Hey Hurshy - good on ya

hurshy is amused
what kind of cookies would you like, ARB?
I would neverhave gotten that, TY!
I was trying for a longer word
Chocolate
of course :)
Glad to amuse you Hurshy. I am appalled at myself.
phantom word -- watch and all its permutations
yes but objectively, the person in israel being the one to spell that wrong is quite humorous
it seems there are 2 spellings here
lier
you're right -- I was just greedy and trying to get an additinal word
yup, 2
and stid is in the grid for the millionth time :)
not again - sorry
And I was looking for the 3rd -- in the wrong box, sadly.

taz, that's what i have

Jill di/9 - compound word
i agree jillibus! i haven't babbled for a while and then here's this ginormous puzzle!

I'm new so I don't know what is going on. That is how I am doing
finally got halfway... took an hour
hiya chj!

i just got there myself....207
jill need more clue?
oooh, got it
it is a slap yourself in the head

whats the icon for today/night?
Don't say that Debb - I'm feeling stupid now!
nrkii whats your palindrome
nan
i so didn't mean it like that
it's just a sillly word
If it's silly, I feel better.
sorry i had to refresh to see it
so you put yourself
whats mine?
I was short on ideas...
i got di 9 .. I think
clue us mat pls
yay mat g00d job
okay, is the first half of di 9 having to do with lack of food?
chj - i don't know who that is - doesn't look familiar
no nrk
chj, not sure who that is
has to do with what you put food on
more like what you put food in I think
chj, he looks familiar was he a friend of Riley's
eesh.. ok the baby's quiet now. and i'm only at 228/4114
no nrk
but it indirectly has to do with food
hey if helen's tape doesn't rewind neither does mine!
ohhhhh
got it
ty
4114!!!! it's even worse than I thought (lol!)
uh-oh - daddyhood wearing on roc already, lol
chic you rascal....right on
om got it tyvm
what did I get?
di/10 - something you put your hands into.....women more than men
chic - ?
ok, got the di9 & 10 - how dull of me
chj, still don't recognize your icon
I can't remember his name tho...
compound word and 2nd word is probably one you already have
hi chj - I don't recognise him either
Frightened by the sheer size of this grid, I forgot to say hello!
I am still in search of the di 10
My first grid, they come smaller?
bob?
yes mat
its otto schmidlap (played by henry kulky), friend and co-worker at cunningham aircraft of chester a reilly (played by william bendix)
this one is gigantic mat
right otto!
its di 9 plus 1
oh, far too obscure for me I'm afraid
mom when youare done with dinner what happeens to the place you ate from
mom - what is in your kitchen silk
di 10 is 112 points
sink
the only thing I got from that was William Bendix
apparently you, chj, have not done as many drugs I have...;-)
oh of course, chj, and such an obvious palindrome, not
and if you had two kitchen sinks?
kenmore
lol chic - i was thinking exactly the same thing
pl of the di 9, mamabear?
thanks mat
kenmore has it too
otto was in my memory bank before the drugs and so hasnt been kost
looking in the wrong direction. Thanks for the help.
chj - what's the tv show or movie here
i tried to make it as obscure as possible, but chic was too good for me
yes mom
life of reilly
Life of Riley Helen
never saw it - another gap, gasp
I've just got the DI 9 and 10. I am slow.
"what a revoltin' development this is"
Good night everyone - things will look better in the morning
i got lost
no not slow it was hard
it is silly - isnt it sue?
how do we save this to come back to?
tom d'andrea as gillis
mat - it soesn;t go away
mat, you don't have to save it
sweated
sweated
until midnight cst
sorry
mat, when you log back on it'll have what you've done... but a new grid every 24 hrs and no archive
i think u just come back and it is there
thanks, chj
Thx chj, we got that!
i c
Thanks chj. Didn't have that.
most grids are in the 180-240 word range & can actually be finished by mere mortals (unlike Hurshy).
oh I see this is 414
(who is not a mere mortal)
I have 83/1221
urf, just ran a plural check at last and turned up ONE measly word.
got it mich
hey what's this about mere mortals
i assure you i am in fact a mere mortal
hursh whats a plural check?
a plural check is when you look at all your words and see if you missed any plurals
very tedious.
o ty
i just want 2 more words, is that so much to ask, she says plaintively
who had that sw8, can i have a clue for it?
hurshy, you may be mortal, but I don't believe your "mere" by any stretch of the imagination -- there's a mighty brain speeding behind the curtain, that's all :)
hurshy, it's sort of sw***
sw8 builds off sw5/18
ah yes
and the plural for it
so... would you maybe say i'm the michael jordan of babble? ;)
yay, i have hit 350!
any clues for the q I have 4/7
6 of them are related, mat, the other is british money
golly gee it's late. nighty night, folks, see you t'morrow
(thinking.... can she play baseball as well as basketball? I know she rocks at Iron Suduko as well as Babble.....) Yes, Hurshy, you are like unto Michael Jordan :)
mat, go stright down from the qu for a start
night hurshy
I have three of those
cannot play baseball, wouldn't want to. cannot play other sports either, very uncoordinated. learning tennis at the moment, first real foray into the athletic realms.
bye!
plus the Q*** pro quo
night hurshy. probably won't see you tomorrow - other things to do
nighty nite, Hurshy
mat, that's also the british money - one pound
mat, what country are you from?
the pro quo clue is also britsh money
hello all abd night hurshy
USA
how many words tonight, please?
4..1..4..!!!
Unca - 414
In this part of the world £1 is also refered to as a Qu**let - but Enable won't allow it. Most unfair.
414 -- don't worry, they go quickly
oh my

plural of the sound
thanks sprite
Won't take, Beast.

Night helen!

night hk
Tssssss... 'dohs' is not found in the dictionary. Must be the dictionary from a century ago.
bye hk
Clues to be posted very shortly everyone.
Hey lickety *hug*
Definitely never watched the Simpsons
yeah, thanks lickety
I even think it must have become a verb. "He dohs here every time she says those words."
Oh, my wonderful Lickety, your presence here is most welcome!!!!!
*her
Lickety!!!!!! oh and sorry about the word posted before, just realized..... *blush and humbles off*
Hey Everyone!
nite helenk
Hi Lickety
man i suck
340 left
ooooof! 414!!
greetings, the great Lickety!!!
Ha Ata! *hug* It is big, but rewarding today!
well, I think it's time for me to get to bed.. only 99 left and they'll just have to wait till tomorrow. Goodnight (or day) everyone
Oh, Clues are Up! Nice Grid indeed!
Hi atalante
Good going, Hugs! Sleep well :)
cya hugabugs
yay lickety. 87 left
thanks lickety
YAY Lickety!!!
I feel like I've only just finished the last one! (was night-babbling till a few hours ago!)
where are clues?
wow, that was some chore lickety, thanks
thank you lickety!
So you're up very early then, Ata! Couldn't sleep in?
lickety, our he4/5!!!
chmnr -see lickety's babble clues link bottom left
i found the 10 all by myself!!
I'm warn out doing the clues tonight!
Lickety: you have three aw's. One of them begins "ce".
WTG Fran!
couldn't sleep - finally got to sleep about 6 then dog jumped on me a few minutes ago!
hi sprite! back from vacation?
Nasty deed of the dog!
ah well :) I'll babble for a bit then sleep some more :)
riemann Huh?
I like that agenda, Ata :)
hi nrk! nice icon
we had a big discussion yesterday about what sort of tree you were, sprite. The conclusion was a cross between a silver birch and Yggdrasil!
hi lickety!
tx fran
When I load your page, Lickety, many of the words have the wrong 2 letters listed to start the blank.
I have 3 aw-words so far, riemann.
2 more words and I go to bed
Ata! That is some compliment, LOL!
Your descriptions to the left of the boxes is correct, though.
Try Shift Refresh - or Cntrl F5
thought you'd be impressed!
*ah* Shift-Refresh worked. Thanks.
More than impressed... definitely not worthy of that!
yeah - looks like you had a part load riemann - shift refresh sorted out your cookies
Eating them all sorts out my cookies pretty well, more often than not.
mmmmm cookies
wow lickety - you're a hero
okay, I have 97 left and it's after 3:30 AM
bed, I think
hey debb!
nrkii... sounds like bedtime, lol.
i think so nrk! :-)
goodnigt/morning all!
debbinla said a wo-ord, debbinla said a wo-ord :D
night!!
7 more then i must go visit a friend
debbinia - you're such a lovely babbler!
hi fran!!!! oops - i did? dang - i better go to sleep - sorry -
lol debb!
lickety - i could NEVER ever do it without you
nm, just teasing... lickety deserves the word!
reheed
oops
Rules are that you must post valid words, Roc ;)
I'm sure I couldn't either if I played this game!
roc, try with a different consonant on the end
ah nice, thx fran!!
yw!
or a different 2nd consonant
i bet you're a great babbler lickety
oh yeah, that one too!
debbinia - I've only played about 4 grids, and never finished one. I don't have the patience or the knowledge!
All you people are too good!
streets
lickety, that means you are basically an enabler, feeding our addictions
oh shit
Yeah, that is a valid one, ramix :)
i don't have the patience or knowledge either but i still play!
Enabler... not to be confused with the enable dictionary of course! Lickety is way better :)
i mean oh sh**
so was the second one you typed ramix!!
LOL ramix!
i know
definitely better than the dictionary!!
:-)
bbl
later mva!
cya later everyone
later beast!
If we can have We7/48, why then not a comparative of the Se7/48???
Bye MVA and Beast
good question, sprite -- I have neither - lol!
bye MVA and beast
phantom word for me is whistle
414??? that scares me.
Lol jilli! The Se7: oceanic growth.
ta, sprite
thanks sprite!
And there I was thinking I found the 10... but no.
and got that comparative too - thx
what did lickety say to do if his list still lists yesterdays answeres
?
i have the se7/48, but not the we7/48
Force-refresh, debbinla. Cntrl + refresh
debb, refresh!
i have the di10/112 (pl of the di9/90) - compound word, very dull
hmm - still doesnt change - maybe it's telling me to go to sleep since it's 1 am .... and try tomorrow
jilli, great, thanks. Found them right away from that.
Could be, debbbinla, lol. Will you? Then good night to you ;)
gnite all - hope to see you all tomorrow - happy babbling
nite, nite debb!
nite debs
glad it worked, sprite!
night, debb
Okay, half way, good moment to have some breakfast. Back in a bit!
hi everyone, 414? oh my goodness. Good thing it's a Saturday and it's raining. I'm going back to bed for a few hours. See you all later
Night Pappou
bye sprite - I'm turning in soon so may not see you tomorrow
Sleep well, jilli *hug*
have a good breakfast, sprite - hope you're not on a di4/5!
nite pappou
I should be, but I am a bad Di6/21 ;)
ok gnight all, 50 left and i'm done for tonight
night roc!
nite roc
Great going, Roc! Night :)
night, roc!
just looking for ce6 and then to bed, I promise
For sure, jilli ;)
(that was a clue)
thanks sprite!
oh! hmmm...
hihihi
urf this site is *impossible* since the server shift! just a general complaint, on to happiness now!
umm...i dont get it
argh i hate this
lol
True Ata!
me either ramiz
I am so glad the needle holders make their appearance again, lol.
still waiting in vain for ywis though ...
thanks sprite, i always forget the alt spelling!
wow!
morning babblers, 414 is this a record??
Ywis! Ywis hasn't been there for a long time. Hey lynxxx!Quite a grid, right? No, no record, not at all. But rewarding! Hi seano.
I'm hung up on that Dick Francis book title "Dead Cert" and can't get beyond it
Sorta plural, jilli.
get *longer* than it, jilli!
oh heavens! Thanks, sprite and here I go - *poof*
Night jilli :)
Beautiful yiddish words again: Dr7/36 and 6/24, two alt. spellings for A toy similar to a spinning top used in games of chance played by children and adults at Hanukkah.
thanks, sprite!
um...some of us don't speak yiddish
I don't speak yiddish, but I am definitely learning some of the words from this game!
so the 6/24 and 7/36 are similar? i have the 7/36, but am clueless on the other
Just leave out a vowel, olivirgin.
thanks!!!
and like you, i'm learning some yiddish
got them...thank sprite
yw :)
so how come the grid takes yiddish words but not say french or afrikaans
Aha... that oceanic growth Se7/48 has a an equine nephew Ho9/90! Sometimes it does, ramix. The enable dictionary decides what is valid and what not, and the enable dictionary is far beyond nuts.
ooooo so it does!
Such a rewarding grid today :D
tis if you can get it to work properly *growls at site*
sure, we'll call it "rewarding" :)
Sprite you are magic. Thnx
i'm at exactly half
thanks sprite! i've never heard of the ho 9/90 before
hi ang!
so am i fran! lol
The worse thing is I have. Hi Fran
One of the worst things that can happen to babble... that the site won't keep up with you entering words. I completely sympathize with you, Ata! WTG Fran!
And olivirgin too :)
i imagine i won't get much further. my vocabulary isn't as advanced as i'd like it to be. hopefully babble will help with that. lol
when i that happens i start writing them down
and wait until its better
Babble will, olivirgin! You can't imagine the load of words I learned from this game. Most of them completely useless in common conversation of course. Ywis!
I hate it cos you think you've entered them, so you never bother to think of them again ...
That's exactly the problem, Ata. It is a problem with finishing, because you have to reenter words that you have thrown from memory already.
yes! its horrid!
i'm always amazed at the really "duh" ones that i don't get at first. such common words sitting in front of my face, and i just don't get them lol
Hmz... somehow I get the feeling that one would never say 'thrown from memory'. Deleted? Erased?
That too, olivirgin! And that doesn't get better, at least not with me, lol.
erased sounds good
Okay, thanks. Will learn proper english some day. Promise ;)
*giggles*
you know, i'm so used to seeing you guys give clues in conversation, that i start reading waaaaay into things that don't mean anything lol
LOL! No clues intended in the last few entries, oli!
lol i figured that out finally lol
Here comes a clue: that Dr7/36 toy rhymes with a Se6/21.
thanks!
Totally NOT related, but just as much fun, lol. It means a large beer mug with a capacity of one liter (1.1 quarts) and often having a hinged lid.
hmm...still dont get it. i guess i'll have to google it
Let me think... for the Dr7... start with "lost all liquid". Then invert vowels. Then add first two letters of 'basic schooling'.
okay, any clues for both o? i have 1/2 and 4/7
ah...got it!!! thanks sprite
and i keep staring and staring hoping for something to jump out
Did you all get the wet sounding Wa9/90? Important point of division or transition between two phases, conditions, etc. (Could very well be I am the only one this late in finding it, but thought I'd share nontheless.)
yes i did sprite. i just need one more 9 letter, but i dont know which...and i really really dont want to look at the clues
TY sprite for wa & dr words
it might be a sw9 i think
414... oh well, it's not as if I had anything else to do today...
For Os I have: 2x smelly 3x sound related words 2x booklet(s) containing short and abbreviated directions for the contents of the office and Mass of each day in the year alloy containing copper, tin, etc., used to imitate gold and things found in the earth.
Hi there sherb!
hi sprite :)
I don't have a Sw9 so far, sorry, can't help there.
there's no sw9
I am still one 9 short, I have Di90, Es60, Ho90 and Wa90
re9/60
Thanks Roc :)
ah..its the es 90 one
Found it! I had the shorter forms already *hangs head in shame*
ramix, part of the Re9 is in the Es9.
night all. my brain is officially asleep. lol
Night oli!
Did you get the Es9, ramix?
good morning everybody:)
Hi jean :)
awwww my kitten's come to help!
With a smart kitten like that, you don't need a monkey :)
I LOVE your haiku, btw :)
hopefully not! shes very fond of walking randomly over my keyboard - very useful for big grids!
no i didnt sprite
Probably the best way to find some of the more obscure babble words!
ramix: Re9 and Es9 are almost the same.
um...yeah now i found it! thanks
gosh, I'm being stupid today! come back kitty! I can't see these es9 and re9!
Re9: what you do when you're in a fight and see you are overpowered, past tense.
reun-away?
LOL!
Yeah, but in more strategic terms.
that's a very strategic thing to do! :P
Absolutely. But no general would put it that way, hihi.
I can see the newsflash. "We arrived at the scene, saw there was no freaking way we could win this fight, so we ran away."
very Monty Python :)
Wouldn't it be refreshing if that was whawas said, Sprite? (Good holiday?)
*was what was said* for those who speak English.
Yeah, great holiday! And it would, SueM! Wouldn't that be great, just in plain language. Some truth. Would freak the hell out of some people, I think.
We wouldn't believe it - that's the trouble.
Monty Python could build a brilliant scene from that, yes!
well, I'm off to the supermarket before it rains... typical bank holiday! ...see you later, or if not have a good day all... :)
Bye sherb :)
mmmmm chocolate
random aside from mention of supermarkets!
actually, not chocolate. I want stroopwaffles covered in chocolate
Argh, site is weird again. I have no words in my list after Te. Script won't work, not even after a dozen retries. Guess I will log off and on and see if that helps.
stroopwafels... that's a dutch specialty, Ata!
I know! I *adore* them!
Be sure to send me your address some time, I will send you a package of them :)
woot! they are such a treat because we can't get hold of them so easily here, though some shops now do sell them. When we were in Vaals a few weeks ago, we ran straight into a supermarket and bought 3 packets LOL and ate them!
Site is driving me nuts. No words after Ro, after force-refreshes and restarts of FF and logoffs/logons. Now how am I to check my list for forgotten plurals etc?
urf I *know*. its doing the same for me
Okay, I am in IE now and I have the list back. Took a long while though.
woot! finally IE does something useful!
That's a first indeed :)
I will get you stroopwafels from the market then, they are so fresh, just made in front of your eyes. :)
really???? oh *wow*! I've never had fresh ones!
Yes, they make them when you stand at the stall, just wonderful! And if you lay one on your cup of tea for a bit and eat them then, you will be close to the fresh experience ;)
now I'm drooling!
*when = while
LOL!
hi again!
The site IS bad today. Could it be because of the very long list? Welcome back, Fran :)
off for now bbl have a good day everybody:)
bye jean!
Bye jean!
i haven't had any problems, but that could be sprite
ooooh Sprite- you'll like this (I hope!) - http://tinyurl.com/m4yb5 - very much work-in-progress!
Good Lord...414 words? Why do I continue to punish myself? Addicted...rolling up the sleeves and starting this bad boy at 2:30am
Found a strange biblical St6/21 - 7/32. S + T4/5 + vowel (and plural)
wassup, it is a great grid! Very rewarding. Not too many unwords. And lost of pretty ones!
good to hear Sprite, thanks. :)
which t4/5 sprite?
Oh yes, Ata! Powerful image! God, he is so lovely.
ramix: ta4/5. A virtue I do not possess.
got them..ty
what strange words! thanks sprite!
I'm aimi o do 265
that was the kitten!
LOL! Smart kitten, got the message across!
I'm aiming to do 2 pics of Joscelin - one all priest-y and Casseline-y and grey (this one), and then one more soldier-y
so that would be the a*** of a saint ?! thanks sprite
I just had a sudden need to draw him
Lol lynxxx, I am afraid so. Wow Ata, great! Looking forward to the results of that. I just love that man.
so do I ... he's just perfect. Mad, but perfect
Mad, therefore perfect ;)
sherb is almost in the grid today!
Argh, down to 15 and absolutely stuck. I need a break. Back in a little bit :)
later sprite!
bye sprite!!
and I am just too embarassed to say what I am! but like Sprite I need a break - tomorrow - bye
bye lynxxx!
is 414 words the largest babble yet?
nope
i don't think so linda, but it's the largest since i started
atalante - so what is the largest?
largest one I've seen was in the 500's.
500+ I seem to remember
I remember a 600+ grid, I think.
well you stayed away a long time LOL!
Am still staying away, lol. Doing other things, not looking for words. But the chat is just as addictive.
there, changed my icon. much better than the dinty moore cans...
Wow, that's pretty, wassup!
414 is big but not *massive*
Thanks, it's a label from a local brewery.
Good Morning All, glad I got up early today, largest grid in a long time.
Am not looking for words. Am not looking for words.
hi peri!
Hi periwinkle :)
Am giving it a rest... Ah, who am I kidding...
Sprite=no will power
Only too true :(
me neither. it's going on 3am here and i'm still up.
okie it's almost 3am here. i've got 45 to go. i'll finished tomorrow. i'm beat
night ramix!
night ramix
night ramix!
Night ramix!
nite all
why WHY isn't strewth allowed!
Okay, I have all the Ss and Ts. Checking for forgotten singulars, plurals, verb forms etc is always paying of :)
Oooohhh, beautiful word, Ata :)
its pure Aussie! should be allowed!
* +f somewhere
What does it mean? That which is strewn?
its a mild swear word type thing. but very mild. like gosh or golly
Oh yes, it has a nice ring for that :)
Could easily be misconstrewth though ;) (Sorry, couldn't control that urge)
I'm actually really quite surprised that's not allowed. bad enable!
ok, i'm at 115, not a bad start. See you guys tomorrow.
theres no aussie slang here :(
Nice going, wassup! Sleep well.
night wassup!
I am having trouble with a couple of Cs :(
i only have 8 out of 22 sprite, i'm pretty sure you have what i have!
have you got cr6/33, sprite? that's my only slightly odd one so far
thanks atalante!
Atalante may I please have a clue for that cr6/33
Yes, I have that one. The one that sounds like very mean.
peri, rhymes with goodbye cr*** world
its an mean type of yarn
thanks Fran and Ata
LOL, nice clue. Wish they were 4s, but I have no 4s left to find. Makes monkeying harder.
yw peri
Does anyone have all the 8s?
there's a weird cr6/21 too
I have a cr6/21
lol, i only have 1!
I think I have that one too, peri and Ata. The one that is almost John CL....
I only have one 8 and no 9's and no 10
yup, that's the one
I am still missing one 8, could be a C.
I've got 19/22 Cs, and no 8s out of that lot
cr 8/55 past tense of cr 6/24
instantly proved wrong!
dippnall, what is the cr6/24 after?
Oh well, scottish again. I love the sound of it, but it always does me in with babble. For those interested: it is a verbe and it means to oil. We are more acquinted with the Gr-variety.
cr 6/21
Thanks Dippnall!
yw
oh yes, nice word
Now, one more C, one more T. *sigh*
Dippnall, may I please have a clue for that cr6/24
periwinkle, try to make the famous movie with John Travolta and Olivia NJ sound very scottish.
cr 6/21 - change last letter to 8th letter
got it! thanks sprite!
still working on it but have not found it yet
woot! got all the Cs :)
WTG Ata :)
I know the movie you are referring to sprite but scottish words are hard for me to find
For me too, peri. Perhaps Dippnall's clue is more clear.
you must be missing something fairly obvious, sprite, in the Cs. check all your plurals and past tenses!
Found it, Ata. Forgotten plural, as usual. Now for that T (starts checking list)
finally found it, thanks sprite and Dippnall
May I have a clue for the 10 please
peri, compound word, dull as .... plural
it's a di 10 peri
yw di 10/112
As non-native speaker I can confess without shame that I always thought the Di10 was spelled with -tch- :)
thats even duller ...
Ah, so it exists? That's a relief!
lol!
For those interested in finding the meaning of scottish words, this is a nice site: http://www.ullans.com/ScotsDicti onary.html
but not as dull as dike***** - is that the Dutch version ;)
the clues for the di10 are not helping me
NM the clues just clicked, found it
great!
cool peri
it was your clue, Fran that did it
cool peri
I also got a 9 out of that clue, may I have clues for the other 9 please
lol Ata, should be. We put fingers in the dike when that happens, though...
peri, i only have one other 9
could you give me a clue for that one please Fran
There are almost identical Re9 and Es9.
it's ho9/90, another compound word, equine plant
And a very wet Wa90 (division)
thanks so much Fran
got the wa9, thanks sprite!
can't find that wa9 sprite even with your clue
wa9 - 9pm in the evening on TV!
your clue is not helping me Ata, but thanks
Okay, I am missing a T6. I have: Ta30, Te21, Te18 x 5, Th36, Th33, Ti21 x 2, Tw30. Does anyone know what I am missing?
peri, another compound word, it means the area drained by a river, liquid + small building
It is a compound, peri. Wet stuff + something to store stuff in.
the point where swearing/nudity/whatever is allowed on TV afterwards
sprite I just found it before I saw your clue, thanks
thakns Fran too
Three minds thinking as one :)
may I please have clues for the re9 and es9
may I please have clues for the re9 and es9
Re9: what you do when you are in a fight and see your are overpowered and outnumbered... past tense. Es9: almost identical.
Anyone on my T6 question? Please?
i'm not going to be much help sprite, i have about half of those and none that you don't have.
thanks sprite got the re9 right away with your great clue, still working on the es9
Exactly the same ending, peri :)
sorry sprite, I have the same as you ...
never heard of the es7 that leads to the es9, thanks sprite
hi everyone, what a grid! sprite, I've only just started so won't be of any help for a loooooong time, LOL
thanks sprite!
Lol Pappou, have fun, it is a great grid! Fireworks! Found the last one, it is Tr6/18, what I give my kids if they have been good.
which t on the grid does it start with sprite?
yay, sprite and guess what? I had that word. LOL
have you got te + re4/4?
a plural!! good job sprite!!
lol ty for that sprite!
It was, as usual, a forgotten plural... *sits down to write 1000 times "I will check for forgotten plurals, singulars, verb forms and so on every time I cannot find a word"*
See Pappou? You could have helped me! :)
I picked up all the 9s and the 10 from the awesome clues you all gave peri, ty
if i wasn't missing so many i could have helped too sprite, i've had that one for a while!!
Is this some kind of joke??? I don't think I'd better start this grid as I DO have housework, grocery shopping and general living to do today.
I did not list a single Tr, so you could have known, LOL! But thanks anyway, chatting takes my mind of obsessive searching and sometimes helps me find words as a result, lol.
Ah chiley, and missing out on this brilliant grid? It is too much fun to let pass :)
hi cliley, good thing it's going to be a rainy day here
that's true sprite, should have checked closer, i saw all those THs i was missing and blanked out!
Nah, not meant as complaint, you are all very helpful all the time :) Just teasing.
:-)
A wooting 7271 points today. That's impressive, lol.
wow!
wow!
Some high scoring letters in a big grid, that makes for high points totals indeed :)
how can oreo not be a word! isn't it in it's own food group?
It is, Fran! Enable can be such a miser.
:-)
is there something wrong with the ratings page? I don't play for the rankings, but it's strange that I haven't missed a grid in weeks and yet my number went down instead of up
they are just generally odd, Ted
I have this beautiful palindrome, but it is dutch... "Nelli plaatst op 'n parterretrap 'n pot staalpillen" No idea, Pappou. Did you finish them all?
hello
sprite, I can
hi infernal
sprite, I can't remember, but I think I finished all but one
oh my goodness this is huge, hello back fran
sprite, what does it mean?
Not finishing one can bring your ranking down, I believe.
I have to look up a few words, Fran, back in a bit.
not finishing one brings it down a lot!
Oh, I know that, but they usually begin to climb again. Anyway, not a big deal, I was just wondering
oh i didn't know that
it's one of the mysteries of babble pappou!
is there any suggestions on where to start with this grid?
start from the very beginning, a very good place to start, Sorry, I couldn't resist. LOL
pick a word infernal! :-)
I've got the Sound of Music on my mind
Sound of Music!
The palindrome translates as: "Nelli puts a bottle of iron pills on a ground floor staircase"
sounds better in dutch!
yep i think ill start with the qu as that erks me followed by the re's. Sprite what does that mean?
"If you play Babble, you begin with A B C"
Hi lady!
hello sprite
and if you play sudoku you start with 123, LOL
obviously the words were chosen more for the letters than their meaning
i hate the qus so i think ill get rid of them first
could I have a clue for the at7
i usually start with the qus because i like them
Very true, Fran, it is not a very normal sentence. Why on earth would the girl put a bottle of that stuff on those stairs, right? Anyway, it is a nice one in Dutch ;)
Pappou: past tense of put in your mouth + people who don't tell the truth.
my eye keeps going to that spot thats why i start there.
perhaps she was a spy, and the bottle contained secret instructions that she was leaving for her unknown contact
ty
PappouTed - I'm having problems with the rankings page and have been for about a month now. Despite finishing every grid for a month I was always one short. I'm always a day late in having the score added to the total - what I scored yesterday won't be added until tomorrow. Strangley enough I'm not bothered about the figures but I looked at them out of interest to fill in a few minutes before the flip one morning and now that I know they're wrong they annoy me.
LOL Ata!
there you go atalante, that makes sense to me
ro-6-18 please
sue someone else was having a similar problem this morning but i cant remember who, my morning it was about 10 or 11am sat
There are 3 of them, sha.
thanks, sue, I'm not bothered by it either, but was curious because one day I finished it for example and my ranking went down.
its one of the last 2 sprite
my eyes are starting to droop, going to do QP and then go to sleep.
Good night all!
night fran!
One is a schedule, sha. The other one is plural of the Ro5.10. Flowery price thing.
I've done that several times PappouTed. I emailed DrG but nothing has been done. It a good job I only play for the fun!
just found a fantastic photo on deviantArt: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37 840641/
thanx sprite couldnt see it for looking
In full speed! Great one, Ata.
yw sha, I know that feeling :)
nite fran
Sleep well, Fran!
Have excatly half of the words, not bad for a first run, bbl
later per
opps peri
any one got a spare fish as i need a fish slap
well, 101 words in less than about 10 minutes - looks like a monster today...
well done amanda im at 12 words only
amanda: only 414 words. You are at one quarter already!
Hi Sprite! You're back - how was the Mosel?
iya sha
Great! Nice woods, nice wineyards, nice wine. Kids had a wonderful time, hubby canoed a lot and loved it. We may even go back next year :)
ohly 414, huh? Do I really want to do this one?
Glad you had a nice time, Sprite
You do, amanda. It is really a lot of fun, very rewarding grid.
i have the 'cheat' list as i call it as this many words id get in a tangle
Hi, all--414 words????? Holy moly, babbleonians!!!!'
hello pam, i said that 2
only it was more r rated
morning, all! 140 words in not much time . . . at least it's a start . . . off for java . . . back in a mo
ata and pappou--didn't i just "see" you? Wow, how time flies..
I was just thinking that, pam!
Pam! You were the one with the country music concert (I couldn't remember). How was it?
lol, amanda!
It was a lot of fun, though a VERY white crowd, which is really weird
And, the tailgating was fun, except our very pregnant friend was hit by a flying tomato....
Oh dear! tomato-induced labor?
LOL--no labor, thankfully, as she is 7.5 weeks out
What is tailgating?
That's good. Guess she's probably an easy target, though
clue please for the ce 6/21
tailgating is when people arrive 4-8 hours early for an event--ususally a football game or concert--and grill, and drink and hang out, sprite
don't have it, herinfern
got it and that sounds fun pam apart from the tomato
pam that tailgating bit sounds like daytona 500 in field
herinfern - if I recall correctly, its legal or archaic (or legal archaic?) for 'sure, definite'
yeah, the tomato was not the best, but then, no one was hurt!
Sprite - the word 'tailgating' comes from the picnickers having pick-up trucks, putting down the tailgate and sitting/eating/drinking from there
ok, I'm off to try and get some sleep for a bit. 283 words down! bbl!
cya, ata!!!!
see ya Ata!
amanda i got it. Its shortened latin and im crap at latin, thats very interesting about 'tailgating' as here it means to sit on some ones butt when driving
nite ata
(same here, tailgating that is)
it means that too - all in the context
ahh context as soon as pam said tailgaiting i thought acting silly on the highway and slowing traffic in a safe way
guess that could be fun too
fun to do at lights if someone has raced you to the lights only for you to pass them then be in front of them and take of slow so they cant get through. I don't drive and my girl pal did it once when we were cut of and her lane ended and we got in front
Pam how long was your concert, whats the details of what you do? Interested hence asking?
lol, amanada--didnt want to ramble on...but, since you asked...
A duo opened at 7:15 or so, forget their names
Then, at 8 or so, Joe Nichols (of "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" fame came on. He was very good live and if you are into guys, a hottie!!!
Thanks for the explanation :)
TobyToby Keith went on from 9-11. Lots of booms and bangs interspersed with come great singing. Not too much of his all hail the red, white, and blue crap so I didn't have to clamp down my tongue too much
brb must take pie out of the oven and put on the heater
It was a lot of fun. My partner and I went with three friends, and had a blast.
Well, I'm glad there was no patriotism-overdose and you were able to enjoy the music and the fun!
thanks, amanda
good morning all - wow - big grid!
sound like oyu had fun pam hows the hearing today? yes wolvie this is large but amanda blitzs a bit to start with

im seeing dresden dolls soon, looking forward to it. Glad it wasn't too noisy

Hi, Wolvie!

I'm already dreading the r's and d's. AND I have company for the weekend, which means I won't be able to sit and work on it....
I hear you- I have some company/cooking plans myself, so I'm not sure how long I can play

Hi, nrkii!
Hi CiociaJudy, I have done a 450 I think, but a while ago now, maybe last year
i have di9;es9;ho9;wa9. what am i missing please?
10 is plural of the di9 matty
Hi aloy and snowyowl.

just got the di 9 and 10--fun words!
re9 temple
ty nrk
cr6,24 please
it builds off the re7/28
Cool - that's the 10 - just one nine.
bubba, having trouble cluing it...
OK - it's the re9 I need, it seems.
I'll monkey it for a while
cr 6/24 sounds like the nice line down the front of trousers, but said by George W Bush
es9?
sorry, bubba, don't have that cr
matty, re9 is a past tense
I'm back, I was here in the wee hours LOL
es 9 is like the re 9

help with de7/48 and de8/65 please
de plus wa 5/18 and then plural
how do you know which words you are looking for peri?
There is a list that I check, lickety's clues - at the bottom left of the screen, don't know if non-pro players have access to it though
got de7.48
mat, if you right click on the link at the bottom of the page that is Lickety's List, and open it in a separate browser, you can use that for clues
http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues.html
go to that page mat616

I can't type right, nrkii, drop the vowel on the music and make that word plural

thanks matty, extra large grid today.
seems that way doesnt it
Massive grid. Makes for a vibrant chat log, though.
stid is in the grid
PSA for the day - babblers, make sure you're registered to vote and then do it! esp. if you're in the US - we've got shamefully low turnout
if only it we** a word
first thing I did when I moved to NC, fiz
yes, stid is there, and I am almost there...but with 414 words there,we sure don't need to find more
good work wolvie = you get a gold star for civic participation

clue for et 5/18 please?
chj, don't forget today's saturday, ie, douglas' race day
since you sucked me into babble, ive totally ignored douglases blog and the set puzzle
pinecone, to put the back of your footwear on again
i cant do it all
awww, I think douglas misses you
bubba - ignore the I before e rule, then look for the farmer in the ***l
et + the noise you make when having fun
lol, set puzzle takes 2 minutes!
and ive gotten addicted to other games as welll
thanks, how could i have forgotten that word, pinecone?
well, I won't abandon douglas... I know how it feels to wait for comments on your blog
Fiz, thanks
i know and it used to be the first thing id do in the morning...but now the first thing i do is go thru the grid alphabetically
yw bubba. drop the last vowel for a dr6 alternate spelling
Pinecone - what noise do YOU make when you're having fun - surely it depends on what kind of fun you're having :D Seriously though, dunno what you mean!
your right, i should read his and yours everyday...ill try
I don't do babble till I've done quote puzzler games and set, and left my note for douglas
chj aren't you retired? what' s your excuse?
because I know babble will suck my life away once I'm in it
thanks nrkii...got the re word
matty - maybe a sound when you're having fun going to the bathroom? #1 of course
gotta get out of the house....and do the times crossword over at starbucks
sorry chj, don't really mean to make you feel guilty :)
et + tiny, matty
LOL!!!

Does anyone have any clues for the second o?
i dont...but want to help you guys out...i know its important to you
eek, i should've gotten up earlier! this puzzle will take me a looong time.

*heaps guilt on chj* i've got no compunction about it - goes with the dr6 or dr7 nicely
fiz, lol
19 to go...
ok gotta get back to the kitchen cleaning. bbl.
go, nan, go!
smithchick, do you mean the O in the second row?
this is fun
Yes, nrkii...
Should have made that more clear.
yes liz, sort of like sticking needles in one's eyes
curt, if you're still cluing, please help me fin dthe ha4 and ha5 after the opp of love and before the berries
smith, both start with an expression of surprise and awe
is it the one you would row a boat with
I'm trying to finish my vowels. I've got two o's and two a's.
like when you're watching fireworks
allstar, that comes from the top O
le 7/8 combo clue please?
Gotcha...Thanks nrkii!
orsee
oops
sorry I used the second one
I probably require the fish for that one.
hetty, switch last two letters of the dislike one
how many today?
414
414
ugh only 272 left...
allstar, the words always start from the highest and furthest left letter they can (highest takes precedence over left)
cheers all :)
that can help you find words sometimes
shed
sozz
Hi marso :)
only been doing this for the summer so still not "up" on all the rules
hi long time no see :)
back! hi again!
does anyone have the le 7/8 combo? If so may I have a clue?
the two O words from the second O have to start with OE, OS, OO, or have to work through the top O to something only the top O can touch...
76 to go... I'm trying to get down to fifty before I break out the list.
Hi TO!
or tips
nrkii, bless you, but I can't make your clue work for any of my 5 dislike words
hi TO!
*looks at smithin total awe*
14 left... smith, you're good.. I broke out the list at about 90
hi ch!
I have 196 words- I'd like to find at least 4 more before breaking out the list. Might get lunch soon, though.
i'd rather break a nail
hetty, take the root dislike word, and switch the order of the last two letters
Are you talking the de dislike word, or the ha?
hi ren!
I have 10 left and am trying to finish in the next 15 minutes because I have to leave ! Clue for we6/33 or that le7/8 combo appreciated!
Well, hubby isn't home right now so I have nothing to do but veg out in front of babble. And fabulous clues from everyone help a lot!
Yes, done that--that's ha4 and it precedes the one can't find
hey t-owl
ch1212, le word is l + m****** burger burger m***** (from santa claus movie)
Le - kind of like the cheese - or the English county...
how dumb am i?
I will tell you
i did not know that the states on the bottom were the exact
hello there!
letters of the words and how many you can make from each tile until now
great clue nrkii! I love that movie
chic a boom
mat, the tile stats? yeah, it took me a couple times to figure that out too

I typed letters
die m******singer

i'm still laughing
LOL, TO!
ch1212, we 6 33 = past tense of we 4 before it
chic...youre still the only one who got otto
Hiya, Temple and Nrkii and smithchick
Was anybody here for the flip this morning? Any errors? Problems?
that makes it easier I think now
Hi Doc - how's you?!
hey, Dr_G!
not for me dr god
ANGELA!, you there?
Dr God, I wasn't here for the flip, but something is strange this afternoon
ren lives in a high class neighborhood.....they have ditches for the drunks so they dont clutter up the sidewalk
hahahaha chj! we can practice search and rescue
anyone else not braving this grid? i feel like a chicken!
when it loads it tells me there is something taking too much time (I assume it's the 414 words!) and it wants to stop loading -- took a couple tries to get it working
thank god you didnt have to perform mouth to mouth on him
make sure you get that Asian tree
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
feather, you ARE a chicken
hey feather! wish i hadn't, truly
yup, I keep getting "script error" messages, Dr. G.. says that unless I abort the script, I might not be able to continue.. ugh, so I have a partial list ..
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
lol, thanks nrkii!!!
Hah! That's my 200 - gonna go to the loo and have some lunch - then I can go to the list...
Dr_G -- I've had trouble loading today -- I get a message box that says a 'script' is trying to load and is clogging up things, so either partial list or I hit 'no' and let it load --- takes along time
Is the script error something new in the past day or two?
nrkiii...i get that message everytime i load babble
aloy, the second time I got that message, I ignored it and it's working okay now
thanks for the we nrkii :)
feather, it took me 2 hours last night to get 300+ words
yes, it is on Internet Ex... I get those messages a lot on Firefox
I had it about 3 days ago and couldnt get in till yesterday
the last 100 have been slower, but overall not too bad
Dr_G - yes, I've never seen it before.
I've never seen it before
hmm, is that good or bad?
Weird
dr. god....ive been getting that message ever since ive been babbling....about 5 weeks
no, sorry, weird is not in the grid today
yes, it is we**d
yeah, my word list never loads completely now. get some html instead of what's coded there
Today was the first time that I got it, but I've got my whole list.
and when i get it i just click continue...sometimes it comes back on 5 or six times before the word list and chat box load
Dr_God - I've been getting the unreponsive script message every since the site changed from it's old, simpler form - ages, in other words.
To get rid of the error on Firefox, type "about:config" into the address field and then change the dom.max_script_run_time setting to 20.
same here..had it forever on firefox...at busy times, I get it and have to keep hitting continue....but it is usually when there are loads of people on
buts its inconsistent...sometimes it loads without the message
Hey Jacula and Dorens!
hey smith
Dr G I was here for the flip and had no error problems
Hi Jacs :)
{{{{{FAERIE}}}}}!!!!
hi dorens! hi jacs!
TY so much, Dr. G... I will go switch to Firefox so I can complete the puzzle.. (-:
Thanks Dr_G. I'll try that.
{{{{Smith}}}} How are you ?
Well, it appears the changes I made to the site in the past couple days have calmed the server down considerably, but it also seems more people are getting the script error when loading the main page. Hmmm...
Working fine here on Firefox on a Mac
Hi everyone. Can't stop long... dinner to prepare and all that...
hey, jac!
I'm great, how about you?
Dr G, just today, not yesterday for me
i actually have gotten it less (firefox/mac)
I figured it was because the grid is so big today
I always use Firefox and love it. Especially the "all in one sidebar" so you can see the grid and Licketys list at the same time
hi Jac!
nrkii- That probably has something to do with it.
Well, I got the error message only when I refreshed to update my icon. The good news is I haven't had to refresh for any problems.
ok, off to work on word builder some more. later!
UH! 414 words? Dr_God -- what were you thinking? ;-)
Bye feather!
Hey stid!
I love big grids on weekends.
hi all!
welcome, stid, to insanity
after downloading firefox download the all in one sidebar then go to licketys open it and tell it to open current page in sidebar then close that and open babble then reopen the side bar I LOVE IT
I Stid
howdy, stid!
Dr. G... do I have to prefix the "about:config" in the address bar?
me too smith, but this is a bit much
Aloyisius- Just type about:config
You'll get a list of settings you can change
ok, will do. Thanks again.
hi stid!
Well, I was hoping to have other things to do, but find I need to spend most of the rest of the day -- resting. So I guess this will be a good challenge.
I just don't know how to fix it in Explorer other than to recommend that you switch to Firefox. ;)
faeriekae, how do yo get licketys list in the sidebar?
7 to go...
it
{{{nrk}}} I was so tempted to crop that picture you took of the butterflies on the apple and use that for my icon...
go nrk go!
it's actually kind of nice grid, once you decide to devote half your waking hours to it
Yps read at 12:27 post
oh stid, feel free!
never mind I saw your answer thanks
ok
I'm glad you saw it, I thought of you when I posted it because it seemed like something you'd like
im too stupid for this stuff...i have no idea what a sidebar is faer...please illuminaate
and for the sidebar there is a little wheel "next to Source Code" and it will load Licketys for you each time you use it if you click to remember last opened site
yep. I am pretty easy to figure out, aren't I?
and dr. god i dont know what you mean about typing about:config in the address ...where...how?
chj, I think your icon is before my time (and I am not that young...)
chj did you ever say what show the cion is from?
Dr_God, I changed to 20 but it's still happening. Is it possible to use a higher number?
well, I am going to disappear in the grid for a bit. see you later...
life if riley
I think in Anglesongs resouce page she goes alittle more indepth about useing the sidebar. That is how I learned about it
change it to 120 Judy - that's what mine's at!
stid: trust me. in 10-15 years you'll realize how young you aare now
cj...what the hecks he talking about
well i guessed that! *hands on hips*
Thanks Atlante.
how did you change to 20? im lost
ok diving back into grid or I'm never going to finish I have a family get together to go to a little later this evening so *splash*
3 to go...
IM me chj.

The grid is extremely hard listless, but quite doable using a list.
t + in shock, temple
then build from there
mmmm. what time should we be there, Ata? could we bring something for dessert? cobbler mayhaps?
Lists are the ONLY way to fly, riemann! LOL
I am being serenaded by trumpet music at the moment...
how do you get lists?
I guess about an hour and a half, so that it has a nice long time to cook and evolve! And cobbler sounds perfect!
mat, there are two lists: Lickety's List has a direct link at the bottom of this page. BJ's list is at Babbler's Anonymous, "General" section, "stats"
Hi, Stid. Awesome icon. *not listening to trumpet music; Scrubbing the frig between Babbling* I think I need to put something on the stereo. lol
thanks
does anyone have those three ta words? *pleading**
TO, just now entering words in list. sorry I don't know yet what I have!
well, I did as Dr. G. suggested and tried to fix the script error, but I still have problems. Thanks to the lists, I made some guesses and FIREWORKS... am really pooped!
TO, Dorens clued one - t + in shock
whoo hoo aloy!
t + pro, and plural
woohoo Aloy! *doin' the victory dance for Aloy*
I would stick around and clue, but my list is only partial.. so frustrating.. see y'all ..
YAY Aloyisius!
TO - look at the points - you need to use a high scoring letter...
I have all the ta words - which ones did you need?
cj: i have that one
Bye Aloy!
change the last consonant to another consonant and hen plural, TO
TO first one rhymes with pet feet
.. ty, and good luck to all you megaBabblers today! (-:

Ok, TO - all three of those are related. T + to overwhelm or impress - past tense, person who does this, and people who do this.

Could someone please clue me for the first re5/12?

stid - te6/18 means slender and smooth, with a circular transverse section...
thanks sherb
re5/12 - respond to something...
first re5/12: to respond to something
at the bottom of the page, jean, go to lickety's or babblers anonymous, general, then stats
tyvm dogluver
re 5/12 might refer to a thespian that takes a role again?
Gotcha. Thanks, gwen
no prob
hmm...now that te is bugging me...the slender and smooth one
you could google it...
me too ramix
okay, I have all the words from the bottom through the top of the T words. Taking a break and back later to finish. thanks for all the help!

Hi Charm
hi charm!

Hi Wolvie, Mom....
i'm not done with e's, bean, but i have two ew 4/8 that only have a different last letter
ew4/8 = a water pitcher.
and pl.
nm....duh...i swear sometimes my head is up my butt
Are you finished Wolvie?

I'll trade ya -- that's half what I need!
I just returned from errands and still have 103 to go
hey - i still don't know if I'll finish. ;-)

Hurrah Inge!
leis
that's a crazy palindrome cat, unea!
so sorry
:-D
thanks, Wolvie
reading the chat and not paying attention to the cursor
:(
'sok mom we all do it
But when your very name is a palindrome, today you can do no wrong, mom.
yw charm for whatever. ;-)
oh vicuna brings up a good point
peri, I'm trying to think of a clue for you
peri - use Mom's word
ty wolvie too - for the le's
we could say it sounds like a city, PT - not sure if it's spelled exactly like that
good clue Wolvie :)
Think English cheese or county, Wolvie. Or a varient spelling for the square in London...
thanks to you, Mom. ;-)
peri = the le4/4 + eas*** bunny
remember rob schneider's character from snl - the "making copies" guy? it's probably how he would refer to the flower necklaces from hawaii
good clue charm
we were going the same way matty - and to think I forgot about the cheese - whew!
at7.28 hint pls
Crikey. A million or so HEs to get. *sigh*
at7/28 - artists' workshop
vicuna i'm impressed you still have your 7th grade drawing
thanks for the help but I found the le7 and le8 with the help of a-z
at7 = Fr. word, usu. in ref. to haute couture.
I come from a long line of pack rats, LeslieAnn!
haha, literally
ty vicuna & charm
No, no, it's NOT a self-portrait! :)
cant believe this, right after my fireworks "I fell off the grid" and couldnt get bakc on til now, with several tries
oh no, i meant you packed that rat ;)
are you sure you didn't fall of your chair with excitement, inge?
Hi folks! Is anyone else having problems with the babble site?
time to start supper, I'll be back later ~ maybe with better luck
bye Mom
SURE that's what you meant. I know you're just calling me a rat. Sniff sniff. But at least I live on no evil star!
see you later mom
It has worked fine for me Dippnall
Yes I am, is taking waaaaay to long for the chatlog and word list to download
Bye, mom.
seems to work better in ie
i'm not calling you a rat vicuna! i don't even think you live on an evil star, so there
evilolive should be here today, would fit in perfectly
:)
that is possible too, it was such an uphill event today
yes, Dippnall I couldn
t get back on
Can't get it to respond on IE and on firefox hardly any of my words appear! Oh dear!
Condolances, Dippnall.
can someone clue me for ha 6,33 pleaseeeee
ha6/33 = one who does the ha5/20 before it.
ha6/33 - a heady rope for mooring a boat
i don't have the 5,20 either
I mean "heavy"
do you have the ha 4/9 just before it?
yes
morning all
Onto the REs. I HATE re words.
hey klaurel
add the second vowel to the ha 4/9, then a consonant, bean
okay - both the 5/20 and the 6/33 build off of that. :-) sortof an extra plural and then one who does the 4/9
I ordered my new laptop. :D
EVENING kl. :-)
hi everybody!
Hello, klaurel.
Hello, FranMag.
holy moly -- I've been playing off and on for a few years, and I have *never* seen a puzzle this big
hey fra
or fran. whatever
got it!!! thanks leslie
hi LA! hi Vicuna!
Hi Fran Mag, did you finish already?
i have 150 left, just back on
371 left. :) But I got a new laptop, so I happy
Call for help if you need it
Hi, klaurel, Fran (sorry for the delay, but my computer's balking at going on today....)
hi fran
i'm definitely getting the list now.
hi wolvie!
ok so i caved in and went to the list...anyone have a clue for the cr8 please?
Hi, Fran, Charm, Inge, Klaurel, Wolvie, etc. Back for a few while the frig shelves are drying.
i have the list, and i still only have 185 words
hey, judy!
hi charm! hi judy!!
wh4/10 please, HI Fran, CJ et al
Hi, Une! Sorry I missed you in the chat list.
past tense of cr6/24
hi peri, hi une!
hey, fran!
wh + **es of March
dont have cr 6/24 apparently
Interesting icon Une!
cr8 - did needlework
NM found it
cr 6/24 - cr + double vowel + what the librarian says for quiet
The cr6, a kind of embroidery, sounds like "don't be cr--- to a heart that's true"
good grief, now my word list ends with st 7/28, good thing I finished at 3;04 so my score is written in stone
cr6/24 sounds like what a tailor with no teeth puts in the front of your pants.
fran, LOL!!!
2nd wh5/10 and wh7/52 please
oops, i said a word!
wow fran that is quite a clue
Oh, man, I just noticed that it didn't take my past tense embroidered! I just assumed it was on the list! Sorry!
*slaps Fran's hand*
ROFL
I have surpassed my goal of 250 and am up to 324, maybe I will even finish
fran, like it makes a difference with 414 words! :-)
love the clue, tho fran!
inge - I'm glad you said that....it says I have 56 words - and only need to get 99 more!
thanks. got it
thanks all!
clues for at 7 & 8 pls
judy, artist's studio
french artists studio

CJ- artists studio and it plural, (French words)
i have to go input words into lickety and the chat has to be closed or i'll type in the wrong place.
Hi stidmama, are you done?
hi stid! bye stid!
I tried to get up, but couldn't. Have to wait for Tom to get home and lift me. So I have 110 left and want to finish early!
wh 5 is a card game like bridge without bidding, and 7/52 is past tense
stid, why can't you get up
stid are you okay??
oh, stid.... sorry it's that bad
no, she's got the babble fever fran!
thanks inge
FranMag, can't figure out what the last qu8,55 is, can't finding the correct ending
bubba, superlative
The arthritis is bad again. The dog bumped into me and I didn't sit down and ice my knee right away.
most silent
wh7/48 please
Shoulda known that, ty Fran
thanks inge! (for the wh5/20 and 7/52)
oh no, stid, i'm sorry! i thought you meant you just wanted to finish
hi bubba!
superlative peri
bubba we have the same icon!
peri, most pale
yo! FranMag
thanks Fran and Dorens
Well I DO want to finish, too, but I would also like to be able to walk around (maybe use the W.C.)
any clues for the dr7/35 and 6/24 that follows please
hey, Stid, been doing those double flips again?
You do, but on the screen I see a boy's image?, Do you need to refresh
hannukah toys flosey
those dr wrods are the Jewish childrens toy
dr7/36 = two spellings of hannukah items.
a clue for de 6/65 please?
two diff. endings
sorry dorens, not familiar with Jewish children's toys
shhh inge! I was getting sympathy! LOL
i mean 8/65
how about this for a fish? ET 4/5 please?
nope, you do bubba :) i have straw warts as well
de8/65 = de + H20 and pl.
stid, you should really look into knee replacement while you're young
dr + feather/down + consonant
stid, plural beginning of et*ical
et4/5 - Old English letters that are now spelled th
de 8; has the root of wa 5, then plural
I have one spelling of the toy, clue for the other spelling
okay, going to list, see you guys in a bit
ah...thanks
dewater
It hasn't been this bad in more than 14 years, Fran -- if it keeps up I will definitely have to do something else.
SORRY!!!!
bubba, either add a vowel or take away a vowel
bubba do you have the dr6 or dr7
one omits the the last vowel
stid, i'm so sorry to hear that . . .
((((stid))))
OK - do I need a fish? RE5/20 and 6/33 - before to dampen again, and after the re4/4 meaning To moisten or soak (flax, for example) in order to soften and separate the fibers by partial rotting.
OK - got one - to marry again...
Never mind - got it now!
re6/33 - to fasten metal together again
or4/5 and or5/12 please
stid, am am fascinated by the time period you chose for the story. I used to live in a house that was built in 1444, and the town had been started by Eginhardt, Charlemagne's scribe.
re + w (melt metal, solder)
Thanks (sometime just asking seems to help with the getting, even before you get an answer)
got the toy, weird spelling to me
or4/5 = or + ** re mi and pl.
Well, the time period doesn't coincide with earth chronology, inge...
but I do love history and so I am using what I know to build the world they live in.
not getting the Jewish children's toy clues, any other help with dr7/36, 6/24 please
thanks Charm, never seem to see those words
What was it like to live in such an old place?
thx une, dorens & peri for the clue ages ago. *just had a major computer mess*
ok now, judy?
flosey, try a google search on "hanukkah top" there are two common spelling for the toy.
dr clue: German # for three + NY train, or train in Chicago loop
flosey, google "I made it out of clay" and I bet you'll find it.
*singing to herself*
we kept looking for hidden spaces between the walls where people could have hidden
113 to go... taking a break to go buy dinner. Will be back later
(I think for inge's clue to work, you'd need to stick a consonant in between.)
good idea, vicuna.
see you later drum
OK, 99 left . . . taking a break . . . BBL
yes, that would have been the time frame for people needing to hide, wouldn't it?
later Une!
correct, Vicuna
bye Unea
i clued it at 3:33
50 left...gotta...finish
3rd he4/5 please
I think I'm working again, une. *sure hope so*
Bad day physically, Stid?

go matty go!
the person who will inherit your estate, peri
reil
not what I had hoped for, Judy.
excuse.
Houses were bult sturdy with thick walls, taht kept the interior temps more even, scenically, of course, breathtaking.
hello inge2!
thanks all, got it with google search stid
any idea what is causing the flare-up?
ooooh i got a 9 all by myself
Hello!
thanks CJ, what estate? :-) never seem to see that word
Yes. We think of those times as "primitive" but they knew plenty about how to keep comfortable!
way to go LeslieAnn!
LeslieAnn, you are brilliant!
we have two inge's playing at the same time :)
Wie gehts Inge 2?
Are they compound words, the nines, LeslieAnn?
off to see if I can salvage some of my Saturday... good luck all :)
Doppelgångers!
Considering how rare taht name is in this country, tath is truly amazing
Gibt Inge UND Inge2?
Es geht mir gut, Inge :-)
well i only have one, re 9/60... it is also a past tense
bye Sherb, thanks for all your help!
ja, es geht zwei Inge!
It is amazing, Inge.
whoa, dopplegangers and other languages? there's 414 words, people, my brain's going to explode!
Inges - haben sie voher kennengelernt?
the di 9 and 10 is what you wash you plates and pots in at the sink
(Don't worry, my German is...inventive if not accurate)
any clues for the di 9 & 10? pls
(hums softly to herself, "Inge bells, Inge bells, Inge all the way...")
Oops sorry. I see inge just clued them
lol vicuna
nein, wir haben uns im Chat kennengelernt
those are the 9 and 10 I have, the di
lol Vicuna
Heheh, Vicuna
a clue for the first di7/32 please? not the person who is on a regulated meal plan...please
--At 98 to go I have to break down and beg for clues--I can't seem to finish the se's. I'm looking for the second se6/21; the seventh se4, and 2 se5's
ramix, thanks. your request gave me two words!
2nd se6/21 please?
i have 102 remaining, hetty!
I'm pretty much looking for the same - and I'm working on the ses
wa 9 builds on that same second compound word
So glad you're looking too, charm
di7/32 = di + e5/10 (chemical compound)
se + homonym of lazy se 6/21
thx charm!!!
You people are awesome with the clues.
I'm finding the se's even harder than the re's in this grid
ho 9 is equine animal plus unwanted plants in your garden
lol, Inge, I never heard of that plant before...
Dorens - I know what a homonym is, and I know what lazy is...but don't know your answer...
you know the ones you pull out all the time
I'm so glad the equine combines with something. I was trying to make it go with te5/12. You never know what enable might take.
<ty, matty>
Dorens, your clue didn't work for me, sorry
Whadid I do, Charm?
I was having the same cluelessness but didn't want to admit to being dense !
he6/21 and he7/32 please
s + feather/down stuff + consonant
ah, thanks dorens!
glad it worked, charm
he6/21 = not gay/queer and pl.
FEather down stuff?
es 9 is past tense of es + tr 5/10
not for me. What the heck is featherdown stuff?
7th se4, s + greek letter
okay e + ***s of march
Dorens, I have that one ta
my next to last word, and I know this will earn a fish, but - I need one of the last ro 6/18 - i have the list one
s + that one, hetty + tall consonant
I DO NOT like the ES words. I have the 5, need the 7,9, and 8... please?
pl of the ro5/10 before it - Wolvie
plural fish, wolvie
according toi my count that's the sixth se4--what's the next one?
plural of ro 5/10, wolvie?
the best feathers for feather pillows and feather beds are called that ei***
Stid = es + trick or ***** and past tense and pl.
thank you inge
oh man - plural fish indeed. Thanks guys!
thanks Charm! I knew they would be fishes...
YAY Wolvie!
yw
deetyay wolvie
whoops. :)
thank you Charm.
stid, I like you latest icon even better
done Wolvie?
hooray wolvie
thanks inge. I wanted a visual palindrome. I made it last night, so it's not quite perfect, but it's good enough.
Thanks charm
Finally got it...but largely due to Jumble.org, rather than anything else. I feel silly. I still need the second to last se4/4 (not the near homonym of sex LOL) and the probably related se5/10
i like it better that way, stid
Finally found that se6/21, what a stupidhead word
klaurel! *giggle* that was the funnest I have seen in some time.
thanks Dorens
hetty, i don't getyour count, but the next one is "who se** the table everynight??
anybody have napoleon for their icon?
matty is jumble. org like a-z?
I've got that se4/4 - I need the one before it.
just finished last one - NOW I can get congrats. ;-0
yayyyyyyy wolvie!
Congrats, Wolvie!
Yay, Wolvie !
WTG wolvie!!
ah, okay. hooray wolvie!
That's amazing Wolvie!
se + crossed leter + first vowel
76 to go for me
s + greek letter matty
bravo Wolvie
okay, I have 93 words and cannot monkey the EE. help please?
thanks guys - saved those r's for last - wh4 a bear.
most like the snaky sort of water animal
Got it!
stid - think of long skinny fish and make it more so
snakey fish - the most of that
moRE like, i should say
ee = long snakelike fish (electric ee*) = more so.
Thanks guys. Onwards - 41 left.
well, more of that, is more acurate
thanks peri, Dorens and Wolvie!
and charm...
i'm down to 29....light at the end of the tunnel!
ee - what a wacky word
I just look at the number of words and feel a strong need to lie down...
I have that one too, Dorens. Oh dear I'm getting frazzled. The eleventh word is anse6/21, whiuch despote all the help about down pillows I still can't get. Next comes the greek letter followed by another se4 that I( can't get. ten there's an se5/10 that defeatsb me also, and then there comes the se***** the table
you can play babble lying down, we dont mind, Douglas
i'm already lying down, douglas... it helps. :)
got my last E. Now 13 H words...
hello my babbling friends!
I felt the same way, Douglas, but was so rapidly assimilated by the grid that it hasn't been bad.
he4/6 please the one after the he7/32
It's nice to have such understanding companions...
Hello debbinia
hey debb
helloe Debbinla
Hi debbinla
DEBB!!! Hi -- didn't see you come in. How's life in LA?
Hey Debb.
hetty, i think you have a problem in your lickeety list., maybe you should reenter
Please help me. Se6/21. Se 4/4; se5/10; and the last 2 se5's as well
se6/21 rhymes with the jewish toy top
he 4 : he + crossed letter + chair
and the se is se + what you show to prove your age + above ground train
need he5/14 too, please
hi inge, peri, stid. leslie matty -- and everyone - -- things here in la are great - stid - i printed out a few chapters of your story .....it's like poetry -
last se 5 is where the water goes
one beefore it is past tense of needle and thread
last 2 se5: a seamstress and past tense
Yes, Dorens, I am probably wrong about the order, but checking my list of words against Lickety's for the umpteenth time I still come unstuck at the eleventh word
inge, thanks, took me a while to figure out what chair meant but I got it and its plural
ok se4/4's
chair
religious group
what youplant
hetty, the SE 6/21: se + anagram of id 4 (lazy)
s + the snaky fish thing
the ro 7,28 after the fragrant flower, I know how it begins, but can't get the end
the eighth letter of the alphabet looks like a chair
hi6/24 please
one with sight
s + h***'s Johnny
s + greek letter
se + **ar Ivan the terrible
s + snaky fish thing?
last tense of hi 4/5 before it, masculine possessive plus crossed letter
like an electric e**, hetty
bubba--it ends with past tense of to eat
se + above ground train hetty
8past tense
got it--the snaky fish thing i mean, so you don't have to pass me o
need help with hi6/24 please
lol
*one!
i need the sw 5/18 after perspires
ty, Doreens
did you get that peri?
hi6 is past tense
i got it hetty, lol.... especially not an electric one, that wouldn't feel good
LOL to youtoo. Brilliant and caring response, Dorens.
NM found it
25 left - onto the STs - looking for the st7/28 and its eight - lessie if I can find it before it's clued ;)
dorens, to cuss but change a to e?
my pleasure
inge, thanks but I found it myself, did not see your clue
Dorens, think candy
sw 5: like taking an oath, change a to e
hah. thanks leslie
and both inges as well...i am now done with the S!!
there are just too many!
I have a question. Do any of you "mash" keys on the keyboard, instead of press them?
yw
and thank you; I needed the sw
I need 7 more HE words then I can move on to another letter
DI 9
like with a fist, douglas??
Depends how frustrated I am, Locutus!
which do you need stid?
OK - can you clue the st7/28 and 8/40 please?
Southerns mash keys, Douglas
ok this is bugging me...i need a di 4/5 between di5/12(regulated meal plans) and di4/5 (thing you serve food on) please
I don't anymore after I wrecked my previous keyboard
klaurel compound word. what you empty out of the sink
klaurel, compound word - to gossip, di** the dirt + what comes out of your sink
the HE 5 and 7/8 after the bereaved relative would be a good start
And southerners mash keys and think nothing of it?
ramix rhymes with the pattern the de9 makes when it is emptying out of the sink
ramix, are you sure it's not di + ** train in chicago?
I thought southerners drank mash? Or am I more confused than normal?
rob a bank stid?
It's a common term down here, to mashing buttons.
Please?
Finally below 100. *wipes brow*
and one who does it....and pl
thanks leslie
sorry matty i don't have it yet
go Jud ygo!
Di 4/5 like the word for a female child, change first letter to d
go judy!
awesome! thanks
OH! thanks Dorens! see, I am SO lawful that never occured to me!
Pretty please? st7/28 and st8/40?
st8 is even more of the metal. Remove the last letter for the 7
I have monkeyed all the anagrams for id4 following "se" and nothing works, so I'm still stuck on the se6/21
yw stid
Thanks Gwen!
se + what you show to prove your age + above ground train
someone clued a good one earlier, hetty - he + what you show when carded + ** train in chicago or electric e**
oooh dorens beat me to it
Do you have the Jewish toy, Hetty? It's similar to that.
hetty -- SE + IDentification + ELevated train...
that's cause i'm the somebody who did it earlier
aah that'll do it
I've looked at that before, Dorens. And I don't see a gold card!
lol stid
Thanks Stid, I'll try again

se7/48 = nori, what sushi is wrapped in, what some fish eat.

Got it, after I got past thinking 'rice'! Thanks

WE're going to Baldwin -not quite as...posh as the Hamptons LOL!

oh i walked away for a minute... yayyy dorens!
someone clued you earlier, stid... interested in the opposite sex
stidmama, if you're not gay, youre h******
thank you ramix! i needed that too
oh -- I must have missed it while trying to find something else. tHanks everyone!
man, adding sexual to those prefixes was a big mistake. now people think the prefixes themselves have to do with sex.
i mean not all of you think that, but some people do.
hi k8
Well, some people also think burger has to do with meat. Which it does, now. The wonders of a living language!
Hello, hurshy!
at 7/28 pls?
but we still need those prefixes for other things. hello vi :)
at7 ends like wine experts in restaurants
hi hurshy!
i mean one wine expert. 8 is the pl.
at7 - artists studio
ty hurshy :)
thanks for that clue, hursh. i wasn't getting the artist studio
Right, as ever, hurshy!
hello stid, yw daisy
Personally, I prefer heterogenous poplulations to homogenous ones... much more interesting!
OR 6 please?
Well, I like homogeneity in some respects - such as basic ethics and courtesy - and hetergeneity in others, such as race, income, age, religion, and so forth.
well said, Stid
income? yeah, there need to be poor people around to make my life interesting...
es 7/28?
ha 6/33 please
or6 is like a brand of frozen potatoes but change the a at the end to e
es + tr 5/10, klaurel
es + trick or....
thanks, hurs and les
ha... sounds like doogie?
The essence of ethics and courtesy is kindness. In my experience, there is no person who does not have the desire for this.
ha 6/33 - add an r to ha 5/20, ramix
Thanks for the OR hurshy
leslie, dont have a 5/20
What I mean, hurshy, is that the town where I live is become so ridiculously expensive that only super rich people can buy houses here. I would rather have it open to people at a variety of income levels. It would be nice if there were no poor people needing housing, but since there are, and they do, I wish it were more available to them in my town.
how about ha 4/9? add a vowel to that for ha 5/20
oh, yes, vi
escuse me but my ha clue was so cute
yes hurshy, it was -- though it dates you... ;-)
i didn't WATCH it
hmm...can i have a verbal clue? it doest seem to be taking, leslie
of course not! ;-)
leslie do you remember the old show hee h**?
ramix is asking for the clue, dorens
i honestly didn't. seriously, ask me anything about it, and i won't know the answer.
oh, i see.. just came in sorry
nm...got it, thx
like doogie ho****, spelled wrong? was that your clue, hursh?
yes that was it leslie
ha6 is a heavy rope for mooring boats
i watched it! i saw him in cabaret in ny, and everyone asked me how it was, and i kept saying, I saw Doogie Howser's butt!
sorry hursh, musta missed your clue
there goes vi being all real-definitiony again
"I just thought it might help," she said apologetically.
lol
how abt the first ha 5/12
well now it seems to be that time, time to ponder the dinner situation... see y'all later
pluralise the ha4/5 above it ramix
the SW 7/44 that comes directly before the most saccharin?
bye hursh
later hurshy, enjoy your meal!
maybe tom calls you this?
I am down to 50 words. R and S...
ends with neckwear
dorens, not the one that means i dont like you
some people say your a sw***** pie
no, anagram dislike
yep. I had something in the wrong place! thanks Droens!
glad to be of service
Bye, hursh. And I think I'm away now, too, although I've got plenty left to find later.
see you later vicuna
well i'll be darned! that is a word?!!!!
bye vicuna
later Vi!
ramix you have no idea what constitutes a word in this game!
well, i need advil for this sore hand....and i thnk it's time to read a book Bye all
bye dorens, thanks for the help!
later Dorens, thanks for all the help

inge, a person who believes in de*** (having to do with god)
stid -- you are already young and beautiful in my eyes
this might be more exhausting!

hi smaller! it's not that bad -- stuck sitting anyway.
oh, grenadine. i call that a shirley temple or kiddie cocktail
grenadine
stid, did you hurt yourself?
Hey smaller!
shirley temples are made with seven-up
it actually is scarier looking than it is
no, it's the dumb arthritis and the dumber dog...
the grid, not the shirley temple
oh ok

Hello periwinkle!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

Hello Eva!ow are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
Oh, okay, pretty soon you will be back in the womb :)
so, stid, will you eventually know what it is like inside your mother?
Hi shutter, it is not too bad considering it is so bag, lots of the words are easy to find
I am hoping, then no more responsilities for myself or the state of the world, or the horrible things I do to my children...
How come swedish is not a word?
proper noun, Min
meant "so big"
having trouble with the first two RE words: 5/12 and 6/21 please.

But they've had the names of famous people before.

You mean you don't play for the sheer joy, Onyx?

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!
first re5/10 and the re6/21 right after it please, I want to get out of the RE's
*hobbles off*

peri, that re 5/10 is the re 4/4 just before it plus a consonant making it most
re 5/10 - add cross letter to the one before it, peri... i'm still looking for that 6
the re 6/21 is to replace the bottom back part of your footwear

Hello chj! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

thanks LeslieAnn and nrkii, serious lag time here
h + Till D*a** Do Us Part
hi debbb....bad game last night
ty nrkii
i guess they have to lose sometimes - but i don't like it!
but why to the phillies
third re6/21 please
i dont like this if they have to play the phils in the playoffs
peri, I clued it below for you
it's like they have a mental block or something -
5:44
who's pitching tonight
The third re 6/21 is redid your shoes laces periwinkle
73 left, think i'll take a break... later folks
no min, that's the 5th one
dont tell rennie but the yanks are losing again
I mean the 6th one
olivier perez - one of the nady tradees
has been terrible in pittsburgh
ugh, I know
debb have you finished the grid
chj, they'd win if arod sat down, I'm sure of it
has he had another bad game, nrk?
oh yeah
he struck out 4 or 5 times last night
he's pathetic
nrkii according to my list that was the 5th or 6th re6/21 I need the 3rd one please
how about the re 6/24 and re 6/21 before the one that is about relaxing
It was the third one on my list, so I just did that one
7-5......vlad tripled
the shoe one is the 3rd 6/21
peri, the third re 6/21 is fix your sh**...
chj, I'm listening to it, don't add to my pain please
Isn't that the one I clued nrkii? I thought I clued that
min, you clued lace your sh**
the one I clued is re + high **** sh**s
stilettos
I am confused, I have a re6/21 but it is not the third one, also have a re6/21 re laces and shoes but that is not the third one either.
when your stilettos break, you have to re**** them
Nrkii! I don't understand your clue. Can you redo it?
can anyone help with the re 6/24 and the re 6/21 following it ?
nrkii, Oh, that re6/21, didn't have that one, thanks
debb, for a animal that winnies (ho***) you periodically have to replace their footwear
re6/24 a horse got new sh**s
phew peri!
and then deb, the past tense of same is the 6/24
re 6/21 a person got new sh**s
angels 8 yanks 5
it is hard to clue some of these words because the clues all need other words in the grid... he**, sh**, ho***
you can say that again, nrkii, several re6/21 re shoes today makes it confusing to clue
thanks - fish please ......
chj, please ...
I don't have the list, so I might easily give the wrong clues. Thank you nrkii for your re 6/21 clue. I got it.
oh yeah, and ti**
herring or cod
a big ole cod
as a met fan im rooting for another subway series, so im rooting for the yanks to win (while hating them nonetheless)
one cod coming up for debb
cod is int he grid if you are from the boston area lol
interesting chj ...... can't say same here...... (i agree with the hating part, but not the rooting part)
OMG--the end is in sight. Down to 13. *drops head on desk*
goooooooo judy!!
yay cj
right behind you at 17
debb, well I'll still root for the mets even though you won't root for the yankees
I just won't root for the red sox
goooooooooo ramix!
nor i
aw nrkii - you are kind
and just what is wrong with the red sox nrkii
the only time I don't root for the mets is if they're playing the yankees
he 5/12 between female he4/5 and another he4/5 which i dont know the meaning of but can be prefixed with be?
as for the rest of baseball, I root for the yankees, and whoever is playing the red sox
im rooting for the mets to either annihilate the yanks 4-0 or beat them in a squeaker by one run in the 7th game in extra innings
ramix, those two are right together
bb
go sox!!
you must be missing another
re5/20 pleae

lol nrkii
there should be a nudge button for the chat like in IM
and how about the president while youre at it nrk
hmmm not a bad idea
re 4/4 before the re6/21(to fix the back of the shoe)
I could call him every once in a while and say NU CLE AR
i'd take a pass on that last one myself - don't want to talk to someone who mispronounces both nuclear and arctic
lol nrk!

i'd like to call him once in a while - but i wouldn't be as polite as you nrk
ramix, change last letter of the other re 4/4 to the plural letter

hey feather !! went to check out the site :))) LOL & then couldn't open this program again 2X in & out - funny - was there music?
nrkii...actually need the other one, not the one with the plural letter
what i want more than anything is a device that would jam all cell phones within 50 yards of my person
helen, feather wandered off for parental stuff, but wanted me to make sure you saw it
perez is a tad nutty
no music
ramix, just change last consonant

bye fiz!
ooh, I'd want to see that helen -- let me know if you find that link again!
bye fizzy
bye fiz
by all i'll eat extra kettle corn thinking of you all.
okay, I'm annoyed, MLB has wrong score for yankees game
lol oh nrkii - it was on one of those ar fan sites - but there are so many - who knnows where that is - but i'll keep it in mind :)
says the yanks got two runs this inning but they didn't
nrk - forgive them this time - it isn't pretty
12-7 angels
I think it's 12 - 6 though
Damon hit a solo hr and that was it for top of this inning
says 7 on the angels network out here
fox graphic shows 12-7
debb, I'm a glutton for punishment
the le 7 and 8 anyone?
(i do the same with the mets nrkii - i understand)
okay, I missed that bernie was on base, it was a 2-run homer
chj can clue the le 7 best
helen, what's going on in the BBH?
re 4/5 comes after re7/48 (to stitch again) pls
le7 l*****ine mouthwash + insert e after the first letter
hi white - they are waiting around to do the pov
i should have used the m******singer clue
thank you chj :-)
who is nominated?
:( jani & cg
well, the bad news is that the yankees need 6 runs to win in the 9th, the worse news is they'd then have to not allow more runs in the bottom of the 9th, but the GOOD news is that arod made the last out last inning, so he might not be involved
se 6/21 after ogler?
this is too bad
re 4/5 comes after re7/48 (to stitch again) pls
they had a food comp yesterda7 & cg got to eat - he ate so much he couldn't move - some are on slop, i think & the rest can only eat meat & alcohol for 5 days, again, i think that's it
but he could be the key at bat with the score tied and the bases loaded
does janey have help? will or boogie maybe?
snppngtrlle (tough name to type!)... se + let your car run while stopped, switch order of last two letters
erika's room is straight out of target - orange!
chj, only if the gods hate me
thanks chj !!
Thanks!
they love you nrk...its arod they hate
oh yes, erika has been throwing up the last few days, does not look good today & there is talk on the feeds that there may be a boog-spawn involved'
ramex, like r*** Limbaugh, but diff vowel
re 4/5 comes after re7/48 (to stitch again) pls
i don't like orange
whta do you mean with a boogspawn?
sorry what
whitewitch - will & boog have told her they would help throw the pov her way, but usually the case is that if they are talking then they are lying - also since erika put up cg & jani - dani is suspicious that erika has involvement with ct - cause that would have been the obvious ploy - put up at least 1 from chilltown
ty nrkii
equid
spawn of boogie - some speculation she may be pregnant

OUr first one was taht big, and doctor told us to make him sleep through the night. He did most of the time

EE == more like the fish without fins, debb
one ends in stick letter, the other in snake
ee - extra long fish

long slippery fish extended
thank you !
funny though whitewitch. Terrible was the behaviour of some people
they couldn't do stuff like that in germany....human rights!!!!!!!
lol
anybody get ce6-21?
yes we have those too but sillly enough to sign up silly enough to be tormented.
CE 6/21 is the shakespearean "certainly" starts the same. looks like a breath mint with an extra e
thanks stid i was getting to that clue but i couldn't clue it
2nd te6/18 please
great clue, stid, while I lam still trying to think of one
ty stid

can i have the le 7/28 please
he 6/21 and he 7/32?
thanks inge
hi all
well i got to 1/2 way and that's enough for me today.
he 6/21: prefix meaning "not all the same"; as opposed to "homo" meaning "all the same"
ones we had a russian version of bb in germany...the players had to go on the street and bagging for money or no food for that day
see you on the next grid
snppn -- that was for you.
well done, Beast!
missing one of the last te6/18,,have the one who gives exams

mikssing the 3rd or 4th te4 - have the plural letter
they had to cancel that version
ce 6/21 anyone?
te 18 above the examiner is the to be examined
i know herin that is bad
LE 7/28 looks like a hawaiian token of greeting and good will (le 4), add three letters to make it a person who "does" this.
Debb -- shakespeare. just clued it
does any one have the 3rd or 4th te4/4 please
oh dear god, the pussy cat dolls are doing reality tv for their next singer, um can i just say must be willing to act like a peice of meat.
thanks stid

the third TE 4/4 is like a blue-green color misspelled.

yummy
shrimp scampi,. rice, and a chicken veggie stir fry
do you have the anagram of the fortune teller peri?
mmm. Sounds really yummy!

i have 4 to go and should have left for dinner 5 mintues ago - can anyone help with the sh 5/14 and sh 5/12 before what knights carry into battle
had to celebrate my new laptop! :)
oh i know im getting old, music is so slutty on tv.
we're having pizza tonight. Tom has gone out to pick it up. A great little shop on the West Side of Olympia -- Vic's. VEry funky and college-townish. Excellent pizzas.
thanks CJ
oohh...sounds good klaurel
drop the last letter, deb
sh 5/14: to pull away from, past tense of shy
and the 5/14, drop the L
drop the last consonant on the sh 6/24 what knights carry
SH 5/12: drop the last letter of the knight's equipment
oh pizza wish we could afford that
it will use up our eating out budget for the month.
I am having pizza for dinner tonight also; Pizza Hut.
Pizza's relatively easy to duplicate at home.
But apparently I own a pizza parlor near stidmama's!
we're out of eating out money (end of month issues here too) so tonight is pancakes still actually sounds good though
sh7/32 please
It is, but a friend of the boy's is here and he prefers pizza made non-vegan... so we'll get one with cheese and meats for him.
yep but we have to budget due to house breaking up, people are moving out and pay is tight
SH 7/32 is "one who" puts the SH 5 on the bed.
and speaking of...I"m going to eat but will be back with my helper to talked the last 350...see ya'lll in a bit
are you a vegan stid?
peri - the person who does sh 5/12
enjoy your pizza stid
sh 7: sh 5/12 (what you put on yuor bed) the doer
thanks stid and inge
sh 7/32 rhymes with a person who tries to do well on a test by doing something immoral.
awww inge said a word!!!!!!
awww inge said a word!!!!!!
No, not vegan -- not even vegetarian. But when I eat out I try to go places that serve vegan food. That way I know they aren't going to include an animal product I am allergic to.
1st sh5/14 please
oh what you alergic to stid?
gee, I was hoping no one would notice:) :) :)
peri -- archaeologists find these all the time: pot sh***s
lol
sh5/14 is he 5/6 word with an s at the beginning peri
anything from a cow is dangerous, except leather. I can wear it...
sh5 : the flock of sheep, put s in front
the SH 7/52?
SH 7/52 is past tense of the small rodent that was tamed in Shakespeare's play
for me that would suck, cant help you klaural not there yet
sh 7:; taming fo the ***** past tense
sh 7/52 is taming of the sh*** plus past tense ending.
thanks everyone found sh4=5/14, stid I think you are thinking of shards?
the small rodent is the 5/20, btw
thanks, min
Yes peri, but it's pronounced the way this is spelled by the archeologists out here.
alternate spelling thereof, peri
ST 6/18 after the male cow?
plural kl!
*hands flippin' flounder to klaurel*
DOH!

hello everyone
SH 6/33: turn the past tense 6/36 into a "one who" peri

mat in atlanta there was a klingon party last night
and dragon con is comming up
Woulf, when my kids were still pretty much toddlers we made a house rule that worked. Didn't matter whose toy it was, if they argued over it, it went "up" on top of the fridge. Only took a few repetitions to convince them I meant it...
it was pretty relaxing Kristi -- no work, no plans, no stress -- if only it had been slightly nicer so I could have actually gone outside and enjoyed wandering around the park
oh, that would have been fun. I have never been to any of the conventions
BORDEN: an equine mount + a plant you don't want in your yard...
mat dragon con is comming up
lady -- my nect door neighbors will be going to dragon con -- I am so envious of them as I have never gone yet
sounds good GW...was 85 here today glad you made the best of it :)
but now with the 4400 on the USA network, I have come to remember all the time travel stuff I liked
hi everyone, stid, your rule sounds like my classroom, if you can't share it, no one plays with it
stid -- we do pretty much the same thing -- toys are meant to be shared not hoarded
dragon con??
Maybe hanging around my mother's classrooms all those years rubbed off, Penny! LOL
Hi Ted. understand you had fireworks earlier. Yay Ted!
Thanks, judy, it was never ending
it was rainy and overcast here all day, GW. Same down your way?

i vote FOR the story
herin: what about to RE -"put lawn in your yard"
well, this grid exhausts even the most die-hard babblers then, eh Woulf?
really hard grid love stids story but this is tricky, got that on stid, i am going through my list again
stid...you're very accurate in tallying our "votes"
lol, that must be it, stid

She rubbed her eyes sleepily and sat on a chair at the table, sniffing the air expectantly.
head fell on the keyboard from exhaustion
di + es5/10, Grey
"Where's Mother?" she asked after a moment.
Paul rescued the kettle before it whistled and poured the boiling water into the teapot.
"She is still sleeping. We stayed up late with Doris."
*tiptoes into room and takes a seat"
"Father, you spilled a bit on the floor."
this is so frustrating, cos now I need help with the eq
*whispers* I hate to admit it but it's official...my husband is better at this game on his first time playing than I'll ever be!

Paul snagged a rag and sopped it up. "How did you know that, Nan?"
He turned and looked at her.

She shrugged her shoulders, thin inside her shift and smiled, "I could hear it!"
why wouldn't it accept that the last 12 times I tried it?!!
ei 4.5 anyone?
glad it did now GW

Hi, again, all!
hi pam
i only have found a few of the big long words

Paul handed her a bowl and a spoon. "Would you mind beating the batter? I'll work on getting some bacon ready."
He reached for an apron and draped it over her. "Are you warm enough?"
"Oh yes, Father, quite warm. I like it when the stove is nice and hot."
"How is Doris? I was worried about her yesterday."
how ya doing GW?

"Good, Meg! Do you want to finish breakfast with Nan, or go help Doris get dressed and relieve your brothers?"

hi Ping
Meg laughed, "I'll take care of Doris. Nan, make sure he doesn't burn the pancakes, when I was little, they were always a little black on one side."
yw
She disappeared up the stairs to Paul's indignant "humph!"
Nan laughed and pushed the bowl to the center of the table.
hi lbd!
"The pancakes are ready, Father, shall I go get the syrup?"
"Not yet, Nan, I want to talk to you quickly before the others come in. Sit a little closer so I don't have to speak so loudly."
Nan felt her way around the table and found the chair next to the stove. She looked toward her father and waited.
ty gw got it
I hate 6's!!
hi kristi
what else do you need? I'm missing 3 c's though
"Nan, I have something for you. It is yours to do with as you like."
He took the vial from around his neck and placed it carefully in her hands.
Me too Grey. Anyone have the very last ro 6/18? (last ro)
nm got it.
I have only 3 left now -- all cr's -- the 6/21, 6/24, 8/55 block
She cupped it in her hands and felt its weight. Her fingers traced the delicate chain that held it.
or 6.21 pleasae?
ro 7: like the male chicken, drop one of double vowels
gw--the 8/55 is the ironed line in the pants said by someone with a wired jaw
She put it up to her face and sniffed at it. The facets glistened in the morning light as she moved it around.
GW 6.21 to make an original
Finally, she set it carefully on the table in front of her.
"What is it, Father?"
or6 -- frozen tater tot company -- change the last vowel

Nan grew very thoughtful. Paul started pouring the batter onto the griddle, and flipped the bacon over.

"If it can do that, Father, could it heal other things, too?"

Paul flipped the pancakes and moved the bacon to a platter.
st 6/18 after radios is plural of st5/10 just b4 radios
aha! took me awhile but I got it...thankg GW, Andy and others
"Yes, but only once. The entire contents of the vial must be consumed for it to work."
you are very welcome, kristi (and partner)
andy ? i dont have re 5 18
Nan smiled, and slipped the chain over her head. "Thank you, Father."
that's right...can't forget my right hand man (who is showing me up tonight)
Paul put the pancakes on plates and got another batch going.
*ohh what a dear heart, she's thinking of helping Doris I bet*
"Don't you want to use it now, Nan and surprise your mother?"
taz re 5/18 - re + verb for joining fabrics with a needle
o ty
"No Father, I have a different idea. I know that I will be fine if I never see with my eyes. But Doris gets so sick, and Mother worries about her even when she isn't."
Paul started to understand, and his heart swelled with pride.
"Would it be okay with you -- do you think the person who gave this to me would understand -- if we give this to Doris?"
how you doing ping?
*i knew it! told ya so!...what a sweet little!*
Paul flipped the pancakes and hugged Nan tightly.
"I think it is an excellent idea, Nan. Go on up and help Doris get dressed. I'm almost done with this."
188 - have had 2 crying child breaks to slow me down though
Nan slipped out of the kitchen, and Paul turned back to the stove. Nan popped her head around the doorway, "And don't burn Meg's pancakes, Father!"
He could hear her giggling as she ran up the stairs.
very impressive nonetheless ping...the worst I have here is a cat who wants a lap :)
ping u can stil do it
my cat is outside - strategy!
thanks andy
thanks andy......i got it
Not long after, Otto and Owain stumbled into the kitchen, yawning. Paul looked at them in surprise, "That took you a while, boys. What kept you?"
yw all :-)
aha...smart lady you are pig!
er that is ping, kritsin
ping...not pig!
made it over the 300 line, never thought that would happen!!!!!
Does someone have a clue for the last st 6/18?
"Oh, Doris had to tell us about a dream she had -- about dwarves and fairies and strange woods and mules that turned into butterflies.

"And then," interrupted Otto, "She said your real name is "Paulo" and that you learned magic words when you were away."
Paul smiled.
wake up melon!
"We were glad when Nan came up and interrupted her!"
go seahawks
*smelling salts for melonhead*
They reached for the teapot and started to set the table.
John and Anna came in with their children and Anna disappeared in the pantry to find the syrup.
Good night to one and all -- I am trying to learn take advantage of getting sleep while Seb is sleeping instead of my usual pattern of crawling into bed 30 mins before he wakes up for a bottle

Andy wandered in with the dog (who was looking very satisfied, having spent the night inside on Andy's bed), and Gilly trailed in, looking refreshed and glowing, her hair done up earlier than usual.
more like a certain metal. just found it
good night Woulf, sleep tight!

Gilly rushed over to Doris, intending to scold her, but stopped when she realized there was no trace of the previous day's trauma.
{revives} hi, i'm busy on "da grid."
sh 7/52 - past tense of sh 5/20 just b4 it, sh 5/20 a rodent
Nan found her Mother's side and hugged her.

Gilly put her arms around Nan and Doris.
Nan pulled on her mother's skirt to get her attention. "And the best part is, Mother, Doris won't ever get sick like that again!"
goodnight pam!
Again, Gilly and Paul's eyes locked.

Finally, Gilly understood. She knelt by Nan to be at her level.
