Hi mundy and jilli

12:19 am

chic - love your icon - i remember the first time i saw him in person, in 1987 - he did an awesomely cool number to 'secret agent man', wore a spycoat, had a hat, used a lighter -this was way before the stadiums were packed for ice shows & everyone had front row seats, lol

12:19 am

chic -- who is your icon?

grrrrr - ramen is so a word!

12:20 am

chic

12:20 am

Jilli, he's brian Boitano....

12:20 am

agreed, melon (hi!)

12:20 am

what do you suppose he would do, if he was here right now?

12:20 am

hi melon

12:20 am

I should have recognised him, chic!

12:20 am

I saw him once in Seattle too, Helen. He's one of my faves' skaters...

12:21 am

chic- do you remember the skate off between the brians at the olympics, that was way cool too, they were both awesome, i loved how one wore blue & the other wore red & i loved that spin with his arm straight above his head - that's incredibly difficult to do!

12:21 am

12:23 am

LOL melon !!!!!!!! you were ON A ROLL !!!!!

12:23 am

12:23 am

Too bad I had those

12:23 am

Too bad I had those.

12:24 am

gry Q :) - now i will put the cursor back in the grid . . . .

12:26 am

i'll be cheering you on melon - bye libdawger

12:27 am

jili - i remember watching that as a kid & just being glued to the tv & had tears in my eyes by the end - then i saw it just recently & i sadly all i could think was, 'what was the big deal' - it's nothing compared to what they do now - but i sure remember how awe-struck i was!

12:27 am

good nite lbd - thanks for your help, wouldn't have finished without you

am7 :)

12:28 am

agreed, helen, but they broke ground and opened the door for todays' pyrotechnics

12:28 am

that's for sure jili

12:29 am

Diets suck, melon! @ excellent new books are 'The Idiot's guide to Healthy Weight Loss' and 'You on a diet'

12:29 am

on the other had -- how often today have you been so emotionally affected by ice dancers?

12:29 am

hmmm, i was going to go with flo-jo, but i think now i'll go with my all-time favorite ice dancers, brb - oh no, or should i go with my all-time favorite pairs - decisions, decisions ---- what to do?

12:30 am

greyed the D, hehe

i plain & simple eat too much. my triglycerides are up, tho cholestreols are just right - the trig's are from being overweight and eating too many simple carbs. once i'm back on the bike I will be able to eat a little more. right now, i turn to celer stalks or unsweetened herbal tea to cope.

12:31 am

the last ice dancers to take my breath away were b & b - bestiamanova & bukin - - - although there was that other couple that later got divorced, i can't remember their names - going to go with the pairs, i can always change later

grey A :)

what's up jilli? i got the D now!

12:33 am

we are sooo clever, melon!

12:33 am

In late in the chat - but the ones I will always remember helen are torville and dean

oa7 X 2 :)

12:34 am

angb -- did you see my icon?

12:34 am

oh well, melon, if you're going to be like THAT....

12:34 am

hey melon -- thank you

12:35 am

Aaah - it has not changed from yesterday's - saw it on your profile. Lord - those two gave me ... unmentionables

12:37 am

They changed the term from ICE dance to Ice DANCE.

12:38 am

got one oa7, thanks, melon

s'OK ARB.

12:38 am

and the other one

12:38 am

Hi all! Hope everyone is in rare form tonight!

halfway and i got all the 7s - close enough for jazz. clues for the 7s anyone?

12:39 am

what is the 4th one besides the oa's and am?

12:40 am

hi babbz -- and who is your icon-man?

way to go, jilli - you kept me in suspense!

re, what else?

12:40 am

Michael Jordan

babbz dude is #23

like Erda said. . .

12:41 am

ah got it. thanks melon!

12:41 am

well, some of the babbler don't watch the NBA

12:41 am

babblers

laila tov everyone. happy to say i'm feeling good - but my sleep habits - - - oy.

12:42 am

laila tov melon - sweet dreams!

12:42 am

True true, jillibus, but I guess if I had to name an amazing athlete, he'd be tops on the list. I'm from Chicago, so have some bias!

12:42 am

melon, don't go on a diet now -- just heal and lose wieght later!

babbz - i well remember his 69 pt run against the Cavs - poor, poor, Craig Ehlo!

12:43 am

nite melon

12:43 am

babbz -- for the sake of those who are igonorant, how about introducing him in your profile?

12:43 am

troth

12:44 am

oops -- sorry

12:44 am

good one, erda ;)

12:44 am

ty

12:45 am

chic i just watched a program on "you on a diet" this evening with dr. oz. Great program...I bought the book and haven't read much of it yet, but plan to do so ASAP!

jilli, I'm eating well - lots of lean protein, dairy, & vegs - it's just i'm so inactive. and I do get in a rice pudding once a day, so I'm not suffering. but thanks for reminding me to not overdo it. i'm sure giving up nighttime ice cream binges won't impede my recovery.

12:46 am

Melon, can you give me a hint on the am 7 -- my fingers have been worked to the bone and it eludes me.

what we swam around in antepartum - different suffix

12:47 am

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

12:47 am

Babbz, I've only read a few chapters but it's very good and it does coincide with the other book. I just can't diet anymore, so I had to get smart about it.

aaaaaah, indeed! 'nite all {poof}

12:48 am

I also got me a personal trainer that I work with twice a week, to get me going.

12:50 am

finally - back with my icon - geez everytime i go to google images i spend an awful lot of time just looking at pictures, like going to the library for one book & looking at everything else that catches my eye, hours later . . .

12:50 am

laila tov melon

12:50 am

I hear you, chic. A year ago at this time I was 35 pounds less, lost that much on Weight Watchers Core program but apparently had my head screwed on wrong for the past year and gained it all back. I'm with you - I just can't diet anymore. It has to be a life change.

12:51 am

She sits on a rock in Copenhagen

1:52 am

i know the statue, but didn't know it had a name.

1:53 am

it's not her but him

1:53 am

could I get a clue of the am7?

1:53 am

And it is what she is, not her name

1:53 am

mythological creature - upper body man, lower body fish

1:53 am

am = it is or sounds like the fluid surrounding a baby in the womb

1:54 am

2:02 am

2:02 am

There always seems to be a slowdown at midnight our time!

2:02 am

why bother jilli - different shot

hiya guys

2:03 am

O

2:03 am

I'm from a golfing family, tho I didn't get anywhere with it

2:04 am

sleep well Jill, see you Monday?

2:05 am

I used to golf - liked it a lot. Anyway, Babe was so great I guess she deserves a double dose. Earlier I had Torvill and Dean up but everyone was showing skaters and someone else picked T&D so I changed.

2:05 am

indeed - she did a lot for women in sports

2:06 am

Yes, I plan to go Monday -- see you then

2:06 am

good, been a long time

2:07 am

yes! now *poof*

2:19 am

any clues for fr5/20 please

2:20 am

or is there anyone in the chatline

2:20 am

sorry flosey not there yet, morning

2:20 am

fr5/20 sounds a like like a mate, a pal

2:21 am

replace the N with the letter before

2:21 am

hi sparkly, was afraid I was working alone here!!

2:21 am

Hi there flosey ... fluffing around. Can't get my head into the grid tonite

2:21 am

hi flosey! am here, just working away :)

2:21 am

I know the feeling Angb

2:22 am

Just hear a friend has died. Expected ... but still very sad

2:23 am

it's always sat Angb - lost an online bridge buddy on new years eve

2:24 am

Not a good way for a family to start a new year ... never mind ... gave both my boys huge sloppy kisses and hugs before they went to sleep. That's what matters

2:24 am

The family I was talkin about initially was the woman's family - really not making sense tonite

2:24 am

indeed it does - mine are all out on their own so just see them occasionally

2:25 am

I just read your profile flosey ... are you still floundering with Babble?

2:25 am

LOL - I thought you were doing OK

2:26 am

oh no, guess I should change that - I wrote it back in June

2:26 am

yes, I usually finish

2:26 am

Excellent. Funny how you get to know stuff ... not sure what the stuff is ...

2:26 am

had all the words of that big one but didn't get them in under the line

2:27 am

I go back and forth with Lickety that's how I didn't get them in on time, they were in Lickety

2:30 am

I took those words out of my profile Angb

2:33 am

I can't seem to make that fr5/20 add up !

2:34 am

neither can I !!

2:35 am

Good morning everyone.

3:08 am

hello Jac

3:08 am

Good morning

3:08 am

It looks like the changing of the guard! Goodnight to flosey and good morning to the Brits. Hello Jacula.

3:08 am

Hello all - am enjoying last few days before back to work on Monday - more time to babble

3:09 am

hint for the top middle 'c' (not the fluid filled sack)

3:09 am

lol - I was thinking that very thing Haz

3:09 am

Changing of the guard!:)) Hi Haz.

3:10 am

cy 4/8 --- an hour glass helps with the ti**

3:10 am

Just checking out your butterfly, Jacula - what a beautiful colour!

3:10 am

TY BabbleR

3:11 am

It's a British butterfly, Haz - an Adonis Blue.

3:11 am

(Pic's a bit squashed up on here though.)

3:12 am

It's not familiar to me at all - butterflies have something against a country with cold, damp summers......

3:12 am

thx babbleR

3:14 am

i need 4 more words in order to go to bed (or so i tell myself).... Hint for the 'o' in the midde of the far right column,

3:14 am

or4/4 for that one

3:15 am

or 4/4 - table scrap

3:15 am

With a p in front it would be a plural place for ships to dock

3:16 am

ahhh. thanks much haz

3:16 am

You're welcome - bed getting closer......

3:18 am

2 more words...!

3:18 am

ugh. whatever that means! thanks haz and babblerabble...

3:21 am

The e's are em4/8 & em4/5, unless we're looking a different grids.

3:22 am

Something to do with electrical forces - it's been in before.

3:22 am

Mornin' Everyone

3:22 am

Morning, Odin.

3:22 am

Good morning Odin - nice to see you.

3:22 am

Hi Odin

3:22 am

Hey Jac

3:23 am

Morning lynxxx and Miss Haz

3:23 am

yeah, 60 left. offffff to bed at 1:23 am with work in the morning isbn't that STUPID STUPID STUPID =)

3:23 am

Hangin' in the Haz...unemployment has a way of making Babble easier to finish!

3:23 am

good night

3:23 am

It's ill-advised, kierlex. Don't be hard on yourself!

3:24 am

Sleep well, kierlex! I left yesterday's grid unfinished and was in bed by 10pm. Bed seemed more appealing.

3:24 am

Hi to all who have arrived and left while I have been mucking around

3:24 am

nite Kierlex - theres always the morning before you go to work !

3:24 am

Hi Angb.

3:24 am

Hi Jacula

3:24 am

Hey Angb

3:24 am

Hi odin

3:25 am

hello AngB - and thanks for the latest bunch of guys arriving from NZ!

3:25 am

odin you have moving penguins - wonderful

3:26 am

Odin - LOL, re the penguins. I love that bit of film.:))

3:26 am

Isn't that just the best thing Ang - i love them!!!

3:26 am

Hadn't read that we had sent more firefighters ... are those fires still burning? Our papers have been filled with the normal Xmas and New Year murders

3:26 am

TY...I feel a little like they one being slapped...position eliminated at work last week...never saw it coming.

3:27 am

Odin, I hope you have good news on the job front - although it's nice to have you around here as well!

3:27 am

Oh, Odin. Very sorry to hear that. I hope you find something new soon.x

3:27 am

Oh no odin. Why at Xmas? Good will to all men Bum humbug

3:28 am

sorry meant *bah - but the original comment is fine too

3:28 am

Oh Odin. Thats just awful. How are you feeling/coping.

3:28 am

Happy New Year! They had todo it before the end of the year...so many had it happen.

3:28 am

fireworks

3:28 am

Yay seano

3:28 am

Well done seano!

3:28 am

Congratulations seano.

3:28 am

Congrats Seano

3:29 am

I'm fine! I was only there 6 months but my old company negotiated a contract and I will get a 60 week (full salary) severance package...actually I am terrific!!!

3:29 am

WTG seano

3:29 am

You want to contribute to the Haz holiday fund?

3:30 am

lol Haz!

3:30 am

Oooh, the begging letters have started already!

3:30 am

I was first in line!

3:30 am

It is odd isn't it? They would rather pay me to Babble than to actually be there?

3:31 am

Odd it may be, but enjoy!

3:31 am

Wow - the certainly will make the 'parting' a little easier.

3:31 am

Speaking of holidays, Paul told me yesterday that he's taking me to Amsterdam for a few days in April for the 'significant' birthday I have coming up then.

3:31 am

Going to look for something after I get back from Vegas in March...until then Babble it is!

3:31 am

good morning everybody:)

3:32 am

Mornin' jean

3:32 am

Nice Jac!

3:32 am

Hi jean

3:32 am

Hi Jean

3:32 am

Hi jean.:)

3:32 am

oggy are you there

3:32 am

That's good to hear, Odin, and Jacula, 40? You don't look old enough.....

3:32 am

Good morning jean!

3:32 am

lynxx - It should be. The bulbs will be in flower then. Haz, 40? You're so kind.:))

3:33 am

It's something to look forward to anyway - do you think the rain might have stopped by then?

3:34 am

Haz - who knows?

3:35 am

I hope the rain's stopped by the summer; this year's holiday will be camping in North Wales.

3:36 am

And are you looking forward to it?

3:36 am

There's also a weekend in Dublin (my suggestion) planned for some time this year for about 25 of my old schoolfriends to celebrate our joint '40th' birthdays.

3:37 am

Watch out Dublin!

3:37 am

so - if some-one could just 'flip' the planet, then both problems would be solved. UK would dry out and Aust would not have drought, bushfires, and Stage 3 water restrictions and heat!

3:38 am

lynxxx - we have floods in our South Island

3:38 am

The camping, Haz? It'll be fine if Wales stays dry for a while and we don't get the mad Liverpudlians arriving right next to us a midnight, putting up scaffolding (yes, really!), lighting a fire and boozing and nattering all blooming night.

3:38 am

lynxxx - if the planet flipping could be achieved gradually then it would be a good idea.

3:39 am

Yes, a sudden flipping of the planet would be somewhat disasterous.

3:39 am

You sound like a seasoned camper, Jacula. Industrial strength ear-plugs might be in order for the packing list.

3:40 am

How is a round object flipped?

3:40 am

Silly question, but what was the scaffolding for?

3:40 am

Weird Ang - I saw a picture of NZ (satellite) where there was snow on the beach a few months ago

3:40 am

Haz - Thing was it was pouring with rain and blowing a gale (it was November) and they still sat out there!

3:40 am

Carefully.

3:40 am

hi all :)

3:40 am

Mornin' Ata

3:41 am

Good morning Atalante!

3:41 am

Hi ata

3:41 am

Oh BabbleR - you are being too logical!

3:41 am

morning atalante:)

3:41 am

and the planet does flip ... kind of ... through geological time

3:41 am

Haz - the scaffolding was to chuck a tarpaulin over so they could cook under it. Well, try. They gave up in the end and opened cans of beer.

3:41 am

Morning Atal

3:41 am

Hi Ata.

3:42 am

I suppose it shows forward planning (tent, check, food, check, sleeping bags, check, scaffolding, check)

3:43 am

LOL Haz

3:43 am

raincheck?

3:43 am

more fun with a spaniel. spaniel, check. dog food, check. food and water bowls, check. lead, check. car harness, check. treats, check. dog bed, check.

3:43 am

lol Haz

3:44 am

LOL, Haz. We lay there in our sleeping bags, wondering what the hell the hammers on metal noise was. I said to Paul, 'It almost sounds like scaffolding going up.' He looked out of the window and said, 'Bl**dy hell. It is!' It was so funny.

3:44 am

I'm really interested in the sort of checks that Odin can hand out........

3:44 am

VERY good Haz!!!!

3:46 am

BBS I've cooled down enough to move - so must get coffee

3:46 am

Postwoman's just brought my post-Christmas bank statement. Think I need another cup of tea before opening it. BBS.

3:47 am

Another begging letter for Odin?!

3:48 am

Possibly...

3:48 am

Something alcoholic may be better Jac.

3:48 am

They told me the check is in the mail....hhhmmmmm

3:49 am

Odin - not at 9:49 am.:(

3:49 am

LOL

3:50 am

Jacula, a friend of mine has a husband who logs onto the internet bank account when she goes shopping just so he can keep track of where she is and what she's spending. The thought!

3:51 am

morning all :)

3:51 am

Morning mia.

3:51 am

Good morning miametro.

3:51 am

Haz - what a horrible thought!

3:57 am

phantom: quarantine

3:58 am

Aw, thanks Sprite. If you do go next year, be sure to visit different places so you can tell me about the ones I missed.;)

3:58 am

Phantom: memory

3:59 am

lol! Promise - partly! 'Cause some places sound too much fun to visit to leave them out :)

4:04 am

Hi All, is Biltong perhaps logged on?

4:04 am

I just used up a gift voucher and bought a little flip postcard book called "Thats Queen Bitch to You". Picture 50s type glamorous housewives and slogans such as....

4:04 am

not atm, Koeks

4:05 am

phanton: ransom

4:05 am

Well, it's after 10am. 29 words left to find. I must feed cats, wake up bunnies and g/pigs, bury poor Joey (in the soaking wet garden) and then get ready to meet my Mum to do the weekly shopping. I'm sure Haz will be eagerly waiting to help me put the groceries away when I return in a few hours.;)) See you all later. Haapy Babbling!

4:05 am

When you make your mark in the world, be careful of men with big erasers....

4:05 am

Thanks Sprite - will try again later.Have a good day all.....

4:06 am

I was on a diet for a month and lost 30 pounds....

4:06 am

Bye Jac *hug*

Putting away groceries - on a par with - I can't think of anything worse!

4:06 am

Later Jac

Granchildren are God's reward for not killing your kids...

4:08 am

Kinky as a cheap garden hose....

I was just passing bye - Wow - what a time to do so ;-)

4:08 am

Never underestimate the man or his package...

Hahahaha sprite!

4:08 am

Hello lickety!

4:08 am

lickety said a wo-ord, lickety said a wo-ord

My package needs some attention sprite, can you help?

4:09 am

lol

Hi Haz!

4:09 am

...because chocolate can't get you pregnant....

4:09 am

*adjusting package so no more words will fall out*

4:10 am

LOL sprite

4:10 am

So many men, so many reasons to sleep alone....

Ok, package corrected, Arrr, just right

4:10 am

Just when I remember, there was an article in the paper yesterday about some of the stranger questions that have been asked in the London Tourist Office. Some of the gems included 'Why DID they build Windsor under the flightpath to Heathrow?', 'What time does the Loch Ness monster surface at night?' 'Who performs in the circus at Picadilly' and 'Does the tube line go to Edinburgh?'

4:11 am

those are really brilliant questions, LOL!

There are too many more I could think off - but - it would affend!

4:12 am

I had a mind once, now I have small children....

4:12 am

I like the title one, lynxxx

4:12 am

lol love it Haz lol

4:12 am

Damn right I am good in bed, I can sleep for days...

4:13 am

the article, haz, for people's amusementL http://tinyurl.com/y3yjp3

I just got sent something which truely shows how stupid us men can be (not offensive to humans) : http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?i d=1845064&page=1all

4:13 am

Thanks, Atalante - it gave me a laugh!

4:13 am

That's it...I may offend if i put any others in...very funny!

4:15 am

Hi Lickety

4:16 am

its sooo fab

Hey lynx! Great weather in Syd! And you?

http://tinyurl.com/y9n3lb is a tiny url for that other bee thing I posted

4:17 am

awful awful awful. way too hot & lets not talk about the bushfires and water restrictions.

Comes in cycles lynxxx - make the most of it now, and get ready for the next cycle

4:20 am

That bee thing.... I am speechless. Which is saying something.

sprite - I know - Male stupidity at it's best

4:25 am

Morning everyone

4:25 am

My favorite fridge magnet says "Who are these kids and why are they calling me Mom?"

4:25 am

morning Kazzer

4:25 am

As the rednecks say "Git R Done"! It is truly a wonder they didn't sting the hell out of that guy.

4:25 am

Hi Kazzer

4:25 am

Hey Kazzer

4:26 am

morning Kazzer:)

4:26 am

Or burn up the complete swing set.

4:26 am

I've just viewed the bee thing. Why didn't they put the fire closer to the house? That would have satisfied me. They were honeybees for goodness sake. Leave them alone, they would have flown off again.

4:26 am

I don't know why st5.10 & man wouldn't be there as a word - really common occupation

4:26 am

Hi Kazzer

4:27 am

am away, bbl hopefully happy babbling everyone:)

4:27 am

bye Jean

4:27 am

Bye Jean!

4:28 am

4:29 am

I agree, lynxxx.

4:29 am

phantom: torment

4:30 am

bags not cluing the Hs

4:30 am

see ya jean

4:30 am

clue the H's? Greet a male...

4:31 am

(well more than one male)

4:31 am

Now that is a pretty clue!

4:31 am

good one zysx

4:32 am

can't believe I tried oreo again.

4:34 am

I keep trying fyre, fyth and syth over and over - they would be such nice words too!

4:35 am

They look more normal to me than many words that ARE valid, anyway :)

4:41 am

Is one of the Qs an uncommon word? I have the combo, but can't find the 3rd one so far.

4:41 am

I have a qu 6/27

4:42 am

its pretty common Sprite - 6 letters

4:42 am

Is it strange or am I just blind?

4:42 am

ah, ok, thanks, will go hunt on.

4:42 am

and qu 4/8 and plural

4:42 am

think galaxies...stars etc

4:43 am

Doh - that did it. Pretty common indeed, thanks.

4:46 am

I have 3 Fs - a worry, and a pair of what is on my coffee. Can anyone give me a small clue for any of the others - need a kickstart

4:47 am

One sounds like german strange

4:47 am

the coffee one has a third

4:47 am

ahhh - TY

4:48 am

and one is plural fold of membrane - kind of babblet.

4:48 am

Still missing one myself

4:49 am

take the worry -drop the last letter and add a doctor abbreviation

4:49 am

Good morning, everyone. I haven't had time to babble lately, but I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year

4:49 am

Back at you Pap

4:49 am

TY Odin

4:49 am

hey Pappou, best wishes to you and yours!

4:49 am

Ah, got it. Running to and ....

4:50 am

thank you

4:50 am

Hi Pappou. All the best for 2007 for you too

4:51 am

lynxx, we had so many losses in 06, that 07 has to be better for our family

4:52 am

Same here, Pappou. Let's wish for a real good 2007 though, and not just a bearable one :) *hug*

4:52 am

I know Pappou - it seemed to be such a bad year for so many people including your family - this year just has to be better

4:53 am

well, it is starting out a bit better, we finally have a buyer for my mom's house and my online travel biz is doing well.

4:54 am

that's a good start then - onwards and upwards!

4:55 am

BBL must get some dinner - 10pm here

4:55 am

Later lynxxx

4:55 am

4:56 am

Bye Sprite

5:10 am

reins

5:10 am

thanks BR :)

5:12 am

Morning all Hows the grid?

5:14 am

Hi Spanner - interesting for me as its the 2nd one I've done and there seems to be one or two tricky ones

5:14 am

not even close to finding any of the 7's, anyone got a clue?

5:15 am

re + ike's ex plural

5:16 am

ty Kazzer99, good clue, 1 down 3 to go!!

5:19 am

Good morning spanner - it's a little tricky today, I think.

5:20 am

Glad you said that Haz. I was beginning to think I was being thicker than usual..

5:21 am

No, not at all.

5:22 am

I'm laughing to myself - I could really dig a hole for myself if I assured you that you are just as thick as usual - but you know I don't mean it!

5:23 am

oggy

5:23 am

oggy

5:25 am

No offence taken. I have never been the brightest candle in the box...I am always astounded at people having such a huge vocabulary, particularly if english isnt their first language...you know what I mean

5:26 am

when you say English not being there 1st language, are you referring to our American buddies (HeHe)?

5:26 am

I know what you mean about the vocabulary, especially with those for whom English is a second language. Babble suits people who can retain letter combinations and it does get easier with practice.

5:27 am

So you say haz, but that doesnt seem to be happening with me..LOL

5:28 am

lshult, i resemble that remark! :-)

5:28 am

hello all!

5:28 am

I have the problem that half the words that are words in Babble aren't 'real' words

5:28 am

The important thing is to enjoy the hunt. I worry about new people who are so intent on finishing that they don't seem to be looking for words so much as the points to be accumulated.

5:28 am

Good morning FranMag!

5:29 am

Morning fran Ishult, just seen you last comment lmao

5:29 am

fryo

5:29 am

Kazzer - I know what you mean, but it's fun to learn them.

5:29 am

hi haz! hi spanner!

5:30 am

yeah - its is quite addictive - styed up til 2.30 am to try and finish yesterdys

5:30 am

No offence intended FM, almost 1/2 the population of my little community are originally American, we always refere to the famous line "2 nations devided by a common language",!!

5:30 am

phantom word - torment!

5:30 am

If I had to stay up to even get 3/4 of them, then id never go to bed..LOL

5:31 am

It was weeks before I finished a grid, Kazzer.

5:31 am

i was definitely not offended lshult, just having some fun along with you, your comment was very funny.

5:31 am

Not the same grid, you understand.

5:31 am

Ive never finished one :)

5:31 am

It gets undr my skin - I need to finsh things - neat and tidy - also wanted the fireworks

5:32 am

smiten

5:32 am

And that's fine, spanner, as long as you enjoy it. It's a game......

5:33 am

what? fysh isn't an alt spelling?

5:33 am

I know thats why I paly. I havent got a competative bone in my body.

5:33 am

term

5:33 am

finishing grids, spanner, come with time, patients, luck and alot of clue giving, stick with it, it's worth it!!

5:33 am

oops!!

5:33 am

it's been quite a while since i did that!

5:34 am

I dont mind not finishing, as long as I am exercising the old grey cells...

5:34 am

Yes, it's been a long th5/18 (well you were looking for alt spellings)

popping by again. Spanner - this is what mrp used to do - use the 2 letter list and the A to Z word length lists - then go back from Z to A to get them all - at first it seems tough, but it's a great way to learn words etc.

5:35 am

hee, hee, thanks haz!

5:35 am

FM, havn't done that since......Yesterday. Easily done!!

5:35 am

You're welcome, Fran.

And all the players in the house say - get your windows the right size to see everything at one time.

5:36 am

lickerty, wish I had the time, since the ancient one moved in I have to grab minutes when I can, but i will bear it in mind TY ;)

5:36 am

There's also the mediaeval street disturbances (r4 and r5/14) That's probably not what their meaning is, but that's how I think of them. And is that a police sy5/14 I hear?

5:37 am

hey lickety!

5:37 am

8:40 am

Movieman, ra5/18

8:40 am

hi again all :)

hi ata

8:40 am

rhymes with S**** Davis Junior

8:40 am

hey, ata

8:40 am

hi ata

8:40 am

ty une

8:41 am

yw :-)

8:41 am

hi ata

8:41 am

smooth - is there any type of film you'd recommend that's best when taking pics of snow? I usually use Fuji, but I don't know how well that turns out in snowy conditions

8:41 am

missing two r's.......i have (deep breath) ra5/12, ra4/5, ra5/12, ra5/18, ra6/24, ra4/5, ra4/4, re4/4, re5/10, re5/12, re6/21, re5/12, re4/5, re6/18, re7/28, & ro4/4x4.........cluez plz

8:42 am

fuji tends to go a bit green...

8:42 am

that's normally why I like it :P but with snow, I'm not so sure!

8:43 am

movieman, ry4 and 5

8:43 am

just make sure the person developping your pics knows how to use the density and magenta

ugh... ata... snow is difficult! The brand isn't going to be your biggest consideration, though... I personally love Fuji myself, but with snow... it's a lot more about technique than the gear... hold on... let me get some snow technique for you

8:43 am

ty again, une

8:44 am

:-D

8:44 am

4 to go......

8:44 am

ty! I've only ever taken pics with snow once, and found it soooo hard to judge exposure

that's the HUGE problem ata... the internal meter can't judge snow for crap... Check out this site... it may help.

http://www.outdooreyes.com/photo18.php 3

8:45 am

and yes ... but I've got to find a new place to develop my pics because my old, favourite one has just closed down *sigh* so we will have to hope and see what turns out

8:45 am

3 to go........

8:45 am

meh, don't use internal meters

8:45 am

if I still did that, I'd do them for you, Ata...I was known famously as the colour queen at one time

8:46 am

I wish I had my own darkroom :( I hate giving my films away to people!

well, you're on the right track already, ata. :)

8:46 am

Which ones do you need movie?

8:46 am

ty smooth! am so looking forward to being away and having a change to get my proper camera out and blast away for a week!

where are you going?

also here is a couple of pointers on snow exposure in different settings:

http://www.forphotography.com/how-tos/ snow.shtml

8:48 am

last time I ended up taking so many variations in exposure, I ended up using one film per photograph pretty much! I do *not* want to do quite so much range this time!

8:48 am

we're going to the Italian Alps

very nice! I just was in the Austrian alps earlier this year

well... nearly, maybe the austrian swiss foothills? lol the salzburg region

*austrian alpine foothills*

sorry, I cant quite wake my brain up this morning

8:50 am

ohhh Salzburg is lovely :)

8:50 am

i'm missing an s from the bottom and 2 t's...... my s's are: sa4/5, sa6/21, sa4/5, sa5/10, sm4/5, sm5/12, sm6/21, sn4/4, so4/5

8:50 am

that reminds me, I must buy film. Yes. Very Important. must go to London and buy film.

8:51 am

le sigh....I wish I could say that ;)

8:52 am

There are 2 sa 5/10's - I'm guessing you need sa + past tense of run

8:53 am

that was my missing s.....ty anike

8:56 am

just missing 2 t's now, one t4 & one t5...... my t4's: te4/4, te4/5, ti4/4, ti4/5, ti4/4, ti4/4, to4/4, to4/4, to4/6, to4/4, to4/4, to4/6, tr4/4, tr4/4, tr4/6, ty4/6......

8:56 am

pretty snow pic from Canada - http://tinyurl.com/y2tyd6 - my snow always ends up *blue*

8:57 am

th - the herb

8:57 am

And my t5's: te5/12, ti5/12, to5/10, to5/10, to5/12, to5/10, tr5/12, tr5/10, tr5/14 & tr5/14.....

8:57 am

good morning

8:58 am

so when you get your photos, check them right there and then have the processor change them right away...too much blue means it likely needs more yellow and some density

8:58 am

there are ty 4/6's

8:58 am

just missing 1 t now, one t4....... my t4's: te4/4, te4/5, ti4/4, ti4/5, ti4/4, ti4/4, to4/4, to4/4, to4/6, to4/4, to4/4, to4/6, tr4/4, tr4/4, tr4/6, ty4/6......

8:59 am

i can't believe it, my last word is so bloody, BLOODY obvious.......(goes to fetch large trout from fridge)......

8:59 am

*remembers that* i can take photos but i do get out of my depth a bit when it comes to processing them!

9:00 am

th5/18 herb

9:00 am

:) a good processor can make ok photos fabulous

9:00 am

well, my first word is a fish. is that a sign?

9:00 am

ty, ty, anike...... A N D ............ I T ' S ........... T I M E ..........

9:00 am

ty, ty, anike...... A N D ............ I T ' S ........... T I M E ..........

9:00 am

there's so much that can be changed

9:00 am

hi jane

9:00 am

sorry, I meant 2 ty 4/6's - one round rubber thing the other has a different vowel on the end

9:00 am

9:00 am

9:02 am

g'nite, anike and ty again

9:06 am

I'm away as well, but i may pop in later in case anyone requires assistance...... laters........

9:08 am

hello babbloanians

9:08 am

Has anyone a clue for em 4,8 please?

9:09 am

amn, it's a babblet--e + 3 consonants--sounds like someone choking!

9:09 am

other than the e it is all consonants

9:11 am

iter is a word, isn't it?

9:12 am

jane, it is when I am doing crossword puzzles

9:13 am

iter is a word, as well as spam, but not in this game

9:13 am

me too annie, oh well.

9:13 am

an iter is a passageway in the brain

9:13 am

does it have the same root as iteration?

9:14 am

Thank you, the word I keep entering is not accepted even though it checks out in the A-Z

9:15 am

I don't think so, Atalante. The crossword clue for iter is usually "roman road"

9:15 am

I don't think it's related to iteration

9:16 am

ooo never seen that clue *files away for crosswords* but US cryptic cluing is soooo different to UK!

9:17 am

what are the beginning letter(s) for the 7's, please?

9:17 am

am oa oa

9:19 am

I tried to do a british crossword once and had a terrible time!

9:19 am

same here with an american one!

9:20 am

I felt like *such* an idiot not being able to do a thing on it!

9:20 am

I love cryptics, but don't get the British clues

9:21 am

isnt it strange how they are so different

9:22 am

uh oh, she said, as she entered the chatroom

9:22 am

harp there is an re7

9:23 am

Are the British clues wordplay ones, like the puzzles in Atlantic and Harper's?

9:23 am

I'm currently doing a Canadian cryptic book. It's similar to American, but there are some clues I just don't get.

9:23 am

and i am relieved to hear that you can't do ours, i thought the english were just so much smarter than us

9:23 am

lol hurshy, they are just competely different mind-sets, for some reason

9:24 am

you know that one in the lord peter short story where the girl has to find her inheritance? could you do that one?

9:24 am

American crosswords use a lot of idioms, and information from pop culture

9:24 am

they only sound smarter <gggggg>

9:24 am

myth

9:24 am

myths

9:25 am

and I sound dumber

9:25 am

sorry

9:25 am

don't know I'm afraid, hurshy, am not such a wimseyette as you

9:25 am

ours use continual references to classical mythology

9:26 am

yes i think that one did

9:26 am

i was COMPLETELY hopeless on it

9:26 am

i really need to learn more classical stuff.

9:26 am

classics and history and literature

9:27 am

i feel so very uneducated :(

9:27 am

I need fr 5/16 psl

9:28 am

fr + the beginning of the dictionary that we all have such contempt for

9:28 am

thnx

9:29 am

me 6/24?

9:29 am

if ariel hadn't fallen in love with a human prince, she'd have married one

9:30 am

Think of the movie Splash!

9:30 am

theres a good example, hurshy :) you think ariel = little mermaid, I think ariel = shakespeare's tempest :P *grins*

9:31 am

yours is so much more *respectable*

9:31 am

..and I think former PM of Israel

9:31 am

ethel

9:31 am

english people are so very good at being respectable

9:31 am

Happy Thursday, all.. this grid is great! Haven't found weirdos..

9:31 am

of course!

9:32 am

gee, i wish i were british!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:32 am

lmao, no you don't!

9:32 am

yes i do, i always have

9:33 am

could I get a clue for the me6 and the 5 before it?

9:33 am

9:33 am

9:33 am

Buenos dias amigos ..

9:33 am

howdy, torgone

9:34 am

9:34 am

and for THAT you'd trade a fabulous depth of classical knowledge???

9:34 am

the nicer ice cream bit? Sure! *giggle*

9:35 am

you know the one trouble with you english is that you don't know a good thing when you've got it

9:35 am

ne 5/10?

9:35 am

NM i found it

9:35 am

their ice cream is soo over rated...

9:36 am

and if you really love the ice cream, i'm sure you could start importing it

9:37 am

ni 6/24?

9:37 am

I'll swap you Greek history for a big lorry load of those gorgeous ice cream cookie things you have - chocolate cookies on each side of mint choc chip ice cream

9:37 am

a place to go clubbing, phand

9:37 am

don't have it yet, phnad

9:37 am

it's a deal, ata!

9:38 am

you could make those yourself, ata!

9:38 am

or should i say esau?

9:38 am

I can't make cookies that nice!! wah! am hopelessly undomesticated

9:39 am

clubbing...? think, think, think

9:39 am

hm. aren't you going to italy? they must have those there...

9:39 am

i can make really good ice cream sandwiches, ata - better than the commercial ones. lol

9:40 am

grrrr! don't tell me that! and yes, Italy has *wonderful* ice cream

9:40 am

one of the best gelaterias is just outside the vatican

9:40 am

I don't believe YOU can't make cookies, ata...

9:41 am

not getting it...

9:41 am

i can't even cook an egg!

9:41 am

well just pretend you're making an adjective of the ni5/10 before it then, phan

9:42 am

oh come on...mix flour eggs and chocolate together with sugar vanilla and cocoa make into blobs and bake

9:42 am

that did it; thnx, Hurshy

9:42 am

good heavens, ata, you need to get the joy of cooking or some lessons or something

9:43 am

*shudders* cooking is a big trauma

9:43 am

nothing beats a cookie straight from the oven

9:43 am

cooking is fun!

9:43 am

now for that qu 6?

9:44 am

a marvel superhero or something big in space

9:44 am

9:44 am

9:45 am

I looooove cookies. I should be an American

9:45 am

I want a latte...fricken starbucks...three blocks away...

9:45 am

why don't you want to be Canadian???!!???

9:46 am

fricken starbucks - 8 miles away! (that's from here if I want something from them!)

9:46 am

actually, yes, I'd rather be Canadian

9:46 am

are there any sq words?

9:47 am

lol

9:47 am

no, hurshy

9:47 am

good, didn't think so

9:47 am

how can you exist with an 8 mile distance? I would go crazy

9:48 am

starbucks can't be too far away for me!!! icky icky

9:48 am

its awful! the nearest one is in the next town!

9:48 am

you should write to them and tell them you want one closer to you...they might build one in your front yard!

9:48 am

how can you hate starbucks?

9:49 am

well, for starters, i don't drink coffee

9:49 am

they promote equal trade in third world countries, give lots of people jobs, employ any kind of person (even those with disabilities) and they always have clean bathrooms

9:49 am

nor me!

9:49 am

I don't drink much coffee either but their iced tea is beyond fab

9:50 am

i wouldn't even be able to stand the coffee smell.

9:50 am

iced fab, chai latte, frappucinos are mmmmmm

9:50 am

9:50 am

9:51 am

9:51 am

it's awesome!! we got our first one about 6 months ago

9:51 am

WOW!

9:52 am

yes, i think ours might have drive through

9:52 am

I don't like the coffee much either, but we patronise them when traveling because the bathrooms are usually very clean

9:52 am

9:52 am

11:15 am

11:18 am

11:19 am

just popped in after work? em 4/8 anyone?

11:21 am

got it! what kind of word is that?

11:23 am

Gave up with 9 to go yesterday but just been inspired to fireworks by ham and ketchup sandwich!

11:26 am

not too sure about the ketchup part, but the ham sound inspirational broony

11:30 am

Good afternoon/morning all.

11:32 am

Howdy Haz.

11:32 am

Hello torgone - are you well?

11:33 am

A tad sniffly, but I'll live ..

11:33 am

hi Haz.

11:33 am

oh torgone, I didn't know you were ill. I'm sorry to hear that.

11:33 am

Colds are annoying. You feel like dying but you know you won't.

11:34 am

Hello metal - you must be on a different shift at the minute?

11:34 am

Hi everyone....I can't find this handy dandy tip for Angelsong either..

11:34 am

Not really sick .. I think I'm just alergic to going back to work ..

11:34 am

sort of... my back started to hurt and I couldn't get comfortable in the bed. when that happens sitting is more my speed for a while.

11:35 am

I know the feeling, torgone - I've been on maternity leave for 23 years.

11:36 am

ketchup is good at disguisingthe taste of none too fresh bread and ham, metal! Plus it tastes good on almost anything!

11:36 am

A huring back is no fun, metal - hope it eases.

11:36 am

hurting back.....

11:36 am

LOL Haz!

11:37 am

re 6.18 please?

11:37 am

But will ketchup kill the bacteria in the unfresh ham?

11:37 am

it's beginning to Haz, ty

11:38 am

That's good metal.

11:38 am

re 6/18 -- the screen at the back of the eye

11:39 am

oh for crying out loud..thanks babble

11:40 am

raelite Don't forget to plural

11:40 am

only got 1 7 (re) rraelly could use some help with the others

11:40 am

ketchup kills 99% of all bacteria in unfresh ham, Haz. No, wait - that's domestos isn't it!

11:40 am

either domestos or marmite

11:40 am

gots it, thanks

11:40 am

ok, another new UK word... domestos?

11:40 am

Domestos may kill you along with the bacteria!

11:40 am

Ishult oa7/32 males who row boats

11:40 am

what's domestos, precious?

11:40 am

rather eat domestos than marmite!!

11:40 am

bleach :)

11:40 am

Does marmite not kill Domestos?

11:41 am

Domestos - well known brand of bleach. The ad claims to kill 99% of all know germs. DEAD!

11:41 am

I am back for my last 10 words, since husband filled in some blanks while I was shopping/ They are all s and t

11:41 am

ty Frances, got that x2

11:41 am

ohhhh, like Lysol disinfectant spray here in the US

11:42 am

yup :)

11:42 am

I love Marmite but discovered that if (I want the dog to behave I just have to show him the open jar. In fact, I now just have to say the word Marmite! You either love it of hate it.

11:43 am

am 7/32 -- start with a chronic inability to sleep: am*, add a tiny bit, ***a, and end with a vowel

11:43 am

Evening all........

11:43 am

Have you found a similar product for husbands/significant others, Frances? There'd be a ready market.....

11:43 am

Marmite didn't kill Tom o'Connor (loveable gap toothed scouse sprite and raconteur!) in those awful 80's adverts on TV - pity!

11:43 am

marmite often works there too

11:44 am

Yes I thouight that Haz. It is really amazing the effect it has on the dog. He runs to bed!

11:45 am

Has he ever tasted it?

11:45 am

Hello, caitlyn

11:46 am

Hello Babblerabble

11:46 am

Haz perhaps your husband should suggest it for naughty pets. I find when dog keeps stealing things to get attention - one whiff of the Marmite and he stops when all else fails.

11:47 am

I'll have to let him know about this. I should get a jar for research sake and try it out on Spangle!

11:47 am

and me with Hobbit!

11:48 am

LOL. You must let me know.

11:49 am

Marmite the mutt-master. A working title.

11:49 am

Haz, LOL!

11:50 am

hello all! morning. total for today?

11:50 am

Muttmeister is what I call the dog!!!

11:50 am

hey all! 142 walnut

11:50 am

Bye all. Always nice to have multi lateral tangential conversation about.... well... stuff

11:50 am

142

11:50 am

142 walnut

11:50 am

thanks stid!

11:50 am

and caitlyn!

11:50 am

Also! (The German also rather than the British also)

11:50 am

Or Marmutt

11:51 am

Hi stid Bye broony

11:51 am

Bye broony - keep the bucket close for the ham's revenge.

11:51 am

11:51 am

Bye broony

11:51 am

okay, down to 64, off to get list!

11:59 am

Fireworks for me. Endlich!

11:59 am

YAY inge!

12:00 pm

wtg inge

12:00 pm

endlich indeed! though today isn't as bad as I feared...

12:00 pm

that's because hubby added 11 words during my absence this morning!

12:00 pm

Well done, inge!

12:01 pm

yay for hubby!

12:01 pm

Congrats inge!!

12:01 pm

Haz, does marmite smell of bleach or what?

12:02 pm

(i like marmite) It smells of all the minerals in it...

12:02 pm

Do you know, inge, I have never tasted it, although I think it has a malty taste/smell. So I'm pretty sure it doesn't smell of bleach.

12:03 pm

It is a cleaning agent, right? Where do you get it stid?

12:03 pm

I heard recently that Marmite was originally what was left in the barrell after the brewing process of beer.

12:03 pm

No, domestos is the cleaning agent, marmite is a food product.

12:03 pm

NO! marmite is a yeast-based extract for soups and such! LOL

12:03 pm

I also like twiglets...a snack that is covered in marmite!!

12:03 pm

marmite tastes of salt and malt. is weird

12:03 pm

so do you just eat marmite plain on toast? or do you have it with jam?

12:04 pm

I like marmite plain on toast, or a spoon to make a broth. It would not be good with jam. Much to "savory"

12:04 pm

marmite is similar to miso...

12:04 pm

Marmite on toast

12:04 pm

I've never heard of it being combined with jam - most people just have it plain on toast.

12:04 pm

Just on toast rae its also good on grilled cheese on toast

12:04 pm

bleurch! hi everybody!

12:04 pm

except miso is soy-based and marmite is grain-based, I think.

12:04 pm

hi denny.

12:04 pm

I knew it was savory....just didn't know how much (peanut butter vs tahini) sort of thing

12:05 pm

Hi Denny

12:05 pm

is miso like vegemite then?

12:05 pm

do they sell it in the US, stid? I can hop over to Canada if necessary

12:05 pm

miso is fermented soy beans

12:05 pm

Very savoury

12:05 pm

Don't go to Canada just to buy Marmite!

12:05 pm

i'm one of those hate it people!

12:05 pm

I get it at World Market, though I have seen it elsewhere recently, inge --

12:06 pm

yeah come to visit me :)

12:06 pm

Im a love it person!!!

12:06 pm

only one in my family tho' everyone else loves it

12:06 pm

no, it would not be worth it just for marmite, but marmite and to see babblers... that would be worth it!

12:06 pm

OK we have World Markets here

12:06 pm

have you tried smoked paprika??

12:06 pm

maybe us british people can send a job lot over to the US!

12:06 pm

I don't smoke, rae! ;-) *giggle*

12:07 pm

lol....it's amazing...I just discovered it...wowo what a spice!

12:07 pm

yum, i love smoked paprika--great on potatoes and vegies.

12:07 pm

I was waiting for someone to offer sending it!!!

12:07 pm

great pic of Lucky, Stid!

12:07 pm

I'll send you some, inge

12:07 pm

in fact, we could club together and buy it ALL up and ship it over so no more marmite here!! (Quickly runs and hides before she is mobbed!)

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

12:10 pm

And time for me to go - have a good day!

12:10 pm

sorry went to change my icon. is it safe to come out now?

12:11 pm

12:11 pm

12:11 pm

...and wal-mart

12:11 pm

You are safe now Denny...your children are growing

12:12 pm

I'll totally do it for you, inge

12:13 pm

I am sure I will find it in a store near me. If all else fails there is Walmart, which I hate to patronize.

12:14 pm

ok...just holler if you can't find it

12:14 pm

Denny that was a dumb thing to say..of course they are growing!! I meant to say they seem to be growing quickly..lovely looking children

12:15 pm

Laura is 7 months now and really trying to crawl - got the backward slide thing going really well!! Thank you, they are beautiful, but I would say that!

12:16 pm

I'm missing an o from the left - have three that have to do with rowing; is there another alnog that line?

12:17 pm

Shot in the dark here but has anyone heard from the young lady with 5 kids that was trying to get home to Canada? This was right at Xmas time.

12:17 pm

there is os 4/4 . just go down from the o

12:17 pm

K.Elisabet you are missing an os4/4

12:18 pm

she has only three, Siouxz, all girls. Her name is Kate, and she is still in England. No recent word that I know of

12:18 pm

I dont know about it Siouxx..Is she a babbler?

12:19 pm

Now I know who you mean

12:19 pm

thanks - got it! Just looked at the definition, it's another word for esker. Like I know what that is!

12:19 pm

her icon name is kthdn (Kate Hudson)

12:19 pm

Thanx inge. sorry about being fuzzy on the details. I haven't seen any posts lately either. I sure pray she's okay.

12:20 pm

Did she break up with her husband?

12:20 pm

She still doesn,t have the money for her plane tickets. Yes, he has left her for another gal

12:22 pm

I was talking to her for a long time when she couldnt find him after his disapearance after work! on a Sunday morning..poor poor girl

12:22 pm

What lousy timing! Mmm, won't go down that road!!

12:23 pm

and it turned out he spent the night with the other women!!!

12:23 pm

*woman! made it sound worse than it is

12:23 pm

PIG! (ooops)

12:23 pm

I am sure she is okay, inge. She is a resourceful young woman, and has had some good advice from people in the log at least.

12:25 pm

Siouxx that was very mild.LOL!!

12:25 pm

Restraint is the resolution for the new year!

12:26 pm

I am refraining from using all the lovely, genteel expressions I used when I was in the Navy to describe kate's situation... but I think it's abysmally dismal.

12:26 pm

She sounded very down last time I saw her post - pinning all her hopes on something that was unlikely to happen. I hope she is busy getting a plan B in place now...

12:26 pm

I agree with you , stid...seems a little SNAFU

12:27 pm

stid it cant be as bad as the thoughts i have in my mind right now

12:27 pm

I feel for her and her plight but sometimes you just have to step back and re evaluate.

12:28 pm

(especailly the FU bit, rae?) well -- we can always hope she has some especially difficult to cure contagious disease... after all, "he" is not doing this alone!

12:29 pm

lol...that's true stid....I hope she doesn't give up on her wish and that it comes true for her

12:29 pm

and I agree rae, this may be an opportunity in disguise, a chance for kate to improve her life in ways she didn't think she could.

12:29 pm

stid you are a girl after my own heart

12:30 pm

F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S

12:41 pm

Great clue BabbleR

12:42 pm

Hi stid, long time, no see

12:42 pm

never heard of em4/8 and t'would appear the dictionary hasn't either!

12:44 pm

sort of an acronym for *lectrical *agnetic *ield(s)

12:45 pm

there was a *pop*group called emf but it certainly wasn't an acronym for that!

12:47 pm

no kidding, pida! I have been away most of the daytimes because the kids were on vacation!

12:47 pm

how are you doing?

12:48 pm

MA 6/21 please?

12:48 pm

NVM, just monkeyed it.

12:48 pm

ma 6 --- male and emperor heroh***

12:49 pm

thanks though BabbleRabble -- was trying to think how to clue it! :-)

12:49 pm

I;m doing fine, now. My job is over for a couple of months, until the next season. I averaged *82* hrs a week, for 8 weeks. So there wasn't much time for Babble, and never any time for chat......

12:50 pm

oh man, pida! that's just horribible! (as tigger always says) glad you get a break now.

12:51 pm

I'm semi-retired, on SS, so the money comes in handy, especially the overtime....... but I couldn't do it year around.

12:52 pm

what kind of work do you do pida?

12:53 pm

I'm a shipping agent (in charge of loading trucks and doing inventory) for a tomato packing house.

12:54 pm

yes, my in-laws are getting to the point where they are getting their retirement (they're 70 now) but still my father in law still likes to work -- had to actually until this year, much of their retirement portfolio had been in Enron stock.

12:55 pm

RE 6/18 please?

12:55 pm

back of the eye stid

12:56 pm

ok... I worked a seasonal job a few years back... in a bakery which ships fruitcakes all over the world. they start in early august with small production and some international shipping and gradually get to breakneck pace in production and shipping all the way up to Christmas/New Year's... then drop back down keeping only a few in the order dept. and a few extra in production until they gear up in Feb. for the Easter production.

12:56 pm

Hi all, heard you've been asking after me so I've decided to come in for a chat and do the grid

12:56 pm

firewords, Denny!

12:56 pm

yay stid!!!

ihave bin on for threee howers and i can not get over18

6:11 pm

MG have you got any Qus yet

nope

how old are you monkey girl?

12

6:14 pm

q6/27 think a star

6:14 pm

1 clue Q 6/27 farthest known object in the universe, 2 q 4/8 rhymes with codm=, q 5/18 plural of previous

ok, some of the words will be really weird to you. But some of them should be pretty easy. Sometimes you can just sort of type in a bunch of letters that connect and get words. Once you find a word, look to see if you can put an "s" on it, or an "er" or an "ier" to make it longer. Start with the 4 letters and then work up. If you need help, then ask.

6:14 pm

Oops should be cod - typing is degenerating again

even a lot of 3 letter words (like the one Kazzar just said) is in the grid with a plural after them.

i definetly need help

my oldr sis wants to kno if soarani is a word in da dic..

6:17 pm

NO

you can also watch the clues other people are giving and try to figure it out. If you can't understand a clue, you can go to the bottom of the page to Angelsong's and then get a reverse dictionary where you type in the definition and it gives you possible answers.

6:17 pm

But you can get 2 4 letter word if you split and use middle letter twice

Once you get a word, then if you click on the question mark next to it in the word list, you can get the definition for what it means, and then it will help you remember it.

ok

6:20 pm

everyone hears a drumrole heeeeeellllllllooooooooo all

hello mousey

did you get those two words from that split word? If so, one of them can be made plural by adding an "s". That will give you three more words total.

Hello mousey.

6:22 pm

I agree with Jac.

7:21 pm

Is it Friday night down under, Girlie?

any mor hints

7:22 pm

em4/8 has to do with electro-magnetic radiation.

one more before I have to go monkey girl. fr5/18 = what you find on the top of your root beer float (ends in h). Then plural for a 6/30, and change the plural to the sometimes vowel for a 6/36.

eyeman, total points on this puzzle is 1576.

7:25 pm

Really??? Holy Cow!

7:25 pm

Average is about 2,500 points, I guess.

it's not really that hard when you start adding up the points for the words. The bigger the word, the more the points.

7:26 pm

Good evening Babblers.

7:26 pm

Don't be put off Eyeman. It's not as bad as it sounds.

7:26 pm

Hi Scrabbler. How are you this fine evening?

Have a good evening all.

8:09 pm

hello anastastia nice to meet you!

8:09 pm

dorens!

8:09 pm

Hi anastasia

8:09 pm

thx jac and phan and scrabbler

8:09 pm

Hodag - I really didn't mean to offend you the other day when I mentioned yuor grandson. I was just concerned for him really.

8:09 pm

hey kristin, it means you're a genius, of course!

8:09 pm

it means, kristin, that you are smart enough to know that an organization should be a proper noun!!!

8:09 pm

hi pam!

8:09 pm

hey kristin!

8:10 pm

hi reeses :)

8:10 pm

lololol, dorens

8:10 pm

hi dorens, phoebe is looking cuter and cuter!

8:10 pm

thanks for the laughs guys :)

8:10 pm

I'm new here so I might ask some stupid questions. I assume the words we are to find come from the grid as it is. There is no rearranging or scrambling the grid?

8:10 pm

cods

8:10 pm

heya kristin!

correct mom

8:11 pm

that's right wjsmom.... nd we try not to enter them in the chatlog

8:11 pm

nope, we babble here not scramble! LOL

8:11 pm

hey smooth

8:11 pm

heya nat!

but as you just discovered, you can go in any direction. ;)

8:11 pm

the grid stays the same for 24 hours, mom

8:11 pm

hi pappa!

8:11 pm

thanks ping.... this is quite true!

8:11 pm

hey smooth

hey dorens

8:11 pm

then it flips for a new one!

8:11 pm

thanks! I think I'm going to like this!

HI reeses! Long time no see! Hi as well, ping

8:12 pm

mom, when you get stuck let us know and we'll tell you about "the list"

8:12 pm

It's very addicting, as you will come to find out! LOL

8:12 pm

kristinc, the word me*** means table in Latin, and the group chose taht name because they would sit around a round table where everybody is equally important

8:12 pm

welcome wjs mom...say goodbye to a clean house, bathed children, etc :)

8:12 pm

ahhhh, the list!

also mom, one resource that is invaluable to us is a link at the bottom of tha page. "lickities babble clues" it will list the first two letters oif each word in alphabetical order. with the number of letters and points...

whoops, I think I just told... nuts!

8:12 pm

Thanks jacula,I guess it was just the way it came across. No offense.......lol

8:13 pm

kristin is right.... homecooked meals, getting to work on time, and other worse offenses lay in wait

8:13 pm

what's a clean house and bathed child anyway????? Thanks for the clues.

8:13 pm

Kristin - re the clver people's organisation - It literally means 'the table' in Latin. My Latin is a little rusty - but the first 4 letters mean 'the mind' . Table of minds, maybe?

8:13 pm

smarty pants inge :) Actually thanks...I do always learn something new on this game...I just laughed that had been my hardest word so far tonight

8:14 pm

so me 5 is an org for folks who like to lay their minds out on a table?

8:15 pm

hodag - sorry about that. I really didn't mean it that way. Glad we're okay.

8:15 pm

i want symmetry SO badly!

8:15 pm

thanks too jac...this sounds vaguely familiar now that you all say it. Maybe I complained about it before :)

8:15 pm

Hey, Doren--I am looking for the sy's too.

8:16 pm

The tile stats if one says 1/4, I've found one word that starts with that letter out of 4 that are possible?

8:16 pm

aaaaaaaaaa000000000000000kkkkkkkkkkk!! !!!!!

8:16 pm

let me know when you find them. please... cause I'm sure I won't!

8:16 pm

mom run in another direction, this is a bad addiction and no cure has yet been found!

yup mom

8:16 pm

no, Ping, when they gather around their round table, they all were of equal importance or insignificance, however you look at it, That's how the name came about, I doubt they even use a round table now, or whether they meet

8:16 pm

The sy's are those ladies that lure unwary sailors onto the rocks, spelled diferently.

dorens, ping... need a cluefor those?

8:17 pm

sy5==homonym of what firetrucks turn on in an emergency

nevermind. lol

8:17 pm

inge...you're supposed to say, well the last time I was at the meeting etc :)

8:17 pm

thanks scrabbs

8:18 pm

inge - Oh, they DO meet still. I have an aquaintance who is a member, and has become a 'doctor' in her later years. Her nerdiness and trying to be aboveness knows no bounds. Doesn't cut much ice at the writers' conferences though. LOL.

i'll be back in about 10 minutes... need to run to the store for a minute

8:18 pm

see ya then pappa!

8:18 pm

quite frankly, the few members I have met, did not impress me. More of a show-off organisation. Whcih intelligence do they measure? How about creativity or inventiveness??

8:19 pm

inge - Exactly!

8:19 pm

saran

8:19 pm

oops monkey typing again sorry!

8:19 pm

Wrong box, Reese's.

8:22 pm

8:22 pm

i need help with the fr 5/20 please

8:22 pm

inge - I believe there is only diet food in the penalty box at present - it being New Year and so on...

8:22 pm

I'll replace it with my pic! LOL

8:22 pm

Then you have to leave some of your icon contents for the next offender

8:22 pm

i was just going to sasy that.... look what reese's bring with her!

8:23 pm

Great minds think alike!!!

8:23 pm

indeed. now this great mind really needs helpo with the fr 5/20 and then need to find my bed!

8:23 pm

Dorens - Damn! I just knew someone would ask for that word. fr5/20 looks like a typing error for friend.

feather is MUCH too young to have power surges! *she sighs, wiping her brow and trying to decide whether to put on a sweater or take off the one she already has on*

8:45 pm

hi stidmama

8:45 pm

hormones give me headaches

8:45 pm

ok I'm back.....had to make some tea!

8:45 pm

actually, i do get them occasionally right now stid! hormones are hormones, you know!

8:45 pm

Power surge, eh, feather? Maybe that's why the light bulbs in this house keep blowing?

8:45 pm

hey-dee-ho Ping! how's life in your madhouse? *bounce bounce*

8:46 pm

My Mum's 72 and she STILL gets them.

am I THE only testosterone carrier here? lol

8:46 pm

mad as ever!

8:46 pm

Stiddy! what a lovely furbaby!! Hi Nutty butty! hi everyone. Feather, I go barefoot and wear fleece! try that out! lol

8:46 pm

true enough feather, I remember those lovely days, middle of August and fat as a sow... (my boys were both winter babies)

8:46 pm

oh stid, i just looked at lucky's picture! what a sweetheart!

8:46 pm

poor smooth pappa!

8:46 pm

ahhh poor Smooth! we'll be glad to abuse you so you don't feel left out!

lol

8:47 pm

well pappa, Lucky could join you, but he's blissfully un-testosteroned!

8:47 pm

by the way what are power surges?

8:47 pm

smooth...a common babble occurance. Andree was just here though

8:47 pm

stid - Lucky has the smiliest face I've ever seen on a German Shepherd.

8:47 pm

at night, i cover my top half with a sheet, yet kick the blankets off from the waist down.

8:47 pm

you know what a hot flash is reese's????

8:47 pm

My cleavage becomes a lake...

8:47 pm

Reese -- you'll find out in about thirty years... don't rush it! :-) they're hormone surges that mess with your metabolism so you feel hot when it's cold out, or cold when it's hot.

8:47 pm

Hi reese! we're talking about the change of life.

8:48 pm

Errgh! Too much info, I think. Sorry!

8:48 pm

ra6?...just not seeing it :(

8:48 pm

ewwww jac

8:48 pm

I just kick all of the bedding off, or get up...:(

8:48 pm

ooooooo.......I'll just wait then!

kristin... andree is a female too. according to her profile, that is

8:48 pm

kristin: one who shoves things...

8:48 pm

ra - the thing that busts down the door

8:48 pm

Kristi, rhymes with the thing you pound nails in with.

8:49 pm

rammer

8:49 pm

dang...don't know why that got me--thanks everyone

8:49 pm

oops! darn!

8:49 pm

ra6/24 - very hot male? No! That's too crude a clue.

8:49 pm

there are several guy-types lurking tonight: anders, dcseain... yoo-hoo! Poor Pappa is lonely...

8:49 pm

*takes reese's choco away as punishment*

8:49 pm

that would be the one, reese! :-P

8:50 pm

where's babble rabble to even up the odds?

8:50 pm

yes, thanks, reese! 8-)

8:50 pm

Guys! Stop lurking and type something so Pappa's not alone.

8:50 pm

NNNNOOOOO......YOU TOOK MY CHOCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:50 pm

*mimics deep voice* YO!

8:50 pm

Grandkids are gone...:-( man, is my house quiet! and clean!

8:50 pm

BAD NUTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:50 pm

Not fooled, feather.

actually stid, I think I'd prefer the company of a female... just maybe not one who is having power surges at the moment. ;)

lol

8:50 pm

hehe, worth a shot

8:50 pm

I told you to leavea them in the penalty box!!!

8:51 pm

smooth...my hubby is next to me putting on a doorknob with a power drill..very manly :)

8:51 pm

we are all just a power surge waiting to happen

8:51 pm

I DID BUT THEY ARE STILL MINE! lol

8:51 pm

doug hates sleeping with me when i'm pg, as i like the room verrrry cool

HA!

8:51 pm

good luck, pappa!

8:51 pm

he calls me "volcano butt" i put off so much heat

8:52 pm

feather, hubbynut never sleeps with me, i keep waking him up for snoring

feather, I actually [prefer cooler environs as well... partly why I chose Wisconsin... in fact, as we speak, I"ve got my sliding door open about a foot to keep it nice and crisp in here. lol

8:52 pm

self defense sounds like nut!

8:52 pm

oh lbd -- I had forgotten they'd be gone already! you want a teenager and a dog to take their place?

8:52 pm

Maybe if you ask nutsy real nice, like " Pretty please etc etc

8:52 pm

(shhh.... don't look at pappa in the eye, he's delusional)

8:52 pm

i almost opened the window the other night, 30 degrees out

8:52 pm

nut gimme them now! LOL

8:52 pm

*sneaks past and shuts the door so the draft goes away*

8:52 pm

feather, are u pg?

8:53 pm

lol stid... I get that a lot...

8:53 pm

can i please have them?

8:53 pm

yes ping, 9 weeks tomorrow

8:53 pm

wanna go halfers reese's?

8:53 pm

that's exciting! congrats!

8:53 pm

I'll gladly take the dog Stid! I've got enough testosterone poisoning around here.

8:53 pm

fro the chocos

it's real similar here too feather... just a little cooler I think

8:53 pm

thanks!

8:53 pm

*wonders if she has to be nice to feather on account of raging hormones*

8:53 pm

halfers!?

dawg... HA! I think it's estrogen overdose. lol

8:54 pm

does your son like dinosaurs lately?

8:54 pm

could I get a clue for the sy words?

8:54 pm

FEATHER...I'm pregnant, 9 weeks yesterday! how about that?

8:54 pm

I'm just laughing too much here to comment about me and my Other Half. He likes it cool upstairs too. Since we had the cavity wall insulation put in, we've both been waking up boiling to death at night, as has my son. My daughter still complains of feeling cold, but that has more to do with her radiator being obliterated by a huge rack of shoes and clothes than anything else. We switched the rad in our room OFF earlier. I just looked in on Other Half and he's sleeping peacefully.

8:54 pm

lol, nah nut, just duck occasionally as i throw an emotional fit

8:54 pm

Kristinc - Congrats!

8:54 pm

whoo hoo feather! congrats! how exciting

8:54 pm

well yes, you DID type a word in the log reese's...fair is fair.

8:54 pm

i do try to contain them somewhat though

8:54 pm

sorry, got a little excited there...you all are the first besides family to know

8:54 pm

kristin, can I give you some of my estrogen? I have way too much these days!

8:54 pm

oooh, that remark was NOT okay, pappa *takes careful aim with any of a number of double-shot slings...*

8:54 pm

wow, awesome kristin! what's your due date then, august 8th? i'm the 10th

8:55 pm

oh kristin!!!! {{{{hugs and best hopes}}}}

8:55 pm

that's wonderful, kristin!

heehee!

8:55 pm

SY words? please?

8:55 pm

ping, actually he does like dinosaurs lately...why do you ask? he calls them "saurs"

sounds like a police car noisemaker jane

8:55 pm

oh wouldn't it be groovy if the two babblers delivered same da?

8:55 pm

harp -- another way to spell the ladies who lure sailors to their deaths by singing on rocks...

8:55 pm

oh boy Krisitin is going to have a baby too! oooh august babies!

8:56 pm

yep...August 8th...we're excited and terrified all at once :) congrats to you feather!

8:56 pm

feather, because he and my daughter both liked thomas and trains at the same time - and now she's on to dinosaurs - calls them dinos though

8:56 pm

maybe someday i'll get lucky and add the the flock

8:56 pm

ah, yes, i can see why, with dylan. my condolonces

8:56 pm

oooh, i know that word, just have to concentrate.....

8:56 pm

keeping my accessible body parts crossed that you both stay healthy and the little ones are here in no time!

8:56 pm

*sneaks past ing to get goodies from penalty box to share with nut* LOL

8:57 pm

Ditto what lbd just said.

8:57 pm

taking a quick break... hopefully quick, that is -- one never knows in this house!

8:57 pm

bbl, csi is on and it's a new one!

8:57 pm

lol, that's too funny ping! yes, he makes them growl, then the other one goes "YIPE YIPE YIPE" and runs away "scared"

8:57 pm

me too, kristin

8:57 pm

thanks dawg...I'm hoping this goes fast as well...thanks

8:57 pm

regrettably, i must be off to bed

8:57 pm

is it possible to use the 'f'?

8:57 pm

my daughter is really into "land before time" recently, feather

8:58 pm

There are ony rice cakes, salad and grilled chicken in the penalty box.

8:58 pm

awww.....bye nut!

8:58 pm

bye nutty

8:58 pm

he's not getting that there are different kinds though. i tried to tell him one was a triceratops, and he kept saying "no, saur!"

8:58 pm

9:28 pm

GO Pam! Night all (or till the flip)

9:28 pm

what kind of camera do you favor?

9:29 pm

I don't see how to use 'd'

9:29 pm

tml, there's only one word that starts with d today

well, for the best quality I use a mamiya 645. But that's really expensive to have the film processed, so I use my Canon Rebel XT most often. I've got three lenses: an 11-18, 28-105, and my brand new 70-300

9:30 pm

Yeah, but I can't find it. I even grabbed my dictionary and looked for words starting 'dos' and 'doa', and don't see any

9:30 pm

70-300 - is it huge?

9:31 pm

it is huge ping, I've seen it

9:31 pm

tml...short form of physician-plural

about 6 inches at it's most compact... close to 10 inchs fully etended

9:31 pm

tml, it's a 4 letter word starting with do, slang word for m.d.'s plural

9:31 pm

oh, you can use slang?

9:31 pm

>:I

lol there are definitely bigger out there, but it's no baby, either

9:31 pm

thanks

9:31 pm

ummm, smooth that could be misconstrued...

9:32 pm

Thanks Kris

i was just thinking that too nat. lol

9:33 pm

yeah...nothing like walking in on this conversation :)

9:33 pm

lolololololololol

HA!

9:33 pm

wait, can I say something like that to you anywhere or is it just a problem in the office?

9:33 pm

hey nat

9:34 pm

hey to you, Nat

nat... lol I don't care... here there, whatever... In case you hadn't noticed, I don't offend too terribly easy. lol

9:34 pm

natasha, smooth... have the wingnuts been calling at all? WE had a few lulubelles today

9:40 pm

wow Nat...

I actually had today off... so I dunno

9:41 pm

we don't get as many as I've had at other jobs, but we certainly had one today.

ooh... do tell natasha

9:42 pm

she was tossing off the f-bombs like nobodies business and all we were doing was trying to answer the question she asked.

9:42 pm

i guess it being fine art and all, they are more luluish and less frequent compared to the cookbook buyers, LOL

wow! what did she call about initially?

9:42 pm

gotta love the offensive is the best defensive customers,...

lol pam... no kiding

9:42 pm

yeah, although we do see our fair share of incredibly entitled people pam. mostly though our customers are fantastic

9:43 pm

yes, you would see more entitled customers, I am sure

9:43 pm

we get the charmers who spell "street" and "lane" to make sure we get it right.,,,

9:43 pm

smooth, it was the woman that sally helped a while ago and then jane and sheila both talked to yesterday...no identifying customer info on the chat--what if she's a babbler? lol

same with us pam

9:44 pm

i'm missing one word - it's and st 5/14 near the end of the st list, but not the word that means "tale" - any clue for that one?

HA nat, that's almost hillarious! lol

exactly

9:44 pm

10:00 pm

I don't know--I don't have the im4/8 yet...let me see

ouch... I'm sorry natl... if it makes you feel any better, m ex (we were together for over 2 years) has just taken her first overseas trip with another guy... not that I mind if she sees other people, but I tried to drag her across the atlantic for two years, and she always found a reason not to go... we break up, and she buys her ticket to ireland...

11:37 pm

What's that Min?

11:37 pm

Goodbye helenkeller! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

11:37 pm

Scrabbleblast? Is that an online game?

11:38 pm

11:38 pm

then what is it? cmith

11:39 pm

ne5/10: an interjection - mild oath like Yoiks! only its ne5/10!

11:39 pm

Must have a look but I don't know when I'd ever have time for it. I have a computer Scrabble game I used to play BB (Before Babble).

11:40 pm

night HK, hope you aren't catching something.

11:40 pm

Here's link - http://games.aol.com/game/scrabble-bla st/26367/gamewide. Warning:It is very addicting

11:40 pm

However,it is not as addicting as Babble,but still fun!

11:43 pm

minver -- went to your link and got this message: Page Not Found! Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. You may have bookmarked a page that no longer exists or have been pointed to a page for which our publishing rights have expired.

11:43 pm

Maybe it's only for aol???

11:43 pm

cmith i do appreciate the clue but it didnt help me very much. my mind is tired but the determination to complete is keeping me up. could you put it in simpler terms for me please

11:44 pm

pink= just add an s to the word you can't get the grid to accept

11:44 pm

Jilli, try msn.games

any cooks in here?

11:45 pm

pink -- are you looking for the ne5?

11:45 pm

i cook smooth

11:45 pm

i cook lumpy too sometimes

11:46 pm

I'm a personal cook.

11:46 pm

Google Scrabbleblast&it is the first thing on the page

11:46 pm

jilli, try this link http://zone.msn.com/en/root/default.ht m

11:46 pm

the clue you gave me before made me think it was spelt differently but checking in lickety's word list i saw i had forgotten the s on the end. DUHHH!

ok dawg... whaddaya think of this idea? in thai cooking the use peanut for sauces, and it's great... do you think something like that would work with hazelnut as well? I have a bunch of hazelnuts, and I wat thinking of doing something with them

11:46 pm

I cook only under duress

11:47 pm

I cook up words I can try to forge into Lickety's List

11:47 pm

I think that would work.

11:47 pm

In thai cooking it's the spices not necessarily the nuts. I use almonds instead of peanuts

11:48 pm

you can substitute pretty much any nut you'd like in thai cooking smooth.

you're right... and I think the hazel nuts would change the flavor just enough to make it different

11:48 pm

I am using IE, however, I can stay play Scrabbleblast.

though, I ten to not use recipes, so it probably wouldn't be true thai

11:49 pm

toast the hazelnuts a bit before cooking them. that would definitely give them a nutty taste, where as cooking them raw may change their texture

11:49 pm

ok, found scrabbleblast on msn -- bookmarked it for later investigation ;)

11:49 pm

I took cooking classes in thailand. for thai cooking it's about using the 4 basic elements

actually I don't know what cusine this would be... with cumin, coriander, cardamom, probabl some coconut juice, chicken and also trying to incorporate hazel nut... though I need to think this one through first, and probably eliminate some stuff... like the coconut maybe

11:50 pm

Sweet, heat, acid & savory

yeah, that sounds like thai pris. :)

11:50 pm

why not make a sauce with the hazelnuts

11:51 pm

in a food processor put the hazelnuts, coconut milk, spices, ginger, honey, lime juice

11:51 pm

fireworks im off to have a break before the change thanks for the help smooth pappa, jacula, and cmith

that's what I was thinking... my first thought was a coconut/nut sauce over the spiced chicken and either rice or noodles. oh yeah, and chilis... lol gotta have the heat

11:51 pm

blend until smooth

you think hazel nut and coconut would go well together? that's what I am concerned about

11:52 pm
