parly-voo?
parly voo doo
voo doo yoo too
no, it's not trolls
phantom - scheeze

like scheeze whiz?
OMG !!!! I really thought I made it up!!!

Hehehe !!!!!

try recan, like the last puzzle
tried recan ages ago

phantom: celery
oh yes, NTT
.
i really don't get why voce doesn't count. sure, it's latin, but if we can have all the greek letters... sotto voce is so commonly used in play scripts...
damn my number icon doesn't want to show up
i see a little smiley face/7, witch
whwitch, it is showing up - a lot of 123s - refresh?
oh wait! going to the profile, a smiley turns into a 7 (my number too)
.
'nother phantom - cereal
there ya go! and it changes here too! Where did you find that?
great you guys can see it and i can't that is weird
i think it's weird that i can see two and they're not in sync
jilli - i found it on a german website
what did you ask for, whwitch?
Leslie- yours is cool too - how did you find THAT!
just typed "number three" into google images... i was hoping for a "three is the magic number" icon, but couldn't find that
what is the theme?
jilli - here is the link http://www.mysmilie.de/smilies/set/
phantom: shine
numbers from 1 to 10, mambear!

hi angb - another 7, I see!
okay, one more time...why are your icons only in your profile and not showing up on the chat?
dunno, girlfriday - I see you're a 10!
try refreshing the page, gf
mine? i dont know
I tried to settle for another 7 ... I really did ... but it is my favourite.
ah, I see, thanks Leslieann
only a 10 as a sunflower...nothing more intended...
That did not make sense. Partner is gassing in my ear, and I am trying to ignore him,. Hard! LOL
hurshy? 20 to go??? Not finished yet? (I have found 10 words)
ewww ang
well it's only 138 and it has been 45 mins... 17 to go now
yes, let's taunt hurshy for having 17 left. haha!
oh hurshy - well, I do babble too much
*runs away crying*
oh geez i was just shooting for a scrunched face, not crying.
here, hursh, have some chocolate
never mind, hursh, come to mama for a cuddle and stop snivelling on my shoulder
mmmmmm yummy
see, chocolate? cuddling with jilli? what more could a girl want?
not really a phantom, but does anyone else think Scheherezade when they see this grid?
16 more words
jilli does, she thought it was a word ;)
hmm, my mind did not immediately go there, melon...
You guys are so happy at this time of day. What time is it for you? It's 1:48am here.
go hurshy!
perfect, melon!
i am on babble time (us central)
we're happy cause it's a new grid
here, too. some of us are just word-nutty nightowls.
10:49 pm PDT here, NTT - where are you?
east coast
thought so
besides, i ran away crying, where'd you get happy
USA, sorry
feeling better now, hursh?
don't be sorry, it's ok, cause you're new to this
nother musical phantom - well not a phantom, but a proper noun -Czerny as in the finger-busting piano exercises.
chocolate made you happy
i think new was being nice and really meant crazy, hursh ;)
hurshy maybe you can share with us a few tips. I've got 75 left to go...and am stuck.
well you know, that doesn't count, chocolate makes everyone happy
central time here too
fair enough
well i did say the 8 started with c, but no one seemed to care
well, I'm going to shut up for a bit (I hope)
ooh i missed that
me too
I have the 8, I dont mean clues, I mean how you go about it....
had my nose in the grid, hursh - tx for the hint.
oh... hmmm.... it's just my weird superpower... finding twisted up words
hursh finds them by having a huge brain
wheeee - got the 8! tx again hurshy
it's harder when i've never heard of the words though
i am afraid that is what is wrong with the z, maybe
neen
sorry
not that it was a word!
Was hopeful girlfriday
Havent found a new word in nearly six minutes...seriously, I feel so fabulously smart for the first half and then utterly idiotic for the rest of the time!
if a still life of a loaf of bread is hanging crookedly, would you say it was arye?

hey guys I just had the sleaziest guy attempt to hit on me by moving in next to me, groan, size me up and down and wink. I told him where he could shove it. I just wanted to vent before I engross myself in today's puzzle....
if only he had said "how you doin'?" instead of winking...
hi froelica. i personally hate winking when used as flirting. ew.
and froelica superlatived a word, in case anyone didn't notice
I agree, and the groan was the worst
i don't understand the groan. like, he was in pain? or like, sighing?
hi all... how many total?

froelica - you superlatived a word, as i stated.
there's an sl 6/33 you alluded to, froelica
well taz, that won't help you much then will it?

hello fran!!
'fraid so, I think
hi debb, atalante!
could it be a coincidence that the day she goes on vacation she's in the grid?
quite a coinky-dink
I think its Dr_G being clever lol
Hi Fran ... I nearly used that icon. I thought I would stop being a 7 ... and choose 1. The Beatles!
hi ang!
hmm, that means he either lurks or reads the chat logs!
yes ang, i saw this one and knew it was my icon!
what's the theme today?
a number from 1 to 10
interesting!
I don't like numbers ... Anakin is number 1 hot Jedi guy. Perhaps that will count. Just. LOL
we'll buy that atalante!
woot :)
debb, you still here? what time is it for you?

Good morning all. 138 is a much friendlier grid. My number is Five
good morning ExWren
cool exwren!
phantom schizo
oh wow - this picture is so beautiful - http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33 176271/
awesome atalante!
do you know the artist or were you just looking at new things?
oh - I'm in the grid but too short to be a word (a waterfall - scotch)
cool lyn!
just browsing! I love doing that sometimes, just looking around randomly and seeing what appears!
you found a great one!
I love suddenly finding images that are just *so* powerful and poignant!
Whoopee. Found an 8 all by myself, without catching the clues. A first .... Perhaps I should get the one. Or maybe it's the mystic luck of the 7?
lucky 7 i'm sure ang!
Somethings in the air. Got 2 10 letter words in Top Letters on QP tonite as well.
Mind you - it
Mind you it's the 4 letter ones I am having problems with tonite.
cool ang! what does the 8 start with?
just the letters, no clue yet
The 8 is a ch
well asked, Fran :)
thanks!
yw
isn't "chancer" a word?
cool, found the 8
ahhh *that's* the 8! add a letter, Ray100 ...
Chancer doesn
not in this dictionary ray, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction
I have the associated 8 & 6, just curious that the 7 isn't legit...
Forget that - have now shaken the crud out of the keyboard.
eating while you babble ang?
Yep ... the toast crumbs make it hard to press down the keys. so you et a bit energetic about it LOL
My kids used to post business cards into the floppy disk drive as well. Poor computer
just be glad it's not peanut butter sandwiches in the VCR.
my niece did that
Don't laugh. We borrowed the grandparents video. Grandma complained it wasn't working when returned to her. Took covering off and found a cream bun!
Postman Pat has a lot to answer for!
sorry, i have to laugh!!!!
Kids ... it you didn't laugh you would spend your life crying.
for sure, my daughter has started switching off the power strip that my cable modem is plugged into.
oh noooo lol! kids!
of course she only does it during scrabble games when i'm winning
Switches - they're magic! And plugs. And taps.
the part they like the best is mom's reaction, it amuses them to no end.
Love it - kids with a sense of drama and humour. My 8 year old son reeled of the 6 senses tonite. The last sense was humour!
that's great ang!
evening everyone, out of the mouths of babes! sense of humour is the most important what a clever son you have ang
hi andree!
Evening Andree. Thnx. I often forget about humour. Too easy to frown.
Any clues please on the last re6,27
hello andree. I think Angb's son is brilliant!
don't have it yet gran
best thing we can learn is to be able to laugh at ourselves
Nor me
Too true Andree.
very true andree
is it me or is this a hard grid even though it is shorter
maybe I spent too long at the 19th hole
it's pretty tough andree
rane
I found the first 40 easy ... then hit a brick wall. Got the list early today to my dismay.
oops
its certainly a *strange* grid
Nope andree
i have 107 so far with no list, but it's getting tougher by the minute
Good one, Fran.
wow! well done Fran!
still have a bunch of Rs to go!
Fran have you all the e's?
i'm missing three e's
Don't worry I won't give you the clues!
co4/4ery should be allowed. sounds like a good word
i know atalante, i tried it just now!
i do Ang - can I help?
The Grid is a Matrix, VxV and the brain is a seive, To fill the bill with the words that hurt is the true talents of an addicted babbler.
No thx lynxxx - I just wondered if Fran had sussed them out - I am in awe at the moment.
hi lickety!!
Hey All - I felt like prose!
that was almost poetry!
Fran - you finished?
no, i still need 27
eschew is another phantom
long haul for the last 3 dozen!
there is one very close though atalante!
there is? *goes to look*
your first 4 letters are correct
oooooo yes!
oooooo yes! ty!
yw!
Another work day tomorrow. Better get myself sorted. ty for the chats and gl with the babbling.
bye Ang
bye ang! see you later!
raze
azes
bye Ang
oops
ewwwww! and that word has a horrid definition! "A dry scab or slough formed on the skin as a result of a burn or by the action of a corrosive or caustic substance"
yuck!!!
why do I always look up the icky words *sigh*!
lol atalante!
here's a new word for me atalante, r5 that rhymes with a jig
oh yes! new to me too. probably has an equally horrid definition. not looking LOL!
it has a very benign def ata, okay to look!
there's also a c5 that almost sounds like a group of witches
oh yes, thats quite safe :)
phantom, science
and schism. and schist
so many words that are almost there that they are blocking the ones that really are there!
ooo. weird. ch7. like a boy's name
FRAN - DON'T LOOK - can anyone clue me for the ha6.21 and re6.27
lol lynxxx!
don't have those yet
nor me
I only have 53 so can't help sorry
I'm so slow tonight, will babble again tomorrow in the office at least i can print out the list there
later then andree!
see you Andree
so goodnight and happy babbling
off for a bit as well. 97 words done! bbl :)
goodnite Atalante
later atalante!
that ha6/21 is hiding really well lynxxx!
yes - so is the re6.27
lynxx re6/27 sounds like the artist ha6/21add an additional vowel in the middle of the ha4/5 (animal)
re6/27 first part 3 letters that sound like Exw's name + first 3 letters of what you use to speak with.
sorry - make that the plural of the animal
TY Mari & Dianne !!!!
that ha6 is a weird word - a new one on me (I think).
got the re - was trying so hard to 'renovate'
got the ha, thanks!
and the re, thanks again!!
well, it's getting late, 21 words will have to wait until tomorrow!
good night everyone!
goodnite fran - sleep well

Hi, FMitch.
Hi Charm Une, how's the ankle doing?
Good to see you FMitch.. hate to say hi and bye, but I have a lot on my "non-Babble" docket today. Bye all.. see you tomorrow.
had a little emotional meltdown this morning but much better now--I'm a VERY independent person and this is NOT the kind of situation I like to be in!
lol Bye Aloy
bye, Aloyisius.
oh, sorry about your ankle, Une.. I didn't know. Hope you heal quickly!
thanks--I fractured it and have a hard cast and crutches . . . ugh
Must be very hard to go from independant to reliant - but look on the upside you have friends you can rely on which is great.
yes, I'm very lucky!!!!
argh, Unea - how horrible for you!
ne6 please? do I need to hold my nose against the fish?
yes you "almost" have to Charm
oh, no. FMitch, the minute I posted it, I saw it! lol
I keep forgetting that pesky suffix in the corner....
how many words today
Does anyone have any idea what sh7/32 is?
please
I surprised myself when I found it earlier Charm
138 dougie
sh7/32 = sh5/12 before it + d** (color) hair (earlier clue)
can anyone give me a clue for the re 6/27?
re6/27 = ExWre* + v*** dire (legal term for interviewing prospective juror)
let's revise that. re* + v**r dire.
Thanks Charm, that's the only combination I hadn't used
=8-)
thanks charm, got it now :)

48 to go and struggling now
TO - i see your problem...there's only one R...i'm puzzled too
Hello Everyone.
r + en5/16
re6/27 = re + letter + 1st 3 letters of what you use to speak.
ty Atalante....I forgot the 'e' one
ahhh, two words right off the bat, 12 to go!
ah ty mitch! it was the first letter i didn't see!
yw TO :)
karys i haven't sen you in a while, nor you, ata!
can someone tell me what the 8 begins with and is it easy to find ?
ch8 - think "bleak house"
no Temple, but have some news...getting married at Christmas !!

*scrambles to find ch6/27*
oops, I mean that ch8 starts with ch5, not ch6

hursh, there aren't any
great, thanks
Awe that is lovely Karys
you were right the first time une, it's a 6, it just looks like a 5
OK, obviously my injury has affected my brain . . . it IS ch6!
i know the problem, une, you think like a greek :)
how are you doing wih that, une?
OK . . . thanks, TO . . . just very frustrated
I have it now, I had it before but must have typed it wrongly !
or mervin peter and pernicity were at work, karys...
phantom word: volcano
could have been gremlins in the keyboard I suppose, or probably too busy seeing how the ring looked !!!
lol karys! did he surprise you with it?
i hate 5's.
The sunlight glinting off it blinded you Karys!
no Temple, we chose it together, but it was his choice in the end
thats just what the problem it FMitch !!

that was a trickster
thanx hurshy
sh7=ethnic slur
ethnic slur? huh. i would think it was a slur on oily faced teens...

hi ARB

phantom word of the day: celery
Hi all you hi-ers.
hello arb...hello
hello arb hello peri
ARB, you have been safe?
Nm I have the ch5/14's need the ch4/11 and the last ch4/6 to finish the C words
hello to the new arrivals....was busy looking
Mab -- safe, but hot and sweaty! I was with my children and grandchildren in a CLub Med in Turkey for a week (a trip planned and paid for in MArch). Lots of heat, humidity, pools, and French food Turkish style.
found the ch4/6 just need ch4/11
Also much red wine.
Peri, french for house, I believe
Oh good, ARB
ARB I cannot find it ch4/11
peri. ch.. lounge (chair)
ch4/11 vous
thanks TO, great clue, thanks allstar too
now I can take a break
Peri, the word includes the last letter of the alphabet
no no allstar, you're thinking of shaze
I knew it used the z just couldn't see it
At the home of; at or by.
chaise, Hurshy?
(twas a joke, ARB)
which ever way it werks! As long as we all "get it"
shaze! how could I miss that one...
sh7/40 please
Sorry, the sweat has affected by funny bones. Summer on the Mediterranean is hot and humid.
ty mab :)
sh7, a slur for Jews, sounds like shiny.
majmom-what you would do to a sheep ad adj.
phantom: volcano. not even etna
I have withdrawal symptoms without that et word !!
yes i must type it in for every grid. even if there is no apparent t
mab, i thought we agreed it would he5forth be a slur for oily faced teenagers
might i request a point total?
1810
doc really should just add the point total next to the word total
thanks ARB
How many words are you missing, Hurshy?
speaking of format...why do we care about the average number of letters in a word?
2, ARB
i dunno, TO, i sure don't :)
starting with what?
*F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S*
Congrats sha !!!!
YAY for SHA
i need H5 and R5, and one of them may use the Z
wtg sha!
except i have 4 h5 that use the Z already... another kind of beggars belief
when your asthmatic u wh---- take of the 1st letter for the he-5-22

There is wrecking a building and the present tense, but there is also a word that looks like it is the building being wrecked.
theres on 4-5s with the z
There is wrecking a building and the present tense, but there is also a word that looks like it is the building being wrecked.

re6/27 = r + en5/16
the definition of the RE 6/27 is "he reference of a matter involving a conflict of laws to the law of the foreign jurisdiction involved including reference to the jurisdiction's rules governing conflicts of laws "

I could use assistance with the last 3 ar words...Don't know why they are hiding...:)
re 6/27 is that r + en 5, inge!
the third-to-last AR is a place in France, didn't VanGogh stay there?

ummm, Erda?

what if someone hadn't is all? Nevermind, it is common practice to avoid writing out the clues and to note it when it inadvertently happens...
any clues for the an?
first ha6/21? did i miss the clue?
need help with ly words, have the obviouis ly4/6
hi jee hi stid hmmmm tell me more about the wh4/10 pls
if you missed it featherbee, I did too...I was just about to ask again.
no ha 6/21 here, sorry!!!
ly musical instrument
ly 4/6 - kind of harp - then add plural
ha 6/21 feather is weirdly strange: first three letters of the previous word, then what you do for a drowning person ***cue
an = not afar
hello Cathy!
ty stid!
thanks phan and andy
ha 6 - first three letters of the ha 4,5 - next three letters are = you make a ***ervation when you want to go to a ***taurant
5 left all R words
hi stid...hi everyone!!
I was using the wrong a! Tnx Cathy
got it by your clue, thanks stid
or what stid said
yw phandmd
hi debb! GMTA!
go peri go! (clue fingers at the ready)
hi there stid - an all !!
missing an ra5/20 - have the one meaning tear down
and all !
ra 5/20 is the one who gets ra4'd...
thanks stid- I think words that end in double vowels are stupid!
agreed. We can eliminate them next time we invent human speech!
dont have either re6/21
re 6/21 are re + c 4: the candy c***; and the money word
stid -thanks what would I do without you
congrats, peri!!!
you'd get it, peri! just others would step in... :-)
stid thanks - I still needed one re 6 - TY
yw andy, anything I can do to help my neighbors to the north!
another 4 letter word re4/6
touche et merci beacoup stidmama
re 4/6: do you re** on me too much, peri? LOL
re5/12 please...
de rien, andy. (or is it rein?)
at times yes, stid, thanks
ha5/14 please?
re 5/12 is to check a place out in advance of the main group... re + ***vention
no this is OK except it is French French - Quebecois French is tres bienvenue as if in you are welcome
hello all. can i have a clue for ch 7/44 please
ha 5/14: like the ne 5.14...
which one, magzel? or both?
TA DA, FIREWORKS ! Thanks for all of the help.
oops! feather -- meant like the He 5/14

ciao, peri!
bye, peri!
andy -- do you speak quebecquois then? I get so confused between all the different frenches.
see you peri!
sl 6/33 please?
mag use verb che 5/14 - as in ch**leader and make it into adverb
sl 6/33 is a slimy, scuzzy word, like the sl****-bags who make internet porn.
stid j'ne parlais francais tres bien mas j'entendre an peaux pasque j'hablais espagnol - sorry for incorrect spelling
ah, got it, thanks stid
what does the 8 begin with, please?
merci bien!
I lived in Ottawa for a few years - Ottawa is right on border of the Quebec/Ontario and in fact is NCR -National Capiatl Region that is fully bilingual
wow. you do lots better than I do, andy -- a smattering of italian and spanish and I "make do" when reading french, but I can't pull together a phrase, let alone a sentence.
i haaven't heard scuzzy used in ages lol stid!
the 8 is a ch, pam
grazie, stid!
I was thinking scum bags, but it didn't fit
*giggle* there have been some great clues around that word today, folks!
sh6/27 please?
hello everyone! fireworks for me!
congrats, lbd!
and that gave me a good glimpse of Quebecois - herde is one real story. I had friends visit from Paris. France. Thye went to Quebec (cross a bridge and u r there) and went to Gatineau - a blue collar suburb of Ottawa. They went to a restaurant and as NO ONE understood them - they had to speak English. True story - 1992.
congrats dawg!
look at the first ch 6/27 pam, and if by ch**** you get it, then add 2/3 of the bread you make ham sandwiches on.
YAY lbdawger!
thanks pam and to
congrats lbdawg... 24 left here, but...vacation is over and must get to bed early!
or if you don't eat ham, it's the bread with caraway seeds in it!
FINALLY got the ha and he 5/14!
AWESOME CLUE, stid
thank Stid and cathy, sure glad it was a smaller and friendlier grid today
oh dear, Cathy, and I was all set with my swim fins and water wings for our dip in the kiddie pool tomorrow!

Don't eat the ham anymore, love the bread!!! and the ch8 word!!!!
go feather go!
so glad it worked, pam!

I like this size grid a lot more, too. :-)
thank deb, go cathy go! you can do it! race with feather!
erda--of you are still out there, I certainly meant no offense....
sh 6/27 is the 5/12 before it with a 3-point tile at the end
the he5/14...it's a cause and effect word....i did such and such, he*** this happened
thanks, feather!!
feather, that's a better clue than the one I gave you!
never would have tried the ha version!!!
ex 6/24?
Oops,. es 6/24?

thanks. I didn't know that word!
I'd say you-all owe me, but I owe so much to everyone who was here earlier! So I guess you owe THEM! :-)
re 6/27 anyone please?
r + en 5 andy...
ty stid - odd word I must admit
yep. the only person who felt it was a fish was CiociaJudy because she works with lots of lawyers
but even so, I think it's probably pretty uncommon!
well here is "official" def Etymology: French, act of sending back, reference, from Middle French, from renvoyer to send back : the reference of a matter involving a conflict of laws to the law of the foreign jurisdiction involved including reference to the jurisdiction's rules governing conflicts of laws
guess it shows IANAL - I am not a lawyer
hey stid - i've heard tales of people being ignored inthe chat lately. one sat night i didn't recognize anyone and no one gave me a clue!!!
oh my! not good... it does happen sometimes, esp when the chat is fast.
Today I am multi-tasking, listening to Welsh learning from the BBC while I babble. Makes it hard to focus on either!
en5?
Can you tell I am bored to tears?
last word... sh.7 32.. I just cannot get this.. help??

thanks. stid, I couldn't get it before, beause the voices in my head were bothering me....

does anyone else have the sh, 7/32?
shoot, i'm sorry...i asked for the he5/22 ages ago, but then it was my turn in scrabble and i forgot to come back!
the sh7/32 adds two vowels to the previous 5
No Working at our Brisbane Exhibition for the last nine days and am exhausted
Misu, do you have the shiney one? if so then add the third and second vowel to the end
thats the sh, 7 40
sorry, feather, I don't have the he 5/22
shakespearian...thus and thus He*** it was
oh my, Tiny -- inge had a bromeliad show yesterday and she was ehausted, too. Can't imagine a marathon of 9 days! hope it was a success!

Yes I think they sellers all did okay I spent Nine thousand on a bed

not all in one go I have to pay it off

both 7 letter sh wrods buld on the preceding 5's
thnx guys,
inge , I don't know about Aussies, but in Canada it's $ and in Shanghai before 1948 it was $ so my guess is that it's $ -lol
yay phand!
both sh 7's build on the sh 5's before them
then the last one is really thin material made into an adverb
Hong Kong too...$
somebody suggested today taht they might use something like AD???
sh 7/40 is an adverb derived from sh 5/12 - transparent
sh 7/32 - is derived from shiny word sh 5/12 - add 2 vowels
I am going for a rest falling asleep at the keys bye for now

Nope. It's raining buckets here just North of Boston.
Hello stid!

Send some of that rain down to PA, Minski. It missed us completely.
Hey, folks! I just got fireworks. Course they were for solitare, but.....I'll take 'em where I can get 'em!
hi inge! who do you want the story to follow today?
YAY Janiece!
Newtothis...it's a stupid head word that has no definition

The munchkin was his usual busy self--doesn't shut up and stop moving! Thank goodness I don't have to care for him 24/7. I'm exhausted afater a few hours! LOL
RA5 sounds like another word for Prom but starts with an R.
Glorious day here, stid - like yours I think - I'm back from the beach (got your funny email) with 45 to go, unh

Okay, Paul and Gilly climbed the stairs together, and sent Polly and Meg to the extra room to sleep.
thanks
hoorary for story time!
Gilly picked up her mending basket that she had left on the dresser, and Paul sat next to Doris and watched her sleeping.
anytime New.
:-) *points to blankets and bean bag chairs in corner*
*grabs blankie*
*storytime storytime--whirls around for a comfy chair and popcorn*
could i have some help with sh 5/12 and 7/40, the last two sh words.
Mags, really thin, nearly transparent material or what one does to sheep
sh- to see thru ( noun and adj)
see thru curtains and make it an adverb
*snuggles down - nuts to words*
well that's it for me
*lol at Jillli, a bit add tonight?*
By now, Doris's eyes were less swollen and her breathing was deep and regular. In repose, her face was gentle and young -- much like her mother's had been at that age. But the set of her mouth and chin was like her father's: some would say 'obstinate', but Gilly called it 'determined.'
*thanks stid for the apostrophe s*
*phan are you staying for storytime?*
I need a clue for the ha 6 word
Paul smoothed the blankets and pulled them back over his daughter's feet, then carefully untied his shoes and wriggled his toes in relief.
ha 6 is plural of the nut preceding it
"You know, Gilly, there are some things I won't tell the children..."
sorry inge...I need the first ha 6 not the second
Gilly nodded, and put a knot in a thread. Mumbling, she picked up a sock and felt around for her darning egg.
OK..cannot seem to find the sh 7,32...clues:)
pinecone...ha+old English for mistakes
"Is there something in particular on your mind, Paul?"
lena, use the word above it and add third and 2nd vowels
He glanced at Doris to be sure she was fast asleep before moving the chair next to Gilly.
ha 6: like the rabbits , but with extra vowel in third letter place
thank you lbdawger
yw pine
thanks inge
"Well, yes. I have a trunk full of notes and letters that weren't sent, and you can read through those later. There came a time, though, when I had lost hope of getting home, and I stopped writing."
he 6/36 please?
np pinecone
**I am going to stop using quotes on Paul's talking now...**
About three years into my journey, I was about five days' walk from what I thought was the land of my birth.
still need the sh 6/27 and the last5/12
New...acho! without the sn. plural
My original donkey had died, I suspect it was not able to adjust to the different grains it was getting in that place. Or, maybe it just realized how far from home we were.
he 6/36 pleural of the one above. sounds like sneeze
Fireworks!
Never mind why, he just wasn't able to move on one day, and I had to leave him behind.
YAY New!
Mag, add the sometimes vowel to the end of the 5//12 above it. WTG NEW!
bravo, Newtothis
I'm clapping for me in ASL! This was hard!!!!
I was fortunate that it happened when I was close to a village. I was able to trade some of the spoons and bowls I had carved of local wood, and the skin of the dead donkey, for a young, partially trained jenny. She was a lot bigger, so I had to improvise the harness.
lol New...*waves arms and hands in air* (sign for clapping)
wtg New!
wtg new
Still, I was able to keep the cart, and the jenny was quick to learn. Once she was hitched up, all she needed to do was walk...
which donkeys don't always like to do
So there I was, five days' travel from what I hoped would be my home...
and I was scared.
**oh -- shoulda been more clear -- a jenny is a mule, part donkey, part horse; they also don't always like to move...**
I thought of stopping at the next village or town, and finding employment.
I thought of going to one of the places I had already been, many of them were quite nice with good people -- like our own village.
I thought of coming home, but was uncertain of my reception if I came home empty-handed.
This was lovely country, Gilly, you would have liked it.
Much like the plains to the south of us, but more rolling.
The cultivated areas were old -- far older than any place I had been before, with wondrous stone terraces and waterways.
woohoo New
There were impressive machines that could bring water up from the creeks and wells in that area, and the water would flow slowly through the channels, watering the crops as it went.
And they had built towers to watch the crops, and young children would sit up there, sounding the alarm if animals or birds or fire threatened their food source.
The people in this land did not eat meat, as we do, at least not that I saw; but they had marvelous beans and a grain that grew in water, and some vegetables that reminded me of ours but in different shapes and colors.
These people were very hospitable, and I had only to show up at the door of a family compound to be greeted and invited to sit and eat.
*whew - multitasking - absorbed in stid's story with Coronation Street in the background which I've been missing because of babble*
The villages here were well-organized, and the people were as enthusiastic about their goods for sale as they were generous.
As well they might! They had amazing fabrics soft and light but warm, and in many hues and shades. Some was masterfully woven with patterns -- each village seemed to have it's own motif.
And they had funny little three-legged pots of metal that they used for cooking.
The metalwork in some villages rivaled the best I have seen -- intricate but strong. Even the most utilitarian pieces had a bit of decoration somewhere.
The houses were often wood-frame, but I could see no sign of nails. Pegs and wedges seemed to hold everything together.
And the buildings were topped with tile. Again, they seemed unsatisfied unless there was color or decoration, and often the tiles were in many colors, arranged to form patterns that could be seen as you approached the villages.
So there I stood, at the top of a hill between villages, surrounded on all sides by prosperity and graciousness. It was tempting to stay.
But I knew what it was like to be a stranger already, and I wanted to belong somewhere.
So, I pressed on.
Four days out, it rained. The jenny and I took shelter under a tree by the side of the road.
It reminded me of the tree on the way to John's village, and I grew homesick.
phantom word: volcano
hello, I"m back after dinner. 68 to go
When it stopped raining, I pressed on. The roads were mushy, but passable, and we made good time so that a couple of days later were were on a rocky plain that stretched across a vast distance to a forest.
**hello wassup and harp**
65 to go
hi stid, long time no see!
*go Ping, Go Harpjane*
When the sun was high in the sky, we came to a wide river. It moved sluggishly, but obviously had some deeper spots where the water eddied ominously.
**whatcha been up to, wassup? I've been telling stories...**
man i stink at this lol
thanks, LB!
vacation. just got back from denver. 10 day road trip, went through yellowstone... etc. :) you?
*go wassup, ping, harp*
I looked for a marker I had been told of, and soon found it. A large pile of stones, with a flat rock on top for a cap.
Strange writing was on it, but I could make out a few of the characters.
Squinting, I could see another in the middle of the river, and a third on the far bank.
**things have been summer-crazy here. Not too bad, and very glad we made no huge trips this year**
this is my first time
welcome araya
welcome, arayasunshine!
ty
I rolled up my pants, took off my shirt and shoes, and tied a tarp to the top of the cart with extra rope.
hi ray - welcome!
hello araya!
keep plugging at it arayasunshine. we're here to help and cheer you on!
thanks
**JILL! Tom is threatening to cut my hair even shorter!!!!**
araya, right now stidmama is telling us a story, youcan ask for help anyway. But check out Anglesongs help page first, so you know how th game goes
if this looks nutty, araya, we're listening to a story stid has been telling for a while now
**Angelsong's help page has a link at the bottom of this one!**
Hehehe, tom! Go forit!!!!
stid, who can run faster?
The jenny was nervous, and wanted to back up all the way to her home village...
welcome sunchine!
*does Tom like to live dangerously?*
I tied a rag over her head and calmed her.
:)
stid is so gorgeous and has such a lovely head shape
Slowly, we moved into the water.
*oo, thought tom tied something over stid's head*
*No running with scissors!*
lol Jilli!
To my surprise, there was paving just a few yards from the edge!
**thanks A LOT, Jill! grumble grumble**
We were both much calmer once we realized, and I walked at her head, aiming straight for the marker in the middle.
Fireworks
YAY flosey!
bravo flosey
help with the ae 6 please?
Congratulations flosey on your fireworks!Goof for U!
WHEEEE! Hidden flosey!!!!
Thanks all, missed a couple of days, got this entirely on my own!!!\
Goof for you???? No, for me!!!
From the center, we lined up with the third marker, and walked across steadily. It took less than an hour to cross the river.
Once on the other side, I check the jenny's hooves, then sat down to dry my feet.
I need help with the sh 7/32
The trees of the forest were more visible now, and I could see there was a mix of dark green and other colors.
Hello Min!
add 2 vowels to the 5/12 in front ofit
**Meant, hello Min! Welcome to the grid! (grin)*
Hi stidmama!I am quietly enjoying your story tonight
sh 7 /32 is preceing 5/12 (meaning haveing a shine) and add two vowels
hi Min!
As I sat, I chewed some dried fruit and strange cakes the people in the last village had given me. I contemplated the reasons I had come so far.
I thought about the reasons I could have stayed home.
*Hi Min*
I was angry that it had taken me so long, and disappointed that I had been unable to contact you.
Hiya Min!
Didn't want to interrupt, but hi to my fellow babblers
what does preceing mean?
And discouraged that you were not with me.
hi min!
preceeding, before
I think she meant to type preceding lenalu01.
and hello folks
*hi LA, pull up a blankie!*
oh ok
Hello LeslieAnn! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!
oooh blankie. i picked a good time
Hi Leslie
By the way,congratultions to all of the finishers!YAY!
I reached into a satchel I kept under the bench of the cart and looked at the pictures Mother and Cathy drew of the children before I left.
thanks for giving my word a much needed "d"
i've been gone for awhile, is the story thing a nightly occurence? :)
ok i lost lol
I tried to think what the baby would look like -- four years old.
**yes, mostly wassup, but some nights the grid is too big or people are not in the mood. check my profile...**
i had to go give the diabetic cat an insulin shot - did i miss a clue for the ae 6?
Wassup, you can catch up on the story at babanon, other interests stidmama's storytime
SH 7/40 clue please?
yes, the story is almost every night, some 18 ? installments so far, can be read in Babblers Anon, under Stidmamas story
cool, good idea stid
the ae 4/6, ping!? light and ae**
inge clued sh 7 at 9:48
oh sorry wrong sh 7
i'm outta here i dont understand this talk (SH 7/40 clu)
I thought about Nancy and Jane, and wondered if they were being courted yet -- and about John and wondered if he was going courting.
oh - my mistake - sorry and thanks, leslie
didn't mean to sound so incredulous with my punctuation, but since i decided your name has to have an exclamation point, questions are hard to write, ping!
I wondered if Mother and Father were well, and if you were okay.
We hadn't planned for me to be gone so long.
no worries, mate!
never mind, this is her 24 th installment of the story
SH 7/40 please?
I knew Peter could handle the farm well enough, especially with John and Daniel helping at the busiest times.
**just call me sheherazade**
adverb form of sh 5/12 - see-through, ronnie
I was nervous about what would happen when I reached my destination.
thanks leslieann
What sort of people did I come from?
Would I even be able to find them?
What if I was wrong about where I came from -- the memories of a child aren't always reliable 30 years on...
The sun was getting lower, and I had been warned to not rest on the river plain, as sometimes it flooded suddenly.
arayasunshine, if you haven't already left yet, check out lickety's page (link at the bottom) sh 5/12 means the word starts with sh, is 5 letters long, and is worth 12 points.
for the sh 7/32.What do you mean its preceding?
I stood up and put away my precious satchel. The jenny groaned as I tightened the harness a little, but resolutely began putting one foot in front of the other as we moved toward the line of trees that marked the beginning of the land of my birth.
sh 7/32 - take the sh 5/12 meaning shine and add the third vowel then second vowel to it.
I wondered how much longer you would wait for me, and then saw a bird nesting on the ground not far from the trail.
Sh 7/32 is sh 5/12 before it plus 2 more vowels lenalu
we mean the word just before 7/40, which is a 5/12 and means see through, transparent, make it into an adverb for the 7/40
gotta go i'll catch up on the story in babanon. nighty night everyone!
Its mate hovered nearby, trying to draw my attention.
good night lbd!
good night lb
thanx
I walked on, lost in thought. I worried that the children would not know me -- would not want to know me -- when I returned.
A small bunny crouched by the side of the trail next to a boulder. In the shade of the boulder, it looked like another rock, and the hawk wheeling overhead did not see it.
The trees grew steadily nearer. I could see that there were bushes loaded with berries at the edge of the forest, reaching for the sunshine that could not penetrate the thick canopy.
ha 6/21?
phantom word - scheherazade - lol
that's the phantom of all phantoms!!!
se6/21 please?
ha + be verb in spanish
ha6/21 is like rabbits, with an extra vowel thrown in there
wonderful clue thanks ping!
I considered all I had been through -- the loss of companions along the way, the terrors of storms and the inconveniences of thieves and cutthroats.
and feather
yw
great if you know spanish
i mean, yw!
I watched a deer-like creature step out of the forest on the trail. We were within a few steps.
jilli, see my clue?
It watched us carefully, then turned and sauntered back into the safety of the dark shade.
se 6/21 is se plus Richard Gere movie Shall We D****?
I thought how strange it was that I was drawn to leave all I knew, to journey so far, with no certainty of success.
se 6/21 - party to which dead people are summoned
thanks!
I wondered what "success" would be...
**back to normal mode**
ch8?
why, stid?
se6/21 - a meeting of people to receive spiritualistic messages featherbee.
lengthen the ch 6 - a game of ch****, jane
Doris stirred slightly. Gilly put the sock she was working on in Paul's hands and he began to work on it while she moved to their daughter's bedside.
hmmm, stid
ah!
thanks!
re 6/27 is my last one...
She placed a hand on Doris's forehead and reached for the carafe of water on the small table between the beds, moistening a cloth slightly.
*returns blankie to corner; slips out to bed* (whispers, good nite, all)
Gently, she laid the cloth on her daughter's forehead.
re6/27 is re* and stimpy + you talk with your ***ce box, or larynx
nite, judy
**good night Judy, see you tomorrow**
goodness, glad i asked for a clue on that one. done!
Doris looked up at her mother. "Thank you," she whispered.
congrats LA!
can someone give me some help with the 2 ch7's? Then I can go to sleep(-:
TY, featherbee!
Then she glanced down at her father, sitting at the foot of her bed. "Please, Father, may I have a song?"
YAY LeslieAnn!
Congratulations LeslieAnn on your fireworks!Hooray!
ch 7/44 is like a cramp, a ch***** horse
ch 7/44 is the adverb form of the ch***leader 5/14
thanks leslieAnn!
And Paul sang a song from her childhood long ago, and Gilly sat back and caressed her daughter's hair as they listened.
done!
Doris fell back to sleep, surrounded by the love of her parents.
and thanks again! Never have seen it spelled that way.
YAY feather!!!
**end of chapter for tonight, my fingers are tired**
*psst, goodnight all*
Congratulations featherbee on fireworks!Good for U!
