does anyone watch that show where they go through the wormhole to other planets & the spin-off st**ga** atlantis - shouldn't that be a word?

12:11 am

like they don't exist or something!

12:11 am

111

12:12 am

112

never knew the tr 7 could be a plural hmmm

12:12 am

yes helen that should be a word

12:12 am

' DrB, did you start with that upper part with all'

12:12 am

12:17 am

Halfway

12:17 am

it is with one less letter ornith. :-)

12:18 am

Stress of working etc?

12:18 am

I am happy but am not sleeping cos I saw everyone racing when I decided to check the new grid before turning in

12:18 am

thanks Fran, didn't know that variant.

12:18 am

Hi againm Hell!

12:19 am

I just got sucked up in the wake of everyone else's Babble-thusiasm :-D

12:19 am

hiya jac!

12:19 am

hey wolfie, seb is in the grid. :-)

12:19 am

Wolfie - Ah, I see. I did the same after turning in and getting up again.

12:20 am

so I see, Fran, but not worth any points :(

12:22 am

wow, this puzzle is massive

12:22 am

did someone say re7/8 combo?

wonder why the st 9 can't be plural, if the tr 6 can be??

12:22 am

2 of them now

12:22 am

which one fran?

12:23 am

i guess that answers my question. :-)

12:23 am

Because the tr is people and the st isn't

whee got the 9 :)

12:24 am

hi melon!

hey, Fran.

12:24 am

yay got the re8/9

ty DR totally missed that

12:24 am

12:27 am

hiya mama!

12:27 am

good evening, all! ever switch over to a puzzle after the flip, see the number of words and think "it might as well be 100 zillion?" quickly followed by the thought "But if i get started now, i should be able to finished before I go to work tomorrow"

oh, that was from back on the 21st - too lazy to look for another.

12:27 am

{{{****MAMA!!!!****}}}

12:27 am

12:31 am

thanks dee! found that 3rd re7/8 combo

great!!!

12:31 am

hi Grey Wolf

12:31 am

knut - hope she's ok, tell her she's missed & her awesome cluing too!

12:33 am

i'll pass it along, she'll love hearing that. the last few months have been rough for her, although she keeps on trucking through it all.

12:34 am

she has more strength than she gives herself credit for.

12:34 am

flip :p also hello

12:35 am

hey blue

12:35 am

hi blue

12:35 am

hi blue!

12:35 am

knut, give jai my best also, miss seeing her in the chat.

has anyone looked at lickety's clues? my beginning two letters are all incorrect??

12:36 am

is babble being really slow for anyone else?

12:36 am

yay! finally greyed something out besides a 1!

12:36 am

haven't been there to check yet, Dee -- I haven't hit the halfway mark yet

12:36 am

i certainly will. :-) i'll be talking to her in the morning, she hasn't gotten the full livia update from Livia's first birthday

12:37 am

Hello everyone...

over halfway here... let me know when you check them if yours are goofy

12:37 am

hey douglas!

12:37 am

hello douglas

12:37 am

howdy douglas, blue!

12:37 am

12:37 am

12:37 am

12:38 am

Hello Fran, blue, knut, Grey...

ty

12:38 am

wow - your baby is already a year old! wow! happy b-day to our babblebaby

12:38 am

volley, try refreshing?

123 words in, 14 7s, 7 8s, and the 9 - tim eto look at lickety. VMD, they look OK to me. you may need to refresh.

12:38 am

Dee, yes they are goofy and with words filled in that are from yesterday, I think

12:39 am

volley, try refreshing?

12:39 am

I think I will reboot.

I think the stats are correct but the beginning 2 letters are all wrong

12:40 am

:-) thank you. amazing to me as well. my picture is from the day before her birthday. she got some adorable spring dresses from her great-grandma so I had to take her pcitures in them.

12:40 am

103 words left and my sanity is gone. night everyone

12:40 am

night dawg!

12:40 am

lord that top right is full of stuff

12:40 am

good nite lbd

12:40 am

Oh dear, that's a lot of words...

12:41 am

i am going to take a break too, 92 left & beat

12:41 am

31 in 3 minutes almost all from up there

12:41 am

g'night hk!

12:41 am

bye helen!

12:42 am

I've got 150/135 left. would probably be further if babble wasn't taking 30 seconds every time I typed in a word :(

12:43 am

ornith, i've found when that happens, the best thing to do is restart your computer, the scripts have clogged up your memory.

12:43 am

knut -- seeing as how Seb and Livia are both Babble babies, we should try to get them together, whattya think?

not sure why there isn't a ca 9, since they accepted the ca 8... another hmmmm DR

12:43 am

babble baby love..... awwwww

12:43 am

nothing else is being slow, though! guess I'll try it anyway though

12:45 am

falling asleep already with o9nly 80 woprds so far..

12:45 am

Seb will have to arm wrestle livia's current boyfriend :-) Also a babble baby, although his mum doesn't chat

12:45 am

Back again after rebooting -- that solved the problem with Lickety's llist.

12:45 am

going to bed jilli?

12:46 am

as you can see from my typing :(

12:46 am

i thought it was just in code jilli.

12:46 am

:-)

ty AR for the info

12:46 am

that's fine with me, knut -- dealing with Kristianna and her 'boyfriend' is one relationship more than I want to deal with at this point anyway ;-D

12:46 am

can I get a clue for the re8 and 9 pls?

12:46 am

yes, fran -- anyone want a piece of Elton's cake?

12:47 am

the 9 is st9/72 hugs, armies have to be this

12:47 am

of course, how old is he?

12:47 am

jilli, it's too pretty to cut up.

12:47 am

oh... thanks Fran

12:48 am

4 s's certainly help here

12:48 am

great icon harp! i'm surprised the glasses fit in the picture. :-)

12:48 am

of course, your Seb is likely better behaved, everytime we go over to david's house, he takes some piece of clothing off Livia! (silly 1 year olds)

12:49 am

Sounds suspicious to me knut...

whe - got the st 8/50. actually guessed it was in the grid - found it after the fact.

12:49 am

FRan -- too retty to cut up -- does taht fit Elton?

12:49 am

LOL -- gotta love those 1 yo's

12:49 am

He's definitely a shifty character. ;-)

12:50 am

thanks, i'm going to see Elton John's Aida next week so I'm in the mood!]

12:50 am

too pretty... oh yes, definitely bedtime

12:50 am

Of course, Seb does have his sister to help keep him in line (sort of...)

12:50 am

115 found and going back to bed now. Plenty of time later to find words, Happy Babblin.

12:50 am

night jac!

12:50 am

so long, Jac -- see you soon

12:51 am

hi jac, bye jac

12:51 am

and definitely slowing down here -- up to 150 after another 25 mins of hunting

12:51 am

Mama -- why so quiet?

not quite mediocre - but i did get halfway with all the 8s + 9, have 18 of 28 7s, but too tired to continue. laila tov all. {poof}

12:52 am

dunno.......

12:52 am

I am not liking the curve on my hunting -- at this pace, I will still be under the wire to finish even with the early start :-D

12:52 am

night melon!

12:52 am

laila tov melon

12:52 am

I need to dive into the puzzle myself.

12:52 am

have 118 since coming on though......

12:52 am

did anyone say ta7 yet?

12:53 am

Farewell, melon

12:55 am

finally found the ca7

12:55 am

I don't think so Fran, but I just found it

12:55 am

so i went from alice in chains and ac/dc and whatnot last night to "20 years of narada piano" tonight

12:55 am

not sure which is more conducive to babbling

12:55 am

cool hugs

any hints fran... struggling with the ch 7 / 40

12:55 am

dozing off.. bye... *poof*

12:55 am

that is my only weak point right now -- I only have 4 eah of the 7 and 8's -- but at least I have the 9

12:56 am

and it was false advertising too...the album wasn't even close to being 20 years long

12:56 am

g'nite jilli

12:56 am

dee, i don't have the ch7/40, i have ca7/40

12:56 am

blue, that's a really big jump in genres! :-)

12:56 am

night jilli!

12:57 am

I have ca7/40 x 2

oops sorry

12:57 am

yeah...narada really puts out some beautiful songs though

12:57 am

and a ca8/55

12:57 am

ca7/40 x 3

12:58 am

hugs, there are two ca8/55s

12:58 am

Bach gets my logical juices flowing...I've just put on the Goldberg Variations...

12:58 am

got them now

12:59 am

HELP. Went to Lickity. The new list comes up, BUT it fills in the list with my words from yesterday. I refreshed, and rebooted the computer. Any ideas?

12:59 am

missing one more 8

12:59 am

dee, is there a ch7/40?

found it was looking the wrong direction

yes

12:59 am

yes

12:59 am

pigeon, throw away the cookie

12:59 am

there's a ch7/44

12:59 am

eh...this is all contemporary pianists, david lanz and michael jones and spencer brewer and the like

12:59 am

I just got a ch7/44

1:00 am

Have you ever listened to Keith Jarrett, blue?

1:00 am

thanks hugs and douglas...*searching*

1:00 am

not that i can recall no

1:00 am

man, rebooted, had to try several times just to get the page to load, and still really slow :(

1:01 am

Fantastic jazz pianist, also plays classical and early music...

1:01 am

wooow. i just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out be5,18 and 6,30 and it was the first thing i should have tried. terrible.

1:01 am

looks like I'm done for the night. boo. hopefully it will behave after church tomorrow... night all

1:01 am

ornith, i won't be surprised if we crash some time soon then.

1:02 am

night ornith!

1:03 am

this isn't really my usual fare (though i am a fan of david lanz), i was just browsing through my winamp and went "oh, there's something i haven't listened to yet"

1:03 am

thanks scv, there's a second be5/18 also.

1:03 am

which happens when you've got 5300+ files totalling 17 and a half days of music

1:05 am

surprisingly, i had the other. which is why i felt silly about missing that.

1:06 am

oh, and my lickety's is messed up too :( really goodnight now

1:07 am

Strange -- but I have no probs with Babble lagging at all, nor is Lickety mixed up for me -- and all I did was reload both pages when I came on earlier

1:08 am

I'm trying to get my brain around 17 and a half days of music...

1:08 am

working fine on this end too, dunno what to tell you

1:09 am

lickety isn't messed up for me really.. just the letters already placed in the word boxes dont match up with the clues. i suspect theyre the letters from yesterday, so i understand how people have yesterdays list there

1:09 am

but nothing's checked. so no harm.

1:10 am

i just deleted 9 gigs of files that i was "holding" for my husband, i'm left with 3100+ or 8.9 days worth

the stats are all correct

finally got my icon

1:10 am

it's partly me being a packrat, and partly the fact that campus internet in louisville is ridiculously fast

1:10 am

Hmmm.... since I don't actually use Lickety except to view the printable list, I wouldn't be able to comment on that

1:11 am

nice hk! i think it would have been great to have seen him in his prime too.

1:12 am

I saw him in the 90s also.

fran - kick myself for not going to see him then

1:12 am

I had operating system issues with my computer a few months back --- and somehow lost my entire music collection after I had just finished transferring all my CD's to the computer --- just over 8 days worth of music too! 8-(

he was famous for jumping around all over the stage

1:12 am

you probably had more of an opportunity, i was in Guam!

1:12 am

morning (at least for me) everyone

hiya judy!

1:13 am

1:16 am

Well, it's like this -- I was gonna go to bed, but Kirsten pointed out that I could check the grid before turning in due to the time. Then when I got here, the log was filled with people talking about how quickly they were finding words, so I just sorta got sucked into the grid and haven't left yet

1:17 am

'Sides, Seb is due to wake up any minute now

1:18 am

I'm familiar with how the grids "suck you in"! LOL

1:18 am

Sometimes a ***** is just a *****

1:19 am

and sometimes it's a big brown **** (not a clue, just some carlin)

1:26 am

phantom athiest...

1:28 am

While there are a lot of words in this grid, there are also three words in rows or columns...

1:29 am

there are four, but only three count for the row/column

1:30 am

phantom -- nictate

1:31 am

I'm really wanting a long word to end that way...

1:33 am

blue, it's like a word for someone who takes your money at a store, but drop the first S

2:33 am

ca7 is the plural

did you get it blue? or did i confuse you? it's a strange word

2:37 am

must be, hehe

2:38 am

I got it - thanks for reminding me of that one Fran. Hello everyone

2:38 am

money is called cash, the person who takes your money at a store is a cash***, drop the S for the ca6 then make it plural for a ca7

Ang - have you met your fellow islander Amiku

3:11 am

3:11 am

I don't believe we have.

3:11 am

Hush, Iain. I'm not that frail until next year ;)

3:13 am

3:13 am

*from

3:13 am

Ang: unfortunately.

3:13 am

unfortunately ?

3:14 am

Yes, unfortunately.

3:15 am

oh dear swop you amiku it cant ber as bad as here in uk

3:15 am

she would know

3:15 am

thx iain!

3:15 am

Iain: lived there too,.

3:16 am

Probably why it's so crap. Coz you know, I left.

3:16 am

iain... the uk is a great place to be...

3:16 am

so what is bad about nz it looks great

3:16 am

Iain: lots of inbreds and sheep.

3:16 am

it is iain

3:17 am

rolin uk could be wonderful but when income goes up by 2% and bills go up by 10% it does grate a bit

3:18 am

but thats the same evrywhere iain...since ive left aus....the dream of so many brits... the cost of living has skyrocketed...

3:18 am

amiku that could be said about several places

3:18 am

when i forst came here...the rpice of meat was so much more that aus...but now aus has caught up with us

3:19 am

Iain: theres a sign on the way into my town that says "Inbreds --->"

3:19 am

is ir grass always beibg greener etc

3:19 am

So I guess you

3:20 am

phantom: ghey.

3:21 am

(sorry pressed enter early) so Amiku I guess we shall see you in Aust in a few years - all NZ's seem to come here when they start their working careers

3:22 am

mind you they all talk very fondly of NZ - and I am sure they all go back eventually

3:22 am

lol...spoken like a true aussie lynxxxx.

3:22 am

lynxxx: maybe... I'm thinking about going back to Europe

3:24 am

why amiku?

3:24 am

yes, why amiku? :D

3:25 am

MVA: I like Europe. It's not so isolated, but it's not in the middle of the world's market place either.

3:25 am

phantom geisha

3:25 am

phantom: chastity.

3:25 am

phantom haggis, mmm

3:26 am

Where is the world's marketplace?

3:26 am

Why the hell would anyone call their child Chastity?

3:26 am

Ang: certainly not here.

3:26 am

i don't know...you have a predilection for naming a kid after the one responsible for the fall of man though ;)

3:26 am

Unless you're buying wine/red meat

3:27 am

i asked because a lot of people i know dream of leaving europe and living in aus or nz

3:27 am

angb... did you watch the aussie/s.a. cricket yesterday?

3:27 am

Shut up, Daniel.

3:27 am

Wine - red meat - what else do you need?

3:27 am

hehe

3:28 am

AProbably when they older MVA. the lure of Europe is very strong for young people in Aust & NZ - so much to see and do.

3:28 am

Ang: a game not for the whole family ;)

3:28 am

worse is that i went along with it without thinking about that :p

3:28 am

No I didn't rolin. I tried to get it online b ut couldn';t work the site

3:28 am

i watched a little on a mate's sky channel... augers well for the final

5:06 am

5:06 am

Hi sherb and everyone. Sorry, I just butted in without saing hello.

5:07 am

That's awful.

5:07 am

5:08 am

5:08 am

That really sucks,Kazz. Good luck...:}

5:08 am

{{Kazzer}}

5:09 am

I'm glad I don't drive! I bought a car intending to have lessons, and that's when it got shunted and I got my whiplash.

5:09 am

oooh i cant imagine not being able to drive

5:09 am

thanks guys - its nice to talk to folks outside of it - still we went to the meal and wished our friend happy 40th

I am having that same problem with lickety's list refreshing doesn't help any suggestions? I have also closed and opened it

sorry about your car Kazzer hope you feel better

5:11 am

i cant drive and this is putting me off even more - this is the second accident we've had like this. The first one was nearly 8 years ago but that was an articulated lorry and it wiped the side of the car off on my side as well as hitting in the rear 3 times

5:11 am

Hi all. This is my first time here.

5:12 am

hi mazeli

5:12 am

welcome mazeli....

5:12 am

I'm never going to learn now. Living ikn London, you don't need a car. If I move out, it'll have to be a moped. I'll be a ton-up granny.

5:13 am

Ty- can I ask - if i log out will it save what i have done so far so i can come back to the game later

5:13 am

Hi Mazeli. I hope you'll like us all enough to become a regular. Where are you from?

5:13 am

lol...my daughter can drive..but like you she lives in london and doesnt need a car particularly

5:13 am

good morning Maseli and welcome......:)

5:13 am

Hi Mazeli, Kazzer, Eva, Hydra etal. Bad news Hydra

5:20 am

howdy sprite

5:20 am

morning sprite

5:20 am

thx sherb!

5:21 am

am i the only one experiencing problems with lickety's word list? i have today's grid with yesterday's word list. How weird!

5:22 am

sect

5:22 am

someone else had that earlyer

5:22 am

oops, sorry

5:23 am

hi everyone

5:23 am

hi Andree :)

5:23 am

morning andree

5:24 am

good evening Andree

5:24 am

sherb-don't get that clue for the 9?

5:24 am

pink when that happens if you close lickety then open again you should get todays list

5:24 am

howdy Andree

5:26 am

i done that andree and it was same when i re opened the page. i dont know whats going on with my computer. im sure it has a mind of its own!

5:26 am

did you force-refresh, pink?

yhe same thing happened to me

5:27 am

st9.72 - made st9.72 plans for business/war etc

5:27 am

hmmm-tried that but must be a different spelling

5:27 am

yes i did sprite, my computer is rebeling because i left it on by mistake last night.

5:28 am

got it! Thanks

5:28 am

Eva - last 3 letters are as ma5.18

5:28 am

I hate it when they do that. Computers are like cars. They must do what you want whenever you want, and not try to think for themselves.

5:28 am

I am having trouble with lickety too. Today's grid with yesterdays list. It opens with todays clues then changes. Any help??

5:29 am

For 8sI have 2xca, 1 x ge, 1x in, 1 x ma, 3 x re. First letter for last 8 plz ?

5:29 am

thanks for the 9

5:29 am

I need to go and get dressed... back later for the last 50...

5:29 am

bye sherb

5:29 am

i strongly agree with you sprite. i wish men would do the same!

5:30 am

bye sherb

5:30 am

Thnx for the 9 lynxxx - had long phone call with best friend - back now for a wee while

5:30 am

5:30 am

Later Sherb :)

5:31 am

*meant gonna*

5:31 am

Mazeli - st8.50

5:31 am

I've already tried several times with the same result

5:32 am

thx lyn

5:33 am

lickety is only bad until you hit the "re"'s...then it's fine!

5:33 am

Anike is your computer rebeling against you too?

5:33 am

I believe there is a contact on Licketys page - you could contact him via that perhaps

5:34 am

so I can sh4/7 someone but I cannot to it again? Where did monogamy go?

5:34 am

*do

5:34 am

my lickety list is functioning as it should so i'll be back in a while *poof*

5:35 am

you can sh** again and again..try it!

5:36 am

whoo - got all 9/8s. better go get dressed now!!

5:36 am

not according to enable!

5:55 am

WELCOME BACK girlfriend...........:)

wow rolin, i have found 104 words and am seriously thinking it is time for the list, lol

5:57 am

well i try to maintain some semblance of discipline..i use the 2/3 'rule' to try and make myself more determined

5:57 am

so i have 7 words to go til i get there

good for you, first real sign of stress for me and it is off to the list, try to make this fun for myself not punishment, lol

5:57 am

yay rolin :)

5:58 am

5:59 am

6:01 am

ac5/12, comes in between the 4s.

6:03 am

ty monkeyed it

6:03 am

lol, was just thinking I could give a real babble clue for that one... ac + hairy nosed dolphin minus last letter

6:04 am

(and of course this is where my determination is really a farce...cos...whats the difference between geting the clue from you...and going to the list?)...but hey..delusion is not all bad...lol

6:04 am

there is a difference! I give one clue, the list gives them all ;)

6:04 am

Hello, all Goedemorgen, sprite

6:04 am

Time to start my day or just kick back until the ickys go away.....bye guys.

6:06 am

6:07 am

i am always disorientated by the time change so will go to bed, goodnight and happy babbling

6:08 am

Hello Babble Team. I have some time to play before I go to work.

6:08 am

night Andree, I know the feeling :)

6:08 am

sleep well andree

6:08 am

hey Scrabbler

6:08 am

ty rolin

6:08 am

TY Rolin

6:08 am

nite Andree - sleep well

6:09 am

is there only one ry?

6:09 am

yes rolin

6:09 am

sh 4/5 -- pronoun that sounds like a contraction

6:10 am

Oo, that right upper corner is the mother lode.

6:10 am

ok..so i need one more re.....

6:12 am

there is 2 re4.6 rolin

6:12 am

that's a very gentle icon today, BabbleRabble! Such soft colours :)

6:12 am

is there now...

that was weird, I just went to get the clues from licketys and all the boxes were checked, hmmm

thought i had finished the puzzle without even realizing it, lol

6:13 am

Hi BR--beautiful icon--it looks like a waterfall area near here

6:13 am

cheers lynxxx..that was the one..

6:13 am

So, Sheryl--fireworks, right?

6:14 am

Yes. Mayhap my moods (or moodiness) influence my selections

6:14 am

ok..seems i might be being made a better offer.... i may be away from the keyboard for a while..*wiggling eyebrows*...

6:14 am

LOL, one of my sisters uses the blended word "mayhaps"

6:14 am

have fun Rolin!!

I wish scrabbler, 165 left, lol

6:15 am

rolin----whoaaaaa

6:15 am

probably :) I am trying to let my mood be softened by those colours, lol. There is only one thing worse than DST: getting up early for aikido lessons and having to wait for the teacher to show up, who forgot about DST.

6:16 am

yay rolin, enjoy ;)

6:23 am

ca 8/55; ca 8/55 ge 8/50 in 8/55 ma 8/55 re 8/50; re 8/40; re 8/40 st 8/50; st 9/72

6:24 am

Are some of those compound words, BR?

6:25 am

whoa - morning all - biggie today

6:25 am

hi Wolvie

6:25 am

Hi Wolvie

6:25 am

No Scrabbler

6:26 am

Hi Wolvie

6:26 am

I don't think so, Scrabbler. Some with prefix though.

6:26 am

TY, lynxx, but I just found ma8

6:27 am

Sorry, Scrabbler. Was doing a Kenny Rogers and checking what condition my condition was in ....

6:27 am

lol

6:27 am

LOL--so how is your condition?

6:28 am

At the moment I am somewhat ambivalent

6:28 am

About______?

6:29 am

if you managed to make up your mind that you are ambivalent, you might not be

6:29 am

nice icon today babble

6:30 am

I found 1 ca8--is the other one related?

6:30 am

only in form, Scrabbler, and only a little.

6:30 am

Each day is an opportunity. Some days more than others are a test of resolve.

6:30 am

Thanks, Wolvie and good morning to you.

6:31 am

so true BR!

6:31 am

:-)

6:31 am

Scrabbler: one is a plural, one is a comparative

6:32 am

Ah, the comparative--that's it

6:32 am

sorry about the confusion, I was looking at the Ca7s, not the 8s. :(

6:32 am

Anybody seen Jacula lately??

6:32 am

no, was just thinking about her

6:32 am

noo - now that you mention it, I haven't

6:33 am

yes, Jac's been around a good bit

6:33 am

oh good - and hi ata

6:33 am

ah ok, good

6:33 am

hi Ata :)

6:33 am

Hi Ata

6:33 am

Good news, Atalante.

6:35 am

do the ca 8's build off of the ca 4/7?

6:35 am

Think about the person behind home plate

6:35 am

in4.8 & 5.18 - anyone care to give definition of this silly one

6:35 am

they build from the ca5/16

6:35 am

oh - ah - ty scrabbler

6:35 am

and sprite

6:35 am

the ca..... in the rye

6:36 am

got is sprite - ty

6:36 am

But, TY for the ca4,7 clue--I got a bunch from that

6:36 am

yep - quite a few there

6:37 am

7 at least. :-)

6:37 am

So far this is the kind of grid that boosts my Babble Self-Esteem rating--I am sure to crash later

6:37 am

lynxxx: in + greeting = in5/18. Drop last letter for the 4.

6:38 am

TY Sprite - I had them, just wondering what they meant?

6:38 am

ah, sorry! Let's see if I can find out.

6:38 am

Wolvie, I have 5 linked together--the ca4,7---I am looking for 2 more

6:38 am

don't for get more so, most, and the sometimes vowel

6:39 am

Now, Scrabbler, cut out the negative chatter. As one who is a healer, heal yourself from self-deprecation. Someone told me that; perhaps a doctor?

6:40 am

got the 5, lynxxx. The word is usually known in coalminers' jargon as an adverb of direction meaning "toward the coal face". When used for above ground, it means "toward the house" or similar, for example, an "in5 field" is a field near the farmhouse. (yeah, right)

6:40 am

good morning all -does anyone have clue for bi 5/20?

6:40 am

LOL, BR, but I excel at self-deprecation, in a humorous way. You are right, though! I finished yest's grid WITHOUT the list--with help from my Babble friends

6:40 am

very cool scrabbler - I love it when I don't need the list for the last few

6:40 am

yay Scrabbler! We will call you ScrabblerBabbler from now on ;)

6:41 am

Hurshy & Aloyisius were guiding me

6:41 am

TY Sprite - that all seems quite logical actually - just old fashioned!

6:41 am

ah, you were in good hands then, but still, YOU did it

6:42 am

bi5.20 a body of water

6:42 am

not yet maj - but good morning

6:42 am

it seems so, lynxxx! There is also an out variant :)

6:42 am

ahhh - ty lynxx

6:42 am

Wolvie--I need 1 more in the ca4,7 group

6:43 am

for that ca, I have ca 4/7, ca 5/16 x2, ca 6/27 x2, ca 5/20, and ca 7/40

6:43 am

Yeah, like you know which one I need...LOL

6:43 am

which one are you missing?

6:44 am

ca7,40 is missing!

6:44 am

that the most ca 4/7

6:44 am

Oh, the superlative ending--I just saw it

6:44 am

superlative

6:44 am

:-)

6:45 am

Th** ending changes everything now---**scrambling to find words with th** ending**

6:45 am

yes - it makes a lot of words, and watch out for that y

6:46 am

cant figure the body of water clue-any others for bi 5/20?

6:46 am

The Y is dangerous, huh? Do I need a Kevlar vest?

6:46 am

majmom: rhymes with the dark part of day

6:47 am

bi5.20 another way of spelling what you do when you eat - you bi** with your teeth

6:47 am

lol - no sprite

6:47 am

I had the word, Sprite, but didn't know what it meant

6:47 am

not?

6:48 am

nothing dangersus in babble land

6:48 am

except maybe my typing.;-0

6:48 am

You're right, Wolvie--the letters are our friends!!

6:48 am

ty sprite-not a common word here -and lots of water in nova scotia

6:48 am

Wolvie, what was no? Not rhyming?

6:48 am

bights

6:49 am

yay mom, you got it, LOL

you would see that word in australia

6:49 am

How about another clue for that in5 and in4 combo that you mentioned earlier, Sprite?

6:49 am

that would be a plural maj. ;-)

6:49 am

Yes, the grid bites sometimes, majmom.

6:49 am

sorry -now its common to everyone

6:49 am

noun: the dark negative feminine principle in Chinese dualistic cosmology (Example: "The interaction of yi* and yang maintains the harmony of the universe")

6:49 am

Scrabbler: in + hello and good*** for the 5. Drop the last letter for the 4.

6:50 am

no problems maj - we all do it. :-)

6:50 am

We MUST have harmony in Babbleland!

6:50 am

TY, Sprite--I agree, completely ridiculous words

6:51 am

lol BabbleRabble!

6:51 am

no babble - just champagne in the penalty box. :-)

6:51 am

champagne and chocolate!

6:51 am

Yes, BR! Let's go Babble Team! (But I have to leave for the hospital very soon--2 newborns, then I go to the office for 3 hrs of sick kids)

6:51 am

right - choc very necessary

6:52 am

too bad scrabbler

6:52 am

DARK chocolate!

6:52 am

you've got your day cut out for you, Scrabbler.

6:52 am

if it's any consolation, the day itself is going to pull me away soon - outdoors calls

6:52 am

the darkest - 73%!!

6:52 am

champagne, dark chocolate and strawberries... but then I might never come out again.

6:52 am

I will return to Babble Land later though--so far I am having fun with th** grid

6:53 am

we will be putting ourselves in on purpose!

6:53 am

10 min more--I'll eat breakfast in the car!

6:53 am

If we had an A near the B, we would have abyss

6:54 am

we have one anyway scrabbler. ;-)

6:54 am

I am on the bottom of it, Scrabbler

6:55 am

10:06 am

like the ch4/6

10:06 am

nvm, pulled a peri

10:06 am

gh + third vowel + curvy letter

10:07 am

that is just the clue i would have given, pab :)

10:07 am

may as well have spelled it out lol

10:07 am

i also miss one A word, i have all fours except one five that is a plural.

10:09 am

and one H - similar situation - mostly fours, TWO fives that are plurals in that case.

10:11 am

10:12 am

an ae5 babblet without the a

10:12 am

10:12 am

my bad

10:13 am

10:14 am

10:16 am

10:16 am

variations on that, hursh -- the most, the more...

10:16 am

no, those come from the right.

10:16 am

can i have a clue for the st9 please? the war plan one didn't work for me

10:17 am

in + opp of hello

10:17 am

our president thinks it can be nounified as "strategery"

10:17 am

chess is a st9 game

10:17 am

hush do you have the in + visual and plural?

10:17 am

hmm, that might be giving too much away

10:17 am

That did it for me, Hursh! Thx.

10:17 am

HI ALL

10:17 am

yes, it was the stuff ch5 said

10:18 am

or the in + variant spelling of two part?

10:18 am

ahhh..ty hurshy...

10:18 am

so now that people are talking, i shall repeat my A and H questions: i have one missing of each, mostly fours except for one A5 (pl) and two H5 (also pl)

10:19 am

OOP! just remembered the hi4/5 babblet.

10:19 am

tough being in the grid....

10:19 am

first rule of physicians: do no h***

10:20 am

it's an honor, and a privilege, but it is tough, you're quite right.

10:20 am

WHAT ARE THE TILE STATS USED FOR?

10:20 am

I shall do my humble b***.

10:20 am

can words be in any order?

10:21 am

they let you know how many words come off each tile, playera1

10:21 am

you can make words going any direction, as long as the letters are touching and you don't use the same tile twice in the same word

10:21 am

ch1212 - didn't get your in + visual clue. can you dumb it down? :)

10:21 am

ag5 - pl of to grow older?

10:21 am

you can (and must) twist and turn and stuff

10:21 am

player - you make words by using letters which are next to each other. see the 'help' button....

10:21 am

ty hurshy

10:21 am

that is the one 5 i've got

how about ac5

10:22 am

aha! an ac5!

10:22 am

will look

10:22 am

got it!

10:22 am

tyvm sudoku

10:22 am

ac + Vowel + cons. + vowel (same)

10:23 am

one M left, let me run a plural check

yw thanks for the clue ch1212

10:24 am

plural check yields no results :(

10:26 am

matt

10:26 am

hursh--the other a5 isn't a plural..it's a botany term: a berry, as a grape or currant.

10:26 am

one MA8 and two sevens, is that right?

10:26 am

oooo nnnoooooo!!!! Sorry. Off to the penalty box

10:26 am

lol ch1212, good guess but i had that one

10:26 am

croissants and coffee....

10:27 am

the little wooden things to start a fire with?

10:27 am

aw MAN, why did you have to go and say "croissants"

10:27 am

yes hursh, 1 8, 2 7's

10:27 am

i want croissants and coffee!!!!!!

10:27 am

*giving up on the grid in favor of some croissants*

10:27 am

hursh, do you have the wise men with a different vowel, then plural?

10:27 am

well if anyone has any other suggestions for what M i might miss... lemme know

10:27 am

hurshy what m are u missing

10:27 am

big ma**?

10:27 am

10:27 am

10:28 am

10:28 am

goodday, does anyone have a clue for the bi5/20?

10:28 am

a5

10:28 am

morning, friends

10:28 am

rhymes with love at first si5

Cheese on Toast with brown sauce ... yum yum!

10:29 am

bi5/20 rhymes with "right"

10:29 am

thank you hurshy!

10:29 am

bi5/10 - b + opp of day minus the initial n.

10:29 am

ooh, hey, i used a word, now i get croissants

10:29 am

bi 5/20 sounds like what an inscet does

10:29 am

kris why are u so quiet?

10:29 am

ah, ma5... name for a butter substitute... didn't see that one...

10:29 am

now all i have left is R, S, and T (half the wheel of fortune gimmes)

10:30 am

a5= a+ first three letters of another word for film or movie house+ third vowel

10:30 am

and we have established that there are no T8

10:30 am

Good morning all. Just looked at my lickety list and found all my yesterday's words there. has that happened to you? How did you clear it? Refreshing doesn't work.

10:30 am

oops...i need to read instead of type....and eat croissants

10:30 am

so, are there 2 R8 or 3?

10:30 am

hey Ch***, what an honor, you're in the grid!

10:31 am

I have three...

10:31 am

hetty - I had the same problem - I undid it manually because I'm not technical enough to know any tricks.

10:31 am

There are 3 r8's

10:31 am

lovely, are they all RE or is one RA?

10:31 am

Hey, smaller!

10:32 am

10:32 am

ursh, all are re's

10:32 am

He's probably asleep, hetty.

10:32 am

that would be even lovelier...

10:32 am

how swell!

10:32 am

all are 5/7/8 combos...

10:32 am

i will look for this other combo.

10:33 am

in my two combos, the third letter is S

10:33 am

same for the other hurshy

10:33 am

you probably need re + (U)S

the first 5 letters are the same on the re combos

10:34 am

no, have those sherb... the first FIVE, wow, cool

10:34 am

got it!

10:34 am

no, wait... that 'probaly' only applies if you work line by line like me...

10:34 am

i have ca8x2, ge8, in8, ma8, and re8x3 what am i missing

10:34 am

i think i meant to try those at some point and never got around to it cause i was typing in lotsa other words

10:35 am

10:51 am

could I get a clue for the 9 letter word?

10:51 am

well i just wanted to know in case you found something weird you could clue it

10:51 am

the US thought it had a good st9 plan for the war in iraq, but it turned out to be ineffective.

10:52 am

mate

10:52 am

G'd afternoon Babblers! I'm ack for round two

10:52 am

srry didnt mean to say that

10:52 am

10:52 am

or, eveb *back

10:52 am

i'm ack just on round one

10:52 am

switch last 2 letters on the one before, kristine

10:53 am

***shoots typist***

10:53 am

ty hursh

10:55 am

finished R's!

10:55 am

hmmm... I still ned two...

10:56 am

Yea hursh!

10:56 am

the ones i just got were like anger but for the last vowel

10:56 am

and I still NEED to clean my keyboard...

10:56 am

how do you clean a keyboard, mine needs it too

10:56 am

thanks hursh :D

10:57 am

i am looking for a ga6...i have three--the one who measures stuff, the collecting one, and the plural of the country singer's name

10:57 am

if I knew that....

10:57 am

The keys pop off. Use rubbing alcohol and Qtips

10:57 am

ga6 rhymes with red dot store ta6

10:57 am

i have to take ALL THE KEYS off?? that sounds like a lot of work.

10:57 am

ga6/30 - the same structure as what people aim at when shooting.

10:58 am

turning it upside down and shaking out the muffin crumbs would probably be a good start... but hey...

10:58 am

umm...that's weird. thanks hurshy!

10:58 am

mmmmm muffins

10:58 am

not mmmmm skunk outside

10:58 am

It's time intensive, but depends on how bad it is. I spilled coke in mine, so I ahd no choice. Cleaned up finest kind though.

10:58 am

ooh, thanks Haz... very Dickensian...

10:58 am

to clean a keyboard: unplug keyboard, throw out keyboard, plug in new key board, type away!

10:58 am

LOL rae

10:59 am

Please - I hate Dickens....

10:59 am

i like rae's method... how much is a new keyboard?

10:59 am

i use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, with the computer off, sherb. if you need to get crumbs out, shaking works, and they also sell little canisters of compressed air you can use to blow dust out.

10:59 am

The clock strikes noon and I appear.

10:59 am

$10

10:59 am

oooh, compressed air

10:59 am

hickory, dickory dock

11:00 am

You could just put the keyboard on the floor and have the dog give it a good licking.

11:00 am

I prefer not to think about what's under the keys...

11:00 am

i have ca4. they are more finicky.

11:00 am

Really, rae has the easiest idea. Keyboards are cheap, compared to the time it takes to remove sticky Coke.... :)

11:00 am

well, what with croissants and muffins, i believe Judi's method might work

11:01 am

I have cordless keyboard and mouse... brilliant...

11:01 am

I usually buy two when they go on sale...

11:01 am

Has anyone noticed how screwed up Lickety is today?

11:01 am

how can there be five more t words???????

11:01 am

my keyboard is attached to my laptop, so it's a bit more expensive to replace

11:02 am

Yes, Movieman.

11:02 am

*adds new keyboard to shopping list*

11:02 am

I only need four... I thought you were down to two or three?

11:03 am

nope :(

11:03 am

3 S's, but 5 t's

11:03 am

do you have t + the best?

11:03 am

well, at 208 words I think I'm going to go take a shower and go to the farmer's market for some coffee and croissants. If ya'll hadn't started talking about croissants, I'd probably just finish this darn grid, but I'll be back later to finish...

11:03 am

and pl...

11:03 am

aha, thanks sherb!

11:03 am

done with fours now.

11:04 am

but still two sevens!

11:04 am

11:05 am

i shall now proceed to reheat my chinese leftovers

11:06 am

enjoy :)

11:06 am

11:08 am

11:08 am

What did you bake, Hurshy? I'm going to throw down some banana bread this afternoon.

11:08 am

11:08 am

11:08 am

i baked the yummiest cake in the world. crazy cake.

11:09 am

Crazy cake??

11:09 am

I have two t7s... but I still need 7 7s...

11:11 am

crazy cake has no eggs

11:11 am

or butter

11:11 am

i have to help sarah for a second, i can give you the recipe if you like after that

11:11 am

So what's left... booze and crushed xanax?

11:12 am

ooh... found two more 7s...

11:13 am

Though I'm dragging along at a leisurely pace, I ahven't encountered any stoopid words. Yet....

11:15 am

I take great comfort in the fact that every grid has at least one stupid word...

11:15 am

Oh, hello everyone...

11:15 am

this is a lovely grid for a Sunday...

11:15 am

G'd afternoon Douglas

11:20 am

Must go wash hair and do other responsible adult things now. BBL. *poof*

11:20 am

beamer screen is like pull down cloth screen - fits across the wall. Everything becomes life size and the beamer is like a projector projecting onto the screen what's on your computer screen...

11:21 am

Cool!

11:22 am

11:22 am

11:24 am

The last sc 5/12 please? I have one that ends in double cross letter

11:24 am

That's pretty good for people who don't share the Babble obsession...

11:24 am

hi, all.

11:32 am

11:32 am

11:33 am

crazy like it has no eggs or butter

11:33 am

G'd afternoon Angel

11:34 am

11:31 angelsong

11:34 am

good... where posted...babblers anonymous?

11:34 am

thanks harpjane but not following the clue...

11:34 am

sift (or just put) into ungreased 8x8 pan: 1.5 c flour, 1 c sugar, 3 T baking cocoa, 1 t baking soda, 1 t salt.

11:34 am

no i am posting it here right now

11:35 am

then go with dorens 11:34

11:35 am

liking this recipe already.... easy cleanup. good ingredients. crazy

11:35 am

mix the dry ingredients, then make three "holes", small medium and large. in large hole put 3 T veg oil, in med hole put 1 T vinegar, in small put 1 t vanilla. pour 1 c cold water over all, mix thoroughly.

11:35 am

hmmmm but I don;t know any usa shops... :(

11:35 am

I am missing the ma5/16, 6/27 combo. clues?

11:36 am

conx ready, aim fire!

11:36 am

Just got in -- Lickety's list is a mess -- what gives? Does anybody know?

11:36 am

short for butter substitute and plural, harp

11:36 am

rhymes with a thing at which one shoots...

11:36 am

bake at 350 for 35 mins, cool and frost. i like icing rather than frosting. just mix milk and powdered sugar until thick, add a little vanilla, and food coloring if desired.

11:36 am

no, but it sure isn't working here, erda

11:36 am

1 T = 1 tablespoon, and 1 t = 1 teaspoon, right?

11:36 am

thanks

11:37 am

that is correct, sherb

11:37 am

It's a mess, but the clues are there...

11:37 am

When I printed Lickety's this morning, it was fine. Is it messed up now?

11:37 am

ahhhh!! thank you! got it! strange word indeed... :)

11:37 am

TY Dorens

11:37 am

thanks hurshy. loving this recipe. will make it this afternoon

11:37 am

it is easy, low fat, moist, delicious, chocolatey - the perfect cake.

11:37 am

Yes, Lori, all messed up

11:37 am

some people said it clean itself up when they rebooted, not me, i just erased the problems

11:37 am

can i get a clue for the 9 letter word?

11:37 am

kristine rae u here?

11:37 am

what's with the holes? ...if you're going to mix it all up anyway...

11:38 am

Air Command...

11:38 am

i am not sure, sherb, it might be just for fun, like if you're making it with kids?

11:38 am

i just do it in case there is an actual reason. and it IS fun.

11:38 am

i have always enjoyed the making of the holes.

11:38 am

the 9 has to do with plans an army makes...

11:39 am

Back later for the final assault...

11:39 am

i like the idea of making holes. looks like fun to make as well as good to eat. a winner

11:39 am

bye douglas

11:39 am

i had this like every birthday as a kid, and would make my mom write "live long and prosper" instead of "happy birthday" - which is hard to crowd onto an 8x8 cake!

11:39 am

I just opened lickety in internet explorer instead or firefox and it's fine

11:40 am

lickety's fine in safari as well

11:40 am

Later Douglas

11:40 am

9 letter word starts with what letter an a clue if have 1 please?

11:40 am

thanks harp, good to know. i am at 110 left listless and ii just might try to do without today. don't even think i have explorer on this computer

11:41 am

any clues on the single e in the right hand column?

11:41 am

st9. adj. of or pertaining to tactical plans.

11:41 am

st 9 think of a george bush plan

11:41 am

it is going very well for me listless dorens, i have just 6 left. you can do it!

11:42 am

eg4/6

11:42 am

st9 is NOT ta4-ical...

11:42 am

thanks hurshy

11:42 am

oh well... people will get it... even if it is imprecise :)

11:42 am

(obvious really.... e4...)

11:43 am

no, hurshy, YOU can do it. for me it s far more of a challenge... we'll see how long it takes before i try to open it on safari.. never have done before

11:43 am

but please do explain the difference tween tactics and strategy, because i would like to know.

11:43 am

ta6/21 please?

11:43 am

I didn't know there was any difference hurshy, so I am interested as well....

11:44 am

st = big picture, long term... ta = detail, short term...

11:44 am

ta 6/21 - i need this!!!

11:44 am

i see no dif

11:44 am

aha

11:44 am

it rhymes with a skimpy 2 piece bathing suit - sort of.

11:44 am

hello everyone :)

11:44 am

ta + not bye, but** + **tpicking is annoying

11:44 am

hi nan

11:44 am

11:44 am

11:45 am

G'd afternoon cyber

11:45 am

11:46 am

Hooray, Team Canada ! Kelly, Jeanna, Sasha and Renee are bringing home the gold!

11:46 am

LOL hursh, couldn't think of any other words that started with **

11:46 am

11:47 am

**trous oxide, laughing gas

11:48 am

excuse me while I dive in --- watched the final game last night instead of babbling :)

11:48 am

Apparently none of you folks have had the brain freeze i had, coming up with an ** word..... :)

11:48 am

cut the end off the anchorman ra6

11:48 am

ra + where ***re is a will, there's a family

11:48 am

there;s lot's of ** words lori.... which one in particular?

11:49 am

I have the ni's Con. I just couldn't think of one to give a clue. Apparently I have pressure issues..... :)

11:49 am

Thanks Lori, but that's a ra12. I need the last ra5,14.

11:50 am

oh, note on the crazy cake (well i suppose it is obvious but): cover well after you cut into it, so the sides where it is cut don't dry out!

11:50 am

ra + ca*** the ball, in baseball

11:50 am

ra5/14 sounds like back car door....

11:50 am

It would seem my inability to handle pressure, is combined with illiteracy....

11:50 am

i wonder if my last 7 is an S or a T...

11:51 am

I understand Lori.... pressure can be crippling!

11:51 am

good clue thanks lorip

11:51 am

Aha. Thanks so much.

11:51 am

1:00 pm

hello jean1953 how are you today?

1:00 pm

thank you again hurshy, I was starting from the wrong 'I'. Mental block.... %)

1:01 pm

a bromeliad is a plant, eh? it sounds like it should be some sort of epic poem.

1:01 pm

missing a ca5/6 combo, assuming its a combo

1:01 pm

What is the ac 5 please?

(and I want to note that "I'm no bromeliad fanatic' has likely never been uttered before)

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

1:02 pm

hello ursh:)

1:02 pm

lol Takuma :)

1:02 pm

1:03 pm

Back to work, BBL

1:03 pm

oooh. so cool *fingers crossing for chocolate-covered hubby doc*

I think part of the reason I became interested in them is that, like a lot of orchids, there's something really improbable about them

1:03 pm

ragin

1:03 pm

Hello, Cin

1:03 pm

what about you, JB, will you be able to find good work in his potential locations?

1:04 pm

1:04 pm

1:04 pm

1:04 pm

ooo as in cinderella???

1:04 pm

Howdy, ConXshun

1:05 pm

jean1953 R U still there?

I can see why, in MI!

Hi, new here. Can't chat long--just checking this out after getting the toddler off to bed. The problem is, I have tried "brine" and "cite" and it says they "do not exist in the puzzle". I see all the letters there and am not using any twice; did I miss something when reading the rules???

1:05 pm

looking tropical too, inge -- how was the rouladen last night? and the kartoffeln?

1:05 pm

most people in the northern states have no idea what a bromeliad is. My husband speaks at many garden clubs for taht reason

1:05 pm

haven't seen you for a while BR. How are you doing?

1:05 pm

yes i am bena, having to answer phone at work a mo, welcome to babble MonkeyGames:)

1:05 pm

Monkey, the letters have to touch in the right order, too

Hi Monkey -- the letters have to be contiguous

1:05 pm

monkey - the letters need to be next to each other...

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames - all letters have to follow on from each other

1:06 pm

made some extra rouladen for us tonight. The mashed potatoes are my son's favorite, which he obviously never cooks himself

Oh, it's just a simple old fashioned word search puzzle? Ok. Thanks.

feel free to ask more questions -- I think we can find more than 4 ways to answer next time, too! ;)

1:06 pm

lol takuma!

1:06 pm

*grin* Takuma, you said it!

1:06 pm

jean1953 how's the weather there?

You're lucky, though, that in this case all the answers were roughly the same. That's rare

1:07 pm

'just'? ...the puzzle is incidental...

1:07 pm

its dull and grey bena and getting a little cold now

TA6,21 7,32 COMBO PLEASE

the word-generation rules are as in Boggle, Monkey, in case you're familiar with that

1:07 pm

Nothing old-fashioned about us!!! We add laughter and friendship

1:07 pm

Thanks, all. Off now to make tomorrow's dinner, clean this place up, call my grandfather in the States, prep for tomorrow, look the family-transport trike over for anything that might interfere with the daycare run in the morning, take that badly-needed shower, and collapse into bed. It's late evening here in the Netherlands.

1:17 pm

hello smooth:)

hey stid! :-D I've been working

1:17 pm

hello smooth! long time no see

US. So we are just Dutch now--dual isn't allowed. Not that we find that such a sad thing... but better not discuss politics on my first time in a group, eh?

hi jean

1:17 pm

bah! *yuck face* work. *spits on floor*

hiya con! man, a lot of faces I haven't seen in a long time!

yeah, my new scheule has changed when and how much online time I get

1:18 pm

we allow each to their own here, MG.... My kids are dual. Me dutch, hubby UK - I suppose it's different.

generally a wise policy, MG, but this is a pretty laid-back group, I think. I haven't seen an argument in many monthes

1:18 pm

well, nice to see you smooth. :)

so how has life been in babble land thee past few weeks?

Yeah, that way it's possible. But we're both from the US so we had no marry-in clause to fall back on. So our son is an echte Hollander--hij was geboren nadat wij moesten de VS paspoorts teruggeven.

1:19 pm

hey judi, have you ever posted on babanon? cause ever since the whole registering thing, it won't let me post.

2:06 pm

if yours is more cooperative, and you want to post that crazy cake in the recipe section, that would be good.

2:07 pm

Hi, Hursh. No. Never posted there. Only looked for word lists. Will remember that for the future though.

2:08 pm

well, i'll find someone who can post to do it eventually

2:08 pm

well, i'll find someone who can post to do it eventually

2:08 pm

oops

2:08 pm

hurshy, i have posted on babanon

2:09 pm

have you? lovely. would you like to post my crazy cake recipe then?

2:09 pm

i used to post as a non-member and then swmbo had to change it cause of spammers and now when i try to log in i can't.

2:10 pm

sure, send it to me.. i'll post me email on my profile until you have it. You will get spamblocked, but just temporarily... I'll get it. Make it an attachment

2:10 pm

evening all, how is everyone today?

2:10 pm

Hello, Ren8.

2:10 pm

not nec, alo, i can just post it here, it is short

2:11 pm

ungreased 8x8 pan put directly in pan: 1.5 c flour, 1 c sugar, 3 T baking cocoa, 1 t salt, 1 t baking soda. mix. make three "holes" in the dry mixture, large, medium and small. in the large hole put 3 T veg oil. medium hole, 1 T vinegar. small hole, 1 t vanilla. over all pour 1 c cold water. mix all thoroughly. bake at 350 for 35 mins, cool and frost. (i like to use icing, not frosting, just mix powdered sugar with milk until it is thick, add a little vanilla and food coloring if desired).

2:12 pm

*!*~*!* ta da *!*~*!*

2:12 pm

hello ren8:)

2:13 pm

This grid is a monkier's dream. I have typed in some of the most desperate words. I feel so validated.

2:14 pm

got it, Hurshy.. copied it onto WordPerfect. Will post after I finish this grid (8 left)

2:14 pm

v good grid, nod nod

2:14 pm

thanks alo! :)

2:14 pm

Nanner bread is done baking. Time to go out and play in the spring weather. I do believe a hike in the woods is in order.

2:14 pm

yw, tx for sharing the crazy cake recipe

2:15 pm

tis my favorite cake :)

2:15 pm

hurshy, I copied it also, will try it tonight. Thanks

2:15 pm

Hurshy - Once I buy some cocoa powder, I will bake that cake and take it into work for the guinea pigs (I mean cops) to sample.

2:16 pm

has anyone else noticed anything hinky about lickety?

2:16 pm

Don't think I have an 8x8 pan though. Would it work in a loaf pan?

2:16 pm

oh, judi, if there are a lot of cops, you better make more than one. it's only 8x8 you know.

2:17 pm

i think it might have to be 8x8 cause of how it rises from vinegar and baking soda

2:17 pm

i don't know if it would have enough power to rise loaf height

2:18 pm

you can pick one up easily at walmart or a grocery store though

2:18 pm

Yes, a loaf pan could be a disaster. I will just double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13x2.

2:18 pm

see i dunno if you can double it either, or if it only works on a small scale...

2:18 pm

it might work fine, or it might not, i just don't know.

2:18 pm

found my cacao powder, will start the cake NOW

2:18 pm

Gotta go - the tweety birds and sunshiney weather insist I come out to play. Later, all!

2:19 pm

bye Judi have fun:)

2:37 pm

2:37 pm

thnx

that reminds me, I have to find my recipe for spice cookies, although I fear it came from a vegetarian magazine that I got rid of long ago

2:37 pm

um, yes, now that i think of it, it is vegan

2:38 pm

YAY!! I found the st9 all by myself!!!

2:38 pm

though my icing - milk and powdered sugar - is not, i guess.

2:38 pm

Hints for st9?

2:39 pm

Hurshy, have you ever make that cake with almond flavoring? I was tempted to change flavor, but decided to stick with the original the first time around

2:39 pm

methinks alo left.

eh, who cares :) I don't, but I have enough friends who are vegan that I take note when I find a recipe, in case I need an idea for something if they come over.

2:39 pm

Scrabbler, st9= Risk is a game of str****** moves to concquer the world

where might this recipe be posted?

2:40 pm

thanks Inge

2:40 pm

I can't believe I missed that, thanks inge

2:40 pm

benda - the cake is good even without frosting anyway, but i suppose there are probably vegan frostings out there.

2:41 pm

I missed it too until I read a clue this monring

2:41 pm

2:48 pm

what title do you want?

2:48 pm

it always tells me my password is wrong, even right after i created a new account with a new password and definitely hadn't forgotten it!

2:49 pm

it is called crazy cake

2:49 pm

okay! consider it done. I'll ask swmbo about the password thing if I can't figure it out.

2:49 pm

oh and can you add that it needs to be well covered after being cut into so the sides where you cut it don't dry out.

2:50 pm

i guess that is true of all cakes? but in case we have any rookies...

2:50 pm

done, with addendum :-)

2:50 pm

AND can you add that my mom says she thinks you CAN double it and use a 9x13 and it works fine?

2:50 pm

"cookie rookies" *giggle*

2:51 pm

LOL, Stid

2:51 pm

i love crazy cake.

2:52 pm

amended the addendum...

2:53 pm

ty :)

2:53 pm

hurshy, to meet my goal today, I need the lower S from the left, an E from the tile next to it, and an I from the right... can you help?

2:53 pm

i hope she is right about that. she says she has not made crazy cake in a long time.

woohoo

2:53 pm

2:56 pm

ty :)

2:56 pm

in + vision

2:56 pm

Aha, I was looking for intellect

2:57 pm

or in + si5/16

2:57 pm

i should have said many brilliant in8

2:57 pm

that would have been more clear

2:57 pm

hurshy, I think there may be help about the logging in at http://help.ezboard.com/?view_article _id=160

2:57 pm

se 6, 18?

2:58 pm

I didn't have the in7 to find in7, but then you gave me the in7.....I am truly insane

2:58 pm

two suggestions stand out: make sure your computer clock is right, and try clearing the cache...

2:58 pm

se4/4 babblet + not out

2:58 pm

well maybe the cache, but i have had the trouble for a long time, way before spring ahead...

2:58 pm

thanks, hurshy!

2:59 pm

the se 6 is irish... sounds like "session"

2:59 pm

okay, I'll keep looking

2:59 pm

wow, thanks stid

3:00 pm

oh, stid... that's ok, i will try these things first and see what happens

3:01 pm

okay hurshy, email me if you like -- I have to leave soon for egg decorating. A friend of mine once had an egg hung for Christmas on the white house tree -- she does slovakian eggs, and sometimes we go to her house to play. :-)

3:02 pm

slovakian eggs!

3:02 pm

Go0d luck with your eggs, Stid. Hope you enjoyed the ones Alan sent you.

3:03 pm

I loved them, hetty -- was going to reply this evening, when I had a chance to think. it's been busy here@

3:03 pm

3:05 pm

crazy cake is excellent birthday cake...

3:06 pm

bi5/20?

3:06 pm

no, I made a cheesecake (babble recipe!) with fresh strawberries (fom CA of course)

3:06 pm

rhymes with not wrong

3:06 pm

Rhymes with opp of day

3:07 pm

thanks

3:07 pm

mmmm. I love cheesecake. Tom's bday is next saturday, now I have to decide between crazy cake, cheesecake and the cake you made last summer... maybe one for breakfast, one for lunch and one for supper? *grin*

I keep seeing heist in the puzzle

3:07 pm

Tell him Happy Birthday! Lisa's is April 2nd.

3:07 pm

me too benda, and "neist" as well!

3:08 pm

And geisha

3:08 pm

i keep seeing chocolate...(not just in the puzzle)(

hahaha harpjane

3:08 pm

I will Scrabbler :-) *chocolate*

3:09 pm

Right, scrabbler, and I'll wish us both a happy anniversary too (April 4). My best to Lisa

3:09 pm

I keep seeing geisha too scrabbler

3:09 pm

I just put Hershey's syrup in milk to satisfy my chocolate urge, and to not open the container of ice cream.

3:09 pm

hetty -- that'll be something like 60 years, won't it?

3:09 pm

i did it!

3:09 pm

i can post!

3:10 pm

yahooo, hursh

3:10 pm

yippee for hurshy!!!!! :-) what did you do differently?

3:10 pm

I'll do as Stid does for Tom for our anniversary--four kinds of cake for our four chidren's choices

3:11 pm

i think before i didn't pay attention about the validation email

3:11 pm

No, not 60 yet,Stid. Would you belive 54?

3:11 pm

so i am pretty sure hurshy was already taken - by me - and so now i am posting as hurshmeister.

3:11 pm

ah. that would do it. glad you figured it out.

3:11 pm

Great idea, hetty, and then lots of cake for all!

3:11 pm

Skiing, Jane?

3:14 pm

well, I have passed halfway, which is always my third goal. Going to head out soon.

3:15 pm

we have a ta*** understanding (spelt wrong)

3:15 pm

enhanced driver's licenses will require proof of citizenship to get them, will be slightly more expensive and will be issued in my state starting later this year. Banff is a wonderful place! you'll enjoy it.

3:15 pm

Oh Stid, please do. I'm trying to persuade Alan to take a litle trip south before the end of May--we have a godchild in Folsom CA and an ex-best man in San Francisco to go see

3:15 pm

well, we don't have specific plans yet but usually we go skiing in the Canadian Rockies in Feb. We went to the Grand Canyon this year so we didn't have to deal with the new rules

3:15 pm

Yahooo, 200. I may be back later.

3:15 pm

Hurshy's crazy cake is done! Cooling off. Who all is coming???

Salt Spring is the name of an island just north of the state of Washington

3:22 pm

Stid came for a visit last summer, and I hope she (and her mom and her boys) will be coming again

3:22 pm

It'd be fun to go there hetty, we don't get that far west too often, we usually just go to Revelstoke or Lake Louise area for a long weekend.

3:22 pm

Also Harp, there's great skiing at Mt. Washington, a 2 hour drive from here.

3:23 pm

but anything's possible, once I get my passport!

3:23 pm

3:34 pm

ra5/14 after the torn clothe please

3:35 pm

Hi all -- I have a puzzlement

3:35 pm

what's up, Jilli?

3:35 pm

i have a lovely ra***et set (tools)

3:35 pm

i love puzzlements

3:35 pm

sounds like catch

3:36 pm

unless they are sad and deal with misunderstandings

3:36 pm

could i get a clue for ta5/14?

3:36 pm

penalty box for majmom!!

3:36 pm

I had apuzzlement too. Wonder if it's the same one.

3:36 pm

Does anybody know where I left my socket wrenches?

3:36 pm

ta5/14 rhymes with BIG

did you check the garage, harpjane?

3:36 pm

that's a puzzle, harder to solve than the grid

my socket wrenches are usually under my bed, unless I'm using them...

3:37 pm

sorry never thought about the rules

3:37 pm

lol

3:37 pm

I just booted up and went here of course, then brought up Lickety and it had all yesterday's stuff on it. So I refreshed, and it still has yesterday's stuff on it but today's grid. I've refreshed a couple more times -- same thing! Any suggestions?

3:37 pm

lol

3:37 pm

everyone haves this puzzlement

alex trebek!

3:37 pm

i heard tell that it works in explorer.

3:37 pm

try clearing out your cache, jilli

3:37 pm

bbl

3:37 pm

what about trebek?

3:37 pm

bye peri

3:37 pm

my clue boxes did that then i filled one in and then pressed refresh and it worked =]

3:38 pm

bye Peri

3:38 pm

the garage is full of memoriabilia that has to be sorted out, tools are in the dreaded Tool Shed and I'm not tall enough to step over all the junk

3:38 pm

ok -- how? This is IE7

3:38 pm

leave it to bex to find a simple solution!

3:38 pm

thanks hurshy

hi all

3:38 pm

hi helen

3:38 pm

Hi T!

3:38 pm

YES Jilli! Same puzzlement as mine. Haz had it too. She pointed out Lickety would be asleep (Ozze time) so I took her advice and manulally deleted them all. Grrr.

3:39 pm

it's a problem for a lot of folks today jill, some people simply re-booted and it came back ok. I had to switch from Firefox to IE.

3:39 pm

just a look in before retiring: and see jullibus's quandry. I've had the same problem. Ursh suggested removing Lickety's cookies in your browser. It should do the trick.

hey - they just had the annual sock monkey madness festival in rockford, illinois - now who is it here that does the sock monkeys?

3:39 pm

try bex's thing, try bex's thing!

3:39 pm

can i get a clue for ta 6/21 anyone?

3:39 pm

Refreshing didn't help at all.

3:39 pm

go to tools, options, main, clear history

3:39 pm

toe sock monkey?

3:39 pm

Well, I'm using IE now, not Firefox...

3:39 pm

I'll take lickety's cookies if they're chocolate

3:39 pm

but she hasn't been around in ag4.

3:40 pm

ta6/21 ends like 2 piece bathing suit

hey harpjane...I think you should take jadeomoan's advice to find your socket wrenches

hurshy - whenever is see 'pabtrek' here i just automatically think it's alex trebek - so we've decided his alias isn't very good since we know who he is :)

3:40 pm

don't all browser have cookies?

3:40 pm

LOL

3:40 pm

I use safari.... and after a while it happened there too..

3:40 pm

i don't, i think trek, and i don't know what the pab is for. LOL

3:40 pm

you think if i refressh my socket wrenches will show up on the kitchen counter?

try it, harp...can't hurt!

nope, not toesockmonkey (kinda obvious,no?), it's someone else who does them, it's in her bio, but i can't remember who it is right now

3:41 pm

should be the same concept jilli.

3:41 pm

and i will never tell

well hurshy - of course, you would focus on the 'trek' part, lol

3:41 pm

my dad thought his dad was hip when they were working on the car and his dad said, "son, will you pass the socket to me?"

3:41 pm

THANK YOU BEX!!! Worked just fine!!!

3:41 pm

is tsm here? haven't seen her for ages!

3:42 pm

why not? i want to know what the pab means!!!

I'm glad i have a toolkit that keeps every tool secure...I'm a pretty scattered person, but I always make sure to put my tools back so I can find them again.

3:42 pm

=]

3:42 pm

ch6/30 please

3:42 pm

well, pab IS a trek fan

3:42 pm

Hi, Jilli--I'm using Safari and had the same problem. Had to wipe them out one by one and type in new ones.

3:42 pm

ch6 it to my credit card please

harp - no, i was saying there was just a tsm festival in illinois & someone here does them but i can't remember who

hahaha, hurshy...funny about your dad

3:42 pm

fiber: remove cookies in your preferences and all will be well....

3:43 pm

bex: dya owe me one?

3:43 pm

(is not true bendamalina, i just made it up cause it was funny)

3:43 pm

And thank you hurshy for insisting!

3:43 pm

3:51 pm

O.K. Deleted all cookies. Still unfixed. I give up

8:15 pm

st 9, TO

8:15 pm

are there more than 3 B words?

8:16 pm

8:16 pm

st9 is not a plual, think plan of action and make it an adj or adverb

st9 = war games/plans, but adjective. Start from the S on the left.

ah! is it a plural?

8:16 pm

there are 17 B words, eyeman

8:16 pm

no, the 8 is not related,

8:16 pm

i cannot do a large grid without bj's list

8:59 pm

How are you doing, raslas?

8:59 pm

i rarely can do the grid without a list BJ's or Lickety's

9:24 pm

9:24 pm

This is a group effort, sjf--welcome to the Babble Team. Well, we each enter our own words, but we help each other

9:24 pm

you can ask for hints or you can move the chatterbox to something less helpful

9:25 pm
