Okay, and leading off today's grid... SEXATHON! What, it's not a word? How can this be? Good morning, all!

1:08 am

Oh, found this nice Sn8/50!

1:09 am

i had a great english teacher also in high school that taught us word origins and probably helped me love language so much. she also made the most amazing appetizer meatballs that i wish to this day i could have again.

1:09 am

I found ne8/50

1:12 am

Well, I thought "sexathon" was funny, so there. Ptui!

1:12 am

thanks sprite!

1:12 am

I was surprised too, didn't expect 3

1:12 am

*imagines everyone having a hexathon 10/31*

1:13 am

hey ank - it was funny - someone mentioned it a bit earlier so that's why you didn't get the big reaction -

1:13 am

Well, that's better. :)

1:13 am

When the An10/105 by the G7/40 is a fact, I will never ever en8/50 my sword again.

is jerry lewis involved in these 'thons?

1:14 am

Ank it was funny but the log ws moving so fast I missed it the 1st time.

1:14 am

Ah Ankh, sorry! It IS funny, and we share the sentiment :)

1:15 am

*feels better* Hey, Sprite, I was thinking of you all day, hope it went as well as it could. Hiya, Swill! And all.

1:15 am

yes sprite - how are you?

1:16 am

Thanks for asking :) It did go as well as it could. Beautiful service, very much in line with my friend's character. It is very sad to loose a friend this way, so early, but it is good to see how many people are there to support eachother in coping with the loss.

1:16 am

great single clue for 3 words, Sprite

1:17 am

ARB said a wo-ord, ARB said a wo-ord... :D And you're very welcome, of course!

1:18 am

Nothing wrong with your timing, ARB *hug*

1:18 am

1:25 am

1:27 am

1:29 am

1:29 am

it would be nice to have the second letter of the g7, taz

1:29 am

well the humane society is full of beuatiful babies needing a home ankh

1:29 am

sorry fran - they were bothing me, those Hs, so i had to make them bother somebody else :)

1:29 am

starts with g 4.6

1:29 am

Yep, Taz, I'm on the waiting list at my rescue league. :)

1:29 am

Okay, I have a stupid question, ARB, Ankh... is it okay for non-Jewish people to wish you guys Happy Newyear?

1:29 am

for what type

1:30 am

of course it is sprite !

1:30 am

jilli: Ge7/40, very nasty people who did dirty work for Hitler.

1:30 am

can't remember if someone said pa7 already

1:30 am

oh yes, thanks, sprite!

1:30 am

Well, I'm atheist, so yeah, anybody can wish me anything any time and I take it as a nice gesture. ARB's the expert here.

1:30 am

meow

himler

1:30 am

Of course, Sprite. I will wish you Merry Christmas. I honor you and you honor me. Mutual respect. Aint that what peace and harmony is all about?

1:30 am

brb

1:31 am

jill any luck yet?

1:31 am

such a simple concept ARB, but one many people fail to embrace

1:31 am

I was once rebuffed for doing so by a Jewish acquaintance of mine, so I was a bit afraid to do so. So... Happy Newyear to ARB and debbs, may there be peace and joy in the year to come *hugs*

1:31 am

nicely said arb

1:31 am

ge4.6 tehn short version of sticky plastic used to seal things

1:31 am

I assume however, that what I said is unacceptable to extremists of all shapes colors and beliefs.

1:32 am

yes, thanks, taz - sprite set me on the right course

1:32 am

((((sprite)))))

1:32 am

Yes, very nice, ARB. Sprite, I guess some people are pissy and you just never know when you're gonna get licked or bit, as we say. :)

1:32 am

ankh what type of rescue are u wating for

1:32 am

One of my med techs is Muslim and he was so grateful that I wished him a nice Ramadan last year, tears came to his eyes. Not an easy time to be Muslim here, I guess.

1:32 am

German Shorthair Pointer, liver bitch, 8 years or older.

1:32 am

well said arb!

1:33 am

such pretty dogs

1:33 am

ank that is a very direct dog wish... good luck... and hello to everyone who is one the grid and chat

1:33 am

Ty, Taz. :) I love them toooo much.

1:33 am

Now if I could get my government (Israel) and a my other government (US) and a few other governments in the world to see it my way.......I'd be on my way to Stockholm for the Nobel prize for peace!

1:33 am

hi blaze

1:34 am

yes ia m a dog person through and htrough well a sucker for any animla really

I will simply say I wish peace and all that is good to everyone, and may you excel in the craft of life.

1:34 am

Yeah, well, the age thing is necessary cuz I'm not so spry myself. The bitch thing is Dear One's demand, because we babysat a boy dog who wee'd all over D.O.'s kitchen herbs. :)

1:34 am

hi blaze

1:34 am

No, really, Ankh, I think that is very hard at the moment. I enjoy, or should say love, being with all kinds of people and believes, I feel we can enrich eachother. And what is religion about anyway if there cannot be love and respect between people?

1:34 am

I'll vote for you ARB!

1:34 am

ARB, you are so on the right track!

1:34 am

hello blaze ! - i agree arb - i seond the vote

1:34 am

That is a wonderful blessing, Swill, to excel in the craft of life!

1:35 am

A sweet sentiment for someone named Swill, Gaddy! :)

1:35 am

Amen, Swill

1:35 am

I wish you could, ARB, I really wish you could!

1:35 am

with you swill

1:35 am

Hmmm... I think we share a common religion here, cuz we're all big fans of Dr. God! heh heh heh

1:35 am

LOL Ankh

1:35 am

united by words.

1:35 am

ARB for the Nobel!

1:36 am

hi mab!

1:54 am

rh4 ramie plant or fiber.

1:55 am

TY SPRITE GOTTA LOOOK

1:55 am

nah, occasional blindness is a common babbling disease. Especially for short words.

1:55 am

i really think hexation ought to be a word

1:56 am

lol

1:57 am

yea ty sprite

1:57 am

You don't want to know how often I tell myself: how hard can it be, it is only 4 letters, sheeezzzzz.... :) And still I'll be looking for 10 more minutes of so, and monkeying away.

1:58 am

that was a word i always forget

1:58 am

A friend of ours has a dog that is called Rh4. That's how I remember :)

1:59 am

good way to remember those words

1:59 am

It certainly qualifies for a babblet.

2:00 am

lol yes

2:02 am

Good nite everyone and peace!

2:02 am

by my

2:02 am

Peace out, Muse.

2:02 am

Night muse :)

2:02 am

night muse!

2:03 am

El, I agree with you about hexation. In fact, we need that word to use as a consequence of vexation.

2:03 am

I thought the rh4 was a bird - just looked it up and it is - like a small ostrich. It's also the ramie fibre.

2:03 am

i was just wondering that myself jilli!

2:04 am

It's also in mythology - a Titan -- hence the dog's name, maybe

2:04 am

Hey, I did not know that. Thanks jilli! I will tell my friend about her dog's name, that she called it after a tiny bird... it is a Berner Senner :)

2:05 am

Yeah, the one who gave birth to all the gods. But not Gaia, the other one.

2:05 am

its still not a *small* bird, Spritey ... just smaller than an ostrich :P and hi :)

2:05 am

hi ata!!

2:05 am

Too bad, it would have been gr5 to te5 her with it ;) Hi Ata *hug*

2:06 am

hi ata

2:07 am

oaten

2:07 am

Sprite, is that the same as a St. Bernard?

2:07 am

eewwww -- sorry!

2:07 am

Not exactly the same, but about the same size, yes. Different coloring.

2:07 am

er, txs, Jilli. :)

2:08 am

Ankh: http://home.planet.nl/~katte026/

2:08 am

*pines again for a moment for the GSP she doesn't have yet* We went to the dog picnic, were thinking about one who was not QUITE right... but our luck turned out, she was JUST right for another family, so POOF!

2:09 am

Oh, Sprite, I'm a dodo -- she's what we call a Bernese Mountain Dog here, in AKC parlance.

2:09 am

*hug* Ankh, you will find the perfect one for you... or she/he will find you.

2:09 am

just what I was thinking, ankh!

2:10 am

Txs, sprite, jilli... er, that is, I hope you were thinking my dog will show up, not agreeing that I am indeed a dodo.

2:11 am

LOL! Nah, you look anything but extinct to me.

2:12 am

Heh! Well, not tonight, at least.

2:13 am

Heh... my phantom is phantom. Anybody got the 10?

2:13 am

lol ankh - I was thinking the Berner Senner was a Bernese Mountain Dog - and I do hope you get your GSP

2:13 am

An10 builds on an5/20.

i got the 10 - it is an extension of the an 5/20 preceding

2:14 am

the 10 is what Hilter did to other countries

2:15 am

Hmmmm... I'll work on the ten, hmmm. Oh, good, Jilli! :)

2:16 am

Any hints on the ho 5/12?

2:16 am

ho + cyber...

hey, ARB - i just got up - insomnia.

2:17 am

Boker tov or Laila tov Melon. How did your fast go?

2:17 am

Yeah, Happy New Year, Melon.

OK - yours?

2:18 am

hi melon

2:18 am

Happy Newyear, melon :)

tx ankhorite

tx sprite

2:18 am

Jilli, make fun of me ... I got it in German first.

hi, jilli and anyone i missed

2:19 am

Fairly easy -- had to drink a little though -- hot and dry here yesterday.

2:20 am

Melon, ARB, if it's not too rude to ask, do you find the fast effective, spiritually speaking?

2:20 am

If it's too rude, just ignore me.

we had perfect weather - mid 60s. you would have loved what i prepared to break the fast - semolin/farmer cheese pancakes with blueberries & sour cream - way, way easier than blintzes.

yes, ankhorite. I think it matters that i do it with a congregation. basically except for sleeping at night and a 2 hour break in the afternoon, i'm in synagogue. the idea is to not interrupt prayer to meet bodily needs. The last 2 hours can be tough; i'm very careful to wean off caffeine a few days in advance.

2:23 am

It's not rude -- It is traditional; it brings me in touch with my grandparents; there is a sense of achievement in overcoming appetite. And sometimes it is very distracting. I think it changes from person to person, as well as from hour to hour within the person. Being in a synagogue helps.

it's not rude at all ankh

2:23 am

Oooh, I wouldn't have thought of that. Well, yeah, it is rude, but you're good sports about it. :)

no it is not! my yes was, yes you may ask. :)

2:24 am

Perhaps we should ask eachother this kind of question more often. It is so good to hear people tell about how they experience traditions like these. Thanks for sharing :)

2:24 am

Sprite, you are an angel, not a sprite!

ARB, for me, when I hear the shofar, i think this is the sound my grandparents, great-grandparents, and on back heard - the exact same sound.

2:25 am

Lol, see my icon... an angel with a bite and a sting, I fear ;)

this is the nicest, safest chatroom, i must say.

2:26 am

I have friends who are in a tradition where one withdraws to fast in solitude, and they say that works for them. But I'm more familiar with group vigils (though not so much with the fasting, since Vatican II eased up on that somewhat), and I know that, as you two have just said, they are made special, more intense, for being shared. Oh, Melon, what a thought! That certainly would make one feel...complete. At home. In place. Hmm, apparently the grid isn't the only place I grope for words..

2:26 am

Right on, Melon. And when I complain about being hungry, I can hear my gramma complaining in Yiddish.

2:26 am

Melon, I have never and would never chat anywhere else.

indeed, ARB, i agree.

2:27 am

I second that, melon!

we wordsmiths are atrange but gentle people...

2:27 am

Awww... it's true of my limited experience here, everyone is kind.

that was strange... can't type

2:28 am

everyone here is lovely :)

2:28 am

whos done

2:28 am

drifting towards French, etranger?

2:28 am

I have fasted in solitude and that both taught me a lot about myself (and how I deal with hardship and frustration) and made me feel more connected with Whatever it is that creates life.

2:28 am

except me i am mean to the bone lol

2:29 am

i didnt get that cyber ho clue

oh taz you're freakin' ferocious

2:29 am

chj, I haven'theard of anyone finishing - certainly not me!

2:29 am

Yes, Taz, you're quite fierce, LOL... Oh, it's someone's Babble name. Ho + cyber _ _ _

2:29 am

teehee melon

2:29 am

taz: ho + the end of one of our dear fellow babblers called Cyber***. Or take the start of someone who sits kids as a profession :)

2:30 am

oo ok cool got it tyvm

2:30 am

i mean about time you clued me grrrrrr

2:30 am

Eh, I am done. Can I help with a clue?

2:30 am

YAY Sprite

the 7s & 8s sprite & congrats

2:30 am

CHJ, I'm almost "done" in that I'm just over half, which is usually "done" enough for me... and I gotta go lie down. But the conversation has been particularly good this evening/morning/whatever for each of us.

2:30 am

yea sprite

2:30 am

yay sprite!

2:30 am

47 to go

2:31 am

Yeah, sprite, re-clue that th8, okay? and congrats, too!

2:31 am

*hug* Anhk. Have a good rest :)

2:31 am

i need a 7 letter clue or 2

laila tov - ankh - which is "goodnight"

2:31 am

Th8: th + tiny particle + past te5 of what you don't do while fasting.

2:32 am

i have only te 7 sp 7 pa7 and ge7

2:32 am

YAY sprite!!!

2:32 am

Any hint on the ne 7/36?

2:32 am

"laila tov" has such a beautiful sound to it. Makes me smile every time you say it.

tense

2:32 am

Oh, Sprite, nevermind, I got it as soon as I typed the request... thanks! I'm done now, as in, half-done... see ya'll later! Thanks for the good chat tonight. Laila tov to you all. *POOF!*

oooooooooooops!

2:33 am

Ne7: drop one vowel from the 8.

2:34 am

I'm half asleep but don't have the ne8

2:34 am

sorry for the delay in your next stage, sprite! its high on my list, honest! urf, everything's just been busy. I know you're not worried, but just letting you know :)

2:34 am

po7/32 Po + couple of adolescents

2:34 am

Ne8: saying I don't

or - teens without cash!

2:35 am

thanks, sprite

wooops - that was not subtle.

2:35 am

lolol\

2:35 am

You're the best, Ata! It is in the best of hands with you, and I know you will get to it when you can. Just take your time *hug*

2:35 am

LOL melon!

2:35 am

bad bad work deadlines! they mess up my real art life!

2:36 am

one more 7 pls

2:36 am

toda, Sprite. (Toda == thank you in Hebrew)

2:36 am

And how do I say "you're very welcome"?

2:37 am

ARB - could you write these Hebrew phrases down in Babanon or somewhere? I'd love to remember them but I need to see them somewhere where they don't disappear on the chat log!

2:37 am

taz, do you have sp7/32 or sp7/36?

2:37 am

7.32

2:38 am

anyone got po6/24 after the rhymers

2:38 am

Sp7/36: s + small road + vowel - plural

2:38 am

sp7/32 - put a sp***** in the works (mess things up)

2:39 am

chj: Po6/24 ends in what is left over after a fire.

2:39 am

Interestingly, there is no word for you.re welcome. Politely, you say the word for please, as if you are saying "if you please" in response. Or you say "it was nothing", which I really find offensive (coming from myEnglish) -- if you get a thanks for something, why say it was nothing?

2:40 am

thanks sprite

2:40 am

self-deprecation!

2:40 am

ty much jill sprtie

2:40 am

Similar to the Spanish, I know.

ARb , also true in French"de rien" & "il n'y'a pas de quoi" are "it was nothing" - did you find Israeli manners taking some getting used to?

2:41 am

That is interesting, ARB. And I agree, it is a silly way to answer one's appreciation. What is the word for please, please?

I love the directness.

2:41 am

ARB - is there an equivalent to the Brit "don't mention it"?

b'vakashah (stepping in for arb)

2:42 am

thanks :) So, belatedly: b'vakashah!

2:42 am

i need moslty e words o well maybe in the am ty all

2:42 am

that sounds more like Klingon!

2:43 am

Sprite - "b'vakasha" is please. Jilli, it was nothing can also be translated as don't mention it, since the phrase literally is "there is no thing" .

2:44 am

are both the b and the v pronounced there? b - vakasha?

2:44 am

Yes

ne8, ne7, sn8, te7 clues please? b'vakashah?

perpiacere? s'il vous plait?

2:46 am

ne8: the act of denying. ne7: drop one vowel from the 8. sn8: take my picture and you have one te7: mixed-up digit from the foot + something to cook in, plural.

2:46 am

ne 8 -- act of denying. ne 7 is the ne 8 with one less vowel. sn 8 = picture taken by a home camera

2:47 am

Sprite, you type fast!

2:47 am

We sing almost in unison, ARB :)

Todah RabaH! )thank you very much).

what is ne7? the bomb you don't drop?

2:48 am

what is the equivalent of "go with God", or similar, the sort of farewell you can give people?

2:48 am

ARB, I don't think "don't mention it" is quite the same as "it was nothing". It says there was something, but fugeddabahdit -- ?

2:49 am

wah! the nazi police are allowed!

and yet neato isn't!

2:50 am

Jilli, you're right -- but a lot also depends on the inflection when saying it. It can convey anything from a sense of dismissal to gentle hand waving.

2:50 am

they are not. never.

2:50 am

neither is phaser

;) sprite - you are quick!

2:51 am

I see what you mean, ARB

my phantom - gestation

2:52 am

more phantoms - hosta and harps

hmmm, no neato allowed, yet a very recent hip-hop slang is.

well, everyone, i've reached my goal - halfway and all the 7s & up. better catch 3 hours before my schoolkid gets up. He fasted 24 out of 25 hours - very proud of him.

so. laila tov, you are all so nice. see you later.

3:35 am

bye beast!

3:36 am

Thanks ARB, glad to help :)

3:36 am

bye Beast

3:36 am

Haz are you there? I have a big problem that you may be able to help with. Please don't laugh - well not too loudly. My kitchen is upstairs and a squirrel came through the window and created havoc - smashing things. I cannot catch it and it has now been in there for 48 hours. I'm at the end of my tether. HELP

3:37 am

Frances, I am here. You would need to call either the RSPCA or your local council - they would usually have some sort of pest control people.

3:37 am

Here in the States Frances, we have wildlife rescue that will come help.

3:37 am

I take it you have left the window open to let it out?

3:38 am

hard not to laugh Frances

3:38 am

Haz I've tried that. The council will come out for mice or rats and the RSPCA will come out for other wildlife but neither will come out for squirrels.

3:39 am

Thanks Andree. Even I can see the fu

3:39 am

Even I can see the funny side but it is very annoying

3:39 am

Hello everyone...

3:39 am

hi douglas!

3:39 am

Good grief! Try contacting your local vet for advice, or are there any animal rescue centres nearby?

3:40 am

it will seem a lot funnier in 6 months when you retell the story over a drink or 2

3:40 am

Window has been left open day and night

3:40 am

i don't suppose you can lure it out with food when it's in the kitchen already.

3:40 am

Francis, try a humane animal trap, bait it with food. Locally here you can borrow them from SPCA.

3:40 am

hi douglas

3:40 am

Hi Douglas

3:41 am

maybe it is no longer hungry

3:41 am

Tried leaving food out. It has gone untouched - must be on a diet!

3:41 am

Our local environmental health department has cat cages which are baited to trap wild cats - try them to see if they would come out to do it, or let you borrow the cage. (I'm not laughing by the way,this must be really annoying!)

3:42 am

Are you sure he is still there Francis, maybe he is ill and thats why he won't come out.

3:42 am

what happens when you go in the kitchen, does it hide or just run about

3:43 am

This grid may be a little difficult, eh?

3:43 am

we don't have squirrils in Aus

3:43 am

it's not bad douglas.

3:44 am

but possums are real pests

3:44 am

They are cute little creatures! I hand raised one once. A baby that fell from a tree outside.

3:44 am

Yes def still there. When I go into the kitchen it hides. Looks very healthy. I will try your suggestions re humane traps. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you all.

3:44 am

Good morning Dougas - it's a nice grid, but at the minute we're busy trying to get a squirrel out of Frances' kitchen.

3:44 am

good luck Frances

3:44 am

Good Luck Frances

3:44 am

yes, good luck frances!

3:45 am

Or, Frances, do you know any fishermen with nets?

3:45 am

Try the trap Frances, I am sure it will work, just make sure the only food available for him is in the trap, he will go to it eventually, good luck!

3:46 am

I need to get on with "normal" life -- anyone need any help before I sign off?

3:47 am

Thanks all. Isn't it wonderful that there are so many of you out there who are able to offer such good advice. Thanks again. Bye

3:47 am

I'm off everyone, have a great night/day!! Vye! And good luck Frances!

3:47 am

not ready to ask for clues yet arb! just collecting those that jump in front of me! thanks!

3:47 am

night cat!

3:47 am

Let's hope it IS good advice! I do hope you get rid of your unwanted creature.

3:48 am

Bye Cat

3:48 am

3:58 am

3:59 am

still trying to figure out how you put a sword away, LOL

3:59 am

looking good ;)

3:59 am

ta4/5 and ta5/12 - add a shortened version of hour for ta4/5 and pluralise

3:59 am

Put a sword in its sh6/24

3:59 am

it is one of the blue ones...but it is much better colour than i thought...more grey blue

3:59 am

thanks haz, forgot about that word.

4:18 am

thanks andree! those were two of the Hs i was missing.

4:18 am

nope, it's not hoyiayia, LOL

4:20 am

where do the 2 bottom Ns go> It's frustrating when you think you're finding it and it blacks out a different letter

4:21 am

penny, rhymes with ro** barrett

4:21 am

they use the same letter Pap

4:21 am

and plural

4:21 am

They are 'nothing' with a different last vowel and plural

4:23 am

thanks, do you know that I always miss that? I was putting in double n's/ and in greek that also means godmother, but I always pronounce it with the same vowel

4:29 am

Okay, time for a break. 66 to find later. And I AM moving away from the computer. Honestly.

4:29 am

bye, haz, have a good one

4:30 am

suuure haz! see you "later!"

4:30 am

4:31 am

Hi everyone. How's it going?

4:31 am

hi, angb, not bad, about half way done

4:32 am

hi angb

4:32 am

Me too. I was on earlier tinkering away and someone got half way thru in about 1/2 hour ... sure puts me to shame.

4:34 am

took me about 40 minutes I think

4:35 am

Ahhh - there you go I am slow - mind you I find myself staring in one spot for a long period of time = sort of glazed LOL

4:36 am

I usually try to go across the grid, but I can't help but wander, I think that's how I get the easy words first, they just pop out and with my sometimers, I'm afraid I might forget them, LOL

4:37 am

Yep - I get a great satisfaction from grey squares - but the top left was an R today LOL - nasty things R's.

4:37 am

I know, found 4 and gave up, will have to ask for clues later

4:38 am

4:42 am

5:19 am

been monkying that one for a while andree...no luck so far

5:19 am

sp6/24 - a botanical term. Singular sp4/5 followed by the definite article

5:20 am

thx haz

5:20 am

It can be pluralised forsp7/36

5:21 am

I had the plural Haz it seems, but not the singular - doh!

5:21 am

thanks haz!

5:21 am

It happens to all of us!

5:22 am

thx haz, will work on it

5:22 am

Hi Haz. Didn't see you there; I was busy typing my 'found on paper' words in. Done that now. Got 98 left to find.

5:23 am

ty haz..got there in the end :D

5:23 am

Andree - For sp6 (& plural 7) think of the old news, 'P**** News'.

5:23 am

Hello Jacula - I was on earlier, have 63 left to find and am dipping in and out. It's a nice grid.

5:25 am

Haz - I think that's what I'll have to do, in between ironing.

5:25 am

95 left...might think about lickety soon

5:26 am

Ironing and babble don't mix, I've discovered. A pity, I like doing both but apparently not together.

5:27 am

Haz - You haven't ironed your keyboard??

5:27 am

I HA4/5 ironing! Can I send you mine, Haz?:)

5:28 am

What a thought! Melted plastic all over the place..

5:28 am

LOL.

5:28 am

You can send me your ironing as long as you haven't left it for ages!

5:29 am

I like washing and ironing but I hate putting the clothes away.

5:30 am

Just measured the pile, Haz. It's 1' 10" high. (That's 2 lots.)

5:31 am

That's a lot of ironing!

5:31 am

I wonder what it would cost to post that pile to you, given the new postal rates...

5:31 am

Haz - It's a normal amount for this household. I have about the same amount drying on the airer, too.

5:32 am

People going past the window would conclude that I've gone mad. I'm sitting estimating what that looks like. Fishermen measure horizontally, I'm measuring vertically.

5:32 am

ROFLOL, Haz!

5:33 am

morning

5:33 am

hi scatty

5:34 am

When I was growing up our next door neighbour was, shall we say, less enthusiastic about than my mother. She once asked, in all seriousness, whether my mother was taking in washing for other people, as she couldn't fathom how one family could need so much done.

5:34 am

I've just been to see if 'Hunting Cat' wants to come back in and finish his breakfast. He went out to scoff his latest dead mouse in preference to the 'Whiskas' offered. He is now sitting on top of the barbecue... Surely he's not cooking it??

5:35 am

Can you imagine what barbecued mouse is going to smell like?

5:35 am

Haz - re. the ironing etc. I'm often heard to exclaim, 'How can one family wear this much stuff? I'm sure the neighbours are sneaking their things in, too!'

5:36 am

My eldest daughter is now teaching P1 and regularly comes home with paint over her clothes. The children get to wear aprons, but not her!

5:37 am

A little Greek letter is lurking in the grid...

5:37 am

I don't know why cat food manufacturers don't do flavours like 'mulled mouse', 'stewed blackbird' etc. I'm sure the cats would prefer it!

5:38 am

Haz - Know what you mean about the paint-spattered clothes. My daughter was an art student.

5:38 am

Hi Scatty, Douglas et al.

5:39 am

Douglas - Thanks! I hadn't sp**ted that until you mentioned it.

5:40 am

Non-greek scholars are waiting hopefully for a bit more of a hint. You're such a tease, Douglas.

5:41 am

Haz - It's an i4/4.

5:41 am

"Little" was definitely a hint, as the letter (in lower case, anyway), is the littlest Greek letter, requiring only one stroke of the pen...

5:42 am

Gosh, I never knew it was a greek letter. You live and learn.

5:42 am

There is also an e - we have a brand of peanut butter and potato chips with this name

5:42 am

done!!

5:42 am

Well done, Fran!

5:43 am

Well done Fran - I still have heaps to go. So I've got something to do while eating breakfast tomorrow. Nite all

5:43 am

Well done Fran!

5:43 am

night angb!

5:44 am

Angb - I'd got the 'e', but you made me look over there again and I found the Sicilian volcano & plural.

5:44 am

'Night Angb.

There, after much searching and dithering about I've made a selection

5:44 am

I'm halfway to halfway, but out of ideas. Time to break out the list and the monkeys!

5:44 am

Greek letter but no Greek cheese. It's been gone for a long time.

5:44 am

i can't believe i didn't have the volcano until i went to the list!

5:45 am

Haz - It was in one of the WebBoggle grids last night.

5:45 am

(The cheese, that is.)

5:46 am

And did you leap gratefully upon it, like the cat on the pre-barbecued mouse?

5:46 am

Yup! I still can't find out who my team mates in there are... one plays as 'team babble' and the other as 'Team Babble'.

5:47 am

would anyone like a clue before i head off to quote-puzzler?

5:48 am

A mystery then? Can you tell by their playing styles or anything?

5:48 am

Fran - I'm okay, thanks.

5:48 am

Haz - No. There's no chat in WebBoggle.

5:49 am

If you sign in under the team name your scores get joined together.

5:49 am

No individual glory then?

5:49 am

thx Fran, have a goodnight

5:49 am

jac, i think hurshy plays, not sure who else.

5:49 am

I love your icon.

5:57 am

My mother had a Keeshund - and she did groom, spin & knit it up !

8:13 am

Hi, Mr.P! Yes, my Dad died, as you probably know, and I havn't felt much like chatting.

8:13 am

sorry to hear that jai - I didn't know

Oh jai!! I am sorry!! I didn't know!

8:13 am

i'm off to the doctor's- 33 left -s's and p's- good luck everyone

8:14 am

Ty, Wolvie- it was suddden and he was only 71....

see ya beebee!! best of luck!

8:14 am

good luck, beebee Jaianniah, my heart and prayers are with you. I lost mine in January -- I do understand {{{ jai }}}

8:14 am

jaian- i'm so sorry, i'll be thinking of you

8:14 am

jaia - (((HUGS)). I know how it feels.xxx

8:15 am

I lost my Dad when he was young too - not quite 67 - long time ago tho - still haven't quite gotten over it

8:15 am

(((((ch1212)))))) back at you!! TY....

8:15 am

bye beebee

8:15 am

sorry to hear about your Dad as well, ch - hugs to you

8:16 am

So sorry, Wolvie- do we ever really get over these losses so much as adjust to them?

8:16 am

I don't think we do get over it, jai - just adjust as you say.

8:17 am

TY Jac and beebee

8:17 am

and back to you, wolvie... My momma died in 1981 when I was 25, and I still think of her every day. I have, as you said Jai, 'adjusted' but there is a space in my heart where her spirit lives.

My sympathies jai

8:17 am

Wolvie - I lost my Dad 3 years ago on 23rd November after a long battle with Alzheimer's. He was only 72. I still think about him every day.

8:18 am

Oh, ch, how horrible to lose your Mom so young....that really is terrible....

8:18 am

ty, metal ((()))

8:19 am

my dad managed to kill himself 2 weeks before my university finals ... nothing like that to defocus the mind!

8:19 am

so many losses here - everywhere I guess. sorry to hear of them. I still have my Mom - she'll be 80 in Dec.

I agree Wolvie. The pain of losing my parents (daddy in 1972 when he was 73 and mama in 1979 when she was 63) is still with me, I just deal with it better than I used to do.

8:19 am

Jai, I'm not the age matters ... our hearts grieve at any age. My natural dad died when I was 9, and my mom was blessed to remarry my "heart dad" who went in January. With all three, the grief was the same. Atalante, {{{ hugs }}}

oh Ata {{{Ata}}}

8:19 am

OMG Atalante!

8:19 am

It does get less painful though, except when some silly little thing catches you unawares. My Dad has shown he's still keeping an eye on me in lots of ways... for instance, I wonder where a tool or something is, or what tool to use to do something, and the tool or the answer is suddenly there. I feel warm inside when that happens.

Oh Atalante!! what a tragic thing for you!!

8:19 am

oh ata - how horrible - so sorry

8:20 am

same here, Jac - Dad's are like that. :-)

8:20 am

Ata - oh, how awful! (((HUGS)))

8:20 am

I think I was more mad at him for messing up my finals for a long time! But ... time *does* heal, you do adjust and move on, whatever happens ...

8:20 am

Yes- I have had some strange things happen...it is like he is trying to help me adjust....and know he's still there for me....

8:21 am

on a different note - I can't get the grid to take Po 6/24 's plural - it is an e, isn't it?

8:21 am

Wolvie - no, an 's'.

8:21 am

there is no 6/24 pl.

That's true, Atalante. I read a wonderful book by Judy Collins about her son's suicide, and she wrote that something like 75% of us have someone who killed themself in our family. Two of my cousins did. She wrote about how it affects everyone, no matter how distant. But I think losing a parent that way has to be the hardest. {{{ again }}}

8:22 am

okay - we are talking a different po 6 then - no way to add an s to K2CO3

8:22 am

nope

8:23 am

8:24 am

its not easy! it just messes up the whole situation - you can't grieve cos you're angry and upset and don't understand what happened. but acceptance does turn up eventually and life carries on!

hi all -so sorry about your dad jai. It's always sad to lose a parent. My dad died almost 9 yrs ago at 72. He ' hugs' me when I'm low & some people ( including me till it happened!) think it's creepy but I love it! Keep him close, those you love are always there for you

8:24 am

annie when we drove across northwestern NY state, I felt a genuine thrill to see a sign saying "New York City" and giving the mileage. It's a city I've heard of since I was a kid. I thought of you too :)

9:21 am

ch, glad to hear that you thought of me, that is nice, how are you settling in?

9:21 am

Pretty well, so far. I'm expecting the cable guy anytime now. My beloved is really enjoying his new job, and I've started the search process.

9:22 am

The leaves of course, are incredible!!!

9:22 am

We keep hearing the leaves haven't even started yet, but right now they are better than Idaho's autumnal peak!

9:23 am

ch1212, now that you are so close to NYC you can visit and see all the great sights...happy your beloved likes his new job, so important, and good luck on your search!

9:23 am

Thanks, annie

9:24 am

ch1212, October is glorious in New England....my daughter lives in Ct. and I love to sit on her deck and just look at the trees....even in Brooklyn the foliage can be awesome

9:24 am

I grew up in Manhattan and it is worth a trip one day

9:25 am

I live in CT and I've read that the folliage peak is getter later in Oct. It used to be Columbus day but it's now a week later

9:25 am

We went for a drive Saturday and took photos. New Hampshire is about 15 miles away, and Ct. is about an hour's drive. Oh, Manhattan! I would love to go but only if we DO NOT drive -- too scarey.

9:26 am

Hello Babblers, the who's Online list says "Pen" is online right now. Would the REAL Pen please say something? My husband used to play babble by that name

9:26 am

bichon, your puppies are adorable!

9:26 am

thanx, but puppies they're not. The remaining one is 12 1/2 [but they do look young

9:26 am

oh sorry, cable guy here --- happy hunting!

9:27 am

Hi, just finished the grid. Hello everyone

9:27 am

*Sudeten

9:38 am

thnx, bichon & inge

9:46 am

east coast here, it is starting early in chicago, Laurel

No, but we need a storm, klaurel. It is dry and record hot here in missouri

9:47 am

oh, yeah. it was REALLY nasty last night. It tore my trellis right off the wall and did a number on my clematis

Our leaves usually change in mid to late october, but they are peaking now this year

9:47 am

In Chicagoland area, no cell phone and no cable tv, but the computer works so am able to babble

9:48 am

lordel

9:48 am

my husband discovered the caulking around one fo the windows was bad when the storm just pounded the thing until it leaked

9:48 am

lordel---I'm just joining to say hi

wow, i didn't know that there were such severe storms last night. On the morning news shows I didn't see anything.

9:49 am

Hi lordel

hi lordel

9:49 am

lordel----oh yes I'm a woman

9:49 am

OOOOH, mary, you are in one of the bad areas! I was lucky to only have only had a sporadic power failure (about 2-3 minutes, multiple times)

9:49 am

pebble, I love your bio

9:50 am

I am in the Western Burbs, Mary

9:50 am

i live in the Niles Area and it was hailing it seemed for a long time

9:50 am

our sidedrive was coverd in ice

9:50 am

Pebble - http://www.nbc5.com/news/9988740/detai l.html

9:51 am

really bad ,and more to come tonite

9:51 am

Yeah, it was nasty when I read the warnings last night and it actually mentioned our village!

9:51 am

I hope it won't be as bad tonight

9:51 am

it was REALLY bad last night

9:51 am

*outrage*

9:51 am

LORDEL HAS TO QUIT TO GO TO BIBLE STUDY-----jOHN 8:1--------------------

thanks, annie

9:52 am

bye lordel

9:52 am

I haven't had the TV on this morning, guess I's better catch up on what's going on in the midwest. Hope things aren't worse tonight.......

9:53 am

hi all

9:53 am

morning chj

9:53 am

hi chj!!! here's lookin at ya

hi chj, love the icon

9:54 am

thanks, guys! Keep your fingers crossed that we survive tonigt's storms

pida, i see you changed your icon again. My daughter loved the ent one

9:54 am

64 mph gusts last night - in Chicago!

Chicage- the REALLY windy city

9:55 am

:) Normally not that bad, actually. I think Chicago isn't even the windyest city in the US

9:56 am

Hi Chj, how was Idomeneo? Now I have to check weather reports. Usually Detroit gets what Chicago had day before.

9:56 am

hello

9:56 am

hi jand

9:56 am

*jane

9:58 am

Inge, I think it formed from the Northwest this time

10:00 am

pebble, thnx, I liked the Ent also

10:01 am

idomeneo was great inge...not my favorite mozart but not bad

this one is cool. I also like your poem. Florida is becoming very populated. I grew up there and remember how it used to be.

10:04 am

Yeah, pebble, more and more people are moving into Florida. It's about time for me to move out

10:04 am

well, it seems that same storm quiietly skirted SE Michigan and is past Cleveland already

10:05 am

Pida, lots of empty space in Michigan right now

When I was a kid, I lived in Stuart. It was a tiny town with nothing more than a Dairy Queen. We had to go to a different town for school. Now it is acres and acres of subdivisions and strip malls.

10:06 am

I love the UP. I spent a summer on Isle Royale

10:08 am

When I was a teenager, I lived in Brownsville, a suburb of Arcadia. No one had heard of Arcadia until the hurricanes in 2004

10:09 am

inge, it's too cold in Michigan......

my mother wants me to move back to Florida. She finds it unthinkable that I would prefer the midwest.

10:11 am

I was born in Seattle, but left at about 3 yr old. I would love to go back there, or in the Oregon area

10:12 am

i'm going to retire to Seattle

10:12 am

great

10:12 am

dagnabit

that's beautiful country, but, like florida, lots of people want to live there too, so it is getting crowded

10:13 am

well, hopefully in 34years when it is time, it will be okay

10:13 am

I know, but I don't want to live in a city, so maybe there's still room in the country for me

10:14 am

by the time you retire, Praes, they won't be any empty land anywhere

10:14 am

Maybe Alaska!!!!!

10:14 am

tosh, there's plenty in montana

10:15 am

oh yes there will be. There better be at least 5 acres, cosindering i've already purchased it.

10:15 am

There is always room for Babble players here in the nNorthwest. . .

10:15 am

ooh, a planner

10:16 am

have to these days. The future is nothing but a planned experience. The more you plan, the better it is

Mid missouri is just about right for now. A little bit city, a lot country. Columbia is a University town, which gives us culture, but there are still a lot of stars visiible on a clear night.

10:17 am

In my life it's been,"the best laid plans of mice & men.......Something always comes up

10:17 am

pretty much, Pida

10:17 am

time does change things

That is so true, pida!

10:17 am

planned on that too. Thats why i got the land already

10:18 am

istanbul was constantinople, now it's istanbul not constantinople... even old new york was once new amsterdam...

10:18 am

Where is it located Praes

I want to live in Korea and teach english when my husband retires

10:18 am

10:30 am

yeah

10:30 am

:)

10:30 am

That's obviously where I'm falling down - no an5/10!!

10:30 am

Thanx, hurshy!

10:30 am

Or an5/20!

10:30 am

I can use that AN 5.20 too. :)

10:30 am

have you read about the an10 of the sudetanland by germany before wwii

10:30 am

oh, and the AN 10, would be helpful

10:30 am

is normal word

chris, the 10 is the process that cities and school boards employ to acquire additional land to add to their tax base

10:31 am

OK. Think of an extension to a building. Or one country nicking a bit of another.

10:31 am

Got them!!

10:31 am

or that tom delay uses to try to maintain republican domination

10:31 am

well done, chris P!

10:31 am

thanks, guys!

10:31 am

but when you call it "redistricting" it doesn't sound as bad

10:32 am

for some reason, I just didn't connect the dots

jerrymandering is a phantom?

10:32 am

does that word actually exist, hurshy?

Hello all

10:32 am

there's your problem klaurel, you have misunderstood the game - you have to connect letters, not dots

10:32 am

define "exist", hydra

10:32 am

Redistricting sounds worse, because you know that is just for political domination

10:32 am

Hi there, ladynoire.

10:33 am

but an10 sounds so nazi-ish

10:33 am

morning lady

10:34 am

the AN10 just sounds like adding an unincorporated area to your town or village

10:34 am

Hi lady

10:34 am

They are doing a lot of that in Naperville and Plainfield, etc

10:34 am

gerrymandering, gadarene.

oh, mabbity mabber, how are you?

2:27 pm

Hi bloodaxe, thanks to Stid I understand your icon now. Is that really the flag of Morocco? Seems so un Moslem

2:27 pm

oh no, you're a student.

Hi Stid, didnt see you in the room right away.

2:28 pm

2:28 pm

Ah, thanks, Hurshy. Poor Blood, we can't call you by your sharper name today!

2:29 pm

that's good to hear, been worried

2:29 pm

hi inge!

2:29 pm

actually inge, the red represents the red earth of Morocco, and the green of the star represents Islam, and the 5-points are for the 5 pillars of Islam.

2:29 pm

Bless me, Blood, did you write to Dr. God? I see your icon!

2:29 pm

Hi mab!

2:29 pm

hi torg

2:29 pm

just finished the last cuff on the shirt, just need to add a few buttons and I am done with it. (well a little trim on the pants when we get them -- not going to make pants by hand!)

2:29 pm

Nice to see you ..

2:30 pm

point total please?

2:30 pm

what are you going as stid?

2:30 pm

hurshy, I read about tesselations last night in re escher. interesting.

2:30 pm

2529

2:30 pm

2529

2:31 pm

I don't go to events where there are lots of children. I'll stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet while Tom takes them!

2:31 pm

i know a tesselations song from square one

2:31 pm

i'm sending him a message right now ank. Stid had the grand idea that we all use the Moroccan flag as our icon until I get a flag.

2:31 pm

Txs for explaining flag lore, Blood. Hey, I'll do it -- you don't think he'd get mad, do you?

2:31 pm

i have to admit, i didn't know what they were...

2:32 pm

"shant" is so a word!

2:32 pm

WHAT is this blasted wrod

2:32 pm

word

2:32 pm

drop the N, firefly

2:33 pm

Yes, dear *patpats Firefly* of course it is.

2:33 pm

thx klaurel, but i have that one

2:33 pm

ah

2:33 pm

hey, watch it Ankh! :P

2:33 pm

done

2:33 pm

did i beat you tor?

2:33 pm

nope

2:33 pm

YAY hurshy!

2:33 pm

am i getting better or is this grid just not so bad

2:33 pm

as in "I shant be long" (spoken when leaving and coming back soon)

2:33 pm

YAY tor!

2:34 pm

*hee hees at Firefly* Aww, I know how it feels!

2:34 pm

well anyway i made it listless

2:34 pm

But it's "shan't be long," contraction of shall not, so you can't have it. No apostrophe in the grid.

2:34 pm

yay, ankh stickled for me

2:34 pm

rah for torgone, even though hurshy was listless

2:35 pm

i don't know how he's feel about it ank. We would all be aware that it is a very friendly sort of protest, just in good fun. but i've never talked to Dr_God so I don't know how he'd take it.

2:35 pm

YAY Hurshy! YAY Tor! YAY Inge! I hope that gets me caught up. :)

2:35 pm

rah for hurshy just because and because she was listless

2:35 pm

Hmmm. Well, maybe I'll hold off until he's had a day to consider your email. :)

2:35 pm

i just sent it. I'll let you know when/if I get a response.

2:35 pm

Bloodaxe, Dr_God is a sweet, santy-claus type of person. He is nice and I think he would find our peaceful demonstration entirely neat!

2:35 pm

alright Ankh, maybe you're right then...apostrophes, darn them

2:35 pm

epscuse me but i think i can say with utter certainty that doc would so not care if people make the flag their icon.

2:36 pm

inge finished? and I missed it?

2:36 pm

blood, take to dr. g-d; he will get your flag.

2:36 pm

sweet and santa-clausy? i was thinking more computer geek oblivious to matters pertaining to sensitivity

2:36 pm

hahaha..santy-claus type, stid? i know have a very neat image of Dr God.

2:36 pm

i want to hug him.

2:37 pm

i think that's more stid projecting than anything, blood.. :)

2:37 pm

stid thinks everyone is sweet because she is sweet.

2:37 pm

I guess I think of him with a beard. Don't know why, it's not a melodramtic Jovian beard or anything.

2:37 pm

well, he's about half my age, I think -- but he's always been really nice and responsive when I write to him.

2:37 pm

Dr G's icon is that of ZZ Top Blood, still want to hug him??

2:37 pm

oh, bosh, blood, he's just a precocious 12-year-old

2:38 pm

lol

2:38 pm

(man, do I have the wool pulled over hurshy's eyes)

2:38 pm

He's 20??? He's a baaaaby!!!

2:38 pm

where's artlady, she could tell us how old doc is

2:38 pm

12!

2:38 pm

ZZTopp -- maybe THAT's how I got the beard idea?

2:38 pm

my x-ray eyes see right through your wool

2:38 pm

LOL Dr_god is in the chat room (his name has Morocco next to it...)

2:38 pm

refresh and you can see that blood I am with you man

2:39 pm

regardless, anyone who would have to have a menacing side.

2:39 pm

he must be trying to see if he can get it to work

2:39 pm

Bloodaxe! you have a flag!!!!!!!!

2:39 pm

Thank you Dr_god!

2:39 pm

yup there it is

2:39 pm

YAY!!!!!!

2:39 pm

Dr God is great!!!

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

Belated congrats to hurshy!

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

wow - there IS a god - cool -- hi everyone

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

haha..hi deb.

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

maybe we should all be ZZ Top in honor of Dr_G

2:41 pm

Hooray for Bloodaxe! Hooray for Dr God! Good morning all.

2:41 pm

hi debb!

2:41 pm

I just changed it as soon as you got your flag blood

2:41 pm

2:41 pm

thanks for the support wurdy.

2:41 pm

2:41 pm

Here, it's not a flag, but I changed my profile AND my icon...

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

2:43 pm

wow ank, and even CUTER hamster. I didn't think it was possible!

2:43 pm

12-year olds are like that -- very busy

2:43 pm

2:43 pm

very cute, ankh!

2:44 pm

*climbs up off her hamster knees*

2:44 pm

awww, come on! THe Star Trek Weapon of Choice should be a word!

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

klaurel - i was just thinking the SAME THING!!!

2:44 pm

2:45 pm

*and firefly*

2:45 pm

2:45 pm

thx hursh, i knew you'd understand :)

2:46 pm

2:51 pm

thanks again to both of you.

2:52 pm

i do wolvie. i just got it. it's brand new and shiny

2:52 pm

i dont think I have found a word in 20 min

2:52 pm

now why is "panner" not a word? like one who pa4 gold?

2:53 pm

I found two at ten min apiece... that's why I'm leaving the desk for a while! *POOF!*

2:53 pm

back to work I guess. can someone clue the ae6/21 please? I can't figure our the "gas" clue.

2:53 pm

very cool, blood. :-)

2:53 pm

my monkey's must be fasting too.

2:54 pm

I ain't comin out of the corner to comment on folk's monkeys... ;-0

2:54 pm

ae is alt spelling of et5

2:54 pm

ae clue: gas they used in olden times to put put patients in the operating room, diff. spelling , the real spelling appears in et words

2:54 pm

oh inge, don't be so judgmental

2:55 pm

*put out *

2:55 pm

is the ae spelling the real one then

2:55 pm

haha..thanks inge. I have both of them now.

2:55 pm

they are both valid.

2:55 pm

and now you've hurt the poor ae's feelings.

2:56 pm

they should appoint a babbler committee to determine final spellings!

2:56 pm

i agree that the common spelling is the et

2:56 pm

but both are valid not just in babble... babble can't just pick one...

2:57 pm

Nah, ae's are so snobbish they don't care what you say.

2:57 pm

why not? aren't we a force to be counted with???

2:57 pm

kid is okay, just exhausted from the virus, I think. *sigh* parenting and worry go hand in hand.

2:57 pm

etymologically speaking, ae is in fact the more valid

2:57 pm

I prefer the ae

2:57 pm

inge can you help me find the middle pa's? I'm missing the 4th pa5 and the 4th and 5th pa4's

2:58 pm

"common" is right -- vulgar in the latin sense! AE is prettier

2:58 pm

good to hear stid - and i agree

2:59 pm

the 4th pa 5 is what men wear, plural

2:59 pm

hetty - my 4th pa 5, and I have them all, is a pair of pa***

2:59 pm

how many Pa's does one woman need hetty? LOL

2:59 pm

pa 4: pa + snake + vowel, the other is p + cinders

2:59 pm

the 4th pa 4 is like the ph 5, just no h

3:00 pm

inge got the 5th. :-)

3:00 pm

T%he problem--if it IS a problem--is that the greek alphebet has letters diferent than those found inte Latin, and therefore i our, alphabet. "AE" is one such instance; simplifying it to "e" on the grounds of what it sounds like does an injustice to the original language

3:01 pm

brb - must take grady out - he is prancing.

3:02 pm

the problem here is that any word with ae throws me

3:03 pm

Now.How many what do I need, Stid? If they are what I'm wearing at the moment I have several pairs in my closet a well as on my word list

3:03 pm

I am waiting for my three students to tutor in German, if I suddenly am unresponsive, they are here

3:05 pm

Ive monkeyed my way into the 2 pa4's. Now--that dratted pa5/12--? The one following what I'm wearing?

3:06 pm

Does anyone have the TA6/18?

3:06 pm

hetty, the one that is a glue that young children use

3:06 pm

do you have the pa meaning thick sticky glue?

3:06 pm

or toothpa****

3:06 pm

try pluralizing what you are wearing

3:06 pm

Gotcha, thanks Minski

3:07 pm

Minski - one who ta4

3:07 pm

Got it. Thanks.

3:07 pm

ta 6: one who sitss in the sun regularly,

3:08 pm

No, sorry minski, I alread had that--it's the next pa5/12 down the list. I need the one between the "n" and the "s" pa4's

3:08 pm

here are my little sweeties, see you all later

3:09 pm

bye inge, happy tutoring

3:09 pm

bye inge

3:10 pm

pa 5 right after plural what you are wearing is glue word, then

3:10 pm

the next pa 5/12 is like holding a pa****, minus the last letter

3:11 pm

you can plural the last pa 5/12 for the last pa 6

3:12 pm

an 6/21 please

3:13 pm

like a deer's an**** only change the l to another letter mag

3:14 pm

Wolvie, our wires are crossed. I have every blessed pa except for the p4/ that follows what I am wearing and that precedes a peculiar word rhyming with "pace"--in my list anyway--

3:15 pm

Sorr --that should be pa5

3:15 pm

uhhh - hetty - I am thru with the pa's - pace (alt) directly follows what you are wearing, the one you want is a pa 4/6 I think, like a ba**, party, if you will. :-)

3:16 pm

thanks wolvie

3:16 pm

hetty -- the children's plays in England? at holidays I think...

3:16 pm

LOL -okay - the very next pa 5/12 after the thing you wear is the glue.

3:16 pm

full word ends with what marcel marceau is...

3:16 pm

that's the other one I clued, stid - earlier. those are the last 2 hetty. :-)

3:17 pm

y/w mag

3:18 pm

Thanks Wolvie, I seew the problem. It IS a pa5 I need, but the one preceding, not followng, what am wearing. Ou arev very patient, and I'm now giving up

3:19 pm

hetty -- did you see my clue? it's for the one you need!

3:19 pm

yep - the marcel one. :-)

3:20 pm

hetty - take what you wear, remove the plural, and add a vowel instead.

afternoon, all!

3:20 pm

hullo Tea!

3:21 pm

Don't forget to share the wealth when your garden is ready to pick. Just don't want any cucumbers.

5:17 pm

yw - maybe we'll get one too after we move......

5:18 pm

I like cucumbers!

5:18 pm

But will probably be mosrly tomatoes. They like to play football with fruit & vegs around here

5:19 pm

so do I, but they always grow like crazy, and you can never give away all the excess....

5:19 pm

A good tomato fight can be a good thing

5:20 pm

Plant Kirbys. You can pickle what you don't eat. They do taste just like regular cukes.

5:20 pm

I'll try some

5:20 pm

But then they sell them to you at exorbitant prices and they rot before you can eat them!

5:24 pm

And if the produce guys haven't done enough damage the checkout people throw them down the conveyor and the pack the under cans. Idiots

5:24 pm

I agree.....

5:25 pm

then

5:25 pm

I've just finished but happy to hang round & give clues for 5 minutes if anyone needs any

5:25 pm

5:29 pm

pida I have friends who moved down there from NJ and they haven't found it that way. Northeast doesn't have that problem in general. On-the-job training

5:30 pm

But the stuff is all overgrown anyway. Too big, too old and tasteless. Thats how I found the Kirbys. One id just right for 2 and spininess makes them hard to mishandle

5:31 pm

NOT sharp, just bumpy

5:32 pm

Bye everyone - have fun in whatever you are doing today/tonite

5:32 pm

right on hoot, too big, too old, and tasteless describes most of us in Fl

5:32 pm

bye lynxxx

hi, today is my first day playing, and i have a couple of questions.... in the tile stats, what does 0/0 mean (like the letter 'h' in the third spot of the first column?)

6:08 pm

mscupid, it mean that you have founr 0 or 0 words begining on that time.

I've got to re-repair a torn jacket sleeve for my ex-hubby after a so-called tailor mended it. I've seen better sewing on wounds done in battle! I shall invisibly mend it using some of my late master-tailor Grandad's thread.

6:49 pm

BA, it's the Brit word for wrench too - think of a bridge, sp4/5, and a "bridger"

6:49 pm

pida, have no idea what slang for a gun is

6:49 pm

double the final consonant bettyanne, then add the one who does it ending

6:49 pm

there's an expression - put a sp7 in the works

6:49 pm

I have that one and it's a 7/32. Am I confused?

6:50 pm

sp7/36 - if you intentionally muck something up, you throw a sp***** in the works.

6:50 pm

sp 7 is british for monkey wrench...

6:50 pm

ne+fence opening-e + not of

6:50 pm

Just read back - mama you should have gotten in touch with your local SCA group. Probably had some to lend.

6:50 pm

Sorry - sp7/32 is the word.

6:51 pm

sp7/36 is sp + P**** News + pluralling consonant.

I wondered about that hootowl, but I was too delicate to question you...

7:37 pm

hoot, I was going to say something if no one else did

7:37 pm

He came in earlier when I was watching TV and climbed up on me for a fuss... I noticed a hard bit in the middle of his head. 'Oh no! Not another battle scar!' I thought. I told Paul. 'Looks more like he's got something sticky in his fur,' he said. Then he took him into the utility to wipe said sticky stuff off... but it wasn't. The fur came away to reveal a huge hole (down to the skull) filled with pus. We thought he'd been shot with an air rifle until we found a matching hole only 1" away. It's a wound from a set of top incisors, by the look of it. Vet's for him AGAIN later!

7:38 pm

off for a bit, see you later

7:38 pm

Well I hope you are all laughing yourselves as silly as I am!:D

oh, jac - one of my cats was chomped by a dog, and over night a terrible infection developed. I'd have taken her to the vet the same day of the incident, but i couldn't see any wound. she needed surgery three times to simply remove infected tissue. she was soooo sick. But that was a bite into the muscle, hunter kitty will have less of an ordeal i expect.

glad i left air conditioners in

jerks

weboggle has free boggle, wurdy. Hi everyone. I''m back to finish

8:17 pm

hi pebbles

8:17 pm

thanks lb. did not forget about the ginger jam, have missplaced the recipe. I am sure I will find it soon, have been decluttering

8:17 pm

hey thanks guys

8:17 pm

games.com was bought out by aol...it has been moved to that site i liked you to!

8:18 pm

err, i "linked" you to!

8:18 pm

wurdy - you can play WebBoggle as 'Team Babble' (so your scores join up with ours) at http://weboggle.shackworks.com/ (Go for the 5x5 grid).

wurdy - seriously? i used to play mille borne there until they "improved" the site & took it away

8:19 pm

peri - grhubarb & ginger jam is fab! Will put the recipe in BabAnon soon.

8:19 pm

*rhubarb. LOL.

8:19 pm

Pebbles, i love your bio!

8:19 pm

so into boggle it is not crazy...i don't even let my kids win

feather - well in that case, everyone go to games.com & pay them - i have lots of twx stock

8:19 pm

Jacula, never tasted rhubard

time-warner - had it since before the warner

8:19 pm

lol helen!

8:20 pm

so, scrabble anyone?

8:20 pm

rhubarb :)

feather - are you done with the grid?

I started babble to get better at WEBoggle, but now i like this better. Hubby still plays WEB. How do you do the team thing, Jacula?

8:20 pm

peri - well don't try eating it raw unless you slop lots of sugar on it first.

8:20 pm

hee, didn't do today's grid. i'm on a diet...only grids under 100 words on weekdays.

thank you, lbdawg!

8:21 pm

8:22 pm

nevermind, its like the Chrismas guy but with an o at the end

8:23 pm

to 6/18 last one

8:23 pm

pebbles - I prefer the team thing to playing alone! dislike the lack of chat in there though. Also, the site is case sensitive to the team name... so, I might go in as Team Babble only to find 'team babble' in there. So I sign in again to unite our scores. Thing is, I have no idea what other Babblers I am playing with. I have asked in BabAnon, btw, and here on the chatlog.

8:23 pm

Angb from Australia was here though.

8:35 pm

Hi natasha

8:36 pm

thanks so much lbd, new word for me

8:36 pm

no Jac-we've never played WebBoggle....sounds rather intimidating

8:36 pm

last pa6/21 please

8:37 pm

pa5/14 please

8:37 pm

peri, plural the pa5/12 before it

i played webboggle - if you like that game, a better one just like it is tangleword at iwin.com

8:37 pm

plural again peri.

jacs, i've been playing word racer on yahoo - have you ever played?

hi helen

it's better cause it has chat like here, nice people (mostly) like here, ability to rotate grid for different perspectives & different time-length rooms

hey to!

8:38 pm

Eva - it's not a bit intimidating if you sign in under (and note the spelling as the site is case sensitive... ) 'Team Babble'. We can whop the rest of them easily! You even get a list of what words you got that no one else did. Babblers are great at doing that! Wonder why? LOL.

8:38 pm

lb, don't have that pa5/12

webbogle is bare-bones, i didn't much like it

jacula - are you saying that there are multiple players playing under the same name at the same time?

8:39 pm

th8 please?

8:40 pm

last 2 words, last pa5/12 and the pa6/21 right after it pretty please

8:40 pm

To - Not tried that game yet, no. Have been playing Wordf Mojo on grab.com. Harder than it first appears, especially as it has a US dictionary and doesn't recognise Babble's 'Enable' dictionary words.

8:40 pm

peri, another word for head *usually bald* then add hump letter

8:41 pm

thatnks so much, lbd, you are the best, got my FIREWORKS

8:41 pm

Well done, Peri!

folks, I really struggle with long words in this game, I do have a hard time finding them, is there a tactic for locating the bigger words??

i read the chat log, all the way back to the start

jac - i do take them in over winter - the mirrory-ness is going - from the top down -

8:54 pm

well...53 left here, but too tired to continue...nite everyone...tks for the clues

jac - on the inside! - at first i thought it was from the rain

8:54 pm

Night Cathy

8:55 pm

colhad-sometimes they just pop out early in the game, but a lot of the time if you go for the shorter words first then the patterns appear for the longer ones and teh are often compounds made up of the shorter ones too. And, as Sheryl said, you can alwasy get inspiration from the brilliant clues of others

8:55 pm

Hell - it's the rain and damp that does that to them.

8:56 pm

I mean, I read lickety's, I try a lot of words, you think you've tried every possible word, and still can't get it

just finished fireworks for me

8:56 pm

Hell - how long have you had yours? I've had mine about 5 years now.

col just keep at it

8:56 pm

ok, i'm going crazy--can't figure out the ha4/6 either before or after the breakfast food

when i first started i had a hard time finding the bigger words too

are you using the list?

use morewords or a to z for extra help with the big ones

8:57 pm

To - if you are still around - I've signed into BabAnon now. You can message me.

does anyone want a clue before i go?

8:57 pm

yeh, using Licketey's

then use morewords.com and look up the word that way

the list is alphbetic so you can usually figure out the thrid letter that way

8:58 pm

mayha* you don't figure out the word after the breakfast word, Natasha. Add an 's' for the word.

jacula - seriously - the big ones go after 1 summer - i like green, silver & gold ones & at the end of the season they're transparent! this year i got a couple of smaller one - they seem to be holding up better

8:59 pm

et 5/12? Can't seem to find it!

8:59 pm

ha 4/6 ha + what you put at the end of a letter, when you think of something else to say

8:59 pm

Natasha, Perh*** it was overlooked?

well folks happy hunting off to bed, ty for the clues

8:59 pm

ha 4/6 hell ha** no fury......

8:59 pm

I haver 3 smallish silver ones, Hell.

8:59 pm

lol, thanks lb--I'd actually just figured it out

9:00 pm

suffering from premature clue requesting...

9:00 pm

et 5/12 kind of gas

9:00 pm

hi all! Colhad, did anyone answer your question about long words?

9:00 pm

good night Sheryl

9:00 pm

9:02 pm

Finished those fancy dress costumes now?

9:02 pm

good night Eva

9:02 pm

Night Eva & Merp.xx

9:02 pm

sorry for that sloppy parting shot. Merp says goodnight too-or would if he could stop snoring for long enough

9:03 pm

LOL, Eva. Tell him to wish my hunting cat good luck re his visit to vet later re to straight to skull wounds full of pus.

9:03 pm

Not finished, but done enough that I have taken a couple pics. Need to make sp5 for the tops of his shoes and add trim to a pair of dress pants to finish.

anyone have the sn5/12 6/21 combo? Not sure which one.

aw eva i miss my kitties....have a good night and see you tomorrow

9:04 pm

*two wounds

9:04 pm

So, a bite, not a shooting, hopefully. Might be a cat or, more likely a dog, that got him.

9:04 pm

sounds like something he was attacking gave him a good fight, eh Jac?

9:05 pm

Hi Stid

9:05 pm

Eva - his good fights are costing me a fortune!

9:05 pm

Tom is trying to find batteries so I can transfer the pics and put them up for viewing...

9:05 pm

cool beans Stid

9:06 pm

SN 5/12 that was weird for me is s + n** king cole + aitch

ah i see we have fish in this grid

9:06 pm

I know-my last cat was quite a huntress and was constantly getting abcesses from rodent bites. Very expensive

I got that one stid, but thanks.

9:07 pm

sn 5/12 s + tide, then plural, or sn + I'd r***er be babbling then talking

It's the other that's giving me trouble

9:07 pm

There are definitely some advantages to having an indoor cat. My next door neighbor has had two cats eaten this past year

9:07 pm

Ea - this is no rodent bite! The squirrel bite to the tail cost 80 quid (British pounds). This is a severe bite to the skull from to big incisors (1" apart).

9:08 pm

Yikes! Tell him to pick on something his own size next time.

I'm stuck - en 8/50?

9:10 pm

snppng, try sn**king around, but change the last consonant

got it, thanks pida

9:10 pm

Eva - my indoor cat never troubles me, other than having a Persian belly (pukes or gets the trots if the slightest thing upsets her) and short legs, so brings most of the litter out of the box when she tries to run away from the 'disgusting thing/s' that have just appeared in the litter box behind her.

9:10 pm

wow! poor hunter cat.

9:10 pm

can someone clue the ne7/36?

9:10 pm

en 8 Put your sword back in the scabbard, or a simple black dress

9:10 pm

mab - Yes. I'll get him sorted out soon.

thanks, pida!

9:11 pm

that must have been a big animal!

9:11 pm

jac-LOL-Merp often does the same mad dash away from the litter box....

9:11 pm

Meanwhile, mab, we have got all the pus out and bathed the abcess with salt water.

9:12 pm

natasha, first four letters of another word for minus sign plus 2000 pounds

9:13 pm

that sounds good. I was going to suggest hydrogen pyroxide, but I realized you have experience with this.

9:13 pm

thanks lb

9:13 pm

Eva - that's why I prefer the white litter stuff - you can see it immediately whem it's strewn around. I must sweep up at least 8 times a day!
