ren, did you do yestrday's grid?

12:15 am

almost the same gap as mine TnC, 27 months for us.

12:15 am

my brother and i are 16 months apart - and he's my best buddy

12:15 am

(even if i do tell everyone that he's older than me)

12:15 am

ha8 and ha9..... you better get out your zoology books

12:15 am

that's cool debb!

12:15 am

ah tea, you should try 2 hours apart!

12:15 am

hi mrp!

12:16 am

I don't have any mrp

it is actually getting better as they are getting older - I can't wait until they get older and become more compassionate

12:16 am

my next youngest sister is 14 months younger than me and we couldn't be more different.

twins, eh?

hi mr p

12:16 am

I mean nat?

12:17 am

Mr. P, will you clue the ha's in your profile as yesterday?

12:18 am

this is #3 and 4 for her - somewhat unexpected but she is getting her head around it

12:20 am

oh my, I can't image twins with other kids. Of course it can be done! How old are her first 2?

12:35 am

hiya sprite

12:35 am

12:35 am

Argh... well, I was prepared. After yesterday's grid, today's had to be less beautiful. But a K? Grrrrrr.

hi sprtie : )

12:35 am

and you can click to see the word list from there too.

ren you are in the grid today

12:36 am

hi sprite and anyone else who came in that I missed

12:36 am

not just A K sprite, thirteen of them!

12:36 am

hahahaha - i'm a zero though... in the grid

12:36 am

I looked at the K tile. 13???????

12:36 am

and i only have 5 so far

12:37 am

Archives where is that?

12:37 am

omg... you only found 5? How am I supposed to find them then? I stink at Ks. Ah well... enough of that. Time to dig in and get them out of the way! ;)

12:37 am

there is a link above the chatterbox manjari.

12:37 am

look up manjari

12:38 am

uf sorry.... yeah i got that...

12:38 am

12:38 am

I think karcet looks like a perfectly valid word.

12:39 am

katlike kreature too

12:40 am

I have six k's...

12:41 am

I have 4 k 4's -- that's it!

12:41 am

Hi all - phantom word anteater

12:41 am

Ok Fran, I am with you, 7 so far. Am I getting better at this or are you sending them to my Borgbrain?

12:41 am

dear ME, MrP, what IS that thang? I will go look it up, thank you.

12:42 am

hi ang!

12:42 am

Well, think greek spellings for a couple of them

12:42 am

ooh, ang, you're right

12:42 am

let's compare an4/9, i have japanese writing, ka4/8 citizen ka** go-ka** kublai kh** kitty kh** etti kh** and plural

12:42 am

i've googled more about lizards then i ever cared to see and i still didn't get those h's

12:42 am

hi angb!

12:42 am

"katana" was not found???

12:42 am

airtank should be allowed!!

12:42 am

And think of a drug you chew for a couple of them (varying vowels in middle)

12:43 am

ooh, 8 now

12:43 am

I still think tetris should be a word!

12:43 am

did you take off the last two letters sprite?

12:43 am

My son is outside and cleaning my car with all the house's flannels and his water pistol LOL

12:43 am

*agrees with nan*

12:43 am

that should keep him busy angb!

12:44 am

*agrees with sprite about katana*

12:44 am

Yeah, got that one. But I really really want the japanese swords plural as well... I would have found a K7 all by myself if it had been valid!

12:44 am

we have the same k's, Fran

12:44 am

darn nan, i was hoping to get some new ones.

12:45 am

phantom: anther

12:45 am

Fran, you need these two, and think greek spelling: asteroids land in kr*****.

12:45 am

I don't get some of the clues, so I am not sure we have the same ones :)

12:45 am

thanks, ankh

12:46 am

Well, I have 8 K's.

12:46 am

Thanks Ankh!

12:46 am

darn, how do I get a second line without sending?

12:46 am

I have 9 now. You guys are the best.

12:46 am

there is a k 5/22 ending in the last two letters of an ni 5/12

12:46 am

Shift - enter, Ankh.

12:47 am

Oh dear... 10! Plural to the one Ankh just gave me.

debb - copy mrp's whole description and google that

12:48 am

thanks an4/9!

12:48 am

Citizen ka*, go-ka*, half a Japanese sword ka**, Kublia kh*, drug which is kh** AND kh*t, and kr6 +s. Thanks, Sprite.

12:48 am

i have 10 out of thirteen now

i don't get the drug one?

12:49 am

Tea, thanks, got the ha's now.

12:49 am

Tea, sounds like household feline.

12:49 am

an4/9, you need ka4/8 before citizen ka**, change last vowel

12:49 am

I have a kn4/8 as well.

12:49 am

thanks sprite

thank you

12:50 am

11 out of thirteen

12:50 am

Still at 10.

12:50 am

Joey, I don't have the k you do... hmm... Fran, thank you Sprite, kn4/8 ?

12:51 am

Yes, An4! Ends in first 2 letters of form of to be.

I have what Fran has

thanks for all the clues!

12:51 am

ankh, it is a kh

12:51 am

Hup, got the kn4/8 txs!

12:51 am

Joey, I don't have the ni5/22

12:52 am

Looking for joey's k5/22 now.

12:52 am

it is the one after eighth

12:52 am

Oh! tx, Joey!

kh 7/48

12:53 am

I have kh5/20, plural to one of the 4s. Is there a K8?

12:53 am

ka4/8 - japanese writing ka4/8 - citizen ka** ka4/8 - go-ka** ka4/8 - ka**na (sword) kh4/9 - kublai kh** kh4/9 - kitty kh** kh4/9 - etti kh** (change vowel of previous one) kh5/20 - plural of the 4/9 kn4/8 - think not near kr6 - impact kr**** kr7/44 - plural

12:54 am

Yeah, Fran, that's all I've got too

k7 - what genghis **** *** for dinner last night

12:55 am

I miss the Kh7/48 TnC mentions and if there is a 8, I am missing that too.

12:55 am

joey, where does yours fit in? i don't have the list yet.

12:55 am

awesome TnC!

12:55 am

Great clue!

the other kh is the plural kh said by someone that has a lisp

12:55 am

it is a kh and there is no definition

12:55 am

thanx for that clue teanC

12:55 am

I have it! kh*** ! but it's not in the dictionary, and it IS in merriam-webster only if I pay to find out.

12:56 am

Joey, may I clue it further, would you mind?

12:56 am

not at all, go ahead

12:56 am

just got it!

ankh - did I just clue it at 12:55?

12:56 am

please do, it is the last K!

12:56 am

Rhymes with a popular illegal drug, crystal me**

12:56 am

i'm done with Ks!!!

yep - just two differnt ways!

12:57 am

thanks TnC, your clue worked for me

12:57 am

Tea, I'm not sure! :) I don't understand your clue.

12:57 am

1:00 am

1:00 am

Sprite, 5/22 is the pesty one that rhymes with crystal me**

1:00 am

Tea, sweet dreams!

1:00 am

dh4/10 is a strange one

1:01 am

you need another kh joey!

1:01 am

You are the very very best... that finishes the Ks for me :D

1:01 am

1:01 am

Dh features the letter that drives me bananas

1:27 am

Nore the person giving clues

1:27 am

Some of the hi4/4s are getting a little in 5/10

1:27 am

2:24 am

*and

2:25 am

Oh, I see - and I don't blame you!

2:26 am

2:29 am

It certainly will be jilli!

2:30 am

2:31 am

Sorry, I haven't a clue ;)

2:31 am

ty.

2:36 am

cr 8 starts with the berry, then a vowel, then the past tense of eat

2:36 am

cr8 - related to the skull

2:37 am

i have 76 to go and have hit the wall. nite all and good luck

2:38 am

2:39 am

nite joey. ty for the clues.

2:39 am

Morning Babblers. Is it just me or is this a sticky grid today?

2:39 am

2:48 am

Trannie isn't recognised either - we all had our trannies in the 60s. Oh dear how old do I sound!

2:48 am

2:56 am

Evening all. How is everyone doing. Been at this awhile and am up to 158. If I can clue anyone, I will. Does anyone have thesa8,40 or the st8,40?

2:57 am

3:18 am

Haz to the rescue! Good morning.

3:18 am

3:18 am

hi haz!

3:18 am

and th5s!

3:18 am

yw Fran :)

3:18 am

It was in the grid yesterday - that's why it was fresh in my mind. Or as fresh as my mind can be after a 306 grid!

3:19 am

Thanks sherb. That finishes my eights

3:19 am

Hello to all the greeters!

3:19 am

haz, i didn't even finish yesterday, i didn't have time in the morning and then i played scrabble in the afternoon and didn't get to it!!

3:19 am

There are a number of repeat words and some standard babblets too, not that I have found 1/2 of them yet.

3:20 am

Hello Haz. As soon as you clued I knew what it was. Didn't even have to look. We just had it.

3:20 am

It was a strange grid yestereay - lots of nice words and some absolutely weird ones from another planet.

3:21 am

today's in tough... :(

3:21 am

ta 8/40 - starts with scottish plaid. Add first vowel and plural

3:21 am

It's funny - when anybody asks for ha5/12 I automatically think haole.

3:21 am

lol me too Haz!

3:22 am

Did you finish last night, Atalante?

3:22 am

nope, just ran out of time

3:22 am

Did you make it to the end Haz? Morning Ata

3:23 am

how come you can be a miscreant, but not a creant?

3:23 am

Yes I did, FMitch - and got the winter pots planted up. Tidying no2''s daughter's room was done, but it needs more attention.

3:24 am

85 to go. I'm off to bed. Nite all

3:24 am

night mkl!

3:24 am

wow, well done Haz, buzy day all round!

3:24 am

Good night mkl.

3:25 am

*buzy? busy

3:25 am

It was quite funny being on and off the site yesterday - everybody being so excited about the co12 word.

3:25 am

wow Haz :)

3:26 am

haz, was it corse? i didn't finish, so i don't know if there was another.

3:27 am

Yes it was corse - he was born in Corsica, so if asked where he came from he could say 'Je suis corse'

3:27 am

ah, now i get how it's related to your icon.

3:28 am

and don't worry, i see spangles in your profile, your small icon is still napoleon for me.

3:28 am

Eduction in an icon!

3:28 am

Education even!

'night/morning/etc. all. brain-fry taking over, think i"m heading to bed early today have a great day/morning/evening or other arbitrary time unit designation of your choosing.

3:51 am

Morning all....Fran any chance of clues to KR7 and KH7 please?

3:51 am

I'll be interested to find out as well, sherb.

3:51 am

In Aust its slang for trousers - the count is 4.10 - odd one

3:51 am

kr7 is alt spelling of the cr7

3:52 am

Thanks lynxx.

3:52 am

3:52 am

TY Fran

3:52 am

3:53 am

mmmahhhh - got to say TY or TH5.20 today

3:53 am

3:53 am

i can't take credit for it, it was TeaNCrackers' clue

3:53 am

Lol....I doubt it!!

3:53 am

Fran - just been doing QP - 3 stars yesterday! Well done.

3:54 am

4:02 am

Mornin' All

4:02 am

we expect you to have found all the toughies by the time we get back... :)

4:03 am

I'll do what I can, sherb!

4:03 am

Good morning Odin.

4:04 am

Hey Haz...another good size grid, eh?

4:04 am

Yes - after yesterday's I was kind of hoping for smaller, but you work with what you've got.

4:04 am

Hi Odin

4:05 am

There are quite a few repeats from yesterday's as wel.

4:05 am

I too was inhopes of a wee one but alas I will be on this for hours...seems I can't wrap my head around them on Saturdays.

4:06 am

Saw many repeats...still were fairly fresh in my feeble brain and I looked at them as a gift!

4:06 am

Hey Angb

4:06 am

Well, if it's of any help, sherb has already pointed out that Kant and Sartre are not acceptable. Seems fair to me...

4:06 am

and to me also...

4:07 am

Must admit I tried kant so time ago to no avail!

4:07 am

You lose no points for trying!

4:08 am

Then I am getting points left and right because I make 'em up as I go...

Morning! Happy Saturday. How's the grid today?

4:12 am

Hi matty

4:13 am

Good morning matty - the grid is okay(ish). I'm still in the early stages (104) and I suspect it'll get nastier towards the end.

4:14 am

can you imagine if you lost points for an unaccepted word

4:14 am

Mornin' Matty

4:15 am

I would be in serious trouble Ata!

Ata - bit your tongue woman!

4:15 am

We're not going to think about that one - it's on the banned list of thought subjects, along with 600+ grids.

4:15 am

LOL :)

So what should I know about today's puzzle - is the nine a real word!

4:16 am

You'd probably have to rename it Iron Babble and only allow people to play it who could produce a certificate of mental health from their doctor.

4:16 am

lol yes!

4:17 am

The site would be funded from sponsorship from drug companies advertising tranquilisers.

4:18 am

hey everyone :)

4:18 am

Hey jazi

4:18 am

Hello jazi.

4:20 am

time to try and re-wake up my brain

4:21 am

This grid will either wake it up or fry it

4:22 am

hopefully wake :)

4:22 am

agreed

4:23 am

The Russian royalty is back, though not quite in such numbers as yesterday.

4:24 am

I noticed too Haz

4:24 am

I noticed-decided to keep icon

4:25 am

good chance lib

4:25 am

ty, odin :)

4:25 am

good choice ... sorry

4:25 am

you can see what this grid has done to my brain in only a short time!

4:26 am

:D I know...

4:27 am

hi everyone, how many word today

4:27 am

249 Beast

4:27 am

sanity is a phantom (in the grid)

4:27 am

ok, that's quite a few, thanks haz

4:27 am

Hey Beast

Hi beast

cent

SORRY

4:29 am

the only ce 4 matty

4:29 am

hi odin & matty, how are you all today

4:29 am

Excellent Beast...you?

Well thanks - we're off to the ideal home exhibition later

4:30 am

had my daughter's 5th birthday party today, it was fantastic

4:31 am

wizard of oz theme, I go very over the top, but everything went perfectly

4:31 am

That's great Beast...over the top is the best!

4:32 am

i suppose the only problem was that I spent far too much money

4:33 am

Ah, but aren't the wee ones worth it! It's only money ;]

4:34 am

Take my advice and save every penny for their education (bitter and twisted having put one daughter through university with second daughter still there)

4:35 am

I agree I'd rather make it a wonderful day for her to remember.

4:35 am

In Aus we have a pay later sort of system for uni and very cheap education generally

4:36 am

I too have spent the fortune on higher education for two...but there is something magical about birthdays at age 5.

4:36 am

Its the quickest way to insolvency and insanity I've found Haz

4:37 am

The system in the UK is that students can apply for loans that can then be repaid once they start working. But it isn't enough and so parents have to top up. I don't begrudge it really, but it costs a lot!

4:38 am

We have a pre-paid college fund in Florida which also works if a child attends college out of the state.

4:38 am

In Aust. the student pay part of their educ. costs once they earn above a threshhold. Private school can be very expensive for parents.

4:39 am

I hope the system we have lasts, but who knows what it will be like by the time my daughter gets there.

4:39 am

Worth every penny - you can't get far without that piece of paper! Still we have the excitement of the degree ceremony for our son next month.

4:39 am

or my granddaughter!

4:39 am

fantastic, congratulations

4:39 am

Congrats JFB

4:39 am

My daughter graduated in July and it was a wonderful day - hope you have a good time, JFB!

4:40 am

thank you!

4:40 am

is that who the pic is of, she's beautiful

4:40 am

yep! Thanks!

4:41 am

Managed to get him through without too much debt - thats why I'm working harder than I've ever done before.

My daughter's in year 11 - we have it all to come!

Anyone care to clue the nine?

4:42 am

I've put up a pic of our graduation - the smiles are of relief!

4:42 am

im still in high school .. graduating in 5 weeks though :D ..

4:43 am

I don't have the 9 yet, matty - do you know what it starts with?

Nope...

4:43 am

jazi, that's fantastic good luck with any exams

4:43 am

It starts with ha Haz

4:43 am

Haz the pride is pretty obvious too - she's not just clever but lovely too

4:44 am

Thanks JFB! She's now a primary school teacher, teaching P1 and loving it.

4:44 am

:) thankss!

4:45 am

haz, have you seen this? http://www.animalbloodregister.com/

4:47 am

I'll have a look, Atalante. We once used our first dog, Polka the dalmatian to give a blood transfusion in the surgery. It was 'interesting'.

4:48 am

I can imagine! the dog on the front page is my husband's sister's dog, Molly! Sister and husband did the website for them :)

4:49 am

I hadn't realised there was a national register. It would probably only work for the mainland, though.

4:51 am

Anyway, this isn't getting me any closer to getting to the shops! I'd better go and will return to find the remaining words later. Have a good day al!

4:51 am

Later Haz

4:51 am

Bye Haz

See ya Haz

4:51 am

cya haz :)

4:52 am

bye haz :)

Does anyone have the nine?

4:56 am

Yep

Can I have a clue please? :D

4:57 am

It's a New Zealand lizard - it's proper name.

4:57 am

ha 9/60

4:57 am

plural of he 8/45

4:57 am

In fact the 9 is the plural

4:57 am

4:58 am

It's popular name is tuatara!

4:58 am

4:58 am

*chapeau

Thanks guys (and thank you to the One Look reverse dictionary)

Why can't we have trannie!

test

5:17 am

Last night all the flying bugs decided to hatch - I was coming home getting covered in them. About 3cm long flying and goes gooey when it hits a moving object.

6:27 am

7:10 am

thanks une

mirfain: they are giving clues. for instance ai4/4 means a 4 letter word that begins with the letters ai, and is 4 points.

7:12 am

What is with all the 5/12 etc? Not sure what I am supposed to get! As I said a bit think in my old age!

7:13 am

Ah!

the 5 is number of letters, 12 the number of points for each word in the grid

7:13 am

I have a 28 point word is that good?

28 is pretty good yeah :D

9:05 am

hydra look in the bottom left corner

9:05 am

hi charm :)

9:06 am

hydra - add the vowel to the painter, not the maths term... :)

9:06 am

hydra, it would be a french artist

9:06 am

Just noticed I've got 2 ar 7/28 words and neither has a math term in it. I must have got my wires crossed somewhere.

9:07 am

I would suggest coffee, hydra, but you might never get to sleep later ....

9:07 am

Thanks for your help, everyone. I'll try the h's now.

9:08 am

I'm stuck on a cr7/32. Not the volcano or bomb one

9:26 am

sherb - have you finished the grid yet?

9:28 am

66 still to go... and I've resorted to the list...

9:29 am

In the words of the great philosopher 'You know it makes sense' - I'm just filling in mine!

9:29 am

but I have been shopping, and baked a ginger cake, and wrapped some presents... *wonders if that's enough excuses*...

9:29 am

Please tell me they aren't Christmas presents.

9:30 am

hahaha :D ...no, birthday presents for my five year old goddaughter...

9:31 am

What a relief! It's disconcerting to see that Tesco's have got their Christmas comestibles out on display. Except for the brussels sprouts. No brussel sprout mountain just yet.

9:32 am

good morning babblers, I am confused. The grid will not accept my as 7/28 word which builds on the flower , even though it is in More Words Dictionary. Any help?

9:32 am

I'm thiking of doing most of my shopping on line this year... I can get it delivered to the office...

9:33 am

It happens sometimes, inge. For instance, last week dongle was in the grid, and in the dictionary, but was not accepted.

9:34 am

can you give me a clue then, where I need to go with that as 7?

9:34 am

as7 - idiotic

9:35 am

Thanks sherb!

9:37 am

9:41 am

Shabbat Shalom Bichon

Yofi. Lots to talk about, I bet.

9:49 am

khet

9:50 am

We're going to be grandparents at the end of the year and she already has 4!

9:51 am

Grandparenting is the best thing every-- the greatest return on the investment in your own kids!

9:53 am

The only downside for is they live in San Francisco

9:56 am

We have four grandchildren in Israel and one in the States. Much harder to maintain a good relationship at long distance.

9:58 am

I really unhappy about it. they're not leaving the Bay Area and we can't afford to live there. We do have ample vacations and frequent flyer miles

*stretch*

10:07 am

could i have a clue for the ar7/28 please

10:10 am

there are 2, ursh... one is a type of sandstone... and the other is a public performer...

10:10 am

10:11 am

there is another 7/28....foolish

10:12 am

Good morning Babblers. Didn't we have many of the same words on yesterday's grid?

10:12 am

Very cool flag, Ursh. Aren't the colors for your athletic teams yellow and green?

10:13 am

they are scrabbler - old springbok team colours this is the new flag

10:23 am

ooer - where the timer says '13+ hours left' it just said 'less than 1 minute left' - strange

10:24 am

how odd!

10:25 am

i thought so too - though a different grid would have been welcomed here, today i'm struggling (more than usual) :)

10:25 am

morning Scrabbler, yes at lot of the same words, especially the r's so far

10:26 am

i'm struggling too, fishbulb

10:29 am

10:40 am

LOL no, klaurel, I don't have to -- though I see a whole bunch of babblets already....

10:41 am

looked to me like MVA left and it stopped everyone!

10:41 am

OK, it sounds like someone has sent one of their monkeys too far - call it back please. bad monkey.

10:42 am

Too busy searching for words to chat

10:42 am

phone...

10:44 am

Found a Middle-east food delicacy -- ta 6/21

10:45 am

10:49 am

10:50 am

10:50 am

hey there hursy - nice greeting :)

10:50 am

hello hursh-a-roo! did you know ursh went pro?

10:50 am

ummm hursHy - typo *blush

10:50 am

oh no i couldn't, we aren't all on the east coast.

10:50 am

yes, i did see that stid

10:50 am

10:50 am

Morning Hursh, What about Canadians?

10:50 am

10:51 am

(aren't you technically in America too, dear hetty?)

10:51 am

help!!! ta6-18 3rd one please

10:52 am

hetty -- see the pic? that's grant on stidmatt's lap -- I think it was actually taken during the period that he was slightly bigger than his elder brother!

10:52 am

Hi Stid, Hursh, et al

10:52 am

sorry pask - still on a's - monster grid or what?

10:52 am

pask... how many are there?

10:53 am

6 i think

10:53 am

iyaa ppl

10:53 am

hmmm

10:53 am

how was sukkot, ARB, was there lots of great food? I know the local bagel store makes special challah for it.

10:53 am

Yup. geographically we are. But ethnically (is that a word?) we spend half our time convincing Brits we are NOT American and the other half convincing Americans we are NOT Brits

10:54 am

ethnically is a word.

10:54 am

iyaaa hetty

10:54 am

no wonder I was confused when I was up there! ROFL.... I just thought people was people!

10:54 am

You're supposed to be politically correct and assure everyone that there is nothing wrong with being either American or British, you just happen to be Canadian!

10:55 am

who is from liverpool?

10:55 am

And Hetty, don't forget the Two Solitudes.

10:55 am

And Hetty, don't forget the Two Solitudes.

10:55 am

here

10:55 am

Hello all

10:55 am

How did i burp???

10:55 am

Sukkot was great. This morning our rabbi unscrolled an entire Tora scroll for everyone to ooh and aah at -- first time most of us have had a really good look at it.

10:56 am

kate

10:56 am

pask - i only have five, but my third one is a plaid.

10:57 am

cool, ARB -- was it illuminated, or are Torah scrolls too serious for that? *demonstrating huge gaps in knowledge here*

10:57 am

Hi Stid--are you still there?

10:57 am

sorry, had to step away, had to sell 135 worth of popcorn

10:58 am

hi Scrabbler, what word on family?

10:58 am

mmm, i want popcorn!

10:58 am

Not illuminated. Hand written, according to a strict format set down a couple of thousands years ago.

10:58 am

iyaa ppl :p

10:58 am

My sister, Lisa is here, with Peter and Jonathan. We still have not reached my parents. Jason is at a friend's house. I showed Lisa the pics of young Matt and Grant.

10:58 am

hi babblers

10:58 am

Of course, Swmbo, living on the West Coast it's easy to forget the French fact, much as we love our compatriots. Don't think our American and Brit brothers are too famikliar with our history though

10:59 am

but hebrew is so pretty to look at without illuminating. I bet it was just awesome! so glad you got a chance to see it.

10:59 am

11:00 am

11:01 am

Oh! Hi Lisa! Tom's right here, I'll have him log in so he can say hi on his own.

11:09 am

ta*** tots

11:09 am

Wow, it's only 18.5 in my house! LOL glad it's nice weather for you.

11:09 am

11:10 am

stidhat's online... say "hello" all!

11:10 am

Hello All! or Hello Stidhat

11:10 am

Hi stidhat

11:10 am

18 C is great for mid-October here in NS

11:10 am

Hi Dad!

11:10 am

we are going to install insulation in the office and then we can put up the wallboard! :-) and then I can move back the big desk that's in the entry...

11:10 am

got that one pida

11:10 am

LOL smazing!

11:11 am

It's Lisa--pretty scary at my house. Trees that are 60 feet tall are broken into pieces! My 16-year son Jason is the only one not with us. He is at his girlfriend's house in suburb near my house. All phones are out and without elecricity there is no way to charge cell phones. So I can only hope he is OK.

11:12 am

wow scrabbler. I saw it on the news about buffalo. Is that the area you are in?

11:12 am

oh man, Lisa! that stinks. I would be a nervous wreck. So glad you could get to Scrabblers at least.

11:12 am

Hello all, got started on the puzzle.

11:12 am

this is how we hug: {{{{{Lisa}}}}}

11:12 am

go stidhat go!

11:12 am

I am not sure how one hangs insulation up in the rafters of an airplane hanger, but it will be an interesting challange.

11:13 am

Go STIDHAT!

11:13 am

Take care Lisa. HOpe things melt fast. I am being summoned.

11:13 am

bye all.

11:13 am

Lynda is south of Buffalo in the ski country. Lisa is up is up in the heart of the damage in the suburbs--that's why I drove down to Lynda's. We may have no electricity up at my house (Lisa) for a week!

11:13 am

lots of glue, smazing? LOL at least the ceiling insulation was installed already from above. Makes it easier.

11:13 am

have a good day, smazing!

11:14 am

wow. That's why we got a generator when we moved in... though it never gets as cold here as there, I didn't want to go without heat for an instant!

11:14 am

My Mom was telling me that, and that your Dad isn't able to drive his car anywhere!

11:15 am

I have another acquaintance (email list) near your home home Lisa who wrote last night that a big limb broke off a tree near her church and it broke some of the stained glass. Sounds like there will be a lot of cleaning up.

11:15 am

All this talk of snow and cold...makes me realize how glad I am to be in California, now. Stay safe, all!

11:16 am

stidhat says the old record for snowfall this time of year was 6"...

11:16 am

LOL Bash! I hear you!

11:16 am

My parents are home with our brother Glenn. I havn't been able to talk to them, but my Dad is onw of those take charge and keep everyone calm kind of guys--so I'm sure he is keeping my mother calm.

11:17 am

good. I think they'll be okay. It's the really frail people I worry about in situations like this. Sounds like even emergency services aren't getting through.

11:17 am

Gotta run, BBL...

11:53 am

did he put you up to that, TO?

11:54 am

Morning everyone. Just have a minute before I have to run. Could someone clue the ar7,28?

11:54 am

8 t words. since i have so many 6's now, and i only need 3 more 4 letter words total, i am assuming i need some 5's and/or 7's

why hurshy...why would you think a thing like that of our tor?

11:54 am

like ar6, but frenchified, mkl

11:55 am

cause, as he continually points out, he is an IMP

11:55 am

I don't have either of the ar6 yet

11:55 am

ar7/28 - ends with the american rendition of the opposite of day, add a vowel, or ar7/28 female creative person

i liked him better as a sof

11:55 am

ar 7/28 i am he is we ___ + late evening

11:55 am

hurshy...frenchified???....made me think of french fries...lunch time now...bye all

ar6 painter, ar6 ar + trig function

11:57 am

I'd help Grim but don't have it yet!

ta6/18 cheimical used to cure leather?

11:58 am

3rd ta6/18 is person who treats leather (4th is what he treats it with, sounds like biff's last name in back to the future)

11:58 am

the last ta7/28 i have is a plural... is there another after that?

11:58 am

got the six thanks now i need the seven.

11:58 am

The last ta7/28 goes along with rags to describe a scarecrow's clothes.

ok hursh - what's between the tapeworm and the person who treats leather?

11:59 am

thanks everyone!

11:59 am

it's to do with a celtic cult, according to the dictionary, but it looks like a person who lays out in the sun?

11:59 am

not cult, tribe, is what i meant, i think

12:00 pm

i forgot what i read already.

12:00 pm

the successor apparent to a Celtic chief, usually the oldest or worthiest of his kin, chosen by election among the tribe during the chief's lifetime.

12:00 pm

speaking of inkblots, isn't that beggin' strips commercial the dumbest one ever? the dog looks at an inkblot, says, "BACON!", looks at another inkblot, says, "BACON!", looks at a pic of beggin' strips and says "BACON!", and then the slogan goes "beggin' strips: dogs don't know it's not bacon" and i go, so what? apparently they don't know ANYTHING is not bacon!

usually I get by with just printing out the printable clues, then when I am stuck with several words with same first two letters (today it was ta and te) I rint out the list with the boxes to fill in

I always just beg!

3:24 pm

ra7,28? Probably the plural of the one before it?

5:41 pm

daisy, fancy way to say one who paints (add a vowel to the regular one)

5:41 pm

i do gail!

oh ok Fran...thanks

5:42 pm

et7/28: e + crochet lace + an adjective ending for someone who is something or does something.

5:42 pm

scrabbler, that was the ar7/28 i clued for daisy

5:42 pm

as + 3rd vowel + # after 8

5:42 pm

or, the first 4 letters of et7/28 are french for state.

5:43 pm

or et + ar6/18 minus the r

5:43 pm

[dives back into the K words]

5:43 pm

5:48 pm

5:53 pm

they all have the same three letter beginning, the stuff you breathe

5:53 pm

green, ar4/4, what you breathe + a consonant (think hot bev that's not coffee)

5:53 pm

what we breathe + cross, then plus 8th letter, or with snake

5:54 pm

then cross letter, plural

5:54 pm

ar5/12, add another consonant to the end

5:54 pm

ar5/10, plural

5:54 pm

thanks fran

5:54 pm

6:00 pm

etatia

6:00 pm

6:01 pm

6:01 pm

sorry, i meant second word that you typed in the chat! :-)

6:01 pm

Okay, I was so confused, but now I am not...thanks.

6:02 pm

I was also thinking sugar cube. Thanks for being patient and persistent.

6:02 pm

i know! i realized later it could have been two things!

6:03 pm

I knew cube wasn't it, but was stuck.

6:03 pm

6:12 pm

the ta6/18 was the tapeworm magzel

6:12 pm

6:12 pm

If you pay a fee, you get to have an icon, and you get word stats so that you know how many words start with each letter. It's worth it to feed your new addiction.

6:35 pm

6:45 pm

Dorens, sounds like my sister - who beats me EVERY time at Scrabble.

6:45 pm

wow, he is good...It's fun to play people that are good like that. I have found that Babble helps my Scrabble game scores.

6:46 pm

it just kills me that I used to "let" him win...

We also play Boggle together, and she also beats me at that.

6:47 pm

be proud!

6:47 pm

charm, that is irritating.

6:48 pm

lol--- i am, i sure am. and happy that we had all those games when he was young, as well as enjoying the new order of things now

6:48 pm

Well, she inherited the killer 'must win' genes in the family. And I got the 'let's go with the flow' genes.

6:48 pm

charm, did you tell your sister about babble, or do you not want her on?

6:48 pm

You and your sister sound like me and my sister

6:49 pm

6:49 pm

my mother is like your sisters!!!

(Oh, let's not get on to mothers we love but ....)

8:05 pm

sounds lovely. Today is the first truly autumnal-feeling day we've had. Cool and breezy -- and enough moisture in the air to feel like it's going to precipate soon!

8:06 pm

HA! sheesh. silly word, I agree

8:06 pm

{{{{JILL}}}} didn't see you on this morning, assume you were happily sipping tea under the blankies (instead of letting dogs in and out, in and out, in....)

8:06 pm

It has started to precipitate here - just drizzly so far

8:06 pm

several kh's, i think

8:06 pm

I going to Chicago next weekend and had to buy a warmer jacket. My little ole sweatshirts are not going to do the trick

8:06 pm

thyere are at least two kh words, pam

8:06 pm

still not too bad here in london as far as weather goes.. a very warm october

8:07 pm

Ah -- so it's coming in from the North, is it? no wonder the temp dropped so much!

I slept in, then had to do some work on the monthlycalendars I design for the local Seniors Society, then went to an afternoon of bridge and then grocery shopping, and here I am, although I shouldn't be.

8:08 pm

What is london usually like this time of year? I know there are times it has a reputation for foggy and clammy... but have always assumed it was a bit of an exaggeration.

8:08 pm

pam, which word do you need a clue for?

8:08 pm

sounds like a full day, Jill!

8:08 pm

the kn?

8:08 pm

thanks, pappou

8:09 pm

the kn is all 1 pt letters after the K...

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

I have one four letter kh

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

got the kn, thanks

8:10 pm

8:10 pm

yep. this last week was hard on my babbling too --

8:10 pm

have a four letter genghis word

8:10 pm

I keep wanting to put in "hair" but it's a phantom...

8:11 pm

my final clue which hopefully will add to stid word count - cr5.12 - you pack think into it - will lead to cr6.21 & cr7.32 and you can also chance the c for k on 2 of those words. Bye all.

8:11 pm

OOH! Tom just got the generator started! woo-hoo! If a storm comes in we won't lose the pump to the well.

8:12 pm
