you have to forgive licketty - it's been xmas day here & by this time (5:40pm) he's probably the worse for wear
Oh.. I am surprised there is even a babble up! I didn't realize it was done by hand. figured it was automatic
hello everyone - best wishes to you all on this Xmas day !
Babble is automatic, the stats and clues are not.

so in the event of armageddon, babble will still be up
g'day lynxxx - happy y'know
happier with the rain & snow?
jass
oops

TY - my lovely daughters name

thanks, lickety. I think once the holidays are over it will be easier. No one is hiring this week! Not in my field, anyways - most of the companies are even closed this week
Just popped in to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas - have a good one!

and to you lynxx!
happy Christmas MVA from the Devon/Cornwall border Gnite Oldhouse
any clues for ta 5/20??
where iain, was brought up in Bude?
MVA Chilsworthy nr Holsworthy
Hi Volley - just found - it uses the highest value letter in the middle and is plural
know holsworthy, small babble world!!
Been here nearly 6 yrs A lovley place when it is not raining
ty lynxxx .... found it!!!
lived in bude for 18 years, it is lovely whwn dry!!
very quiet at the moment no grockles
Or should that be emmets
was in stratton 2 weeks ago, felt like an emmet!
I still have several yrs to go to classed as non emmet
what are you talking about ! grockles/emmets - are they tourists or outsiders?
you do i'm afraid! my mum was scottish and was not considered a local for years and years
emmet is a cornish word for tourist, grockle is the devon version
Yes It is a local term, Visitors to Cornwal are emmets and Grockles is another word used
Emmets are ants, hence the use of the word to describe visitors
well at least they are cute words - are they used in a dismissive way or just mildly condesending?
MVA I also had a scottish mother so I have centuries to wait
could be a decade at least!
There is hope then
merry christmas all, any clues for the 7,s or 8,s please.
the latter i hope lynxx, cos cornwall, devon relies on the tourists for income!
It also depends if they are getting in the way As MVA says we need Emmets or the region would die
bbl, need to make some tea!
some of the 8s are el8; ph7.36 &8.50 (looks chemical); st7&8 (in a sneaky way); wr7&8. Thats all I know - if no clue given I don't have it yet. Sorry
thanks lynxxx.
BBL- need to get warm - this is a very cold and chilly day for Xmas! - but am NOT complaining
bye lynxxx!

South Florida is very warm and it is hard to be in the Christmas spirit when you are sweating but warm as it is we adapt and pretend it is winter.
Um its about 55 degrees fareinhite here im in aus
55 would be a cold snap here...people put on heavy coats when it below 55!
its the middle of summer hear and we had snow today
Amazing...we have had a light dusting of snow in Florida on a couple of occasions but nothing that lasted more than a few minutes.
Light and Peace to all of you, merry Christmas :) Doesn't Babble know we might have some other business today? 284??
My thought exactly Sprite. Merry Christmas!
Just had a look at the temperature on the terrace here - 3c and dark and miserable. Hey Ho who cares - just spoke to my darling four year old granddaughter and she brightens any day.
sprite - Merry Christmas to you! Message for you in BabAnon.
Sprite i have been there done that it looks like us southerns wn out
ANd did your grand daughter tell you what santa left her
Hi Jac, will check right away :)
I got wished Happy Christmas in English, Swedish and Spanish and she was so excited about everything.
Thanks Jac! Frances, that sounds so great. She must be adorable :)
y/w, sprite.
94 words left to find. 10 more mins. here and then I'd better feed cats, wake bunnies & guinea pigs up, shower & dress, wake grown-up kids, do vegs. etc., etc. LOL.
Yes sprite she is the very best thing that has ever happened to me. I was dreading retirement but now I look after her every day and we spend the whole day laughing.
That is a busy day you have there, Jac :)
A womans work is never done eh Jac. Especially at Christmas. Hope you enjoy it.
Enjoy Jac
Not a busy day really... just me and Paull for Xmas dinner. We're sharing a turkey leg. My kids will be off to their Dad's. Family dinner with roast pork etc., tomorrow.
*Paul. Oops!
So you'll have many preparations for tomorrow? Hope you and Paul have a great time, enjoy the peace :)
We will, sprite! Thanks.
Enjoy the peace jac
My phantom word today - Santa
how appropiate!
Frances - Satan's there.:(
but, luckily enough, he is not valid ;)
Yes - but which one to choose
Too true!
i like santa as satan is who comes to bad boys and girls
Merry Christmas, One and All ... but too many words for Christmas Day.
Hi Merk, Light and Peace to you, and yes, there are.
Okay. 84 words left to find. Maybe I'll come back for them later. (What am on talking about... 'maybe'? LOL) Have a good day, everyone, with lots of good food, drink, company & kisses under the mistletoe.:) Byeee!
hey merk i have already finished chrissy
have fun jac
*hugs Jac*
how are we all going
herinfern - If you've finished this grid, check my profile for the grids from the previous 3 Christmas days.
*hugs sprite back.* Going now. Byeee.
Would anyone care to clue me the 8 words so that I have a chance of finishing this before the family wakes up. It
s 4:40 am here at my son's.
cool thanks jac
i have a ph 8 and thats it
It sounds like a writting impliment and its chrismas so i /// a ham
OK Her, that means nothing to me.
Um ok PH - i write with a P// but add a H and add I a// a ham
the 5th letter is the vowel 3, or is that part of your clue of what you do to a ham?
Merk ph** + consumes
Duh, there is no i today!
Oh I've got it. I was thinking something about cooking the ham. But it's afternoon by you and you've already had your ham.
i dont think i can clue it any easier than that with out giving it away
Yes, I am awake here. Are there anymore 8s to clue from anyone. ty herin
not from me yet, but will start looking
I have not had ham but i had beef but i didn't know what else to say sorry if it was a bit dodgy
Thats all i have right now how many 8s are there?
hiya - a quick silly one - wr7.8 - change the first vowel in the macho-type sport played in a ring and started by the greeks
6
oh k
got it thanks lynxx good clue
S88/45: start with taking something that doesn't belong to you. Make in into something very quiet and secretly. Then plural.
lyn you can plural that for an eight
I am eating a crisp/chip sandwich
That was a great clue!
sprite, you lost me
:) S88/45 should be S8/45, though
and my only other one st7.32 & 8.45 - to move in a sneaky way - grows on the 5 to rob. (bye - gotta find some shops open)
Sorry Sprite - just saw you had clued that too!
that is the same one, my clue and lynxxx. Perhaps that helps?
Got it. Thanks so much. Anyone have any others out there. Great clues this morning, gang.
nope im lost
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Ata is not on line, but she is almost in the grid. At8/40: drop a vowel and pluralise.
derr i dot it
Herin, do the st 5 clue that was given ... to rob ... and you will automatically get the rest of the words.
i think there is fish shortage
sprite can i be checky and get more help
Also Ce8/45. Ce4/5 + E4/4
ty, a beautiful at clue, provide we know atl.
For which one, lady?
The at clue was great. I'm checking out the ce now
the at 8
I'll find the ce later after I get the 4 and e word. ty
At8: At + home network for computer + first 3 letters of to try out.
the C4 is a coin, also related to 100.
got it ta
thanks for the clues
there was 6 eights is that right?
At40, Ce45, EL40, Ph50, St45, Wr60
got the ce 8, phew! ty
good job, Merk :)
Is there an el 8 clue out there?
No, good job, Sprite. You've shortened my day here.
E + not first + misspelled highest card
Shortened your day? While the days are finally lengthening again? *hits self over the head for doing something soooo stupid* :)
thanks
e+ not first ... you lost me on the "not first"
When you are not first, you can be the .....

Dr. G made too long of a grid for Christmas.
I wonder if he even pays attention to the size.
this is why being in AUs pays off. We have already opened the presssies and annoyed the rellies
sh 6,21 please
nope ing i think he presses the shake button and we get a grid
sh6/21 = old Yiddish word for small Jewish settlement or community in eastern Europe. Only contains one vowel.
and how do I google that one?
I know the word but dont know how to spell it!!!
thanks anyway jacula; I'll keep monkeying. I'm assuming then that the third letter is not the vowel
I got it; I just had to pretend to be Jewish.
Merk go to wikepedia
Merk - paste my definition into Google (without the sh6/21 part) and you'll find a site called 'Holocaust History' about halfway down page. Word is there.
tx Jac, got it now
y/w. 'Pretend to be Jewish.' LOL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_l anguage

So is Christmas going for everyone? Are your girls having fun, Kate?

Oh, so how was it, lady?
they were scrabbler, now they're all whining, typical isn't it
tell them youll get santa straight on the fone and hell take the presents to someone that wont whine
Yup, Kate, I remember those days, playing with the new toys for a while, then getting bored or breaking the toys, and wishing for even more presents.
LOL lady
do you have any idea how that used to work for me, keep them amused by rewraping boxes to let them go nuts
Didn't they figire out they were opening the same stuff again?
you tell them there the same stuff but its still fun destroying more wrapping paper, boxes are the best presents
Anybody have the P words?
yes ok give me a sec

Merry Christmas, movieman.
Now, I know there's rather a lot of them, but seeing as it's the season of goodwill and all, would anyone be kind enough to chuck a few cluez for the 7's and the 8's my way plz?

th 6,24 please
I am looking for it too, Merk.
Found it = an article + 3 letter abbrev. for the most populated state.
Did you get it Scrabbler?
Yes, got it now. I had stepped away.
That can be a th5 by removing the last letter.
For a brief second there I thought we could finally use the p tile in a 'typ' something. But alas, no. I it was a wasted tile today.
Oops, I used a word there, didn't I? I found it so long ago this morning, I forgot about it.
I wouldn't have noticed, but I have now found wa5 and wa6
Are there 2 anl5 and anl6's? I found an + opp of first
Another th6= article + St Louis Cardi***s
There is only on an 6
there are two 7
OK, then I found those, there must have been 2 different clues
wr 7 and 8 ... a sport performed by men in a ring. In Japan it is sumo wr....., but change the first vowel.
Oh, there is another an6--I didn't get that
Good clues, Merk
Fireworks!
Wow, Merk, good work!
I have 157 to go, and must go to the office for a couple of hours now, just in case any kiddoes are really sick. I hope to continue Babble there.

8 T's to go
excellente
all ta's, but from three different t's. This should focus the mind...
or madden it
well, yes, but on Christmas I try to think the glass is half full
on christmas the glass should always be empty - drink up!
hursh is right, may no drink remain undrunk
and may no drunk block the light in my doorway
does anyone have the EL8? is it totally weird or is it related to something or what?
its not related to anything
is it a word people are likely to have heard of?
I wouldn't think so, but it sounds like something
ok, cool, what's it sound like?
ends with the same letter it begins with
el 8 sounds like something that stretches like a rubber band
well, assuming I would really know how to pronouce it correctly, it sounds like it is talking about the stuff that makes the top of snowpants fit, sort of
el8= a pancreatic enzyme, think of what a rubber band is el***ic + enzyme ending
el 8 -- first 5 of the expanding substance used for waist clothing and you find clothes in a suitc***
ooh goody i was going for that
well, yeah, sure if definitions help...
i just didn't know it could be enzymey
some of my best friends are enzymey
excellent clues one and all :)
ph 8 anyone please
Wow. Making up words and it is accepting them...
i love when that happens
I love when that happens
- minus hy plus consumed
snap scrabbler :)
82 to go--time to head home. See you later.
3 ta's left, one for each square. Gee, too bad I wasn't trying to do this on purpose
one ta 5 uses the j letter!
yes, just found that one
so you need tas from the other two t
s
down to one. excitement mounts.
how about t + to be astounded + an extra consonant in next to last place
it was sauce for the fish (to continue the drinking theme)
German word for cup? add a consonant for a 6
ok, is that Firewords for you?
the barbarian horde takes me over the top (it helps to remember what words actaully mean instead of waht I think they mean)

you are both welcom, glad to help
I mean how much more can you do with a spice???
I have the 1st ca7.32 - is there an easy way of turning it into the one immediately following?
lynxxx they are similar just change the next to last letter to a different vowel
happy day, all! Just stopping by, not sure I want to play.
the c's were brutal as usual
thanks peri
Oh, stay and play with us, Stid!
HI there stid, how is your Christmas going
YW lynxxx
Hello Stid - best not if you are short of time - a bit testy
please play, it is a pretty nice grid stid
we are having a nice quiet day. Just sitting around watching TV. Good to have Tom home.
Okay, I'll dip my foot in peri :-) Thanks for the warning lynxxx.
missing the last three sa words
NM just found them
I am here if you need help stid, some tricky ones as usual
up to 23 already peri! really zooming along! LOL
Merry Christmas for those celebrating today.
HI CJ, long time no see!
{{{{JUDY}}}} how are you? miss you...
Hi, Peri! Been very busy with a sick Dad and heavy work schedule.
{{{{STUD}}}}}
Oops! LOL Stid
sorry to hear aout your dad CJ
oh uh!
Thx Peri. I've been doing the grids daily but usually don't have much time to chat. Making dinner right now for the family.
Hi Judy - so good to see you!
Hiya Lynxxx! Thx. Good to "see" all of you too.
oh Judy -- sorry your dad's not doing better. *offers cookie and hot bracing tea*
CJ is your dad at home
Yes, Peri. He really is doing pretty well--he's beaten cancer 3 times, but it has now movd to his bones and is incurable.
He celebrated his 80th birthday in November. Thx, Stid. *munching on cookies and sipping tea*
(((((((CJ and CJ's DAD)))))))))
Thx, Peri. *sniff*
CJ do you have hospice people coming in
wow Judy -- is he comfortable, at least? My grandad was comfortable, just weak when his lung cancer spread.
Peri, he's not there yet. Really doing well, honestly. Having radiation right now and will start chemo in January. My sisters and I took him to NY in November to Radio City for the Christmas show.
Wow did he enjoy the trip to NY
He's still driving. Fortunately, it is his prostate cancer that has spread and it is a slow moving cancer. He has tumors in his back, rib and shin.
Loved the trip to NY. I pushed him in a wheelchair (good arm exercise, LOL)
So, how's everybody ELSE doing???
so Judy -- what smells so good in your kitchen? We're just having our brunch now -- fresh coffee cake.
Anyone have any clues for the P words?
ahhh, coffee cake. Eye roasts in the crock pots along with kielbasa (polish sausage); stuffing, mashed potatoes, a bunch of veggies. Come on over!
Judi - sounds chemical - ends in past tense of to eat & plural
got it lynxx. Glad Judi asked for the clue!
*wiping drool off keyboard* happy with all of it except "eye" roasts (we're watching Pirates of the Caribbean #2, lots of eyeballs)
LOL, Stid
TY, Lynxxx
thanks also Lynxxx!
Just noticed... if we had an "i", we could all have som wassail.
28 left, bbl
cu later Peri. Thx for the kind words.
what is in wasail, is it like mulled wine
What the heck, Judi, let's have wassail anyway!
bye Peri
It's pretty potent stuff, Peri. Not sure what all is in it, but sounds nasty to me.
later peri, thanks!
the little birds finally found the suet I hung on the tree outside my window, and it's drawing in nuthatches, goldfinches, jays and chickadees...
Wassail: Recipes vary, but usually call for a base of either wine, fruit juices (apple being popular), or ale simmered with mulling spices, possibly fortified with sherry or spirits such as brandy. Fruit pieces such as roasted apples or fresh orange slices are sometimes added to the mixture as well. In northern Europe, oranges once enjoyed the status of a novelty Christmas fruit.
awesome Stid. I've had a flicker at my bird feeder this past week.
Wow, Judi. You're right--potent stuff.
We have lots of flickers in our woods, they are so beautiful!
*yawns* We get flickers all the time, Judy. Actually had a pilated woodpecker last week. Was huge, and was bashing out large chunks of bark from one of our treens.
good for you, Judi! I don't get those wonderful special varieties here at home but have seen them during my birding excursions.
*grin* I like the birds... they keep me company in the dry weather when I am gardening.
Where are you in PA, Judy? I'm in northern Delaware.
Judy and Judi, if you ever come West to Washington, let me know. There are some good birding excursions my mother knows about.
I'm in central PA, Judi. I've been to Blackwater and I can't remember the name of the other wildlife refuse in DE.
Would LOVE to do that Stid.
*refuge
Gee, I better chat more often. I can't seem to type anymore. LOL
I've been down to Chincoteague in VA a lot of times.
We live near the Middle Run Natural Area - literally the hundred acre woods. Many many creatures scampering about.
Just peeking in and see babblers I haven
*smiling at Judy* chat-typing is really different from grid-typing, I find!
t wished Frohe Weihnachten yet.
how wonderful, Judi.
{{{INGE}}} how's the stollen? Frohe Weihnacten!!!!
Happy Holidays Inge!
Hya, stid and Judy and Judi
We love it. See animals every day. Deer, fox, rabbits, skunks (could do without them), countless birds.
I kept two stollen for us, gave away all the others. Saving tlhem for when the girls come next month.
I have a number of friends that "go birding". Love it. Wish I could do it full time. LOL
Bloodaxe checked in two dasy ago from Dresden. He had eaten The REAL thng and toured the reconstructed cathedral.
I'm not a birder. Just can't help but spot them around here. Tons of jays, cardinals, blue birds, nuthatches, warblers in the summer.
oh, they will be lovely by then, inge!
So good you heard from him, inge! I haven't been on as much as usual with the boys home from school. What a cool experience he must be having.
My mother has been birding -- I have been too busy being a "mom"
Is Bloodaxe on vacation or studying or something else??
And he is spending Newyear in Poland!
Well, when I come to Washington we'll go birding, Stid.
He is on vacation from school in Morocco, Judy, and a friend from Germany invited him up while school was closed.
What a wonderful experience for him.
Bloodaxe is studying in Morocco. He couldnt stay on campus for the holidasy and he didnt feel save in their hotels. So he took a $100 flight to a friend's house in Drseden, Germany. Crazy eh?
Sounds like a bargain, Inge. A small price to pay for safety.
Good for him, Inge. What an opportunity to learn different cultures.
I don't think he knows a word of German, but he is learning Arabic. Those palestinian refugees in Germany can give him directions!!!
Well, better get back to my cooking duties. Merry, Merry to everyone! (Raining here right now, but I'll take it over the snow)
Yes, I have to pop out for a while, too. Prepping the evening me for just me and hubby. Filet mignon.
{{{Judy}}} be well, will keep you and your father in my heart!
Michigan just is verrrry cloudy, supposed to change to snow tonight.
later Judi!
*meal*
bye Judy & Judi
need clue for a la4 and I'm sure la5 is plural - have the frilly stuff, street, girl, not first, not on time, coin, wood strip and rules......argh !!!
well, at least you're more used to snow, inge! LOL an inch today would mess things up again for days!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!
nevermind - just found it - duh
{{{MAMABEAR}}} wonderful to see you!
Good to see you too, stid! Just popping in to say hello and wish everyone a good holiday!
want to share oldhouse?
Merry Christmas to you, too, Mamabear
And to you, inge!
does that give you all the la's oldhouse? I lost track, but I have them all if you need help
the elusive la stid is a light - or easier way la + another word for ocean - last letter then plural
thanks! that's now 101 words for me!
yeh stid !!!
go stid, go!!!
107...
and at 111 I am taking a break. Back later (probably much later...) Enjoy your holiday, all!
bye stid, I have to find a sweater to keep me warmer. and then write a letter. I'll be in and out. Buy
*bye*

Hi everyone - happy holidays!!!
Please clue the last sh
last sh is a Jewish village
second sh 6/21 = sh + (fill in missing word in the following) Vietnamese *** Offensive + 11th letter of alphabet.

Hi Ren same to you
Thanks gramma, little boy gone to bed now so thought I might have a little go
it's fun so far ( : good luck!
it actually looks like a nice grid even though it is quite big
Hi everyone. Merry Christmas!
right back atcha bittong
Hi Biltong, same to you. I think there is only 3 of us here at the mo
Are you done, ren8 and gramma?
I have only just come on at 9.30 but have 61 words already
oh no 103 left, just using the list
the first 150 or so came easy
I probably won't stay long. Just going to find the easy words and then off to bed!!
What about you
cool happy babbling then ( :
ty :)
did the chat freeze or are people just quiet right now?
hi stid. Merry Christmas!
quiet, busy busy babbling here ( :
hi Biltong! right back atcha! how has the day been for you?
Had a wonderful day. First Christmas with all three my children together in about 4 years. It has been really great. And how has your day been?
oh, that sounds lovely, Biltong! My parents are out of town so it's been Tom and me and the kids and the dogs... a lovely quiet day with no stress. Just what I needed!
Good. Glad you had a relaxing day.
yep. now if only the grid would cooperate! LOL
How far are you with the grid now, stid?
I need 111 more words. Just got the strange CA 7s
how about you?
I started a short while ago and only have 70 words. I definitely don't plan to finish. Too tired!
Hi Stid, glad you have had a good day
hello ren8! me too -- how about you?
Well, it's a lot later for you, Biltong! My first goal was just 100 words... but then I started around 10 am my time, so I have plenty of chances to grab words today
i have a 3 yr old so a very full on day for us
yes, those were busy times for us, too -- is it your 3-year old who was feeling so poorly last night?
not mine, we were at my mums yesterday having our christmas day as she is going on holiday tomorrow, lucky her
Can somebody clues the p's please? Must be ph's, right?
well good -- at least you don't have to worry about your kid then! LOL where is your mum going on holiday?
yes Biltong, ph + e 5/10 and its plural
ty stid
she is going to Eygpt for 2 weeks, you don't know whos child was so poorly then
I can't remember -- it was someone on close to the flip, so maybe someone on the U.S. east coast. Egypt sounds exotic and warm/dry... I hope your mum has fun.
Everything all seems to blend together sometimes in chat.
lets hope the child is feeling better today
yippee! down to 100. time to go grab my parents' paper and check the house. Back later to finish. Biltong and ren8, enjoy the rest of your day!
yes ren8 -- sick little ones are no fun, and it's always worrisome.
ty, stid, and the same to you!
later all!
Cheers Stid, you to have a good day too
bye stid
are you still here Biltong
Yes, ren8. Got 109 words and starting to slow down already!
Ive got 107 now and slowing also
Are you planning to complete the grid, ren?
probably not, reckon my little boy could be up early tomorrow, what about you
No, I am really tired. I can't believe I actually don't feel like it, lol
sometimes I cannot be bothered but once I get started I want to finish
That's normally how I feel.
must be all the christmas cheer that has finally got to us all
Yes, it really is exhausting! Why do we do this to ourselves every year? lol
Merry Christams from Sera and Cybernan
hey everyone, happy merry merry christmas!

How do you celebrate Boxing Day?
Hello everyone.
hey hey, so has anyone seen who was named idiot of the year by the washington post??? he he he.
not me.
laura mallory, the dufus who is trying to ban harry potter books from school libraries because they are evil and promote wicca. never mind that she has never read the books herself.
Clue for the first je4/9 please?
by having an easy day after the Christmas rush ztink
je 4/9 levis
I plan to enjoy the afternoon trying to teach two 3 year old granchildren how to pedal new tricycles
I'm against Laura Malloroy. I love Harry Potter!
ty, bookwomen. We have just said goodbye to a babbler named je**, lol
me too momo, I'm an older fan
I could sure use a Boxing Day
ztink, isn't boxing day universal?
plural for 5 the easy ones are sometimes the hardest to find lol
what is it zTink?
what do you call the day after Christmas
If I may add my opinion, I agree with Laura Malloroy.
The day after Christmas is also called Family Day in some countries, I think
have you read Harry bittong
You stink bittong!
lol, most people [ not me] have had enough of families by boxing day
No, Andree. I have seen write ups and trailers for the movies and formed my opinion that way.
but, no arguments, to each his own :)
sorry bittong...i do love harry
I may have done the same without my older Grandchildren but I have read them all and love them, the real fairies flying around the huge Christmas tree will stay in my head forever
Fair enough :)
ha ha ha...not against your opinion, only it's so hard to get kids to read today with the tv and computer and video games for competition.
yes, it is difficult to encourage them to read these days.
Bittong, ever heard you can't judge a book by the cover? [snicker]
ha ha
You mean it!
even my nephew...who reads nothing...and it attached at the hands to his video game controller, reads them...so if it builds that skill...i say go for it.
lol. Agreed. Video games are even worse! Although, there is some skill involved, lol.
those kids have the fastest thumbs in the west...
It is quite sad that so many parents allow their children to entertain themselves with the likes of television and video games
My son beats my husband in video games and my husband swears so much I want to leave the house.
i refuse to buy my nephews the video games, this year they got air cannons from me. and a huge hit too.
Great! How old are your nephews, nut?
I agree bittong, we are all avid readers and so far my granchildren with the exception of master 9 are keen readers
master 9, i love that, that's so cute.
the 11 week old isn't doing too well though, lol
one is twelve and one 6
lol, Andree
Hello everyone - season's greetings
Hi Angb, and to you too!
hiya angb
hi angb, did you have a nice Christmas, i bet the kids did
Did santa bring you everything you wanted?
my son is 10, my husband 50
No :( I wanted a puppy and guess what?
Happy Holidays
What?
I didn't get one!
yes what?
You didn't get a kitten did you? (Sorry cat lovers)
saw a great saying, "if you are looking for Christmas under the tree you won't find it"
awwww dangit?
awwww dangit?
awwww dangit?
oops
quite right, Andree!
"it has to be in your heart"
No, Angb, not even a kitten :)
Can I get a clue for the last al /?
This is the 2nd time that happend
That's sad Biltong. Further proof that you should get your own gifts.
Sorry, number lock was on, al 5/10.

Very last one, after the beer.
oh, sorry. Don't have that one, then.

I got lovely presents but the nicest was a long speech from my son extolling my vitues as a Granma and saying they could not have had their babies without me, I need to take him aside and give him a birds and bees talk, lol
lates is not there
lol. That's lovely, Andree. You obviously are a great Granma then!
I drug 5 kids to 7 Christmas parties, 4 of them were on my birthday yesterday. My Mom is really sick, as well as my two grandmas, so I had to wrap and cook for them. Needless to say, it was a long day. I still love seeing all my family together and the kids had a great Christmas though. I'm very tired and looking forward to tomorrow!
a hands on one anyway bittong
Well done, bunny. You really had your hands full!

Merry Xmas everyone: clue please for the very first cr 5 letter word. Thought it would be the singular of the 6 right after but not taking it. Thanks

not too bad. today was actually more relaxing than yesterday. we got to stay home all day, yay! mom and mary (mom's partner) and mary's dad came over for christmas dinner/lunch, which my mom cooked here.
We stayed home today, too, feather, and it was lovely. Need to send all relatives out of town every year! *cunning smile*
hehe!
aknitter ec5 not early but opp. minus the last letter then plural
ec 5 --- be on time; you don't want to be ***e and plural for the 6

i was so tired from yesterday, i went to bed at 9, yet got insomnia from 2:30 to 4:30. came out to the computer and did the grid from 3 to 4:30am.

you got it, Scrabbler... but I am also eating salami and the protein or fat seem to buffer the sweets.
Oh dear, sorry.
well, i'm either more used to it or managing my blood sugar levels better. trying to eat something every 2 hours, even if just a few cheese and crackers.
thx babble and anitter
yes, that seemed to help a lot for me too -- so glad I am well past that stage of my life!
No doubt, inadvertantly putting words in the chat will change the world as we now know it.
Don't be sorry Scrabbler any help is goooood!!!
ok, time for lickety soon. at least i'm over halfway.
i for one am shocked and horrified -- gasp
en 7/28 please

Bye Andree
the story in my family is that my great aunt met her husband when she was walking with a friend and two sailors came up behind. One said, "You take the one with the run in her stocking, and I'll take the one with the dirty neck." Marriage lasted a long time.
later Andree!
lol, great story
So romantic, stid. lol
Was your aunt the one with the run or the dirty neck?
Great pickup line
hehe, that's good stid
whew. got them all entered in lickety now. that took a while.
Wasn't it cool? she was a WAC -- I think that was the equivalent of ExWren. I think she had the run in her stocking, actually!
First cr6,21?
My husband hooked me with the old, "Don't I know you from somewhere?".
And it is enough to make one insane, featherbee.
It looks like cracked glass or the crinkly bits on an old painting, Scrabbler, only an alternate spelling
I think the cr 6 is usually spelt with a z.
and -- did he bunny?
Got it now--TY bunny
Just had dinner...now I'm back.
No, it was just the best he could stutter into.
cr 6 - c + he e***** and washes the chalkboard daily
But, it worked!
hello momof adam!
Welcome momofadam
any sh word finds?
hmmm...help with the last al5/10?
Just between us, Tom snuck up on me as my best friend and by the time I realized I was in love it was too late to run!
al 5/10 - what you get married at
i found a sh5/12
I have that one, feather, monkey is not finding any others...
ty bunny
That's always the best way. Stephen is my best friend. In fact, he's my only friend now that I think about it.
My mother's family in Scotland was part of **** Davidson
There are 5 sh's.
I have a few good friends, but Tom is the best... though he's not as interested in going clothes shopping as I would like! *grin*
os 6 please
May peace, hope and love be with you all today, tomorrow and always.
sh 6/21 - if you were stranded on an island you would need to build a sh***er + eyel**h
os 6 - o plus a theft
I was trying to explain how it worked to my 14-year-old son, about how the **** would come to the aid of its families, and he replied "Oh, so it was like gangs."
okay, no use asking why a New Jersey accent made it into the grid, but thanks bunny!
astute lad, you've got, Douglas!
JA5/24? help please.
got the os ty -- sounds like what an an irish thief would do
only most people say that gangs replace the families...
I like that os 6, on account of the five letter and four letter suffixes are words also
bah, getting tired of doing the grid. that's rarely happened!
ja 5 -- to say ty to s 3 letter gorls name
Yup, remove the plural for the 6, that was the 7. Add sometimes vowel to the sh***er for another 6.
thanks stid, I considered that a perceptive answer myself...
oops meant girls
actually, getting tired of being hung up on 4/4s and 5/10s
feather, you're tired -- it's what, 9 pm back there?
yep, it is
as5/10?
so that would explain gridanoia...
aknitter, I didn't follow.
ja 7 - add woman's underoos : a pa***
lol, gridanoia
I have 47 to go and fading fast. Want to take the kids out to look at lights. probably head out soon.
as 5/10 - butt + alien on flying bike
erg. thanks again bunny.
First 2 ca7,32's??
Ooo, monkey found one
TY
the other is ismilar Scrabbler
ca 7 - add onto the ca 4/5 before with the same three last letters again, the other has a different vowel 2nd to the end
ca7 - a ca** of beer has 24 bottles and add a c*** of beer
Monkey found the other--both start with ca4,4 then + enzyme ending and other is sugar ending
One of those funny words they say when the Supreme Court gets to work...
C's are done. 22 to go.
or similar... that's my clue to take a break. Down to 45. See you later -- except you, Scrabbler, I expect you to be getting plenty of bed rest and fluids! *worried mama look* Hope you feel better quickly
bye all!
night stid! merry christmas!
Bye Stid
i think i'm packing it in soon too.
Ready for bed, but I feel that with 22 left I should finish
Scrabb, are you sick? There must be a Babble virus going around.
Started 12/21 PM and flared up again today--nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain
What would your doctor say, Scrabbler?
yeah. i'm done. 105 left, oh well! night.
Good night, featherbee
Night Feather
Rest, fluids....don't work....LOL
Bye feather--off to your crib!
About how I fell, but chest pains instad of abdominal, coughy sneezy Dayquil add.
for the jd's the say goes the a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client
But I'd rather have myself for a doctor than some of what is out there.
ubiquitous traveling by ocean liner
The kiddos are insured, so they have doctors. Stephen and I have none, so we use over-the-counter remedies. He wouldn't go to a doctor anyway.
3rd and 4th ra5,10 + ra6,18??
ra + to color at the beach, plural
Risky, bunny--find some coverage if you can. A severe illness or injury would wipe you out financially

I've only done 85 words, have neither :(
I have one Crone, what kings and queens live in
with that count on the ja, you'd think it would be easy but I am stymied
Hi everyone....dorens, the ja5 rhymes with women's underwear pa***
I don't know if it the first ones or not; not working with a list
when you have the one i gave you crone, then chage the the second to last vowel
Hi JeeWhiz

Dorens don't know how else to clue but rhymes with slanty I know its easy but its late
thanks jeewhiz and merry christmas to you too!

plural of map book for the 7
wow, thanks....too many a's and too many s's in this grid.
the 8 sounds a lot like babble player at***** from england, but missing the second vowel in her name

at 8 is like the underwater place....change the last vowel

is it called cheating on this game when you go and click all the words for like th 8 letter long words that you need help with?
if it works for you rose you can do whatever you want.

oh! 19!
TEN!

thnx
{{{{RENNIE}}}}}
*grin* I figured, with you being such a good cook, and all!
((((judy))))
ROFL me, a good cook??? OMG
(Judy doesn't realize how good "kielbasa" sounded earlier)
Hey, Stid! I'm Polish, Italian & PA Dutch!! I may not be a good cook, but I sure know how to eat!! LOL
sounds like a lot of garlic in your family tree, Judy! LOL
and a lot of good recipes!
*breathing on Stid*
I'm mostly Irish and German... lots of potatoes!
recipes, ren?? My mother and grannies never used recipes. That's the problem--I can't cook without them!
i'm jewish and native american
and cabbage... *wilting slightly under Judy's breath*
hello all!
i love garlic....ahhhhhhhh and corn
about this much flour until it feels "right" and salt and pepper to taste, then mix in milk and butter, and bake in a hot oven until it starts to turn brown...
hey ya kierlex
hello kierlex!
how was everybody's day?
hiya kierlex
Jewish/Native American cuisine... what might one call a restaurant like that? Kosher Korn?
i use the think system to cook...i think about it
it was quiet -- just what I needed!
and you?
hahahah yup - good idea stid!!!
ahh, we have an 8 yr old boy and a 4.5 year old girl. Not quiet! We had a great day, though.
great idea, Ren. *thinking about the think system*
nope, not at that age... LOL but it does get quieter with time!
the last en 7 pls
brb
yeah, and then i'll probably miss the chaos =)
just like the others phand -- en + cons after s + same ending as previosu
or previous
man! i still can't believe the godfather of soul is dead!
thnx
maybe kierlex -- of course you can always go crazy and start throwing holiday get-togethers... *shudder, thinks about hiding in closet until New Year's is over*
that is sad, pappa! My Tom was sad, too. He was such a ground-breaker!
oh, i prefer small groups. plus we have a small house...
he was... i know he was old... but man...
we can all use good news. Chocolate is GOOD for you! here's a link to the CNN article... http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEA LTH/12/20/health.chocolate/index.html
he wasn't that old, pappa... but he had pneumonia and maybe waited too long to see the doctor.
i love chocolate.....
welll... 73 isn't old old, but certain;y not young... especially considering his drug history
okay, I'm back. last of the leftovers in the frig/freezer. will deal with remainder of dishes later today. thank goodness I'm off work. phew!
well true -- drugs can do that to a person. Maybe the way to get young people to reconsider using them is how fast it can age them! After all, who wants wrinkles and a saggy face?
lol yeah!
good for you Judy -- getting a day off and getting the food put away. I am still trying to think what I'll eat for supper... we mince on things all day then it gets late and I need something a bit more substantial.
hello
actually, I don't mind my wrinkles much, figure I've earned them -- but I wouldn't have wanted to look like this when I was thirty!
merry christmas to you all, hope you all have had a nice day. I certainly did!
hello harp! did you have a white christmas?
hiya Harp!

nite pappa! sweet dreams
sweet dreams, pappa! see you tomorrow!
so Tea, how was it?
thanks guys... see you on the flip side!
carazy! the kids got lots of mad loot, they really enjoyed this one, especially, Tea!
the 1st sa 7 pls
We still have one more Christams to do with huby's extended family next Saturday so there is still yet to come.
40 more words
sa ** + picnic pest
I tried that !
wow. Yes, she's just the right age, isn't she? *grin*
go phand go!
Plus, Tea decided that this was the time to start potty training again, that's our present from her. I think she's finally getting it!
well had an s instead of t
after today's loot, my sister swears she'll need to add an addition on. *nephew is 4 yrs old*
try again. the second sa 7 is like a superlative...
Eventually the loot "per piece" becomes so expensive that the numbers diminish exponentially.
Then sister can start quietly eliminating toys that aren't played with any more.
yes, we do, too! We have been culling toys for a month or so now, so we were somewhat prepared.
I love Freecycle.
you're right Stid, but that's a few years down the road yet.
sister already quietly removes toys but since he's the only "kid" of the nieces and nephews, he gets ALL the loot! LOL
Plus, we are starting to move Crackers to his own room, so we need toget a bed for him, plus separate the play room into two bedrooms.
oh man -- double whammy! LOL
just wanted to say a quick "Merry Christmas" to all the babblers out there!!!
wow -- is it that time already, Tea? he sure is growing fast!
youngest next to the 4 year old will soon be 19!
merry christmas eb!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to you, too, EasternBlue
{{{EASTERN BLUE}}}} I have missed you and your cheery icons so much! are you well?
need help with the se 6's pls
sort of - it's an ongoing process. Tea isn't totally in her room yet, but he likes to be with her, so we were thinking if we could get them to sleep together, we might get our bed back. Plus my sister needs the crib, as she is due to have twins in a couple of weeks.
se 6: a spooky group meeting where a medium summons spirits, then plural
Merry Christmas, EB
{{{{{{{stidmama}}}}}} {{{{{{{{rennie}}}}}}}} {{{{{{{All!!}}}}}}}}}
se 6/33: se + last ja - last letter
Stidmama - yes...just been very busy at work....not as much time to Babble...
se 6/18: smaller house of the legislative branch; then plural
(sadly, I might add!!)
we miss you eb!
I understand, EB -- I remember you said it would happen, but of course the weekends I am so often busy that I am not on when you are! :-) glad you dropped by this evening.
well...hubby just got off the phone with his sister...we're going to open some remaining holiday cards...
happy christmas everyone ! just got in from a very, very long day of visiting, visiting, visiting, visiting :)
stidmama- i haven't even been on over the weekends!!
happy day to you, too, hk
Merry Christmas HK!

Hi Judy
I hope tomorrow is peaceful... I have an early morning doc appt then might take the kids out for a bit. We stayed home today and it was lovely and calm.
i'm going to a book store
how lovely - calm is not in one daughter's vocabulary - she's the whirlwind!
hi, flosey!
hit TnC hope you've enjoyed a nice Christmas
we had a great one! Tea is just the right age to really get it, so it was fun!
I bet, how well I remember
now, Ren? Do you have all nite bookstores?
I was thinking of that, too ren! We gave the kids gift certificates to a bookstore...
How old is Tea?
she is 3
i mean tomorrow judy...sorry - nothing but harry's is open today
great idea stid
I think I want tomorrow to be about 134...
great age for Santa TnC!
nothing open here today (as it should be)
that would be a nice size stid
i want about 25
she really got into it - we made cookies, she picked the special ones for him, and we forgot to put them out before she went to bed!
but, we ate them and left crumbs for her, so it was okay/
what's the smallest grid ever?
LOL ren! if it were that small they'd be really really hard to find
