12:54 am

hugabugs, there are an, in, and ne 8-9 sets

12:54 am

have the 9's been called?

does anyone want the ES clue?

12:54 am

I do!

YEs they have cyber

12:54 am

oh... I don't have the an series

that was es 8 clue

12:54 am

yes, all of hte 9s and all of the 8s

12:55 am

what are the 9's please?

12:55 am

what??

12:55 am

hunh? herin, I'm confused.

12:55 am

oops... I said a word!! *bows head*

12:55 am

yay! i found the mi8 without a clue

12:56 am

no worries, huga....happens to the best of us.

12:56 am

YAY Fran!

12:56 am

yay fran!

12:56 am

an, in, ne

12:56 am

we'll forgive you this time hugs. (especially since i didn't have it yet)

12:56 am

thank you

um HUGA just lose the space between that last of thoughs 2 words at the end of your sentance and add the letter after M bettween the 2 vowels in the end word

12:56 am

hehe... and got all the 8's and 9's

12:56 am

ty hugs

Sorry Jade did you or anyone else want the ES 8 clue

12:57 am

I'll take clues -- so far behind!

12:57 am

yes, I do, herin!

12:57 am

the 8s and 9s are: an 8-9, es8, in 8-9-8, mi8, ne8-9, ni8, ro8 (so no one has to go scrolling through the log)

12:57 am

Please?

ok with the ES um look at the clue i just told huga for the an then

tell me when you have the an series

12:58 am

I have the an set, herin

12:58 am

nan, there are a whole bunch of long in words that start with a type of trainee (like what monica lewinsky was)

ok instead of the 'Jane **d I" put the 2 vowel at the begining then you have the word for the ES

12:59 am

I'm still lost

12:59 am

thanks Fran -- have those

1:00 am

there is an se6 that is almost peaceful, if you put one or two letters in front of it you get longer words and their plurals.

1:00 am

a bunch of chemicals i think

oh crap ok hmmm let me think

1:01 am

thanks, fran

1:02 am

yw

1:02 am

You got it, jilli

YUK!!! Not a good fit at all.

MMMM mathew mcconaughey (drool)

Patrick Dempsey... dark haired, suave as Magnum... that might be interesting LOL

not many unusual words today, 4 Es together is torture lol

Will turner and ELizabeth swan since that name is easier to spell than there real name

Frodo and Samwise?

Patrick Dempsey is too wimpy for Magnum

1:44 am

he was a real gawky teen, i guess i can't see him grown up, although he is handsome enough.

Cheech and Chong?

I love them Herin

1:44 am

2:05 am

Hi Fran, well there is some hope then

hello i just got booted looking at the Heroes website which my nerdy partner just pointed out something

2:05 am

and all the 8s and 9s are found so that helps too.

2:05 am

2:09 am

and an ro8

what about Dennis Quaid as Magnum?

2:09 am

ro8 is plural prayer beads, alt spelling

2:09 am

tx fran

2:10 am

i think he's too old dee, isn't he almost the same age as Tom Selleck?

2:10 am

i like him though

not sure; he did well in Day After Tomorrow

Mr Kaito Nakamura he was in one of the last 5 episodes (13 to 18) im not sure which one they

2:11 am

got the ro8, thx

2:11 am

the in8 is very similar to the other in8 jilli, just play with the endings.

2:11 am

i've never watched Heroes infernal

2:12 am

oh, goofy me, forgot the singular of the 9, duh

oh ok sorry

We cant wait for it to catch up on the telly so we direct down load it from the net, its having a break at the moment

2:13 am

that's great that you can do that infernal

2:13 am

so that means you got the harder one jilli! :-)

2:14 am

must dash and get ready for work....bye all

well a friend does then we watch it like a group get together

i also saw Firefly the othernight too

2:16 am

I have all the 8s and 9s now but would like to get a word for each tile and there are 4 blanks -- the left N, upper E, and 2 lower Es (middle and right)

2:17 am

jilli, the N on the left is ne4/5

2:18 am

hmf, so that a word, is it? thx

2:18 am

the right E i have one word from...ee6/18, more creepy

2:18 am

middle E is just creepy and its "plural"

2:19 am

I'm missing an 8, I've got an, es, in, ni, ne,

2:19 am

upper e, try sea eagle and its alt spelling and plurals

oh man im a dumb arse

2:19 am

oh thanks, I was almost there. Had a ballroom dancing teacher called Miss Ehler centuries ago.

2:19 am

liz, do you have ro8?

2:20 am

And Ro, what's missing please.

2:20 am

you need another in8 liz

2:20 am

thanks again, fran -- and it dropped a big fish on me

2:20 am

TY

Liz i use Ro beads in church

2:20 am

it's like the other in8, just play around with the endings

2:21 am

good jilli! (that you found it, not that it dropped a fish on you!) :-)

i am stuck on 94 words

2:22 am

2:27 am

taking a break to eat, see you all in a bit!

2:27 am

2nd row from the bottom, middle and right Es still blank. Any help?

um i have no stats jill so im no help

2:27 am

Could you give me a clue for the last of my 8s? It's one of the INs?

2:28 am

understood, herin!

2:28 am

liz, there are 2 in8s, related

i could give you a clue but youll probably be the wrong one

2:29 am

Give it a go, would you, herin!

IN 8 - go into the house is to ? it and change the first letter to 3rd vowel plus i have a k*** on my leg

2:32 am

liz, do you have plural of the alt spelling of "trainee"?

2:32 am

TY, it was the right one, I'd got the plural....DOH!

and plural for the 9 LIZ

2:32 am

good morning everyone! what a lovely clue to come in on herin, thank you. It's given me two 8's and a 7 - and I WASN"T going to play today....!

2:32 am

liz -- that's exactly what I did!

2:33 am

Yeah, got it thanks

2:33 am

Hi ConX!

2:33 am

2:34 am

lickety still behaving jilli?

sor right i try not to spell it out but sometimes its hard not too

2:34 am

Lickety behaving perfectly this time -- never did get it before

2:35 am

no, me neither. Must be a build up over time or something...

2:35 am

if lickety's list is messed up, just throw away the cookies. that's what i had to do yesterday.

i always purge my computor of cookies it stops it getting fat

2:36 am

well, I used bj's list and almost made it to fireworks -- just 4 short

2:37 am

herin, that sounds like a good idea!

Jill you got ripped off

2:37 am

you went old school then jilli! :-)

2:37 am

yep, that's what ursh told me to do yesterday, and i told jilli and hetty. It's great when probs like this get solved via the chat. Loads of people were complaining last week about the lists.

2:37 am

Right, that's 100, so I'm off to bed. BBL.

2:37 am

later liz!

2:37 am

bye liz!

2:37 am

its bad enough i like cookies and cant eat them as im on a diet so i dont see why my computer can eat them too

2:38 am

night lizmac

2:38 am

yep, the problem was the cookie was saving the tick marks and words from the day before, you just have to delete it and start with a fresh one.

2:38 am

lol herin

2:38 am

oh! Ursh said that soemetimes it also needs a restart

yep im on a diet it goes for everything darn i

2:39 am

that makes sense, fran

se i told you cookies are a bad thing

2:40 am

don't know how it works in other browsers, but in safari i get a list of them and i just scrolled down to "licketysplitaus" and deleted those

i just delet all my cookies an a regular bases but im using internet explorier

2:41 am

looky looky looky, here comes cookie

2:41 am

2:46 am

2:47 am

2:47 am

mmm not useually an issue im just snarky

2:48 am

3:24 am

Good morning Haz. Indeed we are!

now you're just making them up!

hey its bwen when you have a cold :)-

but i have a flu thing, not a cold, so it's Throat Warbler Mangrove LOL

3:25 am

OK I've hit the half way mark. Must go and get dressed and do something useful this beautiful sunny day. Bye all, see you later for the last lot!

later con

3:26 am

Bye Con,

good call gwen, and the cookies thing is best if they are virtual coolies

3:26 am

Coolies - big hats or fruit sauces?

opps typo again

3:30 am

half way and way past bedtime -- bye all! *poof*

i have a monster brain ack

3:31 am

Bye jillibus.

night jilli

. . . chirp chirp . . .

3:49 am

Morning all. Two days ago there was a word 'haar' and today I heard it for the first time ever on the weather forecast.

3:50 am

Good morning Frances - I learned the word when I was in Edinburgh as a student.

3:51 am

I wonder if the forecaster is a secret babbler.

hello again

Frances maybe they were trying to recruit more babblers

3:55 am

It just seemed odd that I had never, ever heard it in a forecast before and two days after it appears as a word here the forecaster used it.

i heard one of my rude words used and i had never heard it before on a show

where is everyone?

-- spooky music -- "Coincidence or Synchronicity??"

thanks gwen i keep forgeting to put that one in

spooky or music? LOL

the creepy one

back laters

Synchronicity is not creepy, it's just another word for coincidence used by people under the influence of magical thinking 8-)

4:15 am

Hello everyone

Hi again. Just dropping in for a bit of unwind-time--my toddler has a fever today, so he can't go to daycare, and there's nobody in the family on this continent, so that means missing my apprenticeship job today and staying home with him. Just got him down for a nap.

howdee lynxxx and monkey! and all the crickets . . . chirp chirp . . .

4:19 am

Hi Monkey. some things you just can't plan for!

It's 11:18 a.m. over here. No crickets. 'Sides, ours go creak, creak.

It's 11:18 a.m. over here. No crickets. 'Sides, ours go creak, creak.

okay, for you . . . creak creak . . . (we have pretty small crickets in Michigan) LOL

4:20 am

crickets here too - its been a warmish day so they are in full song this evening

hey again i had to rest my eyes

And no, couldn't plan for this.... but I did suspect. He had a fever (and coughing) Thursday and Friday, was tired Saturday, and was wound up out of his mind yesterday, so I thought he'd overdo it. He's into the last 10 days with his broken leg in a cast too--not fair, just getting to the point where he can run on the cast and then knocked down with a flu!!!!

one nasty flu going around here, which I have too: all the symptoms except the big D

4:22 am

Oh poor little man

Errrm, call me obtuse, but which one's the big... Oh, never mind. Oops, got it!

Speaking of that symptom, that's one he doesn't have. That one is a real hassle with a toddler, especially when I can't get out to the store for more diapers--got enough if that one doesn't start!

here's hoping there's no big D in your household for a long time!

Thanks! Yours too!

aw, gee, thanks. I've had it since Tuesday and all symptoms are gone except a coughy raspy throat and low appetite

Well, I hope you get all the way better soon!

|-D

How do I get a little flag on my profile thingy? Are you really in Wales? Nifty!

monkey, put a country in. (No, not in Wales, I put Wales in cuz i like the flag.) Although most countries there's no flag icon in there yet

but I've seen flags here from morocco, south africa, australia, new zealand, israel, netherlands, england, scotland, etc!

Aha, now I see... it's the pay-for option! I'm too broke right now. Oh well. I'm in the Netherlands.

4:30 am

Update the My Account (above) Monkey. Happens when you put your country in. Although you need to be a pro - not sure if you are?

monkey, you also get a little "bust" if you indicate your sex: daily, weekly, etc LOL

oh man

I'm in US, eastern tiem zone, and it's 5:32 am. Weee!

Up early or late?

gwen that is way to early

i know, i have the FLU and can't sleep (oh i guess that might be another symptom!) Already watched two DVDs and still wide awake as a baby bird waiting for a worm

but i work at home so the boss won't yell at me if i'm late tomorrow LOL

FLu can screw your sleeping paterns

Gwen just tell the boss your sick

oooh, phlegm!

the boss she is me

Thank goodness I like my boss (pity it's not ME, though). Today would have been my second day at the apprenticeship and I called toa sk if there's anything I can do from home, l;ike work on the newsletter or something, and she said, "Just take care of that boy, make sure he drinks plenty, see you next time!"

thats what i mean, convince your self you are sick and bable is your friend

what is the G doing in my phlegm?

monkey, you have a smart boss!

MOnkey at least your boss cares about your kids most are mean

especially 'Murican bosses

my old boss was just mean

i had the boss from hell a while back -- plan to avoid that for as long as i live

True, but I'm a first year student (at 38 years old) for a social work degree, and my apprenticeship is with a community-support organization. There sure are a lot of places I was AFRAID I'd have to work the apprenticeship through at, but this place is cool!

good to hear!

thats why i dont work got sick of being kicked while i worked

do you have a specialty like drug addiction, suicide, etc?

my first job was a corporation -- actually a big franchise of a corporation -- what a bunch of prancing idiots running the joint

No specialty yet--next year we start to develop a minor. I think I'm leaning toward refugees, but then there's autism, not to mention "weird" neurological stuff like Tourette's, Korsakov's, schizophrenia, etc. Gonna be a tough call,actually.

4:43 am

ei7.44? help?

don't have the ei7 yet, sorry!

you could go with refugees with autism, yes? 8-)

I haven't browsed enough to understand these notations... I have a couple of words with ei in them; is that the sort of thing meant?

I haven't browsed enough to understand these notations... I have a couple of words with ei in them; is that the sort of thing meant?

4:45 am

ei7/44 - ei plus a reworking of an old fashioned collective term for pigs.

4:46 am

It means it begins with ei and has seven letters.

thanks haz i was thinking piggy

4:46 am

got it in one - Thanks Haz

Got some in Dutch... sigh.

4:47 am

You're welcome - have to go but will be back later.

4:47 am

got it too. thanks haz1558. you are as helpful as ever..

4:47 am

See you later!

4:48 am

bye Haz 'til later

TY for that ei! lovely German woid!!

yah i get take away delievered to me

monkey, click on the tiny little green link at the bottom of the page called Lickety's Clues -- you will see first two letters of every word in the puzzle

oh poo my partners dad is visiting and im in my pjs

just tell him you're on the 'puter!

yep other excuse is its bloody cold out there

apparently its 20degrees out there and im in my winter pjs and the heater is on 25c

Akkk, 13 years in a non-English-speaking country has apparrently killed my vocabluary. It USED to be pretty good!

were are you Monkey

country wise

The Netherlands.

oh ok cool

were did you used to reside

I grew up in the States, Southern California. Then we emmigrated.

oh ok cool

can i have a clue for the en 7/32 please

5:05 am

Infernal - they are not friends

fish please

Hey lynxx are you cold?

5:07 am

'lil bit - but its really nice for a change

i found out its 20ish out there im inside with the heater on 25 and winter pjs and slippers, i was asking as to find out if i was sick or if it is cold

. . . creak creak and/or chirp chirp . . .

i leave you with less than 30 to go and plenty of crickets. *plonk*

At the moment, just cough, cough through the baby monitor, here, accompanied by the unspeakable sounds of a Great Dane snoring.

poor bubba Monkey, my mum used to feed me, lemon hot water and wiskey at that age to one knock the cough out and me too

and i can imagian how loud the great dane is as my friend has a mastiff

Oof... I DO have whisky... luckily he's coughing in his sleep. Last night he had a really bad coughing fit, and i went in to find him still basically asleep, but too warm and snuffly. I stroked his hair and said softly, "Are you OK, sweetie?" He opened his eyes and said brightly, "Two bicycles!" Guess he'd been dreaming. He's 2 1/2.

thats cute if hes sleeping let him at it, if you dont mind me asking how did the little tike break his leg

Poor little fellow stuck his foot into the spokes of my moving bicycle and sustained a spiral tibia break. It could have been a lot worse--I had slowed down for a car. No knee or ankle displacement, no foot breaks, thank goodness. The folks at the emergency room called it the "classic toddler injury" (everyone carts 'em around in bike seats here). I felt really guilty but they said no matter what safety precautions you take they still often manage this one. I couldn't stand the thought of it ever happening again, though, so now I have one of these, with a kid seat in it: http://www.bakfiets.nl/eng/models_carg o_trike.php

that is the bike with the 3 wheels and the basket?

Yup--it's not a basket, though. It's a heavy-duty cargo bin with benches fro kids.

awesome thats what i thought i was makeing sure off

In addition to being safe (and my friends think I'm kooky because I make him wear a helmet in the thing) it is REALLY handy. Don't know how I got along without one.

miseries

That was supposed to be in the words field, sorry.

we have this thing were there is a bike that has one wheel and attaches to the back of the parents bike

There are lots of those here too. He's way too young for those, but I'll get one in a few years.

Are we the only two here?

glad you know what i mean, the boyfriend (boy) thought it was weird but i said its better than a rear basket as its safer to have a reverse trike

then cars can see your arse and you can keep an eye on the kids i like the 4 point harness as for a helmet thats great as it teaches him that on the road you wear a helmet yep we seem to be the only ones here too

5:34 am

G'd morning Babblers!

Hi there!

now i want one too

Where are you? I know they can be ordered online here and in teh States.

and there is no supliers in aus

8:26 am

yup, got it. :)

oh man there is too many REs

8:27 am

yup, and reenlist is a phantom, just when I finally see it without pointers.

8:28 am

i dont know but i dont like it

8:29 am

8:29 am

8:29 am

le sigh - I still need 2 then

8:30 am

how come leave again isn't a good re word? dang

ok thanks for telling me that

8:31 am

I don't think there are as many re- (again) words as one would expect in this grid. So far I only found 2 combos and one loose one.

8:31 am

loose? hmmm . . . no re is an island

i have been here for 9 hours so far

8:32 am

wow. I signed on about 1 1/2 hours ago

8:33 am

I have a chess term, re + french put. And combo on notice with the eyes again, and combo on put seeds in the ground again. Also 3 words related to 'depend' - or would it be telling untruths again?

8:33 am

the an4/4 is often in the grid and i never see it until i get the list

8:34 am

you have the fishing rod ones

8:34 am

and the horse ones?

8:34 am

are they also again words then?

i am stuck on these re words

8:34 am

no . . . . .

8:35 am

the fish one starts with a part of the rod and re**, then builds on that

8:35 am

the horse one is the steering mechanism. ;-)

8:35 am

I have those, was just listing my again words :)

8:35 am

i think sprite is listing the RE words that mean to do something again, not all the words that start with RE

8:35 am

oh - duh

8:36 am

got it evan - my bad. :-)

8:36 am

;)

8:36 am

:)

8:36 am

I got pulled away--back again.

8:36 am

ah, do you have the store grain again ones?

8:36 am

cool - hello again scrabbler

8:37 am

wb Scrabbler!

8:37 am

8:37 am

8:37 am

I always wondered why si** is not a word yet re-si** is a word.

8:38 am

same here, just tried it!

8:38 am

LOL

8:38 am

*still working on that grain one*

why didnt i start with the RE words?

8:38 am

I try it in every grid, along with others that should be words

8:38 am

use an e instead of an o for the grain storage thingy evan

8:38 am

eva think tall storage out West

8:39 am

ah, the put seeds in ground again words are 3.

8:39 am

ahh, interesting

8:39 am

yep - I just finished the r's!!

8:39 am

8:58 am

ne8 ne4/8 + fishing equipment

Pathe???

8:59 am

MOVIETONE

8:59 am

haz we're showing our age :-)

8:59 am

I know Pathe :)

9:00 am

Hi everyone. Popped in to kill time until the pediatricians office opens

9:05 am

The flu wiped out our 1st graders this year...

9:06 am

The planting can be present and past tense for re6/30

9:06 am

We saw no Flu until 3 wks ago--strange winter this year--the germs are messing with us.

Yes, and last night I had a dream of one of my old, now deceased bunnies, Peter Rabbit.

9:14 am

9:14 am

VolleyMomDee would be proud of me. I did 90% of my hoemwork last night before crashing.

9:14 am

Bunnies have a body temp of 104 F--yes, warm bundles!

9:14 am

9:14 am

So, only 10 % to go, Jade.

bunnys

9:14 am

Morning, all.

9:15 am

No, Callie, Sebastian, Gandalf the Grey, and Tucker John.

9:15 am

I think I can get away with having help for the last 10% Scrabbler. It *is* a group project.

morning jade

9:15 am

You mean this grid, Jade?

Scabble i love pets but i cant look after myself so no animals for me

9:16 am

How old are you, Lady?

9:16 am

No, Scrabbler, I do mean actual homework.

9:16 am

Maybe you don't want to say, but it does get easier, Lady, as you get older.

nearly 30 i live in a flat and its tiny and i dont have a job yet and im never home so really a big responsibilty, I kill house plants

9:17 am

*mumbles something about needing caffeine & breakfast*

9:17 am

I am a fellow house plant killer.

9:17 am

I'll brb

9:17 am

What kind of courses are you taking, Jade?

9:17 am

*joins the house plant killing guild*

Jade get a 33ounce mug of coffee and that will tie you over

9:18 am

I have just 2 indoor plants, they were gifts. One is a Christmas cactus, so not watering it is acceptable. The other plant I notice when it is wilting.

i sadly just killed my plant that i got given the day my friend died, its a bulb plant so im hopeing to revive it

9:19 am

I had 4 cups of coffee, but no breakfast yet, so my blood sugar is plummeting

9:19 am

scrabblers cannot live on caffeine alone

9:20 am

That lone N word on the far left--clue?

my friend will be gone 2 years this friday, im having my 2 funky teeth out 3 days before easter so no choc for me

9:20 am

9:20 am

TY, bookgrrl---new word for me

9:21 am

9:21 am

"Wisdom" teeth, Lady?

yep one impacted and one next to it, and what ever else they can do as im holding off looking for work to get this done otherise i have to spend up to $500

9:22 am

scrabbler, I'm in broadcasting school right now. And we are almost at the end.

9:22 am

cool, Jade, so what is your goal?

9:22 am

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed in college---good luck, Lady

9:23 am

thank goodness mine have never decidedto appear!

ekky, thanks scrabbler my lovely boy is taking 2 days off work to look after me, mine grew wrong after i got punched in the head 3 times in high school, well thats what i think

9:23 am

LUCKY for you, Atalante. I fainted at home after the procedure and my mother and sister had to carry me to bed.

9:24 am

My original goal was to be on radio, on the air. But I find I have a natural talent for production, and audio direction, scrabbler. And I enjoy doing weather a great deal.

9:24 am

another clue for the an9 please

9:24 am

Lots of people have crooked or impacted wisdom teeth, Lady

yah jade - can you too talk under water?

9:25 am

Good for you, Jade. I wet my pants at the thought of public speaking

9:25 am

my wisdom teeth were impacted. And sadly, no I cannot talk under water. But I can make it sound like I can.

9:25 am

an + se 6 (the amino acid)

9:25 am

owie scrabbler!

9:25 am

*starts to whine* But I don't WANNA go to school today!!!

9:26 am

I can *just* about talk underwater, if I'm using a regulator

9:26 am

The amino acid sounds life the word for peaceful, tranquil, but change the 2nd vowel from E to i

Jade i can talk under water

9:26 am

and i don't have the amino acid

9:26 am

nvm

9:26 am

wow, atalante!

9:26 am

9:27 am

*whines more* I don't wanna get dressed!

9:27 am

And I DON'T want to go to work--1-7:30 then a boring, stupid business mtg in which my boss, Richard Head, is a jerk

9:27 am

9:28 am

LOL....yes, is that really his name?

9:28 am

LOL, no, but he is a narcissistic, control freak!

9:28 am

9:30 am

9:30 am

i almost boycotted work today! the BF was "working from home" today, so i didnt wanna go in either!!

later scrabbler

9:30 am

Unfortunately, I can't really boycott school. It's imperative I go in.

9:31 am

I'm going to be gone the rest of the week, so I need to go in today.

9:32 am

But I don't *wanna* go......

9:32 am

I'd much rather stay home & sleep.

9:34 am

awwwwwww

9:36 am

good afternoon everybody:)

9:37 am

Grovel time. te6/18 and te7/28 please

9:37 am

9:40 am

good morning

9:40 am

No she's a demon know as Sophie Pickle! Hopefully will be easier when goes off to school in September. I tutor backward readers in a local primary

9:40 am

hello harpjane:)

9:41 am

oh that must be so rewarding!

9:42 am

Sometimes deeply frustrating but also amazing on occasions. Teaching one 10 year old who then went on to teach her parents was worth all the heartache

9:42 am

the only te6.18 I have is the pl of sea birds

9:43 am

Yes! Got the birds .........

9:43 am

that

9:43 am

Hi, all. I have a te7/28, usually associated with the strength of a wire, rope, etc

9:43 am

is it for now.. now on list, started really late, sorry Alleyn.. ooh, ty Scarlet... and hi!

9:44 am

Scarlet - Got that one as well

9:44 am

what are the main reasons for children finding it hard to read? Is it mainly things like dyslexia / other known medical things? Or teaching, or what?

9:44 am

Findling today's really, really hard

Alleyn is that your little beastie?

9:44 am

Yea!! Hello, Alo and everyone!

9:44 am

using the same start as scarlet;s word, end with either **

9:44 am

ei7,44 plz

9:45 am

wahoo, you can pl that one also

9:45 am

te6/18 - one who does the action relating to the previous te7.

9:45 am

herllo scarlet:)

9:45 am

Don't have the ei - sorry

9:46 am

Hello, jean and Haz and everyone!

9:46 am

ei plus a reworking of an old-fashioned term for pigs.

9:46 am

Hello Scarlet.

9:46 am

hi Scarlet!

9:47 am

Hi, Ata!

9:47 am

got it, ex. clue, Haz... ty for the ei

9:47 am

You're welcome.

9:47 am

mm, is that the delicious after dinner drink?

9:47 am

Atalante. Many, many reasons. I don't handle severe learning difficulties but kids who do not have English as their language at home. Come from homes with no books etc. and ones that have been ill. Those are just a few of the reasons.

9:48 am

Superb clue, Haz. Thank you.

9:48 am

Glad it helped, Scarlet.

9:48 am

Old fashioned pigs? No longer pink or what????????????/

9:48 am

the idea of having no books at home ... *shudder*

9:49 am

No, an old-fashioned name for them - think of the Biblical story of the prodigal son - who would fain have filled his belly with the husks the ? did eat.

9:50 am

Pulp fiction, "I don't dig on ______"

9:51 am

Thanks for that great clue, Haz1558! Wow! That one was next to impossible for me...spent waaaay to long on it!

9:51 am

It's such a peculiar word - never encountered it before.

9:51 am

Clue still eluding me

9:52 am

think german pig Alleyn

9:52 am

ei, a plural letter, then rework the produce of the vine.

9:53 am

lol,, what fun to mistype something and have it accepted..(-:

9:53 am

good for you aloy!

9:54 am

must away, need to take the dogs out before I go to work, Happy Babbling everyone:)

9:54 am

Bye jean.

9:54 am

9:56 am

Got it. Finally .............

9:56 am

See you later, jean1953.

9:56 am

Alo, that surprises me constantly... a miscue on the keyboard and I mutter, "wow"... LOL

9:59 am

yup, surprises like that are nice

9:59 am

hello

9:59 am

hi blue

9:59 am

Good morning, bluesoul.

9:59 am

the ro 8 has to do with the flower I think, but I can't get the second part. A clue for that?

10:00 am

where the flowers might be grown

10:00 am

ro8/40 - looks like a combination of the flower and beads used in prayer, though spelled wrongly

10:00 am

Morning, Bunglers. er I mean Babblers.

10:01 am

10:01 am

Thank you again, Haz. Hello, Judi.

10:01 am

10:02 am

Great. E's and i's. Great. Shoot me now.

10:02 am

10:02 am

What's the icon theme for today, please?

10:02 am

I know exactly what you mean, Haz.

10:02 am

I still have 22 to go, Aloy.

10:02 am

Benda my coffee solution is solved by getting the 33ounce /1lt coffee mug

10:08 am

haha..but then you have to get up to pee! (or, whatnot...)

10:08 am

Wow! That's a big gulp of coffee, herinfernallady

10:08 am

How do u know there is a mi8 to look for ??

nope not really

yep i love my coffee, i drink about 2lts a day

10:08 am

miel

10:09 am

and class has started, hi herin

hi blue

10:09 am

thoy -- if you go pro, you get a chart of how many words stem from each tile. and if you go to "lickety's babble clues" (linked at the bottom) it gives you clues for the words -- let you know how many of each are in the grid.

coffee stops me from harming my partners house mate

10:09 am

hello my darlin R angle

10:10 am

i love my coffee, too...but I limit myself to one pot of frenchpress per day

10:10 am

unless I go see friends at a coffee shop....:)

10:10 am

I want to get one of those stovetop espresso makers

10:10 am

What kind of coffee do you drink, herinfern? I have to have my gourmet beans that I grind myself. I'm such a coffee snob.

10:11 am

thns evan,,...but is pro more difficult ?? I have enuff probs with this one !!

10:11 am

pro is the same puzzle :)

10:11 am

thoy -- its the same grid -- going pro just gets you extras that help you out. :)

i go to gloria jeans but it depends on if the CRAP coffee guy is there, i useually drink Gloria Geans(?) flavor beans, today we have Butter Toffee, sometimes blueberry morning sometimes white russian

10:12 am

do you pee the 2 L back into your cup, lady? *giggle* no need to get up from the babbling.....

nope

and eeewww

10:12 am

wow maybe thatsn what I need... and I thought every1 was so much btighter than me ;-))

10:12 am

hhahahaha...sorry, sometimes I have the most juvenile sense of humor

i am a role player im used to way too much coffee not enough sleep and too much game time what ever game im playing

10:13 am

Uhg. Fruit flavored coffee I cannot do. I'm a hazelnut and vanilla fan though.

10:13 am

heh, a buddy of mine was a big D&D and Shadowrun player and he had the same problem

mmm hazelnut

oh shadowrun cool my partners running that at the moment

10:14 am

I am a straight up coffee kinda chick. I'm drinking (organic free trade) ethiopian harrar right now.

10:14 am

i like it--the local farmers' market roasts it on site, so it's always full flavored and fresh tasting

Gloria Jeans has free trade stuff, i cant Starbucks and wish it would bugger off

10:15 am

starbuck's burns their coffee beans so you can't taste how stale and flavorless they are.

oh is that the deal with them

10:16 am

Haven't heard of Gloria Jeans. Starbucks is okay in a pinch. Most of it's too strong for me though. I like a mellower blend.

oh Gloria Jeans is an AUssie brand but the are expanding in the US

10:16 am

in the sixties we had to drive from Montana to San Francisco to get good coffee. We'd stock up and keep it in the freezer.

10:16 am

i think ive seen a gloria jeans in a mall in baltimore...

10:16 am

yeah...a lot of coffee's flavor has to do with how recently it's been roasted, and how recently it's been ground. starbucks, any big coffee producer, has to have beans with a longer shelf life

http://www.gloriajeans.com/

10:17 am

now Montana has great coffee--I was doing my field work up there a few years ago, and I had some of the best damn coffee from the most ramshackle looking places. then we drove out through to eastern washington...coffee was awesome everywhere

there is a usa indicator at this site and add an au for aus

10:18 am

Yes, most mass producers use "robusto" beans. Which means, literally, rubber. Stick with the mountain growns and you'll have fine coffee.

10:18 am

We grind our own with a Braun, and the taste is surreal... we love rich, strong coffee. Now, with all this coffee-talk, I am yearning for some banana- streusel muffins... which I shall go create! See you in about an hour and a half! LOL

10:18 am

yeah...robusto beans, but also "dark" roast....hahahaha

10:18 am

have any of you guys ever ad equal exchange coffee? or are you just discussing coffee at coffee ouses?

10:19 am

yeah...fair trade, equal exchange...

10:19 am

What the ell, Anyas? You got something against H's?? lol

10:19 am

sorry, it sticks on my computer.

10:20 am

Fair trade and equal exchanges coffees are usually quite good.

10:20 am

break time.. bbl

10:20 am

See you, Alo. I must go make muffins!

10:20 am

how many words today?

10:21 am

there's a coffee house in my town that exclusively uses fair trade beans--they get 'em green and roast them themselves. they have the best coffee. a few years ago, they brought some of the farmers here to meet their customers (I think the farmers were coming to the US for some sort of convention, too)

10:21 am

246

10:21 am

246 words

10:21 am

this grid isn't quite as nice as yesterday's sadly

coffee is good

10:22 am

i agree, bluesoul. i'm at 132 words, and i'd rather talk about coffee than work on the grid anymore :D

10:22 am

eh. i only put in pretty much token effort last night, since i had class this morning. i'd been on spring break all week

10:23 am

ahh, i remember spring break.... *le sigh*

10:24 am

tensile

11:34 am

{{{knut!}}} how's our girl?

11:34 am

hi stid

11:34 am

am here!

11:35 am

thanks all (especially Cryptic) :-) was beginning to think I had gone babble-deaf

11:35 am

shes doing great, stid :-) not quite walking, but there is a mouth full of teeth, lots of movement, and she even says hi and daddy at the right times.

11:35 am

Just wanted to check that there was still some sanity left in the world.

11:35 am

my picture is from her birthday last tuesday

11:35 am

how cool is that! a year already, how time flies.

11:36 am

she is just beautiful (always has been). glad to see her hair is staying bright!

siren

11:36 am

yep :-) I think we've got a strawberry blonde on our hands.

11:37 am

matches her blue-grey eyes well

11:37 am

do you ever have this problem with Spangle, Haz? http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51 731630/

11:37 am

just what I was thinking! and how about yourself? are you staying busy? rofl...

11:38 am

nagh, so many hours to just toil around here... *snickering*

11:39 am

so stidkid#2 twisted his ankle yesterday and I kept him home for observation. Pretty sure it's just a little strain, but didn't want him being silly on the playground. So I get to teach "least common multiple" to him!

11:39 am

especially since we added the puppy. (bad idea, btw, puppy = extra needy baby)

11:39 am

puppy? you got a DAWG? oh dear, and does masochism run in the family or -- ??

11:39 am

Are you ready for the shock, Atalante? Spangle sleeps outside in her kennel...... but she does love to hug during the day....

11:40 am

*shocked*!!!! :)

11:40 am

Stid - I think you can turn Babble into a math lesson... :) maybe not least common multiple but definitely some algebra!

11:40 am

Husband with very set views on where a dog should sleep.....

11:40 am

yes, I believe it does. I'll trade you my fussy teething girl and her hyper puppy for your least common multiples!

11:41 am

saying that, holly only gets to be with me at night once a week, the rest of the time she lurks in her basket

11:41 am

*giggle* Dogs are okay sleeping outside usually, but with no fences here ours stay in with us at night.

11:41 am

She is inside with me all day, but is resigned to being turfed outside at night.

11:41 am

thanks BGL, I was considering my options... LOL I did find some good explanations online (though I already knew what I wanted to say, I wanted to be sure I used the right terms).

11:42 am

hm. only if I can send the LCMs to you WITH the older kid (teenager you know)...

11:42 am

Husband now home for his evening meal, so I'd better disappear again....

11:42 am

but when she's allowed in the bedroom, she *always* sneaks up me. ending with trying to sleep on my head

11:42 am

later Haz...

11:43 am

I supervise teens at work all day, that I would agree to. now where is my transporter.... Scotty!?

11:43 am

ttfn, haz!

11:43 am

when my dear Tom is away, the German Shepherd figures it's his turn... *sigh* unless the little dog jumps up first and then I have to listen to growling all night long.

11:44 am

Did you get a new job, knut?

11:45 am

no, still work the grocery gig. I did get transferred to a new store, which is much smaller than my previous so now i function mostly as a supervisor, and since i only work nights, i get all the teen workers.

11:45 am

Knutmeg where in Illinois are you?

11:46 am

oh I see -- well supervising them is good experience for later!

11:46 am

Live in Mundelein, work in Glenview, both are just north of chicago

11:46 am

how many words?

11:46 am

246 today

11:46 am

I work in Glenview too, where do you work?

11:46 am

Oh yes, although i hope I never have to break up broom closet trysts with Livia...

11:47 am

also, live in Buffalo Grove

11:47 am

Jewel on Pfingsten/Willow

11:47 am

I go there sometimes :-D

11:47 am

I am on Pfingsten and Lake

11:48 am

:-) if you're ever there at night I'm at the service desk. i've got Livia on a button on my vest.

11:48 am

okay, kid is ready to learn, I think I am ready to teach.

11:48 am

good luck!

11:48 am

It wouldn't be likely, but I will keep in mind

11:49 am

I would be more likely to run in there at lunch time or after work

11:49 am

such a small world

11:49 am

You'll do fine, knutmeg. She'll be smart, and you'll know how to introduce good dating habits ;-)

11:49 am

back later.

11:50 am

:-) sometimes i work as early as 2, but probably not for awhile, the other closing supervisor is outwith back/kidney problems. so i will be starting at 5 all week

11:50 am

laterz, stid!

11:52 am

Had me some lunch, and feeling less cranky. To the grid! ***splash***

11:52 am

okay, my monkey is failing... es7, anyone?

11:53 am

es + 2nd vowel + ***s* cycle on the washing machine

11:54 am

11:54 am

hello everyone :)

11:54 am

yw

11:54 am

hello, nan!

11:54 am

hi everyone

11:54 am

G'd afternoon Cyber

11:55 am

G'd afternoon MP

11:55 am

how many words please?

11:55 am

246

11:55 am

246, and hello MP

11:56 am

ty

11:57 am

you too lori

11:57 am

246

11:58 am

okay, this grid goes a bit far with the comparisons.

12:03 pm

I keep on wanting an 'a' but there aren't any.

12:03 pm

lower left corner, not that its much use

12:03 pm

me5/12 the first, anyone?

12:04 pm

well bye everyone

12:04 pm

me + ***r, or a dirty look

12:05 pm

oh gosh, duh.

12:05 pm

Later MP

12:05 pm

thank you, lori!

12:05 pm

ei 7?

12:06 pm

ei + sounds like a word for pig, with the letters rearranged.

12:06 pm

ei + snake letter + hot dogs or ****ers

12:08 pm

ty lori

12:08 pm

so now we add german to the vocab mix!

12:10 pm

ei 7 is wine made from late harvest riesling grapes...

12:10 pm

yes, but around here (an our region is famous for it) it's called by the english name -- ice wine

12:11 pm

and it's not late harvest, it is wine made from grapes that have been picked at -11F. Quite a procedure -- a split usually costs around $45.00

12:14 pm

have 165 words time to go to list i think

12:14 pm

I give up. re 6/21 please?

12:14 pm

well it's late harvest in that it's not usually picked until the brix is perfect and the the temp is cold enough usually late oct or nov

12:15 pm

ne6/18? (sadly, don't have that r yet)

12:15 pm

that indeed is a late harvest wine, chic -- ice wine differs in that the grapes must be frozen and not picked at a temperature above -11 degrees to receive the designation of 'ice wine'.

12:16 pm

ne + a** you kidding me + what ** up with that?

12:16 pm

thank you again!

12:16 pm

just read your profile, chic -- have you ever read any of the "Cat Who...." novels by Lillian Braun?

12:17 pm

good clues loru

12:17 pm

lori

12:17 pm

How about the last re 5/20?

12:17 pm

and that's why it's so expensive because the conditions are unpredictable etc. I managed wine shops for many years in WA state..

12:18 pm

lori- re/6/21 re+ double hump + what ** up with that+ second vowel

12:18 pm

Yes a few of Braun's I've read.. but not lately..

12:19 pm

Thank ye muchly knut!!!!!

12:19 pm

re5/20 plural for tyrannosaurus re*

12:19 pm

You are absolutely right --- two years ago the gong went at 2:00 am on New Years Day and all the pickers had to turn out to the vineyards! --- I wonder how many of them were sober?!

12:20 pm

Bless you! Bless you! Bless you knut!

12:20 pm

ne8?

12:21 pm

Bye bye re's, thanks again knut!

12:21 pm

12:23 pm

evening everybody, am at work yet again lol so in and out of grid:)

12:23 pm

we are very fortunate -- a great supply of wonderful wines if you like whites. Although to get the really good VQA wines we still have to stock up in the fall before they are sold out.

12:23 pm

nvm onthe n8, found it, yay

12:24 pm

we have a small growing region here in AZ if you can believe it. a little micro climate area just southeast of us. The wineries there do get some of their grapes from CA for various varietals..

12:25 pm

all the ne's are bult from the ne 4/8

12:25 pm

where abouts in AZ is that, chic?

12:25 pm

hello again

12:25 pm

12:26 pm

wb blue

12:26 pm

hello bluesoul:)

12:26 pm

it's called Elgin and Sonoita about 60 mi. southeast of Tucson..

12:26 pm

We have spent a lot of time in AZ, but mostly in the Phoenix - Green Valley region

12:26 pm

We haven't made it to that part of the state, yet.

12:27 pm

12:28 pm

Do you ever get any of the BC VQA designated wines down there?

12:31 pm

They are mostly estate wines often not exported as they can't keep up with demand locally. We have some very strict laws regarding quantity and content of the estate wines. You might want to plan a trip up here some time to coincide with the fall wine festival (first week in October) -- it is well worth it.

12:31 pm

12:39 pm

Hello jean - I feel like I'll never see the end of this grid. I've been picking at it all day.

12:40 pm

me too *sigh*

12:40 pm

lol I know the feeling Haz. I dont think im going to finish this one as am work yet again:)

ok, last 2 words, the se 6/21, se 7/28 combo.. does anyone have that yet?

12:41 pm

se6/21 - one who appears to be something, and plural

12:41 pm

Sounds like, but is spelled differently to those who put things in to hold clothes together.

got that one, it's a little bit past that

the se7 is 28 pts

12:41 pm

But wrong clue.....

12:42 pm

se6/18 - se plus what controls a horse

12:42 pm

And plural is se7/28

no, it's the se 6/21 and se 7/28 combo i'm looking for

oops, sorry it is 18, but i have the one you just mentioned

12:44 pm

twiddle around haz's one a bit

12:45 pm

se6/18 - anagram of the other, sounds like peaceful

12:45 pm

Hot Ham they sound like 'scissor/s'..

12:45 pm

li 6?

i have that one, it's the word after it. if i'm thinking of the right word for your cue

12:45 pm

li6 - was in the grid a couple of days ago - li plus a seabird

12:46 pm

12:46 pm

12:47 pm

hey guys. im new here, what do i do :)

First, you pay money to each of us here in the room

2:07 pm

run while you still have the chance wee man! lol :)

2:08 pm

addiction sets in quickly around here.

2:08 pm

lol jean!

we will now become your family, your doctor, your rabbi, your therapist

2:08 pm

yes you'll be hooked after the first grid

forget life as you knew it

2:08 pm

hope you have a thick skin wee, this is a tough crowd!

wee man have you ever played Boggle?

do i try and get as many words as possible?

2:09 pm

seriously....dissect the grid looking for words you probably never heard of and havnen't heard anyone use in your lifetime.

2:09 pm

welcome, wee_man.. everything just said is true

2:09 pm

Wee, click on the Help icon above the log for the basics

yeh i played boggle

2:09 pm

yup!

2:09 pm

on the upside you'll learn different words, that you will promptly forget at the next grid

yes, the words have to connect consecutively in some direction

2:09 pm

and you can't use the same tile twice in the same word

if you are a paying member, you get the added benefit of knowing how many words start with each letter in each box

2:10 pm

and heavan forbid you write a word in the grid, in the chat box..you will get sent to the penalty box with no supper

if not, you can just ask and someone will tell you

2:10 pm

everyone is friendly here wee....well, mostly everyone..we have a troll occassionally

cool

so there are 246 words in today's grid

2:11 pm

i keep wanting to put "senile" on my list, is that a sign, or something?

2:34 pm

I'm Jewish. Is there another hint for the 1st 2 Si words except for Easter Cake? I really don't want to go through 10,000 Easter recipes to find the right words.

Minski, I know from Easter and I never heard that stupid easter cake word

2:35 pm

minski -- you can google it -- hi all

2:35 pm

whew...i locked my kid out!! lol had to let him in

(calling DCFS to report child abuse)

2:36 pm

The Easter cake is a tradition in England, and not a stupid word

2:36 pm

si words sound like the book that has songs in church

2:36 pm

Thanks, got the li4 and the en7 now just the ei/// I am in Florida.....

2:37 pm

man, i need to broaden my vocabulary

good clue maccafixx

2:37 pm

Is it a religious word? Should I be looking for Catholic websites?

no you will never find it

2:37 pm

take your wallet out minski..the catholic church will find you

2:37 pm

ty jean, still need help with the ei 7/44

2:37 pm

Minski, just Google English Easter Cake and it will be the third listing, the word will be right there

2:38 pm

sorry..couldn't resist..didn't mean to offend anyone

2:38 pm

Thanks Macca. That got me close enough to guess. Got them both.

2:38 pm

I agree. THose are not words.

ei7 is german for ice wine, uses the german word for each

2:38 pm

Go minski!

2:38 pm

min...spare me the google search please....clue it for me in noncatholic cake terms

2:39 pm

2:39 pm

for ei 7/44

someone did...it sounds like a book of songs in church, but spelled differently

2:39 pm

If you google Easter Cake you will get the 4th link down (a BBC one) and the answer is there

2:40 pm

if you Google English Easter Cake it is the third listing

2:40 pm

i am too lazy to google search, i will just skip it!

2:40 pm

Thanks everyone....Fireworks for me,,,now back to work.....

2:40 pm

That was a clue I gave some time ago but it probably wouldn't help someone who is Jewish

2:41 pm

YAY Nancy

2:41 pm

the si words sound like the books that have songs in church. to quote mecca

2:41 pm

momof3, I don't like to google either, but the word is in the third listing if you just Google English Easter Cake, really easy

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

2:51 pm

Hi all, getting a very late start to such a large grid.

2:52 pm

es is what the word starts with...like..EStates and the 7 means, there is 7 letters in the word and the 28 means it is worth 28 points

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

I think your explanation was a very good one, Momof3

2:54 pm

3:07 pm

Nono, one night I had just one word left, a four-letter one at that, and nothing I did make any sense. I was too stubborn to ask for help on it, and later, discovered I was looking at the wrong end of the grid to find it. Color me very thick... and I don't think I have learned to expand my vision since then... LOL

3:08 pm

ok....must go throw raw meat at the natives and get to the gym....good luck all....WELCOME wee man

Great minds firefly??

in7/7 paris and hilton

3:11 pm

I had to change my picture. We took Paigey skiing for the 1st time this weekend. She's just a bit over 2. She loved it and doesn't understand why she can't ski anymore. I keep trying to explain that you need snow to ski.

it feels really good :)

3:11 pm

indeed Scarlet

3:11 pm

LOL, wee!

3:12 pm

What a darling picture, Minski

3:13 pm

Thanks Mom.

3:13 pm

Minski, she is a darling little girl...

3:15 pm

She kept saying more....more for about 20 minutes then it was all done...out....out. The guys in the rental office didn't even charge us for her equipment. It was huge for her. So cute and funny.

3:16 pm

Maybe you're incubating an Olympian, Minski?? LOL

3:17 pm

Maybe. Waterville Valley has produced more than a few Freestyle Skiers for the US Ski Team.

did you catch my drift scarlet?

3:18 pm

a clue for re5/20 please, I think there is only one

3:18 pm

There must be something in the air, Minski!

tine

sprry

3:18 pm

No pressure though. Going that far involves competeing and skiing every weekend all winter and spring and committing summers to ski camps, etc etc. If she wants it that's fine but it's a huge committment and I won't push her.

3:18 pm

not to worry I have found it now

3:20 pm

My children have continued to amaze me their entire lives, and all I had to do was support them emotionally, listen to their minds and hearts, and hug them breathless when they returned.

3:21 pm

yepper. I'm there with you Scarlet.

3:21 pm

It's the only recipe I know...

3:23 pm

any clues for mi 5/12 or mi 6/21?

an old grumpy man

3:24 pm

When someone is a pennypincher, he's known as a mi***

3:24 pm

3:25 pm

3:25 pm

3:26 pm

good evening babblers! Back to finish off...

3:26 pm

3:28 pm

3:29 pm

That's the plural of the pennypincher

3:29 pm

it has been a severe struggle to get this far and these SEs are getting boring now

3:29 pm

oh! sorry! thanks

3:30 pm

If you're looking for the mi8/45, it is plural of the most dejected feelings, also the plural of a Stephen King nove.

3:30 pm

el 5 and 6 = tree resin and plural

3:30 pm

i'll take some clues for other 8's besides the mi :)

3:31 pm

Think of a truncated word for the early schooling before middle school, with an i instead of an e for the third vowel... and plural

3:32 pm

thanks Kateq. Am looking

3:32 pm

Firefly, I have an8/40 and the pl. 9/54. Sounds like a response to a question, minus the "w", add ending of citrus fruit tanger***

5:20 pm

Annie, you sashayed, I sidled, and Feather... how did you enter?

ut im addicted

5:21 pm

i plonked.

5:21 pm

5:22 pm

5:23 pm

i saw many more words right off the bat with yesterday's grid. don't seem to be doing as well today

5:24 pm

I need some real emergency help with this grid, especially the s-words. Yesterday's grid was fun and fairly fast, but today is making me work very hard. Is anyone clueing tonight for the less adept? LOL

5:24 pm

i would, but only have 69 words so far!

ro5/5 like a flower with an extra vowel

nele

oops

5:26 pm

I have 23 words left to find, and it isn't looking great. Does anyone have the se5/18 and 6/30 combo after the plural finches? Please?

i only have 4 out of the 8 8 letter words :(

5:26 pm

wanna oopsie a word that's really in the grid? lol, jk

:)

you tried it i see

5:26 pm

Scarlet - I have finished, so might be able to help.

5:26 pm

yup, i'm a follower like that

i am too (but don't tell anybody)

5:27 pm

hehe

5:27 pm

se5/18 - se plus a three letter argument/means of propelling a boat

serow

not THATS an oops

5:27 pm

And then plural for se6/30

5:27 pm

Thank you very much, Haz. That seems to be our relationship in Babbleland! Thank goodness for your goodness! Found them! Thank you, Haz!

5:28 pm

ha, i did it before i saw yours in the box!

5:28 pm

You're welcome.

5:31 pm

I also have trouble with the four words listed prior to Samoan coin: se5/10; se6/18; se6/18; and se7/28.

5:32 pm

Begin with the se5/10 - formed by adding a vowel to Spanish six. se6/18 adds a consonant to make it the person who.

5:32 pm

The next se6/18 is structured in the same way, but replaces the final vowel with another. Then plural for se7/28

5:33 pm

thanks haz

5:33 pm

No problem, feather.

5:34 pm

Thank you, Haz. I now have the first se combo. Now, I have the second. I never heard of those words before this evening.

5:34 pm

5:55 pm

Hello cw.

5:56 pm

Hello, cwwizard.

hi cw

how can i go to the list with 108 left?

6:00 pm

Just do it. And no recriminations.

there are not enough eeeeeeeeesssss

6:01 pm

This is one of those grids that compel you to "list" earlier than usual....

i would at least like to get below 100

6:01 pm

*compels* Bad!

one-compels ; grids-compel sounded ok to me :)

at first i thought you might have said a word, but too bad, no 'c' or 'p'

6:04 pm

LOL, hk.

ok 99 - off to the list

6:07 pm

I cannot find the last re word, no matter how much I have mon-keyed it. It is listed after the process of reseeding. Thank you to anyone who helps.

there are 2 processes of reseeding that i have

6:08 pm

It's an unlikely plural of a Latin king

6:09 pm

Hmmmm. Haz, I'm looking.

6:09 pm

Plural of Re* Harrison the actor

6:09 pm

Or r + former romantic partners.

ah - i didn't have that one

hiya jac!

6:09 pm

Evening all, btw.

6:10 pm

Thank you to Haz, bookwomen and Jacula. Hey, Jac! Good to see you!

6:10 pm

Good evening, Jacula.

6:10 pm

ae=eagles nest

same as ee scary, but change the first two vowels

6:10 pm

6:13 pm

See you later, Hell.

6:14 pm

Bye helen.

6:14 pm

Until later, helen.

6:14 pm

Haz - are you done? I've still got 16 to go. Was busy in the greenhouse for most of day.

6:14 pm

Yes, Jacula, finished earlier in the day. We had great weather today as well.

6:15 pm

A belated 'well done' to you then, Haz.

6:17 pm

Thank you - it was one of those days when I kept having to come and go. It was a relief to get finished.

6:19 pm

I'll be done soon; down to 11 now. Sad news, btw. I found Dot, one of our young g/pigs, dead this evening.

6:19 pm

You've been having a real run of deaths lately - that's too bad.

6:20 pm

Worse today because it's my daughter's birthday.:-( She's out for the night and so I haven't told her.

6:20 pm

Haz just on congrats all i see is e,s

6:21 pm

That does make it worse, Jacula - will she be quite upset?

6:22 pm

Thanks diem - the e letter does tend to predominate, and s doesn't want to be far behind.

6:22 pm

Not as upset as she used to get when she was younger. At least I hope not.

6:22 pm

6:25 pm

Goodness - I'm drowning in a sea of 's' words here.

6:25 pm

Don't forget to 'deconstruct' the in9 - there are lots of words in the sequence.

6:26 pm

got those, now just need the first or second in 5,10

6:26 pm

The s words appeared to be endless.

6:27 pm

The first in5/10 - something which is laid into something el4/4

6:27 pm

got that one, it's the other, I guess

6:27 pm

Oh well, at least the 's' words are normal words.

6:28 pm

in5/10 - to bury - it begins the whole sequence

6:28 pm

oh, what a dope I had them both the whole time!

6:28 pm

I could ahve figured it out if I'd remembered to look for a 2 point letter....

9:03 pm

don't know whitewitch

Yes, you could have an infection in the mammary glands

9:04 pm

that would usually cause pain also

hiya whitewitch!! did you see, they are having ads for bb8 - starting soon, don't know exactly when

9:04 pm

Hi whitewitch1111!How are you?Welcome to the grid

just sometimes I have pain

9:04 pm

There are also certain hormonal imbalances and pituitary disorders that can cause breast enlargement

9:05 pm

I have that one dawg, need the last one after the desert mountain one

hi helen, didn't see the ads. Thanks for the info.

I would suggest you see your dr right away

pain is a sign you need to see the doctor

Breast tissue is also very vascular so you could have a clot or blockage ... either way, see your dr right awy

pain could be from something minor like inflammation from an infection

9:06 pm

me+ snake + the other half of the hawaiian goose

thanks for the clue jac

9:42 pm

li4/4 is when a bank puts a li** on your house.li 4/4 is a person that doesn't tell the truth w/different last vowel ladynoir1013. Those are all the li 4/4's I have.

9:42 pm

tooknap - are you still lost in the sea of 's' words? Horrible isn't it? They're all normal words though.

i don't think they're all normal - i quit the se's & moved on

9:42 pm

normal, but oh so many

9:42 pm

li + r + 3rd vowel

9:43 pm

another li4 is not truths

Got that one doxy, monkeyed it

9:48 pm

er... geman

9:48 pm

crap my R is broken

9:48 pm

I still don't understand why anyone puts words onto the Lickety list instead of just entering them. You don't get penalised on here for wrong words, you know. Not yet, anyway. *evil grin* You can just wait until you can't see another single word and then download Lickety's (or BJ's) printable list.

9:49 pm

lol

9:49 pm

Hello dlfox!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

I dont have babble pro, so lickety helps me

9:49 pm

hi minerv

9:50 pm

last se 6, 33?

9:50 pm

re6/30, last one?

9:50 pm

Pay up Black Lady! It isn't that much for a lifetime's membership. LOL.

9:50 pm

I just use lickety to figure out the length of the words I need...if I can't figure them all out myself...it is part of the puzzle isn't it?

9:51 pm

anyone know what oo5/10 means?

dlfox - click on the question mark next to the word & it will tell you the dfinition - it's like magic!

9:51 pm

However, (sound of old person talking) I remember thee days when neither of the lists existed. We just took our chances then... worked hard, thought hard and just got on with it. *grins*

9:51 pm

Most of us still do it that way.

9:51 pm

I did - undefined

9:52 pm

i always wait as long as possible then print list, never tried entering into lickety first, seems twice the work

I do too, until i cant find anymore on my own, then I go to lickety

9:52 pm

se6/33-a person who's more good-looking/handsome.

yeah - that was after she walked all the way to the computer, shoeless, in the snow, uphill both ways, LOL

I just dont want to print the list and then write it by hand

9:53 pm

sometimes I can finish the puzzle without the list...usually the clues in the chat are more fun than the list, but I do use it. lol hk

9:53 pm

I do that,I print the list and write the words by hand

9:53 pm

i do not go to the list until after I get half the words.

9:53 pm

a clue for the ne6/18 please?

Everyone has their own way of doing it, the point is to have fun with it

9:54 pm

I'm missing an re 5/10, 6/18 combo, it is in the middle of the list, after what you give the landlord. Help?

9:54 pm

I have fun indeed

9:54 pm

is there a desire for 3 letter clues e.g.

9:54 pm

wor 5 / 18 wor 6 / 30 wor 6 / 30

9:55 pm

re + look with your eyes

9:55 pm

Hell, dear friend, I appreciate the Monty Pythonesque post. LOL. However, what I was working up to saying was that we only had our own resources and each other to finish the grids and that's why the Babble community grew as it did.

9:55 pm

add a consonant to the end

9:56 pm

Holy cow...I just got the se5/12...should have spotted that one a long time ago!

9:56 pm

doxy was that for me?

9:56 pm

yep

Monty Python post? Did I miss that ? lol

& a great community it is too!

9:57 pm

Any hints for the last me5?

sw*ne

9:57 pm

9:57 pm

lady noire - print the list and then write it by hand? You can just save the list to 'notepad' and then stick it up next to your wordlist, you know. Just so long as you've exhausted all other possiblities before you do that. LOL.

9:57 pm

I joined the community after the lists were available...am I still a part of the great community???

.... I work all night and I sleep all ....

.... I dress up in women's clothing and hang around in bars .....

I cut down trees ....

10:00 pm

i was thinking about that earlier today, jac. the list is so helpful to me. but i really, really enjoy the chat and the clueing. I was also thinking though, when i first started at babble, i didn't know about lickety's list. my goal was always to find 1/2 the words on each grid. now with the list...fireworks are a daily goal.

any hints for the last me5?

10:00 pm

lol jacula

10:00 pm

ummm...did anyone clue the ne6/18?

10:04 pm

Hi tedybeth.

10:06 pm

ne5/18 is a type of clamworm. Google it! Failing that, take ne + an re4/4.

10:06 pm

Actually, I was part of that community until about my fourth day doing the grid...and then it was stidmama who turned me on to the list...so blame her! LOL

10:06 pm

11:05 pm

Dispatch - here in UK us 'older folks' just get on with things rather than drug them.

11:05 pm

good - cause 50 is OLD - i am going to be like pida & skip it too

11:06 pm

No offence intended, btw.

11:06 pm

but methinks peeps who are 50 know what's going on

11:06 pm

11:06 pm

Good evening (afternoon, morning?) all. Want to thank you for reminding me I am long past 50 and another one coming this week!

11:06 pm

We do, tooknap - tha's why we are sometimes bad-tempered and impatient.

11:06 pm

last year, i sent birthday cards to my girlfriend group from grammar school - on the cover: 50, it's no big deal - on the inside: IT'S A HUGE DEAL - & i wrote, so huge, it'll take you a year to get used to the idea, happy 49th!

11:07 pm

Hi Hoot!

11:07 pm

hi hootie!

11:07 pm

Hi jac

11:07 pm

but politeness and tolerance should come at any age. and if you are having trouble with those, you should seek help, not offer an excuse.

good morning/afternoon/evening (check all that apply) babble buds!!! think i'll finish this grid if i start now?

11:07 pm

Hi tooknap - wish I'd done that this afternoon

11:07 pm

I like that, hk, sounds like a good group

11:07 pm

tx jacula

11:10 pm

No juicy Lucy clues, LOL.

11:11 pm

Oh come on. The naughty ones are the ones you never heard of and never will again!

11:11 pm

Dispatch - I still await your reply.

11:11 pm

oh...sorry..let me scroll down...was in the grid...hang on...

11:12 pm

I have to say I attend to agree with Dispatch's idea.

11:12 pm

Ok - I'll try myself later.

11:12 pm

an + nerve gas + e

11:12 pm

are you asking what type of help?

11:12 pm

hoot - when did you ever get off on hearing words like an8 & 9? em7/32 must have been more of a turn on? LOL.

11:12 pm

A bit of rough!

11:12 pm

or are you asking what politeness and tolerance are?

shoot can't think... what's the nerve gas

11:13 pm

11:14 pm

hi liba!

11:14 pm

*problem

11:14 pm

hi tooknap!

11:14 pm

hiya libs! long time, no see!

11:15 pm

hey helen!

11:15 pm

se5/10 is the active verb form of se4/4 - that horrible practice of sewing mouths up.

11:15 pm

my icon is ancient--have been babbling but have been too rushed to chat...

11:16 pm

Again I ask.... what's the theme for tomorrow?

11:16 pm

i don't have a problem with you or your posts. just like you, i am stating my opinion. min addresses everyone with a polite, friendly greeting. you came down hard on her for that and asked her not to do it again. i'm suggesting that you return her politenss and just say hello instead of criticizing.

11:16 pm

your other posts were offered as an excuse that you are 50 and grumpy.

11:16 pm

pris - victorian cards

11:16 pm

and, again, bbl; must clean up after late din din-- see y'all at the flip

11:17 pm

ty HK

11:17 pm

if you know that you are grumpy...wouldn't you rather be happy? i'm just suggesting that if you know you are grumpy, why not do something about it instead of offering your age as an excuse

11:18 pm

whoa, dispatch, I think jac was being ironic...

11:18 pm

and her friend knew it. . .

11:18 pm

let's all take it easy, shall we?

11:18 pm

Dispatch - if you had been here long enough you would know that Min doesn't take offence from what I said,. You would also know enough to know wher to go to find what she was on about in the first place when she chose that greeting.

11:18 pm

a pissing contest is a pissing contest wether its vineger or sugar water

11:19 pm

what she is on about? and did you miss the post from min saying she agreed with me???

11:19 pm

vinegar (typo)

11:19 pm

stepping in for a quick Hi !!! I see a few familiar faces and a few new friends...how is everyone doing??

11:19 pm

hi circe! just waiting for the flip & watching some sparks fly

11:20 pm

anyone need some help?

11:20 pm

hi...uh oh...what did I walk into? Sparks...I could use sparks with 124 left! hee hee

11:20 pm

I'd love to tell you to eff off, dispatch, but we don't do that on here, and I don't want to say that to you anyway. We all live and learn on here, I have, I still do. You are learning and you will still do.xxx

11:20 pm

11:21 pm

11:25 pm

Good night Min

11:25 pm

11:26 pm

Hello Dispatch...

11:27 pm

jac...no point was missed...you are 50, grumpy, and insist that's the way it is where you come from. my point was...you don't have to live a grumpy life no matter how old you are or where you live. it seems that my "newbie-ness" and your "grumpiness" just won't mesh tonight.

11:27 pm

Nite, min.....see ya in the chat tomorrow

11:29 pm

Dispatch -nyou might be right. Let's begin again another day.

11:30 pm

hiya douglas

Helen you should have been working on the puzzle instead of roaming around. Double thank you!

11:35 pm

I have ONE word to go--re6,21--??

11:35 pm

Dispatch - I'm used to big sites where groups come together in harmony and also very small sites where a dozen or so, who all know each other, meet on line. I guess I went into small site mode.

11:36 pm

I would be re**** if I didn't thank helen

11:36 pm

Sewing birds eyes. I don't look for definitions any more since I usually get either not found or "do you mean..."!

11:46 pm

sexier! ROFLOL.

11:46 pm

OOPS! Sorry.

11:47 pm

I am indeed! :D

11:48 pm

Of course you are, hoot. The sewing of the birds' eyes begins with 'seel', btw.

11:48 pm

11:48 pm

I finally did look it up to find out what you were talking about. I had forgotten that part of falconry.

11:50 pm

yw, Dis

11:50 pm

I don't think they do that any more. Use hoods now.

11:51 pm

Yup, hoods, I hope now. Do you really believe they don't sew the eyes up any more?

11:52 pm

Having met a few falconers and talked to them - yes.

11:53 pm

Hoot - where have you met your falconers?

11:54 pm

douglas...have you finished?

11:54 pm

Besides ... now we have the ASPCA - you must have an equivalent?

11:54 pm

Hoot - I've heard same in UK but believed few. Sadly.

11:55 pm

A couple at SCA events and once at a museum the bf & I stopped at.

11:55 pm

Nuts! PETA would be on their arses in a heartbeat!

11:56 pm

Yeah, well, try Scotland and see what they say.

11:56 pm

Well we'll have to notify PETA and watch them annoy the he** out of them!

11:57 pm

You must have some kind of animal rights fanatics there?

11:58 pm

Never mind, falconers (well, not them, but their bosses, still seel falcons.

11:58 pm

That may be the problem then. Our falconers are all independant. Do what they want, not take orders.

11:59 pm

Any last minute clues?????

11:59 pm

look both ways before crossing :)

11:59 pm

Hoot, I've reached the point where the US & Canada don't conern me any more.
