that's not so bad -- not from an Idaho point of view... but watch out for the wimpy west-siders who don't know how to drive in slick stuff.

12:12 am

love tion endings! :)

12:13 am

I just got a b 6/7 combo! *really big grin*

yeah, stid. my hubby drove over during that bad storm when there was a thursday game and he said they were behind someone going up snoqualmie that was slipping and sliding and they drove up next to him and said 'ARE YOU IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE' and they guys said 'oh. yeah. good idea' BWAHAAA.

12:14 am

gnite wolfie

12:15 am

12:15 am

good nite gw

histid & fran and everyone - I'm still a sleepy couch potato but coming along. daughter's boyfriend got me "Curb Your Enthusiasm" dvds - good gift for recuperating!

12:15 am

keep wanting bastion

12:15 am

are you sick, melon??

12:15 am

me too ata!

12:15 am

ROFL!!!! I have front-wheel drive vehicles for steering control, but people over here get 4WD and then forget it doesn't help them, STOP!

12:16 am

melon - so it all went well, then?

12:16 am

yeah, it doesn't do much on ice. this was in snow, though. can you believe it? i mean it's not rocket science...

12:17 am

we haven't had an 11 letter for ever!

12:17 am

i asked him if they guy was driving a Humvee but he was only driving a ford explorer... i can't believe all the hummers over here. ridiculous

12:17 am

well it might as well be, for some people! (rocket science, that is) and an ex-boyfriend of mine really is a rocket scientist... LOL so I have something for comparison!

almostest {sigh} - my phantom is anisette - my favorite after dinner sip.

12:18 am

lots of people with more money than brains, kierlex, not like us, the virtuous "more brains than money" types!

12:18 am

*just realizing that might give people the impression I live in a cardboard box with my brains*

12:18 am

i love it over here/seattle area but i couldn't handle the traffic. or the cost of food, for godsakes milk costs twice as much!

12:18 am

hey ata, obi wan's here too :)

12:18 am

yes, i will always have more brains than money. LOL.

12:19 am

yes, prices in Seattle are scary. Other westside places aren't that bad, but it's still more expensive than the other side of the mountains. In my humble opinion, worth every penny! LOL

12:19 am

12:35 am

do

12:35 am

yes please, melon...

12:36 am

well the root has to do with youth, I believe - then stick a pretty long suffix on it - the 8, 10, & 11 are related

12:36 am

what are the first two letters melon?

12:36 am

starting letter is.... ???

12:37 am

he

hmmm, that's not the definition on dictionary dot com, but those 1st 4 letters are the minor Greek godess of youth.

12:38 am

fabulous words!

12:38 am

12:45 am

i think just any celebration

12:45 am

when vowels run together, they contract

12:46 am

i don't think i've blinked in the past 15 minutes =)

12:46 am

hursh, that actually makes sense.

12:47 am

blink kier! blink.

12:47 am

my contacts have withered to dried husks...

12:47 am

my linguistics class comes in handy sometimes

blink, kier, blink!!!!

12:48 am

might be time to get my glasses on... oh yeah. let out my inner nerd.

12:48 am

i was going to warn you about that kier. someone i know pulled out their dry contact lenses and took part of their cornea with it!!

12:49 am

eww.

12:49 am

rehydrate before you take them out if they are really dried out.

12:49 am

fran - ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww & ouch!

12:49 am

Query for the evening: Does babble improve or degrade your spelling??

12:49 am

not shur kier

12:50 am

:-)

12:50 am

lol fran

12:50 am

fonix for dumeez

12:51 am

i did the thing with the cornea and the contacs. both eyes. hospital, blindfolds, no sight for over a week.

12:51 am

it probably increases your vocabulary, but with all the alt spellings you'll confuse other people.

12:51 am

oh, and hurts like hell

12:51 am

owee!!!

12:51 am

hmmm. that sounds awful, joey. actually, i would like to get appendicitis or something so i could take some time off work. LOL i know that sounds weird.

12:51 am

oh joey! were you able to go back to contact lenses?

12:51 am

ok. it is weird.

12:52 am

be careful kierlex what you wish for!

12:52 am

doctor said sure, just use eye drops. 3 months later the same thing. haven't worn contacs in over 20 years

12:52 am

omg joey!

12:52 am

no - and it happened AGAIN? !!!!

12:53 am

kier - pick something less painful than the eyes. try back spasms. works for basketball players.

12:53 am

my hub had his appendix out last may, didn't seem too bad... and he got to take a week off and people fussed over him =)

12:53 am

of course, he woudln't fuss over me...

12:53 am

i haven't worn contacts for a while, now all these stories are scaring me!

12:53 am

i was putting drops in every hour. the second time out it was not as bad.

12:54 am

yeah i was going to say kier, it's not the same when mom is sick or immobile.

12:54 am

the contacts they make now are a LOT friendlier to the eye

12:55 am

My hubby is the worst nurse EVER. I was on bedrest for 3 months when I was preggo with baby 2 and I wanted to kill him.

12:55 am

i agree, but i won't try it. had cataract surgery on one eye, it is strong enough that i don't need glasses any more except to see close

12:55 am

19 to go...

12:55 am

woo hoo hursh!

12:55 am

19 to go???? are you on speed?

12:56 am

omygod hursh

12:57 am

i am velocious if that is what you mean, kierlex

12:58 am

hee, hee, that's hursh's new word.

12:58 am

From the heart of hell I **** at thee, thou grid!

12:58 am

hi douglas!

12:59 am

for hate's sake i spit my last br5 at th4

12:59 am

Hello FranMag, hurshy

12:59 am

you say velocious, i say 'on speed'... let's call the whole thing off

hursh is the robo-babbler (say that 3 times fast)

1:00 am

supercalifragilisticexpialvelocious...

1:00 am

BR5 Hursh?????? I don't think so.....

1:00 am

velocirabbler

1:01 am

i mean 6. those words with lotsa consonants look shorter than they are.

1:01 am

At least, I've never been short of br6

grey 8

1:02 am

woo hoo melon!

1:02 am

Does that mean you watched the trek-mas marathon?

1:02 am

phantom stereo

1:02 am

ah, no brandy, i didn't, i love ST but i love christmas separately...

1:02 am

and strobe

1:03 am

i think i am getting a bedsore from sitting here so long........

1:03 am

phantom bastion

4 7 letters and i will have attained my mediocre goal

1:03 am

phantom: stereo

move, kier, move! blink & shake, blink & shake!

1:04 am

what is the mediocre goal, melonhead? i can only aspire...

1:04 am

i have fe and he, what are the other two 8s please?

1:04 am

TOS Episode "The Cloud Minders" was on TV Land earlier this evening...

1:04 am

Me either. I watched Wrath of Khan, but didn't sit long enough for the rest. Recognised the quote is all. No idea which of Shakespears mellodrama's it came from.

1:04 am

ni8

1:04 am

wanion is my other phantom.

1:04 am

ta8

1:04 am

not shakes, melville, moby dick

mediocre is halfway, including all 7 letters and longer - at least that's my mediocre goal.

1:05 am

thanks hursh and bookwomen! *begins search)

1:05 am

Hello everyone happy holidays! This game is addicting but sometimes it makes me feel dumb! Just being curious what does the phantom word mean?

1:05 am

I couldn't stomach that one, even in the Classic Comics series.....

1:05 am

you know you're a babbler when your phantom is a word most people wouldn't have heard of

1:06 am

:-)

a hantom is a word you keep seeing in the grid that isn't there - mine this eveinig is anisette, for example.

phantom

1:06 am

as william goldman said, "as all but the most punishment-loving readers can omit the sections of whaling from moby dick..."

1:06 am

except we all know that melon is far from mediocre!

1:06 am

hi gilli!

1:06 am

melon, a prefix of your phantom is in the grid...

1:07 am

belfry denizens

you're right doug, maybe i gave something away. . .

thanks Fran - we are all an above average, pleasingly zany bunch.

1:09 am

did any of you read 'ahab's wife'?? I quite liked it. Haven't mustered the oomph to read The Mobe-ster tho

i loved the whaling parts. call me . . . . weird.

1:09 am

we had to read it jr. year in english - teacher knew trek too, asked who knew what movie had used the quote - guess who did!

1:10 am

ok, i must go gently tear off my contacts and prepare for bed. but i'll be back because i am laying bed already, mooo ha ha.

1:10 am

yay, got the ni8

see you later kier!

moby Dick is in a zillion short chapters. i read it, 1 chap per night (oh, that sounds ALL wrong!) - ahem, 1 chapter per night over a period of months. i had to remind myself that there would be no exam, to just get in and enjoy it. There is a lot of humor. Melville's short stories are good too.

sleep well kier - give them peeper a rest.

4:30 am

4:30 am

thanks eva, i totally overlooked the greek temple(s)

4:30 am

seano, he is adorable :)

4:30 am

i'm sure you were thinking i was out of my mind sprite!

4:31 am

you're too kind...he has his moments though ;-)

4:31 am

Of course not Fran, I was thinking I was on the brink of learning a new word!

4:31 am

Spoken as a proud father, seano! :)

4:31 am

thx for te clue

4:32 am

there is a word that was brand new to a lot of people (including me), the sh7/40, an interesting one, both the word and the definition.

4:33 am

Ah, a familiar word in these parts.....

4:33 am

Oh, I need to see that word! *starts hunting*

4:33 am

i had a feeling you would know it haz.

4:33 am

Joined in with MVA on Christmas day but didn't get round to it yesterday

4:34 am

across the pond i guess it would be the same as a "speakeasy"

4:34 am

I've made it sound as though illegal drinking dens are everywhere - it's not quite that bad!

4:34 am

thanks Fran. Knew the word (nifcec one isn't it?), but hadn't noticed it

4:35 am

cool eva!

4:36 am

That sh7 is a very common word in SA

4:36 am

Is it like one of those impossible yiddish word?

4:36 am

it's sort of a compound word sprite

4:36 am

no-more like one of those impossible irish words I think

4:36 am

at least the two parts are words on their own.

4:36 am

It's a combination of a female pronoun and a past participle of 'to be'

4:37 am

not male, not a pea

4:38 am

that was a perfect clue :) Got the word, now I want the meaning *click* Thanks for the help!

4:38 am

that's what's so great about babble, with people all over the world, there are really no words that someone wouldn't know.

4:38 am

Great! I justified my babbling for today, right?

4:39 am

any day you learn a new word is a good day!

4:40 am

Sprite - the first syllable is proounced like french 'je' and the emphasis is on the second syllable.

4:40 am

thats everyday fran, remembering them is another matter

4:41 am

that's true andree!

4:41 am

Darn, I only now see that there are REAL biggies in this grid :) It is a pretty word, that Sh7, glad I have learned it.

4:41 am

hi jfb and all others

4:41 am

hi mva!

4:41 am

4:43 am

Does anyone have the fo words please??

4:44 am

4:44 am

4:44 am

4:44 am

an7 is plural of the an6 just before it

4:44 am

4:44 am

fo5 - alpine wind?

4:45 am

4:47 am

bye dezyon

4:48 am

They are strange looking, but remember them - they'll be back!

4:50 am

Actually, they are from german. The 3rd letter was an Umlaut in the original spelling. In Holland we have the same name for the apparatus that blows your hair dry :)

4:50 am

I have thought of making a list of strange words - but i dont have a big enough notebook

4:50 am

makes sense sprite, def says a warm dry wind

4:51 am

Yes, I am sure that is what we stole it from, Fran!

4:53 am

Blowing hair dry reminds me that I should really do something about achieving a state of clothed cleanliness. Back soon.....

4:53 am

stole is such a strong word sprite, you "adapted" it. :-)

4:53 am

Now I feel guilty!

4:54 am

oh my, does that mean haz was babbling in unclean nakedness?

4:54 am

Ah but Fran, Dutch is full of stolen words. We even have words to define which language we stole them from... like germanism, romanism...

4:54 am

I am pretty sure that Haz can be naked, but never unclean ;)

4:54 am

5:24 am

Morning sherb, am actually working this morning but it's nice and quiet

5:25 am

...and morning Haz :)

5:25 am

The other sh7 is the illegal drinking den spoken of before (sh7/40)

5:25 am

ursh - the first one is a compound word = not a he but a SH* + what you make coffee from (spelled differently) (also a form of the word to be)

5:25 am

A most unusual word Haz!

5:25 am

Good grief we have them all over SA and i did'nt put it in!!!

5:26 am

ty JMann

5:26 am

goodnight all and happy babbling, see you tomorrow

5:27 am

i think you're on to something sherb!

5:27 am

Haz - mispent youth???

5:27 am

Isn't it awful? All theory in my case, no practical experience.

5:28 am

oh Haz... I was just starting to build up your reputation...

5:28 am

lol sherb

5:28 am

Sorry to shatter your illusions!

5:30 am

sheb Haz must have one vice surely, we just haven't found it yet :)

5:31 am

any clues on the WE 7/48

5:31 am

Does being rubbish at sewing not count as a vice?

5:31 am

jmann, not quite dry

5:32 am

we7/48 - not completly dry, an approximate description

5:32 am

completely (the typing is getting worse as well)

5:32 am

well, she does get a bit irritated when people give really simple clues... but since that has many of us snorting fire, Haz is a paragon of restraint by comparison... ...will have to ponder this one further...

5:33 am

A BIT irritated? You haven't seen me throwing things at the screen......

5:33 am

BRB phone

5:34 am

ah, thanks Haz and Fran - I was missing the double consonant

5:34 am

yw jmann

5:35 am

how are you guys doing on the grid? better than yesterday?

5:36 am

I'm enjoying the chance to babble without having to think about catering!

5:36 am

i have 14 left with just my monkeys and the chat log, so much better than yesterday's.

5:37 am

44 to go ... but none of the biggies yet... hoping to come across them by chance... another in my long list of pet hates is when people arrive and ask for clues to the big words straightaway... have they never heard of delayed gratification?

5:38 am

wow. i haven't played for so long and i've completely lost my touch, lol. 135 still to find!

5:38 am

I know, sherb - I like to build up to finding the big words eventually.

5:38 am

hi miametro

5:38 am

hey, i gave a clue before i asked

5:38 am

hi franmag :)

5:38 am

if that was directed at me

5:39 am

hey miametro

5:40 am

Fran, Sherb - any of the ones you're missing S's, T's, or W's

5:40 am

it was a general comment, JMann... and I wouldn't count a 7 letter word as one of the biggies today... :)

5:41 am

what's that jmann?

5:41 am

well, that's true

5:41 am

See you all later

5:42 am

bye ren8!

5:42 am

later Ren :)

5:42 am

oh, i just wanted to see if you needed any clues for any of the S, T or W words

5:42 am

bye Ren8

5:43 am

G'd morning Babblers! After several weeks of desperately missing Babble, I finally get to experience the frustration again.... :)

5:43 am

5:43 am

Christmas Eve was very busy, we were off Christmas Day and then had the phone yesterday. Not particularly busy yesterday - one Westie disgraced itself by eating a whole layer of Milk Tray.

5:47 am

192 Lori :)

5:47 am

The funniest call was on Christmas Eve - a gentleman hoped we would supply large veterinary syringes to assist with 'beer-making' - poteen more like!

5:47 am

eeww poor dog

5:47 am

ONLY 192? :) Thank ye very much.

5:48 am

It had managed to bite its way through outer wrappings. It'll probably be sick today, but dark chocolate is more dangerous than milk.

movie - find the HE 4/7 and that makes an HE 8/55, 10/91, and 11/112

7:03 am

ni8 classic novel Ni******* Eighty-Four

7:04 am

I have one 8, movieman, and it's ta8/50, plural of a musical instrument, a small drum

7:04 am

HE +To ** or not to **

7:04 am

7:05 am

7:05 am

wtg sprite

7:05 am

Congrats Sprite! I was busy feeding my masochistic side. :)

7:05 am

could someone help me with the a's please?

7:05 am

jmann, thanks for the he clues!

7:05 am

in 7 clue please

7:06 am

sh7/40 pls?

7:06 am

in + st5/10

7:07 am

jman, your clue seems to be for a 6 letter word?

7:07 am

SH 7/40 = No He but Sh* + what coffee is made from (spelled differently)

7:07 am

thx

7:07 am

inge - you mean for the HE?

7:08 am

got the he10, cluez for the other one plz?

7:08 am

yes, jmann

7:08 am

the 11 is the plural

7:08 am

ty

7:09 am

does the he10 run off the he8?

7:09 am

inge - take the HE 4/7 + a famous art museum in London (actually two of them - one Modern) and that is the HE 8/55

7:10 am

I did not get that sh clue at all.

7:10 am

my parting gift, since I have to go swimming, is fo 5 and 6 are that alpine wind again

7:11 am

got the he10, cluez for the other one plz?

7:11 am

then for the HE 10/91 - replace the last letter of HE 8/5 with a three letter word, and then make it plural

7:13 am

i'm still stuck jmann. i have the he8 but can't figure the three letter word you're on about!

7:14 am

SH = a compound word = someone who is not a he is a sh* + what you make coffee from (or think green **** or lima **** or pinto **** - just spelled differently)

7:14 am

miametro - the he10 sounds like a word for places where people live......

7:14 am

Miame try this, the United Nat****

Hi Atalante

7:38 am

G'd morning Atlante

7:39 am

G'd morn, Ata

7:39 am

ro 6,18 please

7:39 am

I know M.P., I was just teasing you a bit

7:39 am

jmann - sounds like a type of shellfish......

7:40 am

ro 6 rhymes with putting a car on a ho*** and raising it in the air. Add an ending.

7:40 am

merk - a list of people's names (similar to a male chicken, but without the double vowel)

7:41 am

JMann, the first te 5/12 clue? My elevator isn't going all the way to the top on this one.... :)

7:42 am

ty

7:42 am

Thanks, JMann, the clue helped me, too.

7:42 am

TE + what you say when it's cold (spelled differently)

7:43 am

how about the an6/18 please

7:43 am

sorry Lori - what were you looking for? TE or TA

7:43 am

yw M.P.

7:43 am

I normally said "bl**dy h*ll its cold!" does that fit?

7:44 am

JMann, the first te 5/12please (I probably mistakenly typed ta)

7:44 am

LOL Ata

7:44 am

lol ata

7:45 am

like I did this morning when the dog decided she *had* to go for a walk ....

7:46 am

sorry about your luck there Ata...I can just open my backdoor now and let my dog walk himself (*^_^*)

7:47 am

LOL again, Ata ... of course, we all knew you had a connection with a dog, but him/her dragging you out there ... funny.

7:47 am

TE 5/12 = wow that guy has great P**S ( chest muscles) + **KE me out to the ballgame

7:48 am

No offense, or anything, I'm sure it was horrible. Just funny for us.

7:48 am

thanks, JMann, I've seen that word before but never would have gotten it

7:48 am

M P obviously doesn't have personal experience of spaniels and their looks.

7:48 am

Thank ye very much JMann (and for your patience). I wouldn't have gotten that in a month of Sundays!

7:49 am

Atalante, If I had your dog, he/she would be spoiled rotten...they are so beautiful

7:49 am

Atalante - hello! I'm just taking a very short break from shifting stuff from one place to the other.

kind of like the ni5/12 but one more, jas

8:16 am

the first TE 5/12 = TE + the award for best ***or or ***ress goes to... - then rearrange the letters

8:16 am

te + 2nd consonant + **stefully decorated

8:17 am

T + chest muscle p** + **ke it or leave it

8:18 am

the second TE 5/12 = the eighth, the ninth, and the TE***

8:18 am

JMann said a word

8:19 am

whoops, sorry

8:20 am

thanks all

8:20 am

harumphhhh, the grid says "statin" is not in the dictionary....must be a very old dictionary

8:20 am

the TE 6/12 is the plural of the second TE 5/12 (the eighth, the NI***, the TE***)

8:21 am

I agree Annie

8:22 am

the third TE 5/12 is a plural of the TE 4/5 = the second TE 5/12 minus the middle letter (then make it plural for TE 5/12)

8:22 am

anyone need any clues before I go?

8:23 am

how about clues for the humungous he words?

8:24 am

HE 4/7 = HE + the animal that makes honey (minus the last letter)

8:24 am

gramma, he --to dwell or live in---change second vowel

8:25 am

HE 8/55, 10/91 and 1/112 build on that

8:25 am

TY that will give me something to ponder

8:26 am

HE 8/55 = HE 4/7 + a museum in London (actally two museums, one of them is for Modern art)

8:26 am

hebetate

8:26 am

sorry

8:27 am

HE 10/91 = take the HE 8/55, drop the last letter and add United Nat***

8:27 am

then make it plural for the HE 11/112

8:27 am

and plural

8:27 am

now look whos saying words!

8:28 am

vic, have a nice rest with the grid

9:00 am

WB Vicuna

9:01 am

... until the next time I am required, of course.

9:01 am

we havent had our favorite volcano in a while so vicuna is taking its place

9:02 am

True! I've been missing good old etna. (Admittedly, I usually miss it even when it IS in the grid.)

9:02 am

good morning

9:02 am

hi jane

9:03 am

Hello, harp.

9:03 am

Fireworks!

9:03 am

yay for merk@!

9:03 am

Congrats Merk!

9:03 am

G'd morning Harpjane

9:03 am

Yay for Merk!

9:03 am

fancy lava! lol!

9:04 am

ty

9:04 am

how does one be fancy lava? am intrigued!

9:04 am

She was wearing her gauzy purple dress-up skirt and a "halo" made of a blue scarf. So she was quite fancy.

9:04 am

awwww!

9:05 am

purple lava! thats *really* impressive :)

9:06 am

Technically she was a pretty fancy bad smell, too, but that doesn't seem to have occurred to her.

9:06 am

The fe 8&9 please? I'm blanker than my chequing account

9:07 am

*hurriedly starts looking for fe8 and 9*

9:07 am

well bad smells can be pretty interesting!

9:07 am

lori, the formation of a fetus

9:07 am

celebrating greek cheese

9:07 am

especially purple bad smells

9:07 am

that is SUCH a bogus word, lol

9:08 am

Ata, love your clue

9:08 am

Thank ye all.

any clue on the IN 7?

9:08 am

lori, plural it

9:08 am

definitely a better meaning, Atalante

9:08 am

it was Haz's clue really :)

9:08 am

Oh, good clues, Annie and Ata. And now I am called upon to provide a snack to my volcanic children. BBL

9:09 am

in + st5/10

9:09 am

haz's clue, the master cluer

9:09 am

in7/28 - in + MA or SD or CA

9:09 am

in plural to say

9:09 am

*in plus to say

9:09 am

not plural

d'oh! thanks! I thought I'd tried that already... maybe I just thought I'd tried it, and never got around to typing it in. lol

9:10 am

I see I need to get more coffee, bbl

9:11 am

Later Annie

9:13 am

I"m stuck on E's and O's. All I have is o4 "possesses" could someone give me a few words, for a nudge in the right direction?

9:14 am

As they say in Deutschland......Ich haben das Feuerwerk......

9:14 am

feuerwerk! donner! blitzen!

9:14 am

Congrats movieman!

9:15 am

schön, movieman!

9:16 am

the o's were clued quite recetly, harp

9:16 am

I can't decide if the definition of the 11 fits what happens to you when you play Babble or if it describes the inability to complete the grid. Works either way...

9:16 am

harp, you have the variations of ea, to consume, right? THen there's a funny way of saying enough, en4 and plural, using word for the present

9:16 am

And now I've got that one out of the way, I'm only 4809 points away from the "Magic Million"!!!!!!!!

9:17 am

So I should reach the million before the end of the year.......

9:19 am

9 words left. Gawd i missed the frustrations of Babble!

9:20 am

inge thansks

9:20 am

go Lori!

9:23 am

can someone help with the A's in the right most column?

9:24 am

what is/are the beginning letter/letters for the 9, 10, and 11, please?

9:25 am

jas 2 ab's 2 ae's

9:25 am

As - to aid and ab** + pl. UK bubbly chcolate bar (ae4). and a type of bacteria that uses air to respire (ae6)

9:27 am

got em all, thanks crew

9:27 am

harpjane, he9, 10, 11

9:28 am

this is going to be an easy puzzle...already found 50 and ive been on 20 minutes!

9:28 am

Sorry, he 8, 10, 11

9:29 am

are they compound words, Vicuna?

9:29 am

me too rosewood, but I've been fooled more than once by an easy start!

9:30 am

well haha

9:30 am

ive got enough time to find all the words and get it all done

9:31 am

Ack. Company, and 1 word to go. :( Will have to come back later. Have a good morning all!

9:32 am

bye, Lori

9:36 am

grrrrrrrrrrr can I rant for a moment?

ok 45 to go... time to hit the showers, though. Be backl in a sec

9:36 am

the long he's mean to make dull or blunt, but you'll never have heard of the words. They start with the he4/7 before them, and then add the Modern Art gallery in London for the 8, and make it into a noun and a noun pl for 10 and 11.

9:36 am

Rant away, Ata!

9:37 am

Good morning, all. Rant to your heart's content, At

9:38 am

there's a monthly art thing I take part in, with a monthly theme for "contest" entries. A recently proposed theme is "lovers". People go yay and start talking about every lover they can think of. All man and woman. So I say what about homosexual lovers? Is that being allowed and if so, at what degree of "passion"? And the first reply was from someone I dislike anyway and all she wrote was "EWWWWWW!!!!! Well, I supposed it takes all kinds to make the world go round, as they say." Are people still really that homophobic??

9:38 am

wow, good clues, Vicuna, and you're right; never ever heard of those words

9:39 am

morning everyone - yes, aparently there are still people out there. many of them here in new england :)

9:39 am

Some are still very threatened by it, Atalante.

9:39 am

good morning all, today is a babbler's birthday, does anyone know who it is - memory fails me

9:39 am

I asked my rock about that, Atalante, and it said human sexuality is so ewwwwwww.

9:40 am

I have no personal wish to draw homosexual lovers, but I'm damn well going to make sure other people can if they want to!

9:40 am

that makes sense, angela - she lives in Massachusetts

9:40 am

Yes, the world at large is still so homophobic that here in Asheville, there are "recovery" groups to change the God-given gifts of local individuals. Here in the south, Angela, we can give your population a run for its money. Sad and pathetic...

9:40 am

hello, has everyone had a nice christmas?

9:41 am

When was Christmas?

9:41 am

I'm going to use he8 in a sentence today

9:41 am

Yesterday and Monday :P

9:41 am

lol babble raabble

9:42 am

clue for the O in the second column please

9:42 am

Hi, BR... why did Christmas pass you by?

9:42 am

bottom row

9:42 am

My parents raised me to respect everyone, not just people who I agree with or have the most in common with. Not fair. People are born that way and they cannot change that any more than I can change the fact that I'm Italian. Just my opinion.

9:43 am

too right, Angela

9:43 am

Hello, Scarlet..... I guess I just didn't participate

9:43 am

(Oops, missed your rant, Ata.) Yes, penty of homophobia going around. And I think the "eeew" factor is huge. Lots of people are willing to live and let live as long as they don't have to see it or think about it. But as soon as you draw a picture of it, they freak out.

9:43 am

so harp would you say what a he8

9:43 am

Oh, may I mention a wedding we attended last Fall - 2 of the dearest men you would ever want to know, had a wedding Thanksgiving weekend - it was the happiest occasion you would ever want to attend - I've never seen people at a wedding mix and mingle so beautifully - everyone was very friendly and mixing just beautifully - two lovelier people you would never hope to find

9:43 am

Atalante - I applaud your ability to think of others and to try to include everyone. The world would be a better place if everyone thought of others once in a while. The day will come when people are more open-minded....right?

9:43 am

Right on, Angela. We are who we are, and if we don't accept the green people, the polka-dotted people and the people who have made true contributions to this planet... then we are bereft, hollow and shallow.

9:44 am

hopefully, remluc! And I'm soooo tempted to draw the most flagrantly romantic picture of two men for this art thing now

9:44 am

Hello, flosey.... hope you had a good rest after yesterday's grid ordeal.

9:44 am

Exactly. If we start weeding out the "different" ones...soon, there will be no one left. Or they will all be in concentration camps.

9:45 am

I think you should Atalante. Just for giggles.

9:45 am

and show me a normal person anyway .....

9:45 am

Remember, though, and this is hard, that tolerance includes trying to reach out to homophobes, too. Educate them instead of demonizing them in their turn.

9:45 am

My husband and I were involved in a wedding a few years ago, and I was the "Best Woman" for two amazing men who felt committed enough to be married... it was an extraordinary celebration.

9:45 am

thanks you Babble - it really was horrendous wasn't it! Took hours - fortunately we had the time yesterday - hubby helped me

9:46 am

One of the most memorable photographs I've ever seen was of two couples in a park in San Francisco. One was an older couple, eating lunch and holding hands. In the foreground were two men, sitting on a blanket, sort of leaning into each other, looking into each other's eyes tenderly....

9:46 am

I think I will! actually, what I might do is just draw a close up of lips kissing or something, and just say they are 2 men or 2 women in the blurb under the photo

9:46 am

I am always the most normal person sitting in my chair when I am sitting there.

9:46 am

very very true Vi ... I'm just all *pointy* and grrrrr about it at the moment!

9:47 am

I actually like doing that Vicuna - my friend Kristy and I go out shopping and they find out later that she has a girlfriend and the look on some faces is just priceless. Apparently, she looks "normal". Cracks me up.

9:47 am

Oh, Ata, I didn't for a moment suggest you shouldn't rant and vent! lol That's important, too!

9:47 am

I've been playing at weddings for over 20 years, and I've yet to be asked to play at a gay wedding. One of my best friend's daughter married another woman, but they didn't want music...

9:47 am

I know, but your point is very important too!

9:47 am

Ata, why not the "prelude to a kiss"... the anticipation of a physical connection without the actual contact?

9:47 am

Normal, lol, we are all on a spectrum, no?

9:47 am

great idea Ata - sounds perfect!

9:48 am

my first though, of Lovers, would be a couple in a nursing home, one of them feeding the other

9:48 am

no music Harp? Not even Babaloo???

9:48 am

first thought

9:48 am

that sounds a beautiful photo, harpjane, I'd like to see that

9:49 am

oh now that is a wonderful idea! every month I try to do something different than the "normal" (haha) for each theme

9:49 am

a New Year's resolution Ata!

9:49 am

not even zip a dee doo dah!

9:50 am

wow - sounds sad to me! You've got to boogie, as they say!

9:50 am

oh Vi - this you will love - http://innocenceburning.deviantart.com /gallery/ - he does amazing linocut work. take a look!

9:50 am

Many homophobes (of whom my father-in-law is an example) have never knowingly met a gay person, let alone knowing a gay couple well enough to recognize that they are perfectly capable of meaningful relationships with each other and with God.

9:50 am

noooo that's sad! music is part of the celebration

9:50 am

Okay, I'm checking it out...

9:50 am

harpjane, my sister worked in a nursing home for a while, one of her saddest stories was the woman that was there and her husband, that showed up and did EVERYTHING for her every day. He told the nurses "she's taken care of me for 50 years, now I'm taking care of her"

9:50 am

just got the he6, it fits right in with the conversation

9:51 am

Vicuna - A lawyer I worked for is all for gay marriage. He said he will get double the business :)

9:51 am

LOL Angela! :)

9:51 am

kc8501, I don't find that sad, as long as they are both willing participants.

9:51 am

thanks Harpjane, my first word

9:52 am

now, on with the puzzle

9:52 am

well, the woman wasn't really "with it" and he did it till she died. verra sad

9:53 am

my gran did the same for my grandfather. travelled 2 hours or more each day to be with him in his nursing home for 7 years. every day.

9:53 am

my husband and I "joke" about how we're in between aging parents now, three have passed away and one is just beginning the slippery slope of senility. She says "dementia isn't all that bad, you meet new people every day!"

9:53 am

I already told my husband when I'm dead - they shall creamate me and he will wear me in an urn around his neck. We'll see if he ever gets a date after I'M gone!!

9:53 am

Hi everyone!

9:54 am

Are we all happy and well??

9:54 am

hey flask

9:54 am

so hard that getting old stuff. I'm not looking forward to it

9:54 am

angela that is ironic...my husband and i have a pact that the first one to go will be cremated and then buried with the remaining in the crook of the arm

mornin', afternoon all!

9:54 am

could I get a br clue?

9:55 am

respiration, harp

9:55 am

lol wurdy :)

9:55 am

wurdy, we're both getting cremated, told the kids, mix us up and then do whatever with us.

9:56 am

thast

9:56 am

i mena thanks

9:56 am

i mean, i mean thanks

9:56 am

laughingly i told my friends that wwhen i die and get creamated they are to take me shopping in all the stores i could never afford and just dip into the urn every now and then and send me on my way

9:56 am

lol

9:56 am

LOL

9:57 am

my father in law wanted his ashes spread over the Tasman glacier in New Zealand. He's been gone for 7 years now but someday I guess we'll get there!

9:57 am

you crack me up wurdy - you sound just like a friend of mine!

9:58 am

i have a very warped sense of humor

9:58 am

That's pretty far from Massachusetts, Angela!

9:58 am

don't forget the plurals uconn

9:59 am

as do I it seems!!

9:59 am

Inge2 - we have friends there so it won't be so bad, it's just taking a month or so off to do it is the problem :)

ok I'm back all... looks like I missed an interesting chat. ;)

10:00 am

im going to go eat lucke, this day cant get any more boring here.

10:01 am

welcome back smooth - you sure did!

10:01 am

is a man's view on the subject any different from our general girlies view/

10:01 am

?

10:01 am

What a variety of media on that page, Ata! I like to dabble in many media, but I don't consider much of them fit for showing to strangers! I especially like the rudbeckia (predictably). thanks for passing along the link.

ata, on which poiint? the cremation?

10:02 am

interesting question ata...

10:02 am

I thought you'd like a look at that!

10:02 am

let's go for all subjects :) cremation, gay lovers, anything else you feel like telling us about!

HA! I'm sure different men have different views, as well as different women. lol

10:03 am

I reckon all rites for the dead are for the benefit of the living. So I tell my husband if I die first he can do whatever makes him feel better.

10:03 am

I agree, Vicuna

10:03 am

You mean you're not willing to speak for half of all humanity, smooth?

10:04 am

There is a wise man

in my family, no one has really had any after death requests. I mean... no one even really prefers burial over cremation or visa versa. We've always thought that since we'll be dead, we won't care a whole lot.

10:04 am

my father in law didn't want anything but he was the mayor here for years and always in politics, so we did something more for everyone else.

10:04 am

My family is threatening to cremate me and put me by the washing machine so I feel like I never left!!

oh, I'd love the opportunity vicuna. ;)

10:04 am

smooth - don't be chicken! spill it!

10:04 am

lol

cremation? i'm having trouble finding it in the grid LOL

HA!

10:04 am

eeeeeeww speedfreak!

10:04 am

go for it LOL we'll sit and listen raptly!

haha speed.

10:05 am

Well better to cremate you before putting you by the washing machine than, say mummifying you first!

10:05 am

double ew Vic!

that's it! that's what I want them to do to me... mummify me!

10:06 am

And if you play Babble long enough, they won't even have to take your brains out through your nose first!

10:06 am

brains sucked out through the nose? no thanks!!

10:06 am

great minds think alike, Vi!

10:07 am

A little knowledge of mummification is a dangerous thing!

maybe... if there are any glaciers left, they could hide me in one, to be found a 1000 years from now. ;)

10:08 am

I just harken back to the days of "the worms crawl in...the worms crawl out" and KNOW that I will be creamated!

10:08 am

*cremated*

10:09 am

and I'm completely the opposite! I *hate* the idea of cremation and demand to be buried! Its the biologist in me or something

10:09 am

"The worms play penuchle on your snout!"

10:09 am

(If that's how to spell "penuchle." I have no idea!)

10:10 am

angela I'm with you the thought of all those bugs eating away at me I would rather be burned

10:10 am

it's just such an ishy thought!! *shudder*

10:10 am

pinochle ..

10:11 am

thank you Tof

10:11 am

*Tor* Sorry, can't spell today

10:11 am

I don't mind the bugs. Everyone has to eat! But burials do clutter up the landscape, and I'm such an indifferent housekeeper now that I'd just as soon be tidy for eternity.

10:11 am

s'ok . .

10:12 am

clue for the last ba 6/24 please

10:12 am

There is definitely a lot of prime real estate wasted on the dead

10:12 am

My last ba6/24 is what gets baked into a cake, but I could be missing one or more.

10:13 am

thanks

10:13 am

Back for my missing last word.

10:13 am

The trappings and traditions of the dead are more for the living. My instructions upon my death are to be cremated with no ceremony performed and no final resting place. I would like my ashes deposited with new growth, hopefully to help it make its to strong and healthy.

10:13 am

ba6/24 cook it around your fish

10:13 am

But graveyards are so interesting....

10:13 am

hello, does anyone have a clue for et 6? Thank you>

10:14 am

good for you babble.

10:14 am

they are, Haz. and beautiful too (sometimes)

10:14 am

But Rabble, what if the living want to do something else when you die?

10:14 am

well done babble a good drop of organic bone meal

10:14 am

et6 - put an negative word into the following et4/5

10:14 am

yeah, but the builder side of me loves a lovely rolling hill with a nice view. tell me, why on earth do most cemetaries HAVE a view anyway??

10:14 am

That's true, Haz. Maybe it's selfish not to have a fancy tomb that other people will get to explore later!

10:14 am

I have chosen a representative that will honor my wishes.

10:15 am

ty haz!

10:15 am

You're welcome!

10:15 am

My point, Rabble, is that if you're dead, and trappings are, as you say, for the living, why should your wishes be honored over those of the living?

10:16 am

Because you can't rely on the living to have good taste.....

10:16 am

Because it is my life and my body

10:16 am

*looks across the court for BabbleRabble's rebuttal*

10:16 am

lol Haz!

10:16 am

lol Haz

and we have fireworks!

10:17 am

How did this discussion start, by the way?

10:17 am

okay you guys make me nervous w/all this talk of death and such. I'M NOT GOING!

10:17 am

If the Victorians didn't have such bad taste, many graveyards wouldn't be nearly so interesting!

10:17 am

Well done smooth!

10:18 am

WTG pappa!

10:18 am

Congrats Smooth!

10:18 am

You tell 'em, gramma! Let's see what a little willpower can do!

i dunno haz, I was in the shower

10:18 am

yay smooth!!

10:18 am

Yay for smooth!

10:18 am

OB6? please

10:18 am

can't say Haz...might have been me....

*slowly climbing the village elder list*

10:19 am

probably my fault, I think

10:19 am

I don't think I've ever looked at the list actually...

Gramma: OB + Sherlock holmes was a de****ive

10:19 am

ob6/27 - when a lawyer says, "I ob6!" but change the consonant after the b.

10:20 am

TY

10:20 am

hey all

10:20 am

G'd morning kthdsn

10:20 am

hiya kthdsn

10:21 am

Howdy Kate

hi kate!

10:21 am

clue for the ob 7 please?

10:22 am

ooops never mind it's a 6! got it.

10:22 am

I'm feeling really crappy again today

10:22 am

look down the log at Vicunas clue

10:22 am

sorry to hear that Kate :

10:23 am

Hi all, could I get a clue for the first ba7,36? Thks.

10:24 am

John the BA****** minus the following consonant

10:24 am

I don't think he's going to be able to get me this damned money, and without money I'm stuck here. My dad says I can't go stay with them unless I have some money to arrive with and I've paid my debts off here. I guess I know he's right, it wouldn't work if I arrived with nothing, but I don't know how the hell I'm meant to manage here either, I feel totally stuck

10:25 am

BA 7 + baseball *** + it ** what it ** + ** he (laugh)

strider... castro overthrew BA*****, but change the last letter to the 2nd vowel

10:25 am

Thanks smooth. Got it.

I hate that feeling kate... my circumstances aren't the same, but I completely know and understand that feeling of being trapped, and not being able to afford to get out.

10:26 am

I know that I have rebathed my dog. Rebathe isn't a word? Bah!

10:26 am

Okay, I must have used all my limited brain space earlier. My last word, the 2nd st5/10 please?

10:26 am

tx, gramma, nice clue

10:27 am

st5/10 - the ever useful heart device

10:29 am

first ba 7/36 anyone?

wow! I just found a charity that has got a really cool approach... I don't know if anyone here is into charity, though

10:29 am

Evening - how is everyone?

10:30 am

Kinda depends what they're trying to do, doesn't it, smooth?

10:30 am

Kateq - it was clued not long ago, if you scroll down a little.

10:30 am

I can't afford to help myself never mind a charity

kateq, juck my post just a couople minutes ago

10:30 am

G'd evening matty.

you can donate animals or partial shares of an animal to families... like a cow for milk, or sheep for wool, etc.

10:31 am

Heifer Project? Yes, a very cool charity.

10:31 am

Haz, that went over my head so closely, I got a haircut....... LOL

10:31 am

Heifer PRoject?

10:31 am

Yes, my daughter asked to do that for her Christmas present, as did my in-laws

10:31 am

Sorry Lori - I'll try again - s plus the canvas dwelling

jeez... you all know it already? lol

10:32 am

Yea! Thank ye Haz. Forgive my ignorance. I just wasn't seeing it. Sorry about that.

10:32 am

Smooth - lots of charities are doing things like that. My daughter bought veterinary care for a goat on behalf of her father (a vet) and textbooks on behalf of her aunt and sister (teachers)

10:32 am

my sister did a couple on mine and my husband's behalf last year for Christmas

10:32 am

Glad you got there Lori!

10:32 am

I am done. 192 words.

10:32 am

I gave an allotment to the developing world to my gardening mad sister-in-law and her husband. Beats shopping for someone who has everything they want

10:32 am

We gave our kids shares of rabbits to go with the little rabbit stuffed animals they got.

10:32 am

Could I please have a clue for the first t/5/12, between? It's my last one and it's driving me nuts...

10:33 am

Haz, I tell ya', I'm a million shades of red.......

10:33 am

Well done Lori!!

10:33 am

TY! swore I tried that earlier!

10:33 am

*shudder* rabbits? ew...

10:33 am

Sounds like you might need one of those cardiac devices, Lori.....

10:34 am

te5/12 - shortened form of private eye, then baby thanks.

10:34 am

Angela, I understood "ew" for worms playing pinochle on your snout, but what's "ew" about rabbits?

10:34 am

Throw in a little sumpin' for the brain, and I'll take that deal Haz!

10:34 am

SH7/40? please

10:35 am

sh7/40 -illegal Irish drinking den. (The very idea!)

10:35 am

evil little creatures... my own issues though - got bit

10:35 am

sh = not a he but a ** + a has **** actor

10:35 am

Thanks Haz!! Fireworks finally...

10:35 am

hi guys, hope you all had a good xmas? can anyone help with ro5/10 - it's driving me nuts!!!!

10:36 am

It's constructed with a female pronoun and a vegetable sound alike verb form of 'to be'

10:36 am

What the heck does THAT mean, Lori?

10:36 am

Congrats jan!

10:36 am

Good god - there's an 11...

10:36 am

you have the plural of ro4/4 sugar?

10:36 am

yayayayaya Jan!

10:36 am

ro5/10 - used with violin strings etc, ro plus biblical wrongdoing.

10:36 am

clue for the 1st br please?

10:36 am

OHHHH of course. What was I thinking ? I use that word all the time. TY

10:37 am

yes Inge, it's the other one that I need, tx

10:37 am

matty, the fact that I omitted a *, or the word......? (I better give up, and not give clues)

10:37 am

Ro/5 is a sticky substance that violinists use on their strings, I think. It is spelled rather like the word for pine tar.

10:37 am

br6 - the air you need to live

10:37 am

Well, that still sounds more like an "aargh" than an "ew," Angela! But then you'll be pleased to consider that the shares of rabbits for Heifer Preject will assuredly be bitten in their turn!

10:37 am

ro5/10: what you put on your violin bow

10:38 am

tx all, need to think about it..........

10:38 am

ty haz - guess i forgot to br*****!

10:38 am

Don't forget the following br7/40 words.

10:38 am

makes me feel better Vi - thanks! It's their eyes and I always feel like they're looking at me like a cocktail wiener or something.

10:38 am

like the word for hardened pine sap, sugar, with a different first vowel

10:38 am

Just looked up the sh/7/40--it's a Scottish word for a house where whiskey is illegally sold. So, that'll be fun to work into casual conversation today..,

10:39 am

Got it ! Thanks for your help everyone! Fireworks for me.

10:39 am

LOL sugar!

10:39 am

Congrats sugar!

10:39 am

Congratulations sugar!

10:39 am

congrats, sugar!

all right... time to run off... have a good day all!

10:39 am

LOL jan, I should have said...

10:39 am

bye smooth! have a great one!

10:39 am

Have a good one smooth!

10:39 am

yay sugar

10:40 am

bye pappa! hi all!

10:40 am

((((((stid)))))))

10:40 am

Bye, smooth. Yay for sugar.

10:40 am

Hello stidmama!

10:40 am

Hello, stidmama.

10:40 am

YAY Jan, YAY sugar!

10:41 am

I got to halfway (the 11's not hard, it's the 10 that precedes it that was the killer) last night.

10:41 am

LOL Stid. I don't have anything longer than a 7 at the moment....

10:42 am

go matty go! :-)

10:42 am

stid, hi :)

10:42 am

someday, I think I will go in numerical order ... all the 4s first, then the 5s.... but not today!

10:42 am

matty - obese people in denial blame water re10 for their problems.

10:42 am

hi Inge2!

10:43 am

although in my case, Haz, it's true! (at least this time of the month)

10:43 am

Wow ty for that word Haz

10:43 am

jan - interesting (the whisky house word) - I've heard it used (and been to one) outside Cape Town. Maybe by way of dutch/afrikaans?

10:43 am

Oooh - thanks Stid - got the 10 (and one of the 9s) now, thanks to you!

10:43 am

You're hardly obese, anyway, stidmama!

10:44 am

You hardly qualify for the obese label, though, stidmama!

10:44 am

good afternoon!

10:44 am

not anymore, Vi -- but it took a long time to lose the 60 pounds I gained with the younger child...

10:44 am

Good afternoon, featherbee!

10:44 am

hi feather! ignore weight gain on previous post... it won't happen to you!

10:44 am

lol

10:45 am

that's ok, i'm starting out lighter than when i did with daniel, so i have room to spare right now. thank goodness! ;)

10:45 am

For me it was not the weight that was the problem, it's the shape!

10:45 am

how's the grid?

10:45 am

It's a nice grid today.

10:45 am

*grin* but vi! alpaca are supposed to be that shape!

10:45 am

I still blame the weight on the pregnancies even though my boys are 18 and 20!!!

10:45 am

not horrible yet feather, I am halfway

10:46 am

I'm dieting - lost three pounds the week before Xmas - I dread to think of what it is now, though.

10:46 am

if i keep eating a second breakfast to keep the morning sickness at bay, i'm going to be in real trouble....i'm hoping this will ease off in a few weeks!

10:47 am

wow matty -- why dieting? I gave up dieting and now just try to focus on "lightweight" foods...

10:47 am

1st ta 5?

10:48 am

feather, I ate little bits throughout the day with both, but my illness lasted the whole time with them, no "first three months" limit! which explains some of the weight gain.

10:48 am

ta5 - ta plus the first part of muppet Ernie's friend

10:48 am

TA7? please.

10:48 am

gotta run some errands...bbl

10:48 am

like the 2nd but with a different final vowel, Enomis

10:48 am

I put on loads of weight - around 3 stone - when I have up smoking. Actually, it was already creeping on, but accellerated - I went from 9 1/2 stone to over 12 1/2.

10:48 am

ta7 - extend the second ta5/14 with the little alien

10:48 am

see you later Angela

10:48 am

TA5 is ta + Milton ***le

10:48 am

(A stone is 14 pounds)

10:48 am

gramma the ta7 and 8 build on the 2nd ta5/14: small drum

10:48 am

ty

10:49 am

TY

10:49 am

thanks haz! i'm dense today and can't see the he8,10 nor the 11. related? clues?

10:49 am

haha, Hax, the little alien

10:49 am

doug's having fun torturing daniel

10:49 am

*Haz

10:49 am

*peeks into feather's house* what is doing? tickling?

10:50 am

daniel's yelling at him for coming into the kitchen (don't know why), so doug's standing in the doorway, putting one foot in and out. now he's got daniel laughing though, by dancing in and out of the doorway!

10:50 am

Hello smaller - if you have the he4/7 (garden plant) add the art gallery in London, or the Jodie Foster Little Man. for he8/55

10:50 am

oh boy... daniel's learning the power of slapstick. watch out, world!

10:50 am

Once you have the he8 - take off the last vowel and replace with a charged particle. Plural for he11/112

10:50 am

and now they're off chasing each other. lol

10:51 am

ty ty ty ty ty ty ty

10:51 am

no one can see them without clues today smaller. And if the art gallery is a mystery you can try he**-jeebees (but with just a single E in each place, and add Grand Central S******

10:51 am

what fun, feather! I miss those moments... but last night we could all sit down for a complicated game together, and those are good times, too.

10:51 am

You're welcome, smaller.

10:52 am

i'm working on the first he7, the plant one...

10:52 am

Inge2 -- brilliant clue!

10:52 am

Inge, great clues - thanks!

10:52 am

the long he words are all about the plant, feather

10:52 am

oh, duh. my brain transposed the 4/7 to mean a 7 letter word. no wonder it seemed hard!

10:53 am

sounds like someone with a cold saying "don't hesi**** to call me"

10:53 am

Can someone help me with the two Fs I'm missing from the 1st column? I have the supporters, the Egyptian kings, the deer

10:53 am

10:53 am

i was in the ta** in 1971

10:54 am

10:54 am

hello chj! are you well? missed seeing you the last couple days.

10:54 am

10:54 am

fa4/7 and fa5/16 - the supporter gains a vowel and plural

10:54 am

Oh come on now. I know if I tell my husband to meet me at 9:30, he'll show up around tenish. I swear it's a word.

10:54 am

a clue for the re10/70, please?

10:55 am

hi Gwen! how's life treating you today?

10:56 am

10:56 am

Magical Trevor 3 Magical Trevor is here for the day, we all love him, its safe to say. It's 12 PM so he starts with a thriller, he's gonna do tricks with a chinchilla. Covers it up with his magical cloak, gets out some petrol and gives it a soak. Look out kids, he's playing with matches, he better be careful in case that cloak catches on fire. Oh no, the cloak is on fire. Its turning to ashes with our furry friend, when will this horror finally end? Oh look its okay well that was amazin', the chinchilla's just fine but now its turned into a raisin. Shame no one's watching, put this in you journal. Dear Diary, chinchillas sure are nocturnal. Check up your animal facts next time Trevor Ooh. You sure get nice coats at "World of Leather".

easy? I must need to be slapped!!!!

7:00 pm

pam, hello!

nothing official happens in here LOL

7:01 pm

do you need the he 10? it builds off the he 4 that is a plant from new zealand/goddess of spring

7:01 pm

hi, stid

7:01 pm

take the he 4 + ta 4 ("little man") to make he 8 which is a verby word, then nounify it for the 10...

nat, go ahead, didn't mean to stop you from spilling

7:01 pm

Yes, I need the 10,. but I wouldn't know a plant from new zealand if i tripped overit, LOL

7:02 pm

oh, it's a pretty short story....Christmas morning in a text message

7:02 pm

that just sucks, nat

7:02 pm

um, Nat -- is this personal and should I get the kleenex and a big pot of fortified tea?

7:02 pm

7:05 pm

Oh no Nat - you have broken up over babble? That's dedication.

7:05 pm

I think it went deeper than that, right Nat? babble was just another symptom...

7:05 pm

7:21 pm

LOL!!

7:21 pm

that's an awful long time Natasha -- {{{hugs}}} would it help if you went and looked at their room/s and then remembered how your living room and kitchen look when they're home?

7:22 pm

it would, if only my living room and kitchen didn't look like it does when they are here!

7:22 pm

It will take me a day to get my house to rights after the two weeks' vacation!

Une i have to get everything i like on dvd as tv is bad. Hey Natasha you miss them when there not there and you wish quiet when they are there

7:22 pm

I'm actually fine, just missing them a bit. thanks for the kind words everyone.

THe think that really upsets my dad is its senseless vandalisim and he has helped with the Juvenile Justice Department to help kids in trouble

7:37 pm

nose bleed annoying but this is what happens when you get sick (and yes im aware of the ewwwww factor)

goodnight dorens

ta 7 and 8 : take the ta 5 that sounds like the sheath for a sword, add a 2-letter ending that means little or diminutive

I call them brain escapes as thats how the ancient egyptians got ones brain out of ones head when they died

ah, nose bleed...sorry to hear that. You know, in my 50 years, I have never ever had a nose bleed.

Dont wish it on anyone

7:49 pm

7:52 pm

in fact, the art is so fine I can't afford most of it!

natasha, what do you call your CSRs?

7:53 pm

is it hard to sell fine art on the web? I mean, selling cookbooks (what I do) is not that hard on the web

7:53 pm

he 6-21 please

7:53 pm

Gwen, I am a CSR and wonder what other title I could have?

thats sounds like a cool job

7:53 pm

customer service reps at this point, gwen. I don't really like the term as they do so much more

7:54 pm

pam, it can be as some people really want to see it in person. however, we have a great catalog and we work with hundreds of nationally known artists.

1st th5,16 ??

7:54 pm

te + a movie dire**or+ 1st vowel

(adding word to list)

7:56 pm

it never fails to amaze me how easily people will drop thousands of dollars on one order--one woman bought $9,000 of ornaments this year.

Natasha i used to work in Guchi and it suprised me that people used to spend that amount on one bag

i used to work at a place where i wasn a team member -- you were absolutely forbidden to say "employee" (what a joke!)

so who needs a clue from this "non team member" LOL

7:59 pm

yeah, it really is a different world for some people, lady

7:59 pm

that is preposterous, gwen, I am sorry...

7:59 pm

8:01 pm

sometimes I think I should go back to being a therapist

8:02 pm

(is what i would have said to the owner if i had the guts)

8:02 pm

LOL, gwen!

8:02 pm

trtee = tree

8:04 pm

woo hoo...thanks ya'll

:-D

8:04 pm

hi, nut!

8:05 pm

hiya pammy poo

infernal, be 4 6 after the 4 9 is a common word that has been mentioned in this chat a zillin times

is that the moo cow one ???

or past tense of to be?

i meant the red vegi thing that stains

infernal, question does not compute. however when i said it has been mentioned, i mentioned it

ta i mised that top n

lol gwen

how does a moo cow relate to the red vegi thing that stains???? (cross-eyed look)

i ment i have the moo cow 4 9 and the red vegi thing that stains its the inbetween one i needed which i now have

oh, duh.

A cow is a steak, a milkshake and a leather jacket all in one

actuall, most be4/9 comes from steers, not cows

be** is also red meat and be** is red veggie?

. . . or so i have heard

8:09 pm

and possibly a best friend if one is very lonely

meh the taste good and look good

lol bubba you kill me

8:10 pm

clue for the 11 letter word please

bubba, where you goin' with that? LOL

8:10 pm

No place, I live north of the mason-dixon line

foflol

chris, take the brand name for plastic hamster tubes and end up with the 4-letter ending that makes a noun out of a verb

no deieverance movies for bubba

chris, not a perfect clue since the 1st 2 letters are he, not ha, but it sounds almost the same

8:11 pm

sorry dont have hamsters so dont know that name lol

happy cows come from wisconsin anyway (I love those commercials)

8:11 pm

Whgere men are men and cows are very afraid

(ignoring the sweeping generalization put for by bubba) LOL

lol

clue for the br 7 please

8:12 pm

does anyone have the first te,5

me too, since I live SOUTH of the mason dixon :)

chris, have you heard of charity that builds houses? Pres. Carter is one of their volunteers? start with that word

8:12 pm

br7, is what you do to get air in your lungs

8:13 pm

i mean the first te5,12

add 2nd vowel to one before lkady

all the BR words involve respiration

oops lady

8:13 pm

first te5,12, think shifting land masses, but end with a 2nd most common vowel

8:14 pm

tewe

8:14 pm

oops

plural the 6 then lady

he 4/8 ends with "to ** or not to **" -- the he10 and he11 build from there

8:15 pm

8:16 pm

(smack!) LOL

spez i am

8:19 pm

thanks bubba

8:19 pm

ok i have the jimmy carter thing but i can get the ending for that to make it 11

8:19 pm

chris, bronchitis is an inflam***** of the lungs

8:20 pm
