Sorry to hear about your bad day jillibus!My day was not so great either, even though it was my birthday.
yes, min, love your icon
happy late birthday, min!
hi lynxxx! about to get a beauty of a storm!
just after midnight last night my computer went BANG and died. What could be worse than that?
Thank you LeslieAnn! I guess now it is officially over!
rats, i was only one minute late
MRP best batten down the hatches then.
late again flip
Luckily it got fixed today but I didn't sleep much last night, picturing a frazzled hard drive and 11 years of info gone
You must have fixed it because we see you here now
min: it's only 7pm in Hawaii. keep on celebrating!
what happened to mess up your b'day, minver?
Jilli - whew! and now we are saving to CD's or similar?
Dont you just hate it when you sit for ages trying to find a word from a tile - then check the stats only to find out there isnt one!!! top left c
LOL prismmgc2!Thanks! I wish I was there right now!
ursh I was doing that all last nite LOL
lynxxx - thinking about it, just releived for now!
where is that nutster with her funny icon?
relieved
don't think, copy jilli! or at least e-mail copies of important writings and such to yourself to save
min's is pretty funny -- look carefully!
I just had a VERY long day today! First, had to drive an hour away to a conference and got lost so it took me 2 hours to find the place. Then I had to work the afterschool program. Then I had to work my second job and I did not get home until 9:00.I did not get to Babble unitl 11:oo because my husband made a dinner
no use saving to my email if the whole thing dies! I couldn't even begin to remember all the email addresses -- but never mind now, I'm just gratefulall is ok
If you click on my profile you can see the icon better
min -- what are your 2 jobs?

I like your icon too jillibus! So what does the w stand for? Wacky? Whipped? Wimp? Weirdo? Wuss?
angb, are you sure the naked boy in your pic approves of it being here? ;)
Nothing personal Angb, but you may wish to reconsider the naked boy icon...
No - I haven't told him - he would kill me I think ... still I have mother's rights I think. He's not showing anything untoward though!
Wubbleyou

hi volley
We got 3 inches of snow today.
hello volley -- I'm sure that's not you in your icon!
where are you, volley?
lol somedays it might be!!
Indiana

Could have done with some snow here to cool things down today.
my daughter sent her to me one day; she cracks me up.
you're really getting winter now
good evening all
you are right jil; finally; until recently we barely had winter at all.

Back in a while ....

evening, all.
Hi kanga
oh, great icon angb!
Took a photo of myself kanga LOL
Is that right? gr5/14?
don't think i can pass my icon off as a photo of me ;)
Of course in my favourite pearls
before swine, angb.
Yep, it's right... I got it.
my favorite candy isnt a word =( rolo's are the best
stop teasing me with those g's - looking for the 14 I found a 16 ... still looking for the 14
hi everyone
I tried that BNL
Wanna hint?
hi andree. great storm, huh!
Wanna hint? TEASE TEASE TEASE
I thought it might be grill - like in pork!
getting hungry, angb.
Nope.
only dark skies and a little thunder here kanga, will come soon I expect
Man, those g's were stumping me, but I got them all.
some very welcome rain, here. and lots of lightning.
took me a while to realise the gr is going 2 ways
1 g left which is gr5/14!
Me too - but it aint helping
Cough up the clue Wolfrick
Please!
sooo
my g is the g5/16!
Okay, but a subtle one.
There are two vowels in gr5/14
keep coughing Wolf
And the two vowels are adjacent
It's a dipthong
and it almost sounds like a word for grandmother
i dont understand this
That's the 16 BNL
No, that's gr5/16
ty BNL!
ty wolfrick1
Found it, the last combination it could be thnx wolfrick
Did you find it, Kanga?
ty wolfrick!
got it.
I brute-forced it.
Back to the o's LOL
_THEN_ I remembered the word.
got to go now, have fun all!
lol wolfrick. it means?
bye mva.
Click the ? next to the word in your list.
bye mva
having read the def'n be interested how you remembered the word, and what from
teasing, wolfrick! do you have occasion to use it?
It's the equivalent of "bard" or "skaald".
No, just have read it before.
Now I know what is wrong with this grid - too many words starting with vowels
they are my pet hate angb
and not enough s'es
I am starting to think I don't use words starting with a vowel. BNL I would agree
i have math again in the morning, so im headed to bed... good night and good luck everyone
Nite BNL
nite bnl
fireworks
Yay DrB
Are you kidding?
wtg Drb!
Off to read bedtime stories - see you all later
keep fighting the good fight people
ahghghg i just can't do this tonight... later everyone!

nite kier
bye angb
How did you solve it so quickly, Dr Bernabo?
he always does wolf
Hmm.

hi mrp, not yet
morning all, what does the 8 start with please.
MRP she's been coming on a bit later lately
hi oggy
Hi Oggy - Am
ah, homework requires ... what is a native of denmark called?
am 8/45
a dane - ?
a dane?
a dane makes sense
thanks prismmgc2
Denmarkistani
me, too. done.....
LOL Wolfrick
Congrats Joey!
How?!
thanks. anyone need some help?
yay joey
how? head in the grid, the word list, paying attention to clues, etc.
perhaps because they don't chat & just get on with it - or are speed typists - or are just plain smarter than us! (probably the latter)
nope, not smarter. just determined to finish. not a speed typist either.
credit where credit is due Joey - you are v. good !
thanks
Anone who finishes in less than two hours has to be pretty darned good.
Wolfrick - there is a lot who can and do on the reasonably sized grids. A lot who do it without lists as well. I am in awe of them
What list?
joey... I'll take a hint: il 5?
il 5, medical term. colon related
I use Lickety list - lkink below - when I either run dry or run out of time
I don't see constipated lol
Ah
you are right, and that is too many letters. it has 3 vowels
TY Joey
yvw
hi all :) *groan* have hangover
HI ATALANTE !!!!!!!
hi ata
nite all. good luck
Bye Joey
time for me to quit & head off to pillowland
night all
and g. nite Prism
LYNXXX! I hate you! :)
LOL
I nearly died yesterday, I'm allowed to have a hangover today :)
what happened yesterday?
as long as you enjoyed getting it ata
Server was drinking too! got the hiccups
some asshole lorry driver tried (and nearly succeeded) to ram into my car after stopping dead in front of me on a roundabout. Don't think he liked the fact I was going to get off the roundabout in front of him! Or something equally stupid
no wonder you took to the bottle, lol
Yep - an a'hole! shakes you up when you get stupidity on the roads like that
I was just very glad I didn't have my dog in the car with me because I doubt she would have got away uninjured! People are dumb
You OK physically?
yes fine, and was fine mentally after a good few shots of vodka :) it just makes me so cross that such stupid people exist!
ata, some people have no idea how to treat a roundabout, especially trucks
*mutter grumble idiots*
Wow - just got my first 7! ma7.32
ah well, today is a beautiful day and we have a nice grid
Atalante I have a harness which attaches to the seat belts for my dog in the car...it is intended for accidents and to stop them wandering about the car
oh so do I maggy :)
lare
loops sorry keep doing this
are all these words really here??!
75 of them are,lol
they do seem hard to find today - I'm struggling to get to a 100
especially the longer words
I've got 2 of the 7s if you want point score or clue
how many words please?
I'll keep soldiering on for the moment ...
Hi Crone - 143

hi lynxxx & thanks
thank you too kitty

Hi Kitty
ilia
ooopps
hello!
back later, 60 left
later Andree
back later too
morning all, nice sized grid. And any grid with LOTR must be a great grid.
Yeah, but it's a terrible hobbit.
Hi Sprite.. and LOTR means?
lord of the rings!
ah - right! forgot
and I thought Wofrick couln't spell - Sorry Wolfrick!
lol
at least 2 lotr words
Ain't you precious!
hi all. return after sudden exit a while back.
hey Ata
How are you going Wolfrick? using a list yet? PS Sprite is a super speedy one as well
and kanga
I'm looking at Lickety's list
But no other tools
hi sprite. how're you bearing up today?
I've got 51 so far on today's puzzle
Licety list is invaluable especially when the grids are in the 200-300 words
Thats great Wolfrick - is it your first time today?
oh sprite dear, I've got a new email addy, I'm abandoning my old one cos I'm getting soooooooo much spam in it. New one in profile :)
a little less shaky, but I have to g back tomorrow for a double session, so tensing up already. But so far doing ok enough. Thanks for asking :)
sounds amazing stuff. but not surprised about shaky.
You need a Gmail account. Never worry about spam again.
thanks Ata! Will mail you there soon.
lol, it is a gmail. And a nice one, ata. Shall I add you to my msn as well?
you have MSN now???????!
Just ignore the spam folder; it will empty itself eventually.
morning babblers
hey there blood
hi Blood !
I finally gave in, Ata :) Got the new one with the shared folders, which was so convenient that I decided to go for it.
wooohoooo :)
gee...i already don't like the grid today.
this is fun :)
it is a little g4/7 blood.
hey Blood! Hang in there, lots of nice words to be found!
Man, I had to brute-force the Z's
oh no. hadn't seen the z. must have been an automatic blind spot.
Only 3 z words.
haha..i tend to block them out as well kanga
And none of them is "Zorro"
dang
3 Zs can be a lot if you cannot find them, lol. I just cannot let go of wanting to make the animal exhibition place work.
me neither, sprite.
"menagerie" doesn't quite fit, does it?
;P
*head in hands* sob, i'm out of my league.
won't take :D
kanga, I have one word for you
ADDICT
LOL
sorry, girlie. it's not on the grid. can't accept it.
But! There's no "d" in todays grid! :O
how's it going, girlie?
rort is a perfectly good word, hmmmmmph
good good
good
It sure rort to fit, ennit?
how is it with you kanga
woo-hoo! just greyed my first box!
rort is a fine word. think we need more australian input in the dictionary.
having a stress out, girlie. will ring you later.
go, blood!
I'm terrified :/
:P
oooooo, emoticoning me :P
i learn fast, girlie. now concentrate on the grid... ;)
so 'farao' is not in the grid and if it were, it would be dutch spelling in stead of english... darn sprite, don't you EVER learn?
What does "farao" mean in Dutch?
how many languages do you speak, sprite?
Morning All - how are things - dont like this grid much. Any clues for am 6/24
Hi Kazzer
pharao, Wolfrick - just simpler spelling :) kanga: not that much. Dutch is my native language, then english as an ok second one, then a little french and german and some leftovers from japanese study. All the rest is only words...
morning kazz.
Good morning/evening all.
hate to think how i'd babble in any other language that my native, sprite?
Hello haz
*!
hi haz
good morning Haz
hi haz! how's spangle?
Hello Atalante - Spangle is fine! Metacam is the wonder drug of choice, she's moving freely again.
great :)
you'd do fine, kanga!
lol, sprite.
morning haz!
my french is a little rusty (ie gone)
hey Haz
Hello Bloodaxe - are you well this morning?
sure am haz...besides this bugger of a grid...and yourself?
you'd be surprised how many *words* would pop up out of your memory, even after having lost most grammar knowledge, trust me. And don't forget we get trained in different languages from early age on, in Holland, being such a small country with such a tiny language influence :)
I have to fight to keep French and Spanish words out of my guesses
I'm pretty well, back has stiffened up again (I've been neglecting my exercises a bit....) but otherwise well. It's pretty cold here today, lots of frost.
don't Wolfrick. They are valid sometimes!
Then they go and put them in the puzzle (jete)
never know when they are going to be accepted, wolf.
Don't resist guessing in other languages, Wolfrick, they may just be there.
Kazzer - am6.21 an explosive mixture - ends in a road or bridge ***l that you may need to pay
many spanish and french words are.
We almost have "tortilla" today :)
thanks sprite!
a phantom tortilla, darnnnnn
lynxx that fits in with the first am 6/21
lynxx, you are a genius.
what did I do, Blood?
Sorry Kazzer !!! forgot the 24 bit!
hahaha...um...just for being you!
(i meant to thank lynxxx)
He;s such a charmer.....
lol - now I understand :) And I feel charmed!
thats okay i shall wander around the grid trying daft combinations
ok, over half way now. might go and spend time with the man. good luck, all. talk to you soon, girlie xx.
bye kanga
Bye Kanga
bye kanga and everyone...time for shower...bbl
Bye Blood ...we're glad of that!
Bye Kanga and Bloodaxe.
bye kanga and blood
looks like girlie is concentrating! *poof*
ciao blood
Hey Kazzer - am6.24 I think there is a public transport system in the US that is called it
Hmm. That's a proper noun.
Thanks lynxxx.
apparently it is an amphibean as well
Well, I guess you learn something every day :)
The transport one ends in a different consonant, but it's a good pointer.
one of my justifications for babbling: I learn something new every day!
There is often Brand names and given names that are worthwhile trying Wolfrick - eg Fiat, Honda, Peter and today - mi4.5 which is a drink mixture
We'd have a great means of transport if we could get the ae4/4 and the fo4/7 together.
ty lynxx that was the one
Can someone give me a tiny hint on am8,45
please?
a + german for 'with' + what an actor plays
Thanks sprite.
Ach. I could swear I tried that.
am 8/45 - french for friend minus last letter plus strange spelling of creature that lived under the bridge in the story billie goat gruff
Danke.
Well, I need to give up and get some sleep.
It's been fun, Babblers.
night Wolfrick!
Sleep well, Wolfrick!
night wolfrick
some old babblets in here
bye Wolfrick
Hey! Who you calling an old Babblet?!?!? Why, back in my day we'd skin your hide for using such language! Hunh!
LOL kitty! Sooooo sorry darling... you couldn't be called a babblet, of course :)
and... fireworks
:-)
yay!
I'm on my way out but maybe I'll run into you again later. I have 85 - not a bad start..
Yay for Sprite !!
any calls for clues before I run off?
Congrats Sprite !!.........hello everyone :)
hey Karys :)
Hey! Great job Sprite!
Congratulations sprite - and helo Karys!
bye Kitty and congrats sprite, hello karys
Hello Karys
I have the c*** before the horse, but that is my only c so far... any advice
One more word... just one more word and then I WILL go...
I'm an addict
You could squeeze in a cr4/6
great clue!
ca6: ca + what the postman brins
*brings
cool - got it!
See, that 's two more words!
also ca5: a heap of stones set up as a landmark, monument, tombstone, etc.
ty sprite
TY Sprie
and again!
yvw :)
drop first letter of the stone one for an A4
babblets ma4/5, oo6/18 (I really hate that one, NEVER can find it), 3x greasy O4, 2x hebrew letter, 1x greek letter.
And the carniverous crustaceans? zo4/9, zo5/20
ty Haz...didn't have the 5
oh yes, those are babblets too, forgot them (blocked them out, I guess!)
za5/22 - another almost African country
TY Sprite & Haz
I am off, have a great day/night/whatever all of you and happy babbling!
Bye sprite - have a good day!
Bye Sprite - Thinking off you tomorrow
bye Sprite...all good wishes x
best go....chicken casserole to construct !
Bye for now, Karys.
bye Karys (my mouth is watering)
save you some lynxxx !
maybe not - could be green before I get there - but thanks
BBS - must organise dinner here as well
ANother kitchen deserter! See you later, lynxxx.
bye - have nice food
anyone know the al/4?
d'oh... i have it... I mean the al4/7 that doesn't end in the fricative
There are at least two - al4/4 - being illuminated, al4/7 - a reworking of what is green on a tree
There are twp ending in the fricative, just change the vowel at the end
oho...thank you.
You're welcome.
hi babblers im at uni having a quick peek as my lecturer has not arrived as yet.
Hello pinkhat.
Right, I'm taking a break and will come back to this later. Bye!
Thank you for educating me about the fricative. Although I have a degree in English, I had to look it up!
There's plenty of ho4/5 where I am today.
What's happened to the chatlog? Is anybody still here?
I'm all on my own. Brrrrrrrrrrrr... spooky!
good morning , im lurking and trying to find tr7/40
Oh, thank heavens you're there, Yvo. I felt all alone in the world.
it is unusally quite
I've just clicked your icon and read about your daughter, Yvo. I am so sorry.
10 to 25 below zero ith windchill
yes the love my life
she was 41
I found my daughter. I had to have her adopted in the sixties, and now she's 38. Talk about the Lord giving and taking away... 41 is far too young to pass away.
Yvonne was also adopted
So we have something in common, from opposite ends of the adoption chain. I get on well with my daughter's adoptive mum. I have just come back from a weekend with them.
im so happy for you,it means alot
Did Yvonne ever think about tracing her birth mother?
yes
but after all the help we offered she didnt want to anymore
Sorry, I'm probably getting too personal here. I do apologise.
no your not its ok,sometimes it helps, babble for one keeps my mind of thinking about it
If you ever feel like having a private email conversation, I'm at hydrababble@yahoo.co.uk, Yvo
thank you ill copy
Must get a coffee now. Hope to hear from you sometime, Yvo. Happy babbling. I'll be back later.
i have a 8 year old grandaughter who is reading in church this morning,and she asked me to come ,well the streets are icy and im trying to get enough courage to try it
ok enjoy your coffe i did allready
I am still here - luriking really today - stuck on the last re 5/10
strange small world hydra - i had a daughter adopted in 1983 - never heard from them though
Lubricate again for re5/10?
I've not started using the list yet, so not sure if it's the last or not.
ty haz it is
Oh, that's good - a lucky guess.
thanks Haz still could use a little hint on Tr 7/40
hi babblers!
Yvo -I don't have it yet, but I'll look.
Hello Fran!
hi haz! i just started, couldn't get to the grid until now.
hello Fran
hi yvo!
yvo dont have tr 7 yet
Hi fran
hi kazzer!
OK I give up, niether my monkey nor my cat can get these Zs, any clues going?
*neither
lizmac, i only have two of them, they have to do with the microscopic larvae of certain crustaceans.
liz - add a vowel to a woman's name for zo4, then make it descriptive for zo5. The za5 is almost an African country
the other z is like an african country without the 2nd latter in the alphabet
tr7 - make an English dessert into one who plays with the emotions
just reading thro chat...I feel I have something in common with you lost Mums... I was the foster mother who had the babies waiting to be adopted !
ty haz
thanks for the tr7 and the dessert haz!
sorry...I had that tr7 and didn't know, I could have given a rare clue !
You're welcome.
I hadn't even noticed the weapon!
gave me those two words also!
im struggling with the dessert
The dessert puts a t in front of a weapon (think firearms)
Yvo....custard and jelly ?
yvo, if you have the R weapon, add to the front of it.
It rhymes with the famous Parisian tower
TY for the ZOs, trying for the ZA, but no luck so far
got it but only 6 letters
Yes, now make it a person who does.
yvo, make it someone who does it.
thank you got it
za5 - not Zaire, another country minus the middle b
ZA- just a "mere" addition!
Haz....do you have the i coming from the left...I have one but can't find the other
Not yet, Karys, I'll give it some attention.
za5 - african country with a letter missing in action
karys, both have to do with the backbone
hi ata!
Hi. Karys - add a consonant to the other one
hi lynxxx!
yes..ty...found it now
Hi Fran. spk softly around Atal - she's suffering
recovering now :P
oh no, suffering from what?
migraine ata?
nearly lol. hangover after drinking too much vodka to blot out stupid lorry driver trying to kill me few minutes yesterday!
oooh dear....nice to know you're ok , well nearly ok !
wow! i missed that story, glad you're alive and recovering now.
road rage sucks!
Don't know of any countries in Africa other than Zaire that start with Z, so STUCK !!!
za + ms. farrow
doesn't actually start with Z liz, try another start letter
(woody allen's ex)
the counrty, that is
oh thats a good one Fran
OOOOPS of course, ZA****, how silly. Got it TY!
well, it's probably called something else now. :-)
thanks karys
have you all got the ro4/7 that sounds like the little white ball and stick game ?
now i do, thanks karys!
also the one who ro4/7s
you can extend that as well
yes got that
just couldn't believe it !
means to vomit - does sound like it too!
lol
its also a massage technique
i was wondering if that was spelled the same way
yup :)
still having trouble with the zo's - d'oh!
dunderpuss, zo + two vowels then add a letter that makes that word an adjective for the zo5
zo plus two vowels, add a consonant for the descriptive zo5. It ends up looking like zo plus a reworking of a type of beer.
Thanx! Now I'll just have to look up what the @#$% it means!
Carniverous crustaceans!
morning!!!!!!
hi MM!
hi movieman
7s and the 8 please?
and they really are carnivorous! fierce beasties
i only have tr7/40, one who tr6/27s (tr6/27, small thing, also a dessert)
am8/45
hi
have to get to bed, good night babblers!
hi all again
hi hurshy
hi and bye hursh!
and a to7/28
nite Fran
Hi Movieman. am8.45 - ends in the part actors play. to7.28 extra on the cake. ma7.32 its an art
Nite Fran. Hi Hursh
night fran
ma7/32 - relating to the military or the law in the wild west (sounds like)
ty Haz
just missing 1 seven, then i can continue with the rest of the grid
to7/28? Will I need a fish?
Good morning folks. How is the grid?
missing one 7 also
ma 7/36 -- map projection dude, one letter short
anyone have the both RA words from the top row? I have the animal + vowel
Extend the law suit with a bathroom floor material
G'd morning Babblers!
to 7/28 starts with begining of name of regular babbler plus what you stick on bathroom walls to protect them
ty--skip the fish!
scrabbler - trcksy in parts - 143 words today Lori
LOL Thank ye Kaz! :-)
Morning all.:-)
Hi Jac
G'd morning Jacula
I got it, Kaz. I am still working on the ZO clue from below.
Good morning Jacula - nippy where you are?
ty Babblerabble
to clarify, ma 7 -- ma + me*****r
Hi Jac
'Tis a bit, yes, Haz. Snow tonight, I believe.
Phand - ra6.21 same animal + un*** we meet again
Z's are done--ridiculous.
It was freezing quite hard when I was coming home from my night class last night. I shall soon (hopefully) have a certificate in food hygiene. How we've survived up to now is a miracle.
thnx
Am 8,45? anybody?
Haz - Are you opening a catering establishment?
Haz, are you taking what we affectionately call here, the "nosepicking course"?
Not at all! It's just that if you are doing any sort of catering (in my case church things and RDA) you are supposed to have qualifications.
still can't get the ma7/36
me either, mm
and me
ma7/36 - Mr Bolan of TRex fame, a vowel, and the beginning of a foot digit
Haz - Oh, I see. Yes, all the new laws about not taking cakes to school, playgroup, WI etc., etc.
ty haz
ty Haz
ma7/36.....add cons to your mother then a feline then a vowel
ma 7/36 - karate is an example of ma.......... arts
sorry that is ma7/32
Exactly - it doesn't matter whether you are selling or giving food away, you have to be able to prove that your fridge worked and that your ham was fresh and that you had disinfected etc. Regulations upon regulations. I've managed never to poison anyone, but just in case.....
'Nosepicking course', Lori? Ewwwwwwww!
And you wouldn't believe the dangers of a single hair!
i would
LOL
am8 - am I playing this part
Jacula, we call it that, because it points out the painfully obvious, for waaaaaay too many hours. Mayonaise on the counter for several days is a bad idea, etc etc etc
Haz - You'll have to send me some of the rules so I can 'scare' myself half to death.;-)
weell... sorry am I (consonant) playing this part
I will - most is common sense, though. We had scary details about cockroaches and how you can't get rid of them.....
TY dunderpuss (I love your name!)
after taking the Food Hygeine Cert I turned into a manic compulsive hand washer!
Time to get ready for that 4-letter w word. Back for more frustration later! TTFN all.
Its what I feel like when I'm playing this game!
Lori - Ah, this litigious world in which we live!
The course is designed to relieve you of your common sense, and scare you to death.
deb - I hope you're kidding?
ma7 what bruce lee did ma***** arts or little green mene changing the last vowel
Later mom.
I can believe you, scary. The lady in charge of the course confessed that her children were already obsessed with her four year old up through the night washing his hands. He also demands to know whether things are beyond their sell by date (too young to read for himself)
Jacula, sad but true.
'Bye, mom. Emjoy your day at wo4.
*enjoy
bye bye mom
I think so many bacterial based illness is caused by us being too clean now and our bodies not creating the antibodies
I wish we had an 'edit' button!
deb - I agree with you.
atalante, are you there? busy?
Ack! There's re's in this grid. scary, I agree 1,000%
And from using too many antibiotics when unneeded
Yes, that's the confusing thing - on the one hand they tell you to clean like mad things, on the other hand, clean too much and our bodies don't develop antibodies.
I'm here. lurking
only the fs left now - happy fishing
IM?
I am up to a whopping 30 words in 20 min--yesterday I got 100 in 30 min---waaa
I've set a blistering pace. 21 words in, well, er, never mind!
It's a very different grid today, Scrabbler. The words have to be teased out. Yesterday they jumped off the page.
94 words here, so far...
I know, Hazel, yesterday I felt like, well, Sprite and you and hursh...my Babble Self-Esteem was quite high
I got 43
Need some longer tweezers now to winkle the rest out...
Oh, Scrabbler, I'm nowhere near as speedy as the speed merchants! I plod along.....
i got 10 left to find all fs
down to 29, not had to use list yet, and now have to get ready to go out with daughter, so back later
'Bye Karys. Wrap up warmly!
Kazzer--you're almost there!
And karys--you too
Have a nice day with your daughter, Karys. It's my daughter's 20th birthday today, but she's in Edinburgh so won't see her, unfortunately.
Later Karys. Go Kazzer!
beautiful sunshine tho' Jac !
Happy Birthday to Haz's daughter!
Mine has her 20th on 26th March.
I can't believe that I no longer have teenagers. Should I feel grown up now?
This daughter will be 20 beginning of March, and we shall be away, a fact of which I am being constantly reminded !!
I have to go too. With the snow the driving has been horrendous--yest it took me 90 min to get to work when the usual is 45.
is there someone here called Karys?
'Bye, Scrabbler. Take care.
No, Hazel, don't become a grown-up, don't do it.
yes...me.. kakk
its my mums today as well and it was hubby's on Monday - February is very popular for celebrations in our family - mine soon and and mum and dad's 50th wedding aniversary
Haz - Nah!
my daughters 20 on 12th March and went to work in Perth, Australia last week so no cake to share this year
Haz no - grown up looks pretty boring!!
Scrabbler - drive safely and have a good day. I'll try not to grow up too quickly!
Later Scrabbler. Drive carefully.
hello - I'm called Karys too - I've never known anyone else with the same spelling though - so nice to meet you :)
take care scabbler
my Aunt told me not to bother now ( growing up )...it's too late !!
oops scrabbler
kakk, not my real name, but I like it !
Karys isn't your real name? how funny - where'd you find it?
Jacula just read your icon - lol :)
just in my head kakk
really have to go now...byeee
karys - is this married in 2007 or done already
Later Karys
nice to meet you! bye
JFB - Made me smile. Hate to imagine if they really carried out what it reads.
It's great, Jacula - a photo of your own?
Kazzer - Karys got married on Christmas Day while on a cruise. None of us were in the least bit jealous.
Who would swop basting turkey for a Caribbean cruise?
its alright for some - like you say Haz - not jealous at all
Haz - No, off the net. Lots of stupid signs on there. Another is a sign that reads, 'Caution! This sign has sharp edges!' and another, 'Warning! Road will be wet during rain!'
They've covered all their bases then!
i think I have been to a gold course where i saw a sign like that but cant remember where
*golf
The best (most stupid) I've seen was on aBBQ - Warning - grill will be hot when in use!!
my favorite sign was in my town where i live. It is a church that has all of the services and programs . One side is english. The other side is for spanish services. The thing that makes it funny is that the spanish info was all in english. Like, whats the point
LOL, Kazzer. I thought you were putting and driving with the rich & famous for a moment, there.;-)
goodnight all...(old) puppy wants a late night walk
'Night, lynxxx.
Bye lynxxx
Goodnight lynxxx - have a good evening and see you tomorrow.
night lynxxx
G'night lynx
wurdy - that reminds me of another sign, 'Don't let worries & stress kill you! The Church can help!'
that is funny
hi peri and everyone else
JFB - I had a box of eggs the other week that had the warning 'may contain egg' on it.
hi marigold
Hi marigold.
lol jacula
bus duty the kids finally going back....yeha!
My favorite sign is on a ski shop nearby. It says "ski tuning in rear."
Gail - Ouch!
My thoughts exactly.
Okay, time to go and take my fellow walking bio-hazard for a stroll. At least she doesn't have any fl4/7s to worry about! Bye all. And keep washing those hands, everyone.
can I have a clue for the ma7/32. please
We will, Haz! Enjoy your walk.
See you Haz
Hi marigold and everyone else
Bye!
bye haz see ya later - hi peri
marigold - ma7/32 - Mr. Bolan of TRex (also my son's name) + definite article + '**' anf fro'.
don't have it yet marigold, just started
Hi, peri.
*and fro'.
ma 7 -- extend the ma 4/5 preceding and add tr*** and err
peri you have email
ma7/32 like kung fu -"ma*****"arts
Oops! Need more tea - I clued ma7/36. Sorry about that.
thanks Jacula. I got it
y/w, marigold. Even though I clued wrong word.
marigold, I got the email
thats o.k. I needed that one also.
thank you dunderpuss that was a good clue. for the ma7/32
FIREWORKS FIREWORKS - I am now going to sort out lunch for us probably speak later
got the ma7/32 but not the ma7/36
COngrats Kaz!
Yay for Kazz
Well done, Kazzer.
OMG Tim Wonnacott just mentioned an etui on Bargain Hunt!

Ata - he must be a closet Babbler!
What in the name of all that is sacred is the ca 5 please?

Kazz, didn't you mean 4th vowel? I got it though, thanks

yes sorry Peri
Kaz, could you blond that clue down for me please?
clue for the 8 please
am8/45, peri.
thanks Jacula, is it a "regular" word
Hmmm, not really,peri. It's a herbicide. Begin with friend 'friend' am* then add a baddie that the Billy Goats Gruff encountered but change last letter to a vowel, making it a word for a part actors take.
Why didn't I just say that in the first place??
*French friend.
Ack. All that time for the ca 5. Pass the fish please....
Time for a break, methinks. 43 left. BBL.
thanks Jacula, great clue, got the am8

lovely, scarlet :)
bye eva
hi scarlet - yes, you are!! ;-)
Bye, Eva. TY, hursh.
Thanks, Wolvie?? LOL
ok now the ai's are giving me the squits. help!
hurshy - I saw this today and thought of you! "I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat. "
scarlet - love your bio. I live in NC as well.
ai = 2 with the *** we breathe, last letter(s) consonants
hillary, there is the garlic spread ai
ai 5 + ravi*** (pasta)
lol. but my cats are actually very dependent and attached (marty gets upset if i leave for half an hour...), they do usually come when i call, they never go out at all, and if they're going to sleep, they want to do it near me. :)
Thanks, Wolvie. Yes, Apex, right? We have to create a NC contingent of Babblers.
sounds like a plan, scarlet. yes, apex. :-)
Maybe see y'all later -- lots of work to do.
thanks lori... but i didn't get the consonants for the breathing one.
bye gwen
Okay! Now, into the grid! Bye, gwenski. See you later.

Sorry, not there yet.
The li 5/10 would be nice though....
what prisoners are called who aren't getting out build on the li4

il4 + 3rd letter
got 'im!
hilary, am I gonna need a fish? Still not getting the li 5/10

OK now the re6 is driving me mad.

Finally, the clouds part! Thank ye hilary. (sigh)

but - babble knows many more words than moi
scarlet, can anyone here be called "normal" whatever that is. babbleaddicts
my only re5 is to make a candle burn again
now that she has an icon pic, she says she is normal. Go figure. As you say, normal is suspect here. ;-)
LOL, Anniebrook. I guess the proper term is "not more odd"... oh, drat, that is so true, Wolvie... LOL.
ty bookgrrl, that gave me another one. think of an re that would grease stuff - re-grease.
ok tks guys, now i have both re5s but am still flummoxed by the re6!

Yeah, I was cluing the wrong one... but I got it!

Good work, LoriP. Don't forget your cape!
Kick Babbling. I don't think it will catch on...

yknow, ive decided that snow is useless to me if i still have to go to work... :/
am + train ****k or horse racing ****k
thanks
talking of snow - they've forecast a foot or so for tomorrow for here, yet I have a meeting in London tomorrow. I have just had to arrange accomodation and travel for 15 people just in case they cancel the trains.
am * 1st vowel + ***erate my poor cluing
I must be off to the land of avoided domestic chaos. Have a great day all!
thanks again lori
Which is likely. They cancel the trains nationwide here for any excuse. Last week someone peed on a line in Inverness and trains all over the country were cancelled.
bye lori
lol chef
we only got like an inch here, so i wasnt at all *expecting* anything to close, but i sure was HOPING! hehe
What
What's the other i? I have the two il4/4.

il 5 - add a consonant to your second il 4
theres an io4

ty ty
afternoon everyone - enjoying the cold weather?

Good clue, Wolvie. Got it straight away.
oh good!
hey shorty!
Poor Shorty. Would you feel better if we found something for you to study?

Ah. Well, make that kid do chores then. Shoveling snow comes to mind.
Hes driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!
am plus 4th vowel, plus cross letter, plus ro4
i'm sat in a freezing house because the gas board have decided to update the gas pipes IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER!!!
interesting...thanks wolvie
oh man - bummer denny
Yeah HIM shovel snow he might hurt his hockey arm HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
they can't do it in the nice warm summer can they - oh noooo, it has to be winter and the coldest bloomin' week!!!!
oh dear, poor denny!
That certainly doesn't make sense, Denny. Unless they had a leak they had to address immediately. *passes extra blanket*
*Sends blankets, yeti boots and an electric fire over to Denny's house.*
no- no leak -there doing the whole street - thanks judi, now where did i put my heated socks...
yw evan
*they're* - sorry appalling english there!!
thanks jac
denny - not that it's the same, but my heat went out yesterday - the coldest day of the year. They were able to repair by the end of the day tho TG
That's okay, Denny. We speak appalling.
I was grateful for my fireplace
might hav eto succumb to the special hot chocolate i was going to save for the snow tomorrow!!!
denny -- i can send you my hideous, yet fantastically *WARM* pants...
ly. ;-)
y/w, Denny. Want a hot water bottle, as well? (Or a 'hot warty bottle', as my daughter used to call them when she was little)?
sorry, i guess those pants are for shorty...heh
eva - thankfully i know american pants are trousers 'cos that could have been embarrassing!!!
<sniggers> warm pants! <snigger>
lololol
hah, yes, i forget thats one of the naming differences over there. ;)
roflol
hey, if it works, ill take warm trousers OR warm pants!!
Okay, I'll bite. What does "pants" mean in the UK?
ROFLOL re the hideous 'pants'.
please dont send pants across the atlantic. You can get arrested over here for that sort of thing.
Judi - underwear = knickers etc.
knickers - panties -
judi -- in the UK, pants are undies. :)
Dachef - truly am ROFLOLing here.
me too jac
roflmpo
Fireworks! Thanks for the clues earlier.
Not ROFLOLPMP, thank goodness.
so, i guess the show "Pants Off Dance Off" would have a TOTALLY different connotation over there!
Well done, Merk.
Oh, puh-leeez. LOL.
congrat merk!
ooooh yes - 18+ rating!!! mind you channel 5 would probably give it a showing - if Keith chegwin can do it...
you would need new pants then jac. ;-)
evan - over here that program is shown after 11pm on those dodgy pay-per-view channels.
wd merk
what connotation does it have HERE? haven't heard of that show...
lol evan
hi everyone!
hi TO
hi TO
hurshy -- ive never seen it, but from what i gather, its people going crazy with karaoke in their undies...
Hi TO.
Hi, TO. Congratulations, Merk. Karaoke in undies? Hmmm...
If I had karaoke in my undies, it would drive me crazy, too.
how odd, and lol vi
especially if there was too much bass
LOL. Man, you Brits get all the good shows. We need a good knickeroake program in the U.S.
yay merk!
lol Denny!
combining most people's two worst nightmares - performing in public (poorly, most likely), and suddenly realizing you're in your underwear.
evan - sounds dodgy even for par-per-view channels. Denny - did you HAVE to remind me about the naked Keith Chegwin. I'm off to make meatballs for dinner soon and I've gone right off the idea now.;(
lol
Now wouldn't that take "American Idol" to a whole new level?
LOL, Jac
knickeroake? Fantastic idea! <furiously writes the idea down under the heading "ideas for next staff party">
lol
hey maybe we could enter the idea on dragon's den?
Eh, most performers are wearing no more than undies anyway.
"knickaraoke" i love the terminology! think we can get Dr God to add that to Enable?? ;)
Ooer! Just remembered what my icon reads ... NOT those kind of meatballs!
just read it too jac - LOL
knickaraoke - great word!
rofl
"please give me some money because I want to sing along to britney Spears in my underpants". Oh no wait, just had a teenage flashback......
LOL, Dachef.
I coined a phrase! Call my lawyer. Patent pending.
Off to help chaperone the pre-school on their field trip across the street to the post office. Must put 18+ thoughts out of my head right away!
bye vic
bye, vi
bye vic
must be off as well - bbl to finish
Ta ta, Vicuna
'Bye Vicuna. I must look for my missing or6. No, it isn't an org!
lol dachef - altho' it was duran duran did it for me!
See you later, Wolvie.
Or6 is a brightly colored bird.
bye wolvie
i am getting nowhere with this grid today...
FIREWORKS!:-) T'was a bird.
OR6 -- is also baltimores baseball team. :)
wd jac
Congrats, Jac.
yay, jacs!
Get your head out of your "pants" and get to work, Denny!
Oh, thanks for the clue Judi.
but they're the only thing keeping me warm judi!
It's hard to concentrate when your feet are cold, Judi! Denny - you have your pants on your feet??
actually it sounds like their on Denny's head
Well, I must go and get the dustbin in now. We have to have them 'on the verge' by 7am. Binmen have only just been. *sighs*
no - round my head keeping my ears warm!!!
*they;re, that is
(14:53pm)
know that feeling jac
bye jac - see you later
Denny - the chuckles you have just given me with that image will keep me warm as I venture to the verge.
my gas was going to be back on in a few minutes - that was 3 hours ago - must be a very important lunch break they're having
Work intrudes. BBL.
bye judi
bye, judi!
Denny - perhaps your gas men having been lunching with my binmen??
ooh just found a warm spot on the hard drive
*have been
Must go! Byeeeee. Happy Babbling.
perhaps jac - or perhaps the gas men smelt the gas from the bins and decided that was more important
woah off on a tangent there - this cold is starting to freeze me senseless!
not that your bins smell jac - it must be your neighbours...
zoal
sorry
right that's it - i'm off to try to warm up with a hot drink - see you later
bye denny - stay warm
ok..seriously... convinced that there aren't really any "z" words in the grid...Dr. God is just toying with us....those pesky Gods, always toying with us...
i agree, blood!
i agee, bllod ! : /

The household is stirring, so I'm going to make a cup of tea -- back in a bit - should be lots of clues flying around by then ;)

Rae -- which street is the construction zone on?

LOL kitty! a problem with living surrounded by large trees is sometimes the critters that belong outside decide to move in.
What the spider????tor
thanks evan, ata, and maggie
Hi Maggy
hi maggy - I saw an article on the news today saying drivers will get 3 points if they are caught on their mobiles from the end of Feb! Woot!
ok..i have no words..i need to concentrate LOL
lds do you need the british word for streetcar?
That's what she said: a wood spider . .can't be too fast moving ..
actually can't see the spider now... getting nervouser
LOL tor
ids: tr = what you put on a package
they need to do that here I cant stand people on the phone driving cause they pay NO ATTENTION
ouch - the obvious!! thanx
now help me with the 2nd tr 5/10
pris -- just change the vowel. :)
I don't have the list yet... don't know which ones I have are in what position...
i put bows on packages...
stid have you got any hairspray? My mum always zaps them with it ..they cant run away then
spiders are the best insect to have..they eat all the others...
yes it freezes them i do that to
oh, I try to not kill them. I'll take it outside when I can get to it. they don't go far from the web
i love it when i have spiders in my house..then i don't have to worry about the flies or bees
that my boys let in, because they never shut the door!
i dont like anything that has more appendages than i do...
Sometimes we find the egg sacs of house spiders and watch them develop. They are really interesting!
gross!
ewwwwww gross
i love it when there is a big beautiful web in sight.. and the dew catches it..it is amazing
My big dog likes "spicy bugs" -- wasps. He does the patrol for me when they are out and about
angela..you must learn to appreciate nature's beauty and awe
mom, I have a cool icon to show you... if I can find it. brb
no, I must not. yuck!
ok stid
lol angela...
Oh stid..That is horrible..it can put me off my supper
i appreciate it... but i appreciate it a lot more when its far, far away from me!
I appreciate nature, as long as it is outside, not in my house
lol evan..
spiders can exist...just as long as it's not within firing distance of my shoe :)
LOL Angela..me too
ever really see a spider build a web?? it is fascinating,...really.
I actually have a huge black one on my garage door, complete with big egg sacks that I have been tolerating...you would be proud!
no luck. oh well... I hate having so many different places to keep pics!
But it will be toast as soon as I find something big and flat enought to kill it :)
don't get me wrong..i gross out if i don't see one and walk through it accidentally..but, seeing them is awesome
image how the insects that get caught up in them feel LOL
I can agree with that, as long as I don't walk into it
This conversation is giving me the shivers!!!
i must admit..i kill bees...that much of a nature lover, i am not! LOL
So I guess some of you aren't fans of "Charlotte's Web."
sorry caitlyn... I was actually bit by a (nontoxic) spider years ago when the kids were little. I think I sat on it when I was working in the garden. It was WAY more painful than even childbirth. But I got over it.
i got rid of all shrubbery that attracts them
I know! I keep looking all around me now and getting the creepy crawlys
Hey Vi!
i love charlotte's web...
I'm with you Stid = bit by one on the ankle and was on crutches for 2 weeks...no thanks!
how r u vic?
Hello, stidmama, momof3, and all!
ok...so you have legitimate reasons for not liking them LOL
personally, i would rather be in a room with a spider and all it's friends, than my ex hubby!
Hi Vic
lol mom!!
hiya vic
LOL mom
i have that pleasure tomorrow morning ..yoowhoo
but then, I like spiders... *shrug* I see them as existing for a purpose, and just try to keep my eye on them so they stay where they belong.
sorry to hear that mom
maybe i could BRING the spider and let it bite him?
oh {{{mom}}} think of him as a big, fat larval something and let the spiders have him! LOL
I would rather talk about moms ex than spiders
lol
don't be sorry ang..i plan on wiping him up all over the courtroom!!
I like spiders, too. Mosquitos and fruit flies I slaughter without mercy. Other things I try to put outside.
not a bad idea...can see the headline now...wood spider mysteriosly bites man to death...
i am with you vic LOL...hate those mes and f/f
i couldn't get that lucky ang...
I don't mind anything except sand flies. They are evil insectified
Admittedly, if I'm going to put something outside in this weather, it might be kinder just to smush it.
well, you give 'im hell anyway then :)
and , for the record, i am not just a whiny ex wife.. he really does deserve it LOL
true Vic, true
my sister's going through it right now too, so I'm tempted to give you the benefit of the doubt
If you play Babble and he doesn't, that just proves you must be the better person.
I just got a gr 5... where DO they find these words?
clue for the am8 please?
i could tell you stories that would make your head spin..you wouldn't even believe me.
am 8? *looking*
lol vic
We never thought you were mom!!Im sure he has earned it
given what I know of the moron my sister married, I think I would :)
am8/34 - am + gender neutral pronoun + actor's piece
lol cait..ty :)
What about midges Atalante?
second ho4/5 please
thanks vic.
midgets?
wow...awesome vic...thanks
nope, can deal with midges. anything but sand flies.
yippee! the 9! thanks Vi!
I never squish midgets! I always put them gently outside!
LOL Vic!!!
Just kidding. Really, I'd offer them a cup of tea.
glad to hear that, Vi (speaking as a slightly below average height woman)
i live with three midgets..would like to squish them sometimes LOL
phew! I was scared for the wee folks there for a minute!
oops. meant the 8... *sigh* my fingers are not paying attention
make that four..the dog.
mom perhaps my icon is right for you today
wait..let me look closer..
ABSOLUTELY!!!
lol
I have 3 ho4/5's, of which my second is one who digs a row.
ROFL caitlyn!
thanks vicuna
love your icon Vic...just took a minute to look
It's a classic, Angela.
does your sis's ex see the kids?
comic genius
Vic the 3rd ho4 is an anagram of the 1st one
lol vic..just looked..
Hi, all. I've been in and out of the grid... to feed my beloved and the biiiig tiger cat, Phaedra. Just finished. Clues, anyone?
Vi! how did you find that pic of stidmatt? *grin*
He's trying but I'm hoping it doesn't happen. He did some pretty horrible things to my niece (his stepdaughter)
hello scarlet!
Hi Scarlet and congrats
Hi, Stid. Feeling better, I hope?
Thanks, but I have three, caitlyn. Are there 4, do you know?
mine hasn't seen the boys since june..and hasn't tried..he couldn't care less..dirtbag.
the first am6?
yes, thanks. A little croaky this morning, but my head is much clearer!
way to step up - loser.
* ooh! am6's? Starts looking!*
quite charitable of you LOL
Scarlet, did I miss something -- when did you get an icon?
sorry - my sister's hearing was this morning so I'm a little mouthy
Vic there are 3 ho4 and 1 ho5
quite ok..mine is tomorrow.
Oh, I'm glad to hear that. With children, you are open to many germs during the winter... part of the job, I guess. I remember!
let the rage fuel the fire LOL
i feel for your kids mom. My dad left when I was 11, forgot us very soon after. Left 4 girls without a dad. He died 2 years ago.
Okay, thanks, caitlyn!
we'll be pulling for you then :)
death is too good for my ex..i want him to live long enough to reap his rewards.
ty ang.
I guess so... but it's frustrating when I have my workbench set up and can't work for sneezing!
Hi, caitlyn. I love your icon. LOL
my soon to be ex brother in law decided that since my sister wasn't giving him what he needed, he would try it with my 15 year old niece
He will mom Im sure he will
lock him up for good
low life...did they put him in jail
your mouth to God's ears cait..
nope, not so much as a night.
Oh God Angela he needs to be castrated
where are you ang??? i see a US flag
amongst other things cait, but I'm a firm believer that what comes around goes around.
I'm in NH
Stid, I just got so tired of being a Luddite... I went to the directions in the edit section of my account, and walked myself through it. I owe Dorens a big hug when I "see" her, because she told me I could do it. It was time! LOL
and they didn't lock him up?? i am shocked...
he has a myspace page with a pic of her on it that says she's his daughter and "words cannot express"...uh, yeah.
good for you! and for Dorens. :-)
nope, can't get a straight story on why either.
that is staturtory rape
There is such low life around and they call them animals..animals dont behave that way
I'm not surprised
he should be registered as a sex offender
He should be and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of why he hasn't been yet.
g'day
i would have to put a bullet in his head..just for the sport of it.
Thankfully, it didn't get that far but far enough
Hey Nutty
i wish you and your family the best..that is a hard thing to go through
There is a line that has formed for that
Hi evan
hello nut -- conversation's a bit intense at the moment... *feeling very helpless and sad*
i am sure ang...
sorry stid..we will lighten it up, ok?
what? why? be not alone...i'm totally on edge
sssoooo...how about those METS?
Just dont talk about spiders again!!LOL
hi kittychan, Christy got you added before I did
sorry - didn't meant to start a heavy conversation
LOL mom! no -- I recognize how important it is to talk about these things. They just make me a bit scared and nervous. Don't know why.
ok..maybe i should actually look for words in the grid, instead of yapping.
hello pen -- kitty was on a little while ago..
is there anyone from the Portland, Or
I have to run anyway. Thanks for letting me vent and good luck tomorrow Mom
{{{Angela}}} be well.
ty ang....
Portland OR area here. I may be relocating there in a few months
thanks - bye
bye ange
So long, Angela... prayers and hugs.
stid..they are every mother's nightmare, that is why they make you nervous
Angela my prayers are with you and your family..take care
kittychan, I believe you know freyasings
ok, on pedophiles lemme share this. i dated a wonderful guy in hs. people joked we would marry...now he is sitting in jail for 8 years for things that make me wanna puke.
well doxy, I'll be visiting portland in 2 months LOL just looking up flights!
oh nut -- just shows we can't really know, can we?
evan..close call.
thankfully, you got away
Will you really Atalante? Wanna just trade cards then? I live only a bit north of there!
that's what i'm saying...they get away with it because they seem normal
evan lets hope he stays there
he'll be out in about 2 years
i NEVER EVER EVER would have guessed my ex would have turned out to be the loser he is, breaks my heart
where are you stidmama???!
The worst part is, the law seems to be more on the side of the perp than the victim
Yay for Portland babblers! There are a bunch of us.
near olympia Washington, about 120 miles north of Portland
Hi nan..I agree with you
oh wow!
well, to be fair, he never physically abused the boys..but he sure does mentally...left them sitting on the stoop on their birthdays waiting for him and he never showed...
among other things.
how far are you from Mt St H? I went there last year :)
He doesnt deserve them mom
about 60 miles. Haven't been there in years, but I hear it has recovered nicely.
Just looked at your icon Atalante -- you really should feed that cat!
mom -- sounds like one of my grandfathers -- a real gem.
you are right cait...and tomorrow, i will try to make sure, he doens't have any rights to them anymore.
that cat has POINTY teeth!
its a beautiful place, very starkly beautiful though. I'm thinking of flying into Seattle and driving down - for a bit of variation!
Okay as resident bartender I think we all need a drink
sad thing is, i was dating this guy, the boys loved and him them..then he needed "space"..the boys miss him.
lol doesn't she just! she looks so silly when she yawns!
ok cait...colado's anyone??
ooh! that would be a bit of a drive after such a long flight, but if you wanted, we could meet up!
the last re5/10 please
anyone near NY??? love visitors!
I have three H 4 words... what is the last H please?
pad to put grease onagain
long drive, yes, but shorter than hanging around in Atlanta / Chicago / Fort Worth for hours waiting for a connecting flight to Portland!
thaks caitlyn, keep missing the obvious
i still missed it LOL
*thanks, even
icky -- I hear that! :-) well, let me know what you decide, would love to meet you in person!
stid ho5/12
stidmama, ho5/12 add a con. to the 4 before it
we might even pull off a Seattle or Portland gathering!
thanks caitlyn *looking*
wow yes! I'll certainly keep you in touch with my plans :)
got it. That was amazingly obvious... *facepalm*
Ata is it cold enough for you?
how many today?
143
oh don't cait! isnt it FREEZING!
143 today
love your icon, caitlyn!
thanks all
The snow is on its way
tuff one
braves??...ah..the enemy LOL
Thanks Une
hello Uneaixoise!
hey, stid!
I wanna play the icon game... brb
play the game stid
out do me
the enemy will be good again this year momof
Hey THEmonster! How ya doin?
rocker used to kill me...
lol
Great icon evan!!
mets better go all the way this year...last year was so anti-climatic!
like....68...you do me, i will owe you LOL (sorry)
the mets were by far the best team in the NL last year - a shame to watch all their pitchers get hurt near the end
couldln't resist
yeah, it was....reyes..wright...loduca...amazin g
sounds intriguing mom!
i haven't followed off season..don't even know how we are doing in the pitching area...
okay, back with funny icon.
hopefully pedro will be back, glavine will be back too
LOL nut! yours is better...
LOL stid...It is so true!!
the way we went down that last game...to watch the ball go by...ouch...
i thought we had it clinched after ....omg..can't think of his name,...robbed that homerun over the fence
only have 33 left, but off for the list -- totaly stuck
oh yeah - that was an unbelieveable catch, best I have ever seen
that was a career making play for him.
I am down to 48, and not far behind, nan!
i can't believe i can't think of his name...
36 left!
this is going to annoy me...
three more words and I will have my hundred and will get the list. *frowning and staring at grid*
anybody up for putting on some diapers, grabbing a mallet and some pepper spray, picking up a rubber hose, grabbing the wig and trenchcoat, and driving 900 miles?
sure, why??
0 left!!LOL
oh..the military chick?
road trip!!!!
seriously - that is the craziest thing of all time....wow
Did that on my last vacation . .
tr6/27 please
neat! one of the pictures i had taken for my BF is already being used on a DJs promo flier! hah -- im a model and i didnt even really try to be!
i just saw that yesterday..how do you throw away a career like that?
lol torgone
how do you throw away a whole life of accomplishment and integrity and motherhood like that?
clue for the ao5?
tr6 a lovely dessert
how do you throw away going up into space like that!
Follow your heart doxie . .That's what I always do . .
seriously brave..no one is worth that.
thanks tor, was going the wrong way
YAY caitlyn!
logically..if the guy was into her, then she needn't worry about any other woman..if he wasn't into her, then why throw away her career?
yeah, really wierd - guy must have some kind of magic mojo going
brb, have to load some more laundry
I don't think logic had much to do with it, momof3.
obviously vic LOL
was it chavez that made the catch brave?
but she wasn't being logical. I suspect she will get an evaluation and be found insane. She is too intelligent for it to have come from a normal thought process.
agree with you vicuna...still, its a 900 mile drive...don't you think at some point you would say "OMG, what am I doing?"
I'm sure it seemed like the right idea to her, or she wouldn't have done it!
logically, if youve been married for 19 years, maybe you shouldnt be trying to kidnap women over another man...
yes, endy chavez momof
am 6? -- have the explosive
dont get me started on the insanity thing.
i wonder if its gonna raise any red flags about NASA's evaluation process...
wwwaaaayyyyy overused.
Or what NASA training does to you...
may be evan
explosive, nan? *looking*
we don't really need wackos in something like NASA that is for sure...how about her poor kids?
what about the wacko's that TEACH our children?
then, sleep with them..
and have babies with them>>>
My children are being taught by great people!
and 900 miles...ya gotta stop for gas at least twice...why the diapers? that is really wigged out
she probably isnt a "wacko". she was probably stressed and had a moment of completely illogicality
brb..puppy peed on the floor...ugh
a moment I can understand, but 900 miles has to take at least 12 or 13 hours....
moments can last a while
is that a word Atalante
Yeah, I've been having a bad hair moment for the past 4 years.
which one, pab??!
my kids are being taught by good people too...but you never know..
lol vic.
MOST people are not abusive or exploitive. MOST teachers are kind, professional people. MOST astronauts are intelligent, driven people who would never do anything to jeopardize their careers. But we don't hear about the good, kind, ambitious and normal folks!
a little more help with the tr6 clue please, lovely dessert doesn't quite do it for me, i can think of too many and then i get sidetracked :)
i think the insanity plea is abused
may I have an i word from the center tile?
right on stid..they don't sell medie
pabtrek: that word also means "a piddling little amount"
I agree, mom, but it is also a very valid thing for some people
a tiny word
I know, momof, I only meant to point out that we must be careful not to forge tthat most teachers are doing a great job, and only a few are criminally messed up.
pab dont tr...with my affections
some people atal...
thanks stidmama
i know vic..and i agree..did you see the email about denzel???
and caitlyn
pab, tr6 - Don't tr6 with a woman's affectioN!
yes, but for them it is utterly valid
that was a surprise last word
wasn't expecting that
that is why it upsets me, atal..the people that abuse it, ruin it for the people who are legit.
oh - yes. I agree totally
okay, got the io4, what is the other i from the center tile please?
there are a lot of endings that don't tell the truth today!
my 3 y/o is ssssoooo friggin cute...i want to bite him
YAY pabtrek! *~*~*~*FIREWORKS*~*~*~*
thanks stidmama
congrats stid!!!
congrats, pabtek
no -- fireworks for pabtrek, 44 left for stid!
thanks cybernan
Well, I sat on a stump and I sat her on my lap She said "Wait a minute bud you oughta see my pap He's got a sixteen-gauge choked back like a ***** He don't like a man that's a goin' to ******
Congats pab!!
what doug??? LOL
thanks caitlyn
momof3, email about denzel? Are we talking Washington? Are we talking sent to me? I didn't know Denzel and I were that close! lol, no idea what you're talking about, so I guess the answer to your question is "No."
Yay pabtrek
ROFL douglas! two words with one rhyme! well done!
It's a verse from "Shotgun Boogie" by Tennessee Ernie Ford
vic...getting to the fact that good deeds don't get publicized...he financed a hospital for the military...
the email told about it and had pics with soliders.
I am just in awe of folks like you douglas who can remember things like that. I am SO not a "verbatim" or rote memorization type gal!
didn't see it in the papers or on the news, though
Ahh. Okay. Now I get it! :)
never heard the verse doug...sorry
Time for me to get some supper ready...as we are going to be snowed in tomorrow i hope the grid is bigger than todays!!(Sorry )
I would be surprised if you had heard the song...it came out in the 50's...
i am a country fan...but not that far back...
Hi everyone
caitlyn -- hope you have everything you need so you don't have to go out in the snow... stay warm!
check out the new flag!
i am a big 50's fan..love elvis...beatles..tom jones.. andy williams
I like Tennessee Ernie Ford, my mother had some records when I was a kid. He had the nicest deep voice!
{{{{{{{KATE!!!!!}}}}}}} you're home!

hi all

hello Ping!
hi stid!
it's ****ing freezing here and I feel like I'm on another planet, but things are going alright, the money is finally in my bank account so I'm starting to build my new life
(still need another I from the center before I can grab the list...) I have the io4... what is the other?
good for you kate. I know it's been really cold back there.
There was a clue in a NYT crossword that said "'Sixteen Tons' singer's workplace." There were lots of people who were not familiar with that song visiting Crossword Bebop, so I played a Tennessee Ernie Ford song, but I thought everyone knew "Sixteen Tons," so I played "Shotgun Boogie"
lo 4 ? (the monkeys quit) -- have bread, and 2 that differ only in the last letter -- missing?
gotta go..my little man is sweet talking me into cuddling with him...an offer i can't refuse.

Is there a sight in "Friends of Babble" that tells you stuff like which of the "r"'s or "o"'s words start with, or how long they are?

Well, all babbled out. Bye have had a wonderful time. : )
Bye M P
I really am trying not to get the list but its hard ...
It's not an easy grid today, you nearly got run over yesterday, you had a hangover this morning. Don't you deserve to be nice to yourself?
not when I only have 11 left LOL
Ah well, there is that. But they could be 11 unheard of, impossible to guess at words...
need to take break bbl
I'm sure they are!
morning! :)
Good morning klaurel.
Morning - fan of Adam Baldwin are we?
you could maybe help me though by telling me how many L, M and A 6s there are .... please?
3 a6 words
*groan* there would be!
Yes, Chip, I would gladly take him to my bed. . . :)
dang, i have AM6x2
One lazy shoe lo6
A single ma6/21
ty! I'm missing an A6 then. Yuk
I'll be sure to let him know if I see him
haz -- is my missing A6 another Am6?
One a6 is familiar territory for babble, the other two are new to me.
aha monkeyed it :)
am6/21, am6/24
You do that, Chip! :)
Sitting here watching Cinderella III
i have those -- i was asking about the 3rd A6
at6/18 is the other a6
clue?
It's descriptive of at5/10 - the plural heart chamber?
torgone -- if you go to the courthouse, you may witness a t****
I guess . .Now how about that clue???? jk Got it-Thanks!
Now . .that am6/24?
7!
am6/24 resembles in structure and sound the US railway company.
am - think of a r***road train
toil
oops!!
You're a dear, Haz . .
Thank you, torgone. I was one of the girls fighting over you - do I go to the top of the list now?
Of course . .
dont tell hurshy that!!
Feeling very triumpant.....
ouch! Anyone gonna kiss my boo-boo? I was doing so well and then I hit a brick wall :(
She's not talking to me . .
triumphant - so elated I can't spell any more!
MEMEMEME!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXX
hurshy isnt? what did you do to her!
She's giving you the cold shoulder? Some females are so fickle.
3!
Come on Atalante, three more pushes......
getting there! trying!
Which is roughly what they were saying to me 20 years ago today - it's my daughter's birthday.
LOL!
Evening/Morning :)
2!
Hello FMitch - just in time to cheer Atalante to the finish post.
WTG Ata 14 left here
Oh, it's exciting - will FMitch pip Atalante at the post???
probably!
Definately not Ata has the finish line in sight, Im struggling!
so am i!
Of course I finished HOURS and HOURS ago, but don't let that get you down.
hello. me again. can i get a different clue for the tr6 please....
Evening Peeps, I'm a new North Easterner - any tips for the Z words - I am sooooo stuck :-(
"raca" should be a word. In the Bible it says that people aren't supposed to say "raca" to each other because it's a sort of expletive like "you fool!" still, if we can have french poop... I think we should be able to have Jewish fools...
Madame Listy Haz! :)
although, that could be with 2 c's... nm
*muttering about smart alecs under my breath*
tr6 - put a t before a weapon to find a dessert that will play with your affections.
OH YEA!!!!
thanks haz!
It's reverse psychology! Get them mad, and inspire them to new heights.....
groil
how many A5s are there?
zo4 - add a vowel to a girl's name. Then make it descriptive for zo5. The resulting word will be zo plus a rearranged type of alcohol.
My uncle used to do that . .It worked but I wanted to punch his fat face ..
Hi Blood what was the icon theme that you wanted to suggest earlier
3 a5 words
thanx Haz - I'm working on them...
hmmmmm
Thank goodness I'm at a safe distance from FMitch and Atalante then! I finished hours ago but only because I used the list and all available resources....
hey all! I'm NOT babbling today (trying to go cold turkey - lol) just came on to remind you about Oprah!!
I hate Ts. I'm missing a T5
oh gee...i forgot all about that already FM. um...oh yea, my theme is "Things that do NOT go with Nutella"
6
LOL Blood
White clothes don't go with Nutella.
blood... sad to say, almond butter does not go very well with nutella... it totally should, but alas, doesn't really. just fyi
haha..that's right haz.
OMG - I heard a great story involving nutella this morning . .too long for here though . .
trial
oh Gone, you like to string us along, don't you?
well i thought of it because i had just discovered that Nutella and french bread don't go too well together either.
It's a tad gross . . .something to do with taking **samples**
fireworks
You surprise me, Bloodaxe, I thought it would.
gosh, I so don't want to know. thanks for keeping it to yourself!
congrats Klaurel!
Yea red I'll pass on that one too
evening all
i thought it would too Haz...imagine my disappointment. hello ren
i thought it would too Haz...imagine my disappointment.
Says FMitch who disgraced herself yesterday.
anyone need a clue before I head out? have to get my son from school and take him to teh doctor
1!

Hi Blood
cheers klaurel
Hi ren - and congratulations klaurel.
ZA + Princess Renaldi from Princess Diaries
Hello Haz, is it cold enough for you
I didn't - it was just a very unfortunate typo honestly!!!
We'll believe you this time!
thanks kl.
:P to you ren! Dang its toooooo cold
ren - it's REALLY cold! There's snow forecast as well which I hate....
and how cold is it Haz? I probably got you beat
Oh I'm sure you have - we're wimps over here.
We currently have a FIVE day high of 7 degrees, -8 if you count windchill and we had 5 inches of snow yesterday
Hi Klaurel. HazI don't think it will snow, I think they are covering their backs after the load of snow we got 2 weeks ago and they did not forecast it
Yesterday I sent my child to school in -10 with a -31 windchill
time for some homework..bbl.
enjoy,. blood
Bye Blood
okay, anyone need another clue before I take off?
help on the z's pls?
Well I hope you are right ren8 as you are the next county south to me (Berks)
dirty dozen left.. hi everyone.
za + Princess *** Renaldi
Bye Bloodaxe - glad to see you're taking your studies seriously.
ZO + the first two vowels
Hello Aloy.
I did not see princess diaries sorry
ZO 4 + but add a letter to make it sound like a slippery fish
Hey Aloy, hows things with you?
FMitch believe me, they are just preparing us for the worst. I admire the Americans before they have far worse winters than us and they just get on with it, we grind to a halt
ZA + Mama ***
thanks klaurel!
I can't find this last word! ARGH!
Hello Aloy
Deep cleansing breaths, Atalante.....
whoops, ZO + first two vowels, not in order
which is it, ATA?
What is it?
Hi Haz and FM: very very sad day; we lost our 12 yr old Lab early this morning. Sorry to cloud the chat box, but .. :-(
have to run and pick up my son from kindergarten- bbl!
oh, not ALL Americans, ren, just those of us up north with nasty winters. The Southerners stop when there is a flurry
oh no :(:(:(
Oh dear, Aloy - I knew the dog was ill. That's sad.
sorry, aloy! :(
and now, time to go get MY sone from school
ttyl
Bye ypsigirl
Bye klaurel.
Oh Aloy, so sad to hear that, at least there is no more pain.
(((Aloy)))
I forget America is such a big country, don't mean to tarr you all with the same brush Klaurel
yes.. and if there is a doggie heaven, he is there, romping once again.:-(
((((Aloy))))
ty all for your kind support... babble is a nice respite, so let's babble on!
aloy, had to put our 16 year old chow down last week, know how you must feel, very sorry
aww Aloy Im so sorry
62/17 and sunny here, ren8 ..
you're mean torgone!
lucky you torgone, we cannot really moan here as we have not really had a cold winter until now
Wyrd, I'm sorry for your loss, too.. :-(
thanks Aloy, it definitely ruined our day, thats for sure
lear
are there any *really* weird T5s?
I"M SOOOOOO SORRY
DIdn't mean that guys and gals
50 lashes with a wet noodle, ishbalin..
Atalante - there are two tr5 words, one entirely normal, the other exactly the same except for the last vowel. Does that ring any bells?
WOWOW Aloy come on
1850's
So sorry to hear the news from Aloy and Wyrd. It's tough
Atalante, I think the one you need sounds like a cough syrup
you know, 26 left and I'm just not feelin' it. my brain is definitely broken today.
got those .... and a chemical tr 5/10
ty, JFB..
Oh, Aloy and Wyrd... so sad to lose such good friends... I am deeply sorry for you and your families.
The only other really weird tr5 starts off with three, and has an ending associated with a Milanese football team (tr5/12
so sorry aloy and wyrd
hi all and jfb
yes, Haz... that is the one that reminds me of the cough syrup
Hi MVA
Hello MVA
American cough syrups must be different!
day off jfb? hi ren8
darn me for not liking cough syrup!
ty, scarlet and MVA and JFB..
Day off today and tomorrow
Atalante - not weird, but do you have the dressmaker's try out? to5/10
hack, hack, rhyming clue
*pounces* no! I dont!
if it snows we may have the day off too, but only 1-2 inches forecast
It comes half-way between the work and the worker...
hello Babblers, I need but four more words, but need to comment on the weather stuff first. WE northerners may complain about the cold etc. but I wouldnt want to live without snow. When all is covered in white and peaceful there is total bliss.
Fireworks finally!!
oh PFFFFFFFF!
ty!
One daughter lives near Syracuse, NY, and they are battling more than four and a half feet of snow.
Well done! A photo finish I think!!
yay fmitch!
Secondly, we should take up torgone on his "invitation" and have an international babbler convention in San Diego to enjoy his weather
man... I am so out of it today! *stares off in the distance in a foggy haze having nothing to do with the weather*
After threatening us with snow it looks like all we'll get is rain. As usual!
yay FMitch!
WTG, FMitch!
yay, wahoo, FMitch!!!
wtg finishers
well done FMitch
congrats Ata Hi MVA Thanks guys, must go and get a cup of tea back in a mo
Congrats, Atalante. I didn't know you had finished!
What a god idea. I'll do the same FMitch!
just! and just about listless though not clueless!
congrats to Atalante, too!!!
yay Ata!
Well done Atalante!
congrats Ata
congrats atalante!
LOL, Ata...never!
some weird weird words today
You're right, there.
Is that yawning cat your baby, Ata? What a shot! LOL
yes, she is :) she always looks so silly when she yawns!
Hilarious. I love cats, and mine runs the house.
mine tries to ...
Mine is from the FBI... the Feline Bureau of Instigation
too many phantom words today. CAn't focus on the real ones. later kids.
Bye redshoes!
See you, redshoes
bye, redshoes.. fresh eyes do help!
bye redshoes
mine tries to run the household, then gets squashed when my spaniel flops on hers. then she retreats for a while to restore her dignity
Bye Redshoes
My phantom has been a Babbler: Lizmac. We have talked of getting a dog from the rescue shelter, but not yet... maybe in the summer.
Down to 2. I am so frustrated I poured coffee into my pencilsharpener thinking it was my cup. Now that I have cleaned up, can I gt help with re 5/10? I have the one that rekindles
Lubricate again, inge, re5/10
Lubricate, again
Hello everyone!
Hi, GingerUK!
Ata, one of my fav pics of Hobbit is her sitting the basket on the back seat of the car - love it.
Thanks Scralet, adn Haz, I typed it in even though I still dont see it.
Hello Ginger - long time since I last spoke to you.
Hey Ginger long time no see, how are you?
Evening Ginger
hi ginger
Hi Haz... isn't it funny how life has a habit of taking over!
You let life take over babble? Brave woman! How have you been?
I have a photo of my very large tiger cat crouched in a laundry basket with the sun shining on her whiskers... heart-melting.
I'm doing ok thanks.... it has been a while but I found my way back! How are you both (Haz and FMitch)?
I'm well - still on maternity leave 23 years after the happy event...
inge: it starts with the right, lower "r", over, up, and over and down.
LOLOL me too 25 years after but in that time I repeated the thing another 5 times!!!!
Haz I like that reply, I wish I could still be on maternity leave
Can you put it up as an icon sometime Scarlet. Dong fine thanks Ginger not babbling as much as I would like as work does rear it's ugly head from time to time lol
I only managed two in that time, you're obviously much more productive, Ginger! I'm happy dabbling in things at home and in the surgery a bit.
Haz is it my namesakes birthday?
I'd like to, FMitch. Can I get it done on disk at the photo processor? Someone with more computer savvy will have to help with it.
Yes, it is. She is 20 today. I no longer have teenagers...
Haz, happy birthday to your daughter!
happy birthday to your daughter haz!
a little too productive but I wouldn't swat.... cept when they interfere with my PC time!! Oldest is 25 in may youngest is 6
Thank you - I was speaking to her earlier today (she's at university in Edinburgh) and she was trying to come to terms with being so old! Give me a minute and I'll put up a picture..
Wonderful!
HAz named her youngest girl "Mitch"? *grin* happy birthday Haz!

sorry!!!!!!!
what a lovely looking girl you have there Haz
I enjoyed the latest chapter stid, I check daily so I dont miss anything
She's the entertainer in the family - a very droll sense of humour.
Congratulations, inge! Haz, Fiona is beautiful! thanks, FMitch, I'll try it.
beautiful name, too, Haz..
Lovely pic Haz, obviously takes after her mother :))
She has a wry smile . .
thanks inge -- I will be more consistent now I hope. Though things are just "hopping" around here constantly!
Looking at her just makes me wish she was here.... She resembles me but is MUCH better looking!
maybe you should get an isolation booth for writing
Working the Galway concert tonight. Worked the rehearsal this morning. I think the flute is my favorite instriment
{{{Haz}}} hard to watch our kids go on their own paths, isn't it? I have trouble just when one of them has an after-school activity without me!
*instrument
Oh, you lucky creature! James Galway...ooooh.
James Galway is one of our prouder exports from Northern Ireland!
James Galway? I remember listening to his music when I was in high school. What a great concert to go to!
I have his album of Japanese flute melodies -- one of my favorites, really. Hello all btw
Hi, ch1212
stidmama - I think it's only when you have children of your own that you appreciate your own parents! You raise them to be independent, but hope the invisible bonds of love are there to bring them back.
Hello ch1212!
*tears* Haz
hi ch!
the open rehearsal was for 100 students from the HS for Performing Arts and 30 members of our DSO civic orchetra. When Galway first faced the audience he waved to the kids like a little leprechaun. Afterwrds he gave them autographs and smiles
Good man - he has never forgotten his roots, and we love him for it.
hello everyone
so cool!
Your daughter is beautiful Haz. My youngest is 20 as well.
Hi, magzel.
The conductor Hans Graf is Austrian, and made an excellent impression
Thanks JFB - it must have been a productive year!
giving up for the night, some light snow!!!!!
hi scarlet, still cold where i am
wow, there certainly was a plethora (big word there) of weirdo words today.. fireworks. Adieu to you all until tomorrow, fellow babblers.. thanks for all the hugs and support... it helped! :-)
*quietly passes tissue box to Haz*
YAY Aloyisius! adieu!
Thank you FMitch - Scarlet might need one also!
Much warmer here, today. Goodnight, billmster. We hit 51-degrees after a week of sub-zero wind chill.
Hi Billmster, ch1212 & Magzel
sweet dreams, billmster!
Aloy - congratulations and sympathy again.
ra4/4? I have the homophones . .
Bye Aloy, glad to have seen you.
Time to pack in for today. Happy babbling and see you tomorrow.
(I hate asking for 4's)
ra plus another couple of vowels - a bit of a babblet.
Bye JFB
Til another day,Aloy. You'll be on my mind.
Bye JFB.
'Bye, JFB
good night JFB
hm. think I'd best find out why Aloyisius needs support ... brb
Thanx again Haz . .
You're welcome, torgone.
That's fireworks for me. Will return later to help with clues if needed -- I have to get dinner started. I'm thinking a thick stew -- it was 7 BELOW zero F this morning - brrr
Good going, ch1212. Stew sounds good.
Wrap up warm! Congratulations, ch1212.
And I should head off as well. It's been nice to see familiar names again. Have a good day, all and see you tomorrow.

'Bye, magzel.
See you later Magzel
AM 6/24 please?

Think of our train line from Wash. D.C. to Florida, Stid, minus the "k"
ive got the jackie chan ma7 clue can I have another clue for the other one please
thanks scarlet!
*facepalm* that was clued WAY earlier, and I thought it was for something else...
The man who wooed Cleopatra, with a c instead of a k for the last letter, and Ms. Blanchette, with the fourth vowel ending
YW, Stid.
Last re5/10?
Lubricate again, tor
Yup thanx . .
YW
10 second rule . .

hiya!
Hello, feather.
HI, feather!
Hello Featjer
vic, one of my favorite larson cartoons!
sorry Feather
hey feather! {{{{{hugs}}}}} how are you doing? I have another virus (this one's a cold rather than flu) how are you coping with "snot-nosed kid" season?
got a snotty one right now, poor kid! it's moved to his chest, so he's coughing and sounds horrible
oh {{{Daniel}}} poor baby!
we're watching max and ruby right now. i don't want him too active at the moment, as it makes it worse, so we're just chilling.
my Daniel has a cold also
aww ren
Yes, feather, it's a classic. Snotty noses are no fun. Especially when they can't even figure out how to blow their noses yet.
yep. good to have things to be quiet with. I actually let down the rules this last week, and let stidkids watch TV during the day!
{{{ren's daniel}}}
I know where you are coming from Vicuna, my son is 3
i'm lucky there. he can't blow his own, but can blow if i hold up the tissue! i'm so glad he learned that
Finished Fs, Mastered Ms...
Wow, your son is a prodigy, feather! Mine are 4 and they still have trouble with the concept!
gooo stid!
yeah. the drawback is when he does it with no tissue around.
O-O.... as in I need the OO please?
how's the grid today? nice size.
oo6/18 - oo + anagram of what Abraham Lincoln split
thanks... *thinking*
(sounds like the way you take most medicines)
not horrible, feather. I think you can do it.
oh, stid, did you see that flylady site i posted? great resource for clutter bugs like us!
hi babblers!
fran!
Hello, Fran.
ha, good icon
hi heather!
Hello Fran
stid, nut will appreciate yours too!
hi ren8!
got it. hi fran!
hi stid!
i haven't seen nut's icon yet.
hi vicuna!
yes feather, but I find her tone a bit condescending. She is one of those all-or-nothing types. But I have used some of her ideas for a while, and when I just pick and choose the ones that work it's okay.
it's very funny, fran!
aww, darn, i don't have her in my friends list! i should, then i could check on it
oh yeah, i know what you mean. for instance, i never "dress all the way to the shoes!" but i do like her motivational ideas and organization. i don't do routines either.
i have a funny story about my icon, well sorta funny
I don't do her sort of routines... LOL but my own ebb and flow works.
k...i give up...what did lincoln split?
go for it fran!
hi all...been lurkin tryin to get to 50
the things that go between posts in a fence, cathy...
i got it in an email a long time ago and the cat looks exactly like my friend's angora
(clue stealin too ....bwaaahahahaha)
Cathy, a train runs on a ----road track
and hi cathy, when did you get home from work?
they also had a leather couch and the picture looked like something my friend James would do.
oh my! and, fran?
bout 45 mins ago...babblin between cookin suppa
i emailed it to them and asked them if it was cueball in the picture
thanks for the oo!
cueball, what a great name for a white cat!
mmmm so that's what smells so good!
turned out it wasn't, but they loved the picture anyway. i'm surprised i found it when i googled for icons yesterday.
was gonna save the chattin for later, but didn't wanna miss out on that oo clue...still dunno what lincoln split...wood?
slats?
cath, think of trains
haha...stid
yes, cathy -- think of trains, the ra**road? like Vi just clued
but you have to anagram the ra4 to get the oo6
k...gotta go work it...brb
i will always remember cueball because he was the cat that made me aware that i was allergic
what kinda word is that s'posed to be anyway!?! tks for the clue tho!
oh... I am allergic to lots of cats. The ones I am most allergic to are the ones that love me most!
i walked into my friends' apartment in Germany and it felt like i was stabbed in the eye, i couldn't wear my contacts the whole time i was visiting and had to take benadryl.
i mean tks for the clueS..plural
:-) I know cathy!
ca5/12 please
stid...i LOVE that icon!
better run...bbl tho. don't wanna burn supper.
thanks Cathy -- funniest one I could find... but I think nut's is better, if she ever returns.
later cathy!
ren, pitca*** island
later cath!
ca5/12 means a heap of stones.
thanks Fran

good one too stid!
lol smd and stid! great icons!
another spelling for letter...
ADHD, alt spelling of the hebrew letter
why is it that atole is an acceptable scrabble word and not a babble word
i know adhd. yesterday it felt like all i was asking for were 5/12s
Asgreens brotherinlaw is on Oprah....
NeyMadi!!

"ney', smd?!
huh... it's arabic
can I have the clue for tr6/7 combo again please
tr6 is a small thing or a dessert ren
tr6/27 - Never tr6 with a woman's affections. If you do, you'll be a tr7.
tr7 is one who tr6s
thank you everyone
t + longbarreled gun and one who uses it
Asgreen was talking about it earlier this week and then again last night.
What's the other 7 besides the tr7 and two ma7's?

good afternoon
hi dorens!
g'day dorens
hello Dorens!
ooo i'm a nurse, embarassed i didn't get those. shame on me. at least i got the AO major heart vessel
Hi Dorens
ma7 is a music term, ma + consonant + pet that's in my icon + vowel
nice gentle grid today?
not that gentle, but not too bad dorens.
*grin* I had to look hard for the ao, I don't look up and left very often for words.
Not bad, but there are some tough spots, dorens
stid, my first babble mentor, i have to share something with you.
go for it ADHD
great icon fran. aren't there always SOME, stid?
In a good grid, there are! LOL but not too many. :-)
thanks dorens
i always see that you can get sooooo many words before going to lickety's. yesterday i got over 200 words before going t o lickety's
good job ADHD-- that is quite a feat
it stank tho, cuz there is a lag w/lickety's and i type so fast, it misses words. so it took forever to get them in.
final word ro6/27 please
good for you!
wtg ADHD, it gets easier the more you play.
ok, down to 64 left. going to take a break and reheat some leftovers.
ro 6: one who massages?
ren8, one who ro4/7s
ro 6: a puker
one who ro 4/7's
see you later heather!

(fran, we need to play scrabble again sometime!)
later feather
or one who is laughiing at an email joke or im, last two letters interposed
someday heather!
ooooo other scrabble players? my other home is scrabulous.com the absolute BESTEST scrabble site on the web.
haven't gone there adhd, or maybe i have, we play at atariplay
fireworks, thank you for all your clues today
yay ren8!
gooooooooo ren!
scrabulous.com is only 2-player games isn't it?
yay ren8!
sooooo many players at scrabulous have come from other sites and prefer scrabulous. a really nice community, like this one. the site belongs to 2 brothers. i love it there and have brought players here too.
hooray ren8
for now it is only 2-player, but they will be multiple.
nite everyone and keep warm, see you all tomorrow
that have scrabble robots (computer vs. human) and strategy scrabble, and scrabble solo.
we usually have more than two players, that's why we play at atari.
strategy is cool cuz you can see each other's tiles.
then i will definitely check out atari.
interesting, i'll have to check it out again, i think i have an account already.
okay folks, going to go do some other stuff
see you all later or tomorrow!
later fran
bye fran
okay, I am heading out too -- need a nap before the kids get home. see you tomorrow or later!
i've been a scrabbler since first grade (w/my mom). i hadn't played in over 10 years (since she died). i first found ISC, but the players were so competetive and mean-spirited i left. found scrabulous and love it. it's a really nice site and the developers play, as does their dad. open communication, etc.
have a good snooze stid. if i'm awake (yeah right at 1am) maybe we'll meet at the flipppppp.
bye fran, stid
may i have a clue for the first RA4/4 (and No, i am NOT blonde)
ADHD i played scrabble, a LOT of scrabble, over at ISC and I agree, there were some really nasty people there. this is a much friendlier site.
by the way, hi all
hi babbz
gotta change my icon after that pathetic superbowl show sunday!
hi madi
I am blonde, and it's ra + How do you solve a problem like Mar--
scrabulous is like babble. such nice folks. the features r good too... like pause and add more time (good for potty breaks and snacks, phone calls, etc.)
how r u babbz
i don't like the tile distribution or rating system at ISC, nor the layout of the site, which is very primitive. plus it doesn't have any special features. take a peak at scrabulous, you'll be quite pleased.
afternoon all
hello asg
not meant to be offensive vic, really. my other half is blonde (and brilliant) lol

Is Madi95 out there
Lots of dingus words today ..
hey there adhd i had to leave abruptly but I'm back. Were you looking for some sort of site? I think someone else mentioned a scrabble site scrabulous
or6?
found what i was looking for from Dorens: morewords.com
Madi95?
back again! i'm only 43 words in though =/... time for some mind racking
i mentioned scrabulous... i love that site. it used to take up all my time until i found this site.
go bnlboy.
ahh that was how i was on that internet scrabble club
i hate ISC
i brought so many people from ISC over to Scrabulous, now I'm getting people from Scrabulous to play babble also
i found this site and never went back. People were nasty there - most of them, anyway.
that's what i s aid earlier. nasty mean-spirited far too competitive for my taste
lol you're a recruiter ADHD
scrabulous has pause, add more time, and so many great features... i just love it
really? that is crumby...who wants to deal with nasty people in person, forget about in cyberspace!!
i know... you'd think it was MY site lol
everyone was so blasted concerned with their ratings
my sentiments exactly mom
i have to try scrabulous.
can anyone clue the or6?
yes true and the tile distribution was whacky
sure or6 is a bird or team Baltimore or****
crap. fish. thanks
my name there is the same as here
i must be spelling that bird / team wrong, cause i am not getting it
no thanks. no fish for me tonight.
on the isc?

rough grid (so it seems to me)
i am missing a g. I have all gr's: 4/7, 5/16, 5/14, 4/6 x2. any clues for the missing one?
i'm still trying to figure out how the rankings work, tho it won't do me any good cuz the first day i played, i came in late and didn't come close to finishing... didn't even know the players were ranked. oh well
gr: your mother's mother
missing a gr4/7
gr5/16 your mother's mother
I have the mom's mom 4 and 5. is there another one?
This is embarassing, but does anyone have the ai5,10? I KNOW it's gonna slap me on the forehaead with it's giant , wet tail
gr 4/7 gr**m's fairy tales
the ao, is part of the heart
a + italian stuffed pasta rav****
if that helps.
i'm entering words in lickety's, brb
oh...thank you!
see y'all later if i'm awake. gotta go. need any more dispatch? you helped me out bunches.
i didn't know that!!! no wonder i confused everyone earlier!!! silly me!
oooh, pasta, you're makin' me hungry!! 8-)
bye adhd
does pro give you a system that makes it so lickety's thing is on this page?
BN, nope!
i'm off to my son's house for dinner. (he's around the corner 0.9 mi. away)
no bnlboy
any clues quickly?
thanks wordlover
i need to figure out how to use lickity
dang, have a good dinner adhd
bye adhd....tell him to cook on pampered chef LOL
it's easy mom.. you'll get it
*fireworks*
bbl :) :) :) :)
honestly, i haven't even tried it yet.
wtg rie
the last time i saw fireworks, was the last time i saw my boyfriend LOL
lol mom!
thanks, mom. now it's off to dinner. *wave*
congrats riemann...enjoy dinner
got another il word, il4/4 again, just like the other il4/4 but a different third letter
in fact, now that i think about it..i miss him LOL i should call him
ty feath
any idea on the il5?
working on it prism
did stidmama leave?
aha, add a letter to the il4/4 i just clued
hey everyone
[[STID....WHERE R U?]]
hey hellen
feather, i don't have either li 4...could you clue again? not getting the "again" clue
hee, cute icon helen
heya hk
i have both il 4, but can't figure out what extra letter you are talking about.
lol feather
on the il 4 (the 2nd one) add an extra letter for the il5
ok, let's see what the nutster came up with . . .
is there a hint for zo 5/20?
il with an extra letter rhymes with someone who is stark staring raving insane
nm...i have the i l. my eyes are bad and i thought you were clueing l i. oh my goodness. is it friday yet???
well...down to 46...but...too tired to sit here
look at the points mom, how many points does that last letter need to be if all hte others are one pointers?
looksee hk...i have an arsenal if i've been beat
dont know how to do the points thing, feath
nutty - very cute
zo5, take the zo4 and add a concosant
who else is excited about LOST tonight????
(concosant?) consonant!
if it's a 5 letter word, you add up all the points on the tiles, and multiply the total by 2
nutty - see, i concede to your superior funniness :)
are there any Daleks on Lost? No? not excited then LOL
thankee....has anyone beat me yet> prism: yes and no....you see, i watch it when it comes out on dvd.
i am!!!!! i am excited about lost!! finally
so you know you already have 4 points from that il4/4...to make it a 5/12, it needs to add up to 6 points before being multiplied by 2 to get 12. so if you already have 4, and need 6....
lost? when is it on???
That's how I got hooked Evan & then watched this years on abc.com
instead i should watch idol, when is it on?
tonight? ack! glad someone said that!
Tonight!
feath..i am a dope.
2 hours of it tonight, feather
yay!!!!!!!!!
it's ok mom!
oooooooh! i wish i'd seen the first half of the season
i have no idea how you guys even know the second letter in the words you ask clues for..i just read the clues that pop up and follow along..lol
in 2 hours a special with the directors is on, then in 3 hours the actual show is on
oh, yeah nut, they left it on such a cliffhanger too!
nut - i'm going to tape the 'lost', cause it's also conflicting with 'medium' for me & i really like that show - gee i wish my guy was like her husband - now there's a make believe hubby if i ever saw one :)
It is the best and worst of try-outs at 7:00
mom, we know the second letter and the points from using lickety's
i would probably do good if i had a clue how to help myself out...i get about half the words myself.. then more with the chat clues..l
last i saw was chipmunk, i mean jack and the others tied up on the dock.
cali - yep, i think that idol will be great tonight
looking foward to it
seven? yo umean right now???
i should be playing around in studyspanish.com, not here ! LOL
in fact, maybe i will be a responsible individual and do just that....
nut - much weirdness has occured since then - i think the plot line is to confuse watchers so much that why won't have to ever explain anything at all
*sigh* there is a dorm meeting i have to attend... at least there's free pizza! i'll be back momentarily
feeding the woodburner
brb
8 central
ohhhh pizza
gl all...bbl...after i fry my brain on spanish.

ma 4/5 before mans name?
but anyway, how do you know you're missing a word that begins with a certain two-letter combination? my stat window only appears to tell me how many words i need that begin with a certain single letter.
Hi Ping.
try "lickety's babble clues" link under friends of babble, char
i need d last 7 letter word I hav d ma36 and the ma32 and the to28
http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues.html
Hi Peoples....
ahhh. thanks.
Charolastra--scroll down to the sources below and go to lickety's clues
charo, click on the tiny green link way at the bottom of this page called "Lickety's Clues" and you will see all the 2-letter clues
re + self r****nt (independant)
char...i open another window so that i have this grid and lickety's clues open at the same time.
I recommend that you ignore Lickety's main page and use the "Printable" page -- red link at the top
hey smd
ma 4/5 (before man's name)
ma 4 rhymes with the stuff on your head that gets permed, spelled the same

hello nonnie!
It's hard to choose, but Babanon gives more information on the lengths of words, and breakdown of the letters
oh, i didn't realize that
I didn't either...I'll have to check it out.
And there is a lot more to read in that site, some very interesting items
hi all, i'm back. i had asked for a clue to the ai5/10, then had to leave before i saw the clue. anyone care to reclue me?
I'm becoming braver, i did 2 grids (both small), with no list. It was challenging but fun. The only downside was I felt like I was pestering people on the chat.
wb feather
ai + rav***i (pasta)
Ack! I have to stop cluing. ravi***
sheesh, with that many vowels, no wonder i didn't see it. thanks.
Ack! I have to stop cluing. ravi***

I really enjoyed it Leslie, it was just so foreign to me.
I'm off to bed now, goodnight
can I have clues for the ca6/24 lousy puzzle tonite
lori--I never think of the giving & taking of clues as a bother. Someone usually asks for something I still need so I find it to be helpful.
G'night Ex. Sleep tight.
Good night, ExWren

Hi folks. I'm awake... I shouldn't be... I've managed about 6 games on Weboggle and, amazingly, the site hasn't crashed yet. One of the words listed that 'Everyone missed' was "eobiont". I wonder why?? And what the heck does it MEAN?
hi all! Any clue on the OR 6?
thx
doxy - one who ro4/7's
yw
probably as obscure as some of the ones on this site
ro6 - one who vomits. Think of Aussie artist and TV personality Mr. Harris.
hiya jacula!
thx helen
Hi, Hell. Any idea what 'eobiont' means? That more obscure than any Babble word I've come across so far.
bye all
not a clue
jac - i don't think i can even pronounce that word!
bye Madi
Hell - Googled word and found it: eobiont 1. a hypothetical primordial life-form or chemical precursor to a living organism 2. an artificially created creature 3. a Frankenstein's monster
nm... found it
So... know we know!
yeah, right
hello, co uld I get a clue for the Z words?
It literally means 'early life form', apparently. Squirrel that away in the filing cabinets of your brain. It may come in handy on Babble one day.
Hi, Harp. a za5/22 that is an African country with the 'b' taken out. Then a zo4/9 and adj. form zo5/20.
i absolutelly cannot stand that guy from new york - what a narcissist, delusional borderline personality
What guy from New York??
Finally *********FIREWORKS*********
on american idol - totally annoying weirdo
Well done, SMDJV.
wd smd!
Oh, sorry, Hell. Never watch that, or the UK version. Just watch the outtakes on YouTube.
he got turned down & he bought his own ticket to hollywood - like that's going to prove something & the cameras followed him around all day, feeding his outta control ego
Tx HK...and thx to everyone for the great clues.
yay smd
Ah, sounds a bit like Darius on the very first UK Pop Idol. Mind you, he proved his point and did get on i the music world.
No offense intended, but if I wanted to know about idol, I'd watch it.
But he a Simon Cowell did NOT hit it off! Two big egos meeting, you see.:(
is the zo4 a common word?
Goodnite all...see you tomorrow....hopefully!!
harp, add 2 vowels
any clue on the ra6?
anyone know lo6/27
Wolfrick - I quite understand what you are saying. We do chat on here, but mostly keep to clueing. We have approached Dr_God about a split chatlog.
pls help CA 6/24
niters smd
lo6 - a type of shoe or one who lo4
ca + **** a letter
ra + present tense of to be + un***
ra6/21 = male sheep + 'not well' minus last letter.
thnx
ty doxy!
yw
Smooth - did you see my clue?
yeah jac... still deciphering the last part...
thanks, not exactly common, is it?
smooth, put a t in the middle
smooth - 'not well' = sick or i**.
Got it! that's what I was missing... thanks!
I've got a really huge computer lag tonight, so I can't see if my words took or not for a few seconds
am6/21 please
Sorry, smooth. It's the middle of the night here, I forgot the 't'.
jac, you left out the Cross letter. ;)

A speaking exam, TO?
re6/18 please
TO - I finished hours ago so can't recall which 'o' the ot4/4 (speaking exam) came off, but, if it's not that then it must be oo6/18, I think.
Betty - re6/18 = 'not fake' + 2 vowels.
TO - meant or4/4 for the spoken thing.
Thanks Jacula
y/w, BettyAnne.
afternnon all - help with the tr6/27 & 7/40?
or afternoon
tr6/27 is a dessert tr7/40 is same as tr6 wit a consonant at the end
crone - like a really decadently good chocolate, except change the middle vowel from 'u; to 'i'
thanks Lisa!
yw
B/hell! I was just chatting to my friend from New Zealand on MSN. She, her daughter and young grand daughter found a woman's body on the beach today during their afternoon stroll.
now the last two fish words - or6/18 & 4/4?
thanks helen
jac... that is a major bad thing.
bloody herll is right!
or6/18 = a bird. or4/4 (if not the spoken word) = or + French masculine form of 'the'.
they ok?
omg jacula - how horrible!
bloody herll is right! *hell]
how terrible, jac!
Whoa, Jacula! Are they okay?
kanga - Police and TV crews came out in force. You might find out more details before I do. Friend lives in Auckland, btw.
many thanks all!
Jen - don't know yet. Just asked.
someone who drowned?
My home city. It'll definitely be on the news then.
horrible thing for a kid to have to deal with. my sympathy to your friend.
Apparently, there were some clothes and belongings in the sand about 10 feet away from us that the police believe belonged to her.
That's what my friend just told me.
kanga - I just asked her how her grand daughter coped with it.
Problem is, MSN with webcam crashes a lot between NZ and UK.:(
sorry jacs - i was called away - must be the oo word
fireworks finally!
TO - oo + a shuffling of what trains run on then.
Well done, smooth.
go, smooth!
thanks... it's much tougher when the computer wont respond. lol
(thanks jac)
Jencatd - You will probably find out before I do then. My friend's computer crashes often. It has done so now.
wd smooth !
I'd ring her, but I can't really afford to.:(
i'm going to be on and off for a while... if anyone sees Hugabugs, and i'm not around, someone care to tell her I'm looking for her?
i'm going to be on and off for a while... if anyone sees Hugabugs, and i'm not around, someone care to tell her I'm looking for her?
Okay smooth. Will do.
lol sorry for the double post... like i said cmputer issues
Can't get tr5/12, no matter how hard I try...help, please?
s'okay, Smooth. I just thought you were doubly eager to get in touch.

hi hk
hiya ping
Oh dear, TO!
Good evening, I need a clue for ho5/12 and gr5/14, please,
Need a (((HUG)), TO, or is that the last thing you want?
Jacula, is that clue for me?
i want to be over this but dr says it's croup casused by rsv
gr 5/14 african singer and storyteller
what's rsv?
ho + cent*** in the middle
Marc - same 1st 3 letter of ho4/5 above then ad
Good evening, Marc. Who seems to be as well brought up as my own son of same 1st name...ho5/12 = ho4/5 before it + upright consonant. gr5/14 = g + public disorder on a grand scale.
I continue - Mr. Gore's first anme.
clue for the am 8, anyone?
i too am waiting, breathlessly, ping!
hi kanga
Thanks Ping and Jacula got it.
hi ping.
yw
am8 is a pesticide
am8 - am + pronoun + actor's part
TO - my daughter also has the coughing thing at present, yet another world wide virus. It can last for up to 8 weeks. Original virus goes after 2 weeks, but you are then beset by postviral bronchial hyeractivity. It makes you temporary asthmatic and you need steroids (which my daughter has now been given for 2 weeks) and an inhaler to cope with the coughing fits (which she has not been given... yet).
thanks lisa and vioxx!
thanks, vioxx, it didn't think Off! or Raid would work
am8 - 3 letter word for friend + 5 letters that sound like the creatures that live underground (or funny little figurines with big hair).
anyone got a clue for the ta6/18
*hyPeractivity
thanks lisa
gee thanks jacs
ta 6 - ta 4 + er?
dr did ask if i was asthmatic
that's the only one i have so far
no the other one
ta6/18 (there are 2) . First is the one who follows behind, 2nd is the one who makes bespoke suits etc.
rather desperate (have to pick up kids) am6/24 and ca6/24? please
thanks jac!
ty
TO - that's what my daughter said, too! 'Gee thanks! 5 more weeks to go of this then?'
watching lost bb during commercial
ca6 - ca + what the post office delivers.
ca 6 = ca + yahoo provides free e****
i amcoughing up god knows what - looks like a lung
thanks dianne and ping!
i don't have am 6 yet, kanga
am6/24 is a military tank amongst other things. am + another word for trail (or seeking wildlife) or train route minus the 'k'.
then we will wait and think together, ping...
am+what a train runs on minus last letter
very short wait. thanks lisa!
yw
thanks, lisa!
and jacula
kanga - that last post of yours sounded like a track off an old Lindisfarne LP. 'We Can Swing Together' was the name of the track. 'Fog On The Tyne' was the name of thee LP (album). The names of both of different connotations today!:(
I am sooo close..can I have a ro6/27 pls?
a clue, that is..!
Alison, like Tiger Woods is, but with an 'r' at the front.
ro6/27 is the vomiter! Think of Mr. Harris, Aussie artist and TV personality for the 1st 4 letters.
jac, will have to look out for it.
thank you! I don't suppose you can read my mind and tell me what two ro 4*4's i'm missing!
kanga - I do wish I didn't have to keep telling people to vomit when they see Mr. Harris. I don't mind him at all - not even when he dared to do his wobbleboard version of Led Zep's 'Stairway To Heaven'. Though I was a BIT perturbed by that.
Yes, I can. You're missing the 6 letter word you just entered without the 'er' ending. You're also missing r+ what Exxon sells.
firewords !
wtg hk!
very fond of that version, jac!
go helen!
at 5 and 6 please?
ro4/4 - to wander freely. ro4/4 - what a lion does. ro4/4 - r + Arab riches. ro4/4 - an actor's part. ro4/4 - who's due to do what at work. ro4/4 - a French roast.
ok, greyed the fs. must go and pick up the kidlets. see you all later (i hope).
Well done, Hell!
cya kanga
French roast?
good day folks! and well done helen!
hi kris
I have actor's part, , the exxon one, the lion, and to render, but I didn't have the clued one shortened!
hi there ping...how many more words to go tonight?
143, kris
oh, you mean for me? 34
you?
Jacula, I didn't get what you meant by "a French roast"
for you but I see now, 101 here...trying to finish in an hour before Lost
Wolfrick - ro + small saint + single letter for 'you, yourself'.
is your helper here too?
Already seen "Lost" season opener... another plane crashes on the island.
wolf...I don't know either (not a coffee drinker but going in order of what I already have, I think the ones Jac is clueing is a three letter word for decay+vowel
it's the french roast I am missing..let me get a glass of wine and see if something comes to me :)
hee, i just finished watching lost kristin
nope...running solo tonight. He only helps if I beg (or he's bored)
was it good feather?
wait a minute - i didn't see another plane
ro 4 - has to do with the way the meat is cooked on a spit, i think
very! the hour flew by
hi feather hi kristin
and no that wasn't a plane joke
feather did you watch the special befre it?
oh, not the wine? well too bad, I'm getting a glass anyway!
excellent!
nope, i watched idol before it, then switched over
hi owl...feeling any better? (or should I not bring it up)
ro**sserie.
Okay, I finally figured it out. Thanks
i think they gave us much more time than usual vice commercials
anyone know the fo6/27
fo + person who doesn't tell the truth
or6/18 please?
nope. i didn't see another plane crash - did it?
it was a typical lost episode. they answered maybe one question...or half of one...and raised about 20 more.
no, no other plane.
I got it..2 more to go..silly little 4 letter words..arggg
owl...what should I watch, the Lost special or Idol...inquiring minds want to know (because like feather said, they're on at the same time)
ty ping
yw lisa
To - you must be much more of a TV fan than me. I hardly watch anything when it's actually on. I tape sstuff and then never get around to watching it half the time.
i figured the special was just a cliips show
or618?
can't you tape one? i am taping the sporanos and watching lost
jacs, can't tape two shows at once
we seem to watch more TV in the winter because it gets dark so soon, in the summer, we're out walking and enjoying the weather
owl, yes, I could but whenever we tape something, we never find the time to watch it again so we've mostly given up :) I just wondered your opinion on the special and if it would help me (who remembers very little when it comes to TV) remember what has happened so far
oh what the hay..I have "cheated with the clues you all give anyway, so what will 2 more hurt? to4/4? I have the floor covering...and a to 4/4..but it may take awhile to say what I do have !
it was interesting and explkained some stuff
okay, thanks
i'm going to bed. night!
i am mad i am actually showering to go tinto work tomorrow
To - you need to get Sky+ then, re the taping of more than one show.
feather, good night. did you like lost?
to +french "the"
no jacs - i need to do les tv watching
niters feather, sleep well
anyone got a clue for am6/21
Tell you what annoys me about TV, aside from all the reality crap shows they screen? The fact that most programmes I might be interested in are al shown at 9.00pm and several channels.
Lisa, have those 2..the floor covering one is a ta4/4, not a to..sorry
not a coincidence
hav u got a flashlight without the last letter?
or to spend ages doing something
TO - Me and about 1000 others are really p*ssed of with UK TV channel ITV right now. They took over what was once a privately owned web site about 2 years ago and have just blown us, the people who paid subs for 6 years out of the water now. They have deleted our chatlogs. We are NOT happy.
clue for second fl5/16 please? ty!
They killed a whole forum?
that sucks jacs
second is same as first but spell it differently
that stinks jac
Sure, they gave us 2 years' warning, and I hve my sites in the new place, since I was invited to be a guinea pig on there.. but there are a lot of old folks on site and they do not like, or can cope with, the change. Damned TV companies!
fireworks!
Lisa, yes..and to work hard, to rip, the plural of the one that sounds like my ford , and the pressure unit...and a wrongdoing in law..
hi everyone
hi muse!
hi muse
2nd fi 6/18 is one who stores stuff way in an office, in cabinets with drawers.
hi kristin and TO
Jen - Yes, they did. Stopped in cold and sank it.
sorry i meant fl6
But not before they obtained another year's fees from many of us without telling us of their plans.
That sucks. >_< I've lost a forum I was on to a hacker, but it's never been intentionally destroyed by the site owner.
We are now MAD as Hell.
*hums twisted sister: we're not gonna take it. NO!*
am8/45
Fireworks :D
za5 clue, please?
sorry I need a clue
ok i'm begging....fl5/16 above the dog's bane? *down on knees*

fl***-up
ti + **w your boat
or a homonym of the same word I just clued...very prevelant on the movie "Office Space"
ty
The TV company I mentioned have been roaming around the site disguised as 'normal' posters for about 3 years now. Someone would pop up with a thread on 'Who have you met on here? Found romance?' The first (and only one) of our number that fell for that, told her story to the reporters and then ended up being totally misrepresented in a double page tabloid spread. After that, we closed ranks, as members, and didn't respond the the site questions. Since they couldn't make any more money out of us all re scandal, though we would have ofered them lots of comedy for free, they blew us out of the water/ GRRRR!
li5/10?
li+to decay
li + spoil
ty i tried the c instead
Thank you mymuse..I finished my second one! I suppose I have to chalk up the $14 to get the fireworks, although it won't happen often or with alot of all the help you all give!
