you lose unhealthy weight, and gain healthy weight.

12:14 am

12:14 am

totally cleanses your blood

12:15 am

during a fast?

12:15 am

yep

12:15 am

and feeds your imagination...

12:15 am

if you need to gain weight you will. i fyou need to lose you will. it's pretty amazing. not some fad thing. a true cleanse

12:16 am

he needs some sustenance.

no fair putting "zulu" in a prominent place when it's "not found in the dictionary"

12:19 am

lol jilli

12:19 am

proper noun, right?

12:19 am

12:19 am

I am going to learn zulu while I am in Africa!

12:20 am

Oh sure, proper noun, but still not fair *pouts*

12:20 am

I am not doing very well with this puzzle this time around.

LUUP a wolf that has hicups?

1:38 am

Strange that zulu is not a word

Ursh i think its a noun i dont know why its not excepted but thats my theory, it could be bunnies

1:39 am

thats good Monkey

1:42 am

glad little monkey is getting better :)

Me too, but I have missed WAY too much school this quarter and i have no idea if i'll be able to pass. Luckily there are later chances, so the worst that could happen is more work later.

Grrrrrrrr

1:44 am

well done sprite

can i kill my partners house mate again

1:45 am

what's has he done?

1:46 am

liked the grid, but today I had most trouble with the short words, lol. Cu4/9, Ve5/18, Tu4/8 and Sc5/16 especially.

1:46 am

not if you don't want a cell mate, lady

has the computer up too loud, bitching at my b/f for not clipping the tree back that has to be done due to over hanging stuff thats been whinged about,might we add my other half has had 1 week off in a year has worked the last 6 months for about 12 hours a day nearly 6 days a week, not putting money in the house keeping tin and breathing.

1:47 am

death, generally, is quite permanent

Sprite a cell mate might be nicer

I could get really fit and healthy on the inside :)

1:48 am

BabbleRabble has a point there... if you have to do it again, you did a lousy job last time

If i had the power of reannimating dead bodies his would be on the last on the list

Hey, cool, there's a chemical word important in a dog's diet.

1:50 am

walking dead house mate - scary

1:50 am

Monkey said a wo-ord, Monkey said a wo-ord :)

Sorry, just thought it was cool. I'll watch myself.

Since the lazy bleep hasnt put money in the tin and i get paid tomorrow i may raid my purse and take my other half out to dinner

1:52 am

just teasing, Monkey, don't worry :)

how did i miss the ea? food consumune thing

1:52 am

Monkey this is an adult based game but there can be an issue with words that really are ick

aude

2:16 am

If there word is in enable then it should be allowed no matter what the word is

2:17 am

the not there

Thanks for that fu. Her, I'm one of those offensive kooks who belive no words "really are ick". Except, of course, ick, the goldfish disease.

2:17 am

second that opinion saph

that is true saph i agree its just a word but last time people did get upset and thats their thing so be it, mine is i try to be pg so i dont get booted for being a potty mouth

2:18 am

besides it's up to parents to see what their kid's are doing, not up to Dr God

2:19 am

101 - that'll do for now - night all

true true true, there was a fit last time so i was a bit suprised to see it appear again. that said my brain has evaporated

Good morning/evening all.

3:26 am

Hey, Morning Haz!!

3:26 am

Hello, Haz pretty quiet here

3:26 am

Hello there - it seems to have gone quiet, you're right, BabbleRabble. Hi, FMitch, haven't seen you for a while.

3:28 am

Thank goodness another reasonable grid length for today.

3:28 am

I haven't had time to chat this week.Did F get home OK?

3:29 am

She did, thanks and she has spread herself and her 'stuff' around nicely.

3:30 am

Ah the price to pay to see ones offspring. Sticky grid today, am battling to find each word now. :(

3:31 am

It does look a bit tortuous. She had spent the weekend in Bath (one of her flatmates lives there) and has come home raving about it. The crypt in the Abbey was a big success!

3:34 am

Hi Haz, FMitch, Rabble. Clue for the ar6?

3:35 am

Good morning hydra.

3:35 am

Hi hydra, don't have it yet.

3:35 am

hello, hydra

3:35 am

But I bet BabbleRabble does.....

3:36 am

ar 6 --- batman dodger

3:36 am

Lovely poppy, Rabble

3:38 am

I knew it! Thanks Babble.

3:38 am

Good clue but can't get it. I thought his enemy was theJoker...

3:38 am

Think of Oliver Twist

3:38 am

art + sated, less one

3:40 am

That worked Haz.

3:40 am

arrr the F's ar ffffffffflipping driving me crazy. !! morning all. x

3:41 am

Good morning M3 - this looks like alphabetti spaghetti with all the wrong letters.

3:42 am

I'll second that!!! Hi M3

Back briefly. I have f's. Can I help?

3:43 am

BabbleRabble - you're suppose to say something encouraging at this point like 'a stroll in the park' or ' piece of cake'.

3:44 am

I really think it is a nice grid ... I have been boogalooing down broadway

3:45 am

Oh Babble! I'm feeling more like crawling into a hole than boogalooing anywhere!

3:45 am

But I have found an au7 so life is looking brighter.

3:46 am

did I mention the white coats were in pursuit?

3:47 am

No, you didn't, but it's a strangely comforting image.

3:48 am

found that one thank you Haz...and a tr7, and hello everyone !

3:48 am

Good morning, Karys. We'll be stretching our word skills today.

3:49 am

Morning Karys

3:49 am

going to intersperse ( that's a nice word ), with the ironing today

3:50 am

Thanks, Haz and Rabble. Got it now. Morning Karys.

3:50 am

You can take your frustrations (no it's not one of the f words) out on the clothes.

3:52 am

looking at this grid, the ironing seems like light relief !

3:53 am

au 7/36; az 7/52; de 7/32; fa 7/44; mi 7/44; si 7/28; ta 7/32; tr 7/32

3:53 am

I've just found a cu6/30 - used in Fermanagh to talk about a young boy, but no dictionary definition given here. It has the same structure as a loving hug, but replaces a consonant with a vowel.

3:54 am

thnaks Haz

Thanks! Cool one! There's also a t word that is an important element in a dog's dietary requirements. Cool long word.

3:56 am

mi6/27 - Scots word for a house that needs cleaning. (literally a dung-heap) The Scots are so descriptive.

4:00 am

Hello All

4:00 am

Evening lynxxx

4:00 am

hope it's not freudian, but that was my first word Haz !!

4:01 am

hello lynxxx

We won't discuss what MY first word today was....

4:01 am

ahhhh......

4:02 am

we use discriptive words alot so u can't understand us! LOL

4:02 am

I'm sure your house could never be described thus! Anyway, sorry to run out, especially since lynxxx has just arrived (recovered your equilibrium after the other day?) but I'll be back later to continue the torture. Chin up, people, this is just a game, and we pay to enjoy ourselves.

4:03 am

pay or play?!?! TTFN Haz

4:03 am

is that play or pay Haz!

4:03 am

Byee!

4:03 am

See you later Haz - and I'm sure I'll have no trouble with that mi either

4:03 am

Pay! We've paid membership so we can torture ourselves and our brains!

4:04 am

bye Haz

4:04 am

I'm off.....

4:04 am

lol - bye Haz

4:06 am

just going to have this cuppa, then I must make a start

4:12 am

Found the z5/20 = a river in central Africa, former country name or money equal to 100 makuta! Think that covers it :)

4:14 am

ty Mitch

hello

4:15 am

hello herin

hey karys

pardon my bad spelling my tooth is playing up and everyone can bite my butt (no one in particular) and the net doesnt want to play nice

4:18 am

tx for the z fmitch - how about ar6?

4:19 am

ar6/30.....sated with paintings ursh !

4:19 am

ar 6 -- actor carney and sated, less one letter... go north

4:20 am

yw ursh, the ar6 is part of a characters name in Oliver Twist.

what is the rest of that z / 20 please as in ar 6 etc

4:21 am

back in a bit !

4:21 am

tx all got the ar

4:22 am

za -- 6 --- add band that sang money for nothing, d*** straits

thanks i got it

ve6?

just trying to figure out why aude and zulu are not accept

4:25 am

ve 6 -- add a **** of passage, or initiation

Zulu is proper; I guess the other z got away with it because it is also a currency. Not sure about aude.

BabbleRabble--Thanks, thought I'd already tried that one!

aude means lout in french and i know that certain words have been accepted

4:28 am

other than to vent, to maunder about words is futile since the enable dictionary is notorious for being capricious

true true true gives me head scratches some times

ur5/12, not the fluid (unless both are)?

4:30 am

BabbleR - if u have finished, can you pls let me now how many mi6.27 there are - I have 2 so far but Haz mentioned clued another one I think.

Monkey i think one is an acid

4:31 am

ur 6 --- add past tense of eat

4:31 am

there are three, lynxxx

Monkey: i dont know my head feels like its going to fall off so i bid up all farewell

4:32 am

TY BR - and apologies for poor spelling! been a long day

4:33 am

should be: ur 5 --- add past tense of eat

4:33 am

none required, lynxxx

Thanks for ur. Had to run change a diaper, back now.

4:35 am

Hi everyone

Hi!

4:36 am

4:36 am

Hi Hodag

4:37 am

Hi Monkey,Bab-Rab and Lynn,how is everyone this morning?

4:38 am

Feeling just dandy now that I am home TY Hodag

4:38 am

all parts accounted for, and no acute distress.... how about you?

Doin' OK. Little Walter is much better today, but still has this flu. I am WAY behind in my schoolwork thanks to this and teh leg and all, but teh worst that can hapopen is I have to make use of teh "herkansing" period later and redo a bunch of stuff.

Sorry for all the tpyos.

4:40 am

I am good,and glade all is well with you-all. Monkey sure glade the little guy is feeling better! :)

Yup. No fever yesterday or today, but we went to the doctor yesterday anyway just to rule out ear infections and the like. He has much of his energy back, but not most.

morning babblers, how is the grid treating everyone today?

un6? Not the one that's a past tense of un5.

4:44 am

Hello NoNo - it seems a bit of a brain teaser

4:44 am

good day, NonoNanette .... fun grid for me

4:44 am

My grandaughter (2yrs.) had the flu also last week also and then mom&dad caught it,such a house-hold but,their all fine now! Hi Nono..:)

4:45 am

un 6 --- false

How could I have missed THAT?! Thanks!

4:48 am

Morning! Ouch! Beginning at the end, ie. with the z. All good until the t words!

I have a lot of t words if you need clues.

4:49 am

No te words have sprung to mind

Oof, those are being a problem for me too. Sorry.

4:50 am

Shame! Also missing the un5/12

To disentangle, as it were

Or to join; two words are un5/12

4:52 am

Still not twigged!

un-neck***

Then a VERY similar word; an anagram meaning to join

4:53 am

Got that one that means - to undo the string or cords of.

Rearrange it a bit.

4:53 am

Silly me!

Now I am stuck on the two tr6 words.

Off to put little Walter down for his nap. Back soon.

4:56 am

Monkey Games. I have one tr6/21. It is the 7/32 without the a

Thanks!

Hmmm, while I was putting Walter in his bed a big hunk of sausage disappeared off his plate on teh coffee table. Surely this innocently sleeping Great Dane had nothing to do with it...

5:02 am

But still missing the tr6/18

LOL i can't see that happening Monkey Heehee

5:06 am

And the "puppy" said thanks mum! :}

6:15 am

6:23 am

Bye peri.

6:27 am

Good morning, Haz. I have no intention of becoming political, here, but I am ignorant of the implications of Great Britain mandating a Protestant/Catholic sort of coalition for those in office in Northern Ireland...is it a good thing for the people?

hi scarlet and can i have a fish thron at me

6:30 am

Scarlet - good morning. Ireland's history is long and complicated and history looks different depending on your viewpoint. My feeling is that the political agreement that has been reached will hopefully bring about happiness and prosperity for the whole country, but I am desperately sorry that it has been achieved at the expense of over 3000 lives lost over the past 30 years, because of terrorism.

6:31 am

Scarlet, are you the author I worked with from the National Endowment of the Arts, who was from the South? In 1995? (Saw your bio and am now wondering ...)

The ne word? I confess I'm stumped, or just stupid, or both.

6:33 am

Thank you Haz. This media mess in the U.S.A. says Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein in the same breath as the ground-breaking accord in Northern Ireland... and I become very upset. Hello, ch1212. No, I worked in Pennsylvania with the NEPA opera and arts endowments, but not outside of that area.

6:34 am

Ah, thanks. Her first name was Scarlett, and your bio mentions NC, so I had to ask. :)

6:35 am

My first name is Bobbie, and the Scarlet is my daughter's idea of a joke... We are redheads. We moved to the South in Dec. of 2005, but thank for the compliment by association, ch1212. :-)

6:35 am

Time will tell whether this is for the best. We have longed for peace - sometimes the price seems very high, but risks have to be taken.

6:36 am

ne4.7 ne + I wonder ** I will finish this?

Thanks. Again, that's a word?!

6:37 am

Haz, as a newsreader of intense desire to understand the political machinations of the civilized nations, I hold high hope of its success.

6:38 am

I hope so as well - but you can understand the frustration of law-abiding people when law-breaking seems to reap rewards.....

Stuck on the last mi4.

6:41 am

mi4/5 - mi plus the beginning of the opposite of junior

hey monkey that ne is my friends name and i didnt see it thanks

Got that one.

6:41 am

I do, Haz. And, I have come to understand that there has, in the recent past, (25 years, or so) been financial support from certain individuals in the United States for such terrorism. It saddens and sickens me. Enough. To the grid. Thank you again, Haz.

6:42 am

You're welcome, Scarlet - the grid is going to test us all today.

6:43 am

Yes it is... but that is the very reason I am here... and I suspect that that is your reasoning also. :-)

what is the word count again please

6:44 am

Yes, a little stretch of the brain cells is good.

6:48 am

7:11 am

That one can be pluralled, then there's another with a different vowel on the end, du4/7 that is.

7:12 am

which gave me the card ones too - thanks Haz!

7:12 am

Ah. No, the other du4/7... that must be the one with the other vowel? Trying...

No, I mean we use a S

OK, now I'm stuck on nu. I have two of them.

7:48 am

They must live in warmer countries than this....

7:52 am

TY MG

7:52 am

we need more "blank" in the US

I need fi5/18...

7:52 am

hehe

Not the one that looks like a mis-spelled tree... unledd they both do.

7:52 am

both fi5/18 are plurals of their preceding fi4 words

7:53 am

What is the nu magazine word>

unless, I mean. Trying to do homework in Dutch while playing here.

7:53 am

Hello again - lots of distractions today - still need 105 and pouring rain so nice to babble for the afternoon

7:53 am

clue for the z plz

Scrabbler... think Al Bundy. He goes the the ____ bar.

7:53 am

Hello ursh.

the z is a former country and a currency

7:53 am

scrabbler if your little person there were blue instead of pink, you'd know what it was

7:54 am

ty monkey

fi5/18?

7:55 am

still trying to get au 7/36 any clues?

7:55 am

fi5/18 - f plus plural frozen water

7:55 am

I am totally confused about the nu--magazine word? Al Bundy? Little person? Do I deserve a fish?

The other one. Thanks, though.

7:55 am

or fi5/18 (different one) plural fi4/8 - structured the same as di4/6 - comes in compact form

The au one is like the group watching a play but in the singular.

7:56 am

majmom==German car, Au** + Lord of the Rings tree ***

7:56 am

Scrabbler, you already have 3 birthday suit words... that is all there are

7:57 am

OK, then I am set---TY, BR.

Not getting that darned fi... working on it...

7:57 am

7:49 amHaz1558 The last nu6/21 combines a squirrel food with a spanish river

8:00 am

ty monkey and scrabbler

OK, taking an fi break, not getting that one. de6/24?

8:00 am

de6/24 - performs the function of removing frozen water plural

Oh, duh! Thanks! What about two de5/14's?

8:01 am

I got only one fi4 -5 combo

8:01 am

Monkey - the fi5 you are looking for - the di4 that is structured in the same way comes in compact form and also features in the back.

Oops, only need one.

8:02 am

de5/14 - one is the singular, the other is a belief in a god.

I ahve teh god one.The other is the singular of what?

8:03 am

It comes before de6/24 - think singular frozen water

Oh, again, duh. Thank you.

8:04 am

Back to do the last 27! I have none of the en words or te words. Clues welcome

OK, 4 left and one is that fi word. The others are ALL cu: I have the rude one, the 6/30, and the adorable one. I need teh other three.

Oh, and I have the past-tense pool one.

cu5 is another adorabale one

8:06 am

Alleyn - for one en6 think of completeness. The en5/10 adds a spanish aunt.

8:06 am

cu4.9 cu + and ** you work out this clue you will have the word

thanks lyn

8:07 am

cu5.14 slice + opp of out

Thought I had already tried that one! Thanks! And thanks Lynxx as well.

8:08 am

Haz. Got the 5 thanks

8:09 am

& the six

8:09 am

That's good!

So. One cu and one fi to go.

i need cu6 yet

8:10 am

There are four fi words - two fi4 and fi5 combinations, both fi5 being plurals of the fi4.

8:10 am

cu6/30 - resembles the structure of a loving hug for a child, but replace a consonant at the end with a vowel.

Every time I try to pluralize the one that looks like it has to do with money, it says taht's not in the dictionary!

8:11 am

Ty for the cu6, Hazel, and I found the other fi5-5 combo

8:11 am

Lori--are you still alive here?

8:12 am

Monkey - try refreshing to see if that helps. It's definitely a plural word.

Got that one! Just one cu to go.

Thanks, Haz, by the way--that did help.

Just cu5/14 left, not the fingernail one.

8:13 am

2264 is the final point total if that helps you work out what you need for the cu word.

8:13 am

Have the fi connected to dogs! Clue for the other please

8:13 am

I have no U words yet--are they weird ones?

Most of the u words are actually quite simple.

all common Scrabbler

8:13 am

the un's are normal

8:14 am

then you got some pee words

8:14 am

Then maybe I should look harder--LOL

8:14 am

i still miss one of them upper U's though

8:14 am

cu 6/30; 4/7; 4/9; 4/6; 4/6; 5/14; 5/14

8:14 am

Hi Hurshy--how is the job/career search going?

8:15 am

Alleyn - it is structured in the same way as a di4/6 - it comes in compact form for the computer or in reference to a part of the back between vertebrae.

8:15 am

oh, just fine thanks :)

8:15 am

i need a V - have 4, 6, 4, and a clue for the Z would be fab...

8:15 am

Think of a CD for music, now replace the D with an F, and pl for the fi5

cu5/14 is going to kill me!

8:15 am

Slice + opp of out

8:16 am

ur5/12; 4/5; & 5/12

Have not looked at the list and I'll be da**ed if I'll do it for my LAST FREAKIN' WORD!

8:16 am

cu5/14 - ends either in a men's neckwear or in a type of metal (there are two cu5/14)

8:16 am

Or, an endearing term, cu5 pie!

Oh, he slice one is the one I have. Need the otehr one.

ends in neck ***

8:16 am

hey thanks brabs, so i got the UV :)

8:16 am

Found the fi4 but it ends with an s....how do you plural that?????????

8:17 am

finished and running away now - thanks for all the clues along the way - nite all, have fun!

8:17 am

ve 5/18

That was it! How could I have been so stupid as to miss such a simple word?????? Fireworks! Thank you ALL!

8:17 am

Yahooo lynxxx!

8:17 am

8:22 am

TY for the cz clue--too obvious!

8:22 am

We need Sprite to translate, MG

8:23 am

Wow - Scrabbler - I just failed to work up the grid. Thanks

I just said, "Are you so sure? Dutch is really tough."

8:23 am

I struggled too, Alleyn, but my Scrabble dictionary helped me out

8:24 am

But is Dutch your first language, MG?

8:24 am

So now completed stuck on any of the te words

8:24 am

TIme to go - daughter to be taken to the dentist.

Hi TO

howa re you? haven't seen you for a long time

8:56 am

So now crawling for help. ti6/21, te6/18 and te6/21

Kids were on Spring break and I had three extras too. Not to mention it's spring, bunches of yard work, taking care of the sick grandparents. Seems like everyone is having babies too (except me), been doing alot of baby showers. Busy, busy!

wowee - i'll say! : D

ti 6/21 is like the ti 5/12 before it with an extra vowel in the end, or, fork prong + opp of ego

te 6/18 - latin plural of te 5/10

How have you been?

te 6/21 - 10 + another word for "we" with another word for "me" inserted in the middle of that

i'm ok...getting ready for easter

your day! : D

scute

Uhhg, I've bought all their clothes, still have to get candy, baskets, all that jazz! I love watching them dye eggs though!

9:05 am

Just done the te6/18. Failed on the te6/21

ok got to go - see you later! happy babbling! and bunny, restup!

The te 6/21 is almost like a sport played with a racket and lime green ball, change one of the double cons to a vowel.

Bye TO, and happy Easter if I don't catch you before then!

9:06 am

Yes! You star

Sorry Alleyn, clue giving isn't my specialty.

9:09 am

Judi I have those, is there a variant I'm missing?

9:50 am

si7 sounds vaguely like a cy poison

ti6/21 a three-letter metal followed by a word meaning help but starting with another vowel

now enters me!

9:51 am

That grass is found any place

9:51 am

Bye all from me and baby kate

9:54 am

hurshy, how is the job hunt going?

morning hurshy... where you moving too? I heard on the grapevipe that you are going to boston??

9:55 am

it's going pretty well. have a test monday for the town of avon, to see if i have basic math skills, spelling, grammar, vocab...

9:56 am

no mrp, i decided that that was too overwhelming - marital separation, move to city, find job, all at the same time, so instead i am staying here, finding job, then once i get settled into a job, i will hopefully find a place of my own.

9:56 am

nu 6/21 a small fur bearing rodent

9:57 am

nu6/21 semiaquatic rodent

9:57 am

are you going to manage the town?

ok, just working on the last of the clues, thanks for the help, all!

9:59 am

you are not fooling anyone, LoriP

I spent an awful long time looking for that de. Brain freeze to the nth degree Babble. :(

10:00 am

tr 6/18 please

10:15 am

My phantom for today? I hate this grid.... :)

10:15 am

phantom faces at the window

10:15 am

phantom shadows on the floor

10:15 am

empty chairs at empty tables

10:15 am

where my friends will sing no more......

10:15 am

oh my friends my friends! don't ask me what your sacrifice was for...

10:16 am

almost like the end of top gun

10:16 am

empty chairs at empty tables... where my friends will sing... no more...

10:16 am

TOP GUN?!

10:16 am

sigh.

10:16 am

not that it's not a good movie and all

10:16 am

now is there an SM or is my last S si

10:17 am

or, where have all the flowers gone ... when I went to war

10:17 am

no sm

10:17 am

Hursh, why are you singing from Les Mis?

10:17 am

el 6 is a new one on me. Is this a science type grid today? I'm doomed.

10:18 am

What is that verse from, Hurshy?

10:18 am

cause people said things bout phantom words and the song popped in my head

10:18 am

i spose i could have gone with the music of the night...

10:18 am

BRB - pee break.

10:19 am

Oh Hursh, Les Mis is SO MUCH better than Phantom. Now you'll have me singing it all day.

10:19 am

i agree hetty

10:20 am

-"but only in my dreams"

10:20 am

how many DU, please?

10:20 am

well, my reference was to a seen of empty tables and chairs in the cafe

10:21 am

7

10:21 am

scene

10:21 am

i know brabble. it's just, while top gun is a good movie, it's not really in the same league as les mis

10:21 am

so i guess i need a DU and a DE

10:23 am

so, that being the case, a scene of empty tables and chairs is not a scene of empty tables and chairs

10:23 am

denit should be a word. *shudders, remembering the lice epidemic in college*

10:23 am

exactly brabble.

10:24 am

why, i say HOGWASH

10:25 am

you don't see a diff between goose dying in a tragic accident as the result of maverick's overconfidence and a group of hot-blooded young frenchmen rebelling against the nobility??

10:25 am

Back briefly while the onions soften.

10:27 am

any clues for fa6/33 please

10:27 am

The toddler is irritated that I have put him in tights so he cannot repeat last night's let's-color-my-whole-leg-green experiment

10:27 am

fa6/33: like another word for a water tap but with a different last letter

10:28 am

thks for that fa - I was wondering about that one.

10:28 am

ah, thanks finally got it

10:30 am

another phantom word: species

10:30 am

zuluzuluzuluzuluzulu

10:30 am

*cough* cut off the s

10:30 am

Most of species is a valid word, though

10:30 am

whoa, really?

10:30 am

silly english language!

10:31 am

yes, it is a phrase, "in sp6"

10:31 am

Means coinage

10:31 am

yet another reason for fait in fait accompli to count

10:31 am

cruel cruel enable

10:31 am

Well, but this word on its own is a lain old noun

10:32 am

plain old, I mean

10:32 am

i guess i just like to grumble :)

10:32 am

4:53 pm

Excellent clue, hurshy!

4:54 pm

see the thing is, we give the clue, and then someone says i don't know dickens, and we think in our snobbish heads, "well you SHOULD", and are thus reluctant to reclue. except for the really nice people.

4:54 pm

<---- is a really nice person... but i know Dickens, so.... LOL

4:54 pm

Hope to be back later to finish. Thanks for the help.

4:54 pm

99% of the Babblers are fabulous folks, and I have been more stumped by arcane clues than the Lickety's listings and values.

4:55 pm

well there's arcane, and then there's dickens

4:56 pm

Did you get a funny injection today, hurshy? LOL

4:56 pm

it's not as if they haven't made it into a movie, even, for crying out loud!

4:56 pm

certainly not. i am not remotely funny.

4:56 pm

You are being extremely funny... maybe it's just your nature to be wry.

4:57 pm

"what makes you say that?" she said wryly

4:57 pm

Ham on wry, she asked, pickle-faced...

4:58 pm

i scared someone on sudoku chat with my nonsense this afternoon :(

4:58 pm

That, as the great philosophers say, is their problem...

4:59 pm

but no man is an island... it tolls for thee etc etc

4:59 pm

And never sit on a porcupine...

5:00 pm

it causes me chagrin that there are so many NORMAL people out there who neither understand nor appreciate nonsense, for i take nonsense more seriously than almost anything else.

5:00 pm

Don't squat with yer spurs on..

5:00 pm

why must normality be so prevalent?

5:01 pm

Perfect, Jinxie. Hi, by the way, and welcome. Normalcy is a matter of opinion... I'd rather be a touch unhinged than anally perfect....

5:01 pm

Nonsense has its merits... Jabberwocky was not for the children...

5:01 pm

TY Scarlet... i'm scared of people who think they are normal...

5:02 pm

alice in wonderland is practically my blueprint for existence...

5:02 pm

LOL, Jinxie... I'm with you and hurshy... it's the ones who think that they have it all together who grab the UZI and blast the neighborhood...

5:03 pm

Hi everyone. Good grief I haven't been "normal" in years but not many people understand my humor!!

5:03 pm

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.

5:03 pm

Hi, grannyg!! Welcome to the Rabbit Hole... "Eat Me" and grow... and grow etc.,

5:03 pm

ick, relish

5:04 pm

i only put ketchup on my hot dogs

5:04 pm

No please - I definitely don't need to grow anymore

5:04 pm

You and my daughter... I'm a Dijon freak myself... (don't tell the other Babblers) Shhhhh

5:04 pm

Then, grannyg, "Eat Me" and grow smaller....

5:05 pm

in fact, i just did. had hot dogs for dinner, with ye olde heinz

5:05 pm

man i want some petit-fours now

5:05 pm

Growing smaller - now that sounds good. And I love ketsup on hot dogs, metts, and fried green tomato sandwiches.

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

hot dogs are made of worms arent' they?

5:06 pm

yay worms!

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

no body love me

5:06 pm

I love fried green tomatoes... Hi, nuttie! Welcome to your life... LOL

5:07 pm

everybody hates me

5:07 pm

It's a spicier than a hot dog - I think a little more tasty.

5:07 pm

only 119 left.... *deep sigh*

5:07 pm

i guess i'll go eat worms

5:07 pm

WHAT???!!! Is this an existential meltdown... and I didn't get the memo??

5:07 pm

I'm the only one in my family that likes fried green tomatoes so I fix them every year just for me.

5:08 pm

can i have some evannut?

5:08 pm

Nut.... don't go... Feel the love?? It's wafting to your little pirate ship!

5:08 pm

Got to get back to the grid - this puzzle isn't easy.

5:08 pm

dang it all, i go shopping, i buy food, i put it away, and then somehow when i want to eat there is nothing to eat. how is this possible??

5:09 pm

The cats did it....

5:09 pm

i don't think so.

5:09 pm

so, this grid is hard??? it's not me??? i don't really suck for only being able to see 'fart'???

fireworks

5:09 pm

i think what it is is, there is some idea in my head of the perfect food, and it doesn't really exist, and in comparison to It, other foods all seem unsatisfactory, and then i don't want them.

5:10 pm

ty jinxie - I didn't have that one.

5:10 pm

is a hardish grid, yes.

5:10 pm

Jinxie, that is one of the mild ones to make it to the grid... Yippee, Cyborg!!

5:10 pm

JInxie, did you find the link to Lickety's Babble Clues for a little help with getting kick-started on word-finding..?

5:11 pm

that and i ate all my watermelon at once.

5:11 pm

*groans* i said a bad word in front of a granny now!! my day is ruined...

5:11 pm

Yeah, we all have untainted ears... LOL

5:11 pm

the problem is less that you said a bad word than that you said a word...

5:11 pm

Scarlett> LOL... not really... too much fun following the clues here...

5:12 pm

Hey, this granny used to work in an auto dealership and now works in a factory office. You can't say anything I haven't heard before. Please don't let your day be ruined......

5:12 pm

hurshy> yeah, i caught that, bad me... never happen again... biting my tongue on the other word there.. cus i am good....

jinxie, what other word?

5:13 pm

Even with clues, the most wonderful part of this puzzle is the "Aha" discovery, on your own, of a word that you never heard of and can't wait to explore.. LOL, grannyg... and I'm a rockin' old lady who came of age during the revolutionary 60s!

5:13 pm

5:39 pm

i read an amazing book called plain truth... about amish community. if u get a chance u shud read it... its amazing!

5:39 pm

consider my question amended

5:40 pm

and on the subject of books, read the island also... not the film with scarlet johanssen in it.. a book about crete amazing!

5:40 pm

wish i hadnt read it so i cud read it again!

that is a contradiction.

5:41 pm

you can only read it AGAIN if you HAVE read it. if you hadn't read it, you could read it, but you couldn't read it AGAIN until after you read it.

5:41 pm

haha hurshy thats a very wry humour... i think they mean plain as in technically plain and plain compared to the rest of the world... as in no phones no computers its all plain, non-enhanced by technology etc lol

5:41 pm

u know what i mean tho hursh lol

5:42 pm

yes, and i hereby withdraw my district attorney question.

5:42 pm

5:44 pm

female ms-dos sounds good

5:44 pm

6:30 pm

In 5th grade, we had a spelling bee, and it was the first round, I spelled phone print wrong! I spelled it phonepirnt! It was a mistake, I was just so nervous in front of all the people.

6:30 pm

itsonme, you did a great job, then! knight, I try to do the math with the values on the grid tiles, and back into the words sometimes... or, mistype and find a word that I never heard of...

6:31 pm

that is the approach i take - like i said I usually don't have the time

6:31 pm

gotta earn a living

6:31 pm

yes, it's hard to focus sometimes when you have an audience. But that's okay, practice obviously has paid off for you.

6:32 pm

Scarlet, assume you have the E from the bottom right corner? if I could just have the first two and the count/score I would be eternally grateful...

7:44 pm

Hi ibd and class welcome

7:45 pm

ready, Scrabbler

7:45 pm

de6,21? (Yes, I have opened the list---I want to get done and go to sleep)

7:45 pm

well, who wants a clue?

7:45 pm

ok...question...when you check off the list..do you do it one word at a time, or do you wait until you have a few words, then check them off?

7:46 pm

sure inge..clue away....

7:46 pm

de 21: to hold back

7:46 pm

Danke, Inge. Ich bin ein Dummkopf!

7:47 pm

di5,12?

7:47 pm

I never use lickety boxes, just the list with first two letters, then cross off hwhat I have and look for the rest, like all the ra 's that are missing and so forth

7:47 pm

OMG...I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT CU 4/6 WORD!!!

7:48 pm

di 5/12: German wrod for to serve, drop last letter

7:48 pm

my chin is on the floor right now, that they put that word in there.

7:48 pm

not the first time

I agree Mom

7:49 pm

at least I know what that means, most of those raunchy words never made it into my brain

7:49 pm

ok..poll....should it be in there?

7:49 pm

yes

7:49 pm

well mom, penis

7:49 pm

lol inge

7:49 pm

and tit etc are allowed...

7:49 pm

dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive.

7:49 pm

penis isn't slang or derogatory

7:49 pm

tit...part of an animal...

7:50 pm

just shocked....thought they would stay away from that..i know grab games do

swearsaurus has all the words in just about any language that you would not want your young uns' to use

7:50 pm

but there are other words, like haole that are allowed too.

7:50 pm

remember a few grids back? PUSSIER? lol

7:50 pm

this dictionary is not specific to this game.

7:50 pm

Lori was embarrassed to admit this AM that cu4 was the first word that she found

7:50 pm

i am not offended easily..so i don't care about it from that point of view...just surprised, i guess

7:51 pm

Hi everybody. I was here earlier, went and used Lickety's list; and now return for help with 19 words let

7:51 pm

doc just borrows the dictionary from another webiste.

7:51 pm

Go go Nef!!

7:51 pm

hey Nef

7:51 pm

okay, I am grabbing the list brb

7:51 pm

oh well....just figured with little kids playing, they would be more discreet

7:52 pm

Hi, Stid

7:52 pm

who is "they" - the people who made the dictionary, not knowing that doc would use it for babble? doc, who simply borrowed a complete dictionary for technical reasons i'm sure i don't understand?

7:52 pm

mom, there are plenty of words that the kids will try in any games; this game lets them use them I guess

7:53 pm

i AM easily offended by people using such words, but i don't think that it is a problem in this context.

7:53 pm

yeah, and it's a dictionary that doesn't use a lot of common medical words such as cath and meds, etc.

7:53 pm

thank you all. the class was totally confused about the game and how fast the chat moved! lol

7:54 pm

those are abbreviations...

7:54 pm

I surrender to the last un 6/24. A clue please?

7:54 pm

i guess "they" is whoever it is that puts the actual words in the grid....from a strictly technical point of view..thought only real words would be allowed and not slang....just a thought..

7:54 pm

would you guys believe that in sophomore English class, two years here from Germany, I raised my hand to ask what "Pregnant" meant??

7:54 pm

Hi. I'm new here. What do you mean when you say you opened the list?

7:54 pm

the words you are concerned about dont exist for me yet

7:54 pm

nobody puts the actual words in the grid. a computer does it.

7:54 pm

Hey, Stid. How are you?

7:55 pm

Inge, where are you in Germany? My husband is from Schweinfurt

7:55 pm

un 6/24 opposite of tr4/5

7:55 pm

Inge, die D's sind beendet! Danke!

7:55 pm

7:55 pm

16 - 24 - that's a pretty big gap - no?

10:19 pm

lol lady!

10:19 pm

Sufergirl - my (recovering) anorexic daughter has recently read that the ladies' butt grows to balance out her chest. (Daughter seems to have inherited paternal grandmother's bust.) We had a bit of a laugh earlier about balancing weights on butt and bust to keep the owner upstanding.

10:19 pm

what's the difference between UK & US sizes? anyone know?

10:19 pm

hiya dispatch!

10:20 pm

'Night, Nef. Thanks, Fern. Surfergirl - I don't thin you got my point. My daughter is a recovering anorexic - you do not tell them not to eat!!!

10:24 pm

herinfer - same here - i could wear 40C or 38D

10:24 pm

10:24 pm

Fern - that's down to gravity, luv.

10:24 pm

thanks jac - i'll keep the US sizes, they're smaller - imaging size 90 DDD bra, LOL

yep

ba ha ha ha helen thats funny

i would like to know wat is a size zero?

hi guys. i'm back. my daughter in law called me to come over to check her hand.. she just burned it on a hot pan from the oven when the potholder slipped

10:26 pm

I was measured by 'A Proper Shop' as being a 40C. Turned out, when I tried various bras on in various shops that I was right, and they were crap, I'm 38D.

10:26 pm

I was 34B before children!:-/

owweeess AD is she ok?

10:27 pm

oh no dodo...is she okay?

her palm is pretty bad, but we'll check it in the morning. i just wanted to get a sterile burn dressing on it so she won't get an infection.

10:28 pm

anyhelp with di-s in the lower left corner

bad enough for her to take something for pain.. she never takes anything, not even tylenol

poor love ad

10:28 pm

ouch. poor thing

i know. i feel so bad for her. it's gonna be a long nite.

right ill be back ofter flip

10:29 pm

ea5.10?

10:29 pm

Fern - size zero? Well you could look at photos of Naomi Campbell or Victoria Beckham in recent times. God knows what my 4 an a half stone daughter and her similar patient friends in the clinic were sized at! Size -00 maybe? Size almost dead?

i've only got 16 words (late start and then had to leave) i hope i can finish

10:29 pm

past tense of consuming a meal

10:30 pm

OMG... ty, i feel dumb now... LOL

i think i'm going for the list now or i'll never finish... unless i don't chat, and for me that's impossible.

10:31 pm

ADHD - hope the palm will be okay soon.

tx jac

10:32 pm

ADHDWordLover is your daugther ok

she'll be fine. her palm is blistering already and she'll be hurting tonight, but i think she'll be okay. i'll check it in the morning and change the dressing... it's my daughter-in-law.. but she may as well be my daughter. she relies on me more than anyone.

10:34 pm

Congrats MIN AND DR!

10:34 pm

D's in the lower left hand corner? Well they all come from down there! More specific, please?

10:34 pm

"size almost dead" - funny (but not funny), but still funny - i used to work in inpatient psychiatric & anorexics were the worst to get along with - just so hateful & controlling

10:34 pm

Hell - that's what 'Annie' does to her victims!

10:35 pm

You forgot to say how deceitful she is, Hell!

my sister is a psych patient (in and out thru the years) and she is 5-4 and weighs less than 90 lbs right now and thinks she's fat. she has numerous health problems that will end up killing her.

10:35 pm

di5/12?

10:35 pm

lol - that too, i feel for you jacs, being your daughter, you must still love her all the while you want to strangle her

10:37 pm

Hell - I've never wanted to strangle her! I just want her to be happy.

ar6 ??

10:37 pm

oliver twist ar**** dodger

10:37 pm

past of ar4.4

i've wanted to strangle my kids sometimes, but they're bigger than me and my hands won't reach around their neck!

10:37 pm

oh wait.. which ar6?

10:37 pm

di5/12 - decease + consonant + 2nd vowel.

10:38 pm

seriously jacs - she never overly angered you?

10:38 pm

omg, i need new eyes

10:38 pm

Hell - No, never!

10:38 pm

LOL adhd!

10:38 pm

gonna go poke my eyeballs out now...

10:38 pm

ty, jacula

10:39 pm

well, then jacula - you're up for sainthood!

tx knight.. i didn't see that L

10:39 pm

Even when I was climbing out of a window I'm too fat to get through to make sure, by peerring through her bathroom window, that she wasn't succumbing also to 'The Bully' (aka bulimia). No, I never wanted to strangle her.

10:40 pm

di5/14? not the plural of cutting in cubes

10:40 pm

Hell - I don't think so! It's just motherhood, I think.

10:41 pm

Unconditional love, and all that?

my sister suffers from an/bul but i've never wanted to strangle her either. it saddens me to see her do it to herself. the only thing she consumes is coffee and cigarettes

10:41 pm

gotcha!

10:41 pm

It does exist, Hell.

i told my kids i was quitting my job. What job mom, you don't have a job. I said: I don't want to be your mother anymore unless you pay me. they laffed.

10:43 pm

di5/14 is the plural of di4/6 - you might once have had a floppy one for your computer.

my sister lives 900 miles away and doesn't speak to me anymore. after i expressed my concern for her.

10:43 pm

ADHD - they'll learn... eventually. I promise you that.

10:44 pm

oh, i'm not disagreeing with you at all jac - but i don't think the 2 are mutually exclusive - i think you can completely love someone & still have the ability to get angered by them

tx jac. but my sister is 51 years old and she won't come around. i've done what i could... the ball's inher court now.

10:45 pm

adhd - that's a shame - there's not much you can do, except not allow yourself to ever feel guilty

10:46 pm

gotta take care of the pups, bbs

true HK. I felt guilty for a long time, and helpless, but not any more. I know I cannot help her, only she can do that and if she does, I will be supportive.

10:47 pm

Hell - I'm sure it is possible to lay the blamem but I haven't done that up t this point. That is not to say the blame hasn't been tried to be lain on ME at points... first off all by hopital social workers, of course! Then by psychiatrists, then by my daughter after listening to the psychiatrists.... blame isn't on me now though,it seems.

10:47 pm

ur5.12?

10:47 pm

glad to hear that adhd - i too have a sister like that - not anorexic, but an irresponsible druggie -

10:48 pm

ur+past tense of consuming food

aw. i'm so sorry hk. my sister is a prescription drug abuser 300 percocets a months, and valium

10:48 pm

ty knight, need the other one...

10:49 pm

ur5/12 = either another word for wee/pee or u + r4/4 (r*** of pay or may the speed of).

10:49 pm

jacs - not at all what i'm saying, getting blamed by someone & being angry at them for doing something stupid are 2 different things - well, of course, you're not to blame, it's not your fault, i really believe a person is genetically predisposed to illnesses, whether physical or psychological

10:49 pm

TY Jacula.... the easiest words seem to be the worst...

10:50 pm

holy crap - 300 percocets!!! - that's like 10/day! what the heck does she need the valium for then ???

she doesn't. she's gone from MD to MD with "stomach pains" and there is nothing wrong with her.

mental illness is so much harder to deal with than physical illness... it sucks for the patient and their families

10:52 pm

Hell & ADHD - you are NOT responsible for your siblings' shortomings. Neither are your parents, in most cases.

10:52 pm

ok, i got a bingo.. i'm calling that good enough... LOL

10:52 pm

absolutely right jacs!

10:53 pm

i'm into this conversatoin, but i reallt gotta go take care of these pups

you are right and i came to terms with it years ago... with tons of psychotherapy. i'm in a happy place now.. riddled with painful RA, an inoperable back and neck, but i'm still in a happy place.

10:53 pm

Mental and physical illnesses are sometimes interlinked. I truly believe that the 'slimming' illnesses are physically linked in that there are chemical imbalances in body and brain.

on a lighter note... LET'S BAB-BLE!!!!!

10:55 pm

Good idea, ADHD! But the new grid's a while away. Do you need any clues for present grid?

10:55 pm

hello Do!

that's what i referred to earlier jac.. body chemistry.. i am an ADHD kid, as is my dad, my son, my son's son and daughter... there is a chemical lacking (or the uptake of it) and it is clearly evidenced on a brain scan.

10:55 pm

Hi Stidmama!

HIYA STIDDDDD!!!! howya be?

10:56 pm

I be okay -- just got back from the kids' concert at school. they sounded GREAT!

11:18 pm

11:18 pm

Jac -- stid's pulling the other one

11:18 pm

because it's more fun to play with the phonetics Jacula...

11:18 pm

11:19 pm

jilli - how many do you have??

11:19 pm

je comprend un peu, mais je parle pas... *yuck face*

11:19 pm

only 67 -- no time today, and so far I was not liking this Klingon puzzle

11:19 pm

I only studied french for a couple years. I prefer other languages.

11:20 pm

it was NOT a fun grid today Jill. I just dipped in periodically (it was my hyper-busy day) and managed to finish only now.

11:21 pm

I'm still supperless and must do something about that

11:21 pm

bena, did you get the AR 6 or shall I try again?

nourish thyself jillibus

11:21 pm

11:24 pm

az7/32?

114 to go... CAN SHE DO IT???

11:25 pm

AZ 7 is a blue-colore mineral

i don't have any DUs yet

11:25 pm

tks

11:25 pm

put a two-letter pronoun before the last letter of "blue" az 5

11:25 pm

Do: two-person band is du 4/7

got those in the beginning stid. tx

11:26 pm

hi everyone

11:26 pm

oops it's a 4/6. the italian for "duke" is 4/7, then plural that for 5/16, then change the last letter of the 4/7 for another 4/7

11:26 pm

hi saphure

11:26 pm

**saphyre

11:27 pm

and sand du**, and what looks like a mineral made from the du**; the last DU is the sand du** with the last letter changed to a consonant

thx stid.. gottem all. i wouldn

t usually need clues for these, but i started so late, i'll not finish without them.

11:32 pm

at least they made sense to you. I think I have energy for one more set... then I will have to fold I am bushed today

any FAs except the flatus one

11:34 pm

FA 6 (the first): a cute winged mythical creature, like Titania from A Midsommer Night's Dream

11:34 pm

then the FA 5/16 is to swoon, take the last letter off the the FA 4 that comes in front; past tense the 5 for the 7/44

11:35 pm

fa 5/16 - pass out & pass tense

11:35 pm

FA 4/7: pretty, nice -- alternatively, the county FA** where your pumpkin might win a ribbon.

11:36 pm

the next FA 4/7 is a homophone of the previous, think of taxi or bus fa**; then the flatulence and its past tense; then fa 4/7 "destiny" and its past tense is 5/18

11:36 pm

au7/36?

11:36 pm

bill of fa** - menu

11:36 pm

g'day everyone - down to two & need help from the masters/mistresses of Babble - ta7/32 & tr6/18

11:36 pm

the fa 6/33 looks like a plural, pasta sa***, only use an F in front

awesome stid... i got every one of those tx

11:36 pm

ta & ur 5/12

11:36 pm

then 4/8 which is like bambi, "Afternoon of a FA**"

11:37 pm

add an e to the middle of the tr 5/10 right below it

11:37 pm

au 7: "hearing"; what the people who listen to a concert or performance are, only use a T instead of the usual ce ending

11:38 pm

the FA 5/24 is first three letters of the previous word + 4 pt consonant + vowel

11:38 pm

the last two FA are FA + 6 pt letter + vowel, then plural

11:39 pm

I hope those help, Do. good luck everyone *yawn* I'll be online tomorrow.

11:39 pm

thanks Saph - fireworks. Back for the flip
