Just a rotten ending to a rotten day
stid, I got onto the grandson of the dr who invented phage!! I just talked to him!!! very very excited :)))
hi Jellen!
16 q words . . .
hi, stid!
oh very wonderful mrp! stidkid is hoping to meet him if he comes to Evergreen this year (rumor is he might)
qu7
yup, its a biggee
well Jilli, after all the problems, a very attractive gate
what are you guys talking about??? what is phage?
qu7
would be so cool if you could save the bone...
eq7
yes, I will find out... he is calling me back this afternoon to talk to me
ha7
"invented" phage? Don't you mean "discovered" phage? I learned about it in bacteriology classes in 1946
yes jilli, discovered
yes, discovered Jill.. :-) you scientist-types are so PICKY about words! LOL
invented, discovered..what is it??? lol
{{{{{mrp}}}}} hope hope hope!
Hello there!
cr7
hi chic! (hugs)
ooooh a 10!
tr7
bacteriophage are viruses that specifically use bacteria to reproduce. In the process, they destroy the bacteria. VERY useful critters!
qu7
I will send the link now http://www.manlydaily.com.au/arti cle/2007/06/06/4865_news_feature.html
bacteriophage is a sort of virussy thing which attacks and kills other bacteria and virussy things
our family has been involved as sideline or directly in minor ways with phage study since before our elder kid was born.
Hi Mrp! {{{{hugs}}}}
Hi everyone -- giving this 25 minutes as I have a 7:30 tee time tomorrow.
hhmmm..interesting
li8X2
hey nan....
highlight of stidmatt's spring was getting to work in the phage lab for three days on his spring break!
tr7
hi nan! that's early (and almost a wurd)
re8
li7,8
our local lab works on pseudomonas and E coli... different critters than mrp's arm
okay, to the grid! *splash*
li7 x 2
the thing is, I don't understand why it has taken so long to capitalise on the knowledge about bacteriophage which I was taught about over 60 years ago and which is only now becoming a matter of interest
He suggested I go to Mexico for the treatment... it is the closest place for me and the facility is better than Georgia
eq 7
It has been used all this time, developed and progressed in the former Soviet Union, Jill. Mainly in our friend's "home turf" the Eliava Institute in Tbilisi Georgia
ar 8 if it hasn't been called
aq8
anyone getting connection error message?
oo what part of Mexico, mrp?
qu7
YES! the hospital our friends work at have a branch in Mexico... (I would even drive down to see you if you go there)
no, mo mof3
It's better because they have power 24 hours a day in Mexico.... the electric and other power supply in Georgia is really iffy these days.
I am not sure chic... will go look, did you read the article I posted?
and stiddy,if you drive to Mexico, you can make a stop at my house
yes stid, they said France of Mexico was definitely the best places

This is great, MrP!
oh, mrp, that is super! does this mean you can actually take a bath if you want? (I love baths...)
hi, all!
oh good, mrp! How;s the pain?
that's great mrp!
hi sprite
yes, shower, bath..... no more of these sponge downs in the middle of winter!
dear stid! Am glad for you, enjoy it :D Got my pain medication tripled yesterday, and the doc's permission to even double that if necessary. We will see if that helps. Had a helluva night though, so right now I am pretty down. Sleep seems to be important ;) Thanks for asking :)
okay, that's one less fish for me, found the imperial word!
pain is managed by drugs :D brb, number one son needs me
oh sprite, will send you comfort and peace thoughts... *vibes heading to the Netherlands*
thanks stid :) Faster than light, the vibes are here already!
(((sprite)))
hahaha, and thanks for the imperial clue... found the word without even looking at the grid ;)
*vibe power!*
ar 8
thanks dear gang... coming here is enough to bring back a smile on my face
my day was a downer -- just heard my late "twin" cousin's dear hubby and good friend of mine had a stroke in h is right brain AND an MRI found a melanoma metastasis there.
see, I wasn't going to log on again today... and I just knew I was supposed to! {{{{{{Jill}}}}}}
hi, mrp, just scanned the chat to spare you repeating yourself - glad to here the line is out.
awwww jilli! *hugs* That is really bad news :(
how bad is the stroke Jill?
sprite, how're you doing?
I'm so sorry, jilli.

{{{jilli}}}
hi melon!
cr7x2
cr7x3 actually
his speech is impaired but his daughter says he can understand what's said to him -- he must be SO frustrated!
sorry jill
hey melon! Not too good today, but got my pain med tripled, hope that today will be better :)
he will recover speech jill... therapy is so much better these days than even ten years ago!
{{{{sprite}}}} love ya darling! get better soon
and sorry Sprite to hear you're in that much pain, will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
maybe this is a blessing in diguise. perhaps finding the cancer sooner will improve his odds.
de8---->de9
jilli, I am so sorry! Hope the cancer is treatable.
3 cheeres for adequate pain meds!
jilli, how sad!
thanks dear all, for the support and the hugs *hugs*
thanks, stid -- apparently he is improving already. He goes home tomorrow and his daughter will stay there until the caregivers are settled in. He lives near Wilmington NC and daughter and her family in Winston-Salem. Her hubby is an MD
Good. Knowing the medical stuff behind it is so important. Was hard to convince my mother and her siblings to be comfortable asking questions after Granny's stroke.
phantom - carrot
ae7
good night all -- 200 for tomorrow :)
sprite, melanoma is a menace, and if it has reached the brain --- well...
and no, clit is still not valid
thanks for that one muse
bye, nan
rofl... I tried it too! what does that say about us, sprite?
later nan
that was what I was thinking jilli, hence my wish... it is a bad one. *hugs* for you and my best thoughts and wishes for your loved ones.
stid...that we are healthy, sexually active women? ;)
I've tried clit before too -- but twat etc is ok? Go figure
exactly jilli - enable so needs education!
I'll go with that one, sprite... *blush*
cr7 x 3
jilli, so sorry to hear about your cousin's hubby
sprite: if I may ask and you do not have to answer but what are they using for pain meds now I have had 3 total knee replacements and need another due to car accident and have other ongoing probs. and pain is a constant problem but too long on percocet and oxycontin always looking for new info
I'm making 2 lists of words -- one lot which is not in the a2z or morewords lists but is accepted here, and one which has words in those lists which are NOT accepted here.
they have me on oxycontin now, speedfreak. It used to be tramadol, but that cannot be combined with the antidep.
qu 7
woot jilli, quite an undertaking ;)
eq 7
whoa, did I pick the wrong day to start late. Hi everyone!
Sprite: I use tramadol and percocet but I also take prozac why is that not good with anti dep??
ha7
hi Hugs
ha8
hi, hugs!
ha7 x 2
hi hugs!
ty muse ..g1's
not sure about prozac, speedfreak. Some combinations of antidep and painkillers can cause serotonin syndrome, because they both influence the serotonine level in the brain.
off to bed - kid has an audition @ theatre camp tom'w - no car - so we have to get up early and use public transit. {poof}
okay, I have more than 100 words, and one from each tile. Will get to halfway tomorrow and then see how I feel about finishing... *yawn* mrp and sprite, hope you both continue to heal.
late flip!
go melon's kid go!
bye melon *hugs*

I've been lurking and enjoying the nice big grid.
Can i ask Dr God that the C words are a tad over worked and need a break?
how did you cope in the storm a couple of days ago mr p?
love a big grid! :) hate C words
the storm was a fizzer for us! it went out to sea and came back at Newcastle... so we missed it :) good thing.... I just found out something so much fun!!
A's should just be wiped out and forgotten!!!
I got 92 at work sans stats and you lot

our 'tree' out the back of the house has to be heli-craned out of the yard... everyone is very excited! there will be a great gathering on the street for that!
wow heli - cranned impressive, most get pics of that Mr pres thats got to be one big tree
and to top it off, there is not one, but two trees! :)) big buggers too!
I am taking video and putting it on the fireworks congrats vid... you guys will love it!!
Make sure they pay entry money to see the excitement.
thank god they never landed on any of the houses
It is going to cost the insurance company a fortune! and to make it even funner, they paid ME $100 for the pleasure of this storm!
yahoo! got the q's!
Thank goodness Mr Pres you had insurance or you would have been royally screwed
well done rmcc
totally infern, and I got the right company... they are the only one in Australia NSW that pay for removal of uprooted trees.

SIXTEEN Q's!!!

Yep i do that and i want Maccas apple pie and choc sundea
heypink how much is it for a pack of cigarettes where u are?
thanks, pink . . . and latin plural
we pay a tenner for a pack of 25 cigs
wow, I didn't even look to see how many there were. 339 is the most I've ever seen.
holy shucks it is 5.80 in vermont
it ranges fron £4.44p to almost £6 for a box of 20 it depends on the brand.
wow
Yep smokers are evil and should stop, From July 1st you wont be able to smoke in pubs which sucks
here in canada..is baout 8 or 9.00 a pack ( not a smoker )
wow thats crazy!
in america or aussie do you have the smoking ban?
you cant here anyways
its called taxes
Australia
in canada we do too
in the US some cities have it, but it's not national
In Victoria anyway.
yes
yes we have a smoking ban here in the us
gee..only 277 words to go
mostly in restaurants
everywhere here in vermont even pubs
its almost here for us in England, from the first of July. I hope this ban will help me to stop once and for all.
bars
good morning ... just passing through ... the state of Ohio has a statewide smoking ban
hi mom
ha8/45 - a disease suffered by milliners.
Resturants yes as thats very fair smoking and eating is gross but i want my smoke in a pub dang it :)
How will a smoking BAN make you stop smoking?
Yes, carlee, I feel like I am zipping along, but I need 282 more.
no smoking in bars here either
Hi mom
hi all. 1/3 of the way through the grid in 20 minutes.
Hi Mom
it just tightens yur chances to smoke
Hi Scrabbler
perfect haz lol
typo this am
thanks Haz
Raaven, it will not stop you from smoking, just from smoking in public places
in pubs, restaurants, work places, train stations, etc Some firms are even banning fag breaks for there employees
It's very prevalent among Ascot suppliers this week.
Angel just squashed my Babble Self-Esteem Rating
squish
I know what the ban will do, I am just concenred that people will use that as a reason to stop smoking. You either want to stop or you don't and a ban won't MAKE you stop. you choose to stop
And she squished it too, Lickety!
plop
splat
plonk
NARF
it may encourage people to cut down though and thats a start
Cutting down is not stopping now isn't it?
bar business has picked up in here in Kentucky since the ban went into effect in Ohio
I like the odd smoke with my drink
in Northern Kentucky, I should say
holy hannah..how many ha's are there
I have 15 so far Carlee
no it isn't, but if i cant smoke waiting for a bus or just out and about, then i'll be forced to cut down eventually
I have 8 so far Carlee.
I haven't looked at the list yet, carlee. With a big grid that would just make me consider giving up
hi mom
oh Herin, I am so jealous.

Goldies - just go for the smaller words first
ok
good morning friends ..
Goldies, why don't you actually try playing the game?
hey callan
Goldie do you know what Rum is called?
Hi Callan and Zenmed
like you have li**** stores where you buy alcohol
Hi lynxxx
they have party stores in USA..not li stores
IS there a limit on clues and what we can say know? I for one am over being told how many clues i can ask and what i can say
are you commenting on what I said to Goldies Infernal?
carlee they are li**** stores here as well
who is telling u can't ask for clues herin?...sorry just coming up for air here
never heard them called party stores
im sorry i went to moewords staying out of chat
well, I've seen li**** stores around :P
They call them party stores where I live, but it's a regional thing
(Michigan)
ok...in michigan they are DEFINITELY called party stores
whats moewords
goldies... its ok...
a website...
morewords ;)
goldies, don't be sorry, if you want a clue ask for it. If people don't want to give it, they won't.
morewords callan..its in resources
i mean *morewords*
they are called Class 6's here
morewords.com callan
oh lol
great thanks
im going back...
Goldies thesaruas alchol
hey..goldies... camp is starting soon isn't it?
where is it?
No lynxx not at you.
http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/main.html type in first two letters and it will give you lists of words .. neat site
second ra6/18,pls?
I wasn't being nasty to Goldies when I suggested he go for the smaller words first ... he is only 10 ... and with some 200 4/5 letters words to find he will get a lot more satisfaction rather than attempting to understand more 'adult' clues
i like Amo's crossword dictionary myself
I am going to general coment - over the course of the week i have been told not to clutter the chat with inane chatter and i have also been told not to ask so many clues in the past.
really
God no lynxx that wasnt at you. I started by getting the little words then the irritating big ones
WHAT?... i have never seen that...
someone gave me a hard time about asking for clues 2 days ago. I say if you don't want to clue, just don't. But I thank the great people that do because they help me a great deal when I get towards the end of the grid.
I think everyone should just bear in mind that they shouldn't flood the chat / annoy others. Just all be nice!
How interesting that you use the word irritating herein
if people don't want the clues, they can turn the chat box off so they don't see them
I just thought that the chatter box was exactly that, general chat and welcomes but lately its just been bitch bitch bitch. NO I am not pointing fingers and stuff
well..on that happy note...gone to get ready for my day... bills to pay ( yack) and will apply for that full time job I mentioned earlier even though I have a very sick feelign about doing so
ra6/16 a pattern of scanning lines covering the area upon which the image is projected in the cathode-ray tube of a television set.
I dont point fingers i dont like them bitten off.
rmcc - a person who samples food is a ta**** - the ra6.18 is built the same
i have no problem with people asking for clues. i have a problem with people asking for numerous clues for every single word...after a while, you just have to try to play the game with the resources given, or else realize that maybe the game is too hard for you.
Hey carlee did you organise that communication thingiee
( I have a hard time clueing when am buried in the grid..but once I am done..i rathe rlike clueing...makes me bend my brain )
well i'll be!!! thanx lynxxx
SOrry Rmc i didnt clue as i didnt have it, Thanks lynxx i got that
wow Spellit - I just monkey them - you know them!
communiation thingie?
Art for Guides
I only have a problem with ppl asking for so many clues that they take over the general flow of the chat and spoil things for others
Electronics was my field that's all
any li clues
limping along veeerry slowly here.
ahhhhh...that..yea..i bought a canvas for painting... and some "hot paint colours" ... she's going to fling paints when she is REALLY ticked with her brother
I love it Carlee thats great
Fireworks for me so off for a kip after a wonderful roast lunch..
which WILL happen at some point in the summer
Precisely, Ata
<POMPOM TWIRL> for spellit
going to play with new puppy than maybe, going to espn Zone
bye
your brother in law has given you the green light carlee, you probably feel like your betraying him, but you have a family to take care of and the extra money you earn from being full time will benefit your family, Stop feeling guilty Carlee
oooo flinging paint! fun!
say hi to the pup, goldies :)
For the li's think aboui
congrats spellit
ok..dressed..bills.. and apply for the job ( gulp ) makes me feel really sick to do so
if we are complaining about a 10 year old asking us for help, there is something wrong with us. We shoul be encouraging him to keep with it. Lynxxx was doing just that by suggesting that he keep looking for the smaller words and then he can build from those. I say Goldies, if you need help ask us. There are much worse things that a 10 year old could be doing.
Goldies how is the puppy
cu goldies...
Try again! For the li's think about the qu...
pablo, not being offensive, but a lot of us have a different opinion having been in the chat a lot longer than you and seen how such things can disrupt the game
woohoo, out of the dreaded re's!
bye goldies have fun with the new pup!!!
WooHoo - finished. that was a hard one for such a big grid

hi all. al 7/32 and 8/45 please
its a name in mythology magz
magzel, I have it, but it's difficult to clue. al, three letters of what a milliner makes, letters rearranged in reverse alphabetical order, finish with two vowels at the beginning of what you use to hear with.
First name Karr last name Seet No im not kidding
al8/45 is the plural (normal, not latin, lest you think the vowels have taken over completely)
awesome clue haz!!
I'm glad it worked!
Thanks Haz & Nanette.:)
Oh, and good afternoon to you all.
Anyway, I have to go. I'm helping a friend clear out a hoarding aunt's house. I'll keep my eyes open for priceless antiques..... See you later. Hello Jacula!... and bye for now.
thanks haz, got it, good clue
'Bye, Haz. Happy hunting!
take care Haz
aq 7 and 8 please
Think fish tank, magzel.
test ed
oops sorry
aq7/40 - fish tanks. aq8/55 - like fish tanks.
aq7 latin plural of where fish live in your house
finally, I am past halfway mark!
Whoever said the c words were easy was right.
thanks all, got them
working thru them now merk, they are not too bad
herin you there
kinda
i got engrossed in a soaps magazine im back to the grid now
i am half aslep
which soaps do you watrch pink
haz, are you still here? I have a dog question . . .
Une - Haz has gone to help a friend clear 'a hoarding aunt's' house out.
hollyoaks, eastenders, holby city, home and away, corrie and emmerdale im not fans of but i know whats happening in them
Shelby has been licking her paw incessantly since yesterday . . . between the toes . . . there's no injury . . . what do you think it could be?
get some sleep herin speak to you later!!!!
jac, thanks--now i remember reading that earlier
Une what is shelby? species wise?
Une - she might have a grass seed stuck in the skin between her toes.
rescue dog . . . "terrier mix"
Hot spot or a thorn / stone maybe?
can't see anything at all that might be causing it
Ok dog could have walked on something thats irritated it like a plant, something could be in there or it could be having anxiety about something - fireworks or something thats freaked it out
paw isn't swollen . .
Does it bother her when you press on her paw?
Une - Have you been walking her where chemicals might have been sprayed?
no reaction when I press on paw
chemicals . . . hmmmm . .. well, we just walk in the neighborhood but I guess someone could have sprayed . . .
Hmmph. Most likely just a doggy compulsion. Does she seem okay otherwise? Playful? Eating, drinking?
Good luck une im going to bed
di 7 clue please, either one
night herin
OK otherwise and she IS compulsive but she's holding it up some
Goodnight, Herin.
Une - I should see the vet if she's still the same tomorrow.
di + as flower
give terrer a bath, especially on feet, in case of chemical exposure, keep eye on her to make sure if there were chemicals, they didn't make her sick
will do . . .
ca6,30 please
goldies, roman emperor
If you use swiffer on your floors, make sure it's not the kind that has cleaner spray on the swiffer because that is toxic to animals
thanks, all . . . BBL
bartamy, I don't use anything like that in the house . . .
not getting it sorry
bye Une
She may have just bruised it , Une. Or, she pulled a muscle and it's makinig her paw feel funny.
Jules Ca****
ca salad
ty for the di 7; can anyone clue the other one please?
LOL, sorry, in French it's Jules . . . I meant Julius!
thanks, judi . . .
still nothing im so sorry
diesel is my phantom today, probably since I am stuck on the di 7
i look on google
Uneaixoise: My dog was doing the same exact thing last week took her to the vets and her nail was split down the inside very hard to detect she said it would heal on its own
BTW the Swiffer stuff being toxic isn't true... http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusade r/swiffer.asp
Other di7 is the same format but different central vowel. di + woman's name.
di + es5/10
in any case, i'm really careful about chemicals . . . my other dog is mostly beagle and will try to eat/drink/lick ANYTHING
thanks, speedfreak
ty, never knew that was a woman's name.
later, dudes and dudettes . . . happy babbling
'Bye, Une.
Bye, Une. Good luck with the pooch.
good morning all
hi flosey
Hello, flosey.

hi flosey
une, when ever i use a translator for julius french to english it dosent work
aweeee pink just noticed your icon... tweety is such a lovable character
its says julius again
any clues please for either of the al7's?
Goldies, great ca6/21's ghost
back for a few more words
casper?
Flask, I do not have either of them. Sorry
goldies julius Ca6/21 was killed by his friends on the ides of March
we can start there Goldies if you want. But that is not it.
al+third vowel+2 letter \square+fourth vowel+letter after s
ok mom
ok Mom
Ha ha. That's the first thing I thought of, goldies. Casper. Dead Roman emperor or type of salad. Whichever you prefer.
put a vowel after the "a" take out the "p" and change the "e"
Nono used a woooooorrrrrd.
al+**e basketball made a **ump noise on the ground (only one)+2 vowel (first and second) first vowel again
and I am glad she did. That greyed my lower "i" box
ooops so i did Judi and one i didnt have LOL
"Et tu, Brute?" Thus concludes all of the Shakespeare I remember.
i haven't greyed a signle letter other then the lower left e ..hehehe
this is ca6,30 right?
Carlee, I have lower right e and now the i
no Goldies, CA 6/21
o i eed ca6,30
ca6/ 30 is an alternate spelling of a tasty baked treat

I've always wondered what would happen if the puzzle contained one of the few words that has a q not followed by a u - qatar or qaid for example - has anyone ever seen this happen? Will the game take the word?
kitty -- the tile can only be used as QU so a u-less q word isnt possible in the grid
Thanks!

'Bye, goldies!!
Why am I having such a hard time finding la 6/18? Can someone help me?
Good morning, inge. Not there, yet!
I have been working on this since early this morning, off and on, went to Y swimming, which didnt help much
found it! Diving back under
Good for inge!! *towels and scuba gear to mermaid*
2 days into my vacation I realized you addicted I was to babble; I sign on today and find 339!!!
Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland maze of madness, mcurl... LOL
I was without a computer for 7 days
That is too horrible to contemplate, mc... how did you survive that?
not to hard, hung around with my son who is preparing to deploy
Where is he being sent, mc? Afghanistan or Iraq?
Afghanistan
Tough being a parent, isn't it? It's harder on the moms and dads, than those who are going overseas...
Which branch of the services is he?
Air Force; Aerial Gunner on the plane in my icon. he's my baby; and it's his first time over so I think he's pretty apprehensive
hi again sprite -- and all!
The Air Force training is par excellence, mc... it would not be human to not be apprehensive... How are you doing with that situation, though?
Fly high and carry a big gun. That's a good way to stay safe in Afghanistan, I'd say!
wow mccurl -- first deployment...
Hi, stid
Phantom of the day: daquiri
Yep that's what he says. I'm doing OK. My faith will keep me going. My son-in-law is currently in Baghdad region.
Feh, Movieman. I'm still missing 6 Qu's and I have no idea where they're at.
Can I get a clue for the last ha8?
clue please for cr5/14?
c+re4 flask
Mcurl... without faith, I would have folded under long ago...
You can say that again.

How are you today, Nono?
Thanks Stid
good but slowing down big time on this grid
Ohmigosh... it IS afternoon... 12:04 p.m., and this day started at 4:30... flown by already!! This grid is downright fun... but harder than most larger grids...
Hi, everyone
hello again babblers
it is more dificult i've been at it since 6 this am
Hi, Jellen!! How be thee?
hi jellen
Hi there, pinkhatlil!!
hello Scarlett

Wow, Nono... then, if you're having trouble, it's harder than I realized! We, however, are an intrepid breed of Babblers!!
I be frustrated with myself or the grid. Can't decide.
anyone need clues
Could you start me out with ai4/5?
So, my review of FF2: Action scenes: bloody excellent CGI: Pretty good Overall a pretty good movie, although I had one gripe with it........*SPOILER ALERT*.........they had Galactus get destroyed.......and he's supposed to be this indestructable entity, the most powerful force in the universe.......oh well.......
Food. Noon. Hmmmm... beloved must be hungry by now... pinkhat, I am going to slough through the last 153 when I return from lunch, but hang in there for the whammies... LOL, and thank you!
ac5/12 anyone?
you may have a first *** box + plural ending
Movieman, forgive my ignorance, but what is FF2?
a + auto + 3rd vowel
which ac5 there are 2?
Fantastic Four 2, Scarlet
the 1st 1 got it ty jellen
ac = measurement of distance
any qu clues
Ah!! I saw the first one, and this is the Silver Surfer influx, no? I thought the first one was just a tad ragged, but the premise was laid...
ty pink. Kept looking at the wrong ai!
Yep, the Surver is in it Scarlet, and pretty good he looked too!!!!!!
*Surfer
could use clues to the al`s only got the 4/4`s-anymore out there?
I shall have a "movie day" very soon, mm... and that will be on my list to see. I take a day, every three months or so... and just go watch movies... three or four of 'em... eat popcorn and eat very bad food... It's wonderful!!
used to dip qu5/16 these in ink to write
al7/40 a+ alcohol--change last letter to cross
ty go it
Yep, I agree Scarlet, my next visit will be to see Shrek the Third AND Die Hard 4.0
the line that divides the world into 2 hemisphere - the e
The Bruce Willis saga is a "must see"... just to observe how an aging antihero deals with the bad guys... LOL
...greenbay add the e to the end of that word
Then it will be Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, then Transformers and The Simpsons Movie......
ai6/18 clue, please?
qu5/16 insulting word to describe gay men, pluralise to get qu6/27
what we breath + common ending
The Harry Potters have been much better than I had anticipated... Is Peter Jackson working on anything amazing, lately, MM? I was absolutely staggered by his "Ring" trilogy...
If you mean the qu5 odd word pinkhat, it isn't there
ty, pink!
what are talking about MM? *scratches head
yw jellen glad to help
pink, why are you putting up a string of erroneous clues ?
Peter Jackson's next project will be an adaptation of the Alice Sebold novel, "The Lovely Bones", Scarlet
ca6/30 clue, please?
ty jellen took a bit but got it
"Queer" isn't in the grid, pinkhat
good deal, majmom
Oh, wow!! Must! Must! Thank you, Movieman... I will go make lunch now. Thank you for your information! :-)
what does erroneous mean
yw Scarlet
SORRRYYYY My bad!!! just realised what i'd done
Lovely Bones will make a good movie, I think. Liked the novel.

Clue for ta 7,32 please.
*bangs head on table*
Don't hurt yourself, pink!!

yw -- that's a fun one :o)
its the se8 he wants MM

se8 is PT of the se7/28, Take the 2nd se6/18 drop the last letter and make it end like someone has consumed something, then PT for the 8 ... if that makes ANY sense!!!
They got it FMitch
What can I say, my log is lagging.
You're not with it today, are you pinkhat?

thanks again.
Who's throwing tantrums/
No I didn't, wurdy.....
He Haz!! afternoon. Me probably before too long :)
hi, Haz.
just wondering...
Hello again. Dinner is cooking, ironing still isn't done...
Ah - just checking. Just back from the clearing of the house, now to clear up the grid, I hope!
Haz - did you find any priceless antiques?
Jacula, greetings.
hi, Jacula
Greetings to you, too, FMitch.
Not a one - well, some little Wedgwood things but nothing spectacular.
oh. my. gosh. I'm 167 words in and I *just* got the green/blue color and it's just right there in a row left to right! *slaps self with fish*
Hi Haz - love a bit of alliteration!
Hello, Jellen. How's the book going?
Quantities of buttons. She has/had a thing about buttons and plastic bags.
Jellen, was thinking about you, did everything go as well as it could with the signing?
Hello Zen - nice day isn't it?
Finished it. Glad I read it--it was good for a first novel.
hi everyone
FMitch, it was such a non-event--just me and the secretary. Felt a bit rocky after that, though.
Jellen... pardon my butting in... but what novel? I need a new book to read.
hi, peri
hi peri!
Yep, getting warm again
The Kite Runner
Hi, peri.
cool. thanks.
Yea Jellen you expect it to be this big event ... and then nothing except a big door opening right in front of you :)
Jellen, I just finished that. So glad my friend made me read it!
need help on de8/45 please?
Actually, I went to Vacation Bible School--nothing like doing crafts with 50 kids to distract you!
In fact Haz, I like a lotta alliteration
I'll bear it in mind.
VBS. oy!
Wow, great fun and a definite distraction!
de8/45 kind of takes the wind from your sails.
It was fun. We made whirligigs (sp?)
ty Haz -- on my way to (hope) find it
Think of the spiking lawn thing.
Fireworks!
yay, Merk!!
YAY for Merk
yay Merk!
Ty all for help with clues when my brain fogged up!
ca6/24 clue?
first
congrats Merk!!!! Hi all, here to Babble for a bit..
Which one?
ca6/24 on its way to being heart related
hi, Aloy
Interesting grid, Aloy.
ty, Haz
You're welcome.
Or it's when your Tom Ca* went out and about last night.
ts5,12?
looks interesting, Merk.. lots of vowels and an est combo.. h'mm..
ts5,12, the second one?
The two ts 5 are alike, only the ending letter changes. Both are t + s 4
A variety of suffixes for sure, Aloy.
And the qu are all easy and there are several inside of the words.
ts plus the Shakespeare play Much *** about nothing, final vowel changed
bbl
Gotta go ... see you tomorrow
<poof>
moats

hi all :)
ha7/36 - the bean preferred bythe French.

Hello Atalante!
Crap. I don't know beans about french beans.
it is french for bean in general....
Okay, try the Krishna forerunner (four letters) and a baby bed
I'm with your pigeon
BJ! hi!
hi, Ata
Hi Ata :)
Hi Ata

Spangle has been temporarily replaced by some flamingoes....
You're welcome.
My last 7 clue if you please. st7?
awwwww. replaced by a lump of candyfloss with a beak. poor babe
st7 - s plus a beverage, finish with the beginning of the lionheart king.
Only temporarily. She will return.
Thanks Haz. That did it for all my larger words. Now to get down to my last 15.
bet she'd love to chase those flamingoes away for you.........
You're welcome.
Oh goodness, she'd have a job. There were thousands of them!
if she wouldn't, hobbit would
de6/21 either?
de6/21 - where an oasis is a relief
de6/21 - the devil is in this. Or what some people do when docking dogs.

Glad to help, Jellen.
Not the whole day's so far.
ae6? The last one?
hey all..did anyone have any problems with the site about 10:30 babble time?
there was something interesting *thinks* about midday? about clueing issues
Ata - Yes, I read those with interest.
Right. To clue or not to clue? Or when is a clue not a clue?
ae6 = type of antenna
yeah carlee it blipped about then
hi again......clue please for di7/32....the FIRST one...
and when to pout melodramatically about being allowed to ask for them :P
nertz. ty
Oops. I mean I re4/5 those.

what was the outcome re:clueing?
greatclue!
Thank you Atalante...
That was a good clue, Haz
the last ar 7/32 please
al7,32 please
al7/32 - al, then take the three letters of what milliners make and put them in reverse alphabetical order. Add the start of what you hear with.
ar7/32 - add the past tense ending to the ar5/10. It ends up sounding like a cockney version of being under pressure.
not a lot, as always, carlee!
Haz-- what do millner's make?
holy cow, Haz, that was a very nice clue for a difficult al word.. ty
They make what a mad person wore to a tea party with Alice.
You're welcome Aloy.
thanks, Haz
thanks haz
Glad to help.
at 5/10 please
how many words today?
339
339
at5/10 - latin plural for a courtyard
omg ahhh! lol
well...my opinion ( for whatever is worth ) is if u don't feel like clueing..don't bother... and I also notice that the "personality" of the chat definitely changes throughout the day...so... i try to stay within the bounds of the mood
pl chambers of the heart, means "rooms" in latin, magzel
key word being TRY
on that note..gone to bake cream puffs
mmmmm!
sounds good carlee
ttfn
have you ever made a cream puff cake? yummmmy
ca5/12 clue?
thanks haz
It's not a case of whether people feel like clueing, more that those who are looking for clues, especially any poor souls still on dial-up, have a nightmare of a time scrolling through the log to find them.
bye, carlee..
sorry ca5/14 (first)
yup, the chat not being utterly flooded with requests / "inaninity" :P
lol, Jacula.. I'm a poor soul on dialup now, and it definitely has an effect..
ca5/14 - follows the same structure as the Scottish lord (la5)
ty again, Haz
Aloy - I rest my case, then.:)
You're welcome.
FIREWORKS!! !
In fact, I will be logging off shortly to work offline so that I don't tie up the phone line all day.. :-(
Just a few left, but going to get ready to go out. Back later! (jumping on my broomstick, as befits the wicked witch)
Yay, Nono!!!
*giggles* go and stir your cauldron :)
have a good flight, Haz! (-:
woohoo nanette!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Wicked Witch of Ballymena is leaving the room! The Wicked Witch of Worcestershire will be leaving to eat dinner very shortly.*grins*
congrats to Nono!!!!
Well done, Nono.
omg! you have the olive and tail as a pic!

You know it's nice when clues and requests are identified with dr 5/12, etc.
ty all and thanks for the great clues along the way
Ata - That's not an olive!
hi, rolin
Hello, rolin.
looool I know. the first time I saw it though, I was convinced it was

hi Rolin
exactly :) my initial impression was olive with a tail, and I can't think of it as anything else now LOL
thats a great pic jac
Sorry 'bout this....but I dipped out to go and look at chat about cluing and missed the clue I hope somebody gave me for di7/32 FIRST one....could I ask for it again please?

rolin - It's a great statue. One of many intriguing statues to be found in Iceland.
I mean sculpture.
di + fall flower to nearly avoid a catastrophe
hmm..sounds like another good reason to go
fall flower????
I didn't phrase it as elegantly as Haz
ci7 & plural 7 = first three letters of an urban conurbation + actress Maureen O'****.
as5/10, Flask
Meant plural 8. Sorry!
*yawn* yay sushi for lunch!
Hunger is getting to me! Time for a dinner break.
thanks jellen!
for what it's worth, i was much less tolerant of silly stuff and personal "conversations" in the chat log when on dial-up. having cable has made me much more patient! and personally i'd never finish a grid without all y'all's helpful clues. carry on!
you're welcom
thanks, jac!

LOL, kat.... not that I'm aware.... I headed for the hills during that little cheese and whine segment...
i'm baking cream puffs ( crossing fingers they work ....the puffs have a habit of turning into hockey pucks for me )
ra6,21?
hence...avoided the whine and cheese myself... ( i get enough "wine" at work )
ra6/21 snitched
good luck carlee, yum!
how far u get thus far red?... I still have over 180 to find...
Why, kat? They are so easy: 1 cup each, water, flour, one stick of butter, a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar... stir until it turns into glop, and beat in four eggs, one at a time...
sorry. I need the first ra6,21.
how much is a "stick"?
kat, I have 131, and this is not too bad... Ata, 1/4 of qa pound of butter
i don't know red..that EXACTLY what I do..every time and yet 50:50 chance pucks or puffs..maybe its the canadian hockey mania I live with?
*a*
ea4/4 2nd one........I just cannot see it all ....am sorry for asking for such a small one!
ty scarlet :)
Boil the water, add the salt, sugar and flour, take off the heat, stir until well mixed, and let cool a bit, then the eggs, beating well after each addition!!
1 stick = 1/2 cup/ or 1/4 a pound

sorry Jellen...its the 3rd one I need
what the recipe for Carlee?
cream puffs
Sorry, don't have that, Flask
mmm...yummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
It has to do with being patient at the right heat for nearly 50 minutes, kat... maybe the oven is "off" on correct readings? Nah, that can't be... not when someone cooks and bakes as much as you do.
Ata, add the 1/4 lb. of butter to the boiling water, too, until it melts.
ea4 consumes food
OMG...so it is!!
Thanks Uneai...:-)

Thank you for the ti5 clue, jakes-mum!! :-) Hi, ch1212!
Hi Scarlet! I've had my head down with 10 left to go... want to finish before my beloved comes home in a few minutes. Then we're headed to farmer's market for fresh produce :)
both the li 8's please
Isn't a farmer's market the best gift on the planet, ch?
no, a kitten is
Oh yes, and everything not only tastes better but lasts longer! Mag, both play off turning a solid into li***
LOL hurshy!
oops, did i say that out loud
hey hursh, what's your favourite colour?
I finished, hallelujah
depends on what i'm coloring...
CHEERS for inge!!!
i like red for my car and my phone. but i'm also fond of pale yellow and coral.
Speaking of our feline owners... my dear beastie was given a bath today by yours truly, and she's been strutting around like a peacock ever since! (I only have two minor scratch marks! LOL)
Yea for inge!!
why'd she need a bath? not ringworm i hope. that is a pain.
ty! and awwwww Scarlet :)
inge, clue for the first ra6/21 please and thanks?
what a grind, but at least I did not hit disintegration point
ra 6: related to relations between black and white, for ex.
or the ta8/45? I'm sure I have the first 4 letters of it ...
No.... never for my furry baby... she, in spite of daily brushings, had a build-up of dander along the base of her tail... not too bad, overall, but she hadn't had a bath in more than seven months... and now she gleams like a brass tiger....
ta8= most late
of course! Thanks, I thought it would use that third letter.
tas 8: the latest
past 200!
have that one, mm and inge... I'm sorry, I meant the first ta8/45
(ha 8, most able to withstand harsh weather)
li8's are both to do with water
some one who turns and runs, ch
thanks! My beloved husband just pulled in, so will have to return for my last 6. Happy hunting!
Later, ch1212!

*sigh* you're so lucky having pudding mixes. I wouldn't know how to translate that into English amounts!
got em Eva. Thanks!
make ur standard 2 cups of milk worth of vanilla pudding/ custard
YW bleu
2-3 cups custard for a trifle ata
we don't have cups or vanilla pudding mix :P
oh literally custard? I can manage that!
1/2 litre of custard?, 500 mL?
but make it chocolate
that makes sense TY :)
add 8 oz of cream cheese, 250 mL
and..hmmm...75 mL of espresso or STRONG coffee
yup, I can work out the rest. We have something similar to skor bars
i just did in lasagna pan for a crowd
and I'd have to substitute *thinks* hot chocolate or something for the coffee cos I'm allergic to coffee. But that would all work!
Thank youu for the li-clues, EvaN!!
li clues?..i missed li clues?.... scanning back
under 100 to go!
now that was NOT nice... was kicked out some time ago and couldn't come back! Hi all.
clues for first st5/12 please?
oh sprite, not nice at all, welcome back
Or, Ata, you can beat heavy cream with a touch of real vanilla and a whisper of sugar... beat to the consistency of "just before it turns to butter" and pipe it into your puffs, refrigerate, and decorate with melted chocolate (nuke in mircowave in a heavy-duty zip-lok bag, snip end, and then drizzle. over puffs).
sudoku site didn't work either, but other internet sites worked fine.
Gosh, sprite... sounds as though the gremlins are hard at work on your ISP
*feeds gremlins some bananas*
same thing happened to me sprite
weird, isn't it carlee?
yeap is..ok..diving in for a bit...

Hi, Takuma... it's more of a challenge than most large grids...
Hi Takuma, haven't seen you in a while
But really fun!

hiya flosey -- I've been playing, just not at regular times
I love your idea of cream puffs scarlet, that'd be my fav

It's more than I had a grasp of before you shared that...
portions for sampling
humpphh../im grumpy...
I'm Dopey, rolin... 7 Dwarves... LOL
aww rolin why?
think when there a viral pputbreak in news..and they show the lab ( or cso ) putting tiny samples in for dna testing...those aliquots
my partner just called..hes landed in luton..collected his bag..only to find someone has knicked his leather jacket out of the bag...
outbreak/ CSI sorry..typos
I can visualize that, kat. Thank you for opening the door to understanding
lol scarlet
diving back in...
That stinks rolin!!
yuck..thats horrible rolin..ok..NOW diving back in
yeah...what a bummer..so now we have to make a claim against ryanair...good luck with THAT one eh?
Can he file a claim with the airline...
So much for that, rolin. Can't you just yell at the black hearts of some people?
oh ick
thats the theory scarlett
Sure, and theoretically, some conscience-sticken individual will return it.... are pigs flying yet?
only if theyre flying with ryanair..
Ohhhhhh.... very good rolin.... Lolololol

can anyone give me some help with the qu words
Puffkattie... sounds like a new type of rapping, kat! LOL
it seems like there ought to be lots of comparatives (-er and -est), but I'm not finding any, hrm
sure greenbayladi what do you need
There are, Takuma... but not "lots" of them
that's good to hear -- the word blindness isn't *that* bad for me today ;)
Don't forget the iest ending too, Takuma
oh man red...that just conjured up a whole totally whacked vision...bellydancing/rapper...YACK

qu5 - imperial measurement = to 4 cups
Lololololllll... I am laughing really HARD, kat... to much to visualize!! You're welcome, Tak
*too much*
its just scary red... RUN RUN RUN FOR THE HILLS>..the rapping bellydancer is on the loose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there's the qu journey that knights go on
and the past tense
And she's puffy........arrrggghhhh
a qu word that is pronounced like choir
the qu word that is like spake
have a bee in the office - gotta get it out
that just....enough to make the cream puffs fall in fear
when you sew a bunch of different fabrics together it's a qu+++
My mind has gone 'round the bend on this one, kat... too much imagination... Rappinkattie,
a four sided equally object, minus the first letter
<snort> u bad red
a bird - usually has many babies
and when some thing equals something else it equ+++ it
*Puts out wrists for handcuffs*
flo, is that a qu clue?
yes
* passing red a cream puff and rolling eyes *
the bird like our us former vice president, but the bird is smarter?
and I caught the bee and released him outside
yes, that's it
that was nice of you flosey. and thanks
Thank you, kat... Cover yourself!! I can't eat creampuffs and look at navels...
* shoving another puff in reds mouth *
LOL, jbp!!
and also the little qu that is to stop doing something
need your help with a re 6/21. I have the relaxed one and the repeat one.
jbp, there's a shortage of bees this year, have to protect them
I'm laughing too hard to concentrate... must dive into the grid!! Kat... you're one in a million!
indeed. and "they" say it's b/c of cell phones
< am not sure if that is a compliment at this point...> thanks red... glad ur having a good day!

ugh
Ci-4/5, Takuma

ra 6/21, the first one please
ack! thanks scarlet. sorry about that. yep, eva
;-)
ra 6 my first is the least frequent
any clues for the second la5/12 please
mood mood mood
oh wow..i've greyed out 2 more tiles....
did anyone get the 10 letter word?
jbp, that an 18
i have no la's would love clues
an 18?
i'm not up with the lingo
it's worth 18 points
sorry Mag, I can't count
yes, the l0 letter is as7 + boys name
10 as--- think flower and marked. st past tense, drop the first 3 letters
magzel, huh??
huh?
i don't get the clue. i get the flower part/ but marked st?
as - fall flower, + 2 vowels + boys name
thanks flosey -- i had the 10, but didnt know the beginning of it was AS7 :)
la a den , then add a cons then l the heart chamber and la to be w*** no w, that's all i have
what is AS7
jeez, i gotta learn this lingo
199 words to go
ooh, good one. thanks Flo, and magzel
marked as in striped
as - fall flower + 2 vowels
a word starting with as and having 7 letters
ra 6/21 = word beginning with ra, 6 letters long, worth 21 points
la5/12 please, the second one?
mona, check out Angelsongs babble pages down below; that will tell what we are talking about..
i'm still waiting for some LA help too
gave you some la clues at 2:09
i have l +what we breathe+past tense ending
have the scottish land owner, it's the next one I need
Flosey wrote: la a den , then add a cons then l the heart chamber and la to be w*** no w,
I get the den part.
but then I get lost
you guys talk funny!!!
jbp -- those are different words, not one long clue
thank god because I was really REALLY lost
so I get the heart one.
jbp, that was a clue from Mag, not me, I'm still trying to figure it out
but the w one?
ive got all those but the W words clue...there are lotsa words that could start with W...heh
oh, sorry for the misattribution.
ed
W part of that L clue I mean
W part of that L clue I mean
anyone have the first ra 6/21 please
yes, think Martin Luther
LA + revenge of the s***
King
is it with , but minus the W? cause that worded
is it with , but minus the W? cause that worded worked
is it with , but minus the W? cause that worded worked
heh, yep. hence why she said w***
thanks flosey
Oh this grid is a long slog today.......I have only just passedhalf-way.......does anyone else find it a toughie????
la + tr*** (going to court)
ok, another clue for the 10 letter...i'm getting closer....i think
AS10 = fall flower + vowel + consumer + consonant
ok..am off for a while... 107 to get later...enjoy
what does AS10 mean?
Later, kat. Flask, it's tougher than most longer ones, that's for certain!!
we explained that earlier -- word starting with AS, 10 letters long
fine fine
and consumer?
sorry, that should say "consumed"
as10 - begin with the starlike flower, tack on the Spanish river (using the last letter of the flower to begin the word, then a shortened form of Edward, the one that begins the child's toy.
mona, you started on a particularly inauspicious day--this is a large grid, and we're all pulling our hair out. Often we're more informative and friendly, I promise!
ok ok
got the word
but let me tell you, those clues were none like i've seen before
asterioted
not an easy word to clue mona
We like to think of ourselves as "creative." Many just find us "confusing."
Feminine Spanish river.
sorry
close xamot, but please be careful not to type grid words into the chatlog
li 5/12, the first one please
you get used to our clue-ing after a while :)
mona, if you want the meaning of that word, click on the question mark in the "My Word List" and you will get one... it made things easier for me in the beginning, once I found them!
Hello Haz! How is the garden?
Hello Scarlet - glad to say the plants are growing well and flowers are blooming.
Is your daughter delighted with "her" flowers?
She would be if she were here. She's working in Edinburgh over the summer, selling audio guides to tourists at the castle.
What an experience, Haz. Does she like it?
I'll have to take some photos and e-mail them to her. She's enjoying the job and has even plucked up the courage to use some of her French.
a clue for mo8 please?
Fireworks, and I don't want to know how many hours this took
well done Flosey!
mo, then run together how Manuel said 'What?' in Spanish and the ending of cigar to indicate another form of tobacco smoking.
I can only hope that this summer will be recalled as a positive step in her maturity, Haz. My daughter would love to do that type of activity for a short time... Congratulations, Flosey!!
I wonder how many years I will play this game before I finally remember that "cato" is not a word?
mo8 please??
mo8 uses the the double tile
hello all and yay flosey wtg - flask mo uses the 5pt tile
yay flose!y
hi ursh and stid
The MO word rhymes with a French word for "flirt" , Flask
It's a case of needing to earn some money, Scarlet and there seem to be more opportunities in the big city than at home.
it's past noon and I have not eaten breakfast yet!! - guess it's brunch time
better get some food flosey, before you waste away! LOL (no problem of that for me, though...)
looked up mo8 - type of fabric used in upholstery
not much chance of wasting away stid but could pass out
But to be able to say, "Yes, I worked in a castle for one summer".... money is always a concern for the young ones, Haz. In this area, many post-high schoolers cannot even find a Wal-Mart job...
Haz, sorry I missed your clue, but thanks to you and flosey and Scarlet...and ursh!!...lol
I'll pop in and out to see if any clues needed
Yahoo for Flask!!
are you done flask?
Please eat, flosey!! See you soon.
I know, it's a pretty spectacular setting for a job, isn't it? She has to pass by the sentries every day and prove that she's worthy to be in the castle before it opens properly for tourists.
I cannot even imagine the majesty of the architecture... let us hope that she does not become immune to its history and beauty.
I hope not. We're more blase than we should be about our old buildings.
i have serious browser issues
That is probably true all over the planet, Haz. I saw on the morning news today: a group of drunken people inside the Stonehenge monument... drinking in the Summer Soltice... is that not pathetic?
*Solstice*
it's a wonderful thing, Haz -- though hardly as old as any of your castles back there, I worked for two years just out of college in our state capitol building. I never got tired of looking at the pretty architecture, or the furnishings in the office.
stid! yay! what's your favourite colour / combination of colours?
I am celebrating the Solstice today by having my kids be at school all day... the last one until September, and enjoying the light rain shower we had earlier. Now everything smells so good!
Yes it is, Scarlet. My own experience is that I lived about three miles away from a 12th century Norman castle, but because it was so familiar it didn't quite make the impact on me that it should. I now realise that it's VERY special.
yes, happy midsummer all
ARGH. dumb mouse. erased my answer, atalante!
I had asked residents of the Niagara Falls area if they ever tired of the spectacular beauty of nature... they said they were accustomed to it... the same with folks in St. Augustine, Florida... historical buildings, churches, culture... how very sad. Do you ever go back to the Norman castle now, Haz... to refresh your memories?
I was saying I like most colors. My bedroom as a child was pink (everything pink); I wear a lot of green because it is flattering to my eyes and hair, and brown because it's practical and comfortable to wear. But I go through spurts when I wear a lot of sunny yellow like the grid tiles and red; and I have some nice things in blue too... LOL
so anything then :P I'm finally getting round to doing my babble cards!
Yes, we took our children and I enjoyed the opportunity to see inside. You have to let your imagination fill in the stories that place has seen.
G'afternoon, Stid!
well Haz -- I live amidst a lot of still-green, barely touched by humans, landscapes. Perhaps if I had never been elsewhere I would think it boring and normal... and on a day to day basis like is more important... but I have been lots of other places, and this is just about the nicest.
I'm laughing now, Haz, because that is what I do... listen to the "ghosts of history" and let my mind do the rest.
hi perfesser! how's by you?
Things are starting to happen here. Had a phone interview with a school in GA today.
meant to say "life is more important on a day to day basis..." -- perhaps I ought to find my lunch!
But that's the great thing about our world - you can have cities and you can have countryside and appreciate both for their beauty.
Georgia? are you outta your mind???? LOL too far away, to muggy in the summer, too many bugs. But they do have nice pecans...
actually happy that you had the interview, but you're getting all these things further away from us, not closer! *folds arms across chest disapprovingly*
Stid, you've known me a LONG time. If you're just now realizing I'm out of my mind, we BOTH have problems....
what about the 9 letter word?
you heard him, folks! (I got witnesses now) rofl...
actually, GA is just as close as CO and SD -- too far to drive, but within airfare.
Fortunately, we live in partially-secluded glen... still considered within city limits, but surrounded by forestation, white-tail deer, wild turkeys... and so many other fauna, as well as beautiful birds... and now, the gardens... it's a touch of harmony in a world of more, more, more.
de9/66 took the wind out of my sails - or past tense of undoing the action carried out when spiking a lawn to introduce air.
true enough, and closer to some of the really cool places on the east coast. I think you would like it well enough there, and you'd have air conditioning which would make things tolerable.
*kissing Haz's feet* thank you, dear lady!
Yup. The price of my moving to anywhere in the South is that my salary covers 24/7 AC.
You are very welcome.
Unexpected visitors! See you later!
Bye Scarlet - enjoy the visitors.
LOL -- better make that up to and including NY and Penn... they swelter in August.
Thank you, Haz!
later scarlet!
does the AQ 7 build off the 5?
Yes, it's a latin plural.
same first 4 letters
ALthough, it really builds off the aq4.
okay, *thinking*
got it!
got them both!
Well done!
hello all - i have 45 minutes to find 123
Hello Knight - good luck!
hi knight! I am here for five more, then going to take a nap before I head into town.
Although, if it's the first 123 it's not so bad.
the last 123
In which case I say again, good luck!
I am having to type in words that I KNOW I typed last night!!!!!
But can you spell them right at least once, Stid?
oh yay fireworks here - tx for great clues - loooong grid this one
That's annoying when it happens, I know.
YAY ursh!!!!
Well done ursh.

Not one I've ever heard of!
Not even with a sunrise?
oh yes it is, hydra!

Jose cuervo etc

what about 8 letter words
"Qu"onquered the Qu tile!!!!!
There are 16 of them - too many to clue as a block.
woohoo, stid! LOL
craziness!
Une! cute icon!
It's babble - the words are probably interchangeable.
thanks :-)
what about the O in the top right corner
what's up with that one?!
I am now at 99 words, and taking a break for lunch and a nap. See you-all later... and thanks for the help!
later, stid!
monamie!!! its me!!
oc7/32 - o plus a word meaning to make. Take away a consonant from the end to make oc6/21, take away the last vowel for oc5
thanks for the great Oc clue, Haz
You're welcome - the remaining oc word from that tile is oc plus three letters of the fairy story word (sounds like what dogs wag)
how a bout the other O... i have cereal grain

ty haz
You're welcome.
How about the A on the left... have color and plural, and where the fishies live
The fishy living one can become aq8/55
need help with qu 6,27 - the first one
qu6/27 adds a vowel to the liquid measure
thanks haz.. q's done
Quietly relieved?
quite definately
I probably won't finish this grid. It may be time to go to bed soon. and I only have 137
Not to worry, just enjoy what you can get.
the aq 8 isn't coming to me
It has the VP Gore ending.
you know, it helps when I start with the a, and not the qu. thanks Haz
Yes, that would be an advantage. Listen, on a grid this size, you do all sorts of things!
all right, gonna go to bed or at least not be here. my brain hurts. didn't finish this grid. will try again tomorrow.
hi all, back for a bit to chip away... so stuck on the as10.. has it been clued lately?
gute Nacht, Toad
as 10 flower + 1st sg pronoun + extra past tense of to eat
as10 builds off the as7. as7, run together a flower and a feminine spanish river. Add the shortened form of Sen Kennedy's name for as10.
Sleep well toad.
Or should I say to4/5?
how about the I in the middle ... I have something you think of and plural, middlemarch, angry, angers

bye Aloy.
Babblers - poll time, need help. I signed up through a meet-people (not dating, just social) website for a dinner thing tonight. Two other women and two men of unknown ages are slated to attend, they may or may not be remotely interesting. If I go, I will have trouble getting things done that need getting done, and I really shouldn't be spending the money on dinner or the gas to get there. If i don't go, I'll be ostracized on the website - which has, like, nothing going on anyway. But I might miss meeting a few interesting people tonight. So, vote please, should I go or not?
oh, that sounds great. What will you be doing?
GO !!!
Stay home hurshy....
will the food be good?
wait a sec hurshy...
but take care !
gO !
Mom, I'm a bona fide reporter/photographer/news anchor...!!!
you should definitely GO
stay home and be happy
Go!
i dunno, it's dave and busters, i guess it's a chain, anyone been there?
Hurshy, the question is do you care what happens on the website? If you will be kicking yourself over the money spent, its not woth it
how many people TOTAL in this thing?...cus if ONLY 4 others going... why r u the one to be ostracized?
go...order something expensive if need be...and enjoy yourself!
HUrshy, D&B is EXPENSIVE
That is wonderful news Jade. I wish you all the best
clearly, we're going to be real helpful here hursh
not that we don't love to have you on the chat.... but you should definitely do this for yourself. Think of it as investing in your new life
hurhy....don't miss any opportunity to do anything !
congrats jade too!
life
how expensive?
Dave and Busters is an adult arcade, basically
i'm counting the votes
Dave & Buster's??? Hurshy, where are YOU???
We have two of them here...
We have two of them here...
well hurshy?
not expensive ( clsoing up shop , leaving shortly)...you don't have to play games, you can cheer others on if they play
i'm in RI
it seems to be a tie so far...
I was at one years ago, it was pretty good.
just one life hurshy....you have to do it all !
how many people involved in ur area online?
what are the pros and cons...
hursh you need to get out there
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country??? Don;t you mean Star Trek IV? :)
i mean, *I* think the pros defnitely outweigh the cons.
there are only two events currently posted on this website, this one, and something in october. they don't seem to be a very ... active group
moats
I really thought that 'dias' was a word. Am I on crack?
Oi! Hurshy. D & B can be a fun kind of place. But you should really gauge whether or not you'll be happy with your decision to go. Don't have any preconceived notions about it.
OOOPS!!!!! Didn't know my cursur was here!!!!!!
they count "rias" but not "dias"
but you may meet some other folks thru these folks
Dias is a word, it's what the throne sits on
what's the worst that could happen? you'll be bored, but you should still go
but i can't decide, that's why i was asking you guys, haha
that's dais
i thought that was dais
Hello all, since I 'outed" myself. Newby here
you could by pass this one and set something up at a later date, clser to you when you can afford to do so.
what's the count so far ?
hi gem
myself... I would be inclined to not go unless was really interested... a restaurant was dying to try...or something..
Ahhhh.... I am on crack. Thanks!
closer*
Oh, jbp, I think you're right
welcome Gemster
Hurshy, how guilty are you going to feel about spending the money? And how much of a gouge is it going to put in your pocketbook?
so i say..if u feel like having a tub with a good book...or..whatever...fine
the worst that could happen is that i don't get my house cleaned up before my ex shows up tomorrow, i'm tired all day at work tomorrow, i don't get to go on my pleasant walk with goldie, my cats are lonely, my gridding is rushed...
my cat also says DO IT hurshy! he will donate cat food to the cause
I like that idea carlee
and the best ?
oh i forgot to mention the people could be dull and i would have trouble getting out quickly since there's only 5 of us
you could always arrive late, and say you came from another dinner or something. if it's lame, then you can bail. but you could at least have a pop or coffee or dessert with them>
stop, breathe, hursh, hun....relax. It looks like the idea of going on a social call like this is adding a ton of stress. Stress you don't need.
screw the Ex (not that way), Starbucks will perk you right up at work, babble won't keep you warm at night, and well, the pets can handle themselves
if they're dull, then at least you've weeded them out
the best that could happen would be that a really hot young fella who's interesting and funny...
i am currently alone in my house..and will be for a whole 3 hours..and am RELISHING The thought of nothingness
well there you go then !!!!!
have a friend call your cell if it gets to a certain time (use it as an excuse to bail if needed or ignore it!)
happens to be there
that's a great idea Kristinc
c words suck
that always a good idea...
are proper names allowed?
if i had a FRIEND i wouldn't have to GO, lol
no propers
Kristin I still need 14
I will call you hurshy
can you tell I've done it before jbp? (not w/ dating, just life in general)
what;s your number?
I'll call you hurshy...name the time!
hahaha - no, i could get my sister to do it i guess
i've done it with dating.
Hmmm, OK. I used the Chocolate Factory author's name, must also have another meaning
and it was at times, a godsend
now wait, i didn't get a chance to discuss the star trek question. IV is good too but VI is better.
come on hurshy.....live a little !!!
gotta scoot along, son just came home ... :) bye for now. Hurshy, good luck with what ever you decide. Hugs to all
bye mom
so long mom...peace
bye Carlee
bye Mom
bye Karys
hurshy, we need you to go so we can live vicariously thru you!!!
Bye Mom!
by MOM
bye bye Kristin
i really want "beard" to be in the grid. i like beards.
Bye Jade
bye mom.
bbl
hursh - can we at least agree V sucked? :D
yeah, I kinda miss that excitement a bit (I also like wearing sweats all the time so it is kind of a trade off...)
I have a question.. do we have to use the u in the QU?
yes hessy
thanks :]
a clue for the last qu
don't have them all yet ladi...but the last I have is the olde worde for said !!!!
ty anyway
greenbay--add a vowel to the previous qu
argh I have the freebie version, can't see how many
I don't know if you have this one.. but theres also the old word for said + a:)
339, gemster
thank you hessy !!
no problemo :)
tyinge
yw, greenbay
you still remembering N K Cole ?
I only have 42, don't think I'll make it lol
Haha, yeah ;)
hang in there gemster...this is a bit of sticky gird
yes, V sucked.
23 left
I am listening to the 'Songbird' album
go knight time go!
what do you expect with shatner directing?
go knight go!
wow.. Knight, don't think I shall get there tonight
Oh, I figure it will take time to get the hang of it
do i have to have cash to go, or can i use my credit card? if you're meeting up with people you've never met, you'd get separate checks, right? cause i never use cash...
You can take your credit card, hursh
you do what you always do Hurshy....you are you !
any clues for the te4.4 after the te6 meaning kidded
i just don't want to end up in an awkward situation. i'm awkward enough as it is.
ask the wait-person for separate checks in the beginning. and then it's easy
I don't know what the D&B policy is on separate checks
i know its a fish but just cannot find it
credit is fine...it is easy to spilt checks now
but you can definitely use credit cards
but what if the other people thing that me asking for a separate check is rude or anti-social?
*think
tell them that you only have credit cards and that you need to have a separate check
Knight...is the golf term ?
or that they can pay you for the meal
hi everyone -- back for the last 175
no, just means you think ahead :) it's not rude to me
then are they the type of people you want to get to know?
i have that one karys
i have NO idea ata, that is the biggest problem
and the plural it is the te4.4 before the gold terms
hi ho nan...116 very slow words here
if i go and they are boring i'll be kicking myself for the waste of money
if i don't go, i won't kick myself. risk vs reward, you know.
but if they whine about splitting checks, I'm sure they would not be. so say you want to split it, if they object and be a pain, split it anyway and get outta there! :P
i am being ridiculous, taking up chat with my nonsense. please forgive.
I can always find a way to enjoy food that I didn't have to cook though hurshy! :)
flip a coin? then you can blame the coin....
if you think you would be more likely to kick yourself if you go than if you don't, then don't go
now where did i put those coins i had the other day...
Hurshy .... what have you to lose ?
heehee
got it - a real fish
how much will it be?
no way knight...how funny
sorry Knight...couldn't be more help
The trip to D&B? Well, D&B's meals go around $10-20 pp
part of the anatomy - a baby nurses from it
aaaaaaa
and their games are outrageously high
an hour's worth of gas - that's - um - let's see - prolly 5 bucks - and dinner - i dunno - 25? you brits will think it's cheap, everything is so expensive over there
I would say $40 if you are conservative for a trip, not including gas
how many hours work is $25?
or $40
oh great, now i have to divide my salary...
oh, and that is like no alcohol
Hursh....if it's not too over your budget, then jut go for it !
no prob, i don't drink
its a good way to look at the real price of things though!
but do you need cash for the games?
hurshy, you buy cards and the games are like 2.1 credits and up
ah, i see
so, count around $20 for a card and you can credit card it, but you have to pay $2 for the card, but they give you extra points
do you know, at this time of night, this is way more fun than the grid !!!
good luck with the decision hurshy. (thunderstorms are chasing me away).
this chat, or my possible trip?
both Hursh !!!
hushy, I have one question for you: Are you more likely to feel guilty about going than not?
well, as far as it being in my budget, it's just plain not. i have NO money for fun right now, my salary is just enough for necessities. i'll have to dip into my savings to go. lol
by the way, never even heard of this place...must not be a west coast thing
we have one in the mid-west too
well if i GO i won't feel guilty because it will be done and there would be no point. but i might REGRET it, if the people are dull.
http://www.daveandbusters.com/
but you'll have something to remember
back for just a minute ... my sweetie always tells me to flip a coin and when it is in the air you will know what you want to do by the way you are wishing for the coin to land
ok someone call the coin toss
good mom !
HEADS TO GO!
you call Hursh...we'll toss
Hursh, *wish*, actually *wish* for nothing but a great time & that everyone will be interesting.
I swear it works.
hiya buddies, just arrive to find a nice bif grid. yippee!!
bif, and big, too (!)
Hi BDG
hiya bdg!
hiya gwen
what we need to do is find an empty plot of land and all move there. Babble City. i already know you guys are interesting.
getting nowhere with grid, my mulittasking is not as good as it was !
that would be fun Hurshy, but I would have to bring my whole family with me.
(neither is my typing)
i think i will get in the shower and get ready to go. i can always decide not to after i'm clean. lol
do the pampering bit Hursh !
mull it over some more. Let us know ...
enjoy hursh!
good luck!
yes, enjoy hurshy
I thank god I am soooo out of that stage of life!
My roommate used to say: what will you remember in 10 years? The party you went to or the hours you spent studying?
exactly inge2
well, hopefully the stuff you spent hours studying.
Ah, Inge, but 10 years from now you are more lilkely to be benefiting from the hours of studying!
Hurshy, if you decide to stay home, we will all call up the menu on line and order from it and have a nice dinner with you.
oohh Blood !!!!
not necessarily. I studied lots of stuff that is useless now. obsolete or otherwise
and being boring klaurel ?
Bloodaxe! How are you?

i see that inge...maybe i need the difficult one to begin with so the next won't seem so bad.
I have a question ... whenever anyone ask for the de 8/45 clue everyone says "remove air", the only thing I can think of is deflate. Can someone help me please.
bye bye Inge2
de+ plus an ae6 word meaning to inflate...also in the grid
I didn't know that was made from cactus. Learn something every day
bye :) *poof*
ty kristinc!!
thank you Kristin, off to find the ae word
Mom...have you the ae6/18...if so put the de in front
that video is cool
not yet Karys
ok mom..here goes.. de4,5 minus last letter+ Equal Rights Ammendment+ Mr kennedy's first name common
you will in a minute !
ooooooh, now I do!!!
told you so !!
Carlee and Karys, Hugs to you both
(o:
yw : )
easily the toughest grid this month
Do you ever use Google Suggest? Would it help with this game?
I have never used it Gemster. If you go to the bottom of the grid, there are all kinds of help links available. Lickety and Angelsong are very good
it is definitely a challenge today, Knight
Oh, great! I hadn't scrolled all the way down, lol
and Congratulations
This IS a very addicting game!
yes, it is indeed
Gemster, is this your first time?
I had signed up a year ago or so from somebody's blog, but hadn't been back. Bookmarked now!
Welcome!
it is Gemster...ought to come with a Health warning
anyone have a clue for the 9?
OK, stupid newby question. Please don't throw tomatoes. the numbers after the beginning letters (ac5,12), are those the letters and points as in the word list?
gem, yup!!
correct
EspritdJean, ..Carleekat gave me this clue ...here goes.. de4,5 minus last letter+ Equal Rights Ammendment+ Mr kennedy's first name common
OK, thanks! I was going to ask what they were, then as I was typing I saw the word list and thought "OH, duh!"
i have the 9 -- it was sort of clued just recently. de8 = to remove air, then add the plural letter
take off the last letter for the 8, Espritd
oy, that's pretty convoluted Mom
it worked for me. :) Do you have the ae 6/18 and ae 7/32?
I have that 8/45 but it's not letting me pluralize it
if so add the de to those words
past tense
gem, if you know the point calue for the word, you can find it more easily. Examples: 4,4 = all 1-pt letters. 4,8 = usually has one 5-pt letter (or a combo of 2-or-more tiles that adds up to 5)
tks mom
oh, sorry, de9 is not the plural letter but the past tense!! (oops!)
:), you are so welcome
FINALLY...50 to go... what a slog
Wonderful Carlee! Congratulations
okay, stepped away for snack for a bit and missing some great clues...scrolling back
what did you snack....I would love something but don't know what !
mini bagel w/ melted cheese...simple simple but will tide me over ;)
go carlee go
could you just pop over and do something similar for me please ?
(X) <----bagel w/ melted cheese
do you know....that was just what i needed....cheers kristin !!
big holes in my list...missing both st8s (and likely whatever they build off of) help please

thanks kt
thanks, knight
pabtrek...fish tank
st7 is "type of" st8
thanks Karys
there are lots series in this puzzle - words that start with a base and the coninue to other words
tnx Book Doctor -- helps a lot!
i was wondering if it might be a little too much at this time of night kristin...but would just love something !
what I wouldn't give for a child psychologist right about now....
why is that Jade?
I know, I'm disappointed...learned this week that eating late no longer agrees with my very pregnant body...can you believe it!?! finally an excuse to snack late and then heartburn like a man! I can't win!
Having an extremely difficult time making a very important decision
I'm sorry Jade. Wish there was something I could do
is there someone trusted you can talk to jade?
Can I bend your ear a bit, Mom?
sure, go right ahead
I've been talking to my one trusted person, and she is adamant about things, and I am....*sigh* confused.
kristin.....worse is to come....never ever suffered with my 'tummy'.....and just this last few weeks late night snacking has to be really vetted !!!
I see...I bet mom will have great thoughts for you!
oh Kristin, I don't know about that but I can try
yep...I know...I can now really relate to my dad particularly. Hopefully this will be short lived and just a preview of what is to come right? :)
Long story short...I haven't had as much contact with my daughter as I should have while I was in school. I sacrificed A LOT to go to school, to make things work. My daughter has been cared after by my ex-mother-in-law, who has helped both me & my ex out greatly, BUT....
thats about it kristin !!!!
the ex-MIL has been slinging mud in all directions behind everyone's back.
the whole time.
phantom: arcade
I am facing a move because of my new job. My ex-husband & I discussed removing my ex-MIL out of the picture so that she is away from all of that negativity. We've devised a plan that we alternate years with our daughter.
My sister says not to.
first ca6 please
My daughter feels like her father has abandoned her, and is terrified of ANY changes.
ruler of rome pab
I do NOT want to give my ex-MIL ANY FURTHER control over what's going on in my daughter's life.
thanks knight...I was missing that too
how long has your daughter lived with your ex MIL?
the last 9 months.
But she's been in her life since she was born
did she live with dad before that?
she lived with both of us before that.
Jade.....time is different in a child's world Jade, and she will always be your daughter and take her lead from you
okay, I need to take a break and get a little housework done...back for my final 74 later
Jade, does your ex agree that his mother is a problem ?
bye kristin
the greatest influence is a child's life is the same sex parent.
peace to you jade...sounds like you're on the right track
bye kristin...take care of you both !
bye bye Kristin, hurry back
yes, zenmed, he does agree that she is a major problem.
thanks, kristin
will your ex be moving to Nebraska also or will he stay in CO
Jade does the time scale have to be yearly ?
well..i can honestly say this grid is now TICKING Me off...
Mom, he'll stay in Colorado for the time being. He's trying to leave the state too. Karys, I don't want it to be longer than a year.
lol Carlee, you are not one to be ticked off :)
The ex wants every two years. Don't want that.
Jade....it needs to be a lot less than a year, at this time in her life a year is too long
im only at 80 words
lol
How would you work that with school, Karys?
actually..what is ticking me off most is..when the grid this big..the site so slow...
I think that would be a wonderful plan if he could be in the same state. As it is, she will have a different school each year. That may harm her in her studies. I think if he could be in the same area as you and then you and he could share time but much shorter than a year's span
I hate that too carlee
Sorry for intruding, Jade, but if your ex and you agree, then can't you take your daughter with you when you move and remove the MIL from the picture ?
Mom, he's thinking of moving to Michigan if he gets the means to do so.
I don't know Jade....but having been a foster parent I do know that a year is too long
hello I'm new here, my sister got me on this
li7 please
only got 30 words
You aren't intruding Zenmed...not at all....yes it would remove her from the picture, but it's still complicated.
he;;o Kat, welcome
welcome katmystic
who was granted primary custody of your daughter at the divorce
li7 uses the high value letter
welcome to Babble Katmystic
hello, even!
li8 is past tense and li8 is plural
neither of us were. It is completely 50-50 split
HI ExWren
thanks again Knight
Hiya exwren!
sorry...I have to go now....byeeee
Bye karys...thanks....
I agree your daughter must get away from grandma
bye Karys
thanks
I'd be moving from big city, to small, hometown. Everyone knows everyone else.
Would your husband agree to letting her go to Nebraska with you had let him have her in the summer and holidays when school is not in session?
That's what we discussed.
He's all for that.
Thank you Mom, I was just about to suggest that.
sorry to but it Jade, how does your daughter feel about this, what does she think of her grandmother
:), ExWren. I think that would be best for your daughter.
It would be too upsetting to keep uprooting her every year, she should be with one parent, and the other having regular access.
hi again...clues please for the 2 li8's
I agree ExWren
Children need routine in their lives
no need to apologize, pab. Everyone can butt in, I'm asking for it. Cierra (my daughter) is confused. She wants to spend more time with both of us, sees her father as abandoning her.
thats what my parents did... i would go to my moms for summer and holidays
She loves her grandmother, but knows her grandmother isn't all that great.
they are the past tense and plural of li7
ow old is you daughter?
Cierra's 10, carra.
We divorced when she was 6.
Hi all
I can see where she would think that but if you both sit down with her and explain that you must go to Nebraska for your job and dad has to do what is best for him to do to be able to care for her.
I'm the one who should be apologizing.
it's a hard situation for everybody concerned
what is the li7 please?
ri6 21?
Spilling this terrible, wretched problem out here....
Knight...i need the li7 then
{{Jade}} no apologies necessary
no need to apologize Jade, we're a support group for everyone f:)
it seems like you and your ex have remained on good terms.
((( jade))) I haven't read what going on... been diving..but...u sound like u need a hug..so..<hug>
disregard the f
Kinda sorta, Mom.
thanks carlee
im 22... my mom and dad divorced when i was 4/5. it was rough but being able to go to another place ( florida in my case) for summer was a great perk lol
Pab...it just makes it look like u have a comb-over....
but I think you both have your daughter's best interest at heart
li7...please??
you have to PAY for PARKING at this mall!
not something i need mark
and as i would now be horribly late...
help with mo8 please
you have to do that at one of our malls too. Something like $4.00
flask li7 = li + part of the imaginary line in the middle of the globe minus the e at the beginning
thanks Jade!
that's crazy! i already was cringing to pay for the food and the gas, nevermind parking
li7 uses the highvalue combo + consumed food
My daughter described how she felt once as "feeling like she's the last toy in the toybox & everyone wants to have her & they won't share."
welome flask
meeting four new people who may or may not be interesting is not worth that much.
mo + highvalue combo + femine suffix
very insightful
mo + eti****** (good manners)
jade, if the MIL is not acting in your daughter's best long-term interest; then with your ex's agreement, I would suggest that you remove her from the picture asap, and then separately you can discuss your daughter's living arrangements...
She doesn't like it when we argue
thanks Knight and Jellen
I don't think any child does Jade.
clues for the 9 and 10?
Hi, everyone. Popped in for a short visit while traffic is rushing.
Working on that, Zen. I just wish I knew exactly how my daughter felt without giving anything away as to what I am potentially planning.
hi i am just telling you that this is going to be my last day on babble for 8 weeks
Why goldies???
camp
I wish there was an easy answer for all this.
Bye Goldies have fun at camp
wow, goldies, no internet?
oh fun!
goldies, I hope you enjoy camp!
you poor kid.
lol hursy
i never went to camp. too scary. but then, i was very very shy.
(((HUGS))) for goldies...I'm going to miss u
ty... if you ever see goldies its my mom
Gonna miss you too, goldies!
are your parents making you go?
Ok!
no i want to
luckily mine were not forceful about such things.
bye Goldies have a good summer,stay well
you WANT to go to camp? hmm... well, have fun then.
ty
I'll miss you, goldies. Have a great time
why am i such an antisocial freak?
oacre
Jade, what are the chances your ex will be able to move from CO?
la6/18 please?
well... it is rated number 2 in the United States...
doh!
oh no, Hurshy, you are just shy
Jade, may I suggest you have some private time with your daughter and discuss all these issues openly with her
Hurshy...who called you that?
Thank you, Zen. I think I should. But...I'm afraid.
l + entry room
anybody please????
i did
Don't be afraid, Jade. She knows you have to move, right?
entry room???
Could I have a clue for the oa5, please?
I told her it was a possibility, Mom
l +at5/10, Flask
but it is a definite now, so you have to tell her because come fall she will be going to a new school.
jellen, oa* (grain) + more of it
and hi everyone
re6/21 after saying something again please
Thank you, Enomis!
Why are you afraid of being open with your daughter, Jade?
thanks Jellen.....
I've always been open with my daughter. But I've also been extremely guarded. I'm afraid of how she'll take it. She is terrified right now of any change. Her father scared the heck out of her earlier this year because he said he was moving to another state and was going to take her with him, without consulting me. I on the other hand, have been as open & honest with everyone on this whole thing. They just can't give me the same courtesy.
I need 2 words to finish.....te7/40...and te4/4...1st one Please can I have clues?
1st ra6/21 please
flask te4 = to cry
te 7 = an alcoholic drink
Please Jade sit her down and let her know that you are not going to do to her what her dad was thinking of doing and let her know of your new job.
Jade...can u elaborate a wee bit please?
oc 6/21 clue, please?
you have her now? or is she still with Grandma?
on which flask? te 4 = what comes out of your eyes when you cry
Flask, you make margaritas with it.
oc + do, **, mi + vowel
te 7 = use the high value letter(s) & you get TE*****!!!
other one Jade...lol...sorry!
Mom, she's with grandma right now. I'll get her tomorrow morning through the weekend.
peri, authorities use ra6 profiling when looking for terrorists
te7 is the song/drink PeeWee Herman danced to in his Big Adventure :)
thanks pab
Flask, there was a popular 50's song made with te 7....you shout TE*****!
Jade, do you have the means to keep her all the time? Also, is living with grandma a decision you and your ex made or court mandated?
second re6/21 please
thankyou Jade......am done! Goodnight to you all....see you tomorrow!
oh, hey, what, um, do the 8 and 9 start with?
pab, past tens of re4/4 right before it
Is that the oc6, enomis?
te7 = mexican wine with worm in it
de Hurshy
te7=a type of booze with a worm in it!!
oops, wrong clue, pab, I need that one too
bye, Flask!
good night Flask, pleasant dreams
Mom, I'll have the means to keep her all the time AFTER I start the new job, it'll take a couple of weeks. And having her spend time with grandma was a mutual decision by both her father & I.
Congrats, Flask
when you do have to move Jade?
Got it. Thanks.
I start the new job on the second.
They know it's going to take me a couple of weeks to get completely moved out there.
Very well done Jade - your girl at her age needs security and needs to know that you will always be there for her - if you can tell her that and she understands that, then that, I feel, is the main thing
can you take her with you to look for an apartment? Let her know that she is part of this moving process. Try and include her as much as you can with the move
My daughter is my hero. Literally and figuratively. She knows that. I gain a lot of strength from her, and she from me. But when things are shaky like this, it usually takes a lot out of both of us.
I am stuck in the RE's and not happy
How far away will you be living from where you live now?
Very best wishes Jade, must get to bed....
Mom, I was planning on doing so, but, not sure if it's going to be possible. I'll be moving 3 hours away.
Thank you very much, Zenmed.
pleasant dreams Zen :)
Slepp well.
*sleep, even
sounds like you're doing what i did - only i don't have kids. *hugs* jade
thanks hurshy.
Can take her with you and your ex can come and visit on weekends?
re 6/21 (second), anyone?
I've lost some sleep over this one, and didn't exactly want to bother you all with it, but....you guys are so wonderful.
it not a bother one bit, Jade
Jellen, I need that one too, skipping the re's for now and into the ri's
Jellen - re6/21 (2nd) = a gray/green colour.
There's many ways we could work, Mom. We could fly on the puddle jumper there & back. We could drive, we could meet half-way....
ri6/21 please
we are always ready to support. heaven knows i take more than my share of it.
just a sec....
*singing* We are family, my brother and sister and me
sounds like there are quite a few options for you, she might even enjoy the "adventure" of a new place
peri - ri6/21 = adjectival form of the gaping open of a mouth.
are there any "ette" words?
only 100 to go, BBL kids!
yes hurshy, mo8
Hi all, yes hurshy at least 1 that I know of
hursh - Yes. The carpet-like material for sofas etc., mo8.
ya know...this grid takes all the nasty girl words..but it doesn't recognize teste :/
bye BDG
well, there's one nasty girl word it won't take today..which is nice for a change,lol
thanks
change the last vowel Mom
lol
that's because testes is the plural of testis
I'm sorry Jacula. I'm not thinking in color right now, I guess.
ok diving into grid
ugh! 181 left to go
thanks Jacula but still cant' find the ri6/21
thanks mymuse :)
Jellen - it's not a colour normally used except by gardeners. re + snake letter + vowel + consonant + vowel.
yw! I remain invisible.... :(
HI, ALL! Nice sized grid--though I will be getting a late start,,,,
hi everyone!
thanks Jacula
why is mymuse invisible?
Hi Pam
thanks Jacula
Hi TO
aw, hi muse!
Hi, Mom and TO
ty, Jacula. As you can tell, I'm not a gardener.
peri - try this. ri* (part of Dick's full name) + first three letters of a 't' word for a story.
hi TO :)
first ta8 please
Hi TO, pam, mymuse and anyone else I've missed saying hello to.
9 left.....
JAC!!!!!!!!!!!!
ah, thanks so much Jacula
LOL, peri
HI TO and pam
pabtrek - ta8 is the top part of a formal suit for men.
ta8 - one who turn ta4.4 and runs
9 left for me too .... that will put me at the halfway mark. :)
ta8 is compound word, dog's and cat's wag theirs + winter you don a **** to keep warm
I'm back. Needed a cool beverage to help cool off
pam: run away. run as fast as you can !
hi Jade
you doing okay Jade?
ditto TO
LOLOLOL, TO, why?
hi all...ugh, 178 to go :P
hi Jac
Hi muse. Mom, I'm trying not to cry, but other than that, I'm ok.
hi bad....it's an icky, icky grid
hi, bad
hi, badplus. You can do it!
oh please don't cry. passes hankie to Jade
ahhhh... I like th large ones...
jacs, i am chewing on your clue
everyone make up their own ending to this proverb, please, for laughs: "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice..."
thanks Jacula, Knight, and mymuse
the first 200 were a breeze; down to 80 that are hiding in there somewhere
Jade - hugs to you. Been there myself in the past. You WILL be ok. xx
you will see your little girl in the morning and it will all come into place for you. You can sit and have a heart to heart talk with your daughter.
hi pab
hurshy, i only start worrying when the fool me gets into double digits
66 left for me
Thanks, Jacula!
hursh - 'shame on me', I guess. (The ending for the proverb.
Jade, what happened???
hey..jade.. go ahead and cry..u'll feel better and get it all out...
but jacs, that's the original! lol
jack mccoy filled it in with "no deal"
pam - well stop chewing on it, no one else will be able to re4/5 it! LOL
hursh, fool me twice and you'd better hide for fear of losing a limb.
fool me twice and feel my shoe
the klingons fill it in with "prepare to die"
Pam, long story.
lol, that's a good one muse
Hursh - Is it? Not heard it before. It just seemed the most logical ending. LOL
chewing on what, Jac???
Are you okay, jade?
ah,,,that' was me......
well you're very logical jac
For the most part, I'm ok, Pam. Just upset, and trying to deal with it. The Beatles song "With a Little Help From My Friends" just came on....oh great.
muse: LOVE it LOL
OOps, I meant TO - 'chewing on my clue'. Sorry, pam.
LOL, Jac
lol TO and Hursh, just figured I'd like to kick em in the backside then
Are you still moving, Jade? I am glad you are okay, and know from experience that this is a great group when one is upset...
re7/32 (first) clue?
hursh - how about 'fool me twice and pay the price!'?
Yeah, I have to move, Pam. No question about it. But the quandry is whether or not I take my daughter with me. Divorce situation & all.
re7.32 = prepares
Jellen - re7/32 - slang word for cash.
fool me twice, shame on me...fool me three times a lady?
ty, KT and Jac
lol
Oh..... Does your ex- have the ability to fight you on it? And, is he a good father?
bad - are you listening to Lionel Ritchie? LOL
Ability to fight me on it, yes. Good father, HIGHLY questionable.
I like it Jac!
not at the moment, no :P
WEll then, I hope that whatever decision you and your daughter make is one that is abided by...
Thanks, mymuse. It could be an advert for a divorce lawyer, maybe?
Jade, do you need a court order to take her to Nebraska with you?
LOL jacs i like yours, too!
Pam. You are brilliant!
Jade, pardon me sticking my nose in but if the divorce agreement doesn't stipulate you having to stay in state I don't think he can stop it if it improves your situation
Me? How? Why?
Jade, I think you should try to take your daughter with you, if it at all possible, or she will think you have deserted her. Just make sure that her Daddy gets to see her, or keep in regular contact with her
No pardon needed muse. It would greatly improve the situation for all, but, it isn't the ex-husband I'm worried about, it's the ex-mother-in-law.
Good advice, Wren.
Pam, I need to *ask* my daughter what she wants. And tell her what we (her father & I) would like to see happen.
The only worry there is if she instigates her son
Great advice, Wren.
I agree with Wren also
Ugh, really Jade? I can't even imagine... the M-I-L? What the heck can she say and why does she get to say it?
oooh, I know that situation
bob's ur uncle...FINALY am done...
yay carlee!
ar 7 clue please?ty. it's alwasy dis heartening when you go to the list and fins you have NO ar words aat all...
Jade, I will send you off an e-mail.
She's been involved in Cierra's life since the day she was born & has been caring for our daughter on a daily basis for 9 months now.
yay carlee! and hi, wren!
Yes, you do need to *ask* your daughter... and are you and her dad in agreement as to what you would like to see happen?
Thanks, Mom.
hmmm have an ar8 but not a 7, sooooo....hunting
past tense of the ar5 before it
ar7, TO, is the past tense of the ar5/10 before it.
I welcome any & all emails on this subject. You are all SO wonderful.
Well, she will miss Cierra, and Cierra her, but that is not insurmountable--emails, phone calls, and visits...
ar5/10 is a tapestry weave or rich tapestry. (Was in the grid not long ago.)
jeez i thought that word meant tapestries....
Pam, we are in a holding pattern at this moment as to what we would like to see happen.
jade....best advise....find a horribly sad movie..cry your eyes out...
TO - it does. LOL
how can a tapestry be past tense???
carlee - what, like 'Ghost'?
I hope that the holding pattern is one that you can work through amicably enough--with your ex. HE can tell his mum.
yeap... like ghost..
TO - I should have said adjectival form. I just thought 'past tense' might be easier. Sorry for being misleading.:(
it isn;t a past tense, it means having the qualities of
52 left, going to sit on balcony for a while, bbs
Knight - I just said that. LOL
Congrats Carlee, it was a long time coming for you
: D
Of course MIL will miss her grand daughter, but surely she would want what is best fir the little one. My son and DIL are about to emigrate to Australia and I will miss little Charlie like mad, but I can't interfere in their life, they must do what is right for them
laater peri
thanks mom
It's just that when there's a 'little newspaper chief' ending most people seem to see it as past tense.
Hi everyone!
ok..am gone... my bum hurts from setting here
Hi, LBD!
hi LBD
Carlee you have been sitting there a long time
dawgy dawG!
Hi LBD!!!
Wren - I hope you've got MSN or Yahoo messenger and a webcam then. If so, you can see and talk to your far away family. It's wonderful.
hmmm, still puzzled at "ar" tapestry
By the way, I have given up on the grid, it is far too big for me, I have reached 150 words and that will have to do for tonight!
hi pam, TO, Mom, Muse
hey, dawg :-)
thanks wren
hi Une
Hi Unea
howdy, my muse :-)
evening everyone
It would seem as though that not everyone here is as supportive as I thought.
hi, feather
why, jade?
Une!
hi feather
What a grid, eh?! It was a challenge, that's for sure. It's left one Babbler sitting on a balcony (not about to throw herself off, I hope!) and another with a numb bum.
Jade!
Hi Jade! trying to catch up on the chat...what's this? you have a new job and moving? where?
Hi Une
Hi Feather
Mom!
Jade - ??
perhaps that is their first reaction to impending change jade
Hi feather
Because I just got a scathing email from someone here, saying that I'm being selfish, Pam.
:O
DAWGER! *runs to dawger for a hug*
I am going to look into buying a webcam. Mike has his own blog, I don't understand what you mean by Yahoo messenger or MSN?
really? that is nervy
i wonder how many scathing emails i'd have got by now if my address was posted!
Squeeeeeeek *hugs Jade back just as furiously*
Yes, I'm moving. I'm moving to north Platte, Nebraska here within the next few weeks.
Jade - Bl**dy hell! Who?
*trying to catch up to the chat*
That is patently rude, Jade. Selfish? For thinking about what is best for you, for your daughter, and for her family. I don't know why you are exes, nor it that my business, but here, tonight, all you seem is caring.
Hi lbd and anyone else I've missed.
une - cute icon!
Jade - your M-I-L isn't a Babbler is she?
Jade, I don't suppose I need to tell you what "dad" said to tell them.
Hi Jac.
excellent Jac
I don't think I should divulge who sent it to me. If they wish to out themselves, then that's their business.
thanks, TO :-)
No, My ex MIL isn't a Babbler.
i mean it's one thing to have an opinion, but what good did any scathing email ever do???
pam, stid did a fabulous job on your icon! that's one of my faves now!
Thanks Pam.
Well, congrats on the new job Jade. North Platte Nebraska...hmmm, don't think i've been there. suspect it to be rather....flat?
Thanks, feather!!!!!
Wren - MSN or Yahoo are realtime chat thingies. You can either type or talk (if you have a webcam with a mike). Skype is another option. I'll e-mail details of it all to you tomorrow.
hi everyone, back for my final 69!
hursh...did you decide to stay home?
hey, kristinc :-)
LOL...no, dawger, it's got hills, lakes & a couple of rivers. It's a quaint little town.
Really, Jade, no need to thank me. If I felt differently, I would keep the judgement to myself.
hey kristin
Hey golden toes!
wow, go kristin!
Jade, I have not heard one negative comment.
Hi, kristinc.
IT is a shame that they felt the need to do that.
328 left here, lol. my goal is just to do my first pass and get as many as i can.
As it is, I do hope you soon talk with your daughter about what she is envisioning....
Hi Kristin
And, hursh, no one would scathe at you, would they?????
FEATHER!
whew, not sure what i'd do without at least some hills around me! lol What do the kids think about this?
lol, what, just notice me jade? HI!
It was emailed to me, Mom.
hey feather
hi owl, jacula feather, mom again, dawg, pam, une...did I miss anyone?
LOL, sorry, feather. Been kinda preoccupied.
ca5/14 before the greeating ca4? ty
i can see that! (((jade)))
people would definitely scathe at me
hi kristin
hey feather was that torrential rain anywhere near you?
Send it back, jade, not interested in hate mail...
Hi feather. How are you and the foetus?
Thank you Jac. I'm not that clever with computers, basically make it up as I go along, largely self taught
I am stunned by that Jade.
And TO, you are noticed TONS too! *hugs TO*
as for the email. you know who it is, and s/he knows who they are...one has a right to their opionion, even if it's wrong
hi there muse
that's why i don't publish my email very often. i'm of the opinion "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all", and wouldn't want to open myself up for any negativity
it's true, lbd, everyone has the right to be wrong...
me? nope, wasn't me, i didn't do it...
that they do, dawger. that they do. I just don't think they know the whole story in order to make the opinion they made.
Wren - that's okay. I've got to do the big weekly shop later and then get my stuff transferred from my old PC to this new one. Once that is done I can send you the info and/or links you need and then you can decide what you want.
and because I used to send feather all sorts of viagara spam :)
oh yes, we saw hail! daniel was very interested in the ice raining down
new computer jac?
Yes you did, TO. You're HERE. That's what matters!
LMAO kristin!
Hello everyone, down to 132 what a huge puzzle
Wow, feather. We were supposed to get thunderstorms --not yet here... maybe won't be....
first ac please?
kristin, wanna funny? at bunco last month, i won a prize. it was a bachelorette party, and my prize was condoms of all things.
and I haven't sent off my email yet Jade :)
a+auto+ a vowel
kristinc - Yes. My son built me a new pc whilst I was away on holiday the other week. However, it is 'naked and alien' because it doesn't have all of my 'stuff' on it and it doesn't do things quite like my old one did. LOL.
I should rather like to lmao at this point...could be good for me
oh and jac, we're doing well, if a bit exhausted from closing the classroom up!
i think it's rather presumptuous to even write something like that, without being part of the whole situation. granted s/he may have experienced something similar, but it's not the same, and it's not his/her life! *phhhlllliiibbbbbbttttt*
feather - ROFLOL. A bit late for that!
ty meliae
I opened myself up to this one, feather, so all comments, whether good or bad were asked for. Who knows, I may gleen something from their "advice".
a little late for that feather...although may come in handy sooner than later
I had a fantasy today of taking the belly off for an hour or so kristin, so i could work more productively on my room
I didn't think it was you, Mom.
your welcome
I hate getting computers clothed jac...takes a long time
Oh no Jade, it would not be me. I am in your corner
I would do some crazy things just to lie on my stomach for an hour
ditto, kristin
as long as you don't let it bother you jade! i'm too thin skinned.
Whereas, most of you know a majority of what's been going on lately & know my situation.
you put clothes on your computer? *ponders image*
Is the AE 7/32 related to the AE 6/18 and could I get a clue for the AE 6/18 first one please
or sleep on my back....
Believe it or not, feather, broadcasting school has given me a thicker skin.
meliae - ae6/18 is to put air into. ae7 expands on that.
mel, what you do to your lawnin spring...."openit up", so to speak
mel, what you do to the lawn...poke holes in the ground to let it breathe
first al7 anyone? please
how long have i been here? i haven't done more than one word yet! going to work on the grid a bit
*mental picture of feather standing in a corner snoozing*
yup, pretty close to the sad truth owl!
kristinc - al7 - character from mythology or a type of mallow (i.e. Rose of Sharon).
al* Mcbeal + 5 point tile + is it H** enough?
al8 is the plural, btw.
ha7/36 (second)?
aha..thanks folks!
ahoy me ha******
first ae 6/18?
Oh, 1st al7 = MissMcBeal or Miss McGraw (from Love Story) + a part of something repeated (a 'q') without the last letter.
7:13 nan
thank you
ty lbd!
nan, ae+ exchange **** between CA and US is getting better
cybernan - ae6/18 - to put air into.
I got it anyhow jac...thanks :)
y/w, kristinc.
ty dawger
or tennis great gibson with an extra vowel
Hiya Nan!
I'm still sitting here pretty stunned that someone saw fit to sent jade that nasty e-mail.
Amen Jac
Read the chat log - It is tragic what you are doing to your daughter. First you have her, then you split up with her dad, then you stick her with a destructive mother in law, now you are going to move 1000's of miles away from her Dad. Nice, very considerate. And as icing on the cake, you are too chicken to talk to her, so you are just going to surprise her. I love it that YOU sacrificed a lot. Yeah right. You sacrificed nothing. Your daughter is sacrificing everything, and she has NO CHOICE. That's real good. VERY MATURE. This is no surprise based on your life philosophy in your profile: Live life for yourself rather than others. Attract only positive things for yourself by following your bliss. The first step to touching the hearts of others, is to touch your own. This is one of the most self-centered things I have ever read. Please If you love your daughter, do what's best for her. If you can't then start saving money now, she will need if for therapy, jail, drug re-hab, babies, etc later.
you and me both, Jac
wow. just wow.
That's the email I received.
why be so hateful?
Drug re-hab? Jail? Oh, my, but someone has unresolved issues in their own life and is quick to project. Of all the self-serving trash I have read...
Heck, jade! Well, it's no one from my side of the pond. 'centred' is spelled 'wrong'.
LMFAO, Jacula!
someone doesn't know how to play nice...seems inappropriate regardless of whether you agree with them or not
what i read is a very bitter person with some emotional baggage of his/her own. You got to be the target of the vent and that's just as sad.
THAT was funny!
hah jac...we need email forensics!
yes, exactly kristin.
Wow, Jade.
Al7/40 please
Reads like a man to me, Jade.
Yepperooo, lbd.
(jac, i thought the same thing)
meliae-7:13-7:15 in the log...great clues
I responded: Thank you very much for your comments. I appreciate your candor. Unfortunately, I do not think you know the whole story of the situation, and are not aware of the full circumstances. Ironically enough, the quote was one that my daughter found & picked out for me to use. Thank you.
hi everone
oh too funny about the quote
Une - not just me then. Must be all the detective novels I read.
and good response.
or all those men you keep on that string jacs X D
Hello, green.
Hi Greenbayladi
Like I said, thicker skin.
Very polite, Jade. I would have been prone to tell them to bugger off until they dealt with their own issues
Hi green
Yes kristin and lbd..good points. Maybe this person who sent it went thru similar circumstances but instead of offering advice, his/her own baggage came through instead.
Hi greenbayladi!
hi, greenbay
POUNCE
Hi, green
duck jade!
yeah I don't know...after loosing a chlid recently, I'm fairly sensitive the importance of putting at least my kids first. Now I did't read the whole story jade (I left as you were explaining) but from what I heard, it sounds like you were really taking this seriously and doing what you think it the best for everyone...I can totally appreciate that.
too late!
pam - if I'd bothered to respond at all I'd have been a little more Anglo Saxon and told 'em to 'eff orf!
hi greenbay and herin
got hit with the herin!
Ha ha got you
i'm down to 10 and can't find RI 6.21..help please
Thank you, kristin. I am taking this seriously, which is why I am having such a wretched time with this.
LOLOL, jac
granny, like your behind but with an I instead
ri + singing voice
hi all, back to find 52 words
brb, someone just came out of bed
LOL, Jac.
JAde do i have to read over the chat :( is someone being mean to you, do i need to boot their butt :(
Go Peri!
makes sense jade...just because we all might choose to do something differently doesn't mean it isn' the right thing for our family at the right time...I have to remind myself of that sometimes
sorry that was 6/18
granny - ri6/21. Try this... ri* (first 3 letters of Dick's proper name) + first 3 letters of 'not short in height'.
lady...put your gloves on! :)
Herin, just read the chat log, hun. Nothing worth getting overly upset about.
hi, all...any clues for de 8?
I needed that one, thanks muse
angel, do you have the ae 6?
angel, de+ ae6
Jade, take care of yourself and holler if you need to talk.
hi angel! peeps i am heading out - later

Ok hides in corner and skulks. Krist i read what happened with you child and all i can say is huggs

Hi, Angelsong. de8 - to take the air out of. de9 expands on that.

Thanks mom.

Actually, green, if I say li***graph you might get it.
If I get all done before it gets late I'll be back.
Ok i have sod all idea what to say :( pout
awww feather, he wants to snuggle
bye LBD
the 10 is AS
hursh, the 10 begins with the fall flower
hursh, there is a de8 and de9
he's had his crib turned into a toddler bed for months now, never had an issue with coming out till last night. came out once then, and once tonight. odd!
hursh - the 10 begins with a type of daisy.
did we find out who scathed jade while i was off chatting my friend?
herin - Don't worry about it.
jade's being polite and not outing them
no...we've established they're not from jac's side of the pond due to spelling :)
is he going through nighttime terrors yet feather?
I am not worried its just macpouty
Hursh - No, she didn't say. She posted the body of the e-mail for us to read. Read like a man wrote it.
i was polite in the face of rudeness today!
don't think so muse!
al 7/32, please?
I still think Jac's reply was witty as all get out!
it must be a theme!
who was rude to you Hursh?
but you didn't even see me hursh
yeah I wanna know.
Hursh? Who was rude?
this woman in a neighboring business with whom we share a dumpster
NUT!
lol nut
nutty! *belly bumps nut*
JADE!
nut, nut, nuteroo!
hi ya nut!!
What did she say, Hursh, and what did you say in reply?
nan, al**** Gibson, tennis player, with extra vowel
All agog here. LOL
pregster! *ghetto booty bumps preggers*
it is rather a long story
aragog?
nan, begins like the al5.12, change 5th letter to first vowel and end with 2nd and first vowel.
precis it, hursh.
NUTSTER!
oh please, hursh. Please?
Nut - I said all agog.
LOL
dang, too many of ya'll for individual greetings...GANG!
thanks, pida --- oven timer is ringing -- time for supper!
'Eager to know and on the edge of my seat.'
gang back at you , nut!
i prefer aragog...like hagrid's best friend
Hi Pida
feather, sometime during the 2nd year some children experience more intense fears/dreaming....so I read Go Away Green Monster to my son for a year and half then
Just seeing nut, has made me start crying, letting it all out, and Nut, that's a good thing, not a bad one.
hehe, it's the lula coming out in you!
i made you cry???
al 5/12? al 7? Help, please
Nut - you're nuts!
*sniffs pits, checks make up* didn't think i was so offensive.
and he hugged his teddy at night, felt more secure when I was in the room til he fell asleep
Darn! I complimented the nutster.
well, we had one key to the dumpster area, which we gave to our cleaning service, on account of they take the trash out. today i disassembled an old desk and had to throw the parts away so i asked to borrow their key. now they are a much bigger business and we sort of pay them fees or whatever to use the dumpster, and she was like, a new key is five dollars. and i said well that's ok, we don't need a new key. and she's like, why don't you have yours?
Not on purpose, nut! It's tears of joy, seeing you here.
Pam, al5.12 al*** it's evening it's still HOT.
*puts book title in memory banks* thank you!
and i said well, the cleaning people have it. and she said, why did you give it to them? and i said, cause they usually take the trash out.
*offers up tissue to jade* there there, i'm here here
and she was like upset that we gave our key to them, because someone has been rampantly putting extra things in the dumpster or something.
thanks, lbd!
like somebody couldn't toss things over the fence?
and i said well it isn't our cleaning people, trust me, they barely do our cleaning, nevermind EXTRA trash
*blows nose*
and she was like well you don't know what they do for other people they service
how irresponsible of you hursh *rolls eyes*
'rampantly' putting extra things into the dumpster? Oh my! What a porno picture that conjures up. LOL
and then she was like, well if they take out the trash, why do YOU want a key now?
Does the 7 come off of the 5, LBD?
LOL, nut & jac
i'm constantly amazed at the trivial and petty things people can get so bent out of shape over.
I never knew throwing trash away could be so exciting. LOL
she's too nosy
and i said because mary ellen got a new desk and i took hers apart and i need to throw away the pieces

so finally she allowed her maintenance man to open the lock for me.
sounds like she needs prozac
Pam, the 7 uses the first 4 letters, the rest of the word is all vowels...mainly the first two vowels

Hello again, herin. I wondered where you had got to.
lol hursh, sounds like she pays the bill for the service
hi inge
hey jacs, why are you here? did not go to stonehenge to party? LOL
Jade if you want to chat MSN me. I was reading the chat back thinging
hurshy...now you could write a trashy novel about this
i just can't keep up with the chat and do the grid right now. diving under!
yes, and in Michigan, those thingies are called "Dumpsters"
way to go hursh!
but we contribute! i think.
hursh - thanks for sharing that. I might have nightmares now, thinking of a 'rampant' trash slinger.
ok, does rampant mean something different in england?
really ingy? i've always though of them as good hiding places.
jacula, that's better than a poo slinger
TO - waste of time going to Stonehenge for the celebration these days. It's all roped off.
be ware Hursh, she might start charging by the pound to use HER dumpster
doesn't matter; obvious she is a "control freak"
so you have been?
Kristnic whats the new baby going to be do you know yet?
hursh, I was wondering the same thing! LOL
inge - I don't think Hursh specified what extra rubbish the rampant slinger was slinging. LOL
yes gold member? what?
lol lbd
*grabs trash can and throws trash across the log*
yes, a boy...Zachary!
Zack attack!
*ponders*
My friends, at this time, I am going to leave the chat. I have been contacted again by the same individual, they have cited things that others have commented upon, and they are not being nice.
oops. whre is my poo suit. I need it!!!
Nut, I'm not picking that up!
did i miss something?
where's the masks
oh dear god. Well, they brought it upon themselves and I am sorry, Jade.
hursh - although the true meaning of rampant, as in lion rampant means 'upright and ready for action' you can see how the sexual connotation has taken over here in UK.;-)
Jade, ignore the person. refuse to read the email. it's hate mail.
oh jade, don't let one apple turn the worm... or somethig like that
can you block their email jade? i would, and save yourself the hassle.
yep...that is what we call when I get the poo kicked out of me...a Zach attack!
okay Jade...peace
Ask them not to mail you any longer.
JADE , DO NOT BOTHER READING IT....JUST DELETE IT if it brings you down
JADE MSM me please, i am worried about you
And, Hug your daughter extra hard tonight.
ohhh, it hasn't really got a sexual connotation here
treat it like SPAM
Kristnic i am happy about that
Jade - keep well away from that person! They sound like they feed on your reactions. The best thing you can do is give NO food!
I brought it upon myself, Pam. I did say I welcomed comments.
thanks lady :)
one would have hoped that the comments, even if they disagreed with your choices, were at least civil.
Yeah Jade, but in the public forum. this is beyond the welcomed response time
did you say you welcomed scathing emails? cause if so, i missed that.
true, dawger.
i scathe real good

Pam, if you have the flower add the ending to to street where desperate housewives live for the 7

daniel was facing backwards, and that's how i went through the whole labor, on my belly, hands and knees draped over a bean bag. it got him to turn.

TO - Here's some info. Hope it helps. Sorry, folks, long post coming up...
Lyme disease can affect the skin, joints, nervous system, and other organ systems. Symptoms, and their severity, can vary from person to person. The symptoms of Lyme disease are often described as occurring in three stages, though not everyone experiences all stages: 1. The first sign of infection usually is a circular rash that appears within 1–2 weeks of infection but may develop up to 30 days after the tick bite. This rash often has a characteristic "bull's-eye" appearance, with a central red spot surrounded by clear skin that is ringed by an expanding red rash. It may also appear as an expanding ring of solid redness. It may be warm to the touch and is usually not painful or itchy. The bull's-eye rash may be more difficult to see on people with darker skin tones, where it may take on a bruise-like appearance. The rash usually resolves in about a month. Although this rash is considered typical of Lyme disease, many patients never develop it. 2. Along with the rash, a person may experience flu-like symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches. Left untreated, symptoms of the initial illness may go away on their own. But in some people, the infection can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms of this stage of Lyme disease usually appear within several weeks after the tick bite, even in someone who has not developed the initial rash. The person may feel very tired and unwell, or may have more areas of rash that aren't at the site of the bite. Lyme disease can affect the heart, leading to an irregular heart rhythm or chest pain. It can spread to the nervous system, causing facial paralysis (Bell's palsy) or tingling and numbness in the arms and legs. It can start to cause headaches and neck stiffness, which may be a sign of meningitis. Swelling and pain in the large joints can also occur. 3. The last stage of Lyme disease may occur if early disease was not detected or appropriately treated. Symptoms of late Lyme disease can appear any time from weeks to years after an infectious tick bite and include arthritis, particularly in the knees, and, mainly in adults, cognitive deterioration. Contagiousness Lyme disease is not transmitted from person to person. The risk of developing Lyme disease depends on an individual's exposure to ticks. Kids and adults who spend a lot of time outdoors — particularly in or near wooded areas — are more likely to contract Lyme disease. In rare cases, Lyme disease contracted during pregnancy may infect the fetus. If you are pregnant and are concerned about this, talk with your doctor. Domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, may become infected with Lyme disease bacteria and may carry infected ticks into areas where humans live. If you have a dog or a cat, talk with your veterinarian about what kinds of tick control products and other protective measures you may want to take to prevent your pet from getting — or transmitting — Lyme disease. Diagnosis The most telling symptom of Lyme disease is the circular bull's-eye rash. Usually, because the rash is very distinct, a person with the rash can be immediately diagnosed with Lyme disease and blood tests are not necessary. Because the rash can rapidly disappear, consider taking a picture of any suspicious rash on your child if you are unable to see the doctor immediately. In some cases, the bull's-eye rash never forms. In the absence of the rash, doctors must rely on other symptoms combined with an assessment of someone's likelihood of exposure to an infected tick. Blood tests can help diagnose Lyme disease by detecting the presence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in the patient's blood. However, blood tests can give inaccurate results if done within a month after initial infection, since it takes time for the antibodies to develop. Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose because it may resemble many other medical conditions. Your doctor can help to decide whether your child needs a blood test for Lyme disease. Treating Lyme Disease Treatment of early localized Lyme disease typically involves a course of antibiotics administered for 3 to 4 weeks. If diagnosed quickly and treated with antibiotics, Lyme disease in children is almost always curable. The skin rash usually goes away within several days after starting treatment, but other signs and symptoms may persist for several weeks. Prevention Ticks frequently live in shady, moist ground cover and also cling to tall grass, brush, shrubs, and low tree branches. Lawns and gardens may harbor ticks, especially at the edges of woods and forests and around old stone walls (areas where deer and mice, the primary hosts of the deer tick, thrive). To prevent Lyme disease, avoid contact with soil, leaves, and vegetation as much as possible, especially during May, June, and July, when ticks have not yet matured and are harder to detect. When you do venture into the great outdoors, follow these tips: * Wear enclosed shoes and boots, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants. Tuck pants into boots or shoes to prevent ticks from crawling up legs. * Wear light-colored clothing to help you see ticks
do ya'll wannna know what makes my husband perfect?
oh wait, before i go, speaking of medical questions....anyone know what might make daniel belch like a trucker tonight?
ta owl
whassat nut?
Harp, kind of...ca6.24 has to do with the heart.

I am never going outdoors again :)
yes, nut
i think a lot of soda would work
he brings me home cottoncandy icecream
no no, he was letting out these deep rolling belches all afternoon and evening!
Soda
the disease is rampant here
TO - I thought it looke like Concorde in the small pic, too.
ok! : )
not trying to get him to belch, just trying to figure out why he was so much. it actually was grossing me out during story time.
well, my guess would be there was gas in him that needed coming out
did he eat fruit?
Feather, i would assume something he ate. give him a warm glass of water. it might help settle his tummy
*rolls eyes at hurshy* smarta**!
"better out than in"
ca 5/14 anyone?
*looks sorry*
hmm, he always eats tons of fruit. maybe he had more than usual today, or had extra at the sitters. good thought.
brb smoko
cantaloupe and honeydew can be culprits
better burps than farts!
majmom, rhymes with the scotish land baron
LOL hursh! coworker brought in 4 year old, and the kid's logic was amaxzing! someone asked him where he got those shoes...he looked at them as if crazy and said"at the store"
i'll ask the sitter tomorrow.
"Better to burp and bear the shame Than squelch the belch and bear the pain"
ca5/14, majmom is like one of the 54 in a deck with a personal pronoun inserted in the middle or like the Scottish land owner with a different 1st letter.

later TO
hursh - the grid IS hard.
ooh, i monkeyed em!
Hursh, it's a hard grid. ci& another name for urban is ci*y + Maureen O****

Ok, I've returned.

Who would want o be 'perfect' anyway? To err is human. I want to be human.

they're dead useful at times fernallady
like "oh, sorry i didn't return the call, hubby must of deleted the message"
Ah, but Nut... you don't put the toilet seat up for him. Most inconvenient!

hello jeff
hi, all - just got the de 8,9 combo
hi jeff
i have found that i've been able to do everything i've needed to do - even when i got stuck under a mattress...
hi ya melon
Hey Melon!
So, you're all deflated now then, Melon?
hi melon
helloe melon
i got out from under that mattress with no husband to help at all
hursh, most people use the top of the mattress...
wow, hursh that's something!
okay, i'll bite, how'd you get stuck under a mattress Hursh?
Stuck under a mattress, hursh? Do tell!
lol, trying to flip it?
I get to do the best thing for my mummy todya
i was rearranging the room, turning the bed. but the room was really small so it turned out i had to semi disassemble the bed
No handles on it, hursh? That's a new trend I deplore in bed manufacture. When you're only little, like wot I am, it's a nightmare without handles.
what do you get to do for your mum Herin?
what herein?
what's that herin
so i stood the mattress on its side and then i was laying on the floor fiddling with the supports
help with the de 8/9 combo?
and the mattress fell on me
and once you had finished hurshy did you decide you liked it better how it was and put it all back again?
hi steph
no, it was definitely better after i rearranged, and so it was worth it.
de+ ae6 majmom
'semi disassemble' - what a great expression. Only one Babblers would understand. LOL.
maybe it was trying to tell you to take a rest, lol
it was really quite seinfeldesque, i laughed so much whilst stuck under the mattress.
Good, nothing worse than deciding it was better before all the hard work!
Hello all. I am back now, after work, to find my last 227..............NOT
My parents helped someone with renovating a house, they thought the house was sold so they renovated the bathroom, the house sale fell through the reno was half done so know they are down to their last pennies in the savings account.

There is a bug carwling across my monitor, wait, he is spelling a word, I think
I havent paid them in ages, i just moved and i have less rent to pay and all the final bills wont appear till next fortnight and they arent high
I haven't been 'squished' by mattress but did once nearly get bounced of edge of new one and out of window. No, not like that! LOL. I stood on the edge of it to reach a linen cupboard above it.

Scrabbler - scarab isn't in the grid! LOL

Hi Steph
y/w, cyber.

Hey there Steph! Nan!
ha ha ive chatted away 2hours
It was a LONG day--rounds, then office hours from 11-7:30, and doing charts til 8. My partner flew back into town, thankfully, because it was his turn to be on-call and I didn't want to do that.
herin - on here or elsewhere?
hi jade
elsewhere
I can understand that Scrabbler
I have been kinda quite here
clue for the last ha7?
glad he made it back Scrabbler.
Did you finish the grid, herin?
keep missing people as am at work and in and out of chat, dont mean to be rude!
Mom, I only like my job if I do it part-time--more than 28-30 hrs/wk makes me cranky and crazy
de7?
ha7/36, hursh is the type of bean baked beans are made from.
Awww...we don't think you're rude, steph.
as 10?
I am working 56 hours this week!
Tell your patients to leave you alone, Steph, as you have something important to do
it's a new zealand lizard Hursh! or a place where you might find a lot of things you wear on your head
Scrabbler, tomorrow an off day for you?
they pay no attention scrab! LOL
no, not the 8, the last of the 7's

Hi HK!

Hi Helen

bye bye Steph
ntie steph
awww.steph. don't give up!
I have to find 46 more just to be halfway
later steph
Bye Steph
All I will say for now on the 'other subject' is that you shouldn't take everything so personally, it's not always all about you.
you'll get it Scrabbler.
go scrabbler go! there's a light to aim for!
got to jade, keep getting interrupted and its just not working out with this grid, bye
hey back at everyone :)))
I got such a late start on this huge grid that I'm about ready to call it quits too. Finding it really tough!
LOL, you know the Babbler named to**andto**ette---both of those names are in the grid!
bye steph. Hey, Jac, who are you responding to?
another clue for the de? Bean? Thanks.
No shame in not finishing a grid to those who are leaving it undone. Tell you what, I find that when I'm away on holiday and not playing my ranking, inexplicably goes up. What's that all about??
pam, bean clue is ha7
nan there are some very strange words tonight
Jac your chilling out :)
Jade _ I was talking to Herin re the 'not always all about you' thin', if that's what you meant.
ha + Puerto **** + cross
herin - I was never that wound up.
Ah, got it, Jac. Got it.
thanks, lbd
nice clue, muse

I loathe c's
What, even chocolate, mymuse??

cr5,14 please
stuck on those c's --- any help on the first 2 6's?
nm got it
ok hursh, I won't if you don't want me to ;)
Go hurshy!!
mymuse - the felines are in the grid. Just don't let your son see them.
Nan a salad
goldies when you fold paper you then have a cr**** in it
i was in a store with a lot of funny cards today
cyber - ca6/24 - to do with heart valves. Think ca****c arrest.
one of them said "there are two kinds of people in the world"
it is a doozy
"cat people, and idiots."
lol
I agree hurshy. :)
ca6/21 - sounds like word for gold or diamond weights but with a different last vowel.
well there's a third, allergic...my son loves them but they trigger his asthma
de6,21 2nd one please
ca5 & 6 are printing marks.
thanks jacula -- didn't have that one, but still looking for the first ca 6/21 and the 6/30 that follows
well, then he's a cat person, just a very unfortunate one.
ca + Martin**** the French island
ugh, se 7/8 help?
goldies - 2nd de6/21 is the nitty gritty or, try this.. to remove the waggy bit off a dog.
Nan, the first is a salad or Roman Emperor
I just got sent this quote :I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.
ty mymuse
oh and "I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
herin - that is very true.
i got it but how do you get it?
o nm found it
my bestie just sent that to me
se7,8, means to occur in rows, ends with consumed
There are 2 ways to make ta**
thanks muse
I think my heater just blew out :(
Reset the fuse box and then change the fuse in the heater plug, herin.
dr7,36 please
st8/45 clue perhaps? urf
I cant, its ducted heating, thats the boys job, either that or the temps just dropped
ti7 words?
Don't have the electric kettle, the tumblle dryer, washing machine and whatever else on at same time. LOL.
se 8? Occur in rows?
dr4.5 past tense, you need double consonant Goldies
di7's anyone?
dr7/36, goldies, is d + rodented. LOL
Harp, past tense of the crown
whats the last part thats 4 LETTERS LOL
and plural the pitched fit Harp
ti7 is what the princesses were with their little diamante crowns on.
ci 7?
Muse, di+ fall flower, and di + Miss Williams
ci + cross + Maureen O" ****
goldies - add the short form for the name Edward to the end of it.
tsm LBD!
ty mymuse
Jac i cant do anything about the heating, its ducted through the house. if its not working i have to get himself to fix it, its his job, and i mean that literally
ty
Surely you must know someone with the name Roosevelt or at least own a cuddly bear?
y/w, goldies.
okay, back for my last 31!
wb kristin
Put layers of clothing on now, Lady. If you get hypothermic you will lose your senses and not do well at Babble.
welcome back Kristin
go kristi go!
Wow, kristin! Go!
herin - Oh de4/5! Put a cardie on then. Not that the Enable dictionary will allow you to - it doesn't know about cardies.
hello...thanks everyone!
Scrabbler i lost my sense ages ago. Yes its cardie time, i am on the couch
Fireworks!
the couch is feather so it stays warm
quest
LOL, Lady--you always kill me.

qu6/27, Mom - a paper size.
aah, that was a good one
qu5/16 + a ring.
Scrabbler - the thing that sticks in my memory from that film is the scene at the waterhole where the women are doing the washing...
I don't think men have changed much from then.
4 cups + 4th vowel
thank you so much. Pitiful as it is , I now have 3 tiles greyed, not counting the e 0/0 one

either of the di 7's, please?
got it, thanks
di + flower or di + Ms. Merman
It's nice to see you trying properly at last. Using a dictionary, and taking in the meanings of words does help you to remember them.

Hi everyone. Just got home from visiting my ill ex.
200 words done, shoot me now....

hah! I was waiting for mom to come clean my kictchen earlier and she never came :)
that is great Harp
BANG!
Hi Jellen
jellen how did it go
this ism
oops
only 139 left Harp!
EEK! Did I just shoot poor Harp?
lol
No one saw a thing, did they?
sorry Kristin, I got a bath instead
nope i saw nothing
thank you jac, hope you enjoy prison
:) okay, see ya'll!
ha 8?
ha8 most unsoft
Harp - simper, simper... you're not dead; you're still typing.
nan, it's a lizard in New Zealand, or a place you'd find a lot of headgear
ha8 strongest
Fine, herin. Like many men I know, pathetic when not well.
ty une
Yep, most men are hopeless at being sick
ha8 - the plants that survive the harshest winters.
yw :-)
those plants obviously don't live in or near my house! lol
oops -- had that --- need the last ha 8
Went to the store and bought him ginger ale, Jello, and iced lollies.
it's the one i clued nan
Oh, don't let's get onto Man 'Flu and Man Colds etc. If men gave birth every household would only have one child.
:) Jellen
aha -- thanks dawger
Jac my boy gets sick i leave him alone to be sad and pathetic
think I'd better take a break -- not even seeing the 'normal' ones now!
My husband learned a long time ago, if he wanted to be nursed he better be in a hospital.
My man wouldn't have birthed any; of course, neither have I :^)
my husband changes my name when he is sick, he imitates the Nyquil commercial and calls me "Mona" but he really good when he is sick
bye bye Cybernan, I'll be gone by the time you come back -- pleasant dreams
bye, Nan
There has been a scientific study done that 'proves' that women have far highter pain thresholds than men. Although men may be stronger in the brute physical sense, women are made to cope with pain far better.
mmmmmooooonnaaaaahhhh
Mom NYQUIL, the green death :)
That's both physical and emotional pain.
that's it LBD
don't like it Herin?
li7,40 please
I agree with that Jacula
I dont think we have it here. I rarely take medicine for coughs and colds
li+ qu5.16
Men tend to react (to emotional pain) with violence that leads to trouble for them and to wither and whimper re physical pain long before women do so.
has there ever been a word fourteen letters or more?
goldies - not that I am aware of.
oh ok ty lbd
I need one more o word from the left side. I might have missed it, if clued earlier. It is an oa word
I have oa 4/4
I think a lot of that has to do with the way males are brought up. a lot of conditioning in how one responds
how do you re dogs wagging thing?
Any really long words, goldies, are either going to be Welsh, Maori or German and most of those would not be allowed in the grid anyway, even though compound words do sometimes appear.
Mom, oa5? one who does the grain?
the same three letter but add a a vowel than cons...
er 5/12 clue?
Do you think so, lbd?
(2nd vowel and letter after q)
bottom RE 621 please
Jellen female name
what a dumb word.
i know
er5/12 = heather or ling. A girl's name.
going to morewords
ty, lbd and Jac
Jac, yeah i also agree with the fact that overall men don't deal well with pain. but i think they are told to suck it up, and on the obverse, their mothers baby them when they did get hurt or sick. it was the way for attention.
never mind i found it
lbd - you may be right there. My ex Bro-I-L still goes to his Mum for her settee and his old 'poorly blanket' even though he's 46 and a policeman now.
ir 7?
cyber - ir7 - the most annoyed.
nan, most ir5.10
Jac, lol that's sad but also pretty funny
mo8,60 please
That my dear Jac is funny
lbd - I think the same, re both sad and funny.
ty again, dawger
Whew, made it to 200. Would never have made it without clues. Thanks all {{LBD-thanks}}.
nm got it
YW Mom, now toddle off to bed!
Pleasant dreams everyone. Be back tomorrow for more punishment:) Good night

thanks jbp
i'd dig clues for any al 7
al7/40 = Ms. McGraw or Mohammed al* + To be or not be is a ****e from Hamlet
Never read that book but that was my though.

thanks
Don't forget to pick up the link on the second line.
Good cluing, mymuse!
ooh, i just got a cutting for one of those from my dad
thanks...
jbp ask away
there are too many of every letter to ask for
;-)
only go 100 words
ask for the large ones
will help everyone else
does anyone need a clue before i go to bed?
good start Kat
I'm new at this
i hate to ask, but i hve 13 of the q words...
any help?
welcome to Babble, bet it wont' be long before you're addicted like the rest of us
just started when there was 5 hours left
qu6, add vowel to the 4 cups
Goldies - that Allan Sherman song about summer camp came out in 1962. It's still relevant today.
yeah, my sister got me started, whe she & her kids came to visit
qu5/16 is the bird that sounds like Dan Qu****, then drop the last letter for another word
qu 4/8, qu5/16 (bird, part of a parallellogram minus the s, 4 cups, that plus vowel, equal with out the e
mymuse - what's that? Dop we have a new victim almost in our grasp?
knight's journey and past
yep, Kat says she's new here
tapestry kinda thing
sounds like choir and plural
nd the raven spake
also the squ*** that has four sides
also the mod squ**
thanks for the dippy VP minus last letter
need 2 more
i have a hard time cluing with just the number and points
this is my qu*** to follow that st4, no matter how hopeless
clue for the ca 6 24 please
then past tense it
and to stop abruptly which is a 4
do you have the sewing qu*** patches of fabric
ca 6/24 sounds like heart attack- ca**** ar****
ca6/24 ca****c ar6, heart attack
also what the clown's fake flower does with water, minus the first letter
don't qu** the grid before you finish
qu*** the =raven, "Nevermore", then add 1st vowel
A smaller link for goldies to the old Allan Sherman song about being at camp: http://tinurl.us/88b8a9
ty, mymuse and jbp. That wrapped up the q's for me!
do you have them all now jb?
yay jellen! what's next
http://tinyurl.us/88b8a9
hey Kat, you're welcome to scoop up any of the clues from the chat too
I think goldies left jac
THanks for that clue
I've on got 8 Q's
scroll back in the chat
i'll do better tomorrow
de
hey nonnie
if I can figure them out
That's the way to think of it, Kat!
Oh well,mymuse. Never mind.
qu5/16, squ*** a watergun
ra6/18 (first)?
d'oh, just found the te7! what took me so long...?
ra6 most infrequent
lol, not in Mexico maybe?
qu5/16 24 sheets of paper. qu6 - plural of that.
or another word for must have, requ***
qu5/16 following those, think of a jet of water emitting, a squ***. Take off the 's'.
qu4/7 after that is to give up or leave.
if we say past tense, that means add an "ed" most times
Ca 6 24 please i just cant see it
i am having a lag log
sorry
Or it can mean the adjectival form.
herin, heart attack or ca****c ar6
hi all. any clues for the 9 and 10?
as10, de8,9
But we tend to go for 'ed' and say past tense because it's simpler. That way we do not assume everyone has studied grammatical forms.
i still am missing a qu, but i'll live. ;-) could I get a clue for the ar 6?
herin, button up jumper - g and n
as10 builds on the fall flower, and ends with past tense of consume food
the ar6?
ar6/18 is what the cops do when they catch the criminal.
ar6, police do this
then past tense
Sorry i meant the last Ca 6 my web did
herring and mackerel, please!
past tense of the feline
so does that get added to the ca word?
that's why I couldn't spell it out,
I dont get it :( frown
de8,9 = de + ae6
Last ca6, Herin, is what your male feline did when posing for the ladies. Or maybe what you think The Wicet Witches of Ballymena, Worcestershire, Canterbury and the Warlock of Canada did?
fireworks. I am done
Hurshy has many of these felines, make past tense
goodnight all
yay grennbay!
*wicked Witches
coolness, greenbay

Add the past tense thingey to the as7/28 before it, cyber.

thanks jacula
y/w, doxy.
la 6?

mo 8?

mo + eti******, good manners
Ha ha ha ha Jess, good call
ty mymuse
Reminds me of 'hey does this rag smell of cloraphile'
that's a new one (among several) on me today
first ra 6/21?
nope, lady. it smells like ether. (eew)
la6/18 - RC theological thing - the worship that can only be given to God alone. Failing that, try l + a5/10.
I hate that metalic taste eww
al7, first one?
ra6,, don't say ra**** epithets
Did you mean Chlorophyll, herin?
ta 7 please
Yes i do that ether stuff not that plant stuff
al7/40 Ms. McGraw + " " these are ****ation marks

ty
I'm ever so beautiful anyway, Kat. LOL.
got 105 wordsin 5 hours, I think I did pretty good
that's a great start for your 1st time
and this grid was particularly sticky today
Yah Kat
Not a good grid to begin your Babbling career with.
also fyi Lickety's Babble Clues under Friends of Babble is a big help
re 6/21 following spoke again?
it gives you the first 2 letters and point value of the words. You'll also find helpful info under Anglesong's Babble Page.
sa5/10?
I cant fique the TA 7 and 8 sorry having a brain freeze
re6/21 re + sounds like most of the pine smelling tree
ta8 rhymes with ha8 as in healthy strong
ta8 = the most late arriving. ta7 is the same but without the last letter.
sa5/10 is alt spelling of the Indian cloth sa4/4
al7, second one?
thanks
pine smelling tree? --- besides a pine?
al7/32 al + ***nk God I finished this grid + to **ch his/her own, then plural
Nan, starts with c and you put in draws to keep bugs from eating clothes
ty, muse!!
so use alt letter instead of c
thanks muse. some strange ones today.
oh -- thank you!
doxy _ I do have the word but, I am so sorry, I really can't be arsed to clue it again. It's such a complicated clue unless your have studied Greek mythology. Oh, that sounded somehwat superior and nasty. Wasn't meant to. Just means I am tired and my painkillers finally kicked in.
ri 6 following the rope?
thanks anyway jac, muse got me. just kick back and enjoy the painkillers.
Will do, doxy.
ri*chard + ***l (not short)
TI 5 12 please sucking big time hear sorry

ti + ***ifornia Here I come
thanks Jellen
ok. i think i am qu4'ing for now... my eyes hurt from searching the grid :( i'll be back for the flip though and hope it's smaller!

Ok night Jess
se 7 - 8 combo?
sounds like what you do to funny bone
nite Jes
se7,8 same first 5, then add ***dy bear
I wish you lot would STOP apologising for asking for clues. Look, all we wicked witches and a warlock didn't mean you cound not ask for clues or even that you could not chat..
aq7?
You can even chat inanely if you like, but don't b irritating. LOL.
I find it tiring to ask for clues and im more annoyed at my self for not seeing it even after using Morewords
aq7 is latin plural of the fish tank
plural of where fish live, doxy
then add a thin consonant for the 8

what about the last ha8?
thanks everyone
ha8, mad ha****, same ending as cafeter**
You're a fast clue-giver, muse!
thanks, now i'm off to find the 10
sometimes just pops in the brain right away
TO - no, actually, i just read her e-mail from 10 days ago last night & sent her one back, but i haven't heard back from her - do you know how she's holding up?
no, i'm going to email her
I'm usually still scrolling to find the word when your clue for it pops up. :^)
does the as 10 build off the 7?
yes
past tense of consume
so horrible, i can't even begin to imagine, my prayers are with her
have a good evening TO
got it, never heard of it
ah, that's coz it's been asked for several times tonight jellen
what happened to mamabear? i missed it
if you can retaliate, why can't you taliate?
me too helen
Deep question, helen
harp - her brother-in-law, his wife & 9 year old daughter were hit by a drunk driver & are (were?) in very grave condition, i feel horrible for not having kept up with my e-mail
awful, thanks for letting us know
i don't think she would mind my telling you, she probably can use all the prayers/support she can get right now
oh that's terrible, these people get me so upset that they get in their cars and drive in that condition
what get's me is that the majority of the time the drunk driver is so relaxed that nothing happens to them physically
i know mymus - it's just plain crazy - you should have to blow into the car to make it start, not into some cops tube
what a good idea helen, if only the car mfrs could do that
there's an idea helen...the aclu would be all over that though
I know teens and early 20's don't think things through or realize their own condition, but the older ones should know better
i had a professor who taught learning theory in psych grad school & one day he was making a point about situational learning & said that if you taught people how to drive when they were drunk, they wouldn't make so many mistakes - so, i for one, after i've had a couple (not plastered, mind you) will focus on the tail lights of the car in front of me more than i normally would & make a point of never looking down, like to change the radio station
they have that here in CA, but you have to get convicted several times first...should be the FIRST time
i thought he had a good point there, lotsa ethical issues, but still a valid point
the flaw w/that theory though helen...is that the person is drunk to begin w/& doesn't make good judgement calls.
could i get a clue for some of the big se words?
mom - like rats in the maze, you gotta make them do it a whole bunch of times before they learn
which ones harp?
plus their reaction times are not up to par as w/a sober person
also, should have sober students watch a drunk driver try to maneuver a car in a safe area - but probably wouldn't make a difference for some - they think it won't happen to them
gads - no more chatting, i still have 25 to go
I don't have anything but a bunch of se4's
lol, well, we could argue here that seeing the ads on tv about not drinking & driving should be like the rat in the maze thing
a shameless plea for HEEEEELLLLLLLLPPP
se + ****road train, then drop last letter
how about the se7 and se8?
switch the vowels of that word for another
se7/8...start with the se6/18, take of the last letter, and add a decade-n, then past tense
drop the last letter then add ***dy bear for the 8, make present tense for the 7
(sounds like a knife edge)
ti 7/32? the first
all i know is there's no way i can function behind the wheel if i'm drinking..even after a few.
ti 7 past tense princess crown
Hi Uncle Daniel!

your clues might work if i had the se6! lol
ac 5/12? the first
then drop the 1st vowel for the st6/21
need a clue? or 190 clues? (i'll have to learn to type a LOT faster!)
se6, switch the vowels in the ****road train
no. just waiting for the flip now
a + auto + !st person pronoun
