thanks douglas!
bane

sh7/48... the whole sh*****! the entire thing!
Purple... purple is the theme, or a bday present for Fran?
*poof*
both, ankh
hi ankh! actually when i googles purple, there was a purple ankh on black background
^^riffles through her ankh collection^^
Mmm, Helen, that sounds nice... lemme see...
Interesting glitch in the word list for me. words i enterd are not on the list althoughit says i only have 116 left to find. NEW words that I enter show on the list.
hah - okay, now i get that william hung comment from earlier, lol
thanks mrp!!
aero
oh crap
bang
oh crap too
ROFL
oh crap from earlier
I do have a gold hamster on a purple background, if this isn't purple enough. This leans towards blue, a bit. (reload to see me) What's our goal, solid purple? Royal purple? And why are we doing this?
ROFL again
ankh -- it's fran's favourite colour
forgive me for sounding...hum...simple minded...but what does ROFL mean???
ankh - the ankh is gorgeous
Well, perhaps I am too blue, then. Do you see me? Ah, Jilli, you like it? Thank you!
Rolling On the Floor Laughing
Rolling On Floor Laughing
<coming up for air> Hi, Mr. P!
en7/32 - surrounds with a light (above the head)
hi summer!
not finished yet, summer?
dispatch - not to worry, we all asked that question at some point, it's not like that's inborn knowledge
thanks, mrp
there's a word that sounds llike the former vice-president's name...+pl.
thank you for the lesson...and the understanding!
No, not finished....
tx mrp - that was 4 for me from your clue
One man's **** is another man's porn...
bet you're close, though, summer. I have 10 words - lol
Holy cow, Summer, go to google (not even google images!) and enter purple rose -- some glorious images there.
oh oh oh!!! did you guys see the ga7/40!! I didn't know you could have one gumboot!!
Despite Jilli's kind words, I have changed clothes again in Fran's honor. Ankh under ice, in purple.
mr p - you rock!
You better pay back the loan shark, or you might end up wearing a pair of concrete ******es
ooooh, purdy, ankh!
well, ankh -- that's purpler fer sher
I don't know how to transfer an image from Google yet....
There's also en7/36
ankh - oooh, that's a pretty one
you can add a single secong vowel to that boot....
summer -- email me (see my profile) and I'll send you the how-to
berg
British variant spelling of place prisoners go...and no, "public office" isn't in the grid...
I got the ha7... and you can't have it!!
hiya erda !
*second
gaols
oops
Hoya Helen!!!
thx, erda :)
hoya = hiya -- I better go to bed.....
Yeah, Summer, it's really easy. Go to "MY ACCOUNT" at upper right, and you'll see your current picture. Click EDIT there. Then, it will let you fill in the http:// address for whatever picture you liked from your google search.
I got the ha7 and you can have it, but I don't know how to clue it....ha+ "new" + male person...
I have the ha7! the ha7! nananananah!!! Good going summer!
Thanks mrp for letting everyone know about clues - I was fending off 3 vulturous programmers
I didn't know how to clue that either! LOL
^^changes clothes AGAIN to demonstrate^^
ah! time to show them the feather duster lickety!
Okay, okay, I'll try it...bbiam...
cute, ankh
thanks summer
cuuuuute ankh
hi Lickety and thanks for all the work you do!
Thank you, Jilli. I am fortunate that the internet will *always* provide something for my name; and that I have quite the backlog of hamster photos. :)
As a former Windy City denizen, that CHGO is driving me nuts, I can't see anything around it. Helen, is it bugging you, too?
Oh! Hi, Lickety, thank you! and hi everyone else I missed, whups.
yep ankh, i mentioned it very early on - that & chagal(l) who has a mural dowtown
I used to work directly across the street from the Chagall!
Txs for the compliments, Debb, Jilli.
I keep seeing bi(t)ch
Or bichon -- !
algore, haha
Need to try again a little later...
my sympathies ankh
that purple is pretty darn brite there Ankh!
hey chic!
lovely flower, chic
Hi helen and Jilli!
hi all!
Hi, Chic! You mean behind the hamster, or are you still seeing the icon I had before that, the all-purple one?
could someone remind me where to check for the icon theme?
Finally got to 80 words --- finding it really tough going tonight. Think I'll call it a day :)
If you have Babbler on your friends list, click her name there. Or find her in Who's Online, but I'm not sure she is. Is there somewhere else to look? Night, Nan!
babbler has the icon themes in her profile
look at babbler's profile kierlex
If you put Babbler in your "My Friends" she tells you every day and lists future one. Also, on Lickety's page, you can click on Icon Themes
nan, your cake for frans looks too delicious
nan -- I'm glad to hear you're finding this tough because I am, very much so!
couldn't get pic- said image file was in unknown formwt....
I didn't know that about Lickety's page. And here's my perennial Lickety Commercial: if you are using the page, remember to click some of the ad links at right -- even if you flip right back, he makes some fraction of a penny towards the cost of running the site. :)
nan, stuck right alongside you with 86, turning in sounds good to me, maybe fresh eyes will see more
Great hat, Helen. Rose, I'm sorry... want more coaching? Via email or here?
Here= why can't you copy and paste pic?
thanks everyone! i am way out of practice...
summer, if you find a pic you like in Google Images, right-click on it and choose Save As.. I can send you a fuller explanation if you email me (see my profile)
phantom: bingo, bingos Well, because Dr. God didn't set it up that way, Rose. But you should be able to copy and paste the URL of the pic... or do what Jilli says! :)
lol ankh, how many icons have you tried on so far, 4,5,6? LOL
okay, I'll try that...
ne7/28 - orange oils
summer - are using apc or a mac?
Hey, this is only the third purple one! :) So 4 total since I walked in half an hour ago. :)
aaaaah, LOL
i'm going to bed & finsh watching gilmore girls from last night
purple is a hard color to pull off, you have to try lots on ;)
good nite everyone !!!!
all these long words are going right over my head
that's cute ankh!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANMAG !
thx mr p
nite Helen!
night helen
hi all, nite helen
hi chic!!
Thank you for understanding, Tea! "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me."
hi mva
Night, Helen, sleep warm!

wow, i am so out of practice with babble!

Hi Debbs! How's by you?

Morning all

How can there be 139 words in this grid? I am slowing down at 20
LOL keir :)
Lovely, Rose! You were lovely before, too, of course, but I favor a purple rose something fierce.
sprite, you must have a tempurature!! ((gets the thermometer))
i have a male co-worker who painted his office super dark purple. he has a total purple fetish. purple truck, purple clothes, purple glasses. and he named his daughter Indigo!
sprite, I only have 18
Love your jewelry, Jilli.
Thank you for showing me how!
Ankh, I love your icon!
I got to 34, but am thrashing now.

Hey, Sprite, do you do Sinterklass, and if so, which day?

hiya sprite
children's book by Ian Flleming, writer of James Bond= Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

LOL
Sprite, it's a nonsense phrase, like abracadabra. Hey, is it Sinterklass, or Sinter Klass?
there
Kierlex, I am confident you can get purple sheets!
there's a word short for a guy who lives all alone and likes it high up in the mountains +pl.
F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S
he4/6
It's Sinterklaas, to be exact :) Or Sint Nicolaas. And I am getting nowhere with the nonsense phrase. What are the stats?
sorry, I read that wrong.... a guy who is alone in shorts and high??
YAY RUTHY!
bye all im off to work now
wooooooohoooooooooooo ruthy
wtg ruthy
wow!! yay!!

or is that a guy who wears high shorts alone?
I thought we were?
woooooohooooooooooo Summer

*an
ha7.......ha + misspelled paul from the movies
sh 7-- hetero sex
sh7.........the whole sh*****
lol Egg.......i like that clue
thanks eggcorn and kalea
don't know any Pauls though
eggcorn - you've warmed an old ladies heart with that one
*lady's
good morning everybody:)
glad to be of service
paul was in The Hustler, Butch Cassidy, Cool Hand Luke, a lot of race movies
ok changed my icon - and HB to Fran if she is here
hello jean
*bows down to google*
hi jean
hi annie
hiya daddy
i can see it here, saph, but not in your profile
have 39!
strange - anyone else who can't see it?
ok have updated the puss
saphyre -- love that icon -- decades ago my little boy used that as his halloween costume -- improvised with coathangers, a new years horn, and his dad's old purple school sweater
only started a while ago...36, but am going for a while to get dinner.
lol jilli - sounds great :)
lovely, mp
nice purple puss, mrp! I love these icon changes -- a whole different level to babble
beautiful brooch, jilli
oh jewellery!
kalea, your purple frog is, um...not pretty but interesting!
thanks, kalea
lol.........he's got a face only a mother could love?
is that frog doing yoga??
lol
you said it, kalea!
if he wants to, mp
actually........i think he looks rather distinguished
uh, beauty is only skin deep?
yours isn't, jilli :D
lol........he could even be prince charming inside
We'll have to let Fran kiss him to see if he turns into a prince :)
awww, sprite
lol saph
oh crap! why can't I get fireworks!!?? I must be needing another bottle open....
you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet a prince
enough wine, mp, and you can see fireworks even without finishing
enough bottles and you'll be seeing fireworks all over the place without even looking at the computer...
snap, kalea
lol jilli
I am opening these bottles for you ladies too!!!
Morning all!
hi Flask

Morning FMitch - how you've changed! Yes, power back again.
Hi saphyre and Angb Haz I've changed to purple for FranMags birthday but she has not been around so far
back in a bit - need coffee
Ah,that explains it! It's very nice, just puts me in mind of chocolate......
HAve you found the old comic Haz (I mean the paper varierty)?
Thanks, I have now!
What a dandy clue....
LOL I can't topper that one
(Trying to remember all the old comics.... We liked the Bunty for the cut-out dolls, but I'm trying to remember which comic 'The Four Marys' appeared in.
hello all
Good evening lynxxx - how are you?
Hi Lynxxx
Good - except for just arriving home from work at 8.30 - it does get in the way ! Hi FM
Flask - are you still here?
hi Lynxxx, daylight saving makes it very late at times.
Hi Sunny - certainly takes a little while to acclimatise the internal clock!
I agree with that Lynxx, my body clock still hasn't adjusted, inact it's telling me it is time to hibernate.
You just want an excuse to secrete yourself away with the greek god of love. I see he's back.
Hibernation must be foremost as I hadn't noticed him - that just says it all!!!
Poor soul, waiting for you to spot him!
??!!! pssst - tell me more Haz - what has FM been up to? oh no, its the grid you are talking about isn't it!
Oh my lips are sealed, lynxxx!
It's a pity it doesn't accept ahum - a beehive is all ahum.
Sorry about that, phone call. LOL Haz
It just shows that I'm grasping at straws. This grid is not easy!
I haven't found a new word in the last 15 mins, it is definately not an easy one.
I had high hopes for 'ganch', a Scottish word we use for one who talks rubbish. Alas, it's not accepted.
easy words that are hard to find
There is a lovely g7/40 singular of an old fashioned wellington
Thank you!
wellington boot ?
HAve to share the good ones. Yes lynxxx
TY I'll crank up my memory banks
In story books, usually combined with mackintoshes and sou'wester hats.
got it in one !
Well done!
got that Haz and Hi All lovely day here in Sussex blue skies and very sunny
WTG lynxxx Everyone found the Bond girl?
Hi rosalind
Funny thing - I associated it with whiskey!
Hi everyone
no - ? bit of a hint pls
Good morning Biltong and rosalind.
no
Hi Biltong & Rosalind
ga6/24 - plenty of something
Oh I see it - TY Haz
Hi Biltong
got it thanks
Last random hint - very juicy fruit with flat stone in middle. and pl.
good morning!
ga6/27 alt spelling of wellington?
Bloodaxe - good morning!
hello Bloodaxe!
oh nice one Biltong, hadn't seen that. Hi BA
hi bloodaxe
hI Bloodaxe
nana
yw, FMitch
sorry
i think i'm still a little too tired for the grid this morning. i had a late night celebrating the great victories back home.
Not a Bush fan, then?
i wouldn't say i'm not a fan of him. he's rather quirky and entertaining. but i don't agree with the vast majority of his policies and a democracy isn't much of a democracy when one party controls all branches of the government.
Try telling that to Tony Blair!
plus, i definately am NOT a rumsfield fan. his resingation was the best news i had heard all year.
if the US people her are any guage, then I don't think he has one supporter! whenever his name has been mentioned over the last few months it just causes this huge surge of derision and hatred, I have been amazed at the reactions
Is Faeriekae not on his side?
faerie stood up for him very strongly in one discussion a few months back
this may sound a little arrogant and mean, but i think that most americans who appreciate other cultures and travel generally are more open minded and therefore not members of the republican party.
A lo4/4 supporter, then!
I honestly can't remember one person with a kind word to say about Bush. .... I must have missed that then FM
he does have a strong base in the states, but his policies haven't made being an american abroad very easy.
TY for those 3 Haz !
I can imagine, Bloodaxe.
You're welcome, lynxxx!
speaking of blair haz, has he given in and set a date for his resignation?
You must be joking. Not while Cherie has breath in her body.
He has hinted that it will be at a time of his choosing sometime next year.
haha...i didn't think so. but he did say it would be sometime this year, right?
ok.
If I spoke politics in "social" gatherings you would hear quite a few good words about Bush from me, but this is where I have fun, not discuss politics
well last night we drank a lot of beer, smoked some cuban cigars, and had a good time.
And your head this morning is clear and functioning well, you said?
but saph, dicussing politics IS fun. at least for me. i guess that's why i'm a political science major.
I understand saph - but I haven't minded the conversations at all. they give a fantastc 'true' insight to the various countries that you don't get elsewhere.
hahaha..not quite haz, but i'm definately in a good mood.
There was an article in the paper yesterday indicating that the younger you are, the less you suffer from a hangover. Make the most of it while you are young - a few years from now, you'll not feel quite so chirpy after a night like last night!
well then enjoy the conversation - but to make general statements insinuating that asll babblers are against Bush is ignorant.
And it's time I was off - RDA this morning and my duties await. Back later!
bye Haz
point taken haz.
BYE
bye everyone, see you all later.
bye Haz
By Haz and everyone thats going
bye to whoever is leaving
bye bil.
sorry Saph! I really didn't mean to generalise - I hope I haven't offended you. maybe its just that the 'negative' voices have been much louder.
no problem lynxxx
Bye Haz & Biltong
ubane
heck!!! sorry guys..
just found a nu5.16 up in that corner though Sunny
i'm brain fogged at only 65 words! My MOTH has been sick, so have had a bit of extra running to do.
you are doing better than me Sunny - I have only 57! I try to get 75% before using the list but I'll be struggling to get 50%. Haz & FM said this was hard.
Don't moan. I only have 26!

im liking all the small puzzles this week. I fear a 500+ word puzzle tomorrow
Thank you both for your help
Don't tempt fate, Lain.:)
lol Jac. What has been the biggest puzzle to date...anyone know?
Good morning Babblers. I like these small grids during the work week. TY for clues below--i am off to a good start.
Over 500, Lain, as I recall.
Good morning, Scrabbler.
morn scrab
Hey, Jacula. Callie is lying here next to me, laughing probably as I moan and groan at the grid.
Hi Lain
Scrabbler - I mucked my lot out yesterday.
?mucked
Cleaned the hutches, Scrabbler.
(Like mucking out a cowshed or stable, but on a smaller scale. LOL)
I cleaned the rooms, cages and litter boxes last night too---never a fun chore. Bunnies are poop machines.
gloss
Ooops, free clue. Sorry.
hi Lane and Scrabblef
Scrabbler - I was saying to Paul only last night, why is it that bunnies and g/pigs pooh so much? A pooh for every step! Good thing we're not like that!;(
Hye hodag
LOL, Jacula.
hi Scrabbler
gloss
hi all!
Hi Tiny, you don't have to copy my crime tracks.
Give me a word I haven't got, you two!;)
Happy Birthday FranMag!
Hi FranMag - Happy Birthday! Your card's on my icon.
thanks scrab
Could not leave you on your own Scrabbler
hey Fran
hi hodag! hi jac!
hi and thanks scrabbler!
OK, Tiny, we can both be in the penalty box--maybe we've got doughnuts this AM.
hey hodag
Hi Fran Mag Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Franmag Happy Birthday to you
happy b-day to you!!
that's very nice jac!
Happy Purple Birthday Fran!!!! Hope you have had a great day.
hi tiny! thanks! your voice is lovely.
Doughnuts would be nice about now
thanks fmitch!
So, it's the big 4-0 today, Fran? I have a friend in Liverpool whose 50th it is today. Sent him a card saying, 'Happy Birthday, you Old Codger!' He thanked me for it, too!:)
happy birthday fran!
40 is nothing! A wee babe!
fmitch that's a beautiful purple sunset!
bang
Yes, Jac, that top N is a problem. The only "words" I saw were nano and nubian, but they aren't words.
thanks eva!
Hey enough of the old that is my next b'day
Especially for you Fran :)
woops!
Scrabbler - same here re the top 'n'.
Glad someone else tried nano as well Scrabbler
Fireworks already, Eva?;)
aww thanks fmitch! i know you don't change your icon for just anybody! ;-)
My 40's have been great so far! Don't despair, FranMag.
i tried nano also!
Purple is my favourite colour
Hi FMitch. That icon is be4/7iful!
well its like yesterday when cosmo didn't work
i'm not scrabbler, i'm looking forward to my 40s.
Hi JFB.
mane
Woops
lovely roses tiny!
just fro you FranMag
Lain - Don't say 'cosmo', it makes me think of Cosmo Smallpiece, a character the late comedian Les Dawson used to play.
thanks!
Fran--I finally felt like a mature, wise adult at about 42--I stopped worrying about what everyone else thinks about me
lol
lol Jac
cool scrabbler!
Scrabbler - Same here. A new body would be nice though.:/
Hi everyone - a lovely day - sun's shining and I'm on day off - what more can you ask for!!
Thanks Jacs. Gotta run now. Errands to do. Happy Babbling.
jac, my husband just wants me to get new boobs.
I have to go--trash/recyclable day, then to the hospital to see a newborn--always wonderful. Yes, Jac---a twenty-something body and metabolism would be great.
bye fmitch!
so true i am sick of this one Jac
LOL, Fran. I could give you half of mine.
bye scrabbler!
Bye FMitch and Scrabbler
'Bye FMitch & Scrabbler.
I will hand over all of mine really
it's a deal scrabbler! who can i give half of my tummy to?
Its when everything heads south and creaks isn't it?
hi jfb!
not me I have too much of that too
Fran - I'm sure your boobs are fine. Tell hubby to get implants himself if he wants 'em!;)
I coud donate about 3/4 of mine and not miss them...but they've neer creaked. Interesting image JFB
Hye, we could auction off excess body parts here. One-half of an arse here, do I hear $100?
jac, he already has some of his own! :-)
Creaky boobs? ROFLOL. I think JFB means our joints. Ouch!
I will donate my boobs and stomache
Fran - LOL.
okay- so what about that top n?????
Jiggly man-boobs--always a nauseating sight.
Actually the boobs are about the only bit that doesn't creak - everything else does on ocassions
bye Scrabbler,FMitch,and any one I missed
and they can have them for free
Eva - no idea yet re the top 'n'.
JFB - I know. Time can be cruel!
oooh, just found 2-think the ending from the british word for gasoline
eva, i only have one from the top n, the indian flatbread.
man boobs need "Nip&Tuck)11
yup fran, that's the only other one I have too
thanks eva!
and one is another word for Gran but double second letter
Got all bar 1 now from that Eva. Thanks!

Good morning all --- happy birthday FranMag!

Good Morning Babblers
hi faerie!

Hello faerie.

Hi Jac
Good morning Faeriekae!!
Hi Fran, Eva, Tiny and Ch
Eva - I bet he wouldn't keep it on long enough for you to take a photo!
hey faerie
Hiya Hodag
and getting it on would involve substantial blood loss
we went grocery shopping and i started the grid too late! it's now after 2 am here, have to get to bed!
there is a ne*** "A colorless liquid, C9H17COH, derived from orange blossoms and used in perfumery."
Eva - Yes. Yours! You'd have to fiddle around with the photo in 'Paint' instead. Far safer!
lol eva! by all means keep your current icon!
Awe Good Night Birthday Girl
Sleep tight Fran
Goonight, Fran. Sleep well.

Nope! Give me a nice, friable loam anytime.

I Sandr
Hi Sandr
okay - i konow i have said this before but where exactly? is everyone else looking at a different grid?
no
no Sandr we are all looking at the exact same grid
but i have only 64 small little words and no hope of seeing anymore - i am struggling
awww Sandr you can do it Hon just look in circles
sandr, have a look at Lickety's Babble Clues from the link at the bottom of the page.
and around the corner and you will find them...Or you could go Pro and really rock
Speaking of grids, I only know two aa 4 words. The first one aa4,5 ... mine won't go there because I cannot get to the plural. Is there one I've never learned?
Only the 3rd letter is different in the aa4 words.
sand use lickety's list lol
That pretty much narrows it down to the same third letter that in the word that I know. Must be a weird ending then.
Oh, I guess there is another possibility.
Merk, make sure you're looking at all the options for the starting letter.
Oh, there are four a's. Thanks Jimmack. That's what happens when I start before my morning coffee.
:-)
ok it's getting much to quiet in here again
yoohoo! I'm here, faerie! :-)
Hi Une :)

We are all trying to get through this grid faerie we are still here

nm the oops
pretty bouquet, tiny
Geranium how pretty

can someone help with the aa4/5?
can somebody please help with aa4/5?
plural of what the dentist asks you to say
exclamation of satisfaction, crone -- plural
d*mn i'll have to learn to think in circles
got hung up after i got the aa4/4!
thanks ch & rag!
brb
GOOD NIGHT everyone and God Bless

Hi Wolvie!

ty
ch - I can't make that la work - I must be doing something wrong...
go to the left wolvie
I spell alt name for beer as la + 3 point letter, 2nd vowel, then hook letter. Is there another spelling?
probably because I was misspelling, wolvie... first 3 letters like the beer, then FIRST vowel, then different final consonent.... sorry
use the same vowel
ahhhh. thanks ch and pab that makes sense. :-)
and the word! :-)
undying gratitude to whosoever can put me to bed - only two to go and i'm befuddled. en6/21 & en7/32 please?

TY, this was taken pre sugar hype. We got the twins some Dora four wheelers for their birthday, it's like living in the X games now, all the hootin' and hollerin'. They ride around on em standin' up. They are definately lovin' it!
You'll have to take a photo of them riding and post it for us. :)
good luck on the new abode, bunny. :-)
I will, I keep meaning to do a blog or something of the sorts, but I'm scatter brained.
can anyone help with ne6/18 please?
Gee bunny, judging from the ages of the kids, looks like you are about due for another... :D
That would be the "nd ne6/18, sorry
add another vowel to the end of your ne5/10...and then plural for the 7
ZIP YOU LIPS!! Lol, actually, I wouldn't mind another boy, but it isn't in the cards and these guys keep me pleanty busy.
*2nd*
the last ne6/18 is the plural of the ne5/10
tx ch, its the other one that I need
okay, I'll work on it,tx
the first ne6/18 is your ne5 with a vowel tacked on
Ch1212, what's the cake for? Looks yuuuummy.
It's FranMag's birthday, and purple day. So I combined the two
ch - do these ne's come from the middle or the top n?

the first set of Ns aren't being nice to me
hi judi
hi Judi
booo!!
how many words today?
139
there's no crying in babble lain.
judi, i just tried anglo too!
why can't we use the name of the Cincinnati football team?
it's a name. proper noun. verboten
cause cincinnati sucks.
that too
well, that may be true...lol...but is is a geographid word? I thought it was an adjective describing a type of tiger
ok..proper noun....got it...still bummed tho
I think it starts with a capital B so it is not accepted
im crying about my toddy
i want one ^_^
ha 7/40 : a monkey chief who is a conspicuous figure in the Ramayana. (took a lot of monkey's to get this!!)
couldn't think how to clue it, so i had to look it up. ;-)
that is a non-clue
no sam, that's a Google! thanks wolvie!
ch7,36 any clue plez.
yw kc. :-)
ch plus a word meaning solitary for ch7
yep, it was pretty easy with google, thanks!
Thanks, Haz. I missed you yesterday morning.
hi haz!
ha7/40: Mr. Solo from Star Wars + 5th vowel + guy (For the non-Googlers)
Hello Merk - no power, no babble! I'm glad it's back to normal today.
Hello Wolvie!
don't know nothing about star wars
Bingo, it worked. Thanks, Haz. That one was new to me. Good to have you back.
The first name of Mr Christian Anderson, minus a letter, nut.
You're welcome, Merk.
working from the wrong 'h' al this time. thanks all!
hi Haz!
Hello Anniebrook - I was on earlier and am now hunting down the remaining words. 31 to go.....
Bugzy, I don't know much about star wars, but I got your clue ... well done.
YW - that's about the extent of my Star Wars knowledge as well... :)
Thank goodness I'm not the only person to have zero interest in Star Wars.....
good morning! Star Wars is cool! :)
(I just thought Mr. Solo was cute. I do have a husband and 2 boys who *love* the movies, however, so I've absorbed some of it...)
hi ypsi - I agree.
has Franmag dropped in yet to celebrate her birthday??
sh 7/48?
Hi there Ypsi!
she's probably asleep right now une
Yes, Uneaixoise, she was here earlier.
rats!
I havent seen Fran yet
it's 3:30am hawaii time now
hey, annie!
Hi Une!!!!!
no, wait, make that 4:30
but we're Babblers . . . time is irrelevant! :-)
Une, that is the way it has become
Is it just me or is this a hard puzzle today?
i'm guessing she likes purple?
sh7/48 - a combination of a female and a loud noise.
thanks, haz!
thanks haz
good one Haz
thanks haz
that was a big Ricky Martin hit, right?
ypsi, you are not alone, I am finding harder that usual or I am just dense, no reflection on you, of course
sh7/48 - Ricky Martin/William Hung song! (singular)
You're welcome!
oh, thank goodness annie, i thought it was just because i'm rusty
oh yeah Bugzy!
no seriously I am feeling so dense today!
good day everyone
hi abe
Is the chat hiccuping for everyone, or is it just my computer acting wacky again today??
hi abe!!!
hiccupping for sure
Good afternoon abe.
hey featherbee and annie :)
chat's fine for me right now
hi abe!
anyone have the 3 big GAs? ga 6/24, 6/27, and 7/40?
hey Haz. Bugzy- babble site is a little wonky for me today. Hey Wolvie
abe, my birthday buddy, are you taking it easy for a while???
6/27 is a boot
cauzneffect - ga6/24 - a large amount of something, the other ga words are reminiscent of an old fashioned name for wellingtons.
annie, is it your birthday today too?
Annie- I am taking it easy, battling my sinuses right now! how was your weekend celebration with your children?
feather, no it was last week, abe and I share the date, today is FranMag's birthday
happy belated birthday to you both then!
thanks haz!
Abe, we all had a great time, thanks for remembering
ga7 rainboot with an olde ending
ditto, annie!
I'm glad to hear it! It was certainly the warmest birthday in awhile! Thanks Featherbee
thanks, feather and une
a large amount of something...?
last one: 0r 5/14
Think of either lots of whiskey, as in the famous book/film, or a Bond girl. I'll say no more!
oh, good one, haz! Didn't think about the James Bond character! :-)
Great clue, Haz
Either a musical instrument or a part of the body (or5/14)
or5/14 - several in your body

hi rae
Good morning harpjane and raelite.
hi annie, wolvie
and haz
and harp
Hi Raelite
hey abe
ch 7/36?
ch7/36 - add a solitary word
It apparently means an inhibiting endocrone secretion.
ty haz
You're welcome, majmom.
haz, which word are you cluing with the Bond girl? All I can think of is Pussy Galore....
So type in the word harpjane and see the points! You're right with the feline....
harp saaaiiiidddd a word!
hee, thanks for that one harp!
thanks Harp
and Haz
oh, duh, now I get the clue.... (coffee.....)
jane, lol
Not to worry, harpjane - look how grateful people are.
I'm missing 2 of the 7's - I have ch7, en7, ga7, ha7, ne7, and sh7... can anyone help?
There are two en7 words.
And an no7 word - indicating those who like to eat.
TY Haz - I have the no6, hit me with the plural fish!
en7/36 - to command great attention , en7/32 - encircles the head with saintly light.
and TY again, needed the saintly one :)
You're welcome, Bugzy.
Haz, as usual thank you!
Glad to help, Annie.
can I have a hint for the NON saintly one? That one's not prodding the brain cells
on the en7's....is the 3rd letter the same in both?
add the yucky g5, kc..
to be deeply involved in-en 7/36
The interested en7 - 12x12 provides the clue.
no chiley
any clues for the en 5/10`s
e plus no 4/5 for the 5/12
argh. ok. the icky word one was the 36... maybe I should just work today....
I only have one en5/10, plural of en4/4 (which is en + first 2 letters of 'not young')
one of en 5/10 - what you do with students at the beginning of the year, minus one consonant
en5/10 - to sign up for a course.
the other 5/10 is the plural of the 4/4
ty all got them
Take be*** before, there'll be*** gas... I always hated those commercials, but it stuck, so I guess it got the point across. Just like "HEAD ON!"
...Apply directly to the forehead!!
lawl.
Talking about commercials - have you found the catchphrase? sl6/24
Thank you, Haz. Didn't see that yet. =)
I have now, Haz... TY again :)
And surprisingly, take off the first letter and get a five letter word.
good afternoon everybody:)
Good afternoon jean!
surprise? it's a type of berry...
:)
Hi Jean :)
hi jean

bye anniebrook:)
Bye Annie - I'll take a break as well. Bye all!

HA!

anyone know anything about rankings? specifically, how oone can go from 1028 to 995 in one day?

hey, how's our favorite murderous weapon?
Good afternoon, Bloodaxe. How is your day going?
hi blood and dorens
it's going pretty well considering i spent all of it sleeping. needed the rest I guess. how are your kidneys?
hi annie and blood
Haz wheres spangle gone?
Dorens - it's a sore point that it is better not to start a grid rather than start and not complete it. Get a sick note from your doctor and see if Dr-God has a heart.
Spangle is fine, spanner! It's purple for FranMag's birthday.
hi dorens and annie
HB Fran (sorry I didnt know)! Glad to hear that the dogs ok Haz
haha haz....i will survive, though. thanks
Afternoon all...........
She's fine - although giving me THAT look that means a walk may be required soon.
sick dog haz?
hi caitlyn
at first i was afraid, i was petrified...
Ive just got back from taking mine, its cold wet and foggy here...
I'm glad you're feeling better today, Dorens. No, the dog isn't sick - a good job, the vets are hopeless around here..... (joking)
those vets! (particularly when they're family)
Where in the world are you spanner?
yes, channeling donna summer here, thanks hursh
Worcestershire!!! LOL but I live on a common and the damp just sits...
Its been a lovely sunny but cold and dry day in Wales (for a change)
Bloodaxe - just realising now that you were enquiring after MY kidneys! They're fine - you're safe!
I sometimes think that the weather leaves wales and migrates across the Malvern hills to here!!! (Joking!!)
Im sure thats true spanner lol
There's something wrong when you're still killing wasps in November as I have just done.
I agree Haz we are still having them here
I know isnt the weather weird at the moment? I have a californian lilac in the garden and it flowered last week!!!
My honeysuckle is still flowering!!
Good to know Haz. F.Y.I.-I was showing concern for your health, not MY kidneys ;)
WOW! Thats real unusual.
That's very nice of you, Bloodaxe - I'm very well.
And I take it, that's yourself in the picture?
Oh..yes. I didn't think it would show up so soon. I also added a little bit in my bio. I figure it's about time for an update
Off I go to read the update....
haha. enjoy!
Its nice to see what you look like Bloodaxe
thanks caitlyn.
You're not nearly as murderous looking as your name suggests..
hahaha..thank you.
hello bloodaxe!
Hi Stid!
I agree with Haz's last comment...
Hi stid
hi all!
and thank YOU. how's your day?
Hello stid!
hi stid... i had a murderous migraine yesterday (hadn't had one in over three years) and I would love to know how you do babble with one!
hi Stid!
sunny, clear, a bit on the cool side, and no time to actually play this momrning...
hello again everyone:)
hi jean
aahh. that's too bad. well as long as you enjoy the nice weather, i suppose i can forgive your absence.
hi jean
Hi jean
dorens, i don't think it can be done.
Hello Jean
oh Dorens, I am so sorry. I babble with migraines by putting on sunglasses, dimming the computer monitor, turning off all lights and pulling the shades. But I don't have a "problem" LOL
any clues on any of the ne's?
whoo hoo! I have a recliner!
haha Stid.
thanks bloodaxe for understanding! There is a veterans' day concert at the boys' school and we want to attend. Of course. Will be back in a couple hours.
good for you pappa!

It's Saturday, Blood ..
thanks tor.
i'm definately in another world over here.
in more ways than one,I'm sure Blood
A lot of schools etc. will be closed tomorrow ..
this is true dorens. how was the aquarium?
it is a fantastic aquarium....my son & daughter in law's wedding reception was there... very different!
WOW thats different Dorens
Wow. I've never heard of a wedding reception at an aquarium. That's very unique. Was this recent?
particularly since the aquarium is built heightwise around a huge shark tank in the center...so you can wander up a circular ramp to the top floor.....sseven years ago....they are different sorts of people though. it was actually a double wedding, her sister married at the same time.. service was at harvard memorial church...needed somewhere else for the party, and what a party!
that sounds really cool.
Got to go, bye all, happy babbling
Bye spanner

kalea, more time for chatting and that's much more important anyway
lol judy........good point
very true, smaller
How many do you have left Judy?
You're so sweet, Judy. We're the same vintage. What month is your birthday? Mine's March. Oh, this is my cat instead of me. More whiskers!

I was born November 1944
So it's your birthday soon.
oooooh judy........so you have a birthday this month
See, I can come on for a few minutes here and there. I get to chatting and forget to look at the board. Then I have to go. Yes, very soon - cake

Pop in on the day so we can all wish you many happy returns and feed you cybercake.
i am struggling with this one, 100 left
If I remember - hehehe

I play on The Club - you have to be invited there and it is a pay site. I play on Chez Moi - but they aren't taking new members right now
If you want, I'll send you an invitation to join The Club.
There's an amazing story in that, kalea.
Yes please, judy :)

Yes, my babble one is. I look every day but nobody ever writes, boo-hoo.

139 words
Hi Jillio
fiona, that Roman emperor clue didn't work for me
Ooops!...Sorry Jilli...lol
no7/32??
be6.24 - is the legumes with vowel and then plural on the end
en6/21 is the gold thing roun a saint's head
TY Fiona - that gave me Fireworks

wd Lynxx
YAY lynxxx!!!

BE - the sides of a river that helps keep the water in
en7/36 (the 1st en word, not the saintly one)
en - totally involve
en7/36 means to absorm someone's interest and the 2nd syllable means disgusting

thanks, jill
Can I get an opinion or two about this new icon? I'm trying to get a picture of myself that clearly shows my face, doesn't look like a mugshot, and doesn't make me look angry. any opinions on this one?
the only al i have is a + not short
al5/10 solitary
that's the second one
al 5/14
so you have not short and solitary?
you kinda have a deer in the headlights look, pappa, but otherwise okay!
yup
it's followed by a 6/24
hmmm... thanks tnc.
Hi everyone, I was wondering if Fran had been in yet.
Smooth....look at the camera and smile!
smooth -- it's ok but could be friendlier if you smiled a bit and looked toward the camera -- IMHO
smooth - lol, k, since you asked, you def don't look angry, the pic does indeed show your face, doesn't really look like a mugshot, but you kind of look like you've just seen something scary, but not terrible, like, let's say, oh , your first child just being born - my suggestion, let's see some teeth - ie, a great big smile :)
al5/14: former Vice President, minus his last vowel
bichon - like the former vice president
Hi Ex-Wren -- she's not on line just now -- I checked
al6/24, plural him
Happy Birthday Fran! (just scrolled down)
I have been off line for a few days, my PC went into hospital for a health check

Hi TNC

FranMag! Glad I looked in - I can wish you happy birthday as well.

thanks haz!

hey torg, tom looks great in purple!
He might get used to it . .
How are you, fellow scorpio?
when's your birthday torg?
Yesterday ..
happy belated birthday then tor!
Fran! happy birthday (eat cake!)
oh! happy belated birthday torg!
ooh, the big 5-0 was it?
ooh, thanks dorens! that looks great!
Haaaa! Belated Happy Birthday torgone!
Was that kept rather quiet? Happy birthday for yesterday, torgone.
yay, tor!
very belated birthday to Torg!
Thank you all!
torg is obviously not an attention-hog like i am! :-)
Belated wishes to you Torgone!
Clue for the nu5/16, please?
i have at least at least 10 pretty close friends that are all scorpios.
November was always a long celebration when i lived near them.
I like a little attention, but I didn't want to look like I was begging for it ..
nu - think of nu***n prince or princess
ancient african kingdom is nu5,16
sorry biltong, don't have it yet.
have you seen a NU***n queen?
thanks bubba!
and why isn't that a proper noun, anyway?
no Dorens, sorry don't get it.
same end as Laurence of ARA***
hi again fran! Are you having a happy birthday? Did I tell you my daughter-in-law is a scorpio too?
nu + consonant + a germ is a bacter**
aah, of course. I thought it would be a proper noun. Thank you
yw
i think you did mention it before jilli when horoscopes came up.
brb, phone

hi periwinkle, r u around..............Sue told me today you had looked for me. Well, here I am
gr5/15 = a dozen
thanks
you are most welcome, Biltong
sorry, should have been gr5/14
how do you play? im new
lo6/24 please?
You make words of four letters of more - they have to touch and can be adjacent or diagonal - look at help for details.
you find words (at least 4 letters) in the grid.
lo6.....not short + **aconda, the snake
lo6/24 - adds the start of Princess Royal's name to the lengthy lo4/6
You chat and swap recipes and tell jokes and occasionally find words in the grid and accidently type them in the chat log ..
lol tor
lol, torgone
lolol....tor!
Well, that's how I play ...
sounds fun
and highly addicting, and
clue for the sl5/12 please?

one of my fave fruits
jili - i'm still totally loving your icon - do you remember what you googled to get it?
well how did you all get your icons to turn purple?
hi stid -- how are you today?
{{{Jill}}} your letter did me a lot of good. thanks. :-)
TO -- I think I googled Amethysts
to asks a good question, i'd like to know too
aaaarrrrrrrrrr....hi jilli.
tx jili
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh for nut jilli!!!!!
hi nut -- read your story too, and ren's...need I say more?
thanks ren, didn't have the guts to finish
my arrrgghhhhh where is my arrrggghhh????
of course jilli, you may sympathise with us on our childhood ordeal.
my kingdom for an arrrrrgggghhhhhh
TO - looks like no one is going to tell us how they got all purply
be back in a bit, have to feed kids.
I guess just google for something purple?
probably just tinted it in photoshop
mew mew mew mew mew mew mew mew
jilli...can you come visit us? we are so lonely and i hate this yellow dress
I don't know how they did their icons but you can recolor anything in Publisher by right clicking and recoloring in the hue of your choice.
helen - apparently not...
cliffy!
i do mine w/ paint shop pro
cliffopa are those your kitties? sooooo cute
CLIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
aw hi cliff *pets little kitties*
kris - what;s publisher?
awwww, cliff!
cliff...I'm dying. I nearly took home 3 baby kittens yesterday
sorry helen and TO -- I played around with the color adjuster in IrfanView which is my photo editor.
*goes to check on my cat*
11 to go here -- digging back into the grid
helen..Microsoft Program. Comes standard w/ Office Pro I know.
maybe Slim will be purple when you find him, daisy!
noooooooooooooooooorm
go Jill go! 65 here.
the seven little ones are doing great. i've never seen so much poo in all my life in one place at the same time! hi everyonnnnnneeeeee!
i guess i'm outta luck here, i don't know what paintshop is, or a photo editor
oh dear, cliffopa! hope it's at least smaller poo than a full-size cats?
me. neither
holy pile of kittens cliffy
cliff i saw on yesterdays news about those mis treated kitties in NH ... poor things
a photo editor is a program that lets you look, recolor and resize your digital photos. Mine does not let me draw anything though. :-(
Looks like you need a cat genie, like hurshy is always recommending.
helen - goog ole google might help you find out...
animal hoarding is a serious problem aknitter. we've had several in this area just in the past few weeks.
*good
haz - i actually ordered one of those cat genies today!
i have an adopted siamese -- got him from a shelter he was abandoned he is just a love
Well then, your problems with poo will be a thing of the past! Have you ordered an industrial sized version?
a poo genie
the only size! lol
Funny -- nobody has chosen a purple cow...
like a diaper genie. why didn't i come up with that idea? make a bazillion bucks.
oh i love the purple cow poem
no, Slim is still white with his orange spots and striped tail. Glad I went out there; saw a dog going down the alley, and Slim was a bit scared.
poor Slim!
kristin - okay - i have that program, & i see i would need to devote both time & brain-power to figure stuff out, but at least i have a starting place, thx!
I've never seen a purple cow I never hope to see one. But I can tell you anyhow, I'd rather see than be one.
he's ok; he had sense enough to hide
Helen...believe it or not, it is really user friendly. Hollar if you ever need help with it. Good luck!
when my son was little i painted his room with a farm scene -- barn animals and all, there is one black sheep and the famous purple cow
I've never seen a vitamin. I never hope to see one. But I can tell you anyhow, I'd rather C than B1.
hey nut...how was bowling last night....in your wedding dress? i'd love to see a pic of that.
those three tabbies are identical to my Malka. although tabbies do tend to resemble one another, i still find them endlessly interesting to look at and adorable.
okay, gonna head to the gym *waiting for all the congrats/good for you type responses*
aknitter - a poo genie!!! LOL - i need one for my poeranian
jilli did you make that one up?
*pomeranian*
:0) might make me feel better about goin'
go for it kristinc! and have fun!
No, I think it was Ogden Nah.
lol
helen i assume you meant pomeranian!! lol
i'm not bowling in my wedding dress until ren and fiz show up
the black, white-faced kitty...I used to have one with that same expression...he was jealous of the computer. I had to try to type and balance him over my shoulder like a big dsih towel.
Are you doing the exercise by proxy thing, kristin? 100 calories worth for me, thanks.
ogden nash wrote the purple cow but i don't remember the vitamin one
okay, daisy refresh to see a surprise visitor that still meets the theme!
clues for rhe A's. Please.
nutty - you went bowling in your wedding dress? somehow that doesn't surprise me (too much)
not yet hk, waiting for rennie and fizzie
request has been noted Haz :) DONE! see ya'll later
i see everyone has been moving latley -- we have some strange new residences
lol my KAT!
kristin: do some exercises for me!
*grin*
how did you do that??
Excellent, kristin. I feel lighter already.
I stole it from your blog and played with it to make him purple...
i'd like some butt exercises by proxy please
i'm stuck at 24, going to do the sudoku now, see you all in a little bit
i need help coming up with 2 more names. i have peanut, mikey, ikey, nike and spike. i have 2 identical all black ones without a moniker.
I need gut exercises
could someone please smoke by proxy for me?
spook and phantom
nut -- smoke !! NEVER
cliff: Ink and Jet? *I'm a geek*
cliffopa -- how about ebony and coco?
i had a kitten called phantom, he died.
jet and ebony?
nut, i'll smoke one for you :)
LOL daisy!
i like 'jet' that's a cool name
daisy wins
no, but sometimes i wish i smoked because when smokers get stressed, they light up and then they just look soooo relieved.
blasts kristin with fire extinguisher -- this is a no smoking area
Their lungs don't feel relieved, though....
staggers at blast of CO2... watch where you aim that, knitter!
i know nasty habit, i quit for 10 years until i went through a divorce
nut, don't EVEN wsh that. mine smokes constantly, I.e. any time he's awake
i'm looking at instant gratifications
jet is a cool name. also appropriate because my son is in the air force
ooo purple kitty
knitter, i think a blast of co2 may be worse for the lungs
purple kitty is daisy's...
howdy people!
lol Slim is now trying to wash the purple off!
hi smooth
hi pappa
hi pappa! pretty posies!
can anyone toss a clue for a U word my way please
un + male
posies? hmmm... i thought they were tulips, but I don't know a thing about botany. lol but thank, stid. :)
un4/5 - babblet, add a couple of vowels
un + 2 vowels
peezy pozzie arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
thank you for those u"s
ag 4/6 clue, please? ty!
ag4/6 - looks like the onset of pain
a + not here
I'm sorry evan, I didn't quite catch that... maybe if you aited to swallow before talking? ;)
okay, excuse me while i go bang my head off a brick wall a little while longer
ty!
oops...that's 5/14 :)
passes pillow to nut for her head
what happened? where did i go? who called me?
na4/4 please

na4/4 can either be a type of Indian flat bread, or an affectionate name for grandmother. They use the same letters.
nut sorry...don;t be a head banger
firewords
thank you, thank you
Congratulations jillibus!
yay Jill!
congrats, Jilli
yayayay jilli!!!!! - now will you come visit nut and me?
congrats jillibus!!!
honestly, hate, my, job, right, now
wtg, jili!
*bows deeply and graciously accepts giant bouquet
what do you do nut?
What are they making you do in your job?
ok, ren, but no kidnapping!
a clue please for the very last MA word?
ok jilli - we promise...honest
i stare at credit reports 13 hours a day
eewww! nut! no wonder!
of course, incarcerated as you are it might be a bit difficult
oh nut, you poor thing.
its ma4/6
true jilli, but laughting larry has a plan i think
The last ma word - add two letters, normally seen at the start of a word to indicate a negative.
poor nut -- no wonder you escape into fantasy
YAY Jill!
Or, insert the last vowel into a male.
can I borrow tommy?
snot fantasy
sure jilli - if you can find him
What a strange think to fantasise about.
isn't he showing chj a new computer?
tommy's a cutie with his pencil thin 'stache, and litttle beret on his head
haz, being a pirate is a strange fantasy?
no - that was marco jilli
I have all those already Haz!!
No, you said 'snot fantasy'.
tommy's probably watching
here? you think he's watching here?
That is the only ma4/6
he's hiding in your bathroom rennie
watching chj and marco...
oh - i thought he was at the lonny bin w/ nut and me
just got back from 2 hours of photo shooting... so much work ahead tonight!
only 10 past 4 pm and I had to turn the lights on

northern lights jilli?
YAY riemann!!!
no rennie, thats the ghost grizelda
yay riemann!
yayayy riemann!!!!
YAY rieman! wait wait. PRO riemann!
LOL Stid!
they were naught little photos... had to be punished... no I have alot of clean up
I wish, rennie -- they come in August when it's warm
when did you do that? did I know about this already? :-)
I knew if I kept at this chatlog long enough, you'd spot that Stid.
clean up on alise 4
Just went pro today.
yes, riemann, I noticed your pro icon and all!
that is a gorgeous rose -- one of the ones you took on your way to work?
I am so distracted, riemann -- not having a good parenting week. {{{hugs}}} for going pro!
No, that rose was across town. I was feeling violent last month, so I shot it.
yayayay reiman!!! yayay pro!!!!!
oh dear
wondered if you would pick up on that ... and just for everyone's info, I did NOT shoot daisy's cat, she did -- I merely colored him purple afterwards.
People who watch Stidmama & I together frequently make that comment, Jilli
someone is outside.......
tommy?
*sends Stid on vacation and lets Stidpapa handle the little beasts*
you mean like a bad guy rennie?
riemann is just jealous because I have the dirty house filled with obnoxious kids and flea-bit dogs while he merely has a career in a field he loves and ...
i checked it out - some kids
*giggle* we're sounding like ren and nut and chj now!
shoot them with the super soaker
hahahahahah you rollin' w/ the homies stid
*wonders if stid complimenter her gang or insulted them*
ren, I recommend threatening them with algebra homework. That, apparently, is the worst thing an adult can do to a child...
not MY kid1 she loves it!
*laugh* I'm going to be busy on vacation next month, I see.
Guess they know about that terrorist organisation, Al Gebra
yes riemann, you are! Tom and I will drop off the kids with you, then slip quietly across the border and hide out in Jill's basement
ROFL Jill!
LMAO! that's good Jill!
what you you soing on your vacaion riemann????
can someone help me with the sl 6/24?
hahahahahaha jilli!!!!!!!!!
jilli you sly devil you
I'm visiting the Stids on vacation. I don't get enough insanity where I'm at.
sl6/24 a catchphrase, beloved of advertisers.
ty haz
You're welcome!
hahahahha riemann...gosh stid...maybe we have a west coast contingency now!
yep. we make math students look normal!
oh, my "darlings" just got home...
Oh, no you don't Stid! You just convince people there's more than one version of insanity.
oh Haz! I just figured out that SL6 clue! thanks!
an 4/4 please?
Glad to help, stidmama.
*hands Stid suit of armor*
an4/4 - another babblet, more vowels ...
an4/4 - another babblet, more vowels ...
Hmm..... I hear the sound of dinner trying to get out of the fridge and onto the stove..... *wave*
an4/4 the Clebes buffalo babblet, I think
*hands stid algebra problems* - fire at will!
an4/4 - another babblet, more vowels ...
an4/4 the Celebes buffalo babblet, I think
*hands stid algebra problems* - fire at will!

hi ollag -- welcome to insanity
sheryl, add a cnsonant to the end of the sh4/5 above it....count points...

thanks for the help everyone!
scrabbler, stidmatt sends his love...
LOL scrabbler and stop groveling... you should meet Sprite!
hurrah stid!
Tell stidmatt that he looks quite handsome in a tux! What instrument does he play?
Who is Sprite? Your monkey?
he plays the trumpet, scrabbler, for about 6 years, scrabbler.
sprite is the babbler who always finishes the puzzles first - and doesn't even use lickety's list
Sprite is a genius babbler who comes on about flip time most nights. She lives in the Netherlands. there are others, too -- but she seems to be able to find anything!
My sister, Lisa, played the trumpet for 9 yrs.
sorry about all the extra names. very tired this evening.
ch7 please?
I used to play the French horn
Hi, Scrabbler, you sick of my notes yet? :)
stidmatt says it's cool that Lisa played the trumpet. He got started on David's old beat up trumpet.
ch + solitary
hiya ankh
I really like the sound of French Horn.
hi Ankh!
Well, I aspire to be a Sprite-like Babbler. It would certainly save me a lot of time.
Hiya, Stid!
ty melon
me too, stid, that's why I picked it :P
I LOVe the French horn!
Ankh--what notes??
the trumpet is very cool
Well, I thought Tom would be home by now, but as he's not and the kids are hungry... I'm off to make swedish pancakes (or our version of them anyway) for dinner. Lingonberry jelly anyone?
MMMM, yummy, Stid.
thanks mab, stidmatt is happy you enjoy it!
I want to pick it back up sometime, but it's going to have to wait until I have a bigger/more soundproof apartment
pancakes for dinner! tasty.
I'll have to put up an mp3 of him playing one of these days. he's not bad.
back now to see stid's firewords -- YAY stid!!!
Hi, Ornith! Whoops, Scrabbler, ignore previous inquiry. :)
I "hear" you Ornith! LOL -- what about a music store or college music department? sometimes they have practice rooms... *drifting into the kitchen to begin cooking* later all!
It weighs a ton stid - I know I'll never practice if I have to go somewhere to do it
well, I'll cross my fingers that you will be able to soon, Ornith, music is our life... *really really gone now*
thanks and bye stid
Byyyye Stidddyyy
oh, I missed good chat -- I've heard stidmatt play the piano -- very very very well. And we have a new late-night phenom -- a newbie, of all things, called SummerRose, who has been lightning fast to finish first by a long way!
en5/12?
^^grumpy because we can't do bengal and bengals -- what, no tigers? Drat! Capitals!^^

Hi again.

hey smooth, any more odd phone calls?
were you around when I got the one from last night?
oh, I guess you're too young, ornith -- glad you got it anyway (Bush 1's Gulf War)
no, i was around when the guy wanted to come visit you.
there was another last night, a guy who mentioned spanking... and other things...
well, I must have heard the name or I wouldn't have gotten it, jilli. I do remember the first gulf war, vaugely, but my memory is terrible, especially for names
seriously... a customer... I wonder about these people, and if they talk like that to everyone
eeewwww! you gotta start sounding like some guido or something
ha!
ornith -- would it have been easier if I had said "average"?
yep jilli
sho no'd wha i meanz likes yus gots a kode in da nodes
ok, live and learn -- lol
ha7?
I'm not sue if that would help or make it worse
ha + sounds like new + guy
lol
thanks kthdsn
more NOT ENGLISH! arg.
aa 4 please
Ornith, that happens a lot on the grid, Scots, gaelic, latin, hindi, made up
ooohs and aa** aknitter
isn't that the aa 5?
I know it lbd, doesn't stop annoying me though
there's an aa5?
and aa+Last Song
yes oohs and aa**
ty lbd
I have an aa4/5, is that what you mean?
yw ak
20 to go, done through M. tough puzzle!
and an aa4/4
aa 4 too
so there are only those 2 aa's right?
ornith -- I clicked on the ? beside the ha7 and found this: Hindu Mythology. a monkey chief who is a conspicuous figure in the Ramayana. And there is a TV news reporter in this area with that first name!
kthdns, yes only 2 aa's
oh good then I have them both
jilli, yeah, I'd heard of the (proper noun) monkey myth. apparently there's an actual type of monkey too
as for the reporter, is he Indian? they tend to use names from Hinduism.
manga?
Yes, tough puzz;e. I had set this day aside to pay some (lots of) bills and things but didn't get any done.
brenn, you'd think so, but no. It doesn't recognize "ramen", either! (but it does recognize "nori", the seaweed around sushi... go figure)
Yes, ornith, there are many east indians in this area.
I finished the grid whilst waiting for my class to start. maybe it's a good thing they didn't show up. lol
bah for incomplete dictionaries!
and dictionaries full of slang
and made up words
it won't let me have sheba either
wait until you see what it DOES include, brenn. but yeah, it's pretty capricious. You'll see stuff like redo, doer, but not redoer.
kthdsn, it's a proper noun. not that I didn't try it too.
lbd -- are you a brit even though you live in the USA? "Whilst" is soooo Brit
and it's got all sorts of weird -man compounds (gasman, etc), but not "hitman"
*weeps*
Jilli, i just have a lot of brit friends. I also had a Brit English teacher growing up, and now i spell a lot of things like the English...humour, behaviour...
well, I guess if all the words were familiar we wouldn't be asking for clues and making new friends
or5 please
well if you insist on stealing our language you should spell stuff correctly :D
it's one thing to have archaic words in, but I wish it were a little more consistent!
Ornith, heart, liver, spleen...
you play tunes on it, ornith
thanks
that's for sure Jilli
lbd -- we can call ourselves bilingual, right? My first teachers were Brits and then I went to the USA and then Canada so I can spell things all sorts of ways, even French
Jilli, i think we're mostly confused! lol
phew!!! paging rennie....*** PAGING RENNIE***
Hey Nut!
heya lb

not to blame you--you can hang up on them if they really are being inappropriate
en plus angel headgear
thanks smooth
no prob, jee. :)
it was just wierd... I mean, a fairly normal transaction, but they just throw these little things in there that make me go..."Whaaaaa?"
check my icon, nat... here is one that I really like from today... look at the icon, and then try to imagine what it would look like in normal proportions. lol
give me some words now
any words melody? hair. Tree, dragon, need more?
just kidding

Yeah, I'll show you what it really looks like at work... the square format squooshes things

Believe me my friends all know that I babble LOL
happy birthday my muse
ankh...your icons are both pretty and sweet - each in your own way!
ankh, you have the prettiest guinea pig (?) icon i've seen today.
oh, not familiar with gaylord. I hope you have a great time with your friend though!

not so fond of the snow, myself. that's why I moved away from michigan....to wisconsin. sigh.
*amends her profile to make things PERFECTLY clear!*
Oh, Natasha... michigan = wisconsin snow-wise! as I'm sure you know.
hamsters are much cuter than mice, I think
i like your profile revision ankh!
Thank you, Natasha! :) Txs, Fran. :) Hey, Fran, why ain'tcha out painting the town purple? Or did you do that already?
I do ankh, I actually moved here for family reasons. I grew up in IL, live in MI for 10 years and now in WI..still pining for my years in San Francisco
Where in Illinois, may I ask? Dear One stil whimpers about the loss of his San Francisco climate, here in Virginia.
my husband has a meeting tonight and a gig on saturday, so we'll probably do something next week.
Ah, okay, pleasure delayed is sweeter from all the anticipation. Oh, wait, that was yesterday's grid.
central IL, about a half an hour northwest of springfield, in a tiny town near Abe Lincoln's general store. I grew up in the shadow of honest abe.
lol ankh!
I went to grammar school in Lincoln.
And how shall I put this: if it's an Illinois town with a prison, I've been there.
Oh, so you are probably familiar with the are. I grew up in Petersburg.
besides ankh, i'm hoping to get a new computer for my birthday, so i'm not complaining if we don't eat out.
Oh, okay, Natasha! ooh, lucky you, Fran.
LOL, ankh. I hope on the outside of the prisons :-)
wow, that's a great gift Fran.

Phew I could never have finished with out the help Thanks Everyone :)
I think it started last night but I was out
fran, yes & no, not so much like in past seasons, although i did see that 'the view' gave the befuddled couple a bunch of stuff, including a new house
oh, they're down to 5 couples this week over here.
Oh ours this time is families
So now the question is should I stay for the flip or get my butt in bed....I don't have to be at work until 11:00am tomorrow hmmmmmmm
I think we are a season behind here
no kidding helen? wow! i was sad that they got eliminated because they were truly in awe of everything.
i think that's downright condescending - oh, you live in a trailer, (you're a loser), here's a house
Happy Birthday Fran - hi everyone
sunny, i think it may be two seasons behind.
you only have 3 quarters of an hour
Hi Saph
hi saphyre! thanks!
LOL Tiny your right maybe I should stay and see what Fridays grid looks like
Hi Saphyre
hi fran! sorry, i chaned out of my purple
your purpleness!
yeah, hang out with us!
i was surprised how much i liked the family one - but it wasn't fair - that couple with the 2 really little kids worked so much harder than any other family cause their kids were so small, but what a great family, i was so sad when they were eliminated
how many do you think it will be it is already Friday here
i know that was a sad elimination for me too.
i'll say 286

Chic change the last letter of your 1st 6/18 to a plural
no worries helen. lol we can split bragging rights if we're right.
