12:23 am

I hate being rushed -- that's why I like babble

12:23 am

Jill -- I popped back in... it's raining here -- really hard. What about you?

12:23 am

pist should be a word

12:24 am

jili- well you can't look at it that way, you're not really being 'rushed' you're just going as fast as you can for 2 minutes

12:24 am

Hello, Helen, Stid, Jilli, Sunny, Metal, Tea, and all! :)

12:24 am

but I like to take my sweet time and relax

12:24 am

you're absolutely right jilli, it should be.

12:24 am

hello Ankh

12:24 am

stid - slight drizzle here, but was raining all day - & sadly 50-60 degree temps are going away - probably forever :(

12:24 am

hey ankh!

12:25 am

there there helen, you can console yourself with your haflingers... what kind of trim do they have? the ones I used to admire had pretty embroiderered bands...

12:26 am

good gravy, Metal, your icon! Yipes!

12:26 am

Ankh -- I TOTALLY approve of your icon! :-)

12:26 am

awww Ankh... that's tame compared to some I thought about using

12:26 am

morning everybody, im back its now 8:27 am in the morning in sunny south africa and it is boiling already, its gonna be a steaming 31 degrees celsius, its gonna be a stinker

12:26 am

12:26 am

heh heh heh... I like Helen's sink. I couldn't find a good sink pic yesterday. Hi there, BlomBol!

12:27 am

*considers what metal can do when she's in the mood, and shudders!*

12:27 am

bugger! I gotta go... see you-all tomorrow!

12:27 am

i'm not a big heidi fan, lol - the style i like is called the grizzly - mine are black with just a plain leather trim - but aren't they great?!?! - on msn.com they had a 20% off sale at one of the shoe dot coms & i took advantage of it - used to work in a shoe store so i know i got a great price - of course it's not the same as ' cost less 30%' now that was sweet!

12:27 am

stid -- I think the precip has stopped and it's warming up -- hard to tell cos is dark -- but there are dripping sounds

12:27 am

Hello blombol - where are you in SA

12:27 am

Oh, Jilli, your shoes are worse. One of my law profs had a pair of those. :(

Thank you, Jilli. Oh, about a year ago, looking for hamster housing. :)

Nice Blom - if you enjoy babble register and we can have another SA flag up

12:32 am

12:32 am

Greetings, Peoples!

12:32 am

hi chic

12:33 am

Yeah, Blom, you all have the prettiest flag!

12:33 am

Hiya Chic

12:33 am

Just found out that the pair of cheap headphones that replaced the more expensive pair that got fractured and then mended with tape is still far inferior for listening than the mended ones. Billy Jo Spears - Blanket On The Ground playing now. That's the song Eileen, our Irish land lady of the pub we went to as teenagers used to play after she'd rung the bell and yelled, 'THANK YOU LADS, PLEASE! TIME NOW!'

12:33 am

Chic, cool shoesies!

12:33 am

ankh - so what is the deal with you & these rodents?

12:33 am

does anyone n=know if Seattle school district will be open for business on Thursday

12:34 am

ti 7

12:34 am

Hi metal, ankh schroeder and helen...

12:34 am

ti9

12:34 am

I needed an animal character -- 12 years ago? -- for an online environment, and I had a hamster at the time -- besides, female hamsters are fierce & territorial! (And go into season every FOURTH DAY, but we needn't discuss that). So that's why the hamsters...

12:35 am

thanks ankh - have been wondering for a while now - every FOURTH day - yikers!

12:36 am

I've always been fond of badgers and wolverines. Even considered trying to draw some Anthro art with them as characters

12:36 am

One look at my first few attempts quickly quashed that misguided notion

12:36 am

Yes; shortest estrous cycle of any mammal. Oh, Metal, if draw Anthro, please please draw some for me!

12:36 am

the results were pitiful

12:36 am

Ah, well, I can't draw either. :)

12:37 am

what's Anthro?

12:37 am

I will keep my eye open for any anthro art with hamsters and let you know where I find it (IF I find any)

12:37 am

thanks ankh - i'll try to remember that for when i'm on millionare

12:37 am

it's art using characters which are animals but drawn with humanoid characteristics

12:38 am

You win, Helen! you'd be good.

12:38 am

the paws look more like hands, etc.

12:38 am

Right, Jilli, it's like... Smokey the Bear, have you ever seen him?

12:38 am

but the critters are still recognizable as animals

12:38 am

ooooh--found that ti 9; is the ti 7 related?

12:38 am

yes -- I see what you mean

12:38 am

yes it's related

12:38 am

It's like any of my hamster cartoons who are standing up wearing dresses and doing gardening; anthro art can be very cartoony, or very realistic.

hi&bye - i'm just here for the icons - hope to be back when daylight returns.

12:39 am

baker um too late for tov?

12:39 am

Melon! I have serious shoe envy!!!

12:39 am

Her husband,as we all knew had left her some time ago. However, her sister, Josie fequented the place with her all to pretty and blonde, 'virgin' daughter. She also brought along Maurice, her almost deaf hubby who was obviously a victim of female viloence in the household. No joke! Poor Maurice who suffered from 'boils in his ears' was obviously a victim of domestic violence.As for Eileen's daughter ( blanket on the ground woman, if you remember). she was a hard-faced false blonde, married to a Scotsman known as BillyMac. He deejayed at my wedding. Me and my other half at that time had grown used to understanding what he said and forot that no one, aside from our pub pals, would know what he was saying. LOL.

12:39 am

ankh - sadly no, a friend & i took the test here about 5 years ago & i didn't even make the first cut!

12:40 am

Porkstore, I live in the South Sound and heard that the school districts are going to run 2 hours late tomorrow.

12:40 am

*consoles Helen, there there there*

12:40 am

hi & bye melon

12:40 am

thank, metal--found it

12:40 am

Jac, was she a suicide blonde, dyed by her own hand?

Oh, that's not my shoe - mine are yellow lo-tops - a bargain at $20 and more comfortable than my Munros costing many times more.

12:41 am

groan, ankh

12:42 am

Much obliged Duff--now I can get some sleep!

12:42 am

Heh, Melon, still lovely. Oh, Jilli, you've heard it before!

12:42 am

Much obliged Duff--now I can get some sleep!

12:43 am

Porkstore,

12:43 am

It's raining like crazy here now and is suppose to freeze during the night. Sleep well.

12:43 am

Ank - Probably so, or by her mother's hand, yes.

12:44 am

yw miranda

12:44 am

Mind you, in those days, I worked in the hair salon that kept the landlady's 60's curved beehive in place.

I told my sis that I'm wearing them on my next (hypothetical) date - - - with a cocktail dress. Might as well show the real me from the get-go - - - he (hypothetical) will either love or hate it...

12:45 am

Secrets tht should not probably be ever revealed.

12:46 am

Years ago a niece wore a huge beehive hairdo and her brother went and got a can of Raid to squirt it with

12:47 am

Lol. jilli. He was not far wrong re the old days!

12:48 am

Something Old, Something New by The Fantastics in my headphones now.

12:48 am

12:51 am

Hi all, power back on - for now at least!

12:51 am

I have no Idea why that posted three times, sorry guys

12:51 am

Blockbuster by \The Sweet in my headphones now. I am sure I have said this before, but if anyone thinks The Sweet were just a 70s glam band, then think again. They were a good rock band, as anyone who has seen them live would testify.

12:51 am

must change icon be right back - power prevailing!

12:52 am

did you lose power, flosey? It dimmed here once or twice but stayed on

12:52 am

hello, Strider!

12:52 am

12:52 am

hi strider and snpp

12:52 am

Well, maybe you really wanna say hi to Snppng, that's all. :) Oh, gosh, Jac, you make me feel so provincial; I haven't a clue who The Sweet are/were.

12:52 am

Hiya, Debb, Strider!

12:56 am

I think I'm gonna make lemonade

12:56 am

12:57 am

Goodnight, Schroeder! Sleep tight!

12:58 am

i have 90 words so far this has to be a big one can someone please tell me just how big?

12:58 am

I know it's a little early, but it's a big puzzle. Any clues for any of the 8 or 9 letters?

12:58 am

280 words

12:58 am

goodnight Schroeder

12:58 am

Thanks snpp, that was one more than I had.

wow, you must be psychic, I had guacamole earlier too :)

In Con Law?

1:01 am

huh? no, when I got home

1:02 am

Con law?

1:02 am

back again - will attempt this grid - just hope power stays on long enough

1:02 am

Oh! Been so busy chatting not even realised new grid had arrived.

Sorry, law nerd talk. We read a case about avacados today.

1:02 am

lol, you just let out the dirty little secret that we are law students

1:02 am

Good luck on the public interest law, Snapping. You first year, or 2L?

1:03 am

We all have things we're ashamed of. Share!

1:03 am

Will look at new grid, methinks, and then sleep on it.

1L and it's only 2 weeks until finals! Yikes! Why am I not studying? Oh yeah, Babble is more important.

1:03 am

Goodnight.

1:04 am

G'night, Jacula, bite tight!

1:04 am

night jac

1:04 am

1L is the worst, it's boot camp. Get through this, and the rest is a breeze.

1:04 am

neap

That's what I hear. Are you a lawyer Ankh?

1:05 am

Turtle, I am r e t i r e d :)

1:05 am

lucky

1:05 am

*I* do not have finals in two weeks! :)

Oh, yay for retirement! I can't wait.

1:06 am

Heh. Strider, what kind of law would you like to practice?

1:06 am

copyright law would b the shot these days i reckon

1:07 am

Certainly a hot field, Bundy.

1:07 am

Not sure. I'd like the job where all you do is drink scotch, smoke cigars, and play golf, but barring that, criminal defense sounds interesting. Criminal law seems more attractive in general right now, but that might just be because of my severe hatred for civil procedure.

1:09 am

*laughs* Oh, yeah. Well. Crim defense, start as a pub defender, maybe get some slack on your loans that way, maybe get a toehold for a political career. I'm more with Turtle, tho, public interest type. OTOH, being a pub defender IS public interest, I'd say.

1:11 am

definitely, and a lot of work from what I hear. I certainly want to do something that will give back. I really have no idea which direction I'm headed now. Politics has always fascinated me. SnppngTrtle and I watched MSNBC for 10 hours straight on the 7th :)

That was fun. Election day is my favorite day of the biennium, especially when I don't have to make GOTV calls.

1:12 am

I'm surprised you two weren't drafted as poll watchers...? The ACLU & similar usually call for law students for that... but wait, is OR all mail-ballots now?

1:13 am

I did most of my campaign work prior to the gotv cruch this year, although I did help with a fundraiser pretty close to election day.

1:13 am

Yes, OR is all mail in. Otherwise I'm sure we would have been out.

1:13 am

In criminal law it is not whether someone in fact committed a crime. The trial is to determine whether the judge or jury says you did or didn't. Innocence or guilt in the real sense is not an issue.

1:13 am

*has suspicions about what happens to mail ballots*

1:14 am

Enemy, is there a better way to do it?

1:14 am

...well, I was pleased with the results at any rate, but your right, election reform is vital.

1:14 am

mo 8/55 evening all

1:14 am

Hello, Ang!

1:15 am

I don't know but after being part of the process for many years I an very cynical

1:15 am

Hi ankh

phantom: anemone

1:15 am

Well, yeah. Me too. But I haven't figured out a better way -- lots of ways to IMPROVE the current way, though, like funding public defenders as much as prosecutors... not true in my state of VA and many, many others.

Enemy, you're right to a point, but in a way it can be good. If guilt or innocense were the only factors then it would be pretty easy for law enforcement to trample on peoples rights any way they could to get a conviction.

evening Angb

1:16 am

Hi metal - how goes it?

1:17 am

Well, ladies, gents, Dear One is threatening a blanket monopoly again... I gotta go defend my share! :)

It's a quiet night here at the hacienda, just me and the cat. He's sleeping and I'm babbling. All in all, a good night

1:17 am

You must fight that tendency ankh - nite

'Night Ankh

1:17 am

bye ankh

Bye Ankh

good nite ankh :)

1:18 am

night

1:18 am

If you are suggesting it is good for the guilty to go free and the innocent get convicted I vehemently disagree.... used to the state had all the resources to convict now the rich buy their way out

phantom: anemone

1:19 am

Sounds good, Metal. Night, all, see you tomorrow -- Strider, Snapper, see you in two weeks! Enemy, don't bait them... they should be studying. :) Sleep tight, all! *POOF*

1:19 am

and to say there is no better way is a copout

calling it a night with 101 Happy babbling All

1:19 am

see ya wilson

1:19 am

bye wilson

1:19 am

that is one of the cons, but you have to see it as a balance. Idealism is all well and good, but there also has to be a check on the power of the state.

1:20 am

I do agree that we should always be looking for ways to improve our justice system

1:20 am

you speak form one never in the trenches

1:20 am

you speak form one never in the trenches

1:20 am

oops, and on that must go, bbl!

1:21 am

that I will admit. I will not claim experience I don't have

1:21 am

Strider - that sounds like a copout. We need people who are not shy of idealism - that will continue to look for new ways to solve old problems.

1:21 am

I'm not trying to cop-out, just suggesting that there are two sides

1:22 am

Good luck Strider ... idealism is good!

phantom: pituitary

1:23 am

Didn't I preface my statement with that?

1:23 am

phantom: inventory

ah 17 left - gonna head to the list

1:24 am

Perhaps I was just suggesting that there are different ideals... and on that note I'll take the hint and stop talking about this :)

1:27 am

It's been interesting Strider.

1:28 am

More interesting that my homework, which I must now go back to.

1:29 am

hi everyone

wb snpp

1:54 am

vi + choo choo

1:54 am

blom - vi + Orient Express

oooh, Buffy's on this time of night?

I don't think so. We have the DVDs.

1:55 am

wow..such tough decisions at this time of night.

ti9/54

hi mr p

I know!

I'm envious...

1:56 am

hi mr p

1:56 am

i just had my usual sub-par breakfast.

oh well, I'll watch History Channel and learn about mushroom farming

Did everything have shrimp on it?

mmmmmm mushrooms...

sub par, Blood? what did you have?

1:57 am

ha..no shrimps..but the eggs were cold.

1:58 am

metal..cold eggs, no bread, hard pasteries, pulpy orange juice.

1:58 am

but the tea was delicious

yay! finished it up - good luck all

nothing wrong with pulpy juice, but cold eggs, ewwww

1:59 am

cheers maniac!

congrats mitch!

1:59 am

ha...yea. and to top it off, i put too much salt on them.

maybe next time leave the eggs and soak the hard pastry in the pulpy juice.

mmmmm tea...

2:01 am

hahahaha...that sounds NASTY! the eggs are usually hit-or-miss. today, i was one of the very first there, so the eggs had been uncovered for some time.

good strong tea.

2:03 am

mint tea...soooo good over here.

2:03 am

good evening almost morning everyone!!!!

ooooh, yum. I like a nice Darjeeling myself.

mmm yes, mint tea, with too much sugar to be healthy

2:04 am

i like earl gray, simple and tasty!

2:05 am

that's right metal..it's almost syrup! mmmmmm

earl gray's good. do you take it with milk, lemon, or plain?

2:06 am

plain, tho if there is fresh cream there i will try it (but how often does that happen?)

very true

I'm fond of herbal teas also

2:06 am

my hubby likes all these bizarre teas, Roibos and white tea and black tea and etc. To me they all taste like HAY.

Sugar!? In tea!? I guess I'm a purest.

I like hot tea sweetened, but prefer iced tea plain or with lemon

2:07 am

my fav of late has been verviene in milk instead of water...but i'm finding out the hard way that I'm lactose intolerant.

2:08 am

what is verviene?

verviene?

2:08 am

i do love just plain iced tea (brewed, not that instant powdery crap)

Oh no! Could it just be the dairy in Morocco though?

2:09 am

i'm not exactly sure, other than it's an herbal tea.

I finally got "brave" and tried chai..........

2:10 am

i think the problem is unexposure. i think i don't ingest enough dairy and my body is losing the enzymes.

2:10 am

I use lactose-free milk or you can put drops in regular milk or cream or whatever

some varieties I like and others are ickkkkkkk

I've not heard of that Blood.

2:10 am

chai is too complicated for me =) i like simple flavors. My not-so-secret addiction is actually coca-cola

2:10 am

i LOVE chai...

oh yes, if i could mainline Coca Cola I'd have a shunt put in

2:11 am

regular orange pekoe for me -- strong with milk and sugar

Oh, that happened to me when I went vegan, BA. Thankfully it was only temporary.

2:11 am

and now to bed with 105 words found -- good night all and good hunting!

2:11 am

i can't stand diet coke or any pepsi besides mtn dew!

2:12 am

was it hard to go vegan snppngtrtle?

And chai is yummy. My one exception to the no milk/sugar rule.

goodnight jilli, pleasant dreams

2:12 am

I don't like any fizzy sweet drinks

2:12 am

i hope it's the same with me ana...i don't know what i would do without ice cream.

2:12 am

night jili

Diet Coke is disgusting but if one must ingest a diet drink, Diet Dr. Pepper is not altogether putrid

Yeah, it was no fun. I love cheese too much, although I still can't bring myself to drink milk.

"Nite Jili

2:13 am

yuck...time to get ready for class...

snppng, would you mind explaining the difference in vegan and vegetarian?

2:14 am

yeah, diet dr. pepper is acceptable. diet mtn dew isn't hideous

2:14 am

bye all...good luck..

poor Blood

Bye Blood

2:14 am

i don't have the discipline to be a vegan (see also: coca cola addiction)

true, for a diet drink, it's acceptable.

Bye BA! Have fun in class!

anyone have the first ye 5,14

Vegan is no animal products whatsoever, so no dairy, eggs, meat, gelatin, sometimes even honey. Vegetarian is just no meat, poultry, or fish.

oops the second one

2:15 am

alrighty i am going to concentrate on getting 100 words and then go to bed before 1am

2:16 am

my bro-in-law is the most arrogant vegetarian i've ever met. i want to smack him. i want to smear bacon grease on his tooth brush. KIDDING

I can appreciate the motivation for becoming vegetarian, but why go beyond that to vegan? (not trying to be confrontational, just curious)

2:18 am

ye 5/14 - thinks it's a yiddish term. To wish for + abbrev for thanks

2:18 am

well some people feel eating dairy/eggs/etc still exploits animals, plus lots of natural resources are required to sustain that sort of food production

2:18 am

hello everyone

hi lynxxx

2:19 am

Hi lynxxx

2:19 am

ye5/14 - gossip

Yeah, that about sums it up kierlex.

ty snppng, and kierlex

2:21 am

but some staunch vegans still wear leather shoes/clothes. this perplexes me.

that does seem as if they're giving mere lip service to the ideal

The folks I know that are vegan will wear leather if they purchased it before going vegan. Otherwise it just goes to waste.

Having said all that, though, if cows weren't milked they'd end up in agony from swollen udders, so by milking them, we're easing suffering, which is an argument made by some vegetarians.

2:24 am

my aggravating brother in law (now, he is not annoying because he is veg, he is just annoying) will lecture you about rennet in gelatin but is a purveyor of all things birkenstock

2:25 am

well, to each their own... but i love being an omnivore

Perhaps the key is to accept someone's intent and to view their actions through the lens of intention rather than outcome alone

Me too kier, with heavy emphasis on "carni"

2:26 am

Aren't some people vegan or vegetarian at least inpart for health reasons? A veggie-based diet has a lot more fiber and vitamins and a lot less of the nasty kinds of fat than a meat-based diet.

Yeah, that's kind of weird, kierlex. I try not to by leather, but I will knit with wool yarn. There's just some things I'm not willing to give up.

*buy

2:27 am

well wool is an extremely renewable/sustainable resource. beats synthetic stuff

good point jan. i've been trying to incorporate more legumes and grain into the diet my sweetie and I follow ... but there's still a preponderance of meat

2:28 am

We have friends who raise sheep who think the sheep are a lot more comfy once shorn in the summer

"baby steps", I suppose, are better than no steps at all in the right direction

2:29 am

also you can make a positive impact on local economies/enviro by trying to buy local (like think of how many miles your tomato has travelled if it came from Mexico in January)...

Yay, happy sheep!

2:29 am

Okay, it's getting late for me. I'm down to 50 and still have 12 of the 7's hiding from me!!

2:29 am

all this talk of food makes me hungry. and i never crave veggies, it's always salty junk food!

mmmmmm salty junk food...

2:30 am

Me too. Somehow I never find myself saying, "Mmm...let's sneak out to the ktichen and snack on a rutabaga."

chips, salty chips

2:31 am

What is a rutabaga?

2:31 am

I think they're also called swedes. They're a pale orange kind of turnip.

2:32 am

and salty junk food WITH PLENTY OF MELTED CHEESE (slightly crisped/burnt)

2:32 am

I can see why you would not snack on one

2:32 am

lol Angb!

2:33 am

Chocolate coated almonds ...

mmmmm melted cheese...

2:33 am

Aren't they good for you? Almonds are supposed to be heart healthy and dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants.

2:34 am

Yippee - that's what I like to hear ... and so is wine if you read the right research LOL

2:34 am

I am set! I eat healthy

2:34 am

Now just wash them down with a glass of red wine and feel virtuous...

2:34 am

Now just wash them down with a glass of red wine and feel virtuous...

2:35 am

Hah...stuttertyped. sorry

2:35 am

It was worth saying twice though.

2:35 am

i really swear by the 'All things in moderation' tenet. But modify it to "All things--except Coca Cola--in moderation"

2:35 am

BTW, snppngtrtle, is Portland getting freezing rain?

2:36 am

I know - I don't drink Coke - unless it has bourbon in it.

yesss, crispy cheese

good way to do it is to put thin slices or shreds of cheese in the microwave (in a glass dish) and just nuke it 'til it's bubbling like crazy. then take it out and let it cool. it gets crisp and you don't have to heat up the oven or use the stove top

It wasn't earlier, but I've heard it is supposed to later tonight.

2:38 am

hmm, metal, that sounds positively delish

That sound's awesome metal!

2:39 am

wow, 37 T words from the center. i just noticed that.

word to the wise, don't use a plastic dish, the oils in the cheese will melt, or at the very least warp, the dish

(voice of experience speaking here. there's a rubbermaid dish in my cabinet that will never be the same since the great parmesan toasting incident a couple of years ago)

2:41 am

morning all.....ti9 please?

good morning Flask

the ti9 relates to the ti7

2:42 am

Hi Metal

2:42 am

don't have that either

2:42 am

ti9 - boob + war time food doling out.

2:43 am

sorry!...:(

2:43 am

Both buid on the t/5/10

the ti7 means to determine the concentration of a liquid

2:43 am

thankyou Diane!!

2:44 am

YW Flask

2:44 am

Good morning all - a nice sized grid today.

2:45 am

Morning Haz!

good morning Haz

2:45 am

meteleather, i dont get the clue. morning haz

2:46 am

Think of it as three letters (type of bird) then six letters indicating portion

Dianne's clue's a very good one but if that doesn't work for you, try: slang word for breast + rodent + charged particle

2:48 am

ok, must take myself to bed. gnite all

'night kier, sleep well

2:49 am

Nite kierlex

'nite kierlex

2:49 am

Good night kierlex.

2:50 am

reny

2:50 am

oops

2:50 am

cursed playbabble...i should be studying for my quiz which is in 46 minutes

2:51 am

And yet you are here..... Good morning!

2:51 am

Hi Haz

2:51 am

i am...morning haz!

I suppose we could all ignore you, not chat with you but that would not make you study.

Ha! Babble ruins yet another otherwise good student!

2:52 am

this is true metal, and it would probably make me cry.

2:52 am

Bloodaxe - hope it's not worth much - this quiz

Bloodaxe, I've got a contract law seminar in just oer an hour - and it's gonna take me 20 minutes to get there. I'm still not dressed properly!

well, we don't want you to cry. that would be disastrous after such a pitiful breakfast

2:53 am

I read somewhere that you shouldn't cram the day of an exam anyway.

2:53 am

on the plus side, for the scholastic, i've been listening to NewsHour podcasts the whole time i've been playing.

Are you a law student Maverick?

2:54 am

thanks for supporting my addiction everyone..hahaha

Yeah. My mid-sessional exams in contract and property are in 2 weeks!

2:55 am

What university?

2:55 am

metaleather, i get the clues but nothing wants to come up

Northumbria. I'm on the exempting law degree - the only one in the UK where, at the end I qualify as an advocate.

My contracts and property exams are in two weeks as well.

2:56 am

Ah, so quite far north then? In terms of England, that is.

blom, do you mean you get a message in the chat log saying the word was not accepted?

Scary.

2:57 am

Yello

hello Jen

Newcastle. Tis a wondrous city!

2:57 am

and a wonderful Beer!

2:58 am

Oh yes. But sunderland uni's better :P

2:58 am

blombol. Do you have the ti5/10, relating to concentration of liquids (it has the same structure as a measurement of liquid). If you have ra6/18 relating to portion/allowance of food, then try to combine the two.

Sunderland Uni? Pfft... People drop out of Northumbria to go there...

2:59 am

i dont have the ti 5/10

2:59 am

Hehe :)

2:59 am

Good clue for the ti5/10 thanks Haz. Morning all

2:59 am

Any clue for the ar6? I have the one that is the painter.

2:59 am

Then, if you find it, your troubles will be over!. As I said, it has the same structure as the unit of measurement roughly equal to 2 pints.

2:59 am

There see to be a number of law students babbling. Is it because law is really boring OR is it to learn words that people don't understand (laugh)

3:00 am

i think the law students are only here when it's too late/too early to start drinking.

Mostly the latter, Angb.

3:00 am

nevermind...found it...

good morning FMitch

3:01 am

That's a cheering thought, Bloodaxe.

3:01 am

Aaah - of course didn't think of that Bloodaxe

So true, Bloodaxe. We're all just here to party.

Law's really interesting. One of my lecturers seems to have a rape/cheese fetish. Don't ask me how. We're only on here because we're students!

3:01 am

Hi metal, that is one heck of a boot in your incon!

3:01 am

Good morning FMItch! The gales are beginning to blow here.

And Bloodaxe, it's never too early to start drinking for law students!

3:01 am

Because Northumbria is crap. And 'cause the Brown Ale in YOUR union is rancid. As is the lager. And yes, it's too early to start drinking. Although roll on 9 o'clock and my half litre of vodkat :P

3:01 am

thanks guys got it. cant remember who gave me the clue about the charged particle cos it aint in there

3:01 am

rape/cheese? is that anything like the economist butter/guns fetish?

3:01 am

Hi Haz, I saw on the Beeb that you are in for some heavy weather today.

it is indeed. now when I find the one to wear it, we'll be set

3:02 am

Oh yes it is, three letters at the end.

3:02 am

It's batten down the hatches time. No rain yet.

depends on the type of particle you look for blom

3:02 am

Windy as anything this far north though

Jen, MY union had Pat Sharp and Fun House. And Matt Willis, drunk as a skunk.

3:03 am

ooohhhhh..."Supreme Court arguemtents about global warming"...i think I may have to miss my quiz....

3:03 am

Pat SHarp pre or post haircut?

8 words to go before I make the half way mark and allow myself to go to the list today

Yes, that should be an interesting case, BA.

3:04 am

Oh my Haz that has conjured up an image, that mullet!

Post, I'm afraid. Was just the other week. He did, however, bring the go-karts.

3:04 am

have you been looking at it?

3:04 am

It was a VERY strange mullet.

It's been the talk of the school lately.

3:05 am

cool. it's the subject of the NewsHour podcast that I just started.

NIce, I might have to get that. I can't wait to finally take some environmental law classes.

3:07 am

He brought the go karts? I have his autograph on my 'random nonsense' wall.

3:07 am

i hope it's soon banana...i just hope you don't get burned out on the issue like i did...although I guess you've been at it for quite a bit longer than i had before i started to stop caring.

Yes, he did. And dang, Jen, I'm coming over yours to worship it!

3:08 am

FMitch - have you found the birthmarks? n4 and n5.

Second year... so near, yet so far away.

3:09 am

just think about how sweet it will be when you finally get there....aaahhhhhh

3:09 am

TY Haz - and hello

hey haz, do you have any clues on ne 4/7, not getting the whole birthmark thing

3:16 am

hello FM

ne4/7 n * + L * * * Strauss brand jeans

3:17 am

mo6/24 is the maternal figure. Change one vowel to get a scots word for 'bother'

3:18 am

blombol - the ne4 birthmark - an anagram for the plant where grapes are grown. The word ends in a vowel.

3:19 am

One you have the ne4, add in a vowel for na5/16

3:19 am

love love love the ti9!

3:19 am

Haz mo6.24 ...there a wealth of words ending in those 4 letters - seems like you can just about put anything in front of them

I must be off. 'Night everyone!

3:20 am

Ata, why how nice to see you! I thought you were working this morning :)

3:20 am

Done for tonight. 36 left, and still six pesky 7's among them.

Just adore that pic of Hobbit, the expression on her face is priceless!

3:22 am

silly dog! that was yesterday, I looked round in the car and there she was!

3:23 am

I'm disappointed that the ao won't cooperate to give us 'heart' words, but there are eye parts to compensate. re6/18, re7/28

3:24 am

Haz you said a word!!!

3:24 am

Blast - just realised....

3:25 am

Cardiac, I should have said..

3:25 am

but thanks for the r clues

3:26 am

You're welcome!

3:27 am

hi all! it figures the day i start late, it's a biggie.

3:27 am

hey atalante, any clues on the ti9/54?

3:27 am

But are you not glad to see a bigger total? Hello FranMag!

3:27 am

Hi Fran - best get your skates on

hi Fran

3:27 am

(We've obviously failed miserably on the ti9)

3:28 am

hi haz! hi lynxxx!

3:28 am

Hey Fran!!! it is a big one, too much for me today.

3:28 am

hi ml!

3:28 am

hi fmitch! so are you just watching?

3:28 am

what a man in WW2 who liked breasts would want each day *grin*

3:29 am

Using lickeys game so I don't screw up my ranking

3:29 am

And I thought an ar6 would come up with something delicate.

3:29 am

cool fmitch

3:30 am

well I thought of explaining chemically then realised most people would get a breast related thing quicker :P

3:30 am

are you talking about the person who likes to paint haz?

finally! half way mark so I can go to Lickety's

3:30 am

Ah but an ar6 paints a vivid picture

3:30 am

I am - Atalante is one.

3:30 am

ok got that one already

3:31 am

ti9 hee hee

3:31 am

hey georgi, any clues for the ti 9, im clueless

3:32 am

ata, does it build off the ti7/28? or is it a form of it?

back in a bit, need a caffeine replenishing break

3:32 am

nvm, got it! thanks, perfect clue

3:33 am

blombol - if you can't get a word keep a note of the clues and move on, there are 279 other words to be found. Or you can use www.a2z.com

3:33 am

blombol - try going onto other words and coming back to the ti9. Or try www.morewords.com as well.

3:33 am

blom, look at ata's clue. perfect!

3:35 am

phantom: titian

http://www.jockanddeb.com/cgi-bin/scra bblequery.cgi

is also a good resource

3:37 am

Speaking of WW2 (a while ago, admittedly) there's a shifty sp4/8 lurking

3:37 am

sp4/8 - the kind of guy who'd want a ti9

3:38 am

Exactly!

3:38 am

an7/32 good one from Haz.

3:38 am

sp4.8 is also an american word for what sales assitants get for large $ sales

3:38 am

You're welcome!

3:39 am

thanks haz, didn't know that word

3:40 am

thanks guys the brain is starting to warm up

3:40 am

I'm not sure where it originated but the Private Walker character in Dad's Army is a good example of one.

hello everyone!

3:41 am

Morning all, typical a big grid and I am not going to have alot of time today to finish!!

3:41 am

Hello mrpresident - nice to see you!

thanks ml! what a weird word

4:29 am

You were more diligent than I, Fran, as I threw up my hands in despair after Googling "define:to6/18" yielded no results...

it's medical in nature, relating to the inner portion of the abdomen

that is the om word is medical in nature

4:31 am

5:37 am

5:37 am

how on earth would you walk in it though? ty for the clue fran

5:39 am

hey guys struggling with the last ye5/14, NOT the word describing that you want something so badly. and also NOT the word where the first three is the currency of japan

5:39 am

yw kth

well, I wouldn't be the one walking. WEG. I'd be the one holding the key to that lock

5:39 am

blombol, there are two that both mean gossipy woman in yiddish

5:39 am

lol

5:40 am

just change last letter

5:40 am

Blobbel - struggle a bit more with the end of the currency one

blom, it's almost the same as the one with the currency beginning. only the last letter differs

5:41 am

thanks got it

5:41 am

Blobbel ?! I think that is Blombol struggling with Babble - sorry Blombol

and as for the shoes........ I might even be evil enough to fasten the pair together with a short length of chain

a light, delicate yet sturdy chain

5:42 am

lol metal, remind me not to stop by your house...

I'm actually quite tame at home.

5:43 am

its fine, i know who you are talking to. blombol is an afrikaans word, so i would think a lot of babblers will not get the word completely

5:43 am

metal - you had better hold that imagination in check! its going to get you into trouble.

LOL@myself for being more bark than bite

5:44 am

what does it mean blombol

as long as I'm careful not to be the one wearing the shoes, I should be fairly safe.

5:46 am

blom is flower and bol is ball. so its flowerball. i got it from an afrikaans soapie. there was nothing else, smithie was taken

5:47 am

It's a nice word though, I like it

5:47 am

Mornin' Babblers - you could have tried Egoli, Blombol!

5:48 am

Hi Sugar

5:56 am

does anybody have the ro 8/55

here's the url for the society Ata, it'll explain it much better than I could. http://www.redhatsociety.com/

6:06 am

6:06 am

"motheaten" not in the dictionary, lol

6:07 am

the first 6 letters are the same for each word

6:07 am

thanks enemy

6:07 am

hey enemy, got the very last sp 5/12 above sp 4/8

6:08 am

sorry, blombol, I don't

blom, there's a saying which goes as follows: don't cut off your nose to sp5/12 your face

if that doesn't work for you, try adding a vowel to the end of the sp4/5

ty Enemy, your clue enabled my monkeys to find the word

6:11 am

got that one metal

6:11 am

6:12 am

6:15 am

Hi Peri and hello to all you happy Babblers... just logged on to find a bigger grid today.. wahoo..

6:16 am

omen

6:16 am

hi aloy! nice begining!

6:16 am

ooh, sorry... going to my corner now to lurk.. (-:

ro8......... describing something as ro8 lets us know is relates to ro6/18........ and is twisty/turny

6:16 am

i agree blood, oooooooooh you said a word!!!!!!!

6:16 am

hello Aloy, Peri

about a singular point

good morning Aloy

6:17 am

dang it, again?!

6:17 am

Goo day, Babblers. A big grid finally.

6:17 am

ty metal

hi Scrabbler

yw kt

6:17 am

hey scrabbler.

6:17 am

hi scrabbler

6:18 am

Hi Scrabbler

6:18 am

metal, i dont get the clue about ro 8

hmmm, let me try again

is you say describe, then say something is descriptive......

6:19 am

ro 8--- someone who uses his hands a lot in speaking is very demons******* (have to eliminate a consonant before the first vowel)

extrapolate from that and apply the principle to ro6 and ro8

6:20 am

thanks metal and Enemy

6:20 am

cle for ti9 please

6:21 am

are the 2 mo8s related, I have the value one

6:21 am

peri it's something you learn in chemistry class

yw peri

6:22 am

well, kthdsn, I didn't learn much in chemistry class,

6:22 am

oh dear lol

6:22 am

but I got the ti9 anyway, thanks kthdsn

6:23 am

oh good

6:23 am

need the 2nd mo8, have the $ one

6:23 am

me too

6:25 am

mo8 - the second - get the mo7.32 immed after the cash one - the person that looks after something - and then add the same cons as the other

6:25 am

kthdsn, the consonants for both mo 8/s are the same ... change the second and third vowels to get the second one

6:26 am

ty both of you

6:26 am

Ack, this is a toughie. Coffee time, and soon have to go. :(

6:28 am

TY--I got the mo8's, and th ti8, but those ro clues went past me.

6:28 am

thanks lynxxx and Enemy

6:28 am

Opps, that was a ti9.

6:28 am

6:41 am

Well, I have an in7 obviously, but am still looking for in8 and in9.

6:41 am

I am glad you got my clue, Lori. :)

6:41 am

Scrabbler - don't thinkk those exist - it7 & it9 ?

6:41 am

had to think long and hard :P

6:42 am

Well, I am clearly quite confused without the list. Time to look at that.

6:43 am

it7.28 means to emphasise or spell out or repeat

6:43 am

OK, it7 and it9---**searching furiously for long words**

6:45 am

it 7/28 it 9/72 and it 5/12 do exist ... however I do not have any of them

7:04 am

rntre

7:04 am

the other e from the bottom is probably en7.44 - and I think it will have something to do with assisted conception - maybe clutching at straws though

7:04 am

wherever it comes from I can't see it

That would be an in word, I think.

7:05 am

10:06 am

haz, i appeal to you, if you are nameless, do you or do you not suffer from anomia?

10:06 am

I have never been diagnosed with such a condition but I shall look it up to see if I have the symptoms.

10:07 am

anomia is definitely a word. must be.

10:07 am

sorry, should have said "one" not "you"

10:08 am

Do you clean Windows XP with emonia?

10:08 am

it IS a word.

10:08 am

If it is a word, the dictionary (mine, admittedly flawed) does not yield a meaning.

10:08 am

lol tor

10:09 am

anomia - the inability to name objects or to recognize the written or spoken names of objects. Afternoon all

10:09 am

Haz, can you clue the en7 again? Maybe put a little twist on it?

"a form of aphasia in which the patient is unable to recallthe names of everyday objects"

10:09 am

10:10 am

10:10 am

LOL I don't know. For once dictionary.com recognised a word and has the def!

10:10 am

I've heard anomia associated with stroke victims.

10:10 am

I'm sure anomia has been allowed before

10:10 am

en7/44 - en plus the word for snake poison.

10:10 am

well it isn't allowed today.

Hursh, th ep 7 - ep + you can get ** on Ebay + little yard statues gn***s

Yup, I rented a house and our AC broke, roof leaked and fried computer, and toilet had a crack and flooded house. Landlord didn't fix, I had to buy a new toilet and pay for $1,000 in AC repair. I took the dang toilet when I moved out!!!

12:47 pm

good for you bunny! we definitely don't run our buildings like that thankfully!!! hehehe

12:47 pm

Jee, if you have the ro6, extrapolate from that. Make it an adjective

4:53 pm

HI METAL! HEY RAE!

4:53 pm

Jee - it extends the circulating ro6. Remove the final vowel and use the holly counterpart (almost)

ro8: build up the 6/18 before it

5:54 pm

There's a to6/21 - add a letter to the carrier (to5/10)

5:54 pm

I don't think I use that word much in every day life

5:54 pm

5:55 pm

mkl - Juliet's love

5:55 pm

te5/10 - is the singular. Begins with a number, finishes with vowels

6:02 pm

sorry firefly it is so hard to clue!

6:02 pm

thinking...

6:02 pm

Any clues for the ne 4/7?

6:02 pm

it7 - it means to emphasise, usually preceded by re. it plus US medical drama, consumed food

6:02 pm

firefly, do you have the it 7? then work on it from there

6:02 pm

it9 a lot like ro8

6:02 pm

ne4/7 - ne plus the possibility word (two letters)

6:03 pm

ne + no **s ands or buts

6:03 pm

it is the adjectival form of the it7

6:04 pm

For the it 9 - take off the last letter of the it7 and replace with the three letter sequence used in mo6/30 (the reason for doing something)

thnx...mo 5/16..pls

6:04 pm

6:04 pm

mo5/16 - make the mo4/5 before it into an adjective

6:05 pm

that ending is tricky!

6:05 pm

Thank you for the great ne 4/7 clues...I am afraid it is actually the na 4/7 that I need...any clues there?

6:05 pm

But it's used a lot today, so it's useful.

6:06 pm

It's the same two letters that are added for the na4/7.

6:06 pm

Thank you so much! That is finally fireworks for me!
