I got one of them, the 5.
yeah, that's the more common one
or more normal one i should say
how weird is the 4?

anyone else having trouble with the t?
oh he is fine and dandy
sounds like he's bouncing back, good to here Kiwi
ah, so that's why you're officially the faithful servant.
kiwi, they must develop that ability early, my 4 year old was doing that today because his tummy wasn't feeling good. :-)
there are t's??
too much tina to the point where i have said "no manners - no go" lol
nan, didn't even notice it!
ta6/7 combo
lol mrp
so he is in a cast for four weeks and another op after that to get the pins out
didn't see the bloody T at all!
okay, halfway is going to be enough for me.
like your icon, mrp -- lol
yep, gotta put that foot down!
have a good night stid!
kiwi, I hope it all goes well. I was so worried our kid's wrist would need pins, but we escaped this time...
yes it is great! not sure who made that for me ;)
ack, casts are misery :(
I will now put my energies toward your kid's full recovery...
whoops slow on the look up. howdy nan, mrp, and well everybody i haven't hola-ed already!
oh, casts are good! especially for 3 months!
I was lucky, mine are little and their "breaks" - they were only greenstick fractures
hi bbnaz! :)
MRP please pass along to your lickety that i appreciated his speedy response to my questions on expert!
and yes, healing vibes from me, too
im alot calmer this time round - first time round wsa Kieran doing the exact same damage to his left elbow 10 years ago so they will have matching scars on opposite elbows after this lol

there are three ha 7s but havent found them yet lol
only 4 of the Ts though
(so far)
found 1 of them
well, at least 70% of the grid isn't vowels! like a couple of grids ago
ok i have found the 3 ha 7's lol
hace 3 t's, but no 6-7 combo
oh why isn't the ing available!~
get out! a ta6 and ta7? three ha7's? I'm gonna hafta to go to the clue page.

hi chic! is yahoo being a b!atch cause I ain't getting nothing now!
heh. mo7 if that hasn't been called.
thanks dc!
I'm pleased to say i have that one, dc!
and a tz5 :)
hi Fran and Tina and Mrp! I'll check...
I got your earlier hellos, but can't get back into the stupid thing... and lickety tells me it is logged in and available
two more T-words somewhere...
oh, got the re7 ('bout time, too)
heh, heh, was just going to say that dc
that's what it says ; that you are on
mirin really should be in the dictionary...
TZ 7
wtg dc, i was trying to find a long one
oh, does it follow from the tz4?
wohooo tyk dc found it
i have: ta6, ta7, ta4, tr4*2, tz4, tz7, tz5, missing one T
went to a canteen food tasting thingy today, one of the company's that we can order from asked the manager of canteen if she would do a sampling if their products. She said ok, organised 10 kids and they came today. They presented her with a bill for $127.00
tr6/30 dcs
well i only have 3 of the 7s but i do have 56 words total
jeez, mrp! is she going to pay?
ty, mrp!
finally got the tz7!
yay fran!
wtg fran! still puzzling it out...
still stuck on the ta 6-7 combo and the ho 7
ho 7
woo hoo! got the tr6/30, Ts done
we are ho7s, all of us, each and every one.
ty, got it kiwi
nan, google "sesame seed paste" and it will be in the first entry
okay, 100 left, I'm caving and getting lickety's page now
thanks dc!
is the tz 7 connected to the tz 4?
i have re7*2 so far.
yes, elinell
we've had that before too!
ah, man. I was so excited to have gotten ONE of them :)
just need the tr 6 -- should be able to get it by points alone!
both of mine are from bottom R
tr6/30, builds on tr4
aha googled it, bottom row greay
*grey
try that again -- monkeyed it for a grey bottom row!
go nan!
no way! I rang the company and told them to get a clue... food tasting is food SAMPLING... we don't pay for samples. They were very apologetic and 'oh it was a misunderstanding' and 'no need to worry about the bill'... now what is a single word that means "telling someone to go to hell and making them feel like the journey there is going to be really great!"
um, could 'sarcasm', or maybe 'irony' fit the bill?
ty dcs finally got it.
nah, that's not the word... hmmm
I find it hard to believe that they would charge for a tasting without making it perfectly clear up front.
woohooo i have found it the mi 9
they made nothing clear up front... no money or charges or anything of the sort was mentioned.
ok dont shout at me - i meant the mi 9 lol
grrrrr MI 8!!!!!!!
that's crazy. I know people who do priced tastings but the cost is always arranged well before.
oh ive had it - i need sleep big time gonna give up and try again tomorrow when im a bit more open minded lol
nite all happy babbling see ya tomorrw
good going kiwi - i still haven't managed the mi7 even
nite kiwi :)
g'night!
as it should be tina. They swallowed it and made some excuse up. is ok, I didn't alienate them... much
lol mrp, you musta been biting your tongue in a major way
hi everyone - i'm a new player..what's the deal? just keep adding words??
hi. that's about the size of it, yes. there's a clue page if you follow the link "Lickety's Babble Clues" and it's very, very helpful
yeah, I have a way of smiling at people whilst saying "F*** YOU" behind gritted teeth :D. They know I am doing it, they just can't prove it LOL
yes, question, see the help link above the chat for an explanation.
phantom: feminine
LOL mrp!
firewords
thanx. good way to learn english words
well, mpr, not everyone has that talent - nice work!
oh chic knows me well!! ((hugs))
alright dart!
I talked to my friend today; she was in hosp. for 42 days and lost 50 lbs!
Welcome Question, hi everyone!
I'm still a long way from finished and fading fast - may have to hit the hay soon
oh dart! you hero you!
hi marmar!
yep, hospital will do that to ya... poor thing! is alot of weight to lose.
well done dart.
She'll be suing the crap out of them of the nursing care facility for neglect and they almost killed her....
well, that's not good!
hi mar, congrats dart
yay dart!! hi mar and question!
hello query
her potassium dropped to 2.2; she couold have gone into cardiac arrest....
Hello Tina. I'm from Texas too! Best wishes from Germany.
good morning everyone. another sunny day here in Crete
3 weeks in hospital saw me lose 4 kg... that is 10lb I think? but they didn't try and kill me. I hope she is ok now
hi ?mark
we're getting a spot of rain tonight here.
fireworks
wd drb
wow, we're very international today, crete, germany, australia, new zealand, hawaii
and back to grading. Will it never end? Guess not.
yay doc!!
well done drb! another babble hero!
Viva la differance!
she went home today; I'll see her in 2 days...
hello mrP

have a good evening doc!
I would LOVE to see Crete one day
chic, sounds like a nightmare! hope everything is okay now
marmar, you're from Texas!
yay drb and hi all
hi mva!!
a beautiful place tina
We had to turn on the a/c tonight, I was burning up. And there are still mosquitoes. In freakin November. But I have to admit, I still love Texas.
stuck at 127 -- think I'll call it a night - see you tomorrow
Question, have you always lived there?
Tina, yes. Grew up just north of dallas.
nite nan :)
nite nan
night nan!
nite, nan
Tina, you're still running a/c?? My word! Bye Nan.
I'm in Fort Worth, Marmar, small world. How long have you been in Germany?
tina, i am in fort worth also. very small world
And yes, it was 80degrees in the house today and VERY humid.
Tina, just over 10 years. I love it. Beautiful topography (compared to Texas....)
Howdy Joey.
hi joey! no way, another fort worth person?! Yay! we live in Riverside, right by Haltom City.
hi, marmar. i have been here for about 5 years
hi, marmar. i have been here for about 5 years
Don't get me wrong. I'm a Texan at heart and homesickness never goes away, you just get used to it.
Oh yes, I hear you about the scenery Marmar. There are a few beautiful places here, but they are scarce. Somehow I just keep loving Texas despite the heat, flatness, and bugs :)
Fort Worth is awesome. always loved to visit there. Love the Amon Carter Museum.
Where I am now is a little like the Hill Country in South Texas.
i like Texas, but i miss the pretty of the northeast.
Yup, and there's a Cowgirl Museum too, now, right next to the Children's Museum, which is getting completely overhauled and will be open again in 2009.
The Hill Country is beautiful, I lived in Austin for a while and loved driving into the hills.
wait, what is getting completely overhauled? i thought that is was the museum of science?
See, I've been gone too long...Children's Museum???
morning all
Joey, I lived in the NE for a while - Vancouver, WA. Where are you from?
Hi sprite!
Hi Sprite!
hi sprite!!
hi sprite!
hi joey!
hi sprite
Tina, i am from PA.
hi fran mag
how are you all doing today?
Yes, it's the Children's Museum of Science and History. They've closed it down and are adding some new buildings and redoing the whole thing.
i'm watching "dancing with the stars" which i recorded earlier, a bit distracted.
Oh, you said NE but I read NW, sorry.
ahhhhhhhhh. now i understand
That's gert. We'll have to make that a priority next time we visit.
s'ok. i figured out what you meant.
fine sprite and you?
I am definitely starting to falter here, now that it's after 1am :)
"great" not gert...sorry
a bit stressed out, but telling myself I have a calm day ahead and there is no need for stress anymore. Otherwise, I am ok :)
deep breath Sprite....
lol, it is always a bit funny, isn't it... me just done with breakfast, you about to drop off to sleep.
sorry sprite. hope it's smooth sailing from here on out today for you
deep breath and calm thoughts!
thanks :)
and yes, it does seem weird to be 'talking' to people who just got up :)
today is the first day of the rest of your life
and then the aussies, who are into the evening of this very day, while you still have to go to sleep to arrive at my morning... it is special.
so far so good for tuesday tina
LIFE? Don't talk to me about life, mrP ;) ;) *hug*
ooooh I love your nick, Mark!
thanx sprite
ok, life is a b!tch and then you marry one... uhhh! I mean, and then you die :D :D :D
my husband is a bad bad bad influence!! sorry! he says that alot!
grin mrP! yeah, life is a b*tch... it hurts and then you die. But in the meantime, you can still have a lot of fun and good friends and lovely meals :)
LOL mrp! you are on a roll tonite (is that sesame or whole wheat?)
us aussies are abit sick... like to take the pi** out of everything
LOL chic!! LOL
awright, i'm nodding and everyone else is asleep so I should try to get some sleep while there's some to get. good night all - and have fun, QuestionMark! Joey, maybe I'll see you around town :)
I kinda love that... fits my sense of humour, mrP. Oh, Tim asked me to tell you he was very glad Luke had liked the mail so much and felt better because of it, and then he loves all kind of cards :)
night Tina, sweet dreams
Goodnight Tina.
so far i'm realizing i know very little english words. and i thought i was pretty ok with it! grrrr
I'm in the same boat Question!
?mark, you should have seen most of us when we started... we cried and needed drugs
lol Mark... very common babble feeling. Is it a consolation if we admit that many valid babble words only pretend to be english?
nite Tina. thanx for the encouragement
or a good bottle of chardonnay
How long have you been playing Question? I think I've been here 6-8 weeks. Can't remember exactly.
a small consolation sprite. i just discovered this place marmar. just signed in about 1/2 hour ago
okay 56 to go and I still haven't found the 8. I am going to call it an evening. see you all tomorrow I hope.
in one of my very first grids there was the crwth word. It drove me totally bananas. And mind you, not stats back then... no 2nd letter clues. They had to clue me no end.
well, thanx for the heads up mrP. i'll check my pharmacy
night bbnaz
Clues from the chat can save your sanity!
I hope people warned you about the measure of addiction this game boasts, Mark? :)
Bye bbnaz
too late
the drugs you need to ask for are... blabbling babble fishslap inhibitors
ohoh.... :D Good!
good one!
lol mrp
lol mrP!
oh, and make sure your monkey gets a good dose of them too! and give them a shot of vitamin B if you want constant monkey love
it is not allowed to fishslap your monkey, mrP!
or a good shot of chardonnay
isn't that illegal sprite?
now chardonnay, that is a different matter... monkeys can have chardonney.
i'm thinking raki. everything can be possible with a few good shots of that
it is illegal in most countries! but it is illegal not to drug and intoxicate the monkey
I would think so, MVA! And I am with Mark on the raki.
yamas sprite
reiki you mean?
raki mrP
btw, there is NO way I am going to find 185 words in this grid. Ridiculous. I found 30 and am running out of steam already!
ok, educate me
yamas Mark!
ooooooo raki
mrP: reiki too. Good mix with raki. Then again... almost everything goes well with raki.
i have 49. i'm feeling a bit more clever now thank u sprite
yw Mark, lol.
have you found lickety's clues yet mark?
ahh.. no?
look below, helps alot
time to toddle off! ciao for now bambinis!
bye chic! sleep well! :)
below where
nite chic!
bye chic, have a good one!
Ciao chic
I am looking below... he isn't there.
mrP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rak% C4%B1
middle column top link of the friends of babble = lickety
link in friend's of babble area
raki = liquid lightning
and mrP... of course lickety is there... he is just hiding from you ;)
oh you are all funny...
I like that def, Mark.
raki goes down smooth, feels like 10 proof, more like 160 proof
think ouzo, mrP, it is similar.
thank u all for this time. i'll come again. time for work now.
ciao, qustion!
I am NOT funny. I am a serious woman. Bye Mark, nice to meet you, hope to see you back. Have a good day at work.
Wow, what will power! Bye Question.
hello, sprite, joso, mrp!
ouzo made from a different source. but alcohol content similar
hi dcs :)
hi dc
n'bend, marmar
you are seriously woman
bye mark and hi dc
bye everybody
hi dc! *hug*
mrP, that is SO true :D
bye ?mark
ta ta querry
Atalante... if you are lurking: Razah is in the grid today!
oh, my time is up, got to go, good luck all!!!
have a good day, MVA *hug*
Bye MVA.
later, MVA
nice lantern, dc!
thank you, sprite :)
we match well today :)
my lantern is a bit out of control
I love fire so much, joso, that I don't mind :)
I checked the link you sent me, JoSo, but it gives no info after the package left the country. Elvis has left the building... but where is he now? ;)
yes, I'm afraid that's all the link may show
would be nice if it gave the name of the ship or other details for the kids to track
it is not a problem, JoSo, we will wait and look forward to receiving it... lots of fun before even getting it :D
oh yes, that would be great indeed!
maybe it will tall when the parcel has made port, or maybe no info at all after it's left Canada
phantom nimrod
*tall=tell
I think the latter, but we can hope :)
nice one, dc! I keep seeing refrain and, for God's sake, diarrhea.
opps, nine o'clock...gotta go gang. My hour of fun is over. Best wishes for a great day to you all. Bis spater!
and afraid too
opps, nine o'clock...gotta go gang. My hour of fun is over. Best wishes for a great day to you all. Bis spater!
opps, nine o'clock...gotta go gang. My hour of fun is over. Best wishes for a great day to you all. Bis spater!
yes, refrain has haunted me too
bye Marmar, have a good one!
Gute Nacht, Marmar
and even tarzan, which probably wouldn't have been valid anyway
g'nite mar
hello everybody -- I'm late!
hi jilli, good to see you! *hug*
hello,jill, nice to see you :)
hello all
hmmm, dc -- same kind of lanterns?
hi rmcc
hi rmc c
hi jilli, rmc
hello, rmcc
similar, but not identical
beautiful ones, jilli, and as always a nice and interesting story to go with it :)
true, dc
hey sprite ( i'm glad i can say that today), jilli, dcs, joso
lol rmcc... that might have sounded like a real welcome, but I realise it is just a comment on me no longer being a grid person ;)
how's the grid? I haven't really looked at it yet
I am finding it tough, jilli. I am not even halfway and really struggling.
yup, was difficult to communicate , not being able to write your name
not too bad, jill
*hugs rmcc*
* HUGS * back :)
looks like a lot of almost-words
I have found 80 valid words and 985.234.860 phantoms today, jilli. So far.
does anyone, or for that matter, everyone have the sr word?
i have 103 valid, and found the tz and ho 7s :)
no, rmcc, ty
thanks for the headsup, rmcc, I do now :)
oh lol, I typed an exclamation for the chat, forgot to hit Ctrl, and bingo! it's in my word list!
icon test
LOL jilli!
ohhh nice one, JoSo!
that was my inspiration for what i chose, joso :)
weelll, please share, sprite
nice, joso!
:)
nice colours together, the three of us now, JoSo and dc!
rmcc, it is hard to clue. Let me think.
*beamingly proud of his lantern
oh, is that what that sound is? *giggle *
how many letters, sprite?
come to my arms, my beamish boy!
s + egyptian sun god + first 3 letters of the sum of all good and bad deeds in your current life. Yeah, you heard my brain moan and groan!
sr6/24
hoo boy, sprite! *ponders sum of all deeds...*
nat karma, the obvious-to-me choice there, jill
jilli, you know karma, the sum of all deeds in former lifes... and then the other word, for the current life.
who's keeping that list, and how do you bribe them
*grins evilly at JoSo*
not too familiar with ramifications of karma :(
Santa, joso
thanks, sprite
oh, that's ok then, if Sprite keeps the list the bribe is already on it's way
do you know the 9th letter of the arabic alphabeth?
odly enough, no
***** & greg, jill
I take all bribes... I just don't guarantee any outcomes!
good one, dc! And then first 3 letters of that name.
if you hum a few bars, i might pick it up!
got it
wow, thanks, dc!!!
hello all
hi, lynxxx! :)
Of course I should have known that one; I talk about it every day
ok, different approach then for jilli. s + first 4 letters of communication device that works with echos of radio waves, also a very loveable person in MASH. Insert a consonant before the last letter.
lol jilli! and hi lynxxx *hug* !
yw, jill :)
oh thanks, sprite -- I think the earlier clues were more comprehensible!
ok sprit, so for my next life I want to be rich, male, devistatingly hanson, as brite as I am now but able to spell too, and to find the reincarnation of my current wife, you'll fix that up me, yes
welllll excuuuuuuse me! ;)
joso, consider it done.
tnx
and you don't need to bribe me, JoSo, you are on my special list.
sorry, sprite -- nice try!
clue for the IS, pls?
nice try... argh, don't rub it in! LOL.
i'm back!
wb Fran!
bienvenida, fran
morning everyone how are you all its gone really cold here in the uk please could i have the stats please
Hi Fran !

Hello, peoples phantom: zabernism
was called in earlier, put in my 3 hours worth, then came ho4/6
hi babrab!
het BR
hi, babrab!
sprite's right, lol (I looked it up)
I mean about the rite
hi jilli!
I found some more info. The meaning of Sr6 is an act of devotion or that which is given in devotion(to the Brahmins in honour of the manes).It's a term synonymos with paying our debts to our ancestors.
hi fransy!
hey BabbleRabble, good to see you :)
thanx jilli
fe5 & fe6 - units of a nuclear guy... a High-energy nuclear guy! =/
Hi Babrab - & Jilli

thanks energy!
one of these days we will get a challenging grid
lovely icon and story, fran!
thanks jilli!
lol... today is the day for me, BabbleRabble ;)
yours are nice too!
haha babrab
Has DrB finished yet?
smore not a word, a basic food staple not included, can you believe it
ALL are quite challenging for me
joso, I was just looking at that!
whatsmore, JoSo, part of it IS valid though ;)
cool, i googled your def sprite and the sr6 came up in the first two entries!
I stand corrected, BabbleRabble! All are challenging... some are near to impossible. Like todays.
DrB and dart finished quite some time ago ...
Fran, I hope you like that :)
whoever put this together, ah'd lak to hit y'all over the haid! But haid isn't a word...
standing is quite an unnecessary formality
Those two (DrB & dart) are amazing
*sits down corrected*
they certainly are, jilli!
funny, sprite :D
ag5, the art of growing older.
thanks sprite!
yw :)
may you all excel today in the craft of life comes to mind

i don't have the 8 yet cool and only 6 of the 7s
got it sprite, duh to me
wtg jilli, it is a weird word. Or at least, it was to me. Was my last A.
I have zero 7s and ditto 8
mi8, means to look up something incorrectly
de 6 -- add the california gold rushers: forty-**n**(plural)
sprite, I'd like it to contain an E
ty babrab
oh yes, jilli, that would make it much more normal-looking.
thanks BabbleRabble, my first 7!
er -- 6-- a weasal and past tense
rmcc i thought that was a 7
thanks babrab!
and thanks rmcc for that 7.
thanks rose! for the mi8 and the mi7 also
follow the same path of the mi7, get to mi8
fran could you clue me some of your 7s please
and thanks again BabbleRabble.
fe 7 -- not masculine, less the last consonant
ho7, having human form
arrrggghhhhhh !!!
de7 plural of thickness of stockings
re7, plural "funny" cigarette
one letter short for aarrghh, mrP!
ta7, plural sesame seed paste
thanks everyone
er7, past tense of weasel
tz7, state of being a tz4/9 (think of the ag5 that sprite clued earlier)
that's all the 7s i have, besides what babrab clued.
ha7, h+ plural prayer endings wtih a vowel inserted
yay, got the 8 now. Thanks rose and Fran.
ggrrrrrrrrrr !! woof woof woof!
cool sprite!
ha 6 -- to take out of the mix: *li***ate; pl
thickness of stockings?
that's right, you don't wear stockings....LOL
stockings - or maybe someone who refutes something
got the ha7, thanks rose and babrab
oh, that, i have that, ty
thickness of any yarn for knitting
dc, think french for last, then drop 2nd consonant.
what are you yapping about, mrp?
thanks, everyone, for all those clues!
oh, I am being a bitch.... allegedly.
that is ok... sticks and stones....
WHO SAYS?
and based on chat mrp, literally. :-)
lol fran!! too true!
send my addy, mrp, and you'll have a shiny now cakepan to take your mind off things. :)
ha7, ha + hook letter + gold ****
mrp, send that address already! :-)
oh dcs! thank you! will do right now!!
are you, mrP? Good for you! BITCH = Babe In Total Control Of Herself.
7s: de;er;fe;ha;ha;ha;ho;mi;mo;re;re;re;ta ;tz

misspelt pres, rmc c, but thanks anyway, lol
lol, fran, snap yet again
but it sent you in the right direction jilli, right?
hey, you found it didn't you?
oh yes, fran!
technicalities technicalities form over substance
yes, and I did say thanks ;)
i never said i was good at history
oh BabbleRabble, off to the sin bin with you!
and ty for that, babrab :)
i got the 7 on it but cant seem to find the 8 is it just adding a letter at the end
goes well with a re too
hm. polls open in 2 hours. maybe i'll walk down and vote in a bit.
this grid has me at a loss
no, cool, different words
cool, no, it is not. You need another verb after the 'wrong' prefix.
I am glad I am not the only one, mrP!
it's tough, mrp, but scroll back a bit for a ton of clues for impossible biggies!
no, cool, different word altogether, still starts with re tho'
i have only 70 left now. :)
wtg, dc!
73 here, dc :)
go dc go! 65 here
i'm still clueless on the left I, though. :)
i haven't even heard of those he7s

hadn't gone far enough on the IM. ty, fran
argh! Hope she is well, mrP!
*starts looking for HE words*
ok,cool, the word you are looking for is a palindrome, which means it is the same forward as well as backward. put the same beginning as the mi7
yw dc
I, I palindrome I, I, I palindrome I. He always wants to start when i want to begin.
lol dc
* giggle *
oh! do you know the song, sprite?
It scares me so, like I scare myself
I Palindrome I by They Might Be Giants. They do geek rock. :D HEEE!
my evil twin :)

I cannot find a single he word, leave alone 7s.
oh sorry! ha7s!!!
ahhhhhh rmcc, thanks so much, you just saved my sanity. Or what's left of it anyway.
lol, sprite
*kicks Fran for leading her on a false track*
now sprite, all's fair.......
I know, that's why I am allowed to kick her :D
sanity is overrated ... just ask my pet rock
LOLOL BabbleRabble!
sorry peeps, don't know where i got he7 from !!
pet rocks! I remember those - my sister had several, and her elder son uses them now. :)
lol babrab!
I used a pet rock for an icon once -- forget what the theme was -- maybe pets?
sheesh, just NOW found ni4/7, like it wasn't obvious enough
LOL, ty fran! :)
lol, at least i'm not alone!
except you're excused dc because you found tz7!
piece was in my last 10 yesterday, straight lines are hard.
we'll just keep telling ourselves that dc. :-)
and i haven't been drinking tonight
yet
lol
the inventor of the "pet rock" suggested that the pet rock is "an ideal pet - easy and cheap, and it had a great personality"
I had trouble spotting piece as well.
yep, i remember the ads on the tele
so did I
ah, then we are in good company!
i found niece, then got piece and pieced. :)
that sounds like what i did too dc
I guess we've learned to look round in circles
FMitch's god of love is just a phantom today. :-(
"I just want to walk around in cicrles, walk around in circles...!
since when does FMitch own that god?????
lol sprite, do you resent her for it? :-)

hi nut!
hallooo nut!
hi again mrp, girl okay?
hi nutty!!
nuttie! (hugs)
morning, nut!
me too, mrp -- she okay?
she is hurting... she fell on her elbow, slipped on wet tiles. I think it is just bruised.... I hope :(
nut, I missed you yesterday morning... weren't you on or was I gone too early?
poor lil girl!
sprite, probably gone too early or something, i never saw you
ow da4 mrP, poor kid. I hope she heals fast. Give her a gentle hug from me.
she can move it without much add'l pain mrp?
of course, if you're talking my morning...then that would never work, i leave at 5
am sorry then, nut :( Shall we make another appointment?
she can move it ok, but it hurts right now. it is on ice
hopefully it's not fractured like groovy's boy
ok, it is 10.35 am here now.
absofrigginlutely sprite
yay! :)
poor groovy had his elbow shattered!
ty, sprite took me a minute cause the a doesn't hit the m.
that is not good :(
i thinki t might be snowing here....ew
LOL dc... I can see how that can be confusing!
nasty place for a shattering!
aarrghh, snowing... not ready for that yet.
snow in the mountains here predicted this week.
much colder here than it's been in several years.
I've forgotten where you really are, nut
hopefully, there will be precipitation this winter.
everybody keeps saying we are in for a cold winter this year... here in Holland, that is. Or this part of Europe as a whole.
that would be pennsylvania jilli...
ok, thanks
well, I must be off ... there are windmills to joust with and three-legged rocks to subdue ... have a good one
ciao, babrab! :)
so, nut... what day shall we pick and what is a good time for you?
bye babrab! sleep well!
Wind beneath thy wings, BabbleRabble!
night babrab, and I can go to bed now too -- no blank tiles.
g'night jill, sleep wel
night jilli! sleep well too
wtg jilli, *hug* and sweet dreams. That is, if you not only can but will go to bed now.
welp sprite, i would say any weekday after 5 my time...not sure what are time difference is though
6 hours, nut
it is 10.39 am here now, nut
guess that's asking you to stay up a bit late
maybe we should make our dates for the weekend to accomodate the time zones better
oops, I am not good in staying up late atm. Way too tired.
good idea. I will have time this weekend, the way it looks now.
yes, I AM going to bed *poof*
i'm surprised mirin isn't accepted, but shoyu is.
ok...then i'll be home in the morning and it should work out well
ok :) We will give it a try then.
Enable is the epitome arbitrariness, fran.
you said it dc!
morning all!!
I second that
hi pink
hi pink!
hey sprite
dr.g hasn't uploaded the new version of Enable since sept 2003. go figure.
hi fran how are you all doing?
hi, pinkhat
not all too keen on change in general, mrP ;)
i'm doing fine pink? how about you?
every year, the dictionary adds 25,000 words to it. so we are 100,000 words behind here
jeepers mrp, that just made me queesy
g'nite all
which means the grids are actually a lot bigger than they appear. :-)
email and ask him, or set up an FTP for him to xfer it from you, mrp
hi dc...im well frannie, but my lecturer has walked in and is demanding the computer i must go!
g'night, joso
night joso! sleep well
ciao, pink
nite joso :)
bye pink!
sleep well, JoSo *hug*
bye pink :)
i was going to ask her how her classes were going...didn't realize she was right in the middle of one!
lol Fran, neither was I.
37 left, still missing 2 7s and 8 6s!!
dcs, email on it's way now! :)
mrP, here is a BIG *hug* for you. Got the feeling you need one very much right now.
Hi
Sprite, I am sooooo exhausted! We have photos in 2 days!! I just wanna die
mrp, we all expect pictures of a finished train cake in your flickr. :-)
hi infernal! you just missed pinkhat
ah, that's what I felt then :) *sends mrP a huge supply of energy*
all your work will be worth it mrp!
*sending money-making vibes to mrp and lickety*
*and another huge supply of energy*
got it, mrp. that email is my paypay, i'll let you know what postage was once i've posted it, as it will vary within that small range i mentioned the other day.
my disaster is... no lounge, no furniture in lounge room!! have to buy a f***ing lounge!! with what money??
dear all, I am gonna leave you for a while, am way tired and not finding this grid easy at all. Back later. *hugs* to you all.
ciao, sprite!
bye sprite! ((hugs)) lovely to see you darling
later sprite! ((hug))
mrp, maybe for the pictures you could fake it with furniture from other rooms?
mrp, google ads on ur email inclued airfare to austrailia, cigars and supplies, and a sit in VIetnamese. :)
also, for staging for the open house, sometimes rental furniture is used.
often times, fran, at least here.
I don't think I can fake a lounge though fran :) I really need one in the room. We had to dispose of the others as they had gone to hell in a handbag and couldn't be resurrected. I hope I can get rental furniture before friday... (good idea)
usually supplied by realtor or realty firm.
yes dcs, will ask the real estate people about that tomorrow
hi again
i haven't found any words for a while, going to call it a night
see you all tomorrow!
bye fran :)
MR PRes
lounge ?

hello?
Ok dumb moment. Mr pres can you borrow stuff of family or friends?
hi, lady
no infern. would be an imposition of immense proportions. I will, however, borrow throw rugs and pillows and lamps from everyone I know
bye, fran
Thats a plan. I told Dc about ikea.com.au and you can have a plan of the room and where you want furniture it doesnt have to be from ikea
hello
wb
leaves are thinning, i can see a few lights from next street thru the trees now.
DC that sounds like the start of a poem
hm. could be.
Is anyone else here?
I'm pleading the fifth.

nope, no-one else but us mice
I'm well, thanks.

Hi haz
are you a tit-mouse, or a field-mouse?
hi, eva
Plead the fifth, people. It's the way forward.
what about a house-mouse?
hi everyone
Hi Eva
rm
sorry

House mice are just vermin who have lost their way.
that was my impression, haz
I don't want to be one anymore - not only unwanted but stupid to boot!
:) very well, lynxxx
Hi whats up Haz?
What do you mean?
Ok ill rephrase that 'what is wrong Haz for you to plead the fifth?

Hi Liz
Hi Liz
morning Babblers
afternoon, liz
Good morning, nono!
morning, nono!
Hello, Liz!
dagnabbit, was doing babble in my sleep so had to get up to finish. even found the 8 word
Hi Nono
Hi Herin, Lynxxx, DC, Nonnie...all
Clue for the 8 plz
lol, morning bbnaz!
bbnaz - thats bad!
Hi MM
hiya lynxxx
yes, i am afraid that it is.......
hello, mm and herin :o)
but nice to see you all
just found my fav word of the week, gi6/16, didn't know it was a real word!!!
HI BB
gday to you herin
clue for the 8 plz
mi8= to wrongly direct
8 = incorrect recommendation
ty
so is it naughty to get close to finishing and then transfering ovef to babble expert to see the "improved" fireworks?
doesn't everyone do that bbnaz?
no not at all
dunno. this is the first time i have tried the expert
I usually do as much as I can 'old style' but when I need the list go to BabbleExpert - but everyone works their own way
bb i use bb exclusively just close off lickety's list until i am ready to use it
seeing how it took my daughter to show me how to open up the file in the first place. poor lickety, i think he was ready to tell me to just use his simple list.
don't mean to sound stupid, but what do you mean by "babble expert"???
I use expert the entire time but work the puzzle without the clues until I just can't get any further.
it is a beta version that lickety programed ishult
Oh ishult! you must get it...email Lickety (contact on his list) you'll love it!
has everything on one page and so simple to use
It has and "add a word or chat" area and also the clues are shown off to one side.
eliminates the problem of typing in the wrong box too
I never use the ordinary version of Babble anymore.....
and adds the word to the Wod List and Clue List similtaneously
that is the most favorite part for me. the "add a clue" button
Same here, bb
help
I figured it was just a matter of getting used to it just like when the original babble switched to this format.
ride
i should email and give expert a try
Hi Black - what can we help you with?
hi, blackhair
old dog and all.
you really should dc
babble
hi blackhair
dine
It will be worth it, dc
blackhair -- you are doing a JAI
hi
blackhair be careful where you are typing your words .... be sure to go back to add word for that
i dont know
Need to change out the laundry and get ready for work. Take care all and have a great day.
How is everyone

bb, i live in Virginia, just outside of DC. today, we elect our entire legistlature, entire county gov't, school board, water and soil conservation district board, and we have 2 bond issues here.
i pride myself on voting. just haven't seen anything of major importance here in the uni town i live in. will pull out paper and read.

dagnabbit, i hate it when my ignorance shows.
Morning all. I've been lurking and babbling and I've just finished - but no video today!

Beautiful sunny day Jac but quite parky.
Hi lyn
Good day everyone. We are having thunder and lightning and supposed to get almost one foot of snow overnight. We have a "snow advisory" as the weather guy said.

Well done, bb.
Good morning'afternoon all.
Hi Jac & Scrabbler too
Yahoo for finishers.
Heck, Scrabber!
Congrats bbnaz
Hello lyn and haz.

Fine thanks, Tiny. Just trying to get the chutney smell out of the house. I made 12lbs of tomato chutney yesterday (half green and half red). The boiling of vinegar and spices had the whole family complaining. LOL.
hello Babblers! Anyone have the fe7,44 ???
Yuck LOL
bb - there were a couple of racecourses in the photos. Are far as I know the horses weren't there.
fe7.44 not masculine with an additional vowel at end
water is every bit as frightening as fire in my opinion but then I live in the desert where when there is enough rain, it just roars.
The video screen just came up. Seems to have been something with polar bears but say that this video is no longer available! Off I go to sudoku. See you tomorrow.
'Bye, Frances.
Bye Frances
TY bbnaz :)
bb - I agree, having had my home flooded 4, almost 5 times, in the past and, through that, now having no flood insurance. So, any build up of water now terrifies me.
I am going too been here for a while but in the background
Bye everyone
'Bye, Tiny.
bye bye tiny
Bye Tiny. Lots of lurkers and skulkers this morning..
bye Tiny
I'm a L & S this morning, Haz. Good morning, all!
hello Scarlet
Hello Scarlet.
*an*
Good morning Scarlet. Could we not find a less conspiratorial term for lurking and skulking? I'm open to suggestions.
*quits lurking* How's the grid?
Good morning, Jacula... gosh, what's to complain about a lady who makes chutney? Wonderful!
Peripheral observer...?
wallflower?
That sounds better.
Good morning, Uniquity! (Or, PE for short?)
Peeping Tom? Hello everyone.
LOL, bbnaz... Hi, chiley!
Good morning Uniquity. PE conjures up memories of Physical Education classes.
anyway, good lulck all. i will be back in later to help with clues unless some pop up now.
*luck
When I was always last to be chosen for teams... (PE)
Oh, yes... ewwww... peek and run....
See you later, bbnaz...
36 to go but the ironing calls and the vacuum cleaner is shouting, 'Use me or I'll leave ho4/6!':(
scarlet, did you ever cook Sauerbraten last week?
See you later, Babblers. xx
Good morning, inge. I really wanted to talk to you before I did that... did you find your mother's recipe?
Later, Jacula.
Bye Jacula!
(Hope you can hear that above the roar of the household implements)
PARDON?
Byeee.;)
:-)
TURN YOUR DEAF AID UP!
yes, and I made it for Sunday. I dont think it is worth all that preparation. I also found a US recipe that added sugar and raisons, which I did not do
Aren't we having closed captions here, Haz?
No, that doesn't appeal to me, inge, either... but, I think I will go on the net to find some recipe that goes "AH!" to my head?
I made a corned beef brisket yesterday and created a corned beef hash for the family... they love it, but it's a ton of work.
Scarlet, when I get a breakfrom Babble, I will put my German recipe in my bio
OH! Thank you so much inge, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that!
Oooh, I'd go for some of your German recipes, inge (wallflower here)
My dinner last night was Spicy Shrimp Grits.....it was yummy
I am so afraid I will type into the wrong box here, but on my expert babble I cannot see the chat
Chiley, we love grits, but I've yet to try the cheddar shrimp and grits I see on so many menus here...daughter says it's so good...
Funny, my mother wrote down mostly post WWII recipees with limited ingredients
She kept all the others in her head
Chiley... big fire last night... Ashley furniture on Patton Avenue was an all-alarm blaze for many hours... started at about 9 p.m.
OK going under water, cannot see chat
Later, inge.
Wow....I see "FIRE SALE" in A'ville's future
LOL... exactly!
tz7,52 ??? anyone have it?
Build on the Russian emperor begining - the quality of being?
I have been trying every combo of the russian emperor... going crazy now
lil, add ending of words for addiction... such as alcohol***
oh! TY ch1212
yw (diving back into grid with only minutes before I have to leave for work )
oh just call in sick
get your priorities straight
goodnite everyone...
Sleep well, lynxxx.
what day/night is it there lynxxx??
monday night?
They're ahead, it'll be Tuesday evening/night.
oic
my vote for dumbest word of the day is the tr6,30
I thought the sr6 might pip it for that title.
you're probably right! I haven't gotten that one yet
But there are more contenders than usual for a strange word champion.
That would explain my troubles!
It's definitely a consult the dictionary day.
I have to use the dictionary for 5-10 words every day...this is not boding well for mw
It's a streeeetching of the vocabulary day.
good morning all, this puzzle looks nasty
Good morning flosey. Lots of normal words, but some new ones to prise out with tweezers.
i dont know if this question got answered but yes its tuesday night in australia almost early hours of wednesday
I'll run and get them
Scarlet the Ashley Fire was it a store or a factory?
Scarlet must be busy laying the dynamite to blow this grid apart...
Meanwhile, I'll go and get some lunch. Bye for now.
enjoy haz
think I'll go out for a walk, see if some fresh air clears head this grid
Good morning; my nose has been in the grid. I am stuck on the fa 5,20. Any help please.
Morning Merk
Hi, Nono. Having a good day?

Thanks for that Nono - that is me finished

Bugger, I've finished, got the fireworks, but apparently today's vid is no longer available......
oh angel i bet you are just soooooooo excited
congrats Movieman!
I sure am. we are taking every thing except the bed my daughter and son in law are sleeping in, since they will be here overnight (they close on the 16th), then they will bring the bed when they pick up a washer and dryer from us at the house.
Angel that rocks! You should have champagne when you have your first babble in the new house!!!

***rma & greg

be bye becka
I remembered the TV show thanks dc
:)
new word for me :-)
for most all of us, based on the overnight crew, of which i am usually a part.
the cats are thrilled to be out on the deck today :)
it must be nice there dc
it's in the 50s, windy, and it rained overnight. I have the sliding door open only just enough to let them out, heat's set to 60, and it's 67 in here now.
trees are hitting peak color right now here, too. Lots of yellow, odd bits of red. The dogwoods have lost most their leaves, and the northern oaks had started to flower again.
sounds nicer than here
we have 39 and quite windy
lots of rain overnight
remembering October vactations in Bemus Point on Lake Chautauqua, i'm sure it's a bit nicer, if only warmer, here. :)
Good morning, all! dcseain, you are a very spiritual observer of the elements.
such a deligtful description dc!
good morning Scarlet
Hi there dear Scarlet
ty, nono
We used to go to Lake Chautauqua for writers' conferences.
morning, scarlet
why thank you, scarlet. :)
:-)
Good morning, your Peri-ness!!
I have family in Bemus Point, Chautauqua, and Jamestown. Now if only someone would move to Mayville, and we'll have the lake surrounded ;)
:-)
Scarlet, the Ashley fire you mentioned earlier,was it a store or a factory?
LOL...
gray and rainy here too, rained last night
the sun is peaking out here now, what with the wind pushing the clouds off to the ENE
We are experiencing one of those perfect days with clear skies, mid-range winds and the colors are etched in muted tones... A perfect day to be alive and aware...
good morning....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,snowing,ec k..:)
sounds lovely, scarlet.
good morning, hodag
hi hodag, you can keep the snow with you :-)
morning hodag
Ack... snow! Hi, hodag... it truly is, dc... I love the autumn...
I know my friends in Kitchener, ON, and Ft Collins, CO have gotten snow
no,I am trying to send it on.........lol
The big trees are still green here.
Scrabbler said they are predicted a foot of snow tonight!!! hope it stays away from here
Good morning, Nono.. it was a furniture store... huge and obviously, total kindling for a fire... terrible, though~
we're still in drought, and need precipitation, whatever form it may take.
no one hurt, scarlet?
i can imagine Scarlet..... any idea yet as to the cause
hi nono
Likewise here, dc... drought conditions... nearly 12 inches under the standard table. No one was hurt, dc... the firemen are also well, and accounted for in all quarters.
My son is a inventory manager for our local Ashley store and has traveled to some of the others
glad to hear, the things can be replaced
The Ashley stores here are closing
None, so far, Nono... but the fire marshalls are investigating as per procedure.
Oh, chiley... I hate to have unfounded suspicions... too bad that the chain is suffering... I hope it will not prove to be arson...
yayyyyy FIREWORKS!!
WTG< NONO! WOO!
WTG NoNo
Yahoo for Nono... Have a spectacular day! We must go vote early this afternoon.... Husband and I are particularly miffed at the lack of interest here during elections...
boohooo the video is no longer available
you go Nono......8)
yes I must go get ready and go vote as well
you all have a great day and happy babbling
bye Nono
ciao, nono
see ya Nono
I have seen more civic-minded people here in Babble than I have met in town... there is a core of folks who know how important the process is, but you can't make a ballerina out of a warthog... you either do it, or mumble about the results... I am just kvetching this morning! LOL :-)
How many warthogs does it take to change a ballerina?
I voted, went to the grocery and the bakery, and got back a short time ago.
SEven hundred, BR-r!!
4?
You are a good citizen, dc...
Social engineering at its finest
704, it is, then!!
oh come on..............:)
;-)
fireworks!
~!~!~!FIREWORKS!~!~!~
bbl
yay angelsong!!!!
WTG Angel
yahoo angel
Congratulations, Angel and best wishes with your new life and new home!
BabbleRabble, do we get a punchline? <:-)
yay kristine!
No, BR-r just punches the grey matter, dc...
scarlet, thanks, but it's the same life in a new location...:)
Yahoo for KristineNas... Well done!
congrats, Angelsong and KristineNas
ty vm
I am happy for you, Angel.
congrats Angel and Kris
Pabtrek, your icon is a beautiful lantern... I tried to look more closely at dc's and yours, but my computer is super-logy this morning.
fireworks, what happened to the video, that it is no longer available?
thanks Scarlet, i love horses and try to find icons that have them in it
congrats, inge!
congrats inge
pab's is a square hurricane with a rearing horse, all in lovely browns and beiges, quite nice
is there no video, or is my computer faulty?
Going to look for a lantern
no one overnight mentioned a video, nor missing a video
so i don't know
by all...........;-)
ill try again -- mornin babblers! (hopefully work doesnt make me disappear again!)
later, hodag!
Congratulations, inge~! Someone mentioned earlier that the video no longer shows. Hi, EvaN!
Mine is a lantern, too... just the biological kind... LOL
howdy, eva
how is everyone?
Later, hodag... see you soon!
indeed so, scarlet, it's pretty
my BF is a fan of the green lantern -- surprised i didnt think to put up his logo. ;)
Thank you, dc... We are well in Asheville, Eva... how is life for you? Has your boyfriend found any opportunities yet?
i thought about green lantern, MovieMan had a fab green lantern, and i chose a green lantern because i was inspired by the Green Lantern. LOL
he has an interview tomorrow! seems pretty sure hes got this one in the bag, but i wont hold my breath until theres something to sign!
You could have done Kato as a really off -the-wall reference, Eva.
glad to hear Eva, and testify on the the in writing part
Wonderful, Eva... I will keep a good thought for him!
i almost went with the Green Lantern, but decided on something more traditional
in the time hes been at home, hes really been great -- been taking care of most, if not all the housework, been picking me up from the metro station, been making dinner...really been quite a help!
wow, the HRC sent one, and the DNC two, reminders to vote today.
if i pushed any harder for words, i'd give birth to a litter of kittens
My first thought was the magical Chinese of Japanese lanterns... they fascinated me as a child... well, even now...LOL
howdy, ?
LOL, Question!
*or*\
OK , now my icon is IN THEME. Refresh if you dont see a lantern
We don't often see that here in Babble, Question! ;-)
wrought iron? very nice, inge
Any sudoku addicts here? eyeman just became a grandpa
how wonderful inge! ty for sharing
Very nice, inge!
morning..how is eveyrone
morning carlee, i'm well, and you?
beautiful lantern, carlee!
I slept in.... now I feel like 1/2 my day gone :(
Hi, kattie!
morning red
Good Morning, Carlee, the wind is trying to blow us away!
I think it is.... but at least is sunny out
carlee, i am confident you deserved, and needed, the rest.
I am too dc...but I lost 4 hours of my day...poof..gone... I don't like that feeling...
it's fun watching the flitting, flipping yellow leaves filtering the sunlight
i can understand that, but sometimes it's necessary.
yeap..it is....
Inge, we have to go vote fairly soon, so, if you post that recipe, will you be on later in the afternoon for me to copy it?
Kattie... with the 45 minutes of sleep you've been averaging a night... your poor, overstressed body just had to take what it needed. No guilt allowed! :-)
Scarlet, I will add it to my bio, so dont worry. No voting in our town, though all the neighboring communities are going to the polls
Thank you so much, inge. That is very kind of you.
state-wide elections here in VA, all state and county offices are up.
hahaha..i never said I felt guilty.... i just don't like it... its kind of a feeling of being lost...or late for appointment... a feeling of "well NOW when will Ihave time for a,b,c etc "
clue for ra5/12?
Okay, then, kat... make the best of a good start then... being rested.. what a shock to your body! LOL
plural of circle measurement
that was for dcscain
danke, inge. i should sleep at some point :)
hello
howdy, harp
ok..WHY isn't smore allowed?
I tried it too, Carlee
it's a contraction, carlee
that is just... just...
( who cares if it is a contraction...that is just... just... wrong)
I am pleased to see how many icons re IN theme
i concur
BabbleRabble never did tell us how many warthogs it takes to change a ballerina did he. Or was 407 the answer.
704 dc...i was lurking
right, ty, carlee
my apologies, i've been up since 16:30 yesterday.
no problem dc....
if "you light up my life" is the theme, then my icon is applicable.. howdy babblers
phantom: hornigo, which is not even English.
howdy, aloyisius!
so's mine alo, it's the bonfire guy!
Hello there, Aloy and harp!
LOL, kat...
duh, harp.. tell me about "bonfire guy"... hi there, Scarlet and dc
I had Guy Fawkes yesterday...
Guy Fawkes, aloyisius
ah, so!
I like your icon of him better than the idealized portrait I found, harp.
OHMIGOSH, Aloy... Mia is beyond precious!
the hungry caterpillar for Halloween.. ty, Scarlet..(-:
Awwwww....
6 weeks have gone by quickly.. will see her again at Thanksgiving. maybe a smile then?
I bet... that's just about right in development... are you going to be Grandma, then, Aloy?
? Scarlet? Sorry..
I had asked you about what name you wanted to be called by Mia... and you hadn't quite thought about it then....
ooh, lol, now i remember.. grandma is fine with me.. when she gets older, she will probably come up with her own name for me.. i like grandma!
:-)
do your grandkids call you grandma, Scarlet?
I am Baba, and beloved is Paca to all of the grands, Aloy.
ah, yes.. you told me that.. sorry, haven't finished the second cup... those are great names!
LOL... we love those names... very, very special!
Gosh, these TZ words are fun to monkey...
well..i managed to break 100 words to go....
go, kat, go!
very sad indeed
Wow, kat... see what some rest can do? I am just poking along....
that all I am doing..poking...
lotta weirdo words today..
Random question: Babble is the source of the greatest advice. I get tons of garbage e-mail in my bulk file that I never open... things such as "Crush Alert", "Hot Pix Just For You" and appeals from a Ponzi scheme (my opinion) for safe banking from African nations... How in the world do I get away from all that crapola?
i found tz 7, that was fun. :)
Right, dc!! :-)
is it in your yahoo red?
Yes, kat.
Babblers, I need some advice. I am cutting up my pumpkin and cooking it for future pies. Forgot what to do with the seeds, Any help?
yahoo has screens... an allow list..
never open it, never respond to it, just delete it, it will trickle off. Try to obscure your email addy as much as possible. That's about all you can do, Scarlet.
my daughter switched to gmail because of that, Scarlet.. :-(
Rinse, de-fiber them, let dry, and put in a slow oven with a touch of salt, inge.
gmail's filters are spectacular, i check my spam folder regularly, as sometimes it catches an item i want. Only very rarely does something i don't want end up in my inbox.
thanks scarlet
i use my yahoo acct only when signing up with a site i think may sell my data
I don't get the crap mail cus of filters in "my account settings"
Thank you, kat and dc... I am so afraid of viruses, in spite of certain firewalls.. but I get so fed up with the sexual nature of some of the teaser heads... are our kids subjected to this junk, too?
yup, a spamblocker is important, nowadays
sometimes, scarlet, based on questions i've heard friends' kids ask.
Thank you, all. I will get ambitious with researching my Dell's filters, as well as what this has to offer in terms of protection.
speaking of pumpkins--is there a difference between a pie pumpkin and a carving pumpkin? Are both edible? Good morning all!
Yes, a big difference, Fiber... and good morning!
hi Fiber.. yes, the meat is different
Pie pumpkins are more dense.. the meat is less fibrous and sweeter.
Hello all
fiber, interchangeable, size only difference, really.
Hello, Peri!!
How can you tell? I started to carve one, and my daughter in law said it was a pie pumpkin, so I cooked it. Haven't eaten any yet.
pie ones have a moister, less fibrous flesh, but i've used both in pies and savory dishes with success
they are both edible
I guess it won't kill us then!
hi, peri!
goodmorning all
hi and by all. going to sign my new job contract. see you later.
hi, doxy
For savory, yes... little difference... for pies, the brightly-darker-skinned pumpkins are the ones to look for! Later, doxy and good luck!!
Hi, crpw!!
morning, crpw
Terrific Tues. to you, crpw
Well, then, it was a pie pumpkin, all right. No cooking going on these days, the kitchen is being painted. What a mess.
Slow painter, meticulous to a fault.
Oh, still, Fiber? I would go mildly insane if I were not granted access to my household temple... LOL
beautiful day here is cincinnati,
It's been a WEEK
WKRP./... LOL
ykep
yep
holy cow, i need to look up some of these words.. have never seen them
Hi everyone. Anyone got a clue for the fe7?
lady-like w/out the last cons
wb, hydra
hi hydra, do not have any 7's or the 8 yet
opp of masculine but eliminate a consonant at the end
Is anyone interested in a pumpkin bisque recipe... I can key it in... it calls for calabaza pumpkins... or kabocha pumpkins. Hi, hydra!
Thanks very much!
sounds delish, scarlet.
It is... and rich, too. Cream, butter, leeks, chicken stock...
fireworks and time for some waffles.. will be back later to clue if anyone would like a hint.. bye for now, Babblers!
Do you want me to e-mail it to you, dc? Yahoo for Aloy!
No, can't get it. It's the 7/44, and 3rd letter must be a vowel otherwise it won't fit before the next word. (If you see what I mean!)
hasta, aloyisius
Oh no, I've got it wrong. Sorrreeee!
fe7/44 - not masculine, but fe---------, less the last consonant
:)
Got it now thank, dc
dc can i have some clues 4 the hax3 and the ho please
we are all ho7s, each and every one of us
ho7 - human-like
last he4/6 + not out, plus vowel for 1st 7, plus plural for 2nd
Thank you, Mr. dc!!
ha7/36 is plural of ha6/24, which builds on ha4/6 before in same pattern as the other
was that helpful, cool?
wow, cool, ur up as late as i usually am :)
yes thanks no uni today
gotcha
its 340 in the afternoon here my kids will be home from school shortly so rushing
methinks my brain be addled at this point. i have 9 left, then will sleep
i hate re's...just in case no one ever heard me say that before
*giggle*.... Yes, I think I recall that, vaguely, kat...
how many words total, anyone?
185
185, rich
many are like pulling teeth today, too.
taking a break, right wrist hurting :(
Why, peri?

my dad made the cake, then i had it iced by a professional
wow--go, dad! :-)
is he a professional chef or just handy in the kitchen?
Pretty good, huh?! It had 2 bottles of whisky in t (Scotch that is).
yummmmmmmmm!!!
Just handy in the kitchen, lucky for me!
lucky girl, indeed!
Mum made my dress, my sister did hair and make-up - i was very lucky indeed
that is so cool!
Yeah, everyone pitched in. It was great and actually helped us all get on a bit better than we were before
clue for the 8 please
don't have it yet pab
it's great when talented friends and family donate services!
sure is une, and a whole lot cheaper too!
when my daughter's best friend got married, her grandmother made the cake AND all the bridesmaid's dresses!
Now there's a talented lady!
mi8 is to re5/16 incorrectly
Scarlet, are you here? Sauerbraten recipe is in my bio. Better check it myself first.
thanks for the clue une
thanks Une
gotta run, BBL for last third . . . Happy Babbling!
yw :-)
Bye une
afternoon babblers!
hi Eva
so, anyone know why "hoisin" isnt accepted? is it a proper name?
no idea eva, sorry
ugh, i am so stuck on his grid today - even the list isn't helping much :(
or6 please
i havent had much time to babble today...work is actually making me...WORK!
shocking eva - i would complain if i were you!
how dare they!
really Eva, how dare they interfere with Babble, you MUST complain, LOL
im so busy theres hardly time to complain!
Oh I give up (for now). I'm going to buy some things for dinner - back later, if I can bear it
last or5 please
or + a***eed, weird tasting spice
thanks Ata, fireworks
Good afternoon all - or morning to those across the pond.
hi Haz
i'm not getting the or clue
hi Haz!
how's you and Spangle today?
deb, its an herb that tastes
We're well, just back from a walk. And I was at the hairdressers earlier as well.
sorry, cat interfered, an herb that tastes like licorice
hope it wasn't windy!
ty
It's breezy. But the hairdo is still intactish.
yw
what does the 8 start with?
morning, all...anyone have a clue for the ar 6?
yay! and spaniels somehow always manage to be able to shake and stretch and look back to normal
mi8/60
ar + si4/4, Buttonman
I know, Atalante, unless there's moisture involved somewhere along the line.
much moisture was involved in our walk today, in the shape of the sea
thanks, Padrek
You couldn't get much more moisture than the sea, that's true.
clue for the mi8/60?
It uses the same prefix as mi7 (shortened spinster's address) and would be used talking of someone giving wrong directions, or wrong information.
thanks Haz
You're welcome.
spinster's address? mistress? oy you old bat?
tx haz and good morning (afternoon) all !
1 Disappointment Avenue.
Hello montreal!
how's spangle Haz !
or 1 Party AVenue, hurray no men!
hi montreal
eart
ooops
hi everyone!
Spangle's fine, thanks, montreal - slightly miffed that cats are passing by, she's voicing her indignation.
and rightly so i might add...
well! how dare they!
hi bubble
hi bubble !
And not a cat of glory among them.
even worse. definitely needing barking at
i'm stuck at 96
like your icon Ata...
oh gosh I havent changed it since fish day!
clue for i from left column?
is fish day = Guy Fawkes'day ?
fish day was weeks ago LOL!
im5 - what any of the seven dwarves could reply in answer to 'what do you do?'
im5/12 that is.
thank you
You're welcome.
monkeyed the im 5 - didn't understand the dwarf clue haz...
It's to do with where they work, montreal.
any clues for the i's in the top row?
got it - tx Haz - it's amazing what one can learn in this place...
rome not a word?
Rome is a proper noun with a capital, so is not accepted.
oh, thx haz
in4/4 the hairy nosed dolphin, and there's also ir4/5. It begins like the flower but ends with a different consonant.
in5/12 - type of music, structured like the Asian country but ending in a different vowel.
sorry, i'm new.. whats the 4/5 4/4 etc etc??
changed my icon now :)
in 5/12 ?? errrr
im5/12 - a word beginning with im, five letters long, yielding 12 points (because 5 letters are doubled, 6 letters are trebled) etc. i plus where you dig coal from.
in, first 2 letters, 5 length of word, /12 score value of word
in5/12 - in plus a word for 'to expire' or pass away.
ahhhhhhhh sooooooooo
I like the new icon, Atalante.
thought you would!
oh!
I only just got the icon
?mark, in the list of words you have, in the center box, they list the length and value of the word, Licketys clues give you the first 2 letters of all words
:D
nice Icon bubble
thanx. i'm kind of mucking this out on my own. 'tis my 1st try at this game. working on my english. i have 104 words now
thx
Then you're doing fine, Question.
I do love my little friends
question, Ive been playing for a while and thats better than i ever did
the apes are called bubble and squeak
got a cat named squeek
awwwwww
what are the other 5 called?
I know cats called Squeeker and Squeaker
bubble and squeak. i think i tasted that one time
Is it alchaholic?
bubble and squeak is gorgeous
bear, marmalade, nicky, smudge and gypsy
unless it has sprouts in
its some vegetables?
they are so cool!
And the dog is Shadow
Potatoes and cabbage are the vegetables most often used.
I have a dog called shadow!
a big black labarador
always at your side
I hope it's not called Shadow Wolf...
lol
i dont know what was inside but it was tasty
A labrador with a healthy appetite?
hmmmm.........
ours is a big bovie, thinks the cats are his heard
hi all!
yes! it hardly ever has bubble and squeak
hi t o
hi TO
Hello TO - how are you?
i gotta go guys bye!
hi there TO !
bye bub
Okay bubble - see you again.
oh and ?mark your doin great
later bubble
bb soon...
this cannot be possible to find 80more words
I suppose I should start shuffling in the direction of the kitchen to get the evening meal under way.
QUestion - bear in mind that some of the words are not in normal usage! If you want to get further help, Lickety's list or BJ's list are very helpful. But don't feel you have to finish. This is a tough grid today.
Spangle will thank you. I mean, your husband will thank you
Good afternoon, folks
Hello Takuma.
I think finishing is never imperative
I think we're the silent majority ;)
Not unless you want to be a Babbler of Glory.
lickey's clues can help ?mark, haveing the first 2 letters help alot, many do the first 1/2 without clues , then go to lickety, then ack for clues for the last few
hi Takuma
*gasp* I had no idea there was such a title
there is now!
Oh yes, Takuma, it's eagerly fought over.
is this a more difficult assortment than normal?
Babbler of Glory!!!!
i sort of don't want to look at the clues
looks about average for its size, QM
Yes, Question, there are more strange words than usual, I'd say.
no, always has some words verry obscure
The clues only give second letters and values, you still have to find them.
you get to know the short wierd words after time
interesting game. good for english vocab
Howabout Babbler of Renowned Excellence? Problem is, BOG and BORE don't sound so good....
are you a native speaker, QM?
And you get to know the weird babblers even quicker.
hello everyone -- crashed with 56 to go last night :)
Babbler of Wonderment>?
Yes! Bow down to the BoW. It's a winner.
*smug*
o.O
Off I go, kitchenward. I'll ponder the title question as I cook. Bye for now!
Hmm, Babble Anti-completionist Trophy is perferal, I think
hi-bye haz
byeeeee
bye ata and haz
ciao haz
er preferable
the clues are also the best referance for giving clues in chat, ha 6/24 is fairly specific without saying the word itself, though ther are 2 ha6/24's in today's grid
Darn. I've given Atalante yet more to be smug about....... Byee!
I'm not going!
sorry atta, thought you were going too.
not until I get really annoyed with the puzzle LOL
i live in greece , takuma.
the land fo raki
ah, cool -- it is a great game for vocab
bye haz!
i am thinking raki might help
Raki alway good, but I think counterproductive here
reiki?
raki. a drink. reiki. a massage.
ah ty
High proof, very smooth booze
both very nice however
TA6,21 AND7. TR6 PLZ
I think I want the reikl
*reiki*
you have been here joso? i live on Crete
ta6,21, ta + hello **, + **te time, evening
yes, Father retired to a boat on the med, sailed the Greek Isles for a vaction
fe 7?
ta7, plural
fe+ think fruit tang*****
any clues for the 8?
isn't that the 6/27, esprit?
oops yes
fe7, fe + opp of maxi **** + a vowel
that's a stooooopid word
holy smokes. i came here to learn english.
QM, we only have weird English here, sorry. LOL
8, ***s; single lady + re5/16
ty joso
oh but all the words are used by us all every single day!
they are ????
hi everyone....just popped in for a minute !!
oh I mi8 in my clues all the time
of course karys! as in "d**&&^n enable! mi8 isn't a word!"
hi karys
that's a 7?
well....yes, I suppose you could say that
lol..lol
ok, I'm just making that bit up LOL
thanks for the 8, never would have thought that was a word
man, that 8 letter word is really funny, thank you joso for clue, i would have never gotten that one
yw all
back in a bit
I am not understanding the mi8 clue
will be back later. mi8 - mi + curve letter + re5 meaning to direct towards
ah tyvm
yw. *poof*
or 6?
bye doxy
or6 - like the o5 cnan, another babblet
ty, atalante -- forgot that one!
the or5 above it
1st fe6-30 please
fe + not less -- change last vowel
fe6/30 - Latin pl of thigh bone
ty vicuna and cybernan
Artist of the day today is Miro.
was just baout to say that I loved your icon!
Mine, Ata? It's called "Cat Attack!"
its FAB!
Oh, a little refreshing and I see that you have a very funny icon yourself, today.
We're obviously doing a mini cat theme, here.
*not* my own work LOL but so funny
True of me, and doubly true of some others in in the chat!
triply even I think ;)
lol
You were away with your sister a few days ago?
yup, went up to do a week's looking after :)
How is she doing?
she's been desperately needing a blood transfusion for weeks and she's finally getting it tomorrow, so things are looking up!
Oh, I'm glad to hear it!
me too! she was *not* well last week. its scary, you pinch her fingertips and no blood flows back
Not a good sign. After the transfusion, how long-term a fix is that?
Afternoon all........ Ata sorry to hear your sister isnt well
a few months. she needs one every 2 or 3 months at the moment
its a very long and ongoing story, cait!
That's hard. It seems as if you don't get much relief in between getting one and starting to worry about when the next will come.
re 6 (first one)?
I have been in and out quickly lately so havent had time to chat Ata
My first is re6/27 - marijuana or tropical coral resident, but I'm missing lots still
there's one before that vicuna -- following what you do with a book
no, vi. its not fun. the problems come because she's so hard to get a transfusion into (she ends up with a central line each time) that her drs try to focus all their work on her at time of transfusions. and that just went haywire this time, whih led to such a big delay
I'm looking, cyber!
Hi nan use the first 3 letters of the 1st re4 and add a drop of the hard stuff!!
that doesn't sound good Atalante -- sorry to hear it
That stinks.
Does she live near you Ata?
ty cait -- we've had that before too -- must be wearing out that fish!
YW nan
she lives about 3 hours drive away, not far luckily
Does she live alone most of the time?
no, she can't live on her own now. She lives with mother
That's good. I mean, not that she can't, but that she has someone to live with.
Its so worrying for you all ..
oh yes. its sad though, she's really coming to realise now that she *can't* manage without help. Its sad
Do you know what her illness is..dont worry if you dont want to say
That is very tough. It adds so much emotional frustration on top of the physical frustration.
sr 6?
oh, its Crohns with a huge variety of side-effects on top. It seems to be attacking pretty much everything in her body, rather randomly. Bones, muscles, organs, you name it
Hi Amanda! Hi Matt :)
Thats a tough thing to live with ..
very. I dont know how she does it
i am at odd with the grid today...or more specifically, with enable! is "hoisin" a proprer noun? as in "hoisin sauce" and what about "smore" -- i know ive been able to eat just one! ;)
And tough for you and the rest of the family, too, of course. Hang in there.
oh we do. we're "used" to it now, it;s just a fact of life
Enable's selection of foreign words is so arbitrary, EvaN!
nan thats tough to clue but here goes...sr plus the letters for after Christ and add a short laugh
and mirin should be allowed too!
Hi Eva
smore is s'more ( some more) :)
I was thinking that if there are diarists, don't they believe in diarism?
oops
nope, just verbal diarrhoea
Thanks, Caitlyn.
carra -- i poo on that! i never spelled it that way...hehe
ty -- no def, of course!
Phew I wasnt sure about that one so yw
*!* ta da *!* -- thanks for the help :)
Congrats nan!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to cybernan?
Have a bunch of work to do on one of my websites, so have to babble and run -- back at the flip.
ty vicuna
thank you for the sr clue caitlyn, pretty good clue

fa6 = fa + 1 of the great lakes
it looks like the leg bone crp... or a man's hat. Start with first three letters of the words around it...
thanks Montreal
yw mom
oh crp... I thought you asked for the fe 6... the first fa 6 is a sort of old fashioned way to spell what tinkerbell was
or what montreal clued
back to the fe 6: fe + consonant + d*** the explorer
Stid, I was looking for a clue for what yo cound by yourself. but I will take any and all clues.
and I still need the fa 5 after the "little people" word...
thanks Stid and Montreal

denis
not quite merylle, in the other box, and change the last letter.

I am stumped by what I assume is a fishy OR 5/10...
rofl rofl
it's hard to type when i'm laughing
parrot is in kitchen yelling " whats going on- whats happeniing - iwant to go outside" much easier just to cook him
LOL bethn - whre in nj?
sounds like your bird and my dog have a lot in common, bethn... he's over there whining and looking at me with sad eyes...
or ,hump and it **n't raining
do you have kids, beth? or did you cook them as well? *smile*
hope that helps stid,not a very good clue!
thanks again lilliann
combining a cat and a parrot should give you a carrot, no ??
I am trying to finish before I go get the kid -- half days at one kid's school for conferences.
did not cook them my mom alway said when they're little just eat them when their bones are tender :}
good one mont!

okay, re + the elemental symbol for iron + consonant; means to send someone to another person, like how a doctor can re*** you to a specialist
you can plural the re 5/16 too. anyway, the mi 8 is MI*s (not MRS or MS) + re 5/16

aahh, sesame paste!
Yep! Hi, Une... great afternoon here for voting! Nippy, clear and the sky is crystal blue!
ty, never would have monkeyed that
same here, scarlet--gorgeous! BUT am pooped from hauling all my plants into the garage--couple of nites of freezes on their way . . .
we got some wonderful rain last nite . . . did you, scarlet?
Oh, I know what you mean, Une... I dug up the gardens this last weekend, and the battle was cutting down all the twisted (zillions) vines from the monster morning glories... taking pots to the basement... shovelling...etc. Yes, a bit of blessed rain... at last! Not enough, though
I have saved enough marigold and morning glory seeds to plant the parkway into Georgia!! LOL
Come to Scotland and get all the rain you want!
sell 'em on Ebay and make some Xmas money! LOL
yeah, I know, youngster, your part of the world has had major rain the last few months, but here it's a recordbreaking drough
Well, youngster... I would absolutely love to go to Scotland... we are never satisfied with our own weather, are we? Great idea, Une... if I had a clue!!
*drought
youngster, Une and I live in neighboring states in the southern U.S.A., and we are suffering a Biblical lack of water....
the only time I went to Scotland was back around 1970 and it was snowing in July!
Hello!
snowing in July? I don't remember that, but I could believe it
Yikes... there's that word again... I heard that some states were already bracing for a foot... Scrabbler said her neck of the woods is ready... (UpState New York).
Scarlet, I'll send you some
Hi, peri!
we were hitching, arrived in Edinburgh and made a beeline to Marks & Spencer for sweaters! LOL
hey, peri :-)
I just placed an ad in Tails Magazine to advertise my
Animal Reiki pracice
your tail???
aahhh
lol - understandable!
:-)
LOL... I hope it yields some clients for you, peri!
LOL... Une, you're baaaaddddd.
thanks Scarlet, I hope so too
scarlet, I just glanced at marigold seeds on Ebay--selling at $2.00 for a package of 25 . . .
I still have 63 little critters to find hiding in this grid...it's an odd one today, isn't it?
40 left here
not playing Fowl Words today, trying to give my right wrist a rest
56 here . . .
Holy Cow, Une... I literally have thousands from the pods... they are the French Variety and grow into a very thick stem that gets about two and a half feet high...
With a profusion of hardy flowers... deep rust with golden/pumpkin hues... gorgeous.
see what I mean . . .?
you're sitting on a gold mine, woman!
Peri, I'm still worried about your wrist... did you hurt it, or is this "normal" for you?
clue for fe5,18 please
LOL, Une... I bet the postage and handling would cost more than the actual seeds, though...
Wonder if I can sell my zinnia seeds! I have enough of them.
no I did not hurt it and no it is not normal for me. had tendonitis on the other side of same wrist 7 years ago. this feels the same way
purchaser pays shipping!
Physicist, Enrico FE***
af5,16 either, please
not hurting at the moment though
Hi Bubba!

Yes, jilli.. think of eagles...

Are you leaving too Scarlet? Did you get the recipe?
Like Grand Central Station, as one train leaves another arrives
No, inge... I'm here at a very slow and happy pace... Oh, the recipe? Wonderful. Thank you so much. I will copy it right now!@ I can't wait to try the authentic German version!
One German cookbook says to cook soup greens with the roast. I just threw in some fresih parsley
I started with a three pound roast, so we have three more meals in the freezer now
I usually use parsley with everything, inge. I just read it, and I don't know what a spice corn is?
Maybe some celery tops, too. That recipe sounds like the "real thing"... I am so happy you gave me your mother's own creation...
And your lantern is from Finland... awwww... *HUGS to you, inge!!*
hi all
HI, angelinaxox!!
ag 5,16 please
Sounds as though it a belief against older people, bubba.
Thanks Scarlet!!
:-)
Oh man..did anyone just see Oprah?
No... what was on, Krista?
no, i don't have it on
4 left and fading fast, or6,21 please
It was so cool. They had the couple on from you tube that did the Dirty Dancing ending dance scene at their wedding reception. They were dancing and they had Patrick Swayze come out and cut in with the woman as a surprise.
Guess you'd have to like that movie to appreicite it. :)
apprecite, even
sounds cool, i love that movie
oh my...third time is the charm..appreciate
NM, got the or 6
Bubba, it sounds like a brand of frozen potato products.
Thaks Scarlet
Sorry I was late on the uptake, bubba! You're welcome, any way!
scarlet i wasn't fast enough too, i didn't even finish typing in a clue lol
sr6 please
i don't have that one
someone clued that this morning: sr + **vertisement + short laugh (2 letters)
thanks inge, new one for me
Thanks Inge, would never have monkeyed that word
SR + don't be M** at me, Bubba... + wear a **t on your head!
yw, new one for everyone I think.
Much better clue, Inge2!!
Thanks Scarlet
Afternoon all-anyone have the or5/10-last or word. I'm going cross-eyed trying. Thanks--
hi Scarlet :-)
Now a moment of silence for the weirdest word of the week!! Hi, I-2!!
lol
yes, a moment of silence before we bury it in infamy
lol!
Finally, finshed!!
Congrats, Bubba, person of mystery
congrats bubba
Well done, bubba... *Pins Purple Heart on Left Chest* for conquering this whacko grid!
a great achievement, today, bubba
or + consonant + I am he/she **
or + single hump letter + word that means to be
I am just too tired to face the beast. Back to work. Later!
some strange words, which I wil probably never use or even want to use
bye inge
Person of mystery, eh? Hmmm , why then, does bubba say "Hi, Krista"... ? I was an investigative reporter in the old days!@!
Thank you both so very much! It was my last word, too, so you helped me get the fireworks. You're both wonderful.
Because I am always teasing Bubba about his/her "revealing" profile. :)
congrats scribe
Then you aren't THE Krista? LOL Well done scribe!!
Krista had commented that I put too much info in my bio, so I wanted to be less verbose, so the reference to Krista was added
LOL... good ones, bubba and Krista... you are so yakky, bubba... LOL
Hi all, back to find my last 28
hi peri
Well, human being DOES overdo it a bit, bubba!!
I said Bubba better be careful about revealing all that personal info. I love reading the profiles..there is such a variety of what people want to share.
Maybe I should just delete all reference to my species?
Hi Peri
Too late! We already have a clue, bubba!
You are making a major assumption, I have been called things that would put a doubt on my species
Since I don't have the most complete bio on the site, I am open to answer whatever you want to know
LOL, Krista... I do, too. People are very interesting creatures... Sorry to hear that, bubba... HO7/40 close enough for you, then? LOL
I'd ask you to share, Bubba, but I'm sure that's out of the question. ;)
oh, maybe not
Age, what medical school, field of specialty, and color of eyes...
shoot Krista, give me a question
eyes: Hazel, school NY Medical College, specialty: orthopedic surgery
Contrary to my joking around,I really don't like to pry.
Do your patients call you Bubba?
Hi everyone xx
What a guy! Thank you, Bubba!! Do you come from a large or small family, and what do the siblings think of your profession?
Hey Mom
hi all.....sm5/12...clue please?
Hi Krista :)
hi mom
Hi Flask
LOL.. Krista, I hope and pray not! Hi, Mom!
Hi Angelina :)
Hi Scarlet :)
Scarlet, why do you assume I am a man?
Hello dear Flask. Put a SM*** of cream cheese on your muffin!
Need to see what the theme is today...sick of looking at my squirrel...I didn't assume..learned my lesson on that
Sorry, bubba... I call my sisters "guys" too...not a sexist pigeonhole!
Hi Scarlet dear! thanks for the clue
Welcome, oh, breath of Scotland!!
Talk to you tomorrow, got to run! Have a good night all
Bubba.....you and I could have crossed paths in another lifetime.......I have had many orthopeadic ops...am a Polio Survivor!
good night Bubba
'Bye, bubba! Thank you for the good humor!
Bye Bubba. Thanks for being a good sport,if not a human.
bye bubba
LOL, Krista... you can be merciless sometimes and I am still laughing!
If I try "smore" one more time, I'd like a fish-bashing, please!
Oh, me? Merciless? Never. Glad to make you chuckle, tho.
hullo all, has everyone voted?

ok, star wars fans out there, i need help!
hi feather....
i'm printing pictures of the kids at school and typing what they were for halloween. i had one who was wearing brown robes, and he told me he was something that sounded like jawa. what's he saying?
does anyone have the ar5,10 ???
Yoda
feather, yoda
jawa is right
ar 4,4 plus another vowel
or maybe Jabba the Hut
oh thanks angelina
Jabba wasn't wearing robes
no, i know yoda, that wasn't it. not jabba either. jawa? is that how it's spelled mrp?
or maybe a jedi
Jawas have long been scavengers, as the Dune Sea provides a bounty of refuse. It is littered with derelict spacecraft wreckage from millennia of star travel. The Jawas have built homes and tools from these ancient scraps, and travel the dunes in sandcrawlers, cast-off mobile smelters from failed outlander mining attempts.
they wear brown robes and have their faces masked
somebody is quite the Star Wars expert
awesome, that answered my next question: what the heck is a jawa! lol, thanks so much!
lol
I stand corrected....she googled it.....
http://www.starwars.com/databank/speci es/jawa/?id=eu
k peeps, time to go vote. see you later!

bye temple
yup, that's what he looked like! thanks!

His parents went back to the base hotel to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary a few years back.

hurshy killed a car? (sorry just got here)
hi shdy!
Hi, shdy
you didn't kill it, whatever you hit killed it
hi jellen, fran, hurshy, evan
but the reason i hit what i hit was because i was stupid and then panicked
poor little car. i said goodbye and sorry to it today.

well hey, if you wanna take the blame take it, but i'm all for blaming the innocent...i blame my husband for everthing.
looking at map while driving = stupid

anyone else inthe US have the most anticlimatic underpublicized election day today? Here in Beantown, I got to "vote" for the uncontested city councilor, and four of 6 or 7 to be "at large." I don't vote in uncontested, so I wrote in a candidate, and I didn't like most of the at large possibilities. OK, done venting
i said, didn't i? that i am still a bit sore but otherwise ok
Hi, Hursh! Like carlee, I have also been thinking of you...
beth, you need to save a .jpg file (from google images) to your C: drive. Make a folder and call it babble pics. Then go to "My Account" above, and click on the icon box where it says "edit" on the left side of the page. Select the bottom option, where you upload an image from your drive, click browse and then highlight the pic you want and hit enter. A message should come on saying you have successfully uploaded. Hit refresh, then return to the puzzle.
if u did..i must have missed it..am sorry

I have no idea who Alex trewhatsit is.. I only see Jason Momoa. LOL.
hahaha herin - i thought you said you had to rodeo the laundry
LOL jac!
last two 'ag' words?
well rennie, sometimes it does get out of control.. :-)
Ren this machine is not off kilter and vibratie
fe7?
Jeopardy is something one can learn from. Alex Trebek, the erudite host, is Canadian.
mom, outdoor market, think of fear of open spaces, ag***phobia
then ag6 is its latin plural
fe7 = femle word minus last consonant.
why did i know you would mention that jilli. ;-)
I still prefer my SR clue -- sr + publicity + half a laugh
moo, opp of masculine, but leave off a consonant at the end
tx jac
fireworks
<VBG> fran
yay moo!!!!
that's a great clue jilli
YAY moo!
Yay for moo!!
in fact jilli, i was going to mention it first but you beat me to it (the fact the AT is Canadian)
Well done, moo.
fran -- remember the contortions about that last night?
no, i came in at the tail end of it jilli, after the definition was posted.
Oh thanks, fran -- we get SOOOO overlooked!
i had been distracted by dancing with the stars
Before it gets to a tusle on here, does anyone need any more clues?
it's because you guys just blend in so well with the Americans. :-)
yes -- love that show
*tussle, I meant.
hi jac, me luv
awesome pumpkin jac
I knew you meant tussle :D
Pirate, Cap'n Jack pumpkin, Fran.
That's what I wanted Ren or Nut in here for now! I remember. LOL
oh yes, jac -- wonderful!
well rennie saw it. :-)
Did she, Fran?
Keep it until they show up, at least, and rerun it next Talk Like A Pirate Day!
yup, she's here right now and she commented on it.
And where did you find it?
LOL, jilli. I'll save in in my pics.
Must have misssed that, Fran. chat is lagging big time here.
moi, je suis un peu tiddly après un peu de vin :)
Some kind of kiids make it for yourself site, as I recall, jilli.
How much is un peu. jilli?
can i have some jilli? or did you finish it all?
5 does it for me!
comment, jolie jacqueline?
Yah Moo
brb, have to get something out of the oven
But... the older you get the harder it is to 'recover'.:(((
I wish to say I am sorry I am not chatty at the moment
2 glasses of red, après deux vod on rox
quel dommage, herin!
Red's an entirely different matter, jilli. That stuff makes you wake up with a tongue made of leather.
jac is preaching again <vbg>
how many fingers of vodka jilli?
I think my tongue is made of leather anyway ;)
A good Irish dose of 3
i used to drink like a fish, can't do it anymore, one glass of wine and my head is spinning.
While Fran is getting her bun out of the oven, and Jilli's to p*ssed to care anyway... LOL (re preaching again) HIC! Does anyone need a clue or two?
dunno, fran. I fill a short glass to the rim with ice, and pour the vodka over it to about a half inch below the top.
woo! no wonder you're a little tiddly. :-)
Im am NOT p*ssed, just happy-go-lucky
lol my mum always says she's not drunk, just merry
Were as i just dont give a shit
Of course you are not, jilli! Perish the thought!
i'm x's asin xanexed
Aw, herin (I've decided to call you Lady as long as you behave like one) -- whassamatter? B/f being bad?
herin - I often don't give a sh*t either.
I particularly don't give a sh*t right now :)
Opps no not b..f i just put out to pasture a 4 or 5 year long friendship
Moves over for jilli/herin chat.
Stop borgarting the booze
Is anybody trying to finish this horror at this point?
Is there any Gh words?

i've been done for a while jilli
Party yes
I'm still trying with the grid jilli, don't like it much thuogh

i'm also trying to make a move in scrabulous in my game against ping, not having much luck

Ok what is the other GH please i have the butter
hey sunny
fa5/20 -- the Dickens baddie
HI Sunny no not really bad day.

Thanks
So., some of us finished, otther have not. But we've all had a bad day of sorts.
and here I've decided to call you Lady
bad for you, jac?
wow i have only got to 112 left to find

Yah Jess how are the puppies?
Nod, jac (lol)
pretty goo
d
Yah any more escape attempts?
i like goo better it fits the mood
nope

heheh.
crud -- awful rubbish on TV -- must eliminate it
Whatever! Bad day! GET OVER IT! We all have to do that. Jumping off something is NOT the nswer and usually includes someone else who will be traumatised by that. Next time one of you terminally suicidal lot think of jumping out after 3rd lorry you see leaving depot, pleas DO N'T!
well i've been veeerrryyyy relaxed lately and it all has to do with no kids sleeping in my bed and plenty of ....... maybe that's too much info :)
Yah Sunny
fireworks, finally

Yay, eieios!!!
yay eieios!!!
If you had aany idea what damage you'd caused to the driver of lorry no.3 (when you fina;;;y got the courage to end your life) YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE DONE IT.
woo hoo sunny!
Jac what are you on about?
i must have missed something. who's throwing themselves at cars?
jac, that's awful
wow jac sounds like you've had a terrible day
and you're right, they should have thought about that
that's just it jac - they don;t think about anyone except their own personal jones

Jac hugs but i may have skipped a page
momo, villain from oliver twist and plural
fa5/20, fa + *** & tonic
There again, I've researched you... you were determined to die for a very long time, weren't you? I hope, after my other halff's lorry squashed you, after he did all in his power to stop it, that you ar in helll? I'm hoping to stamp on you and punch you for all the damage you did not only to us but to your family, you selfish sod!

OH oh oh oh Jac oh
tks - finally got it. FIREWORKS!
Jac, did this happen??? when?? omg
That's my |Other Half's story 0 that's what keeps his teeth grinding, him snoring, tossing and turning etc.

That's why I ppear at odd times here, aside from my own issues.
yay momo!!!
Blloody selfish man!
((((mistress)))) ((((paul)))
sunny - 5 years' ago now - but a driver never gets over that.
Hugs the Jac
Jac we all love you even if you're odd at times
*slides jac a mug of catnip and chamomile tea*
I can't even begin to imagine his nightmares, but also for you to try and cope with his emotional stress must make for some REALLY bad days.
If I'd been pertinent enough to do a film flicking between P and his Mum then Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody might do it.
I'm speechless, jac (thank goodness, you say?)
kth, you got it, lol
http://www.playbabble.com/
kth _ If I'm odd at times, then I celebrate that.
my leg hurts
I think
we celebrate all the oddities of life yippeeee i owe!! and hurting legs - we say - don;t hurt!!!
Can I heal it for you, jilli?
OOO, ren -- what a beautiful icon!
yes, jac, if you stop pulling it

I've been a teenaged dirtbag all my life. Old schooll friend said that in her e-mail to all us old girls - she finally got her first book published... her take on it was how to be an instant success in 50 years.
Wow! I just popped in for a minute or two while working on a newsletter--feels like I just stumbled onstage in the midst of a Beckett play.
i love silly and billy goat gruff
I am 80 and ditto about the dirtbag
This chat is always interesting!

The video did not work at all

BB i ahve 101 left bothering
was it the one with the polar bears?
Bother i forgot to mention that to Mr Pres
hello chic
HI CHic
bb, what ever today's was supposed to be...
I was told the video was no longer available, boo hoo. It was spriote's choice and I bet it was a good one.
hi herin
sprite's
same here, jilli..
i didn't get the video to play however there was a "ghost" image of a mum and cub polarbear
Hi Chic. Sometimes youtube has a clean up and they delete good videos
I didn't even get a ghost
I should go and do the dished before the flip -- back soon
i have no attention span today
dishes
bb at the flip...
so relax, lady!
I am
well chic I was in Tucson last week hauling horses to the fairgrounds.
and then on Saturday did a turn around as hubby bought a vespa and we needed to come and get it.
I could run off to a horse ranch right about now
had a very good ride on Filly today herin. quite nice actually.
still bloody hot though
what temp is hot? i can convert
it was in the mid 90s today.
which is about 15 degrees hotter than normal for November
eww dont like that kind of hot
it isn't hot like summer hot but still not what you expect in the fall
if that makes any sense at all
dont like that kinda hot i handle about 20 degress hot and tats about it
23f here right now...cold and windy
Hi dart and thats like freezing
hi dart!
hi herin dc bb jilli all
hi fran
I am happy at aabout 73 F over that nah ah
dart you are at about -6c
should have cut the grass one last time and picked up leaves on Sun...by mon we had a high of 38f and about a 40 mph wind all day
i would much rather be hot than cold. I can always strip naked.......can never get warm enough when its cold
lol
but then I am a desert rat
I hate below 10 C brrrrh
herin 73 is lovely but if it was that temp here year round, it would be waaaaaaaaay over crowded.
forgot to mention snow flurries off and on during the day
Keeps the tourists away right BB?
Fran is laughing at all of us in her island paradise
used to but they come in droves now anyway
don't know where they think the water is going to come from.
MMM under ground or about BB?
we are pumping prehistoric aquifers now....it is a DESERT folks. why do you need the bloody golf courses and fake lakes?!?!?!
BB that kind of thing shts me to tears
and they just keep on coming. the sonoran desert is the youngest desert in the world, very alive and vibrant....and they rip it out and put subdivisions in.
wait for the baby-boomers to start retiring and moving S
WHAT???? RUDE
oh well, off my soapbox. it hasn't done me any good so far anyway.
BB that soap box is ok
the sonoran desert runs down to Baja, Mexico so we even have whales in our desert. it ends just to the north of where I live.
ok
where chic lives is pretty damn beautiful too.
bb -- you're in AZ?
where does chic live?
I love heat -- we don't get enough here
yes. i live in the phoenix metro area. am a native 5th generation in arizona. my girls are 6th
I have friends who winter in Tucson, summer in BC
chic lives in tucson which is south towards mexico from where i live and a bit higher in elevation so the vegetation is even prettier
i hear that bc is fantastic. i have never been
my in-laws live in Silver City NM...just across the border from tucson
other friends in NJ who used to winter in Tucson but are now too old to face the drive
only have been to calgary
never been outside of AUs
I love BC
well, my part of BC, which has a climate similar to NC
and i have never been to AUS. am eager to visit. have a brother in law who immigrated to New Zealand so that will be the opportunity to visit both I hope
I have never been to Aus, although my grandparents were Aussies. See my icon
it looks squished :)
I love the aussies and the kiwis. they both remind me of folks from the southwest
Yes, unfortunately, it's squished -- don't know how to unsquish it!
or at least the folks that i have had the opportunity to meet
dart -- you so know about clicking on the icons to get a profile?
yes
i had australian money when i was a kid, it's the currency used in Nauru and we went there in '72.
uno minuto
good evening all :)
hello nan
little did i know i would meet the relative of someone on a bill one day.
hi nan
dart -- you babble like a superpro -- when are you going to go pro so we can knwo you?
hi nan!
great icon nan! i like watching it too
not sure...do you lose your stats?
fran, I was surprised too when mrp told me!
no dart, you just get the tile and word stats and the ability to post a profile and picture
hi y'all from Utah!
I don't think so dart, but I don't care about stats
i don't think so. why would you
dart, you mean your rankings right?
