Herin, he was much better day before yesterday, but really, really grumpty; understandable after everything he's been through and how much it's kept him all here on the couch instead of running around. So I took him to daycare yesterday even though I could tell he wasn't quite 100% yet. They sai dthat yes, he was a bit tired and grumpy but in general had a really great day, and when he got home he was SO chipper and happy I was really glad to see it. Today he is still asleep.

my starwars issue is sorted, a friend is giving me the trilogy!!! she was just about to sell it on ebay and said I could have it! the lord works in wonderful ways... so I am giving her my brand new pie maker
Ok, blanket Good night for those leaving in the next 10 minutes
Night, all who are leving!
nite faerie
Pie maker???
see what happens when you do nice things, swapies are good, my g/fs and i swap stuff all the time
jade - is it a really soft blanket?
she has a joey too! I got to play with the joey!!!
Hi helenkeller - quick update - Mom doing great - no stick inside house - one stick outside - 2 weeks to driving again
yah ursh
soft and warm, and cuddly and oh so nice helen
mR Pres do you mean the hoppy kangas?
stupid husband shot a kangaroo and they realised it was nursing... so he will never ever shoot another animal again cause he feels so bad for making an orphan out of that baby
ursh - that's so awesome! i'm so happy for her (& for you too!)
chic, you on yahoo?
jade - exactly perfect!
Mr pres at least they are doing the right thing
I think it's calling my name Helen....
either that or I am hallucinating
or both
never know
yes, it took the wrong thing to realise that doing the right thing was not to kill defenceless animals
sorry, I don't like guns
mosh is a word dr g
mosh not being a word is the pits...
LOL DrB!
change the 1st letter DrB
Mr Pres i dont either but we do wish we could have humanly put out a roos miseray when there was an epidemic going on in the bush and it was very sick, we couldnt as we were on crown land and there was no ranger insight, Mr Pres i agree with you
agree mrp - often wonder why killing animals makes people feel "big" - really makes them "small"
compensating for something, ursh

Good morning Flask and everyone. Not long started, but don't have the an7 - I'll let you know if I find it...
an 7 is an oddity
So it is! Thanks Babble.
oh hey
i didnt miss much
Hi Haz......an oddity Babble??
That's what it means, Flask - something that doesn't sit properly with other conditions. An, a vowel, then put a consonant into the fifth month.
thanks haz
thanks Haz!...got it......
That's okay - thank BabbleRabble really.
thanks babble for finding it and haz for better clueing it (not being rude im a bit fried)
Hey Babble.....thankyou!
good day all
how is everyone going, i ahve hit 102 left
Good morning BabbleRabble. I assume you have finished the grid? How do you rate it?
I haven't finished. the grid is pretty straightforward thus far
I got a quick 170 now a bit slower
hi babblerabble just in time for me to say adieu. MM is home and seems to think it's dinner time. yeah right.
Laters RMC, the men of the huose are starting to eat the furniture and they can wait
have a good one, rmcc
It seems nice so far, I agree, Babble. No c. That has to be a nice change.
Bye rmcc have a good evening.
If I never see another 'C' word again Haz, it'll be too soon!!
I know, that blessed tile just kept appearing!
yes....and the was always an abundance of them!!!
there*
A cow with milk fever can be in lateral recumbency (lying on her side) or st7/28 recumbency (lying on her front/chest.
well....that clue went straight the top of my head Haz!!!!
over the top!!
It's just adding Mr Gore to the back of the boat (the adjective for the proper term for chest)
now that. I understand....thanks!
You're welcome.
Ok Haz....thats definitely not Spangle in the piccie......????
No - I thought I had updated from yesterday but will have to do it again. It's Niles Crane - my favourite quote yesterday was him saying 'My brother was already eminent when my eminence was merely imminent'. I'll get Spangle back in prime position now.
And that should hopefully do it. Different profile today - we were looking for her best side.
I should thinkso too!!!....lol
Did you ever watch Frasier, Flask?
she's gorgeous!
Yep!
I think it's my all-time favourite TV programme. My girls always said they knew it was Friday night because they could hear me roaring with laughter. (they were in bed!) They're old enough now to be able to appreciate it with me.
lol......
toons
I also caused them deep embarrassment when we went to see Toy Story in the cinema. Apparently I laughed far too loudly.
Liked Toy Story too....me!
It was great, for children AND adults.
Anyway, just over halfway, so I'm going to take a break and come back to this shortly. I'll see you later.

Hi Scrabbler

morning everone
hello inge how are you?
Loredana, I have 4 bunnies.
moot
Hi dancergirl
Oddly, Scrabbler, I too was up frequently and prolongedly worrying about stuff. Moon phase, maybe?
( sorry, not being rude...i'm diving)
dwarf or full size
I slept like a log last night! But woke up with a crick in my neck!
TY dancergirl
i had an awful nights sleep last night. I am a natural born worryer so thats what i do at night
hiya dancegirl
Any from here? We of course provided the word=ld with the Dutch rabbit, the Netherland dwarf, and the Holland lop.
hi pink
MG & Lil--so we will all be exhausted today
hi Lynn
Yup. I made it through to the toddler's nap time, now I will eat my cauliflower and then get on with th epacking... sigh.
yes we will and the idea of this grid doesn't help!
where are you going monkey
I already know I WON'T BE FINISHING THE GRID. kIND OF A RELIEF TO ALREADY KNOW THAT. mAKES IT EASIER TO GET UP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE.
I have one Netherland dwarf, named Sebastian---he sleeps with me, or, rather, I sleep in HIS room and he sometimes wants to play when I want to sleep
i assume you mean your son maybe?????
And I once had a Holland Lop named Benjamin Bunny. My sister has a Dutch Rabbit named Dutchess Marie, LOL
Im with you monkey, absolutely no chance!
wE ARE MOVING IN 8 DAYS. nOT FAR BUT IT IS STILL A MEGA-HASSLE.... Arrrrgh, look at my caps lock! Sorry. Anyway, we had to move three times in two years and thought we got to stay here buit no, the landlady is truly psycho. But we found a nice place after only three months of looking at crap!
I gave up looking monkey and are moving in with the other half
Scrabbler, neat! I'm not such a rabbit freak per se but when Walter's old enough it is SO the traditional first pet here, even if we do already have a cat and a dog, of which the cat is the most popular odf all pets here, but when the kids want a pet they geta rabbit to start off with. I will be looking at English tans--very interesting breed. Or maybe those giant French ones.
Scrabbler another rabbit lady here I have mum dad and five kids all dwarfs and one full size.
Guinea pigs are also good first pets, less scratchy than rabbits!
moving is so stressful especially with young children, hopefully this will be last time you move for a good few years.
Whew - halfway. BBL
Herin, I understand. We even looked at a place in an industrial wasteland with no other dwellings, just factoruies, but iot was next to a transmitter tower and the evidence is not conclusive one way or the other about whether that would be safe for Walter and teh area stank. But eventually ythis place turned up and out of about 600 applicants they picked us!
Pink, we SURE hoipe so!
OK, off to make the cheese sauce for this vegetable. Back shortly.
WOow monkey is renting that hard?
Herin, yes it is here, but WAY better than Amsterdam. Really off now, really back shortly!
MG-one of my bunnies is an American Tan--10 lbs of love.
i've had gerbils, gold fish and hamsters as pets growing up, but my mum now has a silverback tabby cat which my daughter adores. She always pulls her tail and whiskers and Willow allows her to.
Pink thats cute, no pets here
Scrabbler I have lots of animals but I must admit that rabbits tend to be my favourites
I call myself Rabbitlady too, Loredana, and have had rabbits as pets since 1983.
my mum never allowed us to have rabbits as pets for some reason. I think she was worried about breeding withall the other rabbits on the estate
We have a cat a dog a guinea pig and tropical fish and also fish in a pond in the garden! Like a zoo
It seems strange to think that i wasn't even born when you started collecting rabbits scrabbler
Fun place, Steph
i would love pets no room
Someday, Lady
We had a mega tank when i was a kid with tropical fish and a cat
does your cat and dog fight steph
you could have a fish herin!
nah i kill house plants
Lady, I hope the cat wasn't in the tank too
Id be sad if they died and yes fish included
I had a tank but i lent it to a friend
wow..look at all the ho's
Cat did land in the pond once, dog has done it too
Scrable the cat thought it was tv, never ever went near the tank
( oh my...not the Imus ones tho )
I was called the 'dog girl' at one time in my youth because I had 13 dogs -- they were all strays, and I don't know how my sainted mother managed to feed them. They would walk me to school in a big pack.
coffee 1/2 consumed
Carlee--you are qutoing Imus now
lol the cat must of hated it, does your cat hate water? My mum has a neighbour who's cat loves to have a bath
Awesome Ch i have a human pack
Cute story, ch
:'(
Cat used to drink fresh water out of the tank
I remember the vet visits, and now as an adult I have to wonder how she managed to pay those bills!
No shes not keen on water, she does like a drink out of the pond though!
Look at the total of some of these tiles----31, 36, 37....
tap not tank
Lady--which tank?
tank water out of the tap
Good morning. A biggy!
OK, Lady--that is better
i know scrabbler, there not very encouraging are they?

needless to say, i haven't finished a grid in about a week.
and i'm really tired of sticking needles in kittens. i know it helps them, but i hate it.

what kind of medication do they need cliff? Antibiotic shots?
"smore" is not accepted----rebellion!
just fluids (ringers) under the skin to prevent dehydration.
not got any e's monkey, sorry
eo + ***ci*, the vitamin
oh, I see! sure, I've done that. They'll be well soon!
Ah, thanks Lori!

Are you going to help her?

there is alot of rubbish!!! not much donation... and heaps of emotional attachment! she has chosen well for the to be sorted
we are going to box up the emotional attachment stuff and put it in the shed... she can look at it if she wants and give it to her kids when the time comes
why the clean up?
cause I couldn't see her floor anymore! LOL!

G'd morning Babble, and anyone I missed.
tx, brabble
he he he, my partners the same, nothing dirty just untidy
24 to's , got them all
oh dear...Iwon't comment on the messy floor... i STILL have a messy floor...and when I was in university my mum would come in and do the "clean up" but it was all piles of notes for exams..i could find EVERY single sheet of paper in its indivisual pile and she would "tidy up" and I would be HOURS sorting it into my own personal "clutter"
inge2 I believe I am doing the right thing! I hope!! they have to be somewhat tidy or the roaches and mites get away with blue murder!
The t's are the "feel good" letter to go to. LOL
ok..skipping from m to t
carl... I totally get that mess! but she couldn't find a darn thing! she was so upset cause she realised she was a little miss piggy
thanks babble
Sounds like you are approaching it with great finesse, mrp --- giving her practical life lesson in how to deal with the mess. Good for you!
Thanks inge on the TO i was missing one
Good morning/evening/afternoon all!
teaching them how to sort their mess is a good thing mrpres
hey wee
my daughter comes by her mess honestly..me and my husbands mother..i just shifted her from one house to another..OMG...she has 6 of everything dating back from the 1960's
thanks guys!
Hi WeeGee
My nine year old is really messy and nothing seems to work
I see nuts, red fish, flesh eating fish, horses.... long one today
G'd morning wee
i started pitching and throwing ( I am GREAT at that ) and she was standing behind mme pulling things out of the rubbish " you can't throw that out...i might need it" ( used zip lock bags she had rinsed...for pete's sake..by a box for 3.00 cdn
Hello all - have 8 yr old g/daughter - same story - must be an age thing - clinging to baby things and wanting more grown up things - i think
ok..WHERE is the list of t's am to s's...still scanning DOOOOOWWWWWNNNN the list...oh..there that are..WAYYY down there
I read a book on how to declutter your house... and it was very good! especially on untidy kids!
carleekat, laughing here, I'VE pulled things from the trash that I put there...
hi ursh
for what it's worth, neither of my kids (now 19 and 23) ever became "neat" by any stretch of the imagination, but they did learn that having stuff means responsibility for taking care of it.
whats it callled
it was very good to read that 'emotional attachment' stuff is important to keep for sanity
now on their own, they are better
Actually, hanging on to stuff is an Asperger's thing... organized or not, mostly not in my case
the book is called "How to Declutter Your House"
we all have....but...this was..insane... old margerine cantainers ( oh..but they are great for touch up painting...etc )
My whole house is pretty tidy and then you come to this room overflowing with arty stuff pens and loads of crap
weegee....I don't see horses
my kids are asperger!
weegee, I know an Asperger's kid who owns 40 vacuums.
this is just... " I might need it one day"
she even leaves her clothes lying where she takes then off and her wet towel on her bedroom floor!
old pieces of carbon paper WHO uses carbon paper anymore?
see, I'mm the opposite...I hate having stuff.
Inge2, I think Temple Grandin wrote about a kid like that. My brother collected cigarette packages...
LOL! steph! that is my daughter all over!
Hey, I have LOTS of carbon paper!!!!
i LOVe pitching and throwing... but my house is still cluttered and my husband HATES stuff
i wish someone would teleport my house to here, problem is my bedroom is TRASHED
Chiley pi5.12 & 6.21
( hell that is me steph..but ONLY in my bedroom )
Ah...thanx
I also hate shopping, so that helps in not accumulating stuff. ;)
kris where did u go?????????
( diving back in... I finally found the t's )
i hate shopping too... but I must have MOST rubbish at my curb every week on trash day
Well mrpres I feel so sorry for you as she drives me crazy
yikes, carlee, where does it come from then? I have very little trash.
I have 5 years of well crap in my room you cant se my florr
( I think its like dust bunnies..i have mutant trash and it breeds when the lights go out )
I 'made' lickety build a shed under the house for all our crappe! we are now well and truly using the shed for our 'emotional attachment' stuff... it is full!
throw it away, infernal. It will be hard to do, but you will feel liberated.
A friend told me it's selfish to hold onto stuff I don't use when someone else could... thinking of that helps me somewhat... carload for Goodwill today, in fact
carl! totally agree!! LOL
oh herin it would be very good for you to declutter it, you would feel liberated and probably slep better
any 1 have clues for the two 9 letter words???????
Inge i did most of it 2 years ago then got depressed and had a brain departure and the crap attacked
wee... I have boxes of stuff that we packed away... we all agreed that if we didn't go into the box and take anything, that it would go to donation... it works a treat!
Can someone tell me what the highest TO word is please
good idea mrpres
hey weegee got the 9 letter word because i nedd it
look like 6's herin
I got a company in a year ago... called 'get organized'.... they decluttered my house beautifully! I am forever thankful otherwise I would be stuffed with stuff!
herinfern... crap attacking me, too! My rule is, if I trip over it twice, it goes!
I need that Mr Pres
Hi whitesox!!!!!!!
all worth 18 I believe
4 to 6/18s
I have 4 to 6s is that right
6/18 sox but theres a few of them
my rule...if it hasn't been used in a year..its gone

Wee i cant see my floor
hey any 9 letter words

ok now were is that last one mmmm

I am moving in a month so i ahve to decrap
There are 7 words of 8 letters
moving is the best way to decrap!
The one year & out doesn't work for me... I wore my mom's 20 yr old clothes to high school and college, so everything old seems like 'vintage' to me, lol!
moving internationally is the ultimate decrap session!
I go up and down in weight so alot of stuff is too small too big its a pain in the arse
am8 and am9 ... think little valentine cherubs
did that 18 months ago mrp and I think we threw away almost as much as we moved
julie, it is the way to do it!!
TY ch1212

I SO want to move internationally...am trying to find my hubby a contract overseas
Havent moved in 5 years the lounge kitchen bathroom are sorted, the bedoom errrr

good job to this house is smaller !
We moved 2500 miles across country in September, and got rid of almost everything -- most of our furniture and so on. We came with only two carloads (2 cars). Since then, have accumulated a bunch of stuff, but not too much crap ... yet :)
carl... find one for lickety too... will pay you headhunting fees!
works that way ch have to keep on a gary that we don't have to hang on to stuff just in case
( I am looking for egypt tho )
in 9 its not a outer problem with body it it in...... problem
ch.... 2 cartons of stuff is all I want in my house! I have become 'minimalistic'.... (some type of animal)

OMG LOOK AT THIS GRID SIZE!!! i fell asleep on last night's grid after getting less than half way. should i bother starting this one? hmmm what do i have to get done today?
Hi scarlet

Hi, steph606 and Loredana, Grace M and ADHD!
Hi ADHD
hi grace
phantom for me: hysteria
the grid is sending me into hysteria!
another one is morals
phantom: piranhas
seek and you shall find; ask, and you shall receive
not that much of a phanom, MM
clue for the pe8 plz
Just popping in while still packing to say if you haven't tried Pandora.com, DO! It asks you for a song or artist, or a few, then builds you a "station" from there while you give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down, and it evolves. Back to work, have fun all!
I have tex 9; to x 23 - missing pls?
MM, lesss the H
I def think smoosh is a word...at least in my world it is.
Babble, you are scaring me today
only problem with pandora is it repeats songs quickly

LOL, Annie!!
thx BabRab
great song here just now is by the Gossip , called Standing In The Way of Control, its fab
Scarlet, is the pond cleared up in your backyard?
phantom: manners (how appropriate!)

howdy all my babble buds!! i just got here, haven't even LOOKED at the grid, the phone rings and i gotta go. harumph!! i wanna play with my friends nah! bbl :)
Yes and no, Annie! The water company fended the responsibility off on the problem being one of being repaired by a plumber... it's the water-feed valve into the utility
i listen to yahoo music when i'm **working**, and it doesn't repeat as much..costs a few dollars a month
i usually listen to my extensive music collection stored on itunes......
but pandora is good for finding songs you've never heard (until it repeats them 5 times that day)
Now, we are waiting for a plumber, and the seventy dollar monthly bill, which careened into four hundred dollars will have to be adjusted by the home's owner, who has her medical practice next door! Oy, the headaches!
i usualy listen to what my favorite wall has to say
i usualy listen to what my favorite wall has to say
Yeay I just found my song on it!

hi guys i have decided to play the grid today. I know i'll probably regret it later on when i cant complete **i am diving in hold your breath im about to create a massive SLASH**
hehehe..love filo..and is so funny everyone I know scared to DEATH of working with it
*Towels all around* Hi, pinkhatlil
( actually this weekend am helping out with a charity dinner here in town cooking ethnic for about 1000 on monday night )
you will enjoy it, pinkhatlil.. welcome!
hello, pinkhatlil ... enjoy
And everyone I know is so scared of making yeast-breads, etc.
phantom: random
most definitely scarlet
LOL, pink!
I don't mind making yeast bread, when I have the time to do it
yeap..that one too,,and they so easy..or home made pastry....
( bread machine doxy..let it do the work..but one hint..don't bake it in the machine...just let it do the dough )
phantom word: tornado
ok..attempting the st's now... get the towels ready....
just spotted a VERY nutty al7!!!!!!!
I have to make Pulla, a Finnish-style Challah bread with cardomom... the family loves it... and I couldn't use my hands during Easter... I get the question almost daily... "Pulla... this century, mom?"
great recipe site. epicurious.com
lol, mm
OH...I have GREAT bread machine pulla bread recipe
thanks movieman
te5/10, after the singer
and I ALWAYS double the cardomon..
i really like allrecipes.com as everything rated
how lickety managed to get 308 words out of this grid is beyond me!
I don't use a bread machine... you have to braid it, brush it with eggyolk, honey wash, and sprinkle it with slivered almonds... I double it too, carlee, but if I get the fresh pods, it is a taste unlike any other!
and a VERY fishy sa6!!!!!!!
( I use fresh pods... well..kinda fresh they frozen )
I use the machine for the work... then take out, split, braid, wash..I don't do the almonds...but I use demera sugar on top ( daughter hates almonds )
movieman keep them coming its helping me
MM... clue for the fishy word, please?
carlee used a word!!!!!!!!
phantom phantom: filipendulous
hmmm..never heard of using honeywash tho.. I just do egg with demera..and I use evap milk ( not condenced..evap ) instead of reg milk
it's similar to a trout, scarlet
HUH... BabbleRabble-rouser, you have lost touch...
(scarlet used it first )
Thanks, mm
sa 6 -- rushdie
there are 2 fishes. sa6 - swims upstream. pi6/7 - you don't want to swim with these
BR - very fishy LOL
lol, a fish in the grid, sa6
Finger-pointing all around!!

oh, alternative spelling for the pi fish then, doxy......
yep
that finished my P's!!
I have 16 left, Aloy!!

and to pour sherry over it for the final 30 mins, but i only have vermouth.. hope that will do, lol
shdy... LOL!!

Hi, Angela!

You won't be sorry, Aloy!
hey scarlet

Ms. Arquette is in the grid!!!!!!
bye Aloy!
i always feel grounded when you live up to your name, mm!
You're welcome, Aloy. Have a wonderful day!
bye aloy
hey movie my man!
You know, I've never used or had Sherry. We have Coors and Jose, how un-worldly am I? When we have company, I make something in a fire with lots of BBQ sauce on the front porch. (We also say YEe-Haw a lot).
*headed to aloys house for innder*
so...call me crazy but isn't a mooner one who moons?
phantom #9987: madly
LOL, Angela... not in this puzzle~
I may have to protest that one
bunny, you might be a redneck?
angela -- i tried that logic already...heh
Might?
over here we're "cooyons" lol
is it possible to be english and a redneck at the same time? cause if so, then thats my parents!!
pitbull guppies are in the grid
hehe
i don't see why not, evan
pitbull guppies??
and what on earth is a pitbull guppy??????
yup, pitbull guppy, a very small but vicious little fish that has many teeth and loves to bite :)
Hi all, back very briefly and already shrieking in despair.
Those little fish you find in the Chucky Cheese ball pit.
ahhhhh,,,,**scary***
the fish people fear the most ;)
pi6/7 combo
lol - got the pitbull guppies
had them, just never quite heard them described that way! lol
:)
wb MonkeyG, why shriek? It is fun :)
I better get Chops and Fig off to school. Be back to finish if the bad storms hold out. Darn tornado season, ya'll take care.
bunny... I just stepped away for a moment... very funny... fire and barbeque sauce are favorites here, too!
see y'all bunny
take care bunny
Sprite, I stalled out at 162 words quite some time ago and am making no further headway.
I have to hide the lighter fluid if we have a big get together, lol.
Until later, bunny!
Bye...
bye bunny
if one can remand, why isn't mand a word?
Bye bunny
(((MonkeyG))) relax and look for fish... lots of them in the grid ;)
Unmand, upmand, mand and command... hmmm
exactly!!!
I want monster, pianissimo and shady... Dang grid!
ty scarlet, hadn't fixated on monster yet! :)
Hmmm, Sprite. I'll try that. Meanwhile we just got back from the park and met our swishiest neighbor. Quite flambuouyant. Nice guy. Has a Weimeraner.
Welcome to my world, shdy!
Or at least Pianno....
as if mooer isn't a word
Right, Fiber. Hi, there!
just drop an N and you have a word....
**smiles, joins scarlet***
Can someone point me toward the ra7? Don't just feed it to me (yet) please.
Any clue on the first mo 5/14?
Hi, Scarlet--did you clear up the fish pond??
The first mo5/14 sounds like part of the male anatomy but the first letter is (obviously) different.
ra7 is plural, apparently a boat with 3 oarsmen?
ty Monkey
sprite, i am sorry my boss called me....i did see a clue about par tof a lady + male but i didd not get it...try again?
No, Fiber. The water utility said it was not their problem... that a personal plumber would have to make an adjustment on the pipe-to-house feeder mechanism... awaiting the plumber! Our bill went from $70 to $400 plus... and they would not respond to e-mails nor phone messages! OY!
Hmmm. Thanks, working on that...
or6,18 please? Morning everyone
Temple Owl: a hero saves a ***sel in distress, + male child. That is for the da6 :)
Oops, aparrently someone's juice has ended up somewhere requiring a "mama get" trip, and then I'd better start dinner. I'll try to pop back in.
mkl: the east? And hi :)
Oh dear--we have a friend whose city sewer line backed up into their basement. City wouldn't do anything--said she should have had some sort of check valve. They had to throw away everything, even the walls.
The homeowner has her medical practice next door to our home, across the driveway... and she will take full responsibility for the costs! Thanks be to our guiding angels!
CRAP. I miss that every grid. Thanks.
oy! the plums! fish please!
The guiding angels--am9/60...
don't forget the plural then, mkl ;)
Yes~!
Think I'll write it on a piece of paper. Any time there's an O in the grid, I'll type it in first.
Hi, mkl!
lol, mkl
i found ny blind word today! : ) the light gas!
I have a couple of those words as well, mkl. No matter how often they occur, I keep being blind to them.
If you are anything like my beloved, mkl... you'll lose the piece of paper!
***blinder than TO*** thx!
:-). Most likely.
Two words to go till fireworks. Both of them are double o's.
sticky notes, mkl....helps a little, anyway!
ah it is the best day of the week today...about 70 degrees....
guiding angels???
hey everyone
actually, little cupids of love
sounds like the drink, rolin
Every time there is a double O I look for oosic. Never have seen it though.
OO+ horse controls, minus last consonant, and mix up the vowels
one oo is a plural exclamation, one is same word but with other consonant before the plural letter, one is the babblet with only one consonant in the middle
now THAT is a crazy word, scarlet!!!!, or as LoriP would say..stooopid
i thought that was a flavour of icecream?
LOL, shdy... but it's Babble!!
***finally greyed o's***
fireworks.
yay, mkl
Yahoo mkl!!
yay mkl!
Almost didn't start this grid. Too much work.
that too, rolin
YAY mkl
dont you just LOVE it when you realize you had food you didnt remember you had??
You lied to yourself, mkl!! Aren't you glad? :-)
depends on how long i forgot,evan!!!
I missed fireworks by one word yesterday--it wouldn't take "where", so I was one short.
LOL, shdy and evan!
When I find food I didn't remember I had, it's usually in the back of the fridge and either green or orange. Yuck
Fiber... why was that word a problem?
bought some veggies from our little cantina...they come with a little ranch dip, but never enough...i bought it and said to myself "self, i really wish i had some ranch dip here at work!" and lo + behold, i had a totally new bottle in the fridge!
usually food like that makes itself known here by knocking on the inside of the fridge door to be let out
LOL, sprite!
lol, sprite
hello all
Oddly, this page said "you've already entered "where", but it wouldn't show up in My Word List. It happend when there was a system glitch.
how many words?
hi mandy
308
holy wow ty arb
That is really a bummer, Fiber.
did i thank you, sprite? these damned customers keep calling mey phone.....
fiber -- when that happens, try cleaning out your internet history + your cache -- sometimes that fixes it

Bye TO - I'm just getting back on after having computer hi-jacked...
bye to, wb haz
sounds bad, everything ok?
Hi there, Hi there, where have you been all my life?
hi hetty
Yes, shdy, the hijacking was done by my daughter, and since it was for school work,(she's a teacher), I couldn't really complain.
Hi shdy, Haz, all comers
Marilyn's in the grid!!!!!!!!
Hello hetty, nice to see you.
HI babblers, it's a big one today, huh?
Hi Hetty!
Or Dr. Marvin, if you're a Simpsons fan!!!!!!
oh, ok, haz, not nearly as ominous as it sounded!
going to take a nap gl all
No, no weapons involved.
:) haz
shdy, I've gone and done it again!!!!!!
Hi Haz, hetty, movieman, Hi there, BGL
So glad you're in a weapon-free zone, Haz.And many sincere cogratulations on your silver wedding day.
ty, mm was starting to lose touch with "reality" again!!!
yo.
Thank you very much, hetty. It's a special day indeed.
amoretto
ea 7 and 8 please
*YAWN* so bored!!
OOOps! In the corner I go
oooooooo haz, was the cocker sent off on his holidays ok in the end?
***beckons hetty back out of corner***
I'm afraid not, Atalante - his condition deteriorated and he had to be put to sleep. A five year old golden cocker spaniel..... so sad.
oh NO!
Maybe you should drink some to celebrate, Haz and thereby give me an excusefor my loose lips!
oh poor baby
oh haz...im so sorry...
ea7 and ea8 refer to being within hearing distance of something.
ohhhh, haz......
golden cockers are so problematic. they are *so* inbred
ea7,8 are compound words, meaning to be in the vicinity of hearnig
I know, Atalante, the poor owners were really disappointed. They have another dog which apparently had been pining for its companion. Poor people.
thanks my muse
*sigh* I bet :( I love golden cockers, but I'd never have another one. I've never yet come across a "normal" golden
Commiserations, Haz--Poor vets have to bear the sorrows of all grieving pet-owners--takes bog shoulders
*big shoulders
It is difficult - you just have to be as sympathetic as possible. I've had people sobbing down the phone to me about their pets. We get so attached!
hello all! hetty, I got your recipe posted last night
hi stid!
we do! and for good reason - just look at how much our lives are enhanced by our pets
Yes, thanks Stid, I saw that, bless you.Now everyone can make a triple A pie
im missing an 8... i have...am, ea, in, os, pe, sh,
I know, they really do help to brighten up our lives.
hi stid! got your email! am trying to pin friend down on days we're heading up to Seattle. and what's the weather like up there at the moment?
dash
today it's rainy, but tomorrow and the next several days should be lovely! :-) I suspect Portland's weather will be similar. just a secc
Done it again. I'm hanging my head in shame
don't know what pic of mine you're seeing, haz, but refresh if you don't see a gorgeous Hobbit
yep. looks like they're tracking us pretty close again.
it's a pretty black dog, Atalante...
go hetty go! :-) not adverbialize that one...
oh cool! I'm trying to decide what to wear on the plane!
That is a beauty! She looks very relaxed and wise.
does anyone have all the 8's? im missing an 8... i have...am, ea, in, os, pe, sh,
she was having a *sun* moment
ata...where and when are you going?
tomorrow morning and Oregon! WHEEEE!
I'm missing the same one rolin
oooh how fab...to friends?
its gotta be there somewhere miuse..*sigh*
yup, I have a very close friend who lives in Astoria. Once a year I go over to see her and once a year she comes over to see me :)
we usually recommend "layers" around here... *grin* it's warm (60F/15C) during the days, dips down to mid 40s (about 10 C) at night.
Ata, come June we're embarking on a tour of Washington, Oregon and California. Wheee
oh fun hetty!
te8 is a plural compound word
and I get to meet Atalante -- and will see hetty and her darling man again when they come through! :-)
oh lovely, its much cooler than here then. that'll be a nice change at the moment!
thanks shdy!
that sounds great ata.. nothing like having someone based in a place to make you feel at home.
got it thx...sdy
I read that the london marathon was really hot weather!
oh yes, its so lovely, its like just going home but in a different place
yw
so, i think ive officially decided today that my mother must be on drugs...
im yet to make my way to the u.s.. but it will happen
its been really warm here this last week. really muggy and hot
lol evan..whats prompted that?
what was the clincher for this diagnosis evanadine?
Lots of people had to be treated for heat exhaustion, sadly one 22 year old died (after rather than during the race)
why evan??
that is sad, Haz. what a shame!
i didnt hear that haz!...wow...22?... how could that have happened?
a few years ago, when my parents were getting ready to move into the house theyre in now, mom had to downsize a lot of their stuff, so she GAVE me this gorgeous Burberry overnight bag that a client had given her, because it wasnt part of a set, and she decided that she had no room for a bag that wasnt part of a set....
then, on saturday, she GAVE me a Burberry purse that i suppose someone gave to her.
and he was a fitness instructor ...
wow!
even more bizarre ata
he must have had something wrong that was unknown... healthy 22year olds don't just die, even after hot marathon running
I guess it was dehydration related
I haven't heard any results of a post-mortem, but what a terrible thing to happen, isn't it?
*checks bbc news to see what they say*
so why, evanadine, does this mean your mother's on drugs?
the 3rd mo7/32 plz
somehow, i think i will ALWAYS have room for Burberry!
hye movieman!
hiya stid!!!!!!!
i *think* this is the overnight bag: http://www.burberryusaonline.com/produ ct/index.jsp?productId=2574915&cp=2119 866.2050831.2072954&parentPage=family thats an $800 bag she gave away!
Ok, I need a clue for my last 8, the os....
you would of thought smoosh wasa a word lol
mo7/32 - mo plus the name of the late Princess of Wales' stepmother.
*drops in a faint from shock* well, gee... that's a bit of money!
The os8 relates to tumours occuring on the bone.
exactly, stid. and being english, i KNOW my mom understands the joy of burberry!
the Daily Telegraph reported it was due to hyponatraemia following kidney failure caused by a sodium deficiency
oh -- too MUCH water then... that stinks.
i think the purse is about $300 or so...
ok..so whats the difference b/w sodium and solt?
greeting all
salt is sodium chloride
chloride?
so she's keeping the "really" good stuff for herself, evanadine :)
Hello knight.
no difference really the sodium is the Na part of salt which is NaCl...
hi knight
any clues on the pi6.21 that is not the fish or the grapes or the musical instrument
so why on the labels do they separate the salt and sodium levels?
hah, maybe pab! ive already laid claim to her wedgewood collection ;)
when a person doesn't have enough salt (or potassium and some other things) the cells can't "breathe" and process things. too much sodium in the blood or too little and parts start shutting down
pi6 horses
i thought the pi fish had an 'h' in it?
Knight - pl bean (or could be a horse)
lots of things are "salt"
Two of the pi6/21 are very similar, just switching round last letters.
ty rolin and bgl
well salt is the raw ingredient and sodium is the important part. Just like they like the type of oil (olive oil or canola oil) and then how much actual fat is in a serving.
wel im confused..ya try to be healthy...*reaching for some choclate*
You can get sodium from sources other than salt, such as baking soda
so the amount of salt doesn't necessarily account for all the sodium
and "salt" refers to any compound made up of acids and bases
and indeed i was shocked to read on the side of the packet..that my breakfast cereal has a whole gram of salt in an avergae serve
i.e. Potassium chloride is also a salt
shoe
Drat. Sorry.
I was always amused to read about the sugars added to spaghetti sauce. corn syrup has no place in a good marinara!
i'm running out of words :(
true, stid, that's why the stuff in the jars wasn't really mde for human consumption (unless the human is very tired and it's late)
im getting to the point where im giving up all premade sauces and going back to cooking my own..like i used to..
better and actually cheaper, rolin!
an8 please?
of course, we make our own at home... I like being able to tweak everything "just so"
mary..there isnt one
ok ty must have read it wrong
there is an AM 8 but I haven't found it yet
afternoon all back for 2d try :)
better half is a phenomenal cook **lucky me*** and doesn't believe in dried or premade anything
am8 means Cupid but sounds very much like the Italian cordial
am 8 is like the almond flavored liquor
hi granny
yeah i agree shdy...but since ive moved here.. energy has been a prob.. so ive been taking the easy way out...but i think its gonna have t stop

plural of the 6 flask
flask...a religious exclamation
hi guys how's everyone doing? i've got 95 left!
Flask - one of the ho7/32 is a plural way of making a noise, the other is an angelic word of praise.
118 left here
ho7/32 a risque bar?

shdy needs chocolate...
ooooh, yes!
I didn't understand the te 8 clue either...
i can't believe I didn't have my sister-in-laws name the an5/10
te8 = hot drink + living space
stid..a place where you drink earl gray
Okay, time for food, so will take my leave - te8 - think of English cafes where another beverage is served.
Bye for now!

lol, thx for trying!
ok, found it ends like Tony and Ma*** in West Side Story
*Gasp* *Wheeze* *Going for oxygen* Just finished the P words, and it was fun!!
Can't find the invisible no5/10--must be invisible
GO MUSE GO RAH RAH RAH *shake the pom poms* *high kicks* GO GO GO
lol AD, finding these last ones without a list is getting hard
i agree, hetty
ADHD -- sure hope you remembered the bloomers for underneath your skirt!
hetty just clued it
forgot about that upper left N
but not inaudible if you know West Side Story!
of course evandine... i'm not scottish lol
no5/10 add a vowel to the reverse rusting metal
Got it, shdy?
not yet, hetty, brain hurts!!!!
my husband told me before i met his dad (a piper) that they don't wear underwear under their kilts... so after one too many green beers on St. Pattie's day at the Woodstock Pub, I decided to look.
add a vowel to the end of the japanese sushi
I have West Side Story on my mind since my son just finished HS performance
whew, thx muse and hetty for holding my hand!!!
"I've just met a goirl named M****
hah, that story cant end tastefully! ;)
ADHD I'm hlding my breath--so?
well... he slapped my hand away so i never knew. then he asked me the same question and went for my skirt!
good grief, the last 3 no's were a whole school of fish!!!!
Sounds perilously close to abuse, ADHD
he'd had more green beers than me, but he was just joking and putting me in muy place at the same time.
sounds like quite the family reunion, adhd!!
As long as he didn't put you in HIS place
he died suddenly at a young age (55) and as Scots go, he was typical... stoic, desert dry wit, never got along well w/woman, and everyone w as surprised he really liked me (the feeling was mutual)
he was a big chauvenist... men superior and all that rot. until we matched IQs... then i got his respect.
roflmao hetty
Sory about the levity, ADHD. He sounds like my own dad. Remember him with love
ok, now struggling with a to6/18. there are 2 of them in a row, have one......sort of means more fashionable...anyone know the other?

firefly! {{{{hugs}}}} how are you? how are you feeling? I have missed you!

but, the dog comes with them.
LOL mom!
Right at this second I would trade them for my two girls!!! They are hanging over me driving me mad!
no can do, then mom -- Tom is clear that I may not bring any more critters into this house!
aww, hi stiddy! Just haven't had the time or liked the look of the grids ;) I'm doing fine - May 3 I hopefully get to find out what this kicking thing inside of me is (boy or girl or maybe something else? lol)
why do you think i want to trade them steph.they are dong the same thing to me...and torturing each other..and the dog is stinking us out!!! lol
I have still got 180 words to find shdy
ok stid..forget the dog....let's make a deal
sure it's the dog, mom!!! lol
cyclones down here Stid - but they hit Aust up the top around Queensland or Northern territory - down south we don't get them...usually around Dec/Jan is the time they hit. We are having some rain now with winter approaching but drought is a real problem still for most of Aust - looks like a major problem for some of our agricultural areas very very soon
that is so exciting, firefly! well if it's a boy, I am sure feather has some spare names she could lend you...
Oh my God I think we are in a parallel universe! LOL
shdy..those pig ears are brutal!!! lol
hehe
well how do we get out of them steph.
clue for or6,18 please
man, that drought is just hanging on, isn't it? Well, I will send thoughts of nice gentle rains for the next few weeks so the aquifers can refill...
the east, rnp
or6: "Eastern" as in asian...
ma5/12 please?
*far
OH MY GOD
If I knew I reckon I would be a rich woman.
amen steph
stid - i'm just wondering where the warmer weather is...still hanging in the 60's mostly. Today it's windy, but it's been cloudy and raining for several days off and on lately
mom?
flask: several ma5/12's......
the first ma5/12 please
ma5.12 ma*** from heaven
steph...how many times a day do you say...leave your sister alone??...do your homework??...clean your room??....
just venting stid!
it's not bad here firefly -- lovely weather yesterday and Sunday (but I was sick) and dry again tomorrow but today is WET.
a ma5.12 house
biblical bread, estate, sp. hands, bricklayer
a Freema5.12
I couldnt keep count. I am like a stuck record
at least it's still raining for you... I hate when I have to go over the mountains and it's already brown in May or June.
thanx lynxxx!
steph..all kidding aside...do you get to the point where you don't even enjoy being with them?? stid?? any moms??
I wouldnt like to say as they are reading the chat, I think I might lock them in the shed!!!
stid - our grass is sure bright green and growing at a rapid rate though! I just hope for a mild summer - gonna need it with a bun keeping me toasty warm in the oven :P
absolutely. being a mother is not easy, and often it isn't fun. I don't find it rewarding much of the time... but I love my children and though I find them challenging I really wouldn't actually trade them (except for a really good sandwich -- or mediocre chocolate)
that says it all stehp
and the older they get the more fun I find them...
lol stid....
lol, stid
chocolate sounds like a good trade stid
i feel like a rotten mother sometimes...i really get to the point where i don't want to be in the same room with them..LIKE NOW!!! LOL
stid, you speak directly from my own mind, and I only have a toddler so far!!
i do find them fun..but i can't stand when they get over the top and out of control
when I was hugely pregnant with stidmatt we had to go to a funeral for Tom's brother in the tri-cities... it was end of August and I was miserable. And our car didn't have airconditioning.
AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH ....... they wont leave me alone!!!!!!!!!
I "sit" on my children regularly -- we have very strict rules and limits in our house so I don't feel so out of control... it works for us, but I know it doesn't work for everyone.
lol steph.
*****rushing over to mom's house to corral little ones and provide peace*****
Finally 9.25pm and the little man has gone to sleep, HOORAY
you must have patience stid...
oh stid, how awful in every way - i thank heaven for A/C every day i have to use it!!
my youngest just randomly said "do you want a manicure with that?"
ty shdy. LOL
yay, ren!
yeah ren....
steph: try this -- put in earplugs. Sit in a rocking chair in the middle of the room (has to be out of place and prominent location). Grab a magazine or a book and ignore them completely. Worked wonders for mine!
thank stid and shy
lol steph!
rofl steph...
I think I might have an early night to escape them
I don't know what is wrong with him, he usually gets up between 5.30 and 6.00am and in bed by 7.30pm, but today he awoke at 7.10am and just gone to sleep
mine are supposed to be doing homework..vin is distracting them..pencils need sharpening AGAIN.. and again and again...and the wind blew, the nail broke..anything to not do it and the constant refocusing gets on my nerves.
okay, my sick kid has a platter of cheese and crackers. I am going to head out for a while....
rofl?
like, "do you want fries with that?" what are you feeding them, steph??
ren8: teething? or earache/congestion?
"rolling on floor laughing"
teething is rough.
hm, smoosh is not a word?
he is nearly 3½ so I am not sure it is teething perhaps a cold is brewing
this is what happens to my car when other cars run into it. it goes smoosh
Just the usual dietry junk full of additives and crap, do you think its that???? LOL
bye all! *poof*
i agree bend...and smoot.
by stid
just because we can define it....... lol
bendamalina - i mentioned that earlier...smoosh is certainly a word in my dictionary :)
smoot! i like it
see ya stid
and smore
the girlscouts would be heartbroken to know that smores are not realy
yes bend..as in...i would like smore chocolate please!
and mand, because if you can remand.....
good one shdy...
yes...and when your smore is nice and hot, it goes smoosh
exactly, bend!!!!!
and shooer..because if you can sh++, youare a shooer...
exactly!
exact-ter-ly bend
and someone who mo4/5's is a moo4/5-er
to see the amalgamations of letters that pass as words, and then to NOT be able to use smore and smoosh....bleh!
oohh..didn't get there yet shdy LOL
and "nooner" should be accepted too...
my kids are running around singing...i like to move it, move it....
the problem is that the particular dictionary this game is based on has certain cultural or political biases that *I* don't have towards some words that are an everyday part of my language!
definately mo**er should be allowed
hey again everyone
well, be advised, mom, mo**ner is apparently NOT a word!!!!
aahh..just got the mo word lol
Its 9.30 here and i just got rid of one, but now the dogs dropped one and it stinks!
i have never done that LOL
wb hk

Nm found it, a plural
but this is all @ school this is NOT u all
I don't have a list yet so I won't be much help on clues that need me to know the order of words...sorry folks...just so you know I'm not ignoring you :)
wow
wow what?
That's one long sentence.
that was quite the rant, sarah. I hope your day gets better.
my last pi6 is the plural of the wine...not sure if that is the final one though
ooh found a 9!!
hello haz...great picture!
ho6.21 the last one?
hi Haz .... and 'exactly ' Ata !!

sorry rnp...that is my last one, I'll hollar if I get another
maisie (.) (.)
think waitresses and chicken wings, Maisie
Maisie - try a slang word for large breasts
thats a lovely pic of Madame Spangle, Haz
Maisie: you know, the one where all the gals dress scantly (somewhat) and they serve you deep fried chicken wings.
ho6/21? the last one
)
al6=a type of nut
walnut...a kind of nut (the al6 that is)
okay
yes, of course. Thanks Kristinc/rnp!
woo hoo, one column al gray
Thanks Atalante.
No still can't find Kentucky fried chicken or boobs
*all*
good job periwinkle
rnp...another one I jsut saw...plural of a kind of bean
Maisie, it's also something you could call an owl, because of the sound it makes.
i am going 2 go i have a migraine
Maisie - it's just a plural for a maker of noise.
maisie...starts with what an owl says
Maisie, the word you are looking for builds on the ho4/5 what an owl does
bye all
sorry i had a phone call
take care sarah!
bye sarah
feel better ecschicksarah
ecs - talk to your mum, she'll probably know better what to say to you than we do.

"mosh" is a word too - like mosh pit - what's with this dictionary?? :)
Are there only two ho7's
yes Maisie
I get smooshed in the mosh pit!
noots
Just two, Maisie.
help with an5 and na6 please
Oops but not a word anyway
Atalante, what time is your flight in the morning?
meant na5 and na6
ecs - i did not not say you did anything wrong or broke any rules, i simply gave you some advice about discussing potentially sensitve matters in a forum where the person you are talking about also goes to - i'm not necessarily telling you to stop, but if you want to keep discussing someone else we all know, then maybe you could keep that person's identity anonymous & then no one will get hurt feelings & you won't have to ask others to not talk about something which you initiated, no hard feelings
help with ho6.21 - last one
clue the first ra6,21 please
peri...an5/10....yearly
who sees tigger now ??
an5/10 - usually talked about in connection with the recording of history, plural for an6/18
hey everyone
drn, i still see a black square
not I aussie...sorry!
ho6, way more warm?
12:55, so check-in at 10:55, so leave at 8 or so ... *joy*
i see Tigger!!!!!!
thanks but it is the na5 and na6 that I need (misstyped)
i see tigger!
Well,that's not TOO bad. Ready for all those searches?
Have a safe trip Atalante!
Tigger !!
auss - i see tigger! good job!
so, who asked me the other day if there was an exception to the rule that a double consonant follows a short vowel? Cuz I found some . . .
na5 - plural grandmothers, na6/18 - relating to the nostrils. ALmost like the unacceptable pink flowering bulb.
i see tigger too now !!!!!!!! yay me.....thank the lord for that...... i been without an icon for days and days.......
Wish it was me too Atalante !
i guess she left, rats, all that typing wasted :(
how did mr pres go with the star wars for his son ??
????what about nostrils?
thanks Haz
A friend has offered her the trilogy, she was about to sell it on ebay, so emergency sorted out.
can someone help me with the 9-letter words?
na6 - na plus most of a German river.
i have 1 but i need the other one
searches, even more fun! I've packed my craft knives and stuff in my hold luggage, so hopefully nothing too bomb-like or weapon-like should appear in the searches!
awwww, that is so good, I was so sorry for Luke.....
how many words today?
ata - lol, where are you going?
308 chloe
Oregon :)
thanks aussie
Don't forget to check on the liquids rules, they keep changing....
I am always on tenterhooks during the searches, it's like being up before the head !!
in9 is a plural of the word meaning inside (like in****** organs) - it builds on the word that means something similar to an apprentice
can someone help me with the 9-letter words?
one of the 9s is in9, refers to branch of medicine dealing with your primary organs
I have no liquids, that's easy :)
hello all.
Hi Dispatch
hey dispatch
Atalante - why there?
I didn't think I had either, til they confiscated my lip gloss !
apart from nail varnish. nail varnish must be allowed, mustn't it??!!
thx gwen
i got the other one
Aussie, maybe you should change your bio with your atavar change? Otherwise (IMHO) you have a very strange looking baby there! ;)
ata - that's one place i've never been, always wanted to go - there is a town in mid-oregon named 'sweet home' - i think that's the most wonderful name ever for a town & i always wonder what it's like
catching up on the chat...right after the flip, i think someone called the am8 and 9. is that right?
cos that's where my best friend lives :)
hiya dispatch!
oooh, good idea....
g2g everyone
bbl bye bye
Don't count on it. I had lip gloss viewed as 'dangerous' and it had to be carried in a plastic bag. That's why I said to check, international flights might be different.
happy babbling
hey hk and gracie and peri!!!
have a great trip Ata (former Oregon gal here)...it is pretty this time of year (though maybe a bit damp of late)
very dangerous!!! urf. I'll check BA
weee, babblers in Oregon!
latest flight moisteriser was a nono too !
haz with the dangerous lip gloss - ROFL!!!
my daughter works for airline---rule of thumb is pack anything "liquid" into your checked bags
I know - what did they think I was going to accomplish?
hi mccurl
or6 and or7 please
hi helen
just thinking that. nail varnish and lip gloss goes check-in. does mascara count as liquid??
oh Leigh...never noticed before now...I grew up i Milwaukie, OR...still miss it at times though Seattle is nice
haz - you must have had that written across your forehead & not known it : "beware, carries lip gloss"
yep
far east and plural peri
I'm not sure about mascara.
peri....think eastern
well, there ya go: lip gloss, nail paint, mascara = killer looks! LOL
thanks Karys, never seem to see those words
mascara went through ok last time
They just want us to look like nothing by the time we come off a flight.
50 left, time for dinner for me and my cat, bbl
just checked, only got lipstick in my hand luggage. that's only liquid under intense heat conditions!
lol Haz....I do that anyway !
bye per*
bye pe**
Can you see Joan Collins giving up her make-up?
I haven't Babbled in a few weeks, Kristinc, I've been over on the Sudoku site more
there's a little group of us who do both Babble and IronSudoku here in Portland
all depends on the screeners in some places as well. Like I said, I only take (in my carry on) travel size shampoo, condition, hair spray and toothpaste in a quart size clear plastic zip bag. No need to get hung up at security.
gotcha...always fun to see some local folk :)
Always during class, Leigh? :)
there, bio updated...... looks better now....
Aussie -- you got rid of your black box! How?

Hawaian veranda, mo, often seen here

la5 is a Hawaiian word for a porch, sort of. LA + hump letter plus two vowels that don't look right
204 words
bbl babblers......
Aussie; I can understand that. Please know that it is very hard on those caring for the kids with these heart defects too. {{{Aussie}}}
Thanks Nef....... I can imagine...... {{{{{{{Nef}}}}}}
ty for the la clues Inge and book doctor.
8-D
my mom is a nure in the neonatal ICU, I have no idea how she deals with it every day. I have tremendous respect for anyone who can deal with that kind of thing on a daily basis and remain a sane and happy person in general.
(never knew that la5 till someone I knew got a condo that had one on it)
leigh - ita !

ita?
hello guys im back from licketys it taken ages to find all the wods
MOs done at last
hi everyone!
I Totally Agree :) (really going now, bye)
you crazy kids and your internet slang :-P
strange....I tried to enter first vowel, followed by lms at least three times previously....and now it took it. Why would that be?
hi shdybr8
sometimes ya hit the space bar by accident after a word and it wont' take it
hi pink!
piker, when i do that my theory is that i am just typing too fast and either spell it wrong or don't hit one the keys hard enough and it doesn't register.
but three times? I dunno. But, thanks for your insight...
or it'
s just one of those things lol
sometimes i try to type and hit the Control key by accident then everything just goes crazy
maybe so, Book Doc.....could well be. Lots of words to enter....bleh!
lol book, me too
piker, when I'm on a slow connection that sometimes happens to me, or it seems sometimes the host site is just slow/messed up.
I downloaded a program to disable my caps lock key
keep caps locking at the wrong time lol
hmmm...latest construction workers in the world just arrived....dogs going batty
example: i just tried to type an N word and when it wouldn't take it I saw that I had typed it with two NNs. sensitive keyboard!
...or that!
grr, then when you transposed letters . . . babble is soooo picky, can't it just assume I know the darn word? LOL
lol
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
search "gypsy cam" on youtube, and note date. Addition still not done!!!!
that's a bummer shdy
s'ok....willbe better when they finally go away!
at the time of the gypsy cam they were living in the driveway in an RV, satellite in front yard and all! lol
???? a reeally short second....a n*** second....is that not a word?
when they left, i found a little matchbox winnebago and left it in driveway for hubby....he was not amused!
oh my lol
I know piker
wazupwidat?
finally got the p's done!
anyone hve the os7/32?
pl of bone tumor, gwen
hey ypsigirl....are you really from Ypsi?
bone tumor??? (why am i expected to know these frippin' medical words???)
q for the day: If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
shdy, cuz that would end the series! LOL
holy cow i found the freakin' cancer word, TY TY piker
any help with ae 5.10? thnx
because it was his only chance to be stranded with beautiful women....he COULD have fixed the boat. No question
Yes!
ae5 sounds like it has a lot of oxygen in it
gwen, prefix for bone, then end of an so4/5, then plural
OOOPS ignore that last clue. ae5 plural of ae4, a long, long period of time
And the Tigers are on now in LA and losing 5-7 -top of the 8th in case anyone was wondering... :)
shady, got it. I remembered the word carcinoma which gave me the part i needed
eo4.4 periods of time - add an a to this for ae5.10
Any clues needed before I go?

shady, stop already!
ea 7 clue please
I just finished them all - sheesh!
BBL, must eat something
****zips lips*****
nevermind
got it
well Ypsi girl....I'm writing from AA....that is why I ask, so 'hi'!
ea7&8 compound...within hearing range
of course, thanks lynxx
sorry, phone call and distractions pulled me away; but when my computer doesn't enter words I type that are in the grid the first few times; I always think it's because I'm missing an easier word the computer wants first! For some reason; my computer seems to like some core words first before some more complex words. Anyone else have this problem?
thx lynxxx
yes, nef, but always figured it was me - not the computer! lol
Nef - I think we all notice that things dont always 'take the first time. Which becomes an issue if you are just entering and not looking at what is registering
sometimes when the enter key doesn't submit my first word, hitting the enter button (just the first time) works
I swear, it's my computer, NOT my typing! :)
te7? I got the first 4 letters, meaning to rip.... can't get the last 3 letters...
I must go and start my day - bye everyone - have fun!
a place where one drinks Earl Grey, walnut
think of the first 3, walnut, then where you'd go to get it
by lynxx
Walnut te7&8 compound - a place where you go and purchase an english drink - not coffee
got it all. thanks for the te7. I've never had the luxury!

there are two ho 7s, gram was asking for the second one. she knew it was there because she's using lickety's clues (link at bottom of page)
((((((FIREWORKS)))))) what a ghastly grid good night all!!
yay pink
Ha ha! Congrat's Tigger
and Samantha Joy, thank you. Didn't know there was a link....will check it out. Thank you.
yay, pink!!!!!
yep licketys helps alot, and I open them in a sidebar in my browser
piker, look at the links that are listed under the grid. You will find one labeled Lickety's Babble clues, and when you go there you'll have a list of the first 2 letters of every word (and their point count)
i'm old school, have to print the list on paper
hey yall
Hey Nef :)
hey Yoink! How are you! :D
hello again
wb mom!
how was the park?
I'm good, thanks. Enjoying my course so far. How are you?
You're here early today, Yoink!
we went to the gym first...snuck a 30 min workout in..then the park..but some guy started talking to my boys while i was walking the track....so i decided to leave.
Nef! Cool! How great! thanks so much!
hi everyone
spooky, mom!
Think you will like it, Yoink? (I haven't seen you since you got in!) :D
It's not early here, in fact it's a late night with recent form
really stuck on am5.16 any clues?
yeah shdy..i was walking, looked over and saw some guy hi fiving my son....i walked over immediately and backed him off..and said right in front of the guy...joe, you shouldn't be talking to strangers....the guy just looked at me.
It's so sad that we never know whether someone's being friendly or threatening. It's scary.
****shivers**** glad you guys made it home ok...
hey does anyone have a 9 letter word if so may i have a clue for it
it is sam....i guess he was harmless....but i still don't like that..he told my son they could be friends because they were both met fans..told the guy, no, he can't be friends with anyone he just meets without mybeing there.....he must of thought i was rude, but i didn't care
hi
in 8 plural
hi
rather rude than in trouble
clue for in 8 please
I'm just over a month in now, and I am really enjoying it so far. The big test will come in 4 weeks when I start my first placement at a children's hospital
that is how i feel shdy.
Oh, you totaqlly made the right decision. It's just sad that you had to.
in8: inside
yeah..it is sad...i worked out, so now they can just go in my yard and play with their dog!!!
whitesox, there's a whole streak of in words that build off each other. in6 is an unpaid worker, usually college or hgih school, working for experience
ok..my neighbor just walked in..and wants me to see a video he made...i will be back later.
see ya, mom
I'm very excited for you, Yoink! I really hope it's what you love and enjoy!
more of a clue for in8 please?
me to for in8
in8: starts with in6-a doctor in training...
in5 means "to bury"--add a letter to that for in 6, unpaid worker--add two letters to that for in 8, inside
Thanks Nef! Me too
your insides whitesox
takes guts to ask that question
When someone is in an accident the doctors check for _____________ injuries
lol taffy!
LOL taffy!

angora whats my insides
st7.28 the last one?
more rocky, knight
Your in****** organs--heart, lungs, liver
i hope no one minds me asking...i feel like this is a stupid question, but when you guys say things like "st7.28" what do those #'s and letters refer to?
stote
how is moonpie not in there? grrr
OOPS! Sorry
The question gets asked every day
scroll down, tasty, find lickety's list, has first 2 letters and length, points
ask away anything tastybrains
The first # is the number of letters in the word, the second is its point value
I read the help file, I swear!
knight, st7/28 = what the people were at Woodstock. builds of st5,10 and st6,18 and the first st7,28. add a vowel before the last consonent of st6,18
ah, gotcha. thank you :-)
i still dont get it you guys must think im stupid
that q came up earlier, gramma, and led to identifying which of us might be rednecks (although called "cooyons" around here) lol
No, I think you're new to this, is all.
ty for the st clues
it means your inside organs whitesox, another word for insides.......
tastybrains, if you look under the grid you will find helpful links. Lickety's Babble Clues has a list with the info you're looking for
I can guarantee I am a red neck ( :
lol, gramma
1 sec.

speaking of tastybrains, I am hungry, bbl
whitesoxfreak, what I just said to tastybrains should help you also
my q last week, if i went to a family funeral and it involved someone killing an opposum and trying to drop it down someone's shirt, am i a redneck?
thanks so much, Nef, I have to play around with that site! I saw people mentioning Lickety before and had no idea what they meant. :-)
i got 1n6,18 is that what it builds off of
true story, and none involved were kids!!

yes whitesox....... 2 more letters.......
Ewww, shdy! dead animals; down shirts??? Ewwww!

shdy, i see you do statistics. what are the odds of me having 14 4's, 14 5's, and 14 6's left to go, when i didn't intentionally create such a situation?
maybe you should work on some of the shorter words first, white, sometimes the longer ones come from them
duh i am dumb lol
oh, and 14 7's!
it boggles the mind
i have 86 ya
****off the clock***** but long odds hursh!

ok see you later but staying
no4/4 after that 5/10 plural
other 9 is am, plural
i cant belive it didnt take nano
is this am9 weird or normal?

Thanks!

Greetings Babble Team!
ea, pe, te
ea 8 pl of ea 7. Hi all! Hurshy, if my doctor wanted to give me one of the ea's she'd have to have a REALLY good reason. They were my last 2

Congratulations on your new job, hurshy!
one of the great mysteries of life, scrabler

yay hursh! how's the panicky feeling doing?
thanks peri
rofl, weegee
hello peri
it's not TOO bad feather...
hi feather
like stid said, just do your best to keep yourself distracted
last ra6/21?
when uou say ae* it means it starts with ae, or it starts with a and finishes with e
I will send calming, relaxing vibes to you, hursh.....do you feel them yet?
hi all! i've been here, entering words that i had printed from lickety earlier at work. i'm so bad!
yes, that's what i've been doing today feather
hurshy were you playing Weboggle last night?

nope peri, i was not
kidnappers ask for it, walnut
Help with that am8 please--some liqueur

yes hursh?
"people this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live"
lol!
there there, babble makes us all feel like babbling fools at one time or another!
roflmao ****gasp****choke*****
'smoosh' is a word. I don't care what Babble thinks...
see archive, feather
yobaby, i agree, and also mooshy
what shady? when?
My nephew is watching Seinfeld in the LR and George and Kramer are killing me
You are correct, Feather. Mooshy is a word.
maybe 1/2 hour ago?
ok....brb
right before hursh got here
I was disappointed that nooner wasn't acceptable...
lol, weegee, just not "socially" acceptable
I tried "nooner" too
as did i
and moonie
lol shady, are you referring to our young baseball friend?
how is noon not a word? really now
sometimes singulars dont work, but plurals do.
oh it worked that time
that was weird
i think i tried 14,865 words that weren't acceptable, and yes, feather
try it again stvsspl
i'm exhausted!
felt like you were beating your head against a wall, hmmm?
ffffffff, sometimes they have a different kind of singular, for instance "nares" is the pl of "naris"
Moonie is not a word, unles you are more moonie than the next guy
the wall was beating against me!
i had one person like that once, but i think they were being deliberatly obtuse
lol
gotta go get daniel in bed, be back by 7 grid time
I recall photos of hundreds of moonies being married in a group ceremony.... mates assigned by the Rev M**n..... sick
wondered, but nobody else was here, so decided to think they were 8
Ok, gtg
actually, that one is 10 i believe shady
see ya feather
hell
i havent found a single 9, but i have 3 8, enough for someone my intelliugnece :)
opps hello and good morning evering (bad pinky)
hot as? herin?
greetings, herin?

Really!
Trips over feet and says hi :)
2 8's turn into 9's if you make them plural...
hi herin
the middle O there, i have scottish oo4, anyone know what the other one is from there?
well, hi, herin!
My pinky has this irritating habit of hiting the enter key
Guten Abend, Babblers. Want to make the chat go faster, Scrab/ Got your rollerskates?
thanks hursh and every one
Hursh do you feel beter today?
Excited TV weatherman last week, mid-tornado warnings, hollered in his best Kentucky accent "If you see hell, get t'the basement!" Big hail stones...
mmm, about the same herin, thanks for asking. i think i'll be better next week, once i'm actually doing the job. prospects of things are always scarier than the things themselves
Hursh, ae you not well?
3 oo's, hursh, one 5 and weird, 2 4's
Wee is it even tornado season yet?
well i have all the oo's then
wow i would never have seen those 00 words
is there an om, or an os...?
Oh yes, herin, here in Kentucky. Very dry March and April
it is in Ft. worth, bunnyvicious left in a hurry earlier....
only psychologically, inge, as usual.
mo5/14 please
Is Scrabbler in the chat room?
i mean besides the os7/8 combo
2 os's, 7 & 8
hursh do you have the benign tumors for os?
I thought that tornado season didnt start till june,
2 os, sound like a kind of arthritis, end with opposite of pa(s)
the on7?
mo5/14 a single one
on the beach
mo 5/14: a singular thing
Guten abend, Freundin Inge--wie geht es?
mo 5 is like a wanderr in teh dessert with diff. first cons
on7, that's the one
thanks inge and shdy
any LY, or all LA?
Thre you are!! I thought you ran out fo the room when you saw me coming
correct Hursh, all la
6 la
no ly
No, Inge--I was on another site reading and occasionally checking the chat here
AAAH
im so lost again, hey scrabbler
ah, that hawaiian porch
I read backward & see whitesox has been doing well. I'm starting to think he's really 35
on 7 : on + land along ocean
Lady--I found you. You are here and you are safe. Phew!
What is the te8?
how so, weegee?
Yep i am safe and well, darn too early to be awake on a public holiday
oh, that's right, i forgot to keep looking for te8
te8: where you go to get an english beverage
weegee, I tell people that I am 47 but I'm 9
so there is 3 00 words 1 on word?
white seems too patient to be so young, also unusually polite.
the te 8 is the chamber whre the british take their favorite beveralge, not covvee
What holiday is it Down Under, Lady?
true
argh the fish
actually if it were an adult pretending to be a kid i would NOT expect patience and politeness...
ANZAC day, Celebrating the diggers that fought in the wars
well, WSF claimed at one time that his mother and gradnmother use his handle
man eating fish hursh, or the kind that swim upstream?
but then, tickle informs me that my emotional strength lies in empathy, not perception, so...
inge, that would account for it!
lol, hursh
lol, neither weegee. babble fish.
Interesting, Lady---I know nothing about Australian history
ok still confused and trying to figure out the hints - I feel like I am playing battleship - or bingo
what are diggers, herin?
herin, there are still a few surviving vets, yes?
babble lesson: when we miss things we think we should have seen, we hit ourselves with fish. there are various types of fish, such as the pollock of plurality and past tense, the haddock of obviousness, the cod of doh!, and the whale tail of perpetual obliviousness.
Babble Land and Babble-ese are new and different when you enter, mtheve, but stick around and you will catch on quickly
mtheve, what do ou need?
Fighters in the wars/ conflicts in the world, Called em Diggers cause they dig in and do their best
http://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/an zac/anzac_tradition.htm
Here is the ANZAC tradition
LOL, hursh. And I often hit myself with a frozen fish in the winter
I am working on it - gives me something to do at work till 4 AM
ty herin, and lol, hurshy and scrabbler
don't laugh at ME, it was anj who developed the fish system
I have one 9--the te9--what is the other?
hurshy, you never told me taht there are ceetain fish for certain trasngressions!
ANZAC was their official name, but ‘Digger’ is what the soldiers called themselves. Where do you think the name came from? No one really knows! Some people think it was used because many soldiers had worked in the goldfields of Ballarat and Bendigo before the war. Others think is was used because of all of the digging in the trenches. For whatever reason, it is the name the soldiers preferred. Today, if you call someone a Digger it means they are your mate.
am9: plural
well not everyone knows. but it's all in anj's profile.
Oh, wait, the pl te is an 8, and I have am9, so what is the other 9?
I will have to go study taht
and this is why, when i watched "50 first dates" the other day, i found it so hilarious when adam sandler hit his assistant with a fish!
in9 sc
Haha--I have never watched that movie entirely, just seen bits
omg, will have to watch it again! whole new outlook!
can I get clues for those 9's please
herin, my sweetie spends many weeks a year in AU and has described the ANZAC festivities to me... quite grand compared to our Memorial/Veteran's Day
in9 not the outsides
plural of inside is in9
I found in9 (and in6 and 8) by myself!
****gives scrabbler cookie****
kibble for scrabbler
*hints are so confusing*
scrabbler did you get the 7?
am9 sounds like al6/24 flavored liquer, plural
ahhh, i had the 6 and 7
i'm missing an E, any guesses?
eo6
weird e is like an adjective for the eo 4/4
mtheve, clues differ somewhat depending on time of day/who's here, but they're never as annoying as crossword puzzle clues
lol I dunno i can figure out crossword clues
eo ends with name of blond guy dancer on D'ing w/Stars
do you have that hurshy?
lol mtheve
ooooh i kept going the wrong way
Oh, yes, I did get in7 too
phew over 200 now
oh good mtheve, i like giving crossword clues so i'll be glad to have someone to give them too
that was the one i needed mymuse, thanks, i got it
oh dear, extra o snuck in
I finally finished
painful, huh, wurdygirl?
Wow, bartamy, good for you--quite a marathon!
I was cruising until about 175 or so
whoohoo bartamy!!
wtg bartamy
yay, bartamy!
i'm purposely taking it slow to stave off the panic, lol
coongrats bartamy!
**boom** @@@ My very own fireworks and a few roses, lol
only the second one I have ever finished
Anyone else reprint the grid upsidedown and backwards? I'm amazed how that lets me spot so many I miss
gl all, gotta go make supper now
Positive thoughts, Hursh--you are smart, conscientious, you are a Babble Superstar, you will be trained and then do your job well :)
bye bartamy, alphabet soup?
Cool idea, weegee, I never heard anyone mention that strategy
nope, panini bread
I am plodding along 29 left

GO GO Periwinkle!! You're almost there!
never tried that, weegee, but makes a lot of sense!
scrab, since I work most of the grid off-line it really seems to help
oh i am not worried about doing it well, i think i can do that. it's really completely irrational fear of ... the unknown or something
hey weegee im back
thanks for the encouragment, I am getting tired but I will keep on truckin'
offline - what's that????
121 to go for me.....I do not plan on finishing, as I would like to go to bed early tonight after a terrible night last night (anxiety)

Hey white. How're you doing on this one?

OK, I am going to the LR to correct my nephew's college paper
Yes, TY, Lady!
ok good
Pardon whitesox?
enjoy scrabs!
Hursh - you're not sorry at all really. LOL.
Dr God is this persons name deal with it
Happy Birthday, Jacula!
i'm curious...i know clay aiken is very into unicef...could this idol thing be sparked by him somehow?
g-d instead of the word you said
it's a jewish thing jac, you show respect for G-d by not including the vowel
oh im sorry i didnt know
Happy Birthday Jac
whitesox - No. It's Dr_God.
im jewish deal with it
Hursh - Yes. I'm not Jewish though.
it started in hebrew with YHWH... because in hebrew vowels are not letters, they're "points"
g-d g-d g-d g-d g-d g-d g-d
easy, relax whitesox.
today's the day jacula? Happy Birthday!
well, i just didn't know if you were confused why whitesox said that
Scrabbler - Thanks. It was on the 22nd. We spent the weekend in Amsterdam.
sorry its my religon
so, no famous helper for idol this week, eh?
Hursh - I was confused. Thanks for clearing that up.
yes, which is fine. you don't need to get fresh about it.
k, listening to melinda......
sorry its just bad to right it
White most of us wouldnt use the Lords name in vain as its rude but when it comes to a name well meh, Most of as are fairly poliet
melinda's hair looks good this way
maybe you want her to left it
am i being good just trying to preect my religon
lol
Sorry whitesox, but I've got to go, too. Last ones: ra 4/4 liquid snow, ro 5/6 Greek(s) and ro****, so 4/5 black stuff(s) in chimneys, ho 4/5 trumpet(s), ot 5/6 think Ring of Bright Water animal. (White, just think of Dr. G with a little g instead)
*chills*
whitesox - As long as you don't write it, if that's what you feel, then that's okay. However, I don't feel it's fair of you to try to impose those rules on the rest of us. Nuff said, I think.
she is good
Wee thank you i was so trying to think of the Ot book movie
yw herin, maybe too long ago for white to remember?
what do you mean
hee, she's trying so hard to not raise her eyebrows
i dont get some of them
oh, i like when people do well and everything is nice and happy :)
I lved that book i just couldnt think of it, I could so hug you right now
me too hursh!
hmm, lennon next. think it's "imagine?"
i gotta remember to vote tonight for the charity thing
white, the ot is an animal (& plural), furry like beavers, Ring of Bright Water was a book about a tame one, but maybe published before you were born
got it ty
Like the book about a tame racoon, Rascal
Wee think i may run to the shop when they open at 1pm to see if they gots the book
i feel very stuck with this grid right now :P
herin, or try used on Amazon

Well done, whitesox.
Hi ADHD.

Wee, i saw that movie lots of times when i was a kid
Hursh I succumbed at 28 to get the list; you are so much better than I am, you can do it!
Don't go swimming in that knitted item in your icon, ADHD, LOL. I remember what happened to my Grandad when he came out of the water in the trunks my Grandma made for him.
WTG whitesox! Keep going. Hurshy, french for ghost writing name(s)

Feather hows the flock today?

blake looks cuter without all that gel in his hair, i think
do you have 3 pe 4/5 after the fruits

what about a pe4/4 that rhymes with a re 4/4 also in the grid...it is a stand alone word and was my last p
pe5 following the pe4 (domestic animal), maybe?
all in a row mymuse? no...
hold your hats people. since the first time i've heard melinda, i've actually preferred somebody else over her for a night! that was just fabulous.

there are 22 sh's
d'you have a hook on the other side kristin? that'd be cool

sh4/6 - a variant of the Yiddish for a stupid or obnoxious person.
yes I think so
sh4/5 - footwear, sh5/12 - one who provides the footwear (at least for horses), sh6/21 - plural.
nope...have both last I checked
so5/12 is plural of the 4/5
sh5/12 - what the sun did.
good eeeeeeeeeeeeeevening all!
sh4/5 - scat! Go away!
Hi mamabear.

feather, smell or firebug
oops the 5.10 is fire
{{{{ bear hugs to all }}}}}
sh5/12 - very old word for having footwear. Add a consonant to the end of the 'scat' word before it.
got it, ty
sorry to hear you had a bummer of a day mama, sit back and visit for a bit.
I think I will dawg.... thanks so much!!!!!
sh5/12 - tells to scat or go away. (Sounds like plural footwear.)
can i getcha an adult beverage?

(((hugs))) for mama
3 herin

st + otic organ + not out
all the idol people have been fabulous tonight
I havent sent them part 2 yet, no word from German TV what they want to to with it, So I am procrastinating as well

Jordin is a winner!
ha ha ha ha! Good Clue, hurshy
how are you feeling kristinc?
after they get rid of chris richardson, how are they going to get rid of anyone? they're all soooo good right now!
i want a tie between melinda and jordin
three way tie bet. melinda, jordin and blake
that would be awesome hursh
me too
that too
sh6/21 & plural 7/32 = aircraft navigation system. (sh + round vowel + past tense of what a sprinter does)
though I'm sure they'll both get record deals
see? i just can't choose now! i mean, other than melinda, who i've loved from the start
Say, Inge.....Renfield told me last night, that I needed to talk with you.....are you from DE? I lived/sang there for 10 years....
i think jordin and blake are the most marketable for the young set
Wow! Where were you over there?
okay... i've gotta stop chatting now and dive back in.. i've got over 200 left
are you still talking about american idol
I started in E. Germany, (Mecklenburg) then was in Hof, and then in the Ruhr, Dortmund
take your snorkel with you ADHD
go DO go!
ADHD...I have, like over 150 to do, too!
Are you German? What took you over there?
sh5/12 - the seaside/beach. sh5/12 - what a sheep is after shearing. sh4/5 - what a gun fires or a single measure of a spirit. sh5/12 - add a vowel to the former word. sh5/12 - plural gunfire or drinks.
GO PIKER GO
No, no. Am not. Are you? I was singing opera. Got hired over there.
go piker go!
and then double the cons on that last one... i don't get it, what sh am i missing????
I happen to know a singer from the Weimar opera. Were you ever there?
ok House is on, be back on commercials
well....I guested around a lot. I may know this person...or, too, may not. It's a small business in many ways. You never told me, are you DE? And, Weimar, is, by the way, a gorgeous city, even tho it was in the East.
hursh, the last three have to do with that doubled consonant
hursh - yes, double the consonant for sh5/12 next one. Then sh7/32 = single gunfire + number after nine. sh6.21 - plural of the word before it.
phew, thanks
That concludes the 'sh' words.
y/w, hursh.
nice job jac!

If anyone newish here wonders what we mean when we say 'doing a peri' it means you as for a clue and then find the word the moment you ask. Isn't that right, peri? ((HUGS))

al7/36 - nuts. am7/32 - sounds a bit like somone describing an Aussie sheep ' a m*****'. an7/40 - a deviation from the norm.
2 H7
2 M7

yes, coyote man, do you want it?

how come you don't
mo5/14 at the top of the list please?
you wrote dod Teague
mo7/32 - more lunar.
teague, i love your laughin' pup!
jac did you see my posts?
I know
I'm very bad at typing
I meant dog
hursh - see your posts? Probably not. Will scroll back.
feather, more lunar
oops, forget that feather, mo+ male jewel
the mo5/14??? more lunar is the mo7, right?
thanks lbdawger
lol, don't confuzzle me more than i already am!
mo5, single one
lbdawger? Is it ok if I can call you a shorter name?
Ah! Hursh - if you only have 2 m7 you want 3rd mo7. mo7/32 = mo + wet downpour/precipitation + vowel.
i think moonpie should be allowed
LOL! ok, NOW i get the male jewel reference.
you can abbrev all our names tea
teague, you can call me anything you like. dawg, lbd, lb, hey you...
I agree. I tried that earlier too! Drat!
thanx
thanks jac!!!!
y/w, Hursh!
lbd, see icon
the clue you gave, dawg....the male jewel? Is that what I think you are saying?
i hate dumb words. i mean the ones that you think "nahhh, that can't possibly be a real word" and you try it and it is.
rofl shdy!
short for go***s piker!
Piker...probably
we should have a maxine theme
ha!! Thats great! Thanks, Featherbee!
mo5.14, any simple, single-celled organism. it fits! lol
Speaking of male jewels, feather, I laughed out loud at something someone on my forum for personal friends (in that we all really do know each other and meet up) earlier... She was trying to cheer someone one up and suggested we should get our Scotsman to put on a kilt (and nothing else), stand on his head and say, 'How's that for a shuttlecock?' Made me laugh!
my exhusband dawg?
so, it changed, lbd? i still see shady and bear (and mutt#3)
LOL jac!
Jacula....that is funny! thanks for sharing!
refresh shady
lol jac
it shows up fine for me shdy. go back to your account and hit F5.

*feather
hmm. do you see it in the log, but not when you click?
lol jac
yep
ah, ok, when you click, then hit F5. it will refresh that box.
may I please have a clue for the top n? I only have na 6/18
love learning, thx feather!
teague, ba**** like the fruit
last mo7 please?
Glad you lot all thought it funny, too. I haven't laughed on my forum yet - not sure Andy would think it funny. Will say it later and explain that it's the image that's funny not the sight of HIM.
thnx!
***maxine reminds of earlier trials and tribulations with young babbler****
feather, sounds like a woman's name. mo+ water from the sky + vowel at the end
That was right in front of me and didn't even see it! :D
last mo7: rocks left behind by glacier
Last mo7 = mo7/32 = mo + wet downpour/precipitation + vowel.
oh, man, you're right shady! aren't some of them just?
Is anyone finished

i'm not preggers shdy
when I was preggers you could actually see my daughters limbs popping out
i swear, the other day he was trying to touch my toes. my belly felt very bottom heavy. then he shifted, thankfully.
good lord shdy, i'd kill hubz and then doctors if i were preggers!
well put, feather
Gkmandy - with my firstborn, i could see very clearly late in the pregnancy each bump sticking out
Ooh! This a a fecund part of the chat. I've just had my 50th birthday and so I hope all this fecundity isn't catching. LOL. Done my bit. One of each and one step-daughter.
even better put, lbd!!
Teague seemed like a nice person
I need the os7/32 please
i never could with daniel, his placenta was in front, so it padded him. this one's not though, and i feel the difference!
thanks

i'm a bit older than Jac, believe me, it's a been there done that moment...love the grandkid tho!
That is sweet
firefly - my daughter left one bump sticking out forever on the right side of my belly. She tells me now (aged 20) that it must be her climbing frame she left in there. :-(
os7 is bone tumor
Mandy, oo+ white grain used in sushi...minus the c
lol jac
teague, we get lots of younger players that aren't so polite or nice, so it's very refreshing for us!
tyibd

That is a great compliment from everyone

Thats a cool icon
Thank you
clue for the or 6 please
Teague - I've no problem with mixing with anyone of any age providing they play the game. Mind you, and this is to all of you, I think the 22-year-old barman in our hotel in Amsterdam *may* have been a little perturbed when I started chatting him up with a view to taking him home for my daughter. LOL.
I have a question. What do you all mean about the "fish"?
see 8:42, herin
or6 = the East.
>9))<< for feather just clued herin
opps
hehehe jac
hello everyone -- I was hoping for a 100 worder
goodness, jac
Hi Nan!
offt
hi nan!
hey nan
not even close nan
ill have that fish too, im deep in the grid i have 17 left
offt?
os7? i do really well for a while, then run into a group that stumps me.
ahhh, now i see the horse's head...that is a neat toy coyote
WHy is it ever grid that has T or S words i dont see them
os7 is bone tumor, then a plural
250 words done here think i am done soon
The fish, Teague? Well... when you've been playing for a while you will see that obvious words are missed (you miss Babblets, plurals etc.) When you do that, you ask to be slapped around the face with a fish. It might be fresh or frozen - depends on how easy th word should have been to see.
What do you mean I'll have the fish now?
bone tumour Feather, latin for bone + not pa
oops
sorry i repeated myself
think the fish thing comes originally from people missing an obvious word like "tuna".
teague's got the hiccups now! lol Mandy you can do it!
so frozen is if it was so obious?
ooh. That is cool
lol, feather
Hi Nan!
well, i don't feel bad about missing that os now! had to look it up
lb what do you mean I have the hiccups?
need help on the pe's from 6/21 on
Hi all. I just discovered this today and I have played as time permitted.
you said it over again
hi nan sorry trying to finish this puzzle
hi vollady
that's when you double post teague.
oh.
welcome vollady - it's addicting!
thnx

welcome vollady
Hi Vollady, welcome to babble.
wait, do you have the pe6/21 to start? lol, sorry....
Not usually
no
lol
vollady, no, this is a pretty big grid. average is usually around 200
pe6, a human, pe7, somebody's "image", pe8, intimate details
te8?
no vollady, it varies from under 100 to over 400, but mostly stays around 150-250 i'd say
this one is tough....i still have 100 left
this one is tough....i still have 100 left
Don't scare her firefly
Re the young barman, who was a student teacher of maths, and also tall, blond & good-looking (not that that had anything to do with it, of course!) - I did make it clear to him that he was answering my questionnaire as to wether or not he was suitable for my 20-year-old daughter. He got lots of ticks in the boxes for a while, until he said, ' Cleaning and stuff? No, that's women's work. I don't do women's work.' He also had a steady girlfriend of 18 months' duration. LOL.
ty ty ty feather
me too vollady, and i've been playing all day (as well as for a year previous, so experience doesn't always help) :)
vollady, you're doing great!
Jac and at that point i would have narded him, cooking cleaning is not womens work
over 400?!? **checks into rehab***
i agree shdy
Has there been puzzles with over 400?
the really big ones only come once in awhile, as do the really small ones - you can check back out now
te8 - hot drink and place to drink it also te7
explain my name - vol lady (university of tennessee volunteers)

yw
last time i reported a troll to dr. god, i also asked if i would be provided with a home when i lose my job for babbling
lol shdy
what did he say shdy?
What does a troll mean in babble?
opps i was just about to say that once i looked at lickety
Goodnight everyone, see you all tommarow.
no response, .....yet
herin - I did!! Mind you, my Other Half, who had, after all as my 'toyboy' (he's 12 years' younger than me) paid for my 50th birthday weekend away was looking on and, as he said, he wouldn't have minded me 'going in for the kill' if I hadn't first told him, 'If I was 30 years' younger....' ROFLOL. It was his own fault though. When we got back to the hotel, I was just going to have a coffee and go to bed. It was him that kept on drinking beers and wine. I just thought, 'if you can't beat 'em....' in the end.
LB i think i fainted at that word count
nite coyote man
a troll is someone who comes in with little intention to play the game but to mainly disrupt the chat.
Night coyote
lol at Jac
nite, coyote
oh
500+ grids are not unknown. They don't arrive very often, though.
goodness, jac!!!
what are some wordl
A troll is someone evan and ren like to roast
a troll is also someone who flat out asks for words, without really doing much work on their own first
in answer to your question, teague, watch
who just ask you to give them words
lol
the troll is often rude, immature and sometime profane. doesn't get it that we are pretty serious about the game and not very tolerant of foolishness. although we can and often are silly
pi 6-7 combo plz
so they don't play, but just chat and ask for words?
silly, yes, witty, yes, rude or mean, no
prism, carnivorous fish, we usually see it as py
they think they play, but really want everything handed on a silver platter
wines, pris
Taegue, basically someone disruptive, unplesant.
THey don't sound that eager to play the game like everyone else
oh, nm, lost my mind

Teague - you can hover your mouse over the flag and it'll tell you the name of the country :)
teague, hover over the flag and it'll tell you :=)
hovering doesn't work for me!
teague, just click their icon pic
I think I'm doing something wrong
cuz It doesn't let me hover
save yourself the hassle teague, it's ghana
Theme for 25th April is Red Hat day. (Red hat, no drawers was the term for a prostitute in England during the Wars). However, Jenny Joseph's poem may well explain the reason for the theme in this case: Warning by Jenny Joseph WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
just put your cursor over the flag, it should show you the name of the country
probably not teague. like i said, the hover doesn't work for me
well... i tried but it doersn't
hi
doesn't sorry
lol, yes, red hat refers to that poem.
Jac its our ANZAC day today ill stick to that till tommorro
To me it looks like the bolivian flag.
oh really? that japanese car ho is allowed?
herin, ANZAC? what does that stand for?
23 words left of a 308 word grid, and NOW hubby wants to talk!
herinfern - I know, luv. xx
urgh! he finally went downstairs
Would the flag be the bolivian flag Ramix by any chance?
Australian New Zeland Army Core, like american Memorial day, my profil has more details
ramix, it also means the eye at the end of a lariat
thanks for info herin.
teague, did you try clicking on the icon picture? it's ghana
I did, but it doesn't show
But thanks for the name!
no, but it says her country in there! ;)
o you have any words
do you have any words
Jac there was this wonderful gardens designer Edna Walling and she wore pants and comfortable shoes liturally, she was a pioneer in the garden industry, Her and her friends were called the Trouser Workers and that was not meant to be poliet
It's just the flag has the same colors in the right place and the signal from afar looks the same
top st7 please?
herin - she sounds great.
oh duh!
with no list feather, my only st7 is more rock like
I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention to that.

Hi all 308 dont think so my hat off to those who finished and those who tried
uhh lbd that made nos sense lol but I will figure it out
yep, and that was off the top of my head too.
Jac:Where did they get the Red Hat idea i wonder, was it a sign of wearing colour meant you were improper
hiya diem - i tried, but still 96 left and dragging
how about last st7/28?
herin - red is the colour of danger and also the colour of sex.
no, just wearing something loud and clashy
last sn5/10?
A red had and no drawers (knickers) meant.... well, you can guess. LOL.
st6/18 after drugs
Oh derr and i guess that meant wearing that colour meant you were deffinatly improper
My friends rego was 'red hat'
Amsterdam has a Red Light District. This is where 'ladies of loose morals' sit in red-lighted windows to show off their goods in the hope of selling them.
oh, sorry herin, i was referring to the poem red hat and purple something or other
te7 please?
Sor right im kinda lost
last sn5/10, noise made when sleeping
feather - I think we are trying to tell herin that the poem means that when one gets older, one doesn't care what people think, but shocking people is a bonus.
I would like to hunt down the people move to a red light distict then bitch in the paper about the people street walking
not sure which one you need mandy
te7 - the beverage and the place to drink it in

re the te7 & 8. I almost cried when I couldn't get a proper British/Indian 'cuppa' in Amsterdam. My santy was only saved when we visited our friends the next day... the hubby is English, the wife Dutch. She made our beverage and told us that she demands he brings PG Tips home every time he visits England. Unlike most Dutch folk, she loves English te* + milk.

Hi jilli, hi Jac--and thanks for the poem YOU qoted, Jac
and I'v e just arriv3ed, jilli, and seeing you here persuades me to stay
I'm still here, jilli. Hetty - knew you'd like it.
I missed Jac's poem -- where is it?
'Bye for now, vollady. Come back when you can.
how nice, Hetty!
jilli - It's a poem you know.... I'm sure:
im here but trying desperately to finish this grid
I've loved it ever since I found it way back in the eighties, when an enterprisin grad student showed it to me..
Warning by Jenny Joseph WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
this is making me mad it is not showing all my words :(
Oh yes, Jac!!!
Hetty - that's wht my old schoolfriends are all swearing will will do and wear on our next meet (when most of us will be 51 or nearing it).
gkm, did you refresh?
well since this is being rude lol I am going to bed
If only I had a red hat--if only I had a hat of any colour--if only I could WEAR hats
i did and now it is showing only to na's
and I am way passed that
Better luck later. GKM.
(Try defragging your PC later. GKM.)
And Jac, I qualify, being a good 25 years older than you and your friends
its now showing to sh and i am passed that too well i am going to bed
so invite me to your meetng, please, and for once I'lll wear a hat
jac, you're not NEARLY old enough to wear purple!!! Tough luck -- I am!
hetty - I know! I'd love it if you could accompany me to that next meet, whenever it is! I mean that.
and yes, jilli, you most be the only fellow babbler older than I! And not by very much
Hetty and jilli - please be my very welcome guests at the next meet of my old schoolmates.
dilly id older, hetty-- she lurks a lot :)
How about it, jilli? I'll go if you will
oh jac, wouldn't that be fun!
we're all sisters - let's all wear purple and spit
I have airmiles, and maybe you can find a way to use yours--
Ren, just read you profile. Boy, can you spit
:) we be a spitting bunch!
it's about my nearly-18-year-old beloved cat on medications...but I have a cousin and other old friends I could visit too...
Which reminds me, me best old schoolmate rang me earlier. She's gone an bloody well done it again... decided to marry on a Friday. I went to her first wedding alone and, it seems, I will have to go to her 2nd alone. I had/have a man both times, but height of the holiday season, time off not possible. She was my bridesmaid. I wasn't hers when she married 6 months later. And, even this time around, seems she's not realised, though she commanded me to be there, she did say that... this isn't an invitation, it's a command.... no mention of me having a special part to play though
GRRR!
having had a Shanghai childhood I'm really grossed out by avoiding spit gobs on the sidewalks/pavements (I'm bilingual as you knw)
jilli, I think you omitted a verb--do you mean you can't undertake a trip on account of your poor dear cat being on medications? That's so sad
yes, hetty -- I just hate the thought of boarding her
And my commiserations, Jac, but think what a great story you can make out of it all
jilli - sorry about your cat. Know how it feels to be losing a pet.
hetty, jilli, rennie - we'd make a great team at a wedding.
there is a art to spitting - not gobbing - wish i could cat sit for you jilli!
spitting excellent, wot?
hi everyone
hi gracie
Yes. Just so long as it isn't mine.
i cry at all wedding - even the ones on tv....i promise not to spit...
Ren - the art to spitting in a royal and far-reaching way is to purse the lips. My old regal half-Persian cat taught me that lesson. RIP my beloved Kira.
Hetty, do you know of a good cat-sitter who doesn't charge a fortune?
Rennie - I cry at weddings, too. Didn't used to before my divorce. LOL.
Jac -- divorce? A long time ago, I trust?
brb -- need a vodka refill...
I'll be crying for the poor groom at this wedding though; she's trying to de-weddingify it so much. I think she sometimes forgets that this is his first wedding.
that would be a fun wedding mistress! 1st time for the guy? whoa!!!!
jilli - 10/12 years now for me. Other half hasn't done it yet. Best mate (who is remarrying now, did it a decade ago) and the man she is marrying will be marrying for the first time.
please....a little help w/a word conundrum. When I play this stupid word search game, it always takes 'dan' or 'dans' as a word. Why not here?
hey piker!
oh, piker, the "dictionary" used here is totally weird.
piker - he 'Enable' (or 'Disable' dictionary, as we call it) doesn't much like French words, it would seem.
Hey Ren! Whats all this about spitting?
It recognises "email" but not "internet"
okay...thank you, Jacula.
RENNY!!!!
jac -- dan is also a judo level.
It has no idea that to make Huskies run, you might need to yell, 'Moosh!'
jilli - I know.
smaller!!!!!!!!!! - i was just thinking about you as i ate some nutella!!! on a spoon!!!!
and karate
nummy nummy nummy nummy nummy
jilli - I didn't mean that to sound nasty.
thought you would, jac ;)
ooo i have some nutella. now i need some nutella. brb
Ha ha!!! It's so funny! You used to not be able to buy that here in the States....I loved Nutella so much when I was over there. Gained about 15 lbs. from that alone. Was a tough habit to break.
nutella? YUCK! Hate the stuff. My daughter also spoons it in.
won't touch it because I know I'll be addicted :)
we love nutella!!! not as much as shoo fly pie tho :)
oh man! That stuff!
I love chocolate cake and I love nuts but hate that spread. Incidentally, did you know that the best choc cake is made with carob powder?
piker -- the spitting reference stems from a poem Jacula quoted about getting old -- you can find it by checking out the chat log (click on the little square icon above right
Hi again jilli, had to leave for a while, and no I don't know of anyone who will catsit, not having a cat myself, but I'll ask around.
aha! Then perhaps, Jacula, you don't care for Hazelnuts. Nutella is made with those guys..
okay, will do!
Talking of pudding, cakes, addictions generally, Stid put my "Triple A Pie" on babanon to tempt you all.
ok this is only my second game and I suck - still have 169 words left!
Well, jilli, re the cat, I wouldn't risk bringing it over here, because sometimes their microchips fail and even the paperwork being right doesn't stop them from being quarantined for 6 months, even if you wanted to subject them to the travelling in the first place.
Hetty - catsitting is much easier than dogsitting -- no walkies necessary, just feeding and picking up the litterbox(es) and making sure the meds are consumed (they're tasty goodies but must be applied twice a day
oh, mtheve, I have 140 to go, so you are not alone!
qnd when I went t look at it I found myself drooling again, as I always do when reading the recipes and finding Jac's pages---
I do have 3 of the 8 letter words
Jac, I wouldn't DREAM of taking her with me!!!
So... I got 14 inches of hair cut off..donating to locks of love :)
I love hazel nuts, when the squirrels don't knick 'em all first before we humans can pick them off the trees. I just don't like the processed version of hazelnuts and chocolate.
hehe. love the two electric measurements that are palindromes of each other.
nice carra - I donated 18.5 inches about 4 years ago
Brava! (on the 8 lettere words...) And Carra...my friend, Janie just did that, too. I admire you guys. That is wonderful
jilli - my brother and siter in law hire cat sitters to come to their house a couple of time a day - usually a very responsible vet student :)
Off again, bye for a while
bye hetty - see you tamale - going to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's
sorry to be intruding on clueing and babbling. I gave up on this big grid ages ago -- not enough time except to see my babblepals
i have a friend who's a great pet sitter and believe it or not, her name is Candy Cain
bye hetty. Am I fighting a losing battle trying to get my last d word, anyone?
(((jilli))))
Hetty - I hope you, me, jilli & rennie can form a group for my wedding invite. I do mean that!
piker I still have 2 to go for D
piker I'm looking for a last D word too. prolly the same one
da5/18 add sometimes vowel to word just before
When is the wedding, Jac?

Probably!!! trying to decipher this clue that Uneaixoise gave...
Wedding is Friday 24th August, jilli.

thank you nono, and yesyes to your fireworks!
ok help a newbie - I get the da6 but can someone explain the da6/24?
:-D
yes....that is it, the da 6/24.....
I'm in awe of that chicken viking helmet
for me too, rather.
oh, i thought you wanted the last d word . . . it's the word just above it plus the sometimes vowel
da6/24... da4/6 +not off but **
ooohhh, you wanted the plum!
I had that...the reindeer adverb
good looking knitted pieces... you guys are so talented!
thanks nanette
piker the 24 refers to the point count for the word
who was it who had the knitted tank cosy earlier today? (Military tank, that it, with guns...
believe me, I didn't MAKE the chicken viking hat LOL!
dashs
i think it was Helen!
ohhhh ok
oops.....that was a mistake...
and that was my question - thanks
I didn't mean to do that....sorry!
hahahah une - looks like a turkey ready for baking!
here's the cosy: http://sherrychandler.com/wp-content/u ploads/2006/12/pink_tank.jpg
piker, we all do it!
ren, it reminds me of the Friends episode with the Monica wearing the turkey on her head!
all of us!
lol piker :)
thanks
and it wasn't a word as such. LOL.
thank you. It scared me there...don't want to goof or do dumb things like that.
ok I give up - one word to go st7/28 (after the chest & before the bum) - please
No, I know! I was thinking out loud...trying to figure out if there was something I was missing or other...and...well....sorry.
i put in one of the biggies once...maybe twice

:)
I am off to bed now good night everyone and Happy Babbling

night night nononanette
how about that st7/28?? eh?? well?? are you still awake?
s + droplet from your eye + not out
oh, but there are 2 more . . .
I must tell you all (speaking of knitting) about my friend here who used to knit to-scale miniature seateres, doilys, what have you, on tiny wire needles using silk thread. Amazing -- wish I had pix to show you!
ta all & goodbye for now
which one did you need?
thanks une
yw :-)
jillibus, that sounds veeery tedious!
sweaters, doilies
I can knit for days but can't cast off for the life of me
but give me my sewing machine and I can make anything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67XmgLl Z9LI
the sweaters are about 1 inch square, with sleeves no included -- as many stitches as a full-size one!
Have fun, with Capt'n Jack Sparrow, girls! *grins*
ooohhh, that was wonderful, Jac!!!
*madly fanning meself*
mmm, jac! Now I guess I have to watch those movies
:)
Fan-bloody-tastic, eyemakeup and all. A typical guy, brave when he needs to be, scared when he needs to be (if you look, if you are there), bombastic and boastful at times, but he comes through. The hero. 8big smile*
and to think my grandson actually looks like him and has a sense of humour too, and a low voice (he's taken)
no eye makeup needed either
he's 27 (drool, ladies)
jilli - b*gger he's taken - he's mine! Erm, your grandson? How old is he?
Drops in from above and sn5/10s jilli's grandson. Not sure yet if he's for her daughter or for herself. ROFLOL.
I don't have a daughter, hehehe
oh yes, he's al** 6'1"
JD was born in 1963 and so I think he's 43 this year. HE'S MINE! HA! DREAM ON DAUGHTER AND FRIENDS! rOFLOL.
44, NOT 43. Near my g*d to thee!
*Meant nearer my G*d to thee.
I know, jac ;) - lol
ty for the clue jillibus :)
smiles at jilli.
clue?
Dunno, jilli. I'm watchinf Lyn Skyn's Freebird on Youtube right now.
he is al**....
ae 5
I can't believe that they took what you say in a bull fight! How wierd!
..And, jilli, still thinking about that poor barman trying to hide from me shifting over to reception (which was only a thin board away from the bar) to read his thick book. LOL. NO ESCAPE! Poor lad!
that isn't helping piker - I can't spell it lol
hey again everyone
he adndhis girlfriend had just qualified in the ballroom dancing championships with waltz, tango (but no roses in teeth), cha, cha , cha. I asked him about saltza or rumba - they'd not heard of or got to tht yet.
sigh
mtheve....what? You can't spell....what you say as you run through the cape? Think about it....
Hi again, Hell.
lol ok give me a minute
try to hear it....
What's mtheve trying to hear/spell?
red cape....bull snorting....the Bull fighter commanding...."****, ****"!!!
I'm listening to Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well' again at present, btw.
I got the t4 one is that what you were talking about?
yes. and the plural
to**, To**, To**?
right!
oh ok I already had it
having computer trouble -- back in a while
I was thinking hondolay lol
now you got me wondering what it is sheesh
Bull endings ( this is a Taurean person giving them to you) - the only vowel ending you don't get for it is a 'u'.
right!
thanks Jac
I had all of those but 1
after dinner (a late one) -- will email you when I can, jac (email is the prob just now)
something tells me I am not going to get the other 161 words
bye jillibus
Same her, re e-mail probs, jilli. But, hopefully, we will connect at some point. Listening to Doris Day Whip Crack away at present.
well you got more then I do ...I need 195!
that is only because I work from 7 P - 4 A so I got the puzzle when it began and it was still going when I got back to work
Demmie - I've not long come back from a 50th birthday weekend in Amsterdam. Have had long enought to recover and to play nd give clues.
Last night for clues before comittments set in....
I had a chance to go there in the spring but couldn't because my sister was sick.
got the "bull" one.
Demmie - don't know where in the world you are. If it's K then it's no more than an hour away via plane, or from many parts of European mainland.
UK
I am Canadian Jacula not far from Jilli
Ah, a longer flight then.
a wee bit!
I'll give you a tip then , Hotel Acro is in a good street (i.e. quiet) but go for the Park Hotel. Just around the next corner but it has far more perks. Or you could go for The American Hotel. Howver, I'd recommend the Park, it's right opposite the tram rides you'll need, the Hard Rock Cafe, the Irish pub, and MaxEuplein (where the giant game of chess is played daily). Also right near the Rijksmuseum and the van Gogh Museum.
And watch your step crossing the roads, it's sheer madness twixt bikes, mopeds, scooters, motorbikes, cars, lorries, vans, and trams there.
So where is my place now?,(Just listening to Melanie's 'Left Over Wine' which I did hear played in Amsterdam last weekend.
So where is my place now?,(Just listening to Melanie's 'Left Over Wine' which I did hear played in Amsterdam last weekend.
It's heard occasionally in folk pubs in England, also.
ots of times in my house, but never mind.
Is she still popular in Germany or do I need to go to New York to find her now?
I named my daughter after her and he sung me a song for my new-born daughter.
I have a friend who lives in Venlo so I would just stay there I think
i thought the grid changed at 12?
12 central time
yea thats my time
it is only 12 eastern time
sh.t
lol
and to think I still have 4 hours left to work tonight
central time? great. i just found this site. now i have this AND woot to keep me up past my bedtime. 6.6
well, curious; at least they both change at the exact same time! (I loves me woots!)
na 6 plz
Oh,nice (not)! Myother half just peed off to work and didn't give a shit about who might accompany to my best friend's wedding. I kinda, maybe guussed he might be waiting until after the birthday to dump me.
na6 - pertaining to nostrils.
dump you? are you serious?
again with the nostrils.....I don't get it
Demmie - in time, slowly, yes.#
dump him first then.
Jac, sorry to hear that. :(
I don't want that, Demmie.
but if you think he is going to do that why stay?
you are worth more than that.
thanks jac
He took me to Amsterdam for y 50th birthday. He's 12 years' younger than me and maybe didn't realise the difference those 12 years can make to your walkingh abilities re cobbled streets and steep staircases. F**k me! I've never been so knackered in my life.
My loss, his loss, who knows?
that happened to me a long time ago. BUT, I was only 42...and he was 30. He never knew my age. It was the single most awful romance gone GONE in my life. Has taken me all of this time to come to terms with it.
Oh piker. (HUGS)
he just sent me a note to tell me that he was singing in MN. I was like....no thanks!
*thanks for the hugs, Jacula.
At any rate, am learning to live for myself. That is a new one
...and, not to depress you all, but, just wanted to say that am doing pretty well at it..
good to hear piker
rosal
good golly. i... really suck at this! i usually kick ass at word games, but not when it's EVERY DIRECTION EVER. i'll probably do better without the timer staring me in the face saying "30 MINS LEFT ZOMG"
piker - I did that for a decade or me... so diffu=icult to let a chap do anything for you after that; you've become so independent...
curious - you have 24 hours to solve it :)
that's the problem - this puzzle ends in 28 minutes. :( i'm all stressed out, because i just got here 20 minutes ago!
the older we get the wiser we are, believe in your own power.
EXACTLY~ and am so glad that I am in that place now. Feel less feminine, but Oh Man! The trade off is so much better!
i -hate- timers! when i was little i always freaked and hit reset right before sonic would die from drowning on my genesis XD
take a breath and you will be fine
LIES
I did my first puzzle last night and got here 20 minutes before it ended
LIES AND DAMN LIES
I am very independent, I used to put up with alot but not anymore.
YAY!
dammit, i keep wanting to try salad in the bottom right. :|
we are still feminine but more woman.
netto, too....bugs me
OY, piker! You can just quit with that less feminine thing RIGHT NOW! I've been there far before you and so can feel totally justified in telling you that that is total crap. Okay?
curious, let THIS particular grid go. It's a tough one; and in 20+ minutes there will be a new grid that you can work on for 24 hours.
and sterno...why is that not accepted? HM?
Okay, Jacula! Ha ha! That was good. No, I am learning that...that it is really important to try and put oneself first. That has been such a tough lesson for me....
because it is a brand name
oh! I thought that it was a heat source for those banquet tables...
the brand is called sterno
A lesson that must eventually be learned thoughj, Piker. Take heart! xxx
thank you, Jacula. will pay heed
I have a question for you piker. WHY is an unattached female less feminine? My hubby has M.S. and I have to do a lot of stuff around the house. *I* don't think I'm less feminine because of that!
I have MS too nef
--> is a girl ... Chel...
No....I am rethinking what feminine means; I now think it means strong; able; capable; better-than-men!
which raises a question....why do we have male looking avatars?? hmmm?
really? for how long and how severe? Dh has had it for20 years now. Thanks to modern chemistry, he's still doing okay! :D
I was diagnosed 5 years ago but I have lupus too so they fight against each other
but I do very well and still hike and do what I want - I push things a lot
lol demmie I know they should at least give us female looking avatars
(okay does not mean terrific, however) 30 pills a day and weekly injections help
that is wonderful that you keep pushing through...
talk about feeling feminine lol
if you let it get to you it will fail you - psychosomatic works wonders
lupus and MS are quite the pair of screwed up immune system diseases!
and Nef, your husband is very fortunate having your help. that is wonderful of you.
lol yes they are nef - two of the hardest to beat
went to a special school when I was a kid, and many of my friends and school mates were living with M.S.
piker, I'm sure he thinks I'm a pain in the backside sometimes! :) We entered into our marriage with the intention it would only end with one of us dying first; and neither of us is a quitter! ;)
my son is wonderful and helps me when my symptoms excaserbate
te7/32?
my ex has MS too - secondary progressive -
that is a great attitude! You know, the older I get, the more I am convinced that Attitude is EVERYTHING!
te7 - hot liquid + place to drink it
also te8 (plural)
are you on any interferons?
attitude is everything - if you look down on things you will manifest that behavior
it is everything. I know this for a fact.
ty mth
np helen
14
nope I won't take the interferons - I used to be a nurse and with the lupus I need to watch what the meds do to my other organs
anyone need any clues?
the interferons cause problems with the liver
no such thing as "used to be a nurse". once a nurse, always a nurse :)
I agree! Since having lost my voice 4 years ago, and it is only NOW coming back....I am convinced that this is happening because of my attitude shift, and lots of praying, and Angel invoking, believing, etc.
I AM a nurse and I don't know what it would do to the lupus; but it has been a miracle for DH's M.S.
ADHD, yes..I need a few clues, please/
any hints for words that start with "o", the "o" that only has 2 words!
yes the ex takes them - it helps
what is up with the nostrils? Don't get it..
and I totally agree that once a nurse, always a nurse! ADHD
i didn't mean to sound nasty nef...sorry if i did
this is true adhd
now I am a database programmer
te7/32 & plural 8/45 - places I wish they;d had in Amsterdam where we could have indulged in PG Tips with proper milk.
did you get the nostril one piker?
Murder on the Or**** Express (and plural)
i haven't gotten the nostril one either... any hints?
7
the water animal ot5 and plural for the 6
na6/18 rhymes with a seaworthy word
am7?
thank you, ADHD....thanks! can't believe I didn't see that
GO HK GO RAH RAH RAH *shakes the pom poms* GO GO GO
what are these fractions you guys are using? coordinates of letters?
np piker. it happens to the best of us lol
ADHD, I understood you completely! The only person I would call a "former" nurse is one who went to medical school and has been bad-mouthing nurses ever since! THAT particular person (I do mean ONE person here) has been the AMA's mouthpiece for putting down nurses for the past year or 2

am7?

ty adhd!
you're kidding nef.. someone here? i've been here since mid January and no clue who you r talking about
wait wait... what? am7?
Truly, I nearly did cry when presented with a glass of hot water, a teabag on unknown origin, 2 sticks of sugar (I don't take sugar) and, eventually, after we asked twice for it, a jug of some kind of UHT milk. NOT PROPER TEA! Thanks, yet again, to to our frieds in 'Dam for saving us and providing a real cupppa.
arg! O words!
ra6/21? (the first)
sent you an email, jac
curious and mth, check out lickety's babble clues (BELOW THE GRID) after the flip (the board will load faster then). And don't forget to check out the help box right above the chat TOO.
Oay jilli, will look.
hmm still didn't get am7
the "fractions show the first two letters of the word, the number of letters in it, and the score. See Angelsongs link below in Frinds of Babble
ra6/21 walked fast + Mr. Quayle

I still need am7
YIPPEEEEEEE FOR HK!!! WTG GIRLFRIEND!!! WOO FOR YOO!!
Red Hat day is the next icon theme
Hi all, ADHD red hat day is this next grid
hmmm
I think I did pretty good 128 words up 30 from yesterday!
am7 word for love am** + opposite of out + O
hi flosey
I love the red hat ladies
lol adhd ! i so love your enthusiasm!
oh gee. that lickety thing's a bit intimidating.
ADHD, the person I'm talking about is NOT someone here at Babble (that I know of, anyway); it is one of the AMA's puppets that they are putting forth to show that the AMA should be in charge of all things in health care. Sorry, but docs don't know anything about NURSING!!!
well done, demmie! I just got halfway -- not time for babbling today
tx HK :) I was born with it! it keeps me going. congrats Demmie. you're doing great!!
another busy day jilli?
well I worked all day just started this around 7 or so
you couldn't be more right nef...
yeah not bad for 4 days trying this out.
then this is for you
hey jilli - hubby says your icon looks just like you, lol
well I think I am stopping with 158 left so that I can keep my brain going for the next 3 hour grid
Wow. 39 words in about as many minutes. A word a minute! Not bad I guess...?
YAY FOR DEMMIE!!! GREAT JOB!! STAND AND TAKE A BOW!!
jilli - got the mail and thanks.xxx
yep, flosey -- all sorts of financial errands like renewing insurance, income tax, renewing Symantec which took all morning, boring boring boring
awww ty ADHD
ah yes, boring but necessary
jac -- grandson Depp? (sorta?)
drum roll for next grid....
THAT'S GREAT CURIOUS!!!
i was just watching on oprah the pictures of the kids from virginia tech who were killed - they had such young smiling faces - so awfully sad
so is there a place where they actually give you the finished word list after that puzzle?
