hursh, you're my first phantom in today's grid
:)
LOL
jac, your people are in here too
i don't remember what my first was. maybe slither.
They are? What people are those then/ Br***
yes, those
Oh heck, Yes. We really don't like that tag.
would you rather be sh***?
glad you told me, i'll try not to use it
hursh - Don't be silly!
oh dear, that is going to be difficult.
LOL. Sorry.
good nite everyone
oh, does that mean you are taking it back?
night helen!
I suppose it's equivalent to you lot being called 'you Yanks'...?
you kin call us yanks if yer wanta
LOl., hursh.
hi 7 g'nite, hk.
you kin even call us DAMN yanks
overpaid, oversexed and Over HERE. LOL.
but whatever y'do, DON'T forget to call us for dinner.
hi melon!
damned foreigners! Tee, hee!
hi, Fran!
60 years later and that's still going around.....
Indeed it is, BJ!
i'd ruther be british anyway.
you, gwyneth paltrow and madonna hursh. :-)
now this hi7 is the first one that has stopped me in my tracks.
ah, but they have money to smoothe their path
Lots of old men still grumbling about that 'over here' and lots of old women still grinning. LOL. All's fair in love and war, when you don't knoe if you'll be coming back to where you left later.
Shalom Everyone
you could just adopt a faux accent and tell people you are british.
OK - NOW what have i walked in on - i always miss the funstuff!
hi arb!
ARB! Shalom!
i'm not that good at accents...
Incidentally, BJ, how much of a native Canadian are you?
HI Melon. Ma Nishma?
melon, that's a beautiful modern menorah in your icon, very chic
don't you know you're supposed to knock first melon? Around here who knows what you are likely to walk in on....
but i read british things. and what i say is, if you can't be british, be as british as you can.
melon, i was pointing out a word to jac (br5) and it sparked a discussion
I got a photo of my family in Canada yesterday from my Mum. I was shocked at how much my Canadian auntie (British born) now looks like Lizze II with 2 stone added.
le7
le8
grandparents on one side danish nationals came over in '23. Other side is English great grandparents on one side, 8 or 9th generation canadian in the middle.
*yawn* hi all
not related to my 7 i think...
hi ata!
ooh, ata's up early
Buy me a t-shirt with that on it and I'll wear it.
Hi, ARB, i'm home recuperating from a hysterectomy -since you asked ;) - elective due to family history. kids have been huge help - my 15 year old son made chicken soup. My fridge runneth over.
Oh yeah. Hello all.
so another le7
yes
oh, ARB, and where have you been - travelling i know . . .
i hope you're recovering well melon!
far too early!
Kol Hakavod to your 15 year old. We jsut got back from a 3 week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Tres interesting.
BJ - that's a pretty feisty mix of genes. Enjoy!
did anyone mention le8?
ata, did you get up in time to do more of the last grid?
oh yes dear, only just
wow arb, that sounds great, i've been to Vietnam, loved it.
i'm considered the pick of the litter.....
no ... but I should have done, just spent the night tossing and turning and getting annoyed I couldnt slepe
:(
I'm sure you are, BJ!;)
he's a good kid ARB - alsop to my daughter, 20 - who really kept the house going - she slept here for the 1st time since she was 16 - that warmed my heart.
carpe FELIS!
Aw. Melonhead.xxx
tx jac
My middle daughter is here from Vermont for Chanukah -- there is a reunion going on in my living room right now, so I may be very distracted.
carpe felis! my felis is way too fast!
b 7, 8, 9
you must be MORE velocious than your felis! and sneakier!
my felis is asleep! for once!
hi erda
Hiya Fran
re's are maddening
shouldn't have said that; she's just woken up
111 down, have to take a break to bathe the baby, be back later
enjoy. BTW, I'm lighting an oil Chanukiah i made in ceramics class - if I ever get a digital camera i'll put it in my profile. I threw 8 little bowls with stems - quickly without trimming and attached them to a slab - then one taller one to hold the "shammash". glazed in a verdigris/turquoise - looks ancient. I'm proud of it.
hehe hursh, but right now i can't even laugh without wincing!
oooh, sorry melon!
up to 5 re7 now
aw Fran, enjoy baby bathtime!
s'OK hursh
yay! an 8!
argh, we can't have meltier?!?!
ta-blinkin'-Dah Atalante!
obviously not!
I keep wanting burrito
how do i play this game?
and thrush
do you know Boggle cory?
you don't - it plays you
no, I don't want that, ty!
ferris is not found in the dictionary
be the grid, be the grid
and owns you - and haunts you . . .
Ata - that donkey word is distracting, Please don't make me see it again.
this
yeah, i guess cause it's the guy Ferris invented it
apparently it's not the game i thought it was
don't listen to them cory
LOL
cory, go to Help of scroll down to Angelsong
*or
cory - You've arrived whehn all the hard core nutters are in situ. LOL. Don't be afraid...
200!
lol
ill try not too, but i think i actually figured out how to play
oh, good. cory is laughing!
addicted already.....
Th ard core nutters who are so tired that they can no longer spell.. loL.
yes... jac's right... do not be afraid, cory, for you have found favor with dr_god, and the glory of words will come upon you, and the power of enable will overshadow you, and you will be with grid...
lol
im there already
yeah, a grid - or is it "Matrix: Discombobulated"?
aNYONE WANT SCARING TO DEATH OR AWAKE ENOUGH TO DO THE GRID?
em7
Sorry, shouting not intended.
did anyone mention the su7/8 combo yet?
9!
oh i thought that was the scaring
don't think so GW
is it sub-something?
9, melon? You mean you have only 9 left to find?
nope
(i think she found the 9)
oh
ahhh, a su7 of lampreys
no, silli jilli - i got the one 9 letter word.
So how is everyone today/night? I am trying to burn out my brain so I can fall back to sleep -- Seb jolted me a bit wanting his midnight snack :-D
i never did find that hi7, anyone got a clue?
ew, hursh - are you on a Great Lake?
well, that's amazing too, hurshy!
no, melon, but look at the grid!
hi woulf
hey jilli
ooooooooooh, you are clever hursh
Go and watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B9Glay KS_0
what an unpleasant thing to find in a grid!
I mean melon -- getting the 9 (I'm too pooped to party)
lol
and lake Erie may be the ee7 of them all!
Hiya, Wolfie - don't watch that clip from USA Wife Swap unlesss you want nightmares!
lol
i had gotten the su7/8 - would have never looked for those slippery adjectives had you not been so witty . . . .;)
Jac -- I try to avoid all such reality shows at all costs -- I regard them as the death of TV as I used to know it
That 'Gof Warrior' is truly firghtening! I ondr what harm she's done to her children.:(
it wasn't so much that i was witty as that the first time i encountered either of those words as a child they were joined in that phrase, and so i always think of them together, it's just a lucky happenstance that the e's were in the grid :)
ooo! got the 9 too!
back from bath time.
any clues for the 9?
Wolfie - like me, unlesss I encounter them on the Net, you do right.x
after my own heart jac - reality shows came in - like lampreys - to fill a gap during threatened actors and writers strikes. necessity being a mother - the networks found a cheap actorless/writerless cash cow.
hi GF
lampreys filled in for actors? how did i not notice that?
what a painter uses - as an adjective - superlative.
hello, fran.
oh, you know how skinny actors are these days - maybe it's the dental work?
If happenstance isn't a dictionary word, it SHOULD be!
thanks, had all the others.
oh, girlfriday - that's one yummy latke!
it is jac :) i just checked
I mean those related to that word
yay! found the su7/8 combo
yes,it was my latke icon from days ago...
and if we had happenstances, then, that would be the longest the stats could accomodate
hi7, anyone got a clue?
and an iconic latke it is - golden, crispy not soggy - mmmmmm - latkes!
my stats don't show an Hi7....
new phantom: hirsute
i think it was a typo hursh
oh... so somebody LIED!! ah well.
But you must watch this woman on Yiu Tube - she's moe fundamental than the so-called fundamental fanatics. The hat inn her eyes is scarey. Dunno what Jesus or his Dad would make of her!
try lindasgourmetlatkes.com next hanukkah. Forget about making them yourselves, its a waste of time and too greasy. These are the best latkes Ive ever tasted and she ships them cooked and frozen, just reheat. I swear by them now
i think melon said hi7 instead of hi!
lol
oh, did i start that - i'm so sorry!
grrr. decile, percentile, septile, stupid enable
I missplet a lot too in my last post. Never mind!
misspelt. LOL
gf - i don't think my kids would let me - tho non cooking this year since i'm recuperating.
you got the point across jac, i understood every misspelt word
God, or is that good, Fran?!
gee, I have 8 grey tiles, lol
hmm, i've gone from 200 words in an hour to 6 words in 15 minutes
i was grrr-ing about those exact same words, hursh - also ferrier - the guy who takes you across, not the blacksmith
treer
yes ferrier we had the other day and it was annoying then too
ach
how ever can you do that & chat at the same time?????
oh, me? i dunno, i guess the chat might have slowed me down in one way, but the mentions of long words help me find them, so it balances out
ferris is irritating too, you'd think by now it would be a generic term.
i can understand that - i got my best jewelmaster score ever while on the phone.
goiong over to Lickety with 116 left...
anyone have those 2 lonely r's?
On he home front, what is set before me? Vaccuuming all of the house and finishing of shopping list. Oh, and going out to get car parts at some point before 5,30pm.
hi all
one of them is the hindu poet, hursh
omg scary scary woman!
got all the BUs :)
Hursh - No idea. Sorry! Not taking any interest in grid words... yet.
me, too, melon. actually got all the bs!!!
taDah 4U!
I'm working thru the BRs now - just 7 to go.
the other is the what the sun does in the morning...
Well, I've inished 2nd corrections on my proofs now, Time to go, I guess. Happy Babbbbling.
googled hindu poet, nothing short enough to be a grid word came up, lol
later jac!
good morning everybody:)
brandy, if you mean the four, that's upper - or is there a longer built on it?
I see! just inflict that wife swap pain on us and then go! fine!
bye jacula, hi jean
no, i didn't see the upper on that one. I've go tthem both, just can't figure out which ones are the 2....
I know you'll miss me terribly, but I must go now and fall into bed.
hursh -- google "an inspired sage or poet."
You're watching it then, Ata?

Don't havr nightmares like I did, Ata! One scarey lady was that one!

Don't be 'dark'! LOL

i miss 6 b's so i hope it is related to some shorter ones :)
it is.
i must be being very fishy.
grey Bs - that was fun!
hmm, so i shouldn't be having trouble with B's? hmmm...
you'll find it hursh, or it's going to be like a bu** under your saddle
all 8's found!
ok i have the four and pl so i will build!
thought i had tried that. ah well. got em now
well, sack time for me.......

Ok -- I need to go to bed -- Kirsten is beating me about the head and shoulders with teddy bear telling me it is time to go to sleep :-D
ah but they did not!
yea fran
a subtle hint there from Kristen!
night wolfie! you know there are laws against that!
stay awake, don't re4 your head...don't lie down upon your bed... you're not sleepy as you se4... stay awake, don't nod and dream...
G'night to one and all -- I really miss being able to stay up this late and chat -- Vacations are evil in that they convince you to break your routines, aren't they?
YES!
good night grey woulf:)
and i better go to bed too while i'm still tired, so i don't get a second wind by accident.
I will be back later to find my last 91 {{{**Hugs to one and all**}} TTFN

good evening al
*all
hello Andree
morning all
hello Sprite - what a change this one is
from yesterday's, you mean?
hi sprite
yes
great! I did not like yesterday's. Yeah, found a 7 already :)
how did you all enjoy yesterdays grid, I thought it was the pits and after 100 words rather than go to the list decided to give it a miss
Only one eight I haven't been able to find. Can someone clue the tr8?
rits
tree
trees
too advanced for me mkl
sorry, sorry , sorry
I struggled all the way through until 69 words or so, then hit the list. Pure stubbornness or addiction to not just give in, actually.
LOLOL Andree :)
Hated yesterdays. Love todays.
type of ship mkl
Does it start with the prefix for three?
surely does
crap
Ah, thanks mitch, that is one that has passed this harbour before!
mkl: it also has a particular phase of sleeping in it.
used by greeks i think, maybe? had those funny eye things on the sides anyhow
Aha. Thanks sprite. Old Roman ship
roman/greek - same difference
23 to go, but I'm off for the night. Thanks for that clue. Luck to all.
night mkl, sweet dreams!
bye mlk
F7, another kind of ship(s) ;)
I can see I am going to have to brush up on my nautical knowledge - do they both use the me4.5 at the end?
lynxxx - no, not at all, these are modern ships. They never travel far :)
sydney harbour fe's lynxxx
ah... and you said a word, lynxxx :D
ahhhhh - stupidly I already had that
last br 7/28 please
I am doing well aren't I !
you're the best, lynxxx!
hiya everyone
sorry Andree, I don't know about first or last yet. My last atm is sown with grubbery.
hey kierlex :)
Hi Kierlex
hi kier
briles
sorry again!
yeah, it is just a stupid thing in the layout of the site, Andree. It is not you.
is babble delayed tnite?
never mind...
not really. not here anyway
dont you love those Bs Andree - very Aust
ahhk my hands are so cold i can'ttype.
yes lynxxx
how cold kier
hi again babblers!
wb Fran
hey Fran!
hi fran
hi andree! hi lynxxx! hi sprite! hi kier!
kier is that keanu dressed as a snowman?
how funny that bu6/27 should appear at this time of year when it is so true
oh, i'm seeing the wrong icon, your profile has keanu
it's keanu with a santa hat.
i'm still seeing a snowman in your small icon
hmm. that was the Bumble from Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. He's not as smexy as keanu
refreshing or force-refreshing usually helps
yes, i refreshed and there he is!
what is force-refreshing?
it gets rid of what's in your cache as well as doing a regular reload
in firefox it is control - F5 instead of F5 alone.
for those times when the old icons are really "sticky"
i have to laugh because i was thinking darth vader, like 'force-choke' My kids and I make fun of that with 'force-spank' and 'force-tickle' all the time.
LOL
sounds cute kier!
so you thought it was a refresh of the browser using the power of our mind?
it's so cute to see them act out 'force-tickle'
bu7/40's after the digging word please
andree, you can get a bu** under your saddle, it builds from that
FranMag, well it was the first thought that came along. You must admit, force-refresh would be a hand add-on!
very true kier! :-)
thx fran
yw andree
phantom: truism
brutish is mine
ohmykeanu, i actually got the 9 letter word WITH NO HELP! wow!
ah, that too. WTG kier!
woo hoo kier!
I don't have it yet :D
i found it myself too sprite, so i know you'll have it in no time! :-)
it is such a pretty grid, I am positive I will be able to find it :)
morning all, thought I'd just pop in for a quick chat before I head off to work
hi there kate *hug*
hi kt
hi kth
Hi Kate
had a bit of a bad night last night
hi kate!
what was wrong, kat?
*kate
he had a bad night at work and came home late and in a bad mood, I know he can't be in a good mood all the time but I just didn't want to be there listening to it
and I keep asking him about the money he's meant to be getting and he doesn't seem to be trying very hard to get it, I know £20k is a lot to borrow from a friend but he's not going to get it if he doesn't go ask the guy
I can imagine. Coping with a partner's bad mood is for when there is still a good relationship, right? Now he better hold it to himself.
no more bad nites Kate! onward full steam ahead . Let him wallow in his own problems - he's made them all
he's sick of me nagging about it and I'm sick of waiting for him to get it, it's the last piece of my puzzle, and it's a bloody big piece
I hope he will do it, kate, but keep in the back of your mind that perhaps he won't. When it is about money, things tend to become ugly.
without the money I can't even manage to continue here, I've handed my notice in at work I'm only doing 3 more days
I've done it all the wrong way around I know, but I just want to get on a plane and get to a new start
I still think you should do well to get good council on this, kate. Some help would do you good.
counselling?
a lawyer
Some lawyer
oh i get it
was confused for a moment
I don't want to get all legal, I can't keep our friendship through a legal battle
counselling is good kth but will keep until you get to your mum"s
counselling might be nice - once you are settled in a new place and have time to think about that. But for now: go legal. If he hasn't arranged for that loan so far, he probably won't. He knows you have given your notice, so there is haste!
We are of one mind on this, Andree :)
if he isn't providing you with money to look after yourself and girls now let alone to get away, how can you call him friend
I see that sprite
he is providing the money to look after us, but his wages are not enough to sustain us long term without me earning
it's just frustrating waiting for him to get on and go see this guy, it's got to be daunting going to bed so much money from a gay guy who fancies you...
kate, he is not acting as a friend should. You have to protect your interest and that of your kids. In divorce, there isn't much friendship found.
beg not bed
we're not divorcing
splitting up, anyway.
well not at the moment anyway
Evening all.
hey Angb :)
hey angb!
there are not many things that I do in a conventional manner and this separation isn't going to be conventional either, we are working hard together to remain friends and I'm sure that we will
Hello everyone, nice size grid again
hi angb
hi ang and ren
hi ren8
hi ren, yes it is, but it is much much nicer than yesterday's.
hi ren8, but much friendlier than yesterday's
Hi ren8
sprite, i almost typed nicer too
LOL - not the first time we sing in unison, Fran ;)
is there an easy way to take this list to lickety's??
I've finished my rant for the day now :)
well, you know what they say about great minds sprite.
true fran ;)
you mean besides typing them all in dorky?
yeah, it would be nice fran
my monkeys have made my fingers lazy
you can always make a suggestion to lickety, i never thought about it, just always type them in again
typing them here then there plus all the chat and the not-words makes me a little lazy
I tend to leave the list until later - and then just tick off the words I have - working thru each two letter category - and fill in the holes. So it breaks the typing up
not that i chat much, but oh well - guess i need a borroca or something
I guess I should go and get ready for work, I'll probably be back here in about an hour as there doesn't seem to be much to do
you can always checkmark the boxes on lickety's list without typing the whole word
then just type in the ones that you're not sure where they go on the list
okay kate, see you later
yeah but then i get lost and it makes it easier to locate a word if you can see the surrounding ones
later, kate
lol, which is what angb already said
bye kth and good luck
see you later kate
bye kth.
don't know what to tell you dorky. :-)
We were typing at the same time Fran
You could always forget the list dorky - see what percentage you can get each day LOL
thanks anyways, maybe 'stop being such a shlub' :D
ah, another great mind! :-)
it almost takes more words to find a way to avoid having to type them into the list, than actually doing it :P
I wouldn
good point sprite!
I wouldn't go that far Fran ... hmmmm
yeah, i have 72 left and just being lazy i guess, lol too tru sprite
angb, are you being self-deprecating or insulting me? ;-)
as non-native speaker I am amused by L7/32 and S7/32 - so little difference in spelling and so much in pronunciation!
I'm exhausted tonite. School prizegiving at kid's school. I am chair of the Board. So had to make speeches. So I am on the downer after that - so not insulting you - just describing my abilities.
Anyone who can pull that off, is smart as h*ll, Angb :)
that's right, how did it go angb?
I have no idea how it went... it was quite horrible because I had to make a speech about that sick mother ... and nearly cracked up on stage ... then when I sat down one of her daughters was crying just in front of my chair ... Aahhhh.
sprite, i don't have either of those! can you tell me the second letters please?
Se and Le, Fran. Just find them at your L so they won't give you an S.
aww, that was tough angb, i wouldn't be able to do it, i tear up and blubber during hallmark commercials.
thx sprite
thanks sprite! great clues
That's really tough, Angb. But for what it's worth, I think that seeing how it touches you is a consolation for the daughter, it is not a bad thing.
i had the first parts of both of those, didn't connect the ending!
Took me ages to see them too.
Yes, well I believe crying is good, however never like to be the cause of it. The poor wee girls have much more to go yet
must have been a very difficult evening angb
good thing it's a nice grid and not yesterday's monster, hopefully you can ease your mind a little.
Yes, but more so for the family. All the aunties and uncles were there to support the two girls ... poor things. They have the tougher job - Not a nice Xmas for them.
Yesterday's was awful - I think I gave up after getting 40 words... never mind enuf chat about me.
The roughest job, true. I am glad they have so much support from their family. ((((Angb))))
Thanx for that sprite
angb, i was the first to do quote-puzzler today, it's so weird not to have other scores to gauge the difficulty of a particular puzzle.
Yes, I often am early ... if I beat bozhawk I think yippee. But I've been busy so doing it in the morning. I do worse!
then there is the pressure of knowing at least 9 other people will see your score if you do really badly!
LOL Fran - not you -
there have been a few ugly scores angb! :-)
Should have seen mine this morning. I did secret word and have no idea where the time went. LOL
that's my least favorite puzzle
I love them all, but haven't played for ages
okay, 56 left to do tomorrow
i'll see all you great people later!
bye fran
bye Fran, sweet dreams!
Well done fran - I have only found 54 so far. But have finished work for the holiday. Don't have to go back un Jan 25th. So plenty of time. Bye Fran
night!
seereft
or - bye Fran while looking for se's!
LOL
that's fireworks here. Any clues needed?
Yay sprite
Fantastic as usual Sprite - not for me thanks, more than happy pudddling along
This is really a grid that can be done without any help, even though it is big. I really enjoyed it!
I'll be off then, have a great day/night/whatever and thanks for the fun :D
yay sprite
Bye Sprite
See ya sprite and thanks for all your kindness
hi6/21 please
phie
phire
not again, sorry
Did you mean the plural of hi 5/12 - people who pay to use things?\
thx angb
not only am I entering words in chat but am missing very obvious plurals , must be tired
There are days are like that
closing the office between Christmas and new year am so looking forward to a break
Good on you Andree - when you have your own business it is hard to take a break
can't even remember when I last took a holiday
Andree! LOL
might have been last Christmas
never mind I will get a nice long rest when I'm 6 foot under, lol
Andree you make me feel really bad - I get 9 weeks holidays a year with my job
angb I take every tuesday off to play golf and wednesday to babysit so I am just whinging, something I don't do too often
That sounds great Andree - and a good w(h)ine never hurt anyone
might call it a night, 122 left, hopefully will get back to it tomorrow before flip
bye all and happy babbling
OK Andree have good zzzzzs
bye Andree
hi all, just got the nine letter word ...thought i'd share my beaming smile with you
Well done jg - I haven't got it - am hoping it will pop out at me at some stage LOL
hi jg26 - from another Elwoodie
hi lyn, it was smokey here today wasn''t it
awful - seems to have cleared a bit now
angb, just keep playing with all those suffixes and you'll get it
Are the fires near either of you?
happily no - in the country but the smoke layer is over the city as well - and has been for a good week or so
no angb, but the wind just keeps blowing the smoke over Melbourne. It's so hazy, sometimes we have to put our headlights on! awful for breathing
Oh no - we are getting lots of coverage - a lot about the Kiwis who were injured.
Yeah, that was terrible. They certainly put their lives on the line for everyone. It takes a certain special type of person I think.
For sure - I think you can say that for all firefighters - they are marvellous
3 cheers for all firefighters esp those volunteers !!!!
Hip hip
hip, hip hooray
and one more!
hip
great timing lyn
Cracked the 100 - am exhausted - bed for me. Maybe see you tomorrow. Nite all

Good morning all - I have a glorious 0, I was hoping for a smaller grid today. :( I have 15 minutes to play, talk about pressure. lol
hi mom, that's not long
it is much nicer than yesterday's monster though
No, it isn't but I hope to get back to it later in the day.
I am glad to hear it is a nicer grid.
there is a nice m7 and m8 that themes well with our Christmas tr5 today :)

Good morning all. LOL, inge. Are you mad at us, calling us names?
hi kthdsn
You just made my day, Inge. I think I can deal with work and my evil boss now.
no it dawned on me that that word has a plural, and I typed before thinking
(passes inge the Ivory soap) :D
I am still laughing. TY TY!
Hello, I'm back. I did the b words last night and woke up early today. It's a freezing rain here and I have to do this before we lose our electricity.
any hints on the 9?
It's a comparative to the nth degree. I think most of the long words will be thus.
Hi all! Phantom word today is thrush! I'm just itching to put it in........
it's not too bad, I'm starting to get a little worried about this money he's meant to be getting me, he seems to keep putting it off (oops wrote that ages ago and forgot to press enter)
bichon, work with a b5, then build from there
Oh, how fast the time goes on Babble. 66 words and I have to go. have a great day/night everyone. I shall return in 12 hrs.
Greetings, folks!!!!
bye scrabbler ... h movieman!
I got it. Unbelievable. Redemption for yesterday
ch - which b5 do you need to build from to get the 9?
Good morning, Guten Morgen!
Hi movie

hey the 2 sisters are here inge and inge 2
hi mousey
hi mousey.
What a difference from yesterday. This grid is so much easier!

how do you pronounce inge?
actually mousey, we're twins. We even have the same dogs
pretty much in babble you are sisters
Hey, Mousie
Mousey
Mousey
what?
like the end of to sing, no harsh g
Is my key stuck?
no?
oh ok, I was trying to decide between a harsh G or like hinge, guess I was wrong lol
haha, kth. I get those pronunciations a lot.
merk you make no sence?
Cetroit's baseball team has a player with the last name "Inge" and he pronounces it like hinge. When our team was in the world series, I told people I paid that guy to put my name on his shirt!!!
lmao
We should get one of those shirts, Inge
no they didnt
How many Ps are there?
no you didnt!!
2 from the middle, none from the right, don't you have the tile stats inge2?
no idea, I am just freelancing here and got 90 words so far
I don't use the list, kth, thanks
I find it more fun that way
friut cake!!
no thanks, mousey, I prefer Stollen
surreel, spelled funny. ;-)
wookie cookie!
pie!!!
Inge 2, dont forget to make superlatives. found three more words that way

hello annie!!

bye mousey
"truish"....isn't that related to "truthiness"?
he our So. ?African babbler is in the grid
bushier
so she is!
sorry
How can "referee" NOT exist in this puzzle?
I think you are using the same E twice
I know. It just looks like it wants to be there... :-)
oh, i agree :)
ok I'm getting rather stuck with 101 left
can we run through the 8s? I have br, 2bu, me, ru
katy - there's a su7/8 combo....meaning an excessive amount......it starts with what people do with the net....
ty movie got it
and there's a le8 meaning most prone to staring.....
ty
katy, what's your other bu8.......i have the one that's most like a shrub.....
I dont even have all of those,
tx movieman
the other bu8 is related to what you do with a coffin at a funeral
movie, it's also botanical, builds off the bu4/7
movie said a word!
ty inge2 & katy......
sorry......didn't even see that one.....talk about ironic!!!!!!
I'm missing an 8...did we go through all of them?
I have a bu4/7 but can't seem to build from it
double the consonant, kth
use the superlative
(there are two bu4/7s)
i have br8, bu8x2, le8, ru8, su8, me8....
oh I get it now, I had the wrong bu4/7 and I did have the 8
movie you're missing the me8
oh no it's there at the end
ok I have the same as movie, we must all miss the same one
are there two me8s?
not to my knowledge
movie confused me by not putting them in order lol
fun grid
katy, are you aware you have the same name as Goldie Hawn's daughter?
yes movie lol
katie hawn, would that be?
no inge her daughter is Kate Hudson, the actress
I didn't know that..haha.
and a wonderful actress she is
hi shorty
hi shorty
hi shorty.....
hi inge2

NM..got it

I aint got a fever got a permanent disease Itll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy I got lots of money but it isnt what I need Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me I got all the symptoms count em 1,2,3
The missing 8 is a tr...
clue plz sparkly?
haven't got it movie, searching now! there's a tr7 before it which I haven't got so it possibly builds from that
it won't let me have most big green xmas decoration :'-(
lol
i tried that one, katy....lol
it so should be a word, we should gang up on enable and force them to change the dictionary
any dictionary that doesn't have "internet" isn't worth its babblesalt
"online" isn't in dictionaries either, it's an outrage
tr8...starts with prefix for 3
wonder if it's a compound word?
I guess it can't be a more/most combo then
found it...ancient fighting boats
oh oh I got it
inge you beat me to it
i got it too.....
snap, kth!
tx to Chiley's clue
time to shower...later friends.
cya inge2
finally got the tr - thanks!
finally have all the 8's---whew
wd annie, me too
HI all please tell me what the 8's start with: i know there are tu8, su8,, me8. Have just started and don't have any long words yet.
tu??
there's br8 and 2x bu8s, le8
br8, 2bu8, le8, me8, ru8, su8, tr8
meant tr 8
br, bux2, me, ru, le, su, tr
Esp, no tu

happiest, peri
thanks Une, had the comparative not the superlative.
clues for the le8 and su8 please
le8 most suspicious
Nm found the le8
le8 most staring
su8 plural of su7
thanks for the other bottom re clue kth!
yw sparkly
still need su8 and tr8 didn't get the ship clue earlier
su8 plural of su7--excess
when I think of excess I think of surplus and that is not here
you've got the correct first 3 letters
but I found the su8 anyway, thanks
starts with Beach Boys activity
tr8 3 + sounds like what you do when you sleep without the d
have the bu8 that builds on the bu8 (plant) but need the other please
most occupied
oops, sorry, that's the 7
have that one Une
do you have the bu4/7? then make it the MOST bu4/7
thanks got it Une
:-D
still working on the tr8
how about 3 + regarding + myself + plural
tr8 prefix for 3 + deep sleep stage + vowel and make plural
deep sleep stage is coma to me :)
good clue peri
I mean Une
Ha! figured out deep sleep stage and got the tr8, thanks une and kth
tr 8 - 3 + prefix for "to do again" + another word for I, then plural
The two p's, are they ph's?
anyone know the 9?
one is bunny
br9, extend the br8
yw :-) . . . jeez, trying to fold a sofa slip cover--had to wash it since SOMEONE threw up on it during the nite (some canine, that is)!
bunny, the other p is a pe babblet
lol you can clue and fold giant covers at the same time???
multitasking!!!!!
you are a very talented lady une :D
:-D
One day, I will learn all the babblets. Gotta admit, I've learned to spell a whole slew of new words since I started playing here, just don't know what they mean. I kill my dad at boggle!
me too, bunny!
lol bunny!
(not the thing with your dad)
I tend to forget most of the new words I find, but after a couple of months babbling some of them are finally beginning to sink in
Hi, cats and kittens. Can I get a clue for the br9?
some of them are really repeat customers!
most br5
Judi, most of what you untangle your hair with.
hey, judi
ty!
I keep typing in Irish for that middle "i" :(
i tried that one too :-)
close bunny...
I feel your pain, bunny. I keep typing "Ferris" (the movie was on the other day).
Bunny - a flower, drop the last letter of irish
He he, mee too!
OK, beat me with a fish now.
*fish fight*
I keep trying ferrier, looks like a perfectly good word to me ;-)
I keep trying felis, from hurshy's profile
I agree peri that IS a word if you ask me
Ferile, not a word, but I'm going to type it 20 more times. Acceptance through persistance.
hi all, can I get a clue for em7/32 please
I don't have it sugar
plural of rough nail files
TY Une
Ithanks une!
ty une
Thanks Une
tx Une, one more to go...........2nd fe 6/27?
yw :-)
thank goodness there are no A or C words today!
a little creature with wings but fe
I agree! Those c's were horrid yesterday.
I gave up with 88 to go yesterday
ok Une, I'll work on it!
listening to Carly Simon's Greatest Hits--love it when friends move and wanna get rid of lots of "stuff"!!
sugar the 2 fe6/27s I have are both singulars of fe7/40s if that helps
urgh I hate "stuff", I'm leaving all mine behind
kate, the one i was cluing is a third one
I don't see it, I'm thinking bats and butterflys, am I close?
Moving was a great incentive to get rid of those things I knew I'd never use again. I kept the garbage men busy for weeks. I even cried over some of the stuff I threw out, but it was needed, and I'm sappy. Those trash men thought I was nutty! There were people in my yard in the middle of the night hauling things away.
sorry, it's a little 'person' with wings
lol bunny thankfully I don't have to deal with that part, our house looks like a bomb hit and I'm just going to leave with the stuff I want
I cleaned out a bunch of stuff this summer --donated to a benefit sale for one of our local dog rescues
PLUS I'm a firm believer in regifting!
Une, that's a good idea. I didn't think any of mine was worth donating, but I guess some people did. i took some of the clothes to Goodwill. I need the beds and dressers I set out would get picked up by people who needed them.
still don't get it une, I'm lost
Fireworks for me! thanks for the help Une and Kth
wd sugar
Congrats Sugar!
congrats, sugar!!!!
neither do I Une
kth, you were trying a word that wouldn't work earlier, rhymed with the irish dog, remove the last letter and stick on the plural.
Yay Sugar!!
MAB
Sorry, not Irish god, Rat Te****r.
ok, the definition is Scottish word for strong
Duh, thanks Bunny.
thanks guys, I have 5 mins spare, can I clue anyone?
I think my brain fell out... ?
lol
em 5/12r
or em6/21?
Considering the circumstances, we all think you're doing great!!
<----blows dust of Kate's brain and replaces it
em5 al spelling of middle eastern ruler
*alt
found 100, back later to finish
thanks une!
Bye Peri
thanks sugar, right now I'm trying not to giggle, don't think it would go down very well at work...
bye Peri
bye, peri!
This is true, kth, keep a straight face!
On second thoughts, with only 3 days left, what the hell...........
lol
Jump up on the desk and serenade the boss while line dancing, that's always amusing.
somehow i think I'm going to pass on that one bunny
Course, I worked at a bar. Hope you didn't take my suggestion!
I'm thinking 'liquid lunch' for kth tomorrow - that should entertain the boss!
oh good god I do not want to be drunk at work, I'm a terrible drunk
mornin babblers!
hi evan
Oh how fun, go out with a bang! I'll say this, my last boss had a great sense of humor or I'd have lost my job several times.
Just make sure you get a written reference first!!!!
Morning Eva!
hi evan
lol, true
bunny, I think you and I are a baaaad influence!
Moi?!? No....
now I can't even remember what word I was trying to find lol
how are we all this morning? recovered from yesterdays grid yet?
Gotta go guys, see you all tomorrow
just about evan, it was a hideous monstrosity
bye, sugar
cya sugar
bye sugar!
50 words left!
78 to go here
59 here
83, I wanted to get to 50 before I opened the list up, but...
I'm going to take a break, my brain isn't working and I have some reading to do
later, kate
Bye Kate.
bye kate!
I'm missing a fe6 and fe7 - think they are linked. I have one who touches + plural
I only have one fe 6&7 combo spelt like actor Will Fe****l from Bewitched and Wedding Crashers.
thanks bunny - they are the ones!
hints on the Ps? are they really obvious?
both 4/6s - one is ph, the other pe
I don't think they're obvious at all!
can clue if you want?
noodled the PE
and the PH too -- thanks for the stats on those. :)
yw :)
cute icon, sparkly
thanks rae - one of my cats :)
i definitely wont be finishing this one, but at least its not as aggravating as yesterdays!
I dunno, you might finish, alot of the words run build off eachother.
man, for the want of a second "L"!! shrill, shrills, shriller, shrillers, thrill, thrills, thriller, thrillers, sill, sills, hill, hills, till, tills.... im sure there are so many more, but i keep phantoming all of those!
lol!
does anyone have the le7/32?
flowery hawaiian thing + being certain about something
thanks rae, another obvious word I didn't spot!
it's all good...you'll get better at seeing them. I find pushing my chair back and looking from a distance helps
yeah I think it's time for another break actually, I have a few bits of housework to finish then back for my last 33!
I like to beat on the monitor until the letters move into place and show me the words.
bye everyone :)
lol bunny, sounds like a plan!
Bye Sparklygem
they frown on that at work though...
Bye SParkly
man, ive been babbling for over 2 years now + i still never see the long ones without hints...heh
But Evan, we still have so many ier, iest, er, ers left. We would miss 1/3 of the words if we took away those potential suffixes. My biggest decision is whether to put an s behind the er or make it est.
rofl @ bunny!!
Bye Sparkly
merl -- not sure to darn you or thank you -- not sure id noticed all of those suffixes!
!! evan said a worddd
hah, i DID!
It's been a long time since I've twisted and turned around so many e and r tiles.
unfortunately, it was one i already had...
oh frick!
oh well...
dont forget the "more so" version of that word too. :)
yeah...lots of conjugating today
I'm not that far down yet, so I had to scour Evan's sentence to find the word. It's hard to chat without using a word now and then.
lol..it's true...I have a very good firend by that name so I always see it
I thought that "ish" ending would be used a lot.
hi all, who can clue the 3rd BU? it's a bu6/27
bunny -- there is the green stuff you put on a hot dog...
mmmm hot dogs...
That's the only one I have... I think. It hurts when I do.
That's what makes this grid better than yesterday's. Few longer words built on words around it. This grid flows. You get a base word and automatically can find three or four more in some cases.
evan, thanks!
gwen the only bu 6.27 I have is: public transpotation + I"d like fr*** with my supersize
YW gwen
Gwen, my third bu is a 6/27, but I'm not done with the b's, might not be the one you need. It's just like the br 6/27 before it, but pluraled instead of comparative.
The defs are someone or something that fill in a hole in the ground.
tanx, guys, but them's ain't it. 8-)
im not close to done, but the 3rd BU i have (which is a 6/27) is what a pirate does to his treasure
You can double the middle cons in that treasure one for a bu 7/40 :)
theres an ME7-8 combo that i hope we all are this holiday season. ;)
yay 5 sleeps till santa!
im generally quite happy this season...unfortunately, the BF is going through some tough times right now, so its tough to be in a good mood when someone you love is suffering... :/
My kids are like little hyenas. They walk by the tree and drool and stare at the presents. We just set out a santa present and fill the stockings on 12/24. I don't know if they can make it!
that's true, but being positive and happy will help more than any medicine, believe me!
do you let your kids open a gift christmas eve, bunny?
Usually we let them open one, but they only got 7 apiece this year, so it's gonna have to wait til Christmas morning.
bunny -- my parents did the same thing! there were family gifts + then certain ones from santa -- actually, i think i STILL get gifts from santa...haha BTW -- did i know you were only 27? *ponders*
:) my parents used to give us new pyjamas to open christmas eve
rae -- i hope so. im trying to be happy enough to help him along, but not be so happy that it reminds him how rough things are for HIM, yknow? i think he appreciates my being around to help him through it all...
That is an excellent idea! Pj's to wear that night, and they all love pj's and fuzzy slippers, you've inspired me!
exactly
thank my parents...
Eva, how old did you think I am?
we got new pj's to wear that morning for pics etc and we got to open a gift and it was something they had to get us anyway
bunny -- i dunno, just most of the people on babble are about twice my age, heh (im also 27!)
I am missing a li 4,4. It comes either right after the untruths or before the speech impediment.
I'm 26!
oh gawd...now I feel ancient...I am almost double an adults age....***whimper****
merk -- french for "book"
I tell the kids I make monthly payments to Santa for their Santa presents, which are usually more expensive than the others. Got them all MP3's this year. I'm only 27 for a few more days, thirty is comin up fast!
harp like instrument,
wurdy -- *I* never claimed to be an adult! quit calling me names!! *hehe*
italian money
that really floors me just goes to prove young is in the brain and not the number
My dictionary says French for book is livre or cahier
bunny, I'm sure your kids will be thrilled with their gifts...
bunny---I am one of those nuts that gets up the day after thanksgiving at the butcrack of dawn and goes shopping. This year I got my kids an entire computer for $187 and mp3 players for $30
oh yeah, guess my french is rusty....remove the V ;)
I have the one that is almost like Italian money. Is that French for book? So I still don't have my missing li 4,4.
french for bed
That is lit or couche. I'm using the plural of one of those. It should be right before or after the one that is like Italian money.
lish
li4/4 - like the currency, but change the final vowel...
merk -- its the french book minus the "V"
Nooo, I don't even leave the house on Black Friday unless someone is injured! I start shopping in January. I present a week when I get groceries and $30 on a Walmart gift card so I can but clothes that will fit around October. I'm wrapped and done before Thanksgiving.
that's not one of them...fyi...
Yeah, i tried it.
lol
wow bunny. *said in total awe and envy*
I guess I will stay stuck for awhile then.
merk -- did you see my clue?
I'm a little too organized, maybe a bit obsessive. My clothes are color coordinated and the DVD's are alphabetized.
Merk - li4/4 - like the currency, but change the final vowel...
I love black friday. We have this best buy around here that offers a personal shopper...I save my money all year like you do..and then make an appt with tthe personal shopper. The night before they pull all the items and i dont wait in line overnight. and it does not cost any thing extra. it is beautiful. and they give you coffee
hah bunny -- my clothes are color-coordinated too! in the closet, anyway
*pokes head back in* what's black friday?
ohh...black friday....I've always to go south for black frriday
You can usually get Black Friday sales online too, so I can order and have them mailed.
atalante -- the day after thanksgiving in the US is called Black Friday
it's like boxing day Ata
day after thanksgiving with all the nutty people go shopping really early in the am
its the day all the holiday sales kick in + people go shopping like crazy -- thus taking the stores from being "in the red" to "in the black"
oh! ty! :)
never heard of that one before
don't you guys have crazy sales on boxing day?
Tis a day of bloody noses and little old ladied finding amazing bursts of strenght as they beat i Walmart with the 42" TV to save $10.
utterly! huge ones!
that's black friday...UK style
do you do black friday round 2 on boxing day?
only it's BEFORE christmas...what a concept!
they don't have boxing day
we dont have boxing day over here. though there are always great after-christmas sales.
so is the day after christmas just a normal day then?
...beat you in Walmart.... my fingers went nutso
yep. a day for recovery...heh
we have sales before Christmas now... some shops are doing so badly they have regular sales...
do people go back to work on "boxing day"?
here, the night of christmas, everyone lines up outside ourr equivelent to best buy and wal mart for all the "deals"
If you shop throughout the year, you can usually find sales that are equal to it without the hectic rush, or clearance items. I get alot of discounts from shopping online too.
atalante -- most people take the day off...the government doesnt give us the day off, so some people do have to go back
stile
They have great sales on Christmas items the day after Chritmas.
woops...that's aword...
I agree bunny...
thanks rae -- didnt have that one yet. :)
So that gives you the me****** Christmas of all!
np
More Rae, more! I had that one.
yeah, you can get great deals on wrapping paper + cards and decorations for the next year!
I'll try harder next time, bunny
rae, feel free to accidentally post a coupla 8s ;)
k...will do :)
I always buy my christmas cards for next year in the sales
so do I :)
eva - have you got the 8 which is most like your president?
Yes, Sherb, isn't that a cute one!
I like to get the lighted decorations or the inflatable ones, they are expensive, but 1/2 to 3/4 off after Christmas.
And I gave you a good me 8 clue a few moments ago.
have you seen that inflatable one with the moving carosel?
theres a Dollar Store by my house that actually has really nice stuff -- i buy all my wrapping supplies there. the cards are so-so, but definitely good for keeping on hand, just in case. and i even buy small gifts for coworkers or for my dance girls there...
Yes... I want it! Hubby denied me.
Dollar General is the "cheapy" store here, they had some great stuff this year if you went in to buy as soon as they put out the holiday stuff.
lol...it's freaky huge! our neighbourhood associaton frowns on decorations bigger than car...
I have arrived at the dreaded re- words. Anything I should know before plunging in?
most like my president? "dumbest" and "stupidest" arent in todays grid....
oh, heh, i get it now -- yes, i have that one already sherb. :)
they should be though, evan
it's hard to believe he'll be in till 2008...
he'll have been pres for almost 10 years
yep, 2 terms. 8 years. 8 looooooooooooooooooooooong years.
Esp. when I had a son in Iraq.
At least his brother has said he isn't running, for now anyway.
I wonder how long it will take to clean up after he leaves...
at least you limit yours to two four-year terms... some of ours stay on well beyond their sell-by date...
Who knows, we might have a woman next time ... Clinton or Rice.
yes sherb...our pm was in for 14 years
I'd have liked to see Clinton in another term, but the two term limit has it's use when you want em' out.
"President Rice"...hmmm
I don't think rice will run, but I've heard a lot of rumors about Clinton going for it. I have to admit, having beem watching the news much. I didn't even vote in last two elections, I'm from Texas. My vote would not have counted.
My brain and fingers are not working together today.
no candidate I've voted for has ever won... but I still keep voting...
i think its interesting that 2 of the strong-ish candidates with their hat in the ring so far are a woman + a black man...neither of which have held the office before. i have researched yet what any of the candidates stand for, but i do think it would be amazing to see THAT kind of change in the office...
Mari you with us?
And isn't the black man jewish, I'm not sure, just heard. That would be a first I believe.
hey, I'm back for a while, hopefully with a working brain this time

ooh, hows about a cup of white hot chocolate?? ;)
I'm looking for the Lower R words. Any ideas? I keep wanting to try rubric. So I'll put it in the chat log to get it out of my system!
Sounds good too, I can't have real chocolate, just the white, but it's yummy too.
ya know...the best thing about teaching...is the chocolate you get at christms
You can't have real chocolate? However do you get through life?
chocolate is a food group
when did teachers start getting presents? ...I don't remember doing that as a child...
Ru 4/5 and Ru 4/6
this r in the last column is driving me nuts I have the *take a break* one but HELP
ru 4/6 what everyone does this time of year
is it the pickled one wurdy?
Mom, I have both of those but they come off the upper one. There must be an R word that uses the other R?
ru4/5 - a trick/stratagem
ru 4/5 a trick
oh yeah sherb...more in primary school...but even in secondary school..some of my older kids bought me choccies..its very sweet
The ru7 and 8 are highly questionable, but they build off of the ru4/6.
oh my, sorry. I have one of the two
It's hard to figure it out when there's so many words.
just need to find out which one it is
the pickled one comes off another r
the last li5/12 anyone? am down to my last 7 but couldn't have done without the list!
"supple", sparklygem.
wurdy, do you have, "one of you go here, the re** go over there?:
re6/18 - depends on
yes harp, thats the one I have
(that re comes from the right column r I think!)
I want to write a poem that starts, with supple sparkly gem
judi...i built the ru7...but the 8?
nope,it comes from the left
I think the definition of supple sparkly gem is "gummy bear".
arghh! I do have three of them but not sure which ones they are
lol!
lol harp and judi!
boy, I love vavcations, anybody want to help me write a poem?
i love poetry harp.....write it all the time

Time to be productive (and Babble doesn't count). Housework to do. Bye for now
Bye Mom
My wrapping took about two seconds this year. Hubby is having an IPod Christmast. Everything was so tiny and easy to wrap.
hi chj, Not only do I wrap but I decorate the package and every year I say I am not going to do it but I do.
i found a really nice fe8....pity the game wont accepts it..*sigh*
what letter does the 9 start with?
you are a saint
br 9
I decided to go with CJ's wrapping idea this year....I know I'm lazy
chj, lol, saint annie, that's me
i actually enjoy wrapping...its cathartic
Which is worse? Putting a gift in a gift bag or wrapping it in the Sunday comics?
how many br's are there?
wow.....id love to get a present in the sunday comics
Judi, wrapping in the sunday comics is very creative and it saves on wrapping paper, etc
16 brs
I like using the Sunday comics, also I used old maps
brrrrrr....its cold
jane, i br 8 and l br 9
I do all birthday presents in comic pages
I also do books as cards
jane, i just gave you the biggies
We save ALL our wrapping paper and re-use it. In my husband's family it is a contest to see how long we can keep one piece of paper--and the ribbon--going
are there any ph
one
That's very eco-friendly of you Harpjane.
one ph--greek letters
i have reached a compromise....i use gift bags but i attach really fancy and elaborate gift tags
ty got it
well, it's eco-friendly, but it's also a throwback from growing up during the depression
Anything wrapped in the Sunday comics should automatically come with Silly Putty (so you can peel off the images).
now for the other p
My daughter stops and reads all the comics while she is opening her present
we also save string, rubber bands, old twist-ties, it's almost like a disease.....
I need some help with the center i
Judi I love the silly putty idea!
is also a 4
i= van gigh flwer
chiley, a four letter flower
can someone clue the br 5 & 6, just after our oversea babblers and before the hair*****?

the ships, tell them about the ships!
cape, ancient warship
Good morning/afternoon all. Atalante, how is your hand and did you complete yesterday's grid?
are tehre really 50? why not 51?
tr 7 & 8 - word meaning three, tr* + deep sleep + vowel, then plural
Hello Haz
cause there are only 50 states.
fitty dollar chj., but it's still a good deal
Hello Faerie!
wooden ships....on the shoreline
hi haz! no I didn't *sigh* I forgot to wake up before the flip. and my hand looks like its used as a pincushion!!
the last re7,40? please?
Oh, poor hand!
Haz I see an that you and your daughter could pass for sisters WOW
duh, why was I thinking there were 51 *sighsigh*
does mexican beans again
re 7/40 - re + to cook in oil
We look alike - you're right, but she has the advantage of youth!
maybe someday puerto rico will get in and then you'll just seem prescient.
thanks bunny. One more clue? The last re6,27?
still can't get the tr7,8
R-O-L-A-I-D-S
re 6/27 - re + sounds like what grows on trees and plants (to take a load off)
ARGGH TY
*waits to get yelled at for spelling out the word in chat*
good clue BV and Hi :)
tr 7, 8 = roman ship and plural
tr 7 & 8 - 3 + prefix meaning again + another word for I, plural for 8
Afternoon Faerie!

doesn't anyone remember that commercial? :(
Nooo...

hmm, well do you remember, TUM-T-TUM-TUM-TUMS
Yeah, don't they still use that one?
i think so.
I don't watch TV anymore so I don't know
score one for tums.
em7?
I can't say that I NEVER watch TV but I don't watch it on purpose
boards with which to file your nails.
thanks hursh
I will be seeing more TV now with my new job due to the fact that there is a 52" TV in every room :(
elst
oh well
i was watching the great outdoor games the other day - i never realized how mathematical lumberjacking is. this one guy was chopping and he had such a great logarithm going.
hi again!

I work in a facility with the severely mentally retarded it is suppose to be good for them
re 5/10 - he re*** the lamp after it went out
how about the two right after that?
i wonder what the severely mentally retarded did before there was television...
Serves as a stimulus?
re 6/21 - re + you **** chocolate by heating it up, plural for 7
the cheese got solid again and they had to re6 it
thanks bunny
yep and I disagree
ooh! I made the list... *does the elderly villager dance* *or rather the village elder dance*
I suppose healthy doses would be ok
congrats Pappa
Specific programmes might stimulate, left on all day it just becomes moving wallpaper.
Afternoon all...........
Howdy Cait!
greetings caitlyn
Good afternoon, Caitlyn.
but not 24/7 and it causes bad behavior as in Sexually!!
What are they letting them watch?!
the first me6/21? anyone need clues while I search for my last few?
anything they want
me 6/21 - the most of ending on the me 4/5 before it
the me6 drop of flavor
I need 3 t's from the top corner
me6/21 - the least
I have one gentleman in my home that is blind and listens to the evening news which is wonderful but before and after that anything goes and the staff doesn't get to choose
the daytime soaps are the worst as far as I'm concerned
top corner T's - tr5/10 one who tests something + plural
Why doesn't someone on the staff turn the soaps off?
got those
dirty soaps, hahaha
and the thing that grows in the forest
Good afternoon everyone.

How's your back, Haz?

Hi Jac
Hi Jac
Hi jacula
Hello Jacula - some days better than others. I had a session with traction today. That was interesting.

Hi temple and jacula

It was not painful, uncomfortable, but interesting!

lots of suffixes to play with
Yesterday's grid was truly horrible.
still dont get the tr 7 and 8
i didn't even begin.....
I agree
I was pleased that i finished yesterdays grid..
hi6?
tr 7 - word meaning three, tr* + prefix for again + another word for I, plural for 8
yes, i imagine the ish suffish is a source of debatable words....
jane, plural of the person who gives you the job
hi 6 builds off the words before it
hi evrey1!
thanks bunny one more from up there and it is grey
hi6 plural of hi5/12
tr4/7
I thought so too TO, but it doens't come up much.
hi6 = those who rent or lease something.
hey wait a minute - 31 b words?!
Hi Minty
well, 17 of the b's are simple
Harpjane, plural the h/5 before it.
I keep trying 'burrito'. It's not there.

not too many biological terms in this grid, eh?
thank goodness
bu7/44 ...
My cats do tons - here...look, this one is sleeping. Talented, this one.
more shrubby
venite adoramus, dominus.... pavarotti is very good
or, more of GW
Oh, Hursh, it broke my heart about his diagnosis
oh dear, is he sick?
lol, thought babblerabble was talking bout GreyWoulf
He has pancreatic cancer.. the same thing that took my mom in 2000... and her last months were spent with me listening to the three tenors and his single performances
ohhhh :(
what is his prognosis? do they think they can treat it?
has anyone seen woulf lately?
yeah he was on last night
I know. Her birthday is Christmas Eve... and the passing of time doesn't make it any easier for my two sisters and myself :-(
well one of the three tenors has survived "terminal" cnacer already so ....
i'm so sorry scarlet :(
but this cancer kills quickly
It usually does take only three or four months... Mom was in a clinical trial for some types of chemotherapy, and survived for a year and a half. Thanks for the compassion, Hursh
to quote the wicked witch of the west... "what a world, what a world"
The odd thing about this invasion is that size doesn't matter... the cancer can have the perimeter of a pinprick, but be deadly. Life is very strange... but immutable
hello, scarlett I'm so sorry to hear that, it must be hard for you
Hi, Kate. Sometimes it stabs my heart, but then I get my head on straight and remember the wonderful times we spent and the most precious gift of all: Mom taught me how to die with dignity and total class. How irreplaceable! How are you, dear?
afternoon babblers...
I'm holding up, things aren't quite going to plan which is very frustrating, but he's going to go talk about getting my money tonight which will be a weight off my mind
Sometimes I absolutely hate how money rules the planet, but at least you are in some kind of dialog about the need to have it. Hugs and prayers, Kate.
i'm a bit confused about the br 9. I have the br 8...
re6/21
most instead of more, jaime
Hello all
yay! thanks :)
oh no, the cheese is solid again, we must re6/21 it!
scarlett I agree, I hate money and the way it controls things, but without it I can't leave, so I need it lol
death is permanently ensconced on everyone's doorstep .... the past will not change .... the future may ..... today is the time .... before the last breath
Missed you yesterday Babble
and happy holidays to you too!
is that a quote babble or did you write it?
Thanks for the philosophical rendering, BR... the last mystery
Kate, did you apply for the childrens' passports, yet?
almost scarlet, they are at the school waiting to be countersigned, they were meant to be posted today, which I'm really p**** about
they should be sent tomorrow though
babble you weren't around yesterday, we had a monster grid and could have really used your clues :)
hi peeps
Hi Jaime
hi jaime
i have the songs from "the year without a santa claus" stuck in my head! "im mister white christmas im mister snow im mister icicle im mister 10-below they call me freeze miser whatever i touch turns to ice in my clutch im too much!"
evan, that is very naughty of you, to infect us all with that meme!! 8-)
What a cute song. I hadn't heard that
"im mister green christmas im mister sun im mister heat blister im mister hundred-and-one they call me heat miser whatever i touch starts to melt in my clutch im too much!"
I'll take mr green christmas ( : in the 80's here lol
i love that movie...hehe
I haven't seen the movie but the song is cute
you guys gotta watch it!
I haven't seen it, what is it
gotta get to a meeting... *UGH*
if I could ever get away from these monster grids I will lol
I'm off to do some more housework. Down to 10

bye mom
bye mom

foflol
sad isn't it?

I have 65 left, 6 of them being 7s
on the number keypad, presumably
yes hurshy
that number keypad is impish
you'll get the 65 before the flip, I am certain of it, Kate
it might help if I was trying though lol
i now just have one FSST left instead of two
lol
everytime I go to get away, I find more words
that's what I'm doing wrong then, I'm not trying to leave lol
lol
*pushes kate towards the door*
my shoulder hurts and my ball has deflated too much so it's aching even more
oops, should have pushed you on the other side :(
and, um, you have balls?
sorry that probably made no sense to anyone but me, I sit on a gym ball, and it's going flat so I am now too low for the desk
ohhhhhh
ty for clarifying kate, lol
someone has messed about with my chair at work too, which is too high for the desk, so my shoulder is just confused and achy
ello sha
Could someone clue the 2nd fe6/27?
su 7... I have the first 4 letters. anyone have a hint?
turtle, like a babbler fa****
when you have an excess of something it is a su7
My second fe6/27 - comedian Will, or weaselly animal with diff last letter. But maybe there are others.
Thanks!
su4/8 + sounds like the word for consume
great, thanks!
How about the last fe6/27 7/40 combo?

hello stidmama:)
Hey there stidmama, I have the apple crustada recipe and I found the one with almond paste. Do you want me to e-mail you or post them in bab anon
Hi, stid, still no power in the northwest???
thanks rae, we were SO lucky! a neighbor four houses away had THREE trees *on* her house and two more *over* the power lines!
We actually got power back at our home last night, but no cable yet so here at the library again...
Stidmama, glad to see you are okay
wow...that is lucky! I'm glad you guys are ok
they are???? on which network?
*drool* oh -- if you don't mind posting to BabAnon, then others can enjoy them too!
on comedy network in 2008
stidmama, you are welcome to come winter here ( : 80's today
Ok, I made the apple crustada again, my niece is coming for dinner
awesome, raelite
me too, thanks rae. I heard from Jillibus that Victoria was hit a bit, but a friend in Bellingham said they barely noticed it!
apple crustada, will definitely like to try that out, thanks!
ow
LOL thanks Gramma! *packing swimsuit and suntan lotion*
come on down lol
*tossing housekeys at kids on my way out the door*
Annie, the recipe is actually called : Easier than apple pie but my niece called it an apple crustada and she watches all the cooking show. crustada sounds much more interesting, no?
does anyone have the re 7/40 that comes after the one that means to direct your attention elsewhere?
how hard is the grid today? should I start or... ???
crustada sounds exotic...will definitely make it. love apple pie and ice cream
and 2 of my kids just left today for Michigan, I think they are stoned lol
dive in, stid
it's not bad stid
Compared to yesterday it's a doddle.
it is very easy to make Annie, uses a store bought crust but you can make your own if you want
jaime not sure what you mean... you want the mexican beans one?
they'll be back Christmas eve, and I'll spend Christmas with all 14 of my grandkids...woohoo
will try to post both recipes by the end of the week
14 grand kids, yikes, how old are you kids, if you don't mind me asking
yes, thanks!
I have a store bought crust in the freezer and it is quite good.
we got a good gusting but nothing serious...we did not lose power. However in Sooke on the east side of the island the power is still out
not at all peri, son 30, daughter 28, daughter 27, daughter 23, son 32
I am very blessed

It keeps things cross-pollinating that way, torg.
yes stid I'm doing alright thanks *takes cookies and hot tea gratefully*
wow. hadn't heard about Sooke, rae -- hope their power is restored soon. About 130,000 are still waiting in Washington...
Mmmmm . . . pollen . .
poor tor are you all confusled?
I heard on the news about that this morning...it's crazy that we're getting another storm tonight!!
Always kate . .
Anything that has to do with reproduction sounds good to our torg.
bbl
{{{tor}}} *starts to tap dance with a giant butterfly*
I really want to play my music but I don't know if I dare, I'm liable to cry
later peri! thanks for the recipes!
we could sing a babble song
kth -- maybe crying is what you need? what sort of music are you considering?
i'll... find wooooords... for christmas... if oooonly in my dreams
soppy bon jovi songs, what else? :'-(
you should do angry music - LL Cool J's Momma said knock you out!
(((hugs))) kth, I agree crying is good sometimes
It's beginning to look a lot like Babble!
I can't stand angry music lol
babble babble babble, there's no room for the rabble
lol hurshy
those who don't play will soon go away
you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, i'm tellin you why, dr_god is comin to town
ok I'm going to chance it, as long as you're all here to pick me up if I should fall apart
okay, how about something from Sesame Street? ****music swells**** It's not easy being green...
Babble, the yellow-nosed letter tile... No, I guess that doesn't work so well.
You gotta put down the duckie . .
lol vicuna
I have alot of great music on my myspace Kate... www.myspace.com/jesusismyrock feel free to browse
(put down the duckie!)
Hey Stid---how are you doing? ***sneaking on Babble while at work!***
I do need to add bonjovi tho, I love him
{{{Scrabbler}}} thanks! we are fine -- power on at home, but no internet yet. Thank goodness for internet cafes and libraries!
hi scrabbler
terri me too, he's so gorgeous and his songs are amazing
And Tom Sr and Shirley are in Chicago again for the holidays. How about your side of the family?
Good news that you are OK! You have to be ready for Santa!
stid, read your latest chapter just now. They are longer when you are houselocked!!!
I loved him better with the hair, but he is still a doll
*grin* Santa came on St. Nicholas day, Scrabbler...
LOL inge -- for sure! when there's nothing else to do, I might as well write. Though I am finding strange errors when I read them after I post...
Hi Kate--how are you!
holding up scrabbler
Doesn't bother me. I just enjoy them
he's almost as old as my dad though terri :s
I know kth lol
thanks, inge -- I enjoy writing them. The last batch of stollen I made I didn't have orange juice, so I used milk and added almond flavor instead of making it citrusy. Do you think it'll turn out okay? (I used wheat so couldn't test it myself)
heck, I think jack nicholson is hot! and he IS as old as my dad would be
my mum and I once had an argument about who would be allowed to have bon jovi first if we ever got hold of him...
Hi all..........a clue please for br9?
lol
hi flask and everyone else that came in whilst I was swooning about bonjovi lol
should be perfect. My recipe calls for milk and lemon rind, but no juice. I add almond slivers
Make the hair taming br5 into an adjective and the most it can be.
mmm.......he's gorgeous...lol
lol ditto what terri just said
Yikes ..He's almost as old as I am . .
lol tor
thanks Haz.......it was driving me mad!!
lol tor, I guess I go for older men...
See, torgone, you're NOT over the hill. You're just not Jon Bon Jovi.
It's a very peculiar word!
lol vicuna
Robert Redford can put his slippers under my bed ANYTIME!!!
i still want a hula hoop...
I never liked robert redford
robert redford??!!??
hula hoops are back in fashion
I always have too Kate, when I was a teen, my wall was filled with Telly Savalas posters lol
argh. got bumped off.
wb stid
yikes! he's a little over the hill for me...if I wanted to sleep with leather I'd buy suede sheets
Good afternoon!
I don't know who that is terri lol
hi Charm!
foflol raelite
hi charm
Hey, stid!
Hi, grammaterri
Haz I have everything else pertaining to that word.....so you can imagine just how frustrating it was getting!!
thanks inge, I wasn't sure... they're for my great-aunt and some cousins my parents have gone to visit.
lol Kate he was a hot cop back in my day
If you want to lust after old men with little hair, may I humbly suggest Patrick Stewart? AND he has a voice that could probably send me over the edge all by itself....
anyone have the tr 7 and 8?
oh captain my captain!
oh yes charm, he is a dream
*faint* *drool* oh, Patrick Stewart!
lol......nice one Charm!!!!
I agree totally, charm
don't know who he is charm, I'd take patrick swayze if he was on offer
Kate likes older men to HER lol
Jean Luc Picard, of Star Trek fame.
Swayze isn't old enough for me lol
oh, Kate is a youngster!
extremely handsome man!
ed harris!!!!
I like brad pitt too, or I did until he got a moustache, bleurch
he does nowt for me!
I am also head over heels for worf!
Swayze is too young for me, too. cute but I'd feel like a cradle robber
Yes, jaime!
lol charm me too
okay, I absolutely think "truish" ought to count.
so what's this about a tr 8?
I'm sure he'd shave the mustache for you, kth.
oh and michael douglas, I don't know what it is about him because I don't find him nice to look at, but I'd have him in a moment
You and Stephen Colbert, stidmama!
me too stid and speaking of words..back to the grid for me....righto kate
i need that tr 8 and the first th 5
the tr 8 is the plural of tr 7!
okay inge... more info please? LOL

james denton
tr8 is a boat/ship - old greek, with an eye painted on it - other thannn that I don't know
10 more words to go and if students would stop turning in late assignments for me to grade I could get this grid finished. sigh

Vi -- what is the name of the stuff you do your prints with? you said it's easier to carve than linoleum...
it sounds like joey, is what the intent was :)
thanks Vi! *big grin*
ah, larry the cucumber singing feliz navidad - does it get any better than this?
hursh, not sure who joey is, but mine is a real cut up.
could i please have a clue for the middle fe6/27
hi ursh! you're in the grid! :-)
I got that it was joey hurshy
:)
It's rubber, stidmama. It has various brand names, including "sof-kut" and "easy-cut", or something like that. Speedball makes one, too. It's the same stuff white art erasers are made from, so you can practice on those.
fe6.27 - the persons who set fr**
hi stid - yes - and its not a word?? its me!! i am a word
fe + ***s (part of lyou reye) + vowel
fe6/27 - add the eye part/flower, but change the final letter for a vowel
tuba solo!
hi stid -- good to wee you back! Got your email...
good day folks!
ty
*see, not wee -- lol!
thanks Vi --- :-) have been wanting to get back into carving some stamps, but the lino is just too hard for quick little forays...
ur**, you are in the grdi today
great icon hursh and always nice to see a pretty smiling haz!
KRISTIN!!!!! how did you do? were you all okay? Heard some sad stories from the Seattle area this week
hi Jill... though "wee" if you must (only in a different direction)
lol
I'm not doing this grid -- no time (well, I do have 33 words which I got last night)
Hello kristin - just about to take a break.
hiya all
heya stid...we fared very well as far as trees go (glad we moved our car however) Our biggest issue was that our basement flooded as did the basement of our church. When you're the pastor of a small church you get basement clean up duty too so it was a long weekend :)
is it true that the boar's head carol comes from an incident in which an oxford student was attacked by a wild boar; the student then stuffed his aristotle in the boar's mouth, choking it. wanting to retrieve his book, he cut off the boar's head and brought it back to college, where it was featured for christmas dinner?
I have 77 words and have to shut down soon... the kids are anxious to get home, and I have laundry I MUST do, now that we have power again.
hi haz, enjoy your break
heya haz
I read in the Seattle paper yesterday that several neighborhoods have had flooding problems -- but nothing seems to get done. Are you though mucking out? Hope you didn't lose any books or furniture...
okay stid, I'll have to get the scoop on how you did another time...glad all seems to be well
hi everyone -- wish I could stay, but must go -- bye!
hurshy that sounds a bit crazy,never heard it before
hyea jillibus
nope, everything in the basement is up off the floor (old house, happens once a year or so) the church took the harder hit but no major damage either place, just lots of shop vac usage :)
solong, farewell, Auf Wiedersehn, goodbye--------------Jillibus
well, archibald asparagus may not be the most reliable source of informatino
bye jilly
I just counted words with suffixes other than just adding an s to make plural or present tense verb. There are 56 words that add er, ers, ier, iest, changing y to i. Makes for an easy, though long grid. Then if you would add normal plurals ....
Last re5/10 please
Fireworks!
wd merk
well done merk!
To light the candle again, past tense.
re 5: to rekindle
Yippee merk!
Today

ty merk was driving me crazy
Today's grid took me hours and hours less than yesterday's monster ... so much more fun.
Bad little monkey!
Scrabbler!!!
I agree, this is a fun grid
don't be mean to the monkey, they have a union now
scrabbler I left some donuts in teh penalty box this morning
very few strange words, just corny endings.
I didn't even have to pull my hair out on the re-
burse
thanks cousin!
godspeed kristinc; we're still finding remnants of a 2004 flood, things we thought we were going to save, etc. what a mess!
AAAAAHHHH, penalty box for Scrabbler.
any clues for the ri5/12?
Scrabbler!!!!
just ad s, es, ies, ier, iers, est, and iest to everything and you'll do fine...
the penalty box has candy of ALL kinds and hot cocoa.
Bad little Scrabbler! Bad girl!
plural and plural bendamalina
yikes harp, no I think we'll get things under control before the holidays...we're going to Lake Tahoe for vacation!
All but a very few of the longer words are formed that way. Not the le.
ri5/12 - think of the last of the Yahi
a plural for the 5/12?
oh man, i got mixed up thought you said 5/10
i'm losing it
speaking of, could I have a clue on the le 732 please?
Not the su 7 and 8
And not the tr 7 and 8. The rest all build on the words right before them.
I could give you the clue, but it would be at my le*****
le7/32 - it's my dream to be a lady of le*****.
hurshy - I've heard that boar's head story before, told at a Madrigal dinner.
le What you do in your spare time.

Don't let the number scare you; it's an easy grid. Bye.

Yes, I am. It was the mother of my best friend. She's the one that needs our prayers.
I will be thinking of her and you merk...peace
Hi. Isn't there an em word that means to dunk something under the water in this grid or am I spelling it incorrectly?
oh gwenski, do you think it was true?
immerse
It sounds to me like a prof made it up to justify the study of Aristotle.
thanks hurshy. I never said I was a good speller.
a good cucumber like me....
I know this sounds crazy, but the el 4/4
PRobably has a basis in truth, then was embellished over time.
Find it yourself, or el4!
hurshy i love that picture where did you get that.

I'm going to have some hot tuna, raspberries, and humble pie ..
Today's irony: my final word was the re6/27 that was a re**** to find...
that's... an odd combination
you are indeed the king of irony drbernabo

irony is the master trope of the universe
Now I just need to find a yule log icon for tomorrow
then i guess you rule the universe
in which case, could i get a couple extra hours of daylight today?
hi all, br5/20 and br7/48 please

Hi Tor, Hurshy and everyone....just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I am leaving for Atlanta to spend time with some of my kids....two out of three aint bad (hee hee), saw something about meatloaf a bit earlier. Anyway, hope you all have Happy Holidays.....

Merry Christmas NANCY! XXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOO
Stick with Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts, Kthdsn.
lol...I miss dunkin, they don't have one out here
Thanks to all, will try to play on my daughters computer if I can get it away from her....
never had dunkin donuts, I look forward to trying them
I know how you feel, rae. No dunkin donies here, either. They have krispy kreme but it's just not the same.
krispy kreme...
not had those either hurshy
no...krspy kreme is somewhat over rated
Mmmmm . . .donuts . .
they are gooooooooood
you have to try at least one, Kate...a hot one
donuts really aren't that big here, I don't think there is a donut chain
Thanks Tor my sweetie. and XXXXXXXXX OOOOOOOOO to you too! Hope Santa is good to you....
I'd have to agree. Tim Hortons donuts are ookey. Why don't they have a Stan Mekita's like in the Wayne & Garth movie.
oh yeah...that would rock
timmy's has really gone downhill over the last ten years, they don't even make the donuts fresh
could someone give me a clue to the 9 letter word please. seriously struggling
need some help with the tr words...got the first three
oooooo Tor, you're popular!
Sorry, but Krispy Kreme donuts suck out loud as well. They are all closing around us. Corporate corruption or mismanagement or who knows what all.
br5.18+ an afternnon nap in Spain is a s****a
what else canadian should I try
HOCKEY!!
Oh Charm! How do you live without Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee???
They have closed all the Krispy Kremes around here. They can't compete with DD.
I don't think I would like hockey but my mum goes to a lot of games so I'll have plenty chance to try
go to a pub and watch a hockey game...it's the best!
it's rugby on skates...really fun to watch live, you get caught up in the crowd
I don't actually follow ANY sports at all lol
you can take the kids to Ottawa to skate on the Rideau Canal in Feb
thanks raelite
welcome :)
Oh I'm so looking forward to skating, there's a rink right near my mums house
have you ever skated outside?
I've only been once before in france with a really lovely guy and his girlfriend, he was a decent skater and we had never been so he spent all his time holding us both up til we could manage alone
oh and you should totally take the train to visit Montreal
one of my students this year... the toronto maple leafs are his favorite NHL team
and no it was an inside rink
I need help with "tr" words. I've only found 3 :(

hi all again -- back to scoop up the rest. Kate, just got here, so ... are you making meatloaf or listening to him?
he's in toronto in march, I might go
ooooh yes...it was just me and him..in the wembley arena...lol
never mind, I get it now :)
I've never seen him live but my grandad used to have a video, it's amazing how much physical effort he puts into his singing
did you know it really bugs him that people don't put the space between his names lol
your grandad.......................gee...th x kth...lol
Your GRANDAD? (groan... I feel so old...)
shall\ we creak off together ch?
my grandad and meat loaf are very close in age
I first saw him in Rocky Horror Picture Show, when it was still on the original screen run!
kth.... youre not helping
i feelt he same way X /
It's pretty cool though that people kate's age are still appreciating the music!!
we just saw tim curry on stage
love him!
ch,...at the concert...he had the whole gammit of ages...its was great to see
Mmmm . . .curry . .
lmao..
I didn't know Curry was still performing on stage -- I've seen him in some films the past few years.
ch I don't like much new music, I love the stuff I grew up with, including meat loaf
oh yeah ch....hes over here with spamalot..
lol tor food again
we had a hugs tray of homemade italian cookies today....
Of course, Spamalot! It won the Tony last year and I did know he was in it... I AM getting old and forgetful :D
i saw him in spamalot too, over a year ago...didn't know he was still in it... it was terrific
why italian cookies?
why italian cookies?
Hi ch1212! How've you been?
dorens...hes only doing the first 3 months of the run here in london
because the italian mom of my italian cowoker made them...most are italian recipes
very yum
did you love the show? was david hyde pierce in it, hank azaria? (they were in the originial and fantastic)
Kate, I try to listen to all kinds of music... I used to hate country-western, but then was hired as a CW disc jockey and learned to love it. Was always a classic rock fan, and classical music as well. Now I'm listening to Jewel, Eminem, and some other rappers. Also a new singer Vienna Teng - she reminds me of some of the folk singers of the 60's-70's.
i LOVED th show...i have lusted after tim curry for years...lol...but the lady of the lake stole the show i reckon
Great, harpjane! Missing Idaho this first Christmas away, but also because this is first Christmas without my dad, or my daughter.
hi dorens - please click on my profile
I really don't like rap and hip hop
ch 12, how do you get hired as a cw disc jockey if you hate the music? and yes, rolin. lady of the lake was the greatest....
To tell the truth, Kate, I'm having a hard time liking rap and most hip hop too, but I'm trying... Dorens, broadcasting is a funny business. I thought it should be about the music, but unfortunately it's not.
I recently lost all my music collection due to a hard drive failure, I was gutted, I'm trying to collect it all again, next on my list is cher, joe cocker, tom petty and michael bolton
I'm going shortly - anyone want any last clues?
i would love lots of clues
el4/5, el4/4
pl
fe7, last one please
I started as a newscaster then was transferred to on-air at a CW station, so no choice about the format. But I did learn to love the music, and got to interview Kenny Rogers, Lee Greenwood, Reba, patty Loveless and Eddie Rabbit at different times. Oh and Charlie McDaniels.
hi owl..... amazin stuff about St. Nick...how do we live to be this old and not know that? cool. and will email you about possibility of getting together next week.
el4/4 - be good or el**! (your dad might say)
thank you
You can probably tell by the roster of singers that I was in the business a loonnnnggg time ago :)
el4/5 - like me5.14 only lose the first letter (me is a card term)
i like norah jones and she sounds kind of country
cool! i will send my phone number to you= annie already has my email i just haven't been home to email. will be in NJ dec 26 and also later to take dad home. did you have a day in mind?
fe7 last one - these are people carriers on water
Love Norah, and Diana Krall (another jazz singer)
yay, done the el's thx a bunch lynx
Saw yours kth about your music. I always loved Joe Cocker. Did you watch x factor, there was a lad on that with a simuilar voice that was super
Have to go pick up my beloved soon... any clues needed before i go?
no I didn't, I love the feeling in his voice though
yeah, i need sl 5/10 ch.
i luv that you guys give clues
Bye everyone - and ch1212
I voted for this guy every week but he got knocked out before the final.I really thought he'd be in the final - I was cheated!!
sl5/10 -- to be more cunning
omigod - only 5 left. Can I get help on the me5/12 and 6/21 before the joy of the season words?
aawww shame
sl 5.10 horse girl - nmore crafty
rhymes with what's in oysters, strider
me 5/12---what the snowman does in the sun
could i have a clue for the su8 pls?
thx. got it
Dorens, got that one. the one I need is way down on the list.
too much of -plural for su 8
there are two ways to spell the oyster m's by the way su8 is plural of the su7 -- means an excessive amount of something
oh okay strider... haven't done the list yet
strider, the me ones are words that rhyme with the thing inside an oyster
two ways to spell them - one is the me4/5 and the other is me5/12 --- both have plurals
Only women bleed - Alice Cooper
Thanks ch1212, I forgot the other spelling. Now just 3 left.
Oooo, I heard ALice Cooper is doing a reality show, and is really a tough father to his kids. HArd to imagine!
fr6/30 anyone?

Congrats, harpjane
Hello, firefly
hooray harp!
BabbleRabble - i like your new icon, as well as your updated profile...very profound
hi babble
I don't think they should allow swear words in this puzzle ... I just found one.
thanks
hello you old fly havnt seen you in a long time
Hello, Kate
hello to you too mousey, you youngster you
that be I
BabbleRabble I don't care if I give away clues.
babble I love your 2nd and 3rd quotes
lol
mp you did not find a swear word!!
there most certainly is a "swear" word in here
what?
Yeah ... a "swear" word!
i find most hilarious the dictionary definitions when clicking on the ? for it!
Some people wouldn't call it a swear word, but I do.
"poo" mousey dear
I'm going to click on it, firefly!
Yeah ... they're hilarious! They try and make it sound polite, but that really isn't possible!
Yeah ... "poo"'s a synoym mousey.
i dont see 1
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
apparently it comes in other languages too - that's funny
What, kthdsn?
lol
Mousey ... think of "crap" ... think about kids.
23 res now
(sorry)
you do realize mousey is 8
I don't mean about kids themselves, I mean what kids might say!
is that all?? goodness, they're getting younger and younger on here!
time to feed the baby BBL8R
MP a meat loaf song I'm shouting along to
come back soon Minski :)
oh kate, my alice cooper is almost ready to come out of the oven
Besides, I'm eleven. Sorry, mousey, if I offended you. Maybe it's just kids in my class!
rofl
it smells DELICIOUS
M.P. - you're a youngin' too?? sheesh!
Yes, I am. Is there something bad about that?
let me know how he tastes hurshy lol
YOUR RIGHT!! SH**!!!
no! i just meant there's a rash of youngsters on all of the sudden - been awhile since i've seen any - and now i feel old all of a sudden... lol
firefly you're not old lol
Feh . .You're not old . .
lol mousey :) you shouldn't use that sort of language hehe
Maybe it's because of media teachers ... I hearrd about it from my friend's powepoint. You're not old, anyway.
i know i'm not OLD old, but still ;)
Don't worry ... "old" people have the advantage of actually finding words.
this is scary!!
no way is MP eleven
there's still something to be said about one's ten year high school reunion loooming next summer and feeling a bit outdated
hi hurshy
hi mousey :)
Why do you think I'm not eleven, hurshy?
because your grammar, spelling, capitalization, vocabulary, and punctuation are too good.
oh ... ess thes bttr?
I am so eleven!
i agree with hurshy
lol omg u r pwned!!!!11
maybe M.P. is really smart - a gifted child
Correct! I
lol tor
well if you are, that is wonderful, but i cannot help but be skeptical.
See? There, a mistake. O
Correct, I am, I mean!
we all make mistakes :)
I keep pushing enter. I'm a gifte child, yeah, just not in babble!
tor what's "pwned"
like me!
See ... I type too fast!
what are you reading in your english class, MP?
The Odyssey ... like everybody else!
stuff of course
mmhmm.
It's leet speak - owned - beaten, discovered, defeated - like that ..
ah, thanks for translating
and mousey, what are YOU reading in school?
Mousey and I are our own breed, if he/she ... sorry, mousey, I dunno ... believes me that I'm eleven. Do you, mousey!
very fond of ellipsis, aren't you?
Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,
a lot of chapter books hurshy
Eva ... they think I'm not eleven
what's an ellipse
hi eva
do you like any of them in particular, mousey?
an ellipse is an oval - which has nothing to do with ellipsis, lol
does anyone have a clue for the em7/32? I agree with them M.P. but you can be whatever age you want to be
em7 boards with which to file your nails
i dont know
ok, whats ellipsis
and for all I know you are exactly eleven
M.P., you gifted child you, care to enlighten kate?
No, I don't know what they are, either!
...
You must be smiling like your Grinch picture at home, aren't you, hurshy?
nope, just a blank expression on my face at the mo
oh hurshy - stop harrassing the gifted child already! :)
ok I'm so confused
:|
hey, i was a gifted child. so i should be allowed to harrass one of my own.
firefly, I like you. At least you respect me.
kate - ellipsis is ...
Just kidding!
mp is not 11 i reapeat mp is not 11!!
you're kidding that you like me?
no he is not
*i* respect everyone who uses written English so very correctly, no matter their age.
now I'M confused
No ... just kidding that you're the only one who respects me.
i can respect a gifted child, as i was once one myself
Mousey ... not we're not the same breed, I guess!
course not. he's a mouse.
Well, I thought it was a nickname ... that explains things!
i do try to clarify things that are obfuscated.
He's a mouse! She's a cat! They're cops!
can anyone spare a clue for the I-word?
it is a flower
that's 'i'
well since we're all on about gifted children, I was one, and my eldest is one
I have got to go ... have to e-mail my friends some problems
ah ah ah - thanks

it is a nice place. We are maybe 20-25 minutes to Lawrenceburg Indiana
hurshy don't get the clue for the fe6
were you born and raised there as well?
you know, our babbling friend fa****, formerly with a "kae"
I was born and raised here
I can understand your liking it so well.
hurshy, thought that was who you were referring to but not sure how to spell the fe6 will try again
yea it is nice i have been all over the map though and still would rather be here
hi all: le7 is what you do on vacation. Take your le*****, that is. Brits pronounces it with an Eh, Americans with an EE.

i shall have to take care to pronounce it with an eh in future

Hi Diem
(back in the grid or I would have said LOL, hurshy, when you posted that)
(i'm not a book repairer, i'm an editor) (who types too fast sometimes)
SEIZE HIM!!!
Hi mom how you doing?
Doing very well and yourself?
hey everybody... sneaked away from the madding crowd for some Babble time,, am stumped on bu 5.16 that comes right before the shrubbery.. anyone?
3rd fr6/27 please
Hi Aloyisius
disbu5, hand out money
howdy, Mom..
fr - deep fat fr6
Good thanks abeginner but is fun
Hi ... hurshy have you been on since we last spoke?
It is a lot of fun and very addicting.
purty much
Yep
have that hurshy, need the fr6/27 after that one
ahem, i SAID, SEIZE HIM!!
I wouldn't have been able to take that, even if it was only "purty much"
Aloyisius, what dogs get in their fur when they are in the woods or Raymond Bu** + plural
DUH, nm my request.. don't understand, but the first time i entered that word, it didn't work.. ??? h'mm, very strange
there isn't any after that peri
M.P., deepest apologies and all if i'm wrong.
hursh, thre are 3 fr6/27 and I only have two of them
well the one you need must be BEFORE, that's all. people who liberate, and most liberated.
people who release prisoners and deep fat fr**** are the two fr6/27 I have, need the other one
It's okay ... you are, but it was fun to talk about something other than Babble
so... you enjoyed the conversation?
didn't know most liberated was a word, thanks hursh, that was the one
Time to do the dishes. Thanks for the clues. Welcome Diem. Good night
In your words, purty much!
good night, Mom...
why isn't anyone seizing diem
in which case, why did you say you wouldn't have been able to "take that"
What'd she do, hurshy?
hurshy, I don't see carpe anywhere in this grid
he didn't do anything, but he's diem
Not you, hurshy ... the game was on my nerves
aw geez people, come on, diem is here, we should seize him, carpe diem
ah well i'm long done with the grid M.P.
fr5/18 please
Goodbye, hurshy
you leaving again?
No ... you were done with the grid, I thought you were. Good thing you like to clear people u[
peri rhymes with ... the word i just said
i am done with the grid, but that doesn't always mean i leave
i chat and clue
i have no life, you see
which word was that hurshy
the word right before "the word i just said"
IT's a very good thing you like to clairy
now I am truly confused, hurshy
since i am so unclear to begin with
clairy - oops - means clarify
*pats peri on head* it rhymes with i know a man with a wooden leg named sm***
Aha, got it hurshy, thanks
still have 71 to go, need a break bbl
did anybody find the "swear" word?
everybody found the swear word
it was my very first word today
i tried "shep" first but that didn't work so...
It was one of my first, too ... I guess it just jumps out at you
making a horrid mess on your face, ewwwww
You're all doing very well . .. I'm embarrased to admit it, but I still have 220 words!
LOL
you mean 220 to find, or that you have found?
To find!
*looks grave*
I know, but I must be
you think, therefore you are?
I don't know what I have to be ... fast!
there's more of gravy than of grave about you...
what is this ... the leading to another argument ... or maybe you're right
tis a quote
Well, I guess some quotes fit me very well
Sorry ... went to put down the window and hit close instead.
sh** happens
Yeah, I guess -- have you found any words?
M.P., i told you, i finished a while ago. i found them all.
Oh ... I thought you just quit ... maybe you did tell me, sorry
it's ok
another lovely chance to clarify
You're very forgiving
you didn't do anything
OH, well ... you clarified again, I guess. Just a general compliment then
lol
What does LOL mean ... I should know? You can clarify
laughing out loud
omg, i made it, all the re's done, that was a slog
Oh ... good thing I know, now I can use it. LOL at the ideas that I thought of
Hello Babblers. Looks like it's the MP and hurshy show here, with sheryl and me interrupting
I'm here, too. Just deep in grid...
how are you "sc"?
I guess so ... we had a dissagreement about my age and now we're just fooling around.
me too, but just starting out
still don't believe you, but don't take it personally
Well ... maybe I'm really good then!
(Not at lying, but with grammar)
exactly - if i'm wrong, it is a massive compliment.
the 2nd re 6/21?
Yeah! Thanks, hurshy!
the cheese is solid again, we'll have to re6 it!
thanx hurshy
Sorry for the delay, hurshy, I am off in another window checking my e-mail. Yes, mousey refers to me as "sc"--certainly easire to type.
i know i said HOW are you, not are you :)
Mousey ... she didn't believe I was eleven.
Easier than typing "easier" too.
We'll have this dissagreement going on for a long time ... until I get to be a pro babble member and put up my picture for you to see!
even then...
hello... back for the last 32
heya dorens
even then, you will be totally wrong. You know, I could get my tech teacher to get on here and tell you that I really am just eleven with a good grammar history!
hi all. can someone clue the br 7 and the br 8?
it's not worth worrying about, M.P. you are nice to chat with either way.
I am OK--had an inspiring afternoon volunteering at the cancer institute.
MP--you're really 11?
br7 more like a br5, and br8 is most.
Hi Dorens, Peri, Jacula...
Yeah ...I'm eleven ... not too good aat babble either
TY for the br clues
But, you can get better AND increase your "word power"!
I think I'll try that, thanks, but it's only my second puzzle ... I'm trying
MP--mousey is a boy that chats here a lot.
thanks for the br clues
hi hurshy, scrabbler (usually only run into you on weekends)--don't see mousey but hi M.P.
I know I met him in the chatterbox once
what
I'm new, Dorens, never met you before
what's wrong with ferris? as in ferris wheel? i have no idea what that second fe 6/27 is and i want it to be ferris (even if it doesn't fit alphabetically)
Dorens--I usually do some Babble in the early AM before work, so around 6-7 AM, and then again in the evening.
it's named after the guy who invented it and hence is still considered proper
well, I'm harmless mp.. nice to meet you... are you 11? what grade does that make?
aha... well, nice to see you whenever.....
I'm in sixth ... but I have talent levels, my teachers say, in eighth and seventh grade
That fe6,27 was clued earlier today--weird one. fe + part of the eye (***s) + vowel
makes sense hurshy, but can you count all the strange words that should be names but have made it into the enable dictionary?
me again guys can someone clue the se 7 for me
ah, mp then you are a gifted sixth grader... a difficult place to be sometimes...
hey i explain what enable is thinking but i don't UNDERSTAND what enable is thinking.
se7 epileptic problem
have the first one need the other pls
sounds like babbler fa****kae?
Yeah, definetly sometimes but it's okay most of the time I'm in a friends school where you can
can
can't, sorry, move up
It does sound like that, I guess, Dorens.
sounds like someone who works on clothes. sheryl
MP--just read a lot on your own, in order to learn more and to challenge yourself.
That's what I do ... I must have 2000 books , I'm thinking maybe cyber school next year where you can set your own levels
Good for you, being ambitious and self-directed! How did you find Babble?
I don't get the 2nd se 7. It's the act of epilepsy?
he's reading the odyssey in school now...
it's the thing you get when you have epilepsy, british spelling.
different second consonant though , bichon. like maybe british version
bichon--use snake instead of zed
That is serious reading, hurshy.
at the level of the highest 7th graders ... suprissed you remembered that, hurshy
got it hursh et. al
innit though?
i have a swell memory
MP.. no one forgets the odyssey!
so are you reading it in english or greek?
Halfway dinner time see yah poof

tr 7/32 please please
Do any of you want to know what
...M.P. stands for?
yes mp, what book?
Member of Parliament
tr7 an old ship that plied the mediterranean
M.P.'s not a book name, and no, hurshy. I bet you won't guess it. No, not that, either chj.
tr7.32 tr+3rd vowel + do ** + you and ** against the world
If you were talking about that.
I'm off to bed now. See you tomorrow, folks.
M.P. DOES stand for member of parliament, but i guess it could stand for Malevolent Pickle, or a host of other things
You can all guess ... oh, and it

stid... does that mean you have your power back?
why you so happy mama?
maximum piunishment
yippity skippity, pappa! HAve had power since 9 last night, and just decided to try cable. I guess they put it up while I wasn't looking!
power on?
Oh, Stid, was it awful without power? How long?
Nat -- have been without power or internet since last Thursday...
awesome stid! I'm glad for you! :-D
oh, M.P., are you a boy or a girl, i don't know if you mentioned before
hooray, for stid, welcome back to 2006 and not 1606
are the boys still alive? lol just kidding. what an awful mess to have to experience
electricity is overrated
I heard, everyone has been so worried about you
It wasn't as awful for us as for many, Scarlet, since we have a well-insulated house and a generator (primarily to run the well, but also helps with heat).
now i can die happy 8-)
i made it fireworks for me
YAY sheryl!
good job sheryl
whoo hoo sheryl
Some prayers ARE answered. So glad you are okay, and can laugh again!
ty lb
oh stid, while you were gone I crept on to the list of village elders. :)
haven't been able to finish most of the week, so happy about this one
really? how very wonderfully cool, pappa! *runs out to check*
hehehe, smooth is an old timer now!
job well done sheryl! it wasn't an easy grid, but not as bas as yesterdays
Hello stidmama! Glad to see you're ok.You have been missed! So are you going through Babble withdrawal?
check on the bottomo... I'm just barely on the list.
Hello Scarlet!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Very good, Sherylr, I know that feeling and it is irreplaceable. No, it isn't easy, but you DID IT!
hello Min! good to see you, too! How's the househunting? (and withdrawal doesn't begin to describe it... have also been cloistered with two antsy kids, home on vacation...)
Hell NaLT!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
well pappa! there you are, your name in lights! You do realize, though, that you now have a reputation to maintain! LOL
thnaks min, I am doing well, how are you this evening?
Stidmama - we just got back from Tacoma - early Christmas with Kahlua - some people without power till after Christmas - glad you are ok
Hi, Minveryork, ready to get to work!
Congratulations Sherylr1961 on fireworks!Good for U
okay, so if I drop off chat suddenly, I am booting Tom's computer because mine died. I think I left my power cord at the library...
thank Mayne -- is Kahlua okay? It was SO scary -- trees and branches falling everywhere... our home was untouched, but several others on our street are damaged and one is uninhabitable
stid... that's an easy one to maintain... I think. lol
stidmatt is online, btw, HEY KIDDO! are you babbling yet?
Hello MayneGirl! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
oops. he hollers back that his best friend in Tbilisi just sent him an email and he is too busy to say hi at the moment...'
anyone seen leslieann lately?
Kahlua is fine - very odd - storm passed right over Mayne Island - so we left warm, lighted house last Friday to go down to cold, dark house in Tacoma! But her power came on early Saturday morning. But Gig Harbor and area still without
so, who knows how to un-update one's copy of Mozilla Firefox? I updated it today and now the menus refuse to open
Hi MIn - so is everyone ready for Christmas!!!!!
mayne, stop with the pressure LOL
yes, Jill said they barely had a breeze on Salt Spring... glad Kahlua's power came on quickly! otherwise 'twould have been a cold visit!
Yes, this morning they said over 100,000 still without power in Western Washington
I'm taking a break from house hunting until after the holidays. I have so much to do for Christmas and not ready. I leave for Vermont for a week on Friday and will be w/out Babble for a week. I'll be going through withdrawal also stidmama! Not looking forward to it!
really hoping AprilD is okay -- don't suppose anyone's heard from her this week?
going skiing in vermont min?
Her hubby says first time he can remember in Tacoma losing power
oh Min -- perhaps you can invent an excuse to get to a library with internet? LOL
Broke down - bought an artificial tree today - small island - not organized (me) oh well!
I think you'll have a good time, though, Min -- Vermont must be lovely this time of year, though I doubt it looks as good as the picture postcards!
it would if I took my camera out there stid. ;)
We have an artificial tree and the only way you really know is that I can still breathe! *grin* allergies can be so inconvenient.
Hi all ---showing Glenn how I k
well, pappa -- you see that's why you are a pro and I an amateur: you can work magic with that gadget!
hi dilly! I guess you weathered the storm okay too?
Hey dilly - thought you were making dinner!
Gwen--that happened to me when Firefox updates for me. It was the firewall access issue--go into the security system to let it know that Firefox is OK
Not much snow there now. It's been extremely warm for December(50s).It's too warm to even make snow!
lol i don't think I can call myself a pro. I don't make nearly enough money at my photography to be considered a professional
hi Scrabbler! so a miracle happened and I am online FROM HOME!!!!
TG kids are older and not here till too late to complain! I'm going to love this little tree - no needles all over the house and NO watering
scrabbler, i don't use firewall software, i have a router. do you mean something windows does for my "benefit"?
Like I don't make enough at greeting cards to be called an artist? *grin* would just be happy someday to make back expenses, but the creative urge is too great.
Well, I am -- but not chewing gum, so can chat too.
Hi Stid--great news. It sounds like your storm was much like the one that hit here Oct 12-13---massive tree damage, power outages....
Can't fool me, dilly
lol completely understand stid
i have a tech prob that maybe someone knows about....i cant get the website icons to stay on my desktop...when i reboot they disappear for generic icons
yes -- only at least for us it wasn't out of season. yours really caught you-all by surprise.
and now i cant even drag them onto the desktop from the address bar
okay, I had best shut this box down and boot up Tom's before I lose all my data. back soon!
Hello dilly!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
chj, my guess is that you have your browser set to clear your cache when you reboot. Thus the icons get eaten.
oh chj - much sympathy - my computer just updated Internet Explorer and I don't like it!
Bye stidmama! I'll see you in the chat log soon I hope!
no idea chj.
Gwen, you may have MS Windows security--I went through this about 6 wks ago but I cannot remember the details exactly. I wish I could be there to help. I have a router and wireless system here too, but for me the problem was security not recognizing the updated Firefox
Bye stid - take care - watch those allergies!
my stid
i generally dont use ie....i use firefox
I think she is Tom's stid smooth_pappa, but that's ok!
Probly I will too - but I liked the old look - whine, snivel
Hi Min - ty ! am also making dinner, so not much puzzle solving!
chj, try checking your browser options, go to tools > options, and look for a cache command
"My Stid, my Stid, author, Babble extraordinaire...." --new song by Pappa
See dilly - two things at once, I don't think so! *such a cheeky girl*
scrabbler, TY, i will putz around with that in mind. I also updated IE today and while i only use it for one website, i can see why people are bitchy about it. bleachh
off to tweak my puter, see y'all tomorrow!
i'm so glad i didn't update my ie. from what everyone has said it's really poopy
night book
I stopped using IE in the summer and don't miss it at all. But the new MS Vista sounds like it will be similar to Firefox.
Good luck Gwen!
scrabbler, can you put me in touch with hodag?
Bye for now -- G,'s looking hungry.
i got the impression you had her email...?
bye dilly - look after G
bye dilly enjoy dinner
I don't know her e-mail. It was her grandson, mousey, that has been e-mailing me.
oh i just thought you'd said you talked to her about that, but i guess you meant in here.
Yes, in the chat.
i wouldnt know what a cache command was if i tripped over it
unless you mean "this is a stickup, give me all your cash"
LOL chj
aloha babblers!
hey fran!
Aloha Fran!
hi nat!
aloha fran
Hi Frannie
hey chj, lbd!
hey scrabbler i think i shall send YOU an email :)
Goodbye dilly! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log.
saw back in the log the problem you're having chj, sorry, can't help either.
what the heck is the re 7/40 after the re 6/27 that is the plural of to direct to ?
Hi FranMag!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
OK, hurshy--I will look forward to it.
hi min!
what is the prob CHJ? have you emailed doc about it? he's good at directions.
Hi Fran - Kahlua and hubby are going to be in your area end of Jan
MG, to cook in oil again
oh cool MG!
in Oahu?
its not a babble problem
a windows problem
firefox 2.0?
yes im using firefox 2.0
Whatever the latest Firefox is--I just got updated today too, buthad to "allow" it to work.
Maui, I think, Fran
but uts a desktop problem
NM--you are talking with chj.
et the icons to stay after a reboot
lbdawger- thank you!!
and this problem has existed since i got my new pewter several weeks ago
oh, too bad, they have that direct flight to maui now, people don't even stop in Oahu
only f's and one more s to go
that's what LeslieAnn did for her honeymoon too.
ok starbucks is closing here gotta go
I will check - would be cool for you two to meet!
fran have you seen her on lately?
later chj, hope you figure the problem out.
yes, please check MG
no i haven't nat (assume you're talking about LA)
yeah, her b-day is sunday
I haven't chatted with her in a long time, she sent me an email asking what I wanted for x-mas, but haven't seen her in a long time
shoot chj left
oh that's cool
i meant about her birthday
I figured
nat, do you guys live far apart?
HI all, 71 left and would like to finish
about 3 hours, she married my brother though
you can do it peri!!!
go peri go!
yes, i knew that, so are you guys getting together for her birthday? or is it not a milestone birthday
go peri!!
ee5/10 please
thanks for the encouragement, will need lots of clues though
spooky peri
Nm found it
no, she is going to be 26, and then her and Nick will come down here for x-mas the next day. I always make sure to get her separate b-day and x-mas gifts and wrap with b-day paper, even though she gets them all on x-mas
what a great sister-in-law!
thanks! I love her, so it's easy
i can tell nat! you guys are lucky to be good friends as well as sisters-in-law now..
you are a good sis in law Nat. birthdays are special, and being a christmas baby seems to always get second fiddle. i know, mine is a few days after christmas
Nick mentioned to me once that she used to feel a little left out at her birthday, so I try to make it special
Hello periwinkle! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
so if anyone sees her online on the 24th be sure to wish her a happy b-day
well, if she shows up in babble that day, I'll make sure to wish her a happy birthday.
lol, there go our great minds again fran
:-)
hey hursh, you still here?
semi-here :)
or anyone, can i get a clue for em7?
boards with which to file your nails
oh, duh, thanks!
good clue Hursh
that's what you meant by emeril last night!
i've honed it over the course of the day
i meant emeril lagasse, the chef
BAM!
That is usually spelled with a y. Is it spelled with two e's at the end or ie on the grid?I mean the em7 word.
yes, i knew that, but i didn't bother to look for a word around his name!
plural min
ie Min
it's plural, min, so...
i don't think that the time i mentioned emeril coincided with the time i found em7, actually, fran, lol
so i guess we did the same thing :)
hurshy--I e-mailed you back. We are thinking alike!
:-)
kay, good :)
going for some tea? anyone want a cuppa?
No thanks lbdawger! I have my D/C right next to me!
thanks lbd
Too late for fluids--I'll wet the bed.
ROFL scrabbler!
Me too, Fran. Laughing to the point of stress incontinence.
Does anyone have a clue for the em 5/12 word please
111 words to go--where are they hiding?
eep, after two kids delivered the old-fashioned way scrabbler, i feel for you!
Alternate spelling for Mid east amir
yeah, I have 119, no idea
I am plodding along 63 left here
Go Peri, go!
last le4/4 , please don't hit me with any fish
le 4/4 is le + snake letter plus cross letter periwinkle.
Incoming!!! Looks like a haddock!
Here is my dilemma for tomorrow. I'm taking off from work to get Christmas stuff done. But my husband is gone which means I can babble freely all day without his complaints.What do I do? Just tempted to babble!
oooh, tough one
If the grid is small then it will all work out!
min, you should use babble as your reward for getting the christmas stuff done
sheesh,, thanks min, yikes that was a big fish, scrabbbler :)
babble early, go out for a while, come back and babble?
babble babble babble
an incentive to get done very, very quickly
babble of course, Min
I like hurshy's answer the best! I hate shopping and l love babbling! But Fran's answer is the most logical! I hope it's very small grid tomorrow! Thanks for advice
shop online - much faster and easier
although it is a little late now...
li5/12 please
not if you shop at Amazon and get express shipping
nah just print out pictures of what you got for everyone
i don't think i bought a single christmas gift in an actual store this year
there you go nat! great idea

i just did mine today for direct delivery, at least they'll be in transit if not there in time, a real feat for me!
yw peri!
At least you got those B's done, peri.
Last year I did not know about Babble yet. I actually had my priorities straight! I have to say that Babble has certainly changed my life in more ways than one!
thats true Scrabbler
we'll drink a cup of kindness yet for auld lang babble

Night scrabbler. Hi Matt
Hi stidmatt! Did you get my Christmas card yet?
Goodbye Scrabbler!I will see you tomorrow in the log!
R-O-L-A-I-D-S
No, not yet, hopefully soon.
Hi stidmatt!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
normally i hate spelling out words in the chat, but...
menus won't open cuz the theme (skin) is incompatible with new version. (!)
oh geesh, sorry
Yes, Gwen--I think I found the solution there. Have you fixed things?
you need the mexican bean word
Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you? Welcome back!
you fixed your problem gwen?
oh, hell, did i just miss scrabbler? oh there you are 8-)

Hello capemaggie! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
I think it is time to get lickety
(grumble grumble)
I am using the naio skin, or something like that.
so, who needs a clue or 3?
Changes cause problems, Gwen, don't they?
OK, off to bed with Mr REM.
Thanks for the help. Payback time. I'm up for a few more minutes. May I help?
the skin i liked was called "metal lion - brushed ice" and it had very small Personal Menu Bar icons, which is why i liked it
hi gramma
Howdy

g'nite, scrabbler, sweet dreams
Nite StidScrabbler

You can do it!

good night cousin!
hi stid! glad you guys are okay
Hi stidmama!
thanks Fran (so are we, unfortunately many folks weren't as lucky)! good to be back.
tr 7/32 word for 3 + **turn a library book before due date + not you but ** pbr.I hope that was better clue
Hi kiddo -- I see you've made yourself to home. Has he been behaving himself, folks? ;-)
hi stidmatt, didn't see you come in

See you all on the flip!

bye gramma!
Matt has been very quiet Stid.
thanks lbd! hoping he is working hard and getting lots of words.
he's your kid, he's probably done! lol
puts me to shame sometimes...
night gramma
down to one finally -- the se5/12
i doubt that Stid. he's a great reflection of you and Tom.
abbrev of 9th month plural pbr
careful lbd, this chat room won't be big enough if my head swells! *grin*
Just put the noodles into the soup and it splashed!
g pbr go!
that's a plural for Latin 7, pbr...
(and he can cook too)
geez-- thought I had tried that --- done, doing the fireworks. time to go home!
swollen heads and popping buttons, easy to dodge!
whoo hoo PBR!
WTG PBR!
YAY pbr! see you tomorrow if the power holds out!
ahh, and does he clean and do ovens?
will be leaving for England Friday-- so hopefully I'll be doing the grid from there for a week.... I am sure jet lag will help
Goodbye gramma! I will see you tomorrow in the chat
well, he cleans a bit (when prompted) and is hard worker (when motivated) -- just like me!
Congratulations pbr on your fireworks! Good for you
what fun, pbr! are you going to get to meet any UK babblers?
send him on over Stid! i'll gladly adopt him or put him into serfdom! lol
safe travels PBR
(serfdom sounds about right) you got it lbd, you want him UPS or parcel post? LOL
I don't really want to be a serf.
how about a smurf?
you-all should hear the sounds coming from the kid's room! ROFL
stid!!! you're okay!!
shhh, Matt, it's the only way she'll let you come out here.
firefly! yes!!!!! got power last night, internet late this afternoon.
we were SO lucky -- one house on our street had five trees down -- three on the house, two on the power lines...
I'm a gramma and let me tell you spoilin' is my game! lol
i have been so worried - it sounds so awful on the west side :(
Does anyone have a clue for the re 5/10 word please
oh that's terrible stid!
Actually, I need the first re 5/10 word if you have it.
made the candles glow again
I think it is pretty bad, but getting better daily. I put four pics up at my blogspot page if you're interested. I'll put it in my profile again. just a sec.
first is a pl
Hi firefly779!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Minver - plural of fishing rod re**
second is ms. witherspoon change last letter to cons.
Though, I will travel a bit to the Country of Georgia first, then back to VICTORIA, and while going to Germany. Those are on my list.
yay! done!
okay profile updated.
ahh, I can't convince you to come visit Montana matt?
how about you, firefly? It sounded like your side of the mtns wasn't so bad -- just cold
YAY Fran!
WTG Fran !!!!!!!
fiiiiiiiiiive gooooooooooolden riiiiiiiiiiiiiings
whoo hoo Frannie~!
Oh, I have that one already. I need the 3rd re 5/10.
he might like Montana -- the dinosaur museum of the rockies, etc
the third one is the one i said in the first place
I was the one with the camera on that trip.
Congratulations FranMag on your fireworks! Hooray!
Min -- is that the what you did to the candle after the flame blew out?
stid - yep, very cold, not much else - a little icy at times, and a thick frost the other day (tues)
I would like the west. It is very pretty.
I guess.
Never been there!
Matt, that's in Bozeman, I know Jack Horner personally
*brrrr* I don't like cold. Your side gets way colder and because it's so dry usually to me it seems more "brittle" if that makes any sense
Cool!
What's wrong with me?! I need the 2nd re5/10 please
thanks guys
evening!
hey feather!
just peeking in. not touching this one, too big, too late.

thanks firefly, min!
owl - glad you;e here since i never copied the email
Our dogs are STUPID! One bumped into Stidmama and made her hurt her neck, and the other one kept on barking incessintly. I had to roll her over to get her to shut up. Then she gave me the look.
Darn! I did it again! Asked for the wrong clue. I need the second re6/18 word please.Thanks for the clues!
hi dorens!

Bye feather!
night feather! dorens, give me a while, my home system is veryu slow. i will load it again

Goodbye featherbee! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!
Hi Dorens!
Min, like the plop plop fizz fizz, but change last letter to hook letter
night feather
hi all
I am listening to In the Hall of the Mountain King right now on a Peer Gynt CD. It is beautiful! Oh, Rape of the Bride now!
hi Dorens
Thank you for the re clues! Finished my re words now
I'm not familiar with Hall of the Mountain King.
My goal tonite is 200 words. There's no way I'll finish!
You can find it at http://www.answers.com/topic/in-the-ha ll-of-the-mountain-king
it makes me think of "in the court of the crimson king"
believe me most people have heard this song -
i've bookmarked it so i can hear it later, when i'm more awake...must get ready for bed. i'm yawning hard enough to pop my jaws.
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
nightm, dawg!
I got my recording from Naxos, it has all of Peer Gynt Suites #1 and #2, Holberg Suite, 3 pieces from Sigurd Jorsalfar, and Wedding Day at Troldhaugen.

Hi everybody. This is a lot easier grid than yesterdays, isn't it?
Does stidmatt listen to this music or is this stidmama?
Stidmatt; you listen to Perr Gynt? Cool! :D
Sorry! First I ask for the wrong clues, then I type in the wrong box!I think I should quit before 200 words
hello
Edvard Grieg lived in Bergen, Norway. It is on the west coast on (take out atlas) same latitude as Shetland Islands.
I listen to this! Hi Nef!
hi harp! hi nef! hi dorens!
I also don't care for anything that is pretty much later then Jazz.
Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
stidmatt has an old soul i think.
what is later than jazz? it's still happening? (hi fran)
and has been exposed to good music
It is, I just don't listen to more modern music then the beginnings of Jazz. Louis Armstrong is my favorite.
I grew up listenig to In the Hall of the Mountain King on a 78 record on the big old phonograph as a kid! :)
eg, music I don't listen to; rap, hip-hop, rock, blues.
Cool!
for a while, I had that as my cell phone ring (until I lost the cell phone; the new one isn't programed for that though)
i listen to everything, there are good examples of all kinds of music in my opinion
shucks!
brb, going to put rice to cook
Interesting Fran, that is a good way to do it!
Go go cook your rice! Hope you cook it tasty and nice!
you like Louis Armstrong? My daughter got so excited one day when she heard Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole's "duet" "Unforgettable" She thought he was a NEW singer
Oh man! That means she watches really old, listens to, recordings! That's cool!
I have him on my new MP3.
lol nef, i can imagine her surprise when you told her that not only was he not new, but he was dead when that duet came out!
I listen to all sorts of music too. We had music all around us when I was a kid growing up. I was raised by an Aunt and Uncle; and my Uncle had an old time dance orchestra; he played all around north western Minnesota nearly every weekend
Nef, tell your daughter to listen to Æ’reddy cole...nat's brother...still recording and sounds terrific (i saw him last year at a local jazzclub)
that was supposed to be Freddy.sorry
hi everyone. I'm stuck for my very last word, the re7/40.
A little while ago I would play my trumpet to Louis Armstrong to CD I have.
time to go wrap gifts for tomorrow... goodnight all
true, Fran; she was pretty upset when I told her that he was dead. But she has since loaded a bunch of his music into her iPod
It is now digitized on my MP3!
Hi Eva!
hi eva, what you do to beans for mexican dishes
Dorens; you say Reddy Cole? I've never heard of him
Goodbye Dorens! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!
night dorens!
thanks fran!!
Dinner! I'll be back in 10 to 30 minutes!
Hello Eva!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
You play trumpet, Matt? My older sister (and my Uncle) played trumpet; I got stuck on the clarinet!
nef, she corrected it, she meant to say Freddy Cole
bye matt!
yay EVA!!!!!
Goodbye stidmatt! Maybe I will see you later tonight!
just couldn't see that sneaky pattern, coming from the lower r
thanks Fran. Now Freddy Cole I've heard of. :)
eva, most of the words today i just typed in, i have no idea how they appear in the grid! :-)
can anybody help me on the si6/18; the second one...please?
erda, the second si6/18 is just like the si5/10 before it, but the middle consonant is doubled
it's an alt spelling
yes si6/18 bob!
thank you, thank you, thank you! (lol Fran)
hi again. My neck is on ice and Tom is home. Darn dogs. oh well...
yw erda!
One more please: th5/18
erda, like a th*** in the night
what happened Stidmama? Why did the dog knock you over?
that one took me a while to see too!
ow stid, are you okay?
hi stid!!! i haven't been on in a couple of days. we were all worried about you and the storm. is everything okay?
I was trying to get a toy out from under the sofa... and he was trying to prevent the other dog from getting it. And I was just in the way...
I will be okay, just going to hang out for a while.
thanks Dispatch -- we are fine, just were without power or internet for a bit.
Our house is untouched, but many of our neighbors will have to do some touchup of paint...
were you warm enough? That is what I kept worrying about is that there were a million people without heat
sorry to hear about the "dog fight"..but glad you survived the storm!
Well, we have a generator, so we were keeping warm.
And we also could run the stove.
we were warm "enough" Nef, we have a generator hard-lined into our propane tank for the well, so I ran it every few hours for the pump and the furnace.
le 7/28 and le 8/40..pls
LOL -- or I could let my elder child speak for me...
maybe he types faster because he doesn't have a sore neck! :)
hee hee!
That's possible!
where was stidmatt when you got between the dogs!!!???
gramma, le7/28, more of a lecherous look
fdsafg
laughing histarically!
oops -- Lucky wanted to enter a word, but put it in the wrong box...
*pads quietly in from the back* POUNCE!!! {{*Stidmama*}}
I was eating my dinner.
About time I got to turn the tables ;-D
Hi Dispatch! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
*wince* hi Woulf, *pat pat* nice puppy! *rubs neck*
hi Grey Woulf!
le8/40 is the superlative version of the le7/28
guess I am a magnet for large furry creatures today! LOL
hi wolf!
hi min. thank you. i've missed babbling for a few days
hi woulf
where were you, Dispatch?
Hey stidmatt -- just finished scrolling back -- I love your taste in music
gramma, did you get those clues or do you need another one?
howdy Fran
Thanks!
hi woulfie
and dispatch and Min and Templeand everyone else :-)
Some would call me a nerd at school. That is a good term, but not the way they would use it.
{{{TO}}} hi! have you been here long?
Hello GreyWoulf!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
rofl, stidmatt is listening to peer gynt, my iTunes was just on "Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred.
Good evening all
i came in just as youleft, stid - glad to see you back
no no, you are a geek not a nerd, matt -- being a geek has become acceptable, being nerdy is kinda borderline
hi TO, i don't think i saw you come in!
I need another PE from the bottom... I have pe 4/6... what am I looking for please?
hi nonnie
hi fran! struggling to finish - past my bedtime
thanks TO, glad to be seen! how's the weather for you?
hi nonnie!
stid, it's ph4/6
warm
one of those words that should be a prefix
got the clues..thnx
hello Dispatch and Stidmama
Well, at my school, we use nerd as to mean that you are really, very, smart.
hi nonnie!
hi Fran
how's the pack, woulf?
Hi nonnie!
well then you must be a nerd stidmatt
Evening, babblers
hi stidmatt!
it is way too warm around here, stidmama -- the only way we will have a white Yule will be if someones snowmaking machine explodes
thanks Fran *thinking*
hello mrwrite
got it!
I have my first gray row! LOL
Hi mrwrite!
hello mrwrite!
hi mrwrite
hi mrwrite! where have you been all my life?
WTG mama!
oh wait, it's mr. right i was looking for
The pack are doing well, TO -- tho Kristianna is getting a bit too rebellious for her own good these days
oh Woulf, I am sorry to hear that! Min was saying Vermont is having temps in the 50s, too -- doesn't seem right, does it?
Im in ur book, writin ur bio. (-:
GW, that's a 3-year old thing for sure, my son thinks he's the boss of all of us
Question? why are stidmatt & stidmama's little people purple and the rest of ours are either pink or blue?
Hello NonnieLight!How are you? Welcome to the grid!
because they didn't fill in the gender part of their profile
*brandishes silver corss, rabbit's foot, cornu and evcery other charm she can think of* no white christmas
Hi Minveryork! Great and you?
*grin* because I don't like pepto pink -- deselect gender on the profile page to join the androgynous ones...
hate shoveling....
ah, I see...thank you Fran
matt-- in my school, oh so many years ago, being a nerd was a term for being too smart for the norms to accept while being socially awkward at the same time
lol mama :o)
phantom words: slither
Hi all, late start today, any clues for em5/12 please
a geek is technically someone who is overly fond of technology
your definition still applies, woulf!
hi flosey!
flosey, it's an alt spelling of the Eastern monarch
em 5: middle eastern ruler?
while a nerd is socially inept
usually has an i in it
thanks Fran, will have to work with that
interesting!
yes, that one I know
Hello flosey! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
geekly nerds run in our family... *adjusts glasses and checks to be sure pocket protector is working*
th4/5 either after or befor ethe ooposite of "that" ty
got it, thanks Fran
good thanks Min, and you?
TO, change the last letter to another consonant
geek has transformed recently thanks to the growing acceptance of Roleplaying games (like Dungeons & Dragons) -- it pretty much means a young (at heart if nothing else) person who is nerdy but possesses the selfconfidence to ignore the norms and choose to stand out from them
I believe I'm going to slither on into bed soon! I have almost reached my goal. I hope tomorrow's is smaller!
You don't have glasses! (he says while he adjusts his real glasses.
I think another term that would work as a def would be - a socially accepted eccentric
yw flosey
I do so! Just don't wear them unless I am doing a lot of up-close work!
now the em7/32 please
ty fran!
I am almost to halfway...
at least it's not the old definition of carnival sideshow performer!
good night min
good night, min! se you tomorrow
Does anybody have a clue for the le 7/32 word please
well, I only need 38 more words...
Time for the one, best, and only, OXFORD duh duh duh duuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh....
flosey, plural of the boards that you use to file your nales
i just started...so my goal tonight is just half way
*nails
true Fran, though that def still applies to the now rare and almost extinct pencil necked variety
I wear glasses, but I am definitely not a nerd! I don't even qualify to be a semi-nerd! I am totally nerdless!
min, look for the le7 at your le7
ah, thanks Fran
lol wolfie!
no. 1 A person, a fellow, esp. one who is regarded as foolish, offensive, worthless, etc.... YEAH RIGHT!
Min - by being a Babbleonian, you are a nerd by association
I am so close, just need three more words. Then I am halfway and will hit the list. Though tonight I am just glad to be back :-) and finishing would be only the icing on the cake
b is worthless, but... c. A person who is extremely devoted to and knowledgeable about computers or related technology. That is the one we use all the time.
stid, you better have the lone i in the middle
I hit the list when I was half-way through this puzzle.
who was it yesterday that was so glad to see the "b"? wish she were here!
being an avid gardener and all.
any clues for fe6/27 please
yes Fran, saw that one pretty quickly (though it was an accident, not a deliberate find)
flosey, think of a small, weasel-like animal and then change the last letter to an L.
that's the second fe6/27 I need
2nd bu 6/27
Fe 6/27 is very similiar to a Babbler's name faerieke
go phand go!
good for you stid, that one took me a while, probably because it went left
Flosey - like Tinkerbell but change first vowel
flosey, that's the 2nd one i clued
hm. are you p-handmd? I never can figure out how to abbreviate your name!
They have nine modifications of the word! *dom *ed *fest *hood *iness *ish *ishness *sville and *y
thanks Fran, working on it
phand works...
hi phand!
so any clues for 2nd bu 6?
*grin* stidmatt demonstrating the appropriateness of the moniker we were discussing...
Hi Fran
phand, 2nd bu6 is what a dog does with a bone, bu6 it
ha-ha! halfway and going to find Lickety... back soon.
phand - more involved
Hi phandmd! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

hi MG!
Flosey - did you get the fe6/27 yet? The one like Tinkerbell?

MG, i think she had that one, it was the 2nd one she needed
no, still working on it
hi Fran - stalling before attacking - I mean decorating the tree - :)

Yes, thnx Fran
does the em 7 build off the em 6?
last me6/21 is plural of me5/12 that is a mottled color on some dogs.
Flosey - the second fe6/27 rhymes with what the Skeena Queen is
kind of looks like ms. streeps first name
no phand
Fran, how do you spell that, cuz I can't get that one
em7 is plural of board used to shape nails
fe 6/27 is fe plus vowel plus Little House on the Pra***
me5/12, me + cu** your hair (or toes) + another vowel (the one that we have lots of)
thnx for the em fran, not getting that cu* part of your me clue

I think the admins thought they were going to show us the evils of the wacky weed but unfortunately it backfired on them.
There will be a me 5/12 if I allow only you to have some
good clue, ren, was puzzled how to tell that one!

No, I haven't looked at teh list.
Yay the m's are grey

Yippee Woulf! what letter now?
the only one mentioned so far that i don't have is ren's clue...but i didn't get it because i don't watch star trek and i don't know what spock does to our minds
br 7/48...lesser of boxer shorts
I'll jump to T -- only 5 left there
I have all the ones clued so far.
woulf...i though you were going to share??? I had the awards ones...so what ones did you just find?
I'm sure the one I'm missing has to do with a fish.
