hi chic! hi muse!
nrk, it was supposed to be insect jewelry, but it was hijacked for steve irwin day.
i thought it was insect jewelry, but there seems to be a rogue crocodile hunter faction
Helen I'm curious....what are the chat rooms going crazy about?
ok, gonna go get mine
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
Go Clue Crazy - All up and a Showing!
someone came on early this am saying it was changed - thought it was a nice idea anyway
babbler is away, so it couldn't be officially changed.
I have icons for both, and was going to do the jewelry, but it seemed there was a strong sentiment for Steve Erwin ...
night min!!
night min
you're super lickety as ALWAYS!!!!
thanks sweet lickety - you're the best!!
everyone wants jedi-jani to win the competition that's going on right now for the big brother tv show - are you sorry you asked, mymus? :)

Good Evening, all

Thank you, Lickety!!!

i keep refreshing but it stays the same
Ok haven't watched it Helen
good for you ML, let's hope it goes to faster servers!
leslieann !!!!! i had a ladybug pin picked out as my icon for insect jewelry too - my mom always used to pin it on my navy blue coat when i was way, way little :))
Hi Cnan!, loved your holiday photos, very nice!
that would be wonderful
Flip I missed the flip
hi tiny!
funny that "rigot" isn't a word. thats how they say RICOTTA here in rhode island ;)
well i will remember it for when we redo insect jewelry day... for now, crikey!
saintfranny - try Shift Refresh
hey tiny!
mymus - chic, la, & some others here watch it, but i have the live feed, so i give a little update - only 2 more shows, almost over

bye fran!

bye fran...
hey stid!
hello stid!!
I'
hi stid
I'm torn between Toby and Magni
:( so weird lickety not working.
Hi ya Stid!
hello all
I like Lucas but I think Toby might just win it...
lucas is too weird
hi blaze
hi all, just stopping bye to see who's in and let you know we now have 44 people tallied in the Myers-Briggs at BabAnon...
i'm no a lucas fan
How are you now lickety
Hi Jilli, welcome back!
hi stid
Hi Stidmama
hi jilli
dilana blew it a couple weeks ago with her bitchiness
saintfranny, I sometimes have the same problem.. try closing that window, then clearing out your cookies
how many words elft does everyone have?
that will help with my page on occasion
stid i took a very looooooong compatability test tonight at first pre-marital counseling session
morning all.
how do you clear cookies metal?
i agree franny - and i think she could have one
leslie ann are you serious....??
are you compatible leslie?
shalom jaydee
And I tried, I really tried (spent over ten minutes trying to get the image to save and load...) to do the Steve Irwin theme, and it didn't work.
hello jaydee long time..
oh LeslieAnn -- and how did it go?
Yea I think Dilana is very good but probably to hard to handle for the 'boys' (and Tommy Lee is not wierd?)
38 289 Kahlua
Yes,Blaze, been playing on and off, hope u r well
Stid when I've run into that problem I save it to my PC then the image can upload for some reason
Tiny - i'm pretty good thanks, tired, but good. Thanks for asking!
yes tommy is weird, but lukas... i think it's just cuz he looks like Clint Howard
guess I'd better change icons to the Croc Hunter
Hi Jaydee!
yep, not a cheesy one, just stuff like what we wanted out of the marriage etc. Basically they tell you what could be a problem down the road. don't get results for a few weeks
come on K
saint... I use a program called WinPatrol (free) that takes care of it
hope you're taking it easy lickety
tr 7
jaydee I am good
Dilly - how you doin?
ooh, nice one nan
the trick of that is that you have to make sure you don't clear ones you want to keep
time up only 27
me too,been a crazy summer here.
already timed in kiddo
ok thanks metal
I think Lucas looks like a very young Marlon Brando...
I tried that, muse... like I said. Over ten minutes and my computer would not save the image!
dilly - I'm back with a borrowed monitor from the library
hi Nan!
good for you
So I did my icon up in crocodilian colors instead
vw saint... failing that, I go through and remove the old stuff manually... it's a pain, but it works
yay jilli
so sincere, Kahlua
omg chic. no offense, but NO Way. marlon was a Hottie when he was young
metal and saintfranny - new list normally clears the old cookies for the clues. If the new clues are up, then it must have had a malfunction
uh metaleather ?
Marlon was a hottie when he was old!
yes?
that's my point franny; Lucas is hot!
dilly are yu still with us?
LOL - uh, i want to ask you this politely, um, but are you on ritalin?
speed?
some kinda amphetamines?
um... guess we'll agree to disagree chic. ;)
no, just good old store brand cola
why?
LOL helen and metaleather!
i just read your bio- whew- your icon looked intersting & now 1/2 an hour later- how the heck do you find the time to doall that stuff ?!?!?!
thanks for your help lickety. will have my brainiac computer whiz hubby take a look at it in the morning
works for me, franny! LOL
i am exhausted just from reading it - OMG !!!!
*all of babbledom goes to metaleather's profile*
LOL helen - i pulled up metal's bio too - i minimized it to read later, there's so much! haha. looks interesting metal! :)
that bio is ..... the result of many passes at compiling it for another game site.... I just copy/pasted it for here
true, hk
brb, phone
not me... I have minds of my own!!!! LOL
is that kind of like your own personalities, stid? ;)
Where is my family *piteous cries*
How many words does everyone need still?
i need 59
30 left for me, leslie
I'm stuck at 38 words; I still need 32
well, meta - it's not the mere fact that you wrote it, although i must say i am admiring that feat too - it's the ungodly amount of stuff you're involved in - i feel like a great big slug now & i think i'm pretty active HAHAHAHA ROFL!!!
29
I need 39
I need 56 still, but I am supposed to be a asleep...

ROFL

I can babble and ignore the children (usually)...
whew just reading metal's profile made me tired
now see stid - that's what i consider might talented :)
oprah winfrey's in the grid
LOL saph - join the club!
I'm really sad the "exy" isn't used in a word.
ok, metaleather's profile just officially cracked me up
like "hexy" or "nexy"
hi gail!

lol thanks metal and Ata. Morning matty Babblets are uncommon words that don't look real
ohhhhhh, like the ri6/24
yes just like that
Care to clue the ri6/24 then?
ri6/24 a tear, and a type of music
ri6 = to tear + a modern form of er "music"?
OK, that's a stupid word! And I agree with you Fi!

Broken up concrete on shorelines, that ri word...
Short the gird may be...but it's tough!
yup matty, much harder than yesterdays.
PO7???
I'm struggling. I have 15 words, and nothing longer than that weird six.
clues for the po7 plse?
In fact, the weird six is the only word longer than a 5 I have.
moonshine
And now the Moonshine I have.
zoom.... think irish moonshine
yay, thnx atalante:)
...and metaleather!
I could have clued that more obviously I guess, but I just love the word moonshine!
I got it from your clue, Ata - so it worked for me :D
much more intriguing than sunshine
has all those exciting undertones
the other 7 - you might need 3 bits of clues
Yes? Do go on, Ata?
still stuck on moonshine...
that was the clue :P
Ahhhh. Got it!
Thanks. Clever clogs, you are
Oooh - I'm in the dictionary. After a fashion. Or rather, my immigration status is.
are you officially English now, matty, or have you still got a US passport? being nosey :)
US. I could get an English. But I'd have to take a test. And get everything together. I've just not bothered. Even though I've been here 18 years.
I have indefinite leave.
ew. tests. bad idea
A Britishness test.
I would love to see what sort of questions they ask.
and if a Brit took the test, I wonder how they would fare?
May I ask what prompted your transplantation?
I remember when they introduced the tes, the BBC took a test out onto the streets and loads of people didn't know the answers
I suspect FMitch, they'd do about as well as many US citizens would on the US test :o)
Harpies everywhere, I keep seeing harpy
so do I!
I married an Englishman. Someone had to :D
Fireworks, and off to bed
whoopeee flosey!
'night
LOl matty, I tried it once but that was enough.
thanks metaleather see you all tomorrow
Hah! I'll be 18 years next month
congrats on that matty
indeed, that's a milestone in this day and age
You get less than that for murder ;)
much less!
I'm at the halfway mark - and appear to be stuck. I have both sevens and two of the sixes
I've fifteen left... and am not progressing with any noticeable degree of speed
2 x r6 1 x e6 1 x h6
Good morning all - just arrived and to another small grid.
OK, I have one of the r6s and the e6 - so it's the other to find
hello Haz, welcome to the party.
Small but tough, Haz"
Welcome!
Good morning Haz, it is a small one but not so easy as yesterdays.
hi Haz!
small but tough - sounds like a description of the man I wouldn't like to marry.
Ha! I dated one like that, many years ago. He was 5'3"
But you didn't marry him!
Nope - common sense prevailed.
For the final 6 - I have the weird ri (the shingle) - can you give me the second letter of the other?
was he a brit too?
Never mind. Got it
No - he was American
He was the tallest in his family
I felt like Gulliver in the land of Lilliput
not surprised!
He had the short man's complex, as well.
I'm 5'7", I should add
It's not that I'm tall myself (5'1'') but small, bullish men are not my type. They usually have pit bull terriers as pets.
No, Michael didn't. He was into all things Japanese - swords in particular.
oh dear. short and swords sounds bad
In a big way.
Oh good grief - small, tough and armed.
Because of Michael, I can now count to 10 in Japanese.
He had a sword cane
And used to tell the story about how he supposedly disarmed muggers with it.
This was back in the late 80s
I am 6' and my ex was 6' 7"
And has the ability to count to ten in Japanese ever come in handy?
Gosh, FMitch, you are tall!
Well...
Funnily enough Haz that is what I said to my ex the first time I met him!
I was at the Hofbrauhaus in Munich, and sitting at a table with a bunch of Americans, two Scottish Welders, and a couple of Japanese gentlemen
I suppose he had never heard anyone else saying it! It's not very original, I know...
The welders were trying to explain to the Japanese what they did for a living.
The Japanese guys spoke no English, and neither did the Scots - partly because of their accents, but mostly because the were absolutely mullahed.
(Or is it mullered? You know what I mean, anyway).
Rats, must cut and run, have to get to the bank before parking becomes a nightmare, back in a bit
So this explanation involved loads of diagrams, and shouting. I mentioned I could count to 10 in Japanese.
So the AMericans told me to.
one to go and it's a tr5/14 - any clues plse?
The Japanese expressed relief and admeration.
Bladdered would be how the Scots would describe themselves. See you later FMItch - it's RDA today again.
And started speaking to me in Japanese.
RDA - Richard Dean Anderson?
tr5/14 - extend the tr4/6 by a vowel
Riding for the Disabled, matty.
Oooh. That's different.
you're a lifesaver haz, fireworks at last - thnx:)
I've been involved with our local group for many years. I used to do sidewalking but have now found my true niche and I make the tea and coffee!
You're welcome zoom!
good morning everybody:)
Good morning jean!
good evening everyone
hi andree
Hello Andree - another shortish grid today.
good morning and or evening all arriving, goodnight and or goodbye all departing, congratulations all fireworking
not easy though
That about covers everyone, metaleather!
No, Andree, I despaired after about four words but I have discovered some more. There still can't be 70 though.
I could be here all night
I try Haz... dont want to slight anyone just because I'm off wandering the chat log or delving into the grid
You'll know we're offended when we start talking about you - 'That metaleather - never says hello to anyone'
if teeny and weeny are allowed, why not eeny!
LOL

eeny is short and tough.

I'm starting to think of all the different sorts of pa5/16 there are here. ar4/6 for the bohemians, he6/27 for the sports playing, outdoor living types, ta5/14 for the women with questionable dress sense. Are there others?
hi M3
don't think so, Haz (or at least I haven't got them yet if there are!)
Ha!

ex5/22 - someone living far from home, ex4/10, a display on a grand scale, ex5/20, Oliver Twist's request, ne4/9- ladies clothes shop or the one at the head of the queue
M3 - I've just noticed that I can't even spell fourth - that's how smart I am!

Hi all - what a stinker grid
Hi Ang
hi ang!
morning alll (Yaaawn)
mornin' arlene
Ang...how's my icon pic? It isn't meant to be disrespectful even though it is whimsical.
hi arlene!
ML, what is it? it's not loading for me
it's sort of a caricature of Steve Erwin, with a crocodile
Nothing would be disrespectful of Steve. He'd laugh I reckon. Who's going to wear khaki tomorrow for the international memorial day?
i think i may have seen it in my google search ML, nothing wrong with that.
Ang,,,,didn't hear about that ...but I will
Fran, if you do a Google Image search, you'll see it in the first row of pics that come up
I'll now have to change my icon - seeing you all seem to know who he is. Amazing something us down unda have exported.
metal, I think it's nice....and so like him
I am so glad we took our kids to Australia Zoo last year. Didn't see him but!
ML, just steve irwin?
tarp
that's what I put in
oops..... sorry , maybe I should gop vak to bed

hi exwren!
hi exwren
hi exwren

Nice sunny day here, but a bit chilly

Hi Anne,
a group of folks last night decided to have a Steve Erwin tribute icon day (albeit unofficially)
That's cool. I'm from Baton Rouge - though i live in Lafayette now.
I'm going to leave the icon up most of the day, then swith to the insect jewelry one when I wake up this afternoon
cool.... how'd you end up over there?
when asked what his favourite childhood tv programme was steve irwin replied thunderbirds, although he sed he always had a place in his heart for stingray!!
crude!
hardyhar.
im from aus and there are tributes everywhere
is it true the government want him to have a state funeral?
lots of kids especially are upset, they know him from the wiggles
yes but his family have said no
be back shortly, I have beans cooking and need to check on them
I heard he was getting a state funeral because he was director of the National Zoo
such a legend!
not the national zoo, australia zoo is a zoo owned by steve
they have pulled all the advertising that has him in it
Got it. It's just very sad. My ten year old sister has to write a reader's response to a newspaper article every week for school - and the one she wrote this week was in response to the article about his dying. It's so sad watching her try to deal with the death of someone she "grew up with".
well i better go now, hope you all have fun
Take it easy, Beast.
cya
can I get some help with the e's plese
e5/10 left over or more than needed

Fireworks! Does anyone need any clues before I go?
congrats eva! just signed on to your good news. :-)
man - with these small grids I am getting a nervous feeling for a real bomb soon....
Hi Wolvie! How are things in your neck of the woods this morning? Think of these little ones as making up for the killers we had last week. Now the universe is balanced.
Time to go an pick tomatoes.
hee - I'll try, eva. As for my area - beautiful yesterday and today, although a bit soggy.
bye and have fun, eva!
We've been soggy too for a long time. But we're lucky-no drought and no heat wave. See you later.
wow the grid even has oprah!
hello, congratulations and goodbye to all who came, arrived and are/were departing while I was checking on the beans
hi and bye, metal!
It also has TYRA!
ok...Kiddies are all off safely ensconsed in a big yellow bus which will take them away for an entire day...I am so giddy
lol, wurdy
they are so funny though I play for about ten minutes in the morning and they yell out all these words...am I raising them right or what
sounds like it. :-)
well, that's a new one for me--po7 is moonshine!
ok people....lets get serious...I need some e's. I have the one that is almost a planet
expo
sorry guys
good morning lynx, and thanks! :-)
gi4/6 clues anyone
thanks though I needed that one
do you have the ex that's a person living outside their native country?
I do now thank you
gi4 sounds like a word for a "submarine" sandwich
but it means a type of check, or a type of aircraft
the second gi4.... is "circumference" minus the last letter
got both now! ty

Is the ri6/24 a recognizable word?

Inge - try - tear + type of music currently v popular
thanks lynxxxx.. was looking at the right first word, but every possible word other than that!
the ri is also a term for rocks used as erosion control...
not getting the popular music clue

that is cause you don't likeit, i'm sure inge.. and never listen to it
or 'knock' on a door
i taught for years in an inner city, heard it plenty

241 left...I feel I am going to have to break out the list
"a quantity of broken stone for foundations" well, well.

that was my clue, inge2 :-) actually used for erosion control, tho.
i acatually did hear that word in a another life time...maybe in a geology class or something
i was a general contractor for years - used the stuff a lot. :-)

I do this before I have to run errands, clean, cook, Bible study etc.
Are you getting all settled in?
I'm trying to visit with my Mom at least every other day and I just love it. I did have to take her to the ER a week or so ago she had a terrible UTI infection but other than that Kentucky is being very good to me
I'm still not moved into my house I'll be doing that the last week of this month and the 1st week of Oct
Oh sorry to hear about the UTI - those are horrible. It is so good that you are close enough to visit again though
How is the job going?

hi all!
Hi, just 3 left to find, any clues please Ra4/5 Ri6/24 and Tr5/12 Thanks
I don't talk much while working the puzzle, but I would like to thank everyone for their excellent clues.
Hi Stid and TQ and Mom
Good morning ..
hi abe
Hi torgone
hi Tor
Hi Abe
good morning all
tr 5/12 is an archaic plural of the 4/5 before it
ri 6/24 is a compound word- to tear + to bust a rhyme
Hello ABe
I'm back again
Hi lady!
good morning Tor!
hi lady
tough grid today
I got to halfway at the flip -- should I hit a list now or later?
abe, why do you have ants in your icon? *wondering if they are chocolate ants...*
i would wait, Stidmama, i 'm actually listless today and, with the help of our fellow babblers, it's not too bad
guys, i like one word and then fireworks..it it the ra6/21 and i cna't fine the dinasour so could someone please give me an easy clue...I have looked all through my library and can't find it.PLEASE
Must be contagious Abe
thanks abe. I did manage listless yesterday...
today is 'insect jewelry' day, so those are my ant brooches
button, think of the small vicious pack hunting dinos in the Jurassic Park movies
Buttonman: I think you are looking for the eagles and vulture birds...
Button- what eminem does for a living + first part of ms. spelling
its also a word for certain birds of prey, like hawks and falcons
FINISHEDDDDDD WOOOOOOOO!
oh! okay :-) I seem to be half a step behind people more days than not...
YAY srmw!
eagles and vultures are more carrion eaters
buttonman, think about what you do with a gift, with pretty paper
see, i didn't know the birds of prey part, i thought it was just a dinosaur. babbles teaches us so much!
See *velocira****"
it actually stems from the latin word for thief, I think
now that this is finished, off to do housework -- see everyone tomorrow
congrats to you Mom!
bye mom
later Mom (and a belated YAY)
"eeny" is SO a wurd... humph! *stomps foot and sucks on thumb*
sorry guys I still can't find these last 3
Do you need a timeout, stid?
Stid- the annoying thing is that 'teeny' is a word, but not 'eeny'
NO! *throws chocalte at Tor to confuse him and runs back into the grid*
LOL!
TQ- the same three from before?
yes abe sorry, I just can't see them
TQ, the RI 6/24 is a three letter word meaning to tear (as opposed to cut), followed by a type of "spoken music" that teenagers seem to enjoy with a booming beat
got the ri thanks
hi everyone! : )
ra 4/5- the 'spoken music' + a consonant
hi TO!
don't know why I didn't see it before
hi Temple
Heya TO
hi temple
TQ- still missing the tr 5/12? it rhymes with ra 4/5

i thought it was bootleg or po7
not familiar with the po7 - can you expound on that clue?
i'm with u ladynoir
po7: 1. the first distillation of a fermented mash in the making of whiskey. 2. illicitly distilled whiskey. Google it.
chj posted this clue earlier - po7 majijuana + charley s****
try googling "irish moonshine" (that's what i did)
Oh,geez! I was following the tr down to the right.*hanging head in shame*
Ahh, ok - I will have to ask some of my friends about that term - never heard it before
google is a very helpful babble tool when you have a clue and are still stuck.

Heya smaller
afternoon musicmom, smaller, torg.... and all
well hellloooo, torgone! i saw a "torgi" babbler the other day. are you related?
hey mamabear!
Very embarassing, but can't find the ta 5/12. Any clues?
No relation - I saw a torgo the other day as well ..
torg, oooo you have a fan club!
ta5/12 is a long snouted animal
but there's only ONE REAL Torgone
mkl - ta + P**ates of the Carribean
Hero worship is the sincerest form of flattery ..
Knew it was right there in front of me. I even know what it means. Thanks again.
since you're my hero, can you help me with the first 2 ex words, oh great one?
Actually Torgo is a character in a reallly old, really really bad movie ...
ahh, you must mean Manos the Hands of Fate
ex5/22 is an emigre
what were those people thinking? It's much more palatable when you see the MST3K version, but even so...
That's the one, jaime ..
ex4/10 is a display, like a world's fair ..
my husband loves Torgo, but I can't stand im.
WOW! wtg Jaime!! Torgone, Renny and Jaime are clones!
who is my clone?
okay all - time for naked twister
jaime, other babblers with same wealth of movie knowledge. you rock
ahh. Well, thank you! :) I think I married into it.
I owned 4 DVDs when I married my husband and now we have 350. I think you see where I get it :)
or somethign similar to help shake up my mind to find the last 6 words...
and yes, we do have the MST3K Manos... I'm ashamed to admit it.

Bye Mama
I will keep the collection for re-use the next time we play....just picked up mama's thong, and what a view!
does anyone have the po 7/36?
bye mama
I have the other 7
gobraves, great idea on the game!
po 7/36...the first distillation of a fermented mash in the making of whiskey.
thanks smaller....gotta shake things up now and then
TY slipslob - feel dumb for missing that one!
hmm, I'm not familiar with that slipslob. anything other clues?
yeah, i ferment whiskey like all the time
google Irish moonshine
...hic....
well that was more than a barrel of babblers!
great! thanks torgone and slipslob!
I'll go start the coffee....
ugh. my last word is the ri 6. it's ridiculous!
It's rocks used for landscaping purposes jaime
missing on R word, i have: ra4 6 ra4 5 ra6 21 ra4 5 ra5 12 ri4 4 ri6 24 ro4 4 ry4 7
you need the last ra 4/4
I need the RA5 too...
ri 6/24......another word for tear + type of music
any hints?
evanadine, it's a rodent plus the circular vowel
thanks!
ra 5 - add a vowel to the ra 4/5
Gadget if you have the ra 4/5 just before it it's the same word with a vowel on the end
gotta go guys...be good
what kind of type of music? :)
Later Braves
down to my last 8 words, all Ts -- 4 from the left, 4 from the right. i have: ta4 5 ta4 4 ta5 14 th4 5 th4 7 to4 6 tr5 14 tr4 5 tr5 12 tr4 6 tr4 5 tr7 32 ty4 6 ty4 6
think snoop dog jaime
yay! fireworks. Thanks Braves!
faerekae - need the other one I think...
ta5/12 - a type of animal, ta4/5 shortened version of canvas type thing
ty 4/6.....town in UK, **** & wear
Another th4/5
Hooray jaime!
Congrats Jamie
ti4/4
Another to4/4
ti 4/4 - a type of pen but change the first letter.
Gadget do you have the ra 6 ?
tr5/14 puts a vowel on the end of the maths sounding tr4/6
Oh...maybe that's the one I need...
ok could someone dumb down the po7 clue. i googled the alcohol thing, and ...well....could someone please enable my analyis shortcomings?
did any one get more than 2 pr's?
pr4/5 = sounds like the front end of a ship but spellt with 2 vowels at the end.
smaller - the po7 is a variant spelling of a more familiar word - it's how the Irish make alcohol from potatoes. Use the first three letters of the vegetable, the ending of Miss o'Hara's name and the initial of my name in between
pr4/5 = pr**fall (a type of slapstick) or sounds like fr** where a group of young college men gather to drink and er, play twister, and otherwise make life interesting for their neighbors.
smaller, po7 weed- not she- add 2nd vowel and consonant
*whew* ok, now im just missing the Ts -- 2 from the left, one from the right. i have: ta5 12 ta4 5 ta4 4 ta5 14 th4 5 th4 5 th4 7 ti4 4 to4 6 to4 5 tr5 14 tr4 5 tr5 12 tr4 6 tr5 14 tr4 5 tr7 32 ty4 6 ty4 6
I'm going nuts with the RA6 and the HO5...maybe I should take a break!
haz and chic, may dr.god rain a glittering shower of gold on you. Thanks!
ho5 is the adjective relating to the ho4/5 - a type of frost
ra6 - think jurassic park
I have those 2 pr's charm, just wonndering if there is a third? because it says my p's are all done...
Gadget - I only have one ra6 = a bird of prey (or a type of fericious dino velocira****)
Where's all this glittering shower of gold coming from?
ho5 - think paris hilton
hah, tor!
haz, wow! he does lurk all the time
pr4/7 = don't be a pr** and hog all the gold.
ri 6/24 clue please!
thankx, charm! I see the light!
LOL - thanks guys. Good old Paris...
You better believe it, smaller!
The dog is sitting here, ignoring me great disdain as I repeat not to eat his squeaky toy. sigh
evanadine - there are two to4 words right beside each other after the plural roman robe. to4/5 is a type of antelope (summit plus vowel) then to4/4 (either Miss Spelling or an anagram of the unruly ri4/4)
Just realised you're missing the plural roman robe (add a vowel for the latin plural) to4/14
Do you have the group of three? tr4/4 after tr5/14
ri6/24 - a combination word, along the lines of riff-raff. Replace the double f with a green vegetable sounding letter.
OR ri6/24 = tear apart + I heard a *** *** ***ping at my door....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*FIREWORKS!!!!!!!*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~
thanks haz!
Well done!!!
yay, evaN
You're welcome evanadine!
T/Y Haz.. I have been trying to get that po7 for ages..Just seen your clue..Would never have got it
hello all i need a clue for tr 7 please
I'm glad it helped jeannie - I've never seen that spelling before. Mind you, round here they just call it 'wee still'
Does anyone here use StumbleUpon? If so, are you up for a little Babble evangelizing? :) If you don't know what StumbleUpon is, it's a browser plug-in that allows you to rate sites with a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" vote, and can use it to find random sites that other users have rated highly. It's a great way to find new sites. So if you're bored, go get StumbleUpon and give Babble a thumbs up. :) http://www.stumbleupon.com/
mag\el - think of the word in three sections (tr7)
triparty
Lol Haz Is this as hard as it seems I'm stuck on 38
I'm on my way there now Dr_G :)
woop sorry
It's a more difficult grid than yesterday's, but don't be afraid to shout out for clues.
magzel - you're on the right lines!
I think I will be shouting loudly lol
thanks, mag!!
Yay! done! and thanx for your help; it was.....helpful..;-)
Congratulations chic!
and done. Thanks for all thelp, Haz! any clues before I go?
*thanks for all the help....
Well done Charm!
Hooray chic and charm!
Thanks to torgone and charm I got my last word (ra6/21) and have FIREWORKS!
YAY chic and charm!!
Well done jillibus - I've missed speaking to you for the past while in the morning - how are you?
yay, jillibus & chic!
Hooray jillibus
I'm fine - had a computer glitch day before yesterday when my monitor went black. I have a little old 15" one now on loan from the library where I work and must arrange for a replacement of my 17" LCD which is still under guarantee, thank goodness!
time to continue my domestic duties! catch you all later!
Computer problems are the pits! But I'm glad you're able to get onto babble.
Bye chic!
Have a good day chic!
There's one trouble - the site overflows my screen and I think I need to change the resolution but am not sure as to what would be right. It's now set at 800 x 600, as low as it will go, I think. If it's set higher, would that make it shrink?
Jillibus - I wouldn't begin to know. I'm sure other babblers will though.
Sounds like you need to adjust the margins on the screen itself - there should be some buttons ..
sorry, jillibus, not my bailiwick. bye everyone. have fun babbling. Maybe Dr_G will give us a baby grid tomorrow with nothing but 8, 9 and 10 letter words....
Bye Charm - have a good day. And if the grid tomorrow is horrific, we know who to blame....
mea culpa mea culpa mea culpa
But we'll forgive you - eventually.
I don't see any helpful buttons, torgone, but thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll call my guru ;)
bye charm - that was a horrid prediction!
At least she didn't ask for 1000 words . .right, haz??
I'm trying to forget that, torgone!
bye all - must phone the monitor people and do other things - back later
Bye jillibus - I hope you get your problems sorted out.
Jill - if you havent gone yet you need to set it to higher numbers
wow thisgrid is small but deadly.
FIREWORKS! Now off to get drunk to celebrate - my brain cells need dumbing down.
Don't be trying any po7. It's pretty deadly as well.
can anyone help with my last one please ex5/22
YAY Gadget! and hi again all
hey stidmama
Deeha -- a person who leaves their home country to live (often permanently) elsewhere.
ex5/22 is someone who lives far away from home.
I see it!! What a twit!!Thanks all and goodnight
Hi Haz! I left a note at BabAnon, but I really LOVE your story about your trip to Kenya. Thanks so much for posting it!
later Deeha!
Well done Deeha! And Stidmama - many thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
okay, silly word of the day: tippot -- what my family puts tea into before it spills...
20 words left... any help for either of the O words?
*fishslap* got the oa 4...
I thought you might.... op4/6 - Miss Winfrey minus a letter
thanks for the other, Haz.. :-)
You're welcome!
afternoon, just in for a quick peek
hey firefly!
SMALLS!!
are you done with the grid?
hardly, still have 43 to go! lol
you?
hi firefly! hi smaller!
small ones take me FOREVER
I have 16 to go, firefly... wanna race? ;-)
hi stiddy!
hi stidmama!
hahaa stid :P
hahaa stid :P
I am trying to go listless, but using abundant help from the log.
stid, oooo many woohoos to you on going listless!
LLLucky 13! and falling...
haven't made it yet, but I have three hours before a kid appears , so there's hope.
stiiiid, where's your insect jewelry icon? c'mon, babbler spirit! ra-ra-ra!
Well, it was sorta changed to crocodile hunter day (for Steve Irwin); but I couldn't get _any_ images off the web to save. So I did a stid icon in crocodile colors instead...
i knew it was mentioned to change it to CH day, but no one said if it was "official" so since I already did him two days ago, i went with my lovely beaded necklace
I think that makes sense. I really like the cicada look (as long as they're not real...)
cicadas are not fireflies stid...
Actually, I meant to fix the icon. My letters don't stand out in the small image in the chat. brb
Afternoon, all. Ex5/22 driving me insane. Clue?
ex5/22 - someone who lives abroad - or just add the start of the patron saint of Ireland
Oh -- *duh* sorry firefly!
brb
no prob stid ;)
evening all :)
hiya Fishbulb
where you from if it's evening?
Thanks for the ex clue.
England - its 9pm here :)
You're welcome Judi! (Insanity postponed?)
ahh - it's 1pm here in the Western States
Judi - nice icon, very sweet
Thanks, firefly. Steve Irwin was such a cool guy. I'll miss him on Animal Planet. Tragic for his wife & kids.
i agree completely
Its pretty shocking what happened to Steve Irwin huh? I still can't quite believe it. He did so much raising awareness of conservation and enviromental issues.
it was truly a freak thing - it's really touching a lot of people's lives too
okay, better icon now.
Hello all, I'm back again
clues for the y words
excellent work stid, very bold
year
hi lady, hi mullet
ye4 = teenagers way of saying something affirmative

Hiya Stid, Firefly
ra 6/21 anyone

Sapphie1 - predatory bird
Sapph, small vicious dinosaur
lol
or bird of prey

I"ve been having a good week, we've been told to enjoy it because the rains are coming
yes, so I hear (and hope) -- once Tom finishes the skylight tonight, (fingers crossed) I am not going to care...
I'm sending you positive vibes then
"goth" should really be a word - visit any high school in America, you'll find a kid dressed as such
thanks rae!
LOL firefly!
:) I know my mom is going through the same thing you are - my dad decided to redo the kitchen....8 weeks ago
any help for the tr7 would be so welcome...thank you
my thoughs exactly Fire
oh man! Kitchens are supposed to be so hard -- between plumbing and electric! I am glad we aren't doing that (this year). Can't afford it! LOL
tr: 3 + another word for pieces
oh nothing complicated...he's repainting
prefix meaning 3 + word meaning piece or portion
ri 6/24 please
that's not SO bad -- I actually do most of the painting in our house, but still it can be time-consuming.
raelite...thank you got it now!
I know, but he keeps putting it off and moving things around, like the table, then he hurts himself and has to stop
sapphie: try "tear" + a type of music popular with teens.
ugh, i've painted the insides of two houses - if i never have to paint again, it won't be soon enough!
he could have hired someone to do it in one day
no worries mo
Oh -- that sounds like my Tom, all right! LOL he's a wonderful person, but does these sorts of projects so rarely that it takes him a lot longer than he anticipates.
Clue for the first Tr5/15?
yep that's it exactly.
ty stidmama
(I like painting, but I don't do boring plain walls generally... poor Tom!)
Judi - tr5/14 add a vowel to the math function
Sterv Irwins' death is tr**** (remove the last cons)
laughs...same here, I don't even go near there when he's "working"
sapphie....where in Yorkshire are you...i was born and bred in Rotherham
tr5/14 - combined with comic sums up a sadly funny situation
lady, that was a super hint, I am down to... TEN!
tragic
oops, guess i clued the wrong one :0
hi mo..from huddersfield
Sorry. I'm an idiot.
Woohoo, go Stid
What else do you need?

Maybe you're in stealth mode . .
Inge - I can see you, but I can't see me. I presume it figures if you're looking at the list, you must be online
now I can see my name also, but most of the time I am not there. Do our names get de-listed when we are not posting for an hour or two? Then how does lickety get to stay since after midnight this morning?
po 7 anyone??

hi pam
Hello pam!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
hi Pam
As for the "light" grids, I prefer the 150-200 range. I like to go on and off through the day and/or evening, and the smaller grids don't do it for me...
I am sorry to hear that you're doing terrible torgone
i can't when i'm at school, that's my problem.... but I understand that way is best, pam
I don't get on when I am at work, Dorens. Just earlier in the a.m.--and then in the evening.
hi all....

hi, cathyar!

Stid, with counting like that, you could work at NASA. But you need to work in long delays....
thanks
that last shoulda been a fish. so glad I didn't ask for help!
whoo hoo Stid!
congratulations stid
po7/36?
<*))<< just for you Stid. ;)
HEEHee shich nyumber ws it?
LOL riemann. So -- two days into the school year and I have a bit more order in the house again... the kids are doing okay (haven't been suspended yet) and the dogs are a lot more "pestery"...
LOL lbd!
scroll down a tad shutterbug
hi all!
cool icon stid
So riemann -- have your students returned from summer break?
My fingers don't seem to work too wellaftera few too many glassesof wine
hi shirin
thanks shirin. I love the flutterbye in yours, too!
Oh, yes. Classes are in their 2nd week here. And the faculty are (again) realizing how busy they are.
thanks tinks
*grin* no rest for the wicked, pal!
Did it work shutterbug?
'Tis true, Stid. Pretty soon I'll be as sleep-deprived as you.
wish i were in my cups right now...i'm still at work, but gtting ready to buzz home...see you from the home front.
yes tinks.
*yawn* at least the worst of the sleep-dep is over for the moment. I have given up trying to stay up as last as my night-owl companion!
see you soon lbd!
to 5 clue anyone?
to 5 is latin plural of the to 4 (roman garment)
How you would describe a tragedy without the last letter
ex5,22?
My life, tinks?
ROFL...
oops sorry ignore that!
EX 5/22 is a person who lives in a country, not their original home
ahhh, stid
Not yours it's mine stid!
Actually, feeling pretty good today -- got a whole bunch of ironing done, and arranged for trumpet lessons to resume.
Now I need to find a violin teacher for the other kid. *sigh*
cool, stid, who plays trumpet? I LOVE music, I play the violin too!
our teen plays trumpet and piano, the other plays the fiddle and trombone. :-) Music is wonderful!
Love music, just wish I could do it tunefully!!
how long have you played, shutter?
I play piano, violin, recorder, organ and saxophone.
Just make me jealous shutterbug!
why isn't goth a word?
what fun! I like them all except the organ -- just not my style.
I've played violin 21 /2 years and piano 5 years. I dont play the organ a lot. maybe once every few months.
I think, onyx, it's usually capitalized...
in thick black letters?
with little lightning bolts and jaggedy bits, yes onyxx...
I love the sax, attmpted flute and piano, but most of all would love to sing. Unfortunately, it just doesn't quite work!
I would like to play flute someday.
My primary instrument is my voice. I dabble with other things, but just can't sit still long enough to get really good at them. LOL riemann knows!
hello stid stiddedyskarooo
At least your voice works stidmama!
well, I think it's time to serve dinner...
{{{NUT}}}! (did you get your puppy? is everything okay now?)
Some days, tinks, it's the only thing that works!
puppy is alive, healthy, and more than likely all adopted now.
I'm sure it's not stidmama
oh, I hope he found a kind family!
And you, Nut? doing okay?
the lady that runs the shelter isn't likely to turn her dogs over to anything other
who me? i'm fantabulous.
she struck me as a mother hen who likely checks up on her adoptees regularly to ensure they have a good home.
Awwhh - another adopted puupy - please take him/her on - it's sooo sad when people abandon them
tinks, fiz's mom had to track him down for me
*big huge grin* so glad to hear that, nut! I know you work long hours and all. I would find that sort of schedule very draining. Which is why, I suppose, I am a housemom!
and the rice cooker just popped up. I will be on again later to tell the story. See you all!
who's fiz?
stid, house mom was my original plan like 4 years ago, then i had to give it over for breadwinner
ta ta stiddy
tinks, another player here.
fiz is great fun...AND WHERE IS FIZ?
awh. I have a friend here who found abandoned dog - she just had to add him to the menagerie. Gorgeous dog but nebver healthy - so sad.
ta5/12?
don't think dict def will work for that...
tinks, this dog was abandoned on my parents farm, and killed their domestic poultry. it's like double ignorance. 1) for abandonment 2) for failure to consider what it might do to the farm animals.
ta 5/12 is a cute little african animal with a longish nose
ta 5/12 is a cute little african animal with a longish nose
and a stutter LOL
ta+ plus the twirl a ballerian does - cut it when you hit 5
tough decision evanout - can see both sides
oops sp ballerian should have been ballerina
i only see the dogs side
I would have gotten rid of that dog immediately. I had some dogs kill 7 of my birds a few weeks ago, it was awful.
oh, eva, not is not nice, I loved my chickens.
but the dog had nothing but instict,...no training to not kill...not the dogs fault
it was whoevers fault who let the dog out. I understand that is all the dog knows, but whoever let the dog out should be in trouble.
Dog doesn't know, but chick s very shocked. Nosure how you'd go coz I'm nowhere near the situation
tr 5/12 anyone?
its a sweet big dog, i'm a sucker for big dogs
let's blame people! people suck!
and hello again
Old fashioned past tense of tr 4/5
I LOVE big dogs too. we have a golden retreiver and had a rottweiler.
(((LESLIE)))
i have a retriever mix
LA, nice icon.
i plan to someday have a weimereiner
I can't have dogs cos I have to work
my sisters grooms one of those.
debb...where are ya girl...mets 7-0
hello nut, shutter
did that help natasha?
LeslieAnn, I most emphatically do NOT suck! I might sip occasionally, but never suck!
oh right
people suck!*
*except babblers
chronicles of narnia is going to be on starz...woohoo!
Well, dinner is cooling, turns out I don't have to go pick up the younger kid from his friend's (Tom will do that later) and so I am going to be drifting in and out for the next 45 minutes.
Thanks for the correction, LeslieAnn!
does anyone by chance have a clue for ex 5/22? I am stumped
no tinks, still trying to wrap my brain around it
drift away stiddy

By the time Adam and Nan had arrived home, Gray and Olivia had been put down for their naps. Doris looked up from some mending as they came through the back door.
good night peri!
night to
good night TO!
night peri, night TO
OOOhh! So jealous Peri
bye temple
ld- getting there

arlene, glad to hear you are feeling better
She smiled, "Aunt Cathy is here -- she brought the doctor. Nan, she wants to talk to you!"
yep.... I do and thanks
anyone need clues
((((hugs)))) Arlene
howdy folks
hi gail
Adam mumbled something about a "house full o' women" and "fence mending" and bolted out the back door.
hi gail!
Was going to tryfor the flip. but its 3am here, might crash onthe keyboard
dunoze if i need any clues yet, annie. i have 2 words to go. lemme dive in... lol
night, tinks
hi, gail
night, tinks
where are you, tinks?
Nan sniffed the air appreciatively, looked in the pot Polly was stirring and smiled at her sister as she wandered toward the front of the house, where the older women's voices could be heard.
tah-dah. done!
congrats, gail!!!
Esmeralda was sitting in the chair closest to the fire, with a blanket over her lap and a cup of tea in her hands.
YAY gail!
ty ty ty!
gnite all! - go for it lot's of cluers here
yay, gail
nite, tinks. sleep tight
Nan walked uncertainly to her mother's side and leaned against her for a moment before looking at the doctor.
ty pam. i'm a veritable newbie at this. You are all old (figuratively) hands.
Esmeralda sat and watched. She noticed that Nan had avoided the footstool in front of her mother's chair as well as the arm of the chair.
tiptoes into room and takes seat on floor
She saw that her eyes scanned the room as she walked, and focused on various objects as she looked around the room.
lol, gail.. I newbies are always good things! And, you finished! I rarely do. I listlessly poke around!
hi inge!
is something you're writing, stid? (newbie asks...)
hi, inge
This is chapter thirty nine, gail!
hi, was watching the news about our school strike, it is not over yet
poking around is fun, but i just can't leave a puzzle unfinished, if i can help it. chapter 39 of what, stid?
Just a story -- a bored bedtime-type story gail. :-)
i missed the first 38, stid :-[}
gad. i AM new, huh. lol.
When Nan looked at the doctor, Esmeralda spoke. (the rest are at Babblers Anonymous in the Other Interests section, gail!)
night tinks
good night, tinks!
and hi and whoo hoo gail
ahhh, ty, stid. i'll catch up with the rest of you. someday. perhaps. lol.
"Well child! What a wonderful gift you have received," she smiled, "How do you feel?"
hiya, lb, and ty
brb
it was about a month ago when we had another small grid that Stid started this story.
good night to all my fellow babblers, I am going to read
night, anniw
*annie
she writes it as she types on the chat line...amazing huh!
night annie
back.
nite, annie
Nan paused before answering, "I am a little scared of all the people crowding around."
ex 4, anyone?
Ava chortled from her corner, and Gilly and Anna laughed out loud.
Esmeralda nodded and took a sip of tea.
ex+ edgar allen **e
"Would you mind if I look at your eyes, Nan?" she asked gently.
isn't there a sports team called the ex**s?
good clue bubba
thanks, bubba!
Thanks IBD, yw ping
ewwww. Lucky just slobbered all over the keyboard and monitor.... just a sec.
montreal maybe?
lol Stid, guess he wanted to see Nan's eyes too!
i guess that means it's clean? heh.
He did it on purpose. I told him "no" when he pushed my hand away from the mouse, so he took a BIG drink of water and then came back... *yucky yucky*
that's it, Ping.
it's sure clean now! LOL
roflmao
okay. Back to story.
Nan walked straight from her mother's side and stood before the old woman. They examined each other's faces.
The girl saw lines of laughter and worry, a few wild gray hairs that wouldn't stay under the head kerchief and a firm set jaw and mouth.
The older woman saw the wide-open gaze of a child, pigtails that turned in opposite directions despite the attempts to braid them the same, and a firm set jaw and mouth.
The girl's eyes were clear, and tracked the hand the old doctor held up with no difficulty.
Suddenly, the doctor clapped her hands in front of the girl's face.
Startled, she blinked and took a step back.
"Well, that settles it! If she can learn to read, I'd say her sight is excellent!"
Anna spoke from the bench where she was playing with the baby, "She can already read, I think."
And they looked at Nan expectantly.
Meg smiled a big smile and brought out a primer they kept at home for the poems. She had been sitting behind Gilly, "staying out of trouble" as the family called it, with her legs tucked up and her nose in a book.
Nan took the book from her sister and sat down on the bench where the light from the window made reading easier.
Meg opened the book to a random page and pointed. Slowly, Nan started to sound out the letters.
The room was quiet, as she carefully read:
Is there an ry4 word please
I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth, I knew not where.
I breathed a song into the air, it fell to earth, I knew not where.
Long long afterward, in an oak, I found the arrow -- still unbroke.
yes, Betty Anne, the skin of an orange, diff. spelling
Betty, like the skin of a melon or orange
Thanks Inge and lbdawger. That was what I was missing.
And the song from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
Speechless, they gaped at Nan.
yw Betty
great stuff, stid!
With a slightly shaky voice, Gilly rose and said, "I guess that settles it, Esmeralda. Nan may study with you as soon as she pleases and you are ready."
Ava stood also, "About time to check on the dinner preparations. I know that Adam and Nan brought some things for tomorrow..."
Nan rose to go with the others into the kitchen, but Gilly gave her a hug and asked her to keep the doctor company.
The cat wandered through, as was its wont -- and leaped onto the window sill to sit in the last bit of sunlight.
Nan looked at the doctor from across the room.
i will check the blog for it, stid. thanks again. you all take care and i'll catch you next grid!
"Well..." she began uncertainly.
see you soon gail, take care!
night gail
Esmeralda sighed and set the teacup down.
"Well indeed!" She replied.
They smiled at each other.
Nan had an idea. "Just a minute!" she exclaimed, and ran upstairs.
night, gail
Esmeralda heard her coming back down a few seconds later, much more carefully.
She poked her head around the corner. "Would you like to see my pretty box?"
"Yes, indeed I would!"
And together, they carefully set the casket on the little table by the fire. They took out the contents, one pretty package, box and vial at a time.
Hi all! ex5/22???
ex + New England ***riots
Nestled in the lid was a small book with a fibrous cover, a metal-tipped pen nib fastened to a flexible reed, and a small jar of dry ink.
thanks bubba, i thought i tried that!
yw
The little book was empty except for one word: "LOVE" -- written on the cover.
Esmeralda stroked the cover of the book gently, with a smile on her face. A tear ran down her cheek.
Nan was too busy picking things up and turning them over to notice at first.
Good evening all -- only two left -- help with the po7?
"Look at this," she exclaimed delightedly, holding up a beautifully carved little box.
marijauna + actor Charlie S*****
hi, greywoulf!
Woulf -- you know -- the stuff they get from the first mach of whiskey making!
Esmeralda reached for the box and Nan caught the glint of the trail the tear had left.
"Oh, Doctor! What is wrong? Do you hurt?"
Hi Wulf
po 7: po + noun for person between 13 7 19, add cons. in fourth place of word
thanks bubba
yw
She patted the woman's arm, and Esmeralda put her hand over the child's.
hi pam, lb, stid, and inge
and the last one is the ri6
13 -19
"No dear, I do not hurt. I was remembering a time long ago -- before your mother was even born -- when I saw a little book very much like this one."
tear + type of music
ri6 criticize hip-hop
Evening babblers
Nan was intrigued. "Did a big bird-person give you your book?"
hih tingy
Hi, checking in to see if anyone wants any clues
hi, phand and tingy
hi phan
Esmeralda sighed, "No, it was my husband. He had filled the book with poems and sayings for me."
FIREWORDS!!
"My husband had traveled to many lands -- he was a sailor and a merchant."
yay, woulf!
YAY Woulf!!!!
WTG Woulf
yay grey
Yeah GreyWoulf!
bravo, rey Woulf
whoo hoo Woulf
pr4/7??
*Grey
othe
"When we married, he gave up the wanderings to keep a little shop in the valley where I grew up."
pr + ice house is an **loo
pr a person who displays or demands of others pointlessly precise conformity, fussiness about trivialities, or exaggerated propriety, esp. in a self-righteous or irritating manner.
She shook her head as if to clear the clouds of time. "Now tell me about the bird-person and I will tell you a little about these items."
thanks again bubba!
Thanks folks -- the last two were driving me and hootowl nuts as we were not able to spend the time hunting properly as we are to busy visiting :)
too slow, sorry
my pleasure
(hi hootowl!)
Is she there already Woulf? I keep losing track of time with the kids back at school.
hi back, stid
yes, she is, stid -- she got in last night -- tomorrow we will be spending the day together
Nan and Esmeralda spent the rest of the afternoon, exchanging stories and carefully opening and discussing each package.
fireworks and just in time for me to go to bed...
my boss let me take my floating holiday so I could spend time with her
Oh how wonderful! Well then you can give her a hug from me, and she can give you a hug back! LOL have a wonderful visit.
night all and see you tomorrow
Congrats
good night arlene
whoo hoo arlene! see you tomorrow
When it grew so dark they were having trouble seeing, they stowed everything back where it belonged.
LOL stid - thanks :D
Nan helped Esmeralda stand, and they wandered into the kitchen where Adam and Meg and Doris were carrying the last of the dinner fixings to the cart.
Anna sent Gray to help with the meal, and Doris went along to help Adam with Gray.
Swiftly, Gilly, Polly and Ava set the table for those who remained at home, and they ate and chatted until it began to grow dark and the sounds of the cart and wagon filled the back yard.
In no time, a very sleepy Andy and an asleep Gray were carried in by the twins, and the very grubby older men started hauling water for baths. A long day, it had been, and another long and exciting day awaited.
Night all, talk to you tomorrow
Good night bubba!
**end of story for tonight**
night bubba!
Okay, I need to turn on some lights and get things ready for tomorrow. Back in an hour or so to help clue.
night bubba, great story Stid, and i'm off to find my pillows

*shocking
I've got that one phand. I need the tr5/12.

Good night all!

i probably do, just don't know what yet...still 25 to go - i just can't seem to get this one off the ground!
well, if no one needs anything at this time, then I will seek ouit my pillows.
good luck Firefly
thx ph and md - sleep well
chapter is up.
good night phandmd!

hey stid - are you finished with the grid?
yes, finished a couple hours ago! Went to the list with 9 words left/.
ah, i'm listing now, with 22 to go
Well careful how you come about then, firefly, or you'll capsize!
stid -- hug delivered
thanks Woulf! :-) how did Kristianna enjoy seeing your mother?
lol stid - always the linguist
she loved it
especially since she got presents
*claps hands delightedly* I knew it! Grandmothers are always such a treat!
LOL
clue for the en5?
The best part was that I let her stay up late because of the excitement of the day and she decided at 9:40 (her normal bedtime is 9) that is was time for me to read her stories and tuck her in :D
en + attempt
en - if at first u dont succeed *** *** again
argh! thx Grey - I knew it would be obvious...
thx bb15436 too
yw
that is so nice, Woulf!
it wouldn't be babble if we didn't need the fish every now and then
i'll take my Mahi Mahi now :P
Kids are usually ready for bed by themselves... Our younger one just kissed us and headed that way himself! (20 minutes early)
so true, stid -- like when we got home from Long Island at 12:30 am Sunday -- rather than force her into bed when she was obviously wound up -- we let her come down on her own -- she was asleep by 2 and no tantrums or serious impact on her normal routine
hi all!
Hi Fran
hi wolfie!
Hi Fran!
hi stid!
Franny! good icon
hi FF! i had a crocodile hunter logo up until a little while ago.
both icons...i haven't refreshed since your change i guess ;)
hello everyone
hi kalea!
Me, if I had my way, I'd be heading off to bed as well. But There are still school papers to go through and sign, and a stack of things I need to sort for "downsizing" my office... LOL I have promised myself to get rid of a shoe-box worth of detritus each day the kids are in school full days...
One more to go. Any clues for the tr 5/14?
hiya Fran
mkl, it was a tr****c situation
hello? Can I do this thing in one hour?
variant past tense of the tr4/5
tr4/6 plus circle
ack! 6 words left, and they're all T's :(
oops my bad
tr 5/14 is the oppisite of "comic" - last letter.
or should I behave and change a few harp strings?
harp, if you go to the list, an hour is reasonable.
harp, you can do it in an hour with the list for sure
i'd go for the harp personally...lol
easily finished in an hour HJ
(you're in the grid today jane...)
and you said a word!
okie dokey, harp strings can wait! maybe I should do a little then do some laundry,. then finish.
and i said a word!
oops, then we've all used a word
thanks for the first clue stid
so did you, Fran!!
and FF said a word
good plan!
I didn't -- *smug look* ;D
could I have a clue for tr7,32 please?
and *I* said a word, too. (read the story, there are more words there!)
do i remember that some of you are in washington?
well, heck, i used a word a lot already!
if anyone doesn't have ha4/6, they are not paying attention
prefix for 3, then to separate
tr 7 is "three sections" word. Use latin for 3, then a section/segment/piece is a p***
hpyhrted - stid and i both are Washingtonians
many of us are in Washington state, hpyhr
and with all the words, being said, I think goth should be a word!
i agree, jane
i said as much earlier hjane :)
i'm going to visit friends in Sequim next week, any long range weather predictions?
Well, the wind is kicking up a bit this evening. Just a sec...
may i have the first ta5 please?

I'm going there next week
ta5.....south american animal
ff -- a south american sloth
I use http://www.komotv.com/weather/ to check the weather on this side of the mountains.
FF, sounds like a word for candle
What do you use for your side of the state firefly?
cool hopefully!! I'm from So Cal and it's been HOT
sounds like pen and pa***
stid - i don't bother much with the weather...it is what it is and usually the weatherman is wrong anyways
I'm wondering if the Titanic exhibit is worth going to
hi harp
it will seem very cool to you, hpyhr -- in the low 70s for the highs.
ahee
where's that at, jane?
ahee---oops!
just wondering what clothes to take - don't care either as long as it's cool
YES! we took the boys when it was in Seattle. We enjoyed it a lot.
*giggle* harpjane, that was funny!
It's in SF, at the meteron or something with a similar name. I have a day to kill in that neck of the woods.
oooh sweet thanks stidmama i finally got it
Bring "layers" -- almost all of us wear a light shirt, a vest or heavier top and carry a rain jacket or windbreaker. Jeans are about the right weight of pants year-round.
yw celticflame
thanx Stidmama, appreciate the info
ok, so if ahee is not a word, could I please get a clue for the A words?
hi all for a few minutes. I'd like to introduce my dear niece who lives in Edmonton -- she will be known as Tarquin and I don't know how often she'll be on but she's a ton of fun in spite of being a retired lawyer

ri4........when a bunch of people tear up a city
jilli - you're so hip! lol
wasn't ri6 an interesting word kalea? i love when there are new ones.
oh -- I know that feeling. I used to hate not being able to sleep but being too tired to really work... Then I discovered Babble, and my life changed for the better! [signed, a proud Babblonian}
helen - here!!!
it is, Fran..........i hadn't seen that combo before
working the grid!! trying to get these last 15
