bonne nuit aix

12:44 am

night une -- cute Rudolph!

12:44 am

in the past there has been sort of a tacit understanding that people who are at the flip are probably the sort of people who don't want too much information, that's all

12:44 am

thanks, jillibus :-)

ST 8/40 S + to cry + to have eaten

12:45 am

flip, flip, flip - knowledge is power & life is short

12:45 am

tacit understanding that us published where?

12:46 am

it wasn't published, there were fewer babblers in those days, so it didn't have to be

12:46 am

babblerabble - lol your bio - thanks, i needed that!

12:47 am

So, once again someone is censored for an unwritten understanding that only a few know about

well sorry the clues do not fit in with your time of day!! If you do not want to know them then dont look, simple :))

censured

12:48 am

also, ahem - sociopaths = problems, big problems, always (don't let them fool you, lol)

12:48 am

i don't think cnan was trying to censor or censure, just, perhaps, pass on a time-honored tradition

12:48 am

hello all ...just joining in for a few

12:49 am

couldn't help but overhear the rumbling

12:49 am

Glad I could amuse you helen ..... have a good laugh

12:49 am

it was my understanding that the no clues usually runs for the first hour or so - after that it's fair game (i got chewed out for this also wen i first started here) that hour is nearly up

12:50 am

melon - i missed you last night - i want to wish best of luck on your surgery, hope you feel better very, very soon - & like someone else said, be sure to get the good drugs!

12:51 am

that was me HK. always ask for the good drugs.

12:51 am

did you find the tr 9, hurshy?

12:51 am

yup

12:51 am

yes joey - always an excellent plan!

oh, my doc is generous - might as well convalesce in lala-land ;)

12:51 am

If there are going to be conventions, and time-honored whatever..... tell people .... personally I think the whole thing is bogus and condescending

12:52 am

it is obvious that some at the flip are more acquainted with the game than others. i love the clues when i need them...and i love to give clues when someone else needs them. i didn't know that only the professionals needing no clues were allowed to play for the first hour. i'll watch my log in time from now on

well said Babble

12:52 am

my mom is having surgery tomorrow. unfortunately she doesn't subscribe to the same ideas. she toughs it out

12:52 am

agreed babblerabble and in a way that doesnt belittle others or make them feel unwelcome

12:53 am

quite honestly...i NEVER would have found the tr9 on my own and i thank cyborg for sharing

i suppose one could announce "clue alert!" so eyes could be averted.

OS 7/32 A tumor of bone tissue

12:54 am

good idea melon!

12:55 am

i have no issue with clues either, no matter how early, but some here will get their noses out of joint over it - it's up to you wot u decide to do with that info

12:55 am

It is just that some players like to see how many words they can find without clues in the first hour. Traditionally only the 4 or 5 longest words are called (alpha numeric only). The rest of us do not find it a hardship to respect the wishes of those who like the greater challenge. The reason this game is so popular is for the friendly chat, the supportive group and the fact that everyone tries to fit it.

12:55 am

I don't think there any rules as have been intimated here, apart from a general consideration that some people play Babble differently from others, and that it behoves others to take that into account.

12:55 am

*in

12:56 am

Communities are generally about a consideration of others ...

12:56 am

i don't think it has been called - i got a co 7

12:56 am

gorgeous and enviable icon, angb!

you do not need to read the clues, just ignore them, they are soon scrolled off the screen, I believe in being helpful

12:57 am

You speak of a tradition that is kept a secret.... put all these unwritten whatever out there so everyone knows.

12:57 am

um, that's kind of what we were doing.

12:58 am

Thank you jilli - the pohutukawas are starting to flower - local legend says that it will be a nice summer if they flower prior to Xmas

12:58 am

sure you are by fingerpointing

12:58 am

This is SO silly -- if you reduce the program, you don't see the chat. The resident Einsteins could easily do that instead oif kvetching...

12:58 am

i really don't think anyone's tone was accusatory...

12:58 am

peace, please

12:59 am

oh hogwash

12:59 am

but the not cluing should probably be presented as a request if it comes too early, rather than some kind of violation

12:59 am

my sentiments exactly, babrab! LOL!

12:59 am

chill pills all round - i am off to work - bbl to find only 216

1:00 am

cnan smiled, a smile always indicates friendliness, and i said "that's all", so as to indicate it was no big deal, but informational...

1:00 am

fear

1:00 am

same

1:00 am

oops -- sorry

1:00 am

ta, erda!

Only 4 QU words!

1:01 am

I feel like I am a newcomer as I have just found about this 1st hour convention! I'd agree with BabbleR - perhaps the 'conventions' could be written into the Help above. There would be an issue with the first hour being 'reserved' for non-clues anyway as we are from so many dfferent countries

1:01 am

ty erda

1:01 am

See you all later guys ... will be back when it quietens down

1:01 am

I really don't understand why you can't shrink this part of your screen, virtually removing all chat, until you are ready to look at it....

1:01 am

i am offering this from my own standpoint...i obviously do not have the extended vocabulary of many who are here and do not feel threatened in anyway by clues or "called" clues.

1:01 am

because most people still like to chat girlfriday

i like erda's suggestion, shrinking the chat, or removing it, we all have different time constraints, if you want to speed-babble, then don't bother looking at the chat, if you can't do that, then go play tangleword, you get not time to chat there :)

110 so far.

1:02 am

amen, girlfriday!!!

1:02 am

actually...a called clue is just as much of a giveaway for us to find a new word as the definition sometimes...so the only issue seems to be that cyborg clued a couple words that were already "called" by someone else.

1:03 am

Morning all! I've been listening to what's being said. I like the clues. The only time I've got to play is from the flip - before the world starts moving - and I wouldn't be able to finish without the clues. Surely there's some way we could all accomodate each other?

1:03 am

i'm with dispatch, i only have a certain ammount of time to play babble and if clues are given, i will try and work them out!

soar

1:03 am

I want an e beside that d on the left

1:03 am

these unwritten 'rules' come from long standing players, i guess the question is should they have to adapt to 'newbies' or should new players adapt to the existing community?

whops, sry

1:03 am

i think the issue was more, perhaps, that the clues given hadn't even been requested by anyone?

tx mitch

1:04 am

I am done..... it is clear that something will always offend someone ... unwritten rules, traditions and conventions will always unwittingly trip up the uninitialted

some people are just looking to moan about something, anything, as long as they can moan ... will be back tomorrow at 2 minutes to flip for more juicy clues!

1:04 am

is that another unwritten requirement?

1:04 am

no offense to me and none by me i hope babblerabble

babblerabble - done with the grid, or fed up with the chat?

hurshy ... do you only speak when spoken too? I bet not!!

joey, i hadn't looked at the chat for a bit. i hope your mom gets through it all right. doctors used to guilt-trip pts for asking for pain meds. fortunately this has changed.

1:05 am

no, but when you combine that with it being the first hour, it just... but it really doesn't matter, so, whatever

personally i don't mind the tr9/60 stuff - but when it gets to giving the whole word away, it is somewhat bothersome - it takes away any challenge at finding words which i think is kind of the point of the game

exactly, just look to moan ... the clues are out there for all, read em or not, they are helpful and friendly all the same

1:06 am

fitting word ra4,4

1:06 am

hurshy gives "play on words" clues as well as direct when asked...which are fun too!

1:07 am

it wasn't moaning in the first place! i think at this point there's more moaning about perceived moaning than there was moaning to begin with...

1:08 am

hehe

lol

;) mkl

1:08 am

It's boring having this same stupid conversation night after night... It's a GAME, just play it!

Good morning Haz....and I have to empty the lounge and the hall and the landing for new carpets tomorrow !!!

3:38 am

Hi Haz.

3:39 am

Rather you than me, Karys! But I suppose new carpet is a powerful driving force.

3:39 am

Hello Karys. and Congratulaions for the upcoming ceremony - I hope it all goes beautifully for you

3:39 am

one of those thing you wish could just happen by magic !

3:40 am

The means of introducing air

4:20 am

evening all

4:21 am

haz have the air 6/18, have tried everything to get the 7

4:22 am

hi rhee

4:24 am

If you have the ae6, take off the last vowel, replace with an 'alternative' word

4:25 am

thx haz

4:25 am

Alternative word being two letters

4:25 am

You're welcome.

4:28 am

I didn't take off last letter , think I tried the whole alphabet, lol

4:28 am

It'll be one to remember for again!

4:31 am

maybe haz, I have a lot of senior moments these days

4:32 am

It comes to us all. The frustrating thing is remembering someone's name two days too late.

4:33 am

I wander into a room to get something and forget what it was I came for, lol

4:34 am

Ditto. Major exercise, apart from walking the dog, is going up and down stairs trying to remember why you need to go up or down.

4:38 am

never mind, lots of us in the same boat

4:38 am

humph! co7.40 silly word

4:39 am

haven;t got that yet lynxxx, will look

4:40 am

Hi all. Hows the big grid?

4:40 am

Andree - hint - is not quite what you use on your face

4:40 am

I suppose you have to have some way to describe co5

4:40 am

Good morning spanner. The grid is big... I'll have to tackle it in stages.

4:41 am

hi spanner, not easy

4:41 am

Hello Spanner

4:41 am

and way too big for me

4:41 am

I have to tackle EVERy grid in stages...and I never get to the last stage LOL

4:42 am

last ar 6/18 please

4:42 am

My back is a problem at the minute and can't sit for too long at one time, so enforced stages....

4:43 am

Sorry to hear that Haz, hope youll be feeling better soon

4:43 am

ar6/18 - more creative.

4:44 am

I had physio yesterday and am feeling the effects today!

4:44 am

thx haz

4:45 am

Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better...

4:45 am

the physio only makes you feel better after a couple of days

4:45 am

That's what I'm telling myself.

4:46 am

Grit your teeth, if the physio is working properly youll be feeling better by tomorrow...

4:46 am

I have to go back tomorrow for more!

4:46 am

you have to drink heaps of water, like having a massage brings out all the toxins in your body

4:47 am

What on earth have you done or is this an ongoing problem?

4:48 am

spanner - I woke up a week ago with an extremely sore lower back, no apparent cause. When it didn't get any better I sought help! It's what used to be known as a slipped disc, but hopefully with exercises and various things it should get better slowly.

4:50 am

Ouch, bad luck Haz. Give it time and mother it a bit...(my daughter slipped a disc turning over in bed...well at least thats what she told me...)

4:50 am

95 left,hope I can get back to it tomorrow, happy babbling

4:50 am

Bye andree

4:51 am

hope you feel better soon haz although it sounds as though it might take a while

4:51 am

Bye Andree - thanks, spanner, I'm doing my best to be sensible but it is frustrating!

4:51 am

Bye Andree.

4:51 am

I know but the body needs time to heal, and sometimes you need to give it that time

4:52 am

Haz - remember the ice-packs - and I love Voltarin!

4:52 am

ANd dont you just hate being 'sensible'

4:53 am

LOL lynxxx

4:53 am

Thanks lynxxx - I've been given a TENS machine to buzz away at my back. Now I'm literally wired up.

4:54 am

I use onre of those regularly. They take a while for you to feel the benefits but when they do, they are bloody marvellous

4:56 am

It's an interesting sensation, I'll say that for it! Anyway, have to go and move around a bit. I'll probably be back later (pardon the pun).

4:56 am

mental note - I must find out about hese

4:56 am

bye for now Haz

4:57 am

Later Haz. Lynxx, they are great, but they dont suit everyone apparantly

4:59 am

I dont know how it works in Oz (though I should my sister lives in sydney), but there are places over here you can loan them to make sure they suit you before you buy

5:01 am

I shall investigate - I'm seeing my chiro next week anyway. I go every 3 months as a preventative measure which seems to work for me. I actually have another problem which it may be good for - I'll find out. TY

5:01 am

YW

5:08 am

Well just breached 100, so im off. Late all, happy babbling

5:08 am

missing the others.

5:42 am

qu6.27 the qu5.16 ending in a vowel but add another vowel in the 4th place

5:42 am

I found another qu5,16, ending in 2nd vowel. And I got the qu6. TY. Still looking for another qu5

thanks lynxxx, got them

did you get them scrabbler?

5:45 am

katy...do all four of teh q's start out that same?

5:50 am

Arrrgh, got it finally, with help from my Scrabble dictionary.

5:51 am

Did you finish your religion paper, Bloodaxe?

good job. tough word.

5:52 am

i did scrabbler...you remembered! but i changed topics..i did "The Nature of Evil" instead.

5:52 am

Wow, cool topic. Have you ever read Peck's, People of the Lie?

5:53 am

I haven't...is it good?

5:54 am

There is evil in ordinary life in people that we encounter daily---our office has a few. Yes, good book--M.Scott Peck, who also wrote The Road Less Traveled--a classic

5:54 am

hahaha..i think we've worked with some of the same people. I'll check it out..i have a list of books i want to read when i'm done with school...

5:55 am

Our office manager seethes evilness, and is basically a schoolyard bully. I stay clear of her.

5:56 am

ouch! I signed in just now and see the size of this grid - and I am going to be busy all day. Le sigh - I will never finish

5:56 am

hahahaha

5:56 am

Hi Wolvie

5:56 am

Wolvie, I am shooting for 50%, and getting the big words.

5:57 am

scrabbler, i just got an email from one of my instructors saying that he usually usually tries to get the exchange students to drop his classes, but this semester we were better than others.

5:57 am

it just figures. normally I would be able to have some time, but not today - ah well

5:57 am

Yikes, what a big puzzle, any clues for the 9 or the 8's around

5:57 am

i don't know if i should take it as a compliment, or continue disliking him for his "evilness"...he's pretty mean.

5:58 am

hey peri.

5:58 am

sounds a bit positive blood. :-)

5:58 am

I am not in the grid today :(

5:58 am

were you in it yesterday peri? I never got to sign in

5:59 am

Just smother him with kindness because he will give you a final grade of course. Otherwise I ignore evil people and take their power away.

5:59 am

aawww...it's ok peri...the grid still loves you...and so do we.

5:59 am

Yes I was, Wolvie

5:59 am

Hi Peri - tr8&9 I believe it is a three hulled boat - a 2 hulled boat is a cata*****

7:26 am

Where's Periwinkle today? She always prods us into getting the long ones finished first and she's developed that new habit in me. then I breeze thru the short ones much more quickly.

7:57 am

thanks, 6a

7:57 am

yw

7:58 am

my last name is in the puzzle again today

7:59 am

st----strick

7:59 am

*strict

8:01 am

or the back of a ship

8:02 am

because I am definitely not strict

8:05 am

ty, that's what I thought, but I could not make it.

8:05 am

Oops, I had that one. It is the co 7,36 I need. The one that comes after the long jacket you wear in winter.

8:07 am

merk, I think that was clued, is it the thing you put on the table to protect it so a frosty glass does not harm it

8:07 am

Got it, folks! co 7,36 co + to put up a building

8:08 am

I could use clues on long words that come later, ea 7 perhaps.

8:08 am

thanks, merk!

8:08 am

nice job, Merk, didn't know that was a word!

8:08 am

have to leave, see you all later

8:08 am

thanks Merk, nice clue

8:09 am

And isn't that true of many of our words? co 7.40 comes to mind and the am 6,21.

8:10 am

lol, don't have those yet, Merk

8:10 am

anyone have a clue for the am6?

8:11 am

am + woman's name

8:11 am

ty merk

8:11 am

The actress from long ago Hayworth. Her first name after the am.

8:12 am

The co 7,40 builds on the word before it ... the thing flying across the night sky, make it an adj. I think.

8:13 am

tx Merk!

8:13 am

ea7: NOT from the west

8:16 am

had it, Aloy. It builds so nicely on the two words before it.

8:17 am

sneeze,sneeze,sniff,cough,....good morning everyone.

8:17 am

okie dokie

8:17 am

hodag got a code?

8:17 am

Some of the sea birds are back.

8:18 am

Golly, hodag. I hope you get over that cold soon.

8:18 am

some of the words just flow.

8:19 am

Its back and in my head so if I mess-up you'll have to fogive me!..........Thanks Merk sniff sniff.....

8:19 am

Lots of words ending in 'ic' today.

8:22 am

hodag, is it a viral thingy? Hope you can shake it soon :)

8:24 am

hodag, feel your pain, it feels like someone is stomping on my face here.

8:25 am

fe 5,16 clue please, the final fe 5,16. I have the first two.

8:25 am

Thank you sunny,I think it likes me it just keeps hanging on..I,m taking a perscription now maybe that will work,cough,sneeze,ohhhhhhhhhhhhh poo!

8:26 am

merk, you have the plant?

Merk, a leaft plant, plural the fe 4/7

8:27 am

evanonut I know what you mean,it sucks............

8:27 am

Oops, I did something majorly wrong here. I already have that plural, but in the wrong place, I guess. Hang on.

8:27 am

I am missing the fe 5,18.

8:29 am

I can't make a plural of the fe 4 ahead of it.

Use the same first three letters, then add what sounds like another word for I.

8:30 am

Got it. fe + short cane + do, re, **

8:31 am

first ce5/12?

8:31 am

aaahhh, enrico!

8:31 am

ce It means to stop

8:31 am

yes, the great Italian scientist

8:32 am

ty

8:32 am

ty all

8:32 am

I'm going back to my old way of one word at a time and attacking the long words when I get there. I still like Peri's way, but she doesn't seem to be here today.

8:33 am

Any clue for the im 6,21?

8:34 am

Nevermind. Got it. im 6 im+ending of those things on top of a mosque

8:34 am

8:36 am

8:36 am

co7/36?

8:36 am

i was here at the flip (with disastrous results)

8:37 am

why, hurshy... what happened?

8:37 am

oh, things were said, people were annoyed

8:38 am

ooh, where is the joy in BabbleLand?

8:39 am

co + to put up a building

8:39 am

sorry that happened

8:39 am

it was my fault :)

8:39 am

did you tick someone off?

8:39 am

ty merk, that was my last C!

8:40 am

i spose i did

8:40 am

FWIT I totally support what you were saying

8:41 am

I'm clueless, but I'll check it out after I conquer this grid

8:41 am

i mostly feel bad about cnan - nobody would have really paid attention to her original comment if i hadn't said more about it, and i don't know if she wanted to be involved in a whole shebang, you know? but thanks une

8:42 am

usual to clue or not to clue debate. Can someone please tell what the 9 begins with?

8:42 am

tr9

8:42 am

ma 6,21 please

8:42 am

merci

8:43 am

yes ma6/21, i'll do whatever you say

8:43 am

huh?

8:44 am

Maybe you need the name of a Lock, merk... or .. the mate of a mistress???

8:44 am

ma6: like visa, there's ma****card (it's priceless)

8:44 am

ma6 one who's at the top of his/her game . . . name of various sports tournaments . . . tennis, golf, etc.

8:44 am

i actually don't care if people give a clue in the first hour, but i just thought it was unnecessary giving a whole bunch of them that people weren't even saying they had trouble with so early in the game... ma6/21 and servant

8:45 am

heck i'd already ASKED for the tr9 clue!

8:45 am

ty hurshy, I have something out of order in my list again.

8:46 am

hang a sign on the door then merk

hursh does it use the prefix across

croma

ma

8:46 am

nope, the prefix 3

ty and sorry

8:47 am

hiya owl

8:47 am

prefix 3 and its a three hulled ship. Think catamaran

8:47 am

yw and you didn't do anything :)

8:48 am

the nose holes are back

8:48 am

i wish i could have slept more than 6 hours, but my body just wakes itself up at the usual time. i am groggy

8:48 am

nostrils?

8:48 am

yup

hmmm, there's almost a bone doctor in there, need a P!

8:48 am

bottom n

8:49 am

8:49 am

8:49 am

there is a bone word for 7 gwen

hurshy, yup!

8:51 am

help with the q's (not the measurement) - thanks.

8:51 am

there's also transameric... no ending for it... dunno if it would count anyway

8:52 am

(it wouldn't)

8:52 am

but orach would, i accidentally discovered, so keep that in mind...

8:52 am

old english spelling of "weird" for qu6

aloy, TY!! got all the Qs now

8:53 am

nose holes and volcanos and flatulence, oh my!

8:53 am

8:53 am

yes, and the to babblet too

8:54 am

8:54 am

8:55 am

i know, and i have only 5

8:55 am

8:56 am

man i'm groggy

8:56 am

hmmm etymology of groggy = in a state as if one has had too much grog?

8:56 am

aloy, apparently it's a coin of New Guinea

8:57 am

oh, of course... I shoulda known that, lol.. ty for the past tense, I needed that!

8:57 am

mornin babblers!

ah, Ty, got all the Ds now

8:58 am

mornin!

8:58 am

8:58 am

9:00 am

9:00 am

9:01 am

9:01 am

retiring

9:01 am

woaaaa is me! Does't self pitty make you sick

9:01 am

I have to work hard at it every day

9:02 am

sleep well, sunny

9:02 am

nite, sunny

9:02 am

9:02 am

9:04 am

9:05 am

I guess but I,am keeping the tissue co. in bussiness.

9:06 am

Hello all - hurshy seems quiet now - please clue im's anyone

9:06 am

oh oh the im6 is my favorite to clue

9:06 am

keep it simple hurshy - simple mind here

9:07 am

if you were a rodent, and someone mistakenly thought you were a mouse instead of what you really were, you might say, "no, *'* * ***!", now change the a to e.

9:07 am

it's the silliest clue i ever made up and i use it whenever possible.

9:08 am

9:08 am

it's a lovely clue, hurshy, even my asleep fingers like it! thanks

9:08 am

hi all

9:08 am

9:08 am

hi stid

9:08 am

9:08 am

9:09 am

9:09 am

9:09 am

:-)

9:09 am

oops

9:09 am

hello to you also , hodag!

9:09 am

yay mini me!! (sorry if you were irked by last night's chat)

9:10 am

not at all hurshy - to each his own and i just do my own thing

9:10 am

i think it's cause i'm in love with dr. house... i have these urges to be like him... i rein it in as much as i can but...

9:11 am

ooohhh, dr. house . . . sigh . . .

9:11 am

ditto une

9:12 am

my husband doesn't get it at all - he's like, "he's such a jerk, how can you like him", to which i reply, "i looooooooooooove him

9:12 am

giggling at hurshy's im clue.

9:12 am

*melting over keyboard* house...

9:12 am

this is good, i can tell him you all agree

9:13 am

Cold showers, ladies...

9:13 am

yes, we definitely agree

9:13 am

hursh, I have friends who would gladly get in line as well!

9:13 am

*sigh* Gadget.... *grin*

9:13 am

the tough thing is, i mean, you've got chase right there too!!! tough call.

9:13 am

I don't. I can't help thinking of him as an English comedy actor.

9:14 am

i first saw him as mr. parker in sense and sensibility, haz - so i thought it was odd at first but then i got used to him as house

9:14 am

oh haz, i just realized i had a dr5 about you last night!

9:14 am

well, lots of us stateside found out about his comedy background "after the fact" :-)

9:14 am

hey hey Gadget

9:14 am

yep. they were a great team weren't they Haz?

9:14 am

no -- chase is far too young for me! House...

9:14 am

He'll always be Stuart Little's dad to me. No one thought he was crush-worthy back then. Must be some women just like jerks!

9:14 am

he really was great in Black Adder though....no one plays a stoopid prince like Hugh Laurie...

9:15 am

He's been in lots of things - all comedy up until now.

9:15 am

well chase isn't too young for me :) :) :)

9:15 am

i liked him in stuart little

9:15 am

That's true also -- though I thought Stephen Fry was funnier in his Black Adder role.

9:15 am

thats funny grace, SOME women??? a lot from what I see

9:15 am

actually now that i think of it, mr. parker had some house-like qualities

9:16 am

Sorry, if I wanted a doctor, my vote would go to Carter in ER. Rich, caring, handsome.

9:16 am

yippee for me, got the E from the top!

9:16 am

aw, yeah, carter.... but what about clooney? mmmm

9:16 am

Clue stid?

9:16 am

sniff,sniff,achooooo,sh**! this sucks think I will return to bed....................bye

9:16 am

sleep well hodag

9:17 am

oh hodag -- feel better... bye!

9:17 am

get better hodag

9:17 am

i think i do like jerks. i like simon cowell too. i mean i don't have a crush on him, but i admire him.

9:18 am

it is ironic because my husband is as opposite of jerk as you can get.

9:18 am

Thank you all................LOL

9:18 am

*icky* simon cowell *blech*

9:18 am

i like simon, he tells it like it is, and face it some of those people need to be told the truth

9:19 am

yeah, that's exactly what i was going to say pab! so much better than sappy paula and wishy-washy randy

9:20 am

the only thing i find weird is that sometimes i think someone in the final rounds sang a particular song quite badly and then he says they did great - that is unnerving.

9:20 am

Morning stid - got your message from woulf. Haven't been on chat since we movrd. I think we have too, too much stuffage!

9:20 am

didn't say i liked the others. just *icky* simon. I watched only about 15 minutes of one episode of that show actually... the whole thing was yucky.

9:20 am

{{{{hootowl}}}} !!! gotta rescue a dog brb

9:20 am

hodag has too much stuffage too

9:21 am

na5 stuffage!

9:21 am

in the noooooooooooooose

9:21 am

LOVE House. And I own the Black Adder cds. He is the doctor I've always wanted. Knows what he's talking about and tells you. Chase is NOT trustwirthy!

9:21 am

yes yes yes

9:22 am

back -- so, do you like your new place? are you comfortable? I have missed you so much!

9:22 am

but chase is hot hot hot

9:22 am

Hot goes so far. I don't trust him!

9:22 am

I have about ten minutes before I need to take the kids to school...

Errrg, this one is a pain!

9:22 am

Which one's Chase? The dark one (Dead Poets) or the Australian?

9:22 am

i like foreman too

9:23 am

medicinally, or relationally, hoot?

Chase, is he the one that House wrote a scrip from his pad and had him suspended?

9:23 am

yes bunny... I was hoping to get to halfway before I left, but I am not going to make it.

9:23 am

australian

9:23 am

yeah, I like foreman,,he's HOTT

9:23 am

let's face it, they don't pick bad looking people to be on tv very often.

9:23 am

it is really windy here, rae -- what about up north?

That's why I like to watch TV ;)

9:24 am

I spent all night listening to the trees and branches ... trees stayed up, a lot of branches didn't!

9:24 am

oh..it's bad...we lost power for about 8 hours last night and there's another bugger of a storm coming tomorrow

9:24 am

He's good looking in a young kind of way.

9:24 am

Are moved in but still a mess. Combining stuf from his apt, mine from NY AND Knox plus stuff we got from his mothers when we cleaned out her house last year! 2 bedroom, living room, dining room and family room packed to the gills! Still haven't found some stuff. Also movers from hell!

9:24 am

he's right around my age, and ahhh that accent

9:24 am

{{hoot}} probably won't help to tell you we've been here 7 years and I am still occasionally finding things!

9:25 am

we don't have grass anymore...lol...we have pine boughs

Hoot, I feel for ya, we have been moved in for three months or so, but we still aren't "moved in".

...but I'm not as bad as Stid, lol

9:26 am

our current home was still under construction when we moved in, that was unpleasant

9:26 am

my drive in at 0530 was really fun too...

9:27 am

we may even get a thunder storm this aft, Stid! a light show!

9:27 am

I bet! at 5:30 I gave up on sleep and decided to get the furnace going (it's normally on a timer) in case the power went

9:27 am

so far still online, but not overly optimistic!

9:28 am

I have a craft room for the first time in years and I keep moving stuff around to fit it all in. Found some stuff and now it's missing again! Chase is the aussie and previous episodes set him up as not trustworthy. I don't understand this current line. Seems like cop harrassment should be chargable.

9:28 am

yeah, I'm expecting the electricity to go anytime...the winds must be at least 50km outside

It's a sunny 75 here with a nice breeze :) Will be that way all week, yay!

9:29 am

how nice, hoot! I love having an "office" (most of my work is art), though at the moment it is still not put together from the skylight episode! *fuss fuss*

9:29 am

yeah i didn't think they were allowed to freeze people's assets to pressure them to give info about someone

9:29 am

*throwing peculiar glances at bunny*

9:29 am

I am very glad we didn't get the weather we were told we were getting. Sorry it seems to have gone to some of you!

9:29 am

yes, it's a good thing House and his cohorts aren't bound by that pesky reality thing

9:30 am

Cops like him give cops a bad rep

9:31 am

what bugged me is the cop was accusing house of being a bully, when he is a bigger bully than house

9:31 am

it IS a good thing... i want entertainment, not reality. reality is borrrring

9:31 am

and over rated

9:31 am

i dunno, i'd say they're about equal-size bullies

...but House is funny when he's a bully.

9:31 am

Well the show is not reality. How many patients do you think docs get that keep changing symptoms?

9:32 am

*sigh* almost halfway, and must be off. hootowl, if you are of a mind, email me and I will send you the link to some pics of my "office" -- currently a storage space for large bundles of fiberglas...

9:32 am

see you-all later!

9:32 am

good luck in the storm sti

Bye Stid

9:32 am

Will do stid. I my even try to send you some pics of MY mess. May make us both feel better>:D

9:34 am

i have found 5 words in the last hour, lol

I thought you were finished?

9:34 am

nope, did 90% at the flip, then went to bed

good morning people!

Are you listless? I'm done if you need a little help.

Morning Pappa

9:35 am

i am listless. too early in the day for me to get that impatient :)

9:36 am

i got the impression there was another IM besides the 6 i clued, is this true?

9:36 am

Only the plural

9:37 am

aw man, went to the wrong T in my head.

9:38 am

i have trouble with the upper O, i need 3 of them

9:38 am

i gots hebrew measurement

9:39 am

and leave out

om 5/12

9:39 am

and 3 oa4's.

merk - spanish for holy

10:06 am

fool, fool, back to the beginning is the rule

merk, like Mr. CLuse with different vowel at end.

10:06 am

who's Caroline Ingalls?

Hursh, maybe some coffee or a nap would help....

10:06 am

little house on the prairie...

Try the bone prefix + opp of dad

OS 7/32 Bone prefix + opposite of PM

10:07 am

i don't drink coffee, and i don't think i can fall asleep so soon after waking up. i'm ok though. so i'm slow, what else to i have to do?

10:07 am

*do

10:08 am

There are 2 sa 6's, 3 se 6's, 1 sn 6, 1 st 6

I just caught that...

10:16 am

well then i do not need any s 6's

10:16 am

:) :) :)

10:16 am

so my 2 6's must come from A, M, R or T

10:17 am

and i have looked to try to build 6's off my five but either i don't have the fives or i've already built 6's on them

5 ta 6, 4 te 6, 1 ti 6, 4 tr 6

10:17 am

aha, a TA

10:18 am

AND a TE

10:18 am

ta from bottom, te from right

10:18 am

hm...how about the ra5/14?

ta 6/21 - baked in the sun + ***reational vehicle (RV)

10:19 am

ra5/14 - sounds like what you do to an itch

ra 5/14 - spell like when you scra*** an itch

10:19 am

i'd like a nice ra5et set for christmas

10:19 am

thanks all.

10:19 am

Then that just leaves you littlies, yay Hursh!

10:31 am

thanks again bunny

yw

10:31 am

yayyayayay

I'm outta crackers for a meat loaf, can't I use oats?

10:32 am

bread crumbs or oats would work

10:32 am

oh yes, oats would be good

10:32 am

i'm a bread crumb fan myself

I have bread crumbs, but they have italian seasoning in them. I'll try the oats.

yes i use oats all the time - hi all!

or you can use bread

10:33 am

what's wrong with italian seasoned meat loaf (not that it matters)

10:33 am

bread bread bread!

nut nut nut!

10:34 am

owl owl owl!!!

i use salsa in mine and top it with salsa too

10:34 am

...i would do anything for love, but i won't do that...

I guess I could use the crums, I usually empty any jars that have very little left into a meatloaf, it's kinda my "clean out the fridge" meal.

10:35 am

yah hursh, cause you should use bbq sauce

and i don't eat salsa any other way - go figure - but it has peppers and onions and tomato which i do use in meat loaf

10:35 am

and objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

this grid is a killer

10:35 am

so now i'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive

I looove spicy food, I eat salsa and chips for a snack all the time. I have to be careful what I put in the loaf though, it's for my Nannie.

10:36 am

The final ti 4,4 please

nm got them ty

10:45 am

ah, you pulled a peri

no, i breainstormed with myself

10:46 am

well, yes, but, still, if you ask for clues and find the word before you get the clue, you have pulled a peri, no matter how it happened :)

10:47 am

hello hello

Hi Cliff

10:47 am

hewo

10:47 am

somebody needs to tell enable what it is when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie

10:47 am

echo....

10:54 am

can i get a clue for the n-word?

10:54 am

you can't use the n-word, it's tabooooo

10:54 am

i mean, um, it's a babblet that means nostrils, a pl with no singular

na 5/10 - rhymes with another word for rabbit

10:55 am

haha...not that one hurshy..unless that's your clue, in wich case it was way over my head.

10:55 am

lol bunny, you should try to make ALL your clues involve a rabbit somehow

10:56 am

got it...thanks.

My brain doesn't function on that high of a level, or even the levels underneath that for a ways.

10:58 am

i needs 3 s's, at least 2 of which are 5's, and my monkeys... i dunno... sleeping?

10:58 am

ty blood

11:04 am

11:04 am

I have those. I start with the ma, repeated vowel, and short cane. Then I have ma + vowel + pl. Next is either what I am missing or the horse.

11:05 am

There are three ma 4,5 and 5,12 all in a row. I am missing one of the combos, not the horse or the planet.

for the o's i have paddles, oven, swear, and an om4/5 - waht am i missing please?

11:06 am

99 words to find in the grid/ 99 words to find,/ half an hour to do it in, 99 words to find. lalalalal

11:06 am

a small store?

11:06 am

I have that one also.

Next is the horse, then the two I clued, then ma 4/5 (shopping center), then ma 5/12

11:06 am

Sorry, I meant ma 5/12 that sounds like a gun (off Star Trek) or beam, la***

11:12 am

some cats like to chase the beam of a la... pointer

11:12 am

yeah yeah yeah

11:12 am

what bunny said

11:12 am

Ah, thank you.

11:12 am

next ironic moment: I can stop looking for the first ce5 (this grid is full of such moments for me today)

Duh, take the cross outta ma 6/21 for the ma 5/12. I get to complicated...

whoo hoo! over the halfway mark. lol

this grid is a pain

Yay pappa

11:13 am

Fireworks! Finally! Thank you one and all.

11:15 am

Some words just flowed, but it was a tedious grid at times.

11:15 am

bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling ting-a-ling-a-ling

i mean maestro i think maybe i should go shopping instead

is there an o word for bone in here?

11:16 am

11:19 am

*sympathizes with rolin*

11:19 am

11:20 am

soffit

11:20 am

ty dr. bernabo sir

TO, I put the 2nd letter list in my profile so you can get to it, hope it helps.

11:21 am

aww you should be bunnysweet instead of bunnyvicious

11:21 am

"In the land of the pigs the butcher is king" (nothing like a new Meatloaf song)

11:21 am

nice nice bunny

11:22 am

don't get the bad bone clue, help please

11:22 am

since when is the king the executioner? kings don't do the dirty work. meatloaf songs never make any sense.

oi! The R, S, and T list is a bit dizzying.

11:22 am

you know the prefix pab? like women can get o****perosis as they age?

11:22 am

yes, but they are high energy and help with babbling, house cleaning, and grading (not necessarily in that order)

11:22 am

and then it ends with caroline ingalls

11:23 am

zing zing zing

11:23 am

thanks hurshy

11:23 am

oh my gosh i am so prejudiced, i cannot believe i just thought to myself, "house cleaning? but you're a male!"

wow! was that a little house on the praire reference I just saw? Haven't thought of that in decades!

11:24 am

trying to sell the house, people are coming over, and the office is decidedly my mess to clean

Here, I have to have clues like this one, os 7 - os + anagram of digits on feet + opp of dad... I have a tiny brain.

11:25 am

starring michael landon, karen grassle, melissa gilbert, melissa sue anderson, allison arngrim, etc etc

lol bunny.

11:25 am

but the books are better

11:25 am

oh doc, don't go an reinforce my prejudices now by minimizing it

yeah, my mom used to read me those books when I was really little

11:26 am

Just yesterday my wife said if she died she would make sure the kids made me sell the house because I would never keep it clean, so I'm pretty sure I'm reinforcing at least one sterotype here

11:26 am

my mom read them to me when i was 6 and as soon as we finished i said "again!" and she said no, if you want to read them again you have to read them yourself and that is how she manipulated me into reading my first chapter books.

11:27 am

for which, naturally, i am now grateful.

11:27 am

Never read them. My mom made me read "Mary Poppins" so I would know why the movie was wrong.

apparently, she didn't have any trouble getting me to read... she would read to me, and then (I am told) I would try reading on my own, alone...

I've never read Mary Poppins, didn't even know there was a book, but I can tell you that the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies are wrong, wrong, wrong!

but the downside of that is that I've not learned to pronounce all words correctly. Since I wasn't really instructed, I have been a phonetic pronouncer, and even still I struggle with that sometimes

11:28 am

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo DOO doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo dooooooooooooo doo doo!

11:29 am

Series of Mary Poppins books. The new broadway show is the songs from the movie but more like the original stories (which is why it is nicknamed "Scary Poppins").

IE until last year I've always pronounced "gamut" like "GamOOt"

Pappa, it's OK, I'm from Texas, nobody speaks correctly here, you can re-locate :)

11:29 am

yeah i thought the name penelope was pen-a-lope

HA! good one bunny... My family is Backwoods tennessee, so I fit in there, too. ;)

lol Hursh, you should have heard the first time I trie to pronounce Caliope. lol

11:31 am

well if they are going to make things so counterintuitive, it really isn't our fault, is it

There ya go! I don't think I've pronounced a "g" on the end of an "ing" word...ever!

that's what I say! you know... spanish is so much easier... everything is pronounced just like it's written. lol same in italian, too... well... almost

Bunny: do you know the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

Uh, I thought they were the same...

one's got strings, the other's got Straangs

11:32 am

(is bunny supposed to say, "what's a violin?")

lol, I like that!

;)

11:33 am

i need a q pls..i have the 5/16 x 2, 6/27

11:33 am

oh! i forgot i was supposed to be finding words!

i can play the banjo and harmonica very poorly. Don't laugh.

1 more qu 5 rolin

11:34 am

another 6/27

11:34 am

at ye olde beginning of ye qu list

There are two qu 6/27

qu 6/27 - add a vowel into the first qu 5/16, 4th place

11:35 am

first tr6/21?

11:35 am

bunny, could you just do me a huge favor and tell me how many S5's there are?

11:35 am

ack, nvm, just got it

whoops... sorry rolin, I read that wrong... i thought the "x2" was attached to the 6 letter words

I counted 10.

11:36 am

aha, that would mean i need 2 r5 and one s4

4 ra 5, 7 re 5, 2 ri 5, 4 ro 5

all right, I've got to run off to work... i'll see you all later!

The only s 4's I see that are a little off the wall are sa 4/4 before the sa 6/18 (leave off the last two letters for the 4)

11:39 am

oh hmm then maybe did you count the s's wrong? that seems like i just need one re5.

Bye pappa

I might have counted the r's wrong, let me double check.

There are 10 s 5's.

11:40 am

yes, and i found my s4

11:40 am

got it..thx

11:40 am

2 r5's... sigh.

I did, there are 5 ra instead of 4

11:41 am

ok ra and re

11:41 am

got ra

add a vowel onto ra 4/5

11:41 am

no it was the ra + hail fellow well ***

11:43 am

golly GEE

11:43 am

point total?

re + opp of leg re + plural of spiky plant, ca*** (then change vowel for another re 5)

11:43 am

ah, there, the spiky plant thingy

11:43 am

yay 1000 points to bunny

11:44 am

and deepest apologies to all who watched that root-canal-esque battle to the finish

You're done?

11:44 am

i know it was not a pretty sight

11:44 am

I am avoiding making cards for the boys' teachers... LOL it's tough to find something fresh and new year after year.

2:07 pm

not too good here either, rain, wind and more rain, but dry and cold today.

2:07 pm

dry is not bad...

2:09 pm

dry IS bad - our whole state seems to be on fire

2:09 pm

day off today, so went to my grandson concert, it was great.

2:09 pm

both are bad when done in extreme

2:10 pm

{{{lynxxx}}} I have been reading about the fires... our problem is opposite. there is so much rain that the rivers the salmon spawn in are choked with debris. Trees are falling over in light breezes (not to mention our big gusts today) because the soil is so saturated... if only we could ship you some of our weather!

2:10 pm

how nice oggy! what does he play?

2:11 pm

my boys have their school concert tomorrow night -- will be their first real performance together as brass players (one trumpet one trombone)

2:11 pm

he only sang songs, he is only 3

2:12 pm

Good grief Stid - that does sound a bit too much (the rain I mean not the brass)

2:12 pm

*big grin* oh! preschool concerts are THE BEST! I love to hear little ones sing. they have so much fun

2:13 pm

they all sang and no tears from anyone, which was good.

2:16 pm

any clues for the im"s?

2:17 pm

im 6: (hurshy's clue), someone says hey there's a mouse, and since you're bigger than a mouse, you say, IM * *** (change the vowel in the last word to another); then plural for the 7

2:18 pm

stid, you lost me

2:18 pm

im6 is a hostel for pilgrims.

2:19 pm

11:11 pm

hi mr. p!

glad to hear everyone! Anyone see the new stats from Monday?

11:11 pm

and lickety too!

11:12 pm

not I

nor i

the middle column - right at the bottom - shows how many unique words still to appear in grids

11:14 pm

i don't understand, lickety

ahhh... very nice lickety! I'm a total stat freak. lol even though I abhor math.

it's shows that there are 3903 possible 4 letter words, and over the last 250 grids, 3216 off them have been there - so only 700 ish to go before all 4 letter have words appeared in the grids

The other stats I like is the race on most popular first letter - S and T battle over the lead

wow... and just over half of the 5 letter words.

and lowly R bringing up a shameful 3rd place. lol

11:18 pm

ohhhh, your stats... I thought you meant the "rankings"...

Hi Flosey was he on,I was laying down most of the day

pappa - T is going to overtake S on the flip.

after today? ph yeah! there were TONS of t words today

lickety, are you a simpsons fan?

sorta pappa - but don't let the kids watch - so that means I don't watch much.

ahhh... well, that quip I made about the R made me think of a scene from an episode where they were having the olympics, and either a japanese won a bronze, or it was a japanese anoucer with the line " a shamful, shamful bronze" :)

scary! simpsons has been in my life nearly as long as my father was. lol

Hi everyone!

hi dee

cybernan glad to hear I wasn't the only one having probs loading!

woot - 18 minutes to spare!

nan, I too had lots of issues getting on today

11:43 pm

Hi Dee

thanks, smooth. I don't why, but your remark made me sad - about the Simpsons and your dad.

11:43 pm

Me also

hi ho ho ho

lol don't be sad. :) I was just thinking about how young i was when simpsons started...

and then I was thinking about how a single has changed so many little things in modern culture

a single show

11:45 pm

HOHOHOOOOOOOOOOO

in a single word: d'oh!

ok, smooth - it just seemed sad when it came out.

well... it was sad when he died, but it was a long time ago

11:47 pm

11:48 pm

its not the plastic wrap one

wyrd: one is spanish for "holy" another is a brand of plastic wrap

dee: coffee at midnight?

LOL pappa fair question; I sleep poorly at night and love coffee, so I sip away!

11:51 pm

got it! thanks pappa!

lol dee, I sleep poorly at night, too... but a melatonin pill usually takes care of that right away. :)

can't sleep whether I drink it or not

I sleep poorly at night, too, but I blame the babies! (That really aren't babies anymore)

I'm srry to hear that! Insomnia is not a fun affliction!

They are sure beautiful!

thanks, Dee

I have so enjoyed babbling! I feel blessed to have found this site; folks are delightful and it keeps me from tossing & turning ...

what is melatonin?

melatonin rocks, dee! it is an enzyme ( i think enzyme) that your body produces to make you sleepy at night. That drowsy feeling. You can buy supplements over the counter that are completely natural. It only stays in your sytem for 4-6 hours, usually much less than 6, so you don't have any hangover feeling in the morning, it's so much cheaper than a prescription, and helathier

infact, they are looking at it right now in other uses, even as a potential cancer treatment. it is a powerful antioxidant, and supposedly helps the immune system, as well.

do you know if it would interact badly with prescription rheumatoid meds?

I don't think so, since it's something that is produced naturally anyway... but I'm definitely not a doctor either.

you should probably ask your pharmacist just to be sure

thks for info; I'll ask my doc at my next appointment

yeah, definitely!

dee, do you know if your meds contain any MAOIs?

sometimes tylenol pm or xtra strength tylenol help, but I hate taking any more meds than I have to
