good at last. had a hysterectomy dec 14 - elective due to famly history. I'm almost back to normal - taking walks, etc.

12:22 am

These ones are pu 4/8 pi4/7

12:22 am

LOL that was fun

actually i see two words in my icon.

12:23 am

wow, glad to hear you're recuperating-- sounds like a smart thing to do--elective surgey

12:23 am

nan, thanks for the ga clue but I would have spelt it differently!

12:24 am

me to, jilli!

12:24 am

Melon take care - takes a bit to come back. I had one last April after taking minor parts away last December 2005. Knocked me around more than I thought

12:24 am

but one must remember -- this is enable!

well, it's a lot harder to get ovarian cancer if i don't have ovaries - hehe - btw, i can fnally laugh without hurting myself!

tx Ang - i do pace myself - no cartwheels yet ;)

12:25 am

you're on the road to recovery, then, melon!

12:26 am

Yep - that's what they told me as well ... The first they decided didn't go far enough LOL

12:26 am

tx cybernan - i have felt dramatically better in the last two days - doc sez i can take tub baths again - what am i doing here?

12:26 am

nan -- enable wouldn't allow ramen in yesterday's grid but morewords did

12:27 am

request from babble store--special babble-enabled hot tub :)

liba - i went out for sushi yesterday (tuesday was my 1st day out of jammies) - was able to pull a pair of jeans on! this is a big deal bc i was so bloated for awhile - sorry guys or anyone squeamish!

12:28 am

I think I found your second word for you icon melon -

12:28 am

melon, that is a milestone!

12:28 am

I think a good many of us have been there, melon, and can empathize

got the other ta7 - i know it as a french word from all those Butterick patterns

12:29 am

My prob melon was the undies crossing the wound ... had to go to granny's knickers! LOL

12:29 am

nice to hear that bilingualism is good for something!

12:29 am

If I had an icon I'd put up a picture of my kitchen for du4

haha crone - i would put my daughter bedroom

12:30 am

I think that might be melon's second clue for icon - what you do in it

12:30 am

lol, ty for du, melon!

12:30 am

only 109 left! *faint* night all

12:30 am

I could probably do the same melon - but I'm not allowed in there

12:31 am

Gee lbd good going. night

12:31 am

it's more of a toxic du5 than the kitchen

12:31 am

see now i thought you talikng about du 4/6 which my kitchen has

you're better off not knowing - when i was a teen "did you clean your room" was a code amongst us kids that meant "did you close your door" - my dad was a neat freak & did not understand messiness as a phase (lifelong in my case)

12:32 am

you know what they say: one decent lightning strike and we could create life

12:32 am

So did I but I found the other anyway

12:32 am

Oh I love these du words

12:33 am

du 8

12:33 am

I sue to push everyhitng under the bed, then I'd have to run and jump on it because there might abe something under there and I couldn't tell because I had so many things under there.

12:34 am

A bit tongue ties dthere

12:34 am

nan, you're amazing

quitting @ 85 - nly 5 7s + the 8 - igoing to fix a cup of herbal tea, put on some candle, and have a nice fragrant bath.

1:53 am

I just hoped it would be a bit mystifying and I guess it was for une ;)

1:53 am

i don't know how i know what it is, i just did.

1:54 am

Hello everyone - TGIF

Hi Frog

1:56 am

hello lynxxx

1:56 am

i think i found a better word if i can find the right icon. brb

i should always wait a little longer - just found mu6/24 - that could have been fun

1:59 am

lynxxx - I heard on the news that firefighters from Vancouver Island are heading your way to help battle the blazes -- from Victoria BC to Victoria state, OZ!

1:59 am

ok, changed my icon clue.

1:59 am

fran, the ag was a lot prettier!

i know jilli, but i'm fascinated by these beetles.

2:02 am

the site always hiccups at 2:00 am, must be some maintenance that goes on at that time.

2:02 am

well, got the mu6 but not the 7

2:03 am

still looking for the mu6

fran - good to know that - i went to my e-mail site to make sure it wasn't my computer

2:03 am

(hiccup!) Jilli - as i say to AngB - thankyou so much ! has Aust ever sent firefighters over to you. I know they went to the US a while ago when they were having fires. what a wonderful community they are - those firefighters

2:03 am

jilli - think horse

is it especially quiet ?

2:04 am

thanks joey -- I even had each half, sort of!

2:05 am

TY Joey

2:05 am

how about a clue for the mu6?

2:05 am

yvw

fran - teenage turtles

2:05 am

Volley, Its the quiet time before the UK gang wakes up and comes on

2:06 am

fran, think teenage turtles

or as my girlfriends son used to call the - the muninjaurts

2:06 am

duh, that's what i thought at first, but didn't try it!!

2:06 am

how cute.

it WAS cute - he's 21 now & 6'4 ! i tease him about that & how he used to play wicked air guitar to 'bbbbbad to the bbbbbone'

2:08 am

hk, i'm sure he just looooves you for bringing that up. ;-)

2:22 am

morning all

2:22 am

du8 lynxxx

2:23 am

the other j is ji4

2:24 am

is the du rubbish related? and TY for both of those

2:24 am

yes lynxxx

2:25 am

and yw

2:25 am

du could be the most unwanted venter too

2:26 am

hey babrab!

2:26 am

Hello, all

2:27 am

LOL BabbleR - I thought that - now if I can just figure out the end....

2:31 am

actually doesn't that du mean the most chubby person (OK - overweight) ? or is it too hot here and Im not thinking straight

2:32 am

i don't think they would have to be the most overweight, merely severely unkempt.

2:32 am

thanks for the clue by the way....

2:33 am

lynxxx, def says most short and squat

2:33 am

ty fran for the du8

2:34 am

yw mva

2:34 am

thats what I thought - that word is used much anymore

2:35 am

did you all hear about the guy who saved the young man in the subway?

2:36 am

20-year old man had a seizure and fell onto the tracks. this guy jumps down, throws himself over him to keep him from flailing and the train that was coming just cleared them.

2:36 am

I did on the radio coming home - quite amazing what people can do under extreme circumstances

2:37 am

his two little girls were on the platform with him and watched while the train passed, not knowing if they were going to make it. just amazing!

2:37 am

was that the man who didn't want his children seeing a man killed by a train? if so how brave!!

2:37 am

was lucky he missed the third rail.... or that the seizuring guy didn't flail onto it.... would have been mildly cripsy critters....

2:38 am

so many things could have gone wrong, they said the clearance under the train is like 21 inches, they were at about 20.5 inches!

2:40 am

he's on letterman (or was) tonight.

2:42 am

just seen a clip of him on letterman

2:48 am

any clues for il6 please

2:49 am

more poorly?

3:30 am

HI Haz

3:30 am

Hi Haz

3:30 am

So we are not alone!

3:30 am

stile

3:30 am

Just come back from playing on another site ... get a few in before I go to bed and read

3:31 am

And how are you finding the grid?

3:32 am

I have really enjoyed it - lovely sounding words. Although having probs with top left hand corned at present.

3:32 am

lots of 3 letter plurals so far been doing it for 20 mintues or so

3:32 am

eats

3:32 am

Hey Kazzer hope that you are putting those words in to the word box too

3:33 am

I'm still at the jumping around stage putting in words wherever they jump out at me.

3:33 am

yes - I have finger troubles most of the time

3:36 am

No problem Kazzer - just would hate you to get to the end and not have all those words ... think that's where I lose mine often - or leaving the cursor off the right spot when I am moving the page around. Must get a bigger monitor LOL

3:37 am

its very easy to forget that you were talking to folks when you sea a word and forget to click back to the word box - how are you doing?

3:37 am

109 to go - so half way - I try to get half of all the boxes first. Then ... well see how much time I have

3:38 am

What about you?

3:38 am

Sounds a bit like me - tend to get about have and then wonder off for a break

3:39 am

morning, hows the grid today

3:39 am

Hi ren - not too bad - the first half is fun

3:39 am

Good morning ren - not long started but okay so far.

3:39 am

Not too sure about second half - just getting into that bit

3:40 am

Hi Angb & Haz - Better get started then before little man requires my attention

3:48 am

Oh gump isn't a word

3:50 am

nugs was not found in the dictionary. take that stoners

3:54 am

99 to go - can't see any more words tonite. So will say goodnite. Happy babbling

3:55 am

Goodnight Angb. Sleep well.

3:55 am

Night AngB

4:00 am

morning all :)

4:00 am

Good morning miametro.

4:00 am

Hi Mia

4:00 am

tups

4:01 am

how is it today?

4:01 am

So far okay, but I think it may get sticky....

4:01 am

Not too bad - lots of 3 letter plurals

4:07 am

gosh. there ARE rather a lot of 4 letter words aren't there?

4:07 am

Now that you mention it.... I've only just looked at the word stats.

4:11 am

hi all!

4:11 am

Hello Fran - you're back!

4:12 am

yes, 70 left, i wanted to whittle it down a bit more before going to the list in the morning.

4:12 am

I think I'll be diving for the list long before 70. I'll keep looking for a while....

4:13 am

Hiya Fran

4:13 am

hi kazzer

4:14 am

meaningless protest that upse** is not accepted, it something we always do in retail.

4:18 am

I'm surprised that gilet isn't accepted - it's used commonly here

4:19 am

what does it mean haz?

4:20 am

It's a type of waistcoat - not the fitted kind, more like a sleeveless jacket, if that makes sense.

4:20 am

Also leat is not in the dictionary - its used here to describe a man made small stream

4:20 am

like a tunic almost?

4:21 am

A gilet would normally have a zipper or buttons down the front - it can be padded, almost like an anorak.

4:21 am

i think i can picture it.

4:22 am

If you can think of pictures of hunting/shooting/fishing types, then that is the idea. But they're also used as fashion items, not in the anorak mode.

4:22 am

But enable doesn't believe in them!

4:22 am

sounds like something you might find at Burberry's i'm thinking.

4:22 am

morning all

4:23 am

hi sprite! i haven't seen you for ages!

4:23 am

Yes - but the term covers lots of different types. Good morning, sprite.

4:23 am

Hey Fran *hug* Been around at odd hours, we have missed each other I think.

4:24 am

we must have.

4:24 am

morning all

4:24 am

hi kate :)

4:24 am

Good morning kth.

4:25 am

I agree, gilet should be valid.

4:25 am

hi kate!

4:25 am

sounds like it should be a word.

4:25 am

It joins a long list of wannabes.

4:26 am

Or should that be oughtabes?

4:26 am

oughtabes sounds good. :-)

4:26 am

it IS a word. At least in dutch, french and some, I think.

4:26 am

lol

4:26 am

oughtabes! Brilliant word :)

4:29 am

phantom: luau

4:29 am

ahhhh that would have been nice. Has it ever been in a grid, that you remember?

4:30 am

this is a really terrible grid for phantoms

4:30 am

it's been a while sprite. definitely not in the last month.

4:30 am

it sure is marpocky

4:31 am

phantoms and oughtabes. True marpocky

4:31 am

"jumps" keeps staring at me

4:31 am

and i want to close the loop on "tallest"

4:32 am

They are very close to other words, though.

4:32 am

yep

4:33 am

mutilate

4:33 am

morning everyone!

4:33 am

hi conx!

4:33 am

I thought I'd get some of the smaller tiles out the way, but I can't see a single word from the i

4:33 am

Good morning Con.

4:33 am

mutilate as alternative for good morning, ConX? :) Morning!

4:33 am

morning conx

4:34 am

il6 - most unwell

4:34 am

i have a 6 from the i, that's all

4:34 am

indeed sprite! hello haz, fran, kth and all!

4:34 am

Morning all........

4:34 am

il6 and mutilate describes my morning...

4:34 am

ty haz

4:34 am

it generally shows up in a rap music context

4:34 am

hi caitlyn

4:34 am

same here pocky and kate.

4:35 am

hi caitlyn

4:35 am

hiya caitlyn

4:35 am

conx, not having a good day so far?

4:35 am

well.... i'm ok.... My daughter;s on the operating table as I type.... a bit nerve wrecking really

4:36 am

il4/4 and il5/10 as well as the 6

4:36 am

oh how awful conx, I hope she's ok

4:36 am

Oh Con nothing too bad I hope

4:36 am

conx, hope she gets through okay.

4:36 am

More than a bit, I reckon, ConX. Hope she will be out of there and well very soon.

4:36 am

Yoink - haven't seen you for ages!

4:36 am

they're pulling her innerds out - literally. sewing them back together and putting them all back in again.

4:37 am

Hi Haz, mostly just lurk these days

4:37 am

that is certainly nerve wrecking.

4:37 am

you're in the right place conx, we'll try to keep your mind busy

4:37 am

I hope all goes well for her (and you )

4:37 am

Thanks for the il words, anyway, Yoink.

4:37 am

thanks yoink!

4:38 am

In september they took her whole colon out and she;s had a stoma (bag thing). this operation is to remove the stoma, let the small intestine get used to doing all the work and hope all is well. (which will take two years or so...) thanks for your care and support!

4:38 am

hi Yoink

4:38 am

can you stop my tummy churning kth? ;)

4:39 am

No probs, worked my way up to 150 so far without the list, nice grid. Hi Sprite

4:39 am

I wish i could conx but i'm not that good lol

4:39 am

Nope, we can't, ConX. Hugs for you and her, we'll be thinking of you both.

4:39 am

Con - I hope all goes well, Isn't it amazing what can be done? And that tummy churning will be stopped by nothing!

4:40 am

some breakfast may help.... and a bath....

4:40 am

how long will she be in theatre for conx

4:40 am

yeah, medical world is brilliant really.

4:41 am

BEst Wishes to you Both Conx

4:41 am

that will help, but being a mother means you'll always have that tummy churning.

4:41 am

Thats aways my cure Con a nice long soak in the bath always helps

4:41 am

Anything to keep your mind busy, ConX :) Take care of yourself, or try to anyway.

4:41 am

this operation is just over an hour. The first operation was 4 hours!

4:42 am

So actually this is peanuts... :§

4:42 am

lol - yeah sure.

4:42 am

And still the tummy churns....

4:42 am

oh that's not too bad then, at least you know it will all be over soon and then you'll know she's ok

4:42 am

lol! indeed it does haz!

4:43 am

Has anyone used my icon clue?LOL

4:43 am

yeah. We're waiting for the surgeon to phone to tell us that everything went better than well and she's resting and recovering from the aneashtitlkjaltoit - stuff to make you sleep

4:44 am

Brillian - thanks caitlyn!

4:44 am

Its never good when its your baby thats being operated on - no matter what age they are

4:44 am

thanks caitlyn!

4:44 am

caitlyn great icon, une had it earlier too.

4:44 am

brb have a bottom to change

4:45 am

Him and his friends are one of only 3 7s I have Caitlyn, not having much luck spotting them so far

4:45 am

so right kazzer. she was 23 in december and over the past few months she's been more my little girtl than ever before

4:45 am

Oh I didnt know Fran I will change it for this afternoons session!!

4:45 am

oooooo phone!!!

4:45 am

I have 4 of the sevens, so am not much further on, Yoink.

4:46 am

i found the 8 all by myself today!

4:46 am

I think I am being stupid - what icon clue

4:46 am

only 6 of the 7s here.

4:46 am

Well done Fran!!

4:46 am

kazzer, you might need to refresh your browser.

4:47 am

This grid badly needs an R, I can see loads of words if only there was one

4:47 am

Kazzer - click on the icon. Fridays are always the day when people give a clue to a word in the grid with their icon.

4:47 am

are always the days when....

4:48 am

i found the il4 but i've tried every combo for the il5 and still nothing

4:48 am

Just stick a consonant on the end of the 4

4:48 am

Thanx got that one

4:48 am

marpocky, you have to repeat the consonant.

4:48 am

marpocky - add a consonant to make the word end like a snake like fish (almost)

4:49 am

oh wow, there it is. thanks you 3

4:49 am

And if you lose the i at the front, you get an l4 word

4:50 am

i just found this game 2 days ago and i'm already addicted

4:50 am

Clue for il 4

4:51 am

It has that effect.

4:51 am

il4/4 - add two vowels

4:52 am

Thanx again

4:52 am

You're welcome.

4:54 am

okay, 56 left and hopelessly stalled, going to try again in the morning.

4:54 am

good night babblers!

4:54 am

4:57 am

I've gotten to the all too familiar stage of making up words now

4:57 am

ta ta ren

4:57 am

Those words, Yoink, go in the mightjustbe column.

4:58 am

bye Fran, ren, Good morning everyone else.

4:58 am

Good morning pida.

4:58 am

Morning pida

4:58 am

hi pida

4:59 am

Hi Pida. Haz, I can almost hear Babble sigh as it tells me the word is not in the dictionary, and feel like it wants to add "and you knew it wouldn't be so why did you bother?"

4:59 am

Morning Haz, caitlyn, et all, kthdsn....looks like I might rather go back to bed, then start to tackle the grid....Hi Yoink

4:59 am

Good Morning Pida - I'm glad i'm not the only one that makes words up

4:59 am

lol yoink I know that feeling

5:00 am

I know, Yoink, but when you've seen the words that ARE accepted, it's understandable that you try everything.

5:02 am

Better go abd move the dust around bbl

5:03 am

Bye caitlyn

5:03 am

Bye, caitlyn.

5:03 am

anyone have the other E from the middle row, I have consumes

5:03 am

eg4/6

5:03 am

it's a strange word. eg4/6

5:04 am

ty yoink

5:04 am

shortened form of ae5/14

5:04 am

apparently

5:04 am

Put an a in front of it for the shiled of Zeus, as below

5:05 am

Oh, marpocky's gone pro. The addiction really kicked in early!

5:06 am

:D

5:07 am

i figured if i was going to do it, may as well do it early

5:07 am

Good for you - no point in delaying the inevitable.

5:07 am

Welcome marpocky, It

5:08 am

thanks

5:08 am

It's the cheapest addiction on the market, and the most time consuming also

5:09 am

So, Yoink, we were talking about sevens. Have you anything different from ag7/36, la7/28, pi7/40, ta7/28? I haven't gone to the list yet, wanted to get a few more.

5:10 am

did I miss the last i clue, I have a 4 and a 6

5:10 am

Add a consonant to the il4, kth

5:10 am

there's a mu7/44

5:11 am

thanks haz

5:11 am

I go a-looking marpocky, thanks.

5:11 am

I have another ta7/28

5:11 am

ha gi4/6 one of my favourite words

5:12 am

Thanks, Yoink.

5:13 am

Got the mu7, thanks.

5:14 am

So enable accepts french sizes, but not french waistcoats..... Thanks for the ta7, Yoink.

5:15 am

so this list thing, how does it work? i'm not ready to resort to it yet but i'm curious about it

5:17 am

The list may just save your sanity some days, marpocky. Two babblers publish lists each day of the words giving first two letters and points values. You can access lickety's list from under Friends of Babble (Lickety's babble clues) or Brandyjack's list through Babblers Anonymous. For lots of info, read Angelsong's Babble Page, again under Friends of Babble at the left bottom of the page.

5:17 am

ah. i'll have to check it out when i get down in the "few words left" category perhaps

5:18 am

Not seeing the mu7

5:18 am

It can vary from day to day, depending on what the grid is like. Some players like to do it without the list, but they seek help by asking for clues. I like to use the list when I'm ready, and also use online dictionaries.

5:19 am

Think of a horse called Sally, Yoink.

5:19 am

Thanks, Haz

5:19 am

You're welcome!

5:19 am

i better go do some laundry, be back soon

5:20 am

5:29 am

5:29 am

I am so pleased for you all - I hope that she recovers well and this will be it

5:30 am

5:30 am

5:31 am

The wonders of medicine. :)

5:59 am

You're welcome!

5:59 am

See you late Kate. Don't work too hard.

5:59 am

bye Kate

5:59 am

I thought i got the el 6/21 but it dont like my attempts

5:59 am

Bye Kate

5:59 am

Thank you Haz

6:00 am

el plus the vowel that sounds like a personal pronoun, then an insect that sounds like a female relative?

6:02 am

again, thanks Haz

6:03 am

You're welcome. Still looking for another 5 seven letter words......

6:03 am

What does the 8 start with?

6:03 am

du8/60, Scrabbler

6:03 am

I still need 12 7's, but I am just getting familiar with the grid.

builds from du 4/8

6:04 am

thankx got it this time

6:04 am

That's good, Kazzer.

6:04 am

Hmm, it wasn't the compound word that I expected--still looking

scrabbler - use ending meaning "the most"

6:05 am

It's superlative rather than compound, if that's any help. And it's not flattering either!

6:06 am

TY--I thought it was going to be du4,8 + si4,4

6:06 am

Thanks Katydid and Haz

yw

ah, ty katydid and Haz

gotta get ready for work now. c-ya all this evening.

6:07 am

ok that's enough for now, back to the grid :D

Eva was it too hot where you're at in Vermont? I'm in Massachusetts and we had to have the fan on last night and the windows open!

6:20 am

6:21 am

Babble - thanks for the nu7

6:21 am

i wish it was warm here, it's miserable and grey and keeps drizzling

6:21 am

it's not quite that bad here, ch...in the 30's at night, but will be in the 50's today. UGHHH

6:21 am

na 5/10 - plural masculine name

6:21 am

I am being stupid about that nu7. Mine is only 4, lol.

6:22 am

We're supposed to get up to 61 today. Last night it got down to the high 30's but our apartment is right over the furnace room, and is always a bit warmer than the others

6:22 am

nu7 - add bitterness to the food

6:22 am

it's 2 separate words joined together sprite-the pecanpart is the first and the chutzpah is the second

6:22 am

thanks haz and eva :)

6:23 am

I thought it would mean she who brings the nu4 around, lol.

6:23 am

rude

6:24 am

A swelling produced on a tree by a parasitic wasp is the definition. You live and learn.

6:24 am

I am never rude :) The peanuts and cashews and such, of course.

6:24 am

what hodag?

6:24 am

There hardly passes a babble day without me learning something new :)

6:27 am

hi arb

6:27 am

what's going on?

6:27 am

I'm worred about the an5/14. I thought enable might not accept it....

6:27 am

I am immensely pleased to recall at appopriate times that words in my wordlist are much easiler to find.

6:28 am

thanks for that Haz!

6:29 am

You're welcome, Eva.

6:29 am

any clues for the du8?

6:29 am

Nice clue, Haz

6:29 am

du8 - a superlative word, meaning the most short and squat.

6:29 am

superlative of the du 4/8

6:29 am

Thanks ARB

6:29 am

what is chutzpah

6:30 am

He/she who gets rid of girl/boyfriends the most is the du8.

6:30 am

6:31 am

hi anastasia

6:31 am

Flosey, how is Miss Hattie these days? I haven't seen her here in quite some time

6:31 am

Can't believe I missed that. Was trying to extend the other du4/8

6:32 am

you mean Hettie? I was just asking Jill but unfortunately my question must have been lost in the chatbox, didn't get an answer

6:32 am

Beleive me, you DON'T want to have any more du4/8 than necessary.

6:32 am

Chutzpah is when the guy who killed his mother and father asks the judge for acquittal because he's an orphan

6:32 am

LOL!

6:32 am

LOL ARB

6:32 am

Yes, my typo fingers get in the way -- I meant to write Miss Hettie.

6:33 am

I'll see Jilli on Monday, will ask her then

6:33 am

That's the old Yiddish definition of the Yiddish word.

6:33 am

makes it perfectly clear, ARB

6:34 am

and now I have the word!!

6:34 am

have to dash -- bbl

6:34 am

how long is my last na, I have a 4 and two 5s

6:34 am

thanks all - ARB, your definition got it for me

6:34 am

If I were the judge that sort of insolence would have a bearing on the punishment

6:34 am

If I were the judge that sort of insolence would have a bearing on the punishment

6:35 am

I need another na5, also--I have the nickname for Mr Hawthorne

6:35 am

6:35 am

one na5 is related to birth

6:36 am

That's it, Kate.. TY...then I gave a clue for your other na5

6:36 am

the other 5/10 I clued as a plural masculine name

6:37 am

6:37 am

I have that one, I have a 4 and 2 5s, what did I miss

6:37 am

6:37 am

6:37 am

Still cant get nu 7

6:38 am

6:38 am

na 4 --- add vowels and na 4/4 --- a broken down horse or what you complains

6:38 am

6:40 am

Thanx never heard that word before - got all the els now thanx

6:40 am

You're welcome.

any more hints?

6:42 am

anastasia - there are loads of four letter words in the grid, start with those. Then you can scroll back through the chat log for more detailed clues on other words.

6:42 am

stuck on the na with vowels. i know i know it, but i've completely forgotten and my brain feels fried!

6:43 am

na then head in a north easterly direction for the first vowel

6:43 am

rhymes with a very young man, miametro

6:43 am

Any clues on the ai 6/24 and 7/36?

6:44 am

ai6/24 - resembles the structure of the young porcine featured in the grid, then plural

6:44 am

7:15 am

du8/60 most short and stout

7:15 am

thanks ARB

7:15 am

7:15 am

such and unkind word

7:15 am

You're welcome peri

7:15 am

true, Babble

7:16 am

so sprite, when you say combos (and forgive me for sounding so thick), you mean the 6-6-7 are pretty much the same word?

7:16 am

just started but only have one el6 :(

7:16 am

Have you got my icon clue. Click it to see in action.

7:16 am

that's correct, miametro. Like singular and plural, or verb forms + person doing it, combos like that.

7:17 am

Lol Frances!

7:17 am

Frances, I love your icon

7:17 am

hrm. would help if i knew what these words meant, lol.

7:18 am

I thought it cute

7:18 am

Terrific Frances -- do you do that every day too?

7:18 am

In an ideal world ARB. I'd never get off the floor!!!

7:19 am

I know have that lady do it for me :)

7:19 am

I was going to take my hat off to you!

7:19 am

She does the si6/24 while I take my si6/18. We share the load.

7:20 am

I do it in other ways - like walking the dog for at least four hours. Well, I walk and he runs.

7:20 am

the last combo el, i'm missing either the first or second six. can you help? i have the one that turns into a plural.

7:20 am

LOL sprite, I didn't have the si6 thanks

7:21 am

Sprite - you just clued me 3 words -- thank you

7:21 am

for the 7s, peri, there is a series connected to Frances's si7. Also se, le and ge.

7:21 am

thanks sprite

7:22 am

I only have an si6 from Frances' icon

7:22 am

mine is the opposite

7:22 am

Any help on the la 6/27 and the la 7/28 ?

7:23 am

La6/27 is blue la....

7:24 am

the 7 is not the plural. Looks like plural to french milk.

7:25 am

but it means bodies of religious worshipers, as distinguished from the clergy.

7:25 am

la 7 -- la + new york london paris are ci****

7:25 am

you say blue la and i read blue lagoon, lol. but it can't be that, obv, so i'm stumped as to what you mean.

7:25 am

miametro, I mean that. Other spelling though, with spanish or italian last letter.

7:25 am

la**** seca - race car track

7:25 am

mia, similar word to the one who stated

7:25 am

try another language -- got it Sprite.

7:25 am

peri si6/18 lunchtime sleep

la**** Beach

7:26 am

Frances, but that is a 6 and I can't fine the 7:(

7:27 am

peri, I put you on the wrong track. They are all 6s. Forget my 'clue'.

7:28 am

ah ha, trying to confuse me sprite :)

7:28 am

hi Une

7:28 am

hey, annie!

7:28 am

7:33 am

7:36 am

I've got that one annie lol

7:36 am

oh, that one is a 6

7:37 am

Do you have Le5/14 - 6/24?

7:37 am

el7/36 - someone who writes mournful poems

7:37 am

7:38 am

Then: E + those, and for another 7, switch last 2 letters of the 7.

7:38 am

7:38 am

el 7/36 -- in many places, to vote you must r*****er

7:43 am

el 6/21 -- add the performance of employees is eval****d annully. Plural for the 7

7:44 am

That same EL6 can be made into another one, sorta rhymes with the end of your arm.

7:46 am

7:56 am

THere are a lot of 7-clues in the log already, movie.

7:56 am

we're of one mind, dezyon, on this anyway ;)

7:57 am

sprite - i think i've missed most of those 7 clues

7:57 am

The whole day's chat log is only a click away

7:57 am

I think the du 8 is the one who hauls the most gravel

7:57 am

we did not erase them, movieman :)

7:58 am

the little icon above the chat will let you view the entire log movie

7:58 am

but my computer tends to lock up if i try to look at the entire log......

7:59 am

du 8 is the beauty of english, 3 different interpretations for one little plain word

7:59 am

Happy Friday, fellow Babblers!

8:30 am

I want to thank you Hurshy for yesterday's clue about not being able to see. I had to leave and do real work. When I got back to the grid, I found the clue. Your clue was really clever. It was the "eye" thing for the re words. Thanks a lot.

8:31 am

one is a plural of a 6, one rhymes with friends who fight with you, one is that plural but with a vowel as last letter.

8:32 am

got that ga7, thx to morewords.com, but ty anyway sprite........

8:33 am

I am afraid Hurshy is not online atm, Strider.

8:34 am

Thks Sprite. I'll repeat the message when Hurshy is online.

8:35 am

Have you got all your 7 letters now, MM?

8:36 am

yes, at last, ty haz......

Good morning, il6/18 is driving me nuts, any clues please?

8:36 am

Grand, just completed them myself. I'll come back shortly when the house has achieved desired hygiene status.....

8:37 am

I don't have the 6 that those ga7's are building from - any hints, please?

8:37 am

marc - the most sick.......

8:37 am

Marc, do you have the il4/4? Just add a consonant.

8:37 am

ga6/24 - same structure as what gentlemen keep their money in.

8:38 am

Sorry Marc - that was for a 5. Not your 6.

Thanks Sprite got it.

8:38 am

Then add either a vowel for ga7/36 or a plural letter for another ga7/36

8:39 am

Fireworks, finally.

8:39 am

got 'em - thanks, Haz!

8:40 am

Well done sprite - and you're welcome K,E. Off I go....

8:55 am

ag6 = ag + consonant + dined. ag7 is pl.

8:55 am

Bye Sprite, thanks for the help

8:56 am

du is not a compound

8:56 am

Have a nice day, Sprite

8:56 am

du ending is the most

8:56 am

8:56 am

ty

8:57 am

I'd say it's medium-hard

9:02 am

cluez for the 1st le6/24 plz....

9:03 am

Easy, and then hard

9:03 am

definitely not easy, shorty

9:03 am

9:06 am

see you all later

9:08 am

With persistence and clues from the log I am almost there but not quite

9:10 am

did you get it, TO?

9:10 am

I'm about to cave at 54 to go.

yes, ty!

9:10 am

right on

9:11 am

Afternoon, lets try again

9:12 am

I think I'm about to give in also, Haz

9:13 am

But then, I''m notoriously impatient. I read the back of detective novels just to avoid suspense.

9:15 am

Argh, had missed an incredibly simple ti4/5 somehow

9:16 am

I'm glad someone else does that too, Haz

9:17 am

It helps you keep an eye out for the baddy.

9:17 am

I actually took "20th century murder mystery novels" in university

9:18 am

And your favourite authors?

9:18 am

I really like Umberto Eco but other than that, they really didn't appeal to me much

9:19 am

So did the course put you off the genre?

9:19 am

no...I really have never liked the genre...the Sue Grafton books are good...I prefer historical fiction

9:20 am

the prof was a published author himself and he a great teacher

9:21 am

I assume it was part of an English Lit course?

9:21 am

Raelite - it seems no one in England reads Sue Grafton apart from myself

9:21 am

I took it for my english major...lol scary...and because I was also majoring in classics I had all this background to the books...I found them predicatable

haz ty - i'd forgotten your icon!

9:23 am

Ah - it has inspired you, TO!

9:23 am

I like them as a nice easy bath read

9:23 am

they are and the heroine is so real, she seems very approchable

9:24 am

I am Kinsey

9:24 am

lol...really? nice to meet you!

9:26 am

back :)

9:26 am

Welcome.

9:26 am

:O)

9:28 am

i enjoy anne perry and elizabeth peters

9:28 am

Hi everyone - I finally figured out how to add an icon - checking to see if it worked

9:28 am

I *love* elizabeth peters

9:28 am

does anyone have the ta5/18 please

9:29 am

Well, the last 18 went pretty quick with the list. Done

9:29 am

ta5/18 describes a particular kind of taste

9:29 am

Congratulations Yoink!

9:29 am

well done Yoink

9:29 am

congrats yoink

9:30 am

Yay Yoink!

yay yoink!

9:31 am

Thanks all, now I should probably do some of what I'm actually *paid* to do in all this babbling time

9:32 am

You've got prioritising down to a fine art, anyway.

9:32 am

that took a moment, thanks Haz

9:33 am

You're welcome,ren.

9:33 am

For sure. Got to get Babble out of the way before other trivialities like work

9:33 am

Ok Enable, it's go time . . .I KNOW that there is such a thing as mung beans and it's not uncommon ..

9:34 am

You on mari?

hi and hny, tor!

9:34 am

good morning

9:34 am

Tor, I've had that conversation (about mung beans) before.

9:35 am

Good to see another person on here who supports Liverpool Yoink, who do you think will win tomorrow?

9:35 am

I had tried mung too for that reason, Torgone. Hi Jane

9:35 am

glies

9:35 am

glits

hi jane

9:35 am

whoops! sorry folks...

9:35 am

Ren, I'm confident seeing as it's at Anfield, I'll probably be there too

9:36 am

Lucky you, I would love to go to Anfield. I think it will be a tough game now Henry is back

9:38 am

I go to most of the home games, it's a bit of a drain on the old bank account though

9:39 am

could i get a clue for any of the i words?

9:39 am

il - most sick

il4 - gut

9:40 am

il4/4 il + two vowels, then add a consonant for il5/10

9:40 am

thanks, think I"ll go look for a picture of the small intestine!

9:41 am

I can imagine it is - well enjoy and I will be thinking of you whilst I am sitting at home in the warm

9:42 am

Hot chocolate and a good coat should see me through. Right, I'm off now, bye all

9:43 am

Bye Yoink - don't forget to say hello again, less lurking!

9:44 am

Have fun and my fingers are crossed - bye Yoink

ah the e words are a source of delight : /

9:46 am

Will do, Haz. Thanks Ren

9:46 am

You will be in the el5/10 when you get them.

haz, that and to make gald, as well as the one who pays tribute, are all i have

so far

9:47 am

Extend the select el5/10 to get a couple more.

9:48 am

el6/18 - plural, el7/28 - being el5/10

9:48 am

The one who pays tribute (el7) can have its ending rearranged to get another el7

ty haz - time for me to go. it's my last day of freedom before work on monday. bbl to finish and ty for the chat and the clues.

9:52 am

in that top corner e, are they all el's?

9:52 am

she's had a second operation on her guts, smooth. Colon was taken out in september. ALL of it because of colitis. Now the small intestine has been all joined up so she can have a 'normal' life. Needing loos much more often, but at least no outside of body bag thing. Amazing what a body can adapt to doing - or without having.

12:25 pm

now I must go as dinner is ready.

wow con, that's quite an ordeal... but yes... I knew a woman who had a similar procedure... it is amazing the adaptibility of the body

Hi Kate

1:05 pm

he's just been round to visit

1:05 pm

du 6/24 please, the last one

howd that go?

1:05 pm

it was horrible, I feel really down now

DU 6: things that you must do

1:06 pm

duny

I'm sorry kate

1:06 pm

Sorry Magzel - don't have any - how many are there

1:07 pm

thanks smooth pappa

1:08 pm

need teh 1st si 5/14 pls

1:08 pm

I was doing fine until he turned up, now I feel like crying, but I refuse to because I don't know what I want to cry for

1:08 pm

got it

1:09 pm

he said he's trying to get a loan to buy my half of the house, he says he thinks he can arrange it so I get the money and he takes on the whole mortgage, does that sound right to anyone?

1:09 pm

Kth rather the go through this you might ask him to call before he shows up

1:09 pm

el 7/32 amd both first and second and el6/21, the first please

1:10 pm

he did call yvo, but it was still a shock

well, kate, I have never owned property or housing, but if you are trying to leave, I don't see how that would be a problem

1:10 pm

surely if he bought my half I would be expected to spend that money on my half of the mortgage though?

1:10 pm

sorry kthd - that must be awful having to deal with him

EL 7/32... the ethos of feeling superior to others

1:11 pm

No, Kth, I don't think so. He is buying you out

yeah, if he buys your half, you have no mortgage... he takes it all

1:12 pm

so I get the money and he keeps the entire mortgage, even though it's in both our names?

EL 7/32... EL + The School teache ed*c***** me

1:12 pm

if he buys you out with a lump sum the mortage is his problems. the question here is can he get the money, make sure je can before you sign anything. make sure you have cah in hand

1:12 pm

yes, pretty sure that's how it works.

well, it wouldn't be in your name if he bought it from you

1:12 pm

You sign off the mortgage if buys you out. You no longer owe the debt.

1:12 pm

hello

1:13 pm

If the mortgage is in both of your names, the lender is not obligated to take your name off and ca n look to your for payment. However, if the payments remain current, the lender may not accelerate the loan requiring immediate payment

1:13 pm

By the way, g'd afternoon Babblers

hi lori!

1:13 pm

that just seems very odd to me, we payed £50k for the house, so if he borrows £25k to buy my half he owns a 50k house and owes 75k for it?

1:13 pm

does anyone have a clue for the last gi4,6 word?

1:14 pm

oh thanks babble, so I would still be liable to pay the mortgage if he didn't

1:15 pm

No, Kth, pretty sure a new mortgage is drawn up. I guess it actually depends on the current value of the home. It may be as simple as taking your name off the mortgage, but at a price.

1:15 pm

KT, he would have to negotiate that with you and a lender. It also depends on if there's equity and so on. It can be very complicated, and you should be evry aware of the conditions. A mortgagor will be......

but kate, if you did go to canada, like you mentioned, I think it would place the onus on him to pay... but I should really shut up, since I have NO experience with this sort of thing. ;)

1:16 pm

kate, you should talk to someone in GB about these things. Can you talk to the Canadian consul there?

1:16 pm

I'm so confused lol, I will ask when i go to citizens advice on monday

1:16 pm

yes, because it is highly unlikely the lender will remove you name. in fact, if you try to get your name off the mortgage, the lender may feel insecure and try to acceerlate the loan

1:16 pm

I would be very very wary of simply having my name removed from a mortgage. A lender will not just remove your name, it's not that simple.

1:17 pm

good idea, Kate, cause mortgage laws in the USA are different from Canada and from Great Britain

1:17 pm

The Citizens advice thing would be good Kate. Each countries laws will be different.

1:17 pm

the terms of divorce or agreement do not change the terms of a contract

1:17 pm

the terms of divorce or agreement do not change the terms of a contract

1:17 pm

People get divorced all the time, it must be able to be done

1:17 pm

Exactly Babble.

1:18 pm

I know phan, but they don't usually go from sharing debts to one person walking away with cash

1:19 pm

I don't know, never had to go through that. Anyway, always seek the advise of an attorney in everthing you do with regard to your divorce

1:19 pm

kate you definitely need a lawyer to protect your interests.

1:19 pm

the best thing to happen would be for the mortgage to remain current so the lender is not an issue... if James wants to pay you have of any potential equity, that is his decision

1:19 pm

half

1:19 pm

citizens advice are going to help me with all the legal stuff, and managing my debts until i am able to leave etc

1:20 pm

Your debts are both your debts unless a satisfactory arrangement can be made with the lender(s). You are still on the hook. I've seen very UGLY situations arise in this regard.

1:20 pm

On a different note, may I have a word total please? (be gentle....)

1:20 pm

I'm sure there must be a way out of this somehow, i just have to find out what it is

1:20 pm

there still are many issues. if your name remains on the loan and james tries to sell the house or get a better rate, you still will have to sign off

1:21 pm

231

1:21 pm

lori feel free to ask for as many words as you want

1:21 pm

He can't sell if it's in both your names.

1:21 pm

Thank ye. (yikes, 231)

1:22 pm

I'm done work for the day, so I should finish, unless I have brain freeze...

1:23 pm

I was so hoping it would all be simple and I would be able to get out of here and start afresh with nothing to worry about but my new life, I guess it's a lot harder than I thought

1:23 pm

It's not impossible, just more complicated.

1:23 pm

the basic premise is that any agreement does not prevent the creditor from seeking payment from you--- even if james is ordered or has agreed to be responsible. your remedy is to seek recourse from james is you pay a debt he would now be responsible for.

1:24 pm

There is no simple, kate.... you would do well to seek legal advice

1:25 pm

For instance, what if down the road james decides he wants visitation or cutody of his child?

1:25 pm

Dunno' about overseas, but here, the law is very explicit. Irregardless pof any private mutual agreement between 2 people, the names on the lenders documents are accoutable, and can be pursued legally for late or unpaid debts.

1:26 pm

well I'm going to put it out of my mind until monday when i can get some proper advice, I don't need to be stressing about it when there's nothing I can do yet

1:27 pm

moreover, as a father, he has an obligation to support his child

1:27 pm

Smart girl KT! :-)

1:27 pm

Just lean on the Citizens Advice people Kate and don't sign anything util their Legal people have sighted the paperwork - I am assuming their staff includes qualified legal people.

off to buy chicken... If I don't see you later kate, I wish you the best of luck... and find a british expert to help you with htis one... for all of our best intentions, and good advice, it's all coming from American laws.

1:28 pm

thanks everyone, I feel a bit better someho

1:28 pm

w

1:28 pm

Later smooth!

1:29 pm

kate, although rather simplistic, knowledge is power. I mention these things as a point of reference for inquiry.

1:30 pm

thanks babble, what you said was useful

1:31 pm

Be aware of what you sign, that YOU understand it completely, otherwise, kepp 'yer pen in your pocket..... :)

1:31 pm

I will lori

1:31 pm

:-)

1:33 pm

and kate, being strong does not mean you can't release some stress by crying

1:34 pm

babblerabble, as it turns out i was just thinking about sloth of the mind, when i noticed your bio!

1:34 pm

I don't want to cry on my own, it makes me feel worse, I have people coming to visit this weekend I will cry with them

1:36 pm

yes, harpjane, to challenge your mind is a wonderful thing

1:36 pm

babble you had a quote about hate in your profile a few days ago that really stuck in my mind, do you know who said it first?

1:36 pm

elatism

1:37 pm

let me look, kate

“Hating is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” ~ Unknown

1:38 pm

good one BR

1:40 pm

does anyone here have any thoughts on intention manifestion and the law of attraction? I've been reading about it a lot lately and I find it very interesting

1:45 pm

HUH?

1:46 pm

nu 7/40 please

1:46 pm

I guess not then lol

1:47 pm

tell us about it, kate!

1:47 pm

I know nothing about it, kate

1:47 pm

Hi I'm back - just been feeing the other half etc

1:47 pm

I do! I think it is a very useful state of mind. Have you read Excuse me Your life is waiting? I just started it, it is all about focusing on what you want and getting out of a state of "need". You attract what you radiate.

1:47 pm

feeling??

1:48 pm

ok, down to just s and t

nu 7/40 - another word for crazy or what squirrels collect for winter + word for severe or bile (g4)

1:48 pm

WBS: wrong box syndrome

1:49 pm

I haven't kitty, I've read and listened to a lot on steve pavlina's website and a few other sites

1:49 pm

No unfortunately feeding

1:49 pm

I did try nutella....didn't work

1:49 pm

sorry Kazz...maybe the feeling will come later

1:51 pm

it's a very interesting concept that the world as we see it is created within our minds and that instead of us existing in a world that was already there, we create the world with our thoughts, so if you think negative thoughts you attract negativity, and if you really believe something good will happen, then it will

1:51 pm

I'm just a toal genius today. May I have the word total again please? (I forgot to write it doen...)

231

1:51 pm

guess that makes me a black hole

1:52 pm

kate, you might find this site of use: http://www.cdm.uwaterloo.ca/index .asp Waterloo is in Ontario and the link is to the best career manual I have come across.

1:52 pm

I thought you were a whited sepulchre ..

1:52 pm

on the outside, yes, but inside - black hole

1:52 pm

thanks babble I'll check it out

1:52 pm

Jeez. 231. Thank ye again.

ta very much - i got all the ds now only the t, l and ss to go

1:59 pm

haven't seen stid all day

1:59 pm

I haven't heard of Steve Pavlina, I'll have to check him out. I've been taught a lot about how everything in the universe is connected. Those thoughts used to be in the world of religion or 'magic' only, but now Quantum Physics is proving it all to be true. You can just reach out and grab what you need, the only real trick is to get rid of your limiting beliefs and your negative thoughts, your "don't wants". Your brain latches onto those thoughts so easily and drags those items to you. That's why some people keep dating the 'wrong' type of person, or seem to have bad luck. They are stuck in that limiting pattern.

1:59 pm

Ok, putting the soapbox away now...

I"m allergic to recipes. ;)

2:27 pm

I took the ink out of a Bic pen and have been chewing on that. I'll get through I think. I don't want my kids to smoke, that's my main drive. Anywho, I better get to work, I'm now officially kid free for 4 hours a day, all in school, sniff. See ya'll tomorrow.

2:57 pm

I have just had a very, very rough day ... forgot three things that I had to do, and I didn't get the two e-mails that I need by Tuesday yet ... they're "crucial" - or at least, crucial in a way. Partly crucial. I don't know what word you'd use for that!

sorry i meant 32 points

2:58 pm

ooh, when I hit the list shortly, I'll know if this is the one, but I have el7.32 that refers to being snobby

2:58 pm

I have noticed a fault in Snoopy ... Snoopy is looking at the keys! You're SUPPOSED to look at the screen, but of course, he's kind-of looking at it.

2:58 pm

one who is rather stuck up

2:58 pm

hmm ok

2:59 pm

it builds off el5.10; do you have that one?

2:59 pm

yes

3:00 pm

ok thanks

3:00 pm

Of course, I don't mean to be snobby ... Aloyisius reminded me with the clue not to do that. It's a rude idea ... of course, also there's other bad stuff going on ... I'm feeling kind of rude.

3:00 pm

not so much "one who is" as it is "the practice of being", isn't it?

3:00 pm

I keep on wondering why some words aren't words ... it's so annoying sometimes ...

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

yesterday had "docs"

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

3:02 pm

sandy, the Irish dance these

3:02 pm

oops, that's ji4/11 - never mind

3:02 pm

illest

3:02 pm

I have a question, if anyone knows it. At the end of a puzzle, is there a way to view all of the words it consisted of? That could help build patterns for where to look for words.

3:03 pm

Thnx Babblerabble! got my fireworks!

3:03 pm

SORRY!!!

3:03 pm

the ji4/10 is a word that ends in a 2 point letter

3:03 pm

3:03 pm

Bravo, CousinMO!!!

3:04 pm

hey, I needed that one, Flask... (-:

3:04 pm

3:04 pm

And of course if you complete the puzzle, you have your word list too :)

3:04 pm

Really? I think I'll take a look at that although I didn't play yesterday.

3:04 pm

23 words to go - its is taking an age today - struggling with the sts at tne mo

3:04 pm

ch1212 - thanks for that

3:05 pm

y/w - I wasn't sure how to clue that word.

3:05 pm

struggling builds character

3:07 pm

MP & JWest - I think you believe the words are devised or built up to make the grid (like a crossword). I don't think this is the case. The letters doled out each day are random - which is why the number of words ranges from 50 to 450 !!

stopping in to say hi to everyone

3:24 pm

sorry, Kazzer... don't have that one yet

3:24 pm

wait that's sp. sorry

3:24 pm

kazzer, I think you want the weird combo st 5/14 and st6/24? Add 3rd vowel right after the first vowel in the st5/18 word, then drop the final sometimes vowel letter... then plural

3:24 pm

the ingredients are: 1 refrigerated pie crust 1 egg white, lightly beaten 3/4 cup sugar 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1Tbsp Ground Cinnamon 4 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (about 4 medium) 1 tsp sugar

3:24 pm

sorry kas dont have

3:24 pm

Kazzer let me know if you need a different kind of clue.

3:25 pm

st 5/14, like a male deer, with a extra vowel in the middle

3:25 pm

i have 2 st 5/14s. one is a part of mu/7 and one is almost the same as that with the 4th letter different. st6/24 is its plural

3:25 pm

or, just look at pida's much more concise clue :)

3:25 pm

ty, pida.. needed those!

3:25 pm

no, she sent it to me directly... I'll post it if you want it. Pretty simple (but my Tom has to make the crust for me, I am horrible at crusts)

3:25 pm

yvw

3:25 pm

st 5/14 -- englis is a l***guage

3:26 pm

I am the worst pie crust maker in the entire universe!!

3:26 pm

the other st5/14 is the drink astronaut's drink in space with an s in front

3:26 pm

Refrigerator pie crust works for me.

3:26 pm

st 5 -- diet company: jenny cr***

3:26 pm

You can email it to me some time when you think of it. No hurry

3:26 pm

3:30 pm

okay ... kazzer, take the word for the place actors perform (A st***). Drop off that last letter. Add an "i" right after the first vowel in that word. Voila!

i grew up on the san juan islands but i live in San Diego now

3:30 pm

oops 6/24

3:31 pm

oops... abb. for where you catch a train + **uana, a big lizzard then pl

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

Kazzer -- that's how it is: some grids seem really easy and you will fly through them. Others will be very difficult -- and sometimes it's easy for you when it's hard for the others...

3:34 pm

or, *one with the wind

i feel the same way but my special someone is here

3:34 pm

3:48 pm

Stid - they sounded like a bunch of teenagers. (mom and her sisters)

3:48 pm

3:54 pm

3:55 pm

4:01 pm

I'm a bit simple today. Still can't find that la7.

4:02 pm

Kazzer - how are you going?

4:02 pm

Just read your bio, miranda --- hurrah for you! My beloved and I were married by an Episocopal priest -- she is a lovely friend, too.

4:02 pm

4:04 pm

Remind us when we get to that point on the calendar, and we'll keep in you special prayer.

4:04 pm

very similar to the tips on shoelaces

4:04 pm

ai6 and 7 resemble the structure of the young porcine(s) featured elsewhere in the grid.

4:04 pm

YW, MKL--

4:04 pm

if you have pi 6.27, just substitute the first letter

4:04 pm

Not yet - 4 to go all l something

4:05 pm

la + vowel + pl of what me wear around necks- Miranda how many letters is this one?

4:05 pm

I will, thanks.

4:05 pm

Don't feel so bad with the last three words. Don't think I've ever seen them before.

4:05 pm

You've shown great tenacity, Kazzer!

4:06 pm

no, you'll just be wearing a collar soon :D

4:06 pm

du6,24?

4:06 pm

4:06 pm

du6/24 - what you must do (that neckwear again)

4:07 pm

Or the first el6,21?

4:07 pm

people should tend to their du**** before playing... but I Babble first, lol

4:07 pm

Ok, that one I should have seen on my own. TY

4:07 pm

el6/21 - el plus a vowel and a picnic pest.

4:07 pm

LOL aloyisius! Speaking of, it's my turn to cook tonight and I need to get started ... bbl to finish the last few

4:07 pm

el + vowel + picnic pest

4:08 pm

thank you Aloyisius!

4:09 pm

yup, what else do you need?

4:09 pm

The first le6,24 and the li6,24?

4:10 pm

li6/24 - often used in terms of a long list (a li6/24 of complaints)

4:10 pm

Little Boomy is not bad at all, le6.24: lower extremity + german for is

4:10 pm

Butli6/24 has church connotations as well.

4:11 pm

Thanks Haz. Good clue

4:11 pm

I'm just thinking that a newly non-smoker could claim not to have li6/24 cigarettes lately.

4:11 pm

Excellent clues. Think I might finish after all. My score should go to you all for rushing me through it.

4:12 pm

You're welcome, mkl.

pu5/14 - look at my icon and replace the m with a p.

4:13 pm

si 5.14: light a candle, hold a v****; substitute

4:14 pm

ta6/18 - french waist - ta plus sick then a vowel. And plural for the ta7

4:14 pm

Great clues, everyone, thanks!

A whopping 182 left to go. Got 49 this morning before a had to get a life. :)

4:38 pm

Hi Aloyisius

4:38 pm

Dont' worry mom - I have been on this for ages and have slowed to a definite crawl.

4:38 pm

well, you have over 7 hours left if you can Babble without interruptions

4:39 pm

I think a lot of us have to squeeze Babble into LIFE... and it is really a challenge at times... couldn't do it over the holidays with a full house

4:39 pm

OK I concede - any clues for the du8?

4:40 pm

Du8 the biggest du4

4:40 pm

I still have to do the things I usually do during the day on Fridays.

4:40 pm

funny word, granny: the most unstylish person you can imagine

4:41 pm

I agree Aloyisius. Always try to make it at least half way.

4:41 pm

ty Aloy. I've been monkeying for ages. Got another gray hair (or two) over that one!!

4:42 pm

The du8 is how I feel when I look in some shop mirrors. Are they deliberately unflattering?

4:43 pm

Oh by the way....hi all. I'm home.

4:44 pm

any clue for the il6?

4:44 pm

il6 is the most sick you can be.

4:44 pm

NU7? please.

4:47 pm

4:52 pm

fireworks, finally... and a bunch of email I have ignored. Happy Babbling, all.. see you tomorrow!

4:52 pm

Well done Aloy!

4:53 pm

I'm going to head off as well, so I'll say good evening/morning/night as appropriate.

4:53 pm

are you done, Haz? Thanks for your great clues, btw.. I love your clues.

4:53 pm

Haz, what kind of word is that? TY. Never in my lifetime would I have found that.

4:53 pm

Hi/bye haz & alo ..

Yes, I finished eariier on, Aloy - glad you find the clues helpful! And bye torgone (you've been quiet...)

{{{Jill}}} how's kitty today?

5:58 pm

Hi Stidmama

5:58 pm

Hi stid!

5:58 pm

Hi Stid!

5:58 pm

le 5/14: shortened form for allowed by law (sorta). Hiya, stid.

5:59 pm

what the heck -- spaghetti it is! *wicked grin* some of our best friends think it's the only thing I know how to cook... LOL

5:59 pm

Thank ye Gail!

5:59 pm

stid -- kitty's ok -- blood test was inconclusively borderline -- retest in 6 weeks

5:59 pm

well -- that's not "bad" news at least! *sending healthy vibes to kitty*

5:59 pm

G'd evening stid

5:59 pm

Thanks Gail

5:59 pm

that sounds pretty darn good to me, stid!

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

Okay, I will sheepishly ask for the first le 6/24....

6:00 pm

I want to get to halfway before I grab the list... that's ten more words. *furrows brow and rust falls out of ears*

6:00 pm

gail - a possible diagnosis of a parathyroid tumour which would be very bad news

6:01 pm

Sorry LoriP, not one that I have

6:01 pm

le 6/24: an appendage + superlative ending.

6:01 pm

No worries Mom, all will be revealed sooner or later. :)

6:01 pm

Stid, that is better than Gail's brain damage from banging her head against the wall for weeks now.

6:01 pm

le + gi4/6

6:02 pm

Thanks Gail and Jillibus

6:02 pm

Wow. Thank ye. ANother, other new word for me.

6:02 pm

haha scrabbler!

6:02 pm

parathyroid... i've had cats with benign regular thyroid tumors.

6:03 pm

IMHO this grid has too many new "words"

6:03 pm

*grin* did that MONTHS ago, Scrabbler, you see now a mere reflection of my former self...

6:03 pm

had one cat treated with radioactive iodine.

6:03 pm

parathyroid upsets calcium balance and send all systems into a tizzy

6:03 pm

Oh, so now the rust pours out?

6:04 pm

not at all like thyroid

6:04 pm

yep. see why I always test as anemic? It's cause I keep losing iron through my ears when the cogs try to turn!

6:04 pm

so, what did they lead you to expect, jill?

6:04 pm

Fascinating medical condition, Stid!

6:05 pm

the cat gradually gets sick and sicker and sicker until the kindest day comes when s/he is put to gentle sleep. Surgery is not recommended.

can I get the ag6 after the plural pretty rocks?

6:06 pm

poor kitty! *determined look* but she doesn't have the diagnosis yet, so no long face! *hands out chocolates as emphasis*

6:06 pm

I am looking for that too, GT

6:06 pm

more purrs from kitty and person

6:06 pm

no surgery 'cuz the parathyroid is even smaller than the thyroid. that i understand. i'm so sorry, jill. Will hope for the best.

6:06 pm

It's not "agile"!

lol nope

6:06 pm

no it is not

6:07 pm

I have tried and tried and tried

6:07 pm

ag6 after the pretty thing -- add a consonant as the third letter and pl of the 7

6:07 pm

I don't have it either :(

6:07 pm

halfway! *gratefully heading to list*

6:07 pm

Have you been trying, musicmom?

6:07 pm

pl for the 7

6:07 pm

for the ag 6 put a consonant in front of the voel of the pretty rock

6:08 pm

YES <hehe> scrabbler

6:08 pm

ag + short form of a man's name

6:08 pm

I don't have the pretty rock either

6:08 pm

TY TY Jill!

6:08 pm

WHOOHOOOO thanks Jilli

6:08 pm

a + garden doorway

ty ty ty all

6:09 pm

yw!

6:09 pm

The vodka I just poured has killed my typing...

6:09 pm

thanks gail! :-)

6:09 pm

Ooooh, Lori, did it ruin the keyboard?

6:09 pm

yw. i just looked at the list of ST words. ACK! lol.

6:09 pm

ah, Lori -- another vodka fan -- be with you in an hour or so

6:09 pm

Thank you Jillibus

6:10 pm

yw mom

6:10 pm

LOL Scrabbler, my keyboard is fine, but I fear for my brain. Though truth be told I feared for that before I poured the drink. :)

6:11 pm

would you like some freshly squeezed lime in that vodka, lori? my neighbor gave me a huge bag of limes, off his tree!

6:11 pm

68 left -- just hitting the se words...I have none so far!

6:11 pm

the limes are off his tree. i can't really say if HE is. lol.

6:11 pm

That would be lovely gail. Very thoughtful. :)

6:11 pm

GOOOOOO Jill!

6:11 pm

I have 56 left - I'm playing hit or miss with the whole list

6:12 pm

GOOOO MM! 83 for me

6:12 pm

the na 4 please, not what I do to the hub... :)

6:12 pm

that's what i did, musicmom. now i'm going through, alphabetically, and trying to complete each letter group.

6:13 pm

Gail, we had a lime tree when I was little! I loved it! mother hated it because it stained everything brownish-black -- or was it blackish brown?

6:13 pm

me too

6:13 pm

stained...?

6:13 pm

I am SOOOO out of practice. I have got to do this more consistently.

6:13 pm

na4 is that vowelly greek temple or something -- a regular babblet

6:14 pm

my problem has been figuring out what to do will so many limes. one can only drink so much gin/tonic! LOL

6:14 pm

not stained -- doing hit or miss at first, then alphabetically filling in

6:14 pm

Thank ye Jilli. I should have known that. :(

6:14 pm

i think i'll probably end up squeezing the juice into ice cube trays and freezing it all for later use.

6:15 pm

Yum I wish I lived closer - I would take them. Love them in my tea, marinade chicken with them, make pie (or can you only do that with key lime?)

6:15 pm

great idea, gail!

6:15 pm

Good idea, Gail.

6:15 pm

i think you can make non keylime pie,if you want. but then, what the heck do i do with an entire pie? i know, i know: bring it here to share!

lime marmalade is good. lime and lemon marmalade is better

6:16 pm

right! Share here -- or freeze it too?

6:17 pm

i found some recipes... one for a lo-cal guacamole that sounds pretty good.

6:18 pm

haha! I am at 100 -- I'll take some limes, the boys and I LOVE limeade!

6:18 pm

and off to start the sauce for the spaghetti... back soon as I can!

6:18 pm

I am practically a nun, Lori, so I do not get that clue at all.

6:33 pm

The naughty clue didn't work for me -- I'm too sweet and innocent (but really, had never heard of it)

6:34 pm

j+ credo, belief, scrabbler

6:34 pm

OK, I monkeyed it.

6:34 pm

nuns are supposed to know their catechi**

6:34 pm

Totally new word for me!

6:35 pm

I'd lose us our family rating if I clued the way my brain slips pulleys sometimes. :)

6:35 pm

My nickname truly is "Sister Mary Pediatrica"---I am a pediatrician AND a nun. My friend and I made a hilarious video last summer with me dressed as a nun.

6:35 pm

pu 5/14 please?

6:35 pm

now for the si words...

6:36 pm

I just can't come up with the last te4/4 Help someone please

6:36 pm

LOLOL, scrabbler.

6:36 pm

don't ask, don't _____

6:37 pm

p + employs for some purpose

6:37 pm

LOL Scrabbler

6:37 pm

During filming at a public park I got LOTS of funny looks. One couple had just gotten married and they wanted their picture taken with me! I did it--true story!

6:37 pm

can i ask you something, then, scrabbler? you mentioned in the past that you do pastoral work, and I saw in your profile once that you earned your pastoral degree

6:37 pm

Oops. Thanks

6:37 pm

Yes, I really do that--just published an article about it too.

6:37 pm

as a nun, wouldn't you have the necessary background?

6:38 pm

I studied at the local seminary.

6:38 pm

maybe, though, it's none of my business, so you needn't answer

6:38 pm

*sneaking in and sitting at Sr. Cousin Mary Scrabbler's feet*

6:38 pm

LOL, Stid--family secrest are coming out!

6:38 pm

*hoping some of the goodness will rub off...*

6:38 pm

Ack! That took me forever. Thank ye all for the pu.

6:38 pm

Background for what, Pam?

6:39 pm

being a pastoral counselor

6:39 pm

*grin* a whole passel of nuns couldn't fix me in grade school...

6:40 pm

la6/27?

6:40 pm

Yes, I got a degree in Pastoral Studies and I volunteer at the local cancer institute. It is my most recent passion. The Pope won't let me be a priest yet.

6:41 pm

That's because the pope is a dween

6:41 pm

*dweeb

6:41 pm

but just taking vows doesn't give a person the tools they need to be effective clinical or pastoral counselors -- there are so many things to know!

6:41 pm

I guess I wondered at the additional degree, but then, being a nun and a doc doesn't necessarily mean you have the social work type skills for counseling

6:41 pm

ti5/10 please

6:41 pm

Boy, for some reason the words in this grid are like pulling hens teeth.

6:42 pm

stid, i was just pondering that

6:42 pm

Yes, Stid!

6:42 pm

la =+the retile an i**a**

6:42 pm

Hi, everyone--interesting conversation, Scrabble--I'm doing CLinical Pastoral Ed at U of Colorado Hospitals--will be ordained in June, as many on the list already know.

6:42 pm

Betty-plural of the ti4 before it?

6:43 pm

hi, mir

6:43 pm

I wanted to get the training in theology and ministry

6:43 pm

Hi, Pam--

6:43 pm

Supercool, Miranda!

6:43 pm

Thanks Eva. I must be tired as I'm missing the easy ones.

6:43 pm

it is cool

6:43 pm

yw

6:43 pm

hiya all. sigh, too big a grid for me to start now.

6:43 pm

I am so much of anemotional barometer that I do not thinnk I could do it...

6:44 pm

Thanks--I've actually just started CPE with a Rabbi and a Methodist minister, both women.

6:44 pm

{{{feather}}} It's only a quarter of ten.... *wicked grin*

6:44 pm

baaahhhh, wrong way stid! it's quarter of 8 here

6:44 pm

hi miranda and feather

6:44 pm

I know what you mean, Pam

6:44 pm

I am thinking about what to do next--Master's in Pastoral Ministry, Chaplain training...and I have actually considered leaving the catholic Church to be an Episcopal Priest---cool info Miranda!

6:45 pm

We could talk if you like, Scrabbler--

6:45 pm

and baaaahhhhhh, you won't sucker me in, so don't waste your breath! i know my limits now! i need to do a blog post later, and can't do that and the grid. not when i'll be in bed around 10 or 10:30

6:45 pm

HI everyone

6:45 pm

Hey there stid, do any baking lately?

6:45 pm

Hi peri

6:46 pm

mmmmmm baking...... *sniffs the air hungrily*

6:46 pm

hi again peri

6:46 pm

Hi peri

6:46 pm

At the risk of preaching to the choir, scrabbler you are precisely the example of how the Catholic Church has not embraced the changing times

6:46 pm

*sigh* no peri -- by the time Tom got home yesterday I was wiped! have peeled the apples for tonight though -- so no excuses!

6:46 pm

You have so much to offer and if your calling is in the Catholic faith, it is a shame

6:46 pm

Hi Peri-I did. Made fudge brownies with walnuts, fudge brownies with cheese cake topping and cannoli this morning, to take down to the community store.

6:47 pm

Miranda--e-mail me. Have you read any of Zeni Fox's books? She spoke at our graduation last May, and WOW, she is smart! She is a PhD in Theology at Seton Hall Univ.

6:47 pm

*sits on hands so won't tempt feather* I like your blog posts!

6:47 pm

I really don't mean to sound like I am bashing anyone's beliefs, I just don't get it

6:47 pm

lol, glad someone does! i'm trying to think of something interesting for tonight. either it's going to be about a good photography info site, or tasha tudor's illustrations...not sure yet.

6:48 pm

stid, I made the Apple Crustada today and shared with some of my babble friends earlier.

6:48 pm

*jumping up and down* tasha tudor! tasha tudor! she's my absolute role model!

6:48 pm

Yes, Pam, I know. One of my priest profs predicts that in 20-30 yrs women will be permitted to become deacons in the cath Church, and, perhaps, in 100 yrs a pope will embrace women as priests.

6:48 pm

I have all the ingredients for the Almond Cake but not going to make it for a while.

6:48 pm

lol! i'll see what i can do for ya then! i'll save the photog for tomorrow

6:49 pm

mmmmmmm *considering moving closer to where peri lives*

6:49 pm

hmmm. apple crostada... almond cake... peri you are wreaking havoc with my diet!

6:49 pm

Tasha Tudor! I love her!

6:49 pm

I hope he is right, Scrabbler

6:49 pm

I will, Scrabbler, this weekend--if that's okay. I haven't read Zeni Fox, but will go to Amazon now. Pam--you make a good point--like Andrew Sullivan--gay and adamant about remaining Catholic.

6:49 pm

hi pam, stid, scrabbler, feather and anyone else

6:49 pm

How about a woman Pope?

6:49 pm

stidmama, you are welcome to come visit anytime!

6:49 pm

oooh-just got the mu7.44! Cool word!

6:50 pm

ok, the people have spoken, tasha tudor it is! i'll see what i can come up with after daniel's bath. look for the post around 8:30ish, eastern. might be longer, depending on how in depth i go.

6:50 pm

But it's very difficult to leave a church that has been home, and harder still I think to explain to the family why you're leaving -- how _your_ faith remains the same but isn't reflected in the actions and rules of the church.

6:50 pm

I am not Catholic, but I do agree with Andrew Sullivan

6:50 pm

I knowit is hard to leave, and harder for some to stay

6:50 pm

Miranda--for Christmas one of my sisters gave me Fox's book"Called and Chosen" about the role of lay ministers. I haven't started it yet.

6:51 pm

hi everybody

6:51 pm

hi ping

6:51 pm

hi Ping!

6:51 pm

Hi Ping

6:51 pm

hi Ping

6:51 pm

hi Ping

6:51 pm

gotta go, daniel's done with his bath. hi ping! i emailed you!

6:51 pm

HI Ping!

6:51 pm

later feather!

6:52 pm

I have a hard time, though, with the second class status of women in the Catholic Church and Orthodox Judaism. It does not represent my world view, and I believe it does great harm

6:52 pm

By feather. Hi ping

6:52 pm

I have written him, Pam, because he is so articulate about being Catholic and gay. Stid--you're so right--we are a mixed Catholic, Buddhist, Episcopal, family. MAkes it interesting.

6:52 pm

Is my question at 6:49 considered too ridiculous to consider?

6:52 pm

Hi, Ping and Peri

6:52 pm

Anyway, this topic started with me asking for a clue for ji4,10! LOL.

6:52 pm

hi peri, eva, jill, stid, scrabbler, lori, pam, and feather

6:52 pm

I'll find the book, Scrabble

6:52 pm

in which millenium jilli?

6:52 pm

hope i didn't miss anyone

6:53 pm

hi, dorens

6:53 pm

I mean Scrabbler!

6:53 pm

exactly, dorens

6:53 pm

you missed me... but I'm the forgiving type

6:53 pm

buddism makes it all so much easier....

6:53 pm

Hi pam and anyone else I missed

6:53 pm

pope joan, jilli

6:53 pm

i assume that you got your clue there, scrabbler?

6:53 pm

Jill -- not ridiculous at all! except very unlikely. the Catholic church, rather than continuing the process of modernizing seems intent on becoming more and more feudal

6:53 pm

right -- there was one -- I forgot

6:53 pm

{{{DORENS}}}

6:53 pm

Pope Scrabbler I---has a nice ring!

6:54 pm

you didn

6:54 pm

why have a Pope at all?

6:54 pm

can i have an LA 5 clue please?

6:54 pm

you didnt see me, since I was behind the wall listening

6:54 pm

Pope joan was an excellent book - they are making it into a movie

6:54 pm

Perhaps Babble would become one of the sacraments????

6:54 pm

My son has embraced Buddhism and is a lot happier for it

6:54 pm

The church has a way of circling the wagons in the face of change, so another female pope might be a long way away

6:54 pm

Yes, Doren--I monkeyed that and am trying to erase the slang definition from my grey matter.

6:54 pm

((stid)) ... Hi Inge! is this where everyone hangs out on Friday nights?

6:55 pm

jilli... it makes many many things easier

6:55 pm

Hi to all those people who greeted Ping and Dorens

6:55 pm

*pounce* inge!

6:55 pm

hi Inge!

6:55 pm

hi, inge

6:55 pm

Buddhism is definitely a good answer .. much happiness to be found there...

6:55 pm

I've heard the Dali Lama speak--and have his books.

6:55 pm

Yes, Eva--why do we NEED a Pope?

6:55 pm

and it's the only "religion" that doesn't require you to give up anything else. You can be christian and buddist or whatever and buddist

6:55 pm

stid, you weren't here yesterday?!

6:55 pm

Inge -- someone thought your name rhymed with "hinge"

6:56 pm

wasn't I? I think really early in the day -- kate came on before I left

6:56 pm

except the "whatever" usually doesn't allow the "and buddhist" part!

6:56 pm

well, the Tiger baseball player's name (INge) does, mine doesnt , so there

6:56 pm

yeah that's kinda the sad part isn't it?

6:56 pm

haven't seen kate iin quite a while... she's ok, right?

6:57 pm

dorens, she was saying earlier today she's doign better

6:57 pm

se5/12 please

6:57 pm

Kate was on this AM and is feeling better now that James has moved out. She is cleaning up the house.

6:57 pm

63 left and quickly running out of steam as I woke up a 4am this morning.

6:57 pm

she has found some resources she can access right now, and is doing what she needs to for herself and her children. Things are looking better.

6:58 pm

Oh that's good to hear. guess it will be a while before she can get back to canada?can i have an LA 5 clue please?

6:58 pm

oh Eva! why so early? are you well?

6:58 pm

I was impressed how BabbleScrabble counseled her

6:58 pm

Ask my brain stid! It just does that a lot.

6:58 pm

You must be exhausted Eva!

6:58 pm

se5/12 = se + that j*** (j4/10) - lol

6:58 pm

things always do look better.... it just takes time...which we all know cause we've been around

6:58 pm

So good night all. See you tomorrow.

6:58 pm

Babble Rabble is quite wise, I have noticed.

6:59 pm

Sweet dreams, Eva!

6:59 pm

sweet dreams and see you tomorrow, Eva!

6:59 pm

yes, and when he first joined I was horrified by his icon

6:59 pm

Thanks jillibus

6:59 pm

G'night eva.

6:59 pm

6:59 pm

happy hour time for me -- brb

6:59 pm

He has softened up quite a bit.

7:00 pm

BabbleRabble is nice enough... I like the poem he had in his profile yesterday.

7:00 pm

this is the third time i am asking.... (i'm sure no one noticed before) for la clues, please

7:01 pm

7:01 pm

He has lots of neat quotes in his profile.

7:01 pm

7:01 pm

7:34 pm

el6,21 pls

7:34 pm

what do you mean Douglas?

7:34 pm

The reason I ask is because "We're pregnant" is a banished phrase. It would be ok to say "We're expecting," but the man doesn't have morning sickness and labor

7:35 pm

hi cliffopa! the chat is moving so very fast today... I don't have that one yet.

7:35 pm

du 8 is more of the du word where your trash goes

7:35 pm

There was a combined name in Doonesbury, where the slacker acolyte Zipper was contemplating a compound name with him and Alex Doonesbury. (Alex is Mike Doonesbury's daughter, now a freshman at MIT). So when a compound name is in Doonesbury, you know it's time to bury the entire concept...

11:18 pm

Erda, plural cats minus a consonant from the middle.

11:20 pm

thats too many letters o2ba

11:20 pm

the 2 kinds of cats I can think of don't work...

11:21 pm

you're right, anike, take out the plural

11:21 pm

Never mind; GOT IT!!!!!

it goes something like this: started my marinating chicken breasts in grapeseed oil (with some sesame oil for great flavor) rice vinigar, some green chilis, and paprika...puree a can of coconut milk, so fresh ginger, as many hazel nuts as you can muster ( ididn't have to terribly many as it turns out) about 1/2 cup, or so... a touch of honey lime juice, coriander, cardamom, and cumin. I ended up cooking the chicken still in the marinade at a low heat (about 225 or 250) until it was part way done... then took it to the pan with a touch of sesame oil and soy sauce... shredded the chicken gave it a healthy dose of cayenne, and sauteed it with garlic and black pepper. mixed in the coconut hazelnut sauce and cooking over a medium low heat until the sauce had thickened to coat the chicken very nicely, garnished with a slash of lime juice and fresh cilantro, and put it over a rice that had been seasoned with coriander, pepper, and tumeric

11:22 pm

I'm going to get my new icon -- Jan 6 is Epiphany all right but thee are other names, like Little Christmas...

11:50 pm
