4:18 am

4:18 am

not yet! I wanna find them on my own too LOL :)

4:18 am

Hi everyone, does anyone have a clue for the two et words?

4:19 am

:-) i know, that's why i asked.

4:19 am

don't have them yet pappou

4:19 am

thanks anyway, fran

4:19 am

i'm trying a new tack, I'll ask for clues early, today i only had 5 left at the flip, was really mad at myself

4:20 am

sounds like a good plan andree!

4:20 am

LOL, good thing I'm asleep at the flip or I'd be upset too

4:20 am

et words are gas and gase

4:21 am

gases

4:21 am

thanks andree!

4:21 am

thanks, andree, now I have to figure it out

4:22 am

evening all. I look straight at the grid and see a "w" word - not valid. Ah well. How's it going all

4:22 am

I'm not much of a cluer did you get that, the are in the grid a lot

4:22 am

hi ang! going great

4:22 am

didn't get it yet, but my brain is also half asleep, I'll figure it out

4:22 am

I think we all saw that word 1st up Ang

4:23 am

i got them right away andree, i was trying things all around them

4:23 am

wonk is a word though

4:23 am

et+chicken+vowel

4:23 am

But it's not totally wasted ...

4:24 am

now I got it, I was trying to spell it with a ane

4:24 am

and it does help with se5/12

4:24 am

What neat words tonite.

4:25 am

clue for wa6/36 please

4:25 am

naughty, naughty ragalla!

4:26 am

lol that's brilliant ragalla

4:26 am

andree, past tense of to be + if at first you don't succeed, ***, *** again

4:26 am

OK so there is this un 5/12. Why does it not plural?

4:27 am

not sure if i have the same one ang, but the S doesn't connect on mine

4:28 am

thx Fran, as usual I was headed inthe wrong direction

4:28 am

yw andree

4:28 am

It's my glasses. It's the un 5/14.

4:29 am

Trying to put off having them replaced. The glasses that is.

4:29 am

the S doesn't connect with that one either

4:29 am

clue for sy5/16 and ty5/16 please

4:30 am

don't have those yet andree

4:30 am

Ahh Fran. See, the glasses really need replacing. You are so right. OK I'll shut up now and disappear under my rock.

4:31 am

it's okay ang! automatically trying plurals is a good strategy, i miss so many of them

4:33 am

sy5/16 is 'fake', like the beginning of sy***etic fabric

4:33 am

ty5/16 is alt spelling of the custom of giving 10% of earnings to your church

4:34 am

good clue, fran. That was the sermon last Sunday, LOL

4:35 am

i went to my husband's grand-nephew's baptism and the sermon was about fundraising for the new church! sign of the times?

4:35 am

4:36 am

aw shucks andree! thanks. *blushing*

4:36 am

clue queen, please may I have a clue for he5, 16? if you have it

4:36 am

4:37 am

Morning all. Oh dear! The first 6 words I've found whilst writing out the grid have all been 'rude' ones.

4:37 am

he5/16 King He*** the 8th (?)

4:37 am

hi jacula

4:37 am

hi jac! quite a few 'rude' words today, eh?

4:38 am

thanks dianne!

4:38 am

good clue, fran

4:38 am

it's even a plural...2 for the price of 1

4:40 am

that he5/16 is interesting, it's a unit of electromagnetic force, who knew.

4:41 am

hello hello

4:41 am

hi lynxxx!

4:41 am

Hi lynxxx

4:41 am

hi lynxxx

4:43 am

do you have the second pi5, 12?

4:44 am

pi5/12, first three letters of the tree double the consonant and add another vowel

4:45 am

it's a leaflet or part of a compound leaf

4:45 am

ty, I was adding the wrong consonant

4:45 am

wrong vowel, I mean

4:46 am

yw pappou!

4:49 am

does the se8 build off the se5 right above it?

4:50 am

i don't have an se5 right above it yet, but it builds from the se4

4:51 am

yes Papp it does

4:51 am

Fran add a vowel to the se 4 above it

4:51 am

just got the se5, and yes it does as allstar said

4:51 am

is the 9 the plural

4:51 am

ty allstar

4:51 am

yes pappou

4:53 am

4:53 am

4:57 am

Just woke up and thought I would try a few and am stuck on en7/44, anu clues?

4:58 am

4:58 am

naaah: I just know that the more folks that write, the more compelled the elected yahoos are to respond... And on cape cod, tthe recent killing of two dogs prompted a HUGE response that the District Attorney acknowledged

4:58 am

We'sll see a response when people take their own repsonsibilities seriously--that of owning and caring for a pet--

4:58 am

OK, I am off of my soap box...

clue for th 7/32?

ya figured that but dont have that either :)

5:47 am

th6/21 is a substance derived from coffee, definite article + opp of out + another vowel

11:18 am

Poor gramma lol

11:18 am

11:20 am

snickers? why not three musketeers? Or my favorite, a Wonka bar?

11:20 am

It was funny after I was detached:-))

11:20 am

I got claustrophic sitting in my chair - a panic attack because I couldn't get my hand off the quilt

11:20 am

just stopping by to pick up a few more words. Hi all!

3:13 pm

3:13 pm

hi there - in college i did some research on people with language impaired by stroke. they often struggled with the simplest of sentences but could curse up a storm!

3:14 pm

hi stiddy fizzy

3:14 pm

hiya, stid!

3:14 pm

*dork alarm - leave now if you must* curses and other expletives are stored in another part of your brain than regular words - like song lyrics. they get filed away whole so you don't have to think of how to put them together.

3:14 pm

very true Fiz - my uncle had a stroke many years ago and still cannot hold his head up but can say the 'F' word clear as day!!

3:14 pm

boston drivers? no. boston baked beans? yes. which boston, nrk?

I seriously question the integrity/competence of the editors of the Enable dictionary, when they include such words as "jewed" used as a verb, and today's charming entry (cu4/5 & 5/14), and, as an online resource, do not include the word "internet". Considering emailing Dr_god...

4:37 pm

et's are a variation of a type of gas

4:37 pm

et + female chicken + vowel (et6)

4:37 pm

et7 is plural

4:37 pm

en6...en + first name of a cartoon mouse

7:52 pm

Well, I couldn't help it if I got a fit of the giggles, neither could the rest...

7:52 pm

I can understand that, chj!

7:53 pm

too bad the yankees/sox series wasn't SNL and not reality sports

7:53 pm

jac who is your comedian...i cant make out the picture

FranMag came in and said, 'Hello' and then aknitter typed in the cu4 word! Oh Lord! Just telling you has started me off giggling again.

WTG kristinc

7:54 pm

chj - my icon is of Morcombe & Wise.

7:54 pm

you know, it's that old saw, chj--I am a ______ fan and anyone who beats the Yankees

7:55 pm

dont know them

7:55 pm

chj - you should look them up. Great old British double act.

7:55 pm

are they better than peter cook and dudley moore

7:55 pm

wh - plural of a question word

7:56 pm

They don't swear like Cook & Moore, chj.

7:56 pm

it looks like the sox will have to try for the wild card

7:56 pm

Thanks, Stephie

7:57 pm

peri - wh word is plural questions. If someone does something you don't understand, you may ask, 'Wh*?'

7:57 pm

i guess the routines we got here in the states were sanitized

7:57 pm

chj--one can only hope....

7:57 pm

i loved the bit they did about the one-legged actor applying for the role of tarzan

7:58 pm

chj - they must have been, if yu're talking about Peter Cooke & Dud Moore. The 'f' word was prevalent!

7:59 pm

missing a wa4/8 have the plural of very pale

7:59 pm

YW!

7:59 pm

thou dost--the w*** rhymes with the dost...

8:00 pm

thanks pam

8:00 pm

Yes, chj, the old shows were great. It was the later shows, and the tapes and lp's that came out with all the 'f' words in them that offended me. I don't mind anyone swearing if it's justified, do the same myself. But when certain words are used, unconsciously (or for effect) or even for punctuation, then I don't find it funny. Hence me not ever finding UK comedian Bernard Manning remotely funny.

8:00 pm

sure, peri!

8:01 pm

You know, scattering 'f' words around a joke does NOT make it any funnier than telling it straight.

8:02 pm

i agree

8:02 pm

po5/16 please

8:12 pm

Life of Bryan KILLED me

8:12 pm

8:12 pm

i never thought buffalo bob as a comedian.

8:13 pm

8:16 pm

pam - that dialogue in engrained in the UK thinking folks.

8:16 pm

yes, i knew that bit of trivia chj.

8:16 pm

oh, jac! Did not know that

8:16 pm

I know that UK and US humour doesn't always meet at the edges though.

8:17 pm

Having said that, the US is making far better comedy shows on TV than anything coming out of the oh-so-PC UK at present.

8:18 pm

True, Jac--but I like the UK stuff

8:18 pm

nut youve led a depraved...er i mean deprived life

8:18 pm

Yay -- long live Jon Stewart!!!

8:18 pm

gimme depraved over deprived any day!

8:18 pm

meaning the humor

8:18 pm

8:18 pm

Agreed on the current state...

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

i'm depraved, i admit it whole fudging heartedly

8:19 pm

There was an article from a shriLakan resient, a newsreader in UK, in my paper earlier. He said, basically, that the PC brigade, with their OVER-multiculturalism have created a far more racist environment than ever would have existed if the the differences had not been embraced. I agree with him.

8:20 pm

hints please for he 5/16 and 6/27?

8:21 pm

he5 = common man's name, which doubles as a unit of something-or-other, plus its plural

8:21 pm

8:22 pm

8:27 pm

8:27 pm

Boo NY--Wait 'til next year!!! (spoken like a true Red Sox fan)

8:28 pm

8:28 pm

Oh, was that yanks, or Yankees? Did I misunderstand?!

8:28 pm

there's a team babble on weboggle?

8:28 pm

lol

8:28 pm

yes i started it today ping! :) :)

8:28 pm

hi, ping

8:28 pm

Hi hursh. Just noticed you are here. How did you get your comprehensive guide to Europe up so quickly? I'm still struggling to write mine, amidf family commitments...

8:28 pm

mom, to clear it up, the baseball team.

8:29 pm

see my post on babanon

8:29 pm

Hi Ping

8:29 pm

i wrote it as i went along jac, just had to type it up.

8:29 pm

hi annie!

8:29 pm

ugh i am having weboggle trouble agian

8:29 pm

hi Ping

8:29 pm

hi pam!

8:29 pm

hurshy, i've never understood the teams on weboggle

8:29 pm

hi there, LB!

8:30 pm

How do I get into TeamBabble? I play on there as LoveBabble, Babblebest etc., plus my usual names/

8:30 pm

weboggle.shackworks.com, 5x5, Team Babble

8:30 pm

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Annie, tho' I'm still in the pits after the weekend :( But as a Sox fan, I'm into the pain!

8:30 pm

just enter Team Babble as your name

8:30 pm

Back to Babble! The cupcakes are iced and the garden is watered. Whew! 18 to go.

8:30 pm

Ys, Hursh. But how do you join the team and how does it work re posting?

8:31 pm

all you have to do to join the team is put that as your name, it figures out all the words we get together.

8:31 pm

assuming i can ever get the site working again...

8:32 pm

it knows to count everyone called "Team Babble" together

8:32 pm

of course it doesn't count the words we get more than once

8:33 pm

Hursh - I figured you had done that(writing it as you went along). I did try to do so, but either gottt strange looks whilst trying to do so, was up to late to do so, was just off experiencing...

8:33 pm

i was on trains a lot, jac

8:34 pm

and it was 5 weeks - i didn't want to risk forgetting anything

8:34 pm

Ah, hurshy. A great environment for reflection and writing. Lucky you.

8:34 pm

I WILL get my travelog on asap.

8:34 pm

argh! WHEN will there be a new board?

8:35 pm

Trouble is, everything I've written so far makes me sound like a whinging POM (as the Aussies would say). It's black humour, a feel of the place, but far more about the people than the place. Will that make good reading, I ask myself/

What could the editors of the Enable dictionary be thinkng (if they are)? As an online resource they exclude the word "internet" yet include such vulgarities as cu4/6 & 5/14, and the appalling "jewed"? Considering emailing Dr_god, but don't know if he has any say...

8:42 pm

hmm...team babble has dwindled

8:42 pm

hello, btw...

8:42 pm

8:47 pm

I really would NOT like to be Jamie, aka Dr_God right now (or at any time really). he set up a great word-finding site. He finds the most 'easy' dictionary he can for it. But still the punters are not satisfied. He pops his head up a time or two, or three, when the site is troubled, and gets tenfold troubles! Jamie, lad, you deserver a medal!

8:47 pm

the tile gods smiled upon me

8:47 pm

yes, please Jacula referring to your lovely offer of 8:42 pm game time.... LOL

8:47 pm

8:50 pm

ET 6 & 7?

8:50 pm

can you tell i'm tired?

8:50 pm

Didn't say I was offended by the words, just the use of some while others aren't allowed. Maybe Dr. God needs to broaden allowable sources, etc.

8:50 pm

Am I mising something here, since going for a comfort break?

8:50 pm

No, I am NOT okay. And I am fussy, and I am cranky. I feel yucky. Pretty sure it's a reaction to the migraine medicine I took yesterday, but have not gotten any better. *fuss, fuss*

8:50 pm

I am not "knowing" SE....help me out stidmama....I'm not knowing....what you are talking about.

8:51 pm

8:53 pm

ty hi

8:53 pm

oooh sorry, don't want to ruin chocolate for you...wait until you feel better.

8:53 pm

Or would youy like someone else to take it up? I think NOT! It will keep...

8:53 pm

I only took it yesterday -- worked on the migraine. Sent a note to the doc by email as soon as I was able to sit up. I will probably call him tomorrow anyway.

8:53 pm

hey there hi there

8:53 pm

e6&7 - what cows produce minus first letter...explosive gas.

8:53 pm

Hope you feel better Stid!

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

what did you take, stid?

8:53 pm

But I don't know until I tell it, Jacula! I am pre-programming my dreams, you know! LOL

8:53 pm

chocolate has caffeine which can trigger a headache

8:54 pm

hi there hey there

8:54 pm

it's okay, NO CHOCOLATE (or coffee or food) today.

8:54 pm

anyone got the te6 and the en6??

8:54 pm

THanks. Got them. 10 words left to find.

8:54 pm

Chocolate and cheese are the best known triggers for migraines.

8:54 pm

Hope you're feeling better tomorrow, Stid.

8:54 pm

*takes back tea, offers hot water bottle?*

8:54 pm

stid would toast or rice be okay?

8:54 pm

8:54 pm

and red wine, jac

8:54 pm

en 6 = hatred

8:54 pm

I will feel better tomorrow, mom, thanks.

8:54 pm

it will trigger a tension headache and ease a migraine, often

8:54 pm

omg chj- soupy is one my most treasured memories from childhood. i loved him so much i was convinced he was my uncle!

8:54 pm

EN6?

8:54 pm

te 6 = bowling type

8:54 pm

8:54 pm

Yes, Ping. Thank god I drink white wine!

8:55 pm

there is a different chemical in chocolate that triggers migraines in some sufferers

8:55 pm

you are blessed, jac!

8:55 pm

yes, i'll often have a coke when i have a migraine to try to ease it

8:55 pm

hithere! you got me down to 20 words... :-)

8:55 pm

youre dating yourself Is 1

8:56 pm

woohoo for team babble!

8:56 pm

And migraines for me are usually caused by bright or flashing lights, or loud or repetitive noises at certain pitches.

8:56 pm

i was going to say.. caffeine helps my migraines most of the time

8:56 pm

The only word I'm missing now is the EN6/27 and I need another hint besides the one that was given not long ago because that didn't help me.....Please!

9:02 pm

Jacula, no one is attacking anyone here. And if they do, they will get .... (drumroll) the "MAMA" look (patent pending)!

9:02 pm

Into the forest, stid!

9:02 pm

ch, they played off each other so brilliantly that it is hard to say, do you have a favored one?

9:02 pm

does anyone know un 5/14 or 5/12?

9:02 pm

As Steven Sondheim wrote in one of my favorite musicals, "Into the woods and through the trees to where I am expected... The way is clear, the path is good, I have no fear nor no one should. The woods are just trees, the trees are just wood..."

9:03 pm

9:05 pm

Paul shrugged and stood up to move the lamp closer. Gilly waited patiently for his reply, anchoring the thread near the hole and starting to weave methodically back and forth.

9:09 pm

I liked that clue, Eva!

9:09 pm

Hi LA and Eva

feather - if you're stilll listening - i'm at 12!

9:10 pm

He looked quickly out the window and closed the shutters, then drew the curtains back.

9:10 pm

Gilly made a funny sound and stuck her finger in her mouth.

hi angelsong

9:10 pm

9:11 pm

"Will you please sit down, I cannot mend and watch you pace at the same time," she exclaimed.

He caressed her hands, "I don't really know. I was terribly homesick. I had seen things that felt like the legends we tell but don't really believe. I wasn't sure I could 'belong' even as much as I had once I returned."

"So," Gilly mused, "you were frightened that you wouldn't fit in here again. And nervous about your reception in the land you were coming to. But you kept going. Why?

9:19 pm

jac, what if you held shift down while typing?

feather - only if i get the following questions answered:

9:20 pm

Paul shrugged, "I think because I felt drawn to the place. All my memories centered around wanting to know how I came to the village.

9:20 pm

Ping - which wa6? I'm guessing it's not a non-sleepy one - wa6/36 - past tense of "is" + attempt

9:20 pm

9:22 pm

I will read the story in babanon, good night everyone! hope you feel better, stid!

9:22 pm

Gilly nodded and tapped her foot a little. "Well, so what happened when you entered the forest? Did it close in around you and swallow you up?"

9:23 pm

Jilli - I think myself and Stid have somehow got into some silly stand-off situation. No idea how or why!

good nite annie:)

9:23 pm

No Jacula, you ask questions, I answer them honestly... now I am telling the story and won't surface for air for quite some time.

9:23 pm

Going to bed myself now, still wondering...

jacula - from where i sit - i do not see any such situation - all appears fine!

9:24 pm

Grid finished though! HEY!

9:24 pm

night, jac, sweet dreams

wtg jacula !!!!

9:24 pm

Paul grinned wryly. "I guess I am building this up pretty well for that!"

9:24 pm

**now into the no-quotes mode of Paul's adventuring**

ga 7/40?

9:25 pm

Stid - so the tensiuon is a perceived thing from elsewhere?

9:25 pm

Glad t hear so!

9:25 pm

The sun was already beginning to move lower in the sky when my jenny and I entered the dark stillness of the forest.

9:25 pm

and pointers for the se8?

9:25 pm

{{{Jacula}}}

9:26 pm

Still going to be, Stid. Catch up later.xx

9:26 pm

hk - I've been waiting for that one! ga7/40 sounds like something you say before bedtime.

9:26 pm

At first, there were some pretty wildflowers. I thought of Polly and how she was always bringing you flowers from the fields.

scv- aware

*whispers* hi everyone! hi jacs!

9:27 pm

se8 - capable of emotion.

9:27 pm

*oh, right, jenny is a baby mule...

9:27 pm

There were some great climbing trees as well -- remember when John and Nancy managed to get stuck in the tree by the burial plot?

9:27 pm

hi temple!

9:29 pm

centi

is stid in the middle of her tale?

9:29 pm

sorry

9:29 pm

As we moved deeper into the woods, it grew quieter. Occasionally there would be a small creature scuffle through the dried leaves on the forest floor, or the soft wingbeat of an owl. But the trail itself looked mostly unused. And certainly I had seen no sign of other travelers in the last two days.

9:32 pm

jilibus, I don't get it. How do you pl that word...I have tried everything I know?

9:32 pm

I did not dare light a fire, for I could hear no creek nearby and I carried only a little water with me. So I made do with a few more cakes and dried fruits. I tied the jenny loosely to the rear of the cart, and lay down under it to sleep.

There was a gang of little men, connected by chains, pulling on a large chest. Behind them, a small -- woman, I think -- swept the trail and then scattered dry leaves so that their passage was all but invisible.

9:35 pm

yw, possums!

he is hysterical

9:36 pm

The men looked neither right nor left. Just as they were almost out of sight, the jenny shifted and snorted in her sleep.

9:36 pm

I agree about emo - we should google him

9:36 pm

9:40 pm

en6 - deep, often mutal, hatred.

She patted my knee then with a shake of her finger, warning me to stay put, she swiftly hitched the mule to the cart and put the reins in my hands.
