12:51 am

Rlee, you are welcome.

12:51 am

i did it really bad before :p

12:51 am

I have eg 7, fl 7, fl 7, la 7, le 7, qu 7, un 8. Melon, any hints would be welcomed.

12:51 am

Oh, Sprite, sure. I can't type that way, but I'll be thinking of him & wishin' him luck.

8s - re8 - lets go, sa8 - carcingen found in sassafrass, un8 - what recipient of a letter did to the envelope.

12:52 am

all the best and good luck to your hubby sprite

12:52 am

12:52 am

My thoughts are with you and your sweetie Sprite

there are 3 fl 7

12:53 am

Oh, that's a BRILLIANT clue! Props to whomever came up with it

12:53 am

fingers and toes crossed, sprite!

fl 7 44 - opens raincoat most inappropriately, thus showing fl5/18, plural is fl 5/ 44 the second. fl 7 52 - gets the feathers needed to fly

12:54 am

thanks for that fe7, mymuse

thx lynxxx

3:23 am

what a word agian ty

3:34 am

Hello everyone...

3:34 am

Good evening Douglas

3:34 am

Good morning Douglas. It's either an early start or a late bedtime for you.

3:37 am

I'm not really sure what it is...

3:38 am

Best not to think about it too much, then. You'll need all your energy for the grid.

3:38 am

But I'm glad there are some Babblers about...

3:40 am

This is the time when the British contingent start to sign on, the insomniac Americans finally go to bed and the Australians enjoy their evening wind-down.

3:40 am

Morning all. The grid seems a bit kinky today, a touch of S&M!

3:41 am

Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches, The last time I needed twenty stitches, To sew up the gash that you made with your lash As we dance to the masochism tango!

3:42 am

Douglas used a woooord.

3:42 am

Tom Lehrer.........Good morning all

3:43 am

Good morning Frances.

3:43 am

Morning Haz......quietly babbling away here.

3:43 am

I have a confession to make...about 32 years ago, I sang that song in front of a couple hundred of my peers...

3:44 am

But you were young then, and lacking in judgement.

3:44 am

How about 'Poisoning pidgeons in the Park'

3:44 am

True...

3:45 am

I dimly remember that, Douglas. Did 'I drank champagne from you shoe, tralala, I was drunk by the time I was through,' come from that song?

3:46 am

I used to love Tom Lehrer - so irreverent!

3:46 am

Spring is here, as a budding is here, Life is skittles and life is beer, I think the lovliest time of the year is the spring I do, Don't you? Course you do!

3:46 am

You'd have to be awfully picky about whose shoe you would be prepared to drink champagne from.

3:47 am

The song you refer to hydra, is called "The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz"

3:47 am

Which was the last song of the second side of "Songs by Tom Lehrer."

3:48 am

Oh yes, of course! How about the cynical May and September one? Whifch album was that on? And Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park? The animal rights people would lynch him for that these days!

3:50 am

"When You Are Old And Gray" is on the same album as "The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz," and "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" is on the album "More by Tom Lehrer"

3:50 am

What a good memory you have. Who painted your icon? It's an interesting portrait.

3:51 am

Go to http://www.google.com/musica?aid=eyEIo 2KMPVI&sa=X&oi=music&ct=result, and you will find the 5 Tom Lehrer albums...

3:52 am

Thanks, I will, post-Babble.

3:53 am

I actually don't know who painted it...I only know it is supposed to be a picture of Rumi, back from the day when the theme was poets...

3:54 am

Now I'm admitting my ignorance. Who is Rumi?

3:55 am

Just had to go and look through my records. I can only find 'An Evening with Tom Lehrer' and 'Tom Lehrer Revisited'

3:55 am

Persian/Turkish poet of the 13th century. Perhaps you've heard of a whirling dervish? He was the guy who got the dervishes whirling in the first place...

3:56 am

Wow. I went to see some genuine whirling dervishes at the Festival Hall in London. Though I've been many times to Turkey, I never saw any there.

3:58 am

ooooo Rumi's poetry is *wonderful*

3:59 am

Got to 163 words. It's time for a break and a whirlwind tidy up.

4:00 am

I'm only on 82 and now have to take library books back. Found today's ghost word - sushi. See everyone l8r.

Bye Jacula.

5:26 am

hi everybody!

5:27 am

first time in here tonight, how is the grid so far?

5:27 am

Hello FranMag!

5:27 am

hi haz!

5:29 am

It's a nice grid today - just a few left to find.

5:30 am

not that it matters either way! i would do the grid no matter what.

5:31 am

I know what you mean, but some grids are more satisfying than others. This one has a nice mix of the familiar and the more unusual.

5:32 am

that's good, good length too.

5:33 am

Yesterday's was a bit of a slog towards the end. I had limited time so just had to keep the head down and keep going.

5:34 am

However, this one is done now, so I should really get on with some other stuff. Happy hunting!

5:34 am

yay haz! bye!

5:36 am

good evening

5:36 am

hi andree!

5:38 am

bit quiet in her tonight Fran

5:39 am

i know, where is everyone?

5:39 am

5:39 am

I must have frightened them off

5:40 am

67 left, I will soldier on

5:40 am

you're way ahead of me andree, i've just started.

Hey Everyone!

5:41 am

hi lickety!

5:42 am

5:42 am

hi lickety

5:44 am

i think andree and i are the only ones here lickety!

5:44 am

you're not getting your usual warm welcome!

5:44 am

morning everyone

5:45 am

hi eva!

5:45 am

Hi All

5:45 am

hi dianne!

5:46 am

hi Eva and Diane

5:46 am

no, I just arrived and am quietly stasying away from the chatterbox, good morning to you all, and thanks lickety for the daily lists

5:47 am

hi inge!

5:47 am

hi inge

5:56 am

Hi Andree - was just hunting the last few and didn't see your post :)

6:03 am

why on earth is huss not in the dictionary?

6:05 am

I expect hussy probably is

must be an unearthly reason?

6:05 am

hi atalante!

6:05 am

must be. poor little unaccepted dogfish

6:05 am

hi afig!

6:05 am

hi fran :)

6:06 am

good morning all!

6:06 am

hi wolvie!

6:06 am

Any hints on the ge 5/16 -- my last word.

6:06 am

morniing wolvie

6:06 am

off to update my icon brb

6:06 am

hi Wolvie

6:06 am

ata, today's theme was your suggestion, where's your pre-raphaelite art?

6:06 am

OOOOOOOO! is it today? *runs to find somthing*

6:07 am

hi arb, don't have it yet

6:07 am

would that be the rock, ARB? first word I found whilst looking for an icon

6:07 am

hello. such dedicated babblers we are!

6:07 am

hi blood!

6:08 am

thanks wolvie!

6:08 am

hi Blood

6:08 am

hi bloodaxe!

6:08 am

today's grid is a little less intimidating after yesterdays.

6:08 am

Wolvie, what rock?

6:08 am

testing new icon...

6:09 am

ok, now I have something pre-Raph - Rossetti's "Beata Beatrix", my fave pre-Raph painting for many reasons

6:09 am

cool wolvie!

6:09 am

a hollow concretionary or nodular stone often lined with crystals, is the def ARB

6:09 am

very nice ata!

6:09 am

and yay for Waterhouse, Fran!

6:09 am

good heavens, 99 words in 20 minutes! Hope it stays easy like that

6:10 am

ge plus O**, as in a song to, sort of

6:10 am

feer

6:10 am

aha thank you -- you made me look in the opposite direction than I had been doing. FIREWORKS

6:10 am

congrats!!

6:10 am

was that the word??

6:10 am

twas, wolfie. thanks

6:11 am

i wasn't familiar with these artists ata, but when i did my search i was more drawn to waterhouse.

6:11 am

cool

6:11 am

yay arb!!!!

6:11 am

wolvie, sorry.

6:11 am

why so, ARB??

6:11 am

oh - I see -typo. No worries

6:12 am

Waterhouse's work is *incredibly* beautiful. Many other PR artists aren't quite so classically inclined and more of a "specicialised" taste

6:12 am

that must have been it ata!

6:13 am

I could look at Waterhouse painting for ever and a day I think :)

6:14 am

thanks for picking a great theme ata!

6:15 am

I'm glad you like it! I'm just randomly imposing my art tastes on everyone :)

6:16 am

well, it never hurts to learn or find something new!

6:16 am

too right!

6:17 am

whew, i'm glad the Ps were PHs and not PSs!

6:18 am

you made me look at that box, fran, thanks - got those 2

6:19 am

haven't made a start on those yet Fran

6:19 am

nice Qu words :-o

6:19 am

hi everyone :D

6:19 am

Actually, there aren't many wierd words today.

6:19 am

hi cj!

6:19 am

hi cj

6:19 am

hi CJ

6:19 am

Hey

6:19 am

yw wolvie!

6:20 am

ARB the Qu words arent 'normal'

6:20 am

how long are they cj?

6:21 am

my phantom of the night is squish

6:21 am

5 and 7 letters

6:21 am

Outside of the Eng;ish speaking world, q is used, often even without a u. I'm very used to seeing transliterated words from Arabic and Hebrew which use the q for a gutteral K sound.

6:21 am

I wanted squire, fran. :-)

6:22 am

and quisp didn't work either!

6:22 am

well, ARB - I am not - looks like these are going to be a tough thing for me to hunt down, should be fun. :-)

6:22 am

thanks cj!

6:23 am

is quisp a posh word for crisp? ;-)

6:23 am

it was a cereal brand that didn't quite take off i think

6:23 am

The qu 5/18 has only a single vowel, the u. The qu 7/44 is the plural (by "normal plural rules).

6:23 am

but i like your definition for sure!

6:24 am

rhymes with a well-known babbler

6:24 am

thanks, ARB! got the 5, now on to the 7

6:24 am

thanks arb and ata, got them!

6:25 am

thanks arb!

6:25 am

and the 7. thanks!

6:25 am

i'm going to remember those for scrabble!

6:25 am

Good Day Babblers I just woke up in my own bed for the first time in 6 weeks and I feel Great!!!!

6:25 am

another good one for scrabble is the same word but replace the U with an I

6:25 am

Check that they are in your scrabble dictionary, Fran.

6:25 am

hi kae!

6:26 am

i will arb! thanks

6:26 am

Hi Fran love your icon :)

6:26 am

I take it youve been on the move Faerie?

6:26 am

thanks kae!

6:26 am

LOL - faerie - you are a busy grrrl - and - hi!

6:26 am

whats the pictures about for today?

6:27 am

CJ25 yes as a matter of fact that's exactly what I'm doing Moving LOL

6:27 am

cj, pre-raphaelite art

6:27 am

HI Wolvie :)

6:27 am

moving to your new home :-)

6:27 am

YES

6:27 am

Great to travel, Faeriekae, and even better to come back to your own bed. We've been gone most of the summer, too, and it was a real pleasure to crawl into my own bed.

6:28 am

ARB - no truer words have ever been spoken

6:28 am

brb

6:29 am

I have to finish packing everything here in Michigan and then it's off to Kentucky to my new house where my family is :)

6:30 am

very cool faerie - hope the move is smooth

6:31 am

do you have to finish a puzzle for it to count in your rankings?

6:31 am

Lots of work. I only envy the opportunity to go through everything and get rid of unneeded/excess stuff

6:31 am

I moved out of my parents over a year ago - Im still sorting out post to be re-directed.

6:31 am

Yes, blood - I beleive you do - did you finish yesterday?

6:31 am

bloodaxe, once you start a puzzle it affects your ranking.

6:32 am

morning --- first time to Babble in about 2 weeks due to our move from Idaho to Massachusetts. fairiekae, I feel for you! We're still getting unpacked

6:32 am

dang. No. I quit with 76 words left. I just couldn't take it anymore. I had worked on it for 16 hours.

6:32 am

hi ch1212 - nice to see you back! Where 'bouts in Massa are you? I lived in Uxbridge for quite awhile

6:33 am

oh my God, blood - wow. I never got back. stayed at my 100 words. le sigh

6:33 am

Ive changed my icon to fit in so to speak

6:33 am

bloodaxe, they'll get easier as you play more!

6:33 am

We're in Athol, a relatively small rural area that is ladden with traffic :)

6:33 am

I know where that it, Ch - work take you there?

6:33 am

cool cj!

6:34 am

i sure hope you're right fran. Yesterday I felt like the end of finals week.

6:34 am

Although yesterday's was particularly long and tedious.

6:34 am

Yes, job related move. The leaves are just beginning to change and we think it's glorious here!

6:34 am

yes, yesterday's wasn't particularly hard, just really long!!

6:34 am

Good to be back with Babble! I've missed you all, and of course the game. Now I must go update my icon

6:35 am

yep - the timing of such a large one was bad for me - I ususally have folks over on Sundays during football season, so I couldn't play. :-(

6:35 am

it was going quickly for the time I was here, tho.

6:35 am

what team do you watch wolvie?

6:35 am

Hi again. I've typed all my on paper words in and now have 66 to find.

6:36 am

if you're concerned about rankings, then it's better to skip a puzzle that you don't think you'll finish, like wolvie did.

6:36 am

hi jac!!

6:36 am

Patriots. and Lions. Not a good day for me. :-)

6:36 am

i'm sorry. I hear the redskins were doing well?

6:36 am

Oh - I didn't skip it fran, I just didn't finish. I saved it for later, tho. :-)

6:37 am

not really, LOL - although they did win yesterday

6:37 am

Sorry everyone I just got booted off my computer due to "updates" LOL

6:37 am

Hi jac!

6:37 am

Hi Jacs :)

6:37 am

hey jac! we both picked waterhouse! i really like your choice!

6:37 am

hello again, faerie

6:38 am

hi again, faeriekae -- I was saying earlier I'm back on Babble after 2 weeks of moving across the U.S., so I feel for you with your move! Good luck with it

6:38 am

nice icon ch!

6:38 am

Ch - Thank you and glad to hear you got moved :)

6:38 am

Fran - Waterhouse is one of my favourites - picking the painting I liked the most was the difficulty. I have 'The Mermaid' (copy, not original!) in my hall. I chose 'The Soul of The Rose' for the icon though.

6:39 am

ch1212, you have landed in Massachusetts!!!!

6:39 am

it's beautiful jac!

6:39 am

Hi Inge nice to see you :)

6:39 am

I like yours, franmag, though I just changed mine so not sure if you mean the Star Trek stamp or the pre-raphael ... yes inge, we are in beautiful Massachusetts, where the leaves are glorious and the traffic is not

6:39 am

Fran - There's another of his painting called 'Good Neighbours' that I particularly like but it's a little wide to work as an icon.

6:40 am

yea, I have been lurking since 7 am, good grid today

6:40 am

come out and play, inge. :-)

6:40 am

faerie, let me know when you can receive plants

6:40 am

i'll have to go look it up jac

6:40 am

ch, i can see your pre-raphaelite icon

6:41 am

Good morning everyone. How is the grid today?

6:41 am

nice one scrabbler!

6:41 am

hi scrabbler - good grid so far

6:42 am

Inge I will thank you sooooooo much :)

6:42 am

Hi Scrabbler

6:42 am

Yesterday's grid was too long so I stopped.

6:42 am

i even have a new q word for my scrabble arsenal (if it works in the dictionary)

6:42 am

Hi Scrabbler

6:42 am

me too, scrabbler - I had too much to do.

6:42 am

hi pida!

6:42 am

Mornin' All...grid looks good today

6:42 am

hi Pida!

6:42 am

hi odin!

6:43 am

Inge actually I will be back in Kentucky by this weekend soooo. I could send you my new address and you could go ahead and send them this weekend if you'd like.

6:43 am

hi Odin - good so far

6:43 am

Fran - you'll find that painting at: http://www.johnwilliamwaterhouse.com/p aintings/painting1458.aspx

6:43 am

this is great, all the icons are so beautiful today

6:43 am

HI Odin, Hi Scrabbler

6:43 am

Off all week so I have good intentions of finishing every day...

6:44 am

A fireworks vacation for Odin

6:44 am

OK Faerie, my e mail is in my profile

6:44 am

Thanks Inge :)

6:45 am

Thanks Scrabbler...been quite some time since I have had any time off..acquisitions have a way of making things better and worse.

6:45 am

thanks for the link jac, that is a great painting!

6:45 am

and I lam not withi it yet Fran, wait till my husband comes upstairs and helps find a picture

6:45 am

brb

6:45 am

y/w, Fran. Many of his other paintings are on that site. It's a feat for the eyes.

6:45 am

i'll watch for it inge, it's a fun theme to search for.

6:46 am

Good morning everyone. Is the grid easier today. At least there are fewer words, and I already found the qu's

6:46 am

*feast, not feat!

6:46 am

(Mind you, I am about to get vari-focals. LOL!)

6:47 am

just added the link to my favorites to go look at it later, thanks jac!

6:47 am

gosh everyone's waterhouse-d today!

6:47 am

OK, I can't get the 2 Q's. I look for small victories, like greying out boxes, but what are those Q's? I am looking on the dictionary list on lickety's page.

6:47 am

wonderful icons today!

6:48 am

Scrabbler - the q's rhyme with a Babbler who recently did a tour of Europe.

6:48 am

q plus an anagram of a word meaning to hurry. No need to use that i!

6:48 am

scrabbler, the clue that got it for me was, the only vowel in it is the U.

6:48 am

ARB clued them, scarbbler - the only vowel is the u, and it has a similarity to a babbler's name

6:48 am

Hi again, Haz.

6:48 am

hi haz!

6:48 am

And then plural for the seven.

6:48 am

5 and 7 letters scrabbler

6:49 am

haz, you're back!

6:49 am

great clue, jacs

6:49 am

Hi Jacula, Fran etc. I'm not really back. You're all having hallucinations. I'm really cleaning.

6:49 am

and I'm really working

6:50 am

Haz - like I'm really vacuuming.;)

6:50 am

sounds like une an her sleep-babbling the other night

6:50 am

See! I'm not the only one.

6:50 am

Haz - if we're hallucinating it must be due to all those E's.

6:50 am

and i really should be asleep!!

6:50 am

hee, jac - true

6:51 am

see you all later or tomorrow! night!

6:51 am

I found them on the list of 5 letter words--I never heard of those words. TY for hints

6:51 am

You're right - far too many of them!

6:51 am

Sleep well, Fran.

6:51 am

bye Fran!

6:51 am

night fran!

6:51 am

Night Fran - and off I go again......

6:52 am

list of 5 letter words??

6:52 am

had to do three more words! night!!!

6:52 am

lol - sure, fran

6:52 am

I'm back, nite Fran

6:52 am

Haz - just run your duster over my monitor before you go. It might help me see more words...

6:53 am

hi Andree!

6:53 am

gosh, the log really is looking *pretty* today!

6:53 am

clue for 1st re 6/21 and re 6/27 please

6:55 am

re6/21 is to d4 again.

6:55 am

I'm back...Inge you have mail :)

6:56 am

hi faerie - again!

6:56 am

LOL Wolvie

6:56 am

thx Jac

6:57 am

Andree - haven't really started the re's yet - the only 6/27 I have is to fe** again.

6:57 am

I need to note that as we travelled across the many states (it took a week with all our stuff in two vehicles) I marvelled at how many babblers I could place --- in Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, New York, to Massachusetts. Even though we were just passing through it was nice to "know" people in each state!

6:58 am

ch that is so nice

6:58 am

You passed me in western NY state!

6:58 am

cool, ch - did you meet any of them?

6:59 am

I'll be in Burlington, Vt next week--anybody there?

6:59 am

no, we didn't stop long anywhere -- but I thought about the different Babblers whose screen names I know who live in those states :)

6:59 am

thx Wolvie

6:59 am

Scrabbler we spent the night outside of Buffalo in Batavia

7:00 am

was that it Andree? cool! :-)

7:00 am

I am 35 mi south of Buffalo, and Batavia is about 30 mi east, halfway between Bflo and Rochester.

7:00 am

mornin babblers

7:01 am

Hi evan.

7:01 am

haven't looked at lickety yet - trying to be good. :-)

7:01 am

hi evan!

7:01 am

Is that Starry Night? evanadine

7:01 am

hello Evan :)

7:01 am

I wondered, Scrabbler -- your name (and icon since I'm visual) flashed through my mind as we entered the state

7:02 am

yes Wolvie, its the only 6/27 in re's

7:02 am

nice to know, Andree - thanks!

7:02 am

I knew that I played Babble better last week, like I had help! LOL

7:03 am

and hi evan

7:03 am

Hey, Scrabbler. I just saw that you will be in the big Burl. I live about an hour away.

7:04 am

We will be there, and visit Sherburn, Waterbury, ....

7:04 am

ch I did get to meet one fellow babbler during this move and I'm very blessed to have got to meet her. It is Shorty and I love her to pieces.

7:04 am

hi Gramma

7:04 am

Leaf peeping?

7:04 am

Hi Gramma

7:04 am

Ben & Jerry's had better stock up for my visit to their factory!

7:04 am

who did you get to meet, faeriekae?

7:04 am

LOL Scrabbler

7:05 am

hope everyone had a good weekend...

7:05 am

I did, I did

7:05 am

Hi everyone! I got a new computer and Dr.God helped me get my identity back.

7:05 am

Ch I got to meet Shorty :)

7:05 am

very cool, gramma!

7:05 am

We heard that Burlington is a neat city, so we picked it for our annual fall trip. We have done Cape Cod, Cape May, Adirondacks, Saratoga Springs...I go with a group of my tennis buddies. We always have a blast.

7:05 am

Congrats Gramma

7:06 am

Hi gramma! Shorty -- I saw that on your note but was confused if Shorty was with you when you met the fellow babbler or not -- now the light dawns!

7:06 am

A new computer--fun.

7:06 am

ty, faeriekae.

7:06 am

LOL

7:07 am

I've missed babbling soooo much.

7:07 am

Scrabbler, it's actually my 1st new computer. I used to get the kids hand-me-downs

7:11 am

Gramma enjoy YOUR new computer. No more hand me downs :)

7:35 am

hi shorty

7:35 am

hi andree!!

7:37 am

any clues for the q's? hehe i love rhyming sentences

7:37 am

clue for er 5/12 and er5/10 please

7:37 am

its ok to eat not-so-good-for-you food when you feel like crap, right?

7:38 am

bloo if you know the babbler's name from Texas who was recently in Europe (she likes to play without lists, too) -- the qu rhymes with her screen name minus the y

7:38 am

It's obligatory eva.

7:38 am

er 5/12 is corrosion

7:38 am

ni ch1212 sorry

7:38 am

andree, the 5/10 I have is e plus a flower

7:39 am

Afternoon all, How is the grid today?

7:39 am

Bloo qu5/18 used to be a coin of Saudi Arabia - no other vowels. You can then pluralise it for qu7/44

7:39 am

Bloo in that case think about the famous chocolate maker from Pennsylvania ...

7:39 am

it's a good one fmitch

7:39 am

hi FM!

7:39 am

Hi Frances!

7:39 am

Hi Fmitch - it's a nice grid I think.

7:40 am

Hi Wolvie - how are you today?

7:40 am

thx Wolvie and bloo

7:40 am

bloo -- no vowel directly after the QU, if that helps...

7:40 am

sounds like to be quiet, bloo, but add an r

7:40 am

too busy looking for a word that actually looked like a word LOL

7:41 am

Sorry - hi FMitch too and anyone else I may forget to name.

Hi to all. Why can't I have huss? If I can have it for dinner I should be able to have it for Babble!!

9:55 am

Hi JFB - Atalante raised that question earlier. It's a type of fish, isn't it?

9:55 am

Or quisp for breakfast ..

9:55 am

9:56 am

aah, ty... didn't know that

9:56 am

It's a very nice fuss. Sorry to duplicate Atalante's question - just in from work.

9:56 am

Do they chase catfish?

9:56 am

tor, you are too funny! (-:

9:57 am

You've probably guessed that was meant to be fish!!

9:57 am

Morning all. Beautiful day here in Alaska. 28 degrees. Winter's on the way.

10:01 am

Hello MKL

10:02 am

OMG Mkl and I thought 42 was cold

10:02 am

hi MKL

10:02 am

Brrr, Alaska.

10:02 am

I'm stuck on some le words. Clue me on le5,16 and the two le5,14s?

10:03 am

fl5, 16 that is not meaty?

10:03 am

le5/16 - most often associated with a window and what is underneath it?

10:04 am

Mkl, like a windowsill, it's a window le*** + pl

10:04 am

le5/14 - first is french for 'light' as in not heavy. Or think of it as a body part plus the American medical drama. The second le5/14 has the same structure but ends in a plural letter.

10:05 am

I knew there were some easy words there. They were just hiding from me.

10:05 am

fl5/16 - plural of fl4/7 - collections of ice?

10:05 am

My dogfish has fl5/16?

10:06 am

Thanks, Haz, I have those. I know the word I want is fle** but not bugs and not meat.

10:06 am

LOL, torgone!

10:06 am

fl 5, back in a fl***

10:06 am

dogfishes have water fl***

10:06 am

ahk... what baby birdies do.. when they get their feathers..

10:07 am

Thanks, Pida, but I know it's fle** somehow. But not bugs, and not bandaid-color.

10:07 am

Hi Ata :)

10:07 am

fl5/16 - annoying pests, or its homonym for excapes

10:07 am

hey faerie!!!!!

10:07 am

Hi, Alo! No, that's an fl6, I need an fl5.

10:07 am

AH! Haz, it was the homonym! I had the 4 version, but not the 5, doh!

10:08 am

hi peri, you were in the grid yesterday! :-)

10:15 am

ends with the last letters of a recently traveling Babbler who went to Europe, peri

10:15 am

sa6/27 begins a sequence ending in the sa8. Use the first three letters of the 'secure' word, then three letters of what actors play on stage. The sa7/40 adds a vowel, then the 8 is pluralised

10:15 am

11:18 am

fe 5/16 is like the le 5/10...

11:19 am

But if she was in a robbery, why does she still have 10 million dollars?

11:20 am

11:20 am

thans stid and rae!!!

Or was she the robber? In which case, you're aiding and abetting!

11:20 am

She is very clever this poor orphened robbed girl to find a computer in her hour of need and send e mails

11:20 am

the letter mentions something about her father's house and his assets...

11:20 am

11:21 am

the last letter I got was about a guy they found in the desert who was really rich from oil money

11:21 am

12:46 pm

just take my name, remove h and y, add q. it's just funny cause only the one vowel.

Me too. Dictionary rejects the only word I can find in the genuine dictionary.

12:46 pm

12:47 pm

plural

plural

12:47 pm

Jonsie - try the unbelievable - qu + 3 consonants, The other qis the pl of the 5

12:47 pm

How can it have only one vowel when you can't get out of that corner with less than 2?

12:47 pm

well I'll be . . . .

12:47 pm

ty

12:47 pm

wow, thanks a million

there's a really good hint from pida below

12:48 pm

sally this is babble so type the letters rather than think logically

12:49 pm

It's akin to the willing suspension of disbelief. Hello FMitch!

12:49 pm

That u is a vowel no matter how you type it. ;)

12:50 pm

Hey Haz, Thunder and rain is abounding at the mo.

12:50 pm

We've had REALLY heavy rain as well.

12:50 pm

Sally, and remember that the qu counts as 2 tiles, so you just have to add 3 consonants

12:51 pm

exactly, sally. the word has 1 vowel - the u :)

12:51 pm

fe 7/40 and the last fe 4/7

12:51 pm

fe 7 with cost

12:52 pm

fe7/40 - not having to pay a price, fe4/7 add an old fashioned term for before.

I am now under 25 and have all the F words. You want an F word? Ask me! I'll give you a stinking F word!

2:11 pm

NM -- just spotted it!

2:11 pm

Nan -- like that little car "Un**** at any speed"

Whats today's theme?

2:12 pm

pre-rapaelites

2:12 pm

I wish I did, Stid! Its "Beata Beatrix" by Rossetti, my fav pre-raphaelite pic!

The paintings, you mean?

2:12 pm

yes, lady

2:12 pm

Pre-Raphaelites. What's a pre-Raphaelite?

2:12 pm

hi all.....

2:12 pm

i almost chose that one myself ata...love it

I love those - Waterhouse especially

2:13 pm

I love themes like this -- I need to look around for something and I get to learn about new people and places.

2:13 pm

can i see the words youll are making???

2:13 pm

no flame,only the ones you make.

2:13 pm

hi flameback, you gotta make your own, just clues are given in the chat log

2:14 pm

Does anyone have a relatively easy (but not a gimme) clue for the EG 7?

2:14 pm

I just adore Dante Rossetti's work. I could sit in front of his paintings all day long ... such an interesting man as well

2:14 pm

Stid, think humble...

2:14 pm

so6/21?

2:14 pm

if you don't have a big eg* you are eg******

Rossetti is my other fave

2:14 pm

stid, humble? Never!

2:14 pm

2:15 pm

Ogden Nash held that bothersome nephews and nieces, Are ample excuses for breaking *****s

2:15 pm

so6 filet of so** + not them but **

2:15 pm

I like Rossetti's work, but like Mozart or Bach you see it everywhere! I like to find the ones who were contemporaries but who offer new things.

2:16 pm

LOL Douglas! If only it could stand up in court!

2:16 pm

Stid!!!! Wah! I don't think that's true at all. His really famous pics are, but there is a *lot* that people don't see and don't know

2:16 pm

thank you abe and chj, and done.

2:17 pm

past tense of an art word bichon

2:17 pm

i was watching for the un6/30 clue but then i missed it,may i have a clue for that one please?

2:17 pm

bichon- it's a medium of drawing...first part sounds like a girl's name (ms. simpson)

2:17 pm

;-) Atalante, you are right -- still I like to find the lesser-known artists for the different perspectives.

2:18 pm

:) Please, stid, keep an eye on me. :)

2:18 pm

never watched the simpsons

2:18 pm

well obviously someone has to, klaurel!

2:18 pm

2:18 pm

doss

Ms Simpson has a first name?

2:19 pm

thank you, it makes up for my giving up with exhaustion from yesterday's grid. ;-)

2:19 pm

I believe a team informally known as the ***** plays in the American League Western Division

oh right, nevermind

2:19 pm

thanks abe and dorens - i needed that too

2:19 pm

bichon- not cartoon simpsons- celebrity who was married to nick lachey. the first part of ge 7 sounds like her name

2:19 pm

yw

2:19 pm

ow! silly me! thanks dorens and abe!

2:19 pm

klaurel, that child has a future as a writer. I've never heard quite so vivid a description of a sore throat

2:20 pm

smalls mageee!

oh, that Mrs Simpson

2:20 pm

*grins* sorry, just had to stand up for Rossetti :P The PRs are so amazing, all of them, and their lives were so amazing too - so interconnected!

2:20 pm

:) yep, Inge!

2:20 pm

hey nut! did you fix your sh5?

2:20 pm

or word...

2:33 pm

Afternoon all. Okay, I've spent far too much time trying to figure out the Q's. Q clues please?

2:33 pm

sh5 female + **e man river

2:33 pm

hi Judi. The Q words use the U as the vowel. the 7 is the plural

2:33 pm

Hi Judi- there are no other vowels in the word- after the qu

2:34 pm

aaaah and fireworks!!!!! thank you thank you

2:34 pm

congrats to Debb!

2:34 pm

yahooooooooooooooooooooooo debb

2:34 pm

WTG debb!!!!

2:34 pm

whew! stid - i like ice cream runny - but i think i took a bit too long!

2:34 pm

Thank you, Abe79. Stupid evil Q's anyway.

2:35 pm

2:35 pm

yw Judi :)

2:35 pm

wtg debb

2:35 pm

4, lynxxx

2:35 pm

atalante, how goes it?

2:35 pm

yayyyy debb!

2:35 pm

and i'm an ashamed jew during the week of roshhashona not to have gotten that

2:35 pm

TY abe

2:36 pm

LOL debb!

2:37 pm

Actually, wouldn't it be more embarrassing next week? I thought yom kippur was the atonement time.

2:37 pm

thinking i need to atone a bit more....

2:37 pm

this week is reflection time i believe

2:38 pm

er5/12 hint?

2:38 pm

oh. I wish I retained more of my studies from a few years ago. The cycles of jewish observances are really logical in how they flow from one to another. And they make seasonal sense, too.

2:39 pm

the second last ha6/21 any hints?

2:39 pm

finished!

2:39 pm

er 5/12 is what happens to the land surface if you remove the plants and then it rains...

2:39 pm

YAY Dippnall!

2:39 pm

Congrats Dippnall!

yayyy Dipp

2:39 pm

the second-to-last ha 6/21 is plural of the Hawaiian epithet for white person

2:39 pm

they are stid - and now i'm going to read a bit of judaism 101 to atone and reflect !

2:40 pm

thanks for the help earlier majmom!

2:40 pm

Later debb :-)

2:40 pm

oh DUH. Man how do I miss these things sometimes???

2:41 pm

oh it's an epithet? i just thought it was a term.

2:41 pm

ty again

2:41 pm

okay, since the migraine medicine is working so well, I think I should get up and do something productive.

2:41 pm

eg7/36 please?

2:42 pm

feel good stid!

stid, what do you take?

2:42 pm

thanks debb. see you-all later tonight.

2:43 pm

*ahem* rae requested a clue

2:43 pm

bye for now, stid

2:43 pm

thank you hursh! :) *waiting patiently*

2:44 pm

eg - one who is without a big head, or without of sense conceit

2:44 pm

DOH

2:44 pm

hm...people without big heads...

2:44 pm

does the sa8 end that way? or is it a compound? i can't figure it.

2:45 pm

sa 8 is the plural of sa 7 -- do you have that?

2:45 pm

when you're conceited - you have a big eg* --

2:45 pm

sa8: sa+to and *** + not more but l***

2:45 pm

sa8 - first 3 letters are that of an expesnive spice + parts that actors play

2:46 pm

oh I got the clue deb, thanks

2:46 pm

nope. (i'm not a very plural fishy person, in general)

2:46 pm

thanks cnan and lynxxxxxxxxx

2:46 pm

first eg4/6 please

2:46 pm

HI everyone

2:46 pm

hurshy: a very expensive yellow spice + an actor's part gives you the 7 -- plural for the 8

2:46 pm

ge 5/14? the one that apparently leads to the 7/40 which i also dont have?

2:47 pm

hi peri

2:47 pm

eg4.6 - keen but drop the a

2:47 pm

that sounds promising!

2:47 pm

ge+ double conSonant+goose egg

2:47 pm

thanks, lynxxx -- been looking for that one!

2:48 pm

that leaves me just one more 7 (and 25 other words...)

2:48 pm

missing some s's -- think they must be 5's and 6's -- anyone care to take a guess?

2:48 pm

thanks rae

2:49 pm

thanks lynxxx

2:49 pm

i'm in the same boat cnan - have you got the hebrew ones that you find at the end of some psalms?

2:49 pm

I'm working on the f's and findin all the s's...

2:50 pm

cybernan - have you got the so** of your shoe + you and me?

2:50 pm

how many words today?

2:50 pm

well i didn't at any rate, thanks lynxxx

2:50 pm

224

2:50 pm

no, the only word I know that comes at the end of a psalm starts with a

2:51 pm

but sometimes in hebrew... you know.... rebecca vs rebekah...

2:51 pm

hint on the Hebrew psalm ender? Starts with fe?

2:51 pm

oh you said STARTS with a

2:51 pm

no starts with SE

oooh ooooh!!!! I just got an re7 and re8 all by myself!!!!

2:51 pm

have that lynxxx

2:52 pm

if you have a bible handy and you flip through you'll see it in italics

Its teh little victories that count :)

2:52 pm

cybernan - also sh5.12 a sea sh*** but substitute te first l for a vowel

2:52 pm

it sounds like the disfigured lady in "the cage" later turned into "the menagerie"... (star trek)

2:52 pm

the only se 5 I have is the lily plural

2:53 pm

(there are 2 like lynxx just mentioned)

2:53 pm

(one of which is also hebrew! for the afterlife)

2:53 pm

the only bible I have in the house is only in English. My hubby got it at his confirmation

2:53 pm

anybody know so6,21?

2:53 pm

have that too, lynxx

2:54 pm

but in english, you still see this se5 hebrew word at the end of some psalms

2:54 pm

trust me, i hain't got a hebrew bible either

2:54 pm

OK list for me - 42 to go but getting nowhere - cu later

2:55 pm

Millerhead take the 5/10 above it and shove an extra vowel in it

2:55 pm

it also rhymes with dr. rathskotra on ER

2:55 pm

re5/12 please

2:56 pm

can't get to any of my bibles today -- the house is being painted and the library is se 6/21 off

2:56 pm

don't watch er

2:56 pm

peri, it's what kids do on the playground when someone messes up

2:56 pm

ok, well, it is hearties backwards, too

2:57 pm

feel so dumb -- just can't make any sense of that clue!

2:57 pm

NIamh, have no idea

2:57 pm

sorry - which one are you looking for cnan?

2:57 pm

ty niamh

2:58 pm

another word in the grid, which is often used in an alliterative combination with "hearty", plural, backwards.

2:58 pm

peri, it's plural of a 4/5

2:58 pm

glad to help Millerhead

2:58 pm

hows about them qus?

2:59 pm

Niamh, the plural of the re4/5 is the re6/21 which I have, need the re5/12

I am so not getting the "hearty" cluees

2:59 pm

they rhyme with me, they rhyme with me

2:59 pm

OK, last one! re5,16

2:59 pm

qu+go really fast but drop the vowel

2:59 pm

there's another plural... take the vowel out

2:59 pm

whew! -- got it -- thanks, hurshy

2:59 pm

i am nothing if not determined

3:00 pm

Ok, I'm hornswaggled here. I have all but two ha 5/12 and an ha6/21. I know them come after what angels have, but then I'm stumped. Any help at all?.

3:00 pm

thanks Niamh

3:00 pm

yw

3:00 pm

switch the middle letters of the 6 pl of what angels have, fit

3:00 pm

re6/27

3:00 pm

ha 5/12: ha + what matadors say!

3:01 pm

ha 6/21: plural of what angels have

3:01 pm

that gives me 12 se's, 10 sh's, 6 so's and 2 su's -- still missing 3 s's, if I counted correctly!

3:02 pm

Fireworks!

3:02 pm

fit1, rearrange the letters of the angel 6/21 then unplural it

3:02 pm

congrats miller

3:02 pm

Yay Miller

3:02 pm

bye all! thanks for the clues

3:02 pm

5:06 pm

GUYS GUYS GUYS!!! I got on to Lickety's!!!!

5:06 pm

LOL Andree! I felt that way all this morning. My last word today was a 4/5!

5:06 pm

he: missing a 4 and a 5 -- have get well, ane one(s) who are left something in a will

yayy Blood

5:06 pm

Woo-hoo Bloodaxe! (but now you won't need me any more... *sigh*)

hey everyone! 36 to go

5:07 pm

hi helen

5:07 pm

nan - copter/s

5:07 pm

Hi helen

5:07 pm

the last two he words are -- what tor just said.

5:07 pm

nice painting of mary mags hk

5:07 pm

hi helen!

5:07 pm

oh stid, i'll always need you!

5:07 pm

go helen go

5:07 pm

still need last sh5/12 and 5/18 please

just a little question here - i'm watching the news & i'm learning that it seems to be common practice (at least at this one dental clinic) to anethetize young patients for procdures, including cleaning - does anyone else find this outrageous?

5:08 pm

last sh 5/12 is the jewish place where the dead go. often transcribed as "hell"

5:08 pm

heli isn't in the grid *puzzled*

5:08 pm

hi everyone - back for my last 60

5:08 pm

the 5/18 is a bundle of something a sh*** of paper?

5:08 pm

hi saphyre!

5:08 pm

different end vowel Nan

5:08 pm

found them -- thanks

tx chj - i never pictured her like this myself - don't know what i thought she looked like, but not this :)

5:09 pm

need the 2 so 5/10 that are tofgether please

5:09 pm

helen, some children are very afraid of dentists and the only way to make them comfortable enough to work on them is to sedate them. Others, like one of my children, have problems with muscle control and some sedation can keep them from chewing or tongue thrusting involuntarily.

5:10 pm

have those, must be before that

5:10 pm

maybe my painting can go out with your painting

5:10 pm

magzel: bottom of shoe + vowel; then plural bottom of shoes

hmmm - well, there's sedation & then there's sedation - but there are so many dangers associated with putting someone under, it seems crazy to me -

5:11 pm

Andree -- the place you put knickknacks and books? on a sh***?

5:11 pm

must be first sh5/18 please

& no reason for kids to fear dentists -seems to me some behavioral desensitization makes more sense than putting kids under as a matter of practice

5:11 pm

thx stid

5:12 pm

3 left, last le word 6/18 please

5:12 pm

yes, and in general I wouldn't think it's a good idea, but I think that when the choice is between good dental care or otherwise... (and some kids fear dentists because they have little reason to trust any adult -- but that's another topic)

but that's why it was on the news, seems this one girl is not coming out of the anesthetic after 2-3 days - not sure

5:13 pm

last le word is the person who rents; the one who takes out the le 5 on a place

yeah stid - i see your point about the ones who can't trust any adult

5:13 pm

oh man! that's really bad -- sounds like she had an unexpected reaction?

5:14 pm

strike up the band! *dances over the grey tiles*

yeah - other patients are saying the dentist is a good guys & well credentialed - i just didn't realize it was so common

5:14 pm

helen, have you had time to check the babblestory.com website? How do you think the colors/fonts are? I have a few minutes and was going to try tweaking it.

5:15 pm

YAY NAN!!!! *joins in dance and tosses confetti*

i've seen my dentist have the adult lay down in the chair & then have the kid lay on top of the adult with the adult hugging the child - it seemed nice - i was sooooooo tempted to say - OUUUUUUCH, but i restrained my self, hahaha

5:15 pm

Of course, you can't know how everyone will react to any medication (like the time I hallucinated on a very common muscle relaxant).

5:15 pm

LOL helen!

5:16 pm

^5 stid -- btw -- sera was the one who introduced me to babble about a year ago now.

yayyy nan!

5:16 pm

oh! I thought it went the other way 'round! *grin* Bet she's really busy between kids and work!

5:16 pm

thanks, metal

5:17 pm

I should say!

5:17 pm

thx stid, get the clue but no luck with word, still need le6/18

stid - LOL - sounds like that muscle relaxent targeted your brain! - sorry to say, i have not been following the story - too much guilt over this 'to-read' pile of stuff i have here next to the bed

5:18 pm

Andree, try: opposite of "more" + either/**

5:18 pm

She teaches comp. sci. and math at a university in Alberta

5:19 pm

thx stid

5:19 pm

I know the reading guilt. I am trying to get through "sailing the wine-dark sea" about the origins and contributions of greek civilization... keep getting distracted by bad editing (grammatical and stylistic problems)

5:19 pm

last sh 5/12 please

5:19 pm

I am in awe of people who get advanced degrees/work while growing a family... I barely tread water just being "Mama"!

5:20 pm

last sh 5/12 is the hebrew abode of the dead...

oh stid - i so hate that - i am neurotic like that - i f i see a misspelling it's with me for pages & pages afterword

5:21 pm

no idea stid, sorry

5:21 pm

yep. So I have to put it down and go do other things for a while. It's not like it was the first draft (like my story with all its typos)...

stid - i'm not in awe of people like that - somewhere something is slipping, there aren't that many pure geniuses out there

5:23 pm

eg7/36 please?

5:23 pm

the phrase "the wine-dark sea" is from homer's odyssey is it not

5:23 pm

eg 7: opposite of "id" + opposite of "more"

hi BA!

5:23 pm

I think so, chj, but I read that in college over 20 years ago and my memory never was that great!

5:23 pm

thanks stid. see, i still need you!

i know that sounded harsh -in my experience, people with kids in graduate programs were always difficult when it came to scheduling - can't have two #1 priorities

5:24 pm

you again?!?!

5:24 pm

brb

5:24 pm

don't you have a life?

5:24 pm

eg = lack of sense of self, freudian

Apparently not

5:24 pm

yea, me either.

5:24 pm

that's true, helen. For me, it had to be the kids -- even my "career" went out the window when I needed to be with my infant.

Wait you're on here everyday too!

5:24 pm

hense why i'm here again.

We just bought a couch

5:25 pm

yep

5:25 pm

LOL! I love the civil conversations between babblers!

no saints have first home game at re-built superdome tonight :)

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

oh -- look at the time. Speaking of being a Mama, I have about an hour before my carling children come home from school. Need some "me" time... going to go watch some home improvement shows (not that they help) and knit. later all!

5:25 pm

I got on lickety's! and i'm done with the e's! congrats on the couch! is it new?

5:26 pm

bye stid!

5:26 pm

bye stidmama

LOL!! stid - yeah, my tenant is having real problems with her choice, she's really not the mom type & gave up her career & has been an emotional basketcase since, getting worse all the time, kid's 1 1/2 already too

Bye stid! happy knitting

You finally got lickety's to work BA?

5:27 pm

5:29 pm

I made him sign a contract

5:29 pm

Wow Wyrd - you deserve a medal -tho' I can't complain too much 'bout my two. My contraception talk could have been more effective but beside that OK

5:34 pm

They are the joy of my life actually & once I got over having to tell my mother it was all quite fun!

5:35 pm

ge5/14 and ge6/24 clues would be most welcome

5:35 pm

a little. i've only had a year in america, but i'll be doing another full year while i'm here. but the program is really intensive, so it will auctually be the equivalent of two years.

5:35 pm

cool.

5:36 pm

mo like consomme chilled in the ice box

5:36 pm

haha..i like your profile mab. our prescious chomsky is getting more and more well-known!

5:38 pm

wyrd - actually, i didn't really blunder into anything, cause they had all flown the coop already

5:39 pm

i like chavez as well. he's a little...um...eccentric? but really cool.

5:39 pm

5:39 pm

thanks for the clue mab...but i still dont get it

5:39 pm

Oh no. I misunderstood. I have not seen that.

6:06 pm

finished just in time to leave for go**, bye, happy babbling

6:06 pm

Anyone have any brilliant ideas for supplying heat to pigeons in below zero weather?

6:06 pm

bye Andree

6:07 pm

That sound you just heard was my question coming out of right field. :-)

mkl - where are the pigeons at?

what about enclosing the coop and installing electric lights?

6:07 pm

mkl are these pigeons in trees, or enclosed?

6:07 pm

please? the second he4/5?

6:07 pm

LOL mkl! lambswool lining for the coop?

6:08 pm

i can't monkey it for the life of me.

mkl - details !!!!!! we need details here !!!! LOL

6:08 pm

The coop is actually 20 by 14 feet. Too big to heat without costing a fortune. I have been using heat lamps the last few years, but am thinking some sort of radiant heat.

6:08 pm

thank you snow!

mkl - where do you have the coop? on your roof? on a porch? details !!!

6:09 pm

and angb, saph, and cat.

6:09 pm

yw

6:10 pm

yw blood

6:10 pm

My chickens all go into a smaller, insulated coop to sleep. Keeps the temp about 30 degrees higher. Pigeons won't do that though. Solar panels won't work here. Middle of winter we only get 4 or 5 hours of light

6:10 pm

you're welcome

6:10 pm

yw bllodaxe - lol I have a picture of you knitting little blankets1

saph - brilliant!

lol smowy

6:10 pm

The coop is actually a converted pole shed. 20ft x 14 ft x 14 ft high

3 to go

6:11 pm

OH me - the kids got to me! Yw bloodaxe -I know you're not knitting anything! Middle age is approaching fast!

mkl - what is a pole shed?

6:11 pm

haha..i was wondering about that!

go meta go !!!!

6:12 pm

Pigeons handle cold pretty well. Just looking for a small area where they can be a little more comfortable and still have enough room to get along with each other

6:12 pm

thanks helen - i feld dumb asking

6:12 pm

felt*

6:12 pm

A pole shed is used to keep a motorhome under. Just a frame with a roof. I enclosed this one. (I don't own a motorhome)

6:13 pm

ahh like a portable car port

mkl - i am asking all these questions cause i am trying to think of a way you can use igloos - the dog houses - we use them for german shepherds who are outside dogs year round

mkl - what did you enclose it with ?

6:13 pm

Just been off talking to the plague-ridden ones (daughter & her b/f). Seeing the discusssion about blankets for chickens... have a word with aknitter!

6:14 pm

Yeah. Our dog and the chickens do fine. The stupid pigeons fight if you keep them in too small an area

6:14 pm

man, 45 words left...that sure feels like a lot at this point.

mkl - if the 'floor' of you shed can hold igloos, i would try those - when the pigeons get cold, they can go in there - we put straw down - you may have to clean frequently though

6:14 pm

what do you need blood

lol jacula - yes!! aknitter to the rescue!!! LOL

6:15 pm

Actually an igloo would work well if I can figure out how to install heat in it

6:15 pm

Enough of this. Let's clue somebody

6:15 pm

how about the heat element they use for waterbeds

6:15 pm

a whole lot of l's and s's saph.

6:15 pm

i'm going to take a little break and come back in a bit.

6:15 pm

helen - the cavity wall insulating chaps are coming on Wednesday.

6:16 pm

Ah. Now that's a thought. Not too many amps. Slow, steady heat.

LOL jacula !! you gotta let me know how that works out for you ----- and still no word from my roofer :(

6:16 pm

exactly - i use them when starting seedlings

6:16 pm

you still here st?

6:17 pm

Nobody needs clues? Are we all finished?

so 6?

6:17 pm

mkl - I use a low-wattage heating element to keep my rabbit/guinea pig shed off freezing in winter.

6:17 pm

6:28 pm

snowy - just grateful she can remember David ******hoff

6:28 pm

yw snowy

I'm gone for a bit... have to set VCR's for tonight's taping, etc.

6:36 pm

Hi jilli! 'See' you in a bit. I must have a serious search for words now.

6:36 pm

sorry it's the other one I need

6:37 pm

finally made it past the half way point!!

6:37 pm

congrats zTink!

6:38 pm

snowy - other lo5/10 is the one who misses out.

6:39 pm

i'm not as good at this as some of you so I try to set my goal to at least completing half the puzzle

6:40 pm

ztink...that is where I am usually happy at to

6:40 pm

anything more is like a bonus

6:40 pm

zTink - You get better at it the more you play, but you must only play in the way that is comfortable for you.

6:40 pm

the clues that everyone gives are a great help!!

6:40 pm

Oh, that sounded a bit preachy! I think you know what I meant, though.

6:41 pm

not preachy

6:41 pm

It's only practise zTink -It does get easier the more you play & some of the people here are frighteningly clever but it's all about fun & babblers are nearlt 100 per cent good fun

6:41 pm

zTink - After the first buzz of getting a new grid, and I think most addicts will agree with me here, the clue giving and chat is the best fun!

6:42 pm

here here

6:42 pm

Yes. I do continue after the half way point and you're right, it does seem to get easier sometimes.

6:42 pm

also, w/ time you'll pick up "babblets"--words seen only here...

6:42 pm

71 and I think now I have to break out the lickety

6:43 pm

fantastic crowd on the whole! Theres always a welcome & some very good laughs1

6:43 pm

zTink - libarebel's right! You'll find all the words like 'phsaw' and miss something simple like 'beds'.

6:44 pm

Jac, I hate when that happens!

6:44 pm

lo one who loses out?

6:44 pm

or then you start seeing something like bedding and you think that isn't a word that doesnt even make sense

6:44 pm

zTink - You've been a member since 2003, I see. I guess you've resisted getting addicted. Well done, you!

6:45 pm

so 5/10???

6:45 pm

wurdy - that should have been 'pshaw'. Sorry, got distracted by the washing machine taking off on a spin cycle.

6:46 pm

I once that "honest" was "most hone" ...

6:46 pm

see, I knew that

6:46 pm

thought*

6:46 pm

For awhileI played a lot of Pogo games and then decided that it would be more worthwhile to exercise my brain here

6:46 pm

remluc - Haven't done all the s's yet, but the so5/10 I habe is plural foot or shoe bottoms.

6:46 pm

see, that is what I am talking about

6:46 pm

so - one is a plural of the bottom of your shoe & the other is the bottom of your shoe, singular + a vowel

6:47 pm

right, wurdy! :)

6:47 pm

I need the other one by that one

6:47 pm

back soon -drink break

6:48 pm

Ooh, thanks, snowy! Almost the French sun. I didn't have that one. BRB - just nipping off to hang last lot of washing out.

6:51 pm

6:58 pm

jacula...a little dense tonight but I will keep at it...those are my last two...do you need a hint perhaps?

6:59 pm

Okay, Nan, try ha* and the Spanish bullfight exclamation.

6:59 pm

7:02 pm

7:03 pm

Hi peri. I might need clues in a while...

7:04 pm

Thanks, peri! Got is straight away from your clue.

7:10 pm

no problem, Jac, glad to help.

7:10 pm

7:10 pm

No wonder I couldn't find it, looking for a 14-point word instead of a 12! Silly bovine, am I!

7:11 pm

jilli - No! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I've just seen your clue. I would have got it from that, too. So, thank you!xxx

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

It is nice to be on the giving end of clues for a change

7:12 pm

Hear hear!

7:13 pm

7:13 pm

I think my computer is on a bit of a go-slow (it needs an overhaul) and my brain isn't too good either at present, since I cracked my head real hard on a wall cupboard last Thursday night.

7:14 pm

7:38 pm

se4/4--se** of approval?

7:43 pm

There are 2 se 6/21 snowygirl

7:43 pm

It was on Lickety's list too, so no blame to him. It was just me being a short-sighted bovine.:(

7:44 pm

One is a plural of a 5/12, and the other is the past tense of a 4/4

7:44 pm

snowy -snake + double vowel and stick, se6/21 is past tense

7:44 pm

Oh dear - the germ-ridden ones are back downstairs again! (Daughter & her b/f.)

7:44 pm

And another that is a past tense of another 4/4

7:45 pm

I am leaving, hopefully someone else will take over the clue giving, see you all tomorrow

7:45 pm

7:46 pm

snowy-- se-- sounds like se** an enelope...

7:46 pm

And alt spelling of the envelope one.

7:46 pm

Holding breath again now....

7:47 pm

Maybe you need a mask Jacula

7:47 pm

any clues for the last se5/12 and se6/21?

7:48 pm

Angb - I have medical masks but can't wear 'em because they make me steam my specs up! LOL.

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

wtg snowy

7:48 pm

Mooch - add do re me fa so *** on the end

7:49 pm

Well done, snowy! *~*~*~*~*~

7:49 pm

LOrd Anbove - I'm typing gibberish! time to get to bed I thing. Having replacement panes for some of my double glazing tomorrow morning.

7:50 pm

angb - that sounded bad! I meant me having to breathe whilst wearing a medical mask steams my specs up.

7:50 pm

I have that prob too Jacula. With the mask I mean - I knew what you were saying as I wear specs too

7:50 pm

snowy - It's predicted to be a mild day in UK tomorrow so you hould be okay whilst some of your windows are out.

7:50 pm

Goodnight all - I'm going before my spelling deteriorates even more! LOL

7:50 pm

Nite snowyowl

7:50 pm

fe7,40 anyone? Night, snowy.

7:51 pm

Ang - How does a surgeon or anaesthetist who wears specs cope in the operating theatre, I wonder?

7:51 pm

Another word for no charge Ankh

7:51 pm

fe7/40-at no cost?

7:51 pm

Angb, add that on to the end of what? I'm confused.

7:52 pm

That's a good point Jacula - I have no idea

7:52 pm

Moooch the letters that you have - se

7:52 pm

Legal person's charge (fe*) + opposite of more.

7:54 pm

OK - I'll try again se 5/12 is se + *** de dah

7:54 pm

And the 6 is the plural

7:55 pm

Last op I had, Ang (well, the first, really, not including giving birth stuff), the anaethstetist (no, that is one word I cannot spell!) wore bottle bottom glasses. I remember feeling sh*t scared when he gently stuck the needle in the back of my hand.... I was meaning to worry about, how will he see the monitors whilst I'm out? and all that sort of thing. Unfortunately, he knocked me out. However, I seem to have lived to tell the tale.

7:56 pm

thanx Angb, finally a lightbulb went on!

7:57 pm

I am gonna cry I am on the h's that is so many and I have to find 11 of them...probably all obscure nothing made up babble words *sniff sniff*

7:57 pm

7:58 pm

Mostly they are normal words wurdy

7:58 pm

dont feel too bad...i have 14 l's left to find

7:59 pm

all told, i still need 80 words

8:00 pm

I am down to 30...broke out the list at 70

8:00 pm

You'll get there graely -

8:01 pm

Jacula - condensation comes about thru two different temperatures. Maybe it's quite warm in op theatres and so glasses don't steam up

8:03 pm

just found three of the la's boy do I feel silly...what a cowboy does

8:05 pm

any clues for the two le5/14's?

8:05 pm

sorry mooch I don't have those yet

8:05 pm

Something you keep your accounts in but drop a middle consonant. for the first one mooch

8:06 pm

And change the last letter for the second. What it really means I have no idea.

8:07 pm

thanx!!!

8:07 pm

yw - it actually means accounts book! Someone just can't spell.

8:07 pm

yes, thanks

8:11 pm

Ang - just came back from nattering to daughter & the other germ-ridden one again. I hope you're right about temps & operating theatres.

8:11 pm

So do I - plenty of vitamin C though Jacula to fight off those bugs I think is the order of the day. Sees me right (usually).

8:12 pm

I am lurking here - waiting for the grid to change. Sad. I have plenty of things I should be doing.

8:13 pm

As a smoker, Ang B, I make a point of taking slow-release Vit C tabs + lots of fruit.

8:13 pm

am done with the l's yipee!

8:13 pm

Ang - It's abvout 4 hours yet, before the grid changes.

8:13 pm

Me too - the cigs and the wine knock it out of me.

8:13 pm

re 5/12 and re 5/16?

8:14 pm

I know its 4 hours - that's why it's so sad LOL

8:14 pm

Ang - at leadt you get lots of sunshine,too, if you're in Aus!

8:14 pm

re 5/12 - completes something again without an e

8:15 pm

NZ Jacula. Can't tell the different on the flags on the site. But it is only spring here - but we do have sunshine today.

8:15 pm

Oh no, you're not in Oz! Even better! You're in NZ. A place I intend to visit before I die. That and Taz.

8:15 pm

The re 5/16 is like the 6/27. but drop one of the double vowels

8:15 pm

You're in Auckland - as is a friend from another internet site.

8:16 pm

ty anqb got them

8:17 pm

'They' say NZ and Taz are like UK was 30 years ago, plus being nice and green (as in foliage, grass etc). I think that sounds lovely!

8:17 pm

Better watch a comment like that as there are a number of Aussies on this site ... although I would agree with you LOL. Yep, Auckland - which other site do you go on?

8:17 pm

I was born in the UK - Somerset. My family came out here 40 years ago.

8:17 pm

Ang - Friends Reunited.

8:18 pm

Ang - I remember a huge drive to get people from UK to move to Australsia 40 years ago.

8:19 pm

any clues for bottom left r. both are r/4. have one meaning to go up

8:19 pm

When my family were thinking of immigrating the choices were Durban, Adelaide or Auckland.

8:19 pm

I remember a girl from my class in top year of juniior school (Jacky Golby) and her family moving to Oz at that time. We were 10 at the time.

8:19 pm

zTink - to get up

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

Sorry - didn't read it - add the first two letters of the famous model who designs bras.

8:21 pm

bichon - sins of the fl***! Plural it! Think skin!

8:21 pm

ztink - either a form a currency or a Canadian/Metis hero

8:21 pm

great Jacula

8:22 pm

Jacula - specs, cigs, and about the same age ... do you drink wine as well?

8:22 pm

As an artist, you might fl5/18 out a model, especially if you are Rubens, or you have taken note of the recent guidelines that models on the catwalk should no longer stive to be size 0!

You still watching the chat Bloodaxe?

8:22 pm

Ang - you know I do! Aussie chardonnay, what else?

8:23 pm

I have two left and can't figure out either one. un6/30 and so6/21

8:23 pm

8:24 pm

All I can say Ang, is that I'm glad I'm not Mum to a 6 & 8 yr-old. I'm far too old for that, but not far too old for a toyboy (which I have). *grins* My two are 19 & 22 and the 'step' will be 12 in December.

8:25 pm

Yep, but they are getting better. Just had lunch and had to fix the loaf of bread which the 8 year old cut with a dinner knife LOL. But their father is my toy boy - but only by 6 years.

8:26 pm

The so 6/21. Take the 5/21 which is on the bottom of your shoes and add a vowel before the last letter

8:27 pm

Beaten you |AngB! My toyboy is 12 yrs' younger! LOL.

8:28 pm

Better go - toy boy home from work. Bit early so it won't have gone well. Good luck all.

8:28 pm

Ang - that's the trouble with toyboys, they can be truculent. As Babble has seen with me and mine, over time...

8:28 pm

ooh! a knitter! I learned something new today! A couple weeks ago I saw a woman knitting and when she did "knit" her needle was on the other side of the stitching... so today i tried it, and it makes a much thinner and less "cabled" sort of knit. *proud look* :-)

9:46 pm

my hubby has resorted to helping me (when he wants me to stop playing) tonight he's at a meeting but anyway...he turns out to be a pretty good player!

9:46 pm

hi. taking a break from story writing. my characters are not cooperating this evening.

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

YAY pbr!

9:49 pm

9:54 pm

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

9:54 pm

no money Natasha, I spent it all on Babble Tshirts and chocolate...

9:54 pm

how about a chocolate babble t shirt, the best of both worlds

9:54 pm

9:55 pm

yes..it was a grave injustice that little ichy was not allowed to represent her country at the olympics

9:55 pm

just slobber some melted choco on your babble shirt

9:55 pm

I agree, chj! :-) too bad you weren't a lawyer in those days...

9:55 pm

lbdawger, the 2nd vowel is e, but there is no e in the word I don't think. What am I missing with this word?

9:56 pm

*dreaming of chocolate yarn and chocolate nubs for buttons...*

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

Finally!I got it.I thought it didn't have an e!I'm sorry for the stupidity and thank you all for your patience!

9:57 pm
