I seem to recall Dickens using that term, ANgb
back with icon clue
thanks stid - delightful
sorry. stid -- went to get an icon and missed your question -- yes, Chinese nanny (amah) from years before on another continent, remembered by a scent in NYC
Hi, everyone--here I am babbling when I THOUGHT I would be getting ready to fly to Texas tomorrow to see children. But--I'm in Boulder, where I'll be for the next 6 mos--not getting out of here tomorrow--first time I've missed New Year's with my girls in 15 years!
thanks stid - yummmmm
phantom word: protege
boker tov, ARB - and everyone!
Morning all! Has anyone mentioned CR 8/60?
Boker Or Melon - who is the lovely child?
new icon coming [probaly everyone has it by now]
What a bummer Miranda
that was yesterday's icon - she is the young actress Victoire Thivisol from the movie "Ponette" - I guess whe would be in her teens now.
Yes--I got in just in time for last week's blizzard--and now here's another.
someone post on here when licketys comes up
See, I'm showing my age -- I recognized Shirley Temple and Margaret O'Brien yesterday!
so did I
found ba 4,9 something you do when you get sick is ba**
lol, thanks rebel
holy mackinaw, arb and melon, you're just KIDS!
found ca 4,7...vicious animals are usually kept in a ca** to protect people from being killed
BO8/60
I take my hat off to you Jilli -- next week I will be 69.
and past tense, rebel
you mean ba4/9 is aword and insternet isn't?
found tr 4.4....horses sometimes tr**
ty moon
I mean internet isn't
gawd, i think I just had my 1st hot flash - not kidding.
Hi, all... can't sleep, so what else? I Babble. Question: one night I was poking around, and staying out of chat, and there was an extensive kvetch session about clueing before the first hour was up... I didn't get it, and stayed out of it. Does it depend on the people chatting? I do not want to start any wars... I'm a peacenik! :-))
ba 4,9 is something you do when you get sick....instead of hurl its ba**
Melon, my deepest sympathies.
peacenik here too, scarlet
lots of beginners here tonight
found dr 4,6....when you get out of the shower, u usually dr** water on the floor
I didn't like the heatedness of the discussion scarlet - so I am trying to avert my eyes at the present time.
LOL, jilli. That makes me very happy. What was the war about?
thanks - I'm recovering pretty well. Took a walk around a local park today. I really need to get outdoors - i looked in the mirror this morning and i was the color of bread dough - ick!
found bo 4,6....usually a pig but its called a wild bo**
Angb, LOL... This group is fun and very funny... more to my liking
scarlet, some experts like to find big words on their own and don't want hints of any kind
Sure - except with eye's averted - that is trying to miss the clues you miss much of the chat as well LOL
melon -- glad you feel like a walkabout outdoors!
ooh, grey R upper right - howdya like that?
That totally boggles my mind... if I don't want any clues, I don't look at chat... at all. So, I guess ignorance is bliss for me, anyway. Back to the grid!!
whee, melon!
have it jilli but had to giggle
ge 7/44
Hey Gang
Hi Faerie
thanks Faerie
scarlet -- they like to announce right at the beginning that they've found such as "b9" and see someone else say "k8" and try to find each other's words right away -- and the clever things do! But it spoils their game if anyone gives bigger hints.
Hey, Faerie
Hi Faerie
good, flosey -- didn't want to be boring!
kinda infantile, isn't it?
Hiya ((((((Angel)))))
Hi Metal
lol jilli - you're never boring
faerie, I have some news, and I need help. can I call you?
tearing
sure
bo8, cr8, and ne8. Which one am I missing?
I'm sitting by the phone
ba8 mkl
mkl - ba8
Thanks, Jilli. Hi Metall... How the heck are you?
mkl, ba 8
thanks autumn
hi everyone
hey, thanks, erda -- my longest word so far!
Oops. The ba8 threw me a curve.
hi, again jilli, i was "diggin' the grid" - yes, I crave outdoors. I'm going to do my own cooking tmorrow - my friends have been so generous, but I'm ready for my own food.
great news, melon!
thanks I have all the 8's now
i'm stumped by the ba8 - definition only please, no no "sheep sound hockey stick, hook, snake" type clue please.
brb phone :)
means a young child
tx jilli. I'm still probably a wek away from driving, esp w/the clutch, but i do feel better each day.
I have zero 8 words so far, but I'm patient...
Melon, it's a term that I think was used by Dickens
thanks muse 7 got it - though I had typed it earlier but apparently not.
sounds Dickensian
I just can't seem to see long words at this hour!
jilli. Three of them have the same 3 letter ending
in 7
I have ba8 bo8 and ne8 - what is the other 8?
a ba young child intrudes via my scottish background as a bairn
cr8
cr 8
todah, ARB
gaaa
oh, and it goes so well with the ba8 ;)
it's a child-oriented grid!
ooh - halfway - need 5 more 7 letters to reach mediocrity.
I tried a little simpson for the ba8, but no go (bartling)
close jilli
but stay with it jilli
hehe jilli - you are red hot on it!
bratling does not compute (I'm reaching a silly stage here)
You're only one letter off Jilli
jilli, change the second consonant of your simpson guess
trying...
1/2 done - calling it a nite
bye junky
night ohj
think the co-discoverer of insulin jilli....
got it finally, thanks to natasha hitting me over the head with it -- bye baby ba8, not quite!
oh yes, bj -- that would have helped a Canadian, eh?
'nite junky
47 left. Gotta run. Luck all.
ooh, hope you didn't mind that clue jilli. I don't want to spoil your fun.
tata, mkl!
Nat -- I was most grateful!
my 7s thus far: ab, be, ca, ge, ne, te. others?
oh good, I thought you were getting frustrated and you were so close!
nobody spoils my fun here -- I'm no expert!
night mkl
Insulin is fairly important to the entire world I should think.. Although I take your point, can't recall the discoverer of penicillin for the life of me...
a pretty darn sharp cookie jilli
jilli just clicked on your profile - interestin grid clue . . . must puzzle over it.
I have only one 7 ;)
Alexander Fleming, I think
in7,44
nice clue jilli.....
got it! clever!
tx frogtaco
penicillin was a Scot --
hi all
morning all, clue for in7 please
giggle, melon
yes, they are experts on letting their food rot, er, mellow out........
;p;
hi kierlex, oggy and all
No prob, melon. Glad to be helpful for once... :)
in followed by fate od bird, possibly
lol
so we owe the greatest life saver in the world to a botched haggis....
now now, bj
fate ot bird?
thanks melon - wondered where that one could go!
a botched haggis. what a concept.
sorry, od bird
speaking of fermineting - i am hooked on Marmite. my daily convalescent breakfast has been oatmeal - some days I add Marmite & buttermilk - it's an acquired taste i suppose.
25 words
fate of bird - sorry!
can i ever not type! sheesh!
Marmite is indeed an acquired taste and in my 79 years I haven't been able to acquire it, ugh
oh, it's like stout on a sponn, dontcha think?
sponn?
i've got another 32 years of resisting it to catch up with you jilli. Doubt it'll be an issue....
well, stout isn't one of my faves either
it's best on very hot buttered toast - very thinly spread - of course I loke anchovies, too.
Nope!!
thanks melon
spoon! is it my fault there's not a chatty spell check?
indeed an acquired taste - and with buttermilk! sorry, I like maple syrup on my porridge
ah, now anchovies are another kettle of fish altogether
dr7
I'll take pate or chopped liver, if we're going to be ethnic.
yw, oggy.
hehe jilli!
dum da dum dum -duMMMMM!
that was a response to the dr7 clue.
And of course I got your clue, Melon.
lol
hey, thanks for the tune, melon!
do you wear a badge?
it's probably age-oriented, again.
my mom made the best chopped liver - I made her bring the food grinder when she came for my Master's recitals.
30 words
seriously age oriented.
hi again - i think one of my dogs undid my router connection & i've been trying to get back on the internet for almost an hour - i think one of my dogs undid my router connection
hihelen
welcome, hk!
nly 3 7s to go
so, if I know the tune, melon, is that a good thing or a bad thing....got the word, though :)
so helenkeller... you *had* all the answers, but your dog ate it? ;)
only! stick keyboard - no not from Marmite.
I have my gramma's wooden chopping bowl and "chack-messer" - chopping knife -- I'm afraid to use it because it probably is harboring ancienet bacteria, but I still cherish it. I remember watching her and praying her fingers would be OK.
dottling
oops sorrey
that's a good thing - i guess i know my dahs & dums. "Name that tune" anyone?
scuse -- kitty was boarded over Christmas and I got her back today -- she's being very sweet and kissy and needs cuddling
hi babblers!
ah, got it melon, thanks, yes, the dums did it
hi fran
hi Fran!
that was an old favourite
hi fran
vp - haha - reminds me of a boy in school who had the best one i ever heard - he had his dad check his homework the night before & hi s dad 'mistakenly' put it in his briefcase & left for out-of-town on a business trip that morning - he didn't have to turn it in for another week!
hi muse! hi autumn!
Boker Tov Fran

not a fan of liver in any form, love anchovies, never tried Marmite but can tolerate Vegemite
barely tolerate it
yup, like chopped lover and marmite, arb!
thanks for all the icon clues everyon!

Okay, got my clue icon changed. I'm mortified that my last icon was from two weeks ago!

I am sure it is a word in some language fran
Yay ARB.
Well done ARB
yay arb!!
Yay ARB! this means here must be 137 words here somewhere!
yayyy ARB
got metal's bo4 clue, I think, but don't understand a word of the 2:33 explanations!
yes angb, our problem is we know too many words, more than enable will allow us to use.
congratulations ARB:)
lol lynxxx!
YAY arb!!!
2:33 ?
By the sounds of it the grid is quite difficult today, am I right in thinking
yay arb!!
There are! And I managed without a list until I had 102 words.
It starts really well ren *
it's not too bad ren8, i'm at 105 without the list, apparently the last few are pretty tough though, because i'm stalled.
metal, at 2:33 you said "2:33 ammetaleather it's a homonym for the evil little programs which deluge us with spam, and for the good little programs which assist us in chat... thing R.U.R. (from the science fiction story in which the longer word, starting with an R, for a mechanical man or automatically operating machine, was first seen in print.)"
Fran -- that's toughly when I hit the wall. With the list, there were only 2 or 3 that I had to ask for clues.
well, that didn't quite come out right
roughly, not toughly, though it too is appropriate!
Ive managed to find 12 words in the little time since I started
yes arb, amazing how they pop out when you have the list. :-)
or you can figure them out knowing where they fit in and with the point count.
I must need more caffeine... for some reason, I didn't even consider that 2:33 was the time, LOL@self
fireworks...
yay angelsong!
yay Angel

Yes, it's raining.....
I haven't been here much the last few days, and haven't seen much of kthdsn when I've been here. How's she doing, does anyone know?
It's lashing in Scotland !
i was planning on taking my little girl up west end for some sale shopping
metal - she has been on less than usual. Her hopes of getting money from her husband seem to be dashed and things no longer look as clear cut.
Morning Lizmac
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope she'll still be able, somehow, to start afresh in Canada.
Haz...you'll be having the same rubbish weather as here, foul isn't it.
morning lizmac
Hi Lizmac
Hello lizmac - yes, it's pretty horrible today, although yesterday was nice!

Mornin' metal and all

How goes it?
not too bad, I'm down to my last 14
much better than usual by this time
7 left for me...good grid today
lucky for some i still have 94 to

it's not a bad one at all. I could kick myself for taking so long to find the cr8, but all of a sudden it just popped out at me
I'm usually in your shoes lil
I didn't see it for awhile myself.
brb, need to check on cat
good morning everyone
Mornin' Eva
That's Fireworks for me...anyone need any clues before I go?
won't accept irae, as in dies irae....completely stumped on the i's.
in 6-27 is similar to entrap an animal
in 7/44 is adding the d to the end
just found the 5/12
Eva, put a consonant between your last 2 vowels.
thanks odin and gramma!
my pleasure
TY odin
YW gramma
Woo Hoo... Excel has given me fireworks :)
hi gramma. down in boston for a few days and of course have missed the first snow of the season! BAH. Does it actually look white up there?
WTG!
It's a bit snowy here in the Champlain valley but, my son said Fayston is quite the wonderland. You must have it don't you?
not in Boston. We head back to Vermont in a couple of days and I hope there's still some snow when we get back. Bostonis completely bare and gray.
Oh...I misunderstood. I thought you were back from Beantown.
haven't been in the big city for about 5 months. Been long enough so that I can sort of enjoy it. But had forgotten how noisy and bright it is at night. And it took a while to regain my driving aggression.
There's no room for manners while driving in the city.
there's no room for anything short of homicidal mania while driving here.
Eva, come home. Don't become one of them
Then when I go back to Vermont I find myself doing rude things on the road for a few hours before i relax and become civil again.
cat's fed and much happier now. good morning Eva, gramma
congrats Odin
Eva, do you have Merp w/you?
morning metal. Merp is still being patient about breakfast, but we're nearing the witching hour.
Yes, we took Merp because we weren't sure how long we'd have to stay.
Yes, we took Merp as we didn't know how long we'd be down here.
Well that answers that. Merp must travel better than my cat did.
He was awful in cars until the vet recommended giving him half a chlortrimeton about an hour before we leave. It makes him groggy and last just long enough for the Vermont-Boston trip.Now he just complains quietly a few times, at least until we reach the tunnel-then he howls.
half a chlortimeton? hmmm, maybe we can try that next time we have to travel with Rock
My Mom used to drug us for trips too. We grew up believing that we all suffered from carsickness.
you can experiment with the dosage. Merp weighs about 15 pounds and half seems right. Some people use valium, but Merp gets psychotic on valium.
what did she give you gramma?
dramamine....or something like that. 5 sleepy children
G'd Morning Babblers!
5 kids?! Sounds like absolute self defense on her part(-:
hi Lori
poor Rock just urps and poops if he has to ride in the car. we gave him something the vet gave us for him when we took him to TX with us, he slept from here until Lake Charles, then was pitiful.... crying, urping and pooping after he woke up.
Oh, I don't begrudge her ways. I think she was brilliant.
good morning Lori
May I have a word total please?
poor Rock. Worth a try next time.
137
Thank ye.
Eva, I always have trouble adjusting to driving in Vermont after I get beck from Boston.
hi gail. Where in Vermont are you?
Rutland
any snow down there?
My daughter lives in Boston
Just a few flurries, but I think more up north.
we moved from Boston to Vermont a bit over 2 years ago, but still have our old apartment here, as my husband is here some of the time. So Merp gets to be in his old digs, which he seems to like a lot
Where in Boston is your apartment?
Jamaica PLain
Morning - what's today's grid like?
not too awful matty
hi matty-not bad, not great
G'd morning Matty
Good morning/evening, Everyone!
morning merk
And my usual question ... how is the grid today? More normal sized I see.
G'd morning Merk
Hey, no 're' words? Yea!!!!!!
cat breakfast time. Back later
Later Eva
bento is not on the list of words. Any particular reason?
i cant believe it wont accept "bento"
on the a2z finder bento is there i thought it was a valid babble word
ba 8 clue please
Enable just doesn't accept some words.
hi all hi merk! "a very young child"
BENTO is not a valid ENABLE word, plain and simple
G'd Morning TO
ba word: forbid + double 20 (one letter twice), a bank with a lion (well it is in Aus)
don't you just love it when you log on and see all 4 8 letter words straight away!
what do you mean enable?
ata: : p
I wish ... I still have not found the ba very young child.
Hi all just popped in to say hi and have not forgotten you just been real busy Happy New Year to all
Atalante - it's a nice grid for the long words!
ENABLE is the name of the dictionary this site uses, it is published in the public domain
Happy New Year, Tiny!
Merk - think of a little chicken?
G'd morning Tiny, Atlante, Haz (and anyone else I missed)
well merk: think of a type of rooster - or the lightest boxer
Cyborg: Better update my spreadsheet :)
hi tiny! same to you!
hi lori hi haz
omg Haz, does Spangle sometimes seem to have no bones? Hobbit managed to get herself through a 4" gap in a fence yesterday, and I have no idea how unless her bones suddenly dissolved and reformed again at the other side!
Gosh, she could be in a circus with a trick like that!
Got it with the chicken/rooster clues. Did not know that was also a young child.

Hello TO and Lori.
ok I am off again see you
Bye Tiny!
Bye Tiny - nice to see you, however briefly!
I know! I have no idea how she did it, apart from sheer willpower to get to the pheasant on the other side!
Not many pheasants around here to see if Spangle could achieve the same trick.....
I feel dense, because I'm still not seeing the ba/8.......
zysx also this site uses the pre 2000 edition of ENABLE, but I think an update is imminent
.i've been searching for the br5/14 could someone please give me a clue my eyes have gone funny
Lori - b plus the picnic pest, then four letters of the branch of study which includes phonetics.
br5/14 - add a beverage to the cereal
cyborg: I have done something in Excel which finds the words for me. (probably a cheat). just want the correct dictionary :)
Or b plus a tirade
zysx that is why I am saying use the old version not to 2K version :))
hello, all and happy birthday to me! :-)
WOW! Thanks Haz. New word for me.....
You're welcome - and happy birthday Une!
haz1558 i've gone completely BLANK

G'd morning Wolvie
hi Wolvie!
cute pooch ata. :-)
pffff bodge should be allowed!
so it should - what does it mean? ;-0
I thought that Ata. After all I do it all the time!
to mess up something or to fix something messily / clumsily. so do I, Frances!
ah. I like that term!
Okay, there's 10 minutes of my life I can't get back. Looking for the ac 5/16. More coffee, stat!
My kind of word!
its a very very common word over here
Bodge is British slang for a clumsy, messy, inelegant or inadequate solution to a problem. (See also Kludge.)
I found it, and was instantly caffeinated.....
LOL - caffeine is good.
Like in - as a kludge I bodge a lot?
kludge? another one. if context provides definition, I think I just might resemble this one. :-)
I love those words, would like to know how to use them properly :) Is kludge a verb or a noun? Darn, found a 9. It is not valid. But what else to call a man with hair on his chin?
no idea sprite, but thanks for leading me to a be 5/16. :-)
sprite: i agree! : D
not sure about kludge, never used that one. but bodge - "well, I've bodged that up" "I'll just bodge that together and hope it works again"
thanks Ata :)
oooo we're all ar6/21 babblers!

Just don't sleep in my bed, Dorens :)
lol sprite.... you are safe!
But you are right, it is a nice grid. Easy too, except for a few not too common words.
have we ever had a grid without a few of those weird ones? I can't remember ever noticiing one
That is a tough question to answer. The longer I play babble, the less words I see as uncommon ;)
good afternoon everybody:)
Ha, fireworks. Hi jean!

Very much alive, actually, pink.
goodness, pinkhat--- no one here ever means to send anyone to the back of the classroom... at least not sprite!
As far as I remember I only asked you not to spell words out in the chatlog.
just a friendly reminder, I thought. I'm sure no offense was meant.
Luwanda: sounds like you are becoming totally babbled, lol.
yep, that's me - lol

OK you guys win, will check recipe and then go shopping. BBL
good luck inge!
later, inge..enjoy it
Has the same ending as the more flashy bullfighters, but the function is to stick things into the bull.

Bye latibug
bye, Lati.. hi Mom..
see ya lati
Not a chance Latibug, but it is fun to try
Hi Aloyisius
thanks mom... I was working on that one too
You're welcome Kc8501
hey all, I'm having a really bad day, mind if I whine about it a little?
we are all ears, kthdsn
Go right ahead
thnx for the clue MoM
it's getting harder and harder to keep going, I'm so desperate to get away, and this money just isn't going to show up, I feel so stuck
you're welcome rockimggramma
sorry Kate
I just can't manage any more, I can't stop the tears, I can't do anything useful, I can't function properly
kthdsn, is there a social services type thing you can go to... at least to find a counselor?
you just have to pull yourself together for the children ,im sure they sense that mommy is in a bad way
kt, I don't know the history here, but as Winston Churchill said (words I've lived by) "when you're going through hell, keep on going".
As hard as it is, you must pull yourself together for the kids.
oh wow, kthdsn.. so sorry ! Sounds like you could use some help to get through this tuff time.. don't be afraid to reach out..
I need so badly to get to toronto, and the only thing stopping me is having no money, I'm so sure that if I get there to my family everything will work out
you aren't going to fix everything so start with one small thing and build on it. Take care of yourself and the girls first. Start feeling good about one thing
I can't feel good thinking I'm stuck here, it's too hard, it's draining all my energy
Kth thats not the answer as you said your Dad said dont come without Money
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road your trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and its turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When they might have won, had they stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victors cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when your hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!
exactly what sudoku said. find something GOOD to focus on it, and force yourself to. Do some deep breathing. Meditate.
You can be stuck "anywhere", believe me.
can a family member come to you?
that is what i mean you have to stop the energy drain
Amen, Niamh
Exactly.
or, if it's that bad, are there local agency's that can help you get out? There are plenty in the US, but I'm not so good on UK stuff
you can do anything distasteful if you know you don't have to do it the rest of your life, and this will not be for the rest of your life.
kth - good to see you back - hang in, this is a very tough season to get through in your situation
it feels like I'm stuck here, I can't see a way out
just remember, you have many friends here in babble and we're all with you
to paraphrase the budda; life is impermanence. Accept that nothing lasts and move past it. HARD to do, but really, nothing lasts forever, so take comfort in the thought that it WILL change
I have learned to only look a few minutes ahead then a few hours and so on eventually you will make it to the end of the dark cloud
yes, sometimes you get through a day one minute, one breath, at a time
Words don't help sometimes so vent rant rave anything you need to do to get it out
I can't see the end of this, I can't see the next step, I don't know how to move forwards
kt, it seems like you're in panic mode... I know when I am frantic and going crazy even the most obvious things are hard to see
I deal with a lot of stress, and one very basic thing I do is simply breathe. close your eyes, take a deep breath in, visualize it being clean, and breathing out visualizing the bad going out
we will listen and be there but never give up
last ro 6/21 and ro 6/18..pls
sounds kinda silly, but it DOES work. Also helps to picture something good, something silly, a kid, a peaceful place blah blah blah when you do it.
I know if I had money I would be able to go, and I know if I can get there I can manage, it's just this hellish in between stage here that i can't handle, and I can't see how to get out of it
very good advice kc8501 it sounds simple but it has helped me through some tough times too
kc - good advice - works for me
I keep trying to feel calm and to think positively, but it's so hard when there's no end to focus on
heh nothing like a been there, done that. Know how it is kate. Baby steps. do one thing at a time. And try finding a womens group in the local area... believe me, they can be HUGE helps
but there is an end kth - don't give up on your aim to get to Ontario
I don't want to do anything to help me manage here, i want to do things to get me out of here, I feel like if I try to manage here I'll just be wasting efforts I could be putting into leaving, does that make sense
indeed it does kth
But kt, in order to get here, you HAVE to manage there.
Kate, you have to manage there before you can get to Toronto
yeah. but you HAVE to manage there while you're waiting to get to the ultimate goal. If you can get some stability there... it makes getting to the end easier
yes but is it realistic you have to manage there to get to Ontario
yes but is it realistic you have to manage there to get to Ontario
nothing doing towards the positive is a waste
Kath you really need to talk to someone - you could try ringing these people http://www.samaritans.org.uk/.
but with an eye to your future, makes it easier to face today
I wish that some guardian angel would step forward and lend me the money I need, give me the chance I'm so desperate for, but that's just not going to happen is it
Any goal one sets, is worth working toward. Sometimes it just ain't easy. There are no magic wands.
kthds - Why won't your family in Toronto send you money?
9 left and its fireworks
Go pink go!
Kate, the only person you can depend on is yourself. There are no easy answers
godthaab I've asked them to lend me it but they say they can't
I'm in on the tail end of this conversation, but I noticed it before christmas as well. Why exactly do you need to get to Ontario? Sorry for asking repetitive questions.
kate, you can do it! you got through Chrsitmas, didn't you, and that was a huge stumbling block a week ago. just keep going ...
You can get through Kate, one day at at time, always remember you have so many babble friends to talk to - any hour of the day there's someone here
kth,i will pray for you ,wish i could help you but we are on a fixed income,and it would hardly make a dent,
godthaab, my marriage broke up and my family is in toronto, I need to rebuild my whole life and my dreams and everything, and I want to do it there with them
last ro 6/21, ro 6/18 and to 6/21..pls
Sorry Rockimggramma, I don't have any of those
to 6/21 - have you the added up one gramma?
rockimggramma...ro6,21...something that smells bad because it's ro***d.
Why won't Toronto send you money? What kind of family is that? (Sorry to be brutal)
And change the first letter of that one for a ro 6/21
maybe because they don't have it, godthaab?
I'm just asking.
Thank you Angb and Sbada
yw Mom
ba4/9 hahahahahaha. didn't think babble would accept it
lol, why not when it accepts sh4, and others
flosey, hahahahhaahha good point
gotta go, bbl
Later Flosey.
see ya flosey
bye flosey
Kate, if you have not already done so, call the office of your elected representative. Ask to be directed to an office of agency that might be able to help you. Call. If there is no help there, ask the agency if they can direct you to another place. Look in the telephone book for charitable agencies--some may be able to help displaced or indigents. Keep calling and keep asking. See if your job is still available. If James is not providing support, talk to governmental agencies that may provide assistance. Keep calling and asking. There has to be some help for you.
better to try someone like the Samaritans here, they have phone numbers and addresses of every charity and aid place possible
I agree with Babble, you are going to have to go looking for the help. It will not magically appear on your door step.
the government won't help me babble, they don't help good people who need help, they help lazy layabouts who have no intention of helping themselves
but, the key is, you have to take the step, and no one can do it BUT you.
Ring the Samaritans kath - you will achieve anything without trying. I am absolutely sure that there are people that will help.
maybe some legal advice would be good, too... like, if you leave, does that negate the possibility of support payments for the children (if he claims that you left him).. dunno... just trying to stick up for your rights
Generally, the Canadian Governments will not assist in travel, unless they're in a danger area.
*will not
Also, custody proof would be an issue for any assistance
You may be surprised what your elected representative can do. Call. It does not take long and you have nothing to lose trying. One thing is for sure. Doing nothing will get you nothing.
I don't need legal advice, we're not fighting over anything, we are in complete agreement about everything we have planned, I just can't afford to leave
not over here, babble. someone like the samaritans *will* be of more use. MP offices probably won't be open till after New Year anyway
okay... then start there. The idea is to do something besides talking about it
they won't be able to pay my debts and give me money to make a new life though will they
How do you know?
Blunt, but true. All the talk and venting and advice is usless until you empower yourself.
when your kids are in bed, give them a ring. if nothing else you can talk to someone, at the best they might be able to help
can i have some help on the pi7/40 and the pr6/21 please.
Sorry Pinkhatlil, I don't have those
pr 6/21 is a south african flower
yet ...
pi + E*qu**** (the country)
Atlante,
Atlante,
I don't want to start over explaining the whole thing to a new bunch of people who will just listen and not be able to help me leave, I really want to DO something to get me closer to going, but I don't know what I CAN do, I don't feel like ringing someone and reliving the whole painful mess will help me right now. I could be wrong and stupid but that's how I feel
pi 7/40 is a billfighter I thinl
*think
geez, LoriP, I would never have gotten that one
*bullfighter
thanks for those wicked good clues :)
Kate, although I am very deeply moved by your plight, everyone (probably much older than you, including me) is telling you to be a person of action. The worst thing you can hear is "no", and then you move on to the next series of inquiries. You should call Samaritans... miracles do happen, even in our darkest moments. Please try. You'll never know what the other side of the situation is until you move forward. You have so much love and caring here in Babble, but we cannot do this for you.
They can't help you Kate, unless you tell them.
Thanx Scarlet
kate - start doing odd jobs for people, cleaning house, mowing lawns, shopping...do all you can, then you can set your own hours
:-) Angb
LoriP that was a great help thank u so much
Okay, I need a 4 letter word please. The pr 4/5's. I have the pr + vowel/vowel.
Lori - Just rearrange the order of your vowels....
ab7,36?
and to add to what Raelite said, you will feel better about yourself by helping someone else
reverse the vowels for the other one
pr - chinese chairman M** and reverse
Atlante, maybe because they don't have it, godthaab?.....Perhaps I am not good at reading implications in e-mails, but a) I was not asking you. b) I may be wrong, and I certainly hope I am, but I detect a self righteousness about your resonse. Perhaps you didn't see my e-mail about me jumping into the middle of this conversation, nonetheless, if your reply was indeed sarcasm, and I sincerely hope it was not, don't bother venting it on me. You do not even know me. If I read this incorrectly, I apologize. Thank you,Godthaab
ab - someone who joins in a crime
mkl, extend the ab 4,6
you can earn money quickly - babysit, clean kitty boxes..anything - have your kids decorate some flyers and deliver them to your neighbours
Ack! (slapping forhead) Thank ye all.
maybe you need cattle pr**? (the stick to move them along)
thanks to bubba and angb
ac 5/16 and be 6/24..pls
then you don't have to talk to anyone about your situation and you can get some CASH
tw mkl
goodness me godthaab! I think I'll bow out of this conversation now. *hugs kate*
You are out of line, godthaab
ac 5/16 - when you are doing really well - like at cards
I'm listening rae, really I am, but I don't see how I can get *enough* money by doing those things
dr7,40?
be 6/24 + one who gambles
be 6 - like the ab 7 without the a
kt, it can be done. You need to know that, or it will not ever happen.
dr7, compound word, like the TV show of yesteryear
That pr 4 letter word annoyed me all day. (pout)
dr7, starts with dr4,7 + what you uyse to take fish out of water
thnx bubba - didn't see that one.
kate, one dollar/pound at a time. Eventually, they'll add up.
ty
kate, instead of using your energy to talk about what you think you can't do, use to do what you can....even if you think if futile. You just never know until you try.
dr 7/40 is also the name of an old TV show
One last clue? pi7,40?
thnx for the other clues.....ca 6/24 and or 5/16..pls
I was just asking a question. Perhaps I am not as internet-savvy-reading-between-the lines such as yourselves
my last word, do5,16?
A type of bullfighter - starts with pi 4/6
What you said was unwarranted, godthaab.
mkl - pi7 - choose an entrance!
I guess you're right, it's just so hard to see
do + *** and panties ensemble
pi7 is the person who stabs the bull in a bull fight, starts with pi4,6 + homophone of what you enter a room through
There ya' go kt. You'll see it, when you start enacting it. You can do it.
It is, kate, truly it is. Still, you have to try!
the pr7 is driving me crazy... any help?
Thanks all. That took care of my 7's. I'll work out the last few on my own. Thanks again
pr7 - a Roman magistrate
it's a start at least though...(sorry had to work for a moment)
bugzy... sounds like what a lion or wolf is, without the d
pr 7 get down on your knees and ***y + 2nd vowel + small hill

ca 6/24 and or 5/16..pls
If you continue to live in the problem, then you, yourself, are part of the problem... it is the solution which requires your highest instincts, and total abandonment of ego. Yes, telling your story may seem tedious and painful, but people must know the details. They won't help you based on your emotions... just the down and dirty details. Yes, it can be humbling, but you must ask.
hi Haz!
TY Haz, KC and Ang... I was going from the wrong p... duh!
ca6/24 - relating to rhythm
ca+ if you bang your car you will get a **** in the door
Hello Atalante - how are you?
ca6/24 - ca + small hollow where something got bumped
or + whatr you sleep on
getting boggled by roots in sprite's tattoo - I've finally got some time to finish working on it! woohoo!
Good for you - do you get to do the tattooing, or just the design?
I think I'd faint if I went near a tattoing needle thing!
And I'd faint if anybody came NEAR me with a tattoing needle!
thnx...fireworks for me
Yikes, Haz, you say "get to do" like you'd love the chance to do tattoos yourself!
it's just so difficult, I manage to get myself motivated to try and do something, then I have no idea what to actually do, and it wears me out
Yay for rockimggramma!!
Yay gramma
I believe in you, Kate - you can do this, just don't give up!
Congratulations, rockimgramma!
so would I LOL
It takes courage, Kate. You must... for yourself, and especially, the children. Courage and gumption. You can do it.
No, Vicuna - absolutely no desire to tattoo or be tattooed!
Phew!
kate, is there any reason your spouse cannot watch the kids in the evenings etc? so that you can get a parttime job?
I'd love to learn to do henna tattoos though
Aha! 137 words. Done!
Because if we had a mad tatoo-er on Babble, things could get ugly! ;)
yay lori
Good job, LoirP!
yes kc he works evenings
A less likely candidate for the mad tattoiist of Babble, you are never going to meet!
does anyone have a hint for the bo 5/14??
bo + ***ist
bo = painting
I had a well paid job but I quit when i thought I was able to leave, stupid decision I know, but it's done now
bo5/14 - add Mr Garfunkel
does he work days as well? its hard, but when times were tough, the mr and I did that... also decreases time spent near each other
thank you haz!
no he only works evenings
kt, you did what you felt was right at the time. Now, you will do the same again. The right thing foir this time, this point in your life. Never look back.
You're welcome!
pig like + tall letter
Can anyone hlep with bo 6/33 pls?
there you go... hardest part is always childcare... maybe the old job would take you back on as well?
bo + the painter ****s
no, when i told them I was leaving, they said my contract was up anyway, I won't get it back
bo6/33 - a Spanish grocery store
bo6/33 - Spanish wine shop, rhymes with Suzanne of "Tom's Diner"
it's a spanish market... or... he has a hot bo* + anagram of how old you are
Kate, you are trying to find funds to get you and the girls to Toronto. You are indigent. Presently jobless. Ask if they may direct you to someone to help you. It is not going to happen as fast as ideal. Nonetheless, without trying, the situation will only get worse.
ty everyone
couldn't hurt to call and ask... even if they don't have something, they may know someone. It is, if nothing else a starting place
Hugs, Kate. My fireworks are for you, and now I must make banana bread for the Saturday family brunch. One of these mornings you will awaken and say: "This is what I SHALL DO" and procede to do it. You are an intelligent woman who has had her slats knocked out from under her. Re-Slat! *love*
Congratulations, Scarlet!!
Congrats SCarlet!
bravo, scarlet
and believe me, you will feel SO much better when you force yourself to take that first step and you start moving forward. It's hard, but it's worth it
thanks scarlet, and everyone else
Congrats all who had fireworks while I was on the phone.
fireworks!!
Thanks, BR, LoriP and Alo. This was a fun one, too, and the last word was an ro4, which drove me a little batty.
Fireworks for me - 2 in a row! Where do they get some of these words from?
Fireworks for me - 2 in a row! Where do they get some of these words from?
We are pulling for you, kate!
Congrats Broony
Congrats steve and Broony!
Congratulations, broony!
wahoo to steve and broony!!!
Must go and run an errand. Be back later to try for the 67 I have left.
What's an Everton supporter doing living in Newcastle?
Yahoo!!! steve and broony!
Congrats to stevedallas too!
hello babblers!
Hi all, help with pr6/21 please
Hi there Fran, you are in the grid today
congratulations to the recent finishers.
Good morning FranMag.
Thanks Scarlet - last word for me was the same ro4 - hence the comment!
Hello, FranMag.
And now, the boys and I have 2 squash pies, and a coconut cream pie to bake for a family get together tomorrow. Have a great day all! kt, believe in yourself. We do! :)
hi peri! hi haz! unfortunately i haven't been added to the enable dictionary yet, still not a word!
hi vicuna!
Cya, LoriP
bye lori!
pr6/21 - South African plant - could be seen as the slogan for those who favour a particular hot drink
broony: I think interplanetary visitors left their dictionary on the last visit, and Babble-maniacs are paying the price. LOL
I'm going to go and apply for some jobs in Toronto, I doubt it will work out but it's a positive action that I can manage to make myself do now. I'll come back later. Thanks all
thanks haz! great clue!
Good luck, Kate!
Glad to help, FranMag!
Oh, that explains it, Scarlet. I always assumed that the Enable dictionary had been compiled by speakers of Tagalog or something.
later kate! ((hugs))
go for it, kate.. good luck
Best of luck with that, Kate. *Love*
bbl... break time
There's a saying at Everton, Hazel. Once a Blue, always a Blue. It tends to be true - unless you are called Rooney! Got supporting them from age 7 collecting album stickers and never looked back! Season ticket holder of 11 years now!
Bye, Aloyisius.
Bye, kth. Good luck.
i have ne8 and bo8 which i felt so clever for finding, what do the other two start with please?
thanks Haz, was working with the wrong P
LOL, Vicuna. Tagalog would be easier. Yesterday I saw Apocalypto, and the language was fascinatin.
vicuna, i know for a fact it isn't because i keep trying Tagalog words and they don't work!
Fran, ba and cr
ba 8/60
thanks folks! *off to search*
cr 8/60
Glad you got the word, peri.
cr found! thanks again.
I have no desire to see that movie, Scarlet, but I agree it would be interesting to listen to the dialog.
hello all got an hour or so to babble-busy time of year-any clues ar 6/27 and ar 5/16
lol, Fran. The Tagalog words don't work because they were *trying* to make and English dictionary!
br 8 is a c0-discoverer of insulin
help on ba 8/60 please
I think most word-lovers have an "ear" for other languages, and hearing ancient Sumerian in another Gibson epic was equally fascinating.
ar5/16 - add a shortened form of a female name - a judge in Israel, or Miss Reynolds in LA
thanks babblerabble! google found it right away!
If Gibson works his way through some of the world's disappearing languages it could end up being an incredible boon for linguists. (Assuming he's really accurate with them.)
ba 8 -- b + picnic pest + a sensation if a fee****
ba8/60 - b plus four letters of the type of horns sported by reindeer, then the gerund ending
thanks got it
I did not know who discovered insulin...now I do. Sir Frederick ba 8/60. Babble is educational.
broony - sorry, missed your post earlier on. Do you not feel somewhat outnumbered by the Toon army?
phantom: pirate...i'm sure renfield is a little miffed about that.
Actually, his name is Banting
FIREWORKS for me
Lest we make fools of ourselves in table quizzes everywhere!
Well done, periwinkle!
grr... last word.... ab7 anyone???
yay peri! you beat me, i still have 25 to go.
congratulations, periwinkle
any hints on ar 6/27
uhm, the 1st one
kc, haz' icon has a great clue for it.
One who helps a criminal
It's either the past tense of ab5 or the one who helps as in ab4/6
n/m got it!!! fireworks!
ar6/27: moving in a curved line
yay kc!!!
now I can go home! wheee!
Well done!
I saw the DaVinci Code this week and was disappointed. I enjoyed the book so much more.
arcing
yep, Majmom that's the one LOL
sorry-and ty swmbo-did you have a nice xmas any news on janice?
hi torg!
No, what is wrong with jamice???
see you all tomorrow
Bye periwinkle!
Toon army are a fickle lot Hazel. There are lots of them granted - but they'd do better to support their players and board rather than berate them. The only way in which Newcastle is a big club is the size of the stadium - it's trophy cabinet is pre-decimal!
i cant make out the ac5/16 i know haz you just clued it but im blank as for the pr6/21 lets not go there bye perwinl
I wish tagalog words would work! (wandering back in the convo now I'm back from letting pup out)
ginny`s sister said she had surgery for ca of thyroid not long ago-just heard
ment to be periwinkle
NO!!!
I know what you mean. They seem to change managers at dizzying speed.
ac5/16 - just add the most usual ending.
i dont like to call -dont know if she wants it known or not other than fellow workers
hi ata!
ac 5 - add the gerund/participle ending
I have an embarrassing confession to make... I don't actually know any Tagalog vocab. :/
pr6 - the last three letters are those of the most popular English hot drink, the first three letters indicate being for something.
hi fran :) and Vi! no! that's disgraceful! :)
It must have been really recent as there was a reunion meeting just before Christmas at her house. I couldn't go because of weather. I am going to call Mugs and I'll get back to you with whatever I find out
lol vicuna!
if you hear anything let me know-otherwise good xmas here all kids were here some still here
Belated Hi! Fran!
I'm deficient in the old tagalog as well.....
pr 6 -- those who pay the $14.99 become a pr* and oolong is a ***
mahal kita vi and haz ... even if you don't know any tagalog ;)
I should know some tagalog - I live in a Pilipino neighborhood ..
I was about to do a little quick googling and find something to say, but Ata has saved me the trouble!
thanks to u all who have helped me its fireworks can i help anyone :)
Pinkhat has fireworks!
Congrats. pinkhatlil
left a message on Mugs' phone. Could you email me your phone #? I can't find it and I also am between computers so I don't have your email address to hand either :)
(So, umm, Ata, what does that mean, anyway?)
congrats pink
But do you know any tagalog, torgone?
thanks haz and bab-rab
Yay for pinkhat!
ata, i'm always trying to use filipino fruits, but so far the only one that works is santol.
yay pinkhat!!!
(I love you Vi and Haz even if you don't know any tagalog) *grins* I don't know a lot, just bits and bobs from when I worked in Palawn for a few months
will email shortly
thanks. Back to Babbling
that's cool ata!
Mabuhai is the only word I can think of right now - Welcome!
Well, that's a nice word to know.
mga daga means lots of rats. see, I know really useful tagalog!
I do like pancit and loompya though . .
Awww... shnorakal am, Ata!
So, can we find the word for not, so that we know how to say, lots of rats not welcome?
maraming salamat po, thank you very much
That applies to my workplace, Ata ..
Help with pr 7/32 pls?
and the place we lived over there!
Or, maybe, Konoronhkwa, too.
sorry - I have it!
sounds lovely ata! :-(
Back again - Hi everyone whose arrived since I was away. What is this tagalog?
pr7/32 - Roman magistrate
it was a cabana on an island in the middle of nowhere!
Tagalog is a language, spoken in the Philppines and in varying degrees in Babble land.
bye guys speak to you all tomorrow ; )
hi angb! it's the official language of the philippines
Bye pinkhat.
Useful ...
thanks for the pr7 clue vicuna!
actually angb, since Filipinos are slowly taking over the world, it will be useful some day. :-)
53 words to go and will have to resort to the list... evening all...:-)
hi denny
Very few make it down here -
Hi Denny
Hello Denny.
Except as wives ... if you get what I mean
...that you know of angb
what other iknteresting languages can we represent between us?
Kosraen
Kai ora Ata
Mine are the usual, nothing very different.
And I spelt it wrong! LOL Kia ora
i've got a bit of sign language but that is no good here lol
do you speak any irish gaelic, haz?
definitely derived from Polynesian angb!
Hardly any, Atalante.
jambo! habari gani = Hello, how are you in Swahili
Gidday - Kiwi and Aussie hello!
len wo - good day in Kosraen.
Kosraen?
'ey oop me ducks - nottinghamese
from the island of Kosrae, my mother's island.
Talofa - hello in Samoan
where is Kosrae?
wotcher mate - Woodstock, Oxford
Bon sro lanh oon - I love you in Cambodian

Ngh oh - cantonese
Hello ex-Wren - that made me laugh!
ty fran
ba8?
ia ora na - welcome in Tahitian
rito n isha - "a doctor on an isolated island" in Japanese
let's get back to basics!

Malo e lelei - Tongan.
Hello exwren
ata, my sister did a stint in the Peace Corps in Ulithi, one of the outlying islands of Yap.
ba8 - a small child - think of a small boxer, or hen, take the first four letters of that and add a consonant and the present participle endING
Hi Fran, like your icon, haven't got around to changing mine yet
makatan uyutan - "I don't understand your language" in ancient Maya
thanks exwren!
wow ..... its a diver's dream destination
lol vicuna
Kia ora - New Zealand Maori. Kia orana - Cook Island Maori
(That's the derivation of the name "Yucatan")
mrrrrooowwww! Silverclaw language for hello? where are you?
ata, Kosrae is not as well known, but also very nice for diving.
bo 6/33 any clues?
one day when I have lots of money I will get out to Micronesia ...
Sorry about all the hellos but in Auckland we have so many Polynesian cultures.
bo6/33 - Spanish wine/grocery store. Extend the preceding bo4/7
thanks vic
yes ata, it's very expensive to go because Continental has a monopoly on the air routes!
or you could join the peace corps
hi all...ar5/16 please?
ty haz
that's really cool angb.
thnx haz
I'd really love to spend a year getting random ships between all the islands and just bum around diving again
When speeches are made formally - there are many hellos in different languages
hafa adai - general greeting in Chamorro, the language of Guam
ar5/16 - add shortened version of Miss Reynolds or the Biblical Judge Judy forerunner
But when would you babble, Atalante?
well, if you get to Kosrae, i'll let my aunt know to look out for you ata!
good point, Haz .... what's wireless like in Yap, fran LOL
thanks haz! strange word
And what about Hobbit!!!!
It's interesting the different Pacific Islands that we "look" to. Guam and Phillipines from the US perspective. We look to Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Solomons
You're welcome, FranMag.
sorry haz...doesn't work for me :(
you can take dogs diving these days! really! but yeah ... I couldn't leave Hobbit for a year!
Okay, try ar plus the first three letters of the opposite of credit.
Hawaii has a full mix of all the islands, lots of Micronesians here now also. of course Polynesians have been here for a while.
ty....that worked haz :)
Still, you can dream (sorry, I'm Mrs Sensible)
That's good Cathyar.
ata, you'll just have to get hobbit certified to dive!
maybe less than a year ... :) any time in the middle of nowhere diving is good time!
Hello Babblers!
hi tingy
Good afternoon tingy.
hi tingy
hi mo!
anyone got some clues for the 8's other than the bo 8/60?
Is this your garden, mo?
hi Fran
Haz...no....wish it was.
ba8 is a very young child, it uses the same ending as the bo8
ne 8/50 - annoying someone
It's lovely anyway!
cr8 is what you do with a baby, same ending, rock in a cr***e
ty Ang
yw Jean
it is...thats why I picked it.
Anyway, time to be off -see you all tomorrow!
ty fran, not getting that ba tho
bye Haz...see you.
ba8, small roosters are called ba**am, add that common ending
being nosey now, how did you end up in Hawaii if your family is from Micronesia, Fran?
ty got it now but never saw that word before
is there Babble for the Learning Disabled?
Down to 21 left - no list ... not sure I can make it
ata, my father met my mother in Kosrae when he was doing his doctoral thesis, he was a social anthropologist
they lived in Guam where he taught at the University of Guam and that's where i grew up.
he was born in Hawaii and we used to visit his mother and sister here over the years
wow! that's the sort of thing we get in films over here! "Jungle adventure for single scientist, finds native love and absconds to Hawaii" ok, that's silly but you get the idea!
but the reason i moved here was to be with my husband who has lived here since he was 5, he is Ilocano from the Philippines.
you have had a wonderfully interesting life!
yes ata, a "storybook" romance of a different kind.
I've applied for 16 jobs, I feel a little better, but I don't believe I will hear back from any of them so I also feel kind of pointless
what time does the puzzle change.
yes ata, i've been exposed to many interesting things.
maybe diving into the grid will take my mind off it for a while
9 more hours
you're lucky :) such wonderful places! do you dive?
is that usa time uk time?
i have been certified ata, but i have this weird thing where i get seasick snorkeling to the dive site!
last time i dove at night i had vertigo and had to throw up in my regulator. ick
pinkhat, it's 9 hours from whatever time you are in.
oh I do too! its pretty common. seasick tablets rock :)
it's been many years since i dove, probably 12.
hi kth
Hi all, could I have clues for any of the i words?
i never thought to try that ata. i got certified to be able to dive with my boyfriend at the time.
ad 5/16..pls
hi jilli
its been too long since I have either. husband keeps insisting on going to non-diveable places for holidays.
in6/27, in + i know why the ****d bird sings
good luck with the job-hunt, kth -- and grid-diving is a good way to gather your wits
Thks franmag
ir5/12, think of "really mad" and then change last consonant
ad5/16 - a kind of stucco used in the Southwestern U.S.
irage
I got the in7,44 from that FranMag.
oops
thank you
who said they had seen Apocalyptico? was it good?
ty again FranMag
well what do you know strider! that's the 7 i'm missing! *smacks self with a ca4/6*
thanks for the ir, fran
yw jilli
FranMag - it happens.
kate, 16 applications is a lot, i'm sure you'll get a couple responses out of those.
I hope so fran
I'm convinced that they will be put off by the fact that I live in the wrong country though
ata, i don't know about "un-diveable" there are people that dive in frigid lakes!!
what is the "right" country, kth?
well, you never know kate, they could be looking for someone just like you and not care where you are.
I've applied for jobs in toronto
te 4/4 right after te 7/36..pls
zoop, i don't have all the Ts yet, the one i have is a canvas dwelling.
can dive anywhere :)
tent
oh..no sorry
that's the one zoop! :-)
sorry...direworks for me
i just can't imagine getting all bundled up to dive in murky water that's almost freezing! something for everyone i guess.
I'm done with the grid, so I thought today would be a good day to download an appropriate icon.
yay zoop!
It didn't work!
yay zoop
good one joy.
i can see it in your profile joy
depending on your profile, it may take a while for it to refresh.
Oh...there it is. It changed. I hope it doesn't give too much away.
goodmorning
Hi lynxxx
well, people that aren't familiar with the series from the 60s may have a hard time with it.
hi lynxxx!
thanks joy, i didn't think of that one!
and hi again all
hi heather!
yours are pretty, Fran. I just learned recently that CA** are a type of GO******. Live and learn, as they say
Hi feather
i'm checking out all icons now for ones i missed
kth, I tried to go to your cowbags website as shown in your profile but it isn't there any more, they say -- ???
glad to help, feather.
hi Feather
I have a photo for a harder word that I'm going to change to later on...maybe about an hour before flip
i got to it jilli.
it loads for me jilli, was very slow though, maybe they are doing maintenance on the server again, they have been having trouble lately
ok, I'll try again later
how many left heather?
48
now I'm diving *plop*
20 for me, just about to take out the list.
you only go diving in cold water bundled up in a nice warm dry suit - and you do actually feel *warm* in them!
17 left here .... can I hold on?
have you tried it ata?
go angb go!
15 here - still finding w. clues and monkey
woo hoo lynxxx!
okay, i'm not getting the list then
ohhhhh yes - essential for diving in the UK, let alone anywhere colder! I really wanted to dive in Greenland, but the facilities weren;t there to allow it :(
hmm, maybe i will too
9 left. I think I will be able to finish.
Yay strider good going
go strider go!

ah, thanks! wasn't even looking at that clue
Hi debb
a person in las vegas (ab7/36)
And Frances
lmao, now he's chasing my dog with it
kth -- I tried cowbags again and got this message: There is no website configured at this address The domain cowbags.co.uk. is not hosted on this server.
Hi Ang
i was just going to ask you if daniel was taking a nap!
nope, giggling and saying "run away"
hi frances!
jilli, i can get in fine
hi debbs!
oh that's very odd jilli, I don't know why it would do that, I'll look into it
weird, fran!
jilli. try www.cowbags.co.uk
feather, never discourage a boy with an interest in cleaning supplies!
hee, he's actually getting some stuff up!
just brought it over to me to check out
no kidding vicuna! my son used to like to sweep, so we bought him his own broom.
(Of course, when my kids "help," they just make twice as much work for me!)
He'll get over it ..
Alas, don't we all, tor.
that was it -- the www was missing -- thanks fran!
lol, i hope not torg
I sure did ..
now for some lunch -- back soon
am i catching up to you fran? 32 left
well, you should be able to get in either way jilli, maybe your isp wasn't allowing it.
it shouldn't need the www, I'll have to investigate, at least it works though
i haven't found any words yet, still at 20
12 here
fussy isp, I guess! I tried it on both Netscape 7.2 and IE7
lynxxx you're streaking ahead
back in a while...
sort of lurching really!
I've got 27.
it's like when babble was updated, some people could get in with just babble.com before www.babble.com was working.
i'm not seeing the ac5/14
feather, portrayed on a stage perhaps
ac5.14 ac*** on stage
It's what the ac5/12 did.
past tense of act
sheesh. i had teh other form too.
it's those hormones!
I'm stuck on the O, any clues?
lol!
Well, I have one left and I guess I am brain dead. Any clues for the te5,10?
i'll wait for clues with you kate, i don't have either yet!
An aquariam fish strider?
or5/16 - or + sleeping furniture

hi jmann!
Hi JMann
how about the N on the right?
Hi JMann
fran, you're in the grid!
:-)
not legally, but you know...
kth, a type of battery
i'm still confident enable will add me one day
kate, it's a contraction of the the two elements in the battery
ni and another name for a roue
22 fran
18, but i don't have the list out yet
12 here ... and very slow.
stop where you are and let me get the list set up
ah, i do
ok, stopping
I'll have to keep looking for that one...
oh there it is
I cant find that n...how many letters pls
i had stopped at 20, btw.
ni5
5 lynxxx
TY
ni 5,14 - last 3 , think of a rake (that's the man, not the tool)
gah why can't I find my last 4 LOL
TY strider - I had found it - I was looking for a longer word
(hmmm... I wonder whether Enable would accept "gahs"...)
it SHOULD do!
I looked too Vicuna - !
but it does take e4.7 along same lines !
brb
But it's so arbitrary with exclamations. Even more arbitrary than with regular words, I mean.
It already has modern interjections like eg4/7 ..
Am missing a c - have 10 cas, 2 cls, 2 crs - what am I missing?
'modern'!
and how it gets brrr as a word I'll never know
must be another ca
another ca angb
okay, ready heather
thnx vicuna
Well, it IS pretty cold in the Enable offices.
I'm bac. knitting was fun spent too much money
Hi Luw
What with coal rationing and all ..
Hi Luwanda
heather?
What they need is a sort of series of tubes that can carry information... yeah, that could work!
lol vicuna!
cn the tubes carry words we request to be added?
like fran?
We could call it... an "internet". And we could say it was really high- "tech"! Yeah, and then we'd be so excited we could have a "fest!"
and "email"!
I'm taking a break - will get the rest later ...
later angb!
But then... maybe not. Sounds impossible. Let's just give up and eat some feta.
as an aside, email is actually in the collins english dictionary - was added last year, so emailed, emailing etc are valid words
bye Ang - good idea, might do same.BBL
and make some etuis
later lynxxx!
don't forget ferriers
And by the way, brrr, it's cold in here!
Have another ro4/4 of coal, vic ..
lol, tor. I never even looked up that ro4 til now!
But one ro4 of coal isn't going to get me very far!
ok fran, ready.....set...go!
Speaking of random, did anyone look up the na4/6?
"a neighborhood movie theater."
obscure's an understatement for ro4/4 !
Yeah, why on earth is that random bit of slang a "real" word, but any number of others are not?
who knows!!!
Sigh. Every time I think I have come to terms with the vagaries of Enable, I find that I am not yet resigned...
same here .....
A lively sense of injustice is, on the whole, a valuable trait, but not really doing us any service here!

ENABLE isn't limited to words under an arbitrary length, so it is also eminently suitable for other word games such as Anagrams and Clabbers, and crossword puzzle solving."
no!!
"most authoritative"??? It is to laugh.

They rhyme ..
Kinda ..
pi 7/40 - a bullfighter starting with pi 4/6
ba8?
now I did have that one aloy, prolly why I am overweight lol
lol, gramma
Then use the last three letters for the end of the li. Start it with pass your tongue over minus the k
one who wins is the v*****. replace the v with l
ba 8 - means young child. Start it with ra 4/4 but obviously change first letter. then put li 4/6 on end
just finished with the funny word to6.21, dunno what it means but I think it is a past tense. Bye babblers.. have to go watch the sun set.. (-:

hi all
Hi candyman
what have you found in the pantry? i'm imagining 10 year old vegamite or something like that.
hi candyman
Not that bad - we renovated house last year and replaced kitchen. But I do my grocery shopping from memory. So I am set for the next disaster.
Ill be glad to help anybody.
Why I need 15 tins of spaghetti is beyond me
lol
i suppose you could give anything too excessive to a food bank
I need the to 6/21 Please.
That's true ... And take all the kids outgrown clothes while I'm there. We have our summer holidays now. So am having a clean the cupboards and throw out time.
penpooh, past tense of a small child (sort of)
Baking with the kids the afternoon
how fun angb
can't wait till mine are big enough, we used to bake with my mom all the time
Yep - it's easier now the youngest can read ... less mishaps
to 6/21 like to 5/12 but double letter
We painted suncatchers the other day
oh yeah, i keep forgetting that part carlir! :-)
thanks got it now
Do you guys not use that word as "added up"
Think lynxxx has gone out with the dog
i'm actually considering home-schooling my kids, won't have to worry about for another year, but i've been told the public schools here are really bad.
i've never used that word angb.
yes, i think she'
I would have loved to do that ... but am principal breadwinner here. Pity about the schools. I reckon you would be a good homeschooler
she's in the city, so have to use a leash.
No it is more like moving something only with out that extra t
the to 6 is in common usage here.
Don't you love the english language
that's funny how a word can be obscure for one group of babblers and common to others.
like shebeen from the other day
all the europeans knew it.
That I had never heard of
back - sage bush pruned as well as dog relieved
And the na 4/6 today ...
waiting for your fireworks lynxxx
You multitasker you.
never used it either, but english is my second language
We're waiting lynxxx
i've never heard of that na4/6 either.
We'll let you off carlir. What is your first language?
OK then - looking for ca5.14 and not the army ca*** - ?
Stick a vowel on the fish
lynxxx, plural of wrist bones
TY done then
Oh, Fran, you would be a great homeschooler!
Yayyyyyyy lynxxx
yay lynxxx!!!!!
i might actually do it, i have about a year to research everything. might as well use my education for something.
what did you do before the kids Fran?
I homeschool, Fran... =) some days are better than others... well worth it, to me
The only thing to watch is the social side of development - but I am sure you are aware of that
cool, spec, i may be talking to you about it later then
sure thing
lynxxx, i was in retail, best position was as a buyer for boutiques
i bought Ferragamo and Hunting World (which you probably haven't heard of)
Anyway - back to the pantry - see you all after the flip. Have a good day/nite
bye angb! see you later
Thx for your help as always fran

sbaba, to carry or a type of large bag
Got that one....I need another to 4,4. But thanks!
hi everyone. May I have a clue for the ab7/36 please?
hk, it's really a very interesting company, here's a link for when you're really bored and have nothing else to read: http://www.huntingworld.com/english/br and_history_01.html
to + vowels
sbaba, you probably need the first to4/4, foot digit + a vowel, it's a foreign currency.
biltong, ab7/36 is one who assists a criminal
Hi Helen K nice to see you
hi yvo

hi stid
hi stid
I have 74 to go -- spent today doing house stuff and some time at my mother's looking at photographs of people who died before I was born... trying to identify them from other photos where names were given.

hi, stid

not neck & neck anymore :(
hi stid, just dropped back in myself. i enjoyed ch. 83. I want one of those stones!!!
{{ExWren}} Hello! I am sorry it's not good weather for you. Hope you are well.

oh helen, i was spurred on by your "dang - all grey except for 1 t" thought you meant ALL grey, not all T's grey
LOL
woo-hoo me! I am down to 60 listless and clueless!
are you kidding me? hahaha
I was amazed at you, and it definitely spurred me on!! yay stid... ii went to 100 listless on this (*but can't pretend not to have garnered a few clues from the chatlog)
still listless here - but may break down soon
oh i broke down and used list in the last twenty minutes.... sorry, helen that might be viewed as cheating!
i forgot that i wasn't using it before your hubby came home....
Dorens, I like the pic in your icon... you had cute kids!
aha!
going to list now
waiting for helen to get list...
thanks stid.... they were (back then! in 1985) sorry helen, tht is what helped me speed up as I did.. that + the thought ofyour lightning speed over there
i have one left but i will wait too!
haha - i have no lightning speed at this point, in the beginning, maybe, but now it's definitely quicksand speed :)
I was so proud of myself last night, got the 8s so fast! :-) then I slowed WAY down...
i'm still missing 2 8's
i have just begun to do iron sudoku ... they take me a really long time
want clues helen?
I don't do sudoku -- or chess. Not the kind of thinking I enjoy or do well.
down to 11 now - yep def easier with list, lol
dorens - do you have sparkies?
ba, bo, cr, ne for the 8's
woo-hoo helen!
i have to admit i do helen! was stuck on the ga6 for quite a while and then it just came to me

ty helen..... now go, girl, go!
oh -- YAY Dorens!!!!
yay, dorens and all finishers
never heard of the ba8
, thanks for the clues
me neither pam, but process of elimination.... only certain things would work.
yep
helen, I see how fast you are on the sudokus.....how on earth do you do it?
6
go helen go!
I know how she is so fast.... she is just basically a lot smarter than I am! *grin* but I bet my house is messier!
don't know stid... don't think you'd want to see h ow messy mine is --and living alone, there is no one to blame it on!
FIREWORKS
YAY exwren
(living alone, no one moves your stuff around either!)
no way stid - my house is way, way messier, haha - i just e-mailed a friend today & told him the dished were piled so high in both sinks, you couldn't even get a glass of water outta there, lol - company last night & then collapse
wtg wren
YAY ExWren!
hello arlene!
woohoo, exwren!!
wd wren!
hi mama
dorens - i am only fast on the easy ones & there have been a ton of those lately
Une -- is that you in your icon? with the pretty puppy?
well-- what you call fast... is lightning!!!! and until today it took me what seemed like an hour at least for the easy ones!
you gotta admit - today's was really easy :)
yes i do admit that/ i did it in under 30 minutes which thrilled me. I need to learn some strategies, tho... I know it could be faster if ii had the right approach
I can't do sudoku - even the easy ones would be too hard
i will say that i have no idea what those people are talking about with the x-wings & all that other stuff
That's how I feel ExWren -- once in a while I decide to try, but don't usually finish. I let myself quit when it becomes tedious.
that's a relief.... i ithought it was a foreign language that i was deficient in.
I know the theory, but can't make it work
i figure i don't need to learn any fancy words for what i'm doing & i don't really need to completely analyze it either
Anyway, I'm off to bed now, goodnight all
you obviously have a very logical and mathematical mind
good nite wren
night wren
We got stidmatt a glass sudoku for his birthday this month. I like that you can rearrange the tiles physically. Will see if that helps me -- I am a VERY hands-on person!
good night Wren! sweet dreams.
night wren

stid, i think you could easily do it if you set your mind to it... simple logic basically. slow going at first though (at least for me)... GO HELEN!
hello all - how is everyone tonight?

congrats helen!
YAY HELEN! (you didn't even give me time to draw breath)

da + *** ocasik (of 'the cars')
hello Kahlua!
hey ya stid
thanks for that one, helen and Dorens! my first clue!
i am not a math person, but simple logic works well for me... and i think of it as a means of training that part of my mind (or exercising it) that does not work as well naturally.....trying to ward off Alzheimer's
??? I feeling a little dumb...I don;t get either of them
1st to 4/4? Probably an easy one but I have monkeyed everything I can think of...
Da + nit*** acid?
kahlua, I don't get them either...

Da + I love Lucy's husband
it is bad to have alzhiemers if you are a messy person & can't find things to begin with - a friend sent me a book & i need to return it to amazon - but i couldn't find it anywhere - until i realized it's still in green wrapping paper sitting on my printer a foot and a half from my actual eyes!

*wanders off to babanon to check out GW's submission*

help with the in's please?
wolf, put in a "pen"
Hey, can someone please clue bo6,33? But if it's "boobie" I'm quitting right here. :)
"Brassiere" is first recorded in a Canadian advertisement of 1911, and in the U.S. Index of Patents for the year 1910 (published in 1911). Dictionaries derive it from obsolete (17th century) French brassiere = "bodice", from Old French braciere = "arm protector", from bras = "arm". (The French word for bra is soutien-gorge, literally "support-throat".) In the southern U.S., a bra is sometimes called a "tit-sling". This has an obvious derivation. Wallace Reyburn, to whom Thomas Crapper owes his current fame, wrote a later book describing a lawsuit over rights to the bra, fought from 1934 to 1938 in New York, between a German-born designer, Otto Titzling (1884-1942), and a French-born designer, Philippe de Brassiere. Martin Gardner, in Time Travel and Other Mathematical Bewilderments (Freeman, 1988, ISBN 0-7107-1925-8), p. 137, says: "The book by Wallace Reyburn Flushed with Pride: The Story of Thomas Crapper does exist. For many years I assumed that Reyburn's book was the funniest plumbing hoax since H. L. Mencken wrote his fake history of the bathtub. [...] Reyburn wrote a later book titled Bust-up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling and the Development of the Bra. It turns out, though, that both Thomas Crapper and Otto Titzling were real people, and neither of Reyburn's books is entirely a hoax." On its AOL message board, Merriam-Webster Editorial Department writes: "dull though it may be, all the available etymological evidence indicates that the word derives from the French 'brassiere' [...]; there are many examples of the use of 'brassiere' in the women's apparel sense throughout the 19th century -- in French. [...] Given the word's history and that country's language heritage, it is not surprising that the first occurrence of the "brassiere" in English comes from Canada. [...] We can find no verifiable evidence that anyone named either 'Titzling' or 'Brassiere' had anything to do with the origin of the term."
and it's past tense form
frog, a spanish neighborhood store

snopes.com says the titzslinger thing is false. details later

happy sleepytime, harpjane
frog -- I thought that as well, but didn't know who else here was familiar with Warhammer 40K
off to get tomorrow's icon
lol, probably just you and frog right now, although i'm sure there are others.
Chances are not too many Babblers. :)
is warhammer an RPG?
Warhammer 40K is a far future tabletop wargame from England
Yes, but first and foremost a miniatures (think toy soldiers) tabletop game.
ahhh
Oh--the Warhammer 40k RPG isn't out yet.
well, you never know, babble attracts all kinds of gamers.
Warhammer is it's sister game which is set in the earlier history of the same universe so they could have a High fantasy version as well
28 minutes wolf, how you doing?
I believe the fantasy version predates the far-future version, however.
hmmm -- I may change this icon
btw, thanks for all the help so far folks -- down to 15
Hey, I'm at 15, too, but I don't think I'm up for a race. :)
You'd be coocoo to keep it...
yeah, DrB - lol
Feels like old times -- I can't remember how many times before Seb was born I would enter the last hour with more words than minutes remaining :-D
