hi nan

12:06 am

Hi Nan :)

12:06 am

chic- no, i haven't learned the magic of putting your own pictures into the computer yet - this is the icon i used for the high school yearbook theme day - everyone used to call me "posieden" cause they all thought we looked exactly alike - (they tried carol, but i would never answer to that - you know how you get trained to only respond to your name?

12:06 am

Hi nan - I expect it won't take YOU long!

12:07 am

well - at the beginning of the year he was great - was hurt most of hte season - but he's going to be a hall of famer - one of the best pitchers of al time - so - he might have risen to the occasion - but he's really been hurt ....

12:08 am

OMG I have a word that I want to use as my icon but I would surly be booted out of babble forever if I did LOL

12:08 am

12:44 am

Something bad, Sprite?

A very dear friend of mine died Wednesday. It went very fast and we were all with her when she died.

so sorry, sprite

12:44 am

12:44 am

you have my sympathies

12:44 am

Oh dear, how terrible!

12:45 am

sorry to hear that sprite

12:45 am

very sorry to hear that sprite, but I'm sure it helped to have you there

12:45 am

Sorry, Sprite, glad you could be there, for her and for you.

12:45 am

Thanks. Yesterday I just felt empty, now there is the pain of realising how much we will miss her.

12:45 am

so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear friend, sprite (((((sprite)))))

12:45 am

so sorry sprite - i'm glad she had loved ones around her

12:46 am

I know the feeling {{{{{{hug}}}}}}

12:46 am

12:46 am

im very sorry sprite, and what a gift that you were with her

12:48 am

vade

12:48 am

veat

12:48 am

It was a gift, really. There were 12 friends around her bed when she died and in a way we carried her as far as we could. Her biggest fear was being alone - at least we have been able to make sure she wasn't alone at all.

12:49 am

Whoops, artdr, wrong box.

12:49 am

only half way and I'm starting to repeat myself -- maybe I'll be able think better in the morning! Good night:)

12:49 am

1:54 am

re8/40 and re9/54, start with re6/18 (fork prongs again) add first two letters of bird home and then plural for the 9

1:54 am

Change the last letter of an re 6-letter part of the eye and add the first 3 letters of a bird's home.

1:55 am

1:55 am

1:56 am

2:31 am

oh yeah taz, if she's into the water, it's a good place to be.

i wonder if she studied in Guam, there's a world famous research facility in Guam for marine biologists.

2:33 am

i guess world famous among marine biologists though.

2:33 am

you get points for throwing him, it's a snowy looking game, the character actually uses a bat to hit him

2:39 am

2:39 am

there is only one pe6/27 right?

2:40 am

i do not know lol

2:40 am

yes Fran

Cat, probably from the expression "Hoisted on your own petard." It sounds like a sword or something, but only means to be hurt by the plan you had for someone else.

2:41 am

Thank you Queen LOL Thats what made me think it was a sword :)

OH, I'm soo sorry. I wasn't thinking.

2:41 am

it definately sounds painful. :-[}

2:41 am

THats ok Queen, we all here have it already I think :)

LOL

Nope, gave him burritos for his lunch yesterday & Chili the night before. Dumb, dumb, dumb!

2:53 am

2:53 am

Oh dear - recipe for disaster

2:53 am

LOL, NEVER give them chili!

2:54 am

Can anyone clue me on any of the nine letter words?

Thanks Cat, I hadn't seen the sex organ. Duh!

2:56 am

2:56 am

2:56 am

Does anyone have any of the nine letter words?

2:56 am

Have you looked at the definition for le5.10 - its incredibly complicated!

2:56 am

3:04 am

i'm from NZ and have no idea what a Hawaian bird is

3:05 am

Used to be able. to do that. Can't sleep on planes since I got older

3:05 am

No, thank goodness! They belong to a local farmer - blood samples had to be taken to prove they don't have Aujesky's disease.

3:05 am

haz, your profile says cl5/16, but there is no C in the grid

3:05 am

I'll change it - should be gl.

3:05 am

3:08 am

LOL JFB

3:08 am

of course i thought i had them already!

3:09 am

the ne4/4 is a kind of goose and it is hawaiian.

3:10 am

That's what happens when there's a big word count grid. You see the words and think you have entered them.

3:10 am

Oh my Fran, I called it a bird, should have said goose, no wonder people couldn't get it, I'm tired LOL

3:11 am

lol cat, a goose is a bird! :-)

3:11 am

3:16 am

An ornithologists grid today!

3:17 am

Thanks again Cat

3:17 am

Now I just need the 8 letter it, ne and ni

3:17 am

you're welcome, what were the others you needed mkl?

3:18 am

You would think a word like that would mean somethin impressive -

3:18 am

the ni8 is Fertilizer consisting of sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate.

3:18 am

ni8/40 - minerals?

3:18 am

thanks fmitch, i had the extension of the sn5 (sn6-sharp shooter), but not the 5

3:19 am

And if he can't get it from Cat's clue.....

3:19 am

It's late. Minds foggy. A little more clue Haz?

3:19 am

Look at Cat's clue. The last word.

3:19 am

Oh my, I'm sorry!

3:19 am

mkl, it's in cat's clue! lol

3:19 am

you're welcome Fran

3:23 am

I have the it 8 - wow.

3:23 am

Hot dog. Now just the it,8 left.

3:23 am

it8/40, you reit***** something when you say it again, add an S for the 8

MKL, the it8, think of a word for when you re say something, then drop the re. Like, you reit***** your point of view. Then pluralize it.

3:24 am

It means to repeat.

Fran, great minds!

3:24 am

Never mind. Figured it out. Gave me three words. Thanks again

3:40 am

3:41 am

the clue i just gave taz is for the pe8/45

3:41 am

I need pe 8/55 -- any hints?

3:41 am

taz, take out the Y and add an e on the end (of the 7) then plural.

3:42 am

ty

3:42 am

pe is seabirds alt spelling

3:42 am

how does one learn all the codes you people give out??

3:42 am

arb, add a Y after pe and take the e off the end (of the 7) then plural

3:42 am

well we go to a secret school in secret spot

3:42 am

colhad, go to angelsong's resource page in friends of babble links.

3:43 am

joking

3:43 am

TY Fran -- figured it out from the clue you gave to Taz on going the other way!

3:43 am

i thought you might arb!!

3:43 am

like 5.14 means five letters in the word and 14 points

3:43 am

Colhad, it's just a matter of time and reading the clues.

3:44 am

Col- pe8/55 = 1st 2 letters of the word, 8 letterin the word and total tile value 55.

3:44 am

this is only colhad's second grid everybody! you're doing great colhad!

3:45 am

colhad is doing great

3:45 am

col i still dopnt know what i am doing most of the time

3:46 am

thankyou folks

3:46 am

good evening everyone

3:46 am

Your doing great colhad, if you mean the way we write clues, we just make them up, using **** for letters that will be in the word you need. We just clue it for you, so you can get the word on your own. Like if it was carbon, we would clue it as ca**** copy. We give the first 2 letters only, then clue the rest.

3:47 am

hi lynxxx!

3:47 am

hiya lynxx

3:47 am

Good evening lynxxx!

3:47 am

3:48 am

Hi Pappou

3:48 am

hello penny

3:49 am

it has great words though penny, there is a pe6/24 that we're quite fond of.

3:49 am

since I've just started, I'm on the top D. I found 2 4/5s and 2 5/12. What would the other one be?

3:49 am

yes, we love that word :)

3:49 am

LOL, I just saw that

3:50 am

pe6/24 means that the word is 6 letters and worth 24 points??

3:50 am

3:50 am

hi colhad, yes

3:50 am

3:51 am

second de5/12 (thick)

5:43 am

Guess we need to go chocolate shopping hodag!

5:44 am

For sure Cat9x.

5:44 am

I love tart dill pickles!! Dipped in frosting, might be good, do you ever eat it now ch1212? I never had strange cravings when I was pregnant.

5:45 am

Oh no, in fact the thought of it makes me kind of nausous :D

5:45 am

Reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode when she was pregnant, and ate a milkshake with sardines in it:::shivers:::: LOL

5:45 am

Isn't that funny what our bodies can do when we are pregnant :)

5:45 am

Oh GROSS!

6:16 am

TY Kateq

6:17 am

TY Kateq. How is everyone going? I've been doing this off and on for a few hours and not even half way yet.

6:17 am

de7 - the thickness or volume of something.

6:19 am

My last word si 6/18 -- not the baby si*

6:20 am

si6 - change the last letter of the one you have.

6:21 am

Its like that romantic city Vi****

6:22 am

TY diane. Fireworks

6:23 am

YW - glad you got the bright lights.

6:23 am

Congrats ARB

6:23 am

good morning all - how is this grid?

6:23 am

congrats, ARB!

6:24 am

Long, Wolvie. Just finished after more than 3 hours.

6:24 am

Hi Wolvie - slowing right down near halfway for me - but not using list yet.

6:24 am

whoa. well, after a few short days, I guess we were due. :-) Must update my icon...

6:35 am

here we go...

6:37 am

Bye Wolvie - think I'll save the rest of this til the morning (and with Lickeys help!) - good luck

6:39 am

bye lynx

6:39 am

mornin/afternoon folks..

6:39 am

morning philod

6:48 am

I have 2 abominable y words...any help on the 3rd one?

6:50 am

sorry chiley - haven't got the other one yet

6:50 am

probably some weird yp or yt word

6:51 am

Afternoon all. 3rd ye word is la5/10, not ye**.

6:52 am

hi jac - la as in not on time?

6:52 am

Wolvie. Yes.

6:53 am

ok - thanks!

6:53 am

y/w.

6:53 am

is it a 5?

6:54 am

that is one odd ball - at least to me

6:54 am

no chiley - a 4

6:54 am

double consonant

6:54 am

chiley - no. It's ye4/6.

6:55 am

ahh..thanks

6:55 am

It's a Scottish word for ga4/6 (entrance).

6:56 am

ahh - thanks, jac

6:56 am

ooh - my middle name is in the grid - going to change my icon...

6:59 am

I remember that now from a previous grid

6:59 am

there!

7:00 am

I hadn't looked at the g's yet jac - so thanks again!

7:03 am

hey - galette is so a word - hmmph.

7:03 am

oops

7:04 am

should have used some stars in the middle there - sorry

7:05 am

Never mind, Wolvie. I'm cluing a ga6/24.

7:05 am

*clueing

7:05 am

saw that, jac - good clue

7:06 am

still, if that word I typed is in Webster, which it is, it should be good for this grid - bummer

7:07 am

Wolvie - it won't accept 'pitter' or 'pitta' either.

7:08 am

Hello all - I was surprised at non-acceptance of pitter as well.

7:08 am

Hi Haz.

7:08 am

Lovely icon, Haz.

7:08 am

Hello Jacula - that's a greedy bird you've got there!

7:09 am

hi haz

7:09 am

Indeed it is, Haz! Did you finish yesterday in the end?

7:09 am

yeah - I know on the pi's - odd

7:09 am

Thanks Jacula - just up the road from me, well a few miles anyway.

7:10 am

I did indeed, Jacula. It was much easier once I succumbed to the list!

7:13 am

funny thing, it takes the coffee stuff, but not the ta**. LOL

7:13 am

Haz - When I was researching my family tree (not finished yet!) and was following up my maiden name (which is unusual), I discovered that a whole lot of relatives live in Douglas Bridge, which apparently is a small town in Strabane, Co. Tyrone. Do you know that place?

7:14 am

No, I don't - I would know County Antrim and Down best of all the counties. I'll have a little nose round and see what I can find out about it.

7:15 am

good morning, all

7:15 am

Thanks Haz. Any personal stuff you find, can you message me through BabAnon please?

7:15 am

hi pida

7:15 am

Morning pida.

7:16 am

Wolvie - coffee stuff?

7:17 am

you know - la*** and plural -

7:17 am

Thanks, Wolvie. I hadn't spotted those.:)

7:18 am

oh good - I owe you a few clues!

7:19 am

Jacula - it's not a big place (81 people in 2001) but it is featured in Wilkapaedia!

7:19 am

It won't take pitter - never heard of the pitter patter of little feet?

7:19 am

hi catsmm

7:20 am

I've just got 2 more words following that trail, Wolvie. An archaic language (+ plural) with a double consonant in the middle.

7:20 am

Hi Wolvie

7:20 am

Jacula - do you have an idea when your relatives would have been living there?

7:21 am

Haz - I know. That's why I was so surprised to find such a large concentration of family there. I knew about the ones in Douglas Isle of Man but the Irish contingent were a surprise. I was researching up to date infodisk stuff about 3 years ago, Haz.

7:22 am

Sorry, that should have been up to da4/5 infodisk stuff. LOL.

7:23 am

(Just checked to see that I had the da4/5!)

7:23 am

catsmm - Yes, we were just discussing the absence of pitter.

7:23 am

LOL, Haz. Had you?

7:24 am

I did - and the added on bits!

7:24 am

*Jacq scuttles off to look for more than one added on bit.*

7:24 am

Just got here...

7:25 am

Love your icon, Haz. Visited Ireland several years ago and loved it there.

7:25 am

catsmm - Yes. I was just agreeing with you.

7:26 am

Thank you! We probably don't appreciate just how pretty it is.

7:26 am

My phantom today is 'yesterday'.

7:26 am

Now there's a cue for a song....

7:27 am

You sing this time, Haz.:D

7:27 am

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away... and you all know the rest.

7:28 am

LOL. 'Yesterday, all the grid words were well hid away....'

7:28 am

'Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong, now I long for yesterda a a a y.'

7:29 am

Beautiful, Haz! What a songbird you are.:)

7:29 am

My phantom is "dagger"

7:29 am

No training, just raw talent.

7:30 am

catsmm - there is a pointy da4. (Pub game 'weapon'.)

7:31 am

So, Haz... will we be watching the next X Factor to see you?

7:31 am

Aha! Thanks.

7:31 am

I'd sooner cut my own throat!

7:32 am

Catsmm - also, you can add a French masculine 'the' to the end and plural it, too. It means 'to scuttle about'.

7:33 am

Haz - know what you mean!

7:33 am

That must be a British word - it sounds British, somehow. :)

7:33 am

thanks for those clues, jac!

7:34 am

y/w.

7:40 am

on the ag's - i have the micro base, the rock & plural, the cactus, the oil and it's plural - what am I missing?

7:42 am

got one more - means metal or tag sheath..

7:43 am

brb - 'phone.

7:43 am

finished my re's, time to take a coffee break and read the chat log for odd clues

7:48 am

Time for the daily exercise - be back later.

7:48 am

bye cat

7:48 am

Going to have to go for now. 113 to go. BBL. Happy Babbling.

Hi all -reporting from the plague pit that is my home. Had littlies overnight Tues -one twin had stomach bug (sick twelve times in 6 hrs), had littlies last night - other twin had bug + husband, who has true to form tken to his bed!. Guess whos' had les than12 hours sleep in 3 days?!-am thinking of placing a large band aid over my front door!

9:02 am

snowy..hope the bug has left your house by now never to return

Snowy, sounds like you need a Babble break! How old are the twins?

9:03 am

Ty! The twins will be 7 in January & i definately need the babble break! Have had to have 2 quilts cleaned & spent 1/2 hr ;last night salvaging my landing carpet!

9:04 am

oh snowy...so sorry!

Yuck, I feel for you.

9:05 am

Well it could have been worse ( but not much). The children were gret but husband has done the man thing & complains of feeling 'weak'!

9:07 am

Have you ever noticed how, when men are around someone who barfs, barfs back. I think all men have weak stomachs

9:08 am

and it keeps them from having to help clean up

9:08 am

Abe, are there more that 1 ag5/14? The one I have is a marble.

9:09 am

LOL! pida -he's had measles , mupmps, chicken pox (not!) He always says- ooh I feel like that too. So my standard reply is I've got morning sickness - now have that!

9:12 am

I got your clue and found one more ag5/14...a yellow pungent volatile oil

9:12 am

ooh, thanks Chiley!

9:13 am

9:14 am

That's de5/12 then is it, snowy? *grins & ducks*

9:14 am

10:05 am

10:05 am

wurdygurl is correct, and raelite has hit the nail right on his hunky head.

10:05 am

(personally i am more of a zack girl, but whatever)

10:05 am

he's a tough jock with a soft spot for his special lady, Jesse... awwww

10:05 am

lol rae

10:06 am

Can someone point me in teh direction of the an 9/66?

10:06 am

and he hosted "pet stars"...

10:06 am

Iwow, we are the slater trivia girls

10:06 am

his career is not going to tremendously

10:06 am

bunny: a place where you might find a corner of a triangle

10:06 am

an9 = geometry term + Belfast dog

10:07 am

come on b&b is great...kinda

10:07 am

are you kidding? he's totally ripped and completely naked on nip/tuck this year!!

10:07 am

ah, um, well, i didn't know about nip/tuck

10:07 am

Belfast dog??

10:08 am

what is a belfast dog? an irish se6/18?

10:08 am

I didn't know about nip tuck either

10:08 am

oh...the shower scene with Julian McMahon...

10:08 am

okay, any city in that country :)

10:08 am

there was water...and soap....and bubbles...and....

10:08 am

he was in the shower scene with Julian??????? what would Pheobe say?

10:08 am

I was trying not to give it completely away

10:08 am

ok, ok, this is a family site

10:09 am

woah that was out of left field....

10:09 am

as in Irish Se6/18? that's too many letters

10:09 am

yeah i am confused

10:09 am

updated icon

10:09 am

but i know what wurdy means - charmed reference, right?

10:09 am

omg, inge, sorry -- I'm mixing up my clues ... as if I'm not already mixed up enough.... tack the ending si4/4 onto that geometry term.

10:09 am

I thought you were saying that Mario was in the shower with Julian

10:09 am

anyhow hursh, it was tasty-licious.

10:10 am

right!

10:10 am

mario and julian were in the shower together on julian's show, nip/tuck

10:10 am

Ah . .ok

10:11 am

it doesn't work :(

hi everyone! : )

10:11 am

hi to

10:11 am

the geometry term is an5/14?

10:11 am

hiya TO

10:11 am

yes, inge :)

10:11 am

oh oh, silly me

10:11 am

yes, inge

10:11 am

got it now

10:11 am

add the geomertry term with a "place"

10:11 am

was using two geometry terms (one si4/4/ is a geometry term too)

10:12 am

i was trying to put 2 math words together, lol

10:12 am

snap inge2!!!

10:12 am

yeah...math makes me crazy too :(

10:12 am

i like math

10:12 am

hah, hurshy!

10:12 am

I'm glad someone does

10:13 am

and thanks ch and raelite

10:13 am

I guess you have to like math to figure out how many dilithium crystals you need to fly from here to the delta quadrant

10:13 am

:)

10:14 am

of course that totally depends

10:14 am

totally.

10:14 am

:|

10:14 am

you're very kind, inge ... but for the benefit of all, I'll leave clueing to other, higher, better minds ...:D

10:14 am

how big is the ship? how efficient is the engine? do we have the ability to recharge them? are we running into any wormholes? etc.

10:15 am

(that is torgone refraining from being an imp)

10:15 am

(and i am making it harder for him)

10:15 am

:+

10:15 am

do you need to factor in how many boards you'll be sending as well?

10:15 am

let's torture him together, shall we?

10:16 am

you know, when the guy on the planet says "beam me a board"?

10:16 am

lol

10:16 am

presumably to build some kind of shelter and/or flag pole

10:16 am

8|

10:16 am

but no, i do not wish to torture torgone. unlike some governments i could name, i do not believe in fighting fire with fire.

10:17 am

lol

10:18 am

ick, i hate the smell of ramen in the morning

10:18 am

or, you know, any other time.

10:18 am

I don't like it period...

10:18 am

yes, it is a most revolting substance

10:19 am

oh speaking of inedible substances, has anyone ever witnessed anything more memorable than jon stewart offering pervez musharraf a twinkie?

10:20 am

i suppose if you saw kennedy get shot... but as historical moments go, this one is definitely up there.

10:20 am

I don't watch jon stewart...mostyl on principle

10:21 am

I've never understood WHY anyone WOULD watch him

10:21 am

and what principle would that be? the principle of "early to bed, early to rise"? the principle of not watching american television? there are many possibilities here

10:21 am

is the an 9 a compound word beginning with an 5/14?

10:21 am

yup, cnan

10:22 am

well it's more like it has a suffix but that suffix is a word

10:22 am

I think that his "smart" brand of comedy just perpetuates repetition ... satirizing politics isn't anything noteworthy or new

10:22 am

thanks, hurshy

10:23 am

but why does it have to be new? and how can it be, if as solomon says "there is nothing new under the sun"?

douglas?

10:23 am

Bill Maher wasn't intolerable but I've never been able to watch Stewart and not cringe

10:23 am

how many words today

10:24 am

what about stewart makes you cringe?

10:24 am

it doesn't...he's popular and has his funny moments...I just think we should be watching comedy that is more intelligent then just making up stuff

dougls from morocco.......

10:24 am

$3.05

10:24 am

Think its too late in teh day for me to start this :( 305!

10:24 am

have you ever seen Sash Baron Cohen? aka Borat?

10:24 am

yes, i love ali g, borat, and bruno, all three

10:24 am

but i find stewart very funny too.

CJ, it isn't to bad, not to many off the wall words, all variations of...

10:25 am

305 and I only have 55. I could not possibly finish this today.

10:25 am

that's funny....Jon Stewart is just a guy with a funny voice...but that's just what I think...I'm glad he has fans like you sticking up for him

10:25 am

hear hear luckemamala

10:25 am

my stomach seriously HURT from laughing after ali g's science panel, and also after the buzz aldrin interview!

10:26 am

can't wait to see the borat movie...

10:26 am

the buzz aldrin was soooo funny

I'm gonna try out Sudoku unless I can help with a clue?

10:26 am

the moon does exist!

10:26 am

I'll give it the old college try

10:26 am

could I have a clue for the an 6/24, please? (following the 9 -- have the first one)

10:26 am

bunny - can I have clues for 299 words please :D

10:26 am

did you see hwen he interviewed donal trump?

10:26 am

ooh thanks cnan, lemme look

an 6/24 - an + a word for a dark brew without the r

10:27 am

even better was andy rooney

10:27 am

yes - the donald didn't have much use for him, did he

10:27 am

was that the second season? i haven't seen that yet.

CJ, that's take me abit ;)

10:27 am

not using the list today, hurshy? ---I decided I didn't have that much time!

10:28 am

oh man....andy rooney practically beats alig with his type writer

10:28 am

Its olay you only need to help me with 295 now

10:28 am

well, i haven't decided yet cnan. 58 to go though.

10:28 am

lol, i loved when he was touring the UN and didn't think it was fair for michael jordan to be equal to a whole country

I broke down with 32 left and whipped out the list.

10:29 am

not a beer drinker, bunny, but thanks.

10:29 am

oh jeez... Ali G? peeeyuke!

10:29 am

good for you -- I still have 128 left.

10:29 am

I must be from an entirely different generation

10:30 am

well who do you find funny, metal?

3rd an 6/24 - an + tall letter + how old you are

10:30 am

George Carlin

10:30 am

metaleather - certainly there are moments when he can be offensive, but in between, you almost die laughing, so it's worth it...

10:30 am

got it bunny, thank you

10:30 am

oh yeah...the 6 words you can't say on tv

10:30 am

Ron White

10:30 am

Kelly Monteith

...and I meant 2nd an 6/24

10:30 am

Bill Engvall

10:30 am

Oh I agree metal -- I like his sense of humour also

10:30 am

Abbott and Costello

See ya'll Sunday.

10:31 am

2000 year old man?

10:31 am

let's see... heard of george carlin and abbott and costello...

10:31 am

Who's on First makes me laugh out loud every time

10:31 am

I have Carlin's comments on ageing framed and hanging in the powder room.

10:31 am

Victor Borge.... Phonetic punctuation

10:32 am

oh I love that gag too

10:32 am

yes, victor borge, i find that funny also

10:32 am

right Im too tired for it so stopping :) ttfn!

10:32 am

I've loved that bit since I was a kid

10:32 am

Bill Cosby's stand up is great too

10:32 am

see ya later , bunny

10:32 am

his older stuff was best, but some of the more current is ok too

10:32 am

robin williams - gosh i can't wait to see "man of the year"

10:32 am

I liked Flip Wilson

10:33 am

later CJ

10:33 am

oh yes, definitely Robin Williams

10:33 am

bye CJ

10:34 am

oh noooo it's only 8:30....

10:34 am

i just think what jon stewart is doing is so... i mean, look at the irony - the day after he interviews musharraf, katie couric has a story about him doing it, they're doing stories on it on cable news shows... he's the one getting the real interviews and all they can do is cover him!

10:35 am

you know that new movie with Robin Williams, hurshy? Watch out? ;-)

10:35 am

here's one that will really date me.... Red Skelton doing the "girdle" routine

10:36 am

metal - I adored Red Skelton - watched him all the time

10:36 am

he really does interview people much more nicely than anyone else. he is respectful and actual exchanges of ideas can take place.

10:36 am

why do i need to watch out?

10:36 am

I like Jon Stewart - no problems for me. :-)

10:36 am

Jon's show - and everyone else's - is all scripted with pre=approved questions

10:37 am

the comedian, based a lot on JS, gets elected...not a bad thing in some respects

10:37 am

remember Clem Kadiddlehopper, and the two seagulls, and Freddie?

10:37 am

sorry to sound like a conspiracy theorist

10:37 am

of course, rae - but nobody else has people on with whom they disagree and talks to them that way

10:37 am

oh yes - and his "good nite and God bless" - he was the best

10:37 am

it's cool though, we need variety

10:38 am

he actually wants the people with whom he disagrees to be able to present their best argument

10:38 am

and how great was it that he got crossfire canned? :)

10:39 am

Maybe I'll have to try JS again... perhaps the times I saw him before and which set my teeth on edge were flukes

10:39 am

i agree that for sheer hilariousness, ali g is funnier, but jon stewart has more purpose, so i like them both.

10:39 am

the crossfire thing must have been planned...there is no way that happened naturally

10:40 am

NOW you sound like a conspiracy theorist.

10:41 am

metal - what set your teeth on edge? sometimes there is rather infantile semi-offensive humor - i know my mom would not approve... is that it?

10:42 am

lol...

10:42 am

I can deal with borderline or overtly raunchy... I think it was the infantile bits that did it

10:42 am

too much time in a dark room poking voodoo dolls...

10:43 am

i find that most comedians have some bits i don't like, but it can be worth it for the other parts

10:43 am

OMG Hurshy, that is the best icon clue ever (sorry to interrupt comedian convo)

10:43 am

i think it would serve his purpose better to cut out some of the infantile and raunchy stuff - i think it would do my mom good to watch him, and that would totally turn her off.

10:44 am

:) thank you abe :)

10:44 am

I still see the dali painting, hursh

10:44 am

fresh, raelite, it's worth it!

10:44 am

*refresh

10:44 am

if you click rae, you'll see the other

10:45 am

i mean you can refresh to see it consistently but then you gotta wait for everything to reload.

10:45 am

speaking of voodoo dolls...

10:45 am

http://www.virtual-design.com/demos/vo odoodoll/voodoo.asp?section=demo&subse ction=voodoo

10:45 am

refreshing now...

10:45 am

there we go :)

10:46 am

Hurshy, for some reason I'm not getting your icon on your profile page.

10:46 am

hmmm... don't know what i can do about that...

10:47 am

hey i just stopped chatting long enough to find a word!

10:47 am

Hi Charm!

10:48 am

hi charm

10:48 am

hi charm

10:48 am

Hi abe, rae - been a while since I've been here

10:48 am

just found the dr 7 --- does anyone besides me remember that one on TV?

10:48 am

Hi Wolvie!

10:48 am

ooh there's a dr7?

10:48 am

definitely

10:49 am

yes hurshy -- think Jack Webb

10:49 am

I even remember the name of one of the minor characters

10:49 am

ooh, thanks for the clue Cybernan

10:49 am

and the plot of a couple of episodes

10:49 am

just the facts ma'am

10:49 am

uh oh, my too youngness is hurting me

10:49 am

I do cyber - looonnnnggg ago. :-)

10:49 am

i do try to watch older things but i haven't seen them all...

10:50 am

hurshy- did you ever watch Square one television (a math show)?

10:50 am

there's an article about the dr 7 in the NY times about them doing a dr7 about those envolopes that had the anthrax in them several years ago

10:50 am

did i ever watch square one?!!?!! you did too?!!?!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

10:50 am

they spoofed dr 7

10:51 am

I'd forgotten that line charm -- lol

10:51 am

I did! I loved it!

10:51 am

oh, of course, i know dr7, i just ddin't see it cause it was all twisty

10:51 am

I remember how they used to portray the pot smokers... it was almost like watching Reefer Madness

10:51 am

I was very young (sorry) when it was on, but I do remember the opening....

10:51 am

here comes dirk niblick of the math brigade, he'll look you right in the eye...

10:51 am

I am missing (amongst other things) an ea 5/10 - I have the food one - what am I missing??

10:52 am

i occassionally get the isoceles triangle song in my head...

10:52 am

2 food ones wolvie

10:52 am

Don't apologize for youth, Charm -- it's just that some of us wish we still had it!!!

10:52 am

if we are talking dr 7, I was very young as well. :-)

10:52 am

there are 2 food ones.

10:52 am

it soars and is your country's national symbol

10:52 am

abe, i get ALL the songs in my head! i keep them there intentionally :)

10:52 am

go backwards, then go forwards, if the number's still the same then it's a... palindrome

10:53 am

oh duh - I had the other bird ones of that. Jeez

10:53 am

Hurshy- I would love to get the episodes on DVD. they really helped me in math!

10:53 am

nope, had the bird too - there is another

10:53 am

i KNOW, i totally wish you could buy the whole series.

10:53 am

they do sell some of the mathnets but i think that's it.

10:53 am

the bird is a 5/14...

10:54 am

2 food ones, wolvie.

10:54 am

also 6/24

10:54 am

Wolvie = the one who dines and past tense.

10:54 am

why did i not have the foresight to tape them! nine, nine, nine, that crazy number nine...

10:54 am

I need an ea 5/10 that is not one who ea** - rae, I have all the bird ones, thanks

10:54 am

ahhhh - thanks charm - man - I am so blind sometimes. :-)

10:55 am

yw

10:55 am

Wow. big grid. Will start it up but no intention of finishing. It is lovely weather today -- not too hot, and dry. I have a lot to do and won't get to it all if I drink solid coffee all day!

10:55 am

mathman, your mission is to eat all the multiples of 7. when you encounter a number, you will have 3 seconds to make your decision, but beware the insatiable mr. glitch, he will eat YOU if you are wrong

10:55 am

fractions- ff-f-ff--f-f-f fractions

10:55 am

hi stif

10:55 am

stid...

10:56 am

an5 dance, an5 dance, come and join me hooooon

10:56 am

hi stid

10:56 am

hi rae! Is it still lovely weather for you also?

10:56 am

but who's counting? "once you place a digit on your board - YOU CAN'T MOVE IT"

10:56 am

oh yeah

10:56 am

ah hurshy! you bring back so many happy memories!

10:57 am

you saw it too stid??!!?!

10:57 am

didn't they say today was the last day though...I was watching q13 this morning and she said it was going to get chilly

10:57 am

yay!

10:57 am

hello peoples

10:57 am

hello

10:58 am

hi iamb

10:58 am

last year, one of my students was debbie allen's son, so when she came to talk to me about his math, i was like, weren't you once on a show called "square one"?

10:58 am

hello

10:58 am

yes, I think tomorrow is supposed to cloud over and it might even dribble a bit for us this weekend. Not sure about you --

10:58 am

hi blank

10:58 am

and she was like, "oh, yes, a looong time ago..." like she had almost forgotten

10:58 am

i don't suppose that's the usual question people have for debbie allen...

10:59 am

REALLY? Oh my goodness. That is SO cool... I love math shows. Not really great at math compared to other things but it's fun in no-pressure situations.

10:59 am

en 6/21, anyone?

10:59 am

how could you forget being on square one? lol

10:59 am

i have an autographed picture of george frankly and pat tuesday

10:59 am

Debbie Allen has done some really good shows. Math One didn't last nearly long enough, in my opinion. My kids learned so much from things like that.

10:59 am

looking for that myself, nan

11:00 am

there's not much wind, stid, I don't think it will rain here or where you are any time soon

11:00 am

hurshy -- how did you manage that?

11:00 am

Stid- we were lamenting the fact that Square One is not on DVD!

11:00 am

is it just me or is this a hard one today???

11:00 am

why don't you guys write letters to the production company?

11:00 am

If it were on DVD, I would grab it in a heartbeat.

11:00 am

iamb- it is certainly "involved' today

11:01 am

cause they had that one time where there was a problem and if you identified the error you could send in for a prize, which was like a bookcover and a bunch of other square one things, but i wrote this sooooo gushing letter about how much i loved the show and so in addition, i got an autographed picture! i know it wasn't standard cause my sister sent for the prize also and she got everything but the pic.

11:01 am

hi Iam - love your handle - it's interesting today. :-)

11:01 am

hm. strange sound in the background. better see what the dog is into. back soon.

11:01 am

me too

11:01 am

bye stid

11:01 am

bye abe

11:02 am

bye stidmama, abe.

11:02 am

wolvie- i'm stilll here (chained to my desk) i was "me too-ing" the thought of purchasing S.one. DVD

11:02 am

oh! lol - sorry - but - gl** you are here.

11:02 am

do you suppose PBS would make DVDs for 3 people? :)

11:03 am

http://www.squareonetv.org/

11:03 am

for a fee, hurshy. :-)

11:03 am

thanks! i will be here for awhile! wow, thanks Raelite!

11:03 am

oooh wow thanks rae!!!

11:03 am

(common multiple man was my icon on superhero day!)

11:04 am

ga 8 clue?

11:04 am

omg I DO remember this show

11:04 am

abe is your icon clue the last ag5/14 by any chance?

11:04 am

thanks rae. back again. The ONE bag the kid didn't take down to the compost was the one that smelled "really good" (to a dog's nose) *sigh*

11:05 am

the baseball....I remember now...that was a long time ago

11:05 am

hi inge 2

11:05 am

Inge2- yes, according to what i have

11:05 am

wolvie, hi!

11:06 am

look at the less than zero picture! i love that song!

11:06 am

hm...any more clues? I don't think I know that word...

11:06 am

ok i sent an email to them!

11:06 am

11:13 am

aww, thx hurshy :)

11:13 am

Yippee tiyay! Half way ..

11:13 am

lol rae, not my library - it's teeny. :) i know, there's exchange and all. but i need to OWN them.

11:13 am

there are alot of yankee doodles here

11:13 am

Hi stid :)

11:14 am

http://www.sesameworkshop.org/aboutus/ inside_contact.php --> here is where you can send an email to the makers of SQ1 and ask for DVDs

11:14 am

gosh, imagine if i could watch square one every day, over and over

11:14 am

is that different from the link from the squaronetv.org site, rae?

11:14 am

there are people in the message board who have all the episodes on VHS...they are chatting about exchanging them

11:14 am

it's the sesame street web site hursh

11:15 am

right but the squareonetv.org link takes you to a sesame workshop page

11:16 am

then it probably is the same

11:16 am

anyway i sent a requestr

11:16 am

okay, new icon: warning it is a word that doesn't count (but it is in the grid)

11:16 am

wowee wowee wowee i hope they listen

11:17 am

11:17 am

thanks hurshy.

11:17 am

11:18 am

Hi everybody!

11:18 am

cyber - did you get the en 6/21 yet? I've had no luck

11:18 am

hi gramma

11:19 am

*gasp* just actually looked at how many P words there are. *wanders off in a daze*

11:19 am

hi gramma

11:19 am

D or P... hmmm

11:19 am

still looking, wolvie

11:19 am

cybernan, I don't have it either. What a nice grid though!

11:19 am

found it!!!

11:19 am

it's weird

11:19 am

it has to have a 2-pt letter in it somewhere

11:20 am

add homonym of require

11:20 am

thanks, hurshy

11:20 am

that's 250 words for me, hahahahaha

11:20 am

i don't think the count ever actually counted that high though.

11:20 am

ty, hurshy

11:21 am

I'll just be Big Bird and lumber around being nice and helpful... the Count always intimidated me.

11:21 am

oh no, don't thank ME, if people ask for clues, i get words, it is i who thank the clue askers

11:21 am

"pitter" is not a word??

11:21 am

i liked oscar

11:22 am

homonym of require?

11:22 am

i am sure there are lots of pitters in canned peach factories.

11:22 am

firefly, I pitter around the house all the time

11:22 am

and there's the pitter patter of little feet or rain on the roof.

11:22 am

yes hursh, and the "pitter patter" of little feet?

11:22 am

lol

11:22 am

gramma - you probably putter

11:23 am

good grief - what an odd word - thanks for the clue, hurshy

11:23 am

ankh... yes if you require something you .... it

11:23 am

Does anyone have the 5/12 between the thing to come and the pasta?

11:23 am

hi ankh

11:23 am

Oops, meant pe5/12

11:23 am

yeah the whole pitter thing bugged me too!

11:23 am

change last letter of the pasta catsmm?

11:23 am

thanks Hurshy for that en word. I have a huge 64 words already bwah-ha-ha!

11:23 am

*Greets Wolvie & Hurshy & all!*

11:24 am

or, i mean, there are 3... the other two are... umm... ummm...

11:24 am

Have that one Hurshy, aren

11:24 am

Hi Ankh

11:24 am

aren't there some before that?

11:24 am

hurshy - there are some clips on youtube you might find interesting:http://www.youtube.com/wat ch?v=1pIaTalYaAc

11:25 am

hello torgone! {{{good morning}}}

11:25 am

tor - :( school firewall blocks this.

11:25 am

hi tor

11:25 am

hey tor

11:25 am

any hints for ag 6/24 and ag 5/14 the last 2 ag`s

11:25 am

yes catsmm... there are two, one is the plural of the other...

11:25 am

:(

11:25 am

Hurshy, it's like re[require] it? Need & want aren't working for me. *rubs sleepy eyes*

11:25 am

Hi all! :)

11:26 am

majmom, do you have the origin of tequila yet?

11:26 am

a homonym is something that sounds the same but is spelled differently... you have the right idea ankh...

11:26 am

Ankh -- try a word that sound like need, but spelled more in a bready way (without the k)

11:26 am

ag5/14 = a + opening in the fence (g4 today)

11:26 am

not sure

11:26 am

ga 8?

11:26 am

have those 2

11:27 am

that must be torgone's word -- *thinking: origin of tequila* wish I were more educated in likker-words

11:27 am

ag6/24 = a + too much light shining in the eyes (g5 today)

11:27 am

a + past tense of give.

11:27 am

one more a... hmm...

11:27 am

got it! that clue from Charm gave me Tor's and a stone... thanks!

11:28 am

we get stuck on the same ones, cyber. still looking for that one as well

11:28 am

i don't know if i have the origin of tequila or not, i don't recognize all my a words :(

11:28 am

Wolvie, which one?

11:28 am

torgone, why did you make a sad face just now?

11:28 am

ty got the ag 6/24

11:28 am

still back in the g's -- looking for ga 8

11:28 am

<====

11:28 am

The origin of tequila is a succulent plant like an aloe only bigger!

11:29 am

he made a sad face because of my firewall

11:29 am

the ga 8, charm

11:29 am

Stid, I get the bready analogy but I am still not getting the word... the re part not linking to the homonym part.

11:29 am

sorry, Wolvie, not there yet....

11:29 am

rats, i am not plant educated either

11:29 am

ga8 is a combination of strong wind and the hours of darkness

11:29 am

there is no re part, ankh

11:29 am

stid - I was sad hurshy can't watch some Square One TV clips on youtube ..

11:29 am

it's an en word

11:29 am

Torgone, lookin' good there! (hic!)

11:29 am

it's a cactus, hurshy

11:29 am

oh -- firewalls! pooh. bah. humbug. until I get a virus, then I am glad to have them again.

11:30 am

ankh - when you require something, you are in need. sub letters for that and you'll get it

11:30 am

ga8, a girls name + opp of day, alt spelling

11:30 am

thanks for the ga 8 Haz. see you all in a bit, off to lunch

11:30 am

thanks haz. cactus... what do i know about cacti... snoopy has a cousin that sits by one...

11:30 am

Charm, you are my hero today! keep the nice words coming. :-)

11:30 am

11:30 am

11:30 am

Bye abe - enjoy your lunch.

11:31 am

<that's an earlier clue>

11:31 am

THANKS charm - the girls name I had, seeing that it's my middle name. :-)

11:31 am

bye abe

11:31 am

thanks!

11:31 am

Hurshy, Stid, Wolvie -- at last! No leading R, that's what had me so stuck. Thanks!

11:31 am

this cactus word, what is it, length/points wise? i might have it, i just don't know

11:32 am

great clue, haz -- thanks

11:32 am

a + past tense of give. hurshy

11:32 am

Well, hurshy, ag * * * and some people think it's Vile.

11:32 am

<==== ag5/20 - a + donated

11:32 am

haz - I missed your clue for the ga 8 - sorry about that

11:32 am

AH! two math/greek words (found by myself)

11:32 am

ok, then i do have that one.

11:33 am

*giggling uncontrollably* presumably everyone else has that one now too, hurshy!

11:33 am

an 9/66?

11:33 am

it's just with the log moving so fast i couldn't tell which things were clues for the same words :)

11:33 am

an9 = corner of a triangle + s4/4

11:33 am

place for your take, majmom

11:34 am

en6,7 or 8 place?

11:34 am

there's a 7 and 8 tooo!!!!

11:34 am

thanks for the 9 charm

11:34 am

en plus sl***, charm - then add on for the 8 - a past tense

11:34 am

ty got it

11:35 am

thanks Wolvie. the en6 please?

11:35 am

en6 is en + homonym of require

11:35 am

(here we go again) :)

11:35 am

thans, hurshy!

11:35 am

(sorry, got lost in the earlier chat)

11:35 am

the 6 was the require thing going about earlier - when you don't have something you are en**** - last 4 letters like what you do to bread

11:36 am

could use a line on the other 2 9's...

11:36 am

I'm discovering that multi-tasking has its limitations. I can cook and babble, I can cook and iron but I can't cook and babble and iron at the same time. Back later, when the ironing is done....

11:36 am

Poor Haz!

11:36 am

lol

11:37 am

11:38 am

why do i always make a joke instead of saying thanks *bops self on head*

11:38 am

the other 9 is an re: re + fork part + birds ***t

11:38 am

hurshy, in the old days, there really were little elves... my dad was one of them, dodging the wild balls as they came flying through the frame

11:39 am

11:39 am

i don't think carroll meant there to be an answer, he was trying to be nonsensical

3:01 pm

that sounds like an interesting combination, Kallia -- is it sweet?

3:01 pm

i like the huge grids, more fun if you ask me - less pressure to finish if you have over 100 words left after trying at it all day

3:01 pm

mmm, kallia, sounds good!

3:01 pm

Hi, had a long talk with my friend on Vason Island, and promptly couldnt recall the island with the flower garden or the one you went to with Fiz. Can you tell me those names?

3:07 pm

I think its very bizarre though that Ann W is now married to Mo Mowlam's widower!

and he's online in Yahoo right now, in fact

3:08 pm

No that is Clare Short isnt it?

3:08 pm

oh, tell her we hope she recovers quickly from surgery!

3:08 pm

Don't know why all the circuits would be busy, there's nothing special happening around here today that I know of.

3:08 pm

Isn't that Care Short?

3:08 pm

smiley g-f, how's smiley doing? give our best...

3:13 pm

3:14 pm

hmmm. something in the air... over england and the states both... lol

3:14 pm

but I think Hobbit was just too tired to complain - she'd been chasing rabbits all over the beach all evening!

3:14 pm

heh

3:15 pm

it's a friendly day here - massachussets decided to let same-sex couples from RI marry there. yay!

3:15 pm

why RI specifically?

3:16 pm

does anyone have a clue for the la7/28 above the last la4?

3:16 pm

long, complex story, hursh - basically b/c we don't have any laws that explicitly prevent it (DOMA, const. amendment, etc.). I'm not legally smart enough to explain it succinctly

3:16 pm

pl of la6/18

3:16 pm

Fireworks for me, Off to my birthday dinner. Bye

3:17 pm

by inge and congrats

3:17 pm

3:17 pm

happy day inge - enjoy!

3:17 pm

bye inge and congrats

3:17 pm

your birthday?

3:17 pm

Mooch - just like the other la6/7 combo, but with a different second vowel

3:17 pm

well, that makes enough sense that you don't need to be any more legally savvy than that

3:17 pm

enjoy your diner

6:35 pm

6:36 pm

thanks muse, just checked my list and already had it

Yeah, he's a great writer. I love the food blogs too. Probably has something to do with working at a pizza place for way too long.

6:36 pm

april, an6/18 means to toughen or temper, an + **** armstrong (astronaut)

6:36 pm

thanks Dawn

6:37 pm

6:38 pm

6:39 pm

peri, te + opp of out + consonant and then plural for the 6

6:39 pm

Waiterrant and the Barmaid blog are the only ones I read regularly. I sometimes haunt a few vegitarian cooking blogs too.

6:39 pm

6:40 pm

6:40 pm

6:40 pm

I'll check that out.

6:41 pm

te7/36 please

6:41 pm

for some reason that **** armstrong is not coming out

6:42 pm

april, also rhymes with getting down on your knees (the last part) but spelled differently

6:42 pm

I know the word Fran, but I just need to monkey type, for some reason it isn't working.....arrgghh

6:42 pm

sorry april, it might just rhyme with **** armstrong, not sure if he has an i in his name or not

6:43 pm

april, start with the far right A

6:44 pm

te7 and the te5 right after it please

6:45 pm

it goes up then back down and then left

6:45 pm

peri, te7 is like the de7

6:45 pm

6:45 pm

te5/10 after it is the name of a physicist

6:45 pm

later muse!

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

I am sure I typed it by now Fran, I am thinking the puzzle gods are not allowing it at this time

6:46 pm

peri, de7 is a property of matter that is measured by comparing volume to weight

6:46 pm

Fran, te5/0 physicist, is it a name I would know from high school or college not being a science major

6:47 pm

april, make sure you are doubling the firs consonant.

6:47 pm

*first

6:47 pm

I am doing that

6:48 pm

something else and I will DOH anyminute!

6:48 pm

ok Fran I am stuck on the de7 still and the te5 and the te7 :)

6:48 pm

April, the man's name is not spelled the normal way. I had problems with it, too.

6:48 pm

peri, he is known for his experiments with static electricity, you always see people with their hair sticking straight up around a machine that he invented.

6:49 pm

Fran I know of the experiments, just can't remember the person's name

6:49 pm

Peri, search Edison's rival.

6:50 pm

nicola te***

6:50 pm

april, an then double the consonant + t** (not coffee) + consonant. that's the 6, make plural for the 8

6:50 pm

6:54 pm

wow i finally got it but had to write it on paper first! I don't know why I could not see that

6:54 pm

6:54 pm

Fran just found the de7 - I was going in the wrong direction

6:54 pm

6:55 pm

7:22 pm

iF we had an F I would have been happier, libra. :-)

7:22 pm

well done, peri! see you tomorrow.

7:22 pm

well guys - since no more clues, I am out of here

7:22 pm

oh -- that's why it looked familiar, liba. :-)

7:22 pm

bye peri, and *poof*

7:22 pm

yes, we're not that Fortunate... :)

7:23 pm

see you tomorrow, Wolvie. thanks

7:23 pm

How many words today?

7:23 pm

hi, stid!

7:24 pm

hi liba! how's lie?

7:24 pm

this is impossible

7:24 pm

half these words must be made up!

7:24 pm

hi stid and 305 words

7:24 pm

or life, whichever you prefer. I think my keyboard is getting old.

7:24 pm

Or maybe my fingers are getting old. *sigh* either way, something's not working!

7:25 pm

Van -- there are lots of unfamiliar words in here, but most of them are real if uncommon.

7:26 pm

seems so

7:27 pm

okay, my goal after halfway (already done that) is to get at least one word from each letter. I need something from the E in the middle of the second column to do this. Any ideas?

7:27 pm

2nd si6/18 please?

7:27 pm

life's good, ty, stid, & you?

they are all ELs, stid

7:28 pm

el5.10 - you could be happy if you get this stid

7:28 pm

en7/40-- to force into servitude?

7:28 pm

life is good here, too, liba. The kids are healthy, the dogs are happy (though never played with enough) and my roof won't leak even if the walls still need to be fixed. AND it was sunny today. :-)

7:28 pm

thanks turtle

7:28 pm

stid: try "you better behave, or e***!"

7:28 pm

hi lynxxx

7:29 pm

and thanks. I have now met all my goals for this grid.

7:29 pm

begging again: si6/18? I'm stumped

7:29 pm

TY libarebel!

7:29 pm

what can you get out of Z?

7:29 pm

inge, I have two si 6/18, the only difference between them is the final consonant.

inge - rhymes with baby cat

7:29 pm

yw, lynxx :)

7:29 pm

nothing, Van. The Z is not used today.

7:30 pm

oh ok, thanks

7:30 pm

and now that E box is completely gray! LOL you folks are the BEST!

7:30 pm

thanks Tea!

7:31 pm

do they go gray when you get all words starting with that letter?

7:31 pm

ty, TnC for si6/18!

you betcha!

yes, Van

7:32 pm

Van -- have you checked out Angelsong's Resource Pages? there is a link in the Friends of Babble section at the bottom of this page. She has info on the game and some really good "help" links as well...

7:32 pm

and might you have the se6/24?

en 6/21?

I don't

7:33 pm

hello TeaNCrackers! I see you are newish. Welcome!

7:33 pm

I'll try that thanks Stid

7:33 pm

hello at last!

yes, newish. I jumped into this both feet first!

7:34 pm

so pleased you have joined us. My step-grandmother lives in Reno, btw!

7:34 pm

{{{JILLIBUS}}} where have you been all day?

7:34 pm

te7/36 anyone?

I've lived here my whole life

7:35 pm

stidmama, can you give me a clue for the si 6/18

7:35 pm

the si 6/18 that I have are baby si**** so the parents can go out

7:35 pm

it's been a lot of little busynesses today, stid

7:35 pm

and the same word with a different ending consonant.

7:36 pm

I have 119 to go.

7:36 pm

te7/36 = the state of being te5/10. (Begins with a numbers and ends with what sounds like a big town.)

hi everyone! : )

7:36 pm

I have 127 to go

7:36 pm

evening kids! 6 to go for me but I have an iffy wireless connection

7:36 pm

ha...240 for me

7:36 pm

go Jill! *laces up racing shoes*

7:36 pm

Hi again, btw.

182 left for me - I was just getting used to those small ones and being able to finish them

7:37 pm

hi kristin! did you get outside any today? It was glorious down here!

7:37 pm

hi again Jacula. Are you feeling better from a couple days ago?

7:37 pm

thank you Jacula!

7:37 pm

can you get this puzzle with a smaller grid?

7:37 pm

yep stid...just got back from a long walk with my husband

7:37 pm

y/w, Inge.

7:37 pm

That was a great clue. I got one. You said there were 2 with a different final consonant.

7:37 pm

go stid who surpasses all *pulls on gumboots*

7:38 pm

good for you. I might drag Tom out later for a short walk, too.

hi jacs! : )

7:38 pm

1st si6/18 is like if you are sm***** by love's arrow but without the m.

7:38 pm

sounds good stid...only after you master this monster right?!?

7:38 pm

thanks msilver. Yes, just try alternate spellings randomly (at least that how I found it...) not sure what it means

7:39 pm

I also checked out your nice website. It's very nice and Tom seems great. You're lucky!

7:39 pm

can you get this game in smaller grids?

7:39 pm

oh sure, right. I don't think I'll finish tonight. It's a good evening for a family game of scrabble or something.

7:39 pm

van..it chnages every day..... sometimes smaller sometimes larger

7:39 pm

Van - Yes.

7:39 pm

thanks msilver. He's a good guy, and yes, I think I am lucky.

7:39 pm

Van..the grid sizes vary from day to day this is on the higher end but definitely not our largest

7:39 pm

AHA - smaller grids sound right up my street

7:40 pm

where can I find the smaller versions?

7:40 pm

Yesterday's was only 70-some words I think (after a while they all roll up together)

7:40 pm

ohhh

7:40 pm

so I can't go choose a different one?

7:40 pm

hi fellow babblers

7:40 pm

the grids show up randomly, Van, the older grids are in the archives but not really "playable"

7:40 pm

hi annie

7:40 pm

Van - on the days they happen. Today is not one of them!:)

7:40 pm

stidmama, like the dog from the green country

7:40 pm

Van...you just take what you can get from day to day...some only play smaller ones people like me...well, we're addicted and play anything

7:40 pm

hi annie!

7:40 pm

darn it

7:41 pm

thanks folks

7:41 pm

no van - just go with the day-to-day flow!

7:41 pm

and I think the small ones can sometimes be harder

7:41 pm

Van, the grids change everyday and I pray for the small ones, didnt get my prayer answered today

7:41 pm

seems like a bad day for my first try!

7:41 pm

Hi Stid, happy Grant is feeling better

7:41 pm

Hello everyone! what a grueling grid!

hey everyone!

7:41 pm

last va5/16 please? (begs, like a se6/18 dog)

ok - i think i've taken care of everything i needed to & can sit & play til i'm done

7:42 pm

me too. fortunately it wasn't a bit flu-ey thing this time, just a head cold.

7:42 pm

yes van, I'd agree this grid has some tough ones in it

7:42 pm

hi helen

7:42 pm

hi helen!

7:42 pm

hi lbd!

7:42 pm

Van, if you can get as many as you do on your first try that's good! big grids like this are wicked on everyone

7:42 pm

and kristin

76 to go - anyone wanna race?

7:42 pm

van, it doesn't really matter, because half the fun is the chat from all over, and getting as many words as you can. I'll be happy today if I get halfway

7:42 pm

Inge - several little Valeries + a vowel.

7:42 pm

inge...opposite of true, change the fist letter

7:42 pm

hi annie!

7:42 pm

but Jill. You ARE halfway already! :-)

hiya stid, kristin, annie, lbd, jili, inge, e1

7:43 pm

kristinc - why didn't I think of the simple way of clueing that? LOL.

7:43 pm

yep...I'll race you helen, 2 to go here :) (the only time I'd ever stand a chance of beating you!)

7:43 pm

hi there helen btw!

7:43 pm

I doubt I'll make 100

7:43 pm

da6.21 pls

7:43 pm

no I'm not, stid! I have 129 words with 176 still left to fine!

7:43 pm

merci beaucoup, kristin

LOL kristin!

7:43 pm

*find

7:43 pm

Van - You might surprise yourself. The word count creeps up fast in these big grids.

7:44 pm

OH! I thought you meant you had 129 to go... *grin*

7:44 pm

no worries Jac...you had your brain occupied with clueing some of the crazier ones!

7:44 pm

yw inge

7:45 pm

My icon clue is for a greedy sea bird, ga6/24.

7:45 pm

Stid, are we having a story tonight?

7:45 pm

oh I was startled with the da6.21

7:45 pm

van - another part of the fun is clicking on the icons and meeting the people whose profiles you find. Some have some wild stories (ch, renfield, evanonut)

7:46 pm

I decided to write the story directly to the website today because the grid was so big. It's already up -- be forewarned, if you don't like boats or swimming you might not like how this chapter ends...

7:46 pm

jacula, I was about to change mine to that!

7:47 pm

good ole stid, leaving us in suspense about her story!

7:47 pm

Lots of other words to choose to illustrate, jilli.

7:47 pm

my kingdom for the se/24!

HI EVERYONE! HI JACS!

7:47 pm

stid, will read it later, love boats and swimming but I am still forewarned, hmmmm

7:47 pm

se6/24 that is

7:47 pm

hi TO!

7:47 pm

Now Jill -- I didn't say exactly what happens ;-)

7:47 pm

Having said that, since I'm done, I suppose I could change my icon a few times. Problem is, site's slow to refresh today, it being a big grid, so perhaps not such a good idea.

7:47 pm

fireworks! who needs what?

7:47 pm

hi TO!

7:48 pm

I need the se6/24 too but I will give only one horse

7:48 pm

se6.24 - african (?) country without the last letter

7:48 pm

didn't know the profiles were clcikable

7:48 pm

se6/24!

7:48 pm

Hi Temple!

inge: african nation less the final consonant

7:48 pm

YAY kristinc! I need the last 112 words please... *wicked grin*

7:48 pm

hi temple

hiya to !!

7:48 pm

lynxxx, that was a PERFECT clue! :-)

didi anyone ever clue that da6?

7:49 pm

pity I can't claim it!

7:49 pm

indeed it was...fireworks, and txxx lynxxx

7:49 pm

I did! - I said I was startled by the word

7:49 pm

Van - Yes, the profiles are clickable. Every Friday we have an icon as a clue day. On other days we have themes. You don't have to do the themes if you don't want to though.

7:49 pm

YAY inge2!

yay inge

7:49 pm

Yay Inge!

7:49 pm

Stid...I'll that type 'o clueing to chj!

7:49 pm

wtg inge

7:50 pm

*ponders clue*

7:50 pm

Well done, Inge!

7:50 pm

YAY all those who have conquered this Goliath!!!

7:50 pm

Too true Jilli

7:50 pm

insert leave into my last comment for it to make sense...connection issues here

ty inge!

7:50 pm

so now what kristin? a long night of pining for the babble board? parcheesi again? another walk? *giggle*

7:51 pm

congrats, kristin!!!***!!!

7:51 pm

da6 & 7 are da4/5 (pointy pub 'weapon') + French masculine (sing. & pl.) for 'the'. It means 'to scuttle about'.

7:51 pm

how do you make a profile?

i have 42 to go

7:51 pm

would anyone like some clues?

7:51 pm

BBQ, a rented movie and I need to make a giant sign for a friend who I am surpising at the airport in the morning

7:51 pm

when you join as a paying member, Van (a one-time lifetime fee) you get the ability to add a profile.

7:52 pm

Also, the paying members have the "Tile stats" and "word stats" available. Yours will disappear after two weeks.

7:52 pm

I see

7:52 pm

what's the fee?

7:53 pm

Oh, that sounds like a super evening, kristin! I hope you'll have fun. it's actually easier to find people at the airport nowadays, I think. I picked up my dad a couple weeks ago

phantom word: gavel

7:53 pm

14.95 fpr lifetime membership

7:53 pm

She's been gone a month in the Phillipines (over her 50th birthday) and claimed that since she was gone, then we couldn't do anything to embarass her when in actuality, it just makes it that much easier to surprise her :)

7:53 pm

I think it's something like $15?

7:53 pm

van - it's US$14.95

7:53 pm

ok, thanks

7:54 pm

Van, it is well worth it

7:54 pm

oh HO! that is just too much, kristin... she'll be so happy to see you. :-)

7:54 pm

well, as I can't add it, I'm Rosemary, 20, from London

7:54 pm

yep, we're coming dressed in black with a walker...good times!

7:54 pm

okay, I want to find 9 more words then I will stop for the evening.

7:55 pm

other folks need clues before I depart?

nut - I remember a friend of mine saying that once (what you said at 9:12). She'd always wanted to 'sleep' with a Russian and finally got off with a 'roadie' for a Russian orchestra. Her story about his nylon string vest and knitted underpants had me wetting myself laughing before the rest of the ta4/4 was told.

evening all

9:15 pm

9:20 pm

for you jac, yes

9:20 pm

as for metrics, shmeltz - lbs and oz and inches and feet and so on are still lingua franca in Canada. The only metrics which are in fairly common usage are temperatures, kilometres, and sometimes grams in supermarkets. Even the kids give their heioghts and weights in feet and pounds.

9:20 pm

9:40 pm

Incidentally, Jason is somewhat foreshortened in my icon.

9:40 pm

will I know the teaching organisation helen? (australian)

9:41 pm

helen - Jason's character is a hothead in that, often acting before thinking. He's still gorgeous though. New series begins soon on SKY.

lbd - LOL. Know what you mean. However, in the UK morn I know I can clue without thinking too much because it's normally UK folks, Aussies and UK ex-pats on line. Later, I need to temper my clues to US and Canada. Having played this game for quite a while now, I sometimes know how to direct clues to a particular person, having learned what they do and do not understand.

9:47 pm

That's not to say I still don't get it all spectacularly wrong sometimes.

ugh - i am missing a word!

9:47 pm
