1:37 am

hello all

1:37 am

Hi MVA

1:38 am

And the one and only time I immediately think of the stupidhead babblet 'sris', it is a phantom word.

1:41 am

yee haw I got the av 8

1:42 am

WTG Blaze! I just found a 7 that uses 4 Ss :)

1:52 am

Is this a hard grid or am I just particularly dull today?

1:53 am

It is not going smooth over here. And 'issit' is SO a word. It isn't out of use, issit?

1:54 am

Morning Not as easy as it first looked but at least it is a manageable size today (havent played in 3 days)!

1:54 am

I don't know how many times I've tried ASSESS.

1:55 am

Me too. Hi FMitch :)

1:55 am

The size is a relief FMitch. If it had been another big one I don't think I would have started.

1:55 am

rest

1:55 am

Yesterdays

1:56 am

Oops. So sorry.

1:56 am

Sorry about that. Yesterday's went way faster than this one!

1:56 am

Yes! It did.

1:56 am

Hi sprite did you and the family have a good holiday?

1:57 am

Ive made it past the 1/2 way mark so far but have reached the wall

1:57 am

We had a great time, FMitch! Lots of things for the kids to do, hubby could canoe as much as he liked, nature was wonderful overthere, wine was good :) Thanks for asking!

1:57 am

where is every one from?

1:59 am

Sounds perfect sprite siku - our flags will give you a clue if you hold your curor over them

1:59 am

oh thanks.

2:00 am

Hm... mouse-over doesn't do a thing here with the flags. But if you click on the profiles, there is more info.

2:00 am

blah, too lazy to check all them out.

2:00 am

Hey everyone, I just started tonight. This is too addictive.

2:01 am

Oh oh, another addict coming on! Welcome, elisa8eth. You are right, it is addictive.

2:01 am

eliza you bet it is... join in the fun

2:02 am

Found the az4 & 5 conbo - thnk the Lion from The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe but loose a letter

2:03 am

Hi Blaze :)

2:03 am

thanks fmitch

2:03 am

question: the word stats are how many words there are with that number of letters, right? What are the repeat letters in the tile stats? One of my s's is 5/5 and one is 0/0?

2:04 am

hello all

2:04 am

hello taz

2:05 am

the tile stats -- that is how many words begin with that tile.... no s words off that one S

2:05 am

hey tazpink. eliza: the stats correspond with the tiles in the grid. So from the S-tile with 5/5 start 5 words, you found them all. From the other S-tile with 0/0 doesn't start a single word. First digit is how many words start there, last is how many you have found.

2:05 am

blaze and sprite howdy

2:06 am

well the cable signal is all screwed up and the household is running amok.... I will keep babbling to protect myself... all hail cable.

2:06 am

hi tazpink

2:06 am

Oh! It matches up with the grid! duh

2:06 am

Your icon fits your nick, taz :)

2:06 am

Hail Blaze's cable!

2:06 am

hiya mva

2:07 am

yes sprite glad to have figured out how to get one

2:07 am

I really think I should just really get them and cut the darn thing off.

2:07 am

It's sweet, taz!

2:07 am

sprite said a woorrd!!!

2:08 am

I did? Oh dear... soooo sorry! *starts checking her post urgently to find that word*

2:08 am

Oohhh... found it! Sorry, didn't have it yet, how can I be so blind... :)

2:08 am

LOL

2:10 am

Blaze... "And cut the darn thing off"??? Sounds errrr... a bit drastic... ;)

2:10 am

sprite can you repeat that word? lol

2:10 am

I just cot the sc 8 tra la....

2:11 am

It was in my post to you about your sweet doggie, taz ;)

2:11 am

I would only cut the cable off as a vengance... although I would surely pay the price....

2:11 am

WTG Blaze! Any clue to go with that?

2:11 am

ty

2:12 am

sprite .... much like the cutting thing used in sewing

2:12 am

Thanks Blaze Quite a few of the larger words end up in the top left hand corner

2:13 am

*starts cutting up the grid to get that R in the right place* Thanks Blaze, that will help :)

2:13 am

3:24 am

Okay, my last S-word was the first Si4/4. I am either too good to be true or I am in denial.

the di7 includes the sa4 meaning to rescue

3:25 am

it was more of an excuse to get together though, half the people just hung around, while the others played

3:25 am

"Do the hokey pokey"... thought that was a kind of dance?

3:25 am

tytyt nrp

it is sprite... it is also the best icecream in the whole world!!

3:26 am

its also honeycomb icecream down under

3:26 am

Emigration is starting to look good.

3:26 am

judging by the horns sprite, i'd say you were in denial

3:26 am

and as mrp says, the best icecream ever!

3:26 am

Am afraid you are right, Fran :)

too right atalante!!

3:26 am

:-)

3:26 am

Agreed, guys, hokey pokey is awesome. :D

3:27 am

what do they call it in America?? that sounds good, is it like violet crumble candy?

hello Jen! :)

3:27 am

hiya, Mr P. ^^

3:27 am

How come the best ice cream in the world isn't available in Holland???

3:28 am

get some gooey honeycomb sprite and mash into ice-cream!

it has vanilla and honeycomb and caramel flavours! It is just too good!

3:28 am

yum!

3:29 am

*switches from towel to sheet to keep keyboard dry*

3:29 am

ooh, that should be a mix-in at cold stone

how can they not have it in holland!! OMG you are all so deprived!!

3:30 am

Aha! Fireworks!

I will send you the recipe sprite... give it to the spritets... they will love it!!

3:30 am

we don't really have it here either :(

3:30 am

Oh please do, mrP! They will love it! So will I! :)

3:30 am

recipe? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:30 am

yay sprite!!!!

3:30 am

wow sprite nice

Bring sugar and golden syrup to the boil slowly in a large heavey saucepan, stirring all the time as it will burn easily. After it starts to foam up, simmer gently over a very low heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and still watching it carefully. Remove from heat and add baking soda quickly until it foams up and pour at once into a greased pan or onto a piece of aluminium foil with the edges turned up. Break it into bits when cold and store in air-tight jars. Be sure to save all the crumbles so that you can top your ice cream with them to make Hokey Pokey Ice-cream.

3:31 am

BTW Fran, I love your quilt!

3:32 am

thanks sprite!

5 tbs sugar 2 tbs golden syrup (must use this!!, not corn syrup) 1 tsp bicarb of soda

3:33 am

And then you just throw it over vanilla ice cream, mrP?

yes sprite!! stir it through and add caramel for a twist!!

3:33 am

throw it over and mix in it!

3:34 am

and remember to use a *big* pan, because the stuff expands like mad while being made

YUM!!! *dances off the the freezer to plough head into hokey pokey*

3:34 am

Great mrP! What is tbs? tsp is teaspoon, I think? And golden syrup... what exactly is that?

too right atalante... you need the bigass pan!

3:34 am

tbs = tablespoon

3:34 am

tablespoon

tsp is teaspoon, tbs is tablespoon

3:35 am

golden syrup is .. golden syrup lol. um. *thinks*

you can find golden syrup in specialty shops... it is really thick sweet syrup that goes on anything!!! truly a beautiful syrup

3:36 am

do you have cane syrup?

3:36 am

In Holland we have maple syrup, sugar syrup...

3:36 am

mrp, that's what's in a violet crumble candy bar isn't it?

yes, it is similar!!

3:36 am

maple syrup would do

yes it would atalante...

3:37 am

http://www.britshoppe.com/lylgolsyr.ht ml

3:37 am

We have cane syrup. That is no specialty here, it goes over pancakes.

alternatively, for a quick fix ... smash up a violet crumble, stir it through the icecream and get busy!!

3:38 am

just what i was thinking mrp!

3:39 am

golden syrup isn't a specialty here, either! Cane syrup would work, maple syrup would work, and I can always send you some *proper* golden syrup over if you can't find it anywhere!

BUT.... the recipe is the best way to go!! no substitute for yum factor in making it!!

I can send you some too sprite! just let us know!

3:39 am

we need a babble warehouse for food swaps from around the world!

3:40 am

You guys are the best! I am checking out the link Ata posted.

3:40 am

this goes way way back but my very favorite childhood food was steamed suet dumplings with golden syrup drizzled over the top!

yum!!

3:40 am

golden syrup sandwiches. perfect

3:40 am

yum! that sounds good!

golden syrup on strawberries with marscapone!

3:41 am

Found it! Not like molasses, so not the same as we have here. I am going to find out if there is a dutch name for it.

3:41 am

ve 40 or do 7.36 please

3:41 am

a triple taste sensation !

3:41 am

just golden syrup. on its own. mmmm!

*drool* *slobber* *slurp*

3:42 am

never mind ve 40

3:42 am

need the do 7

3:43 am

would some-one put a bib on that child!

taz, take the first do4, add ending and plural for a pannier

3:44 am

what is a pannier?

3:44 am

Yeah! It is available in dutch shops, guys. It is called candy syrup (kandijsiroop) or just plain golden syrup, lol (goudstroop). I will go there tomorrow, get me the ingredients and start having a party!

3:45 am

actually, sprite, ice cream with slightly gooey bits of stroopwafel in would be *similar* in taste

a carry basket thingy

yay sprite!! you will LOVE it!!

3:45 am

yay for golden syrup!

3:45 am

argh Ata... now what I am going to use to keep from drooling on my keyboard! Both towel and sheet failed already!

3:46 am

he he sorry! that one just occurred to me!

yaaaaaay!!! *drool* we both need a bib sprite!

3:47 am

There is something to say for being a small country. We have the actual Lyle golden syrop in the shops!

3:47 am

do 7 eludes me and my monkey

3:47 am

oh good! that really is the best sort!

3:48 am

taz, do you have To6/18 - 7/28? It is almost similar.

3:48 am

no i do not sprite

3:48 am

you'll have great fun making it - its one of those recipes that seems like magic - put a few bits in a pan and *poof* it expands and fizzes madly and turns into honeycomb!

3:49 am

My kids will have a ball! So will I for that matter, lol. I have this huge pan, I use it for soups. I think that will do.

3:50 am

For the TO combo, think people that keep turning over in bed, taz.

3:50 am

they'll love it! it was a highlight of my childhood watching mum make it :)

3:51 am

I'll make sure I will tell you guys about the Hokey Pokey Experience in the Sprite residence shortly!

3:51 am

only to i see is the basic 4 letter one srpite

to really go to town on this recipe, make some toffee and stir that through too

3:52 am

Taz: make it into someone doing it. Then pluralize. For the Do: change first letter.

3:52 am

oh my mrp ....!

taz, add the ending (er) hint hint :)

3:53 am

and errrr.... do you have a recipe for that toffee too?

3:53 am

o tytyt both i was adding ar

Atalante, I am truly sick!! ;)

I will get it for you sprite... brb

3:53 am

not seeing straight ty for the tips and laughs goodnight

3:54 am

or even dulce de leche, but that might just be slightly over the top lol. dulce de leche just stirred through ice cream is equally perfect though

2 cups sugar Three quarters cup cold water 1 tablespoon brown vinegar Sprinkles (optional) Place all ingredients in saucepan. Stir over heat till sugar dissolves. Bring to boil – do not stir. Cook till syrup is golden brown. Remove from heat and allow bubbles to settle. Pour into small patty cake papers. If desired, decorate with sprinkles.

3:55 am

Okay, help me out here, what is dulce de leche? If I am going for sick, I wanna go the whole mile. MrP, you are the best! Thanks :D

3:55 am

I agree, taz, it is really fun today!

3:55 am

easy dulce de leche is basically boiled up condensed milk

spread it on some baking paper on your kitchen bench, let it set and then crack it up into little pieces and stir it through the icecream!

3:56 am

http://www.dulcedeleche.co.uk/dulce_de _leche.html

3:56 am

and all that lot should keep the Spritelets on a sugar high for months!

sick!

3:57 am

They will be unmanageable. But after I have been in heaven like this, I won't care.

it is amazing really, after you have stuffed your kids with this ... they will never leave home!!

3:59 am

how much syrup for the toffee mrp?

3:59 am

or, if you want to be healthy (!), put a scewer through an apple core then drizzle the toffee all over.

I make it from the recipe dodge, it turns into a syrup then sets like rock!

woohoo im back, slacking of as im booting up friends ipod

4:00 am

LOLOL! "Dulce de leche is available in Holland under the name of "My Grandma". !!!

healthy schmelthy...!! give me the triple king island cream

4:01 am

lol!!

4:01 am

what no syrup in the recipe? ill make it with my gchildren!

4:02 am

Oh dear, herinfern. Did you overcook them because you were busy Babbling?

6:33 am

the re5.12 & 6.21 are really not acceptable words. truncated!

6:33 am

Grandkids are the best. You can love them and spoil them rotten -- all the things I didn't do to my kids at this age.

7:13 am

I try to stick with decaf, but during the week I mix decaf with hazelnut then I drink iced tea. So when I don't work on the weekends I don't drink coffee and the headache starts

7:14 am

ai6?

7:14 am

I define once in a while as several times a day, if possible! I really do try to restrain myself, but I am often tempted.

7:14 am

gotcha, pappou... seems an iced tea or half decaf, might be called for

7:14 am

LOL, ARB

um clue please, er 7/28

7:14 am

Pappou ai 6/18 ai + r 4/4

7:15 am

7:17 am

Hello peri. Still got those car keys safe, I hope?:)

7:18 am

Hello Dorens.

7:18 am

morning peri, dorens

7:18 am

yes Jacual, they are hanging on their hook. I have them on a long red strap that I can wear around my neck. :)

7:18 am

sorry meant Jacula

7:19 am

I think yesterday's grid was the most horrific I've ever played, even though I did get the dishwater words first!

7:20 am

it was a corker, alright. ;-)

jac i finshed with 30 seconds to spare literally

7:20 am

I was also annoyed that 'strewth' wasn't allowed.

7:20 am

7:20 am

May I please have clues for the 8's

7:20 am

Peri's lost for words! LOL

7:21 am

8-)

7:21 am

an8/40 - a type of vaccination stuff. (I don't have an Aunt Sarah!)

7:21 am

Hey my real name is in the grid

7:22 am

av8/55 - you may have this type of therapy to put you off doing something you really shouldn't.

7:22 am

thanks Jac

7:22 am

rasin

7:22 am

di8/60 - removes money from the bank. (Or try 'English princess rescues'.)

7:23 am

thanks Jac for the av8

7:24 am

thanks Jac, that di8 is an odd word

7:24 am

sc8/45 - a real doozey of a word. Means 'a cleavage or cutting'. Think of a cutting implement that has 2 halves and change the end. The deci**** which clue route to take is yours!

7:24 am

That's al the 8's.

7:25 am

thanks Jac, got the sc8 right away with your great clue

7:25 am

jac - that was a fab clue - got it one. thanks. :-)

7:26 am

took a coffee break, came back for the sc clue--thanks, jac and boy, what a word!

7:26 am

Me to Jacula 1 more

7:26 am

y/w. My monkey found the word for me.

7:26 am

thanks Jacula, got those 8's and the sc 8

7:27 am

that's some monkey - you should rent him out.

7:27 am

you gotta love those monkeys :)

7:27 am

morning inge!

7:27 am

i got the sc after monkeying for what seems forever, I then look up to find you had given a cracking clue for the sc8..doh!

7:27 am

morning, got to stay away from this side, made several mistakes already

7:28 am

Always keep one eye on the chatlog, seano. LOL.

7:28 am

lol, inge! It's not like we all haven't done it!

7:28 am

sorry jac did not get the an one

7:29 am

Tiny - an8 is a plural for vaccination agents.

7:30 am

Tiny - you vaccinate 'against' things - that gives you the first part of the word. (Sounds like a female who is your Mum or Dad's sister.)

7:30 am

still dont get it

7:31 am

Tiny - an5/10 + a period of time.

7:33 am

Got it that time Jac thanks

7:33 am

Thank heavens! LOL

7:34 am

Yeah I agree but I only have 24 words including the 4/8's you clued

7:35 am

jav your clues were great for the 8's, but I am not getting the di 8..any other clues for it?

7:35 am

Tiny - It's not a bad grid; lots of 'normal' words. Good luck!

7:36 am

dorens d 4/5 + park ***nue

7:36 am

Dorens - do you have the di7/44?

7:36 am

Thanks

7:36 am

oh, and dorens, plural...

7:36 am

I would actually have used de instead of di, dorens. di plus s, plus sa 4/4, then plural

7:37 am

no, don't have either of those d's...jsut starting out and need my coffe. but thanks, i'll find it i'm sure

7:37 am

7:57 am

7:58 am

7:58 am

I think this puzzle is difficult..all those s's..and of course, I need more coffee..grrrr..(hate it)..lol

7:58 am

i think it may be akin to post traumatic stress syndrome

7:59 am

LOL lianakate

7:59 am

yes - stress should be in the grid today, don't you think? ;-)

7:59 am

ewwwwwwww..Dorens..dont mention that..my insignificant other suffers from it..(pain in the arse too)

8:00 am

sorry, realized as I wrote it that it might have been seen as irreverant, and I don't mean it that way...the real deal is not something to joke about

8:00 am

Umm..wolvie, in case you havent noticed..STRESS IS THE GRID today..(venting)

8:00 am

Sorry Dorens, I didn't read your comments. Do you have relatives from Canada?

8:46 am

hey seano...good result yesterday!

8:46 am

8:47 am

Hi folks. I'm back for my last 6, which are all 'r' words... re words, no doubt!

8:47 am

Hi Jacula

8:48 am

8:48 am

sa6/18 - Indian antelope (black buck). It has a plural, too.

8:48 am

roc- take first sa 5/10 and plural

8:48 am

oh duh

8:49 am

8:49 am

Or, rather sa5/10 has a plural.

8:49 am

Hi Annie, Marc et al. Thanks Dorens, I'll have a little mooch for them on my own first...

8:50 am

sure thing

8:50 am

YUK! My tea tastes of 'Fairy Liquid'. Someone didn't rinse the mugs out! *Blows bubbles at other Babblers.*

Hi Jacula, Dorens, I think they originally came from Russia then went to England and then onto Canada. I believe my grandfather had 7 or 8 brothers and one sister. We lost track of them a long time ago. I do have a cousin in Canada that I communicate with I should ask her if any migrated to Albany.

8:52 am

yay fireworks

8:53 am

my great grandparents came from the area of Eastern Europe which was sometimes Russia and sometimes Poland

8:53 am

Well done, RocDragon!

Oh - and congrats on Kyle - is he sleeping!?

Hi Jacula!

Different people do it all different ways, daisy. Some use the second-letter lists, some don't. Some ask others for clues in the chat, others don't. Some use on-line dictionaries and word lists, others don't... Whatever way makes it most fun for you is the right way to do it.

1:24 pm

is the an8 something to do with a vaccination? I can not find it :(

1:24 pm

daisy: I like to do as much as possible just brainstorming off the grid.. then I get a bit of help with the initial numbers from BJ's list, then.. I will join chat and share clues and "dive into" the word list to figure out what I am missing.. lots of steps, but I like the process of discovery .. finding new words is fun!

1:24 pm

remember, feed babblet a little often faerie!

1:25 pm

yup, it is the an 4,4 (against) + se4,4, -- it is like a vaccination

1:25 pm

raelite: it has to do with BLOOD..

1:25 pm

thanks :)

1:25 pm

I am amazed by the people who complete the large puzzles (like yesterdays) there are a ton of words to find and learn

1:26 pm

an 8 : start with an 4 (againsst) add Latin plural of the liquid that is used to vaccinate

1:26 pm

Ok MVA I will she seems do be doing fine as long as I am holding her LOL

1:26 pm

time consuming, daisy... couldn't do it till I retired.

1:26 pm

It is similar to a croosword puzzle, once you have them enough times, you sort of figure outthe words and clues, the same in babble

1:27 pm

I keep seeing antacid in this puzz..I think that's the problem

1:27 pm

you are right, bubba.. speed increases with the recognition of all those weirdo words that frequently pop up

1:29 pm

raelite, think of the Italian sound Que ****, ****, what ever will be, etc. That is the ending of the an8

1:29 pm

and the beginning means "against"

1:29 pm

the sound is supposed to be song

1:30 pm

waiting for raelite to tell us she has it, then I must scoot...

1:31 pm

the suspense is killing me, does raelite have it?

1:32 pm

holding my breath, bubba

1:32 pm

bubba - here is where you do the jaws theme

1:32 pm

turning a bit blue..gasp

1:32 pm

patiently pacing and tapping my toes

1:33 pm

is she breathing, did someone check her pulse

1:33 pm

breathe aly....

1:33 pm

This is worse than the waiting room at the maternity ward!

1:33 pm

maybe her monkies collapsed

1:34 pm

Well I'll thank you!

1:34 pm

call 911

1:34 pm

rae...oh rae.......

1:34 pm

maybe the thrill of getting the word overwelmed her and she went to have a cigarette

1:35 pm

(A chocolate one, I hope.)

1:38 pm

hi sorry

1:38 pm

1:38 pm

*** collective groan! ***

1:40 pm

oy! I have the first part!

1:40 pm

thnink of the Itlian song que ****, ****, what ever will be will be, etc,etc-- then put the against word first

1:40 pm

ok, let's try another clue: against (four letters) + alt spelling of another word for MR. and then the first vowel..

1:40 pm

we're pulling for you

1:40 pm

oh look at that.

1:41 pm

the worse a rod gets, the more the fans boo, the more it gets into his head

2:52 pm

yummy bubba

2:52 pm

sa5/10 & 6/18 please

2:52 pm

A-rod deserves to be in a slump for the rest of his career. He is nothing but a money-grubbing friend-forsaking mean person.

2:52 pm

I am back... (as if you didn't notice)

2:52 pm

and on that note - hello stid!

2:52 pm

2:53 pm

hi stid

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

alex rodriguez, highest paid player in major league baseball

2:54 pm

Alex Rodriguez. Got his real start in the major leagues with the SEattle Mariners. Was part of a group of really good players. Left for more money and didn't care that he was abandoning thousands of fans.

2:54 pm

thanks ch1211

2:54 pm

I am gridded again, yep, that's true!

2:55 pm

HOw are you feeling today stid?

2:55 pm

Southwestern. Durango.

2:55 pm

but A-rod is the highest paid player EVER -- and since he left he hasn't been very good... (maybe it's karma)

2:55 pm

harpjane the word for professional killer starts with 'as...' use the last part of that word for your sa

2:55 pm

hi Jill! *diving in*

2:55 pm

harp sa5 was just clued look down the log.

2:55 pm

thanks oggy and ch1212

2:55 pm

he he serves him right then :)

2:56 pm

much better peri, thanks! I have managed to get a bit done -- processed some corn for freezing, cleared off a workbench and baking a cake for later. Also nagged my wondeful spouse to tear up the roof so we could see WHAT the damage is...

2:56 pm

(still awaiting a clue for those elusive ones I asked for earlier ... es6 and ni5 ...)

i am going down for a nap - then a 50th b-day party - then hopefully back to finish the grid before midnight

2:56 pm

the damage is worse than even I thought... we need to replace most of the plywood, and entire 2x4 from the peak to the edge of the roof... and lots of the insulation.

bye everyone :)

2:56 pm

stid, have you used or considered any alternative methods, ie, Reiki, herbs, acupuncture?

2:56 pm

gotta go thanks everyone for the nice welcome, good luck today

2:56 pm

see you late helen - sweet dreams

2:57 pm

2:57 pm

stid, wow you got an awful lot done, sorry to hear about the roof damage though

2:57 pm

Happy birthday, helen!!! Happy 50th!! I turned 50 this year and it's been one of the best of my life! Thanks, bubba!

2:57 pm

And thanks bettyanne!

2:57 pm

You're welcome.

2:57 pm

helen wh's 50th, your gandfather?

2:58 pm

50 is the new 35!!

2:58 pm

I have considered and do use them sometimes (not acupuncture yet). Right now, I need to rest enough to be able to move about. Then I can start to think how I will prevent or minimize it in the future.

2:58 pm

ch, I LOVE the icon!

2:58 pm

50 rocks

2:58 pm

stid, just asking since I am a Reiki practitioner and also learning about herbs.

2:58 pm

oh bubba! That makes me about 25! *grin*

2:58 pm

Thanks, stidmama -- a high school student drew it in art class when the teacher covered Op Art. Found it on the net

2:58 pm

Bye all, be back later

2:59 pm

Bye Bubba

2:59 pm

oh! That is really neat, peri. I have some acquaintances who do Reiki. I know a little about herbal medicine, too.

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

bye bubba

3:00 pm

I have one left. si4/4 and can't get it. I have the one in the chair.

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

betty, it's either mortal si* or venial ones

3:00 pm

si4 seven deadly si..

hi Stid :)

3:01 pm

3:03 pm

Yep! Glad it was a smaller grid as yesterday I couldn't finish---did have around 335 or so however which is great for me. Bye.

3:03 pm

so, you just started stid?

3:03 pm

oggy, our weather has been fine, though we are in for a change this coming week. It's why I really wanted to get a meaningful start on replacing the skylight.

3:03 pm

YAY BettyAnne! bye...

3:03 pm

I have 90 to go feather, wanna race?

As much fun as today's theme is, I'm skipping and going to tomorrow's theme.

3:04 pm

121 left, and a boy who is trying to get into everything! enough of an advantage for you?

3:04 pm

uh oh, he found the bag of elmer's glue bottles. brb

3:05 pm

I ^might^ be able to pull it off feather...

3:05 pm

feather how olds the boy.

3:05 pm

bernie hr 3-0

3:05 pm

hello leigh! our theme will be places it's good to be from?

3:05 pm

chj -- is this good that bernie made a hr?

3:05 pm

he just turned 2

3:06 pm

how do u know what the theme is.

3:06 pm

not for me...but it makes rennie happy

Mama- Vacation areas we could do without. =) We have plenty of those here....the Turnpike, Newark, Seaside Heights, the Meadowlands.....

3:06 pm

feather -- could you just strip him naked, put him in a dry kiddie pool and hand him some playdough, a bucket of water and some blocks?

3:07 pm

dulce!

3:07 pm

well -- whatever makes rennie happy makes us all happy!

3:07 pm

feather the terrible 2,s into everything.

3:07 pm

lmao!!!! what a great idea stid!

3:07 pm

a happy rennie is a good thing

3:07 pm

oggy -- we look at Babbler's profile, or on Angelsong's page where she has put up a nice calendar.

3:07 pm

dulce de leche

3:07 pm

"into everything" is putting it mildly!

3:08 pm

see, I told you I am raising two boys! LOLOLOL

3:08 pm

renfield -- any news on Nut's dog?

3:08 pm

I am so sad for that...

3:08 pm

i'm ignoring the land mine of toys at the moment, and listening to him creating another land mine in the kitchen. but he's having fun, staying out of trouble, so i'll clear it up later.

3:08 pm

none yet stid/ nut is out of town this weekend

3:08 pm

thanks stid.

What happened to the dog?

3:09 pm

it's only when it's quiet that you need to worry feather, but you know that already!

3:09 pm

yep. he was just repeating "no no no" over and over, had to go check that out. he's busy playing with his kitchen set, so false alarm.

3:09 pm

thanks, ren. How about your mother?

3:10 pm

oh feather, the memories!

3:10 pm

a few days ago, it was very quiet...i went to check, and he had climbed up on the changing table and was taking a baby powder bath and using the desitin as chapstick! i have a picture...i should upload it...

3:11 pm

stid - cyberdot is doing better. the stitches are irrating her. she has dementia and doesn;t remember why she has a bandage

3:11 pm

*giggles, imagining the pic*

3:12 pm

leigh wanted to know about the dog - I'm not sure of the latest so can somebody tell her?

3:12 pm

Yes, I know that must be hard. But perhaps the stitches irritating is a good thing. My few experiences with stitches is that I only notice them when the healing has started...

3:13 pm

sorry leigh. There was some problem and someone took Nut's dog to a pound.

Oh no...

3:13 pm

leigh - someone had the puppster picked up. fiz was having her mom check on the status of where the puppster might be located

3:14 pm

Meaningless protest about the absence of Asia in the dictionary

The poor thing.

And poor Nut

3:14 pm

as I recall, it was her brother who took the dog and it was a "killer" pound - 48 hours limit. Her mother (?) was trying to do something about it because they didn't know which pound it was.

3:14 pm

Douglas -- PROPER noun...

3:14 pm

hey ya douglas

Why would her brother do that??

3:15 pm

Then why is "Jehu," one of the kings of Israel, in the dictionary, hmm? HMM?!?

3:15 pm

maybe it's not a proper noun in a different language?

3:15 pm

ok, stid, adding pics to my photo album...will be a few minutes....

3:15 pm

Hello ren, and all...

3:15 pm

good question, leigh but there was no answer

the word list is kinda arbitrary and unreasonable

like my parenting style

3:16 pm

okay feather. I need to go change into "town" clothes... Tom and my father are going to get the supplies we will need later in the week when he finishes the roof; I am going grocery shopping with the kids and my mother.

3:16 pm

Bye Mama

3:19 pm

yeah...20 bags of cheetos for ren....a 3 day supply

3:19 pm

*sigh* if only, chj -- the manufacturer of this home declared bankruptcy six months after we bought it. This last winter we discovered that the skylight in the office was leaking and rather than dripping into the room going down the slope to the wall. Dry rot in several places. I think it was leaking the whole time. But it wasn't discovered soon enough for us to make a claim before the court-imposed deadline several years ago.

3:19 pm

I am really angry. Will post pics on my blogs later... right now, it's groceries. Whattaya need, ren? CHOCOLATE, and then?

I'm from Minnesota, so I should root for the Twins and take joy in their recent two victories over the White Sox...on the other hand, I'm still ticked at them for subverting State law to get the state to spend money for a stadium without a taxpayer referendum (which would most certainly lose) What to do?

3:35 pm

defensive gem by jeter

3:47 pm

sports center web gem material

3:48 pm

thank goodness for a small grid today. I'm still suffering exhaustion yesterday.

3:48 pm

kkiln, plural of the sa 4/7.

3:48 pm

any clues for the di 7 and di8?

3:48 pm

the last sa's all work off the root of keeping things

3:49 pm

don't know how I overlooked that....thanks!

3:49 pm

Ever since Jeter made that play in the World Series where he caught the cut off coming over the first base line and made the flip to the catcher, it's no fun hating the Yankees anymore...

3:49 pm

di7 to deman someone in the hood + to keep things

3:50 pm

*demean

3:50 pm

thanks! you are a great clue giver chj

3:51 pm

yanks losing their lead ...8-1

3:52 pm

what inning, chj?

3:52 pm

btw, chj, with faerie's help I managed to get Lickety's to open in a sidebar next to the grid. But it wasn't easy!

3:52 pm

I dunno Douglas, I still derive pleasure from hatin' them... in a friendly way, of course.

3:53 pm

You own the money, you control the witness, I hear youre lonely - dont monkey with my business You pay the profits to justify the ******s

3:53 pm

CJ -why wasn't it easy? Do you use IE??

3:54 pm

Probably will get a fish.....but I need NA 4/4-- the one after the na 5/10

3:54 pm

is it worth it cj...i mean i open licketys in a separate window then tile vertically and reisize so that licketys is a thin strip on the left and i have plenty of room for the grid and can still keep an eye on the chat

3:54 pm

No I have Firefox but I needed to download the sidebar and then get Lickety's to come up in that window. A couple of times I accidentally ended up with the grid over there. But it's great. Only thing is my monitor is small and I lose the chat when I have both of them up and running.

3:54 pm

yankees fading fast....8-2

3:54 pm

like your mama, kk - just sub n's

3:55 pm

Sounds like you have it covered, chj. May not be worth it to set up the sidebar.

3:55 pm

wow - I have always had it up in a sidebar - and I can still see chat - much to my detriment. ;-)

3:55 pm

Fish for me....thanks Wolvie....embarassingly I got fireworks!

So all units of all currencies are fair game, like the cupronickel coin of Pakistan, last issued in 1960

4:10 pm

:0 Douglas said a word!

4:10 pm

And all gods of all religions are fair game too. The dictionary is prejudiced against just about all gods except the Greek ones...

4:10 pm

oh the horror of it all =0

4:12 pm

It's my understanding that in Hinduism they have something like 83 gazillion gods. Of course, some of them have relatively small responsibilities...

4:12 pm

thanks ak and cj!!!!

4:12 pm

welcome Rennie!

4:13 pm

so 5/12 anyone?

7:07 pm

nut do you have sponsers?

the shake is your booty the rattle is the snake and the roll is the ball

7:08 pm

snake is team, rattle the pins, roll the ball

9:07 pm

They watched the animals stretch their legs for a while, then headed out to check the state of the fields.

9:07 pm

Yes, Harp's right there - the Japanese immigrants come from there. (Sounds like a weird Latin ending for a volume of a magazine.)

9:07 pm

do6/21 please

9:07 pm

Fortunately, not much damage had been done in the storm a couple nights earlier, and the grain was almost dry enough to harvest. Another day or two, opined Adam.

9:08 pm

do 6 is the person doing the do 4

9:08 pm

eva, the top i is apparent beside all pros' names

Paul shuddered, remembering...

9:11 pm

Eva - there are 2 io6/21s/ One is the plural of the io5/12, the others ends in 3 letters that sound like the things you see with.

9:11 pm

di7\44

9:11 pm

And caught Adam's quizzical look out of the corner of his eye.

9:11 pm

Adam moved closer, and put an arm around Paul's shoulder.

9:12 pm

dilly - di7/44 & adj. 8 mean 'to take money from one's bank account'.

9:12 pm

"John, I bet the twins are big enough to beat you to the tree," Adam challenged.

9:12 pm

Hiya Babblers I finally finished.

9:12 pm

di 7/44 - di4/5 + *** maria - di 8 add the snake

9:12 pm

Not a normal phrase though, filly! Think English princess (Charles's 1st wife) and then think 'English princess resecues'.

9:12 pm

"Ready Set Go!" hollered the twins, and off they went.

9:13 pm

*dilly (not 'filly'!)

9:14 pm

YAY FaerieKAE!!!! interrupt me ANY time!!!!

9:14 pm

Jacula-thanks for the hint, but I'm stumped. I've tried the aes and ais endings and neither seems to get me anywhere. Doesn't really matter anyway because I have 44 left to find and am too tired to go for it.

9:14 pm

He steered Paul toward home.

9:14 pm

Don't worry, faerie. (And WELL DONE ON FINISHING!) I'll clue while Stid tells the story.

"What's this I hear about some sort of magic cure for Doris?"

9:20 pm

i've been in and out today. not helpful in giving clues, and finally got some time w/o interruptions to finish! whew! and it's story time! yeah!

9:20 pm

Adam nodded, and they walked on a bit further.

9:20 pm

o+ double cons. = vowel for the 4/4

9:21 pm

magzel - os4/4 (2nd) is a word for 'bones' and also a mountain in Eastern Greece.

9:21 pm

that should read + a vowel on the end

9:21 pm

oh, and Hi everyone...*grabs comfy chair and settles in*

9:22 pm

"I met so many people on my travels, Father. A kind woman learned of Nan's affliction and wanted to repay me for some small thing I had done. She offered me a vial of healing water from a well near her home."

9:22 pm

2nd os5/10 - change a cons in the 1st one

9:22 pm

9:24 pm

hohohodag!

9:24 pm

wow , a wedding in upper Michigan and I missed it. Congratulations

9:24 pm

Hi Ping! Charm, most of it is easy, some odd words here and there

A cool breeze blew across the fields, kicking up a bit of dust and chaff.

9:25 pm

**hodag, congratulations on the wedding of your child!**

9:25 pm

hello LB!

9:25 pm

If anyone wonders why I am up here in UK at 3.23am, apart from it being a holiday day... earlier I found one of my old rabbits, who is a stroke survivor, suffering from 'Flystrike'. He's seeing the vet in the morning, but I do wonder if he will survive the night. And then, I went onto another of my regular forums to chec on the health of a member who collapsed on her way to work last week, only to discover she died in the early hours of Friday morning. Suffice it to say, I am feeling rather shocked and more than a little 'down'.

9:26 pm

os 4/4 is os plus snake letter plus vowel. Other os 4/4 is os + ending of black pavement t** Andree.

9:26 pm

Paul shrugged. "I have seen, since I returned, that Nan's affliction doesn't keep her from enjoying life."

9:26 pm

9:32 pm

I'll google it Jacula, it sounds familiar.

9:32 pm

we've ahd a multitude of clues for the an8 lately! Scroll down and take your pick, anyone looking!

9:32 pm

Jac, the website i just read said it can happen to even the most caring owner. (((hugs)))

9:33 pm

9:33 pm

Paul laughed. "Well, he can make up for it by running ahead and getting a bucket of water for John and you to freshen up."

thanx for the ve's...I need both os 5/10

9:33 pm

He pushed Otto ahead, and they walked up to the yard.

9:33 pm

Phan, 2nd one is like the drive in or what a jet does when it breaks air speed

9:34 pm

I have a friend who had a house rabbit called 'Mrs Hopkins'

9:34 pm

phan - so5/14 - containing salt. so5/12 - the kind of 'boom' that happens when an aircraft breaks the spped of sound, or think of that wretched Hedgehog gameboy etc., game.

9:35 pm

funny name, Jill--cute

9:35 pm

Meantime, Anna and Gilly had finished the dishes and started making a cake for the afternoon tea in between holding the baby and letting the cat in and out. Nan came back home after a while with a plate of cookies.

9:35 pm

"Grammy said that we are invited to luncheon today to celebrate Doris getting well."

9:36 pm

She sat down, and Anna handed Sarah to her.

9:36 pm

1st os5/10 adds a vowel in the penultimate position to the 4/4, 2nd one changes a cons

9:36 pm

I had a History teacher called MISS Hopkins. We never got to learn about WWII from her as she broke down and left the room every time she tried to go into detail (she was a great one for going off the point and telling us real stories to bring the periods alive); her fiance was a pilot who was killed in WWII.

9:37 pm

1st 2 si's pls

9:37 pm

Nan and Sarah shared a cookie while their mothers conversed about jams and jellies, and ways to soothe a teething baby.

Doris was eagerly helping Grammy with preparations for luncheon, while Polly and Meg copied recipes from the family collection to put into their "someday" books.

9:40 pm

9:41 pm

"Hello Mother," sang out Gilly, "Father and Paul will be here soon. They wanted to put the animals back in their stalls."

9:43 pm

Silly jilli! I meant as a family, not name by name!

9:44 pm

Sarah was playing with the vial that was hanging, now empty, from Nan's neck. It was just the right shape and size for her to gum at the edges, and just big enough that she couldn't swallow it.

9:44 pm

rock one is to set an illegal fire

9:44 pm

9:45 pm

I've been waiting for someone to come up with 'silly jilly' !

9:45 pm

9:45 pm

9:45 pm

(But that would be redundant, Jill!)

9:48 pm

As they were returning to the corral, they noticed the large bird circling overhead. Paul turned pale.

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

2 more co4's

9:48 pm

Hi,Kry"s

9:49 pm

Yay! I am done, and off to bed; nite

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

Adam looked at Paul. He lit his pipe and stood aside as Paul entered the enclosure...

9:49 pm

9:50 pm

jac - s'pose you're right...

9:50 pm

no problem Phan glad to be able to help

9:50 pm

hodag, your kitty is just beautiful!

9:50 pm

The bird watched intently as Paul moved quietly to the donkey which was ignoring everything but the tough weed growing at the edge of the corral.

9:50 pm

Goodnight to those who are leaving. Sleep well.

9:50 pm

co 4's--I have fish, currency, and price/s--what else?

9:51 pm

Got one--

9:51 pm

Paul reached for the donkey's halter and pulled. Reluctantly, the little creature left its treasure and walked out of the corral.

9:51 pm

scrabbler, double the snake letter, an transpose the last to letters in the money

9:51 pm

co4 (after the currency) - anagram of the word. Think of to 'dupe' + a personal pronoun.

9:52 pm

anagram of the money, and co + double snake

9:52 pm

The bird sat, watching. Adam puffed on his pipe, watching.

9:52 pm

it seems i missed some brilliant finishers - sorry and congrats to all!!!!

9:52 pm

TY! C's are done. 11 to go

9:52 pm

Paul handed the donkey to Adam and straightened up as tall as he could.

9:52 pm

go scrabbler

9:52 pm

Next co4/5 sounds like a lettuce or a Greek island, but has a double consonant ending.

9:53 pm

"Father, I will be over to luncheon soon. Would you ask Nan to join me here?"

9:53 pm

Adam nodded, watching the bird as he walked off, keeping his thoughts and his doubts to himself.

9:53 pm

Paul stood at the edge of the corral, then turned to the bird.

9:53 pm

night all........

9:54 pm

Bowing deeply, he said, "You are most welcome here."

9:54 pm

night, hodag

9:54 pm

Got it jac

9:54 pm

night hodag

9:54 pm

Goodbye hodag! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log!

9:54 pm

(Dr_God's 'about:config' change max thingummy whatsit to 20' advice seems to be working so far re not getting the 'unresponsive script' message in Firefox on this site.)

9:54 pm

The bird sailed off its perch, wings of rainbow hues flashing brilliantly,

9:55 pm

yeah, it worked for me when i started using firefox with ironsudoku

9:55 pm

*do you think it was a phoenix? how exciting!*

9:55 pm

As the talons hit the ground, they were covered by the feathers, which shifted and formed a long, exquisite cloak.

9:55 pm

but then i switched back to safari anyway

9:56 pm

night, hodag - and that beautiful blue eyed siamese

9:56 pm

The long, slender neck and raven-black tresses of the head framed a face with brilliant eyes and pale cheeks.

9:56 pm

good night hodag

hi everyone! : )

9:57 pm

hello TO

9:57 pm

we really are into fantasy here...

9:57 pm

Such wonderfully vociferous and expressive cats are Siamese. Very sensitive, too. Same applies to Persians, though they are more tacit, normally relying on eye contact and body language.

9:57 pm

hi TO!

9:57 pm

The figure bowed to Paul and put its head on its side.

9:57 pm

Hi Temple Owl! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:58 pm

Nan came slowly across the yard, keeping one hand on the rail that traced the paths.

9:58 pm

Paul and the figure watched her approach.

first ai 4/4 and ci 4/5(not sure which)..pls

9:58 pm

When things get desperate (in the Persian cat's mind) they can be as vociferous as Siamese.

9:58 pm

Paul met Nan at the gate and picked her up.

9:58 pm

Hi TO.

9:58 pm

"I have someone for you to meet, Nan."

9:59 pm

Her face turned excitedly toward the center of the corral. "Who is it, Father?"

9:59 pm

ai 4/4 is ai plus single hump letter plus snake letter and ci 4/5 is a growth in your body or c plus a particle.

9:59 pm

rock - 1st ai4 means 'to help or as6/18'.

9:59 pm

rock...like hearing ai**

9:59 pm

rock...like hearing ai**

10:00 pm

*excuse my burp! blush*

10:00 pm

rock - 2nd ai4 (if that's what you really need) is Scottish for 'our owns'.

just started..

10:00 pm

A strong but not unpleasant voice replied, "I am the giver of gifts and the receiver of woes. I bring light and dark. I create and destroy."

10:00 pm

'Our ai* folk!'

10:01 pm

Nan turned to the voice and patted her father's shoulder. "Please put me down," she whispered.

10:01 pm

She stood and took a few steps in the direction of the voice.

10:01 pm

This story of Stid's is getting spooky now!

10:02 pm

She curtsied, a little awkwardly.

10:02 pm

an5, 10--I have the fennel one, and the trick one

10:02 pm

"Greetings, great one," she began, then hesitated.

10:02 pm

done. clues before I go?

10:03 pm

"Are you the child to whom the vial was given?" responded the figure.

10:03 pm

an5/10 = against - pl.

10:03 pm

Congratulations Charm on your fireworks! Hooray for U

10:03 pm

whoo hoo Charm!

10:03 pm

"Yes, I am. Thank you, Gracious One."

10:03 pm

YAY CHARM!!!!

10:03 pm

"Then why," demanded the figure, taking a step forward, "Can you not see?"

10:03 pm

ty ty - ' with a little help from my friends....'

10:04 pm

Paul started forward, but a look from the bright eyes stopped him in his tracks.

10:04 pm

Already have that one Charm

10:04 pm

an5/10 - a herb that dogs love. an5/10 - a projecting end of Saturn's rings. an5/10 - 'againsts'.

10:04 pm

"Oh, I have a sister who needed it more. I hope this pleases you. Father said the vial was mine to do with as I chose."

10:05 pm

an5/10 = latin pl of the an4/4 before it?

10:05 pm

The figure fixed Paul in its unblinking stare. "You have a remarkable child."

10:05 pm

YES, TY Charm. 5 to go

10:05 pm

The Saturn clue has a singular, an4/4, that sounds like a solution. Just add a letter to the end of that to make a Latin ending.

10:06 pm

Paul nodded and bowed.

10:06 pm

Just the S's left-- I have to get organized

10:06 pm

The figure reached into the folds of the cloak and drew out a small casket which it held out to Paul.

10:07 pm

He stepped forward and grasped it firmly.

10:07 pm

I'm off to bed now. Catch the rest of the story on BabAnon, stid. And to the rest of you... Happy Babbling!

10:07 pm

"Come here, child," said the mysterious figure, "tell me what you see."

10:07 pm

Night, Jac. right behind you. have fun babbling and see y'all tomorrow.

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

Give bunny a kiss. My 4 bunnies send well wishes for recovery

good night, jacs. see you tomorrow.

10:08 pm

Nan shook her head, "I am sorry, I don't know what you mean."

10:08 pm

adieu. adieu. parting is such sweet - oh, you know the rest....

10:08 pm

Goodbye Charm! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log!

10:08 pm

The figure raised its arms -- wings? -- and blew a puff of bright pink air toward Nan.

10:09 pm

"Now what do you see?"

10:09 pm

Nan looked confused. "My eyes feel strange, kind stranger, there is a sparkly feeling in my heart."

10:10 pm

Paul looked in amazement at his child, but kept silent.

10:10 pm

The figure raised its arms a little further and blew a puff of yellow air toward Nan.

may i have a lcue for ai 6, please? ty.

10:11 pm

ai6 - the most of what we breathe (dumb word)

10:11 pm

She rubbed at her eyes. "This is very peculiar, Father!" she exclaimed, "There are up and down thoughts across my mind!"

10:11 pm

The figure put its arms out toward Nan and blew a puff of blue air.

I need the 2nd or 3rd ar 4/4(not sure which)..pls

10:12 pm

Nan gasped. She covered her eyes with her hands and started to cry.

10:12 pm

ar 4/4 is a plus to take a nap minus the last consonant.

sorry not ar..the an 4/4

10:13 pm

Paul moved to her side and picked her up. "Nan?"

10:13 pm

The figure stepped forward and embraced father and daughter and blew white air.

10:13 pm

there are 4 an4/4s

10:14 pm

*oooh don't cry Nan...*

10:14 pm

ditto, lb

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

Nan sobbed and the tears fell from her eyes. Paul started to tear up also, but the figure held them tight and quietly hummed a gentle song.

10:14 pm

Nan can see, Nan can see!!!!

10:14 pm

Got it--I thought I entered it hours ago

10:15 pm

Nan opened her eyes and looked at her father.

10:16 pm

the di 4/5 that has to do with noise

11:25 pm

debb - it is not immigrants, it is people born in us or canada - i know this for a true fact as many, many years ago, in a former lifetime, i used to frequent a bar called - of course -"nisei" - i went to play pool & was most always the only blonde & usually the only female in the joint - & when i say joint, i MEAN joint, lol

11:25 pm

io + what they throw to play craps except different second consonant

the other io sounds like the cubes you toss in a craps game but change the s

11:29 pm

11:29 pm

mayne girl is absolutely correct :)

11:29 pm

Helen first io - change the last consonant - it will sound rhapsodic to your ears!
