1:15 am

I don't think I have it anymore, have to catch her on yahoo messenger maybe

1:18 am

well, I'm over halfway

1:18 am

i can't find the second re 9... yet...

1:18 am

37 to go and crashing --- *poof*

1:18 am

is this place full of tangleworders?

1:19 am

getting to be jilli...lol

1:19 am

i never played tangleword, nor had heard of it until recently.

1:19 am

what is tangleword

1:19 am

night nan, you fast woman, you, lol!

1:19 am

g'night nan

1:19 am

but we're all friendly gaming people

1:19 am

hi everyone! got knocked off the internet, cable company had no explanation!

1:19 am

night nan!

1:20 am

wb, fran

1:20 am

I think one should say what WAS tangleword -- no?

1:20 am

tangleword was a grid like this....only smaller and you had 2 minutes to find all the words you could, against many other players

1:20 am

volleymom/helenkeller/myself/ossiea/ba nanafour/ariesbc/firemanrfdny/ squidsink and a few i cant think of now

1:20 am

oh okay what was tangleword?

1:20 am

like boggle I bet

1:20 am

same size as this nana....5 X 5

1:20 am

volleymomdee plays also

1:20 am

flosey too

1:20 am

oh duh, you said her. :-)

1:20 am

I hate the pressure of a time limit, which is why I love babble

1:20 am

this just seems larger for some reason

1:21 am

2 minutes is not that long of time

1:21 am

new glasses? lol

1:21 am

and you could rotate the grid to see it from all sides, that was a nice feature

1:21 am

lol, i need new glasses, can't see anything

1:21 am

what happened, did tangleword go kaput?

1:21 am

what happened to it?

1:22 am

flosey played tangleword? I didn't think so -- bridge and babble as far as I know

1:22 am

iwin.com just cancelled it and all of their other classic games

1:22 am

ha ha dart! (nana did say you were a brat) :-)

1:22 am

might be a different flosey

1:22 am

that happened to me with atari and boggle too

1:22 am

2 minutes...same as this....1 pt for a 4 letter word...2 pts for a 5 letter word etc....1 bonus pt if you get the word before anyone else does.....about a minute break between games...then another 2 minute games.....20 per hour or so....it was fun...taught you to look fast lol

1:22 am

lol fran

1:22 am

brb

1:22 am

i don't have enough time for babble let alone any other games!!

1:23 am

there is weboggle that is similar

1:23 am

sounds too competitive -- again, I like babble because it's cooperative

1:23 am

hi MVA

1:24 am

hello, mva

1:24 am

i agree jilli

1:24 am

is there a small clue available on the or 7 or is it an 8?

1:24 am

bedtime here - may be back early tomorrow but will be off island most of the day

1:24 am

goodnight all

1:24 am

you would get a ranking...that would go up or down....depending on how you scored...and how everyone else playing that particular games scored....you could also chat to someone in a private window....or public to all like this chat here

1:24 am

flosey -- did you ever play tangleword?

1:25 am

i noticed Sprite's been MIA for a few days. Is all right w/her that yall know?

1:25 am

1:57 am

Hi DC! have you been away again?

1:57 am

hi again dc!

1:57 am

i was away last weekend, then a bit erratic this week.

2:07 am

darn, i guess gortex is a brand name

2:08 am

and gorhen is a phantom

2:08 am

Hi Ata!

2:09 am

darn, i miss the bloody chicken!

2:09 am

okay. just enrolled in my 1st uni class in 16 years.

2:09 am

congratulations dc!

2:09 am

yes, gortex is a brand name - i tried it too.

2:10 am

whatcha gonna study dc?

2:10 am

5 credits of arabic, meeting MW 15:30 to 17:50.

2:12 am

are you ever going to use all the languages you have to earn a living DC? you seem to have so many

2:13 am

i wonder when we'll find out what books we need. 435.50 is the cost. When list a was enrolled 5 credits would have cost 100.00. academic costs have gone up ridiculously through the years.

2:14 am

i actually use more than a few of them in my job, and have learned some Dutch and Swedish and Icelandic because of my jobs. I've used Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Chinese, French and German fairly regularly.

2:14 am

"iterator" is not in the dictionary?!?

2:14 am

phantom: trattoria

2:15 am

atbash, you will come to grok and love the quirks of Enable. :)

2:15 am

lynxxx, that was the first word i tried

2:16 am

atbash..but you can find the 9 using the same words

2:16 am

letters

2:17 am

thanks for the hint Rolin

2:17 am

rolin, yeah, already got those 54 points :)

2:17 am

me too

2:17 am

thanks rolin, that was my last 9. :-)

2:18 am

np fran...its my only one so far

2:18 am

let me know if you want stats for the other 2

2:18 am

i was about to say that, fran :)

2:19 am

:-)

2:20 am

i would have just said what they were, but i didn't want lynxxx to yell at me. :-D

2:20 am

if any of you play bridge, you may find this of interest: http://tinyurl.com/yu5emd

2:20 am

hang on to that for jilli dc, she went to bed already.

2:21 am

(and I know you really wouldn't lynxxx) :-)

2:21 am

right. catch her tomorrow

2:21 am

OK OK so I shouldn't have said anything about that list!

2:22 am

ROFL, i just thought that whole thing was funny, i didn't for one minute think you were really mad.

2:22 am

hello everybody. 97 to go.

2:22 am

hi bb!

2:22 am

Hi bbnaz!

2:22 am

hello, bb!

2:22 am

i have yet to come across any 9s

2:23 am

how about any of you?

2:23 am

just one here

2:23 am

any clues for the sy?

2:23 am

if you scroll down a bit, rolin gave a good hint for one

2:23 am

last word for me

2:24 am

KT, computer lingo

2:24 am

Hi Knight!

2:24 am

the sy*tem **erator

2:24 am

the sy is not a word in my brain, but an acronym, thoug i remembered to enter it today.

2:24 am

oh no, say it aint so

2:24 am

i always thought it was an acronym too

2:25 am

TY Fran

2:25 am

i actually had that job back 25 years ago

2:25 am

i'm willing to say it is so

2:25 am

yw lynxxx!

2:25 am

KT, i think you said that the last time it was in the grid, some words just get blocked out. :-)

2:25 am

and congrats Knight!

2:25 am

yes rolin that was an excellent clue

2:26 am

so now i have one 9

2:26 am

wow, true

2:26 am

to me it is not a word, but an acronym

2:26 am

yep, but i'll remember it if enable thinks it's a word. :-)

2:27 am

bb, do you want stats for the other two 9s?

2:27 am

i'm w/fran on that one.

2:29 am

oh yeah, yay KT!!!

2:30 am

congrats, knight!

2:30 am

got so lost on the silliness of the word, forgot your victory :)

2:30 am

that or8 is weird

2:31 am

not yet but thanks Fran. I am lost within the hunt for words still.......

2:31 am

cool bb

2:31 am

i don't have that one yet dc, looking now

2:32 am

found another 9!

2:33 am

go bb go!!

2:34 am

yay bb

2:34 am

how many points is that or8 dc?

2:35 am

woo hoo! found the ar8

2:35 am

40

2:36 am

thanks ata, just found it!

2:37 am

and the male version is a phantom. :-)

2:37 am

very strange word!

2:38 am

it doesn't quite roll off the tongue, no wonder we don't use it

2:40 am

found another 9 similar to a word yesterday

2:41 am

yay lynxxx!

2:42 am

well done, lynxxx

2:43 am

99 left. back later!

2:44 am

bye ata!

2:44 am

bye Ata

2:46 am

re7.36 anyone yet?

2:46 am

bb, shave some cheese off the block again

2:47 am

tyvm fran! finished those pesky re words

2:47 am

wow! wtg bb

2:50 am

and your turn, fran :P *really goes*

2:51 am

hee, bye ata!

2:52 am

ha! that brat plays a bingo and then runs. :-)

2:52 am

*the echo of mad giggles fades*

2:53 am

LOL

2:53 am

I left you a nice triple though :P *really REALLY goes*

2:53 am

and don't think i'm not taking advantage of it. :-)

2:54 am

those 1st re words are largely odd

2:55 am

like the ones who raise things?

2:55 am

babies in particular

2:57 am

ah, verb, not noun. Okay. not so odd then. :)

2:58 am

:-)

2:58 am

i do that with the word deash, i always think it rhymes with leash

2:59 am

deash parses right in my head for some reason. It annoys me that retar is not accepted. we retar roofs here all the time, at least in the city.

3:00 am

and of course i try it every time, like today again. :-)

3:01 am

me too :)

3:01 am

for hope springs eternal, at least for optimistic me

3:01 am

retare is anther one. One retares a scale.

3:01 am

you never know when dr_g is going to update the dictionary...someday it might work

3:02 am

true. otoh, for what we pay, i've not really any complaints

3:02 am

and why wouldn't the one who does it be a word?

3:03 am

retarrer, retarer. hm. who knows

3:06 am

that ro8 isn't part of the vocab here - we call them circles

3:07 am

hmm, don't have that one yet, looking

3:07 am

got it!

3:07 am

we had one in Guam

3:08 am

one?

3:08 am

yes, one! :-)

3:08 am

*blinks bewilderedly*

3:08 am

it has the archbishop flores' statue in the middle

3:08 am

we're litteed with them here. they baffle the tourists who try to drive in the city.

3:09 am

was he one of the early spaniard's there?

3:09 am

if you think about it, Guam's roadways were relatively new, especially compared to DC

3:09 am

i giggled the when i learned the language is called Chamorro.

3:09 am

no, he was the first Chamorro Archbishop, he died in the 90s

3:10 am

when the roads were built, streetlights for intersections were already in use

3:10 am

why did you giggle dc?

3:10 am

morning all how are u

3:10 am

that word means 'shorn' in Spanish.

3:10 am

hi cool!

3:10 am

morning, cool. I'm well, and you?

3:11 am

oh! well, that is funny!

3:11 am

made me wonder if it were a coincidence, or a spanish discriptor naturalized.

3:11 am

it's also the name of the people, they were probably named by the spanish.

3:11 am

Hi Cool - no flag etc yet?

3:12 am

my tartan and ur purple are comlpementary.

3:12 am

Magellan was the first European to arrive on Guam

3:12 am

that's right! no wonder cool didn't ask for the stats, she has them!

3:13 am

oh, right, i'd forgotten about that.

3:14 am

i haven't found a word that inspires me to get a clue icon yet.

3:14 am

very well i seem to be on a winning streak at the moment i entered a comp to win an i pod system a couple of months ago and won and then i entered another one to win family tickets to a show and won that in forty years ive never been lucky and now 2 at once

3:14 am

awesome cool, time to buy a lottery ticket perhaps?

3:14 am

quick quick - buy a lottery ticket - ggod luck supposed to run in 3s

3:15 am

i third that!

3:15 am

fran...could i have the re\=cheese clue again pls

3:15 am

lynxxx, i was about to mention the 3 thing!!

3:15 am

they say it happens in threes how do i get a picture on my name

3:16 am

rolin, shave cheese off a block or take the zest off a lemon again

3:16 am

go to my account, and add it, either from a URL or upload

3:16 am

there's a word other than zest for that?

3:16 am

well, it's what you do to get the zest

3:16 am

yes, you zest the fruit.

3:17 am

or what you do to potatoes to make latkes

3:17 am

oh, the tool

3:17 am

good one lynxxx

3:17 am

oooohh...thamnks for the latkes...most timely really..lol

3:17 am

shred is the verb for that, lynxxx :)

3:18 am

but, again, same tool. :)

3:18 am

my clue was for the re7/36 and "plural" for the re8

3:19 am

yes, found them, thank you

3:19 am

i want to try making latkes, but i've never tried them and wouldn't know if they came out right. :-)

3:19 am

ok..i have to take a break.. im gonna go into work for 3 hours today...just cos i have to...

3:20 am

okay rolin! see you later!

3:20 am

getting dark here - time to organise some dinner - & turn some lights on - BBS

3:20 am

fran..the trick if fine grating...squeeze the water out really well...make sure you use fine matza meal for binding not flour or breadcrumbs..and your oil has to be really hot

3:20 am

late lynxxx!

3:20 am

ciao, ro; g'night lynxxx

3:20 am

i mean later!

3:20 am

thanks rolin!

3:21 am

as i was raised, you need starchy potatoes - equal part those and onions gr5ed together, sometimes some parsley added, pat together and fry. We never use binders.

3:21 am

hot oil very important

3:21 am

has pink been on yet

3:21 am

taties onions eggs lotsa salt and pepper.. meal for binding....

3:22 am

no cool

3:22 am

not that i've seen, cool.

3:22 am

uh oh, obviously there are variations. :-)

3:22 am

yes, that's more common than our way, i think, ro

3:22 am

16 to go so will hit the sack for now. just cannot see anything further at the moment

3:22 am

g'night bb!

3:23 am

3:39 am

morning, ishult

3:40 am

it's not too awful. though it taking to4 but not etrog was a bit baffling, if typically Enable :)

3:46 am

Del Boy & Rodney are in the grid! Apologies to non-Brit TV watchers....

3:47 am

cool w/me Ray, i've not had TV in 3 years now.

3:47 am

gah! i spent years studyng the Inquisitions. I shoulda had that he6 long ago. sigh.

4:06 am

anyone have a cule for ar5/12 and ar8/40?

4:09 am

Hi dc, the ar8 is what carries blood from your heart to other parts of the body, Don't have ar5 yet.

4:09 am

ty, cat, that should have been obvious

4:10 am

Hi. ar5/12 = ar + 'encountered'.

4:10 am

you're welcome, more often than not, the obvious escapes me in the grids :)

4:11 am

thanks, Jac :)

4:11 am

Yum Dc. I am eating 300grms of raw meat

4:23 am

whatever for?

4:24 am

Raw me4?? Why?

infern?? why you do that?

Cause by nature we are omnivorous. Ok the dead cow is rare

a serve of meat is 150gm... what you doing eating 300gm of 'raw' meat!? that is not good for you

4:25 am

Oh, steak.

I know that but i need it. I haven't had cow is a long time

4:25 am

300gm seems reasonable. OTOH, i live in the States. :)

it is raw?

rare

500gm of meat is acceptable in texas and arizona

it said hello to the grill them went away

4:26 am

Just checked weights of steaks I've got for weekend - 276g and 394g.

4:26 am

Blue ra4 steak then, hERIN.

4:28 am

We'll blame FMitch then shall we, Herin?;)

4:29 am

jac, your icon makes me sad, as it reminds me that The Scottish Walk, the only reastaurant in the region that served haggis weekly, is no longer extant.

why blame fmitch?

4:30 am

I have a haggis in my freezer, dcs. I could throw it over if you wish? See the si4 on my bio for haggis cams and games.

4:30 am

MrP - FMitch takes the blame for everything. LOL

oh, she is a card! such a lovely lady!

4:32 am

MrP - see the thread Babbland Roles and Responsibilities under General in BabAnon.

I got it

5:13 am

i thought it a terrific sugestions, marmar

bite our thumb?? what does that mean?

5:13 am

yea

5:13 am

I am thinking to err is human and to forgive divine, mrp, ma'am (course nothing to forgive)

5:14 am

Dost thou bite thine thumb at me?

is that a theme?

5:14 am

elizabethan era rude gesture.

5:14 am

"I bite my thumb at you" Shakespear quote

ah, that is an insult

Mr PRes. It basically means 'No i just give you the one finger salute mate'.

But with you its said with loe

love

well, thanks so much .... lovely gesture

5:18 am

Hi Hodag!

5:18 am

phantom: ebullition, this log has seen its share

5:18 am

we're anticipating snow this year - we hope.

hi hodag :)

5:19 am

morning, hodag

wow babrab... I was monkeying that forever

5:19 am

indeed so, babrab

5:19 am

hiya Lyn and Merp hows it going?

5:19 am

snow gets to be somewhat annoying when I want to use my hammock

Ty for the er5/10 - the patterns today are strange. Need to get my eyes tuned in!

5:19 am

you could string it on the sunporch, babrab

5:20 am

Hiya dc ;-)

Its been stinking hot here

5:20 am

5:20 am

Hi Matt & Ishult (& bye)

5:21 am

morning, malt!

5:21 am

oh crap ..we just got a winter storm watch..starting as 4-8 inches of snow..changing to freezing rain up to 1/4 inch from sat- sun...YACK

5:22 am

the joys of life in the Great Lakes. May that it be the lesser amt.

5:22 am

bab rab you are so right...;-) I know Lyn,I just jump in and out. Hi Matt,bye Ishult...;-)

Snow see this is why i dont migrate OS to England or Canada or anywhere with snow

5:22 am

no kidding dc... i HATE winter...

5:23 am

we didn't have one last year. Just two weeks of snow/ice in mid-Feb. This year, many of us expect more. We'll see.

5:23 am

rather snow than floods fires and hurricanes

5:24 am

MrP, I was gone for a minute missed, don't misunderstand, you were saying "hurt me", "shoot me", I thought you were being too hard on yourself....and I always compare the "bite my thumb" (like my high school English teacher told us) as sticking out your tongue at someone. A gentler alternative to your comments. Didn't want to offend you. Sorry.

5:24 am

At first it is pretty after that it sucks!

5:24 am

i want to move to egypt....dry adn sunny...10 months of year with glorious heat..and 2 months of temperate sunny mid 60's - 70's

Carlee move to Queensland

5:25 am

and a modern infrastucture, yes good deal that it seems.

5:25 am

great foods...great night life... great people with great sense of humour

marmar!! I am sorry, I am so oversensitive lately! didn't realise what I was doing... I apologise

5:25 am

and its not $ there

5:26 am

malt, it's kinda neat when the eye of a hurricane passes over. The birds all come out and fly around, then dissappear again about 15 min before the rain starts again.

you are of course right! I am being hard on myself and carrying on about my pain. I really don't want to take it out on you guys! I love you and am sorry

5:27 am

the ipcc's synthesis report predicts warmer winters, hotter summers and earlier planting in north america ..... a process that will continue unless ghg and carbon emissions are curtailed now

5:27 am

no thanks Ill take a nice snow fall in my hottub

My cat stunned her self out this morning. SHe decided to attack a bird ON the other side of the glass

Mr Pres hugs

6:32 am

Good morning. Yes, I too would like everyone's home addresses so that I can plan vacations and lodging. Jean, will you come visit me?

scrabbler . . . be careful what you ask for

I flew to an island in the Indian Ocean to stay with someone I met on line

6:32 am

Hi Scrab

6:32 am

We would laugh SO much!

6:32 am

Good morning Scrabbler! Feeling better I hope.

yes, and that's the BEST therapy scrabbler

6:33 am

Wow, did you get married too?

did I SAY it was a man!?

6:33 am

Yes, Lori. I played tennis on Sunday and Monday and my sacrum is holding (me) up well.

6:33 am

Where do you live, Jean?

it was a wonderful funny woman who I think of as an x-rated Mrs. Doubtfire

6:34 am

No, but I was wondering, Jean.

I am in chicgo suburbs, but originally from NJ

6:34 am

One of my sisters lives in northern NJ.

of course, she DID have this cute french husband

6:34 am

we are a great beach

6:34 am

rerate

6:34 am

Ahh okay Esprit. Once a Joysey gal, always a Joysey gal! :-)

my family still is in nj

6:35 am

Scrabbler! Some people do anything to get the champagne and chocolate......

6:35 am

Damn, I wanted to give Lori a "re" word, LOL, but that one isn't accepted.

I NEVER in my life tawked like that Lori

give her re**** to rip again

6:35 am

My Sister is in Bergen county.

6:35 am

LOL Esprit. No stereotypes in me what?

mine is in monmouth county

6:35 am

TY, Jean

6:36 am

I have the re's done. Now i can enjoy the grid

6:36 am

Yahoo, Lori. You ate the cake, now go for the frosting.

going to see Jersey Boys after Christmas

yo, how can you eat the cake before the frosting?

6:37 am

Are those 4 D words all with the prefix DY*? Anybody get that far yet?

6:37 am

I have 71 words. I have decided this is a 71 word grid......

no, some dr words

6:37 am

more than that SCrabbler

6:38 am

Ah, yes, there is an R next to the D---I am often blind when I start grids.

we're here to hep ya sistah scrabbler

6:38 am

I did notice that X in the middle.

that was one of my other personalities, from alabama

6:39 am

***Lori ponders her ability to count to 4, and remains oddly silent***

6:39 am

Sistah, were y'all hot down theyah in Alabamy?

6:40 am

I will help, Lori. 1-2-3-4

honeychile, I am ALWAYS hot ...........ssssssssssssss

6:40 am

I shoulda known, Sistah Jeanie

lol

6:40 am

I was born in Hotlanta myself.

I was waiting for a menopause crack!

how do you know if you got all the re words?

6:41 am

There are 4 d words, and what does Lori do? Claim there's more than there actually is. ***sigh***

ask Lori, she keeps track

6:41 am

If you can count, (unlike me) and have 19 of them , then the re's are done.

she also talks to herself a lot, but she's harmless

what do the numbers on the letters mean?

6:42 am

i will let you know when I have a hot flash--it effects things and the National Weather Service hasn't figured out how much menopausal women cause global warming.

maybe Al Gore can do a study

6:43 am

It is An Inconvenient Truth that menopausal women have hot flashes.

6:43 am

Down - thats the point score for each letter...have you read the Help just above

6:43 am

*fans self*

6:43 am

LOL G'd morning Jacula

6:44 am

are you flashing again Jac!

6:44 am

I am feeling a hot easterly wind rush across the Atlantic Ocean.

I'd venture to say the estrogen power in here could warm a small country

6:44 am

I must get ready for my tennis match. I shall return this afternoon. Enjoy the day everyone.

bye scrab

6:45 am

bye Scrab

6:45 am

'Bye Scrabbs.

I'll be having High Tea with the Queen l ater meself

6:46 am

lynxx - Not right at this moment but I couldn't resist when I came in a saw the convo.:)

6:47 am

Jac - I could just see you whipping open your trenchcoat

I thot we were talkin' menopause not exhibitionism

6:47 am

LOL, lynxx.

not that there's anything WRONG with that

6:48 am

Jean - when you have a hot flush/flash you whip everything off anyway ... if possible.

ok, I managed to escape that

6:49 am

...not at the supermarket checkout (where they ALWAYS occur) of course, just your coat there.

and this is all Adam and Eve's fault anyway, isn't it

6:49 am

Is it, Jean?

*checking my notes*

yes, it was all because of that apple incident

6:50 am

Oh, yes, for making us have to wear clothes in the first place, etc.

seems like Adam got off easy tho

6:51 am

Strictly speaking it was the serpent's fault for tempting...

6:51 am

no, he had to put up with Eve!

well, he was not under orders from God not to eat the fruit

6:51 am

LOL, lynxx.

the serpent was not under orders

6:58 am

60 left, time to call it a nite...bye everyone

Lori, looking for the re9 from your second clue

peri, it's the verb not the person

7:19 am

a person who is unsteady in walking is said to be a to 9

7:19 am

8:10 am

was trying to make them more difficult !!

8:12 am

8:12 am

Annie, at least we've done what we can to help prevent damage to appliances, pluming and the AC unit.

8:13 am

flosey, would love some clues

8:13 am

Angel, are you completely moved in?

8:14 am

one is plural of to6 and the other - if someone has had too much to drink, they might become to7 - unstable on their feet

8:14 am

ok found 110 on my first go round, bbl

8:14 am

and, in doing so, we've increased the value of the property, I think.

8:14 am

thanks, flosey

8:15 am

I had that one...I would need to 7 flosey...have the unstable person

hi everyone!

hi everyone!

8:16 am

hey angel, how have yo been?

8:17 am

Angel, then you will celebrate Christmas in your new home...that is wonderful!

8:18 am

yes, it is! I'm looking forward to it hugely. Our Christmas tree will go up this weekend. and I'm going to cook a feast.

8:19 am

I'm peachy, TO. I feel much better since I'm out in the country and away from so much noise.

8:19 am

thanks Jane for your icon clue

hi annie!

8:20 am

Hiya, Owl!

8:21 am

yw angel, does anyone else have an icon clue?

8:21 am

angel when i moved to Darby Montana I couldn't get to sleep because it was too quiet! It took about a week to adjust!

8:21 am

ah, harp, good icon clue

8:22 am

you don't think it's too obvious?

8:22 am

LOL

8:23 am

we live on small island, on 12 acres so don't see neighbours, when the power fails (due to very high winds or storm), there is the most beautiful eerie silence

8:24 am

flosey, sounds like a good Hitchcock movie...I am so used to city noises but I love the quiet of the countryside

8:25 am

it's really beautiful, especially in a snowstorm

8:25 am

but we do have 2 fireplaces for heat and can cook on the one downstairs

8:25 am

I can imagine it so....I live on the 23rd floor and when the snow covers everything it is beatiful too

8:26 am

*beautiful

8:26 am

plus have a generator if power is off for very long - have 3 freezers full of food

8:27 am

You can roast marshmallows...You are well prepared! Did you ever have to be dug out?

8:27 am

awww Hobbit is fast asleep on my feet, snoring away

8:27 am

we're on a farm and freeze apple juice plus veg and fruit

8:27 am

flosey, sounds idyllic. Opposite effect -- when my mother, a native Manhattanite, came to visit me in Colorado, she never got a good night's sleep ... said it was too quiet.

oh dear...my pc is nearly at a crawl..either something is going or i have a virus

8:27 am

jwr, Yes, that would be me

8:28 am

only once Annie - a neighbour came and plowed our lane after 5 days

8:28 am

Oh noooo, Owl

lol my mother said the same thing about my suburban home. nevermind that their house is on the route of fire engines and police

8:29 am

My daughter lives in Connecticut on an acre of land and that is idyllic so you see I am a city person

8:29 am

well Annie, I still love to visit the city - have 2 sons in Toronto area and 2 daughters in Vancouver

of course, thus place is comfortable and safe but to me it's neither fish nor fowl....

8:30 am

Flosey, I remember your recent trips...How is your brother?

8:30 am

he's doing very well Annie, thanks

8:31 am

Owl, were you brought up in the city?

8:31 am

What is happening? "Word couldn't be added

8:31 am

I talk to him regularly, he's even driving himself out to get groceries, to church, etc. no distances yet

8:31 am

remember waking up knowing it had snowed during the night because the outside sounds were muffled. And it smelled so crisp.

8:32 am

Well that is wonderful news....good luck and continued good health to your brother, flosey

8:32 am

ah, so beautiful jwr

8:32 am

totteries

8:34 am

ok, which furbrat has stolen my ruler this time?

8:34 am

sorry about the word -- have all the t's and was futzing around. I still have to be Very careful about chatbox.

8:35 am

bye for now Annie

bye annie...hi ata

8:36 am

having trouble with ar6/30, any clues please?

8:36 am

flosey, the sun sucked up every flake on sidewalk and street -- but not on the shadowed walkway between the houses. sometimes up to 10-foot drifts if it didn't get shoveled away. Gorgeous, tho.

8:37 am

bye annie . thanx for the memories.

8:38 am

ah yes, we use to walk on top of those piles of snow the plow left beside the highway - they got pretty high sometimes

8:38 am

they were well packed of course, no danger of going through

8:39 am

where are you jwr?

8:40 am

pab they make holes in your yard if you live in the country

9:04 am

Eva!!

9:05 am

where squirrel!!! like a foot soldier?

9:05 am

i think there should be another go7, with Y instead of S at the end, "my yard is all go7"

9:05 am

Good morning Dr Nut.

9:05 am

eva, is that squirrel documenting your anti-squirrel activities?!

9:05 am

g'morning haz

9:05 am

9:06 am

Hello all

Add a vowel in the middle of the me 5/6 combination before it

The 5/6 combination that has the alternate Brit. spelling

9:20 am

Happy Friday, fellow Babblers!

hi aloy

9:22 am

Hello Aloy!

9:22 am

Morning, muffin heads!

Mmmmmm, muffins

9:23 am

Judi...just wondering...what is a muffin head?

9:23 am

hi TO and Haz.. lol, muffin heads! blueberry?

9:23 am

Dipped if I know, ddb. Just felt like saying "muffin heads".

9:23 am

sounds good!

You've made me hungry. I'm off to have breakfast. Bye, all *poof*

9:25 am

oh, me too, blueberry muffins for breakfast, sounds good

9:26 am

but first, need a clue for me5/12, the third one please?

9:26 am

I don't know whether you deserve the third one?

9:27 am

oh dear, a simple one, fooey!

hi judi!

9:27 am

Does it me5/12 another clue?

9:27 am

good morning my pretties

9:27 am

No problem, flosey.

9:27 am

ah, now I feel like a pretty muffin head!

hi wyrd

9:27 am

fooey indeed, thanks Haz

9:27 am

Good morning Wyrd. Now we're pretty muffin heads. Things are getting better.

9:27 am

*pops in just long enough to ask for help* RE9 -- i have the clue jacula gave earlier, but i still cant find it... any other hints?

9:27 am

;-))

9:28 am

better than muffin tops

9:28 am

re9 - emphasise a point over and over again.

9:28 am

or re plus a letter lacking to indicate that you can read and write.

9:29 am

i have that one, its the other RE9 i need...

9:29 am

The other one is the one who goes backwards.

9:29 am

ahh, got it -- thanks!

9:30 am

But hopefully in controlled, strategic fashion.

9:30 am

Well done!

9:30 am

had a few spare moments, so i figured id try to knock out all of the toughies. :)

and the other 9?

9:31 am

like a military advance in the opposite direction

9:31 am

Yes, there are a few hardnuts around at the minute. Those babblers.....

9:31 am

course, i still have 16 7-letter words to dig out...heh

9:31 am

The other 9 is to 9 - one who is unsteady on their feet.

evN, they'lll come...mostly plurals and "one who"

9:32 am

Thanks Babble Rabble I got that one.

9:32 am

Sorry, that's the singular, the to9 are those unsteady.

9:32 am

Ah, 9's complete. Ty for the clues.

9:32 am

thanks TO -- im working impaired today anyway...heh

9:32 am

ooh, late for a meeting! BRB!

9:32 am

to 9 -- the ones who use the other side of the teeter

9:33 am

ar7 please?

ty i HAD the singular...but picked it up earlier from a clue. the down side to not figuring it out for one's self

9:33 am

lol, nice clue BR!

9:33 am

sorry, that's at7 please

9:33 am

at + common and boring

9:33 am

nice clue BR

9:34 am

thanks aloy, good clue

9:35 am

yw, flosey.. good thinking!

9:35 am

but now that someone has mentioned blueberry muffins, think I'll take time out to make some

9:36 am

tis the season to be cooking!

9:36 am

im thinking fruit cake drenched in booze

9:38 am

BLAAAAAHG. Fruitcake! Someone call the authorities!

9:39 am

h'mm, love it or hate it.. no in between

9:39 am

not icky fruitcake, stuff with REAL dried fruit, apricots, cherries..tons of nuts

9:39 am

I see you all are talking doorstops today ;)

hi rae!

9:39 am

its a food AND a weapon

9:39 am

Hello raelite!

9:39 am

hello hello

9:39 am

Well, I suppose real fruit is better than that weird green and red stuff that tastes like varnish.

9:40 am

hi raelite!

9:40 am

What sort of fruit cake do you people make over there?

9:40 am

I think all fruitcakes should be shipped to third world countries, so they can use them as bricks to make houses.

i have a fresh fruit cake recipe - have not tried it but sound good

9:40 am

Fireworks!

9:41 am

good going boo!

9:41 am

Congratulations boo.

9:41 am

lol, Judi.... yay boo! congrats!!!

9:42 am

congrats boo

9:42 am

the m words are giving me a hard time - I think I'll throw a fruitcake at them

wtg boo!

9:43 am

ok ok ok, I shall talk about divinity instead you cry babies

9:44 am

of course, divinity would make great spackle for fruitcake houses

9:44 am

people in glass house shouldn't throw fruitcakes?

9:45 am

Anybody need any clues before I shove off?

9:45 am

much sturdier than a gingerbread house...

9:45 am

Divinity would be devine. Mustn't mix it with fruitcake though. That would be a waste of the divinity. Perhaps some of those yummy meringue cookies instead?

9:45 am

Just don't drop them on your foot, you could break a toe or two

9:46 am

but they are so versatile, you have both food and furniture in the same cubicle

9:46 am

meringue cookies????!

9:46 am

Haz, fruitcake over here is the proverbial white elephant gift. They get passed around so much that they are generally rock hard and something that Hagrid would make.

9:46 am

Welcome to FHA ... Fruitcake Haters of America.

9:47 am

you know what's really good: pavlova.

9:47 am

I thought she was a dancer.

9:47 am

no dates to be found on wrappers.. forbidden

9:47 am

Oh, yes, rae! Talk about divine!

yes ata...the best ones are ones you make and leave overnight after turning oven off "forgotten cookies". lovely to go to sleep after a hard night of baking and wake up to finished cooklies

9:47 am

I made one with cocoa once, it was amazing

9:47 am

She was - the dessert was named after her.

9:47 am

Lurrrve pavlova!

9:48 am

raelite - try making one with cinnamon or mixed spice.

i love lindt mozarts....at $19 per pound

9:48 am

**gasps** oh that would be so good

9:48 am

Okay, it sounds as if some food is in order. I am off to nosh on the homemade gingersnap cookies in the kitchen.

9:48 am

It is!

9:48 am

I can just see the speckles of red cinnamon in the pearly white of the pav...oh boy.

can you describe pavlova briefly?

9:49 am

it's a giant merignue, TO

9:49 am

with fruit

9:49 am

Beware, TO. You will want it, once you know what it is. Sort of a spin on baked alaska, without the flames.

9:49 am

Pavlova is basically a meringe mixture with the addition of vinegar and cornflour to make the outside crispy and the inside gooey/marshmallow. Topped with cream and fruit.

9:50 am

or meringue..and you pile it all up and it bakes in the oven, crispy on the outside marshmallow-y on the inside

ah, wonderful! i love the triple choclate meringue cookies...lots of sugar but no fat

9:50 am

Meringue cookies may be used to make a cheap and quick pavlova.

9:51 am

And to think this all started with "muffin heads".

9:51 am

I've uploaded a picture of one.

9:51 am

lol, just mentioned food to Babblers...

9:52 am

Or, at least, a slice of one.

i am tryiing a new cookie this year...an ice box cookie where you mix part of dough with pistachio pudding mix, other with cocoa, roll and slice

9:52 am

wow TO!

9:52 am

Mmmm. That sounds real good, TO. I vowed not to bake this year. Too much temptation.

9:53 am

I made all my stuff with splenda

ata is was developed with premade sugar cookie dough, though i do not like to use that, i want to know what is in my food

9:53 am

How did your stuff turn out, rae? Splenda can sometimes make for weird textures when baking.

9:54 am

it turned out great: I used 3 parts white splenda to 1 part brown sugar to get some carmelization

however i will try it that way first. my workmates are willing guinea pigs

9:55 am

Interesting. No Splenda for you, I imagine, TO.

ok peeps, i am really squandering day off - see you later to finish

9:55 am

Bye TO!

9:55 am

Ta ta, TO!

9:55 am

bye TO

9:55 am

bye TO.. am taking a break too.. bbl

no way. it may be unhealthy but i stay natural. butter, sugar, olive or canola oil in moderation

9:55 am

bye aloy

11:10 am

last two demons for me --re7/36 and re8/50. Just don't see them.

11:10 am

use base and then change the last letter to the sometimes vowel

11:11 am

shred the cheese again, nurse

11:11 am

11:11 am

re+gr5/14

11:11 am

ty again, lideola.. weirdo word

11:14 am

nice going Nurse

11:14 am

11:14 am

11:14 am

I'm not good at giving clues, but will try to help. This darn game is too addicting.

11:15 am

it will drive you nuts too

11:15 am

Hi all. Can I get a clue for the ex6?

11:15 am

sy+you *** up your gravy with your bread

11:16 am

Hi back for my last 78 - or at least some of them. Can anyone give me a heads up on the PH words please?

11:16 am

ty aryn

11:16 am

me + Kleenex ****ues + familiar vowel

11:16 am

was looking the wrong direction on that one

11:16 am

me7 - me + gets up in the morning

11:18 am

The re's finally done, now for the last s's and t's...

11:19 am

jan, i am stuck on the last re6.18... is it fishy?

11:19 am

Yup, 'fraid so.

11:20 am

arrgh, ok.. don't clue, i need to hunt.. probably going in the wrong direction

11:20 am

think older aloy

11:20 am

Can anyone help me with the PH words plz???

11:20 am

ex6 please? A clue, a clue, my kingdom for a clue.

11:21 am

That's the problem with the grid, there are too many directions for the same beginnings.

11:21 am

ex**** opp. of in****

11:21 am

as for a coin for example...

11:21 am

lol, got it,,, and to think i belong to that class! ty ruru and jan

11:22 am

ph6 - ph, the sometimes vowel, shortened female sibling. The other is the greek plural.

11:22 am

ty nurse1000

11:22 am

hello again, haz!

11:23 am

anyone get the sp6/30 yet?

11:23 am

Whew Haz, I was struggling with just the clue. Ph sounds like a science, minus one letter

11:23 am

sp6/30 is descriptive of the globe

11:23 am

Hello Aloy!

11:24 am

sometimes vowell needs to be added

11:24 am

haz, isn't that the sp6/24?

11:24 am

yes, with some help, Aryn... use the same base as the word before it and hook on the "sometimes" vowel

11:24 am

did u get it pigeonman ?

11:24 am

weird word, methinks

11:24 am

sp6/24 is the globe, sp6/30 removes the vowel fromthe end and replaces it with the descriptive sometimes one.

11:24 am

Haz is quite right, it's an adjectival form.

11:24 am

ty aloy and haz!

11:24 am

Thanks for the Ph words Haz.

11:24 am

(-:

11:25 am

You're welcome!

11:25 am

ty hazel for those ph words...

11:26 am

You're welcome montreal.

11:26 am

ta 6/24 I cannot find

11:26 am

Aryn, unusual spelling for your name

11:26 am

ta6/24 is what you're aiming to find - bullseye!

11:26 am

shoot the arrow at it

11:27 am

ta6 -popular store in US

11:27 am

thanks and of course I got the weird word before it.duh

11:28 am

The weird word is used here to describe a cross woman. It's not a compliment!

11:28 am

interesting...

11:30 am

53 left - BBS

11:30 am

have not heard that word in conversation here.. but now I know what it means if someone calls me that!

11:30 am

Fireworks, so off to work.

11:31 am

congrats, jan!!!

11:31 am

Congratulations jan.

11:31 am

Never heard it either.

11:31 am

Yeah, Jan

11:32 am

It's possibly Scots in origin.

11:33 am

Amazing what you learn on this site. Thanks, Haz.

11:34 am

we learn lots of Scots words here

11:34 am

Have a good day, everyone. time to run. TY for all your help.

11:34 am

The original meaning seems to be a Scots shield - we've made her into a battleaxe!

11:34 am

yup, often I think that if i looked up the "weirdo" words, I would probably remember them better...

11:35 am

bye, nurse!

11:35 am

Bye all.

11:35 am

Bye nurse.

11:36 am

What word are you all talking about? First two letters?

11:36 am

ta5

11:36 am

ta5/14 - one letter short of the bullseye word.

11:36 am

Thanks, Aloy

11:36 am

Strange how many more negative terms specifically for women there are, compared to how many negative terms are specifically for men. Or, perhaps less strange than sad. Or infuriating.

11:36 am

i have done a zillion t's and still haven't greyed out a tile

11:37 am

Oh, I can think of plenty of words for men. Gulpin is a great one, or a hallion.

11:37 am

jerk works too haz

11:37 am

bloody f***ing idiot works very well when very annoyed LOL

11:37 am

LOL

11:37 am

Or a ganch is specifically for a man who talks too much.

11:38 am

lol, we will just have to come up with a plethora.. who better to do that than Babblers?

11:38 am

It's true there are some, but the list for females is so much longer.

11:38 am

hey, we could even invent some!

11:38 am

we should!

11:39 am

might be time for me to leave for a bit ...uh oh

11:39 am

Oh, and speaking of "jerk," recently I was chastised by an older colleague for using such a vulgar term. When I looked clueless, he gently pointed out its sexual origin. (Was my face red?? I never realized it.)

11:39 am

all male babblers... excluded.. you are in a different class!

11:39 am

Sit your ground, ruru.

11:40 am

new to me, jan..

11:41 am

as in jerk off or is there something I'm unaware of too?

11:42 am

Atalante, let's do without the vulgar words, please and thanks

11:42 am

Placing hand over screen in case I see something I shouldn't.

11:43 am

yes, indeedy... what one can learn on this site..

11:43 am

Yes, or so he claimed. (Seems quite plausible to me.) It is funny how quickly a work can be detached from its original sense. I have a lot of students who insist that "sucks" as a pejorative term isn't vulgar at all, and has nothing to do with sexuality.

11:43 am

oh pfff it was an inquiry

11:44 am

and lol jan I would have never thought of sucks as coming from something vulgar. BUt most swear words are really

11:44 am

my students used "suck" to mean "stink".. as in, it stinks..

11:44 am

If you consider it though, nearly all of our "classic insults" have sexual beginnings and references...

11:44 am

Hello everyone

11:44 am

hi Preethi!

11:44 am

oh yes uni

11:45 am

HI Aloy, Uni, Ata

11:45 am

Yes, nowadays they tend to be about excrement or sexuality--though in earlier times they were more often religious in origin. (And in many parts of the world, still are...)

11:45 am

Hows everyone doing today?

11:45 am

Hello Preethi.

11:45 am

Hi Pree :)

11:45 am

Hello Haz

11:45 am

Morning all - has anyone finished all the TO's? I just did, and was surprised that the last five were all from the same word!

11:46 am

Were you unsteady on your feet once you realised?

11:46 am

Jan - good point. I love reading old poetry and discovering that things I consider non-offensive are the height of vulgarity in the time they were made

11:46 am

Howdy folks!

11:46 am

does anyone have the first re 7/36, re 8/50 and the 2nd re 6/18?

11:46 am

It was the to8 and to9 that surprised me.

12:14 pm

19 to go ...

12:15 pm

te7 = a 7 letter word starting with TE and worth 28 points

12:15 pm

oh, ok, thank you mon

12:16 pm

Hi Jakki, welcome to babbleland! As montreal just explained the numbers, I'll jsut give you the lsit of helpful things - the help icon just above chat ois fantastic, as well as angelsongs babble page in the "friends of babble" box below the grid. Third, is Lickety's List..fantastically helpful!

12:16 pm

simplest is a 4-letter word where each tile is worth 1 point = a ..4/4 word ------- 5-letter words you double the tile count, 6-letter words, you triple the count etc...

12:16 pm

Hi Jakki - under the puzzle you'll see a section called "Friends of Babble". Look for "Lickety's Babble Clues. There you'll find today's puzzle with clues to all the words.

12:16 pm

thank you!

12:17 pm

you ARE welcome Jakki !

12:18 pm

Fireworks here - tx for great clues along the way

12:19 pm

Jakki, I don't chat much, but I have to say that this is the nicest group of "friends" you'll find anywhere on the internet. Everyone is so helpful and patient. Just ask questions and sure as shootin' you'll get a good clue.

12:19 pm

Hey there babblers. Hello from Kentucky

12:22 pm

hi there weegee from KY !!

12:22 pm

When I first got internet I was fascinated by being able to chat to people around the world so tried a couple of chatrooms - holy smoke it was like a foreign and foul language - I love that babble speaks good english and does not encourage swearing

12:22 pm

hi weeg :)

12:23 pm

bonjour, montreal

12:24 pm

bonjour weegee - tu parles français ?

12:25 pm

12:26 pm

good weegee - we have a resident babbler who is a french teacher in the USA somewhere - : Uneaxoise or something approaching...

12:26 pm

ursh, you're so right about other chats! Here, too, sometimes though... adults pretending to be kids, some soap opera confessions, etc., but not so much during the day U.S. time. Still, I usually keep chat closed. This seemed like a good group to say hi to.

12:26 pm

Ursh, I second that sentiment.....Good people here!

1:38 pm

ex6 - the opposite of in6 (not in the grid) - to put something in, like a coin to a toll

1:43 pm

It's something - I'm assuming it's a dog.

1:43 pm

I know! poor babe! its just preventive now though. she can have it on when I can't see her, and go lampshade free when we're out walking

1:43 pm

Gasp, maybe its another CoG

1:43 pm

Perish the thought, FMitch!

1:43 pm

Haz - greyhound - retired - although some actually don't even race...boy & about 2/3yo...so yes Infernal will approve

1:43 pm

it can't be. there's only one CoG

1:43 pm

hi all. This morning my oldest was on here at 5:20 AM! If it weren't for the strong resemblance, I'd swear she couldn't be mine. I only get up that early under duress! ;-)

1:44 pm

1:46 pm

1:47 pm

Haz, have you had stormy weather, it's looked a bit bleak on the forecast this morning?

Hi all - back for my last 32 - I've just noticed that I seem to have all the R words that are listed on licketty but I still seem to be one R missing on the grid. Has anyone any idea what this might be?

1:48 pm

It was a pretty dreich day this morning but improved a bit in the afternoon. No storms yet. The forecast looked grim, didn't it?

1:48 pm

Yup, its persistently pouring at the mo with gale warnings for the w/e.

1:49 pm

Sandie - if you are using babbleExpert just send all the words to the grid again

1:49 pm

Sandie - have you gone through your word list and compared them?

1:50 pm

hi all!

1:50 pm

I like cold, dry weather - damp, gloomy weather isn't so good. And walking beside Spangle is like walking beside a miniature car wash with the revolving things.

Yes - I can't find one that I've missed. Will go through them again later. I don't know how to use Babble expert.

1:50 pm

LOL what a great picture!

1:50 pm

Hello beth.

1:50 pm

the car wash thing sounds very familiar

1:51 pm

sandie - do you have rh4.5. To get BabbleExpert you need to email Lickety (address on his List) and he will send you a copy...v. good!

1:51 pm

sandie, that happened to me last week, i had all the words entered them multiple times refreshed like crazy,no joy. hope you have better luck.

Yes, I seem to have them all. Hmmm very frustrating!

1:52 pm

1:53 pm

at7 - at plus a word in the grid that means common, boring, of not much worth.

I know - I was so pleased to be there. Fame at last!

1:54 pm

22 points - not bad going.

1:54 pm

we should all send a small gratuity to you for overuse of your name, its only fair

1:59 pm

the sy5 doesnt even make sense at least not to me lol

2:00 pm

Have you got the word?

2:00 pm

Think about the clue. The bunch of flowers is mentioned in the bit about po4/6 spice below.

2:01 pm

2:08 pm

Of course peri, it's my job! but it has been quite quiet today (famous last words).

I Lost in the mist of time ... ... but I blame Haz :)

2:09 pm

2:23 pm

Haz you realise you only get paid for one clue to a word, repeats unfortunately don't pay as there are so many repeat requests

2:23 pm

er5/10 - takes the v from what the po4/5 might write.

extra

Fireworks!!!!!!! I found the re word I'd entered into Licketty but not the grid!!!!

2:23 pm

My goodness, thank you, Haz. I've definitely never heard that one before!

2:24 pm

er5/14 adds a consonant to the therefore word (er4/6)

2:24 pm

A new one for me as well, liz.

2:24 pm

Congrats Sandie Hi liz

2:24 pm

yay sandie!

2:24 pm

That's a relief, sandie!

2:24 pm

dr6/27 - adjectival form to do with dr5/12

2:25 pm

sp 6/30?

at7 - a+ double cons + ri4/4

2:25 pm

at7/28 - at plus a word meaning common, boring, lacking in worth.

thank you haz

2:26 pm

sp6/30 describes the global sp6/24. Replace the last vowel with a sometimes descriptive one.

2:26 pm

tr5/10 after attempts please

which one periwinkle?

2:26 pm

tr5/10 - it's the common, boring, of little intellectual value one, peri (attaches to the at7)

d

2:29 pm

Aw thats not fair EvaN!!

2:29 pm

It's from the fourth column and goes backwards, so to speak (er5/10)

2:29 pm

You singing Prom ?

2:29 pm

rabbits

2:31 pm

2:33 pm

2:33 pm

When's your boyfriend's second interview?

2:34 pm

2:34 pm

2:34 pm

That's good - hopefully it will be in his favour.

2:34 pm

2:35 pm

Crosses arms, finger and legs ... falls off chair.

2:35 pm

AR6/30..any clues please?

2:35 pm

Bye Sandie, enjoy.

2:35 pm

ar6/30 is a ship

2:36 pm

ar6/30 - descriptive of our catalogue store - the one that sounds as though it has something to do with Jason.

i saw the clue from earlier for ex6/33, but i'm still not seeing it in the grid

2:36 pm

ar + opp of stop + Harriet the *p* (sleuth)

2:37 pm

Put a plural letter in third place within ex5 - to do something forcefully.

2:37 pm

ex6/33 = ex5/20 with a snake in the middle

2:37 pm

It begins with the e in the fourth column and again, goes 'the wrong way'

2:37 pm

Occcchhhh! Thank you.

got it, thanks :)

2:38 pm

A good guttural och, there, liz!

2:39 pm

Haz did you get last Saturdays Mail?

2:39 pm

as in newspaper not e or postal

2:39 pm

I did - was that the one with the wildebeest photos?

2:40 pm

did it have a free spaniel?

2:40 pm

LOL I ws thinking more along the lines of the behind the scenes article on Cranford

2:40 pm

i cant ge tthat snake one to work

2:41 pm

ex + plural letter + ending of ex5/20

2:41 pm

on CD Ata but it got lost. boom boom.

2:41 pm

Yes, I read it - very interesting that they worked for so long, and at reduced rates. It's been worth it!

2:41 pm

looool

2:42 pm

ex6/33 lol please?

2:42 pm

Example: he read an ex**** from his book. It was just a paragraph.

2:43 pm

hello! Newbie here. Sorry to ask the dumb question, but what do things like "ex5/20" mean?

2:43 pm

MLFAN17: That's the clue we're doing right now.

2:43 pm

That's not the same word, though. That's excerpt.

2:43 pm

Time to put the kettle on BRB

2:43 pm

my bad!

2:43 pm

well the word i am thinking on uit doesnt work

2:43 pm

6-4-9-5-3-0 i'm doing well!

2:44 pm

ex5/20 means a word that begins ex, has five letters and which yields 20 points (because five letters are double points value, six, triple etc)

2:44 pm

I guess I 'used all my energy' on this grid!

2:44 pm

aha! thank you, momof5! :)

2:44 pm

2 left. 2nd. TE6/18 and AR5/12, clues gratefully received!

2:44 pm

Then look it up in www.morewords.com or www.a2zwordfinder.com, MLFAN. Or else leave it and come back to it.

2:45 pm

ar + it's nice to **e* you. Glad to know you

2:45 pm

ar = limb + french "and"

2:46 pm

hurshy! I mean, marty!

2:46 pm

te6/18 = te4/4 + 'more' ending

2:46 pm

TY, just one to go..the TE aforementioned.

does anyone have a good clue for po7/32?

i have the po8, but can't find the po7

2:47 pm

lizmac: which te6/18 did you need?

2:47 pm

po7/32 - look at my icon.

2:47 pm

po7 - female version

2:47 pm

The female of the species (po4/5)

aha

thank you

2:47 pm

For heaven's sake...fish please.

2:47 pm

haz your icon?

2:48 pm

yes. the littel picture by her name

2:48 pm

Yes, if you click on my icon, it gives a clue. It's Elizabeth Barret Browning, the po7/32.

2:48 pm

po7 = po4/5 with female ending

2:49 pm

i dont know what the icon is of

2:49 pm

By the way, for those that witnessed my Christmas moan and sympathised, I've negotiated Christmas Day off..WHOOPEE. Oh yes, and fireworks for me!

2:49 pm

2:49 pm

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

Hi hurshy! It's been months!

2:50 pm

2:51 pm

maybe her hubby meant it that way, a little.

2:51 pm

haz, on my screen your dog is still your icon, poochy is not on grid, took me a minute to look elsewhere

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

2:53 pm

espritdjean - teehee

2:54 pm

does spangle write verse?

2:54 pm

clue for OR8, please

what DO you do to cheese for a topping?

2:54 pm

I don't get the re7 & 8 clue. All I can think of is slice or melt.

2:54 pm

or8 - a female who stirs the crowd with her speechmaking.

2:54 pm

thats how i knew she was a beauty haz but not a po/7/32

2:54 pm

Well Spangle IS a very talkented dog :)

2:55 pm

you ***** mozzarella / cheddar to sprinkle on pizza

2:55 pm

oh you know, bored with life generally, as always.

2:55 pm

She would probably write wonderful verse but it would be in Welsh. cwms and crwths and all sorts of things.

2:55 pm

*talented

2:55 pm

judi, parmesan cheese comes already in tiny pieces but some cheese you have to gr5/14 all over again

2:55 pm

Bye for today, off to Status Quo concert in Edinburgh tomorrow, providing the forecast gales don't happen (caravan doesn't like the wind)

2:55 pm

Greetings from a winter wonderland.

hurshy, bored? I can't imagine!

2:56 pm

2:58 pm

Judie, one/those who attempt again

2:58 pm

t + ri4/4

2:58 pm

That's what I am looking for too, Judi.

2:58 pm

How much snow then Scrabbler?

2:58 pm

Ty, momof5

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

tr5/10 - common or boring, but incorporating a ceremony.

2:59 pm

yw.

2:59 pm

I'd keep working on it. You'll get it perfect soon I'm sure

2:59 pm

Scrabbler, how much snow up there? My mom said flurries last I spoke to her

2:59 pm

Yes, but would the clue work at the end of it all?

2:59 pm

I guess everyone is looking for the OR8 since I haven't received a clue ??

2:59 pm

*******FIREWORKS!!!!*********

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

It is very windy and huge flakes are slowly falling. It is quite beautiful.

3:00 pm

Yahooo Judi!

3:00 pm

Where is your Mom, weegee?

3:00 pm

My mom is a stone's throw from the bay

3:03 pm

Would anyone like peppermint tea? I made a potful.

3:04 pm

Ata, "In the Gh****"

3:04 pm

In The ______

In the gh****

3:04 pm

All I'm hearing is the King warbling 'In the gh6'.

3:04 pm

a poor boy 'in the gh****

3:04 pm

3:04 pm

3:06 pm

TY, Weegee, I do recall that word being here before

3:06 pm

I was feeling invisible

a girl who was on fear factor and ate maggots

guys like a girl who will put ANYTHING in her mouth

3:07 pm

George and I made up that story to keep the paparazzi away from us.

3:07 pm

ty,ty,

3:07 pm

some people have no taste whatsoever. but for next time stronger manacles

3:07 pm

at7 - a plus a double helping of the consonant, a ceremony that sounds to be correct.

3:08 pm

This is true, beth. I've learned my lesson.

3:08 pm

maggots? I can think of worse

all right, i am down to my last 4 words

3:09 pm

3:09 pm

3:10 pm

Yes, hurshy - one that appears often.

3:10 pm

and baloutes or howeveer you spell them

3:10 pm

balut- the feathers and beak would be super difficult for me to choke down

3:11 pm

OK, 2 left: te5/10 (last one) and er5/10. Help, please.

3:11 pm

ty

te5/10 = a quad

3:11 pm

4 go or more?

3:12 pm

ty. I think baluts would be the only thing I would simply refuse to eat

3:12 pm

6 go's

3:12 pm

er5/10 - if it began with v it would be the plural of the form in which poems and hymns are often written. Remove the v.

3:12 pm

FISH1

3:13 pm

Is the last sp word related to the first 2?

3:13 pm

FISH 2! Thanks for all the help.

Let me guess the cat is loveing you right now DC

7:15 pm

my cat was on antibiotics a couple of months ago because he got hit by a car and we were given a syringe to give him his antibiotics and it was alot easier...he didn't like it, but i squirted it that quick into his mouth he would swallow it before realising what i had done

7:15 pm

so not. There's a baby gate that keeps the dog from the cat/rabbit stuff. I set boxes so he could go over the gate, but he keeps trying to go through the railing. When i'm not home, i leave him up there, so he has food/water/litter. So not happy. he likes to roam.

7:15 pm

ex 6?

7:16 pm

yes i have syringe. he seems to be closing his throat at the epiglotis

Poor kity

7:16 pm

7:18 pm

hey nutster! feeling any better?

Dont blame you

Hi Lynxx enjoying the first day of Summer

7:59 pm

ddb4nana - As lil's not around to answer your question... Originally British slang "doolally tap", loosely meaning "camp fever", referring to the apparent madness of men waiting for ships back to Britain after finishing their tour of duty in India at the British Army transit camp, Deolali. Men were said to have "doolally tap". By the 1940s this had been widely shortened to just "gone dolally" or just "dolally", an adjective meaning "mad" or "eccentric".

8:13 pm

I adore mythology and the classics, but had to seek them out on my own and take a lot in university. HATE Shakespeare though. In my school, I am the mutant freak

8:14 pm

Never got into Dickens.

8:17 pm

Are you serious, dc? that is just ridiculous...

8:17 pm

ty seain

sounds funny saying that bcause babbling actually takes time but reading requires your full attention between dog and kids and work and who knows what I have the attention span to a pea now

Oh i have a 1900's copy of Paradise Lost

8:17 pm

i don't have that re 4/4... i only have behindf

8:17 pm

I loved John Donne's poetry.

8:18 pm

I don't read nearly as much now as I have the rest of my life (used to average a book a day) but I still try to do things outside of school (Duval, just finished a paper on Donne, I think he is so great)

8:18 pm

*!* ta da *!* -- thanks for the help all. I found this one really tough!

8:18 pm

8:19 pm

I enjoyed Paradise Lost but far prefer Dante to Milton

8:19 pm

yes that what was great about taking the bus....time to read

8:19 pm

yes, pam we read Salinger's Nine Short Stories, specifically Seymore Glass. He failed me on teh paper for not reguritating his Christian intepretation of the story. Took it to the dept head and school board. He got in big trouble for failing to honour separation of church and state.

8:19 pm

pam, some of the "words" that are allowed in Scrabble should be thrown out (just IMO)

9:09 pm

welcome, Althea

hi, althea. first read the help page. it has a lot of vital information in it.

9:09 pm

althea, welcome. there is a small help link on this page, or try angelsong's page -- link near the bottom in the "friends of babble" section

9:09 pm

ehy althea. it's pretty simple--you find all the words in the jumble :)

9:09 pm

hi babblers

we will gladly help you, but you will have to do some work, too :)

9:09 pm

9:10 pm

lbd,!!

9:11 pm

below the grid is a panel of letter boxes with numbers next to them--that's how many words start with that letter, and how many of them you've found.

9:11 pm

anyone help with the tr 6/24

9:11 pm

the numbers are used to increase the point total. four letters are the straight count, five letters double the value, six triple, etx

9:12 pm

the crazy abbreviations people use here to ask for clues are the first letter or two of the word, then the number of letters in the word, then the point value for the word.

you get the word stats free for 2 weeks. then they go away, unless you go Pro (just warning you) :)

9:12 pm
