phantom word: wonder

12:31 am

the 8 starts with a w

and is the plural of the 7 just before it

the 8 is a group of concerned people

12:31 am

w 7/44 x2, w 8/60

12:32 am

another 7 is what the previous 7 and that 8 do

12:32 am

Good morning ex-Wren - sorry, was on the phone there.

3:16 am

It won't take defur. That's what happened to Spangle yesterday at the groomers, so why won't it take?

it won't take the person who puts in or takes out the fu4/8 bdfore the fu5/20 either... and someone has to do it so it ought to take it

3:18 am

I agree.

finally less than 10 to go

I might make it before morning/bedtime after all

3:19 am

How topical Haz :)

3:20 am

I have to say, this dog smells better than I do.

rofl

wo6/33 - a past tense of old fashioned 'accustomed to'

3:30 am

Ah the magic of a "Haz clue" ;) thanks.

3:31 am

Glad it helped.

I agree FMitch... they're always so eloquent

3:32 am

Thank you metal - I'm glad you like them too.

You're most welcome Haz.

3:39 am

I was going to change my icon to today's theme but coudn't find a good icon. It was going to be the infamous babblet lipstick tree which hasn't cropped up for ages now.

I just picked the first thing that popped into my head... not representative of my area, just one of which I like the sound

3:42 am

I was just checking on the icon of the day - I'm pretty lazy these days about the icon, only changing when the fancy takes me, or on Fridays. I love clue icon Friday.

on those Fridays, I'm never sure whether or not we're supposed to pick one clue and stick with it or keep changing them as our solved list grows...

3:43 am

Me too Haz, icon clue Friday has so many possibilities metal you can stick with one or change as many times as you like

3:44 am

You just do what you want, metal. It's fun, no matter how people approach it.

I have severe brain fog... the caffeine's wearing thin.

3:45 am

Take a break if you can or want. Maybe the words will be clearer later.

3:45 am

More caffine or time for bed?

3:45 am

morning all. here for a few minutes. have severe everything fog after running round a field at top speed trying to get a pheasant away from Hobbit

neither yet... not quite time for bed, but more caffeine will have me up and down to the restroom all morning instead of sleeping

Hi Ata

oh my goodness

a pheasant?

3:46 am

Oh heavens Ata, did you manage to save it?

3:46 am

Good morning Atalante. I bet Hobbit doesnt smell nearly as nice as my Spangle this morning. She was at the groomers yesterday.

or is it nothing but fluff and feathers?

3:47 am

yeah ... she likes chasing them ... and no, she smells horrid! all muddy and sweaty! and yes, pheasant lived to fight another day :)

3:48 am

We can all breathe easy. Except for Atalante who I can hear puffing and panting from here.

3:48 am

awwww I bet Spangle looks gorgeous! You should put a post-trim pic up for general admiration :)

3:49 am

I'll maybe do that later - I have RDA this morning so I should really be getting on with heading out the door.....

3:49 am

By the way, did you finish at a decent hour last night, Atalante?

3:50 am

yup! hurshy helped me with the last few :)

3:50 am

Good! You sounded weary.

3:50 am

felt very very pleased with myself for not looking at a list at all!

yayyy Ata

3:51 am

Bye Haz, see you later and enjoy RDA

3:52 am

I was. just feeling stupidly stubborn LOL

3:52 am

Thanks FMitch - I've 28 to go, so I'll run them down later.

3:53 am

Have a good day - see you all later.

3:53 am

and yes Haz, one beuatiful Spangle pic requested for later :)

3:55 am

Just incase anyone else is spending ages looking for the su5/14 - think animal skin.

3:56 am

ty! wasn't looking but will gratefully accept!

3:58 am

Some words like that I am so blind to, earlier kicked myself for not spotting the white stuff that falls from the sky.

3:58 am

there are some words that I can *never* seen. Ocean is the biggest one.

I sound that one, but didn't see the plural

3:59 am

hi everyone, how is it today?

3:59 am

Hi Pappou - it's a good one today

4:07 am

snowfeed

nope, not a word, LOL

4:07 am

I have one R to go and for the life of me I can't come up with it

4:15 am

re4,4

4:15 am

start with the top r

4:16 am

re plus the opposite of was

tytyty Pappou and FMitch, that leaves me with just 7 to go

4:16 am

TY pappou - I was missing that too!

4:16 am

yw, it just happened to be one of the only re's that I had, LOL

maybe we can trade....

4:18 am

well, I have 73 to go, but the bottom right t's have me stumped

think novice or beginner, and the plural

4:19 am

2 are like when you t**** a ball - drop the second letter

usually spelled with the 'sometimes a vowel'

4:20 am

got it, thanks

4:20 am

Mornin' Y'all .. How's everyone today?

4:20 am

that column is done, ty you

4:20 am

to you two

4:20 am

hi odin

wtg PT

4:21 am

well, 67 words in 29 minutes, not bad

now, let's work on the middle column/middle row

4:21 am

Hey Pap

that's very good

hi Odin, welcome to the fray

4:21 am

hello odin

4:21 am

Mornin' lynxxx

4:22 am

Mornin' metal

4:22 am

I don't have anything yet in the 2nd column, working on the 4th one

4:22 am

Last 2 words I've been hunting sound like the taste of lemon juice (and pl)

4:22 am

Hi Odin

4:23 am

Mornin' FMitch

FM... you're hunting them, or you've found them?

4:23 am

I've found them and the fireworks too

4:24 am

YAY FM!

4:24 am

woooohoooo FMitch

4:24 am

Worked the grid differently today...started at top left like pap said and lo' and behold ...60 words in 13 minutes...there is a method to the madness!

4:24 am

yay, fmitch

4:24 am

WTG FMitch!!!!!

4:24 am

wtg, odin

jeepers Odin, you're blazin'

4:25 am

yes, but I strayed, LOL

4:25 am

That is some going Odin!!!!

4:25 am

I used quadrants and moved across then added a line below...worked great

4:25 am

sounds like a military maneuver

4:26 am

a babble maneuver

I grab whatever I see first... then start working the letters with the fewest left

4:26 am

it is easy to stray Pap because your eyes want to move to words that pop up but I didn't miss the ed's or es's by working it left to right line by line today...it could be a fluke...

4:27 am

I have to change my logo. My nephew was too homesick to stay at UF so he's coming to a closer school.

6 left

4:27 am

Where's he going?

listless

4:28 am

is there a ts ? I am still missing a T from the bottom left.

no ts

4:29 am

TY

4:30 am

well, he has to wait till the next semester, but he had credits from taking AP courses. He's going to go to the local SPC for his first two years then transfer to a larger univ. Probably USF. The family had a rough 4 months. We lost my grandmother, dad and uncle so he just wanted to be close to family.

4:30 am

Can't blame him...it is better for him to be near.

hi Jacula

5:27 am

just got a HUGE pile of post only one is important, the rest has gone straight on the recycle pile, what a waste of paper i hate that ,

it's a shame there's not something constructive you can do with it... to circumvent the recyclers I mean

5:28 am

M3 - not totally wasted if you recycle it. Anything with an address on goes through the shredder in this house and then gets put in the rabbit & guinea pig hutches, after which is goes to green waste at the dump.

5:29 am

Shredded junk mail makes great animal bedding!

5:29 am

good morning everyone.

5:29 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

M£ - there was a thing on the BBC a while ago about junk mail and you can op out just like you can with cold calling.

5:29 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

i shred too, i get load of free papers i dont even look at they go on the compost, the shiny stuff goes in the recycle bin

another way to use things without personal info ... is to wad or shred the papers and use the pieces to pad things in shipping

5:29 am

pida its all gone wrong

5:29 am

!

5:30 am

Good way to start the day. Finger resting on the enter key. Sorry!!!!

5:30 am

For anyone in UK, check my profile for lots on information on recycling.

hi pida, and phan

5:30 am

morning!

5:30 am

hello Pida - you now how to make an entrance!

5:31 am

I guess you just like to make an entrance, eh, pida? LOL.

5:31 am

Morning phan.

I read that info the other day Jac... how'd you become so interested/involved in recycling?

5:31 am

hello phandmd

5:31 am

yeah thats a great site jac., i got rid of my old phones (5) dint get much but at least there not sitting in the draw now x

5:31 am

Morning Metal, lynxx, and yes Jac. Anyone not notice me today.????

5:32 am

5:32 am

Can't type this morning!

5:33 am

Good idea, M3! *Goes off to do same.*

I'm also a fan of the use it up/wear it out/make it do/do without......... rethink/reduce/re512/repurpose/recycle

5:34 am

I'm back, tea in hand... 6 left to find, all s's. I'm determined to re6/18 the list at this late stage.

wtg Jac

good morning folks!

5:37 am

Jacula you are a woman after my own heart - my family (and work colleagues) hide their bins when I am around. I also have a wormery which is a great way to get rid of all the confidential post

My cousin Al used to raise and sell worms. Made a tidy sum at it as I recall.

Hello Everyone!

Hello Mr. P

5:38 am

good evening MRP

5:38 am

good morning everyone

hi Eva

5:39 am

need to help the kiddo get off for the day.

5:39 am

hello Eva

5:39 am

*kiddos*

5:39 am

scarydeb - I used to have a wormery but, unfortunately, it attracted rats (who loved the fruit & veg peelings and, once they'd tasted kiwi and pineapple, virtually knocked on the back door to complain if they only found boring potato and carrot peelings).

back in a few, need to feed the antique cat and snag a beverage for myself

5:42 am

Morning Eva & Merp.

5:42 am

Morning MrP and anyone else I've missed.

5:49 am

emma - Welcome. If you go to Angelsong's page and read the information there, you'll be able to be more specific about which clues you would like.

5:49 am

pida - past tense of the wo4/8 before it (accustomed).

5:49 am

se6 clue please?

5:50 am

5:50 am

CJ - se6 = one who se4/4's.

5:51 am

CJ - I think there's one left in the pot... mug of tea coming your way.:)

5:51 am

CJ - se6 sounds a bit like a Roman ruler.

5:52 am

WTG oDIN

no M3, but they are reminiscent of hay, and tossing things about

5:57 am

thans mettle x

5:57 am

Fireworks (and now my coffee!)

5:57 am

M3 - not really. The st's are an old word for what you do with hay or se4/5s. Usually spelled with an 'e' in the middle.

yayyyy Lynxxx

5:57 am

Well done, lynxxx!

5:57 am

yay lynxxx!

5:57 am

WTG!! lynxxx,

5:58 am

Woohoo lynxxx!!!

5:59 am

wtg lynxxx - just snook back on in time for your fireworks!

5:59 am

4th time listless - but who's counting! one day I'll be able to do it without the chat (not!)

5:59 am

Well, I'd better go and get some of that ir4/4ing done. I've got a hair appointment later - the mane's long overdue for taming!

5:59 am

You reckon lynxxx?!?!

I"m here but sort of not here too... still at the computer, but doing morse code practice so I may be a bit slow to respond

6:00 am

later jac!

6:00 am

Nup!

6:01 am

Would you like some more ir4/4ing to do? I've a mountain here!

6:02 am

No thanks, JFB!

6:03 am

Worth a try!

6:05 am

I'll say goodbye - just realised I've got to water the garden tonite - its really dry and with current restrictions can only water every other day.

6:05 am

Lol. Happy Babbling!xx

6:05 am

bye lynxxx!

6:06 am

First frost is supposed to hit tonight so time to bring in everything that canbe saved. Does anyone know if you can ripen red peppers indoors?

see ya later lynx

6:08 am

i have no idea eva!

6:09 am

I may get away with covering them.Time to google frost questions

Eva, you can ripen them indoors if they have just begun to change colour

can I help anyone with clues before I clear out for the day?

6:15 am

how mrp? Whole plants, roots and all, or fruit in paper bags?

6:15 am

19 more to go!

the fruit needs to be about 4 inches long... pick it and put it in paper bags

wtg CJ

6:16 am

great! There are about 12 that are that big.

6:17 am

EVA- You can eat most peppers when they're green, but they don't develop their full flavor until they turn color—whether it be red, orange, or yellow. Cut sweet peppers off the plant with a sharp knife or shears, leaving about a ½-inch stem attached. Cayennes and some others usually pop off with ample stems attached. Peppers will usually keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Freeze or dry any excess fruit. Harvest all usable fruit before the first hard frost. Or, if you have unripe fruit you don't want to waste, cut the entire plant and hang it indoors to allow the fruit to continue ripening.

6:18 am

so now, got any great recipes for green tomato preserves/chutneys,etc

6:18 am

beebee-that's wonderful advice! It's not clear how hard the frost will be tonight, but i souldn't be terrible. If I throw sheets over the stakes to cover theplants whould that be enough protection if it is in the upper 20's?

6:19 am

the ti words are there only two that are from the 1st T down?

6:19 am

I mean three

6:20 am

cj-there are 5 ti's

6:20 am

yay! fireworks for me!

6:20 am

Yes I know - but from the 1st T or any fro mthe 2nd T?

yay Fran!

3 from the first

6:20 am

eva- what will the high be the next day? if it is warm in the days, then the sheet should be fine.

yayyyyy Fran!

6:20 am

3 from the first one

6:21 am

right got them all :)

6:21 am

yes-it's going to cloud back up and be in the 50's-60's the next day

6:21 am

eva- but if it's not getting warm in the days-you'd do better just to pick them

6:21 am

so good to be able to find expertise about just about everything right here!

6:22 am

anyone want a quick clue before i go to bed?

6:22 am

no thanks fran....16 left and I think I want to try and get them on my own. This puzzle is going too quickly.

6:23 am

eva- well, good luck with your peppers, if your tomatoes are mature and just green, they'll ripen wonderfully in the house- i'm off to wake the troops bbl

6:23 am

nite fran

6:23 am

8:12 am

morning all

8:12 am

hi rae!

8:12 am

hey wolvie

8:13 am

Much as I love Bush bashing, I don't think this is the place. We have had THAT problem once before

8:13 am

there's just so much to say about him...

klaurel.. I so don't care

8:13 am

Good morning Babblers! How is the grid today? I was too tired to finish the grid last night.

8:14 am

LOL - it would take up the entire chat, kl

8:14 am

hi scrabbler - nice grid today

8:14 am

yes, Rae, there is so much to day and please, feel free to IM me! I love Bush bashing! :)

Morning Scrabbler, so far, one weird word, and I have 19 left to find. Not bad.

8:14 am

klaurel - any developments with your son?

8:14 am

a

8:14 am

But he gives such good fodder! And the thing that scares me is how many people think he's GOOD.

8:14 am

17 left here, and I just typed in one weird word - to me anyway

8:15 am

But I always freeze up when I see re, de, and an s

8:15 am

the re's are pretty decent, so no problems today

There are only 7 re's, all reasonable words.

8:15 am

I should just get over it

8:15 am

why do you people have to speak bad of the president? and don't even care who you offend

8:15 am

OH! YES! With my son, the perpetrator has been suspended from riding the bus for 5 days and it has spread through the school that it was because she picked a fight with Stefan

8:16 am

oh really? that's great!

8:16 am

klaurel: and if it goes the way it has for my son in the past, in 2 weeks he and the perp'll be best buds

8:16 am

good news, kl

She picked a fight?? what did SHE do?

8:17 am

so, I hope thta will also keep the other bullies away from him knowing that HIS mom cares enough to fight the school

8:17 am

help with the st's??

8:17 am

MrPresident - the 5th grade bully was running up and down the bus playing her trumpet, so my son told her (rather tactlessly) to shut up. And she hit him several times in the face and then punched him in the stomach

8:17 am

yay klaurel!!!

8:18 am

I took pictures of the marks on his face and teh school suspended her bus privilegdes

What a nasty piece of work!! good on you for fighting that one!!

8:18 am

How we you people from other countrys like it if we did that to you're leaders???????

8:19 am

would*

8:19 am

please, do your worst, jackets...we have the right to criticize our leaders - they aren't bad, but they are not undeserving of criticism

Wolvie, st 6/30 - st + ** your boat + one more letter

8:19 am

Umm, Jacket, that is the wonderful thing, we CAN criticize their leaders too :)

What you say jacket??

8:20 am

we do critize other leaders jacket - don't be coy

8:20 am

8:20 am

THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO TALK ABOUT IT SO SHUTUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

8:20 am

thanks bunny

8:20 am

jackets, despite my feelings about your president i won't further this conversation but to say that the american media and government has shown little consideration for the feelings of other nations. so enjoy your freedom fries. and take youyr own shouted advice.

That was supposed to be *** your boat

8:20 am

I do believe Jackets is a Bush fan

8:20 am

dude! chill out!

8:20 am

bye jacket - have a nice day - you should go somewhere to relieve your bp

8:21 am

F***YOU

8:21 am

8:21 am

F YOU to Wolvie

8:22 am

Hey, how about we settle down and enjoy Babble!

wolvie!! you got lucky

8:22 am

But what I will say is that EVERYONE lumps Americans into one big pot like we all LIKE the President and we support his policies and many of us don't

8:22 am

yeah, I hope it's good for you, wolvie

8:22 am

please don't lump all the bush supporters together -- I don't agree with the way jackets is "expressing" him/herself

8:22 am

LOL - not with a shrub mrP - I beg you

8:22 am

get a life jackets, or at least get some valium dude...c'mon man

LOL, I pick up shifts working at a restaraunt, they re-printed the menus to freedom fires from French> It wasn't really as statement on their behalf, just thought it was cute. I constantly have to explain why they are called that.

there are 2 de 4/5 and 2 di 4/5

Oh, hand over the fish - I can't belive I missed the first di 4/5!

Di 4/5, what you do to lose weight, the other di 4 is an anagram of that, de 4/5, like what you wear your shoes on

Thanks everyone for the help

9:10 am

Thnx, Bunny , not plural tho, one acts like sounds like cool guy from Happy Days thou.

9:10 am

Shoot, sorry, there is an off shoot, but it is the more of tense.

9:11 am

Cease and De*

9:11 am

sallright. I got it

9:12 am

9:12 am

the 2 big si words?

9:12 am

yes

9:12 am

9:16 am

Oh, I am still sleeping. I got confused by Beccas saying "sorry you asked for si words" Bunny your clue was perfecto

Liz used a word.....

Blood - de 6, to stop doing something

9:16 am

when you want someone to stop something you tell them to cease and de* not sure what else to say

wr 5/18 - means perverse, reminds me of a type of dark bread

9:17 am

wr 5 - rhymes with when tears fall from your eyes (and with eyes for that matter)

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of retired people when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches. After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and gives him another handful of peanuts. Again he eats hungrily. She repeats this gesture about five more times. When she is about to hand him yet another batch again he asks the little old lady, "Why don't you eat the peanuts yourself?". "We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she replied. The puzzled driver asks, "So why do you buy them then?" The old lady replied, "Because we just love the chocolate around them."

Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE." The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a small box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale. Funeral services for Ed have been scheduled for Friday......

9:58 am

oops, I will change it now. For those who are here it is a fig leaf, ...for chj's benefit. :)

A blonde was driving down the street in a sweat because she had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up toward heaven, she said, "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up sex and tequila." Miraculously, a parking place appeared. She looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures, tacked to a bulletin board, of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. "Yes," said the policeman. "The detectives want very badly to capture him." Little Johnny asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?"

He stopped and asked them why they were sitting there in the car. Were they trying to steal it? "Heavens no, we bought it." "Then why don't you drive it away." "We can't drive." "Then why did you buy it?" "We were told that if we bought a car here we'd get screwed ...so we're just waiting.

i'm thinking the same things chiley.

11:42 am

no, you dont plural taht you add a hook letter

11:42 am

11:42 am

lady, when your boys are grown they are your so** and then add two vowels to that word

12:32 pm

you need or4/4

12:32 pm

thanks vicuna. It would be so much easier if I could actually use the "Friends of Babble" links.

nevermind, I got it

12:32 pm

lady, sorry,,not plural but comparative

told you I was slow today lol

12:33 pm

No problem, Bloodaxe. I'm not using them either, today, and your quation showed me I needed another ow4! :)

12:33 pm

I seem to be the giver of wrong clues at times *slaps myself on the wrist*

12:34 pm

That would be question. I don't even know what a quation is.

12:34 pm

V ic, quation will probably show up in the grid one day

12:34 pm

sounds good though

12:35 pm

I also need one more "t" off of the bottom left. I have: tr5/10x2, tr4/8, and tr5/18.

12:35 pm

Good point, Annie. But I still won't know what it means!

12:35 pm

How do you manage to find two vowels to put after male child? I see only one.

12:36 pm

male children, sallyds.

12:36 pm

sonier

12:36 pm

you need tr6/18...it's a plural

12:36 pm

(Though, come to think of it, I'm impressed you found any to put after child...)

12:37 pm

Good clue Torg

1:18 pm

nice clue, torgone

either the grids are getting easier or I am getting better at this

1:18 pm

But hurshy's was more correct ..

1:19 pm

the more you do, the better you get, cause you remember more of the babblets

1:20 pm

technically, of course, wo6/33 is not a past tense or a verb at all, it is an adjective. maybe it used to be a verb...

1:49 pm

wont

1:49 pm

yes!

1:50 pm

rows

1:50 pm

no6/30 = no + opp of dumb (w4 today)

1:52 pm

why is ruse not a word?

1:53 pm

i mean rused!

1:53 pm

Um ...it is ..

1:53 pm

Jaime, it is a word!!!

1:53 pm

not done, still need 2 more

1:53 pm

good question, Jaime. as well as 'fuser'

1:53 pm

because it is a noun, not a verb, and you can't make a noun past tense

1:53 pm

now fuser, that makes no sense.

1:54 pm

grammar schmammar. my favorite junior high subject bites me again.

1:54 pm

they just didn't put 'fuser' in their word list, i guess.

1:54 pm

clue for last re?

1:54 pm

there are a lot of things they didn't put in the word list. like we are allowed si5 and senor but not herr. language prejudice.

1:55 pm

re + opp of lose.

1:55 pm

re5/18: re + opposite of lost.

1:55 pm

(past tense)

1:55 pm

then again, if they put in MORE words, we wouldn't have any less of the weird ones to find that we already have, they wouldn't replace them, so i guess we should just be grateful.

1:55 pm

gmta, Charm

1:55 pm

thnx

1:56 pm

So i do it up like prime rib. lots of salt, garlic, and about 75 minutes on a low barbie...

7:14 pm

BJ - LOL!

7:14 pm

blue rare...that's just barely getting the hide off the beasty

7:14 pm

thanks eb, it's my specialty this year

he has 1 more thing to do & then he's calling back...it'll be my call of 'reprieve'....

7:14 pm

But if you don't want to cook - you can get just about anything cooked delivered

7:14 pm

i'm a medium rare kind of girl myself

7:14 pm

Brandy - a squeamish nurse??? I think that's an oxymoron or something.

7:14 pm

and did you tell him Chinese

7:14 pm

i love seeing the milkman in old movies delivering his wares in the early morning

7:15 pm

tinks - My kids think I'm strange. My partner thinks I'm strange. Why should I be a wo7/44 if a stranger thinks I'm strange?;-)

7:15 pm

remind you of your dad chj?

7:15 pm

I quite agree.

lbd - no...right about now, I'll agree to almost anything!!

7:16 pm

Who are you agreeing with, BJ?

7:16 pm

I had a milkman up until a year or 2 ago - wan't using it all so had to cancel - delt really guilty as there's not that manya round anymore

7:17 pm

I wouldn't worry Jac - most people think I'm strange

7:17 pm

EB, careful what you agree too. although if hubs is buying it's negotiable! LOL

7:17 pm

tinks - Have to admit I sacked my milkman 10-15 years ago. Got fed up with him trying to fiddle my bill. (At the time, there were 2 milkmen in the family and so I knew all the tricks.)

7:17 pm

Here in the states we have Girl Scouts delivering cookies (although that's getting to be rare to) and Schwann's (frozen food).

7:17 pm

mmmmmm....chasing that snakebite with a bacardi silver

7:17 pm

almost anyone. but what about those of us who aren't strangers?

7:17 pm

I did have a few of those issues - but mostly when he was on holiday and someone was covering his round

7:18 pm

i love a straight line....

7:18 pm

*rim shot* for Brandy.

7:18 pm

tinks - That's what I said... why be a wo7/44? You and me are obviously NOT wo8/60. <---- CLUES FOLKS

7:18 pm

is that strangers being plural of stranger meaning more than just a little strange?

7:19 pm

stangers find me strange sometimes...

7:19 pm

well Judi, I'm glad somebodies on the ball here....

7:19 pm

ok guess I need help - fe 5/18 -- can't get two previous clues (Doug Adams, stinking water) - any more suggestions please?

7:19 pm

Oh, BJ. I know you think I'm strange. I am strange enough to like talking to strange people on the internet. *grins*

7:19 pm

oops -

lbd - ultimately, it all comes out of the same account...but I'll be happy so long as it's not seafood....

7:19 pm

hahaha nut...nice dig...ill get you my pretty

*looks around* I don't see anyone strange....

7:20 pm

andy - the word for fe (stinky, rotting) is normally spelled 'foe***'. Hope that helps.

7:20 pm

Fe5/18 - rotting, putrid, very stinky.

7:20 pm

fe + a very small fish is a ***dler

7:20 pm

EB - Put your specs on!

fe5/18 fe + medical abbrev. for thrice daily

7:20 pm

7:24 pm

andy, i went to the bottom, but nothing there to move?

7:24 pm

aknitter - I see you're working on a bi-coloured sock now! Is that for Johnny D?

7:24 pm

chj, you whipper snapper you

7:24 pm

sigh, johnny

7:24 pm

he is soooo delicious

7:24 pm

40 lashes for that fish

7:25 pm

Who's delish?

7:25 pm

7:25 pm

i really liked him in finding neverland

7:25 pm

7:25 pm

i just like him

7:26 pm

Oh, pooh. Johnny Depp. Call me when he hits puberty.

7:26 pm

nut - my daughter's with you on that one!

7:26 pm

lol judi

7:26 pm

its the eyes nut

7:26 pm

7:26 pm

7:26 pm

lol mama bear

7:26 pm

fyi - still haven't got my start menu

7:26 pm

7:27 pm

7:27 pm

I'd have either of them!

7:27 pm

aw chj, you know you want orlando

7:27 pm

nut - go to the bottom and see if you get a cross, drag it up

7:27 pm

I'll take em both!

7:27 pm

Or both chj!

7:27 pm

aknitter - I agree, it's in the eyes, the cute butt, the making you laugh... I was talking about my chap, of course! (Truly, he does have all those attributes.) Mind you, so does Johnny Depp...

7:27 pm

ill take mrs. richard gere...who grew up in my hometown by the way

7:27 pm

why ty chj, i'd be happy with that

7:27 pm

Nut, when you move your mouse around the lower left hand corner, do you get any indication that something is there?

7:27 pm

tried that mama, and i'm fairly certain that chj just wants me to reboot to be rid of me

7:27 pm

Hey, with men, we're lucky if they have three attributes: Opposable thumbs, a job and not a ridiculous amount of back hair.

7:27 pm

none lb, it's like it just vanished

7:28 pm

back hair --- shudder

7:28 pm

she smart as a whip that nut

7:28 pm

judi, my husband has one of those three

7:28 pm

not even gonna ask nut

7:28 pm

Do you need it at the mo nut? If not just bear with it and it'll prob be ok when you switch back on tomorrow

armhair, up near the shoulder's more gross than back hair

7:28 pm

oh..hes bald?

7:28 pm

nut, i'm afraid that rebooting maybe the only way to get it back up. where's andy, he's the IT dude

7:29 pm

no chj, he has opposable thumbs

7:29 pm

nut - I think lbd's right!

7:29 pm

What about neck hair? And while we're at it, nose and ear hair. It's genetics run amok I tell you.

7:29 pm

okay okay, i'll shut it down when i go to bed

7:30 pm

Hmmnnn. My ex was extra hairy...

7:30 pm

good, that means you'll be staying awhile nut!

7:30 pm

hey now, ya'll are ripping on the hubby nut

must be related to the testosterone poisoning they experience

7:30 pm

must we discuss hair in all the wrong places? ewwww

7:30 pm

awww man, list says one more, grid says 2...

7:30 pm

neck hair can be shaved, and eewww about the nose and ear hairs

7:30 pm

I used to hate hirsute men (other than hair in the more usual places, head included), but when I met my chap none of that seemed to matter any more... he's lovely and I love him to bits, hair and all.

7:30 pm

i like to tell him that his happy trail never stops, straight up his chest and down his back

7:30 pm

why do you suppose it disappears in some places and reappears in the oddest ones? what's with that

7:30 pm

No, nut - I'm merely speaking in grossly generalized terms.

7:31 pm

aknitter - Are you talking about menopausal women now or about men? LOL

7:31 pm

and mine is only thirty now, onlyl think of his hairy potential

7:31 pm

i think it has to do with evolution! lol

7:31 pm

lol aknitter - if only we knew

ditto Jac

well all, hubby is calling...off for dinner!! bye everyone!!!

7:31 pm

That's why women don't have all that hair like men. We're more evolved.

7:31 pm

bye EB enjoy dinner

7:31 pm

bye EB

7:32 pm

oh jac

7:32 pm

Mine's 37 now and he didn't look that hairy at 20 (from the photos I've seen).

7:32 pm

bye EB!!! have a nice dinner

7:32 pm

hey metal checked out those sites. nice patterns etc

7:32 pm

well at least my hair is in the right place...on the top of my head

7:32 pm

hair gives such torture potential

7:32 pm

It's great fun pulling out ingrown ones from chins!

7:33 pm

Wax on, wax off.

7:33 pm

Maybe I shouldn't have said that!

7:33 pm

nut - LOL!!

glad you liked them aknitter. if I come across any others, I'll pass them along

7:33 pm

sounds like a little s and m there Tinks

7:33 pm

re 5/10 please (and a side of wax)

7:33 pm

rofl judi

7:33 pm

you don't like what they say, just grab a fistful of forest

oooh, lbd, now you're talking

7:33 pm

hee hee

7:33 pm

lbd - I daren't mention hairy buttocks then. ROFLOL.

7:33 pm

knitter, recycle

7:34 pm

Enjoy your meal EB (if you haven't gone already).x

7:34 pm

look at it again aknitter

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

lbd i think that is the 5/12 i need the 5/10

7:35 pm

Yes 2 - get rid of that nasty middle bit!

7:35 pm

aknitter, look again. ;)

7:35 pm

nut - tweeze him 2!

re5/10 to visualize once more

7:35 pm

Mmm. The heartbreak of uni-brow. Ever so last ice age.

good one lbd

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

bang! bang! whoosh! ka-POW!!!!

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

whoo hoo Mamma

7:35 pm

jac, what and let the other wome see how dead sexy he is?

7:35 pm

Wax his nads? Ouch!

7:35 pm

Men with one eyebrow are thought to have criminal tendencies. Mine has 2 nice eyebrows, not over hairy, and they're natural.

wtg Mamabear!

7:36 pm

Yee hah mamabear!

7:36 pm

lol judi!

or wax his nads....

7:36 pm

no no no...owie! Judi, there is a depliatory called Nads.

7:36 pm

jac, everyone knows that its the men with big glasses with yellowed lenses that have the criminal tendencies

7:37 pm

only by effete highbrows who call themselves 'Lord'....

7:37 pm

Judi - have you never heard of the back, cr**k and sac wax? Some very funny cartoons on the net about that one!

7:37 pm

just look at the pa megans law website for proof

7:37 pm

I tried Nads once. Dismal (and painful) failure.

7:37 pm

nads doesNOT work

7:38 pm

What exactly is NADs?

7:38 pm

Judi - you sadist! You never did? Did you? I joke about it, but I wouldn't...

7:38 pm

tinks - testicles.

7:38 pm

never tried the stuff, just the name made me feel weird

7:38 pm

Or rather testicular sac.

7:38 pm

I meant as a depilatory...

7:38 pm

nads is also no heat wax hair removal

7:39 pm

Ah, can see that would be painful

7:39 pm

hi, all-- quite the chat! :D

7:39 pm

I DID try it. Followed the directions to the letter. After the first pull, the rest of the tub went right into the trash bin.

7:39 pm

This chatlog's getting out of hand! Does anyone need a clue for a grid word? (She asks in desperation, before they get zapped offline.)

7:39 pm

hey libberebbalerous

neve know what you'll walk into here

7:39 pm

hi, nut!

7:40 pm

I've tried a few home wax alternatives and decided it's best to leave it to the pros

7:40 pm

Hi lib!

7:40 pm

Hi liba

7:40 pm

I am back to give clues

7:40 pm

Wow, I just joined in and reviewed the recent chat. I thought, "The words 'hair' or 'hirsute' must be in the grid." But, alas, they are not. And if I didn't get waxed I would have the "unibrow", thanks to my Italian DNA.

7:40 pm

http://www.inpeakcondition.com/ tinks you can check the stuff out here, scroll down the page to read more about it.

7:40 pm

should I leave & re-enter? hi, tinks!:-)

7:41 pm

tinks - Can you not leave your chap as nature intended him?

7:41 pm

scrab,, according ot someone, you have criminal tendencies then

7:41 pm

I think after the reviews here I don't even want to consider it lbd!

7:41 pm

jac, never leave it as nature inteneded, uninteresting

7:41 pm

Well, I'm off to do something constructive - like make coffee for tomorrow a.m. Tonight's motto is:

7:41 pm

Scrabbler - sorry, that was me, re the uni-brow.

7:42 pm

This AM's chat ventured into USA politics and then there were some real fireworks. Now it's body hair--locations and removal techniques. LOL

7:42 pm

better than politics i dare say

7:42 pm

Beware of uni-browed, hirsute milkmen posing as door-to-door fish mongers.

7:42 pm

Things didn't work out - not because of the hair - and we aren't together anymore...

7:42 pm

USA politics--always touchy

7:42 pm

rofl Judi

7:42 pm

Scrabbler - like I've said before and will no doubt say again, when you sign into Babble you never know what you will find.

7:43 pm

Judi - LOL.

7:43 pm

Yes, today has been absolutely fascinating.

7:43 pm

i think we need a fish selling unibrowed politician in the us

7:43 pm

de6, 33--cannot locate it, any help?

7:44 pm

But is there anyone here who needs clues?

7:44 pm

defit

7:44 pm

george harrison had unibrow & he was nice...

7:44 pm

id never say no to clues

de6/33 to render a bomb inert

7:44 pm

to sort out an unexploded bomb you de**** it

7:44 pm

lib - George was a relative of mine and so I'm glad you said that. He was a lovely guy.

7:45 pm

what do you need june?

7:45 pm

TY--I was having defit dere

7:45 pm

jac, you are related to the great george?

7:45 pm

Wow!

7:45 pm

really, jacula? how cool!

7:45 pm

are you musical too Jac?

7:45 pm

(I'd have still plucked those middle brow hairs out given the chance, though!)

7:46 pm

Cool, Jacula!

7:46 pm

lol, jac!

7:46 pm

When is your next CD coming out Jacula?

7:46 pm

tinks - I'm not sure I can really sing (without a good echo) but I am a published poet, writer and lyricist.

bye for now everyone, see you at flip time

7:47 pm

'Bye metal. See you next grid.

7:47 pm

7:47 pm

Excellent Jac - you'll have to point us as to where to look

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

That's sad

7:48 pm

7:49 pm

That would be cool - can you post some there Jac?

7:49 pm

nut - re poems in BabAnon - I don't think I have. There's the parody song thread, though.

7:49 pm

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

motion seconded!

7:50 pm

motion seconded!

7:50 pm

nut - okay, but not tonight. It's 1.49am here.

7:50 pm

I guess poems from by book of cat poems would be a good start?

7:50 pm

and thirded...

7:50 pm

okay jac, i'll take that promise

7:50 pm

my goodness, as I read the chat I had to check I was at the right site!

7:51 pm

7:51 pm

Oh dear, it's lucky I'm working at home tomorrow! Can get up and start whilst still in jammies!

7:51 pm

Hi jg

7:52 pm

hi tinks, any babbling going on here or just gabbling!

7:52 pm

Jac - that sounds excellent - cats suits me!

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

I was reading all that hairy business, it did make me chuckle

7:52 pm

We're all ready to give clues - just ask

7:52 pm

Well, I am here for clues if anyone needs them...

7:52 pm

jg - if you want a clue, just ask. That's what I'm here for, apart from insomniac chatting.

7:53 pm

hi all

7:53 pm

Or should that be 'insomniacal' or maybe 'maniacal'?:)

7:53 pm

People are nattering coz not many are asking for clues.

7:53 pm

Hi Nat

7:53 pm

7:56 pm

thanks!

7:56 pm

No - some of them took me a while too june

7:57 pm

the trick to beating insomnia is to wind down, not come in here and get wound up, frazzled and bedazzled.....

7:57 pm

junebaby - is that blond or blonde?

7:57 pm

But that is so difficult to do BrandyJ

7:57 pm

um, blonde?

7:58 pm

BJ - If I go to bed and He Who Imagines In His Wildest Dreams That He Must Be Obeyed is snoring like a styful of pigs, whilst blowing like a hurricane on the back of my neck, what am I to do??

7:58 pm

or5, 10?

7:59 pm

Scrabbler - it's a root.

7:59 pm

go to another room..... He sounds like me..... I've woken up to the echoes of my snores....

7:59 pm

Shove him out the bed Jac! Pretend your asleep as he crashes on the floor!

7:59 pm

Scrabbler - think Iris.

7:59 pm

BJ - I am not sleeping on the couch! There IS no other spare room.

7:59 pm

OK, iris -----> eyeball

7:59 pm

hello all

7:59 pm

think chuck * minus the N

8:00 pm

So I've come to this room: the office.

8:00 pm

Hi eno

8:00 pm

I monkeyed it--TY

8:00 pm

Hi Enomis.

8:00 pm

hi enomis

8:00 pm

anybody has clues for the 8 letter word?

8:01 pm

Jac--i had the snoring problem for a while and later found out I had sleep apnea. now i snore no more

8:02 pm

the people who are most concerned are the wo****** eno

8:02 pm

I'm lucky, my wife snores almost as bad as me since she gained weight, but insomnia has never plagued me. My problem is getting 8 hours of sleep with about 5 minutes of rest. I get more rest in the hour that she is up putting on her warpaint and feathers (did I mention she's a nurse?) than I do all night.

8:02 pm

thanks links

8:02 pm

yw eno

8:03 pm

hi Jac! I've found my way to Babble for the same reason as you ....

8:03 pm

fe5/18?

8:03 pm

i am trying without lickety - it"s hard!

8:03 pm

You did brandy - I don't see how that works tho

8:03 pm

I've been tested for apnea twice. I do not have it. That would be an easy out for me. Instead I just snore like an idling locomotive.....

8:04 pm

me too enomis65

8:04 pm

I agree eno - got down to 18 before I resorted to Lickety -t'was tough

8:04 pm

i'm sure the snoring is a pain, but you should be really glad you don't have the apnea. it's really bad for your heart if you don't treat it.

8:04 pm

that was good tinks.

8:05 pm

wow i am at 58 and it is painful ;)

8:05 pm

Nat - ver y smelly - stagnant water is fe***

8:05 pm

ty tinks

8:05 pm

or is an eyeball, what part?

8:05 pm

I did sneak some lurky clues!

8:05 pm

well of course tinks!!

8:06 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

8:06 pm

hi min

hi jess!

By the way, congraulations to al ofl the finishers!YAY

8:07 pm

hi min

8:07 pm

the iris...

8:07 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the su 5/14 word please

8:07 pm

most people only snore on their backs, I snore on both sides as well....... laying on my stomach is way too uncomfortable as well as suffocating.... A CPAC machine would be such a nice fix though. I have all of the symtoms of apnea except the most importatn one. My wife says I do stop breathing, tests say I don't. Although I have ditched 40 pounds over the last few years so that may have stopped the stopping part. Didn't seem to be a problem till I quit smoking and gained 60 pounds....

8:07 pm

ty min, nat

8:07 pm

a kind of leather

8:08 pm

su5/14 - think animal hide

Sebastian was speechless. Pancho pointed out some of the sights.

9:17 pm

wo6/30 first four letters of the fretting person and that's **

9:17 pm

wo 5/18 could also be the most bad

9:17 pm

bonkler, ty, ty, ty!

9:17 pm

"That over there, that's a bad inn, kid. That's where the big guy lost his clothes and had to just wear what they found for him. He fair tore the place apart that morning!"

9:17 pm

Opt - have you finished?

9:18 pm

Sebastian smiled wryly. He had little love for the brutish abductor.

9:18 pm

Hi Ren :)

9:18 pm

stid - oy! Stop telling story pictures for clues on here; that's my job! LOL.

9:18 pm

9:20 pm

Thanks. I'll see you all tommorrow

9:20 pm

Congratulations opt on your fireworks!Hooray for U!

9:20 pm

Pancho whistled at a couple of women on the side of the road. They were the strangest clothes Sebastian had ever seen: short skirts almost to their knees and tall boots, shirts that were apparently too small, because they didn't close properly over their bosoms, and the most outlandish hats! He grinned at them, thinking of how appalled his more restrained sister and mother would be.

9:20 pm

YAY opt! good night!

9:20 pm

Oh, has the story started? Sorry Stid!

9:20 pm

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

9:20 pm

9:22 pm

txs bonker

9:22 pm

re 5/18 after the victory you did it again and re*** the game

9:23 pm

One of the women seemed to have something wrong with her eyes, and the other had a mouth of a color Sebastian had never seen on a person. Pancho lauged at his amazement. "Haven't you never seen a courtesan, boy?"

9:23 pm

bonker - don't get iy sorry

9:23 pm

Sebastian's eyes grew big and he looked around the side of the wagon at the rapidly disappearing women.

9:23 pm

Stid - is it on BabAnon or in the new place now? Reading the story?

9:23 pm

The old chapters are still at BabAnon, the new ones will go to babblestory.com directly from here.

9:25 pm

Hi grannyg! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:25 pm

Soon, they were driving past large furnaces, and the sound of hammers on iron drowned out all the other noises. The smell of the slag was intense.

9:25 pm

9:25 pm

And then the cattle yards, where the sound and smell of beasts being slaughtered made Sebastian and Pancho gag.

9:28 pm

9:28 pm

Hi LeslieAnn! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:29 pm

LOL thanks tinks!

9:29 pm

yes chj!

ty, ty, ty

9:29 pm

The roads were filthy -- the offal of the pack animals, the animals being led to slaughter and the debris of hundreds of days of traffic made passage difficult. Sebastian was glad that he was not walking.

hey leslieann - long time, no see! how's it going, busy getting those wedding plans in action?

9:29 pm

apparantly the tunnel was too big to fit through the internet..ill try again...but you did get the espresso didnt you?

9:29 pm

stid - I know that smell. Gagging now.

9:30 pm

hey leslie! won't be long now girl!

9:30 pm

ty ty ty I couldn't see it for looking.

ole, ole

9:30 pm

Already he felt lost. They had taken so many twists and turns coming in, sometimes seeming to nearly curve back to edge of the city before plunging again into the mad, fascinating crowds.

9:30 pm

yes ma'am! 5 weeks to go!

9:30 pm

6 to go - all s's

9:30 pm

got the expresso chj! thanks!

9:30 pm

9:32 pm

Hi whitewitch1111!How are you doing? It's storytime

9:32 pm

no sir

hiya whitewitch! having bb withdrawl?

how difficult is it the grid today?

I know Min....I am a little bit late...

grid is not so bad - got to 20 before i needed the list

Hi helen...I miss BB

9:34 pm

i don't miss the jerks winning!

and I had Erika and Boggie....

I meant hate

9:34 pm

The grid isn't too bad.I did 60 before going to the list

9:35 pm

The buildings were wide and tall. They cantilevered out, each level a little further toward the street than the one below, until the sky seemed to disappear. It was like driving through a very tall, dimly lit tunnel.

i hate boog too - it sickens me he thinks he's some kind of winner, cause he's not

lol I agree helen...

lol leslie - hey, i guess you missed my earlier question on your wedding progress, how's it giong?

9:36 pm

although, hk and witch, i thought it was very interesting in the last episode that everyone picked on erika, like she was a big ho, when she was the one who actually liked him, and he was the big ho

he is such a shame

9:36 pm

well off to bed now... after ER. Do you think Abby will lose the baby?

9:36 pm

Clue for sn7/44 please? and ty

9:36 pm

no i answered! it is coming along, but still lots and lots to do

right leslie

9:37 pm

Suddenly, the cobbled streets gave way to a wooden wharf. Sebastian, who had never seen anything bigger than a rowboat, gasped at the size and number of ships and all the activity.

9:37 pm

Goodbye Enomis65! I will see you tomorrow in the log

I wish I could apply for BB8

9:37 pm

lots of white stuff - more than usual granny g

9:37 pm

Pancho grinned, "Impressive, isn't it? I remember my first time too! It was truly --"

9:37 pm

The sn 7/44 word is a superlative of sn 4/8 grannyg.

9:37 pm

good night leslieann!

9:37 pm

sn7- having more of the white stuff

9:38 pm

Thanks. thought I'd tried all the combinations but missed that one.

9:38 pm

not leaving!

9:38 pm

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

9:39 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the de 6/21 word please

okay leslie - so you're saying it's me then?!?!?! like i'm the one not paying attention ?!?!?! lol - i went to a wedding this weekend, know the bride well, she had it outdoors at the forest preserves & it was actually one of the best i've ever been too, she had this huge notebook, lol really worked hard, but it paid off very well!

9:39 pm

Sorry to interrupt again,but I am almost done w/grid

9:40 pm

stop that immediately Min!!! De****!!

leslie - ITA about erika - smear campaign

9:40 pm

yeah, i have a big binder o' stuff, but that's not to say the apt. doesn't look like a wedding magazine exploded in here. lots of diy projects (invites, programs, centerpieces etc.)

whitewitch - why can't you apply?

9:40 pm

He cursed as a large barrel came swinging off a ship's hoist, the guide rope on the end trailing through the air. A loud splash announced the reason for the barrel.

9:40 pm

what is ita?

9:40 pm

no 5/10 anyone?

pluralize the no 4/4

9:41 pm

White Witch - could you really cope with all those cameras?

9:41 pm

Minveryork - the de 6/21 I have is to cease

9:41 pm

LOL LeslieAnn! I know it's going to be wonderful and beautiful to look back on. Have you scheduled any "downtime" for yourself in the last week?

I Totally Agree

helen - I am not a US citizen

9:42 pm

plural of the no4/4/ before Nat

9:42 pm

Nat dark file is a film no** and plural

leslie - you making alot of the stuff yourself? my bride made these huge rosebud balls, it all sounded so weird but it was really very lovely

9:42 pm

MYork-couln't be better. Thanks for asking. And you?

9:42 pm

Doh! thanks

WW - is that in the rules?

9:42 pm

oooh i thought i was missing something, hk. stid, not a whole lot, we're down a few folks at work so i can't take too much time off

9:43 pm

The barrel slammed into the side of the wagon, pushing it sideways several feet and knocking the boards apart where it impacted.

tinks - after few days you forget the cameras...and I don't care about them...don't forget the germans invented the nude beach...lol

helen - yes it is in the rules....

9:43 pm

Clue for fe5, anyone?

9:44 pm

yes, hk, i made everything for the invites, centerpieces, and am going to do programs, placecards etc.

9:44 pm

I would love to think I could do it - and think I could be entertaining, but just couldn't cope with 24/7 filming

9:44 pm

witch, maybe if you told them you liked nude beaches they would waive the us rule

awww, that's too bad - no actually it's good, cause almost everyone on those shows ends up getting hated unless they are pure angels like jani, kaysar & hardy - who should have been an all-star before any of them ----- hardy=hot, hot, hot

lol helen

9:44 pm

grant very smelly swamp water is fe***

9:44 pm

I am finished!Thank you everybody for all your clues.

9:45 pm

yayyyy minver!

leslie - you little control freak -who would've guessed, hahahaha!!

9:45 pm

Sebastian was knocked to one side and fell out of the wagon. Pancho struggled to control the horse, and finally managed to calm it down several ships away.

I agree helen

9:45 pm

YAY min!!!

9:45 pm

Sebastian lost sight of him for a moment...

9:45 pm

I will shut-up now for the rest of storytime!Sorry stid

9:45 pm

YAY Minveryork!!!

9:45 pm

And was roughly grabbed by the largest man in the party.

9:46 pm

nah, i think the word is "thrifty," or, "cheapskate," whichever you prefer

ROFL leslie - about the beaches - hahahaha- they would print up special shirts for ww - beach-ho

9:46 pm

"Trying to get away, were you?" he rasped, reaching for his whip.

9:46 pm

Min, don't shut up, I like your comments!

wtg minver !!!!!!

9:46 pm

YAY Min! *dancing for joy*

9:47 pm

Sebastian turned pale.

9:47 pm

yay, min!

yep - control freaks always use excuses like that - typical, typical - you know i'm just giving you some grief - i like homemade much better cause it's more personal & unique!

9:47 pm

wo6/30?

hiya lib!!!

9:48 pm

C'mon Stid - am waitng for the next bit!

Helen - I was thinking about getting in contact with Janey and invite her to St. Maarten....she mentioned in one of the shows that she would like to see St. Maarten....I am right here...house is big enough

9:48 pm

"Where's Pancho?" The man walked ahead, pushing Sebastian along roughly in front. He reached the wagon and assessed the damage.

9:48 pm

Hi libarebel! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

uf- pl people who fret

9:49 pm

"Bah!" he spat on the ground. "Looks like we lost some of our stuff."

9:49 pm

all right, fine, i'm a control freak too ;)

ww - that would be awesome - i bet she would be great to hang out with & she could probably really use some rest & relaxation away from prying eyes

9:49 pm

sorry - watching ER from Winnipeg - back later

leslie - aha !!! knew it! LOL

well helen let me try....

and I like the ww-beach idea lol

9:51 pm

Pancho came around the other side of the wagon, looking grim. "That cursed Lady Mary!" he exclaimed, "They nearly got us last year, too! Why don't they replace that faulty hoist?"

ww - yeah let us know how that goes, then you can introduce her to all her babble fans! - although, she is probably getting tons of offers from all kinds of people/places

9:51 pm

The big man laughed, "Or the faulty crew!" He let go of Sebastian, who rubbed his bruised arm resentfully.

9:52 pm

hi, helen!

9:52 pm

"Here, boy! Start unloading the wagon."

I will do that...

9:52 pm

hi, just stopped by to say hello to all my fellow babblers

fuse

sorry

9:52 pm

hi annie!

9:52 pm

Sebastian grabbed the first box and looked around. He couldn't see where he was to put anything.

9:53 pm

Pancho turned him around and gave him a shove toward the closest boat.

9:53 pm

tink- TYVM. Ufrunner- wo6 is an odd one, but take wo7 before it and substitute cross letter for its last two letters

okay - catch you all later, maybe at the flip, bye now :)

9:54 pm

bye hk!

bye helen

9:54 pm

wo.6.30 Charles Dicken's "Little Do****" but change the first cons.

9:54 pm

hi, LA

9:55 pm

It was a sad little barque, with a rusty anchor chain and a flimsy-looking plank. The rigging was not frayed -- exactly -- but even Sebastian's inexperienced eye could tell it was not as well maintained as many of the others.

9:55 pm

good night helen!

9:55 pm

He gingerly started up the plank, which buckled and bowed at his every step.

9:55 pm

G'nite Helen

9:56 pm

The men on board crowded around to watch him, and the men on the wharf and other ships nearby hooted and hollered.

9:56 pm

Anyone else for funny fingered clue?

9:57 pm

His cheeks and ears burned, but he made his way on deck and stood, waiting for someone to tell him what to do next. A man in a funny hat growled, "Put it in the hatch boy, are you stoopid?"

9:58 pm

Of do Ipick up on Stid's story tomorrow

9:58 pm

later today infact

9:58 pm

Sebastian tried to find a "hatch." But Pancho was right behind him. "Here, kid, this way," he said adding, "give the kid a break Red, he's never been on a boat before."

9:58 pm

not sure what you're asking, tinks?

9:59 pm

ER over now - very powerful episode - supposed be here at fliptime but satellite dish enables time shifting so could watch earlier, phew. Stid I have a lot of catching up to do!

9:59 pm

Does anyone need any clues ?

9:59 pm

last re 5/18, tinks?

9:59 pm

I'm back. computer decided it didn't want babble so took me out. 1 word to go - clue for so7/28 please???

9:59 pm

Pancho led Sebastian into the hold and showed him where to put the boxes. Then he took him on a quick tour belowdecks and gave him names for a few other places.

9:59 pm

Now for a lte supper as usual!

10:00 pm

the most apologetic grannyg

10:00 pm

so7/28 - more so than so618

10:00 pm

so 7.28 male children and then add 2 vowels

10:00 pm

and then make it comparative

10:01 pm

there are 2 so 7/28's

10:01 pm

By evening, the supplies were stowed and the crew was assembled on deck. The gulls and ospreys overhead were calling the dinner hour as Sebastian was given the choice: stay and be part of the crew or leave and try to make his way home.

10:02 pm

re 5/18 anyone?

10:02 pm

Yeah, I need the other one - not the male children

10:02 pm

The choice sounded hollow. He doubted he could find his way out of the city, let alone home without help. He knew no one... He quickly signed his name in the book and stood back.

10:02 pm

My clue below was the other

10:03 pm

His adventure was about to begin.

10:03 pm

I'll try an alternative if you need

10:03 pm

re 5/18--to come in first again

10:03 pm

if he stays on board, he will really grow up

10:03 pm

** a quick reminder: the new chapters will go up at babblestory.com from now on. ** back later.

10:03 pm

oh! inge, before you go -- did that do what you hoped?

10:04 pm

10:22 pm

night annie!

10:23 pm

Jai, I actually live in the Tampa Bay area, now. We had no problems here at all, except for a little flooding. How has it been in Ms in the last year?

10:24 pm

Nite Annie, Hi chj

10:25 pm

pida, i've always wanted to try tupelo honey, we have a rare honey here made from kiawe (a relative of mesquite) that comes out white, soooo tasty.

10:25 pm

Like a nuclear blast zone....My house is STILL not repaired due to red tape and lack of contractors on the right side who aren't all booked....Lost a major bridge between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, causing all sorts of traffic jams six miles from my house....yuk, yuk, yuk!

10:26 pm

can anyone clue the first wo7/44?

10:26 pm

natasha, one who frets

10:26 pm

someone who is anxious, natasha

10:27 pm

I have that one, thanks. I think there is supposed to be one before that.

10:27 pm

um, never mind. can't see straight. I didn't have it, but thought I did.

10:27 pm

natasha, there is one after the plural of that one, a wo7/44, wo7/44 a lot

10:28 pm

Best of luck with the repairs, Jai. I have a friend in Homestead, that just finally got the rest of her place repaired, and they didn't get hit anywhere near as bad as you did. Had problems with the insurance companies paying for repairs.

10:28 pm

i blame moose and squirrel, natasha

10:28 pm

there is the word that sounds like "want"- past tense? got that it is a 6-

10:29 pm

LOL, leslieann. I think you're right!

10:29 pm

okay, the chapter is up at babblestory.com

10:29 pm

hi Jai!

10:29 pm

hi stid!

10:29 pm

Fran, Did you ever see the movie "Ullee's Gold"? It was about tupelo honey production. My family (and I) were beekeepers in So Fla for years.

10:29 pm

i don't think i have pida.

10:29 pm

For those who want to go directly to the most recent chapter every time, try babblestory.com/today.html it will automatically redirect you to the most recent installment.

10:30 pm

hi pida!

10:30 pm

TY< Pida. It will go when it is supposed to, I guess....my bathroom ceiling is about to collapse in- it will if we get any more rain....$%#@!!!!

10:30 pm

you're too good to us, stid

10:30 pm

Hi stid

10:31 pm

pida - where are you? I'm originally from Miami... my mom still lives there, she's the only one in her neighborhood without a blue tarp for a roof...

10:31 pm

:-)

10:31 pm

oh no, Jai! not more in the saga of the blue tarp roof?

10:31 pm

Jai, I hope you haven't been getting the rain we've had lately. We got 2 1/2 inches Tues night. But better rain the hurricanes.

10:31 pm

I have a blue roof....

10:32 pm

so is the last wo6 as painfully obvious as the last clue I asked for?

10:32 pm

my mom and God made a deal.. if he would get her thru last hurr season she'd sell the house b4 this one.. so far she hasn't kept her end of the deal... but we cross our fingers every day

10:32 pm

Oh, yes, the ceilings are falling in now....the kitchen went a week ago...

10:32 pm

I'm in the Tampa Bay area, now, but I lived in Homestead for 30 years.

10:33 pm

I'm so sorry... I lived there for Andrew and lost everything. It is soooo frustrating. Jai - I can't imagine...

10:33 pm

no natasha, it's a weird one, same first 5 letters, but add another consonant at the end

10:33 pm

No- it starts out as the same, but ends with a short, two letter wi=ord that means "That thing"

10:33 pm

Jai, didn't you get one of the "FEMA" trailers, they were bragging about on the news?

10:33 pm

ok, I have no clue what that means. out comes the dictionary. and thank you.

10:34 pm

ty all for your caring and understanding this past year...Babble has made me laugh thru it all...

10:34 pm

Nope, no trailer, my house was considered "livable"...

10:34 pm

{{{Jai}}}

10:35 pm

Jai - sometimes you just have to laugh... just to keep from crying... {{{{hugs}}}}

10:35 pm

hug pile! *hugs*

10:35 pm

Your house was deemed "livable" by people who would never, ever live in it themselves . . . I feel for you, jai

10:35 pm

*jumps on hug pile*

10:36 pm

*getting in on the hug action*

10:36 pm

*jumps on top of hug pile*

10:36 pm

Aw, gee <tears>....I love you guys.....

10:36 pm

ouch... stid, i think you just elbowed me in the eye

10:37 pm

ouch! that was my foot! lol

10:37 pm

Are we playing Twister now??

10:37 pm

whee, al done, now I can go off and do something else.. see you later

10:37 pm

*pulls elbows in* sorry LeslieAnn, expected the fat roll to cushion that...

10:37 pm

bye misu! congrats!

10:37 pm

left hand on green!

10:37 pm

bye misu!!

10:37 pm

Bye and Congrats, Misu!

10:38 pm

10:38 pm

10:38 pm

right foot on blue!

10:38 pm

YAY Misu! bye.

10:38 pm

Jai - I got it... what's next?

10:38 pm

Jai, how am I to get my 5'4" foot up on your 20' blue tarp?

10:38 pm

haha! if you elbowed me in the rear it'd be a different story ;)

10:39 pm

jai - spin again, spin again, spin again

10:39 pm

I/m getting of the top of the pile, so everybody can breath again. Sorry!!!

10:40 pm

You climb the ladder, of course.....the PERMANENT ladder....LOL

10:40 pm

ROFL... this chat is getting so silly!

10:40 pm

getting?

10:42 pm

Well, I am tired. Was up early to take the kid to get his braces this morning (blue and green braces... go figure) *yawn*

10:42 pm

last so7 anyone?

10:43 pm

more apologetic

10:43 pm

natasha, just change the first letter of the first wo7

10:43 pm

Best of luck to you jai. Goodnight everyone. Have to get up early so I can babble, before I go to have a stress. Like anyone has to be tested to see if they have stress, nowdays. See ya in the am

10:43 pm

I have that one--really, I do this time

10:43 pm

So am I...went out for dinner tonight to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary and my <gulp> 50th birthday, which is MOnday.....I am so full I think I need to lay down until the flip...

10:44 pm

10:44 pm

Nite everyone, and congrats on the birthday, and anniversery

10:45 pm

10:45 pm

thanks fran! only one left

10:45 pm

later jai!

10:45 pm

10:46 pm

I know it is an S, but I keep comparing to Lickety's list and can't find it. long day...

10:47 pm

how many letters? from the word stats

10:47 pm

how many letters?

10:47 pm

and which S does it start with

10:47 pm

and how many points do you have so far?

10:48 pm

and what is your cat's name? and your favorite color?

10:48 pm

rofl LA!

10:48 pm

yes, all this will help us determine the word you are missing

10:49 pm

it is an so, not sure yet how many letters, i have 1604 points, my cat's name was torbin (he died) and my favorite color is purple. whew!

10:49 pm

right, and what is your bank account number, and your PIN? that will really help us clue

10:49 pm

look under word stats, natasha

10:49 pm

natasha, it's an so4/4

10:49 pm

oh, I've heard about people like you LeslieAnn!

10:50 pm

what? *bats eyelashes*

10:50 pm

do you have the one that sounds like being apologetic?

10:50 pm

LA, is that how you're paying for your honeymoon? lol

10:50 pm

Thanks fran--you guys are really nice and helpful, not to mention funny

10:51 pm

That was it! Fireworks!

10:51 pm

fireworks??

10:51 pm

yup, fran, i'm coming over to your house to help pay for the ride back!

10:51 pm

yayyy natasha!

10:51 pm

yay natasha!!!!

10:51 pm

not going to be much help LA, but if you get stranded we have an extra room.

10:52 pm

i'll let you babysit for room and board.

10:52 pm

I may not be the best at this game yet, but I'm already addicted

10:52 pm

hmmm, sounds like a plan... the new hubby can fix all your computer problems

10:52 pm

Fran, I don't think that would make for a very good honeymoon!

10:52 pm

natasha, it gets easier with time, as your vocabulary fills with useless babble words!

10:53 pm

you mean by leaving me a new one? :-)

10:53 pm

hmmm, i will have to see about that

10:54 pm

LA, we have some of the same fave websites.

10:54 pm

oh really? i start getting the shakes if i don't visit those at least once a day

10:55 pm

I go to gofugyourself daily, the others I check in on less regularly. I have too many knitting sites I visit daily

10:55 pm

those are cool sites LA, i have an RSS feed for cuteoverload, but i haven't looked at my news reader for a while.

10:55 pm

which is why I never actually finish knitting anything!

10:56 pm

haha, i even read their stuff for the magazine during fashion week, good but not as entertaining as the regular blog

10:56 pm

the fug girls are quite famous in the blog world

10:57 pm

yeah, I read it too and have to agree. They lost a lot of their edge for fashion week.

10:57 pm

i think they won a best writing award bloggy, or webby, or whatever those awards are... they deserve it, their writing is genius

10:58 pm

i think fugly is used by a lot of people now also

10:59 pm

ro 6/18?

10:59 pm

more of a pinkish hue

11:00 pm

ahhh tried that like 5 times with an s on the end instead of the r

11:01 pm

can I help with any other clues before I head off to bed?

11:02 pm

no 6, either?

11:03 pm

which no 6/18 or no6/30?

11:03 pm

LA, more inquisitive

11:03 pm

um, the no 6/30 nat! :)

11:03 pm

the other one is sort of a compound word, no + sage (as in advice)

11:03 pm

(thanks fran)

11:04 pm

last one is fe 5/18...?

11:04 pm

LA, rotten, smelly, putrid

11:04 pm

nasty water

11:05 pm

oh! got it, fireworks! thanks natasha and fran!

11:05 pm

yay LA!!!!

11:05 pm

congrats!

11:06 pm

brb, diaper-changing time

11:06 pm

I must head out now. Thanks for all your help and sorry to interrupt your conversation earlier.

11:06 pm

welcome to the nuthouse natasha! have a great night!

11:06 pm

you too!

11:08 pm

franny, sorry to leave when you're gone, but i gotta get some sleep! bye!

11:19 pm

do they post the answers after it is finished?

11:21 pm

no, jenga, but you can check the chat in Archives, or today's chat by clicking on the little square above right

11:21 pm

thanks

11:21 pm

hi all -back now

11:21 pm

hi jilli!

11:22 pm

jenga, you can view the word lists in the archives after the flip.

11:22 pm

nobody's asked me about my leaf - I'm sure because they all know it's an oak - but ah, what kind of an oak!

11:24 pm

a black oak?

11:24 pm

oh, white oak, just looked at your profile jilli.

11:28 pm

A Garry Oak, Fran - almost sacred around here! It has an endangered ecosystem full of beautiful wild flowers, like the blue camas lily and so on. HUmans are blamed for its endangerment, but around my house it's the deer who are devastating the wild flowers and eating the acorns.

11:29 pm

and thanks, fran, about the tip re the word lists in the archives! Hadn't noticed *slapping own wrist*

11:33 pm

Good Evening, Everyone -- all finished?

11:34 pm

Hi. No, not done yet. Any clues for some of the 7 words please? I have so7/28, wo744 and another wo7/44.

11:35 pm

sn 7: more of the white stuff falling (brrrrr)

11:35 pm

ty, cybernan. Any more please?

11:36 pm

so 7/28: more so 6/18

11:36 pm

biltong, another so7/28, starts with multiple male offspring and ends like the other so7

11:36 pm

so 7/29: more regretful

11:37 pm

wo7/44 x2: one who stews over something, and the things one stews over

11:38 pm

ty, Fran and cybernan got all the 7's.

11:38 pm

cool biltong, what else do you need?

11:39 pm

i'm finished too - just left here for a minute to get the dishes done but can now stick around and clue

11:39 pm

I have 42 left. Don't think I'll make it today. I'll give it a bash anyway. Could you help with the top right hand e, one word only?

11:40 pm

biltong, it's an ei4/5

11:40 pm

the ducky one, minus last letter

11:40 pm

I don't believe it! Thanks

11:41 pm

ei + french of

11:41 pm

At this stage, one always tends to overlook the obvious ones.

11:42 pm

i totally missed that one until i went to the list biltong

11:43 pm

have you got the st 5-6-6?

11:44 pm

or blue su*** shoes?

11:45 pm

No, but have them now! Thank you so much.

11:45 pm

goooo biltong!

11:46 pm

are you wprking alphabetically, biltong?

11:46 pm

I don't, Nan, hint? st 5 6 6 ?

11:46 pm

No, not this time. I normally do. Sort of clutching at straws, I guess.

11:47 pm

st+ all in a *** (line), for the 6's add a different consonant to the end

11:47 pm

all the st words are related - st + *** your boat and build on that

11:48 pm

Thank you, nan!

11:48 pm

anything else, ankh?

11:49 pm

the stinky fe 5/18?

11:49 pm

hi ankh!

11:49 pm

Oh, jilli, thanks, but I'm not going for it tonight... just dawdling. I have 70 to go, no way to do the whole thing. Just doing this until Dear One pulls my plug. :)

11:49 pm

Hi Fran!

wo4/8, plural of a chinese currency (at least sounds like it)

11:52 pm

wo6/30, same first 5 letters as fret words + a T

11:53 pm

wo- sounds like what you get when a frog pees on you and it's plural

11:53 pm

wo5/18, is most bad

11:53 pm

past tense of 'to get the lottery money" + curvaceous letter

11:53 pm

Thanks, you guys are great. *Typing away furiously*
