Hello takuma Sato -- I don't think anyone has started to post clues yet, and I don't have it myself. Perhaps someone else will post a clue for you.
there aren't that many possibilities, but for some reason I can't get it, for the life of me
Got my icon up to date
But it stinks...
ah! thanks ch
P-U, douglas -- but why does it stink? I rather like stegosaurs...
takuma -- double last letter in the yi
Poor contrast with the background...better now...
wow - I feel a little silly now -- thanks stid!
Takuma: yi + common abbreviation for railroad
yw, took me a lot of monkeying to get it!
it was driving me nuts becausse I thought I'd covered all the possibilities...
My time is up .....have to go to bed
And what is that, exactly?

yes, better contrast... is that the prehistoric turkey, douglas?

It seems to be emerging as a daily ritual...
doug and i have fun serenading each other with eagles tunes, right doug?
lol
good luck tho
Got it! ca10/84
i hope your day goes well....wonder what'd be worse to teach...high school or elementary school kids.
well, i figured out this much - the last 7 letters of the ca10 are all one-pointers. time to call in the monkeys.
what doug...the eagles as a daily ritual???
lol
good night all -- 39 to go but will finish in morning
eagles, all right!
cu nrkii

by nrki
nite nrkii i'm turning in to =- see you all tomorrow
Well, we have sung an Eagles/Don Henley tune together for each of the past three days...
ummm...there isn't a 9 letter word mr pres tonite

ok...bk to the grid for me.
then to bed shortly
sleep is elusive this nite

u'll find more nef. don't give up.
DRAT!!!
There are some relatively uncommon words in the grid, Nef
see u erin...have fun!!!!
7 words now! :D
still looking for thta ca word
One thing that's curious is that there are three five-letter words which are all anagrams of each other...that's a little unusual...
doug gave a good clue earlier for the "bead thing"...it's used mostly by roman catholics, but spelled a bit incorrectly.
the ca10 is italian
ok ty mrp
the ca9 is proper, which is why it's not a valid word.
Hey there Mrp!
very observant doug
thanks Roc
thanks Cathyar...do you have the ca 10?
yes ty roc
Hello Chic!
how are the kids doing?
Morning babblers. Had a quick look now going to have some brain food.
no...trying to go by mr pres. clue tho doug
ca10 is like the proper name for Mafia type in Naples, add a vowel at the end
eww...another phantom...for surfers no less.... cahuna!!!
they are home chic! bugger day!
oooo
the ca 10 apparently means a member of a particular italian mafia that sounds like an image-capturing device.
does the ca10 start with the last ca 6/24?
poor mrp and the kids too!
no melon
yep! poor kids indeed! if mama aint happy, aint nobody happy!
trying to get onto yahoo...
I'm four words to halfway and moral victory...
sheesh...that 10 is eluding me...keep thinking something like commissory!
hello all - just got back from bridge and looking this grid over...
i went and looked up the ca word on google but the last letter is different
i went and looked up the ca word on google but the last letter is different
not once but twice
phantom ritual
hi jill
it's singular when it ends with an 'a'
lol...determined douglas
at last!
love your dino, cath!
ty jilli
I give up! Good night all; happy Babbling
looks black in the log tho
See you a little later, Nef
Hello to all....
the ca word is listed in m-w.com
and Douglas - I think you have compsognathus too
It's an ornithomimus, but they are similar, aren't they?
no cath - there's a green glow...
clue: the 10 letter word is a Nine Lives star stuck inside something like a cateye. for those who don't know my warped mind, this is a cryptic clue.
they certainly are similar
ro8 anyone?
melon, you most indisputably rock! That was a great clue!
guess I'd better try to find some words ;)
ro7 ends with a family member.. ro8 plural.
I didn't get it, melon. Is Nine Lives a boy band?
no. think TV ad.
It's a band of boy cats...
lol
with smoothly choreographed dance moves...
haha douglas
I know it's cat food but maybe haven't seen the ad
maybe i'm showing my age. THE CAT HAS A NAME!
much like a dance that involves a lot of spinning.
It has been a while since those commercials, hasn't it?
ty melon
yes.
ooh....i have the first 8 letters i think
got it bekki?
sure do
The only cat ad I know was an old one with Morris
i remember the cat
yes, jilli, yes!
A cat not unlike Bustopher Jones in the musical Cats
his name starts with "m"
A twenty-five pounder, or I am a bounder
awww....doug...i have a dog named buster and a kid named christopher....but it together and my loved ones are bustopher
melon what a great clue got the 10 thanks
tx Roc, got the ro.
YAY!!!! I HAVE IT TO!!! ty!!!
(never saw cats tho)
yw. night all.
Hi all and good night! Just completed bridge scoring - off to bed, will face this in the morning
happy oh so happy dancing to have the 10... think i'll try sleep now. nite everyone
I'd give the Brooklyn a 9.5. Golden Gate, a 10. hehe
Doug, tx for the compliment - my kids would die to know any one ever ever said i indisputeable rock. they're almost proud of my uncoolness.
had to go pay attention to MY cat. will work on that 10
yw, melon...
must be off again... see you all leter
I'm at halfway and moral victory...good night all
Hi and Bye, flosey!
i gotta give up these late hours - kid returns to school in < 2 wks - back to up at 7 - eeek!
GOT IT!!! *joining cath in happy dance and bowing in thanks to melon and douglas*
shimmy, shimmy coco POP!
laila tov, douglas.
got all the 7s - laila tov every one. pray for the cease fire to hold.
laila tov, melon and douglas
jili what one did you get?
i have been looking in the dictionary
the 10, taz!
i have been clued butcan not get it
the last letter
how does one know the icon theme
did you get the name of the cat?
yes
camorri
clue please for the cat clue
omg sorry all
taz, on the right hand side of Lickety's page there's a link for Icon Themes
ty jili
black goes with everything though
Cat clue--- see 1:24
but sometimes it's nice to try the New Black - lol
does anyone have a clue to the 3rd Y word ont he top row. i have the 2 that are singular and then plural. not figuring the 3rd
true but i had troubles just getting this am afraid to try new one
don't be afraid, taz. I had that happen one time and just did it over again and it came out ok
1:24? i new to babble
the time --- scroll down
I have no clues to give - only one word, the ca10!
what country had the ad? im from aus
ould i know it?
thanks old rotten hat
oops should
jili i need it lol
no y clue here
i
this one has me stumped. i want to go to bed. but i need to get his one first
can anyone tell me , what are the numbers indicating on for example ca,10?
that ca10 word is not a familiar one. If you put the name of the cat inside the cat and add an eye you'll get it
yi4/6 stay on the top row
thanks
ca is the the first two letters of the word; the 10 is the number of letters the word contains.
ca10/84 means the word starts with ca, has 10 letters, and scores 84. If you scroll down to Friends of Babble on the left, you'll find a link to Angelsong and this will explain lots about the game
every bit of info helps ty
Now I'd like to find a few more words before bedtime!
thankyou
FMitch- stay ont he top row...is that a def?
nava - no it is a clue to where to look for the letters (I'm seeing double)
oh yeah i see what you mean
yire
oops sorry
not a word anyways
morning all!

Got all the u's! Woo-hoo!

Actually, I am in the midst of cleaning out my office...
i finally got the ca10, actually my husband did...thank goodness. goodnight all
I had a number of birthday cards that I had my children write to President Bush on his 60th birthday, that I never mailed....
and while getting the address, I thought I'd do a little Babbling...
and a bit of babble heaps with the sorting, gotcha Doug.
jfb, do you have the ca 10, cos i haven't
The 10 - I'm having touble gettin 4's! In fact I'm having trouble getting words!
Do you want a clue for the 10?
Ma belle ****, You were a child of the sun and the sky and the deep blue sea...
Yes Please FMitch
OK here goes - ca + mo6/21 think mo**** dancers or mo**** minor car + 2 letter Italian ending
thanks f mitch, i lived in a flat once with mo6 dancers lived upstairs, noisy!!!
Hey Fi - thanks to you, the 10 was the first word I got - thanks!
lol must have been fun when they were practising MVA Morning matty
i went out a lot Fmitch!!
Wow - Thats a word isn't it! Thanks FMitch. If it wasn't for the fact that no definition is given I'd throw that into conversation today!
We didn't have dancers, we had the car - much quieter.
Oooh - what a laugh (ha4/6)
they played the piano too, in between the mo6 practice
Its a name associated with the Mafia
Hi everyone, anyone have any clues for the RO7??
I don't ask for much...all I want is some small amount of money for each time this em4 word has appeared in a crossword puzzle

Actually I'm down to 61...but I should be getting back to work...

Douglas Because it is 'is not'
or even 'is it not'
Morning Frances
Morning FMitch. How are you today. At least is is n ot raining......yet.
Hi Frances, no rain forecast today than goodness will give everything a chance to dry out (fingers crossed). Good grid today so far too.
Interesting grid. Some strange words.

Man walks into a bar with a newt on his shoulder. Barman says 'thats a fine newt. whats he called' Man says 'Tiny'. Why do you call him that? Because he's minute............boom boom
A skeleton walks into a bar and says 'Give me a beer and a mop.'
He He and H4/6
Very funny riemann
Morning all
Morning sprite
Either it was quiet here already, or my coming in disturbed the conversation ;)
Morning spite, it's a quiet log at the moment
Glad it wasn't my coming in that caused it, lol. How's the grid?
Not too bad at all, good mix of words but haven't got to the end yet so reserve judgement :)
Mornin' all! :)
I agree, the venom can be in the tail :) But good enough for an optimistic start.
Hi Kitty
Hi Kitty
I see I cannot even proper apologize today!
Hi Kitty
Mornin' Everyone...
Good morning one and all
I just noticed that my boyfriend is in the grid and I still can't belive that ac4/6 was a real word. So a nice start for me today. :D
Hi Frances
And Odin
Morning Odin and Frances!
kitty don't forget to pl the ac too
oh yes
Kitty did you make your doll?
yi4,6 hint please? :)
Hello all you over there! And goodbye - I'm leaving 48 for tomorrow.
Yes I did Frances
*hug* jilli!
I make rag-animals for fun (and occasionally profit too)
:-)
Hello everyone... again!
Just like me. I make patchwork b ears.
greetings MrP
Ha mrP! *hug*
Ooh! Do you have any pictures of them you'd care to share Frances?
Morning mrp
nice little grid!! good to see you all! :)
Unfortunately not. Must make a note to photograph the next one
Yes, it is very manageable so far, mrP :)
Hello Mr P! Let me know when you do Frances, I'd love to see what your bears are like.
Mr. President
souleh: to Yi4/6 is human, to forgive divine? ;)
Several of us over here made little knitted bears for Doctors Without Borders and such, which apparently help sick little kids feel better
Will do Kitty
jillibus: that sounds great. I am a knitter too. Could I help?
That sounds wonderful Jilli!
At the moment the person here who organises it has enough. It seems it's hard to get them to the right destination - they get confiscated by "authorities" who then sell them so they almost have to be smuggled.
The next time I'm in Lima, I'll remember this in 4/4
Now that is truly sad, jilli. Some "authorities" should be kicked in the (where it hurts) frequently. At least.
I agree with Sprite, that's just not right. :(
Lots of things going on are not right, right?
I'd like a famous medical center on my ham sandwich, please...
Right. But I refuse to accept that as a fact of life.
Unfortunately it happens. The problem is it is always where the people need the most help that the powers that be seem to be the most corrupt.
I shall now leave you all to contemplate that clue from Douglas, lol -- goodnight!
Later, jilli
Night jilli!
Bye jilli
Goodnight, jillibus
Nighty night Jilli!
Hi everyone, thank goodness for a smaller grid today.
what's today's theme?
Hi there Pappou
Hello Pappou!
nuts
Hey Pap!
Dinosaurs, Pappou!
oops
Now now, don't start with calling names, Pappou!
thanks, douglas, need to think of my favorite one.
Isn't it funny? That was the first word I saw in the grid.
Hehe, I keep silent. Very silent, LOL.
I do a dinosaur unit every year and know all the songs, LOL
triceratops with 3 long horns, a beak like a parrot and a frill where his neck is, triceratops with 4 big legs and a tail in back!
but my picture isn't showing
Refresh the page a few times Papppou, that should make it show up
Morning, all! My son is having a dinosaur themed birthday party this year. Again.
thanks, kitty
MORNIN' JERA
So5/14, Pappou that is. Slipped an extra P in there...
And hello Jera! :)
I was kicked out! Not nice :( Hi, Jera.
Good morning, Jera...
Morning to those just joining. Babble just had a blackout!
I remember those days, jera, I used to lend my sister all my dino props from class for nephew's party
Ah, so that's what kicked me out completely.
I see you triceratops, PT...
a blackout! Crum-bum doodle-dum!
Having trouble getting my pic to change... and I know how to do it...
yes, he finally showed himself
Some songs would be great... but I can't really start planning dinos until after the luau this weekend...
odin, I'll choose another one, I didn't know it was taken
Isn't it strange that Am7/32 is hidden in Ca10/84?
Hmmm... itsy isn't a word?? That poor little spider...
No problem...I tried changing it for quite a while but the site is weird today
There was a crossword puzzle recently where famous people were clued as anagrams of their names...Eager to use lyrical mold is an anagram for Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who gave us...
jera, let me know if you want some songs
I sure would, PT... my e-mail is in my bio...
jera, do you still have a record player?
Nah, the only anagram one can make of my name is Canard Ass. I think I better not become famous.
Ha, somewhere in storage...
Over 100 words! Woot!
nevermind, lol, I'll see if I can tape off the record player onto a tape (that is if I can find the album)
Good going Douglas!
That would be awesome... these will be 5 year olds, btw...
Not having much luck this morning...
Odin, it is the site. If I click you profile, I see the new one. I will refresh until the site follows suit.
I teach 5 year olds, need some art projects?
Oh wow, yes... that would be cool!
I used to do dino t-shirts, kids loved them (sponge-paint)
Not the site now...just not finding many words...brain is mush Sprite!
Meaningless protest that "situ" isn't in the dictionary, as in "in situ" meaning "in place"
Ah, I thought you still had trouble with the icon. Would some sleep help, Odin? ;)
Unfortunetly...I just woke up and have several Starbucks to no avail.
In that case, all you need do is wake up proper. Some coffee, I think... a nice walk in the garden...
I'd like to protest that "smore" isn't in the dictionary. mmm... s'mores...
I live on a lake but it's still dark out. Maybe at dawn...
Does anyone have the am7/32 please
I hope you all realise that it is the dictionary that is to blame, not us. We know more words than the dictionary. Frightening, isn't it? :)
jera, just sent you an email
FMitch: he is a lover, not a fighter.
FMitch Sounds like a bit of a romantic
Got it, PT!
thanks for the nudge in the right direction, foun dit.
Dip feet in lake, Odin? LOL
Morning all........
O mighty ****er of ****ing!
Hi caitlyn
hi caitlyn
I need to find a good spider pic for my protest icon today... still have my quoll up...
Oh noooooo ... not spiders Jera!!!!
Not really deep but great wildlife...otters, cranes, owls, eagles,small gators...South Fla. at it's finest.
Hello Caitlyn
Evening all.
Oh yes, FMitch... itsy-bitsy ones...
There are great spider pics to be found with google images! I found lots of them for my son's school project last year.
Hey AngB
Hi Angb
Hi Angb
Heck will have to finish grid fast then and disappear
I'll make it cute, don't worry...
Fmitch, don't let some TALK of spiders scare you off, please?
Hi Angb
Busy day ahead FMitch?
Few too many Ys tonite aren't there? Odd LOL
odin, how so fla are you? I attended a workshop years ago in the Everglades. Great experience
Maybe even get my son to draw one... it's his favorite nursey rhyme...
morning all :)
What would you call it if there were two megalomanic billionaire currency speculators seeking to buy the White House?
Angb: some of the best words today end in one of them!
Morning sherb
An election campaign, Douglas?
Excuse me, megalomaniac...
Morning sherb
East Coast...just north of Palm Beach.
That will make me very me 5/16! LOL
I don't know, Douglas, what would you call it? *prepares to groan...*
Well, yes, but that's not what I was trying to clue...
oh, ok
Morning caitlyn and sherb Quite a few words where the y is the 2nd letter too.
Hey sherb!
thanks for that clue, fmitch
I was thinking about what the plural of a well-known megalomaniac billionaire currency speculator trying to buy the White House would be...
Boy am I missing those FMitch...
I love the in8/60 and the Ro6/24 and Un5/16, for instance.
Funny that I don't know that many well-known megalomaniac billionaire currency speculators.
I've got 3 more words to find, all i's - back in 5
I am down to 7, I will join you in the h4.
I don't think the world is ready for two instances of George Soros...
The question is, Douglas, is it ready for one?
Sprite I thought you were talking about my husband!!
LOL caitlyn! I wouldn't dare!
My brain is fried, I'm entering silly stuff. Gonna catch a few more hours of sleep before the household wakes up... back later!
Night Jera!
Have a good sleep Jera
Later, Jera.
Thanks again, PT... the birthday isn't until September 24th, so don't sweat it...
ok then, I've got time, LOL
I have all the bottom row of grey boxes LOL.
Fireworks here. I really loved this grid.
Well done sprite
congrats, sprite
wtg Angb! A whole word!
WTG Sprite!!!!
Yeah for sprite!!!!
Done and fireworks here too congrats sprite
Wondered if anyone would pick that up!
Yeah foe FMitch!!....and me!!
Great job FMitch!
Are you done too caitlyn - congats!
Wtg FMitch!
And caitlyn!
congrats to all
From me too
Actually, as today is Indian Independence Day, the icon them should be Indian stuff...That's Indian as in "Om," not Indian as in "How."
Thanks all.......better do some house work now...back later to clue..bye
Smart way of putting that, Douglas :)
amore
Great, but not valid
should ne a word
That should be a word...I mean seriously?
I agree!
it is... but not in English... :)
Your meaningless protest are irrelevant...oops, slipping into Borgspeak...
oops...protests
But work on it for the Am7, Odin.
;}
Have that one...no other 7's
Never heard a Borg make that kind of mistakes, Douglas. There is still hope for you!
I monkey typed diligently without finding the second tu4
in7/32 Those you are close to ro7/36 verse romance, or a computerrelated family member
tu4 ends in "** you **, or ** you ain't my baby..."
TY SPRITE
Funny, I had trouble finding the first Tu4. The second one is fishy, except for the last letter.
Oh, you are so talking my language, sherb...thanks...
I got a gal who's always late! Every time we have a date! But I love her.... Yes I love her...
I am off, have a nice day/night/whatever all of you.
I'm gonna walk right to her gate, And see if I can get it straight, Cause I love her, I gotta ask her....
sprite - does the in7 end in S? I've got an in6 but it won't take a plural
Bye sprite ahve a good day.
Is you is, or is you ain't my baby Way you're acting lately makes me doubt
Latin plural, sherb!
Later Sprite...I'm off for work...be back later.
You's is still my baby, baby, Or has my flame in your heart done gone out?
sherb think latin pl
thanks sprite!! ...have a good day :)
it came off a different in6... nice singing Douglas :)
A woman is a creature, That has always been strange...
Just when you're sure of one, You find she's gone and made a change
I'm surprised he has any voice left sherb - doug has been singin on and off since the flip
Is you is or is you ain't my baby? Maybe baby's found somebody new.... Or is my baby still my baby true?
does the ca 10 build off the ca6, 24?
he and chj should start a group...
No Pappou, it's stands alone
oh well, it was a thought
I'm at 114...woo-hoo!
I'm not getting what you mean by think latin plural for the in7
singular ends in a vowel... plural ends in two...
Douglas, it the last syllable lose all the consonants
there are two similar in6's...
Oh, that would explain, I don't have that in6...
Forget what I said, I am mesmerised by all the ys
and don't overlook the in8/60 that sits amid them
duh... finally saw the in8!!
I got that one first LOL. Hence my total confusion. I am now going to hid back under my rock!
Meaningless protest over amos not being in the dictionary...
What's wrong with itsy?
it
it's just so bitsy
lol
LOL PappouTed
angb, after some of the words I type in, I have to wonder why it's not a word, LOL. I use it all the time
They're not called the United Arab Amirates, kay?
I've changed my icon to follow the theme
If je4/11 is in the dictionary, then Amos should be as well...
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun, He lived by hisself in the swamp
They hunted alligator for a livin' They just knock em in the head with a stone
The Louisiana law gonna getcha Amos...
It ain't legal huntin' alligator down in the swamp boy...
Now everybody blamed his old man, For makin' him mean as a snake...
The sun is out, the sky is blue There's not a cloud to spoil the view But it's raining, raining in my heart
good morning...
When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy Would use him for alligator bait...
F Mitch. Icon? This car looks great, not extinct.
The weatherman says, "Fine today" He doesn't know that you've gone away And it's raining, raining in my heart
lol it's a Ferrari Dino
Oh, oh, mi6, oh, mi6 Oh, what's gonna become of me, oh
Oh no. Shame on me. Mind you with my bank account, wouldn't know what one looked like!
hi pam
morning pam :)
Sherb - you are my sunshine, my only sunshine ... Thnx
:) ...maybe we should just have musical clues...
Douglas would be a winner...
Yes, but we would have to wait so long while he got to the end of the song LOL
oooops--should get moving, see you all later....
hi all!
Hi and Bye pam
Hi Fran Love your take on the the theme today
bye pam :) ...hi FranMag :)
thanks, stid had the same idea, hers is an old commodore though.
hi sherb!
ang, is your icon and iguana or a tuatera?
That's a beautiful beige toaster FranMag!
A tuatara of course, NZ's living dinosaur.
I need to get ready for work, see you all later
My icon is an IBM 370/155...I keed, I keed...
hi douglas, i'm sure someone has converted one into a toaster at some point.
Whoops. Forgotten to order the groceries. Will be back later. Good luck foraging.
ang, i spelled it correctly and the changed my spelling before i posted!
later ang!
By virtue of diligent monkey typing, I have all the 4's...now I might have to do some thinking...Hmm...
I now have only 2*2*2*2*2 words left!
Bye Ang and Pappou
bye pappou ted!
that's pretty good douglas!
This is a good stopping place...bye for now...
bye douglas!
later to all those leaving... :)
it won't accept itsy, but it will accept nu5... no logic at all...
thanks sherb, missed that one
Imagine if we had a sensible dictionery behind the grid, we would be looking for huge amounts of words every day.
clue for ca 10/84?
don't have it yet ragalla.
ca + m6/21 + Italian 2 letter ending
Ragalla ca + type of English dancing + reverse info tech
Great clue Frances, thanks
You're welcome Becca
got it thanks
camorrist
Extend it
sorry wrong box
thanks ragalla! great clue! :-)
isn't it a bit random with regard to its acceptance of proper nouns?
'Fraid so misspips, one of the drawbacks of the Enable dictionery that is behind the grid.
if it's accepted then it has another meaning.
good morning everybody:)

ah!
clues before I head off?
made me smile when I saw it Becca
am 5/14?
Thx Fmitch
a+ small rodents
Thx Grace - I'd just monkeyed that as you clued it!
HI all, may I have clues for the 10 and the 8's please
ca10 - ca+english folk dance+pronoun
sorry - reverse the pronoun
Becca, have no idea what an english folk dance is
Hi all! The english folk dance is M***** the Cat, peri
Look up English folk dance on Google - it's also the name of a famous cat.
smore
Sorry!
It's not there! Whaddya mean it's not there!
won't take it anyway, matty. I tried too
Like your icon Matty
Thanks, Becca!
thanks Becca and matty got the ca10 but no def when I click on the ? mark. Learned a word for English folk dance though :)
Try googling images of it - those boys do look silly!
The only def I got was by taking off the last letter - and assumingit was the same thing :)
is there an in8, if so would someone please give me a clue, thanks
in8/60 - closeness
peri, it's followers of "A secret organization formed at Naples, Italy, early in the 19th century, and used partly for political ends and partly for practicing extortion, violence, etc"
Hey, Matty -no disrespect for English folk dancing!
thanks, fmitch!
hi babblers, how's the grid...152 left here!
Afternoon Seano
Heh Becca! None whatsoever. But wearing bells on your legs is never a good look ;)
Hi seano - fabulous icon.
yw Une and Afternoon seano
still working on the in8, what does the other 8 start with please
;-) glad you like it!
Very true, Matty, very true!
hi seano - I'm not liking the grid much, but maybe that's just me
JFB - what's your icon?
the other 7 & 8 comb start ro and end up with a female relative
I'm saying nothing about yours Becca - life long Cliff fan here!!
thanks FM will look for them now
Ah, he's a national icon really!
Thanks mitch! Never heard of that one!
Hi amanda :0
hi, everyone! I just found an 8. nearly tripped over it...
Any clues for the cy's? Monkeys aren't working hard enough
thanks FM, new words for me
becca, "parsley, sage, rosemary, and cy**"
Like your clue unea!
Thx, great clue but got that one and it's plural already
change last vowel on cy4/8
Cornish crest - as outmoded as the dinosaur now. Fisherman on one side [just about extinct thanks to the EC] tin miner on the other [completely extinct] and the bird of Cornwall the chough in the middle. Thats a success story - they've just been re-introduced. I'll get off my soap box now!
Got it, thanks Une.
and Latin plural, becca
Never seen that before JFB
That is a sad tale JFB
how bout the other j - I've got the one that sticks out, I'm guessing the other is some obscure currency or something...?
it's aje4/11, I got it from counting the tiles
you've taught me a new bird, JFB..
Ah you twitcher you Aloy
lol, what's a "twitcher"??
Thanks FMitch - always ready with a good clue
FMitch Heres another sad tale - work is just about to interfere with babbling! [ Sob]
Me too JFB, I'm going to do 3 more words, then work.
thanks mitch - odd that that is not a proper noun...
ALoy, a twitcher is a bird watcher
Thats what bird watchers/ornithologist are called in the UK - it's a nickname in a nice way
Thanks for the je4.11 clue - nice to see a grey box before I leave. Bye all.
yes, I am proud to be a twitcher! (-:
At last - fireworks. Now I can get on with the rest of the day. So much to do! See you all tomorrow.
hurray for Frances!
Woo hoo frances!!!
bye Frances, and congrats!
Shame JFB and Becca - I've been working whilst having the chat log running Woohoo Frances
Right - time to work. I'll be back
Good morning just dropped in to see if I could get a clue for ca10/84?

Stuck again, need a clue on me5/14?
Stuck again, need a clue on me5/14? Please
me + not feeling well
Marc - like one of those table-top thingies in the desert
I think we've had this discusseion before, but remis really is a word, isn't it?
remiss is a word-- in french remis is the plural of "put back"--
amanda, i just looked it up and its not in my dictionary
amanda, i just looked it up and its not in my dictionary
it's a chess thing - french, granted, but I'm pretty sure it's used in english
amanda, the grid allows french, italian, spanish, yiddish words and i think its according to the mood "its" in
so true, annie!!
I have been trying to put amore, amor, etc into the grid and i thought it had been accepted before, bad grid!!!!
just looked at a chess glossary: remis is German for "draw"
just learned a new word, thanks
I really wish someone would re-work the enable list. It is so wayward! Explain why it accepts e4, but not amor?
it does seem sometimes the we're all playing games with Enable!
head games, that is
can I have a clue for cy 5.18, i have the one that rhymes with thyme
or it with us!
Enable is def. playing with us, successfully i might add
Annie - change the last letter, then latin pl
amanda, thanks
is6 please?
chemistry thingy, Charm
is+4th vowel+ you and **+r
thanks, amanda.
is plus one of characters from The Simpsons minus first letter!
lol, hydra!
FIREWORKS! Anyone need clues before I run off?
yay, amanda!
congrats, amanda!!!!\
Fantastic, amandacath. I have 23 to go.
amanda, i need ca 6.24, i have the short vignettes
Only with the list - my patience seems to be thin the past couple of days
ro7 and 8 please?
ca - the shirt one? Undershirt?
ca6/24 = ca + m*** (4/5) en place
ro7&8 - relative(s) who lives in the eternal city?
its sloooooow
its sloooooow
oldfashioned FRench spelling of romance. Think of the ha5/14 word (ro7 and 8)
thanks, got it right away, but the grid is slow, great clue
here too Annie - it's driving me crazy!
amanda, where are you?
I must be thick, still can't get me5/14, help please/
in Germany
thanks, hydra and amanda - it took a while!
someone gave a great clue for me5 earlier - me plus ill
me5/14 = me + I'm gonna *** my dog on you.
marc, the def. is "Of, characterized by, or adapted to a moderately moist habitat" - though I never would have guessed it
marc, me + when you have the flu you are ****, leave off last letter, clue given before
thanks, guys got it, for some reason I just couln't see it.
happens to me all the time

boy, my message wasnt that important
Hi, Inge. Terribly slow today. Drives you crazy trying to work on the grid.
I still need 58 words; just finished tutoring German. Got to get back into English mode. does anyone out there know the word
canman in English?
I never heard of that word, and the girls gym teacher wants to know what it is in German.
Oh1 ciocia, I thought it was just my PC that was slow
Not you Wren. It's everybody!!
Fireworks! not a bad grid today at all.
inge - can you use it in context?
Morning all. Inge, the word "canman" is not to be found in the OED. YW
woohoo Angelsong.
back at last!
Good morning Hetty
morning, hetty
congrats to everyone that finished while I was kicked off the grid! hmmmph
Hi there, jude, annie, just entered my greeting in then "add word" box!
hetty, I couldnt find it in Websters either. This gym teacher must be confused.
thanks annie...who needs clues
hi angelsong...i'm in austin too!
hi there...you with the stars in your eyes
morning all
I'm having an horrendous time with this grid today, chj. Right now I'm trying to figure out the long ca's.
pajama game, great show, saw the original, great cast
If its not in the OED, it doesn't exist
Hi klaurel
Lucky you, Annie. Would have loved to see the original cast.
you mean the original from the 50s or 60s
*it's
ro7?
it was that part of my life when I saw almost every show on Bway during the 50's, great fun!!!!
ca 10 ca + cat food cat + **, a drink with jam and bread
my students seem to think it means toilet, might be a recent slang expression
Love Broadway. Awful expensive now. Don't get there too often anymore.
darn. smore should be a word!
I saw The Pajama Game in London In January 1956 with the original cast
I totally agree klaurel!
the hit shows are $100 and up but sometimes you just HAVE to see it
im so envious...i wouldkill to see the original oklahoma, southpacific, king and i, guys and dolls, my fair lady
Thx chj. What a word!!
wren, wasnt it wonderful!
i did get to see rex in my fair lady
Saw the King and I with Yul Brynner. Awesome.
wow
chj, Not Oklahoma, was too young, but saw the rest, the original of guys and dolls blew me away, saw it about five times
Lucky you chj. Never saw My Fair Lady on broadway.
seen the movie dozens of times
Rex Harrison and julie andrews were so perfect together in my fair lady
the critics all think brando and sinatra were miscast but i love them in those roles
my experience goes back further, our drama club from Danbry CT saw Paint your Wagon on Broadway as well as Ondine
*DAnbury
Brando was okay, Robert Alda was great but wasnt a name in Hollywood
speaking of pajama game, my sister saw the current show with harry connick who lives in new canaan i think
and didny sam levine do nathan detroit
does anyone have the ro7?
Bring back Sam Levine and Stubby Kaye BS Pullley!
Yes, sam levine played nathan detroit
ro7 ro*ania + your mothers sister
Annie, among the shows my Alan and I werein together was "My Fair Lady". He used to say"There isn't a word in your mouth or a thought in your head that I haven't put there!" wothb grea conviction, and everyon ethought our private life was just like that! His medical practice ballooned!
Hetty, a true pygmalion, what a good wife to never let on....
hetty were you married to alan lerner
ro 6/24?
Then at the end as he sang "I've grown accustomed to her face. . ." he was always crying, and so was I whe I said "I washed my face and hands afore I came, I did"
alternate spelling for prayer beads, harpjane
hi everyone! : )
ro + mi**** loves company
No, chj , y Alan is Alan Clews, doctor and actor/singer extraordinaire
Oh hetty, that is beautiful, how romantic!
{{{TO}}} Haven't talked to you in a long time.
Lucky you Hetty.
just wondering when you said alan and that he put every word in your mouth
ca6/24 please?
hi temple
thanks
hi judy! {{{judy}}}
how is the puzzle today?
chj, you are so smart. Anyway the true originator of the words was GBS
How was Musikfest this year TO?
Well, klaurel, others are whipping through it. But not me. *sigh*
it was great! nice weather, good crowds- and i became a fan of a two new bands!
The best saying from Alan came when a child asked him--"Dr. Clews, do you believe in angels?" and he answered, "Sweetheart, I married one".
Who TO?
ah hetty, that's beautiful
Hetty, you're making me jealous! LOL
Hard to live up to as our kids will testify!
<LOL> Judy, oh, great, so I am in big trouble
Hetty, keep this up and I will be bawling! You and Alan are lucky to have found each other.
seven nations and gandalf murphy and the slambovian circus of dreams (my favortie of this year)
It's not luck, Annie. It's a matter of wlll power, I think--being always worthy of love is by no means easy.
any help for the CA 10/34
hi to
But once you've promised to do so, then you try to love unconditionally, and blow me down , it works
I need the one before that, ca6/24 please

hey thefiz!!!
wonder why the background changes to dark? bye, nut!
hey fiz!
dunno TO
bye nutty butty!
bye nutty - sorry to miss you! TO love your take on dinosaur!
we had animated icons in here before (flask and i each had one on the furniture theme day) and since then, they wouldn't work...perhaps they don't bode well for the site.
looks cool in your profile, though, cath.
Hi, Fiz!
who IS that TO?
tks fiz
cathyar: marc bolan
hi judy, to, cath, mamabear, et al....
and, where, pray tell do I find the 'theme of the day' and then how, pray tell again, do I change my picture?
HI Fiz!!! Hi et al!
gramma,yes thanks--my ti4 was what used to call tins--a fellow brit reminded me
oh... ok. at the risk of collecting a fish without even an obvious word, who is mark bolan?
Hi Fiz
hams
hunt
{{{#Judy}}}
oops
sorry
seano had an animated icon today, and I had a dragon the other day
sorry cath - click on my icon - leader of band t rex
please forgive - moving over the other box now...hanging my head in shame
so they DO still work. i wonder what makes the difference?
ciociajudy, your profile is quite possibly the funniest thing i've ever read - have a little time on your hands? or dino-obsessed?
ahh... i see the relation to dinosaurs then. tks
It like to educate the masses!! LOL It's from one of the Flintstone websites.
i love it Judy!
thx Cath
ok..bk to the grid for me. i've 17 left
why isn't itsy a word? what about the itsy bitsy spider?
go cath! you can do it!
cath: you are way to young to know that band - lol!
go cath go
thank you mamabear - i've been wondering the same thing...
I was complaining about "smore" earlier, bear. Don't they know know what a "smore" is???
lol...TO...how old does one have to be to know the band?
or smore?
becoming very disillusioned very quickly with this here grid
s'more has an apostrophe...perhaps that's why it won't take
Can we help bear?
Verily this grid doth suck on toes ..
oh, mamabear, keep you chin up! we're here to help!
didn't know that Cath *slinks away with head down*
*sigh* let's see...early 70's?
only have 25 more minutes for lunch....... I have 2 I's from the upper corner. good place to start, huh?
Well put torgone!
*hands judy a smore to make her feel better - carefully cuts out the apostrophe*
thx Fiz
fine if you have a foot fettish, Tor
well...i was born in 66!!! but i suppose i may not have been listening to that kind of music in the early 70's. what was their genre?
hi, back again, couldnt get in for a while
lol fiz and judy re s'mores
hi annie - welcome back!
thanks Fiz
hi annie
and cath
hi annie
hi mama
hi annie
and temple
Hi Annie
mama , everytime I see your icon it makes me smile, animals are the best parents
Hi Judy
I was knocked off for a while, too, Annie.
i understand why proper names aren't allowed but what about locations? tunis,timor - i think that should be AOK....
*shares drink with Fiz to wash down the smores*
thanks, Annie - I'm glad I make somebody smile on this planet
thx judy! *puts unwanted apostrophe down garbage disposal*
fiz, there are places and capitalized but many foreign words are allowed....hmmmm
cath, they were rock - i suppose at the time they were considered teeny bopper stuff. anyone else care to help with that?
*they
hmmm...one would think i'd have known of them then!
no fairsies. i think places should be allowed capitalized or not!
T-Rex were kind of glam-rock .. One of the first ..
words that I never heard of and will probably never use are allowed here...ie. ca10
ahhhh...connection error!!! 12 left...pls dr. god...don't boot me now!!! *begs on bended knees*.
Lost everybody there for a minute. Had to refresh. Can we help cath?
go cath go!
annie, i don't know about you but i find it comes up in everyday conversation all the time! LOL
going for the biggies - anything on the 8's? or 7's?
Could you tape those conversations, Fiz? Would love to hear them! LOL
actually fiz, I did use it today at the supermarket.
ty tor!
well you know RI is heavily italian....it actually does occasionaly come up in politcal reporting.
thinly sliced ca10, annie?
LOL
well...i have run out of steam with 49 left...
Fiz, with olives, anchovies and zuppa di mussels on the side
Take a martini break TO
i'm workin on some stray o's

temple, enjoy your lunch! do you teach?
ty judy!!! :)
sounds good. i've got a weird combination of foods i grabbed from the fridge on my way out the door today including a whole cucumber. what was i thinking
mmm.... red lobster..... *looking at shaved peach in despair*
am7/32; ro7/36 and 8/50
je+quonset **t
anyone have the ro6/24?
ro7/36 = ro + ma4/6 + the cross letter
*hands mama a chunk of cuke* Wanna share?
am 7/32 TO - think of lover - Italian word for love
ty fiz! no annie - i am a logistics manager
i am not cluing because I have practically nothing
come on mama - they serve lunch until 4
any clues for cy 6/30? thanks
Fiz, it sounded as if you had the summer off, hence, the question about teaching. sounds impressive!
ro 7 & 8 starts with ro and ends up with female relative (+ pl)
witch - you went pro!
cy 6.30 cy + the baby found in the rushes (biblical) and leave off last cons
yes i did i promissed last week
anyone have the ro6/24?
hi mitch! love the icon!
Thanks TO it's a bit different like yours.
hi whitewitch - see you finally got your flag! (annie beat me to the clue - i've been trying to think of something good. nice work annie!)
ro6/24 - an odd spelling for the beads catholics use
re5 please?
yes but now i have telegram sam and jeepster running through my head!
I'm having some difficulty w/the RI6,after the frosts. Help, please?
ty
when in doubt, its either shakespeare or the bible
re5 send it in
Girl I'm just a jeepster for your love ..
Hey fiz - can you run that je word passed me again?
I still have a T.Rex album as in one you play on a record player
ty gramma

ST6 is to stump. spelled w/a sometimes vowel
You're so sweet, you're so fine I want you all and everything just to be mine
fiz, yep finally the flag
thanks for the ri 8)
st* (what you get in your eye) + you and ** with another vowel in the middle
*dancing around desk while TO sings*

I'm monkeying the st and not quite getting it. TY for the clues...

the st word sounds like the st 5/16 but with a different spelling jwilt
and he was only 29 whe he died in the car crash here in the UK.
jwilt - start with the 1st 3 letters of a pig pen
got it ! TY
hello all
mama in8/60 is a word for close emotional (and/or physical) connection.
yes...but there has been no great revival of his music
in7 is the first 6 letters of the 8, but ends in 2nd vowel
i'm going to be on hold all my life....
No, it was of the time and unique to him but that was it I think.
i'm going to be fat all my life
rennie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awww Torgone.... such a sucker for love, eh?
I only have one, cath
a ceiling fan?
Mama to you have the ro 7?
Done, finally!
me too, tor ..... HR, I am (hopeless romantic)
a fanatic?
The ending is actually like "one who does" ..
yep - it's the am 7 I need.... still looking
woohoo Gramma. *hands over another martini*
lol rennie - seems like he might be that sort of a voyeuristic type....
me too...i think that's why i can't keep a man....after awhile they detest the mushiness of me
Yay, Gramma!
i am hopelessly devoted to fans
*watch the ceiling fan*
I hope it's vodka....mmmmmmm, yum
YAY GRAMMA!!!!
you are a big fan of fans then?
any clues for st 6/27 please
congrats, gramma!!!!!
I'm more of a window fan meself ..
thunk...bmpyty bmpty bmpty
my am monkey isn't working
I thought you were going for that lobster bisque, TO.
i don't like lobster...
LOL Torgone
interesting...gold toes day tomorrow? what the heck is gold toes?
May I offer to help? I can try.
not for you, for me! LOL
is a window a fan a peepster?
mama, love in italian + ending for one who is (as torgone said)
good afternoon folks!
ha 6/24 please
did someone say jeepster?
lol rennie - when i have the window fan in i keep the curtain open too - so perhaps they make peepsters out of the neighbors.
Hi Kristin
Not in Amsterdam ren!
got it! thanks...... see yas later I hope......
hey gold toes kris! how are you?
what is a bathroom vent fan?
IF I can change my icon (im helpless in that area) i must have a gold toe icon!!!!
hi judy hi ren
HA 6 is plural think of a ghost or your Mom's sister
hi kris -
Hi kristin!!!!
oh no fmitch! did i make a fox paw?
ha 6/24 is the plural of ha 5/14 - what ghosts do ha*** house
gold toe icon...what?
thanks for am 7.... fan of love hihihi
hi annie and TO
oops off of hold now gotta talk
thanks gramma, what about the st 6/27
ro 7/36?
but what the heck is gold toes???
gold toe icon is for tomorrow and it says it's for KristinC
is that as opposed to bronzing?
very ominous theme...
ro 7/36 + double hump letter + your mother's sister
RO + a consonant + your uncles wife
maybe it means a toe ring made of gold
oh...then I know. Rennie always calls me gold toes and she must have suggested it as a theme...how nice
thank you
I'm still confused Kristin. What's the reference?
pls kristinc...what's it mean?
magzel, st is to really stump someone. ..spelled w/a sometimes vowel
Gold To-oe! WAH WAH WAH! He's the man with the golden toes!
cathy...Ren thinks my icon (really the space needle) looks like gold toes
i looked it up and there is a song called gold toes, but
how cool that it ended up being tomorrow...the month anniversary of our child passing away...now I have something to look foward too
ok...took a look at your icon kristinc...but do not see the relation
as far as an icon to use...got me...paint your toes? :)
oh...kristinc...so sorry!!!!
cathy...good...looks like the space needle to me too :)
gold nail polish?
BRB
I have a green thumb but not gold toes
I think that what they were going for cathy...we'll have to ask Ren when she returns
u lost a child?
recently????
gold toe is a brand name of socks
no green thumb for me...you're in the presence of a plant killer
cathy...we lost our first baby at 36 weeks...found out today they think it was a cord accident...he was born July 16th (due date today in fact)
ok we'll say you have a black thumb then kristinc :)
fair enough fmitch...my husband is charge of the plants at our house
oh...kristinc...i'm so sad to hear that. *prays for lost unborn child*
thanks cathy :)
needless to say it will be nice to have gold toes day tomorrow (no matter what people do w/ it)
yes...agree kristinc
any have ri6/21
Kristin, the same tragedy happened to me(it was a cord accident) 42 years ago, way before you were born, it will get better, I promise. The reason I am telling this is that you mentioned the cord. There was a knot in the cord and the oxygen was not being provided to our son. It happened during delivery and a C section was not performed. It will get better.
can someone clue the 10...don't have the list yet
kristin - it must be hard to be upbeat right now - but you're doing a great job
Tomorrow is golden kristinc and hubby and baby day then.
eww...gold toe is also an insect repellant
cath - that's appropriate for socks
thanks annie and jilli and fmitch...we were actually glad to find out (as much as you can) today that it was a cord issue rather than a genetic concern...gives us hope for the future
that's funny cath
yes...that is true kristinc...you can still have a child!
I need a clue for a couple of mo's please. One is the first 6/21 not the cat and the other is a 5/12, not the wet one or plural of extra. Can anyone help, thanks
Hi! I'm back - finally home.
hi matty
the 10 is ca + ****** the cat (cat commercials) + not coffee but *** (tinker the spelling)
jilli, are you here?
Oh, Kristin - I've just read the log - I'm so sorry for your loss.
yes, annie
thanks judy...I'll work on that
thanks matty...haven't seen you in a while
well...i have my icon for tomorrow now....it is a gold toe ring with baby feet design on it...in honor of your child and you kristinc
mo6/21 = extras with an extra i
got the 10...strange one
i'll put it up later as it is a bit early in the day for tomorrow's icon
thanks cathy...quite special
I agree Kristin. Where do they find these words.
that 10 is apparently related to a mafia family...perhaps the family name? i dunno.
they allow a word like the 10 but not "internet". Go figure
Jilli, I still cant change my icon (did it once as you see) but cant do it again (it embarrassing). can you in a very simple way tell me again. could you email it to me at astern@aol.com, pretty please
And no smores.
I tried that one too matty
no inuit either
Annie - click on My account. In your account, there's a little representation of your icon. Under that , is a link 'change icon'. Go in there.
ya...and if it IS a mafia family name, would it not be a proper noun? therefore unallowable?
sorrys
Torgone, as usual, you are the best. Got them and thanks sweetie. ***FIREWORKS***
I'm baaaaack.
i also thought inuit should be allowed rae, but i'm not sure if perhaps it is spelled with two N's
wow i just got totally distracted by the wealth of information on the internet - back and focused on the grid now...
well done nancy!
ok, annie, will do - a bit later - I have 24 to go and need to get it done - lots of other things being neglected!
WTG, Nancy!8)
it's one n and we could ave had inuit and inuits...they had toque the other day!
yw luv!
congrats nancy!
brb...gotta go stick a roast in the oven
ri 6/21 please
Jilli, whenever you can, appreciate!!!!
yay nancy!
ri 4/5 + ro 4/4 -r
Annie, are you using a PC or a Mac?
MAGZEL, plural of 5 before it.
woohoo Nancy
Oops, I got so excited, I gave you the re 6.
evidently the ca10/84 are/were flashy, high class mobsters in Italy ..
HI all, need help with in8/60 and in7/32 please
Hi Peri
hi Peri
Annie - give me a minute - I'll help.
add a vowel to the in 6/21
*whispers in peri's ear* peri, in8 is close sensual time....
hi peri
Jilli, i was away for a while/im using a PC
hi peri...in8 is closeness ends in sometimes vowel the in7 is the same first 6 letters plus second vowel
good, annie - I know nothing about macs!
CJ, I added a vowel to the in6 and found the in7 but not the 8
i know nothing about either and im not kidding.
peri, alot of people need help w/in8. When you share a really special relationship w/someone
peri, alot of people need help w/in8. When you share a really special relationship w/someone
i have the in 8, not the 7
ok, back for the final 10 ... charging into the grid..
the in 8 is two consonants on the end of in 6/21 (last consonant is the 3 letter block)
Oh excuse me. I hiccuped
Yea, got the in8, thanks for the help
annie to get the 7, take off the last 2 letters of the 8 and add the second vowel
go aloyisius go
thanks, kristin
yup
now I can't find the in5/10
Aloyisius, good luck. If I can help, I will.
NM found it, plural
tx, gramma (-:
thanks peri...needed both of those and I'm listless
kristinc, read back in the log, are you and your husband doing okay today?
hi everyone! I've been struggling with the ca10 and googling ins't doing me any good. Can anyone give me just a bit more of a nudge-all I find if I go for mobsters is a truckload of stuff around the Sopranos and the like
kristinc, I'm so*** that you are listless. Try some tea or a good nights sleep
ca + ***** the cat (cat commercials) + *** and crumpets (different spelling)
Love the icon Eva!
ca 10 ....ca +mo (type of chair) plus crossed letter and vowel
peri...we're doing alright, some days harder than others but we're making it
gramma... :)
Eva, Ca + the name of a cat that did cat food comercials + sounds like a beverage not coffee but **
just constantly amazed at how many words I've yet to encounter, like se5.14, "to crowd together"... I mean, I have never used that or seen it!
peri...thanks for askings btw
thas me finished see u all later bye bye
Afternoon all.
Kristinc - so nice to see you back.
hooray hannah...well done!
wtg, hannah lou!
hi mm
TA DA!! Thanks everyone for the wonderful clues for the ca10. Got it now
Hi MM
Howdy, musicmom!
hi musicmom...haven't seen you in a while!
woohoo hannah lou
Hi Music Mom
I haven't been around. Too busy with summer activities with the kids.
congrats, hannah
They go back to school one week from tomorrow!
Congrats Hannanh
going to take a break, see you all later
and thanks re the icon Ciocia-the subject of which is lying next to my elbow right now
I don't go back to work (outside of the home) for a month after that.
bye annie
Cya, annie
Eva, your cat is beautiful!
musicmom...good for you--they only have so many summers (and then you get a month to recover :) )
Yep. There will be babble time when the twinkie pulls away:-))
brb,switching laundry
thank you peri....he knows it all too well-not so beautiful when at 1 in the morning, like last night, he is trying to jump on the bed with a limp rodent in his mouth
I've found myself playing more and more even when I know I can't finish. I didn't finish yesterday. I left 20.
Eva, eewwww!
WEEWEEWWW eva!
FYI--there is a blog for KristinC that was started last month during her very difficult time. It's under other interests in the Babblers Anonymous blog.
and with that...my family has come up from portland and we're heading out to lunch...thanks to all for the kind words, back for my other 60 later
by Kristin
*waves hi to merp*
bye*
bye!
rose
ooops
merp grunts back to atalante
sorry out of practice!
ewww Eva. Just noticed a rodent in the basement yesterday. First time for that. I have 3 cats but nobody ever dumped any presents.
By Kristin
grunts? grunts???
that's the second one in three days-he's an indoor cat, and the mice don't usually come in at this time of year, although it has been unusually cold. I actually prefer them alive
I have one cat, 10 + 1/2 years old, her name is Zoe-Anne and she is very busy napping at my feet.
well waving isn't his thing atalante...conservation of energy being one of the primary rules of being a cat
I inherited two and took in a stray--Tigger, Jasper & Meeko. And none of them like each other
*giggles* true!
what a beautiful name, zoe-anne.
thanks Eva, She was just Zoe at first and then my mom died so I added Anne in memory of my mom.
Annie, I've emailed you. Hope it helps!
what a nice gesture, Peri.
having a problem with se words, just have the se5/14
I had 2 cats years ago who kept up their cold war for about 8 years....every they pased in the hall they did the cat exchange which must translate as something like "f___ you". They slept, one on each side of me, on the bed, and never crossed the center line
the other two se are one truck and many trucks
peri, think BIG truck
am7/32 anyone, please?
se 4/5 +se 5/12...the round(s) before the final
the c's are impossible this time. usually they arent so bad
totally know what you're talking about Eva. Two of mine sleep on the bed but hiss and growl at each other.
aloy and inge, thanks so much
am 7/32 is a person who loves - think of the Italian word for love and add three letters
am + flower seller - the 'fl'
hi all hows everyone doing with the grid

chj - TempleOwl has T Rex today....

There once was a man from Nantucket Whose Hoover would no longer suck it. He kicked it and swore But it ran nevermore So he said, "The poor thing's kicked the bucket."
you can get in trouble all by yourself chj!
t-rex the band
what'd he do eventually chj....say F***it?
lol vic
that i can...and have
cute poem Vic
What can I say. I'm a prude! :)
yeah, something along those lines
no prudes out here in babbleland...just people who hold back from crossing that bad ole line.
Hi everyone. I "only" have 90 words to go!
i think that might have been the original version before it was spiced up
go krista!!!! clues?
Oh, Judy, I did the same icon. Sorry.
it's ok krista...the same, only different!
lol
Oh dear - my version of Nantucket is far filthier than that...
Well, I just made this one up now so as to have a G-rated version. I'm not sure I've never actually heard the original!
Great minds run in the same direction, Krista. No problem.
go matty...give it up!
if you google the first line its pretty easy to find
I can't. It'd get me banned. I also know one about a man from Raceen.
Not yet, Cathy, thanks..I"m at work and haven't gone to a list yet. OK, Judy. Yours is so cute. I still watch the Flintstones.
oooh, i dont know that one
does it end with spleen....or obsene
lol...i found the nice version
He invented a bonking machine. Both concave and convex, it could serve either sex... Entertaining itself in between.
the second ca 6/24?
HAHAHA matty...that's sooo funny!
i really am rofl
What a genius that man from Racine was!
ca6/24 - a loose shift
oh of course! thank you
Love it, Matty!! There was an episode of Boston Legal involving an antique bonking machine...
guess my clue was too long..started typing it and u got it from vic
Really? Wow.
can i date that racine dude?
Can I learn to spell Racine?
You don't need the dude, Cathyar!
lol cath!
The couple divorced and they were fighting over custody of it in court! It was hilarious.
just the machine i guess vic
racine was a very famous french playright - he wrote "Britannicus"
oh krista i so miss boston legal...unfortunately its on tuesday nights when i have trivia night at the local irish pub
LOL Krista!!!
best show on tv
trivia is WAY more important than bonking machines
where can i buy one?
lol
(sorry...been awhile)
Weep for little Willy Little Willy is no more What he thought was H20 Was H2SO4
why is it that bonking is ok but f***ing is not
New season doesn't start until the end of Sept., chj..maybe you could start taping/TIvo'ing it then... LOL Cathy!!!
Because it
careful chj...as i said, it's been awhile..stop that dirty talk!!! (teehee)
oops - sounds much more polite.
Like shagging.
Or boinking.
The i is all important.
or shtuping, which was in the grid this week
oh baby...shtupe me...shtupe me!!! hahahaha
Haven
what an odd word
DANG - sorry again. Been typing a lot a work today and keep hitting enter...haven't heard that word in a while, chj..Yiddish
one of my alltime favorite movie lines from my favorite year...uncle says "so swannie, did myou shtup her?"
that was uncle mortie played by lou jacobi
I guess I'll be the only one to say I liked that last poem, mattygroves.... hehe
i also liked it matty ;)
I'll be the first one to be publicly ignorant..what is H2SO4?
(mmm...roast is beginning to give off wonderful aroma thru the house)
hydrochloric acid
*growllll.* soooo hungry!!!!!!!
Little Willy with a taste for gore Nailed his sister to the door. Mother said with humour quaint "Willy, dear, you'll spoil the paint"
Krista - sulfuric acid *grin*
and h***y ;)
eww...matty!!!!
ah i stand corrected
AHHHHH - thank you. Like I always say, Babble is educational on SOOO many levels!!
Hydrochloric is HCl :)
i flunked chemistry
Another good one, that was.
not really but i hated it
H2SO4 is sulphuric acid -nastier than hydrochloric - hilarious verse though!
i flunked physics
There's one about Aberystwyth...
is that why youre so quarky nut
i'm in the chemistry business
Go on Jilli!
he he he chj -
I'd better not
renfield returns from some real business
Oh, now..you brought it up, so you have to tell us now, Jilli. :)
rennie you missed the x-rated stuff

lol
ca 10 ca + cat food cat + **, a drink with jam and bread
cy6 cy + jazz great **** allison
how u all doing
Hi white which, I wasn't ignoring anyone. My contractor just called. AC units on the roof or on the third floor deck...
great clue for the 10 chj!
or cy6 cy + ****y on down the road
And Yes, I love World cup
ty fiz
Thanks for the ca --- i was leaving out an r --- I can't count<G>
There was a young maid from Aberystwyth, Who took grain to the mill to make grist with. The miller's son, Jack, Threw her flat on her back, And united the parts that they p****d with.
Got the cy also. Thanks again everyone!
I just like the rhyme
I have just finished, got the fireworks.
bravo Ex
nice imagery jilli
yay ex
I need to save these...so clever...thanks, Jilli. :) (is that a real place?)
Found one for Aloyisius too
No point in going downstairs yet, hubby is watching Wales on the TV, I'm not a fan of football
Yay, ExWren!
Oh yes, Krista - in Wales.
By that spelling, it had to be Wales I suppose!
deutsch - your team should be better in the future
ex....i love the name basingstoke
Keep it clean, chj.
monty python used to refer to basingstoke all the time....and bolton
Now I MUST go and get lunch!
oooh, you could make a great limerick with basingstoke
woohoo Wren. Sorry. I'm a little late. Actually working for a while. LOL
maybe mattygroves can take a crack at it
Bracknell as well, I suspect.
It is traditionally thought of as a boring place, but there is always something to do, an excellent concert Hall and plenty of activities to get involved in
I used to live at Bracknell
se 5/12?
Amazingstoke, I've heard it called ;)
whitewitch, if they play more international teams, I think they will improve. They have little support here.
they sound funny and im sure they have an additional connotation to brits that we dont understand
Deutschland did very well. I was happy to see them win!
(AC units on third deck)
Hi gang -- should I start?
that is the point, deutsch, they need more support.
Hi cybernan! Go for it!
thanks for the compliment about the german team
hi cybernan
i was soooooooooo sad when we lost....
Soccer, as we call it here, aka fussball, is not well attended. Most people prefer the rugby ripoff of American Football, or the slow ver of cricket, Baseball.
cnan...are the limelighters for the boy band theme or the dinosaur theme
se 5/12?
se + title for single woman minus one double letter
I was sorry to see Germany lose,too
Hi all :) I have a question about the word dictionary? How can a word score but not be in the book like the big ca10, 84?
thank you
Baseball the SLOW version of cricket?! Cricket can last 5 days...with no results
i know deutsch...my boyfriend is from the states
Matty, LOL Yes, there is that.
i saw the final day of the test match between england and india in 1971
deutsch- see australia...soccer was the national sport number 4 now it is number 1
Lucky you, chj! My husband's going to Thursday's first day of the test England v Pakistan.
its tough to get excited about a sport where one team can take a 300 to 0 lead
Wow, then there's hope for the US, white!
MaMaWa, sorry for the lame answer, but we always complain about that. I wish I knew, too. I am often eager to see a definition, but it's not there.
yes there is hope
Ty Krista
HA! Chj - I just told my husband that. He gave me a dirty look.
ld like to see yours team more often in the world cup they are actually good players
i meant in your team
I'm sorry I need another clue for se 5/12 I can't figger it out
rae - se 5/12 is the plural of se 4/5
se5/12 is plural of se4/5
oh. oc ourse it is
thank yous
Maybe if team usa consistently performed better in World Cup, they may gain fans.
Problem is, there's no money in soccer in the States. No room for 50 million ads.
for sure deutsch
am7? anyone?
my friend from venezuela is fan of the german team for a long time
True, Matty. I've actually thought about this and decided soccer isn't ad friendly.
hello all!

Any suggestions for the first in 6/21?
oh, and just as I was getting it, a VERY VERY loud squirrel parked himself on the fence next to my window here, and started screaming at me ... I think he was saying "hurry up dummy, finish your babble and move on to other things."
Hooray for nrkii!
in + tiny *** + first letter
We've already had the meaningless protest about inuit and inuits being words, haven't we?
Proper nouns, I think, Douglas
The innermost membrane of an organ or part, especially the inner lining of a lymphatic vessel, an artery, or a vein.
I had to go outside and ask that squirrel what his issue was -- he was staring in my window and shouting -- very strange
Then why is je4/11 in the dictionary? Hmm?
then he saw me, gave me A LOOK, and proceded down the fence to the next window of my house, where he again looked in and shouted...
he wanted to know when the acorns were comin
So then the Latin plural of the first in 6/21 is the in 7/32
there is no rhyme or reason to Enable
I am afraid of this squirrel
cable is a rhyme to enable
a rabid squirrel
maybe its nut in disguise having moved to nj
it's a male squirrel practicing in the window glass saying..."what did i do to tick you off this time baby?!"
Like I was supposed to know that thing about innermost membranes of whatever...
ren, LOL

Helena jostled Peter's arm with her elbow in that way that said, "Being thirteen is so hard... glad it's almost over."
Any help on the RO7 and RO8?

It was well past dark when they finally pulled into the yard. Helena and Inga conversed a bit and got the kitchen set up for the morning while Peter and the boys unharnessed the horse from the wagon and put the horse to bed.
YAY Kenny!

Peter listened carefully, and sent Sebastian in. "Daniel, we had best check to be sure all the doors on the outbuilding are well secured. Looks like a big blow coming in."

YAY flosey!
mire
cyber, I just can't seem to find a set of the ti 4, ti 5 - I have the wheels - help! I know it's simple,those are the ones that hurt. :-)

no, third place stid
lb have that one
ti 4 & 5: seconds and person who counts them

Helena turned from the sink, wiping her hands on an apron. "Sebastian, this is so unbecoming. What has gotten into you?"
thanks
who was first, then?
am5/16?
newcomers
nope, have that one too.
those, I mean
lb I need the last mi4/7
the plural, wolvie?
Sebastian kicked at the table leg a little too hard and hurt his toe.
peri, little bitty guys, with the sometimes vowel at the end. like the California hockey team
stid - it's complicated and you wouldn't know them. My partner and I came last in our group!!!!
"Nobody likes me, Mother, not even my cousins."
I have the secs and plural, the wheel and plural, I'm missing the other set
or ti 4 and 5: varint(s) of the ty 4 and 5
*poor little boo...what a rotten age*
meant variant
thanks lb
Inga came out of the pantry with a container of flour. She put it in the metal cupboard and hung her apron on a peg. "I'm going to read a little before bed, Mother." She shot Sebastian a withering look and swished out of the room.
that's okay - typo is my middle name. ;-)
need 3rd or 4th mi4/5 have the light rain
Helena sighed and sat down, pulling the table back in place as she did so. "Sebastian, what have you done to be liked?"
"No body loves me, I'm gonna go get drunk No body loves me, on accounta I'm a skunk
*mock horror* Jill! whatever do you mean?
last mi5/12 please
change the last letter of the light rain to a vowel (there are two that end in vowels)
peri, japanese condiment, a brownish paste
just thinking of sebastian...
in 6, the last one?
thanks lb
Sebastian didn't answer, just stood there glowering and rocking back and forth with one foot on the other, hands in his back pockets.
in 6: in + hours, minutes, seconds
last word is the last mi5/12 pretty please
I missed last night's chapter and haven't had time to actch up on babanon
mi + *** the season to be jolly
The little bird in the cage chittered and ran its beak across a stick. Helena put her hand out and pulled an old sheet over the cage while watching her son closely.
good clue cybernan
Last night's chapter is not necessary to this one, Jill.
cybernan, thanks, never seem to see that word,
`
oh good
I have FIREWORKS!
thanks for all of the help
whoo hoo Peri!
yay, peri!
congrets peri

Helena tried again, "Did you smile when you got to your Aunt's home? Did you express an interest in what the others were saying?"
thanks cybernana - tried every vowel but that one!
YAY peri!
YAY peri! (I love your flower and have planted them but the deer eat them here)

congrats peri!
good night, peri.

nite peri
night, peri
Hi all
nothing is deer-proof where I live - a few exceptions I'll mention later
Sebastian's reply was incoherent, but decidedly sullen. Helena stood up and pushed her chair under the table.
diving in to find my last 43
fireworks! finally.
hey ya mymuse
Ah, come on. Amore and smore are totally words!
harpjane, like the movie...Am***ville

"Young man, I am tired, and will not attempt to continue a one-sided conversation tonight. You may go to bed."
That's nothing. Typing in wrong box.
hi my muse, and thanks. 3 hours, with breaks for dog walking, cooking, etc. whew!
thanks wolvie
Sebastian took his hands out of his pockets and half-heartedly kissed his mother's cheek before he slunk out of the kitchen.
*doncha just wish you could freeze kids through puberty?*
krstin - 152 words, 1766 points -- but now you are pro you should be able to see that
Helena thoughtfully went back to her dishes.
thanks lbd
yw Harp
fireworks!
whoohoo Kristinc
pyros for gold toes kris!!!
Rain started to hit the roof, it came from the other side of the house. Just as it arrived over Helena's head, Peter and Daniel burst through the door, jackets over their heads.
YAY kristin!! What an appropriate day!!! Life goes on
YAY KristinC and Wolvie!
okay...gonna go trounce my husband at a card game...back tomorrow
See you tomorrow, Kristin, enjoy your card game.
thanks for the fireworks and kind words everyone!
night Kristin
see you tomorrow kris!
Wolvie!! You too? YAY!!!!!
Special hugs {{{{{{{{{{{{{Kristin}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} }} and family
The men stopped at the door and took off their muddy shoes and hung their jackets over a metal pan. Helena handed a towel to each of them, and stepped to the stove to lift the kettle lid before it boiled over.
Peter wiped the wet from his face and neck and hands; Daniel wiped his hands, neck and face.
*wow, she has her men trained! off with the muddy shoes ANd they hung up theri jackets!*
*whispers to stid* Do you know why this is special for Kristin?
Helena poured some water into the teapot and the rest into a basin in the sink. She put the towels and the wash rags into the hot water and swished them around.
*no jill, what happened?*
*she lost a newborn at 36 days, born in July - a cord problem she found out about just today.*
Daniel nipped into the pantry and came out with a bit of nut bread. Peter grabbed a couple small plates and a large knife (and the cutting board).
*different baby or the Dylan we knew about?*
*I don't know - didn't hear about Dylan but it was a boy"
**sending Kristin hugs and love via babblepathy**
oh dearest Kristin. t's and p's
*Okay, probably same baby. I will go back in the log later and catch up on today's info*
*she is being very brave and upbeat - was worried that it was something genetic and relieved that it was a cord problem*
is the chatbox shortened on the right side for anyone else?
I hope not
As Helena pulled the towels and cloths out, she laid them across a wooden rack over the drainboard. By morning, they would be dry and clean. She left the water in the basin to cool overnight.
hmm, must be on my side...figures. gotta find the pillows...night night everyone. see you tomorrow.
Daniel was already pouring out the tea when Helena sat down, her apron off and her sleeves unrolled.
nite lbd - sleep tight
good night LBD... see you tomorrow!
sweet zzzzz's lb
Peter passed a small slice of bread to her, and a large slice to Daniel. He protectively kept the cutting board on his side of the table.
Helena laughed and her eyes lit up. Peter was struck by how much she had changed since their marriage -- and how beautiful she had become in those years. It was not easy to be a farmer's wife, far from family and friends.
hmm home made bread......
Daniel watched his father's face and focused on dipping his bread in his tea. "It looks like a big storm tonight, Mother. We got the outbuildings secured, but I am afraid it was too dark to do much about your garden."
Peter grunted, "The garden should be all right son, I'm more worried about the hay in the field. It's not at all protected, and it's close to harvest."
Helena listened quietly, enjoying the warm banter. She looked from her son to his father and back. She remembered when Daniel had been less than attractive in manner and appearance; and reflected that most children turned out pretty well.
Finally, the tea and nutbread disappeared, the crumbs knocked off the plates into the slop bucket by the door. Helena stacked the cups and plates by the sink and refilled the kettle for the morning while Daniel saw to the stove and Peter put away the cutting board.
Daniel excused himself, and Peter and Helena embraced. They rarely expressed their affection for each other in front of the children, a remnant of Helena's upbringing, but they were very close nonetheless.
The rain switched around the house, gusts and puffs now from this direction, now from another, coming in burts. The plum by the kitchen porch brushed along the side of the house fitfully.
*I'm listening....
me 2
too
and me
As they walked to their room, they spoke confidentially about the evening. Peter was truly glad to see Paul -- gladder because Gilly was so happy. Helena was withholding judgment, but knew that Adam's approval was thoughtful and just.
As they pulled the covers up, Helena spoke nervously, "Peter -- what if..." she couldn't finish the thought.
"What if what, Helena?" he turned to her in surprise.
[chj tiptoes into the room and sits in the corner quietly]
*whispers hello to chj*
brb

i always thought brb was someone burping
*bites nails*

yanks win, mets lose, chj's trivia team comes in fourth

zip zero nil
did you go incendiary while i was gone
sorry folks, had a teen crisis of my own...
good girl
who me? you talking to me?
chj isn't talking to me *more sulk*
tigers beat the red sox which will make the yankee fans happy
"What if he has changed? What if he doesn't stay? What if..." she trailed off miserably.
*taking thumb out of mouth*
yea Tigers, about time too that they got back on the winning wagon
good olive drab unisexual icon
yanks play red sox sunday night
csn&y are at woodstock sunday
Peter leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Those are questions that cannot be answered, Helena. Paul has always been solid and had good reasons for his actions. We didn't get more than a tiny glimpse into the last ten years."
Helena watched Peter's face intently while he talked.
then they probably play each other fri and sat too
"And Paul didn't get more than a tiny glimpse into our lives over the past ten years, either. We will have to reconnect, it is true. But I believe that Paul is a kind and decent man, and I know that Gilly is devoted to him."
The lamp guttered a little as a whiff of wind came through the windowframe.
"If any family can survive this separation and strange reunion, it is they. And if any family can pull together and support them, it is ours."
stros and cubs tied 6/6
Peter smiled at Helena and reached over to turn off the lamp. She snuggled against his warm back and tickled him a little with the ends of her braid.
Peter roared --quietly so as not to wake the children-- and gave her an embrace that chased away all thoughts of "what if."
There was now, and there was forever, and for a moment, they were one.
silence.....
*did that satisfy the evanovich fans among you?* ;-)
stid - i think they all passed out
*man, it sure gets quiet at story time!* LOL
LOL, stid!!! Better than Evanovitch - more like Sue Grafton
all done for tonight, friends, my fingers are tired and there are dishes to do!
who is sue grafton?
(((stid))))
That really was a great final sentence - made me all wishful....
*smiles happily at Jill's compliment*
made me blush!
LOL ren! you? blush?
(actually, made me blush too, but I hit enter so quick I couldn't erase...)
yes! *-)
when does ll start the next round
well, I will go do my dishes then edit and put this chapter up at BabAnon -- Jill last night's chapter was about the doctor visiting Gilly's house the morning after Peter's visit...
see you-all later!
bye stid
nice story ;-)
Sue Grafton also writes raunchy mysteries, by the alphabet. I think Evanovitch was copying her. Sue has more subtlety and just as much humour.
sue grafton is a mystery writer who wrote books called A as in Arson
stid and Gute Nacht!
usa basketball beat korea 116 to 83 or something like that
Good Evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

Yes, I write a chapter nearly every day in the chat log (I love the comments from the peanut gallery.) and then put the chapter (edited) into Babbler's Anonymous in the "Other Interests" section. Tonight was chapter 20...

Jill -- I love Danes, there was one at a store on our way home from school when I was kid. But they don't live very long, do they? about the same as Irish Wolfhounds...
it blocks the brains nicotine receptors
Never heard of it, taz - must be only in the States
so the smoker gets nothing out of the ciag
it is by pfizer i think and it is brand new
taz, sorry about your puppy. that's a hard decision to make.
why don't we have the firework all over the screen? that would be nice.
well..time for me to go. bye all

glad to hear it, Mayne -- it's so important to your health!
tv programme on CBS which analysed WHY we smoked (mine was oral gratification according to the quiz) and then finding a substitute - a Japanese invention called Paipo. It was a hollow plastic "cigarette" which took the same energy to drag on as a real one and gave a menthol taste, and had a similar feel with a cuppa coffe, and I'm sure you know what I mean. Accompanied by the nicotine gum in tapering doses, it helped a lot. There's irony coming (stid-style)
Ironing? you mean shoving the t-shirts in a drawer and shaking them out when you need them?
Indeed! Speaking of ... how you doing, Kahlua?
stid where did you get your icon i love it reminds of scrabble
I made it, taz! was bored on small-grid day...
lol stid! now that's what I call ironying
stid - our Gt Dane breeding programme was aimed at increasing the life span of the breed. When we had to give up (ill health of hubby) we had achieved that our line was living to 11 years and one actually was healthy and happy until 14.
WOW, Jill! that is wonderful. So good to hear. They are truly lovely creatures -- smart AND nice.
jil my freind has a declawed cat and wants to adoopt a gd, Is it safe?
is 6 21 anyone?
The irony of the giving-up-smoking was that our son and family had given up and urged us to do so for the sake of our grandkids. Then they moved from Montreal to Mission, BC. When we wanted to visit them it was a 5-hour flight and I couldn't stand the idea of being without a cigarette for so long, so decided to take the plunge, and did. When we got to Mission, we found our son and his wife had relapsed, ugh!
taz is + *** sharif (change first vowel)
No I mean second vowel!

Oh Jilli, that must have made it hard for you

is there a way to bring lickety clues on same page as grid? i go back and forth
stid you're assuming I'm educated
or + ***e and shine (good morning)
stid, it depends on the prey instinct of the dog concerned. We had 2 danes when our cat adopted us out of nowhere (you'll see her in tomorrow's icon). One of them wanted to dispatch her and the other put up with her. The one who wanted to have a go was 11 years old and died in his sleep a little while later (we kept kitty apart) and the other one made friends until she too died at 11 years old. This cat is now 17.
