urls is acronym -Universal Resource Locator(S)

yeah, dc, but Enable takes sysop :P

12:27 am

internet is an acronym too - for How To Waste Your ENtire Day Pplaying Word Games

12:27 am

valid point both of you, but as jlll pointed out, no internet :P

internet is still considered a proper noun by some, as is "web" as in the world wide web

12:28 am

ROFL ata!

12:28 am

interweb is a word in my world

12:30 am

w/u there, gwen

not to mention the apostrophe on the word 'Net

(editor) she meant

12:30 am

brb

12:31 am

anyone found the 7's yet?

Hello Fellow Babblers

12:31 am

i have the wh7

12:31 am

hk found a wh7

wh but not the other one

12:31 am

or a, depending :)

face it. computer conventions (of spelling, etc) are taking over. in some cases this is very bad, like when videos that start with a number are not correctly alphabetized at the video store . . .

12:32 am

i have a wh 7

weed

smoke it, atom!! LOL

lol

12:32 am

yes, numbers collate after letters, or as if they wer spelled out, depending on convention

12:32 am

uh dude wrong spot...

12:33 am

lol

12:33 am

we have great fun in an online encyclopaedia I work on with letters like AE because sql doesn't recognise them, or misfiles them

12:33 am

ty -- got it

the "correct" method is to allphabetize them as if they were spelled out. but computers can't do that so they get arranged according to the "computer alphabet"

12:33 am

here, those are long deprecated, so likely why sql chokes on them.

yw... anyone find the other 7 yet?

12:34 am

he7

12:34 am

hi fiber!

12:34 am

the newest version of sql was meant to correct the issues, but oh nooo

12:34 am

hi,

12:34 am

hi, fiber

12:34 am

hi fib

12:34 am

i have a wh 7

12:34 am

Hi, all! The wh7 isn't in my puzzle.

ty

ty

ty

nor mine ; )

oops sorry for the burp

then there is the problem of computer giving importance to a comma (or whatever) in a title and mis-alphabetizing due to that

12:35 am

got the he 7

12:35 am

hah! found the 8s :)

12:35 am

indeed so, gwen

so, who is gonna clue me the 7s?????? 8-)

12:35 am

you go, ruru

12:35 am

apostrophe, more likely

12:36 am

go jes go!!

12:36 am

i hate how MS organizes number in most cases

12:36 am

29 left here for tomorrow - which will be way more manageable than 98!

12:36 am

not me, gwen, i don't have 'em

how is everyone tonight

12:36 am

good nite everyone :)

12:36 am

12:36 am

think cried with an extra letter

12:37 am

ta, Helen

ty for he 7 found it

12:37 am

do you, by any chance, know any tricks to get round the AE issue in sql, dc?

12:37 am

we 8

12:37 am

is ur DB set for UTF-8? That fixes a world of issues.

12:37 am

re 8

12:37 am

and the ne 8 too, ruru.

12:38 am

i'll check

12:38 am

yep.. got all three now thanks

12:38 am

thanks joey

12:38 am

ween

12:40 am

there should be "peahen"

i have wh 7, what is the other 7?

12:40 am

peehen is there -- I am just visualizing that...

12:41 am

he7

12:41 am

peahen

12:41 am

was a joke, jes

12:41 am

not a very tidy hen

12:41 am

sorry, erda, didn't see fiber's comment until after i typed that in

12:41 am

<---- is slow sometimes

ty

12:41 am

uric chicken?

12:42 am

yup

12:42 am

do chickens pee?

birds don't pee exactly. they have only one chute, so it's a combo operation

12:42 am

they're birds, so they eliminate, rahter than pee/poop - i forget the term for the combined

12:43 am

it's called urates in a bird, not urine

12:43 am

ah -- live and learn

12:43 am

ty, jes

12:43 am

25 for tomorrow -- good night, all :)

they peep

12:44 am

g'night, nan

12:44 am

night Nan

pee + poop = peep

try cloaca

12:44 am

the urates and feces come out together, but are actually separate things. so if you look at the droppings on your car, the white stuff is the urates, the black/brown/green is the feces.

12:44 am

now aren't you all glad to know that?

12:44 am

I accidently got the wh7!!

thank you for sharing that information jes

12:45 am

oh, cool, jes! i always wonderede

12:45 am

go, fiber!

12:45 am

Gosh -- look at what I started!

12:45 am

glad i could help ;)

what lovely coversation when i am having my brekkie :)

12:45 am

33 to go

so that's why birds are always peeping! lol

12:45 am

aww, squidgy--don't worry. it could be worse!

12:46 am

But now I know one more thing I didn't know before!

12:47 am

Back tomorrow. Thanks, all, for all the illuminating!

12:47 am

yes, i am a veritable fount of useless information ;)

12:47 am

g'night erda!

12:47 am

12:48 am

12:48 am

after my hubby took almost everything apart, somehow the audio file was put on mute lmao

1:20 am

meanwhile, i got kicked off the internet for half an hour!

odd words for me were the ae 5/12 and di 6/21

1:21 am

wow! is it due to weather?

I think our internet server must be updating to fiber optics; last month I convinced them to give me $12 credit because of all the hours we lost; now last night, it started again...

1:22 am

1:35 am

night flosey

1:35 am

and I'm really gone this time

1:36 am

they said the signal from my modem is not in the right range, so they have to check wiring and possibly put a booster on my line.

1:36 am

night jilli

1:36 am

i thought that's what they did on Wednesday, but I guess it didn't work

1:37 am

the tech said they have to try different things, i guess troubleshoot to find the right solution.

1:37 am

hmmm, why not give new modem then?

1:38 am

it's more likely the wiring and stuff going to the modem

1:38 am

brb, water boiling

1:40 am

i brought that up when i called tonight muse and they didn't think it was the problem

hello everyone

1:41 am

2:01 am

2:01 am

2:01 am

2:02 am

2:02 am

Hi MVA & Ata

2:02 am

2:03 am

CLues for the first he4, 5 please?

2:03 am

It was just the 2.00 o'clock hiccup Ata

2:03 am

oops meant MVA

hi all

wow, the site is sloooooow - or at least it's responding very slowly to me

2:04 am

I can he** you Xanika

2:05 am

it keeps aying try again in a minute but by then i've forgotten the word!!!

2:05 am

Pass me the fish :)

2:05 am

ty lynxxx

really? I didn't see it there! :)

2:06 am

i just tried it in morewords tyger

2:07 am

that happens to me all the time mva!

thanks, fran :) now I know my sight is going! ;)

2:08 am

it's a stupidhead word anyway tyger. :-)

2:08 am

babble blindness is well known :P

2:08 am

good morning all.......

2:08 am

hey, it's ata, the masked bingoer! :-)

I agree with you, fran. without monkeying, I'd never have gotten it.

hey, flask

2:09 am

hi flask!

2:09 am

Hi Flask

2:09 am

loool fran

2:09 am

that skill seems to have deserted me at the moment

2:10 am

sigh. back again.

2:11 am

hi again dc!

2:11 am

i just realized my icon is out of theme, brb

hey, DC

2:12 am

hi, Tyger, ata, & flask :)

2:14 am

aw, whats wrong DC?

2:15 am

going to come back later, bye!

later, mva

2:15 am

later MVA

2:15 am

bye mva!

2:15 am

we've a new person on the level above me, who doesn't fully know what she's doing yet, so i just spent 35 min walking a customer through their job. :) Happily, customer knew computers generally, which made it as easy as could be for a noob.

2:15 am

ciao, MVA

congrats, DC. that's a miserable position to be in. my favorite author themed one whole novel around the hazards of having people train their bosses

2:16 am

see, they can't do without you DC. How much longer - 2 mths?

2:16 am

neat, tyger

you're changing jobs, DC?

2:17 am

how much longer before...?

2:17 am

I thought you were leaving? or is it just these shifts?

I was about to go, but now I'm waiting breathlessly to learn what's going on! :)

2:18 am

if all goes well, by spring i'll be back on days. which will do wonders for my sleep. :)

2:18 am

i'll babble less on days though, as day shift is busy

and will give you a different boss, I trust?

2:19 am

plus, i like the chat better at night.

but you can babble from home, can't you?

2:19 am

no, we all report to one person. i'm actually lead on my shift.

2:19 am

yes tyger, and i do.

2:19 am

so we won't lose you, dc?

whoopee! more sympathies :(

2:19 am

no, jill, but you may see less of me when i change back to day.s

hey, jilli

so you'll still be stuck with the newbie boss you're training

2:20 am

hi tyger -- I've been in and out and now must go beddy-bye. 23 left for the morrow.

I'm about to go, too. :)

2:20 am

oh when i say 'level above me' i mean the level 2 helpdesk for trade users :) we're equals, if on different levels, as she's my escalation point.

2:21 am

sleep well, jilli!

they deserve to lose you to a more percipient org, DC

2:21 am

any clues for ho5/12 please?

later, jilli

2:21 am

I want to see fran's new icon -- she alsways picks such interesting ones!

2:21 am

ho + cyber***

2:22 am

ty, jilli, i always forget that one

2:22 am

TY Jilli too

2:22 am

maybe flask doesn't know her, though...

2:22 am

yw

2:22 am

flask, it's like a region/cuisine of china

2:23 am

back!

2:23 am

I have it thanks DC........Yes of course, I know her, thankyou!

2:24 am

thanks for the ho5!

2:24 am

it's "a pongee fabric made from the filaments of the wild silkworm. "

well, since there appear to be no dire - or wonderful - revelations in the offing from DC, I'm outta here.

nytol

2:25 am

a good morning all

2:25 am

g'night tyger :) no, nothing major on my side right now

2:25 am

I waited to see your icon choice, fran -- almost picked that one too, lol!

2:25 am

sprite! ((hug))

2:25 am

hi sprite!

2:25 am

sprite!!! Hey! How was holiday?

2:25 am

morning Sprite!

2:25 am

i was going to use one like yours jilli, but couldn't find one that was square. :-)

2:26 am

we missed you, sprite!

2:26 am

Spriteeeee!!! Hi, did you have a good time?

2:26 am

absolutely lovely, dc! Have been too much enjoying myself to really miss you, but coming back is like a warm bath :D How are you guys doing?

2:27 am

sprite -- don't worry about the K -- no words from it :D

2:27 am

ah, jilli, good! As far as Ks go, that is a good K ;)

2:28 am

so now I'm off to bed for sure -- night all -- *poof*

2:29 am

night jilli!

2:29 am

where'd yall go, sprite?

2:29 am

sweet dreams, jilli, and sleep well! *hug*

2:30 am

yall of us went to Ameland, dc, a dutch island. 5 friends in a cottage with sauna and swimmingpool, playing the transformation game and having a special and great time. I feel like it has been at least 3 weeks. Even if it was only 5 days :)

2:31 am

how very lovely! :D

2:31 am

sounds like just what you needed

2:32 am

oh yes, it was! For all of us. We booked for next year on the last day, no doubt in anyone's mind!

2:33 am

and how is life in babble land?

2:33 am

hm. i wonder who yokowong776 will prove to be.

2:34 am

pretty well. My elder cat has a cone on, and has antibiotics due to recent vet trip. though his mouth is healing, unhappy as he is.

2:34 am

i feel guilty going to work, but alas, i need money for him as well as me. :)

2:35 am

LOLL dc, of course you do, and he will be fine. He is lucky to have an owner that takes care of him so well. And I don't know any yokowong... new babbler?

2:35 am

sharing a youtube vid w/me whoever it is. :)

2:36 am

i know enough people, or am known by enough, could be right near anyone :D LOL

2:36 am

oh, lol, on facebook? I haven't opened it yet, if I go there, I am afraid I won't play babble for a long time ;)

2:37 am

Lots of new Babblers from Tangleword - which is dead to their distress

2:37 am

sprite, i can only imagine how many notifications and invitations you have by now!

2:37 am

mayhap. i'm making nearly as many random connections on facebook as i've made on LJ. Little harder to get to know people well on facebook, though time will likely make me reconsider that

2:37 am

argh, I see, that is really frustrating for them. Dead as in forever?

2:37 am

very true, lynxxx

2:38 am

seems so, sprite

2:38 am

I am really sorry for them. Can you imagine Babble going dead on us? *shudders*

2:38 am

oh, the K gets used :)

2:38 am

Yes, apparently the crowd that took it over a while ago is no longer supporting and referring them to other games

2:39 am

iWin told helenkeller today that they will have no more classic games.

2:39 am

why, so it does, thanks dc!

2:39 am

What three-syllable word was combined with the word icicle to coin the word popsicle?

2:39 am

yw, fran. it took me by surprise!

2:39 am

lollipop, I think

2:40 am

and hi BabbleRabble :)

2:40 am

hi babrab!

2:40 am

Answer: lollypop The name popsicle was coined as a trademark in 1923 by Frank Epperson of Oakland, California. He coined it by contracting the phrase lollypop icicle.

2:40 am

Hi BabRab

2:40 am

dea n

2:40 am

I am sorry... hit space by accident in the middle of the word

2:40 am

is that someone we should know, sprite ?

2:41 am

out of practice sprite? :-)

2:41 am

morning babrab.....

2:41 am

seems that way, Fran, LOL. dc, I am sorry, what do you mean?

2:41 am

what did I win, BabbleRabble? ;)

2:41 am

i was mocking ur mistake, that's all :)

2:42 am

The word cryometer is to cold as what word is to hot?

2:42 am

argh... ok *feels adequately chastised*

2:42 am

thermometer?

2:42 am

thermometer?

2:42 am

Answer: pyrometer Cryometers measure very low temperatures; whereas pyrometers measure very high temperatures. The former derives from the Greek kryos, frost; the latter from the Greek pur, fire.

2:42 am

ooh, we're both wrong!

2:43 am

but in unison, as usual :D

2:43 am

yay! found the mosquito for firewords :)

2:43 am

you both are gollywhoppers

2:43 am

yay dc!!!

2:44 am

morning all

2:44 am

congrats, dc

2:44 am

easier grid today

2:44 am

hi lshult!

2:44 am

wtg dc! *looks up gollywhopper to see if it is a compliment or a criticism*

2:44 am

hi Ishult

2:44 am

morning, ishult!

2:44 am

fireworks

2:45 am

congrats, xanika!

2:45 am

nice one Xan

2:45 am

Congrats DC - and Xanika!

2:45 am

yay xanika!

2:45 am

flip

2:46 am

i totally forgot hah

2:46 am

hi carra!

2:46 am

Hi Fran!

2:46 am

Hi Carra

2:46 am

congrats, Xanika

2:46 am

Hi Lynxxx!

2:46 am

wtg Xanika, hi carra

2:46 am

Hi Sprite!

2:46 am

hello, carra

2:47 am

Hi Dc!

2:49 am

Wish I could get back on my schedule... i havent been able to go to bed lately.. i try and i lay in my bed for like an hour or more before falling asleep lol

2:51 am

something changed recently, carra?

2:51 am

is "fozy" a dutch word, sprite?

2:52 am

only 24 left to find, but only just found my 1st 7 (wh7/56) and still no 8's?

2:52 am

no.. its probably just a little stress

2:53 am

no, I am sorry, BabbleRabble, it is not.

2:53 am

ishult, once you find one 8, you'll get them all :)

2:54 am

TY DC, that clue made me find my third

2:54 am

superlative words grace the grid

2:57 am

how many words.. so far i have 61

2:57 am

pretty intense profile story today, BabbleRabble. Scary for sure.

2:57 am

126 carra, almost half way!

2:57 am

126 words

2:58 am

thanks

2:59 am

and it is quite predictable that each time you find a word there is one less word to find

3:00 am

unless the word you find is A. a phantom B. one you already had.

3:00 am

LOL (to both of you)

3:01 am

or it says its not a word when it is :)

3:01 am

ah well, that would be evil!

3:03 am

I can't believe reWe4/9 is not a word. If there is one thing we have to do over and over and over again, it is reWe4ing our gardens.

3:03 am

you and jilli both sprite

3:04 am

ah, that is a consolation... it is always nice to know jilli and i are of one mind :)

3:04 am

babble is not a game of words; it is a process of filling slots .... and the word police is a martinet

3:04 am

LOL, so true, babrab :D

3:05 am

only too true!

3:05 am

lots of re+ words are not in Enable, sprite. Enable hates us.

3:05 am

another astute observation babrab! :-)

3:06 am

I try to be too spiritually evolved to hate Enable right back, dc... *grumble grumble harharharrrr* Would kicking it count?

3:07 am

hi lady

3:08 am

I have fun with the indignation over stupid words; or weird words

3:08 am

each word at one time served a purpose

SPrite Mr Pres says Hi and I hope you had fun

3:08 am

wb, lady

3:09 am

even if fleetingly in a manuscript 600 years ago, via the Italian

3:09 am

ah, thanks lady!

3:09 am

even a nonce word

3:09 am

oh, I agree, BabbleRabble, but it is so wonderful to be able to grumble at Enable and not to be alone in that :)

3:10 am

okay, that's it!!!!......I'm still no closer to finding those 8's!!!!????....can someone point me in the right direction???????plz??????

3:10 am

we8 - the most we*** yard

Did you have fun MR pres

3:12 am

the garden with the most unwanted plants in it, Ishult!

Sorry sorry I was thinking of the Mr Pres. Sprite did you have fun

3:12 am

ne 8 the indigent

3:13 am

oh, sprite, mrp & lickety did not sell, as best price was 50k below reserve.

Thank you DC

3:13 am

ne8 the person that keeps on wanting things to be provided for him

3:13 am

re8 - the most overgrown swamp

3:13 am

got 'em

3:13 am

hi infernal!

3:14 am

the rexiest

3:14 am

omg... I am so sorry, dc, for them! Will drop mrP and Lickety a note today.

3:14 am

argh, BabbleRabble... that is not like you to put a word so close to the grid one in a post!

3:14 am

whant to kick myself in the head, tried every other ending but that one!!!!

3:15 am

LOL Ishult... babble blindness... SOOOO common! No reason to kick yourself.

3:15 am

the 8s were in my last 15 words, ishult, know how you feel

Hi Fran

3:16 am

only need 19 more now, but i thoink i'll take a break and same them till later, thanks guys, later

3:16 am

bye Ishult, see you later!

3:16 am

a long time ago i clued that ending

3:16 am

speaking of rexiest, i have a friend who spends some of his days photographing British Post boxes.

3:16 am

ciao, ishult!

3:17 am

MRP was saying last nite they were happy to wait for the price they wanted...Lady luck has been smiling down on them

3:17 am

for that, i am more happy than i can say, lynxxx. I'm glad they have the option of waiting

3:17 am

the wisdom of your words is never in question, BabbleRabble... just the ripeness of us babblers to digest it!

3:18 am

oh, in that case I stop worrying and start bein g happy for them, lynxxx! Thanks for the extra info!

3:19 am

I have said at times before, if you need a little information, I'm the one, I have as little as anyone

3:19 am

dc, you mentioned a mosquito earlier, that made you fireword today... is that one starting ts? Or am I on a wild goose chase right now?

3:19 am

LOLLL BabbleRabble :)

3:19 am

ae

3:19 am

ae mosquito, sprite

3:20 am

ah, thanks BabbleRabble... so that is why I couldn't find any spelling of the ts bug that took.

3:20 am

thanks dc :)

3:21 am

already had that one... forgot the meaning, LOL

3:21 am

I have been in the penalty box so much later, the word elders were threatening to charge me rent

3:22 am

*grins widely at BabbleRabble* Good thing is though, that this rent is always payable in natura.

I changed my icon

3:24 am

that is so you, lady :)

3:24 am

sweet one, lady

It is

3:29 am

I had such a wonderful time on holiday. But when I came back home yesterday, I also felt how much I missed my dear husband and great kids. So I am going downstairs for a bit to have coffee and cuddles with my family. Back later. I very much enjoy seeing you guys again as well! *hug*

3:29 am

ciao, sprite!

3:29 am

bye sprite!

3:29 am

4:16 am

yep, we're gmt-5 here

4:18 am

that's what it is in New York dc !

4:20 am

yep , Montreal, Boston, Toronto, NYC, Cleveland, Philadelphia, DC, Atlanta, Miami.

4:21 am

yes.....but I just got back from New York !!!.....that makes it special !

4:21 am

ah, i see! didn't realize you were over here. :)

4:22 am

only for 5 days, but a great 5 days

4:22 am

NYC is fun to visit. I'd not want to live there, though.

4:23 am

perhaps not at my age now, but I love it

4:24 am

that was my third visit, and I would still like to go again

4:26 am

next time you're going do let me know. I have 3 pages of restaurant/bakery recommendations from a friend of mine. Wonderful places, if not always the least expensive, not usually the most expensive either.

4:27 am

that would be good dc, thank you

4:37 am

back for now! *hugs* around for my dear fellow babblers I had not yet greeted after my short holiday

4:38 am

*hugs sprite* welcome back

4:39 am

I feel so good today... I just organised the whole weekend for us all. It is awfully busy for all 4 of us and I just found a way to fit it all into 2 days and keep free time for all of us... without panicking!

bananas

4:47 am

well done, sprite! always a challenge that with a family.

4:48 am

it has been a very long time since I have done anything like this without panic. It is definitely a good sign! :) Thanks for letting me feel you care, dc :)

4:49 am

i do, sprite. the energizing time away indubitably helps

4:51 am

for sure! Isn't it great :D And now to take it easy and not go thinking I can do it all again from now on, but taking it one step at a time, LOL... but I think I can do that.

good morning

4:54 am

big storm supposedly headed this way.

5:23 am

I need one more, then I can go back to bed. It's the de/4 just before the plural of the morning moisture.

5:23 am

Snow or rain, Eva?

5:24 am

could it be what one writes on jan?

5:24 am

They're predicting up to a foot of snow tomorrow night

5:25 am

OK finally got it. Taking a fish on up to bed... Thanks Eva.

5:25 am

the piece of furniture that is

5:25 am

yw. Sleep well

5:25 am

We're supposed to get snow today too. Though not anything like a foot. And Sunday is going to be warmer and rainy.

5:26 am

So, is this the first big snow of the season, Eva?

5:27 am

Any clues needed before I turn in?

5:33 am

Colored hair red...

5:34 am

It's always unexpected to see a past tense of a word ending in a vowel.

5:36 am

NIght all...back to bed. Happy babbling.

Yes Karys you are.

6:12 am

ouch

6:12 am

Ouch!!!

6:12 am

YOW

Esprit I got over Christmas on NOV the bleeding 4th when they put up the sodding tree at the store.

Yes owwee. I hope for a lump not a bruise

Iknow, decorations go up so early it's ridiculous

6:13 am

xmas...ick. i'm already sick of carols in every store i go to. somehow buying tooth paste, a loaf of bread and cat food for the boss doesn't bring out the spirit of the "holiday".

6:13 am

That is FAR too early. Ridiculous!

And then the crappy carols start

6:13 am

ooops..herin...you ok ?

Bonkler we will have hot cross buns on News Years Day and no im not kidding.

your boss eats cat food bonkler?

6:14 am

I've already received my first xmas card

I am ok. Just a common dumb mistake

6:14 am

i am in the employ of the being called iggy.

my sister has an iguana called iggy

6:15 am

I am expecting our first card any day now....we always have an early one from the same people every year

6:15 am

i got my first card the day after thanksgiving.

I am grateful i wasn't wearing my glasses. I could have broke them

6:15 am

people are crazy

6:15 am

people are crazy

6:16 am

I have looked for the de4/8 for ages. Any clues? Fancy being stumped on such a little word.

Erk Cards. I have to make and send mine which thus reminds me i need more sodding ink for the printer

6:16 am

you could have seriously hurt yourself if you had herin

you'll need a fish hydra, rhymes with opposite of "right"

More than likely dinted the from

6:16 am

right coffee break over...back in a bit

frame of the glasses i mean

I am going to send my own cards this year if i can print them

6:17 am

Oh! I'm so stupid Esprit. Just didn't see it up there. Thanks.

6:17 am

i've already begun turning down invitations for xmas dinners and such. december is the grit your teeth, it will be over soon month.

yw

6:17 am

Never knew it was a fish. Thought it meant quick and nifty

it's not a fish, just fishworthy for not finding

Christmas is sorted for lunch and tea we (the b.f and i) are invading his Aunts all day

6:18 am

That's some babble slang I'm not familiar with!

ooooohhhhhhhhhhh You get slapped with a fish if you miss finding an easy one

6:20 am

Now I see it. I shall slap myself in the face with a wet haddock forthwith.

gently tho

6:21 am

And I'll make sure it isn't frozen. Not like my friend who was presented with a frozen duck as his prize in a raffle, dropped it on his foot and broke all his toes!

Bonkler is iggy the pretty kitty in the icon?

Hydra that is a big oww

oh hydra!

6:21 am

that's her! she'll be 19 in january.

Awww pretty

6:21 am

He was a driving instructor too. Couldn't work for ages as he couldn't use the pedals!

I have a question for all you cat lovers

6:22 am

Fire away...

Yes

can a cat have a tail striped like a raccoon?

6:22 am

mmm

Yes

I saw a cat outside my house last week that looked like a normal cat with a raccoon tail

6:23 am

yup

yes a tabby cat would have a striped tail

looked really weird

Are you 100% sure it was a kitty not a coon as raccoons are nasty

6:23 am

Sounds like Fat Freddy's cat from the old cartoons! I loved that character

yes, it was definitely a cat

it was daytime, no mistake

I did see a raccoon last night tho too

I love Raccoons for the smartness

yes but they are destructive little buggers

Yes they are but the are hungry

6:28 am

8:11 am

this not your 1st time doing this is it scrabs ?

8:11 am

poor ladies!

8:12 am

No, we have ben doing this for several years and it is hilarious. We call ouselves the Tomfoolery Tennis Club. We have a Xmas party, a spa day in the winter, a summer party, and sometimes other activities. We have gone bowling, golfing, played croquet. And a great meal is always part of the fun.

8:13 am

sound like fun yearround !

8:14 am

No, Ata, it is fun, not torture. We salute the special aspects of their personality and/or tennis game. And we have helped and will help each other through life's challenges and diagnoses.

8:14 am

8:43 am

I found my first 40 easily, now I am working to find words.

wb scrabs

8:44 am

Just got called with a wrong number--some guy looking for Mary Lou. I am no Mary Lou.

8:45 am

no you don't sound like a Mary Lou either...

8:45 am

No, I am Scrabbler Lou.

8:45 am

lol

8:48 am

Oh, here comes the snow!!

don't ya just hate wrong numbers? I am so lucky as to have a number very close to that of a lawyer and a bowling alley...... have threatened to promise big settlements for the lawyer and take reservations for bowling lanes when i know they have no open bowling LOL

8:49 am

already came here scrabs - all white this morning !

ohhhhhh not already scrabs!

8:49 am

lol nono...

Good morning, all!

good morning Nonnie

8:50 am

Hi Nonnie!

8:50 am

'morning Nonnie !

8:50 am

snow started here about 7:45am

8:50 am

morning Nonnie

8:50 am

Haha, Nono. My number is one off from the large animal veterinary practice out here. So people often call with birthing emergencies for calves and foals, etc. I have thought about showing up at their farms as I am a pediatrician anyway.

Hello, montreal!

8:51 am

lol scrabs

Hiya annie, pab, nono and scrabs--and anyone I may have missed. Snow? Who has snow?

8:51 am

WE have snow and a snow advisory through tomorrow AM. Wahoooo for winter!

lol scrabs you could take care of the newborn for them

I wish we had snow. I love snow days :o)

8:52 am

here in Montreal, all white this AM under a beatiful sunny sky with minus 12 degrees ! who could ask for more ? ... well, maybe Nono...

8:52 am

Yes, I can take care of calves, foals, lambs, etc. Human babies are just the same, without as much hair.

thanks for excluding me montreal LOL

8:53 am

lol

We get yu k and ice. Snow is much better.

8:54 am

I used to date a vet and I explained that I am a vet for young human animals that also bite, kick, hit, pinch, spit, pee and poop on me and rip off my glasses.

hmmm...that was supposed to be "yuk"

8:54 am

nicely put scrabs !

8:55 am

I am a veterinarian for just one species of animal.

8:55 am

but at least they don't have to have Elizabethan collars to stop scratching :P

lol ata

8:56 am

Many should, Ata--we see infected rashes, picked-at sores, etc.

8:56 am

oh yes. but our hands are too clever. we get round these things

nonnie is your icon representing current conditions?

8:57 am

Actually for kids there are arm braces that prevent the elbows from bending. Parents get upset when hospitalized kids have them on.

8:57 am

but the collars could help us humans catch a signal from another alien species...

No, nono. No here :o( Our weather has turned a bit colder but no precip in sight.

8:58 am

I always have an aluminum foil hat on to protect myself.

8:58 am

I could have done with them! My mother used to have to tape thick mittens onto my hands to stop me scratching ezcema!

ah thank goodness for that nonnie,,, I fear we may have that ice by tomorrow night

8:58 am

same here Ata !

8:59 am

I have to get some things done--BBL

take care Scrabs have a great day

8:59 am

oh no, montreal :( I sympathise! But its nice to know I wasnt the only one!

8:59 am

later scrabs !

Oh no...not ice! We had an ice storm several years back that knocked out our power for a week! Some poor souls where without for nearly a month! I hope a pray yours passes quickly and without much aggrevation.

9:00 am

I can't keep typing montreal. What shortening of name do you prefer?

bye bye scrabs...have a wonderful day.

9:00 am

well Ata, it apparently lasted a full year until i got my 1st (and major) asthma attack)...

9:00 am

that sounds familiar. except I went to bronchitis for my childhood before switching to asthma

so do I nonnie in fact would prefer that it becomes a nonevent altogether

9:01 am

lou, luc, mont ...as u wish ata...

9:01 am

Luc then. I like that name. ANd there's a Luc in my favourite set of books

the local weather man this am said 1 to 3 inches of freezing rain ...... I hope he is wrong as he so often is

9:02 am

luc it is then ! - asthma took away my childhood in effect - it wasn't until i was 13 that i got the (in)famous allergy tests...

yes, nono... wrongness would be a good thing!

9:04 am

same here with bronchitis. I had very bad ezcema till I was about 4, and I mean about 70-80% body coverage, but luckily I dont really remember that. Then bronchitis till I was about 14. I was off school from about October - February nearly every year with stupid bronchitis attacks. Then asthma, and thats been the best of the three so far!

9:05 am

though I still end up in hospital nearly every year for a few days!

Oh, ata and montreal...I feel for you as my youngest suffers with similar conditions.

9:06 am

i think u had it worst then me Ata ((hugs)) - it took 4 and a half years of injections to de-sensitize me from all those allergies - have been asthma-free since the age of 18...

126 and FIREWORKS!!

9:06 am

oh no, you did! 4 and a half years of INJECTIONS!!

9:06 am

wtg nono !

congrats, nono!

9:06 am

yay Nono!

9:07 am

but at least Nonnie, there are some medications that one can take plus those inhalators - there was nothing in the olden days...

She was finally diagnosed with ichthosis vulgarus (I'm sure I spelled that wrong).

9:08 am

yes ata - 4½ years - once every week, then every 2 weeks, 3 weeks etc...

9:08 am

oh ick, thats horrid, poor girl

9:08 am

rockets here! and Nono, I love the whimsy of your video today!

Yes, montreal...she was put on the medications at an early age which helped her.

9:09 am

there is no *way* I could have done that, luc! my poor mother pretty much had to chloroform me to get me to the drs for any jab, let alone one each week LOL

congrats bbnaz!

9:09 am

wtg BB !!

thanks bbnaz and wtg!!

Ata, poor thing...are you still afraid of needles?

9:11 am

there was a side benefit for all those injections: i say bring them on now - cause i'm so used to it

well i must be off to do some puter maintenace Happy Babbling everyone

9:11 am

later Nono !

bye bye nono...have a great day!

and may no ice come your way...

9:12 am

not so much - well, I was never really scared of them. They *hurt*. And no-one believed me for years that they hurt more than anyone else's injections do LOL, then we found out I'm also allergic to some types of metal. Inlcuding the type they make hypo syringes out of. So any injection I have hurts for about a month or two afterwards. Great.

9:13 am

(((Ata)))

9:13 am

lol doesnt bother me now cos I'm used to it. But as a kid I was very unimpressed

For goodness sake! I'm so sorry for you...that had to have been awful.

9:15 am

it certainly wasn't fun. but it could have been worse

I try to remember that some things we have to endure during our childhood hopefully helps to make us stronger adults.

9:17 am

in some ways, i guess they do Nonnie..

9:17 am

I think it does. It all goes to make you who you are

9:18 am

help with the L, please i have le4/4 x 2

9:19 am

bottom row all ble - time for a break - BBL - happy babbling all !l

9:19 am

as long as you can overcome and learn from them

le 5/10

9:19 am

blue* even !

bye bye montreal...take care and have a good day.

9:19 am

thanks Nonnie

you're welcome, pab.

9:20 am

tx Nonnie - "POOF"

9:20 am

Good day, all! Only starting here but had such a nice chat yesterday after long absence I just had to say hello.

9:21 am

hi weegee

hello weegee and welcome back!

9:21 am

hey, ata. saw your notes about allergy shots. I get 2 a week now, have for about 2 years, molds in one arm, the rest in the other. Hey, nonnie!

9:22 am

Nonnie: le5: take a four-letter word for Christmas, reverse it, then finish it with a vowel

9:22 am

really? Wow. You're brave :D

thank you, gwen

I hope you get good results with the shots, weegee.

9:23 am

You're welcome. And good morning, all!

9:24 am

NO, ata! Lost 6+ weeks of work and 250+ hours of accrued sick leave a couple of years ago. Haven't had so much as a sniffle since starting shots, also twice daily generic benadryl - doesn't make me sleepy like some; rather, hyper!

9:24 am

Hi gwen!

9:24 am

yes! I consider that very brave LOL!

OK, I'm outta here. My husband offered to make breakfast and I think I should give a little assistance ;O) Take care all.

9:25 am

For shots, I just close my eyes and think of England, lol!

9:25 am

oooh got those three 8's!

9:25 am

do you go to the drs or can you do them yourself?

9:28 am

doc's office. Not legal here yet to self inject, which makes no sense since people self-inj insulin when needed. I hope nasal sprays get approved soon

9:28 am

doc's office. Not legal here yet to self inject, which makes no sense since people self-inj insulin when needed. I hope nasal sprays get approved soon

9:28 am

sorry, system hiccup.... suddenly said "less than l minute left" ??!!??

9:28 am

and MS drugs. those can be self-injected

9:28 am

yup! system hiccup!

9:29 am

actually is that just in KY that its not legal?

9:29 am

all U.S.

9:30 am

how strange. you would ahve though a weekly thing could be self-injected. ah well. healthcare never makes sense!

9:31 am

at least no insurance co-pay or charge for office visits, injections or serums

9:32 am

as you said, roll on nasal sprays!

9:33 am

hullo. new one over here!

Dana, if you pay the one-time fee to go pro, then when you have entered all the words in the day's puzzle, you see a firework display

9:36 am

thanks. 83 left to go. wheeee. this is gonna take long

9:37 am

Dana, you can scroll down to Lickety's Babble Clues and get the first 2 letters of every word in the grid

9:37 am

It will also tell you how many letters in the word and the point value of the word

9:38 am

or you can be masochistic and do it listless LOL

9:38 am

either way... is tempting. haha!

9:38 am

Yes, Atalante has a point there if you are inclined

9:39 am

Piles of laundry to do...anyone want a clue before I go?

9:39 am

all depends on your level of stubbornness LOL

9:40 am

Atalante, did you finish the grid doing it without the list?

9:40 am

not yet Annie, thanks tho

9:41 am

not yet ... 13 left!

9:42 am

go, Ata, go!

9:42 am

no clues, but I've got some laundry you can add to yours!

9:42 am

Well, I think I'll save the last 25 for later. Hope you all enjoy!

9:47 am

There is a WH 7 that is the past tense of the wh5/22

10:00 am

hi everyone, using a friends computer to be able to play on Saturday. how is everyone?

10:01 am

It sounds exactly like the past tense of having cried, but with an extra consonant!

10:01 am

thanks scarlet

10:01 am

You're welcome, Hugabugs!

10:06 am

10:08 am

10:08 am

Max is 5 months old & his x-mas present will be getting neutered :)

10:08 am

Max is 5 months old & his x-mas present will be getting neutered :)

10:09 am

Right in the South Side of Chicago, Pokey

10:09 am

Cute pup. Is he a spaniel?

10:09 am

10:10 am

Aww. Sweet little guy.

10:10 am

Holy cow...I was on an amtrak last week...connect in Chicago

10:11 am

any casualties?

10:11 am

anyone...how many words total please?

10:12 am

And then the hostage situation with Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters in Rochester, New Hampshire.... none that I know of, yet, deb... the worst injuries were from the Amtrak employees in the lead car...

10:14 am

10:15 am

LOL, Dorens.. there you go again, being logical... \

10:16 am

i know scarlet, something is wrong with me!

10:16 am

With ALL Babblers, Dorens... we ain't right

10:17 am

hi, clue please for le5?

10:17 am

The other day, I pondered a really oblique clue for a word, and Atalante immediately intuited it... that is not normal!

10:17 am

Think of the country, Sierra LE***

10:17 am

i'm not normal? *grins*

10:17 am

atalante normally intuits words normally.

10:18 am

*Grinning madly back* We know, Ata...we know~

10:18 am

Very encouraging news, Scrabbler. Back pain is crippling!

10:36 am

*DUH* helps if I remember HOW to spell the country!!

Yes, I also have a 12 yo named Annie. Completely deaf now and doesn't say too much either. Gets along with the little guy too.

10:51 am

No, not a cheesehead. I'm originally from down south, more of a Texas A&M fan :)

10:51 am

back from phone call, one left ho5/12. i am sure i will deserve a fish but am going blind. (pitiful combo , one-armed & blind) can anyone help ;)

10:51 am

10:52 am

Go Aggies!! Sorry about the coaching turnover, though!

10:52 am

These two spaniels are my second and third overall. I can't help myself...they're so sweet and gentle. Plus,they're the perfect size.

10:52 am

10:52 am

I agree. I have one (in my pic) and she's just a *joy*

10:53 am

10:56 am

yes we did sausage & pepperoni

10:56 am

Yes!! :-)

10:58 am

there is a limit to my good naturedness (?) hubby hasnt quite figured that the laundry, food, etc dont just magically appear when i twitch my nose so now am having to be very explicit in what i need help with

10:59 am

LOL... beth, welcome to wifehood... it is an unknown world to men, as a rule... but, if good intentions pave the pathway to heaven, my darling beloved is certainly going there!

10:59 am

10:59 am

11:00 am

11:00 am

11:00 am

*Caught it, Luc*

11:01 am

Do you have a brother, perhaps named Jean Pierre or something similarly attractive?

11:02 am

11:02 am

*laughing out loud now*

11:02 am

Voila! A whole bunch of French brothers for me!

11:03 am

11:03 am

How many children in your family, Luc?

11:03 am

does anyone need help before i go chase parrot off kitchen table?

11:03 am

11:04 am

Go and chase parrots, Beth... good seeing you today... be well and rest that arm... Spring Training awaits! LOL

11:47 am

haz! we have another spanielette on babble :) called Pokey71, she has 2 cockers

11:50 am

Aha - another spaniel fancier? She shows good taste.

11:50 am

Is Pokey another Tangleword exile?

11:50 am

anyone have clues for the re5/10 and 6/18?

11:51 am

before i pull my hair out!!

11:51 am

re5/10 - add another consonant to the preceding re4/4, then plural it.

11:51 am

not sure where she appeared from, but she has a 5 month cocker and a 12 year old cocker. very sensible

11:51 am

(The last two letters could be short for a street or a saint, if that's any help, sassy)

11:52 am

A 5 month cocker would be lovely. I saw a baby springer the other day. Thought about kidnapping it from the owner, but decided against it.

11:53 am

thx so much, haz. i think i seriously have a hatred for re words after yesterday's grid

11:53 am

They were a bit disporportionate yesterday, I'll give you that.

11:54 am

I think I might have done. liver or black?

11:54 am

Liver. It had stopped in the street, obviously exhausted, and the owner swept it up in his arms. So cute!

11:55 am

darling!

11:55 am

I might have staged an intervention if the owner had been nasty, but he seemed to be caring!

11:56 am

good. we like caring spaniel owners

11:57 am

Have you been up to any artistic endeavours today?

11:58 am

oh yes. but its Secret

11:58 am

11:58 am

Hello harpjane.

11:58 am

Oooh, Secret. Do we talk in hushed whispers?

11:59 am

too secret even for hushed whispers!

12:00 pm

Gosh, do we need to speak in code? Or should it not even be talked about at all?

12:00 pm

not to be talked about - yet :)

12:00 pm

Afternoon, cats and kittens (and spaniels)!

12:00 pm

fireworks finally - haven't had time to keep at it for a long time

12:00 pm

Understood. Careless talk costs lives and mum's the word etc.

12:01 pm

Good afternoon Judi - the spaniel greets you also.

12:01 pm

Congratulations gracew4/8.

12:03 pm

If Judi is the good cop, who's going to be the bad cop? 'Tell us, or the puppy gets it!'

12:03 pm

12:04 pm

Nonsense. I'm always the bad cop. *Dangles chocolate in front of puppy*

12:04 pm

12:04 pm

Is it poisoned chocolate?

12:05 pm

ae5 - has the same ending as the March date that Caesar was to beware.

12:05 pm

Or, ae plus the start of Othello's wife's name.

12:05 pm

Or ae plus what comes before Miserables on stage.

12:06 pm

Scrub the last one.

12:06 pm

That would make it Some Glums instead of The Glums.

12:06 pm

hello everyone :)

12:07 pm

Hello cybernan.

12:07 pm

Hiya, Cybernan!

12:08 pm

Sassy: se 5/12: brownish hue in olde photographs.

12:08 pm

12:09 pm

Yes, ae5/12 - last three letters was what I was cluing.

12:09 pm

Oops. Upon closer inspection, realize tizer's dog is not a husky. Cute anyway, though!

12:09 pm

ty,ty haz and judi

12:10 pm

Last three letters of the date Julius was to beware and also beginning of Othello's wife.

12:10 pm

12:10 pm

12:10 pm

No, just the last three, sorry, should have made that clearer.

12:11 pm

12:12 pm

You're practically done, cybernan. One last push with the list.

12:28 pm

we8 builds on one of the we4s

12:28 pm

12:28 pm

*!* ta da *!* -- was just missing some plurals, pt's and one I thought was a proper noun. :)

12:28 pm

12:31 pm

ty Nan-

12:31 pm

any more clues wanted before I get on with my day?

12:32 pm

a musical direction represented by a double daggar

12:32 pm

nope- I'm good Nan

12:32 pm

using the list

12:32 pm

Yes, nan, is investing in porkbellies a good strategy now?

12:33 pm

and what does the double dagger direct one to do, br?

12:33 pm

have no idea, lol, -- my husband was the stock trader, not me!

12:33 pm

it is a form of pause I believe

12:34 pm

in all my years of music lessons and fiddling I didn't come across that one!

12:34 pm

Me either Nan

12:35 pm

wh7?

12:35 pm

I will ask my Dad- he was a part time professional

12:35 pm

wh7- past tense of the word above it

12:35 pm

past tense of the wh 5/22, robo

12:36 pm

thank you

12:36 pm

weird word. does anyone know what it means?

12:37 pm

no definition in enable, robo

12:37 pm

maybe a hiccupy cry?

12:37 pm

clue on that wh5/22 and also musical double dagger notation??

12:38 pm

maybe

12:38 pm

wh5 -- sound like to cry

12:38 pm

are the two de4/9's related?

12:38 pm

musical notation is pluralized di 4/5

12:38 pm

the wh that means "few"... can't figure out how to past tense it...

12:39 pm

di4/5... clue?

12:39 pm

no harp

12:39 pm

no harp -- one is what you sit at in school and the other is morning moisture(s)

12:39 pm

jpb croaks exits bites it etc

12:39 pm

di 4/5: expires

12:39 pm

thanks cyber

12:40 pm

oh like di++ ire... that one I have

12:40 pm

so how do we get musical daggers ffrom that???

12:40 pm

jbp becomes an ex parrot.... for the di4 one, just in case there are any python fans out there

12:40 pm

Finished- going to start my day

12:41 pm

a di 6 is a comma type of musical interval, usually meaning the difference between three justly tuned major thirds (tuned in the frequency ratio 5:4) and an octave (in the ratio 2:1), equal to 128:125 or about 41.06 cents. In 12-tone equal temperament, on a piano for example, three major thirds in a row equal an octave, but three justly-tuned major thirds fall quite a bit flat of an octave, and the diesis describes the amount by which they are flat.

12:41 pm

congrats, DR

12:41 pm

br said a word, br said a wooooooooooooord....

12:41 pm

nice day in CA, DR?

12:41 pm

ty BR- everyone have a great day!

12:41 pm

12:42 pm

sounds like synonym for parish... also could be german neuter definite article?

12:42 pm

wow... BabbleRable, that was quite the clue

12:42 pm

it's a musical term you only use in the classroom, believe me!

12:42 pm

Congrats DR

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

12:44 pm

12:48 pm

I'm listening to opera right now and i think that tenor is doing it also....

2:06 pm

Giving EvaNadine a wave!

I've never been to either of those zoos. I just love tigers. :)

2:06 pm

2:07 pm

i just finished as well - we5 was my last - w + compass direction misspelled

2:07 pm

Wave's to Haz et al. I'm a bit late starting today.

hey, feather. there are a few ugly ones, but not the worst

2:07 pm

Hello Jacula - are you on the night shift?

yay, dan

hey, jac

2:07 pm

EEK! Extraneous apostrophe alert. *Smacks self*

2:08 pm

It's the time of year. Or maybe it's your age.

2:08 pm

hi haz! hi jacula!

jac, it's the style (alas) of the times.

2:08 pm

I am, Haz. Been busy but also saved grid as P's on a boys' night out.

2:08 pm

I think you'll enjoy it!

2:09 pm

Hello Eva - are you glad to see some familiar faces?

2:09 pm

I'm sure I shall, Haz. 43 left to find and I only started 10 mins ago.

you're fast, jac

2:10 pm

In the words of Simon and Garfunkel 'Slow down, you move too fast, you've got to make babble last'

2:10 pm

Fast, moi? Don't let the fishnet stocking fool you, tyger. *grins*

2:10 pm

Or words to that effect.

2:10 pm

definitely, haz -- was starting to think i was growing invisible. ;)

2:10 pm

LOL, Haz. Nice one.

well, you're faster than I am. Of course, you're also younger. :)

2:11 pm

Eva, I was including you in the 'et al' but I'mm say a special hello to you. Hello Eva. xx

2:11 pm

Enjoying the weekend, Eva? Did you have to stay late at work on Friday?

2:11 pm

Hello all

2:11 pm

yeah, a little late, unfortunately, but it was ok. :)

2:12 pm

Hi, jilli.

2:12 pm

Hello jillibus!

hey, jilli

2:12 pm

hey all

2:12 pm

back for a while

2:12 pm

How was the show? (That's to jill.)

hey, praise!

2:12 pm

That's no so bad. I had visions of you slaving away for hours.

2:12 pm

jac, I love your wee bit o' scotland!

how's the RA today?

2:12 pm

how is it going tyger?

2:12 pm

doing pretty well

that is a cute icon, isn't it, jilli!

2:12 pm

don't like this cold weather tho

I'm okay, a bit sleep-lagged, but I'll come awake eventually

2:13 pm

lovely -- managed to noodle all 3 8-letter words on my own. *W00T!* now just gotta find the 7s...

2:13 pm

jilli - thanks. There's a link to haggis cams & games, too, in my bio.

2:13 pm

still having trouble sleeping :(

2:13 pm

??

I'm just thankful to discover it was only a glitch this morning when my wireless keyboard & mouse didn't work.

always, praise. don't worry about it, please

2:14 pm

k I won't

2:14 pm

sorry tho

or was that you, too? if so, have you talked to Dr.?

2:15 pm

haz -- yeah, came home + lay down for about 2 hours...was gonna just relax all night, but friends came over + i decided to go out with them. (just one beer, dont worry!) glad i went out + didnt waste the whole night...

2:15 pm

well I do from time to time

2:15 pm

The show was very interesting, funny and different. it was called Boney and the Billy Ruffians and was about plays put on by the crew of the Bellerophon when Napoleon was a captive aboard her.

2:15 pm

hello, everyone! could someone help with le5/10, please?

2:15 pm

have restless legs sometimes

hey, vanessa

2:15 pm

african country sierra le***

le5/10: Sierra Le***

2:15 pm

Sounds great, jilli. Hetty's so clever.

quoting dan, who now chimed in too

2:16 pm

tyger, thanks! :)

I think I read they have a med for that now, praise

yw, vanessa

2:17 pm

well I take a muscle relaxer

2:17 pm

usually takes care of it

without dan's (and another kind person) help, I wouldn't have it, either :)

2:17 pm

It was done by request of the Royal Navy and there was a Lieut-Commander present -- more to arrive for tonight's performance IF they can get here from Victoria -- big snowstorm!

I've got a muscle relaxer, but haven't been taking it lately. it never seems to help me a whole lot, but maybe it would now I've been off it for a while

2:18 pm

Hetty must be so proud and excited, jilli.

2:19 pm

Hetty is EXHAUSTED!

2:19 pm

That, too, jilli!

jilli, Hetty is ???? (relative?)

2:20 pm

BBS - laundry to see to.

2:20 pm

The Navy chap had come over from England and is staying with Hetty. He has a marvellous singing voice and joined in the songs included in the performance -- also gave a sampling during the interval. Wow!

2:21 pm

any hints for the S on the right or the Es in the row beneath it?

2:22 pm

Let me have a look for you.

2:22 pm

Eva -- one for an E is the duck

2:22 pm

ew4 - a container

eva, there's a kind of sword - that's one of those e's

2:23 pm

se5 - like the olde worlde photographs, where the women kept their clothes on, and lots of them.

oops, I gave a wrong one. it's a word, but not one you're looking for. sorry

2:23 pm

I have a word for the S but can't figure our which one came from there

2:24 pm

Haz haz it

only s -es I can be sure of are ones originating in the other one

2:24 pm

thanks all!

LOL, jilli.

and who, please, is Hetty?

2:25 pm

brb -- dryer calling

2:25 pm

I'm back.

2:25 pm

Hetty's a Babbler, tyger.

2:25 pm

Hetty is Wonder Woman in disguise.

oh. okay. thanks

I couldn't figure out if she was a friend or relative :)

2:26 pm

Eva, still trying to locate that other s, or have you got it?

2:27 pm

have the photo-color one, but dont have the other...not looking all that hard though...heh

2:27 pm

gonna break for food now -- STARVING!

for those e words, Eva, one of them refers to the letter E

2:27 pm

se5/10 - plural of se4/4 , looking like a different rendition of a sea animal.

2:28 pm

woo hoo...fireworks!!

I'm generally useless for things like figuring out which of several choices originated a given word. I just churn away at all of them :P

yay, pokey

2:29 pm

Well done, Pokey.

2:29 pm

Congratulations Pokey!

every one I get is a plus, doesn't matter where I found it :D

2:29 pm

It only becomes meaningful, tyger, when you're asked for a specific location for a clue.

I know Haz. I was just trying to apologize for not being much help

2:30 pm

It's okay, you've probably helped others get words.

I try to do clueing every day, when I can

I feel so indebted for the times when I need clues

and too often, when I need help, I seem totally brainless

2:32 pm

29 to find and I'm slowing down now.

2:33 pm

Sedate walk instead of mad dash?

2:34 pm

Puff, pant... gasp... yes, Haz.

2:35 pm

Company's just arrived, better greet them!

2:35 pm

Wonder why you can't rewe4/9? My garden constantly requires it!

dunno, jac. I tried that one, too

2:35 pm

See you later, Haz.

but you can certainly do the one with one fewer vowel :)

later, haz

2:36 pm

Floats into babbleland on the zyphr of the last strains of Vaughan Williams Tallis Fantasia. Serenly greets everyone and gently settles in big comfy armchair smiling beningly.

2:36 pm

Yes, tyger. re5/20 - the triumph of hope over experience. :)

hey, mitch

2:36 pm

FMitch - BOO!

LOL, jac. how true!!

2:37 pm

LOL Jacs hello.

2:37 pm

So sorry, FM. Did I make you jump?

love your icon, mitch

2:38 pm

Oh goodie, wasn't sure if it would show up big enough tyger.

2:38 pm

ROFLOL - I see the special key. What does is convert the clues to, FM?

nothing sedate about you today, jac :shakes head: :)

2:38 pm

(She's going to say 'words', I guess.)

I admit I had to look closely, mitch, but your font is VERY clean

2:39 pm

teehee

2:39 pm

Wipes specs. It says clue generator not converter.

2:39 pm

It actually says clue generator

right, jac. I was wondering exactly where you were coming from on that

2:40 pm

Where's Haz gone? Are you hiding her Jacs?

2:40 pm

ahh, now its starting to look like a Babble Weekday here -- hiya FMitch!

2:40 pm

She's gone to greet visitors, FM.

the right font can transform things, and IMO, mitch, You Done Good ;)

2:40 pm

Hey EvaN!

2:41 pm

Laundry again... BBS.

2:42 pm

tyger, it comes from a great webside, the hardest part is thinking up witty things to say.

several people are wearing a path in the carpet between their PCs and their dryers

2:42 pm

dont let the BF hear this, but MAN, its hot in here!

the right words are always a challenge

2:43 pm

LOL EvaN, what you been up to?

but I think that that's a really inspired icon. be proud. :)

2:43 pm

Bobs a curtsey to tyger, thank you.

yw

2:44 pm

FMitch, dunno -- im in bed, under the covers, with the laptop on my lap + wearing a fleece shirt -- maybe that has something to do with it?

I think I'm going to have to take a break. my eyes are not yelling yet, but the tone is decidedly crotchety

eva, it's a wonder you're not roasting :)

you've got a heat generator in your lap, after all

2:45 pm

See you again tyger That sounds all lovely and toastie EvaN

2:45 pm

im usually freezing....hence why i dont want him to knw im hot -- he will just have more reason to keep it cooler in here!

I'll try to come back in a while

2:47 pm

I'm back and I think Haz took my final 27 words off with her.

2:48 pm

If I had a laptop I think I would be permanently plugged into the world. I spend enough time infront of a PC as it is. Where's your fighting spirit Jacs - go find em or steal them back!

2:49 pm

Will do, FM. *Sits up straight and concentrates.*

2:49 pm

That the ticket!

2:50 pm

when i moved in here with the BF back in august, their wireless network was secured + the guy who moved out took all the passwords with him... since i used the computer all day at work, i didnt care too much about not having the laptop at home, but now im hooked into the network

2:52 pm

Oh I so love YouTube. think of a song type it in et voila.

2:53 pm

Me, too, FM.

2:54 pm

you guys will probably love this video, then: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fETrk totmyw

2:54 pm

I'm messing about making keys for myself on GG site now, FM! You're to blame.;)

2:54 pm

evening everyone :-)

2:54 pm

Where else can you go from The Stranglers/Golden Brown via Bad Company, Ricky Lee Jones and end up with Vaughan Williams - my musical tastes are, er, broad?

2:55 pm

isnt it kind of redundant to say that FMitch is to blame? ;)

2:55 pm

LOL jacs and Hi katie. Oh will go have a look EvaN

2:56 pm

Guess so, EvaN. Hi, katie.

2:56 pm

DI 6 PLEASE oops yelling...hi all

2:57 pm

2:57 pm

Sorry, joanne. I don't have it yet.

2:58 pm

im guessing you have to pay for a membership before you can access clues?

2:58 pm

EvaN that is hillarious, I've seen another wedding vid like that but the bride was wearing a crinoline and it looked sooo funny!

2:59 pm

joanne it is a plural

2:59 pm

There's a spray for 'pet accidents', jilli but soda water often solves that kind of problem, or bicarb.

2:59 pm

having a little fun here, got to 94 and now at a standstill

2:59 pm

dam, look at the link to lickties clues at the bottom of the page, available to everyone

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

6:44 pm

hmm, sounds like I inadvertantly/subliminally got to you herin :-D

6:44 pm

Thank you angelinaxox. I didn't watch the show much

6:45 pm

i buy the non sweetened soya milk herin...never tried the choc flavour...could be too sweet for me

6:45 pm

good Lil, resting at the moment, hubby is here sleeping and the dogs went to groomers today and they are soft. Nice day.

Probably SK but choc soy is damn good. Kinda got an aversion to lactose

i used to watch it all the time when i was a a little kid

Lili i buy Vitasoy Choc bliss.

6:46 pm

didn't get the 'dark brown' clue for the se5/12 words. any other hints, plz?

SPanky don't let the dogs roll in gross things as they tend to do

6:46 pm

is choc soy better? I tried reg soy...not a fan...tho I understand it's much better for you...

6:46 pm

glad you are all having a restful day spanky

6:46 pm

i get alpro lite herin

6:47 pm

se - then straight sown the right side

6:47 pm

se 5/12 is the ser*ant and the rainbow and 2 vowels.

6:47 pm

nm, I monkeyed it. Thanks anyway

SK i don't taste the difference now. Then again i would give a toe to be able to have full cream milk and white bread (mmmmmm white bread bacon sandwiches) again

6:47 pm

My dogs are pretty clean dogs. The blonde hates to be wet, so she tends to not do that. The black dog - well he is more the tomboy.

6:47 pm

The se 5/12 word is e plus the pi 4/5 word momof5.

Spanky what type of dogs you have

6:48 pm

LOL my hubby is addicted to bacon sandwiches w/ mayo..."heart stoppers" I call them

I used to work as a chef

6:49 pm

I have 2 mixed labs. the girl is all blonde and the boy is all black. They are mixed with something smaller. She is about 6 and he is 4

6:50 pm

i'm the same as you angel...i use to love the brady bunch when i was little...the old series was better than the film though

Oh cute puppies

6:50 pm

wow herin, then I guess it's a little easier(?) knowing how to sub-out more figure friendly foods for the baddies

yes, i agree

6:51 pm

we use to have a golden retriever..he was as soft as muck..i miss him

Yes defiantly. I love turkey mince over beef mince as the beef mince is fairly crappy when you cant buy top grade (there is 3 of us in the house and we spend about $150 - $200 a fortnight on food

6:53 pm

help with NE8/45, plz?

6:54 pm

Gee

6:54 pm

One who requires the most (ne8 builds off 4)

6:54 pm

mom, all the 8's are the same, beginning middle and ending

6:54 pm

all the 8's end the same way momof5

6:55 pm

all of them??? :o Wish I knew that!

6:55 pm

yes uni

most in ne?? of help

6:55 pm

Thanks. I thought that was it but didn't see the letters connecting correctly.

So SK what is Russia like?

6:58 pm

A ne 8/45 word is one who is the most ne 4/5 momof5

7:01 pm

Russia is very different than the "western" world herin...must have govt permission to go from one town to the next, food is bland (but great soups - that's what I'm living on here), and the people son't look you in the eye

WOOOOOOOOOOOT we finally have a politician in favour of gay rights. Also today John Howard is nomore

Wow SK i didn't think Russia was like that.

7:01 pm

great herin, I understand that's been a sticky issue there for awhile

Yes it is a sticky issue. It should me equal rights for everyone. Which will be brilliant

7:04 pm

it is still very "backwards", technology is about 1970's level, not many people will tolerate a tall Texan with a RU/Eng dictionary either LOL I wish the US would adopt more favorable rights for gays

Sk i guess the people there have it hard in RUssia.

7:05 pm

I guess the US is still kinda "backwards" too ;-)

SK have you been on the Trans Siberian Railway and all that? Sorry to bug you find it fascinating.

fireworks

Yah ANge

7:06 pm

That's the strange thing, herin...they don't know they have it hard...status quo for them. As a Russian citizen you are not allowed to leave the country for longer than a month...if you don't come back they will hunt you down and put you in jail

7:07 pm

wtg ang!!

7:07 pm

Woohoo Angelina!! **party**

wow that is mind boggling.

7:07 pm

No haven't been on the Trans-C...have to get permission to leave Krasnoyark, and sinse my husband is working we don't get the chance

7:07 pm

Yeah Angel!!

thanks, and have a good night

OH you need permission. I can't get my head around that. That is crazy.I would like to know why you need permission to go to another place

7:09 pm

skheiny....sorry, i don't understand how the russians need permission to leave a town but they can travel abroad!

7:09 pm

nite angel and take care

Night Angel

7:11 pm

they keep track of your where-abouts at all time, herin, in fact my hubby has had a KGB guy tailing him since he started, and they are quite obvious about it, too! They don't want him "stealing" 1970's tech I guess LOL They have to get a Visa to leave, have an exact itinerary and reason for there trip, same even if just going to another town. Basically most Rusiians never leave their city of birth

Wow.

7:12 pm

yup

I can't imagine needing permission to go into Melbourne to do a spot of shopping.

7:12 pm

ne8,45 anyone?

note that sound is my head imploding at the lack of freedom the people have and how little the world knows about it

SPanky most ne?? ( you really want it)

7:13 pm

ne is more of the ne4/5 spanky

7:14 pm

neither can I, however, every town is self sufficient..radio/tv stations, all kinds of shopping (infact thta's the best part about Russia...shops galore, and with the exchange rate I'm keeping many of them in business LOL) that's the thing, there freedom is lacking, but services are still tolerable

7:14 pm

sebum secco

7:14 pm

silly me...it was there the whole time! ;)

7:14 pm

silly me...it was there the whole time! ;)

7:15 pm

i'm not being funny spanky, but i go to egypt alot on hols and so do russians...alot of them are even living there.

7:15 pm

sorry, meant skheiny

SK i still cant think about it. wow. Ok must partake in a shower i am stinky. It is about 30C already

7:17 pm

so if its so hard for them to tavel around their own country, how is it so easy for them to leave it??

7:17 pm

i cannot figure out the es, can someone clue me?

And i have to hunt down a tshirt as i still haven't unpacked since winter

7:17 pm

elle, repeat it again

7:18 pm

the letters i meant

7:18 pm

there are Russians everywhere I guess lill, but the ones who live there are more than likely on working visas or tourists

7:18 pm

herin, i'm the other way...now packing away summer clothes and getting the winter ones out!

7:19 pm

good hunting herin! nice chatting w/u

I moved in winter so there is not much un packed

7:51 pm

tyty

7:52 pm

The ae 5/12 word is ae plus the I*** of March Amyjv.

It's my guess the films will have soundtracks with lots of gunshots and explosions or, if not, moaning and groaning (but we won't dwell on those!). He's taken his sleeping bag and a change of clothes and will be back sometime Sunday (or, later today, rather).

Lil - I will enjoy. I'm just hoping his disgestive system processes the beer(s) and curry before Sunday night. If it doesn't, my son's away visiting his girlfriend in Friesland (area of Holland where the Friesian cows come from) and so I may well grab my pillow and move into an 'unpolluted' environment, if you get my drift.;)

8:43 pm

Well, lil, if you woke up in the night, not realising you weren't in your own room, you might walk into something, too! LOL One of my uncles, who worked odd hours that meant he got home after bedtime and in the dark, regularly barked his shins/bumped his head/fell over things that weren't there before he left for work... my auntie used to get bored very frequently and move the furniture around.

8:43 pm

I feel like Spies Like Us... Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor... LOL Loving the out-Christmas-ing dcseain! Haven't put up the tree yet (which will go in the front window), but have 500 mini lights out front.... keeping in mind, it's a townhome 8-)

8:45 pm

i fall over things and into things every day jac as i don't have any balance, so my mean sense of humour thinks its funny when he does it because it makes a change from me.....i know, i'm wicked!!

8:46 pm

Jen - no chance of us putting any Christmas decs up yet as sitting room is still like a warehouse due to my kids having dumped stuff there. ('Kids 'are 20 and 23, btw.) A house just around the corner has had all the Christmas stuff up since November 5th! I prefer to leave things until 2 weeks-10 days before Christmas. Did get 1st Xmas card on 30th Nov., though but that was from relatives in Canada and so excusable.

8:46 pm

plus i have an excuse, his was drink orientated!!

8:46 pm

evening all...i need assistance with my last word please le 5

8:47 pm

You are wicked, Lil but (in Dick Emery voice, without the accompanying shove, since your balance isn't good) 'I like you!'.

Goodbye evanonut! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:30 pm

{{{nutski!}}} where you been? we had a lot of power problems today...

9:30 pm

There's an art to poking snoring men in the ribs, btw. The degree of sharpness of the poke is vital to success. To little and they carry on snoring, too much and they turn a complete circle and carry on where they left off after much snorting, tooth grinding and maybe the odd bout of flatulence or two. The correct grade of poke accompanied by threats voiced aloud at just the right pitch, volume and tone can work wonders.*grins*

9:30 pm

only got on recently. snow here too!

9:30 pm

second HE 5/12 please?

Welcome back Scrabbler

9:34 pm

yw stid

9:35 pm

Hi Stid--how is life for you and in the Pacific NW? It is quite cold and wintry here.

9:35 pm

Hi, Atom

9:35 pm

Hi, Scrabbs. I'm just 'hanging out' as you Yanks say. (Over here, to people my age, that phrase would mean you're 'flashing'. LOL.)

9:35 pm

sw5/20... depending on which one, the first like like a person from the scandanavian country and the other is to use a broom

9:35 pm

Well, Jacula, I am "hanging", but under a sweatshirt.

9:35 pm

what is the appropriate term/phrase there, jac?

how is everyone

9:36 pm

last sw5/18 is like to curse, but change the 2nd vowel

9:36 pm

Incidentally, in this world of polictical correctness, I do hope no one wants to flog me, imprison me or have me killed for using the term 'Yanks'.

9:36 pm

it actually snowed a bit here today Scrabbler, just enough to get everyone all in a tizzy. Might get a bit more this evening, but it's not bad

9:36 pm

re6/33--must have the W in it, I guess, but I don't see it.

9:36 pm

and Jac, I don't mind Yank at all :)

9:36 pm

Thanks Jen!

9:37 pm

Jac, if a north american called me that i'd be insulted, but i know outside of NA, that's the term for us unitedstatesians :)

9:39 pm

Hello featherbee! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

9:39 pm

:)

9:39 pm

Hi, Scrabbler!

9:40 pm

Hi, feather, too!

9:40 pm

think i'll grab the list

9:40 pm

TY, Seain. And I am done---too tired and shameless to not ask for a clue for my last word.

9:40 pm

hey, feater! welcome

9:40 pm

Hi Pam. How are you? Hi featherbee.

9:40 pm

How does one get into the Scrabulous games twixt Babbler on Facebook? I'm in 4 with friends from real life on there.

9:40 pm

Congratulations Scrabbler on fireworks!Good for you

9:40 pm

yay, scrabbler! congrats!

9:40 pm

hi, Feather

anyonee get the o word

9:40 pm

So odd to see you this late, Scrabs!

9:41 pm

there you go feather, you WIN at scrabble! LOL no surprise there...

9:41 pm

it's the past of an exclamation, atom

9:41 pm

How is Mary, Scrabs?

9:41 pm

oh 4/6 word is oh + a past tense ending AtomSmasher

anyone*

9:41 pm

YAY Scrabbler!

9:41 pm

sorry stid! i felt kinda bad about that one actually!

9:41 pm

jac, do you mean you have games going on the scrabulous site already?

9:42 pm

so stid, will you ever play me again after that?

9:42 pm

I just got home from our tennis/Xmas party and I need to unwind before bed. I will be seeing Mary's baby in the AM for a 2 mo well baby visit. It is the best time for the husband to bring her in. Mary has 9 more radiation treatments to go. She is weak physically but strong in spirit.

9:42 pm

feather - I do! I didn't start 'em (still haven't worked out how to do that yet) but I've been put into 4 by my friends.

9:43 pm

I am thinking of her, scrabs!

9:43 pm

Atom - past tense an exclamation or surprise is oh4.

i got it

9:43 pm

After I see the baby tomorrow then I work my Sunday shift of sick kids for 3 hrs or so.

9:43 pm

i don't think if you have a game going on the regular scrabulous site that it can be transferred to the facebook scrabulous application. they're the same site, but run by two different applications perhaps

9:44 pm

Keep sending positive energy to Mary. TY, Pam.

9:44 pm

I have a pal in CT whose 7-year-old daughter had SEVERE headaches and nausea and her former pede was convinced it was stress. My friend got a second opinion, who immediately scheduled a CT scan. I thought about you--your profession and the kids--a lot, Scrab. Scan was clear, they are ruling out migraines and allergies now...

9:44 pm

Scrabbler, I hope the visit with Mary's baby goes well. How nice to be able to watch after her child this way. I hope the radiation treatments go quickly for her.

9:44 pm

Is that shift in hospital, scrabs? (((((((HUGS)))))))

9:45 pm

I can't see the SL words ... none of them ..l am I blind???

9:45 pm

oh sure feather -- I could hardly do worse next time.... LOL

9:45 pm

trying to finish before nick wakes up, and am stuck on the very first one! ae5 please?

9:45 pm

feather - no, this is on the Facebook thing. I only ever played Scrabulous solo before. When I joined Facebook after requests from one 'real life' friend and one 'Babble' friend... who, incidentally must be real life because I talk to them almost every day... my other friends swarmed in to check out the word game.

9:45 pm

you go ahead and start it stid, since i started the last game. if you don't have a preference, use the sowpods dictionary!

9:46 pm

ae + "It is your ***tiny, Luke" said Darth Vader

9:46 pm

sounds like a disesase that is very common in Africa, and often fatal, ae5

9:46 pm

so you just need to know how to find your games?

9:46 pm

got it, ty

9:46 pm

fun clue, zinnia

9:46 pm

feather - that covers it, yes.

9:47 pm

Today is world A*** day, harp

9:47 pm

okay feather, next game started. I got a doozy of a first word!

9:47 pm

oops. didn't see about the sowpods... sorry.

9:47 pm

ok, over on the left side is a list of applications. you should see scrabulous as one of them. if you don't see it, click the "more" button. once you click it, your games should be listed for you.

9:47 pm

no prob stid!

9:47 pm

Not blind re the sl words, Zinnia, just a little 'skewed'.

9:48 pm

yes, i knew it was around now but wasn't sure it was today

9:48 pm

woo hoo stid! excellent! she did "spitz" with the Z on a double letter and also on a double word spot, for 52 points!

9:48 pm

feather - I've done that but don't see any games otheer than those my other friends have put me into.

9:48 pm

December 1, Harp...

9:49 pm

:-D I was so clever! *patting self on back*

9:49 pm

Mind you, I don't have many Babbler on my 'friends' list yet.

9:49 pm

Maybe that's it?

9:49 pm

sl 4/8 is there are a sl** of people at Times Square on New Year's Eve TXZinnia and sl6/33 is the past tense

9:49 pm

ohh! i see jac! if you want to start a new game, click the new game button near the top. you can invite anyone who is your friend. if you want to join a random game with a stranger, click join game.

9:49 pm

Haven't had time to really explore the site yet or check up and how many 'allows' I dare do for the various applications.

9:49 pm

(Zinnia in tiny voice like Vincent Price in "The Fly") ... help me! ( Still need those sl words.....)

9:50 pm

So, for friends, to get the Babble folks, I need to seek you all out?

9:50 pm

Thanks minverv

9:50 pm

TXZinnia did you see my sl clues at 9:49. Jut clued it.

9:50 pm

yes, you can get application crazy. sometimes i add them just to see what they are, then delete them immediately.

9:50 pm

zinnia: sl 4/8 killed; past tense for the 6/33, plural for the 5

9:50 pm

a sl** of paperwork covered my desk, plus past and plural.

9:50 pm

jac, click on the groups application, and do a search for "babblers worldwide"

9:50 pm

great stid!

9:51 pm

Life will get very busy if I hook you lot up with my other friends! We're all word lovers!

9:51 pm

you'll see us all there.

9:51 pm

I have been doing that too feather, and feeling guilty sometimes... there are just too many "toys" on facebook, and I am old and too tired to play that much

9:51 pm

Okay, feather. Will do. *Note to self... should I do this so near to Christmas?*

9:51 pm

thanks, too, DC -- Y'all -- I only have 20 left!! OMG, I might actually see what "Fireworks" means!

Got it harpjane -- just wouldn't have spelled it that way

10:00 pm

ty

10:00 pm

10:01 pm

10:01 pm

Short name for a lion in astrology + consonant + vowel.

10:03 pm

Hi

10:04 pm

Spanky -- Where in Texas?

I am kinda lurking. No one is home so i can do anything i want

10:04 pm

Hi, herin....

10:04 pm

Dripping Springs

10:04 pm

rural area outside Austin

10:04 pm

Cedar Park for me

10:05 pm

That sounds like a serious vehicle fault, Spanky! LOL. Sorry!

10:05 pm

Yeah, I know "Drippin'

10:05 pm

lol herin!

10:05 pm

cute video today

10:05 pm

Cedar park....Gee, so close, yet so far. HA

10:05 pm

Jac -- It's GORgeous there!

10:05 pm

Yeah, Spanks -- I drive through there (on purpose) sometimes when I go to San Antonio for work

10:06 pm

Yeah, but we are going to move over to Buda soon.

10:06 pm

We have LONG commutes.

10:06 pm

por que?

10:06 pm

Well, if people around the world insist on taking the pee out of 'Lickey End', an area nearby where I live... LOL

10:06 pm

Jac -- that's funny!

10:07 pm

See my flickr pics to see how lovely it is where I live.

10:07 pm

I don't understand, Jac...

10:07 pm

Of course, Spanky and I live in a state that has a town called "Cut & Shoot"

10:07 pm

how long a commute, spanky, and do you mean time and/or distance?

10:08 pm

pam - are you like my blonde friend from work, Liz? You had to explain 'dirty' jokes to her and, once you'd done that, they weren't funny and more.

10:08 pm

my husband says not to forget "point blank" too!

10:08 pm

LOL--I just don't get the "pee" and lickey, sorry...

10:08 pm

I am originally from Pennsylvainia - and I didn't live too far away from Intercourse.

10:09 pm

I know where that is

10:09 pm

Which, CL W?

10:09 pm

Intercourse isn't far from Virginville.

10:09 pm

Funny, Spanky

10:09 pm

'pee' = to urinate. Lickey = a tongue thing.

10:09 pm

Spanks -- are you making that up?

10:10 pm

Intercourse?

10:10 pm

Oh Gawd!

10:10 pm

Absolutely Not.

10:10 pm

Hey, there's a Paradise and Blue Ball there too.

10:10 pm

LOL, Jac, sorry

10:10 pm

Intercourse, Pennsylvania, it's near Blue Ball

10:10 pm

Intercourse is a real place.

10:11 pm

Okay, let me try to finish ...clues for probably obvious words, please. ... How about de 4/5 after the animal that crunched my car

10:11 pm

CLW is totally correct. have you been there?

10:12 pm

Where are you CLW?

10:12 pm

back. YAY feather!

10:12 pm

We have a by-pass that saves our village from motorway traffic. For years, since the 50s, it's been 2-laned. They are now widening the middle bit to make it 1-laned either side. That's to slow down the traffic up to and from the M5, due to a few fatal accidents in recent years. Do they realise that this important through road, if slowed down by becoming 1 lane either side will result in major pollution?

10:12 pm

Here's one -- I grew up in Indiana which has a colleg named Ball State

10:12 pm

plural the D letter zinnia?

any help for he 7/36 and he 5/22?

10:13 pm

de4/8 is quick/skilled: he's de4/8 at that

10:13 pm

I have 14 left and I live in Lancaster County.

10:13 pm

and to be handy and graceful is the de 4/8

10:13 pm

de4/5 = man's name or Church official's title.

10:13 pm

he7, past of the hair/skin dye

10:13 pm

Amish area. It is so pretty there.

10:13 pm

10:14 pm

I do miss the fall colors, but I got over it.

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

Yes, it is and I doubt I'll ever move away.

10:14 pm

Oh, Silver -- I'm so ther with you....

10:14 pm

seer

10:15 pm

Just gave a word away cause I typed it in the wrong box. Getting tired.

10:15 pm

Anyone need any more clues? And could CLW move the cursor?

10:15 pm

I need to head out now. good luck finishing zinnia -- (YAY in advance) and see you-all tomorrow!

10:15 pm

ciao, stid

AlleLUia! Thanks all!

alright, here's my last 3... wh 7/56, re 5/20, re6/33?

10:21 pm

I am beginning to think that instead of putting goodies to eat and drink in the Babble penalty box we should insist that peeople in there read and learn 2 pages of the Oxford or Cambridge dictionary beginning with the word they couldn't find/got wrong/posted in the grid.

10:22 pm

wh7 is the past of wh5/22

10:22 pm

re6/33is diminuitive of word b4 it.

10:22 pm

wh 7 - Cried but with an extra letter after the w

10:22 pm

re5/20 grow in your grass

10:22 pm

brilliant idea, jac!

10:23 pm

thanks, dc!

10:23 pm

Probably obvious, but not to me....

10:23 pm

yw, pam :)

10:23 pm

And then we should publically test them on what they have learned. If the words they have learned are in the grid then they must answer in the proper fashion, i.e. le4/5 (learn).

10:23 pm

he 4/5 after (the third one)

10:24 pm

he 5/20 (after the wood one)

10:24 pm

oddly spelled word...

10:24 pm

i clued we instead of re 5/20:"> trying again...

10:24 pm

he 4/9 (next to last one)

10:24 pm

re5/20 - marry again

10:25 pm

he4/9 of wood by hand

he4/5 a type of frost

10:25 pm

he4/9 penultimate one, chops.

he 4/9 past tense of next he

10:26 pm

Soory! Chopped for the penultimate one.

WOOHOO!

I made it!

10:27 pm

FABulous, silver!

10:27 pm

re5/20 - as I've typed here before as a clue = the triumph of hope over experience.

Thank you all for all your help!

10:27 pm

10:27 pm

Me. I need a clue for re 8,45

10:28 pm

I'm fine, Herin. How are you, how is 'the boy' and how is the intruder?

10:30 pm

Got the pe 5/14 - thanks silver, et al!

1st pe 4/5 - according to the dictionary it is a joyful song of praise... that being said, as it didn't mean anything to me its pe + a small insect that ruins picnics - last letter

10:32 pm

We are all so cynical, are we not? May I recommend a book to read here? Fannie Flagg's ' Can't Wait To Get To Heaven'.

B.f has run off to a mates house :( to roll play Iron Kingdoms the other one has run off to roll play elsewhere. I haven't seen b/f all weekend
