12:23 am

I think it is atomic in nature

12:24 am

it's a rare earth. usually found as a rare earth oxide bundled with 5-7 other elements. Samarskite-Y is one, quite pretty as a gemstone.

12:59 am

How come rugrat isn't a word when so many moms on that chat talk about them

1:01 am

1:02 am

actually pretty nice an quiet after the holiday week.. I played some tennis and relaxed quite a bit.. nice over all ... you?

Sounds like a great crime fighter: The Phantom Iguana

1:09 am

lol

the Reptilian Foe of Evil Everywhere

1:10 am

his tongue is forceful and lizard quick

1:10 am

Able to leap small children in a single bound!

don't do wrong or you'll get a lick

1:11 am

Ooh. Hey now, ruru. You didnt say Adult Comic...

1:11 am

oh sorry I was caught up in the moment

1:12 am

I guess so!

nahhhh, not Adult... more like D'argo (sp?)

1:12 am

what is D'argo?

1:13 am

oh, well if it's european, I guess, then it must be artistic.

a character on a Sci-Fi series the name of which eludes me at the moment

1:13 am

oh

he was a mighty warrior and had a tongue that could zap you from across the room

google came through for me... the series was Farscape

1:14 am

ok. Now *I* am getting caught up in the moment. And I'm too sore for that lol bbs

1:14 am

bet he had a lot of girlfriends

lol

1:15 am

I'm going to bed. I'll let the rest of your figure out who the Phantom Iguana's sidekick is...

1:15 am

good morning all and seasons greetings to those i have not seen during the holidays

hello ursh and a very good morning/holiday season to you too

1:27 am

firewords

1:27 am

dern it!

1:28 am

yay dart i am only just starting have been good and done h/work and laundry before i even logged in - notice the halo

1:28 am

I somehow think I'm just always going to have to aspire to dartness.

yayyyy dart!

***blinks, nearly blinded by the glow of ursh's halo

1:29 am

i see it ursh

1:30 am

I'm sorry I couldnt type there, for a second. I seem to be blind.

1:30 am

So, how was work, dart? the snow make it easier, or harder?

1:31 am

for my work it is actually harder when there is weather in chicago, detroit or in between those two

1:31 am

how's that work?

1:33 am

i work the airspace over wisconsin and northern michigan...so work tons of ohare stuff...lot of detroit, toronto, minneapolis and east-west overflights from coast to coast

1:34 am

hmm. So if chicago has weather there's more rerouting?

1:34 am

urgh... stuck at 60

sixty done or sixty to go Saddy?

1:35 am

i wish... just 60 done

I'm not much better off, just 65 done here

1:35 am

chicago is overbooked for flight arrivals even on a clear day....any fog, rain, snow cause massive delays and we have to hold the planes longer...in summer with t-storms..thet have to go around them...gets kinda messy sometimes

1:36 am

so the snow here didnt change much at work, basically... That's kind of nice to hear.

1:37 am

if they plow the runways...sometimes we hold them for a while

1:38 am

Makes sense, but still nice to know for sure =)

1:39 am

any clues on the ar 8 an 9??? or is it too early for me to be begging for clues?

1:40 am

take the ar 6 and 7 in front of those 2 and put a 2 letter combo after the 4th letter for both

1:43 am

LOL

1:43 am

those are words lol

1:44 am

you got them i take it :)

1:44 am

the dictionary has a choice selection of amusing words. Just like those =)

1:45 am

One of my personal favorites is "zooglia"

1:45 am

yeah thanks dart

1:45 am

zooglia LOL

1:45 am

yup. zooglia.

1:45 am

that work moon?

1:46 am

or is it ea??

1:46 am

i know toea and zoea work

1:46 am

zooglea. Did zooglea work? Uhm. No. Not today.

1:46 am

my faves are teiid and aalii

1:47 am

didn't find them myself yet dart still thinking

1:47 am

oh yes. If the letters are there, it's a real word. It's a jellylike mass of bacteria.

1:47 am

first one is like a salamander..second is a tropical plant

1:47 am

You like the "i's" then I take it lol

1:48 am

when you get a weird board...sometimes thats all you can find

1:48 am

teind works too

1:49 am

I read the dictionary a long time ago. But it lacked charachter development...

1:49 am

found them in a dictionary.. weird..

1:49 am

the ar words...or the ones we just put up?

1:49 am

lol moon

1:51 am

well, needless to say, I haven't tried to read it, again. But maybe someday. =)

1:52 am

we'd find them when the cheaters came on the tangle site with their programs to find all words...you would see some real weird ones then

1:53 am

say what? why would anybody bother cheating at a word game?

1:54 am

usually kids trying to stir the pot and get everyone riled up...they come on here once in a while and try to get people going...best to just ignore and they get bored and go away.

1:55 am

they dont cheat here , but just call people names and use profane language

1:55 am

but still. That seems Well. That seems like one of the dumbest juvie pranks I've Ever heard of. And I invented one or two in my day.

1:57 am

they would take their ranking all the way down to zero points...then start using the program to score massive point totals...which hurts everyone elses rankings...people would understandably get mad...and they would just sit back and watch the fireworks

those were the days eh dart

1:58 am

mitch knows all about it lol....hiya mitch

heya

1:59 am

That doesnt make that Any less dumb. Fcol. That's even more stupid than dumpster diving in resturant dumpsters.

1:59 am

Hiya mitch. You're a tangle-refugee, too?

surely am

2:01 am

i do believe he wass higher ranked than I was :)

surely am

surely am

2:01 am

2 am burp again

whoa, sry bout that

2:01 am

LOL He seems very Sure.

2:02 am

it gets stuck at 2am central every morning

2:02 am

lol

yea, been playing at yahoo lately - but there's too few people

2:03 am

I'm a small minded girl. I'm just looking to beat out ONE minnesoatan, one night. That's all I want.

2:03 am

word racer?

2:04 am

Ok, that and a hippopotamus for xmas. But just those 2 things.

yea

2:04 am

only 3 of us that i know moon :) you me and drb

2:05 am

havent tried word racer yet

2:06 am

Exactly. That's making it a little tougher... I either need to get another minnesotan on here, or take you out at fair, next year...

2:06 am

I mean, um... nm.

it's alright - it's where i started playing

2:07 am

:)....have to watch out for leather-jacketed people following me on hot august/september weekends next year

2:07 am

No way. I can be subtle =P

2:07 am

seems like a lot of word racers were really good tanglers...can you mouse there...or only type?

2:08 am

Some times.

mostly typing - mousing is kind of awkward, though you can

2:09 am

Besides, it's hard to sell, once it's been "blooded".

2:09 am

i moused tangle..got up to 2540 at one point...think the highest mouser i saw was about 3000...there were a few typers all the way to 4000

yea, had a few names at 4k

2:10 am

i'll spot you over the crowd....tall and can see a long way :)

2:11 am

moon that is

2:11 am

oh, dood. I hurt.

2:12 am

I got it. I'm sorry I was busy laughing. Really hard.

ah, finished - always miss the s's on things lol

2:12 am

that was very funny, ty.

2:12 am

i always miss a few plurals oo...till lickety's list comes up

2:13 am

I have people come Looking for me, and they can't find me. I'm a whole 5' tall. And the booth gets busy lol

2:13 am

im 6' 6" so i can see for miles and miles and miles and miles lol

2:13 am

Besides. You're assuming I'd be silly enuf to do it, myself. {{grin}}

'night mitch

lol. Dont you hate when you accidentally type out loud, metal?

2:23 am

My xmas was good thanks....just my son and myself [he's 28]...thats how we like it!

yep

2:23 am

Actually, the snow was great, early. Later on it started to slick a little. But they were already starting to cut everything up by noon.

2:24 am

it was pretty light and fluffy this time

2:25 am

I had no idea they had a way to do that. In hindsight it makes sense, but was wierd to see arctic cats pulling threshers =P

2:25 am

ok...ime to lose myself in this grid.......back soon!

2:26 am

Yeah, it was. There was one kid who must have slept overnight out there, cause he'd been at it for a bit by the time we got out there.. And he was impressive. Throwing like 20ft waves, stopping. He was pretty good.

2:26 am

Have fun flask!

2:28 am

i have firewords and I can not believe some of the words I had to use.

2:28 am

bed time here...goodnight all...see you later moon

2:29 am

it's true joey. I'm not done yet, but some of the ones it took, took me totally offguard.

2:29 am

I got more points goofing around than I did trying =P

2:29 am

Night dart. Sleep sweet.

2:29 am

bye poof

2:29 am

yay joey!! and hi all! seasonsgreetings to you all!

2:29 am

Congrats, tho Joey =)

2:29 am

Hiya M

2:29 am

i think that the nu was the worst...... never heard of that...... thanks, moonwoof

2:30 am

I laughed really hard at the st one... that one so far, for me.

2:31 am

thanks MVA.........

2:31 am

the st 6 39 sounds like a fairy tale animal name

2:32 am

Exactly. I totally laughed. That's what i thought, and then it took it. I stared...

2:33 am

yup....... me too....... guess I will have to find out what it really means!

2:33 am

I'm up to like 15 to look up =P

2:34 am

holy crap....... the dictionary definition almost needs a dictionary....... i guess it comes from a flower?

2:35 am

Oh great. I'm gonna go look em up and still feel unsatified. That would Suck!

2:35 am

well, it is certainly something that I would never use in any conversation........ lol

2:36 am

I dunno... You might be surprised =)

2:37 am

not that surprised......... never happen. you must have some strange conversations......... no, wait, i can envision it. my perfume has undertones of st......

2:37 am

I know the fungus art one... and the nu8 but whats the ro6?

2:38 am

sounds fascinating, joey and moon ... anymore clues for st 6?

2:38 am

Umh, prolly not. I'm not a very girly girl But I Might call some one a " gelatinous pustule of odiferous st.. "=)

2:39 am

MVA, no way to clue other than the definition - but it ends in a 6 point letter.......and has a 3 for a third letter

2:39 am

It's like the grecian river to hades with a room monitor in it.

2:40 am

moonwoof, the ro 6 is a funky plural for a stage

2:40 am

got it ty!!

2:40 am

well then. I never woulda guessed that one.

2:40 am

Morning everyone

2:41 am

Morning J

2:41 am

ty, Joey. One less to look up, now =)

2:41 am

hi jfb, love theicon!

2:42 am

yvw. ? what kind of a booth do you have at a ren fair? if I was reading right?

2:42 am

The star of the show hasn't seen it! She might not be so keen

2:42 am

probably not jfb!

2:42 am

Leather clothes and accessories. You from MN, too?

2:43 am

no, from PA, but living in TX. very curious as I love Ren Faires.

2:43 am

Do you go to one in TX?

2:44 am

just going to get tea back in a mo

2:44 am

sure do. U there?

2:44 am

Nope. Our sister company is at TRF, but not scarborough. Which one do you do?

2:45 am

Been thinking about it, but not doing it, yet, I should say.

2:45 am

Scarborough. what is TRF? i don't know that one.

2:46 am

Texas ren fair. It's the Huge one. I believe outside of Houston (?) I'd have to look.

2:46 am

ahhhhhhhhhhh. i don't get there enough to know that one. maybe this year I willl have to look for that.

2:47 am

If you like scarbie, I dont know if you'd like trf. It's so big they have a patron campground, cause you Can Not see it in a day.

2:47 am

I am in Fort Worth

2:48 am

I have a great aunt in FW. That was one of the reason's I was thinking of trying scarbie... She's a very cool lady.

2:48 am

always looking for new places to go. I will be there for some phillies baseball games.

2:48 am

you have to....... and let me know.

2:49 am

trf runs during october and Nov. Is there still baseball, then (sorry, not really a sports girl)

2:49 am

The one thing I adore about texans is that you're not shy LOL

2:50 am

Dont they already have 4 or 5 leather booths there, tho?

2:50 am

nope, wrong time. well, i have always been like this - yes, they do have leather booths, but hey, competition is good.

2:51 am

It is. But I (being also Not Shy) don't have a lot of competition on circuit =)

2:51 am

the Only competition I have (really) is a booth called Pendragon.

2:52 am

i enjoy meeting people. i had a quiz tonight from a friend, things you don't know and one of my answers was that i can go almost anywhere in the USA and have lunch with someone that i have met.

2:52 am

oh, i know that booth......... think that i have a friend who worked there part time in PA at the one at the winery

2:52 am

That's a good skill to have. Very handy.

2:53 am

Maybe. I dont know what fairs Pendragon does, anymore. I Do know that they only do one fair that we also do, right now. We own their old locations at 3 other fairs.

2:54 am

where all do you go?

2:54 am

They do nice stuff, too. But it's different. So it's only "kinda" competition.

2:55 am

We do MN - NC - AZ - Boston and CO

2:55 am

where in AZ?

2:55 am

At 2 months a pop tho, that fills up most of my year.

2:56 am

do you know the Rogues? I believe that they play at some of those?

2:56 am

Apache junction, an eastern (far) suburb if Phoenix

2:56 am

i know apache junction - when is that?

2:56 am

They play at most fairs. And yes, I know at least a couple of dozen rogues from different states.

2:56 am

Feb - Mar

2:57 am

ahhhhhhh.. i have a friend in AZ that i plan on seeing in Feb......... he is in Tucson, maybe I can talk him into going. that would be way cool.

2:57 am

I'm familiar, very basically, with what the rogues "are", but I know I know at least that many.

2:58 am

maybe not. they are a musical group from Houston.

2:58 am

That would be. bbnaz lives close by, too. We're planning on getting together. That would be very fun to add you.

2:58 am

they play at Scarborough and a bunch of other places.

2:58 am

Oh. I had no idea they were also a band. Sorry.

2:58 am

well i've drunk half my tea but am slowing down, mayhave to eat to see if that spurs me on in babble, bbl, bye!

2:59 am

i would love to meet more people.

2:59 am

s'ok. it is a ambiguous name

2:59 am

Cya M Have a good eat.

2:59 am

2:59 am

words stats are how many words of that many letters... tile stats are how many words start on that tile

4:01 am

Hi Anna, welcome. The Tile Stats show you how many words start with the corresponding tile in the grid above

4:01 am

so there are 86 4 letter words, and 2 words start with the o in top right corner... first number is how many of those you got

4:01 am

nd btw welcome to babble

Reload this page for a new random joke. #98 Once upon a time there were two little skunks named "In" and "Out." They lived in a hollow tree with their mother. Sometime In and Out played outside, but other times they played inside. One day In was out and Out was in. Mother skunk told Out to go out and bring In in. So Out went out and in a few minutes he came in with In. "My my, Out," she said, "How did you find In so quickly?" Out just smiled and said, "Instinct."

4:06 am

4:12 am

Have you raced him?

4:12 am

4:14 am

*joke* even

5:09 am

Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend Marie out for a picnic by the river. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air. Marie leans in and says “Kiss me Pierre” Pierre grabs a bottle of merlot out of his picnic basket and splashes it on Marie’s lips. “What are you doing?” asks the startled Marie. “I am Pierre, the fighter pilot. When I have red meat, I have red wine!” Marie smiles and they start kissing. Things heat up and Marie says “Kiss me lower Pierre” Our hero rips open her blouse and pours chardonnay on her breasts. “What are you doing now?” asks the bewildered Marie. He replies “I am Pierre, the fighter pilot. When I have white meat, I have white wine!” She giggles and they resume their passionate interlude. Now things really get steamy. “Pierre kiss me much lower” says Marie. Pierre rips off her skirt, grabs a bottle of cognac and pours it on her lap. Then he strikes a match and lights the cognac on fire! Marie shrieks and dives into the river. Standing waist deep in the water she screams “PIERRE WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WTH YOU???” Our valiant hero stands up and says defiantly, “I am Pierre, the fighter pilot. When I go down I go down in flames…”

5:48 am

hi

5:50 am

hi anna

5:51 am

Reading the clues below and I'm dense. I did not get the nu 8 at all, Lynx. Where am I sent to when I sin that is a pe 8?

5:52 am

And I don't know any amphibians that snap, just ribbit, ribbit.

5:52 am

synonym for hell merk

5:52 am

Merk, there isn't a p in the puzzle, but i get the clue

pe8 is another word for H*ll

5:52 am

part of dante's inferno

5:52 am

And that helps me with the nu 8, right?

5:53 am

hi littlebit

yep it sounds like it

5:53 am

sounds like it merk...

5:53 am

right

5:53 am

think florida for the amphibian

5:53 am

Ah, I see. ty, I have it now.

5:54 am

this is the first time i've played and i can't leave. not a good sign

5:54 am

That is hard when you get an 8 word that is all alone.

oh we got another one hooked LOL

on the contrary Anna. It's a wonderful sign... it means you've succumbed to the inevitable.

5:54 am

Well, it might be a good sign, depending ...

5:55 am

lol nan

5:55 am

wahhhh haaaa hhaaaa another newbie been delivers to the dark babble side... Hi anne..welcome to babbleland

5:55 am

i've been babbliefied

5:55 am

welcome to THE GRID -----run while you can

5:55 am

it

it's like "Hotel California" and you've already checked in

5:56 am

it's a wonderful place tobe

5:56 am

meta too true

5:56 am

just one more word

5:56 am

go anna...go anna

5:56 am

i'm not watching what i'm typing!

6:04 am

i think rugrat should be in the grid

6:05 am

Hi everyone. Welcome Anna! I expect to start seeing you here daily now, and turning pro within 3 wks.

6:06 am

me too

6:06 am

I don't think it will take her 3 weeks to turn pro. I did it much quicker than that and I've never turned back ... no regrets.

6:07 am

Hey, regrets is a phantom.

hi Scrabs

6:07 am

But some people wait until they lose stats after 14 days, then turn pro.

6:08 am

Hi Nono.

6:08 am

I get to see newborn twin boys at the hospital soon.

6:11 am

well i'm stuck. can't find another word

6:11 am

scrabbler thanks for the welcome

6:11 am

I found 41 quickly, now I am struggling.

6:12 am

Anna, if you play daily you will improve quickly.

6:12 am

Hi all, back to find more words, hard grid today, at least for me

6:12 am

Where do you live, Anna, and how did you find Babble?

6:12 am

Hi Periwinkle! I am now searching harder for words.

6:13 am

I just went to the list with 71 left, don't want to sit here all day

6:13 am

i live in CA and I played boggle at a friend's house over the holidays and the guy who won said he played a game on line called wordzip. I couldn't find it online but I found this.

6:13 am

Good move, Periwinkle. I shall do the same.

6:14 am

what's the list?

6:14 am

I am also addicted to Noggin, Scramble and Scrabble, Anna.

6:14 am

can you come back to it later? or do you have to leave tyour computer on?

6:15 am

morning scrabs

6:15 am

you can come back to it Anna, and Welcome

6:15 am

Scroll down to below the tile stats and look for Lickety's Clues--a list of all words in the grid, with the first 2 letters, length of word, and point total of each word. It is VERY helpful and time-saving!

6:15 am

yikes, scrabbler.

6:15 am

u can come back anna

6:16 am

Hi Carlee--how are you? Enjoying having your kids home?

6:16 am

i ADORe having the kids home...

6:16 am

6:16 am

6:17 am

I bet you do! Is your son playing a lot of hockey this week?

6:17 am

All of the bunnies are doing well. Callie is sitting right behind me.

6:17 am

he has an exhibition game in Michigan on sunday

6:17 am

then a tournament next weekend

6:18 am

A long drive, or over the river?

6:19 am

over river....is in the town that is a 5 min bridge ride away....( kinda funny..our accents just a swimmable river away ( hard swim but swimmable) are completely different

6:19 am

Pittsburgh is 3 hrs away and people there have a different way of speaking.

6:20 am

but....the bridge is 1 mile long ( that includes border crossing)...

6:21 am

see if I can show u a pic....

6:21 am

I forget the name of the river.

6:21 am

??Detroit River??

6:29 am

i have 2 with x I think

6:29 am

There are two ta4/9.

6:29 am

I just have the cab one--not seeing others.

6:30 am

TY, Miss Hazel!

6:30 am

The cab one can end in a different vowel.

6:30 am

think of plural of scientifica naming scrabs

6:30 am

Hi there Haz

6:30 am

You're welcome - must go and check my icon. I don't feel quite that black.

6:30 am

Haz, your icon is all black, what happened to

6:30 am

Spangle

6:30 am

thanks haz

6:31 am

TY, I have the other ta4/9 now.

6:31 am

hey there hazel !

6:31 am

So that's it; I have four words with an x. Any more?

6:32 am

Waaah, I have only the 2 ta4/9's.

hhowdee buddies!!

6:32 am

Hello all. I think Spangle is showing up now, at least she is for me.

6:32 am

Just the four, Merk.

6:32 am

Hi BDG

snurg not a word? what's up with that??

scrabbler, hi there!

6:33 am

ty, I'm to the point where I thought so, 27 left, but babble can twist you around unexpectedly.

6:33 am

Haz, I refreshed and there she is

6:34 am

st6/29 - begin the piggy home, start a rodent finishing with that required x.

6:34 am

thanks Haz

6:35 am

su6/36 - sounds like what the Inland Revenue/IRS would like to collect.

6:35 am

tx hazel - the su6 is just more income ***

6:35 am

thanks Luc and Haz

6:35 am

TY for su6 but I am having trouble finishing the st6

6:35 am

You're welcome.

6:36 am

I did it--got st6!

6:36 am

Scrabbler, it sounds like s plus a plural version of a shop that sells men's neckwear.

6:37 am

need a break, bbs

6:37 am

OK, 98 to go, and time for me to get ready for the day. I get to see newborn twin boys for morning rounds.

6:54 am

Or does that mean you're waiting for your bonus, dc?

6:54 am

darn, etui is a phantom

6:54 am

hi, sprite!

6:54 am

Morning Sprite =)

6:54 am

we're both heer during daylight hours, that's different :D

6:54 am

enjoy that, dc :)

6:55 am

Oh, speaking of daylight... How's your xmas day off dc?

6:55 am

xmas day off? not this year, t'wasnt. yesterday was nice, and i'm sure today will be too, esp if i do my laundry :)

6:56 am

I thought you were going to do xmas, today, instead, since you had to work xmas, tho (?)

6:56 am

no, on 12th night, 6 Jan :)

6:57 am

hi there sprite - was off reading the story in moon's profile about flaws - good one by the way

6:57 am

thought you had boxing day off... we call that 2nd Xmas day in Holland.

6:57 am

another comfortable grid that got done between dozes

6:57 am

Ah. I misunderstood. I apologize.

6:57 am

oh BabbleRabble, that sounds good to me :) I can use one of those.

6:57 am

Congrats BR

6:57 am

np, moon.

6:57 am

wd BR !

6:57 am

morning, babbleRabble. congrats! so not too bad today, then?

6:57 am

ty, montie. I liked it, too.

6:58 am

congrats on finishing :)

6:58 am

Made me kinda want to be broken =)

6:58 am

i did have boxing day off sprite, and today the 27, then i work 28-30, then of 31/1.

6:58 am

:) moon

6:58 am

quite a schedule, dc *hug*

6:58 am

I thought the grid was comfortably challenging

6:59 am

Ok. More broken.

6:59 am

*hugs woof* Bend, but not broken, darling. Never broken.

6:59 am

lol moon...we're all "broken" in some way(s)...

6:59 am

my calendar, which needs some minor updating: http://tinyurl.com/2zmvpr

6:59 am

I liked that the grid made me go look up a couple of words.

7:00 am

I am broke, but not broken

7:00 am

I'm broek LOL

7:00 am

that's the spirit sprite !!

7:00 am

LOL dc... your calender appears on my computer in dutch!

7:01 am

yay for google!

7:01 am

i think it'll still reflect my time zone, though

7:01 am

there likely is a smidge of dysfunctional in all of us

7:01 am

Actually, I am comparatively broken. But not my spirit. It's all just a matter of degree. And perspective. =P

7:01 am

so very much so, babrab :D

7:02 am

I would say so, BabbleRabble.

7:02 am

yes, just a smidge, a speck...

7:03 am

Oh, I definately agree, BR.

7:03 am

I need to believe so, or I would start feeling lonely... :)

7:03 am

okay, Lucien gets scintilla award ... congrats

dysfunction? oh my yes. you get it from your entire family, especially descendants LOL

7:04 am

and in a group of like-ish minds, it's less like dysfunctional and more like "compatably screwed up" =)

7:04 am

lol Gwen!

7:04 am

Odd. My mom says that too.

7:04 am

tytytytyty "taking a bow with a sweeping gesture with my fedora"

7:05 am

I like compatibly screwed up... will remember that phrase

7:05 am

compatabiby screwed up is important among friends :)

my family is a textbook case of dysfunction. you should see us trying to have x-mas dinner. scary!

7:06 am

I think so, too. =)

7:06 am

so right DC...

7:06 am

At my house it's "you should see us try to avoid eating xmas dinner" lol

7:06 am

I don't let others define me ... if I want to be a flaming dysfunctional today, I just put out flares and orange cones

7:06 am

our family is so dysfunctional we don't share any parties or celebrations. But... out of the blue I got an email from my estranged sister this december... let's say it could be a start :)

7:07 am

that's the way to live, babrab! :D

woo hoo found all the Os !!

7:07 am

both?? Good Job! lol

7:07 am

You are an inspiration to me, BabbleRabble, but you already knew that :)

7:08 am

Good afternoon everyone. We're about to have some fun down at the bottle bank. Love hearing that glass smash!:-)

7:08 am

halfway... not an easy grid for me...

7:09 am

hi Jac! Oh yes, so satisfactory :) *hug*

7:09 am

Morning Jac. Breaking stuff can be awfully fun... Enjoy =)

7:09 am

fu4 reminds me of a kids in the hall skit, some fu4 traders were paddling along, singing Alouette, and whacking beavers w/their paddles. :)

7:09 am

Morning, Jac.

7:10 am

i have friend, we like to take loads to the wast transfer facility, becuase it makes such a sattisfying thud/shatter when you throw the stuff in :D

7:10 am

hi Jac - sounds like fun and probably a gentle way to vent some steam as well...

7:10 am

((Hugs)) Sprite. Yes, a pleasure denied us since the binmen started collecting stuff for recycling. However, they're not emptying the recycling boxes this week so we're off to the recycling bins at the supermarket.

7:10 am

lovely to be able to have that pleasure again then, Jac!

7:11 am

I'd better go. BBL for my remaining 56 words. Have fun Babbling, Babblers. xx

7:11 am

it won't take negatory :( i guess that word is Army lingo

7:11 am

Alouette DC ? a french folk song ?

7:11 am

ciao, jac! do enjoy.

7:11 am

it should be, dc. LOL.

7:11 am

have fun Jacula !

7:11 am

Sorry my icon pic's so dark, btw. I've lost my fkickr where it would show up properly.

7:12 am

yes, lucien.

7:12 am

Byeee!

7:12 am

kids in the hall was a 2nd city comedy troupe out of Toronto.

7:12 am

since both etui and orgy are phantoms too, I have had my share of frustration for today already!

7:12 am

*hugs Jac* Have fun!

'bye everyone... I'm off to have a day's slumber with my fella and the cats. back later to snag the last 20 including those dratted yt's Happy Babbling

7:13 am

yay DC - i like the wacking beaver part as well...

7:13 am

I have been having this ongoing tete a tete with this editor and he told me I hurt his feelings

7:13 am

ciao, meta, sleep well!

7:13 am

hag day metal !

7:13 am

oh, why's that, babrab?

7:14 am

bye meta, have a good one

7:14 am

that is, why does he feel hurt?

7:14 am

oh, were you honest with him? Dangerous, BabbleRabble.

7:15 am

He believes I have overstepped the bounds of decency with my criticism

7:15 am

My guess: you are right and he hates that.

7:15 am

91 down - BBL - have a great day all and happy babbling "POOF"

7:15 am

sigh.

7:15 am

ciao, lucien!

7:16 am

i'm w/sprite, babrab

7:16 am

bye montreal!

7:16 am

hasta pronto dc and sprite - "ACTUAL POOF"

7:17 am

since I cannot believe you have been rude or insulting, I take it he cannot counter your reasoning and he does not want to admit he is wrong. Enough grounds for hate for most people, grin.

7:18 am

Aw drat. I missed montie.

7:18 am

Dern pets.

7:18 am

is this the same guy you told us about earlier?

7:19 am

the problem was sorted out when I reminded him I was being critical of article ... which does not make him a bad person

7:19 am

hi all, back to find some more words

phantom word: aargh (sic)

7:19 am

hi peri

7:19 am

hi, peri.

7:19 am

wb, peri

7:19 am

and moon, lucien said he'd be back later

7:19 am

well, not a biggie, thnx dc.

7:19 am

I admire the way you handled that, BabbleRabble. So he was taking it way too personal... good one.

7:20 am

I'm sure he'd rather I missed a little typing at him, than hearing that my dog ate my cat...

only one way to desribe this grid: oy!

7:20 am

nicely handled, babrab

7:20 am

TO is chanelling Ruru. I feel so loved. :)

hi, all!

7:20 am

morning, TO :D

7:21 am

hey TOwl :)

7:21 am

here, my cat is more likely to eat the dog. :D

7:21 am

That is nice to hear BR. It's hard when coworkers stop being professional, even if for a moment.

7:21 am

Hiya Owl.

: D

7:21 am

hello everyone!

7:21 am

Morning annie.

7:21 am

hey Annie :)

7:22 am

morning, Annie!

7:22 am

I am a freelance gadfly

7:22 am

Well, DC, jack russells Try to eat Everything. At least once. And she hasnt tried cat, yet.

7:22 am

lol, moon

back... Hi Annie and TO!

hi annie!

7:23 am

Even though the cat outweighs her by 8 lbs, she's willing to give it that "ol' college try".

7:23 am

wb nono

7:23 am

yay for being freelance. When I grow up, I hope to be freelance too. Working on it :)

7:23 am

morning, nanette!

7:23 am

and hi Nanette

hi nono

7:25 am

You know the stuff you put on kids fingers to get them to quit chewing their nails?? Is there anything like that you can put on a cat?

7:25 am

moon, to keep them from clawing things, or keep them from chewing?

7:25 am

{{{praying. please say there is}}}

7:25 am

Hi Owl

7:25 am

you can bathe the cat in it, woof, but she will not forgive you easily for that. She might prefer being eaten by the dog.

7:25 am

a mousetrap?

7:25 am

We call that stuff Bitex here

7:25 am

To keep my dog from chewing the cat.

7:26 am

hot peper spray, but the cat won't like it.

7:26 am

lol dc

7:26 am

woof: education is the way. :D

oooh lag is awful here : (

7:26 am

I'm >----< this close to pulling out lemon juice.

7:26 am

ty hunny. You're a goddess among women.

7:27 am

yes, sprite, Bitex is the product here, too, at least the ones my friends used.

7:27 am

O. I bet the cat would make GREAT faces, tho.

7:27 am

for the clawing thing, there are adhesive strips that ar tacky that have worked well for me getting the younger cat not to claw. The older one could care less.

7:27 am

*kicks TOwl's nearest server into good behaviour*

7:28 am

might be worth a picture shooting, woof!

7:28 am

That's not a problem, dc. That only took one bout of duct tape to teach the kitten.

7:28 am

That's a thought sprite.

7:28 am

cool, moon :)

moon if you find something that works, let me know.... i have a dominate cat who wants to chew on the other two all the time

7:29 am

should i have the end of the buch de noel, or real food?

7:29 am

The dog, however, is a Whole other animal. So to speak.

7:29 am

the others will learn to fight back, no, Nanette?

7:29 am

I certainly, will, Nono. However, that one's a little harder.

its been two years dc and it is still going on

one fights back slightly the other just lays down and hisses

7:30 am

i still vote that they'll do alrgiht, Nanette, especially after all that time.

oh dcsein what a silly question : /

7:31 am

The dog is trying to "protect" daddy. (who's sleeping.) And the kitten (being just that) is jumping on him when the covers move... You know the rest, I'm sure.

7:31 am

the buche while it is still fresh, silly

7:31 am

well, buch de noel then :) brb

i keep a spray bottle full of water handy ... all I need to do is pick it up and the dominate cat runs off

7:31 am

It can't hurt to try if it works, nono. I'll let you know in a week or two.

7:31 am

lol, love the image, woof!

7:32 am

It probably is funny. I can't quite see it. But I could record it for you lol

7:32 am

hehehe, it is funny from here. Not if I would live there!

7:33 am

The noise alone, is pretty funny sounding. The kitten is gawky. And still getting used to things like furniture.

7:34 am

i was disappointed that the mushrooms on the buche were sugar, and not marzipan, as is appropriate.

7:34 am

I love marzipan!!

7:34 am

We rescued him in CO. He was definately alone for a while. But now he's teenaged, and FAT (ter). It's heartbreaking and hilarious to watch, all at once.

sometimes they are meringue, no?

7:34 am

criminal, dc

7:35 am

never had buch de noel though

7:35 am

my younger cat, water is effective, older one likes water.

7:35 am

meringue would have been good, too, TOwl, yes they are.

7:35 am

peri, you poor dear!

7:35 am

is it a cake or bread

a cake. a glorious cake rolled up sothere is icing all over

7:36 am

sheet cake, rolled around pastry creme, covered in chocolate butter cream and cocoa to look like a log :D

7:36 am

oh, sounds really good

7:37 am

I might have had some years ago

aftera, cake is only a vehicle for getting qas much icing as possible ; )

7:37 am

It does sound good. Like a big HoHo. With Marzipan.

7:37 am

I like just plain marzipan candies

7:37 am

I agree, TOwl! I am not into creme at all. I'll have the cake and the icing :D :D

7:37 am

hohos don't compare, though it is an apt description :)

we had a choco one at work, with real ganache inside and out

7:38 am

small layer of creme.

7:38 am

oh, youm TOwl

hmm, i think it is time to gently awaken my company...

sein,: wegmans

7:39 am

i went to my favourite French bakery on Sunday, to get something to take to share at Solstice, and was pleasntly pleased to find my choice of chocolate, cappucino, or vanilla buches de noel :D

7:39 am

oh I can't believe I found the 9. By half mistyping, half monkeying around the verbal fighters.

7:39 am

I've got a cat you can borrow, TO...

7:39 am

i chose chocolate, as it is the One True Flavor for that food.

7:39 am

fireworks!!

7:39 am

LOL woof!

7:39 am

and way to go littlebit!

7:39 am

cograts, littlebit!

7:39 am

bbs

7:40 am

sprite, you insprire me to keep searching. :D

good job, littlebit!

7:40 am

congrats little

omg TO those are awesome

yes. i thought i tried the fighter but was denied. this lag is killing me

congrats littlebit

7:40 am

Ok. Now I just have to find a French Bakery up here that doesnt suck.

do you have wegman's

7:41 am

i perefer the concoctions for Pastries by Randolph. I must admit that going to Wegman's did not even occur to me.

7:41 am

we do TO, for 3 years now :D

yep sure do, in fact my son is a baker there

7:41 am

When it's (lag) bad for me, TO, I turn off the chat and it helps a great deal.

well if you have ever had their ulitmate choco cake, they made it in the shape of a log. no mushrooms though. for $19 you'd think they'd be a given

7:42 am

the 9 is the singular verbal fighter with the first 2 letters of many flames inserted.

7:42 am

We would miss you, tho. =)

TO I think my son may have helped with the grand opening of the wegmans in your area

7:42 am

huh. i'll check it out, TO.

7:42 am

argh, that should read: the 8 is.... The 9 is the plural.

7:43 am

the one in Sterling, VA, nanette? We now have ones in Fairfax, and soon in Woodbridge

no o i think you may have metnioned that. it's in warrington

7:43 am

ty, sprite :D

yep thats the one TO

7:43 am

oh dc, do you remember mentioning the pattern for a shawl with skulls on it? My son would really love one... is it possible you get the pattern for me?

phantom: surfeit

7:44 am

yes, sprite, i'll call my friend later today.

he didnt go to the one in Sterling dc although some of his co-workers did

7:44 am

that would be so great, dc! Thanks!

7:44 am

Why does that sound less like a phantom and more like a smurf?

7:44 am

Warrenton, that's one, and there's one in Leesburg now.

7:45 am

smurf it, surfeit!

7:45 am

Ah. That would be why. ty Sprite. =)

7:45 am

grin... great minds...

7:45 am

what odd words, ty, again, Sprite :D

my dad is visiting, he LOVES wegmans said he'd never go hungry if their wer one near him

7:45 am

you're so welcome, dc! They ARE odd.

7:46 am

Good Morning! Do the AR 8 & 9 words build off the above words?

7:46 am

Morning Phan

7:46 am

I was jumping for joy when i heard Wegman's was coming here. I remember visiting friends in Ithaca, NY in 1990; they took me to the "Super Duper Mega Weggies" :D

yes they do Phan

7:46 am

yes, phan, same root.

7:46 am

hi phan

7:46 am

I liked todays fungus art word. It amused me.

7:46 am

clued at 7.42, phan!

7:47 am

Ok. I may need an education, here. How is Wegman's better than Schwan's?

7:48 am

strange words

Schwan's as in the ones that go door to door?

7:48 am

Wegman's is much better than Schwans.

7:48 am

indeed, phan

son has worked for Wegman's now for 18 years

7:49 am

Yes. That one, nono. Ok. How so, Dc?

it's so much better than Schwans more variety and fresh foods

7:49 am

they're entirely different classes of vending establishments.

7:49 am

well said, nanette

*tearing hair out looking for ar8/9*

so far they are only in NY, Pa, NJ, and Va I think

7:50 am

Well, given my lifestyle let's take out the "fresh" part. Freshness is problematic for me.

7:50 am

soon in MD, they're building one in Landover

7:51 am

I feel discriminated here in holland!

7:51 am

oh, wait, there's one in Hunt Valley, MD already. so soon, in the DC burbs of MD, not just the Baltimore ones. :)

bbs, must swaken company

I expect they will start expanding into Ohio before much longer

7:51 am

but Sprite, you have Albert Heijne

7:51 am

Have fun, TO. Sure you dont want a cat??

only if it takes out it

7:52 am

And windmills. =P

tter : D

7:52 am

lol dc... that is just a huge supermarket. Huge for dutch people that is, not for you.

7:52 am

Wegman's is a large supermarket too, just happens to have Class-A prepared foods that fill 1/3 of the store. :D

7:52 am

lots of windmills, yes... never eaten one of them though, lol.

7:53 am

aha, I see! Ok, that makes sense... some of AH's stuff is really good indeed. Expensive though.

7:53 am

Me neither, Sprite. But yours are Much nicer to watch While eating...

7:54 am

i don't think i have ever seen more considered chat abut grocers. lol

7:54 am

Koninklijke Ahold owns several grocery chains here in the NE US - Stop & Shop, Giant of MD, Giant of PA, and Martins.

7:54 am

Ours are spikey sad looking little things. Unless you 4 acres of em all packed together...

7:54 am

we have the Zaanse Schans very nearby... famous for its windmills. The very first AH shop is there too, as a tiny museum.

7:54 am

Well, yw Bonkler. Good morning =)

7:54 am

hi bonkler :D

7:54 am

9:31 am

man oh man, I am just slogging through today's grid. very little is coming easily.

9:31 am

it is a fun grid, but not one of the easy ones, for sure, bbnaz. Pleasantly challenging, BabbleRabble said, and I concur.

9:34 am

Hi everyone.

9:34 am

hi Marmar

i like today's grid, especially since it has one of my favorite strange words i learned from here over the summer

9:35 am

Hi Sprite, are the "holi-daze" treating you right?

hi marmar

9:37 am

LOLLLL great word! Yes, unbelievably so. We celebrated Xmas in a nontraditional way, following our hearts, and it worked out miraculously. We all feel like we have never had such a good Xmas as this time. It is like creating happy memories to counteract all the bad ones :) And how are you?

9:37 am

Hi Angel! Oh, I love your icon!

thanks marmar

9:38 am

Yikes, there is something very wrong with my phone. It hasn't worked properly in a couple days and now it rings, I answer and it sounds like a jackhammer on the other end....

9:38 am

how frustrating!

Hello all. Pretty grid today!

9:39 am

hi SarahB

9:39 am

Sprite you Christmas sounds wonderful. My sister did something totally different this year too and she said she never felt so at-peace! Nice!

Hi sprite

hi sarah

Hi Angelina! How are we all doing today?

9:40 am

that is it: at peace! And isn't peace the core message of Xmas? How well put :)

doing well, and how are you?

9:40 am

afternoon everyone :-)

hi katie

9:40 am

hi katie! Doing ok, Sarah, how are you?

Hello Sarah and Katie.

I'm laid up. :( I injured my back when I was walking through the forest on Christmas day. I'm being looked after and having fun, though. Christmas was really good this year.

9:41 am

glad you have fun, Sarah, but sorry to hear about your back! Take care of you, backs are so important!

hope your back feels better

Thanks!

Thanks!

Oyster oyster oyster! Silly phantom words.

What a relief that must be.

9:46 am

Sarah, named for the powerpuff girls character?

I've never seen powerpuff girls

I'm sure I've heard Sarah Bellum somewhere before but I have no idea where I heard it

9:48 am

ah, Ms Sarah Bellum is the assistant to the Mayor of Townville in the cartoon :) we never see her face.

9:49 am

Um. Or your Brain, sarah.

9:49 am

Morning, again.

hi moon

Believe me, I got the pun, moonwolf!

9:50 am

Ok, good, you scared me for a second, sarah. Seriously.

9:50 am

Hiya Angelina =)

Hehehe

9:51 am

"I have no idea where I've heard it"... You're playing a word game!! Wait. Want to play scrabble for money???

I meant, I've heard of the name "Sarah Bellum"before, I've certainly heard of the cerebellum.

9:53 am

If you like Really irreverant humor there's a web site called the Juicy Cerebellum. It's pretty amusing.

9:53 am

*grins at the conversation* Welcome back, woof! I have emailed you!

9:53 am

Kinda crude, tho. Very honest, but kinda crude.

9:54 am

Hoya huny =) You sure, sprite? I came back, in fact, to see if you were still here. I got no "dog thing".

9:54 am

brb

Looks like a fun site, moonwolf, I'll check it when/if I finish this grid.

9:57 am

my phantom word too Sarah

9:58 am

oh, weird! Let me try again.

9:59 am

If you dont mind some swearing or crude but honest referances, it's totally fun. But you've been forewarned =)

9:59 am

resent! In a good way, of course :)

9:59 am

crude but honest... could be me, lolllll

I can handle almost anything :)

9:59 am

hi shorty, missed you coming in, sorry!

10:01 am

hi, back, sorry, been in and out.

10:01 am

I'm tacky on a good day, so I really try to warn people, just in case. =)

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:03 am

Madredeus

10:03 am

Thank you. And how are you?

10:03 am

10:03 am

i'm alright, and you? :)

10:03 am

yup, ty for resending.

10:04 am

yay, I see your answer already, lol, off to reading it!

10:05 am

Good thanks. Trying to keep everyone on an even keel with all the new stuff around.

10:06 am

always a challenge, that, marmar :)

10:06 am

Another fado recruit, Dc? =D

10:07 am

i like fado and flamenco :)

10:07 am

jilli likes fado, too.

10:07 am

If by "new stuff" you meant anything like toys family gave your pets for xmas, I empathize marmar =)

10:07 am

it's a lovely style

10:07 am

I know, and right now I have to go get some chicken for dinner. Promised roasted chicken legs so I gotta come through!

10:07 am

clue for tr6-24 please

10:07 am

I recall. Thats ehy it made me chuckle =)

10:07 am

lol Marmar... promised to kid(s)?

10:07 am

triage

10:07 am

the te5s are challenging

10:08 am

oops, sorry

10:08 am

yeah Good clue crp lol

10:08 am

lol crpw, that is NOT what we call a clue!

10:08 am

Moon, it wasn't as volumous (sp?) as some families I know, but DVD's and Playstation 2 and a couple new CD's...it's almost deafening!

10:09 am

Sprite, I actually bribed Marcus to take the dog for a walk with the dinner of his choice....chicken legs is a given when they get to choose!

10:09 am

tr6-means the first person you see when you go to the hospital to register tr**** nurse

10:09 am

wonderful job, Marmar! :D

10:09 am

its really bad when you ask for a clue and then give the word

10:10 am

I just read that last post of mine, doesn't sound right but you get the idea...

10:10 am

clue for the fu6,36 please

10:10 am

don't worry about it, crpw, it happens. To all of us, one day or another!

10:10 am

I think I'd almost like that better, mar. I almost killed myself several times tonight tripping over 4 bones, 2 ropes, at Least one tennis ball, part of a stuffed duck and some other pretty sharp thing. And that's just to or from the bathroom =P

10:10 am

totally, Marmar, it was clear to me!

10:10 am

it was clear, marmar

10:10 am

I can always put in ear plugs, but at this point, I'm Not getting more graceful =P

10:11 am

argh, what a mess! Lovely, though, woof... at least from the pet's point of view

10:11 am

Moon, your dog must think he's in doggy heaven!

10:11 am

hey, you kept upright, right, woof? Elegance and sure-footedness triumphed!

10:13 am

both dogs, and yes, probably is some sort of puppy nirvana... Oh, no. I meant the grace part. Anyone who's met me would laugh at "elegance + me" and I'll just say, it's a good thing the hall is narrow.

10:13 am

good morning/afternoon, all :)

10:13 am

Our dog Monty didn't actually get a "present" of any kind and believe me, he knew it. He moped around all day and at the end of the day, actually walked over to the tree, surveyed it carefully, turned his back to it and layed down...defeated. Next year, he'll get a present.

10:13 am

hi nan

10:13 am

hi, nan!

10:14 am

halls are supposed to be narrow. How else are you to keep your balance when coming home from A. party B. work C. traffic

10:14 am

hi cybernan

10:14 am

Hiya nan!

10:14 am

indeed so, sprite!

10:14 am

bye marmar, take care

10:14 am

10:15 am

Hi Sprite -- was your shoe filled with goodies?

10:15 am

that's true. especially when there are Obsticles. Aw. My sister in law would be making a Xmas stocking for Monty Right Now, if she heard. That's funny

10:16 am

Cya mar

10:17 am

lol nan, that is for Sinterklaas, at Dec 5! But I had a wonderful Xmas, present-less as is normal in Holland, but with gifts from the heart that meant more to me than any material thing ever could. How was your Xmas?

10:17 am

wow, find one un and you find almost all :D

10:18 am

Just great -- we had our elder son and his family with us. Christmas is always best with children around!

10:18 am

You're Dutch, Sprite? My Dutch fiance is lying beside me right now. I was in the Netherlands for Sinterklaas and he came to Ireland for Christmas.

10:18 am

that is nice, Sarah! Tell him prettige feestdagen from me :)

10:19 am

En jij een fijne kersten een gelukkig nieuwjaar, Sprite;-)

10:19 am

I didn't realize that you had a different date for exchanging gifts

10:20 am

we celebrate Sinterklaas on December 5, the evening before the birthday of Sint Nicolaas. Traditionally, Xmas is celebrated without gifts, though the influence of the US makes it more and more a commercial thing.

10:20 am

anyone have a clue for the ar 8-9 combo?

10:21 am

Dank je, fiance van Sarah :)

10:21 am

they build on the root of the words before them, nan

10:21 am

10:22 am

take the verbal fighters and insert the first 2 letters of a lot of flames into it for the 9. Singular is the 8.

10:23 am

It has been that way for several hours now. Can anyone help, please, without being too technical! I have printed the grid from LicketySplitAUS so I am able to enter words but not as much fun. HELP!

1:05 pm

tried refreshing the page? close/open browser? you dont lose what you have for doing those...

1:06 pm

Hi Pat - that happens to me when we have used up our capacity w our broadband provider and we go on "slo-mo". I would log out and re-enter, giving it lots of time to get everything up before starting to use

I'm obviously out of practice - any ideas on the ag6/24 and its related (probably) 5/14?

3:15 pm

hi matty.

3:16 pm

one pulls one'd hair out!

Hi mo!

verbal fighters

Thankee kindly!

vw

Those were helpful for the ar's, but how about the ag's :)

3:17 pm

ag 5 is a spanish word meaning bitter - ends in r + 2 vowels, ag 6 is plural

3:17 pm

same ending as at 5/10 - do you have that, matty

There is no ag 5/10...?

3:20 pm

yes ag 5 is singular, ag 6 is plural

3:20 pm

ag4/7 ... malarial fever.

3:20 pm

ag 5/14

Yah - got the 4/7

ag 5/14 not 5/10 though

I have two of the 5/14s and the 4/6 and 4/7

3:20 pm

I was saying the ag 5/14 has the same ending as at 5/10

That's how I understood it and your clue helped me find the word too! ty jbv

3:21 pm

pluralise one of the ag5/14.

I don't have the one that is the plural. I have the first 5/14, then a 4/6, then its plural, and then I'm missing two, and finally I have the 4/7 that's a disease...

3:23 pm

ok, try this - do you have at 5/10 ? substitute a g for the t

3:23 pm

you need another ag5/14 and 6/24.

3:24 pm

matty! HI!

Hi Atlante! How's you?

4:12 pm

Well, I've never been called that before! **beams** :D

4:12 pm

I can play the Blues Brothers and chat...it's called multitasking

4:12 pm

The next blessed wave of company is due in 10 minutes... let's all be totally brainless now... LOL

4:12 pm

Lock the door, and turn off the lights......

4:13 pm

Yes.... *breathlessly awaiting next chapter**

We're just laying low, and I'm making pizzers. :)

4:14 pm

I think I am gonna leave.....(fireworks) since there no chat.....peace and love all around

4:14 pm

apparently Scarlet. Been pretty quiet as i roam in and out. Surprising, given how annoying this grid was....

4:14 pm

Aww, poor Scarlet, being loved by too many companies! **simple hugs**

4:14 pm

Yea! I saw Uni's e-mail address in her bio... Yea for darthdude... I tried, dude...

4:14 pm

Thank you so much, Uni! :-)

4:15 pm

*Twin suck-up*

4:16 pm

**is confused, but gives Scarlet a tinfoil hat to keep intruders out whilst putting on own**

4:16 pm

Hard day, red? We're here for you...

4:17 pm

Lori, I am asking you and Uni for a favor... I need some really honest feedback on a "situation" and you two are very level-headed... If I were to e-mail this to Uni, would you find a minute to respond? It won't be until later this evening, but I would appreciate it. YIPPEE... my OWN tinfoil hat... all my own...

4:17 pm

Absolutely...feel free to "use" us in any way necessary. That's what friends are for, darlin

4:18 pm

*** shore *** LOL. Level headed? ***giggles immaturely....*** :-)

4:18 pm

**reminds mother to be the grown-up**

4:18 pm

***Yells at Uni, to stop juggling lit fire batons in kitchen***

4:18 pm

Muchas gracias... it's a sticky wicket... YES... level-headed... the more insane women become, the more intelligence they draw on when the going gets "normal" LOL

4:19 pm

I think I should cross-stitch that on a pillow or something...I like that

4:19 pm

No, Lor, that's "Fire Bacon"...can't you get it straight??

4:19 pm

Better than wicky stick-its!

4:19 pm

It could be BOTH!

4:20 pm

Like my p's and q's, I always have a hard time miding the difference between c and t.....

4:21 pm

p's and q's are tricky...as are sticky wickets. I hope everything is okay for you Scarlet

4:21 pm

LoriP and Uniquity level-headed? And here I was, thinking that Scarlet was a good judge of character.

4:21 pm

Haz! **is overly, unnecessary ecstatic**

4:22 pm

My world is almost back to rights!

4:22 pm

Happy holidays to you, Haz... so good to see you before the New Year begins!

4:22 pm

LOL Haz. There now Scarlet. See? We tried to warn you........ :-)

4:22 pm

I'm pleased that you're pleased.

4:22 pm

Wicked good to see you! Happy 2 days afetr Christmas!

4:23 pm

Hello Scarlet, LoriP and Uniquity, hence forward to be known as the level-headed ones.

4:23 pm

You see, Haz is flashing that badge of hers, and she is frightfully logical... as always!

4:23 pm

If we're level headed, be afraid. vewwwwy, vewwwy afwaid....

4:23 pm

Yes, nothing like using badges of office to make people do what they're told.

4:24 pm

Move along there, please. And pick up that paper.

4:24 pm

You may be a touch too late on this one, Haz... these women seem to be fully formed at this stage... LOL

4:24 pm

If bribery and manipulation don't work, there's always authority! :)

4:24 pm

No loitering. Put her down, sir, you don't know where she's been.

4:24 pm

LOL, Lori... you are breathing proof of my prior words...

4:24 pm

A term in the home for the bewildered sorts EVERYONE out.

4:25 pm

Where's the head nurse? Does the head nurse have authority over Haz?

4:25 pm

NO-ONE has authority over the Police Chief. It's the law of England.

4:25 pm

No, Uni... Haz is the ultimate, last word!!

4:25 pm

Methinks the ehad nurse would cower at Haz's supreme supremacy.

4:25 pm

*Loiters*

4:25 pm

Haz! HAZ!!!!!

4:25 pm

And the Lesser Antilles...

4:26 pm

It's a benevolent dictatorship.

4:26 pm

Do you think Imran will be assassinated next?

4:26 pm

This English law is starting to become suspect. I need to buy myself a copy of these laws...

Atalante!! Happy Holidays!1

4:26 pm

Hello Atalante!

4:26 pm

Atlante!!!!!!! ***hugs***

4:26 pm

Oh, my heart broke this morning...

4:26 pm

I hope not, Atalante - a shock, wasn't it?

4:26 pm

Ata, baby..coming down my chimney tonight...[/bad singing]

4:26 pm

The laws of England can be blamed for most things, including FMitch.

4:26 pm

***I see that teaching her to question authority may have been a mistake...****

4:26 pm

utterly. I'm still shocked, I think

4:27 pm

You like to think that people learn from history, but it seems not to be the case, sadly.

4:28 pm

I heard it on the radion, coming home from work. I was surprised, but not overly so.

4:28 pm

For a strange moment this morning, I remembered the day that Anwar Sadat was assassinated...

4:28 pm

radion is somehwat akin to a radio station, by the way ***slaps forehead***

4:29 pm

no ..... *mope* I can't say I was surprised, just saddened. She must have known it would happen at some point, and to still go back with her life at risk like that is amazing

4:29 pm

She knew, Ata... and continued to stand tall for her people...

4:29 pm

It took courage, no matter what one thought of the past events.

4:29 pm

Sadly I think it was only a matter of time. Those who wanted her dead weren't going to stop until they got their way. Something like 160 other people have been killed in the 2 attempts on her life.

4:30 pm

exactly Haz. The cold hard reality. not if, but when.

4:30 pm

I just have such a gut-knot about Musharraf...I have never trusted him, and now I have nothing but comtempt for him, and his puppets...

4:30 pm

***retreats to kicthen, and pizzer dough, hopes uni keeps me abreast of chat, since she is conveniently located in the kitchen***

4:31 pm

Enjoy those pizzas, Uni/Lori... I see the car pulling into the driveway... See you all later!

4:31 pm

sorry, I've utterly depressed the chat now!

4:31 pm

You don't think Dubya will try to help?

4:31 pm

Enjoy your company Red! We'll be thinking of you

4:32 pm

Well, that's got rid of Scarlet and LoriP. We can talk about them behind their backs - Uni won't snitch.

4:32 pm

if he helps, it'll go to hell in a handbasket like normal!

4:33 pm

You think he lacks the political sensitivity for the situation?

4:33 pm

HAHAHAHAHA....."Dubya help"............surely you jest

4:33 pm

Is that an oxymoron do you think?

4:33 pm

st6/39 please someone

4:34 pm

dubya? sen - sen - sen - what?

4:34 pm

absolutely...like jumbo shrimp

4:35 pm

st6/39 - a piggy place, followed by three uncooked letters, but move the last one one place further along in the alphabet. (an x opportunity)

4:35 pm

Thanks Haz

4:35 pm

You're welcome.

4:36 pm

I think Dubya might just be too much of the second half to be involved in an oxymoron

4:37 pm

Ah well, soon he won't have to bother his head about all these things.

4:38 pm

gold stars to Uni. thats fab. I love that *giggles madly*

4:40 pm

'Tis true...The countdown has become short. But then...what if it gets worse?

4:40 pm

it can get worse?

4:41 pm

Somebody feel Uniquity's head. She's clearly feverish.

4:41 pm

I suppose Arnie could change the legislature and become pres

4:41 pm

What sort of a mother leaves a ranting daughter so she can make pizzas?

4:41 pm

LOL....I have been by the fire all day, and I am mighty warm **checks temp**

4:42 pm

Well guys...I live just above the nutjobs! You're safely far away!

4:42 pm

I knew it. I can diagnose delirium from thousands of miles away. It's a gift.

4:43 pm

One of many Haz, one of many :)

4:43 pm

Ah well. The gift of sewing still hasn't fallen into my lap.

4:44 pm

Don't be selfish Haz...it's delirium diagnosis or sewing. Take your pick

4:45 pm

Delirium diagnosis kind of helps to save people from themselves. Sewing would only do that if I were a surgeon..... so maybe the fever thing is best.

4:46 pm

talking of fever, did Spangle recover from her paw hurtiness?

4:47 pm

Yes indeed, she's firing on all four cylinders now. Antibiotics saved the day.

4:47 pm

yay! thats great

4:48 pm

Hopefully that will keep her healthy for another while. It's hard to get a decent vet around here.

4:48 pm

I bet. Awfully hard

4:48 pm

Money-grabbers.

4:49 pm

definitely. overenthusiastic with prescribing euthanol

4:49 pm

I'm just laughing at my poor reading of the icons. I had Uniquity's as a blonde bombshell in a red feather boa and yours was a black headed sheep.

4:50 pm

Is a visit to the optician in order, do you think?

4:50 pm

But am I right in surmising that this is THE CAKE?

4:53 pm

Blonde bombshell....small child with a tinfoil hat...Whatever :)

4:53 pm

Is it the Junior Edition of 'Tinfoil hat making?'

4:55 pm

It's the best I could do as representation of our tinfoil hat...google gave me strange results such as tinfoil underwear :(

4:56 pm

argh tell you in a sec!

4:56 pm

TInfoil underwear. You'd be kind of rustly.

4:57 pm

And uncomfortable, i can only hope

4:57 pm

back. had to run for a wee. not that you needed to know that! yes, that is THE CAKE. think Jac would be proud?

4:58 pm

The cake looks delicious...I want one

4:58 pm

friends!

4:58 pm

I think THE CAKE looks as if you spent a lot of time and effort on it. Did it taste scrumdiddlyumptious?

4:58 pm

it tasted *gorgeous*. Really really gorgeous

4:59 pm

Hello hurshy!

4:59 pm

hurshy!!!!!!!!1 yay!!!!

4:59 pm

You sound relieved, hurshy?

Good afternoon, need a clue for st6/39, please?

5:00 pm

i haven't seen you (haz and ata) in several days - it's just nice to see you again

5:00 pm

st6/39 - a pig home, plus the opposite of cooked, but move the last letter one along in the alphabet.

5:00 pm

*hugs hurshy and marty who is bound to be lurking*

5:00 pm

I've been lying low, hurshy but decided to put my head above the parapet again.

Thanks Haz great clue

5:01 pm

I'm glad it worked for you, Marc.

5:01 pm

yes marty is real glad i'm home from work.

5:02 pm

Hi everyone...and the seasons greetings to you all...

5:02 pm

Hello Flask - gearing up for Hogmanay?

5:03 pm

poor pakistan... :(

5:03 pm

Och my son is celebrating already...and I hate when he drinks to excess.....makes me ery nervous!

5:04 pm

Yes Hurshy, its dreadful.....am just watching it now

5:04 pm

He'd notice if you watered down the drink?

5:04 pm

Oh if only I could!

5:05 pm

How was your xmas Haz?

5:05 pm

hello, I'm back again

5:05 pm

Terrible news from Pakistan

5:05 pm

It was busy, Flask, I had my sister staying for a couple of days and both daughters are home. I had a lazy day today, though.

5:05 pm

Hi Annie....

5:06 pm

will you look at that, even bush managed to talk about it without smirking.

5:06 pm

Hello Annie.

5:06 pm

did he make sense, hurshy?

5:06 pm

We were wondering if he would offer to help the situation. Maybe he realises it's just a bit too hard for even him.

5:07 pm

i only saw a short clip, but he did not... not make sense.

5:07 pm

yes, but did you notice that they[murderers] must be punished........is this his next firing range?????

5:07 pm

i dunno...

5:08 pm

It's just talk to fill up a sound bite.

5:08 pm

oh, so cynical adn so true

5:09 pm

yep!

I have 2 of the 3 st6/18 the one that is a direct line and the ones that sounds Italian any clues for the other one?

5:09 pm

At least we're not fooling ourselves...just as he no longer seems to be fooling anybody

5:10 pm

st6/18 - one who declares?

5:10 pm

here's a shocker: mitten is interested in my clam chowder

5:10 pm

Very well said, Uniquity

Sorry don't get the clue Haz

Is this the first of the three?

5:11 pm

st6/18 - the first - add an alternative word to the preceding st4/4

5:13 pm

Ok...am gonna bid you all goodnight...see you tomorrow! Goodnight!

5:13 pm

good evening everyone. Haz, nice to see you again.

5:13 pm

i'm puzzled by the bottom N

5:13 pm

Goodnight Flask - sleep well.

Thanks got it finally

5:13 pm

5:13 pm

It's a babblet, hurshy.

5:13 pm

good night Flask, pleasant dreams

5:13 pm

Hello Mom - how are you?

5:14 pm

Hi Mom!

5:14 pm

I am doing just fine Haz, and you?

5:14 pm

{{Annie}} hello there

5:14 pm

I'm well,thanks.

5:15 pm

5:15 pm

I'm eating too much chocolate, though.

5:16 pm

5:16 pm

5:16 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers! How's everone doing today?

5:16 pm

hello minveryork!

5:16 pm

Hurshy, how did your visit go last week?

5:16 pm

Hi Min, good to see you.

5:16 pm

I suppose it is. When you're presented with chocolate it would be churlish to last it out for days, wouldn't it?

5:16 pm

evening, babblers :)

5:17 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!

5:17 pm

au6,24 please

5:17 pm

hil lil!

5:17 pm

au6/24 is the latin singular of the preceding au5/12.

5:17 pm

yes Haz, it must be eaten immediately.

5:17 pm

{{LilMonkey}} hello

5:18 pm

I need to ask for clues for the last six words as I'm about to get booted off the computer. On my mom's computer

5:18 pm

Sell by dates and things. You can't be too careful, Mom.

5:18 pm

exactly my thinking, Haz

5:18 pm

Thanks, Hazel, also means yellow in latin

5:19 pm

Another fact learned today.

5:19 pm

i think "neru" should be a word {hmpf}

5:20 pm

as in... nehru?

5:20 pm

tr6,24 , my last word please

5:20 pm

emergency room area in a hospital

5:20 pm

sorry Bubba, I don't have it

5:20 pm

tr6/24 - your first port of call when injured to sort out medical priority.

5:21 pm

5:21 pm

5:22 pm

hi stid and glad you have tr 6/24

5:22 pm

5:22 pm

hi {{{mom}}}

5:22 pm

people who get older, minver?

5:22 pm

lovely scarf, Stid

5:22 pm

ag5/14 - either a plural or ag plus female spanish river

5:22 pm

Actually, I need the third ag 5/14 word if anybody has it

5:23 pm

sorry Min, I don;t

5:23 pm

Then that's the ag plus Spanish river, female variety and plural for ag6/24

5:23 pm

ag + hook letter + two vowels

5:23 pm

clue for ar8/70?

5:24 pm

thanks Mom -- just changed back to my yellow shirt. The scarf came in handy today when I went out with a friend to inspect her partially finished home...

hi, all

5:24 pm

Thanks Doxy

5:24 pm

Hi Tea

5:24 pm

Haz, Lori and I were wondering if you could give us a clue for the de6,24? :D

5:24 pm

hi Tea!

5:24 pm

ar8 - to the first four contending letters add a slightly mixed up version of what the arsonist wants to achieve.

5:24 pm

bush would probably tell people who disagree with him not to be ar8s

5:24 pm

Never mind!Just found the ag5/14 word! Thanks though

5:24 pm

yw. Hi all by the way.

5:24 pm

there's no D...

hello, how goes it?

5:25 pm

hi doxy!

5:25 pm

LoriP and Uniquity are trying to push me over the edge of insanity.

5:25 pm

nice clue, haz. thanks!

5:25 pm

hello TEA!!!! how are you? are the kids well? is your tree still vertical?

5:25 pm

You're welcome, smaller.

5:25 pm

thanks haz and hurshy. strange word.

5:25 pm

SMALLZZZZZZZZZZZZ

5:25 pm

But I thought we were level-headed? Scarlet said! Stid...it's a running joke, you're lucky to not know

the treeis fine, I don't think I am vertical :)

5:26 pm

tghe kids are fine - playing with Cmas presents

5:26 pm

5:26 pm

Hey Nut!

5:27 pm

weird AR 8... but I got it (the Bush clue did the trick)

5:27 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the te5/16 word yet please

5:28 pm

So Dubya DID help.

5:28 pm

like the eric idle sketch where he drones on and on and on and never stops to take a break he just goes on and on and ...

5:28 pm

maybe we needs to do less stories

5:28 pm

there's a first time for everything

5:28 pm

te5/16 - te plus the beginnings of a person appointed legally to look after children

5:29 pm

fewer would be good... leave a bit for the next time.

5:29 pm

Or te plus the beginnings of the eighth month, backwards.

5:29 pm

yeppers....

5:29 pm

thanks Haz

5:29 pm

You're welcome, Mom.

5:30 pm

brb

nu8, please

5:31 pm

nu8 - a three lettered firearm backward, forward to a British conservative. (Or change a vowel on ne7 and add the sometimes vowel at the end)

5:32 pm

I almost have "neurosis" -- or is it neuroses? *grin* I found neurosy, but the dictionary didn't...

5:32 pm

great clue HAz!

5:32 pm

Hi, I was messing around, typing in words and came up with one that isn't in my dictionary, and I don't know what it means................ yikes

5:32 pm

aha, so that's one of my bottom N's!

5:32 pm

no wonder i couldn't find it.

5:32 pm

Glad it worked, Stidmama.

5:33 pm

hi snags... you know you can click on the question mark next to the word you found and usually it links to an online definition?

5:33 pm

thanks for the nu8, another weird one.

5:33 pm

now what's the other one?

5:33 pm

I am finished!Thank you all for your wonderful clues!YAY

5:33 pm

You've tried kicking it, Minver? No success?

5:35 pm

Hi Stid :)

5:36 pm

sorry snags... some words don't have good definitions. One of the drawbacks, I suppose to a "free" dictionary

5:36 pm

You can always google the word as well, snags.

5:37 pm

hi Mom... how are you today?

5:37 pm

thanks for the help stid, and haz............ guess I can live without knowing the meaning.

5:37 pm

roys

Stid, I am just fine. How are you?

5:38 pm

LOL I am tired and slow today Mom... sitting for the first time since I got up. It's also snowing and attempting to stick (but so far only wet slush accumulating)

5:38 pm

This computer is a pain in the butt! I am leaving.Bye all!

5:40 pm

Hi Feather

5:40 pm

And the other x featuring word is su6 - you pay it to the nice Revenue people.

5:40 pm

stid, did you see i invited you to a scramble game? it's basically racing in babble, but with 3 letter words and on your own time like the scrabble games

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

NO!

5:41 pm

oooh. wow. thanks for the SU 6 hax, still looking for the st 6...

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

There is such a thing as a phantom pregnancy.....

5:41 pm

feather, I saw, but to be honest there are just too many invites to things! *sigh* I will check it out though...

5:41 pm

hmph...no one ever thinks of me

fu6/36, please

fine

5:42 pm

Stid, start out with the pig's home

5:42 pm

*stid

5:42 pm

nutley -- you can call me preggers if you like. It'll scare Tom though... LOL but the rest of us will know it's not true!

5:42 pm

5:42 pm

fu6 - fu plus the Forida reptile, cut off at both ends.

5:42 pm

5:42 pm

LOL thanks haz! another plant word...

5:43 pm

you can still call me preggers, as much as you want, but i'm DONE with pregnancy!

5:43 pm

oh oh, I remember when Tom got his nose bumped... is doug okay?

Thanks got it

5:43 pm

this doesn't seem a pleasnant grid...its not giving up the words nice

5:43 pm

*thinking feather sounds prety emphatic*

5:43 pm

i can't call you preggers if you're not preggers....

5:43 pm

I agree nut, only have 60 words acquired, and usually I have at least 90 by this time in this size grid

5:44 pm

ah well...such is life...

5:44 pm

I am liking the grid. Wanting to quit but struggling to get half way

5:44 pm

ok, gotta go start the whole bathtime fiesta. nick's up first. cya later!

5:44 pm

Marc Freeman, where is Fairfield Ia, I am in Lincoln Ne

5:44 pm

later feather!

5:44 pm

I am NOT liking the grid

5:44 pm

It's a grid that needs to be worked at a little.

5:44 pm

i got a new sweater today :)

5:44 pm

bye Feather

5:44 pm

nigther feathers

5:44 pm

how nice Hurshy

5:44 pm

cool, hurshy! (or warm?) LOL what's it like?

5:45 pm

Bye Feather.

5:45 pm

may I have assistance on a Y word? trying to grab one from each tile before I hit the list. Not even going to push to halfway today.

5:45 pm

i got back on the eliptical today...(waits for praise)

5:45 pm

good job nut! how long did it last? *wicked grin*

5:46 pm

**applause, applause** Congrats Nutty

5:46 pm

yt6 - y, help yourself to a double helping of the consonant, add a Spanish river, female variety. Then plural it.

5:46 pm

it is from the gap - i got a gap gift card as a business present and had ordered it, and it arrived today. it's a brown cable-knit crew neck and the sleeves are nice and long and stuff, i like this whole "tall sweater" concept they have.

5:46 pm

hmphh stid...i'm thinking you aren't expecting me to make it 18 minutes

5:46 pm

thanks haz! got 'em!

5:46 pm

haz, thanks for that excellent clue

5:46 pm

Great, Stid1

5:46 pm

wow. I don't think I could do five at the moment, nut! well done!!!!

5:47 pm

sounds very pretty Hurshy

5:47 pm

You're welcome, lil.

5:47 pm

i thought i might pass out...hurshy definitely had more fun

5:47 pm

and getting the list. at 5:47 game time. *marks official babble log*

5:47 pm

GU6?

5:48 pm

oh, I bet it's lovely and warm, hurshy. I also like the sweaters that are finally long enough to actually cover!

5:48 pm

how did i have more fun? by getting a sweater?

5:48 pm

gu6 - reach a means of bringing in fish by means of a consonant

5:49 pm

Or, g, a funeral container, a little alien.

5:49 pm

***sure do wish there was a de 6/24 in this grid***

5:49 pm

thanks Haz

5:49 pm

cause you weren't on an eliptical hursh, most everything is more fun than an eliptical

5:49 pm

LOL I liked the first clue, but the second one did it haz!

5:49 pm

Haz starts gibbering.

5:49 pm

Lori, you are Pro!!!

5:50 pm

ah. NOW the snow is beginning to stick. brb after I call Tom and ask him to come home early...

5:50 pm

thanks haz

5:50 pm

ohhhh

5:50 pm

It's the sort of clue where you understand it AFTER you've found the word, stid!

5:50 pm

congrats Lori! Uniquity told me your lovely gifts!

does the ar8 work off the ar7 before it?

5:51 pm

Stid, is Tom coming home early?

5:51 pm

Thanks stid. Mom. Hugs to y'all! It rocks. I cried. I had a moment, as it were...

5:51 pm

I don't think so... he's in the middle of fixing something.

5:51 pm

that is so sweet. I love your icon too.

5:51 pm

sort of Marc, slight modification

5:51 pm

oh, i just noticed i'm at the dreaded 14

5:51 pm

oh well, I let him know, so it's up to him if he drives on wet pavement or otherwise.

5:52 pm

go hurshy go!

5:52 pm

oh dear. I am sure he will make it home before too long

5:52 pm

Did you have a nice Christmas Mom?

5:52 pm

what is the second AG 5/14 please?

5:52 pm

Haz, was a sweet, thoughtful thing to do.

5:52 pm

Kind of, Marc. Take ar6, add a backwards Kipling poem in the right place so that you end up with a slightly rearranged version of what the arsonist wants to achieve (last four letters, that is)

5:52 pm

I did, Lori. How about you?

5:52 pm

2nd ag 5 is a plural stid.

5:53 pm

*fishBOP* thanks Lori!

5:53 pm

Mom, I knew that Lori had reservations about internet security, so I took the risk for her. Just call me a daredevil.

5:53 pm

Was awesome Mom. Lots of laughs.

5:53 pm

Oh Haz, you do like living life on the edge. :)

5:54 pm

Glad to hear that Lori.

5:54 pm

Don't I?

5:54 pm

Haz, you are SO reckless! *wishes I were more like Haz*

5:54 pm

Not so much security, as my reluctance to take from "strangers". As time went on, a year later, nobody here is a stranger. Strange maybe....... :-) But not strangers.

5:54 pm

second AU 5 please?

5:54 pm

I wish I were Haz.

Thanks Lori got it and the 9 too

5:54 pm

I have the ridiculous nu8, clue for the other 8 anyone?

6:01 pm

***hoping tomorrow's grid has a de 6/24*** My monkeys were in hard shape today. I found this grid an odd one

6:01 pm

They've obviously not been trained in Scots law, Stid.

WOW! that is weird! They turned out beautifully. Recipients were happy!

6:01 pm

ar8 = gw bush version of ar6

6:01 pm

Does it have to be THAT de6/24 or will any de6/24 do?

hursh not following that gwb clue...any reference to him makes me think "mental defective"

6:03 pm

gu = like the stone

gu6: like the word for a stretcher, but with a Frenchified last 2 letters

6:03 pm

6:12 pm

I'm working on the r's - can I have a clue for ru 7/32???

6:12 pm

Hi Doxy.

6:13 pm

thanks JBV.... got that one!

Actually, haven't had the turkey yet. Will roast it on Saturday. We had Cornish Hens.

No they are just a pair of piggies. Not that i care i really don't like ham and i am gone the darn thing is gone. there was a kilo of bone and sadly i don't have a large pot to turn it into soup

6:14 pm

hello autumn!

Hi Brook

hey, autumn

6:15 pm

okay, I got the last GA 4/5 combo...

But i will gladly take up an offer to tidy my lounge room

6:15 pm

so I need the first GA 5 please, and will monkey the other one I need.

the one where the 5 is biology, stid?

actually, both are, but with totally different meanings :D

6:16 pm

biology, tyger? you mean the class I didn't take in any school? ever? LOL

1st ga5 is a floridian version of a croc

6:17 pm

okay, thanks tyger... *thinking*

I didn't care much for biology in HS, but was originally a microbiology major in college :)

Have to go, only 10 left and only g4's. Thanks for all the clues

6:18 pm

yw, stid :)

ROFL, stid

6:20 pm

nu8: nu + Florida's croc + sometimes vowel

6:21 pm

Gs' grappled

6:21 pm

8 left, all U's

6:21 pm

anyone want ME to clue the nu 8????

herin, you're with stid RE biology? :P

6:21 pm

stid do you have a clue for the first gr 4/6?

Is that nu 8 actually a word? Seriously people.

yes, herin, it is. it has an appropriately trivial meaning

6:22 pm

apparently the dictionary thinks so

6:22 pm

The nu8 means trivial or unimportant

I think Stid and i were probably skiving off into the library hiding and playing a game or ten of scrable

6:22 pm

first gr 4/6: what people say when you accomplish something: conGR**ulations

WRT the Us - a famous US politician said, I'm a un****, not a divider (several of the Us can be derived from that)

6:23 pm

OK - that's one I would never have found

6:23 pm

thanks for the nu clues! got it!

I was just reading my email and i came here. Also I just need to vacuum the carpet and the cat

6:25 pm

ROFLMAO

6:27 pm

6:27 pm

6:27 pm

6:28 pm

good luck to all and congrats to all finishers. *poof*

6:28 pm

weird animals. cats. their pets aren't too bright either, methinks *strokes parakeet and dogs*

6:28 pm

good heavens, rudy giuliani appeared as himself on law and order???

6:29 pm

that makes two presidential candidates who've been on the show...

I like cats. they were the only pets my mother allowed when I was a kid

6:29 pm

well the only other character he could play hurshy, is the SPECTOR OF DEATH and I suppose he didn't want that role...

6:29 pm

i think sam waterston would have a better chance than fred thompson, don't you?

6:29 pm

okay, need a passel of RU words now...

but I'm really a doggy-type person

there was a neat article about Watterson in Newsweek

it said something very like that

someone who regrets, stid

and then plural

Yes the cat will just lay there and be vacuumed or try and take it on as it has disturbered her

"my life is in ru**s"

6:30 pm

re5/16: when you have to adjust the size of something

yw, brook

Thanks Tyger. She is nuts. Now i have a new camera there is going to be more silliness

the st6 with high value rhymes with the rock h**** (small animal related to elephant)

the high value su6 ends in that word hated of Usians on April 15th

6:36 pm

wow this guy is the suckiest lawyer ever

6:36 pm

Hurshy i don't watch that show as I worked in a court and thus involves me yelling at the telly. But have fun

6:37 pm

6:38 pm

6:43 pm

6:44 pm

WTG STID !!!

I agree, stid. It is a dumb word

6:44 pm

6:44 pm

hehehe

6:44 pm

I have 16 to go - all t's - can I start with ta 6/24???

nope. I have days when I can't find my hand in front of my face

6:45 pm

go JBV go!

6:45 pm

ta 6/24: the bulls eye in the center of the ta****?

6:45 pm

the 5/14 before it takes off the last letter

I was really frustrated about the yt words. I so wanted ytterbium or the other actual element to be in there

6:45 pm

*grins at tyger* so that's why I couldn't see the screen so well!

probably so. :)

instead, it was that compound :blech:

hadda find it in a word list :(

6:47 pm

I just asked Haz for help on that tyger... I would have been very nearly clueless otherwise.

6:48 pm

thanks, stid - for the bulls eye

sometimes having a science background makes a big difference with the grids. sometimes it just makes you mad :P

that was a good clue, wasn't it, JBV

6:48 pm

yw JBV

6:49 pm

ro 6 please

6:49 pm

okay, I need to take an eyeball break. Back later! {{{everyone}}}

6:49 pm

ro 6 is a plural word for something like a podium...

6:49 pm

ro 6 is latin plural for a place where speakers stand

ro6: Latin plural of the thing a speaker stands behind

later, stid

6:50 pm

RO + a shepherd keeps the lambs from s***ying

6:50 pm

*poof*

and hugs

we all said so nearly the same thing - I'm glad you could get it from that

oh, stid's 2nd clue was GREAT

I'm gonna hafta leave in about 15 minutes. Hopefully someone else who's finished will come in, or one of you guys will finish and be able to clue when I have to leave.

I'll stick as long as I can, tho

6:54 pm

tyg still trying to find that dang au5 and 6 lol

okay. I'll give you another shot :)

6:55 pm

i'd blame it on the headache ..but don't think that's it

au5: au + "the **ason for the season" + vertical vowel

6:56 pm

ty was sure i tried that

yw

6:56 pm

or i guess everything but i suppose

au6: 1st 4 letters the same + objective case of "we"

6:57 pm

tyty

yvw :)

6:58 pm

14 left

6:58 pm

hello all!!

6:59 pm

6:59 pm

fe 5's missing 2 ..has the boat

we haven't been on at the same time lately, pink. how was your holiday?

fe5/18: fe + 5th vowel + "**e you okay?"

7:00 pm

triple digits is out of my reach. i'm proud of my 45

fe5/18: a move meant to deceive - often used in swordplay

vee, have you tried using Lickety's page?

7:01 pm

well, the family was ill with the flu, so we didnt celebrate xmas on the 25th we done it tonight and it was a really nice evening.

7:01 pm

what's Lickety's page?

7:02 pm

how was yours tyger?

sorry to hear about the flu. no fun. glad your belated celebration was nice

mine was very nice, thanks. just my son & me, but we enjoyed each other, and the dinner we cooked together

7:02 pm

tyty

yw, joanne

7:03 pm

Hi, veeder, you should click on Lickety's Babble Clues at the bottom of the grid - I could never solve this without Lickety!

vee, look at the bottom left corner of this page. You'll see a link for it @ top of middle column

7:03 pm

sounds cosy tyger, im glad you enjoyed the day!!

his fiance called, and he talked to her (she's in another country)

it was pretty cosy, at that :)

7:04 pm

clue for ta 5/14, anyone??

7:04 pm

does she live or is she working abroad?

ta5/14: ta6 minus last letter

she's in the Philippines, pink

that's her home

they met online

7:06 pm

thanks, tyger I have that one - but there's one (before the ta 4/9)

2nd ta5/14: something that's ragged

sorry bout that

has a double consonant before sometimes vowel ending

7:07 pm

OK, thanks, got it

yw

7:07 pm

ok fu6 please

fu6: fu + Spanish word for cat

if you need an alternate, joanne, say so :)

7:08 pm

hehe i don't know spanish tyg

7:08 pm

tyger, then there's a ta 4/4 between the 14's - can't see that at all!

7:09 pm

im guessing they travel to see each other, i hope it all works out for them....i am sceptical about online romances i didnt think they would work...obviously they do lol

ta4/4: a very small pie

7:09 pm

got that and the plural, too, there's still one more

some of them do; some don't. but he's 43 and she's 41

oh. the other one is a root crop, used by the Hawaiians to make poi

7:10 pm

tyger, I've got that one, too - there's one between the ta 5/14's - that's the one I need....

7:11 pm

could it be the most pie one with sometimes vowel??

7:11 pm

jbv - to make lace

okay - that one is the slang for pictures made with ink on human skin

7:11 pm

OK, thanks Poo's Mom and tyger!

yw, JBV

7:12 pm

yw!

7:12 pm

ok back to the spanish fu6 tyg

joanne, the entrance to a garden is sometimes a ***e - change the e for round vowel

7:13 pm

fu + slang for gun (ga 4/6) + round vowel

7:14 pm

tyty

yw :)

7:14 pm

the tr's have me really stumped - how about tr 5/16 and 5/14???

tr5/14: a secret meeting (sometimes vowel in middle)

tr5/14: t + r*** (things you put on floor)

oops, last was a 16

7:15 pm

thanks, I needed them both!

yw

"Last call" - as bartenders say

7:20 pm

Hi tyger

7:21 pm

Pink sounds good

DO you know a cat with wet feet is funny

7:38 pm

a wet cat is funny, period

Brillant idea Natts

7:38 pm

Hi, all....

7:38 pm

but when their feet are wet, it is cute... they keep shaking one paw after another... stop to lick... shake again as they walk.. and so on... hehe

7:39 pm

i know...mine kinda shakes for leg and foot, thinking its going to make a difference lol

7:39 pm

hi pam

7:39 pm

hi pam

7:39 pm

you type very quickly LadyN

She loves being bathed actually leaned into the nosle . I have one of those ones you stick over the tap outlet she loves it

Hi Pam

There is a wet pic of her in my flicka accoutn

7:40 pm

That's why I loved tangleword so much... sigh

7:40 pm

Hi, natt, pink, and erinfer

7:40 pm

*herinfern

Thats ok Pam

7:41 pm

Willow runs if as much as a splash of water touches her, but we really get her in summer when we have water fights...she just fluffs up and hisses

Pink that is funny. Yes its odd that she likes a bath

7:41 pm

I get my kids to wash the cats

7:42 pm

at us...and when she does it, its so cute

7:42 pm

that way, they'll also take a few minutes to clip their nails

7:42 pm

are you meant to clip their claws?

Do you then laugh at her pink as that is the ultimate insult? Natts i let the vet do that

Pink you can clip their claws if they are an inside cat. You can also get claw covers too

7:43 pm

one of my daughters wants to be a vet.. she's been clipping cat nails since she was a pre-teen (she's 18 now)... you do it wrong once, and you never forget it.

7:43 pm

i laugh and then she looks at me like she's saying her head "you bitch!!"

7:44 pm

i take it someone ended up clawed LadyN

7:44 pm

g'evening all.. i'm new here.. i can see it's addicting. one MUST solve it eh?

7:44 pm

perhaps.. not me.. but I have done it wrong once... caused bleeding on the poor thing

7:45 pm

indeed, umopapisdn... Welcome to Babble!

http://www.softpaws.com/ this is the claw cover.

7:45 pm

willow is an outdoor cat, she was cool girl's then was given to us after she had her 2nd or 3rd litter

Hi Um and welcome

7:45 pm

Hello, all. I'm finally back for my last 39 words. Everyone had a good (or at least bearable) Christmas?

7:46 pm

7:46 pm

I have to show you this

http://tinyurl.com/ypapxx

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

7:51 pm

cute herin

http://www.squishable.com/s/ and if you need a hug these are the things for you

Natts come do my laundry too. FYI Wet cat smells as bad as wet dog.

7:52 pm

hehe herin..

7:53 pm

LOL herin... I had to force myself to do laundry - started yesterday. Otherwise, I have to pay.

7:53 pm

I'm in the middle of a doing a huge pile of laundry, too.

OH doing that at work ??? My g.f does that

7:54 pm

yesterday was a day off - boxing day... had to work today

I have to go and sort out the damaged bags of wet clothes (ewwwwww stinky)

7:54 pm

I also have about 6 hours' worth of ironing (that's not including the stuff I'm washing now).:((((

7:54 pm

hush jacula

7:55 pm

but the thing is, I hate spending money wastefully more than I hate doing laundry... and if it piles up too much, my hubby takes it to a laudromat that will do it. It costs me, literally, to not do laundry.

7:55 pm

Why Pink??

7:56 pm

hello, could someone help me with the Y's?

Fair emough. Its going to be 30 C here today so laundry must be done. I am wondering if 2 sleeping bags are worth washing as they are moldy or should be tossed

7:56 pm

6 hours worth of ironing!!!!! *meant in a sympathetic way, not in an offensive way*

7:56 pm

Herin - if mouldy, you'll never get the smell out. Throw them away!

7:57 pm

hey harp!!

7:57 pm

Oh, I see Pink. Coming to help me with it?

7:57 pm

Hi, Harp. Not from me - not got that far yet.

Thasts what i thought. As for ironing piffle to thta.

7:57 pm

you have got to be JOKING i dont do ironing!!!!

7:58 pm

Hi harpjane......Y words are obscure. Y + double consonant + ri 4

7:58 pm

say, what exactly IS this ironing I hear you speak of anyway?

7:58 pm

it's international laundry day! I'm buried in it too!

7:58 pm

HI harp

7:59 pm

7:59 pm

7:59 pm

thanks for the Y's

Ok so the USA Canada England and Aus are doing laundry woohoo

7:59 pm

i neglected my laundry today, need to do boatloads tomorrow

7:59 pm

Wyrd - it's because we can't do the laundry on the 'holiday' days and so we end up with tons of the dratted stuff afterwards.

8:00 pm

very true Jacula

8:00 pm

can I help with some clues?

8:00 pm

the Y word(s) refer to some unsoluble chemical powder

I had no choice as it was wet and crap last week. I was nearly out of undies (not that you needed to know that)

8:00 pm

I keep suggesting 'naturist' holidays to my family but they don't seem keen! LOL. It's a bit nippy here in winter for that.

HI Phan and Wyrd and Freather

8:01 pm

hi herin :)

8:01 pm

i am with harp--what, pray tell, is an iron 8-)

what does the Y start with

8:01 pm

Hi phand

8:01 pm

I don't iron i let the dry cleaners do that or the b.f

8:01 pm

um, it starts with Y?

8:01 pm

er...Y?

8:02 pm

You lot sound like my Mother re ironing - she once gave me back a blouse she'd had for 4 or 5 years in here ironing pile. I'd forgotten I even had it!

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

LOLOL, jac...

8:03 pm

I saw that but didn't get it

8:03 pm

and then plural

8:04 pm

ta6,24 please?

8:04 pm

pam - if might amuse you further to hear what she told me yesterday about the time she asked a sick friend if she could do anything to help and the sick friend asked her to do her ironing. 'I hope you appreciate this!' my Mother told the friend. 'I hate ironing and this is the greatest thing I can ever do for anyone.'

8:05 pm

Oh, that is rich, Jac. Thanks for sharing...

8:05 pm

8:09 pm

fe - the Staten Island fe***

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

harp - my other half bought a 'non-iron' shirt the other week - it creases more than the 'normal' ones! My son has two fantastic non-iron shirts from Marks & Spencers though, not a crease in sight on them.

9:20 pm

12 to go...need gr 6 (not the sandy one)! Help, anyone?

9:21 pm

fue6 sounds like a Spanish cigar but it isn't.

9:21 pm

The other gr6 is YUCK!

9:22 pm

Or Santa's cave for kids with a different last letter.

9:22 pm

sorry jac. i'm ignorant both of cigars and spanish :(

9:23 pm

thx, jacula...didn't try that combo b4

9:23 pm

*staggers in non--Babble direction now to check on laundry* PHEW!

9:25 pm

kay, back now, 12 to go. Should I pour myself another glass of the too high proof wine?

Yes Jac. Washing does that

9:27 pm

No, no wine yet. The missing r's are next... girds loins in readiness to tackle them.

Jac i have been doing washing since 1030am when i arose from bed. Its now 230

1430 sorry

9:29 pm

nu8 please?

9:29 pm

herin - I know the feeling! Same here! Plus more.

Nu plus Florida critter that lives in the gladds plus sometimes vowel

9:31 pm

thanks

Did that Actually make sense as that was a hard one to clue

9:31 pm

nu8 means of no value or worthless. nu + slang word for alli or croc like thing plus 'eeither/**'.

Jes i bathed the kitty earlier and she actually leaned into the spray nozel

9:32 pm

Herin - some cats love water and most hate it.

Mine likes it. I fill the bath with a little bit of water to wash her paws as she wont let me do that bit then get a hair dressing tap nozel shower head thing she loves it. I guess kitty massage

Jac when she is in the mood she likes being vacuumed too

9:38 pm

I used to be having a bath when the one before the barmy next-door-neighbours' cat would barge in, eithe through door or window. She'd pittypaw around the rim of the bath, looking down at me as though I was made to take such a risk, then she'd settle down on the shelf behind to put an occasional reassurring paw on my shoulder. I didn''t dare move or splash, or else she'd do the I'LL SAVE YOU! paw thing with the claws out.

Jac that is way too cute. Sans claws very cute

9:42 pm

She was the sweetest cat, herin.

9:43 pm

fluffy tortoiseshell female.

Nor cute. Did they move or did she pass on?

9:46 pm

2 to go: the st 6/39 and one of the 6/18s (have the 2 that end in "it" and "ti") really want to finish this...help, anyone?

Sorry i don't ahve a list so i don't know what you need

9:47 pm

They moved, herin, and wouldn't let me keep her, even though she was half mine.

9:48 pm

As far as I know she is still alive, and about 18 or 19 now.

9:48 pm

the 6 39

Pout. did they look after her though as that is important

9:49 pm

She got left with the hubby after they divorced, herin, and went on to eat the hamster \i sent them. Most unlike her!

9:49 pm

where the pigs live , hook letter and what u chop a tree down with

9:49 pm

if that is the one

Oh dear

9:50 pm

Their other cat (a smooth black hair called Pepsi) left home right after they moved. She got back to me about 2 or 3 months later but was never an indoor cat and so I fed her outside for as long as she turned up.

9:51 pm

Yippee! Thx nana!! got the 39...now just the last st 6/18

Wow poor kittys really didn't like their new home

9:51 pm

dont have it so sorry

9:51 pm

i have a ton to go but i think i am quitting, lol

9:51 pm

They didn't, herin.

9:51 pm

ok...i may give up...with only one to go!!

9:52 pm

But how can you tell someone that their cats would be better off being left with you??

DOnt give up MR

9:52 pm

i did that last week

9:52 pm

au5,12?

9:52 pm

when i went to bed i was so mad, but i was tired, lol

9:52 pm

my fingers have tried all combos...either I'm losing it or it's a weird one (like lots of others tonite)

9:53 pm

i know i did that too

9:53 pm

jes--a "mis-spell" of omen--or, add a vowel to ag 4/6

9:53 pm

sorry jes i have that word but i dont think i know how to clue it

Take a look at the list if you have a TRAY then TREE you are missing something between TRA and TRE think of it like a library sorting system

9:54 pm

au + a 2-letter word meaning 'about' + single letter personal pronoun.

9:54 pm

thanks jac

9:54 pm

yw, jes.

9:55 pm

jacula...you r so good w/clues! Any help with my last one? st 6/18??

9:55 pm

well. guess the 6 isn't the plural of that then...

9:55 pm

Commentary, like from the old US 'Soap' now... will Jacq find her last 12 words, does she care, is she sober enough, can she clue, who cares? LOL

9:56 pm

6 is the latin singular of that one, jes

9:56 pm

yes, yes, yes, yes, i do!

9:56 pm

3 x sy6/18

9:56 pm

thanks, mrae

9:57 pm

st6/18, I meant.

9:57 pm

9:57 pm

time for me to head out. good luck with the grid. see you all tomorrow

9:58 pm

have fun, dawg

9:58 pm

Bye Dawg! have a good night

9:58 pm

st6 that follows the st4/4 = st + first vowel + hill.

9:59 pm

Or rocky outcrop.

9:59 pm

ar8,70?

10:00 pm

well, i am dozing off--time to read and sleep following...

10:00 pm

ar8/70 and pural 9 are those who love to debate.

10:00 pm

still not feeling bright, jac...is this a british clue???

10:01 pm

It kind of looks like a 'row' plus some flames.

10:01 pm

flames?

10:02 pm

hoover, i got it right away with hubbies help

10:02 pm

lucky you...my hubby is as lost as i am!!

10:02 pm

Jac-builds of the first 4 of the ar5 then flames spelled wrong

10:02 pm

What are flames, jes, if not fire? The last part of the word you seek is an anagram of that.

10:02 pm

geez...just this one last word!! aargh!

10:02 pm

s+ slang for Potato, Hoover

10:03 pm

try the st, first vowel , and then try a word that sounds like what u do on vacation sometimes,,a walking --- of the sites

MR did you use the system i told you about?

10:03 pm

TADA!!!

10:04 pm

YEA MR!!

10:04 pm

LOL, I really can't spend time laughing when I still have a dozen word to find.

10:04 pm

Very sucky but the weather was horrid last week and i have to wash anything i can actually save from the garage flood where everything i owned was (about 10 bags of crap mostly summer clothes)

10:49 pm

Hi Jake!!! How was the bath?

10:50 pm

It was good. How is Steven>

10:50 pm

Steven wants to know what time Jake is coming over tomorrow...

10:50 pm

That is AWFUL Herin

10:50 pm

I want to know what gym he is on...

Sucks but less crap to move

10:50 pm

OMG Herin!!!! I'm so sorry...when dod this happen...I've been travelling so much and haven't been "here" much! Ok, that is TOTALLY sucky!

10:50 pm

fu 6 36?

10:51 pm

herin - you might as well pitch those clothes / shoes etc - the smell will not leave them

10:51 pm

He says he is on the third ( with a smirk)

10:51 pm

OH!!! He told a fib Dan

10:51 pm

(then why is he asking steven for direction to the 8th)

Um last Thursday. Big rain storm. My friend lost (close your eyes if your a comic nerd or a collector) about 10 grand worth of stock

10:52 pm

Did you lose much? But you could try Oxi-Clean...do you have that there Herin? That gets all kindsa crap out...if not I would love to send you a "tub"

Ren some stuff is ok as some of it was in the dead center of the bads.

10:52 pm

fu= fu+spanish word for cat

10:52 pm

Herin...Oxi-Clean...

10:53 pm

Exactly Dan

Heiny i have no idea what i have lost its all in a bit of a pickle at the moment. Translate that to Herin is avoiding the clean up.

10:53 pm
