hi harpjane, addy, miranda
hello all
mine is too
hi Kate
hi, metal--everyone
hiya metal :)
lots of emeralds here, I see!
thanks to everyone who provides clues here. it almost always helps me get at least most of the grid done each day. i rarely talk in here, but i love to follow the chat :)
hiya Metal - remembered your sh5
me too addy!!
hey volley :) i think there are a lot of lurkers lol
May is a very good month, jilli!
jillibus, mine is actually a peridot. August's birthstone
LOL addy; I'm just not good enough yet to play and chat like others do... maybe someday
addy -- thought it was a slightly different colour
Hi all - I have no idea what my birthstone is - anyone else have a birthday in March?
i'm with ya, Volley. been playing boggle forever. and now babble. I have a heck of a time seeing words. my brain just doesn't work that way lol...but i do love the game!
march is aquamarine ;)
Oh that's nice - bluish - my fav colour
love aquamarine
"MARCH BIRTHSTONE - AQUAMARINE. The gemstone aquamarine is the blue, or perhaps more correctly, blue-green or aqua variety of the mineral beryl"
i love google!
me too (also checked it)
Thanks all - and you should visit the chatlog more addy - at least catch up with us and tell us hello! It's nice to "meet" you
I think aquamarine is quite fitting for a Pisces, actually. Which is what i am, March 2nd.
my birthstone is sapphire, but diamonds are nice LOL
thanks, Ang :) very nice to meet you too!
late flip
Really DBR - I am March 10th. Love being a piscean - get off on two fish swimming in opp directions - seems to typify me quite well
emeralds are also a form of beryl
hubby was a Pisces -- Feb 28
yw addy. I play on a number of sites - but this is the place I have a chat - just such nice people.
my birthston is diamond, but that means i never get REAL birthstone jewelry because it's too expensive
LOL Kate - must work harder on significant others.
jill, i'm trying to see yours up close, but i'm still seeing your icon from yesterday. any idea how to fix that?
I don't get emeralds either!
addy -- refresh!
addy -- the F5 key will refresh the page
i have. about 5 times now
i
oops i'll keep trying!
strange!
what is December's birthstone?
I'm with Addytewd...I help when ia can but love to read the chats..from the usual morning routine (7am)to sometimes late at night (tonight!). Starting to re=cognize names! I am a LEO.
thanks nan, didn't know that. i always use the mouse to refresh. still no change with jill's icon. oh well lol
December is blue topaz
hiya Read :) i rarely get finished until just before the flip. lol
ty didn't know that; my hubby's birthday was yesterday
3 Christmases ago I hoped a box from husband to find a card that read Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday (60) and Happy Anniversary (40) -- the box contained an emerald bracelet ---- wow! what a surprise!
wonderful surprise!
*opened
oh nice, nan! emeralds are beautiful!
addy -- here's what my icon is about -- The Gachala Emerald is one of the largest emeralds in the world at 858 carats. This stone was found in 1967 at La Vega de San Juan mine in Gachalá, Colombia.
Nan - what a man - do you want to lend him out?
that's a great gift!
I'm Pisces, with moon in Taurus and Cancer rising
i'll have to go look it up to see it up close, jill. thanks! very interesting. :)
Never been to Nebraska, Addytewd, but my 3 college roommates are gheadint to Canada to celebrate our 6oth birthdays next summer. (40 miles north of Quebec).
think I'll keep him for a while longer, ang
just google Gachala Emerald, addy
that'll be fun, Read ... hope you have a great trip :)
i only have one K :(
done, Jill lol
I need to checkmy typing before sending...Canada is for Cybernan!
seem to have hit a wall here after a ripping start!
Reaqd -- where exactly in Quebec? (I used to live near Montreal)
rip it up and start over
I only have 1 K, too; the usual suspects aren't there. there is a t 7
i have 3 KIs so far
i also only have one k, hmm...
no khan today -- sorry, hurshy!
I have the f8
I have 2
saw your icon in wikipedia, Jill. beautiful green!
cybernan: heading to St FerreolLes Niges. I've been to vancouver, Toronto many times, Montreal a coupld and PEi...love Canada!
got 4
if there are horseshoes, why not foalshoes?
the poor kids are going barefoot
there is also an f 7 and an l 7
i wanted feepay to be a word, but no such luck
ooh I found the f8
it's emerald for me also :)
with all these emeralds around, do we have any duplicate birthdays? -- mine is the 14th
Oops...jillibus...that message was for you regarding my Canadien vacation!
Read -- that's St Fereol des Neiges -- neiges means snows.
nan -- mine's the 17th
i cannot find words now for love or money
really...I've been to Quebec city several times, but this time is for the "girls" and we intend to have a great week. Any recommendations?
how many do you have, hurshy?
129
that isn't very much after this long
you're way aheady of me -- only have 90
Just "have a great time and go to some of those great restaurants"
yes but maniac mitch probably has 175
17, he he
Hurshy, you should write "Babble for Dummies". I only have 45 and I thought I was doing pretty good!
a word! i got a word!
jillibus...ty...we will. I need to do some serious babbling now. limited time tomorrow. Have a great day everyone!
i have 77
TTFN, read!
I have only 75
'night RKB
I have just 65 and still can't find the 8
I typed the 8 without realizing it
clue on the 8?
it's an fi (the 8)
when you get it there will be a sense of it being over...
the 8 builds on fi5/16
the fi 8 - a bit like fireworks on Babble
any k or y clues that people want to toss about would be welcome
I don't even have the f7!
f7 unrelated to f8 although has many of same letters
three of the y's extend on your mouth
Oh--got the 8!
good nite metalleather...ty for help yesterday - it was an interesting day.
one k is like the number game, the other and its plural mean to ask a paradoxical question to induce meditation from Zen Buddhism
ki 4/8 - NZ maori name for sea urchin - hope that helps (haha)
good golly miss molly
got the buddhist one, muse--thanks
another k is the New Guinea coin
I have a k4 that is plural for relative, and another 4 by changing the last letter to a vowel
better clue for the 8
i now have 3 ki4/8's
hurshy you now have 1 more than me.
think I need a kofee
me too but the buddhist one escapes me
What about eye liner? lo
*that is a ko
slin
i also got 2 of the 3 y's that were mentioned :)
Got the eyeliner--thanks. I have 1 k left
thanks for the eyeliner clue
eyeliner? buddist questions? i am such an ignoramus about everything
yw
there are 3 ki and 4 kos
oh good then i know i need ko's
eyeliner rhymes with a fuel
the first 2 ki only differ in the last letter vowel
so , anyone done yet? i'm going to start NOW
koal? won't go.
different spelling hursh
not me helen - i'm kinda zoning
Chahge the 3rd letter hurshy - a little strange
I'm missing a ki--must be the maori sea urchin. I have a maori family next door--probably shouldn't wake them.
I'll race you, helen!
egyptian eyeliner
hursh, right word, different spelling
what Egyptians used
like the store
hursh - go up, not down. It only rhymes -- not spelt the same
like jack sparrow and i wear
oh! that is a department store, too!
I'll race you mama!!
The maori one is the second ki -
hi mrp!
first row is gray
hi ya ren!
i'll paddle the canoe while you guys race
hey everyone, little silver has come around!!
'night all, happy Babbling
so then, are the other two ko's the buddhist ones?
hi msilver
yes hursh
Better sort out some food - see you all later.
Hey, My mom got bored so I came on
Tosses MAMABEAR a light to see through the grey
bye Ang
hi little silver!
I still need 2 ko's
thanks enemy!
hursh I could give ya another clue but it will probably be too obvious
do it anyway mymuse
you put ice cream in a
hurshy will close her eyes
ending is same as the Arc woman
like that? :)
I am almost done
me too, jilli -- some buddhist word I think
:)
Jilli !!!! I missed you
I have that ko and the eyeliner -- what are the other 2 about?
NO!!!!! *hunting faster*
goodness, mrp!!!
jilli , make them plurals
where have you been, little silver?
school =[
so much work!!!!!
Oh foo

there was a huge fight between two seventh graders on friday!! very very scary
2 1/2 rows gray

why were they fighting?
hair gel

just a few more A's... will catch you chic!!!!
the A's will get you every time........
there are a lot of P's!
somebody has a big problem, silver, and it's not to do with hair gel
My best friend witnessed all of this!
the c's are usually my bother, but non tonight!! yaya
I want tilapia to be there
they must have figured, if bush could start a war over nonexistent WMD's, honest to goodness hair gel was certainly worth at least a fight :P
why an I slow tonight? quite a slam
yesh
**yeah
hurshy
do you know when bush was first talking about invading iraq, and france was against it, i actually overheard people in walmart saying we should bomb france!
ahhh!!! I wish we could stop all this world
don't go there hurshy
canada got snubbed, too, for not joining in
give it up hurshy
i really did hear people say that in walmart, i am not kidding.
100
how ya doin, mrp?
I mean come on, why are we fighting? can't we just forget about it
I had tilapia for dinner tonite, Mama..
not the place for politics
silver -- how's you kitty Sasha?

well that's just dandy
I like fish -- what kind is it? Oh wait, I guess I could google it
*showing up VERY late for the flip* So, Hello, all! Hi, Mr. P. :)
Hi ankh
randy dandy sandy pyjamy
Ankh! Trader Joes' has no shortage...
hi ank!!
hi ank!
hi ank
tilapia is delicious, yumm, now i'm hungry
I think I went to school with a boy by that name, mrp
hey ankh
lol
they serve tilapia w/ cajun spices here - oh yum yum!
hey chic... how many left!! ???
yummy yummy!!!!!!!!!!
LOL mama!!
called him randansanamy for short
it's really good "breaded" with fine coconut, powdered lemon zest, salt and pepper, and a small amount of bread crumbs, then baked at 350 for 20 minutes.
oh I've been talking; 8 to go! hurry up, you guys...
ooooooo nan, sounds so good!
So, for my edification, who is in charge of the chat?
chic!! we are level babe!!
Gracious, hello back, what a large and good crowd tonight!
we all are, enemy.... but we all answer ultimately to Dr. God
Enemy why would you even ask that?
8? I have 6
im here happy
i'll volunteer - i'll be in charge of the chat
CHARGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAMA!! you go girl!!
ashlye
Or, more to the point, who decides what topic is appropricate for the chat?
feel really dumb tonight -- just don't seem to be able to find the words -- are you people who are almost finished using a list?
we vote
hooott
hooott
Oh, hey, Helen, congrats on your one year anniversary!
again - i'll be glad to take that role, what is it that mike myers says as babs streisand - 'discuss among yourselves'
and who decided a vote is appropriate?
thanks ankh!!
almost......
we vote on a vote
oh chic!! you nearly done???
almost....
I have 188 left...
may i 2nd that vote on a vote?
you go ankh!!!
I see your second and raise you a dollar
Snap ankh - same here
go chic go chic go chic go chic go!
So, someone arbitrarily makes decisions and the rest follow like sheep?
we are a committe who vote on the committe that votes on who votes and then vote on the vote for who votes to be in charge of the vote
brb
i'm only going to vote if libertarians are running
that sounds like typical procedure for a committee, Mr. P.
Great necklace, Renfield, gosh. Never saw that cut before.
it's a very complex system, enemy. there are a bunch of rules, but nobody will tell you them. however, if you violate them, dire consequences ensue.
DONE!!!!!!!!!!
Baaa.... baaaa....

YAY MAMABEAR!!! Woof, woof, woof!

how does the old saying go? it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye... and even then it's still fun and games for everybody else if they pretend it didnt happen
kaboom ka boom
I am done, but at long as I violate no rules I do not need your orders will not abide arbitrariness

my phantom: shinola
nite flosey
nitey nite nan!
nite flosey, good nite nan
night flosey and nan
nite nan
Look people. I think Enemy has a point, and perhaps its not a good thing to have a go at him/her. As I see it, you say no politics, but in fact the rules you are suggesting "exist" are in a way the same sort of thing. Obviously enemy has strong feelings about these sort of issues. I think I have the gist of it - I fell rather sad that someone would get so upset by what is usually a nice chat log.
What rules? What point?
ang... enemy was rude yesterday and is the same today... whatever
nite nan and flosey
is politics what this is all about ?
the pointy end of a stick?
nite nan!
if i have understood this correctly, enemy was kindly defending my right to talk about politics in the chat, yes.
i talk politics in here all the time - i like to talk politics - i've had some great conversations in babble about politics AND religion, imagine that
mrP I was not rude yesterday
oh
you show me where I was rude
I don't do politics of any sort; they are all criminals...
arrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh
I absolutely was not rude yesterday
check you manners with lickety
you are a liar
so, onto bigger and better stuff... who needs clues :)
while i often prefer the subtle approach, it often causes one's points to go completely unnoticed
arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh
I stay off of anything I think is making anyone uncomfortable.
I will talk to lickety anytime and you simply are a liar
enemy - we might have diferences of opinon in here, but name calling is tabu
oh ren! fear not! I can defend myself!
it's easy to misunderstand text but i will go for the change of topic ---- what does the 8 start with?
rut-roh
*wince*
ren, on the other hand, prefers repetition, a highly effective method
bundy - it starts with an F
thanks mamabear - cute nick btw
liar liar pants on fire.... where are we!?? 2nd grade??
Goodnight everyone--I'm off to read Tony Hillerman's new mystery. I remain in awe of everyone who finished. Peace.
and I am coming to your defence too mrp, enamy was very rude about lickety
good nite mirandapan :)
didn't anyone go to kindergarten in here?
happy reading, miranda
peace, mirandapan
nite miranda and peace to you
How can there be 15 A's in that one square!?!
sorry enemy, I can't like everyone
Good nite mirandapan - peace to you too!
I was kicked out mamabear to nursery :P
it's a big square, Gadget!
I did not insult you lickety
thanks--and *poof*
and I was not rude
you don't have to like me lickety
you don't have to like me lickety
clue for sh 7/40 and ta 7/32..pls
hursh mama cass said repetition sells
why would a friendly person choose a name like enemy?
but you insulted mrpresident - and you owe her an apology
but for your wife to say I was rude to you is a lie
good point jilli
here here jilli
sh7 in a reflective manner
mrp did lie
come on lickety when did I insult you?
I thanked you for the clues
enemy, we don't call people on chat liars as a rule, perhaps you should apologise
I am not getting..pls help
thanks hursh!
if someone lies I will never apologize
sorry..not getting clue
I'm busy with the kids, and mrp repeated my own sentiments, don't like the word liar. Mrp is not a liar.
sh 7 / 40 - sounds more about the sun ...
In Parliament if someone calls another member a liar, he or she is escorted out.
I insulted you lickety?
you get the chat and show me where I insulted you
give it up enemy and apologise for goodnes sake
never
I did nothong wrong
different strokes for different folks
Is there not some rule that we don't have to listen to this is it's a non-member? Getting tired of it...
Enemy, I'm sorry you're hurt and I'm really sorry that MrP and Lickety are being hurt; I hope you'll change your mind.
is this about someone grousing about not getting lickety's clues soon enough yesterday?
they are liars
This is absurd. From an extraordinary game to flinging feces in the sandbox. This is/was enjoyable, and I'm nauseated by the venom. Goodnight.
Morning dear gang... what's happening here?
Born in Arizona, got a condo made of stona.....
hi sprite -- good to see you
lol gadget - but then we wouldn' listen to minver, would we & we'd all miss out on her personalized daily hellos :))
Scarlet, see you later... this too shall pass.
here is more repetition - king tut, funky tut
hi sprite - just a misunderstanding is all
Whats going on this morning? I've just logged on and theres all this nastiness
hey sprite!
ahem... at the risk of being... something... while enemy has been brusque, i believe there has been commensurate condescension, and therefore, perhaps, if we would all apologize for our respective existences it might so to speak
clear the air
thnx Angb...got the clue
I do!
Yes, I have always trusted your wisdom Ankh, but is the nonsense a frequent occurance? First time I've seen it in two months of playing Babble.
it's getting trollish in here...
i'll go first. i am sorry
This kind of nonsense is rare, thank goodness
Calm down people. This is a good community. And a bit of miscommunication is normal every now and then in the best of companies...
it is not, Scarlet..... this too shall pass. Please don't let it change your enjoyment of the game as well as the usual friendly chat
could I pls get a clue for ta 7/32?
Me, too, Scarlet, I think it's a one-time thing; someone misunderstood something, said something, and then things got harsh. Here's hoping it gets better.
Scarlet it happens seldom.I think most people think about other people feelings. But it misunderstandings can happen in text logs.
everyone here is lovely! love you all... (people who call me a liar are on the outer!! :))
And it is really good to see you, Scarlet!!!!!! ((hugs))
I'd like a clue for ta7/32 also
you never lie, mrP. *hugs*
hiya sprite!
i'm cold. night all. hi and bye spritey
hi all :)
Nite hurshy - another day tomorrow
Nite, Hursh, see you tomorrow!

Backatcha, Mama (((Huggers)))... but what a dingie of way to reunite... wowzers, it got weird for a bit of time.
Night hurshy-- try to think about lovely things as you go to sleep

ok, still 2 Ks missing in action. Did I ever mention I hate K-words
sprite -- 2 of them are plurals
I have 2 plurals :( 4/8 and 5/20
lol mama - yes, we all know how hard it is to get mama off her chair, LOL
Cool, Jilli... the Buddhist son tends bar? And wouldn't we all expect someone named "Spangles" to have a really good jewel? CHJ, if you're teetotal, you could have chocolate pudding with me.
are we playing again?
not my son tending bar, but his son does!
ki4 k + someones in the kitchen with d***h
ki4 K + d*** the flinstones pet
ki4 relatives
k5/18 and 5/20 are pls
I am hungry do you have some nibblies to go with the drinks ?
yes mama! back into the game... waiting on hk
Ah, the grandson tends bar! With flourishes! I'd so like to see that. *sighs wistfully*
ah, probably missing the K5/18 and related 4 then.
spangles -- there's caviar
Ank grandson is 2 son is bartender he is 20 my late lamb
think **** of Arc
I don't like caviar too fishy. Do you know how they harvest it ?
Umm... hmmm... the hamster SHOULD be in charge of the nibblies, let me go look. Oh, woops, Ursh, I mixed up your son with Jilli's family; sorry -- it's been, um, stressful here tonight.
Hey all. Anything exciting going on?
I don't want to know how they harvest caviar!
Spangles, they make little seaweed nests in the sturgeon coop, right?
Hi mkl -- not any more!
nope
both k5's are plurals
yuk caviar - might as well take cod liver oil on the rocks
heh heh heh *waddles off to fetch nibblies* (I know, I was teasing!)
If there is, mkl, it is happening beneath the bathfoam, so I couldn't tell :)
lol, ank!
I have the 5/20, but not the 5/18.
sprite, as I said, think **** of Arc
and pl
NOW it clicked, jilli :) Thank you - the Zen riddles!
Forever in your debt, as always... finished the Ks, so now I can play babble!
if you say so, sprite!
*brings Sprite a tofu dog, mutters "one with everything" and wanders back to find more nibblies*
yummmmmie, Ankh - thanks :)
Ankh -- nice new icon, but -- arctic animals today's theme????
Took me long enough to realize there is the name of a US Senator in the grid. Its only the state next door. Sigh.
No, I'm off by a week. I'm trying to find a proper icon for today, in between fetching tofu dogs and pudding and whatnot for the crowd in the hot tub.
Oh, Bernabo, what IS that? A... a dark sapphire? superdark topaz?
YW, Sprite. :)
sorry, ankh -- forgot you were so busy with the bathing bunch
Dr, don't feel bad, it is perfectly okay for babblers to be blind for the obvious. Goes with the territory... or something.
***********fireworks***********
I'm not sure of the type of gem, I just know its a titanic one...
yeah Kate!
well done Kate
Congrats, Kate!!
YAY kate!!!
I looked it up. Its a diamond. Duh.
Txs, Bernabo, it's gorgeous... hmm. Not the Hope Diamond, surely?
It is pretty, DrB :)
I bet is is, and I feel like a dunce for not recognizing it. It's right down the street from my old apt.
Think of Kate Winslet wearing just this diamond
I rest my case about the blind to the obvious thing, Anhk ;)
*hands DrB a towel to keep from drooling on his keyboard*
*smacks self with fish, returns to munchie-hunt*
I finally got the sh6/33, a clear indication from the Great Babble Beyond to call it a night and finish tomorrow. Bye bye. Buy bonds.
bye DrB
F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S
Don't have the Sh6/33 yet. Should I go to bed? Just got out, but hey... WTG ruthy!
Congratulations, ruthy!!!
BYE ALL off to do some decorating for my mum
YAY ruthy!!!
night Dr B -- I should go too
True... but will you, jilli? ;)
Heh heh, sprite...
Okay, let me give a good example then ;) I am off, taking the kids to aikido and knitting while looking at them. Back to babble this afternoon. Hugs for who wants them :)
Gnite, sprite, I was just about to change!
thanks sprite - ineed a hug
(((renfield))))
See? See me now?
whaaaaaaa! Great great icon, Ankh :) *poof*
Whoops. A little fatter than I meant to be; forgot icons fill out to square! :)
hahahha ankh!
Yay, Ruthy! Bye, Dr. B! Oh, sure, it's funny when it isn't you, Ren! :) I'll go slim myself right now!
Okay, THAT's better. Gosh, I still have 188 to go, how did that happen?
go slim ankh! - i;bve had fat face before!
i've had...where did that b come from?
you were gettign t he drink cart - then the snack tray
Heh, refresh me now and see how slender I am! Still stupid, though; took me until now to understand what DrB was saying about the diamond. But I was busy, y'know, hustling the goodies and drinks, yes! :)
oh, clever, ankh!!!
A desperate hamster will do a lot to lose weight, Jilli!
Well, I guess I will turn in. All I'm seeing is words I've already got, plus the phantom shinola.
Rough night, Jilli, sweet dreams.
Ren you coming back in?
Night all! *poof*
as soon as my ie comes back up chic
Hello everyone, this is great for someone who can't sleep. good night Jilli
*tidies up Jilli's towels & all that*
Heh. I'm just waiting to shoot up in... 27 minutes.
well, must go look after the gorgeous one
Mr. P, I tried to find an Aussie opal but
alas, the best for tonight's purpose were the Mexican ones.
she was in hospital today... she had a nasty accident when she fell....
Hodag, you missed the hot tub party. Oh, gosh, sorry to hear that, MrP!
the miracle was.... one of the best plastic surgeons was at the hospital
hi all, what happened mr p
You Are So Lucky
so... she is home with her lip and cheek stitched up beautifully... no wait, no fuss... maddison got the best treatment!!
Hello MRP. hope everything is OK - what a shock
she fell off the lounge (the one she was dancing on) and hit the airconditioner face first!
Maybe I can catch the next one. Very sorry Mr.president!
But sheesh, poor Maddison!
Kids - if only they could be wrapped up in cotton wool till they are off our hands (which is never)
poor maddison!
yeah!! I have been freaked out most of the day!! poor darling! she is only 8 years old and was so stressed! lickety called me at work and I had to take her... cause she wouldn't go to the hospital without me!
but lucky to get such good treatment
Awww...sheesh... poor Lickety! Poor you!
(Side question for MVA: no flag?)
never had one one, must have missed the flag giving day, or more probably messed up in my bio!
she is doing well.... got stitches on her lip and cheek and now recovering! ... and so are we!
Does it hurt her much now?
(MVA, yeah, maybe bio -- other Welsh players get the little dragon flag)
mrP glad all is ok - go check the mirror at least 5 grey hairs!!!
LOL ursh!! you are right!!
bye for now - some late evening gardening to do. MRP look after yourself as well as Maddison
it must have been really scary for an 8 yr old to go thru! lots of hugs needed, for all of you!
Enjoy, Lynxxx...
yes MVA! she was so worried! but she is recovering now! she had my surgeon... she felt very good about that... he was my surgeon from my bone tumour operation... made sure I didn't get a hideous scar! very relieved!
YES! I finally grayed a single box and can go now! Well, tell your Maddie that your Babble friend were all asking about her & wishing her well.
thanks ank!
hoping for a good recovery for maddison, and for you
*turns off the hot tub jets, picks up all the towels*
I'll leave the lights on for y'all... but that's it for me. MrP, sorry you had a rough chat after such a rough day.
hi all!
*yawns* *stretches* *exits*
niters ankh!
bye ank!

Good morning all - just looking in to see what pleasures await later. I am making lunch for 10 today and babble will be my reward for afters!
jules, i hope you got chika into babble with all the standard disclaimers about getting addicted and spending to much time on the grids and all that.
morning haz
ko4/9 & plural 5/20 - Egyptian eye makeup or German chancellor.
hi haz!
Morning, Haz!
Hi Haz

hello Jac too
Waving with sleeves rolled up and apron on.......
don't know how I missed those Jac thanks
thanks jac!
should have seen those!
as we all do and then get horribly addicted and wonder if everyone has run off some where lol
Haz - you don't have this in the kitchen do you ! I know some people have tv in their kitchens but maybe you are taking babble too far!
Good morning everyone....here in between the ironing again, and I only just noticed how many p's there are !!!
LOL, I also did it on an email group to. Still waiting for those ladies to appear ;o)
morning karys, love the cat in your icon

the Ps are a real pa4/5 today
of course that's just my op7/32
Thanks fran
*Slips her ironing in with Karys's; 'she'll never notice!' and sneakily sets a couple of extra places at Haz's dinner table, whilst calling taxi to airport ready for short flight over Irish Sea...*
ty Fran :)
hey Karys, congrats on your upcoming wedding
um jac, with your ironing pile, i think she will notice
yw jules!
lynxxx - no, the computer is in the study, just taking a break from the kitchen. Everything under control just at the minute, so taking a breather.
Fran - Sssh! She might not...
yw karys!
ty jules....getting closer now !....I need to know the time difference between Miami 'sh and Brisbane if anyone can help please ?
you're right jac, but surely haz will notice a couple extra people for dinner.
sorry no can do, am bad enough remembering the time here :o(
Jac....got the ironing counted already and nothing gets done that doesn't really have to !
btw, love your diamond jac
With 10 coming another 2 won't make any difference!
You're welcome here for dinner I love to cook for loads of people. But don't bring ironing as I don't iron.
Shirley, you fallen asleep there ?
feel a bit like that too jules
sorry yes jsut about lol
So the babble convention is at Julie's place, then?
LOL everyone. I'm roasting a leg of lamb later but thanks for the offers. Fran - I wish it was 'my' diamond!
*chuckles* I nearly did at keyboard the other night

Yes, why not. Have to go out for a bauble hunt with kids but say 3 1/2 hours from now ??

Later ren

karys, you are 11 hours earlier than me i think
Bye ren! And I should gird up my lo5/10 and begin phase 2..... See you all later.

bye haz take care
bye haz!
it's 10.40 am Sunday morning here
yuck, hoping older son escapes it as I don't think I can take another male telling me he's at deaths door
Karys - Some horrible 'Man 'Flu' bug. Begins with a cough & just gets awful.
so, miami would be 5 hours later than you
or earlier than you
it's 3:42 am in miami right now
Oh dear Jac....glad your feeling a bit better now :)
julie - Yes, it's always 100 times worse for the male. LOL. Mind you, this bug IS something to moan about! It's grim!
nvm karys, i'm confusing myself
LOL just realised there's a fish in the grid. Seems like most days there is
Ty Fran...we just ned to add on the Brisbane bit then
why do you need to know Karys? Am being nosey now
karys it's 8:45 pm on Sunday in Brisbane
jules...there's a web cam in the chapel on the ship and stepson to be lives in Brisbane
sorry, 8:45 am
A fish? *Peers at grid.* I can see French rabbits, little horses, kings of the jungle, slimey garden pests... hmmm
sno 5 20 Jac

little horses ?
sn5/18? Got that, just didn't realise it was a fish.
baby horses jules

julie - baby horses fo4 & 5.

okay karys, i pulled up a world time clock and right now it's 5:49 am Sunday in Miami and 8:49 pm Sunday in Brisbane.
Great Fran...thank you x

mmmm - don't know what the words are but must have them
there you go...that's what i was doing!
what's wrong kate?
*does little funny dance for kthdsn*
kate - Hi. what's wrong?
my husband didn't come home from work last night and I don't know where he is
has he done that before?
he doesn't have a cell phone, the phone at the pub he works in was cut off and I can't find numbers for any of his friends
no fran it's not like him at all
Argh! That is not nice. Did you have a fight? Or is he missing without any reason?
oh kate - he probably just had too much to drink and is sleeping it off somewhere.
he's not at the police station or the hospital, I can't think why he would stay out without calling
I've had 3 hours sleep and I'm in a bit of a panic
*trots in to hold Kth's hand*
ty ank
Surely, if it were an accident, the police would have called by now. So I'm with Lynxx, perhaps he is sleeping it off.
That's not something we can cheer away for you... I pray for you all is well. You keep talking to us for as long as you like, to keep a hold on the panic.
i'm with lynxxx, he's probably at a friend's house
Kth, are we tying up your phone line?
I guess so, it's just out of character for him and it's so easy to worry
And I'm lost, what time is it where you are?
no ank, broadband
it's 11am
he works in a pub, usually home by 3am at the very latest
Well then... the pub's cleaning crew might be in by now?
does he drive or walk home?
I don't think they have a cleaning crew, he walks home we don't have a car
*keeps patting Kth's hand*
any friend living near the pub who can go take a look for you?
And with your three girls, you can't go look. Hmm. Is the pub near a shop; if so, could you ask them to look in?
how far is the pub?
He may even be doing another shift at the pub Kate. He'll turn up or contact you soon I am sure.
it's not far away but I don't want to leave the house in case he comes back and I've locked him out
Lock him out! Leave a note on the front door, telling him you & the girls have run to the pub and will be right back.
Perhaps a neighbor would stay by your phone for you?
I'd rather stay here with nice company to be honest, I'm probably just being silly
we don't have any nice neighbours lol
I can understand your worry if he always lets you know if he is going to be late. Perhaps he thought you'd be asleep by now and did not want to wake you?
*pat-pat, pat-pat*
probably sprite, thanks for being here everyone
I'm going to look for some words, take my mind of worrying, he's a late sleeper so if he is at someone's house sleeping it off he won't have woken up yet
*pat-pats some more and starts to snore a bit herself*
*yells in a kind but very sharp voice: "Wake up, you dork, your wife is worried!*
lol
I managed a smile :)
well done :)
*is not herself roused by Sprite's stern tone; schlumps over and begins to snore more loudly*
Ah well, can't work for everyone... but let me see... you don't HAVE a wife, now have you, Ankh? You probably did not feel spoken to :)
schlump? that word would fit nicely with the other weird words in this grid
I think I need those weird words, don't have any schlump like words yet.
eeerrrr the weird lady over the road just threw a load of rubbish on the grass
how dare she!
*snores on, disregarding*
she's an old asian lady, she comes outside and pours he cooking fat down the drain, and she throws bread crumbs for birds, but she through a load of paper and stuff too this time
*wonders if she is being ignored by Ankh - considers working on her tone*
Urf? urrpmf?
Now there's a good girl - wanna beer?
Kth, you're going to just have to imagine me holding your hand cuz I really am falling asleep here. Sprite, you're closer to her time zone, right?
*considers whether hamsters like beer for breakfast*
I am and I am here. You go have a good sleep and hamster back to us later :)
ok ank, what time is it there?
I think Lynxxx is on the wrong side of the world for you. Here, 6:30 am.
I got up to take drugs, have taken them, need to lie back down. :)
lol ok, go sleep
12.30 pm here
*pat-pats Kth's hand a bit more; wanders over, pat-pats Sprite's hand too, and then stumbles towards the door*
lunch time, actually
Kth, thanks for understanding. Sprite, thanks for holding the fort. *yaaawwn* I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best.
ty ty
Morning all.........
quick some-one put a bed under that woman before she hurts herself.
morning caitlyn
hi caitlyn
lol
hi caitlyn
*schlumps (yes!) towards the door and out... zzzz!*
Probably redundant, but have you called the pub? or the owner or a coworker of your husband's?
there is no phone in the pub and I don't have numbers for anyone who works there
Hi Caitlyn
Good morning everyone. kth, how about calling the police, explaining the problem, and seeing it they can send someone round the pub to check?
*thanks Lynxxx in her dreams for making sure there was a bed to catch her, and then falls fassst asleep*
hi eva!
they're not that helpful eva
I'll leave you with this good company Kate. You could occupy your time making a list of all the things your husband need to do to get back into your good books! Bye everyone.
oh, I'm sorry. I now what this worry feels like.
bye lynxxx!
hi Eva
bye lynx
bye lynxxx
Hi eva Bye lynxx
he's probably fine, I'm probably just worrying for nothing, but I'm going to stay stressed out til he gets home and I can yell at him
Good Morning all
hi yvo
Morning Yvo
Kthdsn,in this day and age i cant understand that the Pup has no Phone
Of course you are, Kate :) Think of how happy you will be to see him home sound and well and being able to yell at him to your heart's content :)
kate, it's almost 2am here, have to get to bed...i really hope everything is okay...if he really is just sleeping it off somewhere, he has a lot of apologizing to do!!
hi Yvo
night all!
Night fran..sleep well
bye fran
yvo they are struggling financially to keep the pub running, the phone bill didn't get paid so it was cut off
kth what has hubby done? I cant catch it on the chat log
he went to work last night and hasn't come home yet
WHAT....and no contact? Hasnt he got a mobile?
so sorry to hear that,but as you said hes never done that,its worrysome
no we can't afford them
Im sorry you are so worried...What job does he do?
I'm just waiting for him to call or turn up, it's so frustrating not being able to call anywhere he might be he's a barman
kth isn't there any friend or relative who could go over there for you?
no my family live too far away and I can't find any phone numbers for anyone nearby
can you call anyone to come,babysit so you can go out
Oh kth what a worry for you..I bet there was a stag do
what on earth is a stag do?
I know he's not at the police station or the hospital so he MUST be alright, wherever he is
since there is no phone ,pack up the children and take a walk over
I don't want to leave the phone in case he calls, and he has no key, don't want to lock him out
As soon as he gets back I'm going to seriously kick his arse
sprite a stag do is a all male party
i wouldn't unlock that door until he did much explaining
he worries you and your afraid to lock him out
leave a note
Time to start the day bye all***poof***
Kate's between a rock and a hard place. Hope he shows up pretty soon now, Kate. Thanks caitlyn :) This non native speaker learned something new today :)
bye hodag
bye hodag
Bye hodag
I just want to know that he's alright, you guys are keeping me somewhat sane though so thank you
When you have finished with him kate put him on babble and we can all tell him off as well!!
we'll sit with you until he gets home to apologise his ass off, Kate ;)
Take care Kthdsn no news is good news.
ty sprite, lol caitlyn I will
kate is he supposed to be working this lunchtime..perhaps he will work through
no he only works evenings normally
I guess he just went off to have fun somewhere and thought I would be sleeping so didn't call, I bet he's still sleeping
will he be in trouble when he gets home :)
You are proably right kate....(the swine)
kthdsn, might i suggest that in th future you get some phoneNumbers of his friends so in an emergency you can call
Okay, does anyone have a worse joke than this one: What did the finger say to the thumb? I'm in glove with you.
after all your children might sense you are worried
"So... you did not want to wake me, so you put me through a night and morning worrying about where on earth you could be??? EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"
yes yvo I will, enemy if you want me to smile you'll have to do better than that
Hello everyone, I'm back from doing chores till our friends come round. Kate I hope your hubby is ok and comes home soon
sprite I think it'll be a bit mroe colourful language than that
Hi ren
ty ren

one of my favorites blood-which tells you something very sad about my sense of humor
LOL
When the boy broke his knee, where did he go to get a new one? At the butcher shop, where they sell kid-knees.
Groan!!!
haha...i love that one too eva. but it's better when told in person, so can put some oomph on the punchline.
*groans*
At school, I saw my principal walking around in a daze. I asked him what happened, and he just looked at me and said, "I've lost my faculties!"
kth, as a guy with some experience, I'm sure he's sitting somewhere right now, crapping himself, wondering how the heck he's going to survive this afternoon when he gets home.
morning Babblers :) ...kate's punchline sounded right to me...
lol blood
I've got myself a new icon to cheer me up

And it is a real word, Eva!

I've been trying that for a while blood-it's probably right in front of my nose but......

Hey..I used a word! thanks blood!
*slaps blood gently on the knuckles*
morning all, does anyone know how come my grid and chat is so tiny, has there been a change I don't know about?
sheryl it isn't tiny here
pons
looks fine here sheryl.
oops
hmm, maybe the hubby changed some setting so something
Morning Sherylr
sheryl if you look in the menu in your browser there are some settings for the text size, see if it's set to small
I am looking kth, ty
is it just me or is this a hard one?
I can change my desk top to bigger but it is not changing in here
"oops does not exist in this puzzle"
it could well be a hard one eva, I have 23 words so far
it's tough eva. i'm only at 81 and i'm about ready to give up.
sheryl what browser do you use
I really had trouble with it, Eva. Hit first wall before I was halfway.
yes sprite
internet explorer
I
m only at 114 and finding it very slow going
it changed my home page and desk top to bigger text but not the puzzle, and this is tiny
need a magnifiying glass, lol
there should be an option in the edit or view menu, I don't have ie at home so I can't look
You are doing well Eva
have you tried refreshing your page sheryl?
tried refreshing the view says its the largest font
do you have another browser you could use, firefox or something?
nope have to wait till the hubby gets up and see what he did, he is famous for playing ,lol
yea. i'm giving up on this grid.
sometimes restarting the computer works
if you download firefox via the link on my website i get a dollar ;-)
cat feeding time
Sherylr, are all pades smaller, or just babble?
i'm on it kt!
say hi to merp from me, Eva
ah well, tiny it is will try and work on it anyway
which link do i use?
i see 3
its the middle one of the white bubbles at the bottom
how many times can i download it?
just once
ok...
otherwise it would count as cheating and they'd close my account lol
cuz that would give me something to do today...just sit here and continuously downloading Firefox
gotcha
daughter is falling ill, have to be afk for a while. Will you guys keep Kate company until hubby crawls to the door?
of course sprite.
sorry to hear that sprite, hope she's ok
See ya later Sprite, hope she is better soon
Hope daughter is better soon sprite
yeah, just flue, son got it and is better now, I did, now it is her turn. We know the drill by now :)
My prayers are with you, Kate, and with hubby once he faces you :)
bye sprite :)
Hi, all...
ty sprite, hope your daughter feels better soon
kate how are you feeling?? Still mad I hope
hi pam
Sheryie, I was having the same problem. I went into control panel, then Appearance & themes, then screen resolution. It worked!
kt..see Jon Bon!!!! *dreamy*
Hi pam
hello pam
I've calmed down a bit now caitlyn, feel a bit more human
morning pam :)
rofl blood
What is Kate upset about? i feel as though I am missing something...
Mind you, I was getting used to the small print
my husband didn't come home last night
Morning Pam
Hi, sherb, bloodaxe, and sherb
Oh, kate, I am sorry
Hi, ren
ty pam, I'm waiting for him to show up so I can kick his arse then send him here so everyone else can yell at him too
don't blame you...
and we'll destroy him with your bad jokes
did he call?
no I haven't heard from him and don't have any numbers to try calling him
(((((((hugs))))))to you and your family, kate...
ty, it's great to be able to log on here and find a bunch of caring people to keep my spirits up
How are the children doing, Kate?
We are all one big family on here
they're great, they're rallying round tidying the house to cheer me up
Wow! that is great!
we are a pretty supportive group to each other, that is true
I'm usually good in a crisis, but then I usually have him here supporting me, I feel kind of lost without him
kate, has he ever done this before? Did you know where he was going when he left?
sheryer, are you still there? Did you try my suggestion to enlage your screen. I have just done mine and it has made all the difference
gramma he went to work, he's a barman, and no he's never stayed out all night before he's usually home by 3am, it's not almost 1pm
Have you notified the police?
I called them and the hospital to see if he was there, he wasn't thankfully
Kate, I think you should contact his work
Does he drive to work? Is his car there?
I would ren but they don't have a phone and I don't want to leave in case he calls here or gets back and is locked out
no we don't have a car he walks
brb--coffee brewing time...
good morning everybody:)
Morning jean
Hello, jean
Don't you have a friend or neeighbour who could help you out?
Can you not ask a friend to pop in while you go
Morning Jean
I don't know anyone close by and I don't have any phone numbers for anyone he might be with
kate, call family, friends whoever you need to and find that guy! The police should be told he's missing.
I don't know how you are staying so calm I would be doing my pieces by now, you have to find a way to find him
kate where are you in England?
west yorkshire flossy
kthdsn ive just read your chat, keep your faith that he will return and hang on in there as they say
Too far from me to help sorry
I'm pretty sure he's just gone out drinking and crashed at someones house, he might still be sleeping, it's just worrying not being able to contact him
yes too far from somerset as well unfortunatley
Hi, just returned. Katie - no 'phone at the place where he works?
Hello Jacula
Do you know any of his friends kate? Hi Jacula
no jac, it was cut off cos they didn't pay the bill
Hi ren8.
hello jacula:)
Katie - have you tried his mobile 'phone?
I don't have any of his friends numbers or addresses and we don't have mobiles
Oh dear! Does his workplace have a neighbouring place with a 'phone?
I don't know, I've only walked past it a couple of times
Is it far from where you live, Katie?
like blood said, he's probably trying to get up the courage to face me lol
no it's just down the road but I don't want to leave in case he calls or comes home, he left his keys behind
I think its time now to get the kiddies coats on,leave a note and go for a walk kate
Caitlyn - my thoughts exactly!
I was also thinking the same think Jac and Caitlyn
Good idea
that sounds like a good idea, if its not far you can be back before you know it
I want to stay here where it's warm, I'm sure he'll be home soon, I hope he will, I'll give it a bit more time
katie - you can decide whether to kiss or kill him when you find him. Good luck!
yes and good luck from me kthdsn
he doesn't wake up til lunchtime on a weekend usually so he's probably on his way or about to set off
and me!!
Speaking of Other Halves, mine is asleep on the settee. Time I woke him, as we have things to do today. BBL.
ok cya jac

hi, annie
hi pam
Hey Kate - thinking of you. Where are you based - anything I can do to help?
I am assuming that there is no way you can reach him (cell phone). Perhaps he is with a friend, is there anyone you can call to help you?
thanks matty I don't think there's anything you can do, it's nice to know you all care though
I have the number of the woman who gave him a list to work but she's not answering, and I have no other way of contacting him or anyone he knows
What about his family, have you contacted them?
Or his boss?
no I wouldn't want to worry his family they live far away and don't travel, his boss has no phone it was cut off
wow. bad deal, kth
any of his friends?
I don't have any numbers or addresses for them sunny
would someone have called you if he didn't show for work
yeah
I'd phone his family, Kate, really - you must be frantic, and maybe he's contacted him. What about the police?
I'm assuming he must be alright because people he works with all have our number so they would have called
I tried the police and the hospital he's not at either
has he ever done this to you before
keep trying the woman who gave him the work list...I cant imagine how you feel...
no it's very out of character
how late is he?
did I say list, I meant lift
Really - phone his family. If he's contacted them, you'll know something, and if not, they may have ideas of who to contact.
oh lord you must be frantic-how long since he should have been home?
12 hours now, he wouldn't have called his family without calling me, I don't want to worry them they are old and frail
12 hours? holy cow. you must be sick with worry. Wish I could help you kt
How are your kids? Are they aware?
I read back thru the blogs, I am sorry to hear about your husband being late home Kthdsn. Do you think he could still be at work, getting extra hours in?
kth, that is a long time, call the hospitals and the police again. wish I was there with you
they're 6, 4 and 2, my eldest knows something is wrong but the other two think he's still at work
is there someone you know near the bar that you can ask to go take a peek?
What does your husband do?
he's a barman
he should have been home around 2/3am
Where are you based - are you in/near London?
yorkshire
are you far from the work place-go for a walk and take the kids and check it out
I don't want to miss him if he calls, I daren't leave the phone
is the bar open yet? call and speak to his boss or one of the workers and find out if something happened at the bar
wow, kth - I'll bbl to check on you - must be off for awhile
TIme to scoot off and get busy. Kate, take care and I will be thinking of you and your children.
how about neighbors ask one to come over to man phone-and walk or cab to the bar
kthdsn, you might try calling one of the businesses near the bar and ask them to pop their head in to see if someone there remembers seeing him leave, or if he's still there.
would the police would drive by the bar and check for you?
Kth, it's obvious we are all feeling concerned with you, and hoping your husband will show up with a simple explanation.
I would think that luwanda's suggestion makes sense, surely the police could do that???
I don't know, I feel like if I call the police again I have to admit that something hideous might have happened and I don't want to think that...
Kth, you need to contact the police again. Did you leave them your number in case they heard anything?
no I didn't
kth, if something hideous happened, it is 12 hours, someone would have called the police by now....call the hospitals again
if something is worng they might be able to help or start looking where you are unable at home
ok, I'll make some calls, brb
hty will also be able to tell you in notheing is wrong
Really, Kate - call the police and leave them your number, call his family and see if he's contacted them, and get a friend to swing by the bar. At least then you're actively doing something. The not knowing must be horrible!
dont you have a friend who could help out by watching the kids and you could check the bar yourself
hello all justing reading back in the log and kthdsn, matty is right call the police and the rest of her suggestions
when you call the police ask them to checkthe bar you are talking about
whew, broke a hundred words. This grid is crazy!
hi sherlyl, we are all concerned for her
I would think so, if it was me I would be going nuts, I feel for you kate.
i`m going to sneak in a request between suggestione to kate-any clues to ep 7/32
don't have it yet, maj
just started myself maj can't help you
sherylr, have you fixed your screen yet, I know how to do it now.
hubby got up and he fixed it,
ep 7: ep + vowel + greek temple
I did the crossword while he was working on it
Greek temple?
Fireworks for me
had a rough day yesterday, was in a car accident, 5 cars
congrats inge!!!
sherylr, are you okay?
I was first in the line and 4 piled up behind me
congrats inge
sheryl, that is awful, how are you?
body feels like I was run over by a truck, lol
are you okay sheryl
lucky you inge
I don't get the greek temple clue?
sore neck and back
sheryl, did you see a doctor
hello everyone. wowza, Sheryl. Glad you're okay!
was driving the hubby's car, never drive that car but it was a good thing I was his is a wagon, so more room to crunch the back up, mine is quite small car and could have been worse if I was driving mine
(Hope you're ok Sheryl!) - can someone re-clue the ep7 - I don't get it?
ep+not out+three vowels
spent hours at the emerg yesterday getting xrays and such, just bruised and bashed
my clue got lost, fell off the grid. there is a babblet na plus three vowels, that is the ending to the ep 7
thank god my son's okay, he was in the car with me
Thanks Wren.
hi, inge! And, sheryl, i am glad you are ok...
and of course my mom instinct made me throw my arm across him to hold him back and pulled my shoulder out
thanks guys
Oh, and congrats, Inge and hi, gail
owwww, sheryl....
the temple is na 4/4, (sorry only two more vowels after na_
oh maaaaaan, Sheryl.
I've reported him missing
I will survive but ty for the thoughts,
good kate, did you ask the police to go to that bar?
wow, kth. what's next?
I have three Ks - the sea urchin, the movie theatre and the relatives - can anyone help with the others - I cannot imagine what they might be!
yeah I gave them the address and everything, they said it's not life and death given his age and good health but they will send someone round to see
o good, kth!
good, I think it is good to do something
hey Sheryl - i banged my shin and put some tiger balm on the bruise. it helped. do you have any of that stuff?
well, i am glad that they will have a look see....
kth, good to start
an 6/21 any clues
think the hubby has a tube or jar somewhere, I willl try it out
keep us updated kate
hubby has gone to pick up a few groceries since that was where i was going when the accident occured
it's pretty strong-smelling stuff, Sheryl. Will clear your sinuses, at least!
there you go, double rememdy
I will majmom
ahhh. finally got the ep7
one ko is the German word for cabbage, or the German chancellor helmut KO**
I have a friend who does reiki and I think i will call her and ask her to do a session for me
the ending is like the first name of one of the Judds, minus one letter.
ok, i'll bite. what the heck is reiki?
ouch, Sheryl. Sure you're ready for that?
its a form of oriental healing, a type of laying of hands
ok, sort of like massage?
al 5/14 and al 6/24?
ooh this board is very tough
sort of but its weird they don't massage, I can't explain it
alright, thanks for explanation.
haven't got either of those yet maj
i give up on the ep.....
hi, katydid
morning pam.
oh kthdsn, it's 12 midnight and i have to go, but please be safe and try to stay calm (somehow) and be strong for your babies. I am thinking of you. ( and if he was sleeping off a bender without letting you know... kick his butt!!) night all :)
pam, it's ep + opp of out + first vowel, 4th vowel, 3rd vowel
ep 7 = ep + 3rd vowel + ****m* Judd
thanks sunny, night
pam do you have na 4/4 (the temple)?
never mnd, those other clues should do it
al 5: al + third vowel + sometime vowel + first vowel
al 6: same first four letters , then fourth vowel and snake
inge, thank you!
tx inge
no, i don't inge...
now just the an 6/21 and no more a`s
inge, I believe that al 5/14 is a hebrew word meaning being called up to read the Torah
well, our dictdionary doesnt have it!
maj, like the veggie that makes you cry but with an a
oops, no never mind -- wrong one
Pam, use the clues by gailin and ch1212 for the ep word
inge, I know..but I know the word and thanks...I didnt see it
yey I have 44 words now, strangely enough I don't even care
understandable, kthdsn ... {{{{ hugs }}}}
I dont want to leave the grid, incase Kate gets a message....
an 6/21= 3 letter latin word for year + *** Zadora
aaawww thanks inge
hi all...i should be marking Alevel shakespeare...but whats the sea urchin k word?
kth, we are here for you. Is there anyone you can call to be with you for a while
[does anybody remember *** Zadora? LOL)
ty qailinrb
unfortunately I do gail
hi all
yes, kth. we're all thinking of you. And Annie has a good point.
lol, pab.
thanks, inge, gail, and chi1212!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi, arlene
I know you don't wish to worry anyone, kate, but if there is someone who lives nearby who can offer some comfort to you, i think they would be glad to be a friend right now
i agree with pam, you shouldn't be alone kate
I have got to leave for a while. I will make a note of the time, so that I can scroll back later for news. But be assured we are all with you. Wish I lived nearer to Halifax!
There isn't anyone nearby really, I tried my grandparents but they're not in, my family live in canada
thanks exwren, bye
bye, exwren
Oh, kate, this has to be so hard... all of our thoughts are with you, you know
Kth, did the police say that they would keep in touch with you?
foal
oops. sorry
yes alien they said someone would come round thisafternoon to talk to me
kth, what time is it where you are?
3pm
thank you
kth, he could be sleeping off a bender somewhere? does he drink with the patrons? I dont mean to imply anything...just thinking out loud
he sometimes has a few after work but he's still usually home by 3am at the latest
kth, the way I am thinking is that if you checked all the hospitals and no one reported anything to the police he is going to come through the door. I would first give him a great big kiss and then I would beat the cr** out of him
well I used the time to change my icon, even though I have little interest in gems and the like
ingy thingy, i'll take any of your gems that you don't want then.
thanks annie, not sure whether I would want to kiss him first or beat him up first
I think my granddaughters already cleaned me out. My jewelry box is their favorite "toy"
{{{nutsy}}}
nutsy, you are falling behind in your shopping.
i think so ingy....i think i fell in to a shopping stupor in a runoff in the parking lot
that and i can't find my sister
did you entrust ichy to your sister?? oh boy, we are in trouble
ichy will show up with a compound eye patch and a micro-parrot on her shoulder

I got the job at the Mental Health facility and I start tomorrow they called me yesterday evening
I have 2 ya's, they rhyme with feminine hygeine product without te M in the middle, and plural
ya 5/16 -- across the ***d
EnemyisMe, that was a much better clue
make sure you dont do any work faerie *teehee*
good for you! no staying on part time for the holidays?
the pa 6 is the plural of the 5
the pa 6 is the plural of the 5
hello babblers.
no holiday part-time for me
then I say relax then faerie lol and good luck with your new job
kt, i see you and Jon are true to your word.
well no wonder i couldn't think of any ya words - i've never heard of those two ya 5's!
hi blood, he's home now safe and sound
hello bloodaxe:)
hi blood
al6 is A + a cut of meat
aloin
*phew good news kt...i'm happy for you. is he through kissing your a**?
yep
time to get going i see...
he won't be through with that for a long time, he's got a lot of making up to do
cliff? you have to use those y words three times in a sentence at work next week.
its strange how so many of yesterdays words are in todays too
that's what i like to hear kt! did you let the babblers chastise him?
enemy-i work with monkeys. they barely understand simple words.
not yet, he's busy making dinner and cups of tea
it's stragner that i cannot seem to find them....esp if you are speaking of the k words.... : /
wow..dinner AND tea...bravo!
make him an account and let everyone loose on him for 5 mins :)
glad you noticed that rolin thought I was having a groundhog day lol
and he did have a good excuse, his boss collapsed and he had to sort him out then he crashed with a friend and slept all day
thnk gramma
al6 is take your 1st al and drop the last letter, add the sometimes vowel and round vowel plural
and he did try to call but must have misdialed
well it's good that it's all over, everyone is safe and happy. there still one problem though....what are we going to do about this gird? it's TOUGH!
yep, got it gramma! Thank you!
I know blood, I still only have 50 words, although to be fair I havne't been trying
*grid
anything else?
yea, you have a good excuse kt. i'm just dense.
grid is a piece of cake
enemy....i hate you....
ooh lots and lots gramma! but I'll hunt around a bit first... thanks!
the more answers you get the easier it is
grid is certainly NOT a piece of cake!
Kate, I am so relieved that your husband is home safe and sound.
Okay, see you all on the flip ;)
blood maybe it's because you've been drooling over my icon
it's wrong to have 64 words in and BARELY 500 points. babble is so humiliating
have you finished yet?

al 5/14 pls?
lol sam
how come if there's infinity, there is not finity?
good point kt...i'll have to remeber Jon Bon Jovi as a good excuse for mediocrity.
bye gramma, see you!
cliff, add Londonn is a BIG c***
LOL dorens!
there's finiteness...
bye gramma:)
cliff...its the utter...fi5/16 of it all...
hi smalls! : )
ty rolin.
hi hurshy!
mornin' TO!
Daisy...AL 5/14 when Jews move to Israel..or get called up to read from the Torah....also the name of a black singer who died in plane crash..both spelled differently
ty enemy.
it was you who gave me the clue..lol
cliff, is that one of your charges?
yw
girl friday, i was thinking about the torah bit, but wondered who would get it, you know?
ty girlfriday :)
about two people!
oh 4/5
Oh Cliff, I want that kitten!
hi ata
well i'm not going to get anywhere unless the grid changes or I change. I don't see either happeneing anytime soon, so I'm calling it quits...again...time to write about Religion...
i didn't get it : (
yes temple, that is ikea. she was adopted last week. a real sweetie.
she's *adorable*
oh 4/5 -- P** Zadora
bye all...and i'm happy for you kt...don't let him ever live it down.
thank goodnes! you lot will get me with a kitten if i don't watch out!
bbl--I am so glad for you kthdsn that it turned out ok
kittens kittens kittens
TO... female singer who was killed in a car crash a year or two ago
how do i have a kitten without it scratching my leather furniture?
ty dorens! : )
put a covering on the leather furniture!
you just have a kitten - they aren't usually interested in smooth things.
you give it something else to scratch, and praise it when it does.
change to fabric ones?
That black singer came from Detroit, she attended the HighSchool for Performing Arts right behind Orchestra Hall, I saw her perform in their annual assem bly
suggestion for clue for that al 5/14: black singer who was in Queen of the Damned :) it was her last movie
no no fabric would be much more scratchinteresting
hi, hurshy....
and,it helps to keep the nails trimmed, too. that's easy to do if you get the kitten accustomed to it early.
lol..TO...do you know how long i have wanted leather furniture??..
guess I haven't left yet, LOL
hello pam
speaking of damned...anyone have any clues for the k words bedise family?
al+ third vowel + sometime vowel + first vowel
hah, rolin. do NOT get grasscloth wallpaper, either. lol.
i trim my cat's and kitten's claws regularly. haven't had a ruined piece of furniture yet.
lol TO! that's the only k word I have!
same here, cliffopa.
my cats try to scratch fabric but they don't try to scratch smooth wood - i really think they would not care about leather. and even the fabric they aren't too bad about, they mostly use their scratching posts.
that is not a clue its putting a word in the grid
TO--my New Jersey sister arrived yesterday. Her hubby went to Pascack Valley HS, and she knows all about IHA! Going to IHA is a big deal, she says.
i see you're a cat fanatic also, cliffopa ;)
trimming my cat's claws is a CHORE, but it gets done
ki word for movie house, ko name of German ex chancellor
it helps to trim their claws when they are sleepy, they don't put up as much of a stink
hi scrabs! great education and my family sacrificed much to get it
hmm..well after the dog disaster...im a litttle retiscent to try a kitten...but it would be nice..
my cats leave the leather alone but do scratch the smooth wood chairs, they also use their post
my cats have never cared for leather either. Sily has a scratching post and claws up one of the stair bannisters LOL and she doesn't even need her claws trimming - yet!
hmmm, sleepy, I will ermember that
rolin, you do have to spend time with a kitten/cat...
Hi, Scrabbler
gailinrb, my family calls me 'the cat whisperer'
Her co-worker's daughter goes to IHA.
Li 7/32 and ta 7/32(not the asian businessmen)..pls
o cool, cliffopa! would you please whisper to my Cranky Lil' Lucy that everything's okay? lol
yeah...well that was the problem..we both work
what is IHA?
Hi Pam, et al....I am the Rabbit Whisperer, and I have to trim my rabbits' nails---sometimes I get close to requiring sutures.
well, rolin. like a kid, an animal gets weird with little or no atttention.
hey my kids got weird WITH attaention..lol..
don't have a li 7/32
ty enemy
ta 7: ta 4 preciding it + stick letter + first vowel
nah..thats not true..my kids are great...my son will get the news on thurs that hes passed his teaching degree
li7 - to turn into a big cat
li 7/28 --- big cat and sunr*** in the morning
Immaculate Heart Academy--TO went there, and my sister lives nearby. Apparently a prestigious all girls' HS, and where TO developed into the outstanding woman that we know.
li 7/28: the king of the jungle + vowel , snake, and vowel
how interesting - ta6/21 isn't in the dictionary
i was horrid at this grid last night. hopefully i'll be better now - if we are done with the cat discussion :)
when you click for the definition it doesn't exist
*blush* they strove to make us "dignified young ladies*. *ahem*
that happens with a surprising amount of words, anotherone
TO...but did they succeed?
TO, your dignity, grace, and elegance just exudes through the chat.
lol - very rare I check the definitions
I finished ... despite being set upon
*snorts iced tea* WHAAAAAAAAA?
sorry..I said the wrong one it is ty 7/36
lamo
lol
in this day and age, no prep school is gonna succeed at that...
Oh, thanks Scrabbler....
congrats enemy :)
Are you breathing OK, TO?
wondered what I was missing there
TO--sounds like it was a good school...
congrats enemyisME
*snort* *gasp*

ta 7/32 == ta + **** alto in CA and plural
one is the Chinese business man the other is ta 4/5 plus tick and vowel and snake
thanks!
i thought I had copied saomethign, scrabbler, but I didn't so an earlier paste showed up. SORRY
It was funny, Pam, to see that.
oh, enemy - about last night - i appreciate your sentiments and understand your frustration. however, unless you actually enjoyed the fracas (in which case, carry on), may i suggest the maxim, "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"
ye s- i mean i've been asked to google a clue, but no one has ever posted s tie for me.....LOL
thanks, scrabbler
Hey - I'm back - saw a friend and her baby - he's soo cute. ANy news about Kate's husband?
Well, what would I do with a fly anyhow?
hi matty - he's home
kill it :)
welcome back mattygroves:)
or at least, stop it from buzzing around annoying you
here i sit still with only one k...... i thinkit's time to call it a morning. see you later!
I will be gone soon and intend to be less visible
gone? less visible? hmm... sorry to hear that.
None sharper than a serpent's tooth, than a sarcastic, confrontational individual who likes to roil the waters
pa 7/32..pls
yes matty he's home and safe
Oh, I'm so pleased for you - what happened?
what's the theme - oh, hi everyone!
hi melon - it's favortie gemstone, but i left the canary in the vault (well actually, that icon is at work*
his boss collapsed and he had to deal with it, then he crashed with a friend
oh, how to choose? back in a bit.
well, scarlet, if you are implying I am such an individual..... you are entitled to your opinion .... I am sure you are much more accomplished at accepting accusations that are untrue. Now, I will never speak about this agiain.
may i just say, if one person does become a bit brusque, when others respond unkindly or condescendingly and dismissively, the situation does not tend to improve.
well enemy...scarlet and anyone else involved in this seeming finger-pointing session. all i can say is freedom of speech also exists in babbleland. no need for harsh feelings here...people say what they think and we are ALL entitled to do so. lets just move on and ALL be babble friends
Oooh, what have I missed?
(Kate, I'm soooo pleased for you - did you kiss him or punch him for not phoning?)
just what I was wondering matty!
chat log, 12:30-1:30, somewhere in there.
not sure matty... i kinda came into it in the midst also...from what i gather enemy said something that offended someone
oh i only went out to make the tea have i missed something
hello all
happens every day...forgive n forget
hello sandr:)
hi sandr
hi sandr
well, cleveland's most welcome Indian summer has departed :( - time to b*tch about the weather again!
lol melonheadjujube... good way to diffuse a difficult situation... we'll talk about the weather! ;)
enemy began by very kindly defending my right to talk about politics. the responses were not altogether ideal, and enemy became brusque, and a large amount of Fundamental Attribution Error took place.
pa7/32 please
latin plural of pa6/21
bye, bbl....
bye pam:)
guess i need that one too hurshy
nevermind
I haven't hit him yet, I've squeezed the life out of him though
that's cool hursh...if others don't wish to discuss politics while others do, they do not need to chat about it... prob there were others who did not wish to discuss politics and they could easily have discussed other things ....it's a large chat log...plenty of room for everyone''s discussions
pa6/21 the sheen on a surface when it ages
yes, quite right cathyar. except for that ridiculous large party of teen trolls we had in here that one time... they hardly left room for anyone else to get a word in edgewise, lol
gotta hate it when that happens, huh?
one troll is manageable, but a whole classroomful...
There are a lot of nice people here, I wll miss you.
do the trolls not eventually get banned?
Trolls are usually best ignored (though I do enjoy a bit of troll baiting from time to time, as I'm evil that way)
where ya going enemy?
whither goest thou, enemy?
90 left to go
no need to go! we LOVE YOU!
yes cathyar, we did manage to get rid of the trolls eventually - but doc was not immediately available, and they were... extremely cumbersome
yay smooth
are you talking about the two trolls yesterday?
goooo pappa
61 left here
you can't even read about it cause doc deleted all their posts from the chat log, lol. no pappa, i'm talking about something that happened much longer ago.
is it just me, or is this a tricky grid - i'm just not seein'm.
ah... nevermind, then. lol Back into the grid I go!
i don't know what is going on - don't particulary want to - but please don't leave - there is room 4 everyone - i love this game largely because of the community - lets all be babble buddies and don't sweat the small stuff - hey its all small stuff!
yay cathyar.....go buster
true nuff sandr
trolls on babble! say it ain't so!
i think it's a very tricky grid
lol chj
the classroom of trolls was rather amusing ...
VERY tricky
This is Reeses mum. What is a teen troll.
oh blow i missed the trolls lol
ok homemade cookies to whomeve can give me the k words! i am fed up! hi chj
woah! Hi reeses! haven't seen you in quite a while
a teen is just a teen, and a troll is a person who comes into the chat room and tries to annoy people.
trolls are people that pop into the site and slam our friendly group...not to mention take up all the space int he chat log
or reeses mom, whteveer. lol
if i don't get them sooni will be forced to go to the mal.. and you know what that means....
being of norwegian extraction, i think the word troll has gotten a bad name
owl, do you have the eyeliner and plural?
lol...who's that trip trip trapping across my bridge ;)
(I want cookies!!)
I second that CHJ... in fact, just outside of madison, there is a little norwegian town with it's own "trollway" lol
Ok. Thank you. This is Reeses MOM not Reeses.
oh, does troll come from norway? do tell us about the etymology, chj!
hi TO
ok - to i have 2 4 letter k's - family (plural
ty dorens
lots of words that reverse to another word this grid
kina
im back..and missing one ki
there's one :)
i dont know that they originated there, but the troll is a cute little good luck charm in norway
i didn't but i will be sure to pick some up at the mall lol
and change the last letter to a vowel
I try to keep track of what she does and babble she does like. Even though she is only 12.
oh, sorry

Thank- you eeryone - I didn't think I'd ever grey out the K box!!
pain
all we have is a swedish shop. my sister in law tells me that swedes and norsemen are like oil and water
even bex seems to have abandoned us. these kids get older, they get a life, and then we see them no more...
whoops.. my bad!
glad to see the hairy nose dolphin
take advil, pappa
awww smooth papa
no bex any more?? :(
it's this grid X /
i haven't seen her in a while. i do think she is getting out more, socializing. it's probably for the best.
nutty... youll be happy to know that marc-andre had an assist in yesterdays losing effort
Cute icon Atalante
either that or i was a huge disappointment when i visited her
like the hatfields and the mccoys
the montasgues and the capulets
she also says they tell norweigein jokes
but whyohwhy?
Looks like I'll have to use the list - I hate going to it before the 100 mark...perhaps somene could clue some Ks for me before I resort? I have three ki4s and one ko4 and a plural ko5...
thats because they are not smart enough to tell polish jokes
because marc andre is super penguin!
another ko4/5 combo matty
hi all
LOL i did NOT want to bring that up but she says they tell them like some people like to tell polish jokes
so... nobody has the top i or the bottom e?
hi MVA
I've just hit the100 - never thought I'd get that far! This is a tricky grid
matty i just clued all the k's within the last 10 minutes

Hursh, top i is in + type of soap **e
I'm having trouble with those too hurshy

hi bunny! you're inthe grid today! : D
what happened about your cat? did the vet think it was ringworm?
the e is ep 7/32 - ep + vowel + a common babblet starts with n and is all vowels (def- a rear vestibule, as of a classical temple)
ty bunny for in
Yup, gave me a bathing solution with betadyne (sp), cream and an oral treatment.
WOW, WOW, WOW. thanks bunny.
aha refreshing *3* times did it!
TO, am I?
did he/she feel that your other cats were unlikely to catch it, being outdoorsers?
and hursh the top i is the fine wood decoration without the first vowel
french bunny
thanks bunny! be careful that stuff is catching
He said they probably would not, but to keep the kitten in the kennel and give him a call if I needed to, he'd work out a payment plan with me (thank god!!, nine cats!!).
lol bunny loe the iconlol
*pats self on back for diagnosing job*
hey who has the 8?
I never would of thought that was what she had, never seen it. Though she'd gotten in a tuff with a racoon or something, so thank you for the advice!

Hurshy--Grammar Professor

a ya5/25 so powerful that we remember it yevermore
ta6 - first three letters of what the dog wags, then what you cook in
i just love that it has the english and spanish of the same word right in a row, makes for a fun clue.
Haz is that for me?
college was a ya5/24 in my life, i yenjoyed it yimmensely
Yes, Flask. sorry - I should have made it clearer.
and the an 4 after the spice?
not if you don't know spanish

LOL Hursh - I was waiting for someone to ask for that one !
TY Smarty Pants Hurshy--are you done?
not getting that silver clue...
i know, i've been dying to give that clue since i found it, lol (yes i've been done for awhile)
my pants are not particularly smart - they are ordinary, somewhat baggy jeans
phand - start with pa5.12 pa + a metal *** can - then add a vowel
no7/32 - hurshy ?
i hope your tub has a no7/32 surface, or you could break your neck!
Need help with the no6
ahahaha--ty hurshy, I just got the "no friends" one. good clue

the no6 clue, as you see from nonnie's post scrabbler, is a bit joky
Got it, hurshy
ep7?
I didn't get the joky one
ep7 - strong contender for weirdest word ever - add vowel, then na4/4 babblet
n + op gem, and pl, bichon.
i think that ep is my new favorite word. now i just have to learn how to pronounce it.
HaHaHa thanks

bison and buff*** are used interchangeably but buff*** is intended to distinguish from water buff*** which are not bison at all.
fi 8: the end of it all
morefi 5/16-fi8
hello everyone :)
hello cybernan:)
Who cares? Everyone knows what they intend when they say buffalo or bison.
how many ty's are there -- don't have any?

No offence intended - that's just me. It drives me WILD when people qualify unique - like 'very unique'. Because I'm sad like that ;)

the whole stinkin puzzle has me by the short hairs
thnx
actually all the o's are normal except the oh babblet.
those were the easiest to gray, wish the a's were as easy
quite graphic, nl
ah but maybe mymuse just means that because there are so many o's, it makes the puzzle dizzying as a whole, and i do concur.
thns

keep looking for curia!
the na4/4 babblet nan
Bye mymuseisme
ren ...it has been so windy all last night and today and still going strong!!!
isn't curia latin?

Last night was pretty awful here too, much calmer tonight though, thank goodness
pi6,21?
hildegarde hummingbird, strong as the wiiiiiiiiind
pi + not win
thanks hurshy I needed that one too
ty hurshy
glad things are calming down now...hope we do not get it any worse...fingers crossed!!
i really need to learn latin, and spanish and italian, and get better at french, and remember more of my greek. it would be so fun to know lots of languages.
whats the babblet greek tempple
n + 3 vowels
There have been several words in this one that I've not seen before
LOL hurshy...me too...get us both some lessons somewhere
hildegarde, brave hildegarde...
pa 5 after the pots and *
What about German, hurshy? You haven't lived until you've tackled compound words.
pa + metal
we have had such a wonderful summer...so I suppose we should expect some awful weather now!!
phantom eonian
hurshy, who is hildegarde?
german is so harsh sounding... (no offense...)
why didn't I think of that?
It lends itself to being shouted, that's for sure.
hildegarde hummingbird... a character played by lady elaine fairchild in the mr. rogers opera about bubbleland
latin? -- could be -- haven't studied ancient cultures since grade 7 -- that was half a century ago! (feeling old today!)
Mo I reckon we might even get some heavy snow this winter
Hi Haz....is it not late for you here ?
It is, Karys - I had people for lunch today and this is my first chance to get babbling.
it was the best of the operas.
what is the babblet?
was it a good one Haz ?
sh6,33?
although the one with the purple kittycat and the door in the middle of nowhere was also excellent.
Hoot...it's the sometimes 'strange' words that appear quite often here
mkl - the third letter is NOT a vowel.
Well, I was happy with lunch. There were 10 of us, three courses and some second helpings requested, so I think satisfaction all round.
sounds good, whatever did you do to be so afflicted with people ?
I guess my kids outgrew Mr. Rogers, before that came up
ty again hurshy
I have a husband who loves to invite people.....
outgrew mr. rogers? why, i still watch the reruns now. i feel that if everyone watched mr. rogers, the world would be a better place.
thanks Hurshy
hi everyone
well wats the temple
n + 3 vowels, hoot
and he has a wife who is 'happy' to entertain ?
hi saphyre
Hello saphyre
ok
lovely icon saphyre
thanks Karys
I do enjoy cooking, and love making a bit of a fuss. So it's a good combination - he invites, I cook!
ha 5/12?
rhymes with a minister's church owned home
the medieval guild for Baltic port cities
'bout the same as here then Haz...I enjoy entertaining cooking...but then I just enjoy feeding people !!
ren ....I hope we do get some snow here ...while we have lived here we have only had snow for about 2 days every year...that is in 12 years
thankks, hurshy -- didn't see it
I love seeing clean plates!
i went to see the doctor of philosophy with a poster of rasputing and a beard down to his knee
rasputing. oh how a typo can ruin a song.
I love seeing their pleasure in what you present !...(very vain !)
closer i am to fine...
Is there a different clue for the ta7/32 I can't get?
hi everyone
Hi Annie
hello annie
there are 2 Flask....do you have either of the ta6's ?
Hi Annie
but karys, they are pleased. there is a fallacy that if one enjoys pleasing people, it's somehow not as good as if one did things for others without wanting to, but i do not agree with this. getting pleasure through giving it to others is a very high good.
does anyone know if kth's husband came home from work? He was 12 hours late and she was frantic and we were all concerned for her
yes Annie !
yes he had a good excuse but should have called, all is well.
(duh hurshy, if you called it a fallacy, obviously you don't agree with it, you redundant girl you)
no I don't Karys....but Its not the one with pots and pa**s
Karys, thank you! hurshy thank you! can you tell me the errant husband's excuse.
Haz...it's a sort of self gratifiaction !!!!...now is'nt that a good word for a Sunday night ??!!
last sn pls
his boss collapsed and he had to deal with the situation, and then it was very late and he crashed at a friend's house.
It is - I enjoy the making of the food, the setting of the table, the look on people's faces when they see the table, the comments when they enjoy the food.
i do not know if that is collapsed as in heart attack or as in mental block unable to do work.
last sn - sh6/33 minus the h
thanks, hurshy...she was so upset, I felt terrible for her. She called the hospitals and the police. I am so glad for the happy ending...
Flask...water spout + al4/4 changed round
pass the fish pls
thank you
Haz...have you also got this thing about having just the right serving dishes etc...etc ?
Yes, indeed. And napkins folded and flowers done.
Bears just got a safety, leading Vikings 23-6
if i were opening a hospital, i would call it the Hospitable Hospital
ty for the update, doub
oops doug
7 words left and 5 of the are so's!
thats it Haz...twin souls here !!

Hi Haz, it is indeed interesting
Hi Ren8
Interesting can be used to cover all sorts of things!
interesting --- that's what my daughter always says when she gets a gift she really doesn't like. LOL
yes, lots of interesting things going on today, the grid for one and the chatlog has been quite interesting today.
I like that Katydid.
It's like 'experience'. When someone tells you 'It was an experience' you know they would rather not have had it...
how true.
yep, it sure is Haz

green bay cost me money :( - they got demolished by the jets
e plus mathematical symbol thing (two letters), then the temple babblet.

It's a great story, usually credited as being the first detective novel.

Glad to help, mo.
oh but your welcome! :)
I took it last year, before I had my digi.
There is no na7.
smooth - that's cause blue is for boys, lol - did you use a filter for that pic, or were you just incredibly lucky to catch those colors live & in person?
so nonchalant, douglas, about the score!!!
may that na4/7 that I can't see
na4/7 - na plus the possibility word (two letters)
Tennessee beats Indianapolis 20-17 on a 60-yard field goal with 7 seconds left.

wow, douglas, that is some finish!!!!!
New Orleans wallops San Francisco, 34-10
I didn't use an actual filter. In winter, the ice can do incredible things with the light, plus it was on of those sunsets where the whole sky is on fire. I did however, do a little photoshop touching up. Smoothed out some of the contrast, and softened the image
of crap, I deserve a fish for that one, thanks Haz
That's okay, peri!
that ae-1 is great! before I had it, it was my dads. It has never needed any maintanence, beyond changing the battery every 6 months. lol

Bye pam - I should go too. Have a good evening all.
New York Jets wallop Green Bay, 38-10. Who was it here betting on Green Bay? You have serious thrill issues!
bye pam, haz
cold weather... besides beng hell for batteries and some equipment, can provide great weather anomolies for photography... even the quality of the air is better to shoot in

does anyone else ever consider putting a GPS chip in their spouse and kids? I panic when my Tom is only an hour late, would be in bad way if he ever disappeared for half a day.
61 here :o(
stid - Now, there's an idea!
he's fine. Sitting here doing his post-dinner wash.
go Julie go!
I did with my teenage daughter stid

I have no op**** on that clue, cliffopa! ends like the bulbous smelly veggie
Sure I can phan :o) Don't need to sleep. sleep is for the weak ;o) lol
op 7 - that is just my humble op*
Are the a's odd words or am I just inept?
ty ty stidmama.
and phandmd
Julie, that's scary all right. My kids have a few years before they're that old, still trying to figure out early adolescence right now!
yes smithchick! LOL
which ones are you looking for?
smith I am having such a hard time with these darned a's
the AE are the long time words of course
LOL
the AA looks like dutch for "everything"
the ai are the last four letters of pa 5 words (plurals)
holler when you want more A clues
Sorry, hubby called. Back in a minute
MORE>>>>>>>>>>>>>
alan
AL 4/4 al + neutral pronoun
ugh, can't believe I couldn't see that, thx stid
stid she's only 16 and I can do nothing about it :( got to just be ready to pick up the pieces if she needs me.
al 5/14 al + first person subject pronoun + 3 point tile + vowel
onto the an's
At the moment just got the 2 boys and hubby to drive mad *g*
the al 6/24 looks like the masculine plural of that
any of the pa's between pots & pa** and the 'bribe'
no7?
wow. 16 seems young to me, but a lot of kids do seem to move out at that age.
the n's are driving me loopy
no 7 - surface textured so you don't fall is a no***** surface
not-sliding surface Eva?
thanks stid and cliff. Who would have thunk it?
pa6/21 is the green film on copper or bronze
I think I am going to bed. This cold is getting to me...
Okay...back. Poor hubby wasn't interested in taking a back seat to Babble.
then add latin plural
feel better phan
hope some sleep helps you phan

I hope The Management's got security on this chatlog today, what with all these precious stones lying around.
love your sparkler, jac
So do I, jilli. Wish it was mine!
me too!
hello, 59 to go
It would be dreadful if we all had to 'refresh' and came back to empty black icon squares! LOL.
Hi Harp. You're looking very festive today.
shudder!
hi jac
*Jac now praying that Dr_God doesn't decide that might be a very amusing idea.*
having nightmares here my firefox keeps crashing
ka-booom!!! -- thanks jilli, stidmama, lickety and all!

Hi, Hell.
hey jac - saw your earlier comment re: security - hahaha
brb...mom is on phone
Well, Hell, there's quite a few bob'sworth of sparklers here today...
thanks jac but rebooted whole pc and no joy. for some reason when my son plays runsescape using ie firefox keeps crashing after
all right dinners in the oven... this meal, just might work!
anyone want a clue before I leave?
julie - My son could probably tell you why that happens but I doubt if either of us would understand the answer.:(
I'm okay, thanks, cybernan.
no 7/32 pls?
smooth - have other meals not worked then?
People keep calling...hey harp and helen and daisy
LOL sounds like my husband jac. I gave up asking him 6 months after I met him
no6: not prefix + skid
hi smith :)
he deals with the pc's when he's in the right mood and I deal with washing machine. Which I think bewilders him as much as computers befuddle me
hiya smith!

They fail every now and then jac.... this one... I wasn't sure about, but it's looking good
help with the io 6/18 please?

Hey feather

io 6: charge electrically
*whimpers* no 7...my last word...
just clued the no 7

ko4/9 anyone?
no7/32 - a type of surface you definitely wouldn't want on an ice rink or toboggan run.
no7: not prefix + skid
never mind...found it.
well, it was going to be a simple chicken breast with a cranberry/honey/lime sauce... but then I discovered that my chicken reasts are stuffed with what appears to be feta... should make it even better... if they stay in one piece
eye pencil like the egyptians used smith
ko4/9 (& plural 5) - Egyptian eye makeup or German chancellor.
ty, gandj

Hi Enomis. I'm almost human again after a week of the cold/flu thingey bug.

Well done, smithchick!

thank you!!!!!
I've decided that my house will just be a wreck until Wednesday. That way I won't stress out about it.
good for you smithchick
it's good to have a plan, smith
Of course, it would probably be a wreck until Wednesday without the three nephews, but nobody has to know that.
hey again!
the less stress the better when lots of kids are concerned :o) good thinking

ooooo metal, I love your icon

I love all of these gemstones. I do love the sparklies
Okay, I'm off. Bye all
julie, i like your angel! very pretty
i agree, smith. i am easily distracted by shiny objects. this grid might take me a while.
has anone here ever succeesfully quit smoking?
bye smith -- have fun!
night smith, enjoy your sleep
I did smooth 13 years ago
how?
LOL ty jilibus
lol leslie
smoked for 11 years before that
I know all the literature, and the aides... but it is soooo hard!
yw enom
So did I 12 years ago
smooth - Me and Paul almost did last week whilst unable to breathe due to the Dreaded Lurgey.
just stopped, hard it was but when I had a brain tumor and it was removed decided life was to short to smoke
any clue for the sh 7?
saying that my husband can't do it smooth. he has taken drugs, chewed gum, worn patches and no joy for him
Smooth, I have to say it rates high amongst the best things I ever did.
jacula - what is the dreaded lurgey? that's what bus calls a hangover cause his dad used to say it
We seem to be smoking again now though.:( Allan Carr's book is very good - gives you good reasons to stop and stay stopped. I did try hypnotism but that made me smoke more!:(
ahhhhh... I was almost killed in an accident a few years ago, but that made it even harder... at that time (and I know its dumb) I felt like since life could end at any minute, why stop something that will kill me decades from now
smoooth -- I quit in 1989 after about 47 years of smoking, and I'm glad!
My dad was a doctor... I know all the reasons, and have seen the pictures... and ahave tried the gum... but it is so hard to give it up
I did the stop dead and cold turkey method. It was hard but short and sweet.
Hell - The Dreaded Lurgey is whatever cold/cough/flu bug is doing the rounds and felling everyone. It's symptoms vary, depending on which DL it is.
I need to just buckle down and do it
lol - tx jac!
AArgh! Greengrocer's apostrophe! 'Its symptoms...'
not dumb smooth. We all react differently. It's finding what works for you best
My kids all smoke, and have all used various methods to stop, but i think in the end youve just got to take a big breath, hold your balls and jump into the void
years ago, smooth, CBS ran a TV program on WHY you smoke -- in my case it was (blush) oral gratification mostly. So I used Nicorette gum (there were no patches then and anyway, they're not oral) and a fake cigarette called Paipo which dragged like a real one and had a refreshing menthol flavour.
i think you're right spanner
that's how you did it spanner? held your balls and jumped into the void?
smooth - I have every sympathy because my smoking habit is as entrenched as yours. I'm determined to try again soon though. We saved so much money not smoking last week!
Please help, I have ONE left : so 6/18... Can't seem to find it
LOL - Yes, and spanner now has a pink 'handbag' icon. *grins*
Never gave any thought to why I smoked Jilli.
Its hard I know, cause Ive been through it, but i couldnt do with the fannying around. You are either smoking or youre not
My husband has been chewing nicorettes for 10 yrs! He's a chain-chewer, but the docs say at least he's not putting smoke in his lungs.
Methephorically speaking...
ok, i have another no 4/4 that i can't see. no clue why these are giving me such trouble! anyway, the one after the no5/14?
Enomis - add a vowel to the end of the so/10 before it.
That's what was so good about that program -- it had a quiz which helped determine your reasons. I wish they would do it again.
I really smoked...loved it. But you know it was worth giving up, if only from a financial point of view
TY Jacula - I just found it *******FIREWORKS********
Well done, Enomis!
wtg enomis!!!!!!!!
Congrats
hooooray enomis!
yayyy Enomis
well done :o)
no4/4 -- you might say the last 25 letters of the alphabet are no**
YAY enomis!!!
now I'm going to go and find my last 7 words...
Jacula am i allowed to ask where you live in worcestershire?
feather - french no + 1st vowel
jilli - I have one of those fake ciggies that drag. Had it years. I thought about using that + patches. Also have a thing you sniff (called Logado). Don't know if you can still get it now but it gives you the same kind of hit the first drag of a cigarette gives you. Very useful for short term cravings (whilst in a non-smoking place).
I wish I could go a week, jac.
thank you enomis!
and jilli, didn't see you there
Smooth have faith. When the time is right for you, then you will do it
smooth - I'd be lying if I said I didn't smoke at all last week. But, how stupid, carefully forcing a fag down me, trying not to inhale, when I could hardly breathe without coughing anyway, just to satisfy the nicotine demon inside.
well people it's been nice but I have to make lunches, baths, stories, etc... See you tomorrow night!
I haven't seen one of those fake ciggies for ages -- they were such a good crutch
Bye Enomis
bye enomis
spanner - a smallish village 10 miles from Birmingham, 5 from Bromsgrove. Are you from Worcs., too?
Yup, just outside malvern
Jac -- just think of no more filthy stinking ashtrays and not having to worry about whether or not you're running out of cigs and all the other nuisances
'Bye, enomis.
how about the no7?
spanner - We used to go walking on the Malverns when we had the dog.
Jac which village
Have you heard of the Lickey Hills, spanner?
spanner and jac -- I went to Malvern Grils' College briefly, but the buildings had been taken over in Sept 1939 because of the war so the school was in Somerset!
Not too far from there, but on another set of hills.
jilli - Yes, I remember you telling me about being in Malvern.
5 left
Yeh! Its a small world.. Jac, I used to go to the lIckey hills to walk the dog when I lived in the Black country
Was that Halesown, spanner. We get lots of Black Country folks up there, and on our nearby hills. My Other Half's from Walsall.
*Halesowen.
Jilli I went on a cruise this summer, and we had to see a member of the crew, who happened to be cana dian, but had been bought up in malvern and also went to Malvern College
Need any clues, jilli?
Jac, I am a Gornalite through and through (Gornal is between Dudley and Sedgley)
spanner - a cruise sounds nice. Where did you go?
jac, do you have the no7?
Boys', though, right? As you say, small world, especially now with such easy travel compared to the olden days
I know Gornal, spanner.
I'd like to find my last 3 clueless, thanks, jac -- lol
feather - no7 = what you want the soles of your boots to be in icy weather.
thanks!
Isnt it great though. I love the fact that I have friends all over the globe
Okay, jilli. Like me, you are! LOL.
I was born and bred in Ruiton.... (Probably explains why i cant complete one of these puzzles) LOL
spanner - Sorry for being vague but, if you know the area you can probably work out where I am. I don't want to say my location on here.
39 to go. If I can do 10 an hour, I'll have it finished by flip time
43 left here. ugh.
yippedy doo dah, gottem -- fireworks
Jac Its cool. You are only up the way from me...

Ah, right! You confused me there for a moment, melon.
la5/14 church people not clergy
brb
I think you have to be careful, you dont know who is out there
i'm multitasking - doin several things not well - mostly helping kid w/homework, babbling, chatting - i'm not clever enough to juggle all that!
thanks jilli...I'm working on it...
i so want peony to be in this grid - one of my favorite flowers.
absolutely! Althoug, I've had really good luck with online people. I was part of a game that ended up shutting down, for a couple of years... we had get togethers in various cities around the US and canada, and I went to a couple and met great people. I also met my ex online. We were together for two years. but there is alwas the danger
smooth - I've met up with quite a few people I've first spoken to on the internet, including my Other Half! And, no, we didn't meet on a dating site! However, those of us that have met up exchanged personal details off site. Spanner - if you want ot contact me via the ez message board on BabAnon, I will reply.
Hi all, need help with al6/24 please
Jac its fine, its just nice to know Im not the only one round here still awake at 1.26am, with nothing better to do ;) *joke*
oooh... dinner is almost ready!
Hi peri. al6/24 - Al* Babar + ***emite Sam.
chicken is so tender!... with a sweet/sour/salty smeel coming from it. :-D
spanner - I should be sleeping, but I want Paul to get properly to sleep first so that I don't disturb him with my coughing & flinging the duvet back due to frequent hot flushes.
Boy, I sure didn't know that word. Interesting
smooth - Oh good! Enjoy!
thanks Jac, new word for me
smooth, enjoy your dinner
al6/24 is plural exodus.
Jac, I just have to snatch moments when no one is calling on my time at the moment....
pa 5/12 after what you cook in?
spanner - I know the feeling! I meant what I said about contacting me through BabAnon though.
3rd an5/10 please
30 left and I would really like to finish
plural of an4/4
feather - pa5/12 = pa + another word for 'can'. (Not the toilet!)
Hi Une.
179 left and no chance of finishing...Ha Ha Ha
Une I have that as the 2nd an5/10
hey, jac
actually I have that as the first an5/10
second is a cousin to a veggie that makes you cry
hoo - passed halfway & didn't even notice - the 7s are messing me up tho - only 3 + the 8 so far

3rd an5/10 is the aromatic plant used in sweets and drinks.
got that one Une
third an4/4 is a babblet--an + South America

And Spanner... 82 to go.
of course, Une, thanks so much
yw :-)
the only 7s i have are: fi, li, & op - clues would be most welcome
Hi Ankh.
no7 like a mat in a bathtub
Oh, Spanner, a Weim!! How beautiful! How old, what name, etc etc?
good evening happy babblers!!!!!!
melon - Hang on and I'll clue the 7's for you. Can do just a 2-ltr. list for now if wanted though?
hi mamabear
25 left
(Admire's Une's pretty girl too, of course!)
Hi MAMMABEAR!!
:-D
Hello, Mamma (and that should be "admires" and not "admire's" too sleepy!)
hi bear!
hi garyandjulie .... peri!! ank, jac, une, smooth!!!
sure jac :0 give me a min.
Hi,Mamabear. I was asking after you not long ago!
evening, mama!
you were? what did I do? (or not do?)
ankh. He is called Blue he is just over two and is a puppy.... ( a complete marshamllow..)
melon, did you see my no7 clue?
merci, aix! i just new that suffix had to have a word at the other end of it..
would chocolate labs then be chocolate marshmallows?
Mama - I just hadn't seen you for a while, that was all. Wondered if you were okay.
Could be mama
melon, ta7/32 (plural of ta6/21)--businessman in China
well, I appreciate the concern jac!!!! I am still breathing in and out - all the basics I guess
Glad to hear it, Mama!
I heard that businessman in China clue last nite - didn't get it then and I still don't..... dumb me
hi again evryone
evenin saphyre!
Mama, sounds like what a Bangkok native cooks in
ta7/32 (1st) is a very poisonous Australian snake.
night everyone.
(Well plural snakes, actually)
Blue! Such a good name for a Weimer boy. :) They are *all* marshmallows. Our cousins have a giant Weimergirl named Sage, whom we dogsit from time to time.
jac - here's what i need (a tall order): ep7/32, pa7/32, sh7/40,ta7/32(both), ty7/36
Night Angela.
hi -- back again -- did anyone give the pa7 clue?
Don't have it, Jilli.
it's an odd plural form of hte one above it
Melon - Okay. ep7/32 is the rear vestibule of a classical temple. ep + personal pronoun + n4/4 word meaning 'temples'.
pa7/32 -- Latin pl of pa6/21
TY, Feather.
pa7/32 is the Latin plural of the pa6/21 'sheen/lustre' word.
how about the pa6/27 down at the end of the pa words? i know the first three letters
Weimies are all characters I think
Weimies are all characters I think
last pi4/7 please
hi everyone1 : )
ankh - I finished a while ago and am here to give clues if needed
sh7/40 - is how your s boots twinkled after a good polishing!
NM
fi6/27 and fi7/40???
peri -- you don't have the last pi4/7? What a pi**
it is a pi4/7 that I can't seem to find all the words myself
Oh! Of course you did. In that case, Jilli, I am dense and need more help with the ep - temple... can you suggest another approach?
pa6/27 is money people used to give "under the table" to radio dj's to get them to play their song
ta7/32 = venomous Australian snakes. (Sounds like Eastern cooking pots, sort of.)
pk who need what, ankh?
ha 5 12 anyone please
jac don't forget that's a plural to
ep7?
hi temple!!!
omg i cannot believe that's in there une! and i so wanted shine lustrous word with that ending
i'm not getting the dj clue, sorry
Oh, good bribe clue, Une!
oils
oops sorry
feather: end with same three letters as old time record player - brand name rca
ep7/32 -- ep + me myself and * + na4/4 (n + 3 vowels babblet)
i got it!!!!!!1
Feather, you're too young. Umm, let's see, it's like ***check +cray***
before i saw the next clue too!
{{{MAMABEAR}}}}
how the heck are you?
whew, got the ep7--thanks, jillibus!
2nd ta7/32 - is a plural coarse threaded Mexican shawl. ta* (what water comes from) + bitter a**e + usual plural consonant.
Jilli, I have never seen the temple before. Gosh. What a weirdword!
oh good, une!
good owl, and you?
Gotta go. Happy babbling all
bye, spanner
ankh -- it shows up here quite often!
i'm fine ty
hi ankh!
ty7/36 is an antibiotic. ty + fighting a *****g battle.
Bye, Spanner! Bye, Blue!

Hi, Pappa, good chicken?

just found that one, thanks jili\
last two an words please - 4/4 and 5/10?
Mind you, I still haven't written the letters to go with them.
peri: quite possibly some of the better food I've had in my life... and I've hada lot. lol
Hmmm! I would never have thought to combine those flavors. I would like the recipe for the sauce, if you're willing. :)
papp, did you cook that?
glad you enjoyed it smooth
oh, you are perfection personified, jac! LOL
Oh, Jac, I haven't even touched my cards. :(
Jac, not sure I have all the pi4 words, will recheck my list

ankh... I don't ereally have a recipe... but I can try to improv. ;)
i haven't even BOUGHT my cards
sh6/33 please?
about a cub of cranberries a couple cups of water, about a half cup of hoeny, and the zest and juice from 1/2 lime... boil... smoosh berries, and let col
Last year, I slogged away at an individual letter for at least half of the 100 or so I send cards to. This year, I'm going to go back to composing a typed 'Dear..... (fill in name), Well, what a year it's been! We.... did this, did, that. How are you? Love from.... P.S. (put in personal note in own handwriting.) Am intended to compose said letter of next day or two.
I didn't have to buy any cards, TO. We got loads in the sales last year.
i couldn't find ones i liked in the sales.
That's what we do Jacula, except I write the letter in a different "style" each year. One year, it was a Writing Assignment, one year it was a Supreme Court decision, one year it was like Lemony Snicket
still need last pi5/12 the pi4 before it can't be pluralized
I've done my form letter aand addressed the overseas envelopes -- still have to write the personal note (the hard part)
I get really nice Christmas and Chanukah cards in the Dollar store
could I have clues for the al 5/10 and al 6/18 please
mr write, that sounds great!
WOOHOO! Fireworks! Anyone need any clues before I go?
Have a good nite everyone - gotta go do stuff..... *waving and blowing kisses*
please clues for the last an4/4-5/10 and the in5/10? TY!
conrats Katydid
congrats Katy!
thanks all
bye mamabear. see you later!
Some people don't quite know what to make of our christmas letters because of the diferent styles, though, Jillibus. (-:
al5/10 -- a + 8888 of pork and pl for the 6
ok Owl - I'll try and come back later on
that was a + **** of pork, sheesh!
thanks jilli - thought I had tried that
sn5/18???
the last an 4/4 = an + first two letters of theopposite of happy, then add 2nd vowel for an 5/10
Pappa, thank you. Have emailed it to myself. :)
anyone have the last pi5/12?
in 5/10 = in + small particle
yw saph -- I did that a lot with this grid -- guess I had put the words in yesterday
it's really simple, ankh... and I love fruit glazes and sauces over meat... such a good contrast
ty katy!
sn 5/18 = sh 6/33 minus the second letter
ankh... diija get that camera yet?
katy, that is about the uniquest icon i've seen yet
We do too. Dear One cooks; I don't. Oh, nooo, no, I didn't yet! We tried to get out before I had to begin surg prep, but now it has to wait until after the eye op on Tuesday. :(
last pi 5/12 = pi + opposite of off + plural
UK Posting dates - for Xmas cards - 1st class 19th Dec. 2nd class - 16th Dec. Airmail to USA or Canada - 11th Dec. Australia & NZ - 8th Dec.
just monkeyed the pa4/9 :)
p + io4/4 = pi5/12
thanks!
thanks nut
eye opeation???
hi nut how was the shower?
thanks Katy, didn't have the pi4 either, new words for me
just as not fun as i expected owl
Okay, the bell tolls the bewitching hour. I'm outta here now. have a good one and happy babbling everyone!
the Snicket one was probably my favorite, hmm, do links work in the box here: http://www.engel-cox.org/meta/2004_chr istmas_letter.html
Katy =================>>> OUT
Yeah, yeah, annoying, Pappa. A cataract removal & relacement with bionic lens in left eye. Had the right eye done years ago. NOW I will be able to use binoculars again! I fell when I was 34, and that gave me early cataracts. Booo.
bye katy and congrats!
Bye, Katy!
done, at the same time as the cake and the roast finished. babble-dinner equillibrium!
MrWrite - A good idea re the Xmas letters.
But I'm on a weird drug which causes bleeding this week, so I am not leaving the house any more than absolutelyl necessary.
YAY clever harpjane!!!
take it back, ank wins the icon contest
wow! whata case, ankh!
They're hard to write year after year, but we love to receive letters so that's why we do it.
I do?? Thanks, Evan, I made the jewel myself! The original, the hamster sits on a coin for some reason. Some "buy gold" ad. Thanks, Pappa.
ankh you must tell mehow it is i am not ready to go to surgery yet but bad emought to be hampered by vision loss
Owl, either your doc or your insurance company is being laggard...?
both pa4/7 please
no he says it's not ready yet.
final lo 4/4 please?
gettind down to 13, the end is in sight
it's the thing to do where i work owl
Well, he's not the only doc in town. You could point out that "ready" is when YOU say it is, and YOU say you can't see now, you have insurance now, and you have the time now. See if that helps.
i assume we're talking aobut the eyezap
pa4/7 - pa__ cake, pa__ cake
yes i could do without this evan
thanks mrwrite, never saw that word with one T
clue for the other pa4/7
MrWrite - So do we (love to receive letters). I used to write loads before I got on the internet.:( If friends get short letters off me now, they complain! LOL.
Yeah, but still a good clue, MrWrite
ankh, nothign to do with insurance. i can see but at night it is not good. hard to say how much its that or the underlying disease
they all do it...it's like you haven't arrived unless you;'ve had it done.
the other pa4/7 is similar - think Superman's ___, Jimmy Olson
evan: messing with the eye is not routine or fun
Owl, that is the worst of cataracts -- they ruin your night vision. And either you limit your life, or you become a road hazard!
so5/14???
so5/14 like a male child
jac -{hat in hand} - the 1st pa7 escaped me. it has scrolled to the babble beyond.
thanks!
Mind you, MrWrite, my writing style can easily be influenced by the author I've been reading just before writing. I remember when I was reading Sue Limb's 'Bad Housekeeping', it was such a catching style that I couldn't help falling into it. My friends thought I'd gone bonkers!
Melon -- a copper item might have a green pa****, and then latin plural that.
melon - pa7/32 - Latin plural of the pa6/21 (sheen/lustre). pa + singer Miss Turner.
thanks mrwrite, got the other pa4, odd word
Heh, I do that too, Jacula--both in writing, and in speech. When we go to foreign countries, I mimic the sounds around me, even though I can't speak the language. It's the same with writing.
wait - i have that.
la5/14?
just read your Xmas letter, MrWrite -- wonderful! It's a veritable inspiration.
4th pa5/12 please, almost finished P words
la5/14 not clergy
mrwrite - Yes, I 'catch' accent, too.
*accents
ty une need the final lo4/4, too anyone?
Nm got it
Heh, thanks, Jillibus. Like I said, that one was fun to write, once I had the idea. Writing like Lemony Snicket is a real joy, strangely enough.
ty7/36???
I love getting these annual letteres, but I have a brother-in-law who hates them and refuses to read them -- tears them up without looking at them.
Write, where is it?? Huh? Yeah, me too, Stephie.
Sometimes, I also 'catch' stutters or twitches. That's quite worrying. I had a French teacher with an eye tic. She was lovely, but I'd end up looking and sounding... well, I don't know what, if I spent too much time one to one with her.
The other good one is the writing assignment one--I used to teach college writing, so that's where the inspiration came from: http://www.engel-cox.org/influences/ho liday_writing_assignment.html
Well, shame on him for his Scrooge-grinchiness. Weirdo. My brother is like that too. We have learned to avoid him.
My French was good though! LOL.
ta 6/21 please? either one?
ap5/12 please?
ta*wan + pots and ***s
That's funny, Jacula! Sounds like a great sitcom piece.
3rd pa6/21 please
i can't figure out which 7 i'm missing even looking at the clue list - i hate when that happens - got all but 1.
ta* water (from the faucet) + an angel has a h*** over head
ty7/36???
ap5 related to bees

MrWrite - I only got half of the address for your Xmas letter. Would you post it again, please?
Great clue, Jac, on stuffing. Peri, txs for ty.

Jules, don't have the ha5. :(
sh4/5 + a l*** pad
http://www.engel-cox.org/influences/ holiday_writing_assignment.html
gary - think Ha**** and Grettle (not sure how to spell) and drop last letter.
That's the one from 1999, when I was teaching college
phew! all 7s accounted for - mediocrity preserved - thanks for all the help XXXOOO - later!

My grandson is in Creative Writing at Montreal's Concordia U, my name is Jill, I have written a specialised book about Gt Danes (self-published and well reviewed) and would like to get it onto Amazon. Please email me (see my profile) if you care to give me some advice.

never mind!
Hello, everyone, back to finish my last four words
ya5/24 - think of foam crumb cushion filling but it doesn't start with 'ka'.
peri - not really meat eaters, are they?
don't know Jacula, will have to look into that
I'm in the Washington DC area, jillibus.
hi bubba and all who just arrived
bye everyone, see you tomorrow
bye, peri
Mind you, I did watch some chimps (which are apes) kill a baby chimp & eat it on Planet Earth the other day.:(
Night, peri
ahoy matey!
'Night, peri.
I know, MrWrite and so is a cousin of mine. I just wondered if you were still babbling!
hey owl!
first pa5/12, 6/21 combo??
Ah--yeah, I'm still around, although about to give up on this grid.
i need both pi6/21 and the pi4/7 following the secondone...
Hi Renfield - Your Xmas card is one of the airmail ones I've alreay addressed. Just got to write your letter now.
Mr W, did you get my message at 8:31? This chat is going so fast!
*already
pi + did not win
thanks mistress!
Yep, and already emailed you. (-:
pi + a not win
pi6/21 (1st) = pi + opposite of 'win'.
pi 6/21 - think about the veggie that makes you cry owl
thanks, MrW
it
pi6/21 (2nd) = gear system for steering, rack & pi****.
ty jacs and ren - thought i'd entered that last one
it's a pi** that you can't find the word
op7?
pi4/7 - see Stephie's excellent clue!
pa5/12, 6/21 combo (the first one)
op7 - what you think about a subject.
i have that pi4/5 need thye one before that
MrWrite, I'm south of Dulles.
in my op*****, today's grid is hard!
done! thank you!
Rennie - You might finally get the holiday report for Crete AND some piccies!
Well done, feather!
wtg feather!
congrats, feather!!
<waves at Ankh, my neighbor>
good night!
ankh... dulles, va? you're in the DC area?
TO - which pi4 do you need?
Stephie, I have to agree...this is one of the harder grids I've ever tried.
i'm good now, jacs, ty!
pi4/7 is what you feel for somone less fortunate than yourself, or someone who is in trouble.
Okay, TO.
Yes, this grid was a b*gger and no doubt! The small grids are often harder than the big ones when it comes down to it.
no7,32 please
no7/32 - what you want the soles of your boots to be on an icy surface.
first pa5/12 please??
how about ep7?
...and what you definitely don't want the surface of an ice rink or a toboggan run to be!
Thanks, Jac!!
pa5/12 - one long and three short syllables. Poetic term. Sounds a bit like a showy flower.
fireworks? ty for your help!
hoooray to!
ep + not out + an article + the french word for me (m**)
ep7 = the rear vestibule of a classical temple. ep + personal pronoun + n4/4 word that means 'temples',

Ah! Theme is favourite horror movie.
That's a hard one to decide!

yay saphyre!
congrats on the new job Faerie
suppertime -- back later
yes faerie - good luckon youur first day.
Maybe we should tell Babs that's what needs to be for the icon themes for the week before xmas.
TO - that's an excellent idea for a theme, if only we get our loved ones to look at our icons. If we're going with that, I'll stick with the icon I have now!
bye jili!
bye jilli
hell jacs i am buying it all for myself. and even looking at rings and big screen tv's
enjoy Jilli. Jac, me too. i'd love to have some blue saphyres
i am a dimaond girl all the way....
Good look in your new job, faerie.
actually, anything expensive and sparkly would be nice
The emerald may be the so-called birth sign for Taureans, but that assumes they were born in May. I was born April 22nd and I want a diamond!
fireworks!!
from your lips to god's ears to paul's mind
You share my grandson's birthday Jac! and my oldest sister was born on the 23rd...she's a diamond girl to the max
wtg, une!
I've had a garnet and a sapphire and neither of those did me much good. I'm going for a diamond this time - a proper one! LOL.
whoo hoo Unea
Well done, Une!
well neither did my diamonds but i am trading them in
thanks, all, and gnite
Hope so, TO!
TO - you'd better e-mail Paul with your offer then. LOL.
i inherited my mom's emerald ring. i'm afraid to wear it! i'm such a putz with rings.
omg it's past 10 PM here - see you all tomorrow. happy babbling!
so, jac, we're at the opposite ends of our sign -- I'm May 17, close to Gemini
Night To
g'night TO -- a demain
nite TO
jilli - my Dad was a May13th Taurean and my Mum's a June 4th Gemini.
GONE to supper!
time to eat be back later
My Hubs is a May 13th tauran.
Time to sleep here, I guess.
lbd - He'll be a lovely man then, like my Dad was.
yes he is jac. Definitely a keeper
I'm a May 6th Tauran.
I'm a May 6th Tauran too.
BTW- Hi.
Hi Minski Hi Capn
Hi all.
Yes indeed, lbd. Just like my Jan.19th Capricorn.
Wow, You're the 2nd person I've ever met/spoken with who has the same b-day as me.
I'm a dec 27th capricorn
I had a friend in college who shared my birthday. We would go out every year just the 2 of us because may 6th always fell during study days for final exams and noone else would join us.
My March 22nd Aries was around for 22/23 years and still is around to be a friend to me a a dad to our 2 kids. We were friends before, the fact that faithfulness got lost somewhere along the way on his part no longer matters; it's been a long time now and he's never let the kids down.
Woot :)
I'm off to bed. I'm fighting a cold and it seems the cold is winning right now.
Happy Babbling everyone
Get lots of rest cap. sweet dreams.
Capng - Good luck! I hope it's not the same bug as we here are still recovering from!
Jac, I'm glad he decided to at least be a good father
I think it's just a basic cold.
lbd - He's always been a good friend, too. He was just crap at the faithful hubby thing.
Capng - I hope so! Keep warm. Take some vit C.
back for more hair pulling. Hi all!
lbd - seriously, more seriously, that is, I am shocked at how many of our kids' friends never see their fathers! So many just bugger off, or are kept away by ex-wives.
Hubz and I are good friends, mates and partners. it's his second marriage, my first.
Our son is from his first marriage, but the kid is more like me than one wants to think sometimes. People even comment on how our grandson looks like me...hmm 6 degrees of separation?
i don't understand why the ex's have to be so nasty, especially when there are kids involved.
Hi book
Both my ex and my present partner (who has a daughter) keep in regular contact with their kids. Other Half's daughter is due back here next weekend for 2 weekends on the trot. She'll be spending her 12th birthday with us because a) she knows I'll make her a cake. LOL and b) We'll take her to see Eragon & she will probably get to go to KFC.
hi gwen... hi dawg
hey smooth! Jac, Birthdays are special and extra special when the kids want to be with us.
I'm quite wary of being 'loving' in a cuddly way with P's daughter, though I know she often wants me to be. It's just that my daughter HATED that if her Dad's new partner ever tried it. Mind you, that could be because she wasn't lovey-dovey with her own 2. I also know that I would not like it if my daughter got too cuddly with 'another mother'. However, much as I try to pretend to be 'The Wicked Stepmother', P's daughter sees right through me. Aw shucks!
But I am very wary of being a 2nd Mum.
any clue for the io6/18?
Good evening all,just trying to get a few words bofor jammy time.
Having said that, if anyone upsets her when I'm around, it's a different matter, both on the defending and the cuddling front!
you can't be the ugly step monster Jac. I told our son that I could be his friend and his step mother, but he had a biological mother and he needed to understand that i would not be replacing her. he was okay with that.
Mooch, take that little partical and charge it up
io6/18 - to rust.
Hi Hodag
lbd - Have had that convo. She knows that.
hi Ibd. hows it going?
12 is such an awkward age too. She'll need you to be her friend especially for the teen years.
going well Hodag. getting close to bed time for me tho. been a busy week-end
al6/24 anyone? Please?
lbd - probably easier for me to be her 'friend' than it would be for her real mum to be.
thanx lbd and Jac!
al+3rd vowel +toy that goes up and down on a string
al6/24 - exoduses.
erda, ***ce in Wonderland plus **gi Bear in yellowstone
plus s
al 6/24 = the boxer al* + first part of toy and plural letter
oh my -- never in a million years would I have got that! Thank you!
al6/24 - Mohammed Al* +3 letters.
How cold is it where your at,it is 16 here and last week it was 6o?
Jac, i think i'd rather be her friend during those years too. not as much drama.
How about no5/14?
Exactly, lbd!
It's currently 19 degrees Hodag. with several inches of snow on the ground
n+o4/6
erda, rhymes with lacey things you put on the arms of a chair
we have about 10".
Still re-establishing the ground with my own daughter after she spent 3 years in a clinic from 13 - 16. As you know.
all I can think of is antimacassars.....
I think winter is upon us Hodag. Jac, your daughter needs to build trust with you again. (((hugs)))
Snow in US doesn't always get to us in UK. Snow in Canada gets to us about a fortnight later. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas here??
erda do you have oi4/6? get that first if you don't have it.
antimacassars? what the heck Erda?
but I got it, lbd -- thanks!
Erda - LOL! Haven't heard that word for years!
or think "not greasy" and make it into a contraction
antimacassars? I'm hearing it today for the first time. Babble is so educational
LOL Erda you made my day!
same here Harp.
harp -- it would be like "early" as pronounced in New Jersey
Embroidered chair backs, lbd. Stopped the hair grease men wore from ruining the armchairs they sat in.
oh is that where the idea came from! boy you really do learn a lot here! :-)
well my dears, i need to get some clothes pressed and ready for tomorrow. Nighty night see you tomorrow
My brain shut down on this grid -- how about pa5/12? Please?
sweet dreams Ibda
pa+long ago word erda
never mind, got it
really, i'm off line.
Actually, I belive they should still be used, if not for reasons of hair gel, then the reason that men's heads seem to sweat more than women's and, even without greasy hair products, they still stain chair backs with their heads. My ex Pa-in-Law has ruined the one armchair of the dusky pink suite I gave them!
ty lbd
'Bye, lbd.
Need two more: pi 6/21 and so5/14...any contributions will be gratefully accepted!!
ko4/8??
pi - just like the op7 but without the o
ko + indefinite article
so 5/14 == male child adverbally
s+on4/6
ko 4/8== no ifs **ds or buts
thanks!
I'm down to 14 words. I've been working on this all day! (on and off)
I'm still here to clue for a while. Should be sleeping... am not.
io6/18??
I still need the FIRST pi6/21
io 6/18 == big cat that roars (first 3 letters) and the sun r***s in the east
thanks!
1st pi6/21 = pi + opposite of 'win'.
pi 6/21==if you don't win you ****
pi + opposite of win
Thank you very much Stephie and Babble -- that did it!!
Incidentally, pi6/21 means hairy or furry.
...and Jacula....
Sounds nicer than hirsute, doesn't it? More like pillows, all warm and cushioned. Ahem! Sorry! Was thinking about my pi/24 man upstairs. LOL.
pi6/21 man, I meant.
in5/10?
in 5/10 == add charged particle
in5/10 sounds like the on veg that makes you cry when you cut it up.
thanks
Real meaning of in5.10 = a point at the external occipital protuberance of the skull.
them's big words, Jac!
You really wanted to know that, didn't you?
8 more!
Hi, all!
Hi T&C.
fi6/27, 7/40?? Please!
ahhhh this santa shows up better
fi6/27 & plural 7/40 - carvings on the end of posts.
it didn't change yet! Hi Tea
decorative ends.
thanks!
fi 6/27 == if you refuse to acknowledge an obvious truth, you are in de***
la5/14?
now that is better
la 5/14 === not clerics
or,, slums are sometimes found in the inner c***
la5/14 - lay persons in the religious or medical professions. la + the name for computer lessons at school + sometimes vowel.
BabbleRabble your icon is gross!!!
I have 90 left and ma never going to finish!
give it a try tea
computer lessons??
I will!
I assume everyone here already has the 8/65 word? If not, when you finish, the fi8/65 of it all can sometimes be depressing if you have nowt else to do. LOL.
harp - Information Technology.
thanks, jac - didn't have it.
la 5/14 == take p*** on me a sinner
got it!
I don't have the fi8...I just started and only have 84 words...been at work all day today
y/w, T&C.
GG - Hello. Read the clue.
fi5/16 + Sex and the C***
fi 8 == the last of the term exams are called fi***s ...add New York is a very large c***
hi GG.
no5/12??
so i'm new at this and i can't figure out the whole fi5 yi9 or whatever it is. could someone explain??
hey everybody...that was a real good clue jac!! I love it!
today was my first day of work in over three years!
nality
no5/12 - Jimmy nomates!
no 5/12 == nary a friend
No friends, maybe?
congrats tea!!! Did it feel good? Or did it kill you?
no5 & plural 6, those clues were for.
it was boring!
thanks, only 3 left, and I'm sure I'll have to get all of them clued!
I am loving your cleverness jac!
the last no4/5??
it was orientation today, so I expected that!
orientation is always boring...
got it!
T&C - give it a chance. Peope can't be openly bonkers in the workplace anymore, like they can on the net.
oog ++ sn 7 indicates that the word begins with sn and has 7 letters
so what does no4/5 mean??
I know - it was actually kind of nice to be away from the kids for the day!
Well, as Brie would say, 'There you go then, T&C!'.
TEA! TEA! TEA! *sharing cookies to go with tea*
hi everyone!
poke
how did work go today? was it fun? were you excited? thought about you all day!
If the reference is sn 7/36, the 36 is the point total for the word. You probably would benefit from reading the info at Angelsong's site...the link is in friends of babble at the bottom of this page
I would like crackers with my Tea, please ;)
oog - you need to change fro chatlog box to grid box to input your words.
hi stid
*grin* crackers you got!
na4/4 (the second one). This is my last word!
Hi again, stid.
hi hodag!
thanks, stid. It was boring - it was orientation, and some of the films they showed were the same as the ones I saw before I left three years ago!
tea...god love the kids, but let's be honest kyou will love them more if there is a little time away from each other...I can't wait to see my kids everyday that I work, but when I stay home too long we get on each other's nerves
aloha babblers!
NA + two vowels?
Hi Fran.
hi Fran! hi greenhy!
yes, it'll be nice to get a little break from them
na 4/4 == n + 3 vowels
Hi, Fran!
hi jac! hi stid1
hi TnC!
hi fran
hey fran hey stid!!
LOL I see you were talking about just what I asked before I logged in... *remember to read back in recent log before asking questions*
hi hodag! hi GG!
it's ok!
good pic of the kids, btw. We had a lovely sunny weekend, and I was sick for all of it...
Thanks for all the help! I'm finished!!!!
then realized this afternoon that it was a really bad allergy! removed the allergen and am now perfectly fine!
YAY stephie!
Congrats, StephieC!
that sucks! This was from the pumpkin patch back in October. i got tired of changing my icon,.
yay, steph!
congrats stephie!!!
good going Steph.........
Me too. I am going to switch away from Lucky in a few minutes and go back to my babble shirt...
yay stephie!
I just got their Christmas pics from online, so i need to download them and can use one of those for the rest of the month.
$&%*(#(%$*# Seahawks!
hubby is cursing - theair is blue in here!
LOL Tea! I thought 51 gave up a little too easy...
on the other hand, that receiver was fast!
hoo boy! I am so glad that Crackers in asleep on dad's lap, that is keeping it toned down a bit.
and now a penalty for holding? WHAT are they thinking? *boo, hiss*
And here am I, nice British lady, just arrived back with my mug of tea... and the air is blue due to someone's hubby letting rip. *Gets out can of sweaerase and sprays log.*
*looking around to see if anyone else is left in the room*
and now the game is tied... *sigh*
I had to step away for a moment and turn on a DVD for Tea - didn't want her exposed to dad
heavy sigh!
okay, I want to spend some kid time before they go to sleep. See you-all later. Good to hear it was boring today, Tea! better than overwhelming...
nite, stid!
Leaving room anyway if it's a sport thing. Goodnight all! Happy Babbling!
nite, jac
bye jac!
Just went to the list because I started so late...have 96 left, and realized that i haven't one al or an word...is that possible???
I hate it when I go to this list and am missing a whole block!
greeny, just wandering by -- kid in shower. there is an 5/10 like the smelly veggie you put in chili... and a plural, and the licorice-like spice an 4/4 (French spelling) or 5/10 (English)
you are a dream stid! thanks!
need one al6 and two al5....still working on it!!
al 6 is just a different vowel ending of the al 5 before it with the plural
scratch that and switch the numbers...2 al6 and 1 al5
or, just the plural of the 5 before it
I have al5/14...sounds like the name of a singer that died a few years back in a plane crash
hi gang -- back to clue if needed
althat's the first one I clued.
hi, jilli
hi TnC
the other al 6 is the plural of the 5 before it. that 5 is a + lo 4/4
got it tea!thanks!
cool!
yahoo! 101 down...87 left to go!
you can do it!
gogogo geeny!!!
I like changing icons to the daily theme and seeing what others choose
I just keep forgetting to change, plus I start work this week, so I won't have much time, so I am going to stick with the kids for awhile.
To each his/her own!!! Just said what I like doing
o, i thought maybe you were commenting on our earlier discussion of changing icons ;)
hi jilli!
goodbye a's!!!
So -- from the sublime (today's jewels) to the ridiculous ( tomorrow's horror films)!
hi fran
woot!
woot is not a word. enable said so.
anyone have ep7/32?
ep + personal pronoun + na 4/4
ep7 -- ep + me myslef and * = na4/4 (greek temple babblet)
wow, thanks jilli! good thing i asked instead of overwork my monkeys on that one
crud - i'm in the p's already and still have 32 left - ooogie!
ha5 anyone??
GG, like ha** christian andersen with a vowel added at the end

a mansion is also called a ma***, just change the first letter

li7 is just about the dumbest word Ihave ever heard of....just wanted to share that
thanks GG and frogtaco! i'm here to help if you want your own fireworks, this was a tricky one.
i needed morewords to find the last few even though i was already using lickety's list.
first na word??
li7 is not all that uncommon, geeny -- "to treat (a person) as a celebrity" -- maybe more used in the UK than the US
na + ** and or but
meaning innocent
male version
I never heard it before jilli...glad I got it...it sounds like an interesting word that I might add to my vocabulary though....
GG, i always associate it with news, "he was li7d in the press after his last victory," for example.
geeny -- you do know about the ? beside the words in your list which gives the definition?
No, but I do now...thanks!
I give up already! Can't find the ty7 - my last word - some help please!
ty + ** and behold + bad action
Thankx jilli - got my fireworks - can go to bed! Night all!
