mmm we noticed, jillli

12:35 am

chic! i gotta agree with you on sp

12:35 am

is that a froggie chj on your ha* chj?

12:35 am

is that a frog on your cap, chj? If so, why?

12:36 am

did you watch bb? did you see james throw a fit? hysterical - "mommy, janey took my dolly" LOL

i saw it helen

i don't like james at all

12:37 am

hi white - do you get the feed too?

nope

12:37 am

james is horrible, but then most of them are - do you want a little, possible spoiler?

shot

12:38 am

is that a yes or a no?

it's a yes

12:39 am

they are talking of voting james out instead of cg

12:39 am

Hey Helen, James needs his mommy!

i hope so

12:40 am

also tonight & this is really horrible - will told boog to 'bang erika' so she still thinks she's with them

12:40 am

boog & erika have been messing around under the sheets the last week or so

12:40 am

chic - LOL

i don't like chilltown

they are like kids

12:41 am

I hope the final 2 are Jannie and Will because Will will lose...

they ARE kids

12:41 am

what are you talking about? What's bb?

12:41 am

i think it's just horrible the way they are using everyone - no i do not like ct either, i was starting to like will, but it's looking like he just wants to win at ALL costs

12:42 am

agree chic

12:42 am

Jilli, Big Brother 7...

i agree totally

12:42 am

Sorry, never heard of it.

with chj and helen

I've been and gone, gotta run though - bye!

12:43 am

Jannie could win with Marcie, Howie, CG and James in the jury....

12:43 am

Jilli, I love you!

12:43 am

it's really amazing how almost everyone on the feed chats loves janey - she has the entire country behind her & the only one that will come out smelling like a rose

12:43 am

thanx, Lickety ;-)

12:43 am

thankyou for the clues lickety

12:43 am

lickety - thanks a million!

12:43 am

Thanks, sue!

12:43 am

thanks lickety!

12:44 am

Thanks Lickerty!

12:44 am

Long live Lickety!!!!!

12:44 am

And thanks Lickety!

why does nobody realize that will is playing the same game like in his season?

12:44 am

that is a tree frog jilli...its the everett aquasox...a minor league affiliate of the Mariners

12:44 am

nard

i hope janey wins

12:44 am

I think this is Will's one big mistake was not taking out Janelle when he had the chance....

12:44 am

oops

12:45 am

yes chic - that's why now ct is thinking of taking erica to the end instead of janey, cause no one will vote for erika - cause she's just white on rice on whoever is hoh

12:45 am

whitewitch - i know!!! how gullible - it's his charisma

12:45 am

Love little tree frogs - go aquasox!

i am glad to hear that your country is behind janey

12:46 am

this thurs hoh comp will decide alot

12:46 am

where are you whitewitch?

he has no charisma in my eyes

12:47 am

even if it's 'fixed' it good entertainment. We loved it when Jannie got the doll from James at any cost!

i am in the caribbean

me too chic

12:47 am

go jani go!!

12:47 am

white - does bb get a big audience where you are?

12:47 am

have you guys refreshed to see my icon today?

i don't think so helen

but i am not sure

12:48 am

lol chic - great icon!!

12:48 am

OHHHH Big Brother talk!!! Go Janie!!!

12:48 am

chic - ay caramba!

12:48 am

celebes ox is in the grid

12:48 am

LOL chic - good one!

12:49 am

well, ever since mikey left, we have a show-off vacuum. just trying to provide a badly needed service.

12:49 am

nitey hursh...sleep tight

12:49 am

nite hurshy

12:49 am

Ren did you play some slots at least?

12:49 am

the ONLY redeeming thing about james so far is that he didn't vote howie out. as in, literally. he had a hand in it, but i appreciated that small gesture of honour

12:50 am

night all

12:50 am

that was no honor, franny, that was gameplay to make them think he was still a bb6er

12:50 am

no chic - i was chased by some wild jack rabbits

12:50 am

well put, Hurshy!

chic your icon is cool

12:50 am

cute way to clue, chj...............

i agree saint

12:51 am

you were out in the desert, Ren?

12:51 am

well, i know helen... it's just about impossible to find something to like about him. i've tried, just because. .... in any case, can't figure out why sarah is with him

12:51 am

lol hursh - i just got it!

12:51 am

franny - yes, that's a huge mystery

12:51 am

i feel So bad about howie

12:51 am

:(

i agree again saint

poor howie

12:52 am

i almost began to Sorta like boogie... but he totally ruined it with the way howie went out.

12:52 am

yes chic- we went on a wild trek into the desert

12:52 am

Howie didn't do squat this time, he had to go sometime anyway...

and poor kaysar

12:52 am

yeah - that was a bad thing they did to howie

12:52 am

thx chj and google

12:52 am

i can't Wait til they all get out and see how we all view them. seems like most of us are in agreement - they'll be Stunned

lol saint

12:53 am

cire

12:53 am

howie was a Team with janie. he had her back - even tho he never won anything ;).... still... he would never betray her. unlike the Rest of those scumbags

ty jilli lol

12:53 am

Thanks Jilli.

correct saint

12:53 am

wish I could just scroll down and xxx that out - sorry again!

12:53 am

erda if you got that clue, your an oldtime crossword puzzler...you rarely see the celebes ox in todays puzzles..its an endangered species

12:53 am

as for our babbler, Marcellas - i'm Sure hoping he sees the error of his ways re: janie. he was Dead wrong about her and owes her an apology

12:53 am

bite your tongue saintfranny - like boog, are you kidding? he is a derelict (there is so much that goes on that is never shown on tv - the business in the pool box sealed it for me with boog -he's just gross)

can we not send howie back into the house ;-

12:54 am

yw jilli

;-))

12:54 am

lol chj - just read back in the chat - i got it from your clue

12:54 am

Ohhh i watch the feeds helen. haha. i know. the 'jackshack' is disgusting

12:54 am

but really Janie doesn't need anyone but interesting if CG is being earnest with her....

12:54 am

yes, chj, I am an old-time crossword puzzler! LOL

12:55 am

CG does seem earnest and sincere, but he totally stabbed both kaysar and howie. did NOT like that.

12:55 am

that's what i'm talking about franny - how low can you go - doesn't he think his mom is watching him -, uh, along with a national audience

12:55 am

should i give a misleading clue for the misleading story

12:55 am

canards

12:55 am

well of course, howie was the biggest user of the 'shack'. wish he wouldnta done that

12:55 am

i'm lost

12:55 am

ooops sooory

12:56 am

is tis one of those "reality " shows?

12:56 am

FMitch, I think I know what mints you are talking about but can't figure out the word :(

huh?

6:58 am

he9/60 builds on the organ that beats. Builds into 2 x 8 and the 9

peri add a guys name - sounds sorta like what you do to clothes to get the creases out.

7:03 am

I rhought that as well Eva!

7:03 am

peri - add a 3-letter Scottish man's name to the end. Think Mr. Dury & The Blockheads or Mr Duncan-Smith.

7:03 am

7:03 am

7:14 am

4 x gh

7:15 am

i thought that peoople that lived on the water were called bo**IES

7:16 am

gh: think 'a slum' or rundown area of an inner city

7:16 am

thanks angelsong

7:16 am

Thanks Angel

7:17 am

why isn't "argh" a word? I use it all the time

7:17 am

Angel - I'm hearing that old Elvis song now...

7:17 am

I think you can use it if there are two as carrie.

7:18 am

carrie - don't know, but it should be!

7:18 am

:) Jera...

7:18 am

snowy - what a pretty cake!

7:18 am

aargh!

7:18 am

jg26 - take the word you typed in the log and pl it then take the last letter and and move its position for another 5/16

7:20 am

thanks fmitch...have got all the gh's now.

7:20 am

You can also get the ag6/27 from that too, means struck by shock or amazement.

7:20 am

then put first vowel in front of it and get ag 6/27

7:21 am

quick thinking fmitch ta

7:21 am

7:21 am

gard

7:21 am

Sorry

I"m missing one B....is there one really weird one?

7:22 am

HAve you got the 7 chiley? pl of the one before? or there are a couple of funny 4/6s

7:23 am

chiley - is it bo6/27, the flounder (a fish)? Think the first 4 letters of Napoleon's surname + an Italian 'yes'.

7:23 am

yes I have the fish and the watercrafts and the short for electronic device

7:23 am

FMitch - t/y! I hadn't noticed the plural flounder.

7:24 am

chiley do you have anagram of watercraft?

7:24 am

and the 2 for getting out of jail

7:24 am

chiley do you have the savings b*?

7:24 am

I got all the B's! surprising, but true

8:52 am

thanks, TO

8:52 am

I will pass it along

8:53 am

Mich- begin with the st's, that's what i did

Bummer. Another big grid - too much to do (I'm on holiday in the States), too little time. How is everyone, anyway?

8:54 am

hi matty. whereabouts in the states?

8:55 am

hi matty - are you having a good time?

8:55 am

Good idea abe...

hi matty! how was your flight?

Bucks County, PA (northern Phily suburbs) and we're having a great time...

I'm going to do the unthinkable. I'm going to buy a bathing suit. It'll be painful. And ugly. But it has to be done.

8:56 am

you can do it matty!

Flight was 2 hours late - that wouldn't have been so bad, except we spent a good deal of that in the plane. ON the ground

and i'm sure, since you can't carry on your own beverages, they had plenty to keep you comforatble?

8:58 am

Well I escaped Majorca without being harpooned -which was a small miracle in itself, &if I can do it anyone can. LOL

Actually, we were allowed duty free in the end, and sealed bottles. I don't think they really knew what the rules were, to be honest.

LOL Snowy!

matty - are you going to the shore?

9:00 am

right speaking of swimsuits - it's time for a late lunch - had better feed the hubby or he tells his mother! BBL

Nope - just a swimming pool in Princeton. But apparently it's quite a good one.

bye snowy! matty, glad thingks were tolerable for your flight. Weather here is good, too!

9:05 am

matty, have a great time in the states! nrkii lives in lambertville, n.j. which is near bucks county. I love bucks county.

9:05 am

9:10 am

I have the last 4 out of the 6. The first too is killing me

9:16 am

i think this puzzle is going to be the death of me

9:22 am

klaurel - ar5/12 & 6/21(plural) = someone who has gained enlightenment. However, try this ar+ head garment/s.

9:23 am

ar5 is One who has attained enlightenment plus the plural

9:23 am

9:23 am

10:04 am

Yes TO it's a bo6 & 7 combo

10:04 am

I got to 240 ish. But made 200 with no clues, so I was pretty chuffed about that

Woohoo!

ty mitch *goes fish-ing*

10:06 am

10:13 am

sorry amanda, my keybaord seems to do it's own thing from time to time

raio

10:13 am

lady, there's almost always - well, quite often - a fish in the grid. It's the ichthyologist conspiracy to take over the world

Amanda, I knew it!!!

whats the fish clue?

10:15 am

one of the 8's is most feline

10:16 am

There is a ca8/45 - male singer with very high voice. ca8/45 - work through the feline words to get to the 8. 2 x h8/45 and a 9 build on the beating organ.

not to mention more feline than that

10:16 am

And one of the 8's is the most vermin like

10:17 am

Great clues FMitch

FM I got one of the he8's, can you clue the other?

Another is the sc8/45 more brief/revealing perhaps? ta 7& 8 combo lay in the sun for a t** and add Scarlet O'Hara's home

10:19 am

Lady, one he is more than, the other is the most

10:20 am

HA8 - one is more so and the other is "ahoy me ..." the most is the 9.

10:20 am

FMitch - where did Scarlet live?

ooh, great clue, FM, thanks!

10:21 am

Oh, oops, thanks for correction FMitch :) *looks sheepish*

10:22 am

where scarlet lived is also a girls name

10:22 am

It was the name of the house and plantation she had. Failing that think of T*** Palmer Tompkinson

Thank you Ragalla and FMitch

10:45 am

the plural and the more-so.

ty amanda! i am missing a 9 not he 9

10:46 am

Related to the TA6 Owl.

10:46 am

TO amanda is clueing you the other 8

i don't have ta6 : (

10:48 am

sorry, I'm filling in the list so am not paying close attention to the chat - I think that ta6 that the 9 is related to is the sex one, right?

10:48 am

TA/6: combat strategy

can someone explain what TA/6 and things like this mean?

I'm not sure how your clues work

10:49 am

unmatched -- most people are using a "list"

10:50 am

sorry -- such as "Lickety's List" link at bottom of this page.

is this a subscription thing?

10:50 am

The letters they are giving start the word, the first numer is how many letters in the word and the second is how many points the word is worth.

10:50 am

Lickety's list is free.

10:51 am

wait a minute! are we talking about the same ta6? So you're making love and war at the same time?

thankyou for the answer and the link.

10:51 am

The Tile Stats and Word Stats under the grid are availalbe only for the first two weeks for new people, then you need to subscribe to keep them.

much appreciated

10:51 am

unmatched: please check out Angelsong's Resource pages, link also at the bottom of this one. She not only has the basic rules for this game, but also links to dozens of helpful sites.

10:52 am

and good morning all -- was staying silent until I had some progress on my own. But admit to appreciating the clues for the 8s and 9s ;-)

10:52 am

and the only othe rthing to say is - be warned this can ve a very adictive game, enjoy!!!!

10:52 am

howdy, stid..

10:53 am

anyone have the na5/12 - 6/21? my monkeys are tired

hi stid! got the ta6/7 maneuvers, but haven't yet got a 9 for it...

10:54 am

n + measure of land + pl

10:54 am

of course - thanks Mitch

10:55 am

yw amanda :)

10:55 am

ty FMitch.. I needed that!

*hands a banana smoothie to amanda's monkey*

10:57 am

oh thank you TO - that should put them back on track!

* hands another one to amanda*

10:58 am

TO -- the person who studies the TA 6/7!

10:58 am

yummy - maybe that'll put me on some track too!

GREAT clue, stid! *scratches head* i know i've been signle for a while but how does that relate to sex???

11:01 am

It doesn't, unless this is a person studying how to get some!

11:01 am

*giggling uncontrollably*

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL X D

11:01 am

ok, we are definitely talking about different ta6's!

11:02 am

yes amanda, very different, but the confusion is really funny!

11:02 am

well, I have stalled out at 80 words, even with help. I will hit the list when I return. Later all :-)

56 left - time for a list - and for lunch! bye stid! ty for the clue!

11:03 am

bye for now, stid..

and amanda i did not have that other ta - ty!

11:05 am

ok, now I get it - helps if one looks at the word-list before one gives clues. But ta6/18ic ta7/36 is a nice combo - say it 5 times fast!

happy babbling all - bbl!

11:07 am

see ya TO!

11:08 am

12:23 pm

ummm... is anyone else at weboggle?

12:23 pm

Wolvie -- how is the day going for you?

12:24 pm

I quit, stidmama - I'm not much good under time pressure

12:24 pm

better - now that I bought a new mouse - the old one was dead this morning. :-) How about you?

12:24 pm

stidmama I think hurshy has gone to do chores

12:24 pm

hi amanda - or bye. :-)

12:25 pm

oh well -- I'll do webboggle later... not much fun alone.

12:26 pm

good for you, Wolvie! dead mice are NOT one of my favorite things! :-)

12:26 pm

well, dead ones are better than the live furry variety - but my kitties take care of any of those. Thankfully, rarely called upon.

12:29 pm

:-) okay, off to see who the kids' teachers will be this next year. Later All!

12:29 pm

hola

12:34 pm

hey judi and torgone!

12:35 pm

Hmm. Getting a bit sticky now. Down to 110 words left to find. Think it might be time to cheat.

12:37 pm

82 to go and thinking the same!

12:38 pm

If you're not cheating, you're not trying ..

12:38 pm

deborahsue - is this my sister?

12:38 pm

On the bright side... I just found the bo-fish.

12:39 pm

sharing?

12:39 pm

No sharing. That would be cheating.

12:40 pm

:(

12:41 pm

torgone, bo6/27 - if I'm getting my pop reference right, it's the youngest Brady bunch boy minus the -du- in the middle

12:42 pm

that is too funny vic - I just had monkeyed that!

12:42 pm

help with ar5/6 please

12:43 pm

Or you could think of it as a beautiful Italian fish and see where that gets you...

12:43 pm

????

12:44 pm

take the du out of danny b**du**, tor

12:44 pm

or, you could think of the numbers used to create the golden section and take off the fi- in front and a -c- toward the end.

12:45 pm

LOL - keep going vic!

12:45 pm

OOOOOOHHHH!!!! Partidge Family, not Brady Bunch ..

12:45 pm

thats a good one Vic!

12:45 pm

Sorry. I did warn you I was a little iffy on the pop reference! :)

12:45 pm

the ts7 and 8 are good wards. think of what happens when a plantation from Gone With The Wind is out in the sun too long for the 7. The 8 is plural.

12:46 pm

when a plantation is out in the sun too lone - hmmm

12:46 pm

ar and what you wear on your head oggy

12:46 pm

I can't type! my clue for the t7 and 8 is a TA, not ts.

12:46 pm

Ha ha, Angelsong! I think that plantation was out in the sun WAY too long!

12:46 pm

long

12:47 pm

Vicuna, that's cute.

12:47 pm

Wolvie, it's the sound trumpets make when they're doing a fanfare.

12:47 pm

ah! thanks vic

12:49 pm

well I've worked out the first 4 letters of it ... now for the last 3!

12:49 pm

Which one are you after, Atalante?

12:50 pm

the sunburnt plantation!

12:50 pm

Oh. That's also the trumpet fanfare, if that helps.

12:52 pm

Hi all. Has someone clued one of the big ones recently? (I logged on then immediately had a repairman showed up)

12:52 pm

ata - think what sunshine does to your skin(not burn) and the name of the GWTW plantation

12:53 pm

The plantation is also the name of ice skater Lipinsky.

12:53 pm

And the name of the ancient Irish seat of High Kings.

12:53 pm

oh! was looking for it the wrong way round! plantation first

12:53 pm

Oh.. I was doing the plantation firts

12:54 pm

first

12:54 pm

Or a famous fancy penannular brooch...

12:55 pm

and of course take one of the vowels out for a very different meaning ...

12:55 pm

ata, going that way will get you to the ta 6/18...

12:55 pm

okay, vic - are you doing trivia? ;-)

12:55 pm

I'm on a roll, here, Wolvie, don't get in my way! :)

12:55 pm

not me!

12:57 pm

and if it were possible, which it isn't, one could change the "ra" in the plantation word for "rara" and have a longer trumpet fanfare!

12:57 pm

Is that the ta6/18 that's plaid, you're referring to?

12:58 pm

yah

12:58 pm

taking liberties, of course. ;-)

12:58 pm

By the way, it's really bugging me that I can never quite get to "restaurant"...

12:59 pm

keep going and you will be wanting to eat out tonite. ;-)

1:01 pm

you can sometimes get ta 7/28 food at one. ;-)

1:05 pm

Finished!

1:06 pm

Finished!

1:06 pm

wow - major slow down - bbl

1:06 pm

Twice? Yay!

1:07 pm

Hmm... I need to look for ta7 food...

1:07 pm

Hmm... I need to look for ta7 food... Congrats, Angelsong!

1:08 pm

1:17 pm

bad angel!!!!

1:17 pm

I'm entering words..., and people are rebuking angel for breaking Babble, so Babble must be working, sort of...

1:18 pm

Maybe Babble broke Angelsong. :(

1:19 pm

Gosh I hope she's OK

1:19 pm

Well, she had finished already, so at least she was happy when the end came...

1:21 pm

Yes ther's much to be thankfull for - I WISH

1:21 pm

My analyst told me, that I was right out of my head He said I'd need treatment, but I'm not that easily led He said I was the type that was most inclined, When out of his sight to be out of my mind And he said I was nuts, no more ifs or **** or buts

1:22 pm

But Douglas, you used another word, too!

1:22 pm

i can't find the bo words, can i have another clue please

1:22 pm

Why can't they say that **** Is ten zillion light years away? Why can't the light of good Shine God's love in every soul?

1:23 pm

morning all.. how many total today?

1:23 pm

morning walnutchen - 268

1:24 pm

magzel, bo6/27 starts like Napolean, but ends with the first two letters of a big town like, say, Boston

1:24 pm

Oops...sorry about that Vicuna...

1:24 pm

morning fiz! thanks.

1:25 pm

magzel - like danny from the partridge family's last name without a "du"

1:25 pm

how are them sock animals coming along?

1:25 pm

hurt my wrist, walnutchen - not folding laundry *or* making sock animals. and trying to limit the chatting, too - typing hurts :(

1:26 pm

afternoon all

1:26 pm

thanks i got them now. that's a weird wprd

1:26 pm

fiz! oh no! carpel tunnel? I heard that can be very painful!

1:26 pm

hi charm!

1:26 pm

Ouch, Fiz, I hope it feels better soon!

1:27 pm

Hi, TheFiz

1:28 pm

my dr. says not carpal tunnel - it's an "overuse injury" brought on by too much knitting, typing, and sewing, and exacerbated by the major food prep i did for a party this past weekend. gotta get a brace and be nice to it - a good excuse not to do various household chores

1:29 pm

my suggestion is that no one else decide to make 25 avocados worth of guacamole at one sitting!

1:29 pm

fiz... including laundry? just kidding. Well, take care - not being able to babble would be a major bummerage!

1:30 pm

Fiz-- have you not heard of that new invention? I think it's called a "food processor"!

1:30 pm

walnut - 3 clean loads in the basement waiting to be folded....i just cant do it! and 1-handed typing is really annoying so i'll be a little quiet - but i'll be watching....

1:30 pm

Aw fiz ... :( Hope you feel better ..

1:30 pm

hi all, back from getting the boys' teacher assignments.

1:31 pm

lol stid - i'm a luddite. no dishwasher either.

1:31 pm

stid! You can't make guac in a food processor!!!! Then the avo's are not chunky no more!

1:31 pm

I don't mean to go on a ****, but...

1:31 pm

rant

1:31 pm

oops.

1:31 pm

Hi all - again just dropping in - another busy day and another big grid :(

1:32 pm

hi all. may i have a slight push toward the 9's?

1:32 pm

Fiz -- don't reply, but know that I understand only too well about RSI, and definitely don't "push" yourself to do anything. Take your anti-inflammatory meds as directed, not just when it hurts -- and DO use ice on the joint periodically to keep the swelling down... {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

1:32 pm

fabulous hat, jillibus

1:32 pm

Hi, abe.

1:32 pm

merci, une!

1:32 pm

Hi Charm

1:32 pm

I am enjoying the great hats, everyone!

1:33 pm

I like Mona's too

1:33 pm

ta9 = based on the ta6 meaning military maneuvers - one who makes those moves.

1:33 pm

Jill -- I am not overly busy, but have decided that grids over 150 are going to be "finish if a miracle happens" grids...

1:33 pm

he9 = based on the cardiac organ - the most hale & he*******.

1:33 pm

me too, stid

1:33 pm

hi all - is there another spelling of danny - partridge family for the bo -- i keep trying bo + hump letter + high card - and it says it's not found

1:34 pm

he9/60 - most chunky as in soup, or most healthy as in pirates

1:34 pm

thanks Charm

1:34 pm

end letter is NOT e, debb....

1:34 pm

thanks, charm, for that ta9!

1:34 pm

bo6/27 = fr. for good + high card sub another vowel for the final.

1:34 pm

thanks vicuna

1:34 pm

phantom sector

1:35 pm

Watch out everyone, Douglas has just entered the phantom sector!

1:35 pm

thanks stid and charm - thought i was going INSANE

1:35 pm

stid - I trust your migraine is in abeyance?

1:35 pm

(But I'm still hanging out at the phantom restaurant.)

1:35 pm

debb -- no worries about "going" insane for you

1:35 pm

yw

1:35 pm

*rolls on floor giggling hysterically*

1:36 pm

may I have a phantom drink and something 'deep fried in chocolate'?

1:36 pm

yes, thanks Jill -- it better be, after the nonsense I went through on Monday! :-)

1:36 pm

:-)

1:36 pm

What's the food like at the phantom restaurant? My waitress told me that if I had the Heath Crunch Silk pie, she would speak a blessing over it and cast out the cholesterol...

1:37 pm

Fireworks! Off to see my soccer team get slaughtered

1:37 pm

or, you know, ogre, headstand, eight, standard, hiatus, oregano...

1:37 pm

Coming right up, Charm! And it'll be served by a phantom rascal.

1:37 pm

lol, douglas!

1:37 pm

...organ...

1:37 pm

Congratulations spellit!

1:37 pm

YAY spellit!!!

Yay for spellit!

YAY spellit! (maybe the good vibes will transfer?)

1:38 pm

rant

1:38 pm

yay spellit!

1:38 pm

you know, there should be a way to get points for these phantoms. anyone can see words that ARE there...it takes real skill to see words that AREN'T there.

1:38 pm

back to the housework

1:39 pm

lol hursh!

1:39 pm

As long as you aren't hearing too many voices that aren't there speaking words that aren't there...

1:39 pm

I keep vaguely wanting chiaroscuro

1:39 pm

lucky housework ..

1:39 pm

ooh Ata! that's because you are a REAL artist...

1:39 pm

You've got chiarascuro right there in your icon, Ata!

1:39 pm

a nice normal word, just for hurshy!

1:39 pm

I am NOT doing housework yet, but have managed to direct the boys successfully to bathe the dog this morning and get the laundry started...

1:40 pm

I hear phantom castrati singing ..

1:40 pm

yikes tor!

1:40 pm

try a singuliar one, torgone!

1:40 pm

Well, one of them is real, anyway, torgone!

1:41 pm

=O

1:41 pm

I'm halfway to halfway...Minnesota Attorney General candidate Jeff Johnson is holding a press conference to explain why current Attorney General Mike Hatch should be made to do the perp walk on the 6 o'clock news. Ok ok, I'm exaggerating a little bit...

1:42 pm

Guess I should try something before declaring it phantom, eh?

1:42 pm

can he explain how to nicely scan watercolour paintings as well while he's at it? :P

1:42 pm

hello everyone.........and Douglas, what's going on with Mike Hatch

1:42 pm

I'm going to liveblog the press conference.

1:43 pm

so castrate is ALMOST in the puzzle.

1:43 pm

jaime - an old practice of castrating young singers IS in the grid.

1:44 pm

Ok, it's not a violation of any law, but it is an ethics complaint to be filed with the Office of Lawyer’s Professional Responsibility against Mike Hatch

1:44 pm

that's too bad.....i always liked Hatch

1:45 pm

what??? hmm, charm, do you know which two letters it begins with?

1:46 pm

ok, I am officially stuck now

1:46 pm

Jaime - ca8/45 = a male singer.

1:46 pm

And most people, including myself, have not paid as much attention to it as they should have, because they don't get the details. Hatch is running for governor, but TradeSports gives him a 10% chance of winning

1:46 pm

'rasta' is not a word?

1:46 pm

our AG in Rhode Island just got let off the hook for questionable campaign donations - ethics comission saw no "substantive impropriety". Cendidate for Sec. of State not so lucky....

1:46 pm

Charm, your protest is irrelevant

1:47 pm

if I make a donation to the appropriate candidate, will my protest become relevant?

rasta uses the same letter tile twice

1:47 pm

lol

1:47 pm

resistence is, as always, futile

1:47 pm

no, it doesn't.

1:48 pm

I'm talking about your protest about the absence of "rasta" from the dictionary...

1:48 pm

got 8 mil in PAC $$ lying around, charm? then maybe...

1:48 pm

I resist, I resist. I like futile gestures....

1:48 pm

No it doesn't, xunil, but the grid never takes it anyway. Maybe it's aproper noun, or maybe it just doesn't make sense. With enable, you never know.

1:48 pm

No PAC $$, 8 mil or otherwise. But I do have a mean cheesecake recipe that will bring you to your knees.

1:48 pm

Charm, resistance is futile

1:49 pm

lol charm! too bad the clinton years are over - you might have gotten somewhere.

1:49 pm

please don't hurt me locutus

1:49 pm

I. think. I. must. resist.

1:49 pm

Mmmmmm .. . . cheesecake . . .

1:50 pm

repetition is futile too, pabtrek LOL

1:50 pm

is that bo7 an extension of bo6?

1:50 pm

cream cheese. eggs. sugar. sour cream. pinch of salt. drop of vanilla. graham cracker crust.

1:50 pm

Plain old pl, jilli.

1:50 pm

bo7 is pl of the bo6.

1:51 pm

thought I tried that but must have mistyped it - thanks!

1:52 pm

mmm. you've got my vote - or whatever - charm.

doh! sorry about the rasta , finally saw it ..

1:52 pm

i need the ai 6/18 please

1:52 pm

and no $$ changed hands. ergo, no impropriety. ergo no ethics violations.

1:53 pm

ai6/18 is what Shakespeare does to the sheets (or, more likely, Anne Hathaway)

1:53 pm

no, um, "favors" required either. the other way to a politican's voting finger.

1:54 pm

oh, Fiz, my imagination is working overtime on that, um, 'favors'....

1:54 pm

Your penance, xunil, is that you spent all this time searching for a word that doesn't even count! :)

1:54 pm

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, charm - unless you're monica lewinsky.

hehehe

1:55 pm

not getting the sheet thing, Vicuna!

1:55 pm

ai6 = most stuff we breathe.

1:55 pm

thanks charm

1:55 pm

Fiz, whatever happened to her?

1:55 pm

okay, jilli... oh, I see Charm just gave a fine clue!

1:55 pm

RA 8 please? It's my last 8 that I need...

1:56 pm

ra8/40 - most like vermin

1:56 pm

ra8/40 = most rodent-ish.

1:57 pm

oooh, thanks Charm and Vi!

1:57 pm

ac6/24?

1:57 pm

Her popularity went down ..

1:57 pm

she did the cover of cigar aficionado - no, unfortunately i'm not kidding - and then last i heard she was designing handbags.

1:57 pm

ac6/24 - having to do with vinegar

1:58 pm

I can't think of any woman of my acquaintance wanting anything from her....

1:58 pm

thanks, Vicuna - what a tangle!

1:59 pm

i always thought she should have hooked up with heidi fleiss.

1:59 pm

yes, those two would have been something (notice I don't say what) together!

2:00 pm

lol charm!

2:00 pm

well I feel kinda sorry for her (stirring the barrel a bit!)

2:00 pm

She, and Fawn and Koo, and Gennifer... and all those others could ALL get together.

2:01 pm

<shudder> <cringe>

2:01 pm

if one of my kids logs on, I am going to have a lot of explaining to do! (shudders)

2:02 pm

ex-presidential-squeeze call girls? there's got to be a market for that. sorry stid

2:02 pm

stidmama, just say they were all political consultants. (sardonic laughter)

2:02 pm

why are there never male counterparts to monica, fawn, et al?

2:03 pm

Because there aren't any female presidents, of course!

2:03 pm

Hi Imp, perhaps tomorrow.......

2:03 pm

There are, but so few women in positions of power that we don't hear about them!

2:03 pm

ummm, b/c the ladies don't make it that high up the political ladder!

2:03 pm

Hello luv!

2:03 pm

Maggie Thatcher didn't manage to collect any!

2:03 pm

Women are smarter ..

2:04 pm

smart enough not to get caught?

2:04 pm

Maggie Thatcher probably had several, who are all still locked in a bunker somehwere. After all, she wasn't stupid!

2:05 pm

women realise priorities more, I think

2:05 pm

It takes a smart man to realize that about women. Makes you all the more loveable!!!!

2:05 pm

*gags on the saccharin flying around*

2:05 pm

I vote Tor - for anything.

2:06 pm

*singing* there were birds, in the trees, but I never heard them singing....

2:06 pm

Honestly, I think men are more prone to compartmentalize and think perfectly well with their brains and then turn around and "think" very poorly with other parts...

2:06 pm

Oh, Stid, please don't gag

2:06 pm

blah blah glass ceiling blah blah blah commitment to relationships blah blah emotional intelligence blah blah blah.

2:06 pm

oops. didn't realize a word was in that song... sorry all!

2:07 pm

Sometimes I'm just smart enough to say the right thing ..

2:07 pm

yay, it's my birthday today!

2:07 pm

happy birthday, Jaime!

2:07 pm

Happy Birthday!

2:07 pm

I can't imagine Maggie ever being distracted enough from her role as PM to have a toy boy on the side. Whereas men get - um - distracted easily

2:07 pm

But men, in my admittedly limited experience, also see the world as strictly black and white while women tend to see grays. So it surprises me that a savvy politician can compartmentalize.

2:07 pm

Scrabbler! hi there :-)

2:07 pm

thanks!

2:07 pm

and happy birthday Jaime. My present to you is NOT singing....

2:07 pm

yay jAIME! HAPPY DAY!

2:07 pm

happy birthday, jaime!

2:07 pm

Hooray Jaime! Now let's get back to worshiping me . . .

2:07 pm

Hi Stids!

2:08 pm

Hi Scrabbler!

2:08 pm

oops didn't mean to yell - still working on this hunt and peck thing.

2:08 pm

I am an official Babbler now--I paid up.

2:08 pm

it HAS been happy, which I never expected of 28. my husband took me out for lunch and there is some surprise party planned, although I have no idea when.

2:08 pm

Hi Matt!

2:08 pm

Happy Birthday Jaime

2:08 pm

Happy Birthday, Jaime! Torgone, what beautiful eyes you have... I mean bubble gum dispenser...

2:08 pm

I see that! congrats! :-)

2:08 pm

You are just too funny and give me a laugh each and every day.....

2:08 pm

hi stid have u got a clue for bo6/7 please

2:08 pm

ixnay on the oliticalpay onsultancay

2:08 pm

when do you begin school Matt?

2:08 pm

Hello, stidmatt!

2:08 pm

I do, oggy! just a sec...

2:09 pm

(I was thinking the same thing, Fiz!)

2:09 pm

thanks stid

2:09 pm

Italian for "good" + welsh for "dog" LOL...

2:09 pm

Wednsday after Labor Day.

2:09 pm

Hi Vicuna!

2:09 pm

That's when the boys start here too.

2:09 pm

fun jamie! lucky you!

2:10 pm

Cool!

2:10 pm

Did my postcard arrive?

2:10 pm

antie

2:10 pm

Boy, we don't start school until the 11th, here.

2:10 pm

woops, no a word anyway

2:10 pm

(But I think it was pushed back this year to give them time to get more work done on a high school renovation project.)

2:11 pm

It starts like what dogs like to chew on (first three letters) + single-letter article + first two letters of a word for an award

2:11 pm

Oggy, I hope that helps. If not, holler and I will try again.

2:11 pm

bonagi

2:11 pm

Okay, now just change out that g...

2:11 pm

Scrabbler, not yet, but we haven't been to town to check the box for several days.

2:11 pm

close - change that g...

2:11 pm

SO close, oggy! next to last letter needs to change

2:12 pm

I think it will go to T & S

2:12 pm

opinion: how does the difficulty of this board compare to yesterday?

2:12 pm

stidmatt will have many of the same teachers as last year, a different one for US History and the other math teacher -- he'll be in algebra! :-)

2:12 pm

Yesterday was not so difficult as time-consuming.

2:12 pm

I think it's easier, abe, but I also have a lot more time.

2:13 pm

abe, I think it's easier. and also not the feeling of panic because there are fewer words to find.

2:13 pm

I didn't even really try yesterday, had too much on my plate to take a big grid seriously.

2:13 pm

thanks scrabbler, charm and stidmama. i'm trying to budget my time for the rest of the day... (home sick from work)

2:13 pm

okay, we'll have to call and see if it got there. They were in Nashville this weekend for the family reunion. We want to hear how it went anyway

2:14 pm

sorry you're unwell abe, anything we can do?

2:14 pm

feel better, abe....

2:14 pm

who was in Nashville??

2:14 pm

*holds out box of tissues, pot of tea and warm blankie*

2:14 pm

thanks everyone got them

2:14 pm

stir

2:14 pm

oh thanks stid and charm! i'm happy for the company! my roomie just made me tomato soup and grilled cheese

2:14 pm

My in-laws were in Nashville, Une.

2:14 pm

*perks ears* Did someone say Nashville?

2:14 pm

oops, sorry

2:14 pm

ci 7/32?

2:15 pm

feel better abe. actually sick or running out the clock at work?

2:15 pm

ooohhh, OK

2:15 pm

mmm. That was one of my mother's standby's for sickness, too!

2:15 pm

who gets a cold in august? its just wrong

2:15 pm

actually sick, the Fiz. i went into the office earlier to prove it!

2:15 pm

I have kids -- when they got home from camp, I got whatever they brought back. There I was, a week at the end of July, sick in bed. *grumble grumble(

2:16 pm

i think i got this from our uber -air conditioner at work

2:16 pm

oh! I just looked at the clock. need to take stidgr*** to his friend's house. Stidmatt -- are you going to babble a bit longer?

2:16 pm

:( abe. ~~~{healthy vibes}~~~~

2:16 pm

thanks :)

2:16 pm

Mom, should I tell them what I am going to be doing soon?

2:17 pm

tell us matt

2:17 pm

Go for it. Don't "drop names" though -- just tell them the actual "things" you'll be doing...

2:18 pm

Scrabbler will be VERY interested, stidmatt, as it could impact her line of work someday!

2:18 pm

tell matt - and i'm interested in the names but don't want to go against your mama...

2:18 pm

And I WILL look back in the log when I come back, so be polite and don't overdo...

2:18 pm

Okay, I am going to be doing an experiment on Bacteriophage soon at a college. The Bacteriophage is a virus that infects certain bacteria.

2:18 pm

Tell me Matt.

2:18 pm

Fiz -- you're in charge! :-)

2:18 pm

*gulp*

2:18 pm

ca 8/45?

2:19 pm

Cool Matt---germs! Yuck.

2:19 pm

wow!

2:19 pm

sounds very exciting Matt

2:19 pm

oooo bacteriophages are interesting!

2:19 pm

And made famous by being present (at least "phage" was) in the grid once!

2:19 pm

cool matt - now i'm even more interested in the names. i'm a biogeek myself...

2:19 pm

They infect things like Staphococolocus, Salmonella E. Coli O157:H7 and E. Coli F,

2:19 pm

They are extremely useful.

2:19 pm

I will let folks know that the scientist who first introduced our family to bacteriophage is Betty Kutter, a longtime family friend who teaches at the Evergreen State College.

2:19 pm

Cool Fiz!

2:19 pm

Jaime= an italian boy singer who sings very high

2:19 pm

Bad bugs!

2:19 pm

ca8/45 - a male singer with a very high voice due to an operation pre puberty

2:20 pm

Interested folks can then google her name and get more info.

2:20 pm

thanks, abe!

2:20 pm

outta here! see you later!

2:20 pm

so what kind of experiments will you be doing, matt?

2:20 pm

Yes, the ones they infect are really bad. They also leave the E. Coli in your gut and cells alone.

2:20 pm

Bye

2:20 pm

See ya' Mom!

2:20 pm

yw uneaixoise (and i love your icon) bye stidmama

2:20 pm

bye stidmama. *takes the reins*

2:21 pm

wow, great Matt, all those nasty ones that are so difficult to fight

2:22 pm

I'm out of here also, rushing!!

2:22 pm

Yes, with antibiotics at least. Since the Viruses are actually infecting them with their DNA, they are extremely more effective.

2:22 pm

See ya' Flosey!

2:23 pm

if you get the chance, ask if you can look at the beasties down whatever the highest power microscope they have!

is there a FAQ or wiki with some hints? how do you come up with ca8/45 ? for example?

2:23 pm

The phage infects the bacterium with it's DNA. The bacterium makes more phages, overloads, and explodes!

2:23 pm

I will, I will now put up a diagram of them infecting.

2:24 pm

*rubs hands together in anticipation*

2:24 pm

xunil, there's "help" up above, but probably even better is "Angelsong's Babble Page" among the Friends of Babble down below.

2:24 pm

Interesting stuff, Matt. You know a lot already.

2:24 pm

xuni- we come up with our own clues. there are some pages with word lists (check links on bottom left of page) but the clues come from us, as we go along

2:25 pm

cool matt. please keep me posted!

thanks!

2:26 pm

*just struck with a moment of fear that "artic" might be accepted as a word*

2:28 pm

Meet our friend, T4, infecting our food pathogen, Eschercia Coli O157:H7.

2:28 pm

Yes, I have been studying for about a year now.

2:28 pm

fiz, LOL!!

2:29 pm

Houston, we have landed and are entering.

2:29 pm

*shakes hands with T4* Not sure if you remember but we met some years ago in a basement laboratory. how have you been?

2:29 pm

back again - things look to be working smoothly?

2:30 pm

Hi Wolvie

2:30 pm

babble yes - our minds, no, wolvie!

2:30 pm

Yup, I have been explaining the Phages to our friends.

2:30 pm

hey, wolvie!

2:30 pm

hi abe - just caught the c8 - always thought that term ended ati, but ....not here. ;-) of course, I thought it was a nine

2:31 pm

hi une!

2:31 pm

how old are you, stidmatt? (don't say if your mother would disapprove!) just wondering what level science you're doing!

2:31 pm

Hi, Wolvie

2:31 pm

hee - fiz, looks fun - and hello stidmatt. :-)

2:31 pm

wolvie, it's plural with "ati"

2:31 pm

Wolvie, apparently the c8 is the singular version

2:31 pm

I am not supposed to say, but I will tell you I am a nerd (my definition) in my early teens.

2:32 pm

Anne Rice wrote a very good book about ca----- called Cry to Heaven

2:32 pm

interesting, the grid didn't want to take that when I tried it awhile back, I will try again

2:32 pm

ah cool - I can imagine that level of fun with science!

2:32 pm

hi charm!

2:32 pm

a total departure from Vampyria

2:32 pm

*passes stidmatt the pocket protector* Here, my young friend, I don't use this so much anymore and think you can get some mileage from it....and mama would be proud of your restraint.

2:32 pm

i haven't read that rice book, une - I'll look for it

2:32 pm

no, I'm saying that the word in the grid is singular but the plural DOES end in ati

2:33 pm

Yes, as you might have figured out, it is my favorite subject!

2:33 pm

ahhhh - light dawns. :-)

2:33 pm

tx fiz!

2:33 pm

I think I used to be like you - when I was that age I had posters of viruses and the blood circulatory system on my walls instead of pop stars ...

2:33 pm

yw matt! wear it in good health....

2:34 pm

ata - so now it's pop stars? ;-0

2:34 pm

I love biology.

2:34 pm

Stidmatt, I recently found a newspaper clipping from a million years ago when i attended a science/math summer program in a small town in Tennessee--the news article headline: Girl Scientist :-D

2:34 pm

fortunately things have CHANGED!

2:34 pm

lol une! (but not as much as we would have liked)

2:35 pm

Yeah.

2:35 pm

does Anakin count as a pop star? LOL I do have a few big posters of dead fish up ...

2:36 pm

Fiz, my daughter's boyfriend who's an environmental engineer got a chuckle out of it!

2:36 pm

I do too Scrabbler it is my favorite subject.

2:36 pm

oh ROFL - good good

2:36 pm

Well, Anakin was a hero when he was alive.

can I get some clues for the 8 and 9 letter words, please?

2:36 pm

Read, read, read.

2:36 pm

sorry to interrupt, but DR7 please?

2:36 pm

my great-aunt, who I'm incredibly proud of - was the first woman to get a science degree in Australia - in biology! she set me off onto my path through life I think!

2:37 pm

ah, never mind.....

2:37 pm

Yes Scrabbler. That is very good.

2:37 pm

very cool, ata!

2:37 pm

dr7 radical

2:37 pm

thanks, Unea.

2:37 pm

Are you a scientist Atlante?

2:37 pm

Ata, that is soooo cool!

2:38 pm

awesome ata!

2:38 pm

marine biologist

2:38 pm

just a general observation - some things that you can plural never cease to amaze me...

2:39 pm

Cool! That is a fascinating subject, like all biology!

2:39 pm

in Babble grids, it's insane, Wolvie!

2:39 pm

i always thought i'd be a marine biologist growing up - just sort of fell into HIV prevention through some personal connections - and losses.

2:39 pm

its great fun :) I did my degree in marine biology, then did my PhD in the evolution of fish on coral reefs through geologic time

2:39 pm

ata! whilst at UofM (AA) I was going to do that - but did chemical engineering instead - wanted enviro, but - no official degree at that time. Le sigh

2:40 pm

une - babble boggles. ;-)

2:40 pm

Cool, Ata. I love reading about evolution.

2:41 pm

Cool! I would like to get a PHD in bacteriophages someday.

2:41 pm

very impressive, ata - and neat.

2:41 pm

cool ata. i've got a friend working on phd research in the sargasso sea right now - something with sea turtle migration patterns or something.

2:41 pm

arts

2:41 pm

chem engineering must be have fascinating though!

2:41 pm

oops. again

2:41 pm

wow fiz - nice work area!

2:42 pm

it has its moments, ata. ;-)

2:42 pm

and, apparently atalante skipped out on grammar class on her way to biology....

2:42 pm

lol yes I think I did!

2:42 pm

no no - we both missed typing 101

2:42 pm

I know a friend who got her PHD on the women in Aberdeen, Scotland, in a short period in the Middle Ages!

2:42 pm

sea turtle migration patterns? what a cool cool subject!

2:43 pm

yes she's enjoying it. hard work but she's a surfer, too, so she gets to visit awesome beaches all over the world and surf them.

2:43 pm

PhDs can be on *the* most bizarre subjects

2:44 pm

must break from chat - wrist hurting - but matt my eyes are on you and i'll be making a full report to your mother so be good. *gentle but irritating pinch on cheek*

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

Wow--I didn't even plan that one either.

2:56 pm

3:55 pm

3:57 pm

wise is the lint. listen to it you must.

3:58 pm

Dont fall under the evil lint spell!

Okay, I give up ... the lint monster is coming to get you !

3:58 pm

3:58 pm

sorry klaurel. school busses already? isn't it early for that?

3:58 pm

if only we could use lint to run our automobiles

3:59 pm

School started TODAY! my son is stupid too, but dang

Anyone get the first an4/4 ... I'm spacing today

3:59 pm

evening all..just got home from a visit to family in mich. WHY do I not see any O words?????...help

3:59 pm

hi, lianakate

3:59 pm

this is what I logged to keep track

3:59 pm

5th grade boys teased him when he asked for some candy. They offered him, teased him, took it away. When one asked Stefan to tell him what his name was and Stefan didn't know the boy's name, they began to twist his arm. When he fought back, they held him down, took his shoe off and threw it towards the front where other boys tossed it around and hid it from him.

3:59 pm

just remember that bullies are suffering from low self esteem, and they tend to back down if you (or your son) stand up to them.

3:59 pm

hi, charm :)

3:59 pm

oa** quaker makes 'em

Oops, nevermind, got it

3:59 pm

hi liana

4:00 pm

wolvie..:)

4:00 pm

Stefan basically didn't say anything until my mom noticed the side of his face was all red

4:01 pm

duh..i was looking at the top O..(smacks self)

4:01 pm

oooh. 5th grade pride is a precious thing....

4:01 pm

last year he got teased for several weeks for being Chinese (well, 1/2)

4:01 pm

sorry about the bullies, klaurel. I don't remember bullies being such a problem when I was a kid on the bus in the 70s and 80s.

4:01 pm

Stefan is a 4th grader, unfortunately

4:01 pm

when he goes home withfriends on other buses, their bises are FINE

4:01 pm

is his school offering any help, klaurel?

4:01 pm

rice

Anyone get the an7?

4:02 pm

Its been so long since I was in 5th grade...all my teachers have bit the dust...(nuns)

4:02 pm

oc5/14 = having to do with 8s. oc6 is pl.

4:02 pm

nope. Not unless he comes forward and points out the kids, whom he doesn't know, so he has to do it to their face ,sigh>

dusty nuns and talking lint .... I thnk I'm over caffeinated

4:02 pm

more picnic pesty, lady

4:03 pm

which scares him and puts him in danger when the school slaps their wrist and sends them right back onto the bus

4:03 pm

lady..the one I got for the an7..is picnic pests being pestier..or one who is more anxious than the others..

4:03 pm

most of you don't know this about me but i have an imaginary crossbow on my back at all times - when people talk on their nextel during a movie, pump the bass on their car stereos in the middle of the night, etc, i whip it out and fire away. very satisfying and no one actually gets hurt. i'd be happy to loan it to him...

4:03 pm

an7 - to be more restless

4:03 pm

So, I called my lawyer's office to know how to best protect ourselves, since Stefan WILL break and he WILL hurt someone since he is a blue belt

hey everyone! only 100 to go :)

That cannot be a real word!

4:04 pm

and I don't want to be sued for him protecting himself

4:04 pm

yikes, klaurel - sounds like you're making some wise choices, at least, given the situation...

4:04 pm

me too, helen - and - hello!

4:04 pm

wish you well in all that klaurel. (my son is still too young for all that nonsense.)

4:05 pm

Bullying is such a huge problem klaurel, I hope you find the right solution for you all.

4:05 pm

I knew someone from another district whose kid came home with a bloody lip and they didn't do anything

4:05 pm

Hi Helen & liana

4:05 pm

thanks, charm..i thought there must be an 8 involvement there..but none who are so blind..etc, etc..UGH

4:05 pm

hi snowy :)

4:06 pm

well, I will see what my lawyer says, snow. I mean, Stefan is annoying as all heck and has a habit of being VERY easy to rile, which is wht everyone does it to him

4:06 pm

It's time to make dinner and clean house (my belly button does not say so). happy babbling. see y'all tomorrow.

4:06 pm

bye charm

I feel really stupid, I'm stuck on the ar's too

bye charm

4:06 pm

i used to run a peer mediation program at a middle school - we helped out when kids had been suspended and were reentering school all pissed off at whomever "snitched".

4:06 pm

bye charm

4:06 pm

4:06 pm

6:28 pm

6:28 pm

LOL Fran. I don't think there are any 'rude' words, are there? None I've found yet...

6:29 pm

debby reynolds!! didn't know she was still breathing let alone singing

6:29 pm

6:29 pm

all right you 2 don't start!!

6:29 pm

oohh...sounds like a good show Miss ABS

6:29 pm

She definitely is alive and kicking. She was still a great performer, and her impressions had everyone cracking up. I was amazed at how spunky she still is!

6:29 pm

Sorry aknitter. *Jac sits on her hands.*

6:29 pm

annie, are you still here? i heard you had an incident that day as well. :-)

6:30 pm

6:30 pm

oohhh and what did annie do? spill it fran

6:30 pm

anyone see the Shatner roast on Comedy?

6:30 pm

Reynolds has always been a fav of min since i watched " the Unsinkable Molly Brown"

6:30 pm

74 I think she said. She did a little tap and some excellent jitterbugging while she was singing, she sang songs from her old musicals and showed clips and talked about what it was like to act during those times and with those actors. T'was great!

6:31 pm

i 'heard' that she typed the same word you did knitter.

6:31 pm

Yeah Molly Brown is my favourite too. You know she was nominated for an oscar for that one.

6:32 pm

jac, there is one word that could bring up "naughty" bits, the ca8/45 that is missing his.

6:32 pm

I didnt know that just know I loved it

6:32 pm

miss abs -- i'm still trying to picture debby still alive and kicking

6:33 pm

good for her, i hope we can all tap and jitterbug at 74!!

6:33 pm

runs off to look for naughty ca 8 word

6:33 pm

aknitter, did you ever see her on Will and Grace?

6:33 pm

FranMag - Thanks! Hadn't spotted that one.

6:33 pm

6:33 pm

i'd like to be able to tap now

6:33 pm

yw jac!

6:33 pm

nope never watched will and grace

6:34 pm

Definitely Fran, I was pretty impressed. The best line she had was "And for those of you in the audience under 50 who are wondering who this old lady on stage is..."

6:34 pm

brb, have to get baby from crib

6:34 pm

"I'm Princess Leia's Mom."

6:34 pm

that will and grace was classic because of her

6:35 pm

whoa re our other birthdays besdies jb?

8:14 pm

TO - can't remember now, but at least 4 other Babblers earlier.

8:15 pm

*Wondering what was happening in the December.* LOL.

i think i began playing sometime in sug or sept last year

8:15 pm

Or the November, rather. (I'm crap at maths!).

holiday spirit?

8:16 pm

I meant re the 23rd Aug birthday plethora... too much celebrating on Bonfire Night or something? LOL.

8:16 pm

yes, just got home. He likes his job enough to hang around longer than he has to. He says hi, Scrabbler!

8:16 pm

how was the time at the hospital?

8:16 pm

Hello Stidmama's Tom!

8:17 pm

We are watching a rerun of "Whose Line is it Anyway?" Those comedians are SO funny!

8:17 pm

Tom says hi Jac!

8:17 pm

I'm beginning to feel invisible

8:17 pm

stid, please see 8:12

8:17 pm

why jilli?

8:17 pm

sorry Jill, trying to eat, play with the dog, watch this funny show, get a few words and chat is getting tougher!

8:17 pm

Jilli - I did say hello to you before the last time the server kicked me off... Hello again anyway.x

8:18 pm

you know, I didn't really try yesterday. Can't remember how many words I got. I think somewhere under halfway. I know it was more than 150.

8:18 pm

My volunteer work at the hospital is very rewarding and meaningful. I saw a family and patient that I have seen for the last month.

8:18 pm

i've never seen so many words without vowels

hi jili!

morning all!

8:19 pm

Good evening

8:19 pm

mrp!!!

8:19 pm

howdy mrp!!! how;s that new nephew?

8:19 pm

Jilli - I dare not try to change my icon to share some of the Devil's Food cake I made yesterday with you. I'm afraid you will have to make do with the cake in my icon that I made for my 22-yr-old son when he was 6. You don't mind a 16-yr-old cake, do you? LOL.

{{{{mr. P }}}}

8:20 pm

8:56 pm

8:57 pm

19 clues would be nice, Cheesenips... but don't trouble yourself over it. You just go off and enjoy your dinner....

8:57 pm

re 5/12s are all like the four-sided polyhedron with all right angles

8:57 pm

cmon jac ask me 2 or 3 hard ones at least

8:58 pm

*Jac is thankful that Annie wrapped her keyboard in sa5/10 wrap earlier. (Is that what you Yanks call 'clingfilm'??)

8:58 pm

yes, Jac

8:59 pm

clingfilm hehe!! the other one i love is "sticky tape"

8:59 pm

Cheesenips - repeat after me... 'I am a Babble clue-giving addict. I WILL ge over it!'

8:59 pm

ok jac-- go for it

8:59 pm

I'll let you know when and how I've got over it. LOL.

9:00 pm

9:00 pm

hi stid

9:00 pm

Hi Stid!

9:00 pm

Almost there,stid.....? houldn't you be panting a bit? LOL.

9:01 pm

jac has released me so, dinnertime! bye all, see you soon

bye nips

9:02 pm

9:02 pm

Bah! Cheesenips, being a bloke/fella/man has just left me as the sole Babble cluer. That is NOT fair! I still have 19 words to find.

9:03 pm

And did you make your own dinner, Cheesenips? Or was it made for you?

9:04 pm

cluer, hostess with cake, entertainer - you you and you, jac

9:04 pm

dr_g should be paying you!

9:05 pm

Blimey Ping - that was full on! LOL.

9:06 pm

Re payment from Dr_G... could you e-mail him about that? LOL.

9:06 pm

i hope he's reading the log

9:07 pm

here I am now for real.

9:07 pm

sorry I can't help clue, still more than 100 to go.

9:07 pm

I think he does read the log at times, Ping. Maybe this one, since the new server has been acting up almost worse than the old one.

9:08 pm

Hi again, stid. No story tonight, I guess?

9:08 pm

I'll pay someone for the clue for ta7 and 8 after the arctic land

9:08 pm

I was going to tell the story if folks want it...

man i have been misiing plurals left and right tonight

9:08 pm

Log's playing up too much and live intervening, as it tends to do!

9:08 pm

wait...cancel that...bad math on my end!

9:08 pm

you must pay in cake, kristin - only currency accepted here

9:09 pm

you can't afford us, can you, kristin?

9:09 pm

good thing I canceled it ping...no cake here :(

9:09 pm

stid - i say yes to storytime

9:09 pm

Stid - If you are in a position to tell the story then do so. Just tell the shushers that they must not shush inbetween times... log is unsure, tenuous...

9:09 pm

kristin -- are you looking for the Ta 7/8 and 8/40 words? I have those...

9:10 pm

does anyone have the ra4/5 and 5/12 combo?

9:10 pm

nope stid...I did have them afterall

9:10 pm

kristin doesn't need them, stid, but i do - -please?

hey, i got a question ... I have one of the cr5/12 .. but for the life of me i dont understand how its 12 points

9:10 pm

the TA 7/28 is spanish for "all" (feminine) + first two letters of the kind of oysters we shouldn't eat this time of year; then plural for the 8

9:13 pm

Hi pam

9:13 pm

When we last saw Paul and Gilly, they were off to sleep, after spending several hours watching over their daughter, Doris.

9:13 pm

hi pam, happy oyster!

9:13 pm

Hi Pam. I have 18 words to go and the chatlog is far too interesting.

9:13 pm

Paul was about to tell Gilly something he thought the children shouldn't be told.

9:13 pm

hi Pam!

9:13 pm

lol, jac!

9:14 pm

Go on, Stid...

9:14 pm

can someone give a different clue for the to?

9:14 pm

stid, i got the oyster - thank you

9:14 pm

ta 7/8, rather!

9:14 pm

Thanks, all, for the nice welcom!

9:14 pm

As Paul pulled back the covers, Gilly shook out her robe and set it across the end of the bed.

9:15 pm

She stretched her neck tiredly, and started to re-braid her hair.

9:15 pm

ta 7 = skin color from sun + black sticky stuff +first vowel

9:15 pm

Paul watched her appreciatively.

9:16 pm

"You know, Gilly, you have changed, but only a little."

9:16 pm

thanks, PING!

9:16 pm

I've lost the will to find my remaining words now... think I'll just sit back and listen to the story.

9:16 pm

hi everyone, good clue ping

9:16 pm

She blushed and climbed into bed, pulling the blanket up over her shoulders.

9:16 pm

Ping, much better clue than mine!

9:17 pm

hi shirin

9:17 pm

hi shirin

9:17 pm

hi shirin

9:17 pm

"What do you mean, Paul?"

9:17 pm

Mind you, the Hero is this story does have my O/H's namE!

9:18 pm

what's the theme?

9:18 pm

Gilly considered the gray hairs, the wrinkles, the freckles on her arms from being in the sun. She thought of the change in her figure as her body rearranged itself.

9:18 pm

anyone have ta5/14?

9:19 pm

Paul turned out the light and snuggled, "I mean, you still smile like you did when we were younger, but your eyes now tell me that you appreciate the reasons to smile."

9:19 pm

pam - today, party hats & cakes - tomorrow - USOpen tennis

9:19 pm

Here I am Stid, fell asleep in front of the TV. NOw I am all ears.

9:20 pm

8-), jilli

9:20 pm

"Your hands are scarred a bit from doing more work than you should, but they remain gentle and capable."

9:20 pm

what story are you telling stid?

9:20 pm

hi inge, glad you could make it!

9:20 pm

same story, shirin -- I think this is chapter 26?

9:21 pm

join the huddle, shirin

9:21 pm

"And where you used to be have angles and edges -- "

9:21 pm

ok, thanks sorry to interrupt

9:21 pm

18 words left to find, but my very own Paul is just upstairs and snoring. I'm sure I can kick him into shutting up,eventually, once I get up there. I now ask myself, 'Do II really want to finish this grid, or do I want to cuddle up before my truck-driving partner needs to be up and away.

9:21 pm

Gilly hit him with a pillow. "Stop right there, Mister!"

9:21 pm

go cuddle up jacula!

9:22 pm

Paul laughed, "See what I mean? Still can't compliment you on your looks!"

9:22 pm

there will be another grid waiting for you tomorrow

9:22 pm

I agree with shirin -- go cuddle. The story will be here tomorrow!

9:22 pm

and the grid (hopefully a nicer size though)

may i ask a clue for the very first st word - 5/14?

9:23 pm

Gilly put her pillow back and snuggled, enjoying just being still and quiet.

9:23 pm

"Paul," she whispered after a few minutes, "what was it that you wanted to tell me when the boys came in?"

9:24 pm

TO - st5/14 is a Scottish male deer. Add a vowel!

9:24 pm

st 5: like the make deer with extra vowel

9:24 pm

ta5/14 anyone? and sa4/15, not the one that ends in Peach State

9:24 pm

*male

9:25 pm

shmooz - I saw you ask that earlier, but I have no idea what the peaach state is.

ty!ty! : )

9:25 pm

oh, sorry! The abbreviation for Georgia

9:26 pm

Paul pulled back and turned out the lamp.

9:26 pm

He grew distant and his voice quivered a bit.

9:26 pm

Paul will certainly pull back when I get into bed with a cold bum and cold fet!

9:26 pm

"She knew, Gilly -- she knew everything, it seemed."

9:27 pm

Sorry, Stid. That was an 'aside'.

9:27 pm

**into Paul mode without quotes on everything...**

9:27 pm

*giggles at Jac's comments*

9:27 pm

sa 5/14 (the one you want) =not happy+male descriptor (2 point letter and vowel)

9:28 pm

last re 6 anyone?

9:28 pm

She knew where I had been, and that I had traveled several years to get there. She knew that I was married, and had many children. She knew that I was a farmer...

kristin: begin again

9:28 pm

good nite everyone. Gotta get the little guy to bed.

9:29 pm

I tried to ask her how she knew these things, but she always answered, "Some things are not for you to know yet."

9:30 pm

She didn't tell me what was in the trunk, but she hinted that it was probably best that I not ask about it when other people were around.

9:30 pm

It was all very mysterious.

9:37 pm

thanks anyway, hk

9:37 pm

I meant 'Mother', Jilli. Mothers are the harshest taskmasters of all!

9:37 pm

*ooh nearly missed storytime!--grabs blankie and some popcorn*

9:38 pm

oh yes, I know - I had one, Jac <VBG>

9:38 pm

ac 6/24: top playing card + *** tac toe

9:38 pm

Ping, lots of acid.

9:39 pm

Mothers know every crack and crevic of your vulnerablility and sometimes don't hesitate to say so, Hence why ddaughters hate their mothers but aso love them..

ty inge

9:39 pm

About lunch time, we stopped at a small village that had an inn at the far side of town.

9:40 pm

Sons, howevdr, don't catch on so fast - so they love you longer!

9:40 pm

Ping - ac6/24 what vinegar is

9:40 pm

Ever wondered why mothers prefer sons in the end?

9:40 pm

I helped her out of the cart. She seemed a bit taller to me, but I thought little of it.

9:41 pm

thanks for AC clues - got it!

9:41 pm

hmmmmm

9:41 pm

i don't think mothers prefer sons, after all they replace mom with another woman!

9:42 pm

Not true, though... wheh it all gets down to the nasty stuff needed to help get a body through the end stages of life... it's the daughters, girls etc. who are there. Sad, but true|!

9:42 pm

and that's the truth Jac! my bro called and asked if he should come to mom's funeral! He had to ask?

9:43 pm

We walked in, and the innkeeper's daughter brought good wine immediately. The woman thanked her graciously in their language and we were soon served a simple but wonderfully cooked meal of grain and meat.

omg lbd - did ya slap him??????

hard?????

9:44 pm

i hung up on him and haven't spoken to him since, neither have my sisters.

9:44 pm

lbd - They don't replace her, other than with a woman they can ffeel at home with (Mama?) and have great se* with. (Not Mama, I would hoipe!) hat's the natural prgression of things.

9:44 pm

As we left, the woman left a beautiful ring on the table.

lbd - that means he didn't come? i honestly think some (perhaps many) men are devoid of feelings

9:45 pm

I have an only "child", a son, and he has been just as thoughtful and hlepful as he could be -- more so than I was to my mother na di was also an only "child", a daughter.

9:45 pm

lbd - just read what you wrote about your brother. That was him, I think, not your Mother though? If you want to talk let me know.

9:46 pm

no, he didn't come, or even send flowers! the man is an idiot! his live in called and asked if she could speak to my dad. I said NO!

9:46 pm

lbd - if he couldnot call himself, well...

9:46 pm

sorry about the awful typing

i don't blame you for being angry

9:47 pm

I was astonished, for I had not noticed any jewelry on her.

9:47 pm

So much anger fro al of us at one time or another... but we let it free, I hope?

9:48 pm

my stepson on the other hand is a wonderful man. he actually treats me better than he treats his biological mother, which i find sad for both of them.

9:48 pm

anyone have a clue for the ca 7's?

9:48 pm

Stid - can you just stop for a moment?

yes jacula - i agree it is important to work hard to let go of anger & sometimes it also requires time to pass

9:49 pm

Sorry Stid!

9:49 pm

We continued on, and as we moved through the valley, and the pass through the mountains came into view, I began to wonder how I came there and what would happen next.

9:49 pm

Lena, the first one is the plural, 2nd and third have to do with feline-like behavior

9:49 pm

**I will be back tomorrow folks, good night.**

9:53 pm

As the snow flies On a cold and gray chicago mornin A poor little baby child is born In the gh**** And his mama cries cause if theres one thing that she dont need Its another hungry mouth to feed In the gh**** People, dont you understand The child needs a helping hand Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day Take a look at you and me, Are we too blind to see, Do we simply turn our heads And look the other way Well the world turns And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the gh****. And his hunger burns So he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal And he learns how to fight In the ghetto Then one night in desperation A young man breaks away He buys a gun, steals a car, Tries to run, but he dont get far And his mama cries As a crowd gathers round an angry young man Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto As her young man dies, On a cold and gray chicago mornin, Another little baby child is born In the ghetto
