Nuts! Got here just in time to be snubbed! Evening Stid and woulf
{{{TEA}}} I got your email! did you get mine?
Hi Hoot
hi faerie -- you were so close!
Theres hardly any vowels!
wow! This is another toughy just looking at the grid!
hi hootowl! wow -- so nice to see you again!
gotta get those 6s...
Hiya Stid :)
I did, I just have not had a chance to reply and here you are! I just sat down at the pooter.
hi hoot!!
late flip!
LeslieAnn! NatLT was on earlier! she spilled the beans on your birthday!
i'm with you stid! my eldest son was to start is 2nd co-op rotation after the 1st of January. His boss called and said that if starts now, he'll get 2 days paid for Christmas and 2 days paid off for New Years!!! At $16.50 per hour for a college freshman not bad! And i've been mothering for 19 years and no one offered me that deal!!!!
what about my birthday??
Yep. We got power last night, and internet back this afternoon. how's life as a working mother?
Once in a while. Just going crazy trying to fit everything in the house AND get ready for xmas AND fight the worse cold I've had in 30 yrs! So how are you?
when it is, and to remember to ambush you and embarrass you when you're in the log! :-)
hoot AND gw? what a treat@
excuse me...correction..he is a sophomore. but enough of that...i'm diving into the grid
yay!
I'm glad all is well with you stid!
AND I may be losing my cmp after waiting a whole year to get it back!
flip a bit late
Hi Jill
oh hoot, sorry to hear about the cold -- and the computer! what a bummer!
Later Dispatch! see you tomorrow, I hope!
beautiful icon Jill
hoot -- we just got over various colds and sinus infections here as well
hey Jill! I finished the last grid! (with a LOT of help, of course)
why lose the computer?
flosey, that is a lovely stonehenge you've got there!
Story of my life - all on or all off. I'm still hoping on the cmp. Scandisk has been running for 30 hrs and is only half way thru!
thanks stid
te6 lol
Pfui! Buddy boy just woke up -- I will check back after he is back asleep

that is a glorious song, Jill! Will read it to the boys tomorrow!
oh great, stid! And give them a couple of big hugs from me -- such great guys
very nice, Jill :)
c 5/18
of course, Jill -- you missed it, but our dear babbler "riemann" will come visit tomorrow and spend a couple days... we are looking forward to seeing him!
nice christmas critter, nonnie
Thanks, Leslie :)
stid, sing it to them (Greensleeves)
I'll even finish stringing the guitar for the occasion, Jill! Incentive helps get little tasks done!

arch

no sympathy for hurshy! *look of awe*
sorry!
ah thanks tnc
you know, he probably could.... thanks tea!
I'm back - it means the dryer makes this godawful bleating noise when the cycle finishes! And it will repeat if I don't do it right away!
sorry -- haven't paid any attention to the grid yet!
you got that other 6, hursh? te and...
ahh, thought maybe you had sheep in the house
nope that is one of my 5 left
Stid I truly love my new job.....it is exactly what I wanted and what I needed and I LOVE my clients/patients
it is either C, E, H, or N
OK, this is the fewest vowels i've ever seen - 5 1/2
flosey -- your choice of icon is SO beautiful!
I am very happy for you Faerie! If only we could all find employment that feeds our souls as well as our stomachs!
Sheep would be quieter! So how is everyone? Haven't had time to keep up.
hi melon! boker something... or just shalom?
thanks jilli
Amen Stid - I honestly couldn't be happier right now :)
not a c hursh
k
not a k either
ah yes
Faerie, is this your third week now?
;)
ok 3 to go
oh wow hurshy, you're amazing
This may be a small grid but I think it might be ha4/6
Nonnie yes it is and it's better than I ever extected
expected
I'm so glad you're enjoying it--makes all the difference in the world@
but not ha4/6 for hurshy, of course
well, we're a ha*** lot, and I am sure we will ALL vanquish this one!
right jilli
phantom - trench
not H
thanks, stid
Nonnie you have a fantastic memory :-D
ec
Back again -- he got turned around in the crib and was trapped
oh -- poor wee one! good thing daddy was there to save him!
done.
woot - a five letter word!
I wish, Faerie--I have to write notes about my notes.
congrats hursh!
hi again woulf, nice short one today

Well done hurshy

WOWEE, hurshy!!!
YAY hurshy!!!!!
Congratulations Hurshy!!!!
holy crud - wtg hurshy!
wtg hursh
i dunno
and how will he repay me? He will wake me up in 4 or 5 hours screamin until I feed him again
gogogo stid, but don't go!
WOW--hursh! Is that a record or sumpin?
i'd post a list on babanon but i can't get it to let me log in
babs, hurshy has a brain twice the size of most humans
i had that problem too, hursh
i dunno
Licketys list is up now
and that's halfway for me. I am so glad to see you all again. {{hoot}} I hope you feel better AND get to keep your computer. I'll be back online tomorrow at some point... *poof*
clues are up!
any brain transplants, Hursh?
Good Night Stid
bye stid
(((((MrP)))))
night mama, take care
I think hurshy had better post a pic of herself -- maybe she looks like an ET!
good show stid
Farewell, stid -- see you soon!
i have achieved the dream - finishing before lickety's clues go up
bye stid
nite stid - I'll be here somewhere
Whee stid! Come back tomorrow and sleep warmly and well
when it was just brandyjack it was more doable but lickety's go up so fast...
got a 6!
huzzah melon
wtg melon
wtg melon
I have 5 4s - VBG
speaking of brain transplants remember when joey's character had one on DOOL and ross was like "a brain transplant?!?!" and joey was like, "i thought you were a scientist!"
I'm really too tired to see words but enjoy your company, gang
got a 6 trying to figure out the corner 4
it's a nice way to relax eh jilli
corner r
right, flosey
there isn't any r in the corner...
I should probably type the e and f before I get it right just to cover all of the bases and surround it
just what I was going to say, hursh
ach, thundering outside!
there isn't any F at all...
well, i need my rest - stopping @ 29, and just one 6 letter. laila tov, all.
oo - greyed a tile!
i am so confuzzled by the good dr.
nice one jilli. good night melon
bye melon
night, melon
wheee, jilli - which one?
leslie, your icon?
giggle -- the Y
I'm off to bed also. Night all :)
what about it? i think it's left over from christmas ornament icon day
good night faerie
this is odd, two of the te words that end in "y" aren't words when the Y is dropped - even tho I think they ought to be {harrumph}
bye Faerie, have a good day tomorrow
Cat just jumped up on my desk, first time he's ever done that - never gets onto anything!!!
hehehe, jilli - {poof}
Oh, I was wondering if they were handpainted ornaments or container's of some sort
he probably wants to say hi to us, flosey
Jilli - I greyed 3 - all one worders!
oh i don't know nonnie, just looked on google images for something
Hey Everyone, Did MrP tell you clues where up?
oh flosey, thou art a braggart!
yup, but thanks for the reminder ;)
yes she did, Lickety -- thanks
No, dear Lickety!! Thanks!
lol but there's one that's really difficult, can

I've never gone to bed with fireworks before. This will be something diferent.
Hot stuff, Dr B!!!
I have this nice fire going and I'm done already. Isn't that always the case?
kudos to you, drb; I usually don't go to bed until I have fireworks, which wreaks havoc on my sleep schedule.
huzzah! fireworks for me.
yay leslie!
I was tempted to do that once, but I like to unwind for an hour with this and then use it to break up the monotony of grading
Hooray for LAnn
but now that the semester is over so much for that
holy majoles this is the smallest grid i've ever seen!
well, I have the middle column greyed
Yeah, we had more C's the other night than this entire grid
You go, jillibus!
lol DrB
kier, there was a 40-something one a while ago
i have my whole head grayed
yeah, funny, DrB!
I remember a 31 grid
A small one would be nice on Monday so we don't have to be dragged away to open presents
yeah, i remember a 31 or 32 word grid
wow, 31. crazy!
(war stories)
all right, bed for me. good night folks!
I think you and I were the first finishers on that one, LA
i remember back in the summer of 06... i'll never forget the day the grid stood still
there was one vowel, a y, in the corner
luckily hurshy wasn't on vacation then!
G'night LA -- see you again soon
that 'y' went both ways, know what i'm saying?
howcum, kier? I wasn't here then
*poof*
oh jilibus, i'm just being dorky and pretending to reminiscie with babble war stories
Night, LA
LET IT BE THE HYDROCODONE SPEAKING AND NOT THE TUMOR THAT IS LODGED IN MY FOREHEAD
lol, kier
Can I get another clue for the te6? Can't find (easily irritated)
although that would be an interesting conversation
this tumor just says 'throb throb throb pound pound pound'
t + e4 + letter
vietnam offensive + the beginning 2 and last 1 of the tree GW chopped down
no wonder i never finish these damn puzzles!
thanks, DrB
ty

np
The grid was 60% 4-letter words, so it played to my strength tonight...

i kept trying to get an explorer
lol, erda!
Okay, so long until tomorrow. Same Babble Time. Same Babble Channel.

Oops. That should say 6 words to go. (I'm typing in the dark, and can't always see what's going on here). :D
what do you need HereBe
Hi lain - almost midnight here
Well, the question I have is how you know the word scores of the missing letters. I thought it had something to do with being a paid member, so I went and joined . . . but everything still looks the same. Am I missing something?
I mean, the word scores of the missing WORDS.
at the bottom of the grid you
*facepalm*

Bye everyone - see you tomoorow
bye linxxx
bye lynxxx
bye lynxxx
When you use Lickety's clues you need to type the words in both places as they don't appear automically in both.
Oh . . . YAY! I found it. Thanks, Flosey!
yw, enjoy
Cool. I will give that a try, and see if I can't figure out the missing words on my own. But chances are I'll be back soon for clues. :D
bye lynxxx

YAY! I just found my missing ag.

Wonderful!
lol rolin!
nah, you're not, rolin :) Never grumpy!
Fran, any clues for that N 5/20, thanks

awesome rolin! have fun
girl...it sounss like the ne5/12 before it
*slips silently into rolin's bag-on-wheels*
duh, how could i forget that one!
np sprite.. just dont throw the toilet paper outa my bag to get in tho
thanks rolin
*hides inside the toilet paper roll*
that is SOME toilet paper roll :D
nope, rolin, utterly blind
GF, ne5/20 is a mild expletive that supposedly is derived from the phrase "oh nuts", let the points guide you
oooohhh very nifty...but youd better remember to get out before i need to use it...eeeewwww...did i say that???..lol
LOL
GF, it usually ends with an S
ah, thanks, was going the wrong way around the grid with that one.
ok..i really should try to knock this marking over today...so i can go on holiday and rest...cya all later...
last one...TE 5/14 the first one...

t+unit of force+ vowel
and Im done. thanks for the last two...group!
yay GF!
wtg girlf!
ata, did you finish?
sorry guys, I'm still not getting the ne5/20. Is the word a US one?
i think so sparkly
sparkly, take a word to measure sound in and change the first letter.
sparkly, it rhymes with a car rental company
that is a MUCH better clue
got it! thanks sprite and fran!
funny thing was we were talking about the same word sprite!
indeed :D The magic still works, grinnn
okay, i have ha4 and ha5, what am i missing?
indeed sprite! :-)
there's a hy5 but I don't have it yet
oh nvm
fireworks!!!
just got it
fireworks
wd fran!
wtg Fran!
and seano!
yay seano!!
darn sparkly, i wanted to clue it
lol
that had to be ata's last word too, where did she disappear to?
fireworks...not even out of bed yet ;-)
lol Fran - animal that is like housecleaning: once you chop of one head, 10 grow back?
am here!
that's a great clue sprite!
just contemplating the dreaded task in front of me today
congrats on finishing ata! it was my last word too.
wtg Ata! What is the dreaded task for today?
more knotwork?
but that can't be dreaded, can it?
If Ata dreads it, it cannot be drawing.
LOL Fran! Once again :)
oh it is! colouring the Knotwork From Hell.
very dreaded!
i think half my brain is living in Denmark.
I mean the Netherlands
You will love it, Ata, I just know. Once you get into the right trance...
I have to make a Big Decision though
Watercolour or Pencil
pencil
there, that was easy. :-)
:)
I'll look better in watercolour IF I get it right. But that's not guaranteed, and this is too big and too good to ruin.
so pencil would be more forgiving, but not as nice (in your opinion)
so basically, you have to choose between taking the safe way out of fear, or trusting your talent and dexterity and make a real work of art? In that case: watercolour.
yes .....
but I'm really not very dextrous when it comes to watercolour LOL I'm still learning
conquer your fears ata! you can do the watercolor...and you won't make any mistakes.
well, I suppose I can always start again if I screw it up
grin - go follow your bliss, Ata. The safe way out of fear will never fulfill your bliss!
though the pencil outlining took THREE DAYS *cries*
and you enjoyed every minute of it - even if you nagged about it
darn - am I starting to sound motherly again??? *shuts up*
I did :D
yup, but its true!
ata, i say if the watercolor will do justice to your three days of laboring over the outline, then do the watercolor.
watercolour is either kill or cure LOL itll either be fabulous or a disaster :P
It will be fabulous, I know!
hopefully :)
done at last! :)
yay sparkly!!
wtg sparkly!
yay sparkly!
ata, your disaster will probably still be fabulous! ;-)
ha ha ha, well I do have a bit of an escape route, I've got to outline in black at the end, and I'm NOT doing that in paint, so I can tidy away any little slips then :)
okay, i may be able to get to sleep before midnight, so i'll see all you wonderful people tomorrow.
Bye Fran, enjoyed chatting with you, dear mindmate :)
bye dear!
:-)
sounds great, Ata!
I'll tell you if it is in about a week!
yes, please do! I'd love to see it finished!
so would I!
grinnnnnnn
bye everyone, am going to visit my friend and her new baby :D
ow sparkly, enjoy!
this is where I'm really grateful for babble, cos I can keep the window open and read / write in the chat as momentary breaks away from the paint
multitasking superwoman :)
my brain doesn't like doing one thing at once! never has!
Awwww, it's a baby grid today.
my brain doesn't like doing one thing at all, usually :)
it is, turtle :( And not a tough one either.
it has a few nice words though :)
that is true!
I was kind of hoping for a tough one. Have nothing to do tomorrow now that the semester is over.
sudoku!
hop over here and I will keep you busy till the next week :)
ooooooh sudoku!
ok. tissues - check. water - check. array of brushes - check. panic button - check. GO!
yeah Ata!
so now I might be quiet :)
feel free to ignore everything ;)
erm... have i missed something here? lol
You were hoping for a touch one, snppngirlie? This IS a tough one. I've ony found eight words!
Ah hydra, and that while you are living in it!
hi hy5/18!
Sometimes these little ones are brutal.
It's so cold my brain has frozen.
Hi Atalante. I'm not even going to try adding up your word score!
but I'm not in the grid!
Yes Ata, you are, but not valid, grin
ooooooooooo! true!
good morning everybody:) just a quick visit today
I am being chased by a phantom cherry
hi jean :)
oh good, a little grid
go for it, jean, you can finish this one during that short visit
Hi jean
Hi Krys *hug*
hey sprite!
yes it is a short grid sprite but I feel so guilty have loads to do lol
ah, guilt! Don't talk to me about guilt LOL
hands up all those who have a long list of jobs to do but prefer to babble
lol with me it doesnt last long lol I will just feel bad if we get to christmas day and I havent got all the presents lol
*raises two hands*
me mummy lol
phantom: hardhat
also hazmat
I am frustrated no end by not having 'edge' and all related ones.
and nectar, of course.
yes, so close!
be back in a bit - quick shower and then bed
bye Krys :)
that made no sense: quick shower and then I'm bringing the laptop to bed
*very big grin*
morning all - nice short grid today... how's it looking so far?
morning denny:)
Short and sweet, denny.
back!
well, that WAS fast, Krys :)
incidentally, for those of you who were helping me plan my christmas vacation to europe last month:
we are staying in a hotel near heathrow christmas day and we're seeing about a visit to stonehenge on the 25th
then on to brussels etc
And when do you come by at my home?
we actually talked today about amsterdam, but i think it will have to wait 'til next visit, sadly
otherwise you know i'd want to visit!
dhbsdgdb/;l;'fbfgdhsdhshagndfnzbsnsbs
Too bad! But it sounds like a great holiday, Krys!
i'm starting to get excited about it.
That sounds like a lot of fun krys.
harr
oops 'scuse me
ah, that is a good sign. Make sure you take pics :)
absolutely! I just got a 1 GB card for my poor outdated camera
it seems like "thray" should be a word
ah great, hope you will share some of the beauties. Always like your pics.
I am getting absolutely nowhere with the 6s. I must have a particular blind spot today.
me too sprite!
monjkey fingers doing all the work today!
oh my goodness i just noticed that sixers are all we get today!
yeah, almost done and still missing ALL the BIGGIES ;)
all two of them!
Ah Denny... what a lovely icon! They are adorable :)
all two SIXES even
and now I want 'arrgh'
thx sprite - need to update it but not got any decent photos recently - they won't sit still long enough!!! wait till after xmas!
am looking forward to it, Denny, but it sounds like they are healthy kids, not sitting still for a moment :)
madge
there are sooo many words i want to use...cretin, credit
darn it
not valid, I tried that too, Krys.
creche
i mea, that's a phantom for me
this grid is haunted!
sean has a chest infection at the mo'. First one ever but you wouldn't think it!! DOctor was impressed he had got this far (2 and a half) wthout needing antibiotics!!
aw, poor kid! Glad he is so strong, Denny.
yes he's fine - loves his medicine too! It's a very scary flourescent yellow colour! what's that all about?!!!
just made so the kids will love it :)
i remember the smell tho', that's a smell you never forget... bleurgh :-P
i want to put magi - tis te season after all! ;-)
magi visiting a creche
so true, and I am still one M short, so that would be lovely :)
bringing myhrr
ho ho ho
me too sprite
i am missing one also.
rett
one m
sorry
m5/14 m4/6 m4/7 m5/16 m4/6 m5/22
might have to reort to the list...
well well, there it is. Ma5/22 was my missing one.
wondered whether it was :) what am i missing?
Krys, after the 5/16 comes a 4/7
oh for pete's sake, what a doof i am
woohoo thanks!
so... down to 2 and they are both 6s. Which at least reveals there is a T6 and an E6.
d'oh, I just entered "thray" AGAIN
and it is still not a word
did it work this time?
lol I wondered about that
anything there related to 'tercet"?
don't think so - vowel shortage in that department
which T does the 6 belong to?
e/6 is e+ch5/16 havent found the t/6
bottom left
Ahhh Ragalla, thanks!
I think I have tried all possible (and impossible) one-syllable T words. I will surmise it is two syllables then.
then it must use the T above it, right? otherwise the 6 would have belonged to the T in the 4th row
oooooh just got it TE 6/30
whilst it looks like it could be some kind of cyber vegetable it is actually 'Soil water not available for absorption by plants'
exactly, Krys. So there must be the e between them...
Yeah! Fireworks!
te6=irritable
yeah, that's what i thought it meant too, not the soil definite
arrgh thanks sprite!
WTG sprite!
ragalla even!
Yay Sprite!
great teamworlk :)
can someone clue the ma5/22?
minus L somewhere
oh i see, teh E6 is the soil clue
what jewish people eat at passover
spelled a little differently than I usually see
ma5/22 first 4 letters of one chasing bulls, insert consonant.
hey guys
got the fireworks now I can go christmas shopping lol
thanks krys - kept trying the wrong way...
hello kthdsn:)
YW
yeah jean! See?
hi kate. Did you sleep a little better tonight?
lol I excelled myself today sprite lol
what a great way to start Christmas season, jean :)
he went out for an hour last night to talk to the guy about getting my money, he still isn't home, I didn't wake up so I didn't get the kids to school and I can't go to work cos I've got them
right am away have a great babbling day everybody:)
certainly is sprite!
bye jean! He is certainly becoming a pain in the behind, Kate :(
it's way late here - i'm going to sleep, will find my last ten words tomorrow
I slept terribly, I kept dreaming that I'd slept all day, or that he came home and we argued, or that he came home but he was my ex husband instead of himself, it was horrible
it's been a pleasure, everyone!
night Krys, sweet dreams :)
he's not answering his phone and he didn't even try to call me
Mornin' All
Hi Odin!
Hey sprite
I thought things were going to be managable until I left, but at this rate I don't think I can cope
Interesting grid today
I have to be off, thanks for the fun all :) Kate - take care. He is NOT going to be pleasant about all this, as you see - take care of yourself and yours, dear. *hug*
well i have finished.
bye sprite
wtg Ragalla *poof*
morning all, newbie here. just one to go: ha5/18 and it's driving me nuts. any clues?
ha5/18 - Opposite of 'tender' , as of plants.
add a letter to the ha4/6, bore
(Or think 'tough')
jacula, you are a wonderful person. now i know why everyone says fireworks. Yahoo!
y/w, boredagain.:)
Good morning all.
hi haz
Morning, Haz.
Dr God is either being very kind or very cruel. Is the grid okay?
I don't think I'm going to do it today
It's quite nice Haz, Morning!
Haz - I started about 20 mins ago & only have 13 left to find. I'd say it's okay.
Hi FMitch!
Grand! And finally, a spotting of FMitch!
Hello Jacs :)
I have been an absentee babbler this week an dnow have stinky cold and streaming eyes/nose :( How's your back Haz?
poor fmitch
Oh FMitch, nasty cold! What a horrible thing to have. My back is improving, albeit slowly.
Oh, poor you FMitch! Still got the cough from mine (4 weeks now!) and my daughter came down with a 2nd cold last night.
So, it's the cold rather than the flu? With the flu, you'd not even care that the game existed, never mind want to do it!
It's the cough that's the real pain esp at night. Def cold not flu thankgoodness Haz.
It's nasty when you want and need to sleep and your cough won't allow it. My sympathy.
Anyway... it's fun grid so far and a dinky size which makes a change
I can't believe he's doing this to me, I don't know what to do (recap for those who missed, he went to discuss getting my money and hasn't come home, the kids have missed school and I've missed work)
I'm taking the risk of starting in the expectation that I can get it finished. And yes, the dinkiness is a refreshing change from the past couple of larger grids.
kthdsn - try to do something to take your mind off things.
I wouldn't mind so much if I had the money, but until he gets it for me I'm at his mercy
Well, I must leave you all for now with 10 to find. I have to go out and brave the crowds for the last weekly shopping session (plus getting Paul's last 2 presents he needs to buy to make sure it gets done!). Girding my loins.... Wish me luck! I will return. (I hope!)
All the best, Jacula. As long as the loins are girded, all should be well.
good luck jac
FMitch - are you still fog-bound or have the skies cleared yet. We can see daylight for the first time since the weekend.
Good luck, Jacs Sorry was on phone. Still lots of flog drifting about causing bg probs at Heathrow.
morning - is there really a CH 4/6?
yes, and I already had it.
yes phandmad - I smell burning
Hi everyone.
Was that the smell of your brain cells exploding?
Good evening Angb.
yes indeed!
Hi Haz - it's midnight here - must be lunchtime there?
Poor people heading off on holidays are in for long delays at Heathrow, by the sound of things.
morning all!
It's just after 11 am, Angb - sort of mid-breakfast and lunch time.
Daylight saving - I forgot.
Hi volley
Good morning Volley. And Angb - we need all the daylight we can get!
I'll try to send some over.
That would be lovely.
At the moment its domestic flights that are affected most I think Haz.
The weather forecase is for fine weather for more than a week. Xmas day will be outside this year. Yippee
how much snow do you all have
Not an ounce here, Volley.
any clue for the ec 6?
Snow!!! God forbid.
none here in IN either... really would like a bit for Christmas day
are domestic flights limited to maids and butlers?
e plus ch5/16
morning babble
thnx
LOL BabbleRabble
Hello, kate
good morning everyone. Another snowless day here in Vermont. The ski industry is hurting badly. Until now it hasn't even been cold enough to make snow.
good morning everyone. Another snowless day here in Vermont. The ski industry is hurting badly. Until now it hasn't even been cold enough to make snow.
Hi Eva
Ditto in Massachusetts. Hi all
Good morning Eva - and ch1212
I cannot believe how tough this little grid is
Hi ch1212
wow, the painter's name is a word! I decided to try it even though I knew it wouldn't be.
FIREWORKS!:) (Just couldn't resist another little try before going out. Must dash now. Byeeee.)
hurrah for you, jacula!
Bye Jacula
Well done Jacula!
And congrats
Congrats and byeee Jacs
good morning all -- any clue for the te 6? I could not find it with "irritate" clue.
alt spelling of the usual
te 6/30 - irritable, incorporating an artistic method
The middle of the word is et 4/6 kklln
te = t + the details of the event were sk***** and will need to be filled in later.
Finally got it...thanks Haz and Angb..
yw
You're welcome.
ma 5/16 is eluding me... hlp pls
plural of ma4/7
Add a vowel before the last letter of ma 4/7
gr8 clue babble on the te 6
It looks like a plural wise men, but with different last vowel
ah, thnx
the ma 5/22 uses the z right?
got it
Yup think Jewish food
thx for that phan and FMitch
Hi Angb
not a prob!
1 left-an n. I have ne4/5,ne5/12,ne4/4. What am I missing?
ne5/20
ne 5/20
thanks babble!
thx haz and babble
fireworks!
Congratulations!
yay eva
good going, eva!
Congrats, Eva
Congrats and Hi Eva (and Merp)
I was managing so well and now I feel like a scared little girl
Finally found the painter LOL
thanks all!
Kate, that's normal. {{{ hugs }}} Deep breaths, and one minute at a time, sometimes.
Time to go. Have a good day everyone!
bye haz
see ya haz
kth-it's going to be very hard for quite some time. There's no way around that. And feeling scared and sad and sick about it all doesn't mean you aren't doing "well".
Bye HAz, good to see you.
te 5/18 and 1st te 5/14 are eluding me too...
I guess you're right eva, I just feel so lost and alone right now, I didn't realise how alone I was because I always had him, now he's not here I see that I have noone but my online friends, who mean so much to me, but it's not the same as having someone there to hug you and help you manage things
FMitch-have you been away recently? Haven'ty seen you for a while
add the sometimes vowel to abbrev for computer fixer for the te5/18
Hi Eva, darn work has been getting in the way and the big grids are too much.
te 5/14 is the fabric your bath towel is often made of
Wow this is an icky grid...
I have a te 5/14 which is the material bath robes are made of
no there is another te 5/14 have the material
Kate-you are awfully young to be handling all of this, but you'll learn a lot about your strength, and maybe this will be an oportunity, albeit a terribly painful one, to make other connections so as not to end up so isolated again.
te 5 = te*ms of Endearment and Atlanta is in **
FMitch-sounds like work has to go
lol Eva
babble rabble, ?
see you all later.
Kate, I went through it as a single mom, and the worst mistake I made was telling myself I should be doing 'better' and not giving myself time to just go trhough all the normal process of it. I kept telling myself I had to be super strong for my daughter, when in fact I just didn't want to keep feeling the pain, confusion, hopelessness, anger, fear, and all the rest. So be as gentle as you can with yourself. {{ kate }}
thanx babble
phandmd - thonk of the missing derby winner and substitute te for sh
see you all later; hope you have a wonderful day!
think even!
bye volleymom!
There is also a car race that Dunlop ta*** rally - change the second letter
hugs.... **poof**
as in Kentucky?
only have 1 a - am4. What are t'others???
see you volley
dachef - think elderly
Dachef - how old are you? (not nosey - a clue)
2 ag's, 1 ar, 2 ats
how old are you? (2)
soory, I meant to add from the top row.....:)
a famous landmark in paris
I need more help on that te 5/14 that isn't material
got em, cheers! te5 - think Chocolate Orange.
I've just called the girls school and explained the situation to them, I don't have to send them back so I can just concentrate on getting out of here
I hope to god that he gets me this money, I'm so terrified that he won't, and I can't leave without it
phan, same first four letters, add a vowel to the end.
Anyone have a clue for the at words?
That's good. That's one big thing off your list.
at + short mommy, + plural.
ang, think your female parent
katy, I think that is a TE 5/10?
Thnx dachef and ch
the chocolate orange didn't do it for me either...
I am so dense...
missing an r and the d from the bottom row. I have re4, whats the other?
ah, you are right. let me think . . .
That at is an interesting word - means "the principle of life"
chocolate orange may be a British thing. te5 is a boys name, also a chocolate manufacturer over here.
try, first three letters of the material add first two letters of what you put in your car to make it run **soline.
There ius a de 5/16 - a french painter
ang, I was going to clue it as "soul" from the dark recesses of my college class on world religions.
mmmm chocolate orange, I hope they're not just a british thing, I love them
thank you so much for spoon feeding me.
ch - never heard of it before - sounds nice!
you are very welcome.
clue for the eg 5/14 please?
Have you the re 5/14 - that means vomit?
done, gotta go for now, bbl to help clue. thnx for all the help
eg 5/14 - a type of heron type bird
congrats phandmd
wtg phan, have a good day
See ya phan - congrats
thx Angb, got the vmoitous one (not appropriate today as I have a hangover). Struggling with the painter tho. I just know I'm gonna need a fish for this one......
eg 5/14 is a bird.
de + US petrol
eg = movie The ***urn of the Jedi
ta. Consider my fish well and truly utlisised.
Tis ok dachef - I hate small grids - finding this heavy going myself
Thanks for the help with the eg...since I did not know the bird...I used google...BabbleRabble's clue came later...good clue though.

bye denny
Hello my friends :)
I'm with you kth! This is my last day off before Christmas and I shuldn't be glued to Babble
Hi Kate - are you doing ok?
I'm supposed to be at work today but since he's disappeared again I'm stuck at home with the kids
Oh Kate I'm sorry you are having to go through this (((((hugs))))
it's all going wrong faerie, I don't know if I can manage like this any more, I just want to get my money from him and go
Must go and actually do some housework. I won't come back for at least 2 hours [maybe!!] God bless kthdsn
see you later jfb
Kate I can understand that. He is certainly not a man of his word and you can't count on him for anything nor can your children and it would be best for you to just get the hell out right now. Can your parents help you out with the money for a short time?
Hey, everyone. Short grid, I see. This is the kind I'd like for Christmas Day, please.
no, they have none spare since my dad isn't working any more
Hi Merk
Hi Merk
when is he suppose to come up with the money for you?
and my passport forms are being held up yet again, the guy at school who is signing them is bringing me them tomorrow morning, so I can't post them until tomorrow, I wanted them to be sent off on tuesday
he went to discuss the money with the guy last night, and didn't come home
when life starts to suck it really starts to suck I know Kate I've been there and done that but you have to be strong and stick in there right now for you kids Hon
but what ever you do.....don't back down
I just wish I didn't have to depend on him for this sodding money
Can anyone help wih the first ma 5/14 please?
your not going to have to much longer Kate just sit tight and be strong Babe
ma5 spanisj momma
Hi Bonkler
morning all, chin up kth
Thank you bonkler, I was looking the wrong way!
atage
Bonkler you icon is toooo funny and I know that its you isn't it hahahah
ooops
yup that's me after staring into the babble grid too long
KT....is I might be very nosey....how much money are you expecting from him?
Bonker Chris****
hello all
Hiya Chiley
Hi Mousey
WOOHOO....fireworks
Hi Faerie and all
Congratulations CHILEY *~*~**~*~*~**
yah for chily
chiley he is getting me £20k
I owe £9.5k personally which I have to pay off before I leave, and I will have enough left to start a new life with the girls
Kate can you translate that into American $$ for me?
roughly double, $40k
thanks, that is more than enough for you to get a fresh start somewhere and is he going to be paying you child support?
hi all again
Good morning Babblers. 52 words! I can probably get this done before work.
Kate, just arrived and read the recent log. We are all in your camp. Hope he comes up with some of that money.
Hi Ric and Scrabbler :)
Hi, Faerie, Scrabblre and too many to mention!
(((((Inge))))) long time no see :-D
hi sc
no faerie, no child support, I want to be independent from him and I think him giving us that much to start us off is enough to make up for the lack of help later
this is the first board i've not had to use the list for so far lol, down to my last 6 :-)
Mousey--HI! I missed you yesterday--babblers mentioned you had been on before me
Go Ric!
so is he willing to give up the girls completely?
yes i was waiting for you!!
FAERIE!!
yes faerie, I will be more than willing to help him keep in touch, but I don't expect him to support us
anyone have a clue for the te 5/18 ?
Mousey!!!!
good grief, 52 words, and our California babbler got her name in it!!!
ma 5, 14 Spanish for mother
bee right back
cert
te 5 18 a little irritable
Kate if he isn't going to pay child support I wouldn't give him 1/2 a chance to see the girls but don't tell him that
((((((FAERIE)))))
thanks RKB :)
at least it is not a word, changing boxes now!
(((((((((((((SHORTY))))))))))))))
he's always been a good father, and I'm sure after this whole mess settles down he always will be, but I am sure I will manage without his financial help, just so long as he comes through with this money now
Cool icon, Faerie. Cool screenname Read-Knit-Bake.
Morning Faerie and all...a welcomed short puzzle! Off to finish holiday chore list. Enjoy the day.
ty bake i didn't have the te
Kate you need to get the money and run girl and don't look back.
I've told the girls that we're going to go on holiday after christmas, they are all excited about it
that's my plan faerie
Do you know where your going Kate?
That lone D on the top row--is it a dh word?
dr
no scrabbler, dr
morning all
dr 4/7
Hi Mom
Got it, Mom. i am just getting familiar with the grid--it is quite the tight grid.
indeed it is
dr 4 7..it going to be a long dr_ _ now i am really going
Hi Faerie
I think I'll have to stay in the house until the passports come, that's the only thing I'll have to wait for after I get the money
but do you know where your going after you get the $$
$40K is a LOT of money--is it really that much you need?
i need it
LOL mousey
toronto faerie
and 40k is a good start to put a down payment on a house and to get moved
give me 30$
scrabbler I have to pay half of that to clear my credit cards before I leave
Fireworks! This was hardly worth getting out of bed for.
I'll arrive with about $20k
Congrats Merk
awwww Toronto is nice do you have friends or family there
Ouch. I was hoping your math was wrong when converting pounds to US$
yah i know
yes faerie my parents moved out 3 years ago and my sister moved out almost 2 years ago
I can actually get something else done today. Wow!
I am now not liking this grid. My initial excitement of 52 words has faded. :(
Congrats Merk
I'm planning on arriving and paying 12 months rent up front for a nice 3 bed apartment
Amen, Scrabbler
that is a wise choice then you will have lots of support and people around you who love you very much :)
See you tomorrow.
bye, merk
Bye Merk--enjoy the day.
TODAY IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!
then I will have 12 months security while I find a job etc
bye merk
Later Merk
Why mousey??
the last day of school??
KT....I wouldn't rule out child support. It's expensive to take care of 3 girls. They're young....I would ask for SOME support even it it's minimal.
Yeah Mousey
YAHOO!!!
Oh, you have tomorrow off? Most schools here have tomorrow as the last day. So you are very lucky, mousey. What will you do over vacation?
no idea
I am still looking for the te5 mentioned earlier--"slightly irritable"
oh i see cool!
Mousey in South Africa the schools finished for the year on 1 December and only go back in late January - I think like your summer holidays
bye all
gotta go to school
Bye
Bye Mouse have a good day at school :)

Enjoy the time off.
Yes, enjoy this slow time of life ursh
Scrab - does'nt seem to ever slow - eternal rush for one thing or another - but great not to have to be at any one place at any particular time
But a slower pace helps.
yw
back to finish, hopefully! off work since last fri, but still busy!
Certainly does - for the next 3 days our shops are insane - then the 26th arrives and all settles back to normal
Go MVA!

congrats mom!!
Wooot woooot mom. What will you do with your day now?
Sorry Scrabbler - looked in the wrong spot
Congratulations Mom
Thanks MVA, Scrabbler, and Faerie
woohoo, mom!!!
I don't have that either MVA
I like your icon, Une
I think I will make a jingle tree, banana nut bread and some chocolate chip cookes
enough for all the babblers
and congrats to Faerie!!
Thanks Une
Une--what does your name mean in French--I never asked before.
yum!!!
choc chip cookies, wonderful!
Save some chocolate chip cookie dough for me, PLEASE Mom, PLEASE, you always let me do that!
it means a girl/woman from Aix (Aix-en-Provence)--I went to school there and lived there for a while--and was married to a Frenchman (un aixois) for 12 years :-)
you bet I will. Of course, you will have to fight your father and brother for some
gotta run--BBL!
I will save a special bowl for you, since you are my only daughter :)
Bye Une

eg 5 = I re**** to inform you your soldier is MIA
I'm really not having a good day today
what's up, Kate?
he's still not home, didn't come home last night again
how does that make you feel?
I'm just so confused and wondering if he really is getting me any money or if he's just pissing me about
ok, let's focus on the positive. He will get you money, he owes you that at the least
if he gets me the money I can cope, it's just the wondering and I hate being dependent on him for it
I can't do my things without the money from him
the positives are all dependent on the money
you shouldn't - you both have children, it's not your fault, someone has to care for them
I know, everything is about money these days, how to get it, how to find it, where to put it once you have it
which means until he gets it, I've just got to wait around for him like some kind of fool
you're not a fool - you're planning your new life, you're loving and enjoying your children
the fool is the one who doesn't value what they have
ne4, I have the geek one.
Oh gosh, I'm in the grid, I'm in the grid!!!!
I can't leave without it, I've quit my job and the kids have quit school, everything is all planned and set, ric is taking me to pick up the passports if they're not here in time, he's also driving us to london to get the plane, it's all falling into place apart from the damn money to pay for it
ne4 comedienne carol burne**
ne = poker ante goes in the ki**y
I need ne4, not the geek one
then he will get it and it will happen. you have to believe it will.
I just feel so frustrated and I wish he would DO the same things he SAYS
from your fingertips to God's eyes...he WILL do it
Kate, so sorry you have to go through this. How are the kids taking it, if you don't mind me asking?
re 5/14 please. hello all and happy holidays. i shouldn't be playing i am way behind in holiday baking and gift wrapping
I've told them we're going on holiday and he has to stay here to work
think of profit and loss, Kenny. After deducting expenses, you're left with a ne-- gain.

de5 - French Impressionist painter

Ive got that one, its the d on the bottom right habd corner
Seriously! It's a Thursday and we get this nonsense of a puzzle!!!! GRRRRR
de5 - French impressionist - painted balerinas.
de 5 is a French painter
de + fuel for your car
de5 also sounds like a derogatory term for an Italian.
Please help with the ma5 22? *sticks out lip*
de5 to create a vacuum
i got it.thx.a better clue for those who may not have it is its a french word that means mess(as in dirty)
Horse girl - sounds like what you do with a shovel.
ma5 alt. spelling of unleavened wafer
omg Chj thank you xmillion! :)
thanks chj, I needed that one too - down to four now!

Adieux, mon amis. This tiny puzzle puts a serious crimp in my goofing off abilities today. Have to go look busy now.
I'm missing one of the t's from the upper right - got the bits and the labels; what am I missing folks?
Can I have a clue fot something beginning with the a in the upper right hand corner.. I cannot see anything coming from it..
t waste allowance
a+ merry x-***
I don't think he can get this money, he can't seem to get hold of the bloke, and I can't manage without
a amo **** amat
I know I tried that... Thanks
Kate, you *can* manage. It might not work out as neatly as you hoped, but you'll get back on your feet. Hang in there!
everything is going so wrong and I don't know what to do or how to manage
last. one. ne 5/20 anyone???
aaaand n/m i got it!!!
woo hoo 1st puzzle finished in a while!
do u wanna give a hint for those of us who havent kc????pretty plx
nerry
ignore that word everybody
Congrats Kc
Kate, of course you feel overwhelmed right now. It might help to take just one or two steps to take care of yourself and your kids. Do you have to have your credit cards paid off to leave the country, I mean is it legally required?
I don't think it's required but I won't be able to support my kids and pay off old debts when I have absolutely nothing
kate- do you have a lawyer?
ok... done with that puzzle
no temple, I don't see how it would help, I don't want a fight, I want to leave
ne rhymes with a car rental company
kate - you'll need money. part of the money and goods are yours. the =kids will still require support
ty bicon!! :)
i still cant see the ne :(
Lawyers aren't just for fighting, they are also for untangling those financial strings and protecting the kids.
we don't have anything owl, just a bunch of debts
thier slogan is we'll pick you up
well they're not all yours to pay
ya umm, i dont really know any car rental companies.
You have the kids, Kate. And the debts - you have even more reason to get some legal help than if you were in the black.
they are, they're in my name
if you are typing the geeky clue in just go above the D those 2 letters
lol.thx got it.what a stupid words
it was all going to be fine, he was getting me the cash and I was going and we were going to stay friends and everything was going to be ok, now I can't see how I can even survive let alone enjoy my life
Kate, this might seem cruel, but what would you do if he were hit by a bus right now? You are a smart strong woman, and you will pull through this no matter how much of a jerk he chooses to be. Even if it doesn't feel like you will right now.
(((kthdsn))) sorry to hear it's been so rough. it will get under control!
fireworks my first yeh !!!
I feel like my whole life is shattered and every time I start to pick it back up he shatters it again
congrats diem
it sounds like the more you can do to get away/independent from him, the better off you'll be because he won't have enough influence to continue to throw things out of balance
wierd grid today...how many words?
that's just what I want to do, but I can't without money and he was supposed to be getting me it, he told me it was 100% certain and I foolishly believed him
so how many words are there today?
just 52
Kate, I don't know how consoling this is, but I've been way in the red for a while now, and will be for a long time to come. But it's always doable, and there will be help available.just because there's not much money around doesn't mean that life can't be enjoyable. don't underestimate freinds and family.
do you have a lawyer?
ty krys
fireworks
((((kate)))) I've been there. I understand. He will do anything to keep you down because deep down inside, he knows he messed up. Oh, and hello wveryone!
no I don't want a lawyer, I don't have the strength to make an enemy out of him
*everyone
if you are raising three kids and he was supporting you, you are entitled to some help from him.. but it may take a lawyer to help you get it.
Kate, listen. Do you believe in God?
If so, say a prayer. and have faith that he will help you.
i'm not religious but i also believe that things work themselves out and that being overwhelmed is an awful feeling but things usually aren't as unmanageable as they seem
If not, start to and things will begin to happen that will be unbelievable, just as long as you focus on what's important: your children.
kate - you need a Plan B, which doesn't rely on him. It's no use waiting for him to come up with the money. I know it's tempting to get away, but can't you stay where you are for a while?
kate? are we making this worse?
I'm sorry, my connection crapped out
I don't believe in god no
the server's having problems today...
I can't stay here happily, I have nobody but him here, and he's no longer here for me, I desperately need to be with people who love me, and they are in canada
you will figure something out.
it'll work out
I know that if I could just get to them, I will be fine, but getting there costs money, and that's the one thing I don't have
I agree with Sherb - a plan B is a great idea. You will get to Canada, it may just take a bit longer if he isn't helping (and it sounds like he doesn't have much incentive to help).
exactly
I just read a blog on your site Kate. It's entitled: "Only You Can Change Your Life". Did you write that?
I did, but I don't believe it any more
one last hug for kate (((((kate))))) and i'm outta here - time to warm up the house and start my day
bye krys
so what are you going to do kate?
I don't know, I really don't know
Is there anything like the US Legal Services over there, for those who can't afford to hire a private lawyer? They handle mostly family stuff here, I think. Like what you are going through. Lawyers are the experts.
hey all

eg 5 is the plural of the 4
thanks deb/babblerabble...
:-P
i need one more e word from the left hand side. i got the 6/27 and the 4/6. what am i missing???
I'm trying so hard to be positive but I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel any more
came in late kth - whats going on
eg 5 = r**ret to inform you your soldior is MIA
I don't think he can get me the money wurdy
who?
he's stayed out all night and I've missed work, everything is going wrong
kate, are you a citizen of britain? can the canadian consulate help you?
kth - can you back up and tell me the story
was that for me babblrable?
the useless crappy git of a husband that I have
I'm a british and canadian citizen
hello dear kate! {{{sounds like you need a few hugs}}}
bbl, happy Babbling all...
sorry wurdy did you miss the beginning? He doesn't love me any more and so I'm leaving, he was going to borrow me money to make it possible so me and the kids could have a fresh start, my plan was coming together and he doesn't seem to be coming through with the cash
ty stid, I sure do
hi all.
bastard
er 4/6 = good clues are a *od*end (help from a higher party)
sorry for language really reealy sorry
is Hurshy on line? Or does someone have her email address? or telephone #? I need to contact her right away. can someone have her email me? address in my purse.
well, step by step...why doesnt he leave
thank u thank u thank u rabblebabble
kate -- are there domestic abuse shelters in England? can anyone at one of those point you in the direction of advice that is helpful?
do they have child support in britan
et 4/6 = Prince **arles
I can email her, inge
he hits you??
no he doesn't hit me
ive got ALLLLLL the E's.now on to the other stupid ones.darn
sorry, just going from the shelter comment
I would be just fine if i could get to canada and be with my parents and my sister, but I can't do that unless I have money
"abuse" is more than physical violence... emotional abuse is often more insidious and difficult to leave.
child support won't make any difference, I need money now to move, not a cut of his petty income
how about checking with airlines and seeing about a hardship flight that brings the cost down
I hear that stid
and the things he is doing, kate, in the United States at least, constitute abuse.
Ata, please do and tell her to email me
wurdygirl...the other 6 is te6/30...meaning annoyed...or rhyming with what a dog does when you throw something and then adding the sometimes vowel.
good idea wurdy!
he's not abusing me, he's really doing his best, I just need money to fly out
do you have a joint credit card that you can charge the fare on
deb! I have been looking for that one since the flip! thank you!
no, most of the cards are in my name and maxed out due to previous financial problems
thanks deb
YW!
hmmm...thinking
done, inge. i'll pounce on her if she comes online as well
do you have a 401k or something similar that you can take a loan out from
wurdy, email inge. She has a plan.
have a garage sale and sell all of his stuff
he was borrowing £20k for me (around $40k) to pay off my debts, get a flight, and start afresh, all we have are debts, and without money I can't do anything
Actually, hurshy finished about 25 minutes after the flip. don't know if she'll be back on today.
we have nothing worth selling
I really have no plan b, I can't even sell the house and take the money because it's worth less than the mortgage
kate -- what do you need RIGHT NOW -- a cup of tea, to get to work, someone to watch the kids for a few hours?
last word...te5.14, the one before the land word.
I've quit work, tomorrow is my last day. I know I've done it in the wrong order but I felt the need to start doing something about leaving, since he told me the money was a certainty
paying off debts can happen later. We can figure out a way to get you home to Canada if that will help.
te5/14 can be a boy's or girl's name or a type of towel
hi lbd! still on? or on again? LOL
Kate, we are sort of working on a plan B. Can
have that one deb. need the one before it.
even if I can physically get to canada, I won't be able to manage with no money and a pile of debts in the uk
t wake up the godmothers to tell you what we are about.
he's home now I'm going to talk to him for a bit
Oh whoops...sorry...te5/14 has the abbr. for Georgia on the end
I'll be back in an hour or two
the 1st te 5/14 changes one consonant from the land word
{{{kate}}} I will be on later this afternoon. I will keep you in my heart
Hi Stid! back to finish, it's really slow here at the office. Kthdsn (((hugs)))
till later, Kate
whats the land words????
bye kate
horse -- "earth" is sometimes called te*** firma...
Fireworks for me. Thank you to all for your help.
thx stidmama
ok 11 left for me
go wurdy go!
YAY deb!
te 5/14 = te*ms of Endearment and "I **ve at the office"
Congratulations, deb!
clue for the e from the bottom right, that is not a quaint exclamation? I know it has 5 letters
someone clued something earlier regarding an ma that ends in a sometimes vowel...can anyone help anymore with that
hello inge2!
hello, stidmama! How's the weather there today?
no ma ending in sometimes vowel
no ma ends in a y
oh must have misread
inge, is there a plan b?
it is sunny today, and calm. Last night's storm was wet, but not overly windy. *thanking all the rain gods for that* And I will go pick up babbler "riemann" in a little bit for a visit.
how's the weather where you live?
ma 5/14 = add Sierra Ma*** mountains
gorgeous, unseasonably so.
ma 4/6 = the poor are *e*titute
I have ma 5/14 isnt there another like 5/18
oh -- are you in the Northeast? I hear Vermont is snowless! in December! so bizarre.
well, 3 left; just popping in to say hi, but must be off to work. Have a great day all
yes, it's true, Stid! no white Xmas here
later inge2!
yes, there is a B. We would set up an account in Kate's name in Toronto, to which all babblers could contirbute. $40 each from 1000 babblers would cover all debts. Anythhing less would at least get her to Canada and started.
Mi is snowless at least in northern metro detroit
ma 4/7 = the wedding ring has a **mstone
hi and bye stid and all - until tomorrow
ergh! thank you and fireworks.
yippee for me! just grayed the top row!
YAY lbd!
inge - keep me posted. can her relatives get her when she arrives?
ma 5/16 is the plural of the 4/7
i need help with the n words. I have 4/5, 5/12 and5/20
{{{inge}}} holler when things are set up.
that is a good plan inge. I hope people help her
i just sent you an email let me know when and where I can contribute
and half of those debts are his she needs $ to get on or she will end up maxed oput on credit again
I have 5/16
Her parents live in Toronto for three years now.
for the n's wurdygurl????
ma 4/7 = clues can be *od*end
inge i cannot get to personal email at work so i will check back
jeez, she needs to make sure he pays his own debt. I don't know how the British system works but certainly there must be someone there who can help her at least get a fair shake
I don't know the UK system -- isn't there a debt forgiveness thingy like bankruptcy she can do? I know it plays havoc with credit ratings for a while, but at least it lifts part of the burden for the immediate bills!
why pay his debts? unless they are all in her name?
ma4/6 = study of numbers
I am missing one
They are all in her name!!!!
I ahve
Horsy. those who are considered really math, science and techy are often called n****
yes, but bankruptcy takes a while, and screws up things for 6 years, I think
doen't matter in US
ive gotten those ones
5/14; 4/6; 4/7; 5/16; 4/7; and 4/6
ma 5/22 = floor *** + auther **ne grey
both assets and debts in marriage are equally shared
She really needs to consult with a lawyer, to make arrangements with the credit companys (never mind him!) Someone posted earlier that there is a Legal Aid service there, Ithink?
in the United States, most debts are considered jointly held, and when a marriage dissolves, responsibility is shared as well.
Horsy, do you have the one that catches fish, double the last letter?
yay thanks
that is true stid, dont know what it is like in britan though
says she doesn't want to make an enmy of him. but it's about business
no i didnt lbdawger, thx a bunch
We need some financial whiz in Canada to find out whether we can have such an account, that people would sent doolars, pounds, and other currencies to.
divorce is never friendly...well, rarely
*sigh* until later, all 0 work calls
that's the problem -- international laws are so different...
what about paypal inge
later TO {{have a good afternoon}}
enemy shemeny. When it boils down to paying debts and raising the kids, it may have to come down to bringing out the big guns
that
Later TO
she won't be mean to him, or even fair, because she wants to stay friends with him
she still loves him
that's why Hurshy contacted Dr. God. I hoped she knows more about that than I do
*sigh* friends don't do this to friends...two way street. but I can understand how she's feeling.
i dont really understand your clue for ma5/22 babblerabble
hi everyone
time to strap it on and take care of her kids.
hey girlie!
nvm i got it
She's leaving herself vulnerable, right now. And the kids.
I even wondered whether our lawyer babbler chj could be of help in setting up such a fund
small list today ... nice change
babblers to the rescue!
horsy, first three letters of number word + *ink oxide + first vowel
thanks lbd -- a passover food!
yes girlie, but it's a doozy!
ok I am down to 9 now I am having some difficulty
getting that idea :S
go wurdy go!
ive gotten it(it just made up words till one worked)lol but does anhone have a clue for the t words?? i need one that starts on the t on top of the other t.
I have one a from the top right any help
i need help with those also :)
Kate needs to have her mother contact a bank in Toronto to establish an account. Once the account has been established, those who want to contribute will need to know procedure for making direct deposits to the account. Kate's mom could buy the tickets for kate and the girls and wire transfer funds to Kate if need be.
how about the fabric that bathrobes are made of, Horse?
I found a piece of camping gear for the two ts - this is my first game ever, so not sure if that's the best answer, tho :)
ive gotten that one
on that T horse I have a brit slang word for "itching for a fight", camping shelter, te 5/14, "earth" and man's name
midwinter -- that was a lovely clue! how are you doing with finding words?
thanks BabbleRabble, that's what i needed to hear
umm....ok, but not much better than that ;) it's been a long time since I played word games, and I'm grabbing snatches inbetween work
itching for a fight - dont get
i dont think i have the itching for a fight word. is it the 6/30 or 4/4? cuz i got those
heh, I sent the link to my sister saying "you have to check babble out", I must have still been logged in on her computer - shes don e 1/2 the list for me :(
oh i just got the 5/18. im missing one and i dont know what it is
can you clue the 5 14
oops 18
Can someone please explain the codes to me - ex: "5 14"?
te+3rd letter of alphabet+h+the sumtimes letter/vowel
5=number of letters and 14=number of points
ahh...thanks!
5 letter words are worth 2 x the tiles
ur welcome.i had to ask that to like yesterday.lol
midwinter, if you go to Lickety's list (under the tile stats to the left of chatlog) you can get first 2 letters of all words, ya 4/7 means word has four letters and is worth 7 points, Points are explained in Help above chat log
I'm horrible with numbers/scoring, so it's mostly greek to me. I just keep entering words to see what'll take :)
(which is why I always lose soundly at Boggle)
my lickety's list has yesterday's puzzle on it.:(
mine is today's
hey all...my 7 and 8 year old kids are finishing the puzzle....let me know if they get outta hand
lucky, i have 3 words left and i have no clue what they could be
by the way, those of us with girls, save some clothes for girls ages 2, 4, and 6 to send to Toronto eventually.
I will share the bank accout idea with Kate when she returns, and see what we can do
help with the EC?
now I am going to take time off for baking a few things, I will be in and out of the log
later inge!
sorry, had to take a break for kid things. midwinter, do you know about Lickety's list? there is a link at the bottom of this page, open it in a new tab or window.
I didn't know, but see it now - thanks
another help that was vital when I was new was Angelsong's resource pages... I still use her links when I am stuck!
i need one more word. its a t 5 and it uses the top t in the left side of the grid
phone call from riemann! gotta scoot up to Tacoma to pick him up from the bus. See you-all later!
first three letters of the land word + abbreviation for Georga

I'm back for a while, he's popped out to get some food
yup - ty
yw
he's fallen apart, its sunk in that we're leaving, and instead of coping, he's trying to hide
he still thinks he can get the money, although I'm still not so sure about that
I feel a bit less devastated than I did earlier, but this is all a lot harder than I thought it would be
i need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what do you want???cuz sum are kinda easy to get on ur own.i think
i have the last 8 words
what do u mean???im a lil confused
help with HY5?
Hi, Kate, ok let him keep trying to get at least some of the money. We have thought of a plan B: your Mom would set up an account in your name with aToronto bank, then she would inform you and all babblers how to make direct deposits to that account. Then your MOM would buy your tickets and wire trasnfer funds to you as needed. What do you thnk?
hy+***wing a picture
that would be really great inge, you don't know how much it means to me
or a mythical monster
Several babblers have agreed to help, so don
t despair on us. I have to get back to my baking though
lets put it this way i need help on the last 8 words
there will still be a lot of other parts to figure out like how to pay off my debts here and how to start off there, but at least I will be with my family
hi
you guys are so amazing, I hope that at some point in the future I will be able to repay all your kindness somehow
so the t's and the Y???
I can in late...what can I help with kthdsn?
three feet in a y
nvm. give me numbers.thatll help me comprehend which ones u need
gadget I'm not sure that he can get me the money he was going to borrow, the babblers want to send me money so I can get my flight
of course that will only make sense if you know the beginning of the story, I forget who knows and who doesn't
I work the puzzlse backward, and this one the beginning was MUCH easier than the end.
did I scare everyone away?
Hiya! How is everything - small grid!
hi matty
Hey Kate - what's news - how are things?
I'm not sure he can get me the money, things are feeling a bit crap right now
Hi Kate
Well what do you know, I have Fireworks. I have not been able to play for days, too much to do, and grids far too big, but today was a doddle
hi dawg
whoo hoo exwren!
Is he trying to back out, or claiming poverty?
Kath, I have only just come in to your story, perhaps I hade better read the back log, but when are you supposed to be leaving? will that be for good?
matty he was going to borrow it from a friend, we are in debt up to our armpits and he was going to get me enough to pay my debts and start again, £20k
ny more clues needed? i 2g2
Perhaps it's time to think about formalising the split, so that he is legally responsible for the debt (or at least half of it?
wren my husband doesn't love me any more and there's nothing left for me here, I'm going to toronto as soon as possible to start again with my family around me
we never combined our finances
he's back for a while, I'll come and talk again in 30 mins
Yes, but he's legally liable for some of them, as you are married, and supporting children.
How are people finding the puzzle?
1ST TE 5/14 please x
oh sorry you are chatting opps ill keep looking :-)
I'm struggling, M! I have very few fives and fewer sixes!
matty i only need that te and the ec !
I just looked to the left, and there it was ..
M3 as in Te*** cloth robe or garment or towel
thanks change ill work on it x
ec6/27 = e + c5/16
hehe ta ho hum x
I don't have the c5/16!
burnt matty
Got it = thanks!
ahhh the 1st te 5/14 te is hiding frrom me !!
Babble is a fun compu*** **me ..
Which is not what people were saying on Tuesday.
Good afternoon/evening all.
I don't care what the people say ...
Heya haz ..
Hi torgone - you can't live in a world without love?
Well, I'm surviving ..
Or what song does the not caring what people say remind me of?
I don't remember either ..
It was from the sixties - I can hear it in my head, but blowed if I can remember who sang it.
oh the te, is not a realy word!
You've seen stranger, M3, why the surprise?
Sure it is - pl. of "the dorsal surface of a body segment of an arthropod."
lol, i need to get some wrapping up done, its my last word ahhhh :-)
Haven't you got it yet? It's an anagram of what you do to cheese or what goes in front of Britain
EG5/14 anyone?
I know where their jive is at ..
Never mind!
oh ta haz thanks of to wrap now, bye bye xxx
Bye M3 - Christmas is back on track.......
eg sounds like baby egal x
One thing I do have on my mind ..
If you can clarify please do . .
Kthdsn, Haven't been here for a few days, but so sorry to hear that things are going badly for you . It honestly WILL get better and clearer. Like most of us here, I've been through it and come out the other side a stronger person. Keep hope up.
torgone - what's on your mind? Awaiting clarification of the need for clarification.
I'm back, thanks liz
** FIREWORKS ** - the list made this much easier :D
he thinks the money guy will be in the pub tonight, and he's going to look into the possibility of getting one of those loans for desperate people
It's more of the lyrics . .Led Zepellin ..
Well done mattygroves!
kthdsn
Ah, Led Zeppelin - that explains why I hadn't a clue!
Congrats matty
Hello FMitch - feeling any better?
kthdsn, wish you all the best and hope this year brings you a brighter future
Not too bad thanks Haz, going to get an early night. Had Dr's appt to, might be anemic too
thank you change
Oh no - it's fried liver for you! And lots of greens.
I'm going to crack open the haagen dazs he bought me, posh ice cream makes things so much easier to get through @D
And FMitch - the balsam Kleenex really are kinder to your nose. Or men's handkerchiefs - so much nicer than scratchy paper.
oops that was meant to be a smile :D
LOL Haz you know how to cheer a person right up!
It's the little practical details that help to make life more bearable with a cold! Oh, and don't forget the goose fat embrocations (the last one is made up)
Oooh when I have a cold I put a few drops of olbas oil in my oil burner, it seems to help more than sniffing it off a tissue
Although they say that since Nigella started advocating the use of goose fat in roast potatoes, the shops can't keep up with the demand!
I have to say the roast pots she cooked last night looked sooooo good and crunchy.
There may be something in the theory then.
mmmmm cookies and cream ice cream
Goose fat is excellent for such things as it heats to a higher temp than other oils without smoking. Mind you I am an advocate of roast goose in the first place.
You're not a great turkey fan, are you? No point in having it if you don't enjoy it.
52 medical terms?
I use the same approach with brussels sprouts. None of us are keen, so I'm afraid I bypass the sprout mountains in Tescos.
Not quite, cybernan - good afternoon.
Could I have the point total for today?
537 points
Thanks Haz
You're welcome - does this mean you are approaching completion?
Hi c-nan not a bad grid for a small size
One word left and it was driving me crazy
Got it though
Well done!
First time I've finished without the list!
Well done indeed!
ty
Well, I suppose I should go and do something useful. If I get the ironing done tonight, it means I can concentrate on the dreaded grocery shopping trip tomorrow. Have a good afternoon/evening all.
bye haz
Night Haz
bye Haz.
Byee - hopefully see you tomorrow, grid and shopping permitted.
now that i have all the easy ones.... h? -- have difficult and sturdy

Hang in there, kate ..

Got most of my shopping done.Now just have to wrap
sprite managed to convince me into doing latest pic in watercolour rather than pencil ... its hard work!
I'm changing my mind..... not seeing anything!

Yipppeeee to all finishers! (I finished this AM before work, with help from Babble friends---small grid but lots of strange words!)
And, I am not in Georgia, I am still home, but since tomorrow is my friends birthday, and he is in Georgia, I thought I would pay a little bit of tribute to that land of phage (my last icon.).
hello all
The web sight was having some problems off and on today. There was a period where I couldn't log on at all today.When I came back from shopping I was able to get on. Now I won't go. Scared I won't get back on

Hi cathy
I thought you said the a on the left side - was tryihg to see a word out of that!
Only reason I recognize that is because my mom was a Latin teacher!I hated it.It's useless unless you are babbling, then I guess Latin could become useful.

Thank you.
eg+sale promotions

*pulling out marshmallows to roast on fran's perfect coals* anyone for s'mores?
I am so excited for Christmas...Christian visited Santa and first thing he said was that he has been trying really hard all year to be good...Santa started laughing

stidmatt, would you kindly craft me a clue for da4/5?
Mama, it's what you're going to say when you find the word! er+petrol w/o the a
mama...plural of work units?
et 4/6 then
oh, mama, you need the et** a sket**
ec+not soft mama
Ok......only 3 left......need the te6-60, te5-18 and te5-14
et 4/6 is what you do when you graffitti something hard.
fish slap X 2
thanks! and fireworks!!! that was a quickie!!!
ooh....et** a sketch...popular toy
sorry mama, I'm a little slow tonight...I think I also threw everyone off in helping by using the wrong e
a da**bank
rosewood, te6 and te5/18 are alt spelling of the same word, it means irritable
woo hoo mama!
te6-te+the final e word we just clued for mama below and a vowel
yeah mama!!
oh rats, i was hoping you would give me a star trek clue
te5/18 looks like a guy who is into computers
hooray mama!
that's a good one too though.
te 6/60 some people can get very te***y, picky.
te6, add another consonant after the TE
te5/14 is te + anagram of a scrap of cloth
I still think it is crazy talk that you can have a te 5/18 but no te 4/6!
(a scrap of cloth that is tattered or that you use to wipe up messes)
Hi All, I am very excited, only 1 left, first time almost finished, need help with top right A

welcome, rachmouse.. Babble is a barrel of fun!

It also helps because there would be less words!
wtg aloy by the way!
te5/14 is te + anagram of tattered cloth
I still have 18 to go - mostly in the lower left for some reason

Evening folks! I'm having a bit of trouble getting Lickety up tonight. Have 7 left to go. Could I trouble you nice folks for "M" help? I have the angry one, the 2 wizard ones, the one you read and the one you add. Any help with the other 2?
okay rosewood! congratulations and good night!
yay nat!!
Fran - The God Warrior? No, we have a UK version of wife swap and so don't get the US one. She seemed KKK inclined to me - is this new swap a good idea?:( Incidentally, if you go on YouTube (which is where I found her) there's a very funny mix of her and the religious freak school bus driver from South Park. They are almost indistinguishable.

GG, eg5/14

how about eg5/16, plural exclamation?
I hate getting my kids all excited for nothing!
wow - sorry for the typos!

Oh dear!

Kemma is very excited to be watching the last 1/2 hour of the movie at least - thank goodness she is only 3!
I hate that tnc...I would be mad too!
Have changed my icon to show the Aussie Xmas cakes I made, so REFRESH if you want to see them.
the last half hour of the Jim Carrey movie?
she probably doesn't know the difference
ok...bk...clue for ch5/14 pls?
Cathyar - to burn but roll the last consonant.
right, the last 1/2 hour of the Jim Carrey movie, and she doesn't know the difference, so I guess it is okay. Ihave no idea what we are going to do from 7:30 to 8, though.
wow jac...they look like fruit hats the chiquita banana lady would wear!! It must have taken a long time to make them so elaborate...
jac, i can't get the close up view, only the small pic is refreshing
TNC - Draw pics of the Grinch!
ooh, now i see it...those look delicious!
great idea jac
those look good, jac!
im tired....:
ty...ch4/8 now pls? duh me...with 6 left n loosing energy quick
GG - Not really. Far quicker to make than the convential Christmas cakes. Those are done 3 months' in advance and 'fed' with sherry and then either brandy or whiskey. Then marzippaned, then iced and decorated.
*conventional
ch - the **es have it, cathy

I am going to check out sudoku...be back later
Finally got Lickety to come up. Could I ask for a clue for the te 4,4, please. It
Jacula - those cakes looks amazing and yummy!!
It's my last one!
GG - The booze in the convential Xmas cakes is added after cooking and so must be taken into account by drivers. The booze in the Aussie Xmas cakes (1 wineglass of brandy between the 2) is put in before cooking. Cooking kills the alchohol.
Damn! Done it again! * conventional
jan - you use it camping
gotcha jac...Just like cooking with wine, it just leaves the flavor, not the alcohol
as rachel ray would say...yum-o!!
Good heavens! I thought I'd entered that one ages ago! Thank you very much. Fireworks! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

te6/30 please
BettyAnne, sort of British slang for "itching for a fight"
still, one enjoys the sense of accomplishment, does one not, stid?
T + to enscribe with acid + sometimes vowel
yes indeedy-doo hurshy! :-)
hi babblers, everyone done?
Thanks stidmama. Helpful as always.
Hunting Cat has done anything newsworthy lately, Hursh. He's been a little to quiet lately, for him, in fact. Homely Cat sh*t in 2 places near the cooker 2 days ago. I didn't notice as I went to make brunch. Walked it all around the kitchen AND got it on my toes. BLEURGH!
hi Nat! BettyAnne is still working... stidmatt played and finished earlier! :-)
i asked stidmatt for some clues after he finished, even though i was done - i hope he didn't think i was teasing him.
*hasn't
hello Jacula.
ew ew ew ew ew jac!!!!
no, I think he was pleased that someone was interested in how he clues them!
yeah I saw him earlier when I was working on the grid
oh good, because that was my intent. :)
more long-distance phone calls -- no supper yet!! Back asap.
riemann is visiting, and we have him busy explaining all kinds of math and science things... stidgrant spent about a half hour talking about that Archimedes codex!
hi Jill!
*icky icky icky* blah, yuck. kitty cooties. *icky icky*
not you, Jill -- that last was for Jacula
Hi Stid. Glad to see you. Wanted to say that unless you can recieve about 40.2MB through your e-mail, I need your snail mail address for you to get a copy of the Crete Travelogue. Yes! It's done! At last!
woo-hoo! *celebratory cat-free confetti cascading constantly*
brb. dog needs love...
ooh, exciting about archimedes codex, yes :)
I was ever so tempted to go and buy one of the Jack Russell (sweet-looking Mum's) 9 pups today. I'm almost ready to have a dog again. Mind you, the 2 cats that have moved in? The one I love lived with dogs before anyway... the other, the 'swine'? I don't know.
LOL Jacula -- a friend's daughter has a jack russell -- he is a delightful, fun little guy.
Mind you, even the one I love, I spent 2 or 3 years denying.. though my ex-hubby is convinced she i a reincarnation of our old dog.
yes, and the telling of how the codex was found was really exciting! :-)
Our old dog would be HORRIFIED to be a cat in his new life!
okay, time for cookies and cider. Back later.
Stid - did you see what I said about snail mail or e-mail for the Crete thing?
oh -- yes, I did Jacula... snail mail is Expensive!! my email should be able to handle it, though. I'll send you my non-yahoo email. just a sec.
Okay, stid. Doing that through my e-mail and not ez(BabAnon) mail?
It's not that expensive, Stid. About £1.64 for airmail.
yes, Jacula, sent you an email though regular email
hi guys
Got that, Stid, tried to send travelogue. It failed and so I replied via another e-mail.
Hi smooth.
I have to get to sleep now. Stid, trust me, others have and no harm has come to them!
Other than having to read my Crete travelogue in 8-point print, that is! ROFLOL.
hey guys!
'Bye for 8 hours or so, everyone.
