12:53 am

tried the japanese immigrants but no go

12:54 am

very much agree, nan - no fun

12:54 am

nan, just google japanese immigrants definition

12:58 am

neither did i...just monkey the letters beginning with is and ending by the letter to plural

12:59 am

aw come on, nan, what's foreign?

12:59 am

hodag said a wooord (as part of another word)

3:22 am

3:23 am

I had a feeling you would catch that...lol

3:24 am

Fred is looking for a fluffy hen to play with....lol

3:24 am

tkshodag

3:25 am

Oh Freddie goes in the coop with his chicks and the pheasants. We keep a light on in there to put off a little heat for them.

3:25 am

that sounds nice and co***

3:26 am

Your right Flask,when they all come I say here comes Fred and his chicks.

3:26 am

nice and what?...Fran....lolol

3:26 am

Good morning all. You know you've been babbling too long when the first word you see is sr4/4.

3:27 am

sr???..omg..

3:27 am

Someone asked me what kind of rooster he was and I said.......horney!!!

3:27 am

hi haz! i never miss that one anymore either!

3:27 am

and youre right...*sigh*

3:27 am

haz, but did you see the ts6?

3:28 am

hi Haz

3:28 am

I've literally just started!

3:28 am

Hi Haz - yep, one of the first ones I got too - I even found ro6.21 & 7.32 as well

3:29 am

thanks lynxxx!

3:39 am

Flask,how is that good looking son of yours doing?

3:41 am

Still gorgeous Hodag......however, am still seeking a wife for him....lolol

3:42 am

a clue please for SO9?

3:42 am

flask i have a beautiful daughter...how old is your son??

3:43 am

He's 28 Rolin.....29 next month

3:43 am

I sure wish I had a single daughter,I bet he is as sweet as he is cute!...lol

3:43 am

flask, don't have it yet, how many points is it?

3:43 am

54 Fran

3:44 am

so7.28 & 9.54 look like a disease - I think there is a c***** of the liver - sounds like that

3:44 am

Yes Hodag, he is...when he's asleep!!!...lolol

3:44 am

Flask when is his birthday my youngest daughter will be 30 on Feb.17th.

3:44 am

perfect!!...my daughter is 27...

3:45 am

so9 - to do with sisterhood?

3:45 am

Wonderful Rolin....!!

3:46 am

is he in scotland too?

3:46 am

got them, thanks lynxxx and haz!

3:46 am

Feb 20th Hodag!

3:46 am

yes....just 10 miles north of the broder

3:46 am

so9 - first four letters to do with sisters, (opposite of fraternity) then the remaining letters look like plural female siblings, but shortened.

3:46 am

hmm...could make commuting from london a tad difficult..lol

3:47 am

my youngest grandaughter will be two on the 21st.....

3:47 am

so7/28 is the singular

3:48 am

don't understand the sisters part Haz!

3:49 am

Oh Rolin......true love knows no bounds....lolol

3:49 am

its true... i managed to cross 17K km for it..

3:49 am

I wish we could have one BIG party!!!!lol

3:50 am

would be great Hodag!

3:50 am

Flask - it's based on the latin for sister. Have you heard of fraternity houses in the States, the opposite is what you're looking for. It sounds like a word for sadness.

3:51 am

flask, lynxxx' clued helped me too, sounds like disease of the liver although the spelling is different

3:52 am

so7/28 - Rearrange the letters of the australian jumpers, (minus kanga) then add a shortened female sibling. The so9 is the plural.

3:53 am

i have ar8, does anyone know what the other 8s start with?

3:55 am

The last one I have (se4/4) rearranges the letters of the observed se4/4

4:11 am

or8 begins with the letters of where fruit is grown

4:12 am

And ends with the last four letters of the so9/54 word

4:13 am

thanks haz!

4:13 am

And I have one of those in the garden - thnx Haz

4:13 am

You're welcome, Fran.

Unplural it too fran

4:14 am

thanks i did that, i meant i have orinoco flow in my head!

4:15 am

What shall we sing instead? But it sort of goes with today's theme

4:15 am

Or - What shall we do with the drunken sailor? There's an apt song

4:15 am

oh there, that's better

4:15 am

Quite an assembly of words I will never use, lest to confuse

4:15 am

Or, in view of Hodag's daughter and Flask's son 'My bonny lies over the ocean'

4:16 am

I quite agree babble.

4:16 am

whos drunk?

4:16 am

that's a good one too haz! lol

4:16 am

Haven't heard that song for ages Haz.

4:16 am

Nice one Haz....lolol

4:16 am

Are we all singing along and swaying?

4:17 am

Nobody sings those songs anymore. Shenandoah was another favourite when I was young.

4:17 am

can I have a clue for the AR8 please?

4:17 am

ar8/50 - combine an architectural feature with the monster of the Loch

4:17 am

oh susanah; clementine

4:18 am

Yes, yes babble.

4:18 am

Ang - there's yet another government initiative here to get children singing again. A new song book has been issued with 30 songs, but don't know what they are.

4:18 am

thanks Haz....that was easy....lol

4:18 am

tennessee waltz

4:18 am

'Things can only get better' might feature....

4:18 am

i can see the "little rascals" kid singing oh susanah

4:19 am

Our kids sing - but like it's Abba and stuff LOL

4:19 am

way down yonder in the papaw patch

4:19 am

Or - those funny dressed up men - YMCA - these are songs in school!!!!

4:19 am

i love the tennessee waltz! my mom had all kinds of old country songs on vinyl

4:19 am

I looove Tennessee Waltz! I used to sing it to my daughter when she was being fractious as a baby...its just beautiful

4:20 am

Nice rendition to Tennesse Waltz - Tom Jones and the Chieftains

4:20 am

4:20 am

ta AGAIN HAZ

4:20 am

"i was dancing with my darling to the tennessee waltz, when an old friend i happened to see."

4:20 am

You're welcome, diem.

4:21 am

"i introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancing, my friend stole my sweetheart from me"

4:21 am

The Chieftains can give Tom Jones a run for his money with their looks.

4:22 am

They are brilliant musicians, but can you see the looks on the faces of the judges if they turned up for any of these 'reality' talent shows?

4:22 am

Haha Haz.

4:22 am

sad isn't it haz?

4:23 am

Has anyone got the CD of Long Black Veil by Chieftains - great stuff

4:23 am

I was also fascinated by a recent Paul Simon concert. The musicians were brilliant but they would all have been deemed 'not televisual'.

4:23 am

4:55 am

At least we've been spared film of the event.

4:55 am

itll come..

4:56 am

Indeed, Haz! I wonder if it was unskilled no7/28 or if he had an injury or bone condition?

4:57 am

I would blame the no7/28 - Albert Pierpoint would have been horrified.

4:58 am

ty all for good clue got me three words

4:58 am

It seems a head is 'conscious' for a while after being removed. For more info, go to:http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=4 95

Hi Fran.

wb fran

5:03 am

i was on my way to sudoku and saw that jac is on.

5:03 am

Hello Fran.

5:03 am

hi jac! hi rolin!

5:03 am

hi again haz!

5:04 am

jac, i just received the crete travelogue today, fun reading!

5:04 am

rolin - think of firesetter (ar5/10)

5:04 am

tch..thx haz

5:04 am

i'll send you an email later, but just wanted you to know i got it.

5:04 am

Fran - thanks for letting me know. I'll look forward to hearing from you.:)

5:05 am

Haz - Thanks. I didn't have 'The Prodigy' either.:)

5:05 am

okay, going to sudoku so i can get to sleep already. good night again!

5:05 am

It was fun, wasn't it Fran? Jacula obviously doesn't lie comatose on the beach for two weeks. Well, maybe not the whole time....

5:05 am

'Night, Fran. Happy Sudokuing. (Is that a word??)

5:06 am

Haz - Not any of the time. I'm not really one for sun-bathing. I prefer to sit under a beach umbrella and read a good book.

5:07 am

jac...youre on bable...and wondering if a word is a real word???...lol

5:07 am

rolin - hmmm, yes.... you're right.

5:08 am

We once had the privilege of viewing our neighbours holiday video. 'Here we are on the beach. Here is the waiter coming to take our order. Here we are going in for a bathe.'

5:08 am

oooohh fun times haz..remember the slide show nights??..now its powerpoints

5:08 am

Haz - Oh no! That's worse than 'come and be bored by our 9,000 photos of us in various poses on the beach'. LOL.

5:10 am

It was awful! There should be a law passed that you only show holiday photographs when written permission has been obtained.

5:11 am

I'm sure my Crete thing could have been a lot tighter and would have been if I'd stopped to edit and re-edit. However, I'm a terror for doing that and no one would have got anything if I had done. I'd still be pruning it down!

5:12 am

No, it was fun and educational - you got in local customs, history and the flavour of the place.

5:12 am

Thank you, Haz. That's very nice of you to say so.

5:14 am

I've just discovered native(s) of Napoleon's birthplace (co5/12 and co6/21)

5:14 am

Don't think I'll have time in 3-4 days to do the same for Amsterdam, but I'll try! At the very least, I want to see the bulb fields, Anne Frank's house, the Van Gogh museum, the 'special' cafes.

5:15 am

When is it you go? And are you flying?

5:15 am

jac all those are fantastic...esp the frank museum...very very emotive

5:15 am

Had the 5, Haz, but not the 6. Thanks.

5:16 am

20th April, Haz., until 23rd. Yes, flying with bmi baby (so hope BA strikes don't affect us).

5:16 am

rolin - Any tips on good places to go would be welcome.

5:17 am

That's good - looks like British Airways are going to get a name for being the worst airline at the minute. They haven't covered themselves in glory recently.

5:17 am

The travel agent said she is going to tell the hotel that 22nd is my 50th birthday. Gawd knows what embarrassing things that will cause!

5:18 am

Zimmer frames, incontinence pads.....

5:18 am

:((

5:19 am

Who knows, maybe FMitch will let the god of love free for the day.

5:19 am

50 words left to find. Time I fed the cats and then did some baking. Christmas cake is finished and the family keep looking hopefully into empty cake tins.

5:20 am

Haz - LOL. P has a tee-shirt I bought him with 'The Love God' printed on it.:))

5:20 am

BBL. Happy Babbling!

5:21 am

Do they do a liitle sniff to remember the good days when there was cake? Have a good day, Jacula, and glad that Paul can stand in for er4/4!

5:22 am

Bye, Jacula!

5:23 am

5:29 am

You've got me there. Maybe some of the more computer savvy folk can help?

5:31 am

5:37 am

5:38 am

5:38 am

5:39 am

Oh dear! You'll really appreciate your fellow-students arriving back.

5:39 am

You'll get sympathy from us, but no warm blankets or soothing drinks.....

5:41 am

virtual haz, virtual warm stuff - best we can do. :-)

5:41 am

haha...well i can't ask for anything more than some good company.

5:43 am

5:58 am

G'd Morning Babblers!

hi lori, hi button

5:59 am

hi WOLVIE

6:00 am

word total is 157

6:00 am

thanks Haz

6:00 am

Good morning folks.

6:00 am

arch

6:00 am

en10/91 - plural of en7/40. The last part, then the architectural feature. The en10 looks like someone doesn't want Archibald to be made shorter.

6:00 am

hi scrabbler

6:00 am

morning SCRABBLER

6:00 am

yes and build on that

6:00 am

Oh dear, as you see, I found the ar4,6

6:01 am

LOL, Lori, yes, you have just 7 more words to find.

6:01 am

i am down to the o's Scabbler, if you are going to help us give a word past there

6:01 am

or 6/24 PLEASE

6:02 am

or8/50 - four letters of the fruit growing area, then same ending as the en8

6:02 am

Sorry, I have only or4,4--the obvious one.

6:02 am

or6/24 - four letters of the fruit growing section, verb form of 'to be'

6:02 am

Hi all again - I am stuck on ros ro 6.18 after flower and ro 6/21 and 7/32 before flower

6:03 am

thanks Haz

6:03 am

ro6/21 - first name of fast tennis server Mr Tanner, or name of Friends character, minus a letter, plus Sir Sebastian, the runner.

6:04 am

ro6/18 - latin plural for small platform

6:04 am

I dont have the en7 to make that 10

6:04 am

(Just realising it's Lord Sebastian. sorry....)

6:04 am

thanks Haz

6:04 am

HAZ, i am slow but i don't get the or 6/24 clue..make it simple for the simple minded

6:05 am

Hey, wurdy, I saw an Il Divo CD in the store Sunday and thought of you.

6:05 am

Have al the 8's thanks Haz

6:05 am

en7 - three letters to finish (said at the completion of a story)then the architectural feature. Make it an adjectival plural for the en10

6:05 am

ty vm Hazel - I am now onto the C - I thought I'd leave then till the end

6:05 am

last plus curved opening wurdy

6:06 am

and the 1o too :), any clue for the 9 yet

6:06 am

So, the word total is 157? Slightly off from my hopes of 15. :)

6:06 am

scrabbler did you give it a listen

6:06 am

or6/24 - think of tropical flowers, sometimes grown in pots, long-lasting flowers. Take a d from it and you have or6

6:06 am

just a bit Lori - 157 is correct. :-)

6:07 am

Lori, you can stop at 15 and we can give you fireworks, it will be easier that way.

6:07 am

so9 is the plural of so7/28 - a club or meeting place for ladies.

6:07 am

good idea scrabbler! that way I have them too.

6:07 am

No, wurdy--just looked it over.

6:07 am

Do we have a concensus then? 15 it is. :)

6:07 am

ahhh you missed out

6:08 am

so7/28 - beginning of latin for sister, last three letters, shortened female sibling

6:08 am

Yes, we should pick our own word total and then celebrate when we achieve that.

6:08 am

Wurdy--it wasn't a store where we could listen, but I will try in another store somewhere

6:08 am

I found yesterdays' grid tough, and I suspect I will feel the same about todays.

6:09 am

We have another bonus storm day here, so the kids are happy, and I'm happy because I get to stay home and Babble.

6:09 am

got the or HAZ, thanks

6:09 am

The boss is excellent about taking time to stay with sick kids, storm days etc.

6:10 am

glad you like the storms - we have none here - but I babble anyway. :-)

6:10 am

Lori - I don't think it's as difficult as yesterday's was. This time we have multiple s instead of f.

6:10 am

that is good news lori. Nice boss

6:10 am

6:10 am

Buttonman, don't forget to plural it (or6 becomes or8)

6:10 am

thanks Haz, got the 9 sound like a skin disease

6:10 am

having trouble with the last three letters part of your clue haz

6:10 am

OK, time to get ready for work. 45 done.

6:10 am

Well Haz, I wouldn't get to Babble until this eve, if it weren't for the storm, and I suspect I'll need all day for this grid. ;(

6:11 am

wurdy - last three letters of the so7? Female sibling is the opposite of your brother, just shorten it.

6:12 am

good job scrabbler!

6:12 am

Off to work Scrabbler? :( See ya' later on.

6:12 am

ok then I am having trouble with the entire word lol

6:12 am

6:12 am

bye SCRABBLER

6:13 am

or 6/18 please

6:13 am

so7 - rearrange the letters of the Australian jumper, minus kanga, then add the shortened female sibling. The bit at the front sounds like a word for sadness

6:14 am

buttonman - your name made my children burst into song

6:14 am

or6/18 - or, a vowel, then your male child

6:14 am

got it feeling dense but got it

6:15 am

It means a prayer (or6/18) and mirrors the structure of a place of confinement for criminals.

Hiya, btw. I'm back for my final 6.

8:28 am

until I run with them

8:28 am

are you sure you're cut out for the grid today?

8:28 am

I am totally stuck. I have tried and tried for the en 10 and can not muddle my way through it. I was told it starts like the en 7, but I cannot find the last three letters. Any clue?

8:29 am

incisive

8:29 am

Merk - try this clue Haz gave earlier - sounds like a call to end shortening of 'Archibalds'.

8:30 am

Or words to that effect.

8:31 am

I'm not getting it.

8:32 am

I am in China. A tech support is trying to fix my internet connection. He turned off my computer and I had my word list copied from Brandy Jack and he deleted it unsaved. I had five words left and had to start it all over. It is way past my bedtime, I have a full morning. I am dying for one crummy word. Do I sound grumpy?

8:32 am

en* (finish) + *** (what metal does in a microwave) + h*** (greets).

8:33 am

A bit, Merk, but it's understandable!

8:33 am

The first 7 letters are like en 7 right? Nothing of that is changed? Why can't I find 3 simple letters?

8:34 am

I Even Sympathise, Merk.;)

8:34 am

jacula -- i *SO* wish i had that button on my keyboard!

8:34 am

merk, those 3 are the plural of the sometimes vowel

8:34 am

merk, the middle part of that word is a geometric form

8:34 am

Hi evan. It enables you to type like a pirate. LOL

8:34 am

merk: the finish of something is the ***, then the dude with the jalopy who's friends with betty and veronica

8:34 am

aye matey. ;)

8:35 am

hey, raelite

8:35 am

g'morning all

8:35 am

merk-the last 4 letters are the hi4/5-the first one

good morning evereyone! I see we hae a 10 letter today.

8:36 am

*MerK. sorry.

merk, try this...think of the word that means plural of chaotic government and then start it with en

8:36 am

smooth - That's what Merk's struggling with at present.

8:36 am

Fireworks, Hallelujah! Thank you, everyone. Sam, your clue did it for me.

lol I'm sure ill get to it sonn enough

hi everyone! : )

8:37 am

Well done, Merk. You can sleep now.

Is the j used at all in any word?

9:42 am

my mother gave me cherry tree hill sock yarn for christmas, so i am using that. Also am doing a candlewick lace shawl, among many other projects

9:42 am

I guess I was thinking of Mr. R. Lee Brown... he was on Soap

9:42 am

how about you

9:42 am

The so/9 is the plural of an interesting word--it means a fruit that is composed of multiple flower and fruiting parts--like pineapples and mulberries. Who says this game isn't educational??

9:43 am

sounds like fun, love that cherry tree yarn

9:43 am

i am really loving it - but probably wouldn't buy it myself - very expensive pair of socks. She actually got me two skeins!!

9:43 am

you learn something new every day

9:43 am

i am making a lace shawl by jane sowerby (should have my head examined)

9:43 am

is it from the new book?

9:44 am

urf.

9:44 am

bye for now

9:44 am

yup pg 54

9:45 am

which one is it? I love that book but haven't been brave enough to start anything yet. I did get a lot of lace yarn for christmas, so I am ready - just haven't worked up the courage yet

9:46 am

Morning, urfshy ..

9:46 am

Hiya Tor

9:46 am

it is an orange color with an oak leaf looking motif. have the center panel done and am now picking up the border. if i drop one more dtitch i will surely slit my wrist LOL

9:47 am

40 c words?!?!?!

9:47 am

i have 37 of 'em

9:47 am

Hugabugs! Long time . .

9:47 am

Yes it has been

9:47 am

All of the biggies today are unusual words--the en/8 is particularly odd. Its the plural of the en/6 which is the Greek word for joining--it's used to refer to the idea that Cyprus should be united with Greece into one country.

9:48 am

i feel your pain. I was making a opera shawl with this beautiful tencel yarn, dropped several stitches and had to rip the whole thing out!!!!!

9:48 am

gets out greek dictionary

9:48 am

i dislike ripping out. LOL i must go and change laundry loads. knit on bethany!!

9:49 am

Torgone, I have to say that c words are my own personal challenge. I think c's have the highest percentage of words that i would or could never use in real life.

9:49 am

you too!

9:49 am

thnx, Annie, Huga, and Bugsy, I stepped out for a minute, and then scrolled down to your clues. tyvm

9:52 am

thanks for the great clues. managed to get four of the biggies. pls could someone help me with the 10 again? taa

9:53 am

babbler, think of your decorative royalty, and replace "mon" with cease

9:54 am

Fireworks!!

9:54 am

jeepers, weird words. anyone have the third 8? ar, en...?

9:55 am

The en/10 plays off the en/7--which is a botanical word referring to things like roots that have their oldest cells at the core. See what I mean about weird words??

9:56 am

wahoo, my last three were ALL "ts" words.. fireworks despite the weirdo words!

9:56 am

congrats, anike...

9:56 am

3??? dang, i just have one

9:56 am

Hurshy, the last one is an or/8. plural of a term referring to the kind of tropical flowers related to the vanilla plant

9:56 am

ok 2

9:57 am

hurshy, I recognized that one, but not the other two

9:57 am

thanks jan

9:58 am

wait, maybe i don't have the one you thought i had, alo

9:58 am

the one I had reminds me of ouches

9:58 am

WTG Aloy

9:58 am

oh, yeah, i have that. it's the pl of one of the others.

9:58 am

t+ wounds

9:59 am

oh, it must be the pl of the ts7.28

9:59 am

I think all three of the ts's are alternate spellings of a Yiddish word. Transliterations are a fertile source of spellig possibilities.

9:59 am

ty, pida1

9:59 am

i need the 7

9:59 am

ah, that makes sense, jan

9:59 am

OK time to crack the teriible c's--I only have 23 left and 14 of them are c's!!!

10:00 am

double vowel after the ts, hurshy

10:00 am

thanks hursh

10:00 am

there we go.

10:01 am

hot dog... anyone need a clue or two before I get on with real life today?

10:01 am

the en 8 pls

10:01 am

Aloyisius - what about the s in the right column?

10:01 am

the left i's

10:02 am

en8 is pl of the en6... do you have that?

10:02 am

no, I don't

10:02 am

start with a flower and its pl, hurshy

10:03 am

those are the upper i's... or do you mean they're similar

10:03 am

then you have japanese immigrants for the weirdo is combo

10:03 am

si 6/18 pls?

10:03 am

en6: en + osm*** is the movement of water down its concentration gradient

10:04 am

ah, thanks

10:05 am

heaven have mercy, I was searching the wrong e

10:05 am

si + ****divarius violin

10:05 am

thanks, aloy

10:05 am

ty Al

10:05 am

glad you got em, raelite...lol, helps to have the right starting letter!

10:06 am

what about that right S that strider asked about?

10:06 am

huh? what about it??

10:07 am

can we have a clue

10:07 am

Can you clue the s in the right column?

10:07 am

oh.. lemme look

10:07 am

Don't have that right hand s, either. I was so sure it had to start sos, but nope...

10:08 am

I think you need an sc from there?

10:08 am

probably, it would have to wrap around and be a pl with the middle s

10:08 am

It's a mineral ..

10:08 am

sc6.24?

10:09 am

geology term, not igneous, but ...

10:09 am

sounds a bit like a cuss word

10:10 am

sedimentary...

10:10 am

um... think think

10:10 am

got it!

10:10 am

Metamorphic isn't there either...

10:10 am

strider... howya doing with that word?

10:10 am

not gneiss either

10:11 am

Isn't the opposite of igneous, aqueous? Still working on it.

10:11 am

lol, that is a pun.... not gneiss

10:11 am

sc + not hers and a consonant

10:11 am

i am so annoyed about so many things today

10:11 am

got it. thks.

10:12 am

not babble things, other things

10:12 am

Finally got it...thanks for the clues!

10:12 am

some days life sucks, hurshy... what's tops on your list?

10:12 am

the weather?

10:12 am

no, not the weather

10:13 am

i have some lovely tutoring going that i do mostly in the evenings, but i want more to do during the day

10:13 am

i live kind of in the sticks so it's hard to find a part time job that isn't very far away

10:13 am

but i've been kind of scouting around, seeing what there might be, esp seeing if i could find at home stuff

10:14 am

and i read this article on MSN about at home jobs, and i followed this link to craigslist

10:14 am

do you get bored?

10:14 am

and there was this ad for an at home typist, so i was like, that would be good (yeah, i get bored)

10:15 am

so i bought the "training materials" and it turns out that what you do is put up ads for at home typists and get other people to email you and you sent them the same training materials...

10:15 am

I dig in the dirt (sand) a lot, weeding and planting.. in fact I'm going to plant the Christmas pointsettias today.. do you enjoy typing?

fireworks!

10:15 am

typing's alright - and it's something i can do. but i was hoping to do something productive and i was so ticked that this was so STUPID.

Work at homes are REALLY hard to find, I got my fair share of scams when I was pregnant with the twins and trying to pull in some income.

Congrats Pappa

10:17 am

the guy refunded my twelve bucks, which i didn't even really care, but it lowers my opinion of the world to know that people are wasting their time filling the world with crap like that.

10:17 am

bravo, smooth_pappa!!!

10:17 am

I would be so ticked too

I've seen commercials for typing up doctors transcripts, never tried it though.

10:17 am

i don't know why it should be hard to find things you can do at home, i'm good with excel and it would work just as well to do things at home and email them in...

10:19 am

but the whole issue is also complicated by some other personal things i have going on. anyway.

10:19 am

well, I have satisfied my babble pallet today, and the clock on the wall says I must scoot.. hurshy, with your talents, i bet you will find something meaningful to work on.. see you tomorrow, babblers!

10:19 am

bye alo

10:19 am

(palate).. heehee

Have you tried maybe sitting a kiddo or two during the day. Some people pay pretty good for that.

10:20 am

urf, i don't like kids. that's why i don't have any.

10:20 am

it's not really about the money, it's more about doing something that doesn't bore me.

10:21 am

morning all, any clues for co5/12 please

Hmmm, I'm stumped then. Unless you want a kitty kenel.

10:21 am

flosey - a dove?

dangit! I should have showered earlier... now my hair's gonna freeze. lol oh well... I've gotta run... see you all later

10:21 am

flosey, which one?

Bye Pappa

10:22 am

i'm ALSO annoyed with a student who has spent several aggravating hours talking with me about whether he should or should not ask this girl to the prom.

10:22 am

sorry, it's the third one

Why?

10:23 am

flosey - as hurshy says, think doves and noise

10:23 am

because he's just going over the same ground over and over and over, and now he's like probably not going to ask her, and i'm like, i was trying to be encouraging, and why did i waste my time

10:23 am

plus he semi-insulted me

I didn't realize you taught high schollers. You're a stronger woman than I am, I could never deal with all those hormones. What's he say?

10:24 am

thanks Minty and hurshy, got it

10:25 am

he said i don't have a sense of normal social boundaries. which is probably true but on top of everything else...

Then why did he even ask you in the first place?

10:26 am

good question!!

10:26 am

Tell him to grow a pair and ask her ..

I ask my Dad for advice all the time, but I don't ever take it... He was just wanting you to tell him what he wanted to hear, you probably didn't!

10:27 am

Then tell him to quit wasting your time ..

10:27 am

i did tor, about a hundred times (though not in those exact words)

10:27 am

afternoon babblers!

10:27 am

hurshy, tutoring should bring in good $ epsecially if you can do it for university athletes - i used to

10:31 am

yeah, i'm not really close enough to a college for that... kind of in the middle of nowhere.

10:31 am

Flosey, it's a homophone for the sc/6 clued a little while ago (the geology clues)

12:01 pm

YAY sugar!

12:01 pm

Congrats sugar!!

12:02 pm

thanks all, bbl to clue

12:02 pm

looks like we're finally getting some wintry weather, stid. :s

12:02 pm

well, she was an Ozarker

12:02 pm

I'm watching the news. I just can't believe how the Big Brother row has escalated.

12:03 pm

still, I never thought that would be the way to spell it

12:03 pm

rightly so, I think

12:03 pm

don't watch it myself - can't stand reality shows, they make me cringe.

12:03 pm

I have got the news on as well Babbler I think they should cancel the show

12:03 pm

babbler, is that the show Germaine Greer was on?

12:04 pm

Channel 4 just issued a statement, which is half-baked, in denial and just pathetic. They ought to step in and intervene. It's their lack of intervention that's escalating the row.

12:04 pm

yes, K.Elisabet

what are they doing? your link doesn't work and i find nothign more than "bullying"

12:04 pm

by Channel 4 refusing to intervene, they're condoning what's going on on the show, which is deeply embarrassing for Britain. It's reflecting badly on us.

12:05 pm

What is happening on that show? I see it mentioned on the BBC website quite a lot but don't know what's up.

12:05 pm

sorry, TO, let me see if I can find a better link for you

12:05 pm

i have to say i'm quite surprised that channel 4 would show those bits. i thought it was edited before showing it. even the 'live' thread on e4 always seemed to have silent bits (when I've been channel surfing in the past)

s'ok - lunch os over -have to go. btw fireworks!

12:06 pm

http://news.google.com/ 4th item down on the right hand side, at the top of the page. 676 related articles.

12:06 pm

Later TO

12:06 pm

YAY TO!!!! later...

12:06 pm

thanks. I'll look at it.

12:06 pm

Denny, I don't think they had any choice. Teh show is heavily edited, and it's true they only show half the story, but if they left this out, what could they show us? How could they explain why Shilpa was crying?

12:08 pm

Wow. that is nasty...

12:09 pm

As I said I dont watch it but the papers showed Leo Sayer walking out and someone else did I think..although nothing to do with this trouble..I still say cancel the show!

12:09 pm

stid, there's subtle racism and overt bullying in the show, coming from 3 girls in particular, directed at a bollywood star. They've singled her out and scapegoated her. They are being deeply b*tchy and nasty towards her. Jermaine Jackson, the Face from the A-Team (Dirk Benedict), and H from Steps have allied themselves with Shilpa, but they haven't stood up for her. Cleo Rocos is trying to act as go between, but she lacks the strength against these ignoramuses.

12:10 pm

from what i can gather on various shows i've watched, a lot of people are angry at the bystanders not standing up for her and just watching in the background. I think they do have achoice babbler - they edit out swearing, so why not the abuse? i have to admit to being quite cynical and think that channel4 are being lacksadaiscal because they want the publicity. after all they have 24 hours of daily tv to use?

12:10 pm

I am disappointed in Benedict if that is true, we went to the same college... though he is MUCH older than I am! I would have expected better from him.

12:10 pm

I agree, Denny. Channel 4 are probably rubbing their hands at this record publicity. It's all money for them. Vile.

12:11 pm

It's still brewing, Stid. Jermaine Jackson is close to blowing, and Dirk (I hope) isnt' far behind. They're trying to keep things together, and be there for Shilpa, without making things worse. That's how it looks to me anyway.

12:11 pm

But the real disappointment is that anyone would treat another human being in that way.

12:11 pm

Im glad H is standing with her..(he is a local boy)

12:12 pm

exactly right, stid. It started from a light-hearted silly show, to one that's got me close to tears.

12:12 pm

H is a credit to you if he's a local boy!

12:12 pm

RO4/5...any clues?

12:12 pm

i think all thepeople who have complained to ofcom and channel 4 should vote with their fingers and switch off from channel 4/e4. the public will have far more power thatn the government. after all, do we really think that charges will be brought against these people?

12:12 pm

liz: the mythical bird?

12:13 pm

H was in the diary room the other day, saying about the divide in the house and how it reminded him of how he was bullied at school. Then he took himself off to the bathroom and cried his eyes out. :(

12:13 pm

TY

12:13 pm

i nee the first co4/5 and the second c0 5/12 please

12:14 pm

apparently, Carphone Warehouse are reviewing their association with the show, Denny. It's worth £3 million.

12:14 pm

is the firs co 4/5 the rug-making material like sisal?

12:15 pm

the 5/12 is probably a plural.... (guessing, I have 90 words but not listing yet)

12:15 pm

Oh I am proud of him then Babbler ..There is quite a lot of racism around here.(catty comments etc)

12:16 pm

stid, i don't know the rug making material word

12:16 pm

i should think so too - they have had enough bad publicity with their talk talk shenanigans. i did hear earlier that Jade goody had been dropped from an anti-bullying campaign. well i could carry on debatig this for ages but kids need their bath. see you all later babblers

12:16 pm

It's everywhere, unfortunately. It's how we deal with it that's important. Some people are cloaking it all under "cultural ignorance", but that's wrong. When Shilpa mentioned something H didn't know, he asked what it was and she explained. That's what normal people do! The catty girls use Shilpa's differences and are nasty about them.

12:16 pm

CO + last two letters of what you breathe, mag

12:17 pm

later Denny!

12:17 pm

hehe, you're not wrong Denny! Laters.

12:17 pm

AR 4/5, not the semicircle one?

12:17 pm

Bye Denny

12:17 pm

it is only when we stand up against the ignorance and prejudice, even when it is small, that it begins to diminish

12:18 pm

liz: the gas station? starts the same, ends with vowel

12:18 pm

exactly right, stid. All it takes is for one person to say "that's wrong!"

12:18 pm

nm got them now

12:18 pm

TY

12:19 pm

I agree stid I have always taught my children (and now grandchildren) We are all Gods children .There is good and bad in every race,creed or colour.

12:20 pm

Thought the 5/10 might lead off it, BUT, any clues for the AR5/10?

12:20 pm

yes caitlyn, very wise. When my children try to paint any person, historical or modern, with a single broad stroke, I remind them that even truly awful people have a spark of light in them; and the ones who seem very good can still make mistakes and be mean.

12:20 pm

12:23 pm

yeah I was wondering that!

12:24 pm

LOL no, it was the docs office checking on stidmatt... he's fine and I sent him to school. Oral surgery doesn't faze him! (hope I spelled that right)

12:24 pm

oh I meant hung up on your caller, not the C x 40, although I hadn't noticed that either

1:42 pm

This, without doubt, is the worst grid I've come across since I began playing -- more words without defs. (made up in my opinion), weird spellings, foreign language etc. I wonder if we asked if Dr. God could switch to a normal dictionary, like Websters!

1:43 pm

I think enable must be one of those websites where anyone can go in and make an entry.

2:28 pm

Have you checked out any freelance writing gigs?

2:29 pm

congrats chiley

2:29 pm

i hope so. they want people with masters degrees, which i have not got, but then, most of the people that seem to do online tutoring are from india, so, i have the advantage of speaking perfectly intelligible english

2:29 pm

thx dippnall, finally got it!

2:29 pm

cause they use skype and stuff

2:30 pm

haven't checked out too much freelance writing stuff

2:31 pm

Sometimes local papers need reviewers or things like that . .

2:32 pm

yeah... the trouble is i'm in such a rural area.

2:32 pm

2:45 pm

Had a phone call ..

2:45 pm

yeah but it's unusual for NOBODY to talk for 10 mins

2:46 pm

Maybe torgone was calling all the others.

2:46 pm

lol

2:46 pm

Is your tongue okay?

2:46 pm

vi did you read what i posted a little down?

2:46 pm

i would chat but it is difficult to do while holding a sleeping kitten in one hand :)

2:47 pm

no, my tongue is burnt. the tip, anyway. overheated my applesauce. :(

2:47 pm

oo5 please

2:47 pm

awwwwwwwwwwwww

2:47 pm

You sent in an application for on-line tutoring? Sounds interesting.

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

of course thanks hurshy

2:48 pm

yes, since i love tutoring. and this site said they urgently need tutors, that they are fast growing and stuff.

2:48 pm

Burnt tongue. Not so good. Best wishes for an early recovery.

2:48 pm

lol, ty vi

2:48 pm

If you talk a lot it heals faster.

2:48 pm

oc5 please

2:48 pm

2:48 pm

jeepers..a 9 and 10 letter word in this one!

2:49 pm

Dunno, but it sounded like a good rationalization.

2:49 pm

oc5 set of 8

2:49 pm

So, is it all ages all subjects, or what?

2:49 pm

i don't think online talking will help though, lol

2:49 pm

thanks thought i tried that combination already

2:50 pm

well, the site is, yes, and then, they see what you are most comfortable tutoring and they have you do that

2:50 pm

my best is obviously HS math but i can do other things if necessary. however, there is probably lots of demand for math anyway.

2:51 pm

last se5/10?

2:51 pm

And you said they do skype and stuff, too. I would think it would be harder than in person, but still cool.

2:51 pm

i can se5 that you need some help with it

2:51 pm

tor - it just doesn't make *****

2:52 pm

yeah. apparently for math help you also need to have a digital pad and pen, so i'll have to get one of those if they hire me.

2:52 pm

You're right, it doesn't . .

2:52 pm

Wow. Isn't technology amazing! :)

2:53 pm

quite!

3:00 pm

I slept in, I tried to print a wood block (but it didn't work very well), I started dinner in the slow cooker, I paid bills and balanced the checkbook, I sorted papers, I ate my lunch, I talked with a friedn on the phone, and not once did anyone cry, whine, interrupt, or ask to have a book read! Wheee!

3:00 pm

oooppps! Sorry. (sheepishly heads for the penalty box)

3:01 pm

Interesting how smaller pops up when certain words are mentioned ..

Come on Alison join the real fun!!

3:09 pm

I have played so much better since I went pro. LOL.

3:09 pm

3:09 pm

(you have the tile and word states for 2 weeks when you register, keep them if you go pro)

3:09 pm

If we're pros, how come no one's paying us to do this?

3:09 pm

Whoopie!..but how do you guys know you need a word so many letters long and the first two letters?

3:10 pm

i want to batten down some hatches!

3:10 pm

Yahooo deb

Well done Debs, I am sure that awful weather will soon be in Surrey too

3:10 pm

Go to lickety's list at the bottom of this page

3:11 pm

or BJ's list on the babbler's anonymous page

3:12 pm

Vicuna--someone should be endorsing us to play Babble. Oxford dictionary, universities, book publishers,...

3:12 pm

3:12 pm

hursh--is that pic from the Princess Bride

3:12 pm

Are these just people who have found the words and want to help?

3:13 pm

well hope everything will be ok for you in the morning Debs

3:13 pm

Lickety created a special program for us, because we are pros.

3:13 pm

no they have programs

3:13 pm

3:13 pm

they told me it was pirate day

3:13 pm

You to - goodnight all

3:14 pm

3:14 pm

Nite Debs

3:14 pm

alisonofwi, you're not my sister by any chance, are you?

3:15 pm

I LOVE that movie--hilarious! Especially the wedding: serious setting and minister, then "Mawage...." I lose it everytime!

3:15 pm

hmm, if you feel like popping over (what, 5, 6 hours?) we can watch it sometime :)

3:16 pm

I have the VHS and bought the DVD when it was on sale--I had to have it.

3:16 pm

3:17 pm

i typed out a complete script myself in high school. sat in front of the tv for 2 days...

3:17 pm

And here I thought you guys were all way smarter than me..

3:17 pm

lol, hurshy. I just bought the book!

3:17 pm

have you read the book?

3:17 pm

alison - sister, or no?

3:17 pm

I don't think I'm your sister..but do you need one?

3:18 pm

i read the book AND i sent off for the extra scene

3:18 pm

i have a sister named alison in wisconsin who i have tried to get to play babble, that's all

3:18 pm

Wow--you really like that movie! No, but I saw it recently and it is on my long list of books to read "someday"

3:19 pm

I am actually from wi(nslow) Maine, not from WI, but I did live there as a kid for 3 years!

3:19 pm

ah, oh well. :)

3:20 pm

I sent off for the extra scene, too. But it didn't really exist. :(

3:21 pm

well I have company.Pretty bad when I make them wait to greet them! Thanks for the info..later!

3:21 pm

Bye Alison

3:21 pm

Hursh--have you finished the grid already?

3:21 pm

Yes, I read it. I meant I just simply bought the book, not I just now bought the book.

3:22 pm

it didn't exist per se, but they sent a very funny thing

3:22 pm

yes, finished grid before lunch

3:23 pm

did you get the funny thing explaining why there was no extra scene, vi?

3:23 pm

They did??? No fair! Mine just got returned to sender!

3:24 pm

That's what I figured. 82 to go for me--the ch's were easier than I expected and I am now working on the co's

3:24 pm

hmmm, when did you do it? maybe it's been too many years?

3:24 pm

si5 anyone?

3:25 pm

c's not too bad today

3:25 pm

si5 female sibling, ebonics style

3:25 pm

Well, I did it like 15 or 20 years ago, but maybe it was already too late then. :(

3:25 pm

well no cause clearly i sent mine later than that.

3:25 pm

NO FAIR!

3:26 pm

I am not good at ebonics--help please

3:26 pm

not brother but

3:27 pm

i'll see if i can dig it up - i can't imagine i would have thrown it out but also have no idea where it might be by now

3:27 pm

I know the corrct spelling but am trying to figure out this variation

3:28 pm

The si5 looks like a strange pl of not bros.

3:28 pm

sounds like sixes

3:28 pm

TY Vicuna

3:28 pm

oops sizes

3:29 pm

YW, Scrabbler.

3:29 pm

oh gosh

3:29 pm

i was conflating si5 and si6

3:30 pm

sorry about that folks

3:30 pm

heh heh conflating

3:30 pm

what is funny about conflating?

3:30 pm

conflating is a big word

3:31 pm

oh.

3:31 pm

hurshy had a dictionary for breakfast

3:31 pm

Definition please--I must claim ignorance

3:31 pm

no, i had total cereal. and peach juice.

3:31 pm

We are all guilty of conflatulence at one time or another ..

3:31 pm

bevis and butthead would find it amusing

3:31 pm

conflating means confusing two things by combining elements of each.

3:31 pm

conflatulence, that is

3:32 pm

conflating, same root as inflating

3:32 pm

Oh, like mixing things up.

3:32 pm

I wish I'd had Alpha-bits. Maybe that would help me find words!

3:32 pm

LOL torgone

3:32 pm

in a really stinky way

3:32 pm

it's not quite the same as mixing them up, because, i was sort of merging si5 and si6 (thought there was the word "sista")

3:32 pm

Well, sometimes these grids dysflate me

3:33 pm

But do they deflate you?

hi all - just changed my icon to be the babies - here's the twins!

3:33 pm

They most certainly deflate me.

3:33 pm

beano = deflatulence

3:34 pm

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh so cute

3:34 pm

How are the twins, TNC? And their names?

I'm headed to the school to get my niece to take her to the hospital to see Jackson and Maria.

3:34 pm

tea and crackers, obviously.

3:34 pm

Yup, they look like babies! lol

3:35 pm

No, hursh, those are HER kids. The twins are niece and nephew.

3:35 pm

Or Cappuccino and Biscotti

Maria was first at 8:16 this morning and she weighs 6 lbs 6 oz and is 19 inches long. Jackson arrived one minute later and weighs 6 lb 7 oz and 20 inches long.

3:36 pm

Big for twins--they must have been close to term.

3:36 pm

oh see, i don't pay enough attention. when people talk about babies... i zone out

He was having a bit of trouble breathing this morning, but seems to be doing well. Thanks for sharing with me! She was 37 weeks yesterday.

3:36 pm

3:46 pm

hi ren8, nut, mo, smaller, haz, and others :)

3:46 pm

hi ren and Haz ...yes I do have the en7.

3:46 pm

en7/40, compound word where you find the pot of gold en10 - if you make the en7 end like a stae ruled by a king or queen, and then pl it

3:46 pm

en7 - what you say when the story is finished, followed by a cheeky architectural feature. For the en10, imagine that the en7 has the sometimes vowel attached - plural it. The whole word looks like a campaign to stop shortening Archibald's name.

3:47 pm

great clues on the en words people! thanks!

3:47 pm

add 3 vowels to yhe en7=en10

3:48 pm

Haz thank you ... great clue!

4:03 pm

nod nod nod!!!

4:04 pm

yah what she said!

4:04 pm

Hey, FranMag, I love your info in your bio. It's so nice to know that being born in Cleveland (as I was) does not prevent me from pursuing a life of piracy.

4:04 pm

It's a conspiracy. I'll have to start a campaign to prove my innocence and babble absence.

4:04 pm

lol vicuna!

4:05 pm

rofl haz!

4:05 pm

But until I take to the seas, I must go read a book to my darling tots. bbl

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

You can do it, Vicuna--be a pirate!

4:05 pm

but haz, we believe you...really *fingers crossed behind Frans back*

4:05 pm

bye vicuna!

4:05 pm

bye vicuna

4:05 pm

later vicuna

4:06 pm

Can Spangle testify on my behalf?

4:06 pm

that would work, she has a very honest face.

4:06 pm

4:06 pm

bye Vicuna

4:07 pm

Exactly - and give her enough dog biscuits she'll say or do anything I ask.

4:07 pm

bye Vicuna.

4:07 pm

ch***practor

4:07 pm

Clue for ar8 please?

4:07 pm

a true friend haz! :-)

4:07 pm

The state of being curved

4:07 pm

thanks scrabbler, i needed those too.

4:08 pm

MO, good vibes plus what to do with your boat going up stream minus the w

4:08 pm

ar8 combines an architectural feature with the monster of the loch to give a cheeky characteristic

4:08 pm

Great clues - ty!

4:10 pm

Hi everyone!

4:10 pm

hi peri

4:10 pm

hi peri!

4:10 pm

hola peri!

4:11 pm

hello Peri

4:11 pm

Those last 2 en words (6 and 8) are stupid words.

4:11 pm

thanks forclues for the ch words.

4:11 pm

howdy Peri

4:11 pm

peri welcome.

4:11 pm

I am hypothermic and must get hot tea--anybody want some?

ar 8/ 10 ?

4:12 pm

The en6/18 is a political movement for the union between Cyprus and Greece. What it's doing in enable is anybody's guess.

4:12 pm

Scrabbler, you don't like the union of Greece and Cyprus?

4:12 pm

what's stupid is i found the en7 and en10 on my own, but still missed the first er4/4!

4:12 pm

me please Scrabbler.

4:12 pm

I have been busy making hearts with polymer clay. I have made pendants, pins and magnets. They have turned out pretty well. Unfortunately I do not have a digital camera.

4:13 pm

chancellor - the ar8 was clued just a short while ago if you scroll back in the log.

4:13 pm

peri are those for valentine's day craft fairs?

4:13 pm

It is freckin cold here and the tea sounds wonderful!!

4:14 pm

no but that is an idea Fran, was just going to show them to friends this weekend. Since I don't have a steady job at the moment it is harder. A few years ago I made heart pendants from salt dough and make $70 in a few days. Polymer clay is so much easier to work with.

4:15 pm

I have 2 ts words , a 7 and a 6 but cannot get the other ts6 ... can someone help please?

4:15 pm

The two ts6 words differ only in the last vowels used.

4:15 pm

it looks like a lot of fun peri, have you see "get crafting" (i think that's the name) on HGTV?

4:16 pm

dawger--the en8 is a ridiculously spelled word

4:16 pm

Mo, it's all in the ending. 2nd or 3rd vowel and snake

4:16 pm

Scrabbler, I agree a lot like the en10/91!

4:16 pm

Mo and hodag--here is your hot tea, be careful.

4:17 pm

Haz and lbdawger thank you so much ... that has been bugging me for ages!!

4:17 pm

okay, I'm missing the sc6/24 and one of the sc5/6 combos...I have the total at a game and the angry feeling...can someone help on the others?

4:17 pm

no Fran, I don';t have cable :( but I will try to see it when I am ata my sisters

4:17 pm

hot choc sounds good...brb anyone like a cup while i'm up?

4:17 pm

TY,TY,TY,you are a sweety........lol

4:17 pm

Chocolate? yes!

4:18 pm

Kristi, a bisquit and plural

4:18 pm

sc6/24 - replace the sc with a w and you would have a card game.

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

yum it is warm all the way downnnnnn

4:19 pm

hot chocolate now!! wow ... i shall be running to the loo all night now!!!

4:19 pm

The attention-seeking word sounding like what the snake did...

4:19 pm

aha...found it, thanks :)

4:20 pm

4:20 pm

GO Kristin!

4:20 pm

or6/18 anyone?

4:20 pm

4:20 pm

I still need help with that sc6 clue---card game?

4:20 pm

ar5/10 - call the fire brigade

4:20 pm

I am all done now ... clues anyone?

4:20 pm

peri, lighting a fire on purpose

4:20 pm

when a fire is set by someone

4:21 pm

4:21 pm

duh, thanks Haz

4:21 pm

4:21 pm

4:28 pm

Glad you got there, kristin.

4:28 pm

we believe you Haz honestly.

4:28 pm

4:28 pm

I know, Hazel, I am just acknowledging your presence, once again.

4:28 pm

it's your karma HAZ, it has a lasting impression :-)

4:29 pm

haz, it's because we can't imagine the ch4 log without you!

4:29 pm

You say the nicest things, lbd!

4:29 pm

Yippeeeeeee Kristin!

Well done Kristin

4:31 pm

Here is a biscuit for Hazel--for being such a good girl!

4:32 pm

well done kristin.

4:32 pm

did you get some of your words reentered scrabbler?

4:32 pm

thanks for the help folks!

4:32 pm

Thank you Scrabbler. I'll wash it down with a nice cup of coffee.

4:33 pm

No, I am using the list to guide me, but I haven't re-entered yet---maybe for the S's.

4:33 pm

what about a biscuit for Spangle too?

4:34 pm

okay, just curious how you were faring. I still hate it when that happens to others (and to me)

4:34 pm

Here you go Spangle----nice doggie.

4:34 pm

TY for asking, Kristin. At least it is not a huge grid, otherwise I would have shot myself.

4:34 pm

Spangle is happily asleep at the moment. You know you're a dog owner when your coat pockets are full of poo bags (empty!) and dog biscuits.

4:35 pm

haz, the "empty" made all the difference in that sentence.

4:35 pm

fireworks!!

4:35 pm

lol Haz, oh so true! kinda like when the kids were small, pockets of tissues, pacifiers, purse loaded with diapers etc.

4:35 pm

Congratulations Fran!

4:36 pm

Whoo hoo Frannie!

4:36 pm

good for you haz for being a responsible dog owner (with the poo bags). We're having a real issue with that at my house right now...so yucky!

4:36 pm

hooray fran!

4:36 pm

It's a law of nature that the smaller the infant, the more 'stuff' they need.

4:36 pm

Yahooo Fran!

4:36 pm

congratulations Fran

4:36 pm

thanks everyone!

4:37 pm

It's not the most pleasant task, Kristin, but how on earth can you NOT do it?

4:37 pm

Haz, aint that the truth !

4:37 pm

well, anytime you want to walk in my lawn...you're more than welcome :)

4:38 pm

Thanks kristin!

4:38 pm

The oo word please?

4:38 pm

Haz, my neighbours have two dogs like yours and I look after them occasionally ... they are so lively and adorable.

4:38 pm

Do you have a pooper scooper kristi?

4:38 pm

If it was an ee word it would be scary. (oo5)

4:38 pm

Clue for that darm oo5?

4:39 pm

never mind!

4:39 pm

no...but I'm about to invest in one...or multiple ones and give them to my dog-walking neighbors :)

4:39 pm

TY Haze. ****Scrabbler gives Hazel another biscuit***l

4:39 pm

i'd rather pick up after the dogs in winter...poopsicles are better than the summer paddies!

4:39 pm

They're great, mo, I take great pleasure in Spangle's company.

4:40 pm

okay, I'm going to scoot for the day. Enjoy the grid folks :)

4:40 pm

bye kristin!

4:40 pm

Bye kristin - have a good day.

4:40 pm

Bye Kristin!

4:40 pm

Later Kristi, make your neighbors presents of their dogs leavings!

4:40 pm

Bye Kristin, see you tomorrow

4:40 pm

bye kristin

4:40 pm

Nice pre-dinner image, dawger.

4:40 pm

4:40 pm

4:41 pm

Hi all. Home from work and my babble stuff is gone :( That has never happened to me before. No words...no nuthin'. 157 to go?

4:41 pm

are the so7 and 9 related?

4:42 pm

yes kaurie, 9 is the plural

4:42 pm

The so9 is the plural of so7.

4:42 pm

I lost everything I had entered on lickety's list, but your situation is more grim.

4:42 pm

yes kaurie they are.

4:42 pm

Is it worth going back into work again? No, I thought not.....

4:42 pm

i was hoping maybe i had a chance on 1 or the other, ok, thanks!

4:43 pm

gramma what a shame!!!

4:43 pm

when i lived in AZ, the neighbor's dog came into our yard and did his business all the time. I kindly asked the neighbor to either clean up after his dog or train it to go else where. His comment was, he's trained to poop in my yard. I scooped the presents up and delivered them to his front door. nicely wrapped in plastic mind you.

4:43 pm

It should be there--if you logged on under the same name.

yo people give me some answers

4:44 pm

oh dear gramma...:-(

4:44 pm

And did that cure the problem, lbd?

4:44 pm

What is the question, yellow cookie?

4:44 pm

Maybe I messed up this am.

4:45 pm

Haz, well, i thought we were going to have a poopin contest, but his wife said she'd shoot the dog if she saw it going in my yard again.

4:45 pm

Sounds reasonable.....

4:45 pm

and did she lbd?

4:45 pm

i liked his wife! he on the other hand...

4:46 pm

HI All just back for a chat - managed to finish the grid this morning = had the day of work

4:48 pm

glad to hear the dog survived!

4:49 pm

gramma, did you try refreshing and not touch anything until the screen is fully loaded?

4:49 pm

I quit mine at the end of term in December. Fed up with politics and nonsense.

4:49 pm

I am much better for my day off - hubby and I have had the dratted flu and its after effects which seem mainly to be fatigue and sleeplessness - only splt about 6 hours over the past 3 days

4:50 pm

5:29 pm

stid the so7 and so9 are really odd words

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

5:31 pm

so9 pl of so7

5:31 pm

*Quantum

when do u get a score? when u stop trying to make more words. I signed on last night and i came back tonite and the same board is still here. i got a few more words. but what happens next? and i was only here for a little bit last nite, and when i turned on my computer, the time jumped to 6 hours left!

5:36 pm

frozen but good stidmama! could be worse, could be in south dakota like hubby is

5:36 pm

last sh5/12 and 6/18 please

i think i just found the answer. i guess at midnite tonite, the puzzle closes and scores are posted.

5:37 pm

depends on where you are word, here in Aus it changes at 5pm daily

5:38 pm

ADHD-true, but you can see what your score is at the bottom of your word list. If y9ou mean that you want to see your rank, then you have to wait until the next day.

5:38 pm

sh 5/12 sh + 1st 4 letters of a subject you learn at school and pl

i can see my score thus far, but i guess it closes out tonight at midnite.

then does that mean there will be a brand new puzzle board?

5:39 pm

1pm EST in the US

5:39 pm

yes word

5:39 pm

yes, every 24 hours

do you all have the same board as me?

tx eva

5:39 pm

10 pm PST

then it should've changed this afternoon

and it didn't

1 am est

or is it 1am

5:40 pm

1AM EST here not PM

you all r so nice here. i think i'll pay to stay here

5:40 pm

ADHD-if you look at the bottom of the screen, under the grid, there are a number of links. One of them is babble for dummies (not that you are) which will explain all

5:40 pm

it's midnight central time that the game changes

5:40 pm

central time appears to be the Babble "GMT" as it were

tx somebody said pm lol

5:41 pm

ADHD: also check out angelsongs resourcepages... they are full of helps and ideas! http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/

tx eva... again

5:41 pm

it really is worth the fee...this is the only site I'v found where the fun of the game is helping each other o9ut. I'm the one who said 1pm-sorry-time is not my strong point(-:

FIREWORKS!:)

oops sorry ( :

hey ya'll

7:18 pm

Yay for Jacula!

congrats Jacula!

7:18 pm

Welcome aboard, ADHA and Eyeman.

one more question... what is the point structure?

7:19 pm

hi gramm aka person with a nice car

7:19 pm

its really me mousey

hi mousey aka inge3 ( :

how do you know what each tile is worth?

7:19 pm

Thanks, Judi. Trying to understand "Tile Stats".

how you doing finding words today mousey?

7:19 pm

Thanks peri & grammat1.

7:19 pm

Sounds like inge3 is really an "offspringe".

7:20 pm

SCORING Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word: 4-letter word = 1 x Points 5-letter word = 2 x Points 6-letter word = 3 x Points 7-letter word = 4 x Points 8-letter word = 5 x Points 9-letter word = 6 x Points

the number under the letter adhd

7:20 pm

ar8/50 anyone please

7:20 pm

yep lol sence there was 2 inge`s i thought we needed another

7:20 pm

pretty good gramm

you are clever mousey ( :

7:21 pm

you mean inge

7:21 pm

Never mind. I got it.

builds on the 4/6 bettyanne, add an N4 to it

oh yes pardon me inge3

where do i find how much each tile is worth? on the grid? is that the number on each tile?

7:21 pm

Tile stats are confusing. Means there are (usually) various words that start with a certain letter - such as E. Then the e words are grouped seperately into boxes, such as e words that start with en, er, etc.

yes adhd

7:22 pm

ADHD - You can find the rules by clicking on the 'Help' section above. However, I'll post the info here for you just this once...

7:22 pm

ahhh....both work

7:22 pm

Rules of Play OBJECT To list as many words of the highest point value as you can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid. PLAYING Search the puzzle board for words of four letters or more. When you find a word, add it to your list using the form below the puzzle. Words are formed from adjoining letters. Letters must join in the proper sequence to spell a word. They may join horizontaly, vertically or diagonally to the left, right, up or down. No letter cube, however may be used more than once within a single word. TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary. You may look for any type of word - noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc. Plural nouns are acceptable, as are all verb tenses. Words within words are also allowed. (e.g. revolt and volt) TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary. SCORING AND WINNING Every night at midnight CT, the day's puzzle closes. The high score list for the day will then appear showing everyone's total score. SCORING Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word: 4-letter word = 1 x Points 5-letter word = 2 x Points 6-letter word = 3 x Points 7-letter word = 4 x Points 8-letter word = 5 x Points 9-letter word = 6 x Points Example: Word: BABBLE Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1) Total: 36 pts. The winner is the player who has the highest point total when the puzzle closes. THINGS TO REMEMBER * The same word found in two different areas of the puzzle may not be used. * The "Qu" cube counts as two letters. * Points are awarded for both the singular and plural forms of a noun

7:22 pm

yes. D is worth 2 points, J is worth 6 points, etc

ty Jacula

7:22 pm

i never pay attenion to them

7:22 pm

Thanks grammaterri1

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. I GET IT NOW AND I THINK I MAY HAVE FOUND A NEW GAME TO BE ADDICTED TO BESIDES SCRABULOUS .COM.

Yes, best to ignore tile stats. Good for checking to see if you have all of a particular letter done. Box turns black when you've typed in all the relative words.

thanks again really

7:23 pm

one of us... one of us...one of us...one of us...

7:23 pm

grammat1 - I was looking at your profile earlier. 14 grandchildren! WOW! What happens if they all visit at once?

7:24 pm

7:35 pm

Hard to explain, Jacula. However, I think my ears moved.

7:35 pm

ahh, thanks Feather.

the word or that I got it lol

7:36 pm

en8 = the plural of en6/18 before it. It actually refers to the union of Greece & Cyprus but sounds more like an illness ending.

7:37 pm

Judi - ROFLOL.

Don't do it then, Judi.

7:38 pm

my eardrums are bleeding so far. there has been one good one. and the rest painful or interesting.

aren't grandkids the greatest reward for surviving our kids lbd? yours is adorable too!

7:39 pm

brain implosions are quite messy so are explosions

7:39 pm

grands are great paybacks! lol

7:39 pm

Their eardrums were bleeding in the episode of Stargate Atlantis I watched earlier. That was due to whale song though.

7:39 pm

Constant displays of public humiliation bore me (after a while).

amen lbd

7:46 pm

BettyAnne - if you want to learn something at college or work, you might go on a cou***. Remove the middle vowel.

7:46 pm

co5.12 rhymes with grown up pony without the u

7:47 pm

Duh! I tried everything. Thanks lbdawger.

7:47 pm

eh, wait a sec, no u in that word! lol i think i need chocolate!

7:47 pm

Betty - that leads you to the next word, which is its plural.

7:48 pm

Got it. Thanks Jacula.

7:48 pm

lbd - it's a very old word for a dead body.

7:48 pm

y/w - Betty.

7:48 pm

hey jac, how'd you know i just went to look it up?

7:49 pm

st 6/24 pls

7:50 pm

never mind

7:50 pm

lbd - study of Shakespeare, Old English & Latin teaches you a lot of weird words.

7:50 pm

babbling teaches a lot of weird words too

7:51 pm

True!

7:52 pm

As for the words I was just one about, you don't always even know you have them in the 'filing cabinets' of your brain until you see them in a grid.

7:52 pm

You just think, THAT'S A WORD. Then, 'What the B/hell does it mean?'

7:53 pm

yup, i know what you mean Jac. happens to me more times than i'd like to admit

7:53 pm

There you go then, lbd!:)

7:53 pm

arggg! sr4/4?

7:54 pm

sr+ first person singular of to be

7:54 pm

7:55 pm

I was looking at the wrong sr's. silly me

7:55 pm

hi all. can anyone clue me the ad8?

7:56 pm

Anyone willing to help with the ts's? I don't have any of them. Please.

7:56 pm

pffffft. i missed the headwear, and actually had to monkey a little before i saw it. time to go get a snack and refuel.

7:57 pm

sr4/4 has something to do with Sikh gurus, I believe.

7:57 pm

Hi kanga ad 8---uhm there isn't an ad8

7:57 pm

kanga - no ad8. ar8, however, is ar4/6 + loch monster.

7:58 pm

ts 6/18: ts + mineral plural

7:58 pm

BettyAnne - all the ts words have to do with Yiddish trouble and suffering.

7:58 pm

well that's a great start! can't even read the grid!

7:58 pm

thats' the only ts I've got

7:58 pm

LOL, kanga.

7:58 pm

thanks lbd and jac

7:58 pm

bettyanne, ts+ oo5.10 - the 2nd vowel

7:59 pm

Thanks prismmgc2 and Jacula.

7:59 pm

t + s 5/10 ache change last vowel to third vowel for other.

7:59 pm

HI all ro6/21 please

7:59 pm

ts6/18 (2nd) = t +so4/4 (apology sounding word) plural.

7:59 pm

ts7/28 is the same but with a double vowel in the middle.

si 6.18???

8:00 pm

t+ aches and pains, is the second ts then change the last vowel to another vowel

i''m struggling to understand the points. i just added up a 7 letter NO word and totaled the tile points and came up with 7 points (each tile 1 pt) where does the total of 18 come from?

8:01 pm

whoa! this is some fast cluing going on.

8:01 pm

Oh, peri. Were you from UK, I would tell you to think of a radio DJ (The Emperor) from the 70's. However, that won't work. I'll think of another way of clueing it.

8:01 pm

peri. it's a man's name, start with first three letters from flower word, add abbrev for company and an extra vowel

8:02 pm

peri - its a small gun.

these clues are flying so fast i can't keep up... anybody got any rollerblades i can borrow

8:02 pm

lbd's clue will most likely work for you. ro7/32 is the plural, btw.

8:03 pm

ADHD - not seen roller blades in here yet, but we did used to have a hot tub and food fights.:)

8:03 pm

lbdawger--I don't have the 005 Can you help me please?

8:03 pm

thanks Jacula, never would have found that one

8:03 pm

adhd, the easiest way to understand the points is to read anglesongs babble page linked at the bottom.

8:03 pm

for the clues i have got (pant, pant) thanks you

8:03 pm

bettyanne, if it were a ee word is would mean scary

8:03 pm

SCORING Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word: 4-letter word = 1 x Points 5-letter word = 2 x Points 6-letter word = 3 x Points 7-letter word = 4 x Points 8-letter word = 5 x Points 9-letter word = 6 x Points

8:04 pm

si6/18 is an old Egyptian percussion instrument. Your little female sibling +

8:04 pm

an ee word...sheesh

8:04 pm

so if your 6 letter word is 6 points, mulitply that by 3 to get the 18

8:04 pm

There are no 'ee' words today.

8:05 pm

um, jac, + what? or am i being particularly slow...

8:05 pm

There is an 'oo' word though. LOL

8:05 pm

that goes back to my clue for the oo5 Jac.

8:05 pm

tra LA LA, kanga. (That's a clue. Don't look for the big letters.)

8:06 pm

Thanks lbdawger and all the rest of you for your help.

8:06 pm

Sorry, lbd. Left my 'station' for a moment. Lost track.

OMG!!! Blushes at Jac's suggestion

8:08 pm

8:08 pm

ROFLOL at ak's blushes.

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

he would not need a warmer with me !!

8:09 pm

GASP

8:10 pm

i think a babble afghan would be cute. i might just work that out, would be a challenge

8:10 pm

Yes, ak! You did just type that! ROFLOLPMP! omigod.

8:10 pm

my fingers just took over

8:11 pm

And there was me, innocently thinking, 'It's rather dold in part of the USA now.'

8:11 pm

I'll bet they did, ak. Truly LOL here! Hope I don't wake anyone up!

roflmao, now where is that pirate, he should be here to share the "warmth" lol

The so's are easy until you get to 7 & 9. Those words refer to many celled fruits like pineapples, blackberries etc. However, they sound more like illnesses. Think of (for the sound) the liver disease you get from drinking too much alcohol.

Here are the lyrics for Clarence Carter's 'Patches. You just have to hear the dirgey lyrics they are set to.

8:39 pm

I was born and raised down in Alabama On a farm way back up in the woods I was so ragged folks used to call me Patches Papa used to tease me but he was hurt cus he done all he could My papa was a great old man I can see him with a shovel in his hand See, education he never had But he did wonders when the times got bad The little money from the crops he raised Barely paid the bills we made Oh life had kicked him down to the ground When he tried to get up life would kick him back down One day papa called me to his dyin bed Put his hands on my shoulders And in tears he said Patches, I'm depending on you son To pull the family through My son, it's all left up to you Two days later papa passed away I became a man that day So I told mama I was gonna quit school But she said that was daddy's strictest rule So every morning 'fore I went to school I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on I wanted to leave and run away from home But I always remembered what my daddy said With tears in his eyes on his dyin bed He said, "Patches, I'm depending on you son I tried to do my best, It's up to you to do the rest

8:42 pm

bgmadden - That is my most hated song of all time. Sure, I know what it's real meaning is, but it's such a dirge... and what a fuss to make about a cake. It's a real self-pity song. Far worse than anything Leonard Cohen ever did.

8:42 pm

9:12 pm

Thanks Jacula I am working on it

9:12 pm

majmom, Evan just clued them at 9:09

9:12 pm

got it

9:13 pm

I did not ask a question

9:13 pm

majmom, the se's that is

9:13 pm

If so, I do. Not through any sense of racialism though. It's through a sense of tyring to get to know lots of countries, languages and cultures and then trying to clue as best I can to the person asking, so they don't struggle.

9:13 pm

Oh, okay Babrab. I was mistaken.

9:15 pm

Jac--I really think you're a great cluer and I love your chat in general--but the co 4 is abbr. for that masked animal. co 4 to refer to a dark person is as pejorative as Ni****--so it really goes beyond pc. Sorry--have to get im my 2 cents about this word.

9:15 pm

I thought this 9:02 post was directed at me...

9:15 pm

BabbleRabble ProfileUnited States So, you gave a clue intended for a particular group in a particular section in a particular country ... must have been in the starts

9:16 pm

majmom, how ya' making out?

9:17 pm

I know what I typed.

9:17 pm

not getting it yet

9:17 pm

Third co 5/12 pls?

is having 51 left after a few hours of play as a newbie (without clues) an okay score? I

9:17 pm

last sh5/12?

9:17 pm

mirandapan - I take your point and understand. As a former student of English though, I can see no other way to clue it, other than referring to rac****s, which aren't in my back yard in UK.

9:18 pm

I apologise if I offended you though., Truly.

9:18 pm

majmom, se + se + 3rd vowel + I have a ***e head, from this grid....

are there clues anywhere or just the list at lickety

omg i just discovered word lists

9:19 pm

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

Good majmom! Sorry Ic an't help ya' on the rest. :(

9:20 pm

word lover, lickety's list, and asking each other here

okay

9:20 pm

The second sh 5/12? Please? please? Maybe? :)

9:20 pm

lori, i still am not getting that pigeon sound... is there another clue?

9:21 pm

Miranda - if my black friends didn't keep calling themselves that at parties I go to, maybe I'd not say that either. Here in UK, it's almost become a term of endearment.

tx u guys

9:21 pm

I know you had no intention of offending, Jac--but we've just celebrated MLK, Jr. day here and part of his legacy is that most Americans understand that we do not use such words--among many other gifts he gave us. Cultural/country differences are so interesting, though, as I find out when I try to teach Josef Conrad. Thanks for listening.

clue for the second sh 5/12 and sh 5/14

9:22 pm

jac, i think it's a cultural thing then....just like some words you think are swear words, we don't, and vice versa.

9:22 pm

sh 5/14 plural of sh 4/6

9:22 pm

yeah, touch a fanny in australian and there will be big trouble!

9:22 pm

kanga, another word for where chicken are kept, in a ***p, or pen

9:22 pm

kanga - you know that co4/5 word that's caused some consternation? Just change the last 't' to an 's' for the pigeon word.

9:23 pm

wordlover, dunno..majmom and i are both stuck on that one.

9:23 pm

shcor

tx maj

9:24 pm

umm, ok, for the dummy co*s is the noise a dove makes, right?

9:24 pm

sorry no good any way

9:24 pm

Got it! sh + h***ory lessons

9:24 pm

lol, it's not a word, she was just trying things in the wrong box

lol

9:25 pm

not a word for sure just monkeying to try and get the right combo

9:25 pm

kanga - touch a fanny your haven't been invited to touch here in UK and you'll get punched. LOL.

9:26 pm

shcor, a word for blimey thsi grid is hard, but be quiet about it.... :)

9:26 pm

9:28 pm

That and a 'box' here in UK is something else entirely.

9:28 pm

Jacula, I find it quite odd that you respond to what nut said acknowledging the remark would be considered racist if said by a KKK. That you are a student of English is irrelevant; as is what call your black friends. No one called you are racist. I think you are being insensitive. You even refer to the word a second time. You, of course, may not agree.

ro 6/18 - what hens do plural

9:28 pm

Okay, so, what am I doing...oh yah, trying to finish this grid. focus Lori!

9:28 pm

Oh dear! We are all supposed to be speaking the same language.

10:04 pm

Amen, Helen

10:04 pm

10:04 pm

ty mom!

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

It are 12:01 here, and I have yet to slather on Oil of Old Hay. Thanks all for the help, new words for me. Sleep well all!

10:05 pm

doxy, sounds like a disease of the liver although spelled quite differently

10:05 pm

hi helen... (the stage whisper was in response to your proclamation about Sears)

10:05 pm

so9 is the plural

10:05 pm

night lori!

10:06 pm

thank you both

10:06 pm

the so 7 you want is a tropical fruit, starts like feminine fraternity, ends like opposite of "bro"; plural for the 9

10:06 pm

But, stid, they have pouches into which the ungrown infant crawls...

10:06 pm

g'night Lori!

10:06 pm

ah stid - i see, & sears used to be so reliable too :(

10:06 pm

that's true, Jacula, still... ;-)

10:07 pm

Yes, they have that infant, and one tooo big to fit into the pouch still hhanging in there with its legs sticking out, and another hopping beside.

10:07 pm

LOL. That''s my life.

10:07 pm

Thx Fran..I must be brain dead...I got the word from the direct clue but my carpenter skills have eluded me. Could you please be more specific for the FO6.18 and the 7. Both are the first ones in the FO.

10:07 pm

Sears is where my mother bought all our school clothes growing up. Then the quality declined dramatically in the 80s (and they wondered why people didn't buy their stuff); when I worked for them they treated their employees very badly.

10:07 pm

smd, ro6/18 is "one who" ro5/10s

10:08 pm

like a male chicken without the T in the middle

10:08 pm

then ro7 is the plural of that

10:08 pm

Finally Fireworks thanks for all of the help.

10:08 pm

oh no, i'm up to the dreaded ts words. any clues for a ts6?

10:08 pm

However, stid, they don't have to do though, 'Oh My God I am tearing in half' thing re birth.

10:08 pm

yay dr!!

10:09 pm

that's right jac, doesn't the baby just crawl out and up into the pouch?

10:09 pm

All the TS words are the same thing: yiddish for trouble!

10:09 pm

lucky you stid - i always had uniforms all the way through hs - now when i wear the same clothes all the time, jeans & black sweatshirts or t-shirts, i say i have catholic-school-dressing-syndrome!

10:09 pm

'roos don't have a bad life. Heck! We in UK still have our kids hanging on to us in there 30s. Do 'roos? I thinnk not!

10:09 pm

first ts6 is ts + metal **** that you dig in mines

10:09 pm

the TS 7 uses double vowel, ends like opposite of "bro"

10:10 pm

HEY - i should apply for a government grant to study that!

10:10 pm

thanks fran, thought i'd monkeyed that!

10:10 pm

Thx Fram!! I feel soooooo dumb. Need both IS's too please!!

10:10 pm

for the second ts6/18, change last vowel to an E

10:10 pm

for the ts7/28, double the O

10:10 pm

good idea, helen! but don't forget the lutherans... in the city I grew up in, the catholic kids (I was in that school for two years) had plaid, the lutherans polka dots (go figure)

10:11 pm

one IS is the Japanese for first immigrant

10:11 pm

lol - polka dots are even worse!

10:11 pm

smd, i + double consonant + two vowels

hey stid

bye all, till tomorrow...

10:23 pm

can I have help with the TS words?

10:24 pm

sure muskrat, the first is TS + double vowel + opposite of "bro"; the ts 6s are single first vowel and variant

10:24 pm

bye kanga!

10:25 pm

two to go. I am still trying to get the first NE and the Last OR 6.18

10:26 pm

go SMD! the NE5 is a person who practices worship of "NE" -- Thomas Jefferson was a de***, if that helps

10:27 pm

1st sc6/24 please?

10:27 pm

Ya'll--is the en 10 related to the en 7/40?

hey stid... yup... 5 Farenheit when I eleft work tonight... supposed to drop to 0... I wish it would stay down there, but it's supposed to warm up to around freezing next week

10:28 pm

sc 6/24: a type of soft stone, like mica... sc + h 4/5

10:28 pm

yes

10:28 pm

yes, miranda, a plural?

10:28 pm

Thx Stid...just noticed that i also need is 6.18 I know absolutely no Japanese.

10:29 pm

okay--looking...

10:29 pm

thx stid

10:29 pm

If the temp were bitterly cold like that, stayed like that and the people and plants around here ready for it, I wouldn't mind... but the last week with temps below freezing for the highs were very hard on people in these parts...

10:29 pm

IS 6/18 is the plural... IS + first three letters of spanish for six

so7?

so9?

see, it's so much warmer lately than it used to be... we used to get in the -40 range... but those days are long gone

10:30 pm

so 7, a tropical fruit: first four letters of feminine "fraternity" + opposite of "bro"

10:30 pm

the so 9 is plural of the 7

10:30 pm

found it, thanks--strange--sounds like the finish of an old comic book character--along with Veronica and Betty

10:30 pm

so7,9 - alternate spelling of a liver disease usually from drinking, and plural

10:31 pm

doesn't it though? someone actually clued it like that earlier!

10:31 pm

Oh, really? Though I was being original. Oh, well--also showing my age.

10:32 pm

Stid - spanish i know thx much. Now if I can get the last OR 6.18 I will be lighting fireworks.

10:32 pm

LOL -- I used to read those comics when I was a kid...

10:32 pm

the last OR 6 has something to do with bells, I think? OR + vowel + not daughter

10:33 pm

(not that you asked specifically...) ;-)

10:33 pm

Me, too--and I'm old enough to be your mother, I'm sure. They go waaay back.

10:33 pm

or8 please

10:33 pm

Actually... pretty close to her age, miranda! LOL

10:34 pm

or 8 is plural of the or 6 that looks like a corsage flower

10:34 pm

BINGO!! Thanks so much. This one absolutely wore me out!!

ping - theothermother - is that a web site? if it is, then i've seen it, but not through here :

10:59 pm

my computer has been hanging up a bit tonight, too. I think a lot of people are online with the cold weather keeping them home.

11:00 pm

okay, gotta take a break. back soon if I can.

11:00 pm

yes it's a website, hk, a blog - there's a link to it below on the babble page - i guess dr g likes it?

ok... bck for a bit

11:00 pm

stid - that's nice of you , thanks, but don't worry - i have friends who've been very supportive today - it's just one of those painful milestones

11:00 pm

hello -- I'm sooooo tired after a long day!

11:01 pm

in the jewish faith you light a candle on the anniversary of a loved one's death and say a special prayer

hk, thinking of you. i visited the website in your profile - "Dr D" was really somebody. His memory should be for a blessing, once the terrible shock fades.

interesting... my dad only ded 5 years ago, but I have no idea what date... it was june or july...

jillibaby!

11:02 pm

oh, that's a lovely tradition! Feb 10 will be a candle for my dear funny departed hubby who still bugs me in my dreams

11:02 pm

ping - nope, i've seen it because lenny's son (the one who died) & his partner were looking into adopting a child & during the course of our searches, we came upon theothermother site - i remember that, cause his brothers (twins) when they were very little, used to tell their mom that they had annudder mudder who lived in the alley & i remember commenting on how someone already took that name for a web site -LOL - small world!!!

11:02 pm

hi melonous !

hi all! <-------------- new babies - my niece and nephew - born this am at 8:16 and 8:17. woo hoo!

my tummy is very melonous these days, it's a freekin' water baloon - i'm having the doc take a peek tom'w - i'm very uncomfortable.

11:04 pm

melon - tyvm - yeah - i just finished composing a thank you letter to the school - i really fretted over it cause i wanted to acknowledge their importance to him

11:05 pm
