl
not even in the dictionary
If so there is a site that most of us use that you can find down below the grid on the bottom: Lickety's babble clues
babble uses the enable dictionary....
I take it back the wa 7 is
when we clue with wa7/52, that means 7 letters and 52 points, beginning with wa
hey the big box store is in here... w**-M***

I am glad I am not the only one having that problem... every night at this time I have problems entering...
Whoops! for some reason, the clock said that there was < 1 minute left; I couldn't post and i couldn't enter words.
I've noticed everything slows down at about this time every night
I think that the game is trying to tell me to shut up and go to bed!
there must be some kind of techie changeover
I think the server reclaibarates at this time of night
maybe it's all those Brits logging on! ;)
Rule, Britannia!
no it's the whole darn world wide web.... lol
I am down to 91 but must be off to the bed.... see you all again soon...

oggy - nothing wrong with brits - we just had a lull here and looked forward to your imminent arrival
Hi jilli like your take on the icon theme today.
it is a bit quiet on the chat this morning.
Morning oggy, hows the grid going for you?
hubby started it before work and im having a go it seems a little hard
128 left
hi all :)
hi atalante
Hi - what's the grid like? I'm afraid to start it if I'm not going to get time to finish...
I've fare a bit better but can't see any new words now. Morning Atalante
i have not long got up perhaps the brains a bit slow.
hi matty
I'm finding it hard but then I'm half asleep
oh, how silly. of *course* arial is a word :)
Hi matty - so far it's on a par with yesterday's but I havent finished yet so there could be a sting in the tail.
Morning all :)
Morning sprite, how was summer school?
Very interesting! Learned a lot and I feel I am really almost ready for the exams in december :) Thanks for asking :)
what summer school did you go to, sprite??
Well thats a great feeling and position to be in with more than 3 months til the exams.
I am following a 3 year's course in advanced counseling.
I did some supervised sessions this time and they went very well. That's a relief ;)
oh coool!
Ata, did you see that Kushiel's D4 is in the grid today? I read the sequel, am saving the 3rd one for the holidays. Great sequel!
oh yes! do you love Joscelin more then ever now?
Absolutely! And Melisande is more intruiging than ever too. I just love the books, it is SO hard to leave #3 on the shelf, LOL.
Hmzzz... intriguing? I am at a loss here...
intriguing :)
the focus really switches a lot to Melisande (and Imri) from book 3 onwards ... she's such a wonderful character. More interesting than Phedre, I tend to think ...
Thanks! A real blind spot all of a sudden. I remember having such a blind spot with "yours sincerely" once at work... I started typing cins... and then couldn't remember the right spelling for the life of me!
I *hate* it when that happens!
Oh yes! I agree! Is Imri her son? I just can't wait to learn more about them.
yup, Imri's her son. he's a cutie!
da4,6? am i missing something really obvious?
scv: a very small arrow ;)
scv da4/6 they hold back water
Mothers
I ment for da 4/6
that's the one. thank you
Sorry, that was 4/5, I see. Ignore, please ;)
ooh thanks though. im sorry, didn't mean to ignore you.
Hi everyone. And the fathers (of sheep) are there too.
i hate asking for clues but sometimes im looking to hard and pass right over easy ones and it kills me.
LOL, you should ignore me when I am giving clues for things you did not ask! Hi Angb.
too* ? i've got it, too.
I know, I have the same thing sometimes. Words that almost jump out of the grid and I just cannot see them. Well, that's why we need our team, right? ;)
clue for al5/12 the first one please.
I hate grids like this, where you get loads of words and still don't get any greyed out boxes!
Too many letters the same, and they don't come from the box you want them too, ata. Did that make sense, possibly not.
I love them... I love that feeling of neverending possibilities, lol.
I would like to swap one of the m's for an n please
i was thinking that before, fmitch
There's a word for people like you sprite. OMG I can't remember it. A
true true! I do like a *few* feelings of having completed a letter though :P
i think i tried once anyway ;)
Oh yes, FMitch! Might give the total number of words a real push though!
Hehehe, Angb, now we are getting personal, right?"
Ah, didn't think of that aspect sprite :0
About the state of my brain? Yes!
I want to know that word for people like me! ;)
(never knew there WERE people like me, actually)
oggy al5/12 cottonwood tree
Sprite - you are unique
Sprite has no eq5/16
Well said and good morning Haz.
Good morning all!
i feel like i've been finding T words forever and i'm still not through
I am pretty sure "the" word is not Sa4/4, though!
Lol FMitch, aren't we all ;)
thanks frances
thanks frances
You're welcome oggy
Sorry Sprite. Had to read "Little Engine that could" to my 6 year old. A word that describes you? Hmmm ... clever LOL
morning everyon
sorry everyone
Sometimes I think reading to our kids is one of the best things we can do for them!
Morning Ruthy!
spritely. thats the best sprite word!
Oh look, a mate of Thomas's is in the puzzle.
hi ruthy
I can live with spritely, LOL!
That's Thomas the Tank Engine of course!
Can't stay awake - Good night all *poof*
jilli! *hug* and bye and sweet dreams to you, dear!
Nite jillibus
iz rolin on yet anyone
She's not in "who's on line", so I am afraid not.
She was on earlier
owww ok then iz her student my name was sydnie
Mornin' All. How's everyone today?
I always always always forget that Sn4. Somehow it doesn't stick to my grey matter.
Hi Odin :)
Hey Sprite!
Looks like I need to update my pic as I am still on yesterdays Op. Illusions.
I think you just need to refresh, though.
Anyone know where I can find the theme each day?
I see a very cool dog as your icon!
Odin - I think there is a link to babblers bio via Angelsongs resource page under Friends of Babble
Wow...I'm seeing yesterday's pic and I have refreshed several times. Thanks Fmitch I will check it out.
I don't like the Ha6/24-7/36 so close to the Im4/6-5/14 :(
im missing all but one of the ha's. why not, sprite? im guessing im missing it because i dont have those yet
Because I think Ha6 is never solving anything, though love might ;)
Amen, sprite
Hi everyone
Hi Pappou
woke up with a headache this morning, I guess it was the coffee I didn't drink yesterday.
Caffein deprivation... time for a nice cuppa and a little bit of babble then ;)
Hi Pappou
babble first coffee in about 2 hours, LOL
Just finished my first cuppa, hehe. Time for breakfast, I think.
Morning all. Just finished my first cuppa, too. Time for another...
Hi Jac, good morning :)
Morning Pap and Jac
morning odin and angb
morning all :) ...another nice grid today...
It's nice, sherb, morning! Some weird words, but also L4 of good ones.
Morning sherb. Thank goodness you've taken 'responsibility' for The Osmonds! *Thinks* Now who can I use? Depends on your definition of 'boy', I guess.... hmmm
what's the theme today?
Boy bands, Pappou.
(But I'm still on my optical illusion. Explanation of it in my profile below all the recycling info.)
ah, need to look later on
an excuse to have a cheesy icon and im not pro. sad.
I like the icon, Jac. Just tried it and it works fine this size.
morning sprite... I'll probably spend the rest of the day looking for the weird ones... morning Jac... so many to choose from, but help me out by choosing something e5ly embarrassing...
got one
For me the Wa7/8 is really weird.
I guess not, let me try that again
is that the Monkees?
How about The Bay City Rollers, they are pretty cheesey Morning sherb and Jacs
there it is
Sherb - It's done! REFRESH.
morning FMitch :)
FMitch - already done!
yes,the monkees
oh yes!! classic...
Morning. Don't mention Bay City Rollers. I used to edit their fanzine!!!
when i hear boy band i think new kids on the block lol :)
Brill Jacs so wonderfully awful
come on FMitch... stop sticking with that safe sunset...
I remember when they first came onto the scene, I used to rush home to watch them
FMitch - let's see The Jackson 5 or The Rubettes!
Pappou - I did, too! (Still have the album on vinyl.)
Suagr Baby Love, Sugar Baby Love...
hydra - Did you? Tell us more...
*whispers: fireworks, does anyone need clues?*
Jacula, i had all their albums, gave them to my nephew awhile back. I bet they're worth something
Congrats sprite
Wow! Well done, sprite.
hi all!
yay, sprite, too early for me, I still need 182
...I never meant to hurt yoooou! Sugar Baby love, ugar baby love...
WELL DONE, SPRITE!
yay sprite!!
(95 to go here.)
hi Franmag... champion of wordbuilder :) :) :)
hi sherb!
Hi Franmag. Finally got into the site using my BabAnon version of my net name. Need to get a feel for the games now.
(Quote-puzzler, I meant.)
jac, i played for a week without reading the directions! once i read them, the games became much easier!!
FranMag - your icon. *Big grin*
me too, Fran!! and they say it's men who don't read instructions...
yes jac, i added my personal touch! :-)
haha, fran :)
Why DON'T men read instructions? It's always puzzled me.
i read directions for electronic things, i guess i thought the games would be more intuitive.
they always know better...
Oh, like they always know the way to places...
almost everyone went old school with their "boy" bands. i think mine is the only one so far from the 90s!
i helped an ex-boyfriend install a new water heater once.
i wish i could join you. no 80;s either?
Psst! Fran... it has to do with age, methinks.:)
fran, what's yours, with my headache I can't see it clearly
if i hadn't been following along with the instructions he would have removed a very important heat activated valve!!!
well, I did think about pretending I was younger... Take That maybe... but decided to bare all...
So, you saved the day Fran.:)
pappou, it's the backstreet boys as cartoons on Arthur (PBS show)
cool, I like that
Bit chilly to bare all, sherb. My heating was on this morning!
as well as my mother's house!
I went to one of their concerts with my niece, oh my, was that an experience. Give me Barry Manilow anyday, LOL
that's shameful, Jac... you should just put on another woolly!!
Of course, all women are Mensa (or better) and humble beyond reproach!
jacula, send some cool my way or I can send you about 10 degrees from here
Pappou - I had to trail round the country to evey Peter Andre concert in the 90s with my daughter!
sherb - the heating put itself on.
I'm sitting here in an ankle length skirt and two long sweaters...
Morning all - I've had my heating on too!
i didn't know who peter andre was so i googled.. he's kind of scary looking.
shorts and tee shirts here waiting to get ready for school
OldRottenHat - are you a woman, or are you being ironic? ;)
OldRottenHat - Naturally! *Polishes halo.*
Had to chicken out with the icon. Felt this covered a multitude of sins.
I think it was Nancy Astor who said that she'd married beneath herself - and then added that all women do.
odds are 7 to 1 that ORH is a woman, so I think she is just stating the obvious.
Pappou - where in the States are you? ...your profile is quite minimal...
sherb, I'm in Florida, Tampa Bay area
Frances - Do you own that album??
No
Frances you coward... reveal your true colours... :)
Pap, I'm in South Fla. other coast
ah, which explains why it's warm... :)
I'm more of a G4 type of person
the beach is in my backyard, but do I go out there? too hot, LOL
hello neighbor
I was more into T Rex, Black Sabbath, Alic Cooper, David Bowie etc., in the 70s. Not the BC Rollers!
for a moment, I though G4 was a word clue...
lol, me too
same here pappou! we went around the island today in our air-conditioned van!!
*Alice
I was in Ft. Lauderdale yesterday at the casino...when I came out the car temp was 101.
Wicked hot!
how was it odin?we have the one in tampa, but it's an hour away and I don't like the machines
so what makes a boy band a boy band? ...
haha, there's a wiki deifnition..
sherb - I wondered that earlier.
It basically is high stakes slots. Many nickle machines require a max bet of 45 in order to win top pay off.
scv - what is it?
share scv.
cheesiness has to be in there somewhere...
oh its long..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Band
OK I've changed.
I just can't get to Vegas right now because of work and needed a gambling fix *grinning ear to ear*
i'm thinking 'boys' are part of the equation.
do they still have the bingo cards atttached in order to win or are they like vegas slots
though thats what im familiar with
I was in vegas the last week of june
EVERY frickin' machine has bingo and you cannot win on a pay line if you do not have a bingo on the top game!
yup, that's the way it is in tampa, that's why I won't go
I go to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year but do to an acquistion going on I can't get time away. My Sis has a condo there.
I wish someone would acquisition my mom's home, we have it up for sale, LOL
I was in East Overshoe last week. Reported on an all-school reunion. All the schools were in attendence, including pre-school.
Sales in housing over here have slowed dramatically.
Okay, i haven't found a single word since joining the chat log! (okay, so i haven't looked either)
fran, I still have 15o to go
okay, not feeling so behind anymore. :-)
145 here
I'm just going through my list looking for missing plurals etc... my last five words yesterday were all obvious ones...
Finally decided on the ultimate 'boy' band.
that's a great one Frances!
They don't come much better.
fits the definition at wikipedia somewhat as well!
good one Frances :)
Thank you
Just took some time out to watch Boyzone's first appearance on TV on Ireland's Late Late Show. Do watch it - it's hilarious! Link is: http://www2.youtube.com/watch?v=hr2ZKh V6eKc&search=boyzone%20late%20late
Here's an excerpt from the wiki entry: Although they are referred to as "bands", they rarely play instruments, and the acts are essentially vocal harmony groups
I'm going to go, this headache is turning into a migraine and I'm getting sick to my stomach, see you all tonight
bye pappou! hope you feel better soon!
hope you feel better soon Pappou... :)
Bye Pappou. Hope you feel better soon.
'Bye Pappou.
Bye Pap!
good evening everyone
Hi lynxx.

jac, that video is absolutely hilarious!!!
bye sha!!
bye sha :)
It is, Fran! That 'dancing'!
thank you, but what do the numbers mean? can you tell I'm new?
8 letters, 70 points. so the tiles would add to 14? im not sure if thats correct, i'm pretty new myself.
misspips, it starts with wa, it's 8 letters long and it's worth 70 points.
ok i get it now..thank you
Morning all. I have the wa/52 and its plural does anyone have a hint for the other wa/52 please.
jac, funniest part was them trying to defend themselves to the host!!
morning carolecs :)
misspips - SCORING Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word: 4-letter word = 1 x Points 5-letter word = 2 x Points 6-letter word = 3 x Points 7-letter word = 4 x Points 8-letter word = 5 x Points 9-letter word = 6 x Points Example: Word: BABBLE Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1) Total: 36 pts.

Good morning sherb.
Off to work...GL all!
bye odin!
Its ok, just found it, all of the same ilk I see, thanks anyway.x
bye Odin :)
a QUOLL is an Australian marsupial - just in case no-one else has registered an official complaint (!)
no Darth... or Tamla...
Darth should definitely be allowed!
lynxxx... I am very disturbed by the quoll not being allowed here!
i was thinking it would be fun to have one odd word/name/reference just for fun
thats me finished
bye everyone
hi Ata and mrp :)
bye hannah
or i could say fun eleven times
hi atalante and mrp and hannah lou!
hi sherb and ata!!
hi... bye hannah :)
yay hannah lou!!!
and how do you think I feel !- nothing to do with not being able to find the others Qs though! how are you MRP?
bye hannah lou!
Hannah - Congrats
LOL lynxxx...you must have a qu5/19 with this grid! I am upset with it too!
With all the upsetting this site causes, are there EMTs on duty 24/7?
I don't know what an EMT is ??
perhaps I don'
EMT? ....extra marital ???? ....'cuse my ignorance oldrottenhat (lovely name) what does EMT mean?
don't watch enough TV
emergency medical technician
ah! I am a certified troll doctor!
unfortunately, their survival rate is only 5% !!
the A's are spread out all over the place!!
I've just realised I have no A's from the right top corner. LOL
Good to have a troll doctor. Mayhap a sense-of-humor doctor would be an appropriate addition?
OldRottenHat, you have the job!
anyone have the al5/12 please?
I suspect it would be a mission impossible.
mrp al5/12 cottonwood tree
mrp, remember the al***
think Davy Crockett :)
i guess the fort was named after the tree.
ah!! thanks guys!!
You would just get killed in the rush oldrottenhat - humour is not lacking here!
LOL lynxxx... my little quoll friend! can you believe they did have numbat in the grid once!!
speaking of humour... just found the mi5/14...
and cooee and other odd words - rita being a personal favorite - this is the charm of babble - you just never know - and that is why we love Lickety as well.
ma6/21 pretty please??? and how many ways can you spell cooee I ask you!! I didn't know of the variations until I started this game!
don't have that yet mrp.
ma 6/21 = a rug + what's left over with the last consonant
can't work out how six words come from the second m...
I meant with out the last consonant. Or a play on Latin mothers
TY ang
ty ang!
phantom: macaw
YW lynxxx and FranMag
phantom: slalom
phantom: thar
my personal struggle was the american spelling vs the english spelling... I could never work out where the I went in aluminium
slalom? good one!
phantom: wallow
and mallow
morning all- mata hari
hi beebee~
morning beebee
morning beebee :)
Yes saw that one too. There are too many to list today
Bye the way - morning beebee
does today's grid seem more trying than yesterday's? or is it because i'm still sleepy?

nite MRP
g'night mrpresident
anyone have a clue for se7?
sorry fran
Haven't got se/7, sorry :(
ps that means no - not got yet
thanks, will keep trying then, it's my last one, does anyone need a clue?
Fran - Passover celebration (plural of) se** + 3-letter word meaning 'edge' (of a glass/cup)
thanks jac!! fireworks!!
ahh - it all comes back - that one has had us all guessing once before - TY Jac
Congrats Fran !
y/w, both.
well, i won't miss that one again (famous last words)
Until the next time... *grins* (Only got it myself by monkey typing.)
FranMag - Did you watch that Boyzone video I put the link up for earlier?
i did jac, very funny. i loved the very dry delivery of the first guy, and the disdain of the other host that was totally lost on the poor boys!!
The 'dancing' was something else too, wasn't it?
It's still shown on TV to embarrass them now. When Ronan Keating was on, Parkinson (I think it was), they showed it. He was writhing in horror.:)
as the first guy says, you expect them to WOW us and then they start dancing and we're like...what is that??
The crotch-clutching had me in hysterics.
i guess the main thing about "boy bands" is they take themselves very seriously.
That seemed to be a 'dancing' thing from 80s onwards for lads - point, clutch, squeak, point, clutch, squeak...
lol jac!
and madonna! don't forget her doing that move.
Ah well, Madge is a completely different kettle of fish. Not a fan myself.
I love her music, but don't know when she decided she was british.
ok ok ok, you two have me interested... what is the link??
Hello Jac!!
I'll find it for you, MrP. (Go to the loo whilst you're waiting!)
Boyzone link: http://www2.youtube.com/watch?v=hr2ZKh V6eKc&search=boyzone%20late%20late
Will I need to go to the loo so I don't pi** myself laughing? :D
Yup!
ok!!
Jac, I got a page on youtube, but not the video
Oh, I just HAD to watch it again! Double crotch clutching (them and me!)
MRP -the video should just play. Hang on
Ages since I last saw that. Cracks me up every time.
double crotch clutching!! sounds like a party is on at Jac's!!
Did you put the whole link in?
Frances - Now you have the link, you can watch it any time.:)
*Thunders off to loo*
yep! bugger!
Don't think my tear ducts would stand it!
oh man!! I am missing out!!
i loved the "one hour later..." caption
brb - phone
mrp, did you cut and paste both lines of the link?
good morning all - off to find an icon for today, and hope to finish today's grid - didn't get to come back last nite, so left 20 words sitting. Le sigh
you all tease!!
if you'r on youtube mrp, do a search for boyzone and late late show.
too bad wolvie!
mrp, i just emailed you the link, it will come as a youtube mail.
thanks!

Good morning everybody!

morning, ch1212, jera
morning Jera, and ch
Question of the day... why is quoll not accepted??
Is that rhetorical, jera ? :)
Probably, LOL... unless someone knows the rhyme or reason of Enable...
Because Enable has disabled it! That's Babble, Jera.
morning, all!
malls
*feels so sorry for the poor, disabled little quolls*
I une -- great icon!
oops!
thanks :-)
Jera - Lol*
where's everybody's boy band??
Have to have a QuollAid concert!
I'm here, Jacs, and I saw a couple others earlier
Hi une
hey, wolvie
Good morning/ day everyone
good morning abe!
you all have fabulous icons today!
hi abe!
What is today's theme supposed to be?
hey Wolvie and Ch
boy bands!
Boy bands, Jera.
If you scroll back you'll find a link I put up to Boyzone's first appearance on TV. It's hilarious.
mornin babblers!!
hello evanadine!
morning, eva!
*never one to go along with the crowd (unless it's something really fun) Jera decides to use a protest icon today*
you go for it, jera!
ewww, is that a possum??
i never liked boy bands...until mine came along! hehe
Nope, it's a quoll!
I decided my 'boys' are the tops
I like them too, Frances :)
frances, LOL!
Wow, I've never heard anyone go ewww after seeing a quoll...
well - off to run errands, hope to return this evening. :-)
So thats what a quoll looks like....
Later, Wolvie! Have fun!
bye wolvie!
brb myself -- coffee time
later, wolvie!
bye Wolvie
Jera - this pic's good:http://www.viridans.com/abc/q4qu/ q4qu1.gif
Good Morning All, what does the 8 start with please.
Hey, Jera, always wanted to know what a quoll looked like :)
Hey, Jera, always wanted to know what a quoll looked like :)
Hey, Jera, always wanted to know what a quoll looked like :)
Great pic Jac
I didn't mean to post three times, problems with site again
They are so cute, I love 'em... but I really want a wombat...
They are so cute, I love 'em... but I really want a wombat...
Me, too!
I think there are problems, took me a long time to get in
good morning all
hey flosey
hi abe
morning, flosey!
Greetings, flosey!
Hi, abe... didn't see you come in...
Hi jera
does anyone have the 8 letter word yet
none here peri, I just came in
nope but FYI it's wa8/80
thank you Une, will look for it
wa6/36 through to the 2nd wa7/52 are all to do with variant spellings of an old Scandanavian coarse woollen cloth.
Jacula, that clue really did not help me, but thanks anyway
(Sounds like a stack of notes that the gangster's girlfriend is holding.)
Hi Jera!
Hello everyone. Only just come in, what ir the grid like today. I only just finished yesterdays by the skin of my teeth.
Hello ExWren - not too bad. Only 4 re's.:)
Hi ExWren..........love the icon
Hi Jacula, I was just reading your recycling notes
ExWren - Hope you find them useful!
brb... potty break...
Thank you Frances, I thought that would be different!
thanks for the 8 Jacula
y/w abe (all the others are variants)
Mind you Frances, yours isn't exactly a Boy Band either!
Depends what you class as 'boys'....
thanks, jac--finally got all those variants!
y/w Une.
I had G4 earlier but decided these were superior!
Well my lot aren't boys any more, they are nearly all senior citizens
But boys will be boys eh
now there's a group I'd enjoy hearing exwren
I'm back... what did I miss?
good news, picture fans, the link to our europe pictures is up, i've posted it in my grand tour thread on babanon :)
Hursh - I shall go and look.
Ooh, millions of pics. I'll look properly later. Thanks, Hursh!
yeah i don't know if he put them all up or left out some that were very similar to other shots, but in total there were 800 something.
what is this, spy day? mata hari is in here :)
Morning ladies (and gentlemen?)! How is the grid? I have a rare 10 min. before work. Of course, I have all day AT work. :)
It's boy band day... but we are using the term "boy" quite loosely & I'm protesting...
Greetings, Krista!
Hi Krista. Duran Duran, eh?
That's who I would have picked Krista! Love 'em!
yeah, lame, I know
I still like their music, Jera! It wasn't all about the looks for me. ;)
Same here, Krista... I still belt out Hungry like the Wolf when it comes on the radio!
Jacula..I remember the Bay City Rollers. My first impression of them was what funny names they had! (funny to a little American kid)
great choice, Krista!
Krista - I wasn't a Bay City Rollers fan.
Just read your profile, Jera. I'm a JR leader, too. Thanks, Abe! I was already 'old' when NKOTB was popular. :(
Well, their pic is good for a laugh, Jacula!
Hurshy great pics. I can only see 20. Don't know if there should be more.
I have fireworks!:)
I never really got into NKOTB... I was a bit too old & my daughter was a bit too young...
Huzzah for Jacula!! *throws confetti*
Do you have a daughter in Scouts, krista, or are a leader just for fun?
Yay Jacula!!! And here I am just starting.
they weren't much to look at (in retrospect). Duran Duran has more longevity as an actual band!
yay Jacula!
*Jac checks she's not wearing a white meringue dress. Okay, Jera. Thanks. Spits out bits of coloured paper.*
Daughter, age 10.5. We have a very small troop (5 girls). We do have a lot of fun.
Don't worry Jacs, it's biodegradeable
The way they are changing the councils around, we may end up in the same one!
Wow, Krista, we have a lot in common... we just got our 5th Girl & my daughter turned 10 in April... the tweens have set in! *cringes in fear*
Hello everyone, I'm avoiding work as usual!
no 'tara'...shocking, has mr babble never been to liverpool
You're not in Shawnee Council, are you?
Got lots to do (including shaping up that travelog of mine!). BBL to chat and clue.
I never thought they were attractive Abe, but I wasn't of that age, so thought it was just me!
Yes, we are in Shawnee.
Bye Jac!!
No quoll, ether, sean!!! I'm protesting with my icon!!
seano..someone else had the same icon last night - thought that was unusual
Wow, Krista... I used to live near Winchester... we are in Nation's Cap now, but we still go "back home" to visit alot. Did you go to the New Year's thing in Winchester this past weekend?
ah, you don't like rat- tail hairstyles Krista? COME ON...lol
seano - you can extend Cilla's goodbye for a ta6/21. (Think fishy Greek dip.)
LOL! I know, I"m a loser, Abe.
Really going for now. Byeee.
LOL Krista, you picked Duran Duran, I'M a loser :) bye Jacula
No, I didn't. I admit I am not into the admin stuff as much as I should be. I just read more of your profile. Here's another commonality - my daughter has PDD-NOS (on autism spectrum).
I think there will be many more NKOTB icons than DD, though.
i am trying with your clue jacula...no luck so far!
seano, are you stuck on the 8?
I'm getting more into the admin stuff with Shawnee (we have dual mebership) cuz they NEED IT!! Yikes. They love me at the office. I'm always planning stuff.
Ye gods... I forgot today is my morning to bike!! Back in half an hour...
Sean ta6/21 - Cilla saying goodbye to her Mum. Try that.
Any hints please last cl6,30
I'm gone!
yep, Shawnee is a disaster. that's part of the reason we just do our own thing and stay out of the "politics!"
Off to work for me. Heigh ho, heigh ho.
useless Babble word: Atari
verna - last cl6/30 = A cotton, silk, or rayon fabric with a raised woven pattern and a puckered or quilted look. (From the French for 'blister'.)
(Sounds like what a superhero, a nurse or a highwayman might wear around their shoulders.)
Thank you Jacula got it.
good clues, jacula - thanks
fresh-baked blueberry muffins for everybody!! :D
mmmmmm ... thanks, evanadine!
yummy, thanks evanadine. pass the butter please
they may not be from scratch, but they ARE homemade! hehe
that's okay -- I'm having my homemade Mexican pie for breakfast, and the cornbread topping is definitely not from scratch! :)
ooh, yummy!!
Here (passes evanadine a plate) -- see what you think
I don't cook much but this is one of my favorite recipes
my roommates made enchiladas yesterday, so im definitely in a mexican mood!
what is in mexican pie ch?
This has lean shredded beef, cream style corn, black olives, chopped onions, chili seasoning, green chilies, diced tomatoes with garlic, shredded cheddar cheese, and topped with corn bread topping that is made with mozerella cheese melted into it.
The corn bread topping is the 'pie crust'
But the real trick to it is to make it a day or two ahead of time, because the longer it sits in the fridge, the better it is on reheating! No kidding!
oh yeah...gotta let all those flavors blend together... mmmmmm............onions, chilies, and peppers.............
that sounds delicious! cornbread is one of my favorite foods
sounds great ch, never heard of it
phantom word: tomato
brown the beef and onions first, then drain the fat, then add in the other ingredients and simmer for 25 minutes. Then pour mix into pie pan or other baking dish, top with cornbread mix (add mozerella into mix) and bake at 400 for around 20-25 degrees. Easy peasy and delicious!
Add your chili seasoning to taste -- some people like more to make it 'hotter' --- the play of flavors between the sweetness of the corn, the heat of the chilies, the coolness of the cheese is great
any hints for the 8? (and if its related to a 7, i dont have that yet either...hehe)
I don't have either, evanadine - sorry
i have the 8, hang on, i'll clue ya
we're hanging :)
wa 8/70- large pile of cash + shopping centers(change vowel). if you do some variations on this word, you will get the wa 7/52's and wa 6/36
trim
*oopsie*
Whew... I'm back... *gasp* *pant*
OMG what a great word for Babble!! (the wa8 and 7 that is)
welcome back Jera!
hi jera -- breathe... in and out ...
I had never heard them before, Ch. Jacula gave great clues before (including the definitions) but I forgot them
interesting...
I'm upping my biking time every week... Mondays are the hardest... I'm up to 25 minutes...
anyone here ever read Fark.com ?
it's a word describing unscrambling words, and making two words in one by combining letters inside a different word. Haven't read Fark.com -- what is it?
*drinks whole bottle of water in 3 gulps*
ch -- its a site where people post links to funny/stupid news stories from all over the world...
Jera I'm deeply impressed --- you have discipline! eva I'll check it out - sounds fun
Thanks, ch1212... that's very encouraging...
my ex has hit photo posted as one of their photoshops for today... :/
Okay, so I have a question... after I work up to 30 minutes 3x's a week... the next week should I do 15 minutes every day? I
LOL Jera -- nice try!
d like to get to 30 minutes daily... or should it not be so drastic a shift down?
i t hink 30 min, 3 x a week is better b/c you give yourself a day of rest every other day.
yeah, i dont think youre supposed to cut back the time...if anything, add a day in or something...
Have you heard about that exercise machine that won an award for most innovative invention? People work out on it for FOUR MINUTES a day, and it's the equivalent of 45 minutes aerobic workout. Unfortunatley, the machine costs over $14,000.
I'm wondering what the next increase should be though...
and i've heard it's better to keep your heartrate up for at least 30 minutes (i'm an exercise n4/5)
four minutes a day!
ch1212, if I had $14,000 available for workout stuff, I'd check myself into a clinic...
ch -- is that the one where you stand on it + it vibrates?
I read recently that 30 minutes 5x'z a week is the healthy aerobic level...
:D Jera... It's true, abe -- I was reading about it our latest issue of "Scientic American". Apparently it's been around since the early 90's.
That is one SCARY mental image, evanadine, LOL
i've found that 4-5 days is a nice goal b/c it gives you a chance to rest your muscles. do you bike outdoors or indoors Jera?
No, evanadine -- this looks like a regular type of exercise machine, part bike, part pulleys, etc. It's the design that is supposed to be innovative.
Two things have gotten me hyped up... an exercise buddy & keeping track of things on mycaloriecounter.com
i wish i had 14,000 to spend on exercise!
this is the machine ir ead about: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/page s/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.ht ml?in_article_id=396365&in_page_id=177 3
evan - which one is your ex?
My stationary bike is set up in the back yard, abe... that's why I have to get out there early, before it gets too hot... I usually try to be done by 9
I just found the website from the magazine: www.fastexercise.com
oh that sounds lovely! exercise in the morning can be so therapuetic, a nice way to start the day (besides babble of course)
lmu -- todays "Photoshop this farker for his 30th birthday" thats my ex
*suddenly realizes she STILL has 66 words to find*
jera -- still 100 here...heh
Yup, my plan is to sneak up on myself psychologically before I am awake enough to think up excuses not to exercise, LOL
LOL -- I like that approach, Jera!!
an excellent plan!
jacula, if you are still there, i had to read back to get your clue for the ta6, got it now! (Son needed jigsaw assistance!)
It's quite lovely... we have a HUGE back yard (1 acre lot, tiny house) & my bike is set up right next to my daughter's flower garden... huge butterfly bush... birds in the oak trees... very peaceful...
I'll be right back -- have been trying to think of a REAL boy band and just had a "DUH" moment -- there is one whose parents live next door to us. brb - going to find a photo
The other day our local groundhog came out & rambled around, totally used to the crazy lady pedalling away...
Okay, does anyone have that darn al5/12... it's driving me nuts!
Jera, "Remember the AL****"
*smack*
Jera, not just a little bit
Seriously, I didn't think that would be legal, being a proper place name & all.. but then Enable doesn't know what a quoll is...
double consonant
Jera hopefully you have some privacy in your back yard, especially for your spiritual needs. And if the groundhog is feeling safe around you, you must be beautifully 'grounded'! (SMACK to myself on the AL 5/12 too!!)
I thought the AL word was a proper name.
I'm very fortunate in that way, ch1212... nice viney fence...
oooh, I love vines!
learning moment--had no idea--al*** is a poplar tree
ah, thanks une!
tomato?
You mean the remembering one? It's a tree, too? Good to know!
ah word, I missed that al5/12, any more clues, not familiar with 'place'
the one we usually think of as a building in San Antonio
"we" Americans, that is!
lol, not familiar to me
any clues?
small pup announcing we MUST go outside . . . BBL
Later, Une!
okay, the boy band in my icon are "The Standards" who grew up next door with my daughter. They were all in musical theatre together. They have several CD's out, do national tours, and are really quite good.
flosey - think of Davy Crockett...
also a rental car company
LOL Sherb -- The Osmonds!! The Standards are also LDS, and are all brothers, like the Osmonds.

If you google limeliters, you can find this season's concert listings and photos.

yay verna
hello there!
ping y-m-c-a
hi Ping!
YAY Verna!
Hi Ping!
hi ping! stid!
ping...do you have a macho macho man?
WTG VEMA!
hi stidmatt!
.... it's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a-a...
congrats verna!!
hi muse!
thank you fellow babblers.
Verna -- isn't guy fawkes the guy who tried to blow up parliament and then ended up having his head on london bridge?
stid, i think my icon is a little passive aggressive or something - i keep thinking i should change it
Hi all newcomers
hey nan!
you can hang out with all the boys
Hi cybernan!
and muse!
hooray for verna!
I always liked the Village People myself -- their music was fun and funky, and they were just weird enough to make my parents uncomfortable but not so obnoxious that I couldn't stand them...
hi chj and stidmatt
hello all. any clues for the first al4 and 5
ping no dont change...we love it
Oh no, Ping -- the Village People were one of my kids's favourites that I liked!
hi peps :)
WTG MUSE!!!
I have a teeny 115 words remaining, LOL and trying very hard to enjoy searching today.
thanks - stid we must me the same age - only my parents didn't pay much attention to things like that
and you cant resist dancing to it, no matter how corny it is
OH, sorry, oh well!
you shorty
Hi shorty! how is your daughter doing now? has she found a new place?
i meant: yo shorty
nope no place yet thanks for asking she still emotional and probably will be for a while
burp...i'm back!
for my parents, the Beatles were too modern... they listened to the Glen Miller(?) and other big bands, and they had "sing along with Mitch" albums (3 or 4)...
I have 44 left, but think I will have to resort to the list if I don't want to be here all day!
i never can remember the details about guy fawkes but i think he comes up in lots of the shakespeare plays
lol, stidmama --- so did mine!
rennie...i went pyro while you were gone...now im into the shower
excuse you?
my mom like glen campbell, my dad liked man of la mancha
was that an orange burp
pyros! yay chj!!! now it's time to put out the fire!
shorty, one of my biggest fears is fire. Don't know why. Maybe in a former life that's how I died. But I know it will take her a while, and PTSD is a real problem. I really hope she can be patient with herself and heal.
YAY renfield!
yes orange burp..
But you see, Nan... my parents are your age! LOL
to go where the brave dare not go
Wasn't the movie V for Vendetta related to Guy Fawkes?
Changed icon!
to right the unrightable wrong
Ping, I turned 40 in June -- as my elder child says, "halfway to old!"
chj - your comment about the boy band theme is similar -- but much more articulate than mine.
this is my quest
Ping,sorry but you are way off track about Guy Fawkes. I have to go shopping now, but on return I'll type up his story for you. Verna was referring to him becausen Nov.5--his anniversary date--peopole in England build bonfires and let off fireworks. But I promise I'll tell you all about it ;later--on babanon
to follow that star
no matter how hpeless
stidmatt--I keep meaning to ask if you've ever read the Charlie Bone series. They're sort of like HP, except shorter!
Thats thats the same Guy Fawkes.
see you soon hetty! :-)
no matter how far
i'm 43 - but i pretend to be 40 - to myself anyway
I told her she always has a place here if no where else but she wants to be independant which is a good thind I wish her brother would take after her :)
chj -- are you tilting at windmills AGAIN? *giggle*
sorry, folks, i cant help it
I have four tr's beginning with the 3 prefix letters -- any more?
hetty, i will look forward to that story -happy outing!
no matter how far/To reach for the right--without hindrance or pause--to be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause--
so k chj i always battle windmills!
go for it chj!
yes, it is good for her to be independent -- and knowing that she has you to turn to will make that independence easier. bless you, shorty, for being there for her.
I think maybe I should stick to saying fireworks instead of Guy Fawkes!!!!
And I know, If I'll only be true to my heavennly quest--
Verna, that's how everyone learns new things!
thank you stidmama I appreciate that
hetty-you're giving me a flashback--Junior Miss Pageant, 1968
My heart will be tranquil, at peace, when I'm laid to my rest
what's up with "await" not being recognized?
any clues for the ta6/18?
i asked before but got no replies. clues for the first al 4 and 5 please.
hetty -- it had better be many years before that 12:14 post comes to pass!
lala - worked for me...
it should be lala
hmmm.... tried again and it worked. Thanks. Sorry for saying a word.
worked for me too, lala...
await is not in the grid...
lala -- you're in the grid!
nd the world willl be better by far/ cos one man,tired and covered with scars?Still strov, with his last ounce of courage/ To reach the unreachable stars
liba-- try it again...
al + 2 vowels, latin ending
i just spend all of 5 seconds on wikipedia and it looks like there was a guy fawkes in shakespeare's day - something about the gunpowder plot?
sorry, it is
i know! do i get a prize or something?
al5 is the one Texans always remember
hi there, lib!
magzel - the first al4 is a plural of a word for "wings", the second is a place texans should never forget
magzel al5/12 is what Texans always remember
ty, had missed that!
hi Lib!
hi ping!
at least 2 texans in the room, got that one frances
hello, MM!
lala, you should have been here last night - people were offering me cookies to accidentally put words in the log
yes, that was the parliament building thing I was talking about -- it was discovered before any damage was done -- but it was the first domestic terrorism plot of such huge proportions...
I'e finished tilting at my windmill. TTFN
i can be bribed with cookies.
i can be bribed with cookies.
I think V for Vendetta was based on that stid
interesting, stid - what are hetty and verna talking about?
one more time, lala?
remember the 5th of november-- guy fawkes day...
anyone have the at5 and 6?
that's guy fawkes -- he was the ringleader of the plot to blow up the parliament building.
sorry...i had to finish up amn of la mancha in the shower...it sounded much better in there
was hetty talking about someone else?
i have the at5... it's the plural of a big open space in a building
there was a lot of political unrest in his day, and many (most?) people were really unhappy with the government. It was a time of change and flux, and people were choosing sides.
I think hetty was talking about Don Quixote... that's the song chj was singing, anyway
ty, i got the 6 from that too
PING, I'm going to post Guy Fawkes' story on Babanon later today. It's a cautionary tale, nd tyhe conspirators who escaped retribution holed up in the town where I was born--there is a street called "Spie Lane" there and lots of legends
nothing changes stid.
anybody with the ta6/18 yet?
true, calqhoon... the same themes over and over. Which is why Homer's tales, and Shakespeare's, and the Bible are still relevant today.
Stid, I was singing abot Don Quixote and talking about Guy Fawkes--tho they had a lot in common I would never confuse them.Can't you tell when I'm singing?
i really want "slalom" and "salmon" to be in the grid...
hi all. Krys10, aren't you posting clues today? ;)
acoustics chj?
ta 6/18 not short and 4th vowel and a stick letter
ta6/18 = opp short + alcoh**
I can tell, hetty, dear! your lovely voice carries all the way to Olympia!
Err, I mean words in the chat box?
amen to that! back to work! bye!
better than carnegie hall
My husband had me save some fireworks from July 4 to burn on GF Day..wants to confuse the neighbors! ...Was V for Vendetta good?
To reach the unreachable stars!!!!
later Ping!
sing it hetty
wow, thanks...would never have gotten that
Stid, I tried slalom, too..why isn't it in there?
atai
woops again
because the only spelling that almost works is "slolam"...
missing an la 5 from the bottom row -- any clues?
I enjoyed it and my son as well - it tied in with all his history and English readings
nevermind, forgot it wasn't in the grid!
never mind -- missed a plural!
hi nef - no one's offered me cookies yet ;)
Magzel, it's nice to put real words in the chat box if'n you want to put them in the wrong box! :D (I'm always messing up myself)
Have a cookie!
muse, thanks for the ta 6! any idea what it means? it wasn't in the dictionary...
done! what do you want, torgone?
Oh, thanks Muse. I didn't get to see it at the theater; will have to put it in my Blockbuster que.
hi torgone!
ok i gotta run out, sorry ren, ill see you later tonight
you know Guy Fawkes wasn't the leader of the GUnpowder Plot - he was just the fall guy of the lot of them and the one that ended up dying and in history!
who are the japanese fellows in your icon, tor?
fireworks Krys10?
no clue stid
ok chj - i've got to work right now...see ya
14 grey boxes, time for a break
aha! {{{Atalante}}} and that also is just like today, isn't it?
No idea, stid .. Found them in a google image search ..
wow harpjane, I bow to your excellence!
its the japanese menudo
no no, nef, i mean the bribing with cookies was successfully accomplished by torgone, was wondering whether he wanted any clues
Atal, if he was just the fall guy; it's nice that he ended up so well known then
utterly like today!
oh brother, stidmama, it's more lack of any other life....
of the cl's, I have 2 x cl 6/30 -- what 6 am I missing?
how's the weather in SanDiego today, tor? still decent or is it getting warm again? It's starting to heat up here, but not horrible yet.
cybernan lots of LLLs
LOL chj!
poof here
any clues for the al 5,10 and 6,18?
Just offering cookies for now Krys ..
need some help with the cl's-- the first cl 6/24 and the nest 5/14 and then the last 6/30. that's a lot but thanks in advance
thanks torgone :)
Looking for the third cl 6 ( have the two 30's)?
cl6 the group of organisms right after clothed
Hi stidmama, have been away for my evening meal, back to the drawing board!
i do want a cookie before i go back to work....
blonde give money to ?
last cl 30: homonym for sleeveless coat
Mid-70's all week, stid .. not bad ..
al == to divide and pleural
I would like to get the 8 before I go back to my house and yard tasks... I know it's a WA, but couldn't understand the clues late last night. Any ideas?
Hi ExWren! good to see you :-)
magzel, I have the cl6/24, but not the rest. c+young boy+ 2 letter plural
Cookie for renny!
ah - cl 6/24 a plural of the 5 -- found it!
oops...accidently got 2... 8-D
*** of chewing gum + gangsters' girls
wa7,8 = a wa* of money & gangster's girlfriend(s)
stidmama -- I think it's a plural but don't have the 7 or the 8
thanks torgone and muse!
*weird* words!
that is so nice to see that box grayed out... :-)
thanks torg..(munch munch)..for the cookie and clues
thanks, mymuse and torgone -- great clues, weird words!
very weird, Atalante! but I'll take weird over boring (almost) any day.
good clue torgone, I was just trying to think how to clue it!
There are a couple more that rhyme ..
missing an a from the bottom corner -- any ideas? -- have the 4/5
ok! I just finished all my C's - did people who wanted cl-clues get helped?
ooh -- found it!
Stid, did the troll finally leave last night?
love those grey squares!
the 21 year old troll
yes, I wrote to Dr. God and it disappeared -- I don't know if he did anything, or if it just got scared when I said I had written him. I tried so hard to be patient and stay out of it... *sigh* but I just had enough!
krista, I don't think she's reappeared
she did krista
i know she and Ren were IMing :)
clue please for the ta 6/21 that follows scottish caps? thanks!
I think it was really a slimy 45 year old man sitting in some putrid apartment in Los Angeles...
we had another troll? *sigh* don't they ever get bored!!
I was thinking about that whole thing last night... if she was really 21, it was sad to me that she finds more gratifying social contact pretending to be 11.
i was gonna kick her tuchis!
ta 6/21: Scarlett's home + short mother
Hello All... am new here
thank you cybernan -- perfect clue
Yes, it's always a hard call--to ignore or confront. I agree, Stid, "she'" didn't seem to be what she was portraying herself as, either time.
hi ursdeep welcome to babble
thanks mymu..me
welcome ursdeep, enjoy the game
welcome ursdeep!
Nan, what is that a 4 from the bottom right please? I have the 5/18
Glad you could join us, ursdeep.
hi ursdeep
got into this conversation a bit late, re past nights troll. How come both of those girls knew Whitewitch, who supposedly immigrated to the Carrbibean from Germany two years ago. Is whitewitch a teacher to htme?
thanks ppl
i think i am goin to like this chat box more than game ;-)
I have been wondering the same thing, inge.
ursdeep -- it is the chat that hooked me...
i was guessing they were friends who went to different chat rooms pretending to be other people... but I have not been hanging around enough recently to know whether whitewitch is a regular
But you still have to work the grid, that's part of the fun
i thought I had seen Whitewitch on here before; that confused me, too.
whitewitch has been regular, but doesn't seem to know German as well as I would have expected if she were from Germany... still, she has not caused problems here.
hartal
ack! cookie!
still need the first cl 6/30 please
white witch showed up about a week ago, all day for a while then only in and out, I do beleive she is anative German, or her answers would not have been the same
*hands cookie to Krys*
magzel - the two cl6/30s are really similar.
the definition is a group of groupies
evening babblers... 32 to get this session! anyone got the mi6/21 please (I have the deacons headgear)
hi seano!
her knowledge of East German geography was good
deacons' to be grammatically correct
Here's what creeped me out at first..Keely is my nickname for my daughter, who was born in 1995, and who has a Babble account. For a short second, I thought she was on the chat. I quickly realized it wasn't her!
actually -- isn't that bishops, sean?
Stid, the second half of that wa 8 word, the prostitute word, also means "flat" in German music scores
bishops' then ;-)
mi6/21 - take your deacon's headgear singular, change final vowel and add a long skinny consanent
constanent I mean ... okay, that doesn't look right either...
cl + lemon**** for the cl6
consonent ... consonant ...AH
thanks krys10
not a vowel letter!!
ever suddenly lose a word in your mind, and can't remember how to spell it?
oh! thanks, inge, I didn't know that (I learn more great words here!)
thanks to stidgrant, I now have under 100 words to go!
yup got that thanks again ch1212
y/w seano :)
been monkeying away but my monkey must be asleep -- looking for 3 ri 4's -- heeeeeeeeeelp!

I am back for a moment as well. The boys are making pot stickers (well -- following the directions on the frozen ones we get at Costco) for lunch, so I have a few minutes to babble.
right, Sherb
hello stidmama
anyone desperate for any clues??
congrats seano!!
yes, 96 of them please!
yay Seano
I have 94 words...
LOL souleh!
Is that a cornish flag I spy MVA?
Hi MVA how are you doing? Just popped in before Corrie.
Hi, all. Down to 12. Had time at work today to Babble!
Just moved from the Roseland to Northampton (for all my sins) following work
hi Judy! :-)
has anyone heard from feather how her kitty is doing? I haven't seen her online in a couple days.
Hi, Stid. How are you doing?
What happened to Feather's kitty, Stid?
doing well, Judy. Trying to get things accomplished today (so far so good) so I can relax this evening and babble.
I guess she wasn't able to move her back legs... but never heard what the diagnosis or prognosis are.
souleh, yes its a cornish flag - sorry for delay
It was a rhetorical question, I know it is - just moved from there ;)
whereabouts were you?
hi jfb, was making a cup of tea!
Oh, dear! Was it a Manx cat? I had to put mine down in March because he developed paralysis at 18 months from Spinal problems. :(
I wish to report that even my father (who doesn't take well to drastic change) liked my haircut! :-)
Me Too MVA!
Is there a new pic of you on the blog?
I don't know, Nef, I just hope feather (and her little boy) and the kitty are doing okay.
{{{Nef}}} I know how hard it is to lose a critter, too.
souleh, moved from north cornwall to london 30 ish years ago!
I'm allergic to cats, but he was given to me and was so sick that I had to get him well. He was just 3 months old when I got him, malnourished and had severe worms
love north cornwall, tintagel, tribarwith + boscastle make for a great day walking
yes Nef, that is how our animals come to us, as well! They pull at our heartstrings.
will be down in boscastle on fri!
DH's 91 y/o Aunt named him Tommy, my dog "adopted" him and took care of him too -til the cat got bigger than she was! :)
Never thought I'd miss the sea quite so much
Never thought I'd miss the sea quite so much - Kettering is so lifeless!
Never thought I'd miss the sea quite so much - Kettering is so lifeless!
Never thought I'd miss the sea quite so much - Kettering is so lifeless!
Never thought I'd miss the sea quite so much - Kettering is so lifeless!
Sorry. I miss the poor cat; even if he did make my asthma flare. Poor Tootsie (the dog) went through a grieving time too
eek, sorry! Was pressing enter and it didn't do anything so pressed it a few times!
wow. everything really slowed down all of a sudden!
Souleh, I was going to blame you for slowing this place down!
I think the site went offline earlier, too - whilst I was trying not to do any work! Database dropped I'd guess
<I'm just teasing, forgot to throw the LOL! in there!>
live by coast in south wales now, but mainly mud on beach!!
yes, cats do the same to me, so do dogs. But the only thing I absolutely have to avoid is hamsters. the last one we took for friends on vacation for a couple weeks, and by the time they returned my poor Tom was caring for it because I couldn't even touch it (he is really not into rodents...)
I'm allergic to cats but have three. Wouldn't give any of them up! All very different personalities and they don't like each other!
ooh -- loquat is so close to being a word!

Don't have either cl 6/30 Jaime

I remember, Ciocia.. we chatted about the R.S. Hawk that was outside my window..
Actually, I think i still have one of the Monkees albums too, will have to check
The first two I bought were "mono" because I didn't have a stereo. (Am I old or what?)
sorry aloysius. now that I'm old I'm also forgetful.
lol
CJ, we are like fine wine, getting better with age!!
(-: That's ok, Ciocia.. .you meet new friends every day!
LOL
i had a hifi too, Judy
a+wa4/8
aloy,,, my bird expert...i think i saw an american goldfinch yesterday....mostly yellow with partly black wings and tail...but ive also seen something similar thats all yellow...any ideas
Darn right, Peri. And I like fine wine!!!

not sure
brb
i mean im not sure what a finch flies like
don;t have any of the Am words
h'mm... any black on the face? A finch undulates in flight..up, down, up, down
The birding experts at Cape May, NJ call the gold finch the potato chip bird - it flies with a dip!

(-: good nickname
good job Peri

torgone, are you trying to get me more confused thatn I alrady am :)
If I could spell I would be really good at this game :)
britt17 - roll the dice and move the appropriate number of spaces, take a card ..
LOL, I was looking for the 5th month and was wondering if I didn't remember how to spell it, LOL
Sorry, peri ...
This is slow going, I still have 123 left
lol torgone. Britt, check out Angelsong's link at the bottom.. it tells about everything. Basically, you just try to find words in the grid, 4 letters or more.
torgone, apology accepted, but you will scare britt17 away
Forget the 5th month clue . .I had a brain fart ..
jk britt . .
do they smell, too, Torgone?
Depends on what I've been thinking ..
thanks

sorry about that! my daughter hit enter!! (no, really)!!
:-)
Stop blaming innocent small children, Fran.
going to take a break and put her down for her nap! later!
lol judy!
cu Fran
when cornered, blame the kids.......that's what they're for
bye Fran
19 grey boxes, 40 words to go, time for a break
Wow! The Chipmunks! *sigh*
alllllllllllllllllllllllvin!!!!!!!!!!!
Love those Chipmunk Christmas albums (yep, albums again!)
Did you have the red vinyl one, judy?
Gee, I don't think I have a red vinyl one. Bummer. Did I miss something?
well............i really need to get some cleaning done.....see y'all later
cu kalea
I don't know if it was a special edition or what . . I just know we wore it out ..would probably be worth a few bucks if I still had it ..
Hullo all. Just checkin the lo and seeing Fran shamelessly using a word to help jilli remember a battle . goodness me.
the rest of the chat about albums and bands is beyond me I'm afraid.
Fran didn't do it, hetty.. her daughter did!
... her little daughter... a prospective babblet..
wow...i see that since ive been away weve progressed (or should i say regressed) from the monkees to the chipmunks
Jilli, do you have the 2 cl's that are driving me bonkers? cl6/30 and ONE OF THE CL5'S?
was there a gradual transition or did we go straight from one to the other
Or are you going to cl** up on me?
one sounds like click and cl*****
chj, there's no such thing as a gradual transition on Babble
the other sounds like batmans cl**** or cape
and hand cl**** doesn't work for me I'm afraid
I'd say it was an abrupt change brought on by Harpjane's icon.
hetty, I just got those cl6/30s. One is a group of supporters at an opera and the other is the same with a different vowel in the middle
remember to mind your ps and qs on these words
the tap it brothers?
sat and sun at 10am
i love car talk
how did that lady ever get her mercedes glove box open?
and why is it called a glove box anyway?
hetty - which cl5 do you need?
missed that one ren...actually i dont think ive heard them for about a month
pikov and dropov
their chauffers
or is it pikov andropov
fall of 2000
dewey cheatem and how
lol aly!
if its that far back i may have heard it but just dont remember
Jilli I have the supportes at an opera, if they're anything like a a cli ***, and now I've succesfully changed the vowel, thank you. I
bud tugley
and thanks, chj. aw you in the grid again yesterday!
yes but rennie was in yesterday and today
i'm special, so special!
marge n overa
back to see if I can finish today...
urf why can't I see words today!!
ok back to work, thanks for the chuckles (the clown!!) now i've really got the laughs!
gotta have some of your attention
the cl5 I don't have, jilli, is somehwre betweenthe shell fish and the present tense of the strange verb to cl**( stone cl****? to clothe?)
bozo was better than chuckles
see ya ren lol
Did hyou plural the shell fish Hetty?
cl + lemon***
golddiggers stake a cl***
that is I have the cl4/6 to clothe; the same word plus a vowel; that word pluralized, and the original pluralized. Yes, I've pluralized shell fish somewhere lurking there is another furtive cl5
cl + commercials
the cl 5's I have are, in order: the group of organisms one, adds metal to the side, stakes out, plural shell fish, and clogs up, as it were
do you have cl*** to fame, hetty?
I have all of c's done, so that should be it. :-)
I think the one you're missing is the one chj clued about the golddiggers.
Aloysius, I dont recognize your cl clue, sorry
matches the stakes out one, hetty
i think shes missing the one about the lemonade
nor not being one, do I see the point bout gold-diggers. Oh dear
Hetty, if someone bangs into your car your put in a cl*** at the insurance company
claret s a phantom!
oh.. it is an expression.. if you are a good bowler, that may be your "cl*** to fame"..
hetty i just clued them all except the blood cl***
cl+ take *** at a target
good one aloy
antlers is a fantom!
Gotcha. Reading in wrong direction, thanks all
everyone cheer for hetty!
but i dont think i would want bowling as my cl*** to fame
No, throw me a fish please. Just had crab cakes for lunch, so no crab=--anything else
gimme an H gimme an E
gimme two T's *does split in air*

Hi Peri!

No, seriously, I am most indebted to you all. Annow I'm off to enter a babanon piece about Guy Fawkes (origin of the slang term"guy") as I promised ch1212 and verna earlier --TTFN
ooh i just saw jill's icon... not sure he was in a band, but he was the greatest boy musician of all time
peri, french word for donkeys--a regular babblet
Hey, Peri

the other an, before pop off, is like the unmentionable orifice with an "e" for a "u"
I'm feeling better une. Thanks for asking. LOL
Hey, CJ I see that you are still here, as promised
Yep. But time to go. Didn't realize it was after 5 p.m. here in the East. I'll have to catch all of you later. Time to commute!
chj - little Mo used to conduct his compositions - doesn't that make him a band leader? LOL

me too, aloyisius--I have a friend who's gone several times to paint and travel . . .
Any more unhelpful clues I can give?
you know most people thin k of mozart writing these great compositions when he was six, and he did write a lot of things when he was young, but all of his masterpieces came when he was over 25 and living in vienna
have a fabulous cookbook with Tuscan recipes.. and pictures that I love looking at..

LOL, she's calling me Penny
no -- PappouTed is Penny!
Moss **** + ** Gore
why is she calling you Penny, Pappou?
sorry peri -- I know it's weird...
thanks, torgone!
because penny is my name, pappou is greek for grandpa, my name is after my dad
okay mystery cleared up
tired and need another break, bbl
:-) peri -- if I were to call you anything, it would be "vinca"
bye, Peri
hi all.
Hi, Cath!
My first babble name was pezzie, when my parents moved in with me because of my dad's health I started my mom on babble. She used to play on my name so I had to think of another name. PappouTed was born after my dad
hi Cathy!
Does your mother still live with you, Penny?
*having visions of wonderful home-made greek food*
how's the grid today? can't imagine finishing...been away all day
It's a big grid, Cathy. but I am not using a list today and already down to 61 remaining.
stidmama, yes, her health isn't the best so she lives with me. Plus, she's taking my dad's death really hard. She lost her mother, husband and brother all in 5 months. My uncle passed away 8 days after my dad.
hi cathyar
lol...there's hope yet ?
hi rae
Heya Cath ..
hi tor!!!
oh, that is hard to have that many losses so close... (my great-aunt's husband, one of her sons and my grandfather died within 6 months of each other).
How long were they married? My grandparents were married just 6 months shy of 60 years.
Hi rae - do you know how many Salt Springers are babblers too? (Didn't know you were in Vic until just now)
tor...who is your icon? looks like maybe an east indian boy band?
right on! I actually live in sidney
I take her to school with me everyday, she volunteers in my sister's classroom so we keep her busy. LOL, she's stays away from my kindergarten class, a little too hectic for her
they were married 53 years, the last 6 my dad was on dialysis.
and I used to work in shoppers there up until march...so if you get your drugs there, I was in the pharm every day
I like Sidney - that Victorian bird place and so on. We nearly chose to live there 10 yrs ago
That is so nice that she can help at the school! I know how she feels about the kindergartners... that is a BUSY age! what grade does your sister teach?
3 rd

197 words Lizzi
we moved out here 3 years ago from victoria...I love it out here

thank you soouleh, the penny has dropped
taz -- that is something that Dr God can answer -- go to the comments link at the bottom of this page and ask him! He can fix whatever is wrong (I am sure it is nothing you did)
:)
Can anyone give me a clue to the 8 letter?
is everyone else seeing black or just me
I'm not a 'Pro' member so I can't see which lengths start with which letters
ty stid but you must agree it gives me an air of mystery lol
I see black also
black as night
Help me please.....with sugar on the top. I am down to 4 that I just cannot get...clues please for the TA 5/12 and the TA6/21. Also the LA 6/21 and LA5/12 (the 2nd set)
yes, it is blakc
yes i am sitting in the dark in that pic
la 6/21 think ***** with good, but plural
speaking of black, I need to open a light, too dark in here
I see different things there, all in blue...
you are a mysterious person, taz, calling yourself pink and looking so dark... LOL
***** with goods, even
my dog is neutered pink
okay, need to take another break. back later.
Nancy, the last 5/6 combo builds off of an la 4/5 - think dipper
2nd la set is the same as the 1st but ends in a hook letter.
and the 5/12 is the same but without the plural letter ;)
ta5 /12 has a rogue aitch to bedevil it, Nancy.It's the plural of ta/5, if that helps
well, depends which, I only have 3 5/12s
bbl - must go fix dinner
any clues to the 8 letter word?
I don't have it yet, sorry
I don't even know what it starts with :|
oh hey now - this one looks fun!
wa 8/70
wa8/70 = *** of chewing gum + gangsters' girlfriends
I have the L's thank you but am still lacking the TA
back again - too many lengthy interruptions!
then drop one stick letter for the wa 6/21 and its plural
nut...ren and i were lookin to pick you up...were goin to the al*** to look for her bike
at5/10 clues please?
the 8 letter word is like the wa6 and the wa7--peculiar terms indeed--add a gagster
wow, thanks for those w clues
Nancy - think gooey road stuff with an extra letter ..
I can't work out what gangster's girlfriends must be, it came up earlier
's mo** to a wa8 of gum

think of where you go shopping at and change the vowel
its never too late
gangster's girlfriend rhmes with shopping ma**
*rhymes
at5/190 is the Latin feminine of at**** (name for a smalll conservatory ) flosey
thanks hetty, got it
souleh, it's based on a novel by Defoe-Mo** Flanders
hetty, it is the Latin plural of that central open court
betty can you clarify the at clue please?
Torgone, I am just stupified. I get the gooey word but cannot make it into 5. Oh, I am so worn out trying to get these last two words...Woe is me

road trip!!!!!
The last TA
hetty, isn't that ri4 you've given me?
but after jeopardy
ta6/21 looks like a facy feminine name (TaM****) with the consonants switched
Scarlett's home + mother
and it doesn't seem to accept plural
RENNIE!!!

chj-after that pun my first instinct was to check the colour of your person and yup, sure enough, you're of the testosteroned persuasion.
lol eva!
well, MY "eva" is pronounced the french way... a la "ava"
eva how come your spelling color with a U if your american
They just can't help themselves....not that there aren't female punners, but they are rare.
thats the beauty of being a guy...we can use suble and we can use blunt force
did I? I sometimes do it one way and sometimes the other. My father was a German-jewish refugee who learned his English in England, and that's how I learned to spell it. I think we spelled it that way in school too, when I was growing up.
subtle-male???????
yknow, chj...i may have to argue that your boy-band is not the best of all time... because clearly you have never heard of MINE. :D
theres an eva at starbucks who pronounces it like kev-ah
Hey kiddies.

simon le bon

I just spent 45 painful mins changing the color scheme on my blog

Still have 69 left, but the dishes are calling me to wash them. Good night everyone!
yep, nut
i forget farenheit....was in grade 2 when canada switched to metric
it's www.journey-woman.blogspot.com
Are you doing that little sideways dance, evanonut??
well, you should post it in babs anon!
but i still prefer inches to centimetres, cups to litres, etc
Krista - conversion tricks - 4C is 40F, 16 is 61, 28 is 82.
me too, Cath - and I'm with you about liking the 30s (80s)
nut, I may have done that before, but I'll double-check
30's would be like 85 Farenheit
nrkii - i have a blot at blogspot too. maybe you can help me figure out how to change the color scheme on my blog sometime :)
I was about the same grade when we started learning metric here, but it "never took" for common use...oh, useful trick, Jilli! Ty.
nrkii....SPOILER....DONT READ THIS......debb all the theme answers start with two letters of the alphabet...there are 26 of them and all the letters of the alphabet are used once...hence 13X2=26
hey
looking away
i use wordpress
trying hard not to look at chjs post
I WANNA LIVE IN THE US...but where there are no hurricanes or tornados or cyclones, etc

Back to the grid - "only" 52 to get in 20 minutes or so, haha
WTG KRISTA!

qu: when you have a fight with someone, a disagreement
bekki, qu + something you give to the poor

yay krys!!
I have the threesome, the old fashioned train

raelite, i'll tr*** you for a rookie card.
FranMag thank you i think my brain is in nutral
yw bekki
I have that one too fran but thanks
raelite, those are all the tr5/12s.
yeah I just noticed what it was
d'oh!!
thank you all
*giggles at raelite pulling a stidmama*
stid, did you patent that move?? :-)
I shoulda, seems everyone is copying me these days!
lol...who else would be better to emulate!
has anyone heard from feather? about her or her cat?
didnt someone say she was away?
she's out of town until Tuesday visiting her grandma, her husband is home with the cat.
any clues on the st's?
Guten Abend, ich bin wieder hier. Stid do you realize that in the rankings your name is in black and has no purse?
no word on the cat yet.
been wondering about why the difference in colors and what the purse means....what's that about?
yes, I do realize. I keep meaning to write to Dr. God, but it's not that important. :-) more interested in chatting than point totals...
the "purson" is supposed to indicate whether a person identifies as male or female...
arlene, st5/12 starts like where your food is digested
when you click the little person you get that person's purse revealed to you, like Babbler's purse has all the icon dasy
the longer ones build from that.
I thought perhaps you didnt pay up. HEHEH
can anyone tell me what tomorrow's theme is please
some people leave their gender blank and get a gray/purple/green (depends on the monitor) purson. Some people think the symbol is a person, some a purse...
thanks that'll help
st4/4 is st+two vowels, it's a greek covered walk
HA! I paid up within a week of starting ... :-) actually joined before the price rose above $10!
st5/10 is it's plural (not with an S)
ahhh....i think i see.
me too, got in just under the wire
i paid 14.95 and its worth every penny
flosey, the theme tomorrow is dinosaurs i believe
oh inge, just read your profile again and was reminded... what is a water bromeliad, and how hard are they to grow? assuming they are indoor plants....
going to play scrabble now, see you all later!
hm. dinosaurs. I know! back in a few.
later, fran
thanks Fran and Stid
flosey, tomorrow's theme is dinosaurs
giggle giggle giggle... check it out, folks!
I have 26 left and have run out of time - bridge tonight - see you after the flip.
it's raining its pouring the old mand is snoring
oh Jill -- enjoy bridge (are you seeing flosey tonight?)
hi nut!
hi nut
hi stid!
I have the fireworks again, slightly earlier than yesterday, but still late for me
i could use a little help with a couple of S7, i have ST7...
hi annie
yay, exwren!
YAY ExWren! :-)
oh i just found sm7
hetty, I loved your synopsis of the Guy Fawkes conspiracy -- I was wrong only about who was king at the time...
was trying to find Babblers profile, sorry. The bromeliad in my icnon is a water color painting by my husband. Bromeliads are relatives of the pineapple, all originated from central and South America, ie rain forest. Now grocery stores and Home Depot carry the more ordinary specimen. They are very grateful plants. no diseases or infestations. Just keep their cup watered. The one in my icon has a frog looking on. Actually frogs like to live inside their tubular leaves.
thanks inge. and wow. your husband is talented!
nice ingy!
My husband has a whole galary of such bromeliad water colors. A nursery man in Hawaii purchased 8 of them at our conference in San Diego. He also has greeting cards.
one of the s7's sounds like a red fruit/vegetable (?) with an s in front
good afternoon friends!
testing - changed (I hope) my icon
oooh...that's very nice inge! i like it!
Let me find my artist green thumbed husband to change my icon to another plant
ok, ready for tomorrow
i have an sm7 and an st7, i need the other one
se7/36 - Hebrew pl of Jewish dinners
hmmm, i know the singular *thinks*
the feast of the exodus of the Jews
hi kristinc!
To get the pl, change the second vowel, and add Tolkein's pl for riders of Rohan!
the plural, but no s
flosey -- looks like dinos to me!
hi kristin!!!
hi there stid
hi annie
vi, that is a cute icon, too!
right, of course, i should have known because i know elohim is plural... thanks vi, exwren
Thanks, stidmama. Are you familiar with the book it's from? What's the date on your "dinosaur"?
no, I haven't read that book. My parents' kaypro was in our home by 1982... I think they purchased it new. This image is off the web.
Goodnight all, see you tomorrow, please can we have a smaller grid?
good night, wren!
good night, Wren!
We (ie my parents) got our first computer in 1983, an Apple IIe. We've all come a long way!
Goodnight, ExWren!
yes, we have! although I miss the days when I understood enough to really do some of the nitty-gritty, i really like plug-n-play! (and color monitors and screens bigger than 6")
well, going to do other things until story time. See you later.
Good Evening (for me) all. everyone happy?
hi/bye phandme! everyone is happy except the german shepherd who is a bottomless pit for play...
The IM words are driving me crazy, any clues
later, stid, hi phand
We had to do Basic programming in school, I remember. Oof! I never liked computers until the macs came along!
Good-night, stidmama!
im4/6 - Muslim leader, and im5 is pl
32 to go. Need to eat and refresh brain. back in a bit

I was miscounting the points then. Thnx
any hints for the se 7/36?
plural of the meal eaten the first night of Passover
se7/36 clue at 7:27 and 7:28
Stid- how do you change your profile picture without changing your chat picture?
Flying Blind, until you refresh your screen (sometimes it takes several times) then the chat icon will be her previous icon, and her current one is on her bio page.
thanks vic and annie :)
how about clues for the ir words?
not getting the se7 clue. seder isn't oin the grid. anything for us agnostics?
Here's my favourite dinosaur and its story...see you later (you may have to refresh)
ir+lemon*** /then plural
Bonkler, that's the correct root. To get the pl, change the second vowel and use the pl that Tolkein uses for his rifers of Rohan.
darn sneaky spelling that, ty
bokler, you have to use the hebrew plural which is the third vowel and a cons.
*bonkler

I got mine in 2005 I think, maybe 2004
Had an old inspiron for a while, it got hot, too
it's the batteries that are needing to be replaced. sony lithiums.
Dos - Oh dear! I remember doing that. The big old floppy disks and the day's back up for the office taking half an hour or more.
Love my ibook, though!
ciao, arlene
Adam is out in his back yard this morning, looking at the firewood situation, and Cathy and Ava are finishing clearing the breakfast things.
when I Babble, mine doesn't get hot at all--doesn't usually find more than 50% of words for me!
later arlene, sweet dreams!
ra 5/10?
night Arlene
Adam hefted another load of wood for the house, and then paused, hearing the rumbling of men's voices next door.
(That would have been 1983/84 when I wrote the first 'Idiot's Guides' for the old Burroughs computers.)
chj you back to cluing?
mmm ibook...want macbook pro to go with my new imac 20" core duo
He set the wood on the back porch, then went through the back gate and sauntered over to the barn.
i just want an mp3 player
"Good morning, need any help with that harness?"
chj's busy stealing back a bike, I think, tho it's more difficult since someone put the light bricks on it!
im back....
my old imac is now an mp3 player.
Paul looked up miserably at Adam, "Oh Father, I wish you would -- Doris took sick over night, and I just can't concentrate on this."
Tee, hee, Mom.
Adam pulled on an extra work apron and sat down on the bench next to Paul.
i want to download music and free myself from cd's
i have a dell inpiron 8200 got in 2002
"Son, a lot has happened since you were gone, and there hasn't been time to share it all with you."
Isn't imac a cream hair remover? Oh no, that's Immac.
be wary where you download. try and avoid drm. bad stuff in there
cute icon chj!
I've got a 6000 in '05, I think.
John came up from the back of the barn with some extra leather and rivets, "Doris is sick fairly regularly, actually -- the doctor has said it's something she eats."
why cant i change my email address
actually bonkler, i was going to go the legal rout, i tunes probably
chj - change it where? On here?
i typed a different address in my email address in my profile but it keeps changing it back to the old one
doris has some sort of food sensitivity?
hmmm, suddenly chj wants to change e-mail address. probably needs new garage to hide stolen bike!
even there nut. there's lots of stuff going on with drm
neber mind i see i have my newer one listed in the bio section
chj - e mail Dr_G. He'll sort you out.
Adam grunted and continued, "Our Gilly has a good level head on her shoulders, though, and that doctor is pretty good even if she's from the other side of the mountain." He winked at John conspiratorily, "Doris will be fine."
Dinah Shore... ohhhhhhh
aha!
chj, my dad went to high school with Dinah Shore here in Nashville (that wasn't her name yet!)
stid, what are you doing?
took me a min to get that, silly me
silly u
supper - peanut butter and a spoon.no where but texas
Ren, got Fluff?
Is Doris being sick mainly in the mornings? (Rhetorical question.)
Adam looked at the leather straps John was holding and selected a thin one and three rivets. Paul handed the metal-tipped mallet and Adam drove the rivets home -- one, two.... three.
Satisfied, he held up the harness and Paul ran his hand over the mend.
when i was just a lad i went to the dinah shore open before it was a major event
no nrkii...
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT STID IS DOING...
no clue . . .
she's is telling us a story yo
ah, ren, I'm sorry... with Fluff it would be perfect
which are you eating first the pb or the spoon
stid is telling us all a story
YoBaby, Stid is telling a story
stid is telling a story yobaby...prob about chapter 7 or so?
she tells it every night
we get a chapter a day or so.
she's entertaining us children
in installments
nrkii--fluff is the new dinosaur
it's lovely
John explained, "Doris sometimes pretends she is ill to get out of going to school. But Anna told me her eyes were swollen this morning, and she was having trouble breathing -- "
I've been Babbling for a few months now... this is a new one on me. I'm guessing Stid finished the puzzle early today?
and i'm her little angle
ren are we suspending operations til the stidstory is over
Adam looked up, "So, not as bad as last time?"
Pam, how could you? You are from MA!
Is this a story she wrote?
John shrugged, "I don't know, Grampy -- the last time must have been after our last visit."
about 23 degrees
sure - i'll roam around and graze for a while
yo...WHAT is your icon?
LOL, nrkii! Fluff and I do not see eye to eye
doris seems food-allergic!
and me
*YoBaby -- it is a story I am writing -- I think this is chapter 19.... check BabAnon Other Interests for the whole shebang*
Not food allergic - roam around and graze, I meant.
pam, my college friends used to claim you could laminate documents with Fluff
you talkin to me nut
no doubt, nrkii!!!!
or maybe there's something at Gilly's house that she's allergic too?
Evanonut: that icon is me in my younger, prettier days... Oh, the memories...
OMG...i didn't realize we were that far into it!!! time flies when having fun!
nah chj, i'll talk to you later (snicker)
when i was working in ma someonoe made me some fluffler nutters
Nrii--you went to the benefit reading????? YOU ROCK!!!!!
Paul stood up and hung the harness on its hook, taking down a bridle that looked a little worse for the wear.

or, to your bokg, LOL
I just got heavier and heavier, Evanonut. I do have a little less acne now though...
He started shaving off the end that was frayed, while Adam picked up another new piece of leather and twisted it. John sat down on the opposite side of Adam and started whittling a toggle.
pam, link is in the blog, link to blog is in my profile
:)

The three men sat in companionable silence, working in the bright morning light.
sorry for the fluff detour stid!
bye all!
cya, nrkii
but the glasses me dear...the glasses, you aren't by chance related to harry potter?
i'm all ready for dinosaur day!

YoBaby I am WRITING the story. now, this moment (well not this moment, because I am explaining...) LOL it's just like when you were a kid and your mother told you a story while you were in the car.
bye nrikii
(or at bedtime yobaby)
John looked up suddenly, "Where is Olivia?"
ooooh, an animated icon...where does she get those toys
Andy looked around in surprise, "I thought she was with Gray!"
cl5/14 a prospector's cl***
my mom rode a bicycle w/ me on the handle bars and hit a curb and taught me to fly
se 7/36 clue please
is that the one at the al*** ren?
are you registered by the faa
Adam set down his leather strap and Paul sucked on the nick he made in his thumb when he looked up.
lol, chj
I think what baffles me about Stid's story is the absolutely perfect punctuation. No one writes a story with absolutely perfect punctuation! That's what editors are for! Stid, I'm so impressed!
nope i ran over it when i learned to drive
thanks chj! thinking...
bech - plural Passover celebration.
John and Adam started up. Paul was about to join them, but Adam gave him a look and he sat down again.
se 7/36 se + you ** man + an airball doesnt hit the ***
makes sense
stid darling, let's not cause ren any trouble
YoBaby. If you write often enough, the punctuation comes.
"We'll take Andy and Gray to help us look. You and Nan can go tell Anna where we are. But stay here in case Gilly or the doctor need something."
experience breeds best grammar!
YoBaby, I do a lot of backspacing...
I'm a journalism major with an English minor. My punctuation is pretty good. But I'm usually horrified by other people's punctuation, especially when quoting another person. Stid's great!
airball?
when i was a wee lass, "grammar was intuitive."
(Mind you, if you edit and re-edit your written work as often as I do, then you leave people waiting a while for things.)
Nut -- am I causing trouble?
What a crock--too latin and russian to teach me basic grammar
strunk and white
*still waiting for Jac's travel log, for instance!*
chj-- i like folletts
and cummings
airball...in basketball when you shoot at the basket and miss the ***
not you stid
my grand mother made me ride it w/ no brakes, so i got a pair of rubber boots to wear so i could stop.
oh...got it...:)
my grammar had great intuition -- always knew when to bake cookies or pull out a jigsaw puzzle.
Write on, Stid. I'm going to read bed time stories to my no-neck monsters. Night night.
Exactly, stidmama! (Mind you, most of the wait has been for the 2nd lot of photos and also due to family interrupting whilst I'm writing!)
good night YoBaby
lol, stid
yo ho ho stid
good night YoBaby

Night, y'all.
Adam and John strode purposefully back toward the park, Gray on John's shoulders and Andy anxiously trotting behind.
night Yo
yay I did it!
i know chj, i hit a parked car trying to destroy the dumb bike, but it still lives
'Night, Yo. LOL, Ren. (That's awful, Ren!)
i have a bike thats probably older than you are
Paul wiped his thumb on his apron and took Nan's hand. They walked up the steps and into the kitchen as Gilly came in to boil a fresh kettle for more tea.
raelite...fireworks? wtg

chj - that's a Penny Farthing bike then?
YAY raelite!

"Mother!" Nan exclaimed, "Olivia's lost in the park!"

Gilly turned round in surprise.

"It's okay, dear," soothed Paul, "Father and John have gone back with Gray and Andy to find her. I am sure she will be fine."
it had a really hard leather seat that finally cracked lat year

the wire was still there that night when i was down by battery park
clue for cl6/30 pls? both of them?
kay guys, fighting sleep long enough now...sorry for not sticking for the rest of the chapter stid
Gilly set the kettle on the stove and sat wearily at the table. "The doctor says Doris will be okay, but it's going to be several days before she can go out. Her face is still swelling, but the doctor had some medicine with her that is helping her breathe."
lol all 'round!
nighty night nut
kissie kissie nut!!!

nut...get some sleep in the back seat...we should be in san antone by daybreak
Paul turned Nan toward the front room, "Please go tell Anna and your sisters that Doris will be okay and John and Grampy have gone to the park to fetch Olivia."
chj - is she on the laptop? Are you driving??? And on the computer??
Paul walked around the table behind Gilly and put his strong hands on her shoulders. He rubbed gently, and she relaxed into the back of the chair.
good night, nut!
whoa. talk about multitasking! glad i'm not on the road with them! *faint*
see you tomorrow. :-)

Cathyar - both cl 6/30's use the 5 tile.

Gilly smoothed her hair and Paul smiled. "Of course, dear," Gilly said holding her hands out to take Sarah.

Ren - Thanks! Now I'm singing 'Desperado'.

Paul looked at his hands and made a face. "Oh Gilly, I forgot I had a cut on my thumb. Now there's blood on your shoulder..."

He turned, drying his hands on a towel, and picked up the kettle, which had started to harmonize. "What type of tea were you making, Gilly?"
madame x
yes
She stood, handing the baby back to Meg. "I'll get it, the doctor just wanted something to help her wake up. Will you reach in the cupboard and serve a nice slice of that berry pie? I know she's probably hungry, too."
rennie...how come ebert didnt offer you siskels spot when he died

Ren - LOL Yup!

Paul put the rest of the pie back in the cupboard, "Me? a soggy crust? NEVER!"

ta4 T + bert l*** the cowardly lion

Paul groaned and rolled his eyes, and Meg nearly fell out of her chair laughing. Gilly caught Sarah before she could be dropped. "I'll take the baby over to let Mother and Cathy know how exciting our day has been. Meg, please pull out the rest of the roast and get some sort of luncheon ready, I am sure we will all be hungry when Grampy and John get back with Olivia."

to4 for whom the bell to**s

"And you want to know why I stayed away so long." He sat, and rubbed his hands together as if to warm them.
(Stid - do any of these men ever stay put?)
my dogs are barking hold that thought
"I left because I needed to know about my past -- what brought me here when I was a child, where I came from, who my parents might have been."
The doctor took a bite of pie and looked a little less severe.

"I stayed so long because things across the ocean, where I had traveled to learn the answers to these questions, were not peaceful and it took a great deal of effort and," he paused, searching for the right words.
The doctor took another bite of pie and a sip of tea. Doris coughed gently and put a hand to her forehead.
Did you lot all scroll back the chatlog to start of the day, or rather about halfway? Did you see my link to the hilarious video of boy band, Boyzone's first appearance on TV?

"Many things change as a child grows. Sometimes healthy children get bad allergies as they reach adolescence. Unfortunately, Doris is one of those."
Paul shook his head, "Allergies to what? What can we do to stop them?"
mets were zipperino? what happene to the heart attack kids?
Doris coughed again and whispered, "May I have some water please?"
Stidmama does not 'Sssh' people who interrupt when she is telling a story, and, for that, she deserves a medal. Anyone who is seriously 'sshhing' on here though...
st's please all e xcept the7/32
pedro gave up 6 in the first on a lot of shoddy fielding, some hit batters and balks
The doctor quickly helped her sit up and held a glass for her.

Satisfied, Doris lay back down and turned her face toward where she thought Paul sat. "Father," she croaked, "It's something I ate. Last time this happened, I had eaten chicken soup, mother's spoon bread and cake. This time, I ate roast, stuffing and pie."
The doctor looked thoughtful. "What sort of cake was it last time, do you remember?"
oooh...jacs...did someone shush someone? i didn't see/hear it!
(I'm guessing a yeast intolerance here, Stid.)
Cathyar - yes, there was a Shush.
Doris shook her head gently and winced. "Sorry doctor," she replied.
we love stidmama's storytime...it's a comfort time, but no need for rudeness in babbleland
theres no shushing in babble
only in skiing
lol chj
LOL chj
The doctor put her hand on Doris's forehead and snagged a cool cloth again. She looked at Paul, "Doris really needs to rest now, Paul. I will call if I need anything else."
i read back in tthe log, but cannot see a shush.
Have we ever had the word shush or sssh in a grid?
ive switched to sd v sf to watch mike piazza
Paul nodded and picked up the tray. "Thank you."
Cath - it was an implied shush.
yes...i recall sssh in a grid i think...when i first started playing months and months ago.
But a serious shush, nonetheless.
As Paul entered the kitchen, Meg was setting the table.
is it really a word or something mom's made up to say real quick?
those implied shush's are the worst of any shush!!!! ;)
Anna came in the front door, carrying a tear-stained -- and grass-stained -- Olivia.
better than all that smooching
John, Andy and Gray could be heard coming along the side of the house to the back stairs.
lol REN!!!
(Ah! Olivia's back! What happened to her?)
The kitchen was filled with lively chatter and happy smiles as Polly returned after stopping by with Adam to relay the news. Gilly and Sarah followed her through the kitchen door and everyone sat down to lunch.
Ren - how can you say that? We were trying to get a bit of smooching action into the story the other night! LOL.
Except Gilly, who couldn't help taking her plate (and one for the doctor) upstairs.
oh tv mistress....her it's ok

LOL ren
*let it be cathy that gets lucky, pls???? ;) *

(I mean, we didn't want a blow by blow physical account... just a little hint of passion and dot dot dot...)

Next door, Cathy, Adam and Ava sat down to their much quieter meal, with their cat daintily drinking a bit of milk out of a saucer.
ya...i agree jac
oop...might get lucky yet!!! ;)
The sun moved slowly overhead, and birds flew over the village, on their way to the plain below the mountain.
*waits in anticipation of Cath's luck*
to be continued....
(cathy needs a man...people must be wondering if she likes men or women...never in the story has there been mention of anyone in her life after all...just there steady for her family...and that's nice, but i think she needs a break...someone to take care of her for a change)
Yep. Ren. knows the routine. Life goes on, but the chapter ends.
Ren - you ****! I thought that was Stid saying that for a moment.

In the middle of winter, when all the gray in the sky and the lack of light and the cold set in, then I would prefer a lighter and warmer scheme... but right now in the middle of summer, I think it's perfect.
