sorry
thank you Dee
moon you ran off yahoo
not here
who is yahoo?
I am =)
And where did he run?
I'm amazing that way.
how did that happen, flosey?
I didn't move back
aren't you using Lickey Add?
I still move back and forth between chat and add words
You know how Lickety Add works?
I only use lickety when I run out of ideas on the grid..which is every board.
lol
yes jilli but I never use it to chat
why on earth not? It's great!!!
same here Ruru
hi lynxxx
old habits..... I guess
ruru, I'm talking about the Lickety Add box on BabbleExpert
it's saved me more times than i can count jilli!
I had trouble starting to chat.. because I am so shy and re6/8 ing
lol
Lol!
me too dan
re 8 if not called
my only problem with it is that i tend to push shift-enter rather than control enter for one word responses
well, I guess I should - there, I did
easy, eh flosey?
fireworks
I always feel so inadequate around volley, mitch, and dart..eek
yes, but guess you have to use more than one word?

Yes. Very schofty
i got the mopes last night and pretty much still have them but my best friend came out today and spent some time with me and that helped a lot
now im pi$$ed again cause he aint answering his phone and logan is getting upset
im sure there is a good explanation why not but it doesnt help lol
you mean Bill Schgates' company?
he is a major jerk, Kiwi, for not helping his kids through this. They are lucky they have you. And you have us, and you have every right to be pissed and mopey.
kiwi, do you get Time magazine around there? There's an interesting series of articles about Love in the current issue here.

Jim beam it is. I keep that for the St Bernard, usually, but tonight, it shall be yours, Kiwi.
You are correct, herin , and hi!

Morning again. Shrove Tuesday (pancake day) today - yummy.
Yah hi

Hi, pink!
Morning Pink
hi there pink
hi Frances :) Was told last year what pancake day was :D
PINK
Pancakes - no excuses needed. Any day is pancake day.
Hello sprite. How are you?
tsk... you know it is a bad night when a double dose of sleeping pills plus an oxazepam don't get you asleep... you know it is a bad day when coitus is a phantom.
Good morning to Sprite, Lynxxx, GK, Jellen, Moon, Flosey and Herin what a warm welcome on a cold miserable day :)
*Jellen does the pilling the cat celebratory dance*
fluey, Frances, but not too bad for the rest. How are you?
OOOOOOO sprite!
Coitus is Never a phantom. Well. Not usually, anyway
yippee jellen! you did it again!
*hugs pink* Is it just the weather, or is there more miserable on this day?
Just getting over the fluey sprite. Apart from that, fine thank you.
yayyyy Jellen! You hero!
Thank you, thank you!
{{dances merrily with Jellen and little cats at their feets}}
stupid flu... glad you are getting better, Frances!
just the weather sprite this morning, but knowing my luck some bull**** will happen and make me miserable1
pink! That is no way of thinking and you KNOW it. Order some good luck from the universe and not more bull poo. *very big hug*
Oh pink. Look on the bright side. I do, after all I did wake up this morning! Could have been worse.
hi everyone!
wow, that te8 and 9 is really stretching it isn't it?
hi Brookie! How are you, hun?
Hiya Brookie.
Hi, Brookie!
Hi Brookie
wow, that te8 and 9 is really stretching it isn't it? oh, darn, the witching hour
HI Brookie.
HI Brookie
Hello Brookie
That is so true Frances *reality check* and thanks Sprite *hugs for both*
pink come be miserable with me i could do with the company
back to lerking
doing well, sprite!
good eve brookie happy babbling
Hey Brookie, how are you and are things any better?
yay Brookie! Bad stuff settled already?
drama continues unfortunately. by the law of averages (or simply karma), good stuff should hopefully be right around the corner!
GK misery always needs company lol, we can sit in the box together putting the world to rights!!
and how is everyone doing?
well, will keep on sending good vibes your way then... we can sway karma in the right direction like nobody's business ;)
not too worried too much about the world but putting my life back together would be a good start lol
going thru some misery too, pink? sorry to hear that.
very good start, Kiwi. The only start, I'd say. *hug* for you too.
oh, i meant groovy, sorry
and pink too!
marriage meltdown brookie
how about hugs all around?
You have plenty of good coming your way. You may not feel it as it will take time but, when it does it will blow you over!!
yikes, sorry to hear that groovy
*group hug in FM's cozy sin bin in 1 minute*
hugs and bourbon will do me fine lol
(((Babblers)))
((((GK)))) *BIG HUGS*
oh i know both the boys and i will be better off without him but hes being atypical anal male - sorry guys lol
lol sprite
{{{ Everybuddy! }}}}
{{{{{{{{{{{{{Babble Gang}}}}}}}}}}}}
im so not going anywhere near the re's lol
Jellen, I love your cookbook ic4 :D
Wow. Mind the ribs sprite. That was a BIG hug!!!
a marriage break up is never easy no matter how much of an idiot he was, you'll make it through, you all will!
sorry Frances... I sometimes don't know my own strength ;)
ohhh ive covered off 3 tiles now lolol
groovy, if you ever want to chat (cause I'm going through crazy custody issues right now and am in the process of a divorce), I'll email you my email address right now.
the crazy custody issues arent at stake here but the biggie is that he is off overseas for three months at the end of the month and says that he will still pay the mortgage but doesnt intend to give me an allowance towards the boys
little does he know that he will be receiving a letter from my lawyer very shortly lol
id love it brookie
I am very proud of you that you took measures, Kiwi. You are handling this as a true lion tameress!
ty sprite - little steps lol
what has your lawyer advised GK?
with all the little steps you already took, you are way ahead of the anal retentive poor excuse for an exhusband-to-be, Kiwi!
A-HA Sprite. I TOLD you coitus wasnt a phantum.
co7/8 = coitus LOL
lol woof! Ok, I still re4 my case, but this makes up for it.
to let him go have his time away and then go for the jugular when he gets back lol
actually seriously i have a big issue - over here communal chattels are split 50/50 no matter what
groovy, is your email address @net instead of .net?
and considering that 90% of what is in this house i have purchased over the last 17 years im mighty pi$$ed that im going to have to loose it
and kids/custody don't come into the split Kiwi?
@paradise.net.nz
thanks so much
Actually, Kiwi. That's not wholly true. Depends how shifty you want to be about it.
they do but i dont think he will contest me having custody because he couldnt look after them with his shift work
it is over here moonie
But it seems to me that 3 months this spring you could have a "garage sale" and take cash for the stuff and ferret it away, if you felt justified.
the biggest bugbear is the house - neither of us can afford to live here on our own but neither of us can afford to buy either of us out
LOL sounds like a good plan GK...surely if you bought most of the possessions, your entitled to them, or at least dispute them?
spring? lol its coming into autumn here soon
Well, while that May be true, kiwi. That doesnt mean there isnt a way Around it.
no pink its communal chattels
my lawyer has already told me
i have a relatively new bedroom suite which im still paying off and he could take half of it if he wanted it and id still have to finish paying it off
And I forgot. Spring here, fall there, but still seems possible. You have a version of craigs list, or something like it?
Will he want to take 50%? My ex didn't want stuff.
groovy, what about furniture, etc. that you had before the marriage?
omg ive made halfway lol
brb
Congrats Kiwi!
Wahoo, Kiwi!
Kiwi, doesn't he have to pay half of the payments for the bedroom suite then?
if the marriage was under three years then i could contest it but since its 17 years its all classed as communal
and well done, Kiwi... see that nothing holds you down?
mind you i could turn around and say i want his car lol
and maybe a friendly bank manager can assist in refinancing the house. You never know and you have 3 months to sniff around
lynxx there is no way i could afford the mortgage on my own $770 a fortnite is half my salary
firewords
and to buy him out id need at least another $160k and the mortgage is already $160K
Congrats, dart!!!
yeah dart!
wtg dart ^5
nj dart
Have you checked on govt assistance or grants? There are many here in the states for single mothers who need help.
very nice dart
DERN IT
Yes, but you would need to get a new mortgage in your name a(house in your name) the new mortgage repayments could be lower than you think
did ossie tell you about her awful saturday?
because i work full time id get $8 week accomodation allowance
wtg dart well done!
wtg Darty
Congrats Dart !!
im entitled to about $200 a week child support BUT thats without him paying the mortgage
i dont have a great enough credit history to be able to get a mortgage on my own
I hope you are getting good help and advice, Kiwi. This is too much to tackle alone!
and considering we've been here 11 years i could quite happily move away from the memories
It does sound like a lot.
i did get ossies email sounded horrible :(
hope she's okay
sounded like she was doing better at the end
Try checking out mortgages Kiwi. You may be pleasantly surprised...and it costs nothing to ask
What happened to ossie?
well the hardest thing is that he leaves in three weeks so i cant do anything else until he gets back and considering and i quote "he cant decide if he loves me enough to want to stay married to me anymore but doesnt want to do anything about it till he comes back" crap i just have to stay in limbo until HE wants to sort it
came on so suddenly might happen again
Groovy and remember if hes an arse put purreed fish down his windows in his car
hope it doesnt come back
groovy, at the same time do you want to be with someone who has feelings like that?
ditto on the pureed fish
me too
that or brake fluiid on the duco
Kiwi, seems to me that where he still has doubts, you can be pretty sure you don't love HIM enough anymore, so the marriage is over anyway? Perhaps you can get your lawyer moving now, and not wait for analhubby to get to business.
what's a duco?
the problem i have is emotional - i love him to bits and would have him back in an instant on my terms but i know deep down that the boys and i will be better off without him. Its just a struggle realising it
Kiwi, 3 months is a great time to get stuff into order for 'just in case'...keep one step (or several) ahead of him
Car paint
sounds like you're going through very natural emotions, kiwi
brake fluid is not good for paint?
ANd Groovy that is whats hard sweetie. Love
West no its not
Kiwi, without pretending to know you really, but isn't the man you love the one you lost years and years ago? The one he was before he turned cold on you?
ossie had very bad abdominal pains...she said 10 on a scale of 1 to 10...went to the hosp. in an ambulance...had some morphine for the pain...not sure if they figured out what happenen...she felt better after the drugs...went home
I'm learning a lot of things lol
actually a number of ppl have said that going through a marriage breakup is like grieving for the loss of a loved one (death) its just as traumatic and you go through the exact same emotions of love and stress and greif and anger
dart do you remember jemima?
brake fluid and very cheap bologna will peel the paint off a car, westford. My principal got polka dots =)
Well Groovy we have ears here.
that is true, Kiwi. It really is.
Gk what if he comes back and decides he wants to give the marriage another go? He may come back with a clear mind and refreshed. The 3 month break maybe what you both need *just a thought*
That sounds awful Dart! she went home!!
yeah i know sprite
West im a Scorpio im vindictive bitch and know the things that is mean
think i remember a jemima
imagine what cheap bologna does to your insides
im keeping an open mind on that one pink but im not hopeful
Dart hope shes ok
I am married to a scorpio and gave birth to one
but if he does want that then it willd efinately be on my terms
Groovy, you say that you love him to bits - is it possible that he will go away and realise what he is missing and that he really does love you too?
better watch my back
sounds bad, dart and westford :(
it may put things into perspective, and give you the chance to decide what is best for you and your sons
Actually, since i dont have paint sealer in my tummy I should be fine, but the oil in the meat seeps into the pores and causes the paint to rise off.
I am a a nice person just don't mess with my friends
lol westford... as long as you don't humiliate or betray them, you should be fine.
used to chat with her most nights on tangle...she did come in here on 4,5 in a while but not lately
Seems so, west. =) We Can be evil.
no i dont think so frances - he has told me that under no circumstances am i to email him anything personal - thoughts feelings etc. he only expects to hear from me regarding the boys
I agree herin friends are golden
jem said the same thing happened to her when she was a teenager and turned out to be her appendix
she had none of the usual symptons
boy, that is harsh GK but if its time you both need then i can understand, but on the other hand its unfair of him to keep you in limbo
I had something like that several years ago, they said it was likely kidney stones, but never
quite figured it out.
Groovy perhaps that is because he is struggling with his emotions and needs the time away to sort them out.n Just a thought.
wonder if she still has hers?... i still have mine but i guess that not usual these days
I hope they figure it out for her. It sucks when that stuff is a surprise.
frances he has two emotions - grumpy and nothing
they must have asked at the hospital
Kiwi, just don't let him dictate what you can or can't do. If you need to vent to him, vent. If you don't want to, don't. But don't let him decide for you.
It's not ususal Dart. I still have All my useless parts, but it really isnt common.
and if he has any others i havent seen them in a long time
kiwi is he in the military?
hubby had pain like that, thought it was his appendix, opened him up and ended up removing half his bowel. Crohns disease. only 32. Hi everyone :)
i know sprite thats why i saw my lawyer
hes a prison officer west
maybe im thinking on tonsils...i still have those too
wow sunny he's okay now?
Hi Sunny, West and Dart!!
hi sunny, that is bad. My little girl had the same, appendix removed, was totally healthy. She was finally diagnosed with severe bladder infection.
Hi, sunny
hiya pink
good for you, Kiwi. *hugs*
that's a very stressful job isn't it kiwi?
Hi Sunny
anyway ive managed to make 200 on the board so gonna give up and try and sleep - didnt do to well last night so maybe tonite ill make up for it
Hugs Groovy
A lot of those arent common to have. Tonsils Appendix Wisdom teeth etc.
much hugs and my love and thanks to you all for being my nightly shoulder
sleep well and restful, Kiwi. Love ya.
G'night, Kiwi
i honestly dont know what id be like if i couldnt vent to you all lol
good night, kiwi
night kiwi
You're rocking Kiwi. I'm up to 110. But have a good night, and sleep sweetly.
Whichever way it turns out Groovy I wish you well for the future. Sleep well.
that's what we're here for
nite
{{a goodnight hug for you Kiwi}}
Sleep well GK, we love you and will support you no matter what *hugs*
i still have the wisdom teeth too moon lol
sweet dreams kiwi
that explains all, dart
HUgs
of course you do dart that's why you're so brilliant
Never did get the wisdom teeth. Does that explain it?
lol
that was two years ago, and he now has regular colonoscopies and is on immunosuppressants for life. Has ongoing pain but this was something he had put down to irritable bowel for 10 yrs. We ALL need to get regular checks. Doctors orders. lol
I have most of my body except 2 teeth and a brain
yup Frances... means you are holding your stunning intelligence inside!
Lol, herin
at times I miss my brain
LOL
I think my brain is mostly in bed half the day
Wait a sec. *I* have mine too, but *I* am not darty. I sense a discrimination moment.
lol westford and lady
Oh I love you sprite. You do come up with some gems.
sunny can't they do anything for his pain?
I dont think so Frances. I have mine {{pout}}
love you right back, Frances :D
woof, with you, they are not enough to compensate ;)
but wait moon...you can probably read your own handwriting (cause youre not a lefty like someone here) and you can type really fast
I guess not. They'd have to be Uberwisdom teeth to make up for My brain {{sigh}}
I had to work really hard at that actually. I took drafting classes to help it lol
Sunny, one of my dearest, fittest friends is in a similar boat - its amazing what we can do esp under the guidance of great caring doctors
But I can draw a mostly straight line without a ruler. I just dont classify that as wise =P
so true, lynxxx!
dart my father was truly ambidextrous. He could hold a pen in each hand and write to the right with his right hand and backwards to the left with his left hand. They were a mirror image of each other.
woot Frances
wow, frances!
Frances did he start out left handed?
I bet that would have been Very cool to watch. Just once, tho, so I didnt get too depressed. =)
used to be they punished children for using their left hands so they had to learn to be right handed
true lynxxx. sorry rhe replies are so spaced, feeding the horde icecream. West, all they can give him is panadol or maybe a panalgesic. He needs to be aware of the severity and rate it because it could be a relapse . He is used to it now and only really notices the big sharpies.
I can do most things with both hands. Like screwing in a plug, spinning wool, needlework etc.
As far as I know he always used both hands for everything. Great party piece. It never failed to amaze me every time he did it.
but still kept their sinister ways
i am too....i can sharpen a pencil and turn on a drinking fountain and hold a beer with my right hand and my left does everything else :)
hehehe woof... off to the sin bin with you!
I'm a lefty! yay for us minority.
that's from Latin
my dad was a lefty forced to use his right hand -- but he played tennis left-handed
Lefty here, too.
I'm a lefty, played baseball and golf right handed
our second daughter is a lefty has to sit at the end of the table when we're all together
whayt?? i did not!!
you did, woof. You did.
my parents are both lefties and my sister and I are both righties
wow quite a few.....either gifted wordwise or cant get too sleep easily
Nice. I'm in another minority tonight LOL
I keep trying to practice using my left hand. You never know when you may need to do it for real.
never noticed you being a lefty at bridge, flosey, lol
yum..just remembered that I have picked my first passionfruit. Passionfruit & icecream for dinner, yay
woot lynxxx!
can we come over lynxxx? please??
hold cards in right hand
Yummu lyn. Enjoy.
i do that too flosey....and also sit at end of table when with righties
short, obnoxious AND a righty! Phht
sure Sunny, pop down
our family is quite mixed, mom from 4 and 4, our kids were 2 and 2
and we love you, woof :D
what flavor icecream sunny and may we all have some too?
who? you moon?
By the way has anyone seen saddy recently?
It seems so, Darty One.
PB for frances
She was here a night or two ago, Frances.
not recently, frances
She was on a few nights ago...with exciting news!
Saddy was on 2 days ago, Frances.

She ahsnt been on much per Doctors orders.
PB for sunny too
OOOOOPS. Thank you dart. Anything good in there?

Saddy is about
what is ice magic
only don't know ice magic
she told us she is expecting a little 'un, but has to rest a lot.
for sprite too lol
how nice for her
ice magic = chocolate syrup that goes rock hard
is this her first?
i'll eat mine in the PB then. Ice magic is a choc topping that sets hard on top if ice cream.
Wow. Would appear to be a creeping babble disease - pregnancy.
IceMagic is a choc setting that goes hard
my kind of treat
LIke the Hershys SHells
MAHN, ok, it's a good thing I Am small. It's getting crowded in here =P
not sure which word it was, but I'll go happily :D Great place, good food and wonderful company in the PB :D
sounds like wrest
I think so, westford, yes
Frances, *I* am immune to it. But it does seem so, that modern parasite thing =)
So you get it now?
OK. I'll see you in there sprite on my way to do the housework. Will be back later to try and finish. Bye, have a good day/night everyone.
bye Francea
Bye, Frances
cya frances

Ice Magic is our version of the Hersheys Toppings shell

lol poooof
hey all! i already greeted you all but i was away from desk :)
well, wb then =)
rehi and wb then
I greeted everyone last night and got booted
HI BFS
thought that might have been what happened to you
no i just said hello and had a look at my workload for today..
That seems a odd coincidence, west. Has that happened before?
no
I just got busy doing other things and never did get back
I'm using netscape and just heard it's going away
weird . Netscape is going away?
it belongs to AOL and they are just going to let it lapse
so said my husband
netscape was recommended for this game
Interesting. And it was. i saw that myself.
might try firefox or foxfire or whatever it's called.
firefox. Also recommended for this game.
I use IE 7 i get less errors especially with mamoth grids
i really like IE but can't get more that 3 or 4
I used firefox before expert and it worked ok for me, personally.
Macs won't allow it
thought you were using a Mac, indeed
Actually if you're on a mac, you should ask Fran. I think she said she uses something else.
I am but not with IE
netscape has the same engine as firefox, so i guess your using an old account, there are a lot of browsers out there though, SeaMonkey, Flock, Opera
Cant use IE 7 with macs? Also licketys babble expert is not mac comppatable
It wasnt Opera, thogh...
I can use licketys but I have to open another window
lol co8/9 combo. Certain of your pocket change and even more so.
Sea monkey. Thats what she said she uses, I think, thanx BF
haven't seen fran for a few days
She was here last night, but left a bit early, I thought.
But I know she's on a mac.
Aloha Babblers!
Speak of the minx!
Aloha Fran
Howdy Frannie!!
my ears were burning so i thought i should check in
hey Fran! :)
hi moon! hi pink!
hi fran your ears must have been burning
hi sprite!
I'll see what I can do about changing that to a gentle tingling, sorry lol
what server do you use for babble with your mac?
I'm using netscape and it's going away
server? or browser
well, bedtime and I have no blank tiles plus the 10.
browser
browser, fran
Night Jill
i use Safari
Congrats Jilli! Good job, and sweet dreams.
night jilli!
nice jill have a good night
woooot jilli, well done. Sleep well! *hug*
Well, I had the S right, I guess lol
oh good I have safari
actually use it for most things
west -- I used to use netscape and firefox is related -- will keep your bookmarks etc if you switch.
it works great for babble. i also use firefox
that's great to know
see woof, babble is starting to have its effect on your learning curve!
My mac friends tell me you can now run Windows on a mac -- if that is so can we run BabbleExpert via Windows?
Yeah! I remembered a letter in One Name!!
{{{sarcastic applause for me}}}
i was having some strange errors with firefox when switching between windows, so i use Safari for babble
Possibly, Jilli, I have a friend who's looking into that, herself.
*applauds woof too, but without the sarcasm*
I've heard that have to download something like Bootleg
yes, you can, but you have to purchase a copy of Windows to install on the mac. and only if you have the most current system
my husband and son would know
I'll get excited, sprite, when I remember one whole name without a mental jog from BF or someone else =P
they know everything
whatever turns you on, woof ;)
Well, now I'll really go to bed -- have fun all -- will be watching superTuesday tomorrow -- rather exciting!
Ok. then in the mean time we can play fo7 under the grid.
bye again, jilli! *hug*
Cya Jili!
night jilli! great cookbook, i wonder if Jac has seen it
*poof* xoxoxox
did you see my co8/9 clue, woof? Funny words!
cya jill
LOL fran -- she'll flip her wig
I've tried every combination and nothing works
I did. Ihad them, but they are pretty stoopid. I keep thinking "Quarter positive" lol
lol woof, that is funny too!
westford: for the co8/9 combo?
yes the pocket change one
West it's co** (metal change for a dollar) + I'm **** you'll get it so4.
metal piece of money + certain, and comparative
tyvm lol
stooopid words if you ask me. But you didn't ask me. But still.
Yup. I'm Quarter positive it's a stoopid word LOL
now if they started **ck, I would have heard the word before.
it should have a hyphen I think
i saw your clue sprite, thanks!
ooohhhh I am being dense. It is co - rest of the word. Now I get it.
i think it's co + what you have to do with your vehicle
yw Fran :)
but i like your definition/clue better! :-)
I like my version better LOL
so do I
But it is, if I werent in a mood.
*grins*
i was here at the flip, but left to do some work on hubby's new computer.
woot 7 more C words to find
glad to have you back, Fran
I missed the flip too, working. =P
we picked up an older iMac G5 for him from a friend of mine. only $200!!!
yay, found 2 i biggies! 3 even if we count the 8!
it's a couple years old, but still awesome
nice Fran!
yay sprite!
nice! My brother just got one too, a little cookie monster blue thing he says is fun
I like when new is cheap
wow fran good deal
that was the original iMac moon, those were really cute
back for a minute -- saw the remarks about the co8/9 -- my hubby was an insurance broker so I recognised it -- see http://tinyurl.com/2szwm5 -- not stupid words!
Thanx jilli
we finally figured it out jilli
lol jilli, I realised. And if you wouldn't be heading off to bed, I'd send you to the sin bin for that ;)
yeah, that's when you're covered by two plans and the two companies get to argue about who pays for what
my sin bin has a nice pillow, lol ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
*giggles*
Good night jilli!
ha! jilli is taking advantage of the fact that she's going to sleep to write words in the chat
I would love a proper IMAC for my music writing
*poof for sure*
hi jells!
pillows, good idea. has anyone mentioned it to mitch?
not yet, I think, woof. It is a great idea.
Hi Fran!
infernal, they are more expensive initially, but their useful life is much longer
nice herin are you a composer?
No more of a tinkerer
Fran Imacs are mentally expensive for the soft were as its not the norm
my mac does so many things I don't use like my brain
lol west
there are lots of free downloads and upgrades
hehe west
we have AppleTV it is awesome
cool
I so want an 80 gig pod
amazing what they can put it such a little thing isn't it?
YEs and i believe they one a Nobel Prize for nano tech
this is one of those grids that you just type words and don't even bother trying to figure out how they are there
two German scientists or one German and French?
and they probably did it just for fun
glad to hear i'm not the only one doing that Fran
indeed so, Fran, and it works perfectly!
hee
I have no idea West
I have reached the half way point so I'm going to try to get to sleep take care all
have a good night westford!
My B.f has a french back ground and he calls them a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys

That was it, Fran!
YEs driving me menta'

congrats sprite!
thnd all :)
I have some new flirts, sprite
yay Jellen! Inspiring ones?
Intriguing.
And she learned the word "twitterpated" yesterday =)
good!
grin, that is nice too. What does it mean?
One in from Norway, he's a teacher
twitterpated?
One is, that is
I would have figured you'd seen Bambi, SPrite...
Yup. Twitterpated.
Another is from France
sprite could you clue the di7 please
Twitterpated is what Bambi calls Thumper when he meets the girl bunny.
Another is from England
ahh, i don't remember that
It's the butterflies that shoot out of your stomach and up your spine feeling =)
What can I say. I'm young for my age LOL
ooh, that's good then
It is good, I think. A fun word for a fun feeling.
phantom: detritus
I am off for a bit bang on half way
pink, i don't have that one either, waiting for clue with you
di7: di + vowel + ceremonial action. Plural for the 8
Bye, herin
see you later infernal!
also, same word ending in a nervous habit for another 8
bye herin
thanks sprite!
bye lady I mean
di7 sounds like a bad di4 soda.
bye
hey! I take offense at that, woof :P
i found it fran di + vowel + alt spelling of the opposite word for wrong
thanks sprite! got all 3 words
bye Herin *hugs*
Well, it does, Sprite!
yw Fran!
Thanks, Sprite!
Like a soda that gives you the runs LOL
and pink!
tsk tsk tsk. No package yet, woof?

My opinion of diet sodas in general :-P
darn woof
ooh! nvm, found it
yes Fran
I was told that several people had been called to get their gazillion packages out of our way, but it hadnt happened by 5pm =(
Jellen, I totally agree!
Mine, too, Jellen. Bad soda =)
ok, any other calls for clues?
not for me, thanks!

*poof*
bye fran!
Goodbye, everybody. Limited brain function has ceased.
Aw. GNight Jellen. Have a good night's rest =)
bye jellen!!
bye jellen.
is this ship sinking by any chance? :)
Seems possible, but i'm going to keep bailing water anyway =)
did I ever say how much I intensely dislike 'i' words? The 8&9 after doctors are driving me insane!
I what?
the 8/9 combo after docs is doc + beta ****
and plural
what is after the I for both please
or doc + *** your head + vowel and plural
huh?
the *I* for both?
ooohhh. thankyou thankyou thankyou.
That one's still for the *I*8/9
i thought you had gone herin?
what i am so lost
Lurking
Have to babysit the boy to make shore that he goes to bed
the *I* 8/9 word combo = in + ***urn your books to the library + *** your head + vowel
ok but still huh
ok i got that but still 8 /0
8 9 even
the 8/9 after that one?
well i dontr have an in 89
the one I just clued is an In8/9
this grid is killing me!
no you didn moon
I really did.
in + ***urn your books to the library + *** your head + vowel
***urn that i dont get
do you have in6.18 just before it?
The early doctors?
That my dear is a nine
***urn = giving back the books to the library
doctors students, in training
no it doesn't work
well, and that's not the bast way to do that one. Correct Pink.
Whoo am I baffled, what is the *** your head? I think I've tried so many combos already
yes i get that but inretnoid is not a word
in8 = student doctors + a lymph ****
do you, moon or herin need help
if you agree with someone you *** your head
ME
*** your head is when you shake it up and down to indicate a Yes.
the def says it is a horizontal tie securing uprights together if that is any help
hum thats a nine people
hum thats a nine people \
what can i help you with herin?
which nine
sorry, wrong 9.
Isn't that reusing the n?
I have it i think
if there is two In 8s i have one
as the clues aren't right
in***national stardom + a lymph ****
Pink IM me the words please or must kill me now
Yes that is a NINE ffs
in8 you do this with a tampon (sorry for crudeness)
add a plural to your other 8 that ends in a mans neck***
All the clues are wrong and misleading in the chat and im going to have a smoke. I have a in 6 9 7 8 9 is that right
IM down herin
OK, got that one. Still mostly stumped though.
brb need a smoke
yes but there is a 6 and 8 combo - see clue at 4:40
The *I*s are as follows. WHICH *I* are you asking for? 4,5,6,7,5,4,4,6,8,5,6,7,5,6,9,7,8 ,9,4,4,6,7,6,4,4,4,4,6,4,5,5
I just hope Movieman doesn't appear right now. He got his nose bitten off yesterday, I would fear for his head today.
Perhaps if you could help me then I could give you the clue you're looking for.
Seems possible, haz. Although if he were to ask for all the tops, like normal, that would take a while, anyway.
herin is having a cigarette moon
I know. But now it's here for when she gets back.
oh, ok :)
thanks
Bit like car crash TV today can't believe 15min spent trying to clue a couple of words!
See? Herin, for you, messages earlier.
it appears i have them thank you and sorry about that
i looked at this as soon as i got up and thought there was 200 ish words, but i got to work and i just looked at the word stats, lol
There are lots of words to pick from tonight, Mitch, and I dont clue often, on purpose.
S'okay herin. I just felt bad it was confusing.
That is because he was rude Haz. I and others find it down right rude that he can't say Hi. Also if you were asked and here ever night when he entered and asked for all the 7 8 9 10s wtf youd be pissed off to. For a fact i was going to email him and apoligise. I was going to suggest that he goes back through the log before asking and being a bit more specific. I just got confused then as there was many clues for the same thing
Tolerance is a two way street.
With the larger grids that is sometimes over 15 words. Tonight that amount is 78s asked for so yes that spoils the fun ALOT.
I will stand up for movieman, he has asked the same question every time he babbles since he joined and we accept it as part of him. Your comments were uncalled for and rude.
We all have our own ways of tackling the grid. What if we were to object to you not using the last and asking for how many i words etc?
I would swear but i wont as that is juvenile so lets just say that due to the fact that the british itch 2 are on im going
*list
Yipeee
Haz there was many clues and your taking it out of context Also Mis Pot Kettle who gets so pisses about an icon grow up
My objection was the way you attacked Movieman out of the blue for something he has always done. It is possible to make a point without being aggressive.
It turns out that there was 2 in 8 / 9s so that was the confusion many clues. Haz and Fmitch you have both spoiled being in the chat for me and i loath when all you both. Haz as i said i was going to email him an apology and i did publicly apoligise to him last night.
Good morning all
Actually no i will be five at this moment in time and stay as i was here first so bollocks to the both of you
How is everyone doing?
Good morning everyone ... glides in cautiously ...
*says hi as cautiously*
Morning elder, it's safe c'mon in :)
Slips in behind Elder and Sprite with hardhat on...
hello FMitch ... ok... :)
perhaps being rude and calling names is not the best way to solve anything? People can ask for clues, and other people can refuse to give them if the asking irritates them for some reason.
hey Jac :)
feeling like summer here---strange weather
Hi sprite and Jacs,
FMitch, can we have an icecream maker in the PB? Icecream soothes all ills :)
Hi all, nice attempt at change of subject mom
I agree sprite. LOL good idea sunny :)
OH and thanks moon for NOT Saying anything COward
Hello. I'm writing this big grid down on paper so I can Babble, ir4 (nearly put the word then as only just opened Babble site!), and watch recorded TV.
oh FMitch, woof and I wanted to ask you for some pillows and stuff too! Perhaps even a bed, so jilli can lie down when she is really ti5 without having to leave us :)
woot Jac, that is some multitasking!
It's the morning here got my happy caffeine
HI All! I guess I really need to change my Icon now...
I am always pleased to see the sun, it gladdens your soul.. and raises ones spirits
lady, calm down a little. I think moonwoof is afk, she needed some food.
just don't ir** the paper Jac
Heavens sprite I am already working on 2 extensions to the PB how about I put up another hammock for now (got one already for BabbleRabble)
watching news--they may start a race war here tonight
lol redturtle, off to the PB with you!
Goes off to get cuppa and to feed cat. BBS.
Damn!
lol FMitch, ok... a hammock is great too.
I only have 6 words, do I get some sort of dispenstion....
hello again babblers the post man has brought, yet, more bills through my door...sprite your back

yeah, thought to peek in to see if anyone needed clues... but no one seemed to ;)
red, of course not! You got the word from it, that should be enough ;)

Hello Jellen.
Hi, Jac!
Good morning Babble buddies! I dropped a glass bowl of leftover salad (when I reached for something in the refrigerator) and just cleaned up the big mess in the kitchen.
I'm so tired I'm not sleepy.
Hi Scrabs...up early!!
HI Scrabbler. Did the bowl break? if not rabbit food
Hello Scrabbler and Jellen :)
Hi Scrabs - at least it wasn't a mirror
Hi, Scrabbler
hi Jac and Scrabbler.
You are a zombie now, Jellen.
That just about describes me all right.
Jellen - braiiiins
Hang in ther Jellen...
It wasn't salad for the bunnies--was leftover from weekend dinner.
Did you stay up all night, Jellen?
Yes, I'm still awake.
But did the bowl break and could your dropage be salvaged for the bunnies?
Are you hoping to enter a psychotic state from sleep deprivatio n, Jellen?
That's my goal, Scrabbler!
I could've done with that salad, Scrabbs. I've got to make on later.
The longest i haven't slept for is 48 hours
Hello sunny.
*make one
Lady, yes, it broke in numerous pieces. There were tomatoes and greens, but just a small amt. I keep the bunnies' greens in the original plastic bags, then make their salads in pie tins.
drat Scrabbler that is so annoying. Maybe plastic for you too is the way to go
I'll sleep pretty soon. Then the challenge will be to get myself out of the house to vote.
Hi Sunny
Think I'll make a fruit salad, too, to make up for us having chocolate sponge pudding and cream last night. *guilty smile*
I am a registered Independent and have never changed it. So I cannot vote in primaries.
I love fruit salad...
Scrabbler does that mean you can only vote on the big day?
Darn it this grid is sooo big.
Chocolate sponge pudding sounds intriguing.
Yes, Lady. I chose to be Independent because I didn't want any party to hassle me and because I don't know what Republican and Democrat really respresent anyway....and it looks like the canididates don't either.
Jacula, is that like chocolate mousse, which I love!!
anyone care to chuck me a clue for the 10 before I toddle off to the moviehouse?
OK Interesting i never understood the thing
I can't tell you how many phone calls I've received this week from both parties.
Movie man are you on face book?
good morning Babblers
What movie are you seeing, MM?
bye bye babblers be back later on, shopping is calling
Hey movie, whats on at the cinema today?
I'm afraid not, herin
Cloverfield
Movie, unfortunately I do not have the ten...
Hi, Nono
Scrabbs, no. It's a chocolate sponge made in a bowl with either chocolate on top or chocolate in the middle that oozes out when you break it open.
I don't understand politics either---seems like theatre and gamesmanship more than anything else.
looks like a meaty grid today so I am going to dive right in.....splash!
Go Nanette go!
That has had good reviews and looks v interesting, will await your critique mm.
de9 = de + eat well for proper nu*******
de 10 plural of the 9 means to wear away by friction
Hope I don't get a bad migraine afterwards.....or worse!!!!!
MM my 23 yo daughter loved, loved loverfield - so much so saw it twice in a row (same night)
New word for me.TY.
hello friends!
I forget what the movie is about?
loverfield? sounds like a whole different movie there lynxxx :)
Hi MRP!
Hi, mrp
Good morning Mr P, movieman, scrabbler, herin and everyone else.
mrp! how are you?
Hi Mr P!
Drat. Movieman i wish to apoligise to you for last nights rudeness towards you. Can i make a big suggestion to you when you do have time to do the grid have a look through the view entire chat for the words if its a massive one like this one. You may find heaps of hints
s
Hi MRP!
looked so good FM I didn't think I would correct it lol
hi MrP
Scrabbs - gozilla-like monster trashes NYC, I think. (The film.)
Hi,, ch1212
It's Godzilla meets YouTube......
hey ch1212 and nononanette also.
Oh, I don't like those sci fi/superhero movies--just not plausible.
Apology accepted, herin
I saw a ridiculous story in the newspaper yesterday about people walking out of the cinema and complaining etc., when they went to see 'Sweeney Todd' because they hadn't realised that it's a musical. What planet are they on??
Movieman...did you like Sweeney Todd?
Movie take lots of popcorn and go in a group movie sounds fun
Didn't the film co launch it's clips on YouTube?
Jac someone slept through the previews?
I wait til movies are on DVD. I don't like being in a theatre anymore--too overstimulating for me and too many rude creatures.
but Jac, it is advertised as a musical isn't it?? don't people read reviews?
Exactly, sunny!
Hi, MrP.
I always go to matinees Scrabs, much easier then, during the wweek, but thats hard to do with your schedule...
I needed you guys tonight
A reviewer said that Dark Night was a miss title as it had nothing to do with Batman. I think i slapped my self in the head for that
How so, mrp?
Whats Up Mr P?
Mr Pres (Concerned face)
We are here for you, mrp. What's going on?
past tense MRP? you solved it?
whats up MrP
how can we help?
:( today... car accident, very upset and shaken and cried... I am fine now, but was freaked out by just how close I came to losing my arm
Team MRP = ready for action!
Mr Pres ???
Oh No Mr P.
omg MrP so glad your ok hun
Oh! How frightening!
OMG! Big group hugs for Mr P {{{{{{{ }}}}}}}
Yikes!! ((MRP)) It will take a few days to recover from this!!
Oh How awful. Lots of hugs, *goes to brew up some nice tea*
((((((MrP))))) I know how frightening that can be
{{{{{{{{ }}}}}}}}} double scotch for mrp
OMG indeed MRP - what a scarey thing to happen
I am still in shock... it is surreal now, but thank god I wasn't any further into the intersection... I was only doing 5km but the car hit me doing 70km...., on my driver side
But you're all okay and unhurt physically?
were you alone or with the family?
Oh Mr. P. How is the arm?
70 kmh---fast!!
it destroyed the whole front of my car.... had just dropped off the kids
Thank goodness they weren't there.
So very sorry , mrp... but so very happy you are unharmed!
Mr PRes im glad you are ok. That is so scary for you. Also hope you have car insurance?
i was not hurt cause i didn't get impacted to the body... but SHIT it was close!
It is time for a prayer of gratitude!! Your guardian angel protected you!
I'm with Scrabbs on that one!
You obviously had a 'safe' car, thank goodness!
if I did, it would have shattered my arm and I would have lost it... not to mention other things... I am just thankful and grateful that god looked out for me
so glad you are ok.
herin, can you drive in Aus without car ins?
Well, gotta go, the moviehouse awaits!!!!!
YEs Red you can
Bye, mm
Have fun, MM!
Hve a nice time Moovie...
I am glad you are o.k. so often life is a matter of inches.
Enjoy mm
Mr Pres thank goodness someone was looking out for you. At least its just a car.
Legally?wow. I am really glad you are ok Mr P..
MrP so glad you are alright.
Your system has had a real shock. Your muscles may be pretty sore for the next couple days. Please be gentle with yourself and nurtured. Wish we were all there to make you tea and give you hugs.
Yep
you can drive without comprehensive insurance, but not without compulsary third party insurance, worth $20 million
that amazes me.
Ahh, so that makes more sense Mr P...
What about the other driver? OK?
he was fine... he was upset at first, but I apologised and begged for forgiveness
so you weren't supposed to be in the intersection?
Mr it seems as if it was his fault?
Why did you apologise?
FM - I was wondering that.
it wasn't his fault... it was a chain reaction that forced me into the intersection, I was blind sided by a massive 4WD and I moved forward into fast moving traffic
Oh double yuck, mr p. What a horrible day. I am so sorry.
so you were hit by 2 cars?
Ahhh, gosh it soulds like it could have been a very nasty incident all round.
Grabs Mr PRes and tightly hugs her very gently
and haven't we all cursed the 4WDs for exactly the same thing...glad their drivers can see
Then it really could have been worse if multiple cars had been involved.
fmitch, red, it was my fault, but it was an accident!! it was foggy and raining and the road was very wet, he couldn't avoid hitting me otherwise he would have had to veer into oncoming traffic (there was a concrete island in the middle of the road...) his car would have flipped
could i please have a clue 4 the no4/4 and the pural please
Oh thats what i had to ask MR PRes. You aren't to swamped there at the moment? i heard the rain was swampie
I just missed the second car... it was so so scary
(((MrP)))
Scary, scary situation! One that you review in your head. I had to slam my brakes the other night to avoid hitting a deer.
Well, it seems that it was a complete accident caused by the weather and the fast traffic and there really weren't a lot of options. But I am still so glad to hear yu and everyone is alright...
this happened 12 hours ago, and only now I am able to chat about it without crying.... I had to ring lickety and I could barely talk. I then called a friend and she came to get me and took care of me all day.
Cool - midday
It's over and you're safe! This will be a distant memory soon.
yes, a complete accident... I was being over cautious and ended up in strife. Thank you all for your kind words, prayers and support!!
its the 5 after the french sounding 4
I am glad you had a friend to help you.
Cool - no4.4 midday
One no4 = opp of midnight
i have that one its the first 5 letter word im after
Anyone see Carlee in the last few days? I have not and hope she is OK.

Haha, Jacula.

'Bye Scrabbs.
Bye, Scrabbler

Hi, Uniquity
Hi uniquity
tackle hugs the Uni and steals a tin hat from her
No way, Jose...my tinfoil hats are not for stealing **takes it back and puts in bullet proof safe**
ok make me one then please/
LOL Hi Uni
I need a tin hat, and some sleep. I just got very angry at a secretary who was very very rude, but in the end, the problem was somewhat my own fault. Still, she doesn't need to be so aggressively wierd, but then again, it was essentially my mistake...
Grrr.
Have no fear people, it involved a piece of missing paperwork, not actual care of anyone.
Red turtle head, I am on your side as I know you....Hopefully you can go home soon?
Hi mama FMitch!!! I've missed you...I heard things. Awful, nasty things. ;)
calm calm Red deep breathes
There there Uni dear, I'm here.
red, the masseuse in the PB is free if you want to pop in for 1/2 an hour?
at 7. In a few hours. It was my fault, but she is odd. and I have 2 more nights. I am going running after which should improve me... Thank yu all, for listening to my semi-rant.
would you like me to drop another word??
No, you just go on in and relax :)
I'm stuck at 178...
TY Fmitch. I hate paperwork.
ty lynxx
I just started and have two words...I am in trouble here!
this board just seems to go on and on
Go Uni Go Uni Go Uni!!!
Uni, thats 2 more than I have.
ruin
oops
Good bye, all. Happy Babbling!
well i found those nymphs this time, anyway, so that's something.
Later Jellen hi Hush

'Bye Jellen.

Hello! sounds lovely. Will be eating yogurt now...
G'd morning to my functionally dysfunctional Babble family!
Yay Jacula!!!
ROFLOL at your ic4, Lori.
Ditto what JAcs just said, what a hoot!
Lori I love you ic4....
LOL Jacula, it's my "go to" ic4, when I'm too lazy to follow the theme. :-)
whats this theme i hear you speak of?
FM - I think that ic4 deserves a place in your PB pic.
what is the theme today, though I will have no time to change.
Red - cookery books. Not sure about what Ata's discussion was that sparked it though.
good morning Lori
I ahve 119 words, so that's close, right?
whats the idea behind a theme?
GoWilyes JAcs, will have a go but not sur ehow clrear it will come up on printing.
Ah well, then my recipe can stay, I am not a big cook book fan, so this is perfect!!
I don't have a cookbook...I make my stuff from imagination
bf, it's suggested by posters, for fun and variety. I'm just lazy today
so the icons should match a theme?
how many calories do you imagine eating?
If your heart desires bf. We don't send Vinnie and Guido after you for not complying or anything......
if you go to licketys page bf, you will see a link on the right hand side for the ic4 clues.
themes, errr.
HI BR!!! Calories, I am a 1200 kinda girl.

Calories...pah. Since I have never even thought of counting them or following guidelines, i am sure it is a lot.
Calories is a 4 letter word, I believe.
I <3 calories

hiya EvaN!!!
allo nut!

peachy-keen. :) you?
peachy-keen cause i got to sleep in, not so keen cause it means we gots to go to the dr.
well, yay for the sleeping-in!
ill get to do that on friday. :)
yes, tis always a bonus, specially since i was up late cause i couldn't sleep
i hope you have fun on your friday, sleeping in that is
i had trouble sleeping too, nut
sounds like it all evened itself out, then. :)
dc - a new icon! wow
and whats the dr appt for? nothing serious, i hope?
eh, always serious here
things ok?
doncha love when you accidentally type a word wrong, and its a word too!
things are plodding along evan, and thats more than i should expect, so i'll be happy
hello folks
i do, nut
oh, and make sure you listen to babblecast cause stidder did it by herself and i think she should get some fan mail
i feel like i missed something... is there a health issue? with you? family?
well, my husband has *whispers* the 'c' word
oh dear, im sorry to hear
hows the prognosis?
well it sucks now, but it has served us well over the last six years
prognosis has stepped out onto a greasy downhill slope
well, best wishes and good luck vibes are headed your way...
so sorry to hear that nut. best wishes to you both.
great, i love that car, will they stope before they hit me?
heh, good to see youve still got your sense of humor. ;)
course i do, i can't shake it, someone duct taped it to my ass
i probably wouldnt even KNOW if someone taped something to MY arse...
well, you see, when you twist, it pulls on those little butt baby hairs, and hurts
did a little shopping trip this weekend + was highly disappointed to discover what size i am now... made only minor investments (IE, having enough pants to wear to work) but am totally planning on re-starting the workout process now!
oops, supposed to wake the hubby up
EvaN, find out what day the thrift stores get their shipments and go in then, you'll make out like a bandit
i WAS at least smart enough to hit up ross, tj maxx, marshalls + filenes (who are having a HUGE sale right now)
i think i spent maybe $150 total and got 7 pairs of pants and 3 tops
sounds like you did some good shopping Eva
Dang - where did you shop?
oops - now I see.
cadfan, see the previous post. ;)
hehe
you have to be in the right mood to shop at thos eplaces, but some of the pants i got were calvin klein, limited, NY & co...
just needed enough clothing to get me through this heavier period, until my workouts finally get me back into my old pants. :)
i always get brand names there, and nearly always brand new
yeah, it can be exhausting, but some of the nicest clothes i have came from those stores...
i think the most expensive thing i bought was a $25 shirt, but its BCBG, so it probably cost almost $100 originally!
mine was 20, brandnew faux fur winter coat, some drunk b*tch puked on it
really? at the thrift store?
no, at a weddng
2nd fave is my ny jean jacket, brand new again and 7 buckaroos
lol, i meant, did you get it at a thrift store?
oh, yes ma'am, i did
cool, ill have to find a few around here!
way cute icon evaN!!!!
yep, and then make nice nice with the people that work there, and then you'll find out when they get deliveries
thanks deb
we have lots of thrift stores here, but usually just used stuff in them.
ahh, good to know!
no i meant evanonut:) hee hee
but the Joy of Cooking is nice too:)
here, thrift stores are full of nearly-new high-end goods mostly.
we have "consignment shops" here, so usually the stuff is higher-end and not quite so old/worn

hello, ata
Hi Hazel
hi ata, spellit et al..
Hello Atalante - home again or not?
haz, thanks for your email! :) much love to you
hi haz
hi ata!!
And to you mrp!
Hello MLF.
Spellit, how are you doing? I haven't seen you around so much.
so glad you're okay mrp
Hey Ata!!
I've been here Hazel not saying much. I'm oK but finding it hard to be alone after 43 years. Getting there very slowly
not quite. C's in hospital so I'm staying up here until she gets out
I'm now looking after a sad spaniel too
hahaha, it is 3.30am... i think I am having a little post traumatic syndrome... my doc said that might happen for a few days... lucky I have you guys!! :)
(((((spellit)))))
Atalante is C your sister?
It's understandable, spellit, it takes time. I'm glad you still enjoy babble and it's good that you don't have to talk if you don't want to.
Hi Peri
hi peri! :)
yup, she's always ill, she's just very ill this time
sorry to hear that Ata
Oh Ata, I am sorry to hear...I didn't know
I need things to occupy myself so Babble is great. Sitting around just thinking leads to tears
well I have found 180 words no list yet, taking a break. bbs
I'm used to her being ill, but now I have a spaniel with 3 stitches in her paw. NOT HObbit, but C's springer spaniel Willow
I know, spellit, I'm glad it helps. You've got plenty of words today - this must be the biggest for a long time.
ty for the ce 6 and 7 i had to scroll back to get it as i missed it lol
I have angels to get up in 4 hours... I love you babble friends but must make an attempt to sleep. I will see you again in my late hours soon! love and kisses! xxooxxoo
ciao, mrp, may that you sleep soundly
Night night, mrp - sleep well. Bags under eyes is SO last year.
hi mr. p! and all!
bye all *poof*
hi owl
Hello TO.
clue for the other ce 7 please
hi, TO
Haz you mean i have to get rid of the bags under my eyes this year cause i am so not with it??
is this a stinker, or just an endurance challenge?
ow you mean the grid today?
owl
yes ml
yes, TO
its stinker
Its an endurance test with the occasional wide ball. Afternoon all
Sorry, was grid engrossed. Not a stinker. But then again I haven't quite finished so maybe I'll change my opinion.
howdy, Fmitch.
good morning all. niiiiice puzzle today
Good afternoon, FMitch.
brb, gonna throw some laundry in and pop some cookies in the oven.
do you think I should start the grid?
Why Mr dc you good looking thing you :) Afternoon Haz and ata
no ata
i wouldn't, ata
Yes ata.
once you start you'll wish you hadn't
hey mitch! pardon if not greeting all individually, lunch not officially begun, not openin full screen view
Now, make your mind up. Do you care about rankings? Or do you just feel like a good word search?
lol pink
lol ok that's 2 for no and 1 for yes. Are you just trying to make me a little masochistic, Haz?
WE'LL TALK LOUDLY TO GET YOU IN TROUBLE, TO!
DO it Ata!! DOOO it
my rankings are constantly screwed anyway, because of the days and weeks I'm up here that I can't babble!
but it is sooooo wonderful when it stops
no worries TO, im lurking anyway!
It's just that big grids are so much fun to begin with. The frenzy of it all.
Oh! OH! I am halfway finally!
*give Uni 1/2 a medal*
ha hahahaha pipe down you lot
ha hahahaha pipe down you lot
You see? That only took Uniquity ten or fifteen minutes.
oh I guess I might as well
*smug*
Sorry, I am engrossed in this awful challenge that is destroying my reading of Rousseau
Haz I've got myself a new theme tune, it's by Elton John
ata i started last night and i hve found 134 words some with help but not that many yet
And the title of the Theme tune?
Urgh Uni, just finished a brief forray into Rousseau and did not enjoy so much
*The B***ch is Back*
I must be one of the few ppl who finish *nearly* every puzzle they play but has a rubbish rubbish ranking LOL. do I care? nope!
Ah! Though technically we're the two itches.
oh yes, I must read back about that
Could we be the source of the flea problem in Ata's sheets?
Oh, we're gonna go there, are we?
Have we sent our itchiness through the internet?
Are you the itch we just can't get rid of? :)
We can share it. That and the cream for those nasty itches :)
Uniquity really does need to get working on the tinfoil business.
I have to hide the tinfoil, lest my hat be stolen aagain as it was this morning...
other ce 7 ends in either another word for religious services or musical marks on staffs
I'll put a lockable cupboard in the PB for you
aha! so i can blame FM for the invisible fleas? excellent!
Yes, indeed. She is itch 1.
I am itch 2. Very much the deputy.
Ah well I was going to fess up eventually to that.
I shot the sheriff? But I did not shoot the deputy?
Bullet proof vest. And you're a rotten shot.
I blame FMitch for the business of the day an the bigness of the grid :(
pooo. if i was at home normally i could have been itch the third
Anyone got a clue for the re6/18 that comes before the word meaning fastens again? Hi everyone
All this blame is making me fat!
ata, you have fleas?
oh, be ce(6) people [ha ha]
No fleas on Ata.
hydra the person who re4/4
no no NO! LOL my husband *thinks* our sheets have fleas. they dont
Hello hydra.
and an offical hello to all!
Yay hello TO
hi hydra!
AH! You can speak freely now, TO. Official hello to you as well.
omg 16 i words??!
and hydra re6/18 to take an exam again
it's an anagram of it hydra - plan where you're putting up the building again
is there are co7/32, why can't there be ier and iest
and omg 21 words of 8
ata has co7/32?
ooh, thanks for that re6 FM
that is supposed to be "if"
Hi lil! Hi Haz. Thanks, pab, but It won't let me have that one. There must be something else. It's the word that follows the re4/4 meaning pierced plate on an astrolabe!
yes pab right after the co9
37 left. Don't think I'll finish. I haven't done much work today.
hydra that close you can't not finish!
I won't finish if I don't find that re6/18. It's my last re word.
I clued you one at 10.43 was that not the one you need?
re + an exam hydra
Back for a bit. Waiting on service people to show up.
Oh, thanks so much. FMitch, I totally missed your clue. A million thanx!
hi judi
lol yw
Hello Judi.
As long as I'm here, I might as well torture myself. What does the tenner start with?
de10/77
de 10
I was afraid of that.
It might have been re.
ah, a prefix is involved
Yes and no. In fact, no.
Can you tell I'm sitting on a fence?
it means erosion, but I kept wanting to put an n in 3rd position
ty haz.
Bit hard to see from here
i want detritus
de + nu*******al value, on the back of cereal boxes
that can be arranged Ata
I want detrious. As if I'm not surrounded by it in my household already.
We can arrange anything. Fleas, itches, you name it.
oh well, i was nearly there lol
many ion words today?
A fair few, TO.
There's a round, smelly one, TO.
o.0
hi all....Judi..just came on and that's the first word I (thought I) saw
sounds unpleasant
That's no way to talk about a babbler, Judi.
to of 329 words, 11 contain that, but not all at end
Heavens. I meant a word not a fellow Babbler. Don't know about you, but I can't detect cyber smells.
Nice strats nDan
*stats
Cyber smells? Surely not!
Apropos to nothing, hubby was working up in the attic last night - had the ladder in the hallway to the attic access. Our cat, Norman, decided he wanted to climb the ladder to see what daddy was doing!
And what happened?
he climbed the stairs, cats are clever
icon test
Fortunately, he couldn't get into the attic, but he looked pretty silly sitting on top of the 8 foot ladder.
pb krista
Krista straight to the PB with you on 2 counts
He did that out in the garage once too - got on top of the opened garage door. Hence his nickname..."monkey boy".
oh no way
So, did he come down by himself or did he take a flying leap?
nien
vacuumed 2nd and 3rd floors, put laundry in, fed cats, cookies ready in 5. :) I'm back
He mosied down after mommy took a few digital pics of him. Another day another photo op.
I'm amazing.
sorry
brb
several have made that mistake today krista, btw your MIL has sense of humor
Good for Norman!
You're downright domestic today, Seain. **checks post very carefully before hitting send**
No, I'm the one with the sense of humor..she was serious about it! lol
i opine that common chat words like ic4 ought be ignored, though i totally see the oher POV.
good morning all -- this one is going to be too big for me to finish today!
FM has had so much fun making the PB, she's intent on getting it put to good use.
Good morning cybernan.
yeah it is,n an; i wush i'd not started.-
hi cybernan!
Wush?
25 left!
I can't build to keep up, although having said that tomorrow I will be launching a new add on
wish
many a typo in that post.
Can't wait for the addition, FMitch.
168 to go *sigh*
I don't think I've made it to FM's PB but it's not for lack of trying lately. ;)
Soldier on, TO. I have 176 left.
Its a funny one but small Haz as the garden is taking a long time to landscape *grin*
U have a day off Seain?
fresh Choc Chip cookies in PB! help urself
yes, though class tonight, so i should review at some point
icon
and i need to go to Leesurg to get a smaller wrist brace
but need laundry done so i can dress :)
I read that as 'small Haz is in the garden' and mental images of a little statue came to mind.
Come on in, Owl!
: )
Which class is it tonight dc? lol Haz
still the wrist problem? sorry to hear that
I could make you into a gnome like lills if you like? or not.
NOT!
yes, will go to doctor soon; i think an anti-inflammatory stronger than ibuprofen will help it heal. and i'm doing the stretches that help it .
ROFL
there could be a statuary annex with half-size marbles of us all :) in the garden
I'd be a clothed statue. Gok Wan can talk all he likes, but I reckon a bit of covering up is a good thing at my age.
i've got CTS..Babble aggravates the heck out of it
haz you'd make a swell gnome. however, about the pose....
Oh that would be interesting dc
I'd want to be in there as my Crabby ic**...though I haven't used him in ages
praise ELvis, no CTS for me so far. the de quervain's is bad enough; i can't play my violin nor accordion with it
Once I have the basics of the garden done I will put it on flickr and would appreciate everyones ideas., same goes for the one I will put up tomorrow.
cool, Fmitch, will do :)
put in a fountain so we can throw in coins to pay you for your efforts
Gosh, this is getting to be more interesting than finding words. Wondering about the PB Annexe and Horticultural Experience, I mean.
a fountain a la Bartholdi would be lovely
It could turn into a theme park.
does anyone remember a time when the long words were cued?
**looking up de quervain**
not off hand, TO, it's been erratic
You mean in the log, TO? I wasn't around much today. I have some of them.
Krista said another word!
oy vey
several other words build in the word she said, RE words, specifically.
yes, haz. i fear my home pc will not take this load, trying to finish today. no list, os course
and the co 8 & 9 and following 7
how about...they only count as pb words if they are over a ceratin point value
(thought I'd try)
Nice try but dont dawdle off you go* gently guides Krista towards the PB*
warm cookies in the PB!
TO - some of the 8's are either comparatives or superlatives.
co 8 & 9 build from the metal money?
co9 company you use to be certain your losses are covered
I'll go willingly for cookies.
hello everyone
Hello peri. I'm sure you're doing this in stages.
wb peri!!
hello Peri! watch what you type
wb, peri
hi peri!
100 down
I am listening to Cat Stevens, when he was still Cat Stevens and drinking decaf Chai Tea by Celestial Seasons.
why Krista?
I always do large grids in stages
That was fast cnan wtg
krista has incidentally typed some words in the chat.
Krista is miffed as she has managed to type about 1/2 a doz grid words into the chat, poor thing.
Grid is rife with PB words! (love Cat Stevens..not so fond of Yussef or whatever)
Not miffed...loving these cookies.
co 9 extremely like a pig's best known feature
that was sn 9; don't know where the co came from
~ ~ * * ~ ~ !!Fireworks!!~ ~ * * ~ ~, finally!!!

Weeeee, congrats pink.
YAY for pink!
phantom surfeit
heck if there's a mous ein the pb, someone save the cookies!
No, both gone
LOL TO, i am exhausted. must start dinner. will try to come back on, before mum hijacks the laptop. Happy babbling and good luck in the grid!!
there are also lots of words used to call pigs today
if you make the other sound for the first letter
ciao, pink!
later pink
hi all, back for 174 more words!!!!
hey red!
hi, red; istill have 209
I meant to ask you, TO..did u have fun rubbing it in at work after the Super Bowl?
Hi Ms. Red
I just have to go to bed soon...but a lot going on...and we have a ton of snow.
Everyone so quiet. Do I have co*****?
well my boss has no voice left. he claims it's from a party on sat night. and today they all began talking about college bball. so no, i thought the better of it
no Krista but thanks for the clue
TY Krista for that helpful clue.
I don't think of NM as getting much snow..is that unusual?...yw Peri :)
Sounds like they were avoiding the subject, TO!
I am up north in the mountains, I'm not sure if its unusual of not, but it is a lot...
gee i wish i had never begun this one.

Hello caitlyn
Hello caitlyn.

Haz, males and females both have ur6
Hi caitlyn!
Peri, that made the clue make sense thanks!
You're right, peri.
hi, caitlyn
i learned to drive in snow; advantage of a Feb birthday.
i have to do my "organic food co-op" pickup today..at least it's not raining
Oh another birthday party? When is dc?
just read a lovely book: Lost and Found by Jacqueline Sheehan. It is about love, loss and moving on with lots of help from a dog>
true, cloudy, no rain :)
when is your birthday, dc?
can drive on snow, but I am not very good when the visibility is decreased...
Yikes...it actually IS raining. Darn.
the 8th.
i have co, de, in9x2, and sn in the 9's, what 9 am I missing please
i wish the i words werec lued...i am finding many phantoms
bummer, it's not raining here in Reston right now; it was this AM though
ok, lots of really nice people born in Feb here on Babble
My Moms is the eighth...shes pretty cool , so you must also be...
slow is the key to snow/ice
LOL red
Same day as EvaN, will prep BIG birthday cake
What a mess. I am getting a cold now I have to help unload a refrigerated truck in the rain. Fudge.
oh! must call sister; hers is today. for 3 days we're only 2 yrs apart
aha, cake on friday! yay!
thought Eva's birthday was on Sat
Yes, I thought so too, Peri.
te9 - people who follow high male singers
I feel terible about something I did today....when shopping I normally buy 6 bottles of lemonade for the kiddies..I normaly give one to the cashier and thescans the correct amount.Today I was talking and forgot to do that and didnt realise until I left the shop...and didnt go back...so now I am a thief!!
thanks nDanLia
I have a question about an online game
FMitch -set up a gallows in the PB!
wouldn
Oh you are going to laugh, it is EvaNs on Saturday it's my BF on Friday.
caitlyn - have you rung the shop to let them know what's happened?
it was unintentional caitlyn...
this coming Friday, Fmitch?
No Haz
yes
it was not done on purpose, cait
I knew the date was ingrained in my memory for somer eason!
Has anybody ever played the online game called Azada?
in my family ,at one point, we had at least one birthday each of the 1st 14 days of Feb.
i have not, mlf
Just tell them next time you go, Caitlyn. They will look at you like you are crazy for being honest (been there, do** that)
cait, things sometimes happen. was it a great deal of money?
I wouldn't worry about it cait
No TO about £2.50
Maybe you should, just to let them know you have made a mistake. I only say this because my daughter was once traced by CCTV for allegedly talking a lemonade bottle. She had the receipt for it, but policemen on your door isn't pleasant....
ty dc
DC How is the weather there today?
Haz the policeman would be my son!!
I'll make you a cake, FM, buy you'll have to come in** the penalty box to eat it. ;)
eh, things like that happen caitlyn; i'd not worry of it.
it's in the mid-50sF here
Wouldn't that be a hoot? 'Come with me, mother, we have a nice cell for you'
cloudy, periodic light rain.
interesting. but sometimes it causes more trouble to rectify after the fact, here. sometimes they mis charge you, too. it evens out
that has happened to me too cait, I have been overcharged at the same store so it evens out IMO
dc oh getting rain huh we did here yesterday
Ooh thank you Krista
snap, peri!
i think its about the same temp here as it is there
yeah, we did yesterday and Sunday, too. we need the rain though, still a deficeit from last year.
mlf, i forget, you're where?
DC yeah we arent on any serious water situation thankfully and havent been but we need more as far as i know
Right thanks all....I will have to try and live with it now,but be aware in future....I told you i hate shopping
dc I am in NC about an hour from charlotte
in 6/18 is what there are alot of in Washington;
oh, okay.
We'll just call you Cool Hand Caitlyn from now on.
150 words left to find, bbs
LOL Haz
ciao, peri
bye peri
bye peri
in 5/10 is what you do with a dead body; also appears with re & co prefices
Ha ha
but dc i used to live in Va hence why i asked about the weather there
But please. No hard-boiled eggs.
cool, mlf. NC seems like a nice place
No hard-boiled eggs?
but what of deviled eggs and egg salad?
Last week, the cashier left in the middle of my order (??) and the new girl scanned most of the next person's groceries with mine. They took items off my order, but missed a few. I just gave them to her. When I got to the car, I found her roasted chicken but didn't feel like going back to find her, took it home, and ate it. I felt guilty even tho I paid for it and some of her other food!
There's a famous scene in Cool Hand Luke where he eats huge numbers of boiled eggs.
would rather be in a city here in NC though
in 6/21 is a rabble rouser; they get a crowd vocal
Oh yes of course
ty dan
i hate hard boiled eggs.
Just as well you didn't land that role in the film then :)
I suppose it happens a lot Krista.. I love egg sandwiches with on6/18
ir 6/21 anyone

Oh sorry katie..

Hi, katieW!
Cloverfield was absolutely brilliant.....A little scary in places and VERY suspenseful
good morning all back to plod on i am lol
Hey there, Kiwi... dive in!
(((Groovy))) how lovely to see you.
*accepts toddy gratefully* thanks. I shan't worry, but would like to at least get half today
hello kiwi
di 8 [other] think of pill you use to get water out of your body, but change 3rd letter to 2nd vowel
Hi Groovy
im so glad today is a public holiday and i can spend the time on this otherwise i would never have even attempted it
stidy you will be able to achieve that without a doubt
good clue, ndan, though it made my think of Evita :)
why do you have a holiday kiwi?
today is Waitangi Day - similar to your 4th July
very cool! will you get REAL fireworks then?
it is when the treaty of waitangi was signed between the british and the maori way back when
and we became a british colony
oh! found the french mister by myself this time!
si8 please
nah no fireworks - for most its just another day off
always forget how to spell that stid.. Happy Waitangi Day, Groovy!
so in a way, our fourth un-celebrates your Waitangi? LOL
pt of the 6 pab
pab si8 is the past tense of the 6
Happy Waitanti Day, Australians!!
okay, guess i need that si6 then, will look
hm need a 6 to get the 8... *looking*
Er, New Zealanders!!
s + that dead body word
sorry pab, didn't find the i from the third row. more help?
um, Scarlet? Maori are New Zealand...
thanks nDan
Yep... all fixed, stid.
LOL (((scarlet)))
ty, ndan!
gasp! the sun peeked out
Too grid-challenged to use my brain on chat, stid... LOL
and the sky is bright, if still cloudy
woo-hoo for the sun! all we have is wind and rain today
oh great, wind and dark clouds
i spoke MUCH too soon :D LOL
Is the toddy working stid?
need the si8 but can't see the si6
I think it may be caitlyn... *feeling tired*
i just hung up on somebody. on purpose. :O i am horrified at myself. but what else can you do when you repeatedly tell a telemarketer you're not interested and she keeps talking and talking and you can't get another word in edgewise?
io 6.18 -- charged particle and an owl is thought to be w***
go hurshy go
I hang up too hursh
good job hurshy!
I ask to speak to the person's supervisor. Very sweetly, very insistently.
si6 rhymes with a cold time of the year, peri
hursh, I just say "Have a nice day, goodbye" and close the connection.
it takes up everyone's time, but it gets me off their list!
Say, excuse me, take me off the list
I say , not intersted and hang up
i'm going to bathe and go run an errand, bbl {poof}
i just don't understand. when someone says not interested, and you keep pushing it, do they not realize, you are more likely to note down: DO NOT buy from this company, they are annoying.
ooh! good clue Aloyisius!
thanks BabbleRabble
We are supposed to be on the national "Do Not Call" list, but someone always manages to find us...
(-: glad you got it, stid.. wonder if peri saw it?
thanks Aloy
this is at work, so, i don't think there is a do not call.
any other help for the di 8...
later seain
hurshy - ask them for their home number & hwat time they sleep
I had a row with someone on the doorstep the other day, honestly I always try a polite no thank you first but he wouldn't take no for an answer
hurshy I know what you mean..someone keeps phoning me to say that they think I have had an accident in the last 3 years and do I want to claim..I keep telling them to go away but it doesnt seem to work the next time I will teach them some olde English words
i was polite THREE times to her, and so finally i just gave up.
LOL caitlyn! just yesterday I asked the stidkid (#2) to not put so much saxon in his "anglish" -- it worked!
di 8 --- pass away and martin luther was considered a he***** by orthodox christians
di8 #1 - a get rid of water pill is a di8, but this one changes the third letter to the 2nd vowel; other di8 are people who love to wear clothes by Christian Di.., and sleep in sheet sets by him, and...
caitlyn, we have a telephone preference service over here, it is free to register and will cut out all the cold calls from this country. If you call BT or your service provider they can sort it out.
great clues BR and nDan!
katie I have it but they seem to by pass it
I am cold, the thermostat says 70 degrees but I am still freezing. It is supposed to go up to mid 60's outside but not sure it will, gray out at the moment
oh peri, I hate it when the room is warm enough and I am not.... *offers warm afghan*
Oh that is really frustrating cait, I'm lucky and it screens most of mine
thanks, already had some hot chai
the windows are not double paned so I know that there are drafts in here
I grew up with an unlisted number, I couldn't believe it when I got my own house and went into the phone book, it was such a shock to see the amount of calls I got
except, that designer clue isn't working. I get the first four letters of course, but not sure what the last is since "nuts" isn't in the grid...
going backwards with the list, stuck in the TE words at the moment
peri perhaps you need some of stids hot toddy
oh, drafts will get me every time!
What do you call a chicken that crosses the road, rolls in the mud, and crosses back over?
A dirty double crosser.
a dirty double crosser!!!
a dog, BR?
aw you said it too fast, i knew that one.
LOL
I have an old down robe which is wonderful, may have to get it out of the closet
oh *groan*

thanks Babble
All these years I thought "detrius" was a word. Apparently, I am wrong and the dictionary proves it.
it's detritus
I know that now. How many times did I sound ignorant when I said the wrong one?
Hi, Supe!
no one will remember and only you now care
not to worry, flippy :)
Supe, you are forever light years ahead of our president who still cannot say nuclear.
can deficit
Bush also uses the word "strateegerie"
today is a momentous day in the US
who was it that spelled tomato tomatoe? Dan Quayle?
'Tis, BR-r... I have not been so excited, ever, re: this process.
hi again...yep that was him
Mr. Qualye was the goofball in chief, Ata... good to see you.
yes, that was Dan Quayle, "sh4-fer-brains"
*flops* managed to get a few hours online, and I'm very glad of the break
lol, lil! I used to have a light switch plate with his face on it..the switch was his nose
monkey, he makes up words too... Frank Caliendo, a comedian, does a very good Bush, and does a decent skit on "Recordifying with a recordifier when the rodeo is on the Teeeveeee"
As I've also said before: Some things are true even if George Bush believes them, but good luck getting anyone to buy that anymore. Thomas Friedman is a columnist with The New York Times.
perhaps it would have been anatomically correct if the light swtich was his peepee
Mr. Friedman is a rational human being...
ewwww :)
Ata, Mr. Quayle's no-no came when he corrected a schoolboy's spelling of potato/e...
oh yes. potato, tomato ... nearly the same *blush*
they have page-a-day calendars with Bushisms now..prob could have made 10 years' worth
Ata... no blushing... YOU didn't do it! LOL
Quayle: “If we don't succeed we run the risk of failureâ€.
*smirk*
i had forgotten that classic lol
what was that amazing foot-in-mouth quote Dan Quayle made while speaking to the NAACP?
I can't wait until Mr. Bush tries to raise funds for his presidential library... the comic book section will take up the most space...
nah. picture books. don't comics have words?
LOL scarlet
te 6/21?
I lost my head there for a moment, Ata... correct, as usual! :-)
ROFL, Scarlet!
:-0
te 6 --- add to perform again
Scarlet, Bush's presidential library is a running joke in "November" on Broadway with Nathan Lane :-)
nucular...he tried to say that was a regional way to pronounce it
Never trust a Texan president, they're all as dumb as bricks
Is that one you saw whilst tripping the light fantastic, Une?
NOO KYU LAR
I ADORE Nathan Lane...
one of the ones, yes! LOL
ah, a classic babblet
play got very mixed reviews but I enjoyed it :-)
Perfection, Une!! Lucky lady! Reviews, schmereviews... if you liked it, that's all that matters...
Hey Movieman
Hey Krista
Anyone else seen/ planning to see Cloverfield?
any news from Super Tuesday? I was out unloading muddy boxes and haven't see any news
well, at least Lyndon didn't have to ride on Daddy's coat tails . . .
I saw it the day it opened :-)
What did you think, une?
W.. Virginia seems to have swung in favor of Mr. Huckabee...
it just about gave me vertigo but I enjoyed it . . .
I would like to see it sometime, movieman, but will probably wait for it to come out on dvd
pab, it's a good one to see on the big screen . . .
to 7? either or both...
they're pretty conservative (live right over the border and used to work there), so not shocked
I'm with pabtrek.. it's more fun at home, and I don't have to worry about a serial groper who seems to be making the scene in Asheville movie theaters!
I agree, Krista... not unexpected.
yikes, scarlet!! well . . . of course, we did have a flasher in our neighborhood last week
Will be seeing 'Jumper' next week, although surely for its US release it should be called 'Sweater'?
to 7 -- dial to*** and ***k tock
lol, movieman
to 7 -- 2000 and certain
is it a jumper as in sweater or jumper as in hurdler?
I honestly feel that a flasher is by far, more interesting than a panting groper...
I'd like to see it! I need to get a big screen tv..it would pay for itself with the money i'd save not going to the movies..it's extortionate
there i go again with those endings!
ew ew ew
bbl..want to watch another dumb texan..dr phil..can't help it, i like him
seriously, no offense to texans
i watch him too Krista
in fact watching right now
I was born there, Krista... think of myself as an American...
last one, ti6 before attempts.
i have a ti6 that's layered
hello all
That which is constructed as a ti4/4
hey, peri :-)
i meant tr6, bother
Hi, peri!!
we can compare notes later, Pab :) I don't usually generalize..was referring to Bush..bbl
do you have tr6 french for sad?
the actor
yeah it's before attempts and before one who attempts
tr6 plural of tr5/10 . . .
tr 6 -- chemestry physics: sc***ce*
Same first four letters, and abbr. for where LoriP lives
help with first te6 please
and 2nd and 3rd te6 too :-)
te 6 -- other end of totter
At last, managed to get below 100 to go!!!!!
yay MM!
te 6 -- add a sharp ridge: a****
phew, thanks
Just hit 100, mm.
te 6 -- exam giver
thanks BR
congrats, hurshy
Well done, hursh.
te6/21 please
te 6 --- to accomplish again
add
thanks BR
Good afternoon/evening all. Just seeing how you're all going on.
Hello, Haz! It has been an enjoyable grid.
hello, haz .... my ingrown whisker has taken a turn for the worse
i feel silly asking for it, but the ne5 please
hi haz :) how's the spangly one?
Will intensive care be necessary, Babble?
Hello Scarlet - and Atalante, Spangly one is fine.
ne and a record of the past: h***ory
thanks Babble, like duh
I have an intensive care spaniel. a bandaged paw causing much angst
I expect some down time
Did the bandaged paw also necessitate a lampshade?
luckily no. just no walking for 3 days and antibiotics for a week. and 3 stitches
down to 97 left
Same here, peri
Hope the spaniel cooperates in all aspects of care. Are you getting the 'look'?
Same here, peri.
:-)
all the time! she's having constant rawhide to stop her nibbling at the bandage. which makes hobbit look very unimpressed
just found another 3 words
peri, Scarlet and Movieman are on a race to the finish....
Are the stitches on the pad itself?
I'll cede youth and energy to their races, Haz... I am on a leisurely stroll right now...
no, luckily. on her ankle joint
she had an encounter with some barbed wire, poor darling
now stuck in the dreaded RE words
That's good - stitches on the pad are notoriously difficult to heal.
remember the stroll, Scarlet?
oh, ata, so sorry!!!
I remember the stroll
Yes I do, BR-r... slow and easy R&R...
You tell them that, Scarlet, then overtake at the end just when they've been lulled into a false sense of security.
used to watch American Bandstand
Come'on baby, let's do the stroooolllll.....
yes ... this should heal absolutely fine now its stitched. as long as she manages to stop nibbling at it
You know me so very well, Haz... LOL
So did I, peri, and Dick Clark isn't much changed in 50 years... the stroke slowed him down a bit, but he still looks wonderful.
finally done, thanks to lickety's list and all my fellow babblers who gave fabulous clues, must give my brain a break, see everyone tomorrow
I know you well enough to know you'd enjoy this grid, Scarlet.
four re's involve cessation of work after deciding it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor
I really want to get to half way
congrats, pabtrek
And you are so right, Haz. I really don't want to rush it.
and I really want tocsin too
Yahoo for pabtrek!! @@@
re 6's ---- add rip and ripped
Congratulations pabtrek!
re 5 -- add a word for back adaptation to bring old equipment current
usually followed by "fit"
Nice, BR-r.. thank you.
re 8 -- horse guide and to give credit to the author
re 8 --- to provide coverage for again
re 7 --- to bury again
re 6 -- to dicide on a loacation again
decide
sometimes I am able to spell two words in row correctly
need to take a short break, 68 left bbs
re 5 --- add to give a probability of the cost: ***imate
See you shortly, peri.
re 6 --- to mint again and plural
gosh, it is *so* nice to have an evening free to babble and to see everyone.
And a big grid makes everything perfect?
Hello Ata Im just uploading the latest pic oh and hello Haz
back from my flooded basement. YUCK. at least its not a finished basement:) came back just in time for a bunch of good clues. thanks everyone.
Hello FMitch and soggy debjed.
a 67 word grid would make life *really* perfect
any clues for the O in the top row besides the on4,5?
It's perfect here, Ata... sorry about your water park, deb... good to see you again, FMitch.
oooh a giants fan...boooo lol
Hi Scarlet and deb and BabbleR Flickr is updated
Cranky and crankiest, deb...
at least the cats will still go down there to use their boxes. i guess it is a water park for them:)
Pic is not finished, there is room on the shelves for more
FMitch - it's excellent!
LOl, ToastedOats... I was open to either team winning... and I did want to see perfection, but do I feel wonderful for Eli and crowd@! :-)
oooo hang on, i think i support the giants. they weren't the new england team, were they? isn't that the patriots? apparently I support whoever aren't the patriots
Its come up good and clear hasn't it
thanks Red
but 19-0 would have been slammin! and yes, yes pats are from NE
It has indeed, I love the pics of Brandyjack and Lickety.
New York Giants, who won, and the New England Patriots..
blew it on the LAST GAME! lol
my fav is the plane, can you work out what it is?
aqpparently I support the giants then/. go giants! LOL
Toasted... I am SO sick and tired of the 1972 Dolphins... I bet Shula and crowd really tied one on in celebration of the perfect record being untouched...
aw, im out numbered lol
ewww dogfart
Can I have a clue, FMitch!?
NO you're not, Toasted... I love the game, and it was thrilling all year with the Brady Bunch...
its not a ghost but a ......

PHANTOM!
Yay and Yup

Dogs farts are not as nasty as cat farts, in my opinion.
Hi everyone, I was babbling this morning and now I'm back. I just went Pro yesterday. How can I get Lickety's list on the same page as my grid?

Hi everyone, I was babbling this morning and now I'm back. I just went Pro yesterday. How can I get Lickety's list on the same page as my grid?
Hi, Mich
Hi, Michnick!
hi Mich, you need to email Lickety and he will send you the program for it
hey mich
I am waiting for a call from the hospital to let me know my room is ready.
Hello Michnick. You need to open it in a separate window. Or you might want to e-mail Lickety and he will send you the download for Babble expert.
Fireworks and am off to catch a ferry
No wonder you need distraction, Jellen... why are you going?
congrats flosey
wtg Flosey
Yahoo for flosey!! @@@

{{{Mega-hugs to Jellen}}}}
Jellen, I'm sorry to hear that. I pary everything turns out ok
Thanks, Nono
Jellen, hope all goes well. How can we distract you?
What have you been told will be done for you, Jellen?
boglady if u see my message email, gabby
General chat and discreet dropping of word clues will do nicely, Haz
Sending good thought over to Jellen Hello jilli
I'll be put on anti-coagulants for the next few days, I gather.
Ah, so you don't want FMitch to sing, or me to juggle? Babble COULD tell a few jokes.
Hi everyone, sorry for the delay. Howdy Jellen, I am sorry for what you are going through. You will be in my prayers!!
Hi everyone, sorry for the delay. Howdy Jellen, I am sorry for what you are going through. You will be in my prayers!!
Okay, then you will have to be a very good patient, Jellen... watch Haz juggle some flaming torches...
I love Babble's jokes. They remind me of my dad's.
FMitch i did not quite understand th ic** thing ,must be dense today
Me, sing, we want her to feel well not in pain from my voice!
Uniquity is the one for the fire batons. I can do a couple of apples.
You could start the song, FMitch and then we could all join in and drown you out.
I can make silly faces and bake cookies...
Mmm. . . Cookies!
Atalante is bound to be brilliant at something.
Yvo I think Haz was referring to the pic of you that you have next to your name and use as your ic4
everything, os course
AHA!! Struck a chord with cookies... what is your heart's desire, Jellen?
Tapdancing? Magic tricks?
How entertaining can being smug be?
LOl, Ata... goddess of smug.
Michael Winner has made a career out of it.
But then again, he's not entertaining, is he?
lol
Hello everyone. Jellen - thank goodness they found it and are taking prompt action, hope everything goes easily for you
ok got it ,to many words today ,slow on the uptake ,thank you
FM -- your flickrs are SO clever and SUCH fun! Is that photoshoppery?
Hi, lynxxx!
Hello lynxxx and jillibus.
thanks jilli, - it's good old fashioned cut up pictures and paste.
Good day to lynxxx and jilli!
Hi Jilli
sounds like fun but very time-consuming, FM
hi Jilli,
hi lynxxx and all
well, hello saan!
Hi there, saanichcat!
Not really, the clueriosity shop has taken about 1 hour in total so far
Hi, saan
I love the title, I must say.
are you getting the big winds over there? I heard the ferry was cancelled. My place facing west has huge winds too.
I'd better get on with this monster grid!
Hi Scarlet! How are you?
I think the symbolism is the fun thing, like the camels
yes, saan -- off and on -- had a huge gust a few minutes ago. Ferries cancelled? Flosey was just going to catch one from Fulford.
I suppose the picnic pest should feature in some capacity?
thats fun FM
Oh yes brill Haz
I think the tenrec needs to feature somewhere ...
he's in the PB one Ata
Jilli, just heard the news -- Schwartz Bay/Tswasssen cancelled. Hello and good day Jellen!
oh yes so he is now!!
Got the call. Headed to the hospital now. See you all in a few days---
who is it who has posted the hairy-nosed dolphin, the buffalo, the volcano etc in her flickr?
good luck!
FM!
See you Jellen - best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Be thinking of you Jellen
hey all, just had a slower and a shave, feel fantastic!
Blame FM, jillibus.
Thumbs up, jellen!!!
good luck Jellen, not that you'll need it - enjoy the rest xxxxx
Hello bfsog.
Best Wishes, Jellen.
Positive thoughts your way, Jellen. Pax.
oh, FM, was it? Duh.
Byeee *poof*
Looking good too bfsog?!
why thankyou
You look smashing, bfsog!!
hi bfsog - and smelling nice too
I am doing very well, saan... thank you for asking! And, you?
oh yeah, still got an abundance of smelly stuff from christmas,
any help with the E's from the second row?
Ages and ages, for one, deb.
saan -- Fulford to Swartz still ok?
that's the only one i have:)
The Babble bird in its splendor for two more...
et6.18 forever
There's the usual culprits, deb, the lengthy time and the seabird. et6 - a seabird for ever enclosed in vowels.
er5.12 wear away
ER + a two word form of to be + small parasite, minus the last consonant, then plural for the 8
er7/32 - e plus a word relating to the country (ru6/24) but change the vowel at the start
love your clues, Haz
And then plural for er8
Thanks, jillibus, glad you do!
Jilli, no mention Been listening to CFAX but will check ferry sailings. And Scarlet, I'm just over a terrrible flu which has lest me speechless, much to the relief of family anf friends!
And being voiceless is a bad thing how, saan... LOL
LOL to you to Scarlet!
:-)
Haz, I have been dickering around with the last sn5/10, and no results... would you please clue for the bewildered among us? (That is moi)
dickering? now thats a new one on me!
The last sn5/10 is a plural.
Thank you for the rescue, and I feel moronic right now.
For a nose-related condition.....
eeewww I hope you have been dickering with the sn5.10
got half way! yay!
You're welcome, Scarlet!
I am having a hard time today and for some reason I'm not getting most of your wonderful clues.
Good for you Atalante!
It is also a slang word for way-too-superior women and teenagers...
Well Babble is always a constant revelation to me
Michnick, sing out if you need clarification.
But, to clarify, that word could NEVER be aimed toward Ata... she is a breed apart.
LOL, Fmitch... I love learning new usages here every day!
I am unique. Or something!
No, you couldn't mention sn5 and smug in the same breath.
"Something"
yes definitely LOL
It's against the laws of England to do that.
So sayeth the Constable...
Chief Constable.
Not that rank means anything to me!
Yes Sir!
Correction: Chief Constable. LOL, Haz, of course not...
And sit up straight. Posture!
MIne is excellent, CC m'aam.
Glad to hear it, Scarlet. Atalante has won awards for her posture.
Then mine shall pale in the shadow of a great one...
I had posture lessons at school. really!
Haz you are just giving Ata more smugness there
Is that possible, FM?
I knew it! You can tell from her typing style that she would have had posture lessons.
posture *and* elocution lessons!!
No wonder she's smug.
I have seen lovely women who move as though they are wearing weighted combat boots, then slouch into a seat with great abandon... makes me a touch queasy...
I hated elocution lessons. 2 hours a week!!!
We had deportment lessions as school and the length of our uniforms were measured
Those women, Scarlet, obviously didn't go to FMitch's school.
you obviously went to the same school as me
you didnt go to St Georges, did you????
Did you have to kneel on the ground to ensure the skirt touched?
Hello Jilli, aplogies for taking so long..last report is thatthe next Fulford-Schwartz Bay is at 3:00 pm
wooooo FIREWORKS!
Well done, Nono!
wtg Nono
But, to the purple they have been born, Haz, and their education is apparently sorely lacking in the social graces... Yahoo for Nono!! @@@
Congrats nono!
Congrats Nono !!
LOL yes Haz Congrats Nono
Happy Super Tuesday everyone!
Hello Lori!
Backatcha, Lor!!
Yes Haz. Was it 3 or 4 inchesabove the ground? too long ago to remember
G'd evening babble
i would like to report, just for the record, that i cannot fly nor do i have LoriP's icon
Hi Lori
so this super tuesday - lets say that dude, bama? wins 20 of the states, is he the democrat leader?
Uni-queness!!! Hi!
Hi Lori nice to see you again and Uni
Had a few minutes before I have to peel the tateys, so I'm goofing off.
Hi uniquity
Our hems had to touch the floor
Hello Uniquity as well.
LOL lil. **Fess up, and give it back...***
no! *stamps lil monkey foot*
Peeling tateys again? Whatchu got against the peel?!?!?!
I, on the other hand, Lor, continue to grope for the rest of these glorious words...
and heels no higher than 1 1/2 inches, with particular colour ribbons for the hair
Lori wastes tatey peels!
There's a lot of theft about today. Caitlyn is fearing the knock at the door - she managed not to pay for some lemonade.
and no makeup or jewellery
***My name is Lori, and I am a tato peeler.***
Oh Hi Red! Missed ya!
tatey peelers anonymous meeting doesn't start until 7
Sounds like I'd have been kicked out of school before I ever started .....
For jewellery, one signet ring.
bfsog, many of the states are "winner take all" and some of the states have an equality of delegates to be parsed according to the percentage of votes... we will not have a definitive winner, necessarily, but we will have swept out many of the pretenders to the throne.... Hi, Uni!
Did you have to wear skirts?
I am not getting any of the ce's! I'd love a little help from my friends...
You mean I'm early lil? Will there at least be doughnuts?
The worst item of kit were the .... Greek dancing tunics.
I had a blue and yellow tartan skirt at school
no! you can only eat tatey peels
ce + mucial ***s help pianists, then plural
There will be potatoe peelings by the bushel Lori...now pipe down :)
One of the ce6 is a shade of pink. Change one consonant to make it look like ce plus a ceremony, then plural that.
what the he4 is a Greek dancing tunic
Dan Quayle!!!!! ***potatoe*** :-)
Greek Dancing Tunics! what!! what did you do in these - practice 'certain' rites?
cerise
OOps, that was the one I had (the color) Now I'll try & find the ceremony...
so sorry
saani said a wooooooooooooooooooord
ce4/5 is a gathering of the letter...
into the penalty box
They were worn for the *shudder* music and movement classes.
off the Box for me.
Shirley you can't be serious? ce 6/24 spell serious funny
ce4/5 (plus past tense and plural), sounds like the prophet (se4/4)
i'm feeling a bit washed out, think i'll go take a short nap before supper
***Attention all shoppers, we would like to attract your attention to saan, who is headed to the PB***
happy babbling everyone
Got the 1st 3 but the ce4/5 and the ce6/24?????
Enjoy your nap, Nono.
Later, Nono... nice work on the grid!
It's all those words they wore you out Nono
ce4/5 is just lots of the letter c.
Feel better sooner Nono. :-)
Mich, I clued the 6/24
thanks everyone *poof*
Ok Thanks everyone, I'm getting there
What Lori .?
***Wonders if you'll all hear the tateys scream when I peel them***
Doh you mean Mich
What what FM?
that must have been a sight, a whole bunch of nymphettes flouncing around in greek dancing tunics - and waving great lengths of fabric perhaps
Lori! lots of room in the Box here. Anyone want to party? I brought smoked salmon
tateys: "Ow! my eyes! Ow! that hurts"
It's made FM what she is today.
You are just like your Number 1, Lori... she makes carrots scream for their poor, orange little lives...
LOL FM, FM vs Mich...... :) Like when Une and Uni are on.
Hangs head and remembers that she doesn't have to tell everyone everything.
LOLOL lil
Or if FMitch is on when FranMag is. A multiplication of FM.
I knew that Scarlet would bring that up...It was only the one time, as my odllar store peeler (shockingly enough) is pretty much a one time thing.
Perhaps for the next clue needed, FM could do it through an interpretaive dance?
wearing the Greek tunic?
ROFL
But, you fessed up to it, Uni... a proud moment if ever there was one...
ROFL Lori hahaha
Lori that is priceless
Sometimes it doesn't even matter if Unea and I are both on...I have stopped reponding to Une or Uni, in rebellion :D
I keep trying cert -- Dick Francis, "Dead Cert" -- it never works
i scrolled back what is the clue for the ce 6/24 please?
Make it French style, jillibus.
That's a clue I'd pay to watch. FM in greek dance tunic, cluing through interpretive dance
i got the 6/21 ce woohoo
Then, shall I call you "Quit"? That just is not right on any level...
me too!
I think she should be wearing the red dress, rather
Now there is a challenge for my scissors and pritt stick
guess what everyone, it's 74 degrees here today :) it's delightful!
si
Lori... it is too much for my innocence to be subjected to FMitch's love dances...
Thanks to everyone, but I'll never finish this one.
You can do it Mich!!!!
EEEK they are not those sorts of dances Scarlet
it's the last ce4/5 I want to be cert and it refuses
***Lori throw snowball at lil, from her 0 Celsius location***
Make it end with a vowel instead, jillibus
Oh, *whew* FMitch... I was taking on a massive anxiety attack for a moment or two...
I know, Jilli, I keep trying cert, and my eye keeps trying to convince me to try sincere!
*snowball turns into a puddle* nyah nyah
change the t to 4th vowel jili
jill i have two of the ci 4 words so not sure wht i am missing either
It is blustery and snowy and slippery and awful outside...as usual, I was nearly run over by three cars while attempting to use the cross walk.
Nasty, U.
FM - just thought that the charged particle should feature in the cluerosity shop?
ty haz, lori -- should have remembered that
For heavens sake do take care Uni, um quity, er Fred
I walked home from up the road in taht crap Uni. I had an ice cream hadache from walking in to the wind
can we call you uniq?
Now I'm just missing the last ce6/21
Fred...now isn't that funny! Lol, we can all just call me Uni again. miss it :(
Fred! ***snicker***
Lori can you put that ce clue together for me so i can figure it out more clearly i only have two ce 4/5 words
I suppose people would have stared if you'd gone backwards?
ce6/21 - to the ce4/5 you wanted, add a vowel and make it plural
i missed something... why can't we call Uniquity "Uni" ?
Hugs Uni, glad to have you back
ce = **w **w **w your boat ML
That ought to have read "I miss it"
I have to go have lunch -- hope you're al still here when I get back! TTFN
BRB
I still like Uniq...
Uniq suits her Jili, very much so
I threw a snotty fit, Lil*M and everyone took me for a grownup! :D
Enjoy your lunch Jili
I respond to many things Jillibus, don't worry about it! Whatever your heart desires as long as it is pleasant!
Botheration. Time I was away and doing other things. Nice to see you all again!
ce 5/12 and 5/14 please
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....cheesecake!
Okay, time to slaughter some innocent tateys. Plug your ears if their screams are bothersome
Have a lovely evening, Haz.
bye Haz. Likewise
Will do - Byee!
tateys: "nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
who said cheesecake?
Well...if My mother and Haz don't leave us at the same time! Take care you two
Uni's icon for fav dessert is cheesecake
I am still in that wonderful zone of having some great leftovers for dinner... *smile* *sigh*
my fav is a tie between cheesecake, brownies, and Key lime pie
ohhhh ok i love cheesecake
I love our "family" recipe...except I have altered it every time I made it, so it is barely the same anymore, except for basic ingredients
THanks Haz but I'm not getting it. There are 2 ce4/5s.
my hubby was just talking abotu dinner before he went into the shower and i had just eaten about two hrs ago
Does anyone else hear Lori's tateys screaming? I can't block it out, and I am miles away!
The family favorite is one I make with a chocolate, ground macadamia nut crust...
there are 3 ce 4/5s
ce 5/12 clue please
AHHHHH I got it!
*plugging ears against tatey screams*
i got two ce 4/5 words mich
It's worse than waterboarding, Uni... needing Eva's silence of the yams right now....
Oh Scarlet, I thought of you in the fourth quarter of the superbowl..we were all losing it and kept shutting the tv off in disgust. I don't know who you were rooting for, but I can only hope NOT the Pats. Otherwise, you are brokenhearted too :(
i have 3 ce 4/5 words
Tatey suicide...they sit there looking delicious.
both of my ce 4 words have e's in them lol
not suicide! LoriP is a tatey murderer!
Uni... LOL, I am a Kansas City Chiefs fan for decades... now, THAT is a heartbreak... I would have been very happy with either team winning, and it was one he** of a game... maybe the best Super Bowl I"ve seen in its 42 year run...
Scarlet, I was SOOO bored for the first three quarters...I much preferred last years game until the last quarter. I suppose the closeness but in a touch of tension, but I only like football during the "big game" and the fir 3/4 were too dull. We ate many nachoes and chatted instead :)
anybody have the ce 5 words?? that can clue them please??
my fav football watching food is TATEY SKINS
**put, rather than but and **first 3/4
I did not miss a pass, punt or penalty flag, Uni... if I can't suffer, it's not worth it... LOL
Hush Lil*M before I want some! :)
That's some good eating, monkey...
MLFAN -use the second ce4.5 - make it past tense and plural
MLF... CE + a color
mmmmm tatey skins are crunchy and chewy and cheesy and loaded with bacon bits and sour cream
Then CE + that same color, but change the last consonant to the plural from the past-tensed one.
tateys should not be peeled
ty lynxx how did imiss those sheesh
Caramba, lynxxx... I did not see your post... *slinking away behind the sparkly curtain**
second ce 7 please
do u have the ce6.21 before it?
i hve two 6/21 words
one is below a ce 4/5
Are you using Licketys list?
yes lynxx
i have the ce 6 and 7 singular and plural
the second ce7 is the plural of the 3rd ce6.21 then
can i have a clue for the ten letter word
one the second ce word i have is a plural
i only have two 6/21 words
huh?
I don't understand that mlfan
yeah me either
the first ce word is singular
the second ce 6 i have is plural
mlfan - you need to use Lickety list ie populate it with your words - you will be less confused
but i dont have the third ce 6
hey lil!
I can't stand when potatoes start to grow eyes, ergo I am making potato soup again
hi little bit!
how are you?
that's a cute icon pic you have today
jay - the de9.60 & 10.77 means to wear or rub away - rhymes with an act of con*******

LOL TO. Maybe he got jumped out.

well, even lawyers do retire, thogh the may remain active in the Bar Assoc., so yes.
check out my soon-to-be foster dog! :-)
i see
oooh too cute, une!
Aww, a cutie Une.
Oh Une how could you not, with those eyes!!!
they say she's very quiet, gentle, and . . . fat . . . LOL
fat? are they allowed to say that? Not something PC like weight challenged?
You have a good heart une, good on you.
(i don't think she heard . . . )
How long will you foster for Une?
well, the last dog I fostered has been my "permanent" child for 2 years now . . .
ack, meant big heart, good on you. More good gooder is the point
she has heartworms and needs treatment, so it'll be a while before she's "on the market"
You are fulfulling a very important role then, nice one.
It'd break my heart, I'd be terrible at giving them back.
we'll see if she actually "goes back" . . . :-)
: -)
lori, LOVE your substitute icon!! LOL
Hi Une... you are the Mother Theresa of sick doggies...
Hi Une - what a face, she's adorable - hope you ca straighten her out OK
:-D
Hi DC!
hi, lynxxx!
my springer had heartworms when he was 6 and lived to be nearly 16 so I feel very positive about the outcome
Thanks Une, I'm glad everybody enjoys it as much as I do.

hi all, please help with re6-18 the one after you dont work anymore
there we go! E and F finished.
he he he ren....i'm sure the dead will vote, but not in the primaries
no krista, jellen won't be here for a few days I think...
go stid!
stid, can you help out, with the ce 6/21????
i saw her news earlier..can't get her off my mind
what happened krista?
Krista, the hospital called while she was chatting, so, she went...
what happened to jellen?
sorry JBV... ce 6/21: french for "cherry" the fruit... ce + word meaning "to get up"
she isn't feeling well, but the docs are on top of it.
huckabee won w virginia
I have that too, but there is one after the ce 4/5
I have that too, but there is one after the ce 4/5
yes, but do you know why he won there? some political monkey business
oh JBV, babblet alert! Shakespeare for "of course"
sometimes they can operate, sometimes they can't..she mentioned it publicly, so I assume it's ok to repeat it.she has a pulmonary embolism
it sounds like the teeny breath mint with the big taste.
no i don't, i don't follow the republicans as close, but for a republican i kinda like him
but of course! ty!
w va is typically very conservative
dang, gravel hasn't gotten a single delegate, poor guy
I heard that McCain withdrew anad threw his support to Huckabee so Romney wouldn't win, cause all the votes would go to the winner - does that make sense?
Hit 293 totally stumped hitting the list
the list really helped me herin
mcain w/drew...bless me i'm dreaming
is that true???? cant see McCain throwing in the towel
thanks Dorens. I feel like im cheating my Brain as i usually get to 14
opps 7
well it would demonstrate he is a good strategist... (mccain)
not that he didn't want to win, but that he realized that if he lost it would help romney and that is his problem, not Huckabee
the man who wants to keep us in iraq for a hundred years? i don't think that sounds like a good strategist.
those strategerizing republicans :)
IN 8/40 please? after the college slave-workers?
how did your appt go today Nuthead?
if you are tying a knot and it gets really mixed up, you in****** it
weird word stid
welp it was lots of fun, i couldn't possibly explain how fun it was.
sorry :(
tangle, cut, untie (words that go with knots)
i'm never sorry for fun
in + mis*** roberts + a fork has **n*s

Dorens, I went back to chat so you could read Jellen's words: Jellen They found a pulmonary embolism during a CAT scan yesterday.
go JBV go!
Except moniter and other flickery things give me a migrane.
Scarlet i did read that
I answered at 6:07, Dorens..not sure you saw it
co 7/32: critter + noose that businessmen wear with their shirt
and plural of course
ooohh, sorry to hear that. thanks scarlet and krista. will keep her in my thoughts
now that is another weird word, but thank you!
funny word
She sounded pretty down, Do.
yes, well that is a scary thing scarlet... and painful.
Poor Jellen...
Yes we send babble thoughts to her
no wonder {{Jellen}} even tho she can't see it
Hi all--anyone hear more info on Jellen??
maybe she can krista -- hospitals sometimes have computers and wifi for patients who are able to use them
no more news yet scrabbler... (((hugs))) how about news about Mary?
hi all been working on grid and not looking at chat, is today your birthday stid
That would be cool if she could Babble while getting her meds!
hello crp -- no, but angelfood cake is my favorite food, dessert etc.
co7,32 and 8,45 , right before the ice cream treat?
looks good, can i have a piece
Hi scrabs, crp
lilmonkey -- that's the medical term for having sex
hi dorens
The best news for Jellen is that she was diagnosed by CT instead of by sudden death---not to be morbid, but PEs are often fatal/
Hi Scrabbs
wh-wh-wha-whaaaaaaat!!!!????
*puts slice of cake on plate and hands to crp*
tis trueee
I have the de 8/45 - do the 9 and 10 build on that - can't find the endings

tytyty
WTG crpw
rofl, nut -- you're VERY bad!

Wish you could share them, Scrabbler.
which makes me sooooooooo good
Mary is flying to Duke Univ Thursday, and will return and go home Friday evening--home for the first time since Nov 23rd!!!
isn't the medical term "boning" ?
It didn't fit for me, either (ooh, no pun intended)
ir6 related to inflammation of that part of the eye
YESSSSS!!!!!!! go Mary go!!!
tanks jessmom!

um... "thanks" I mean...

I stopped by Mary's house yesterday and had lunch with her 3 yr old son--he is hilarious and adorable. They are getting the house ready for Mary's return, so he showed me drawings etc.

bye dorens! see you again soon!
Oh Hyp that is not good
Oh, ted! Are you Ok now?
bye Dorens..enjoy dinner
LOL, I see that your name is not really "Ted", but Happy Hearted. sorry
no, and I don't breathe too well so I had a spinal and they did the surgery while I was awake Wooohoooothat's a trip
yowzah...not fun
oh golly -- I am sorry to hear that! oh man. oh man. I am REALLY glad you are here!
Or, what is your name? I don't want to assume.
Ok sorry for being really lame and trivial but can anyone tell me why a tv network axes a show with 2 episodes left for one show and 11 episodes for another and another channel there was less than 8.
Ted that is err scary
happy hearted :)
happy hearted is a lovely name, may I abbreviate to happy?
i'm doing fine now, wouldn't want to do that again tho.
being awake for surgery..it's the sounds more than anything that got to me..I'm sure that's the case with hip replacement!!
headphones would be nice
sure stid, no problem, everyone abbreviates yours, eh?
Drilling, sawing, screwdriving, hammering etc. Orthopedists use carpentry tools!
yes, they do. :-)
oh, I'm excited. Only 1 more . . . then I'll have 100. Hate these big ones.
Thanks stid fore really freaking me out
hey, I never thot of headphones, but I chatted with all the people around me so it was OK, the yanking my body around was weird
Go Mark, go!!
i had the hammer and chisel with ethmoidectomy..at least that's what it felt/sounded like
go Mark! LOL
I am freezing! Off to warm up by vacuuming the downstairs then make hot tea.
Well im off to meet RMC any one got any thing to say to her
yes, that's weird, isn't it, Happy..you can feel it, but you can't feel it...
Yikes, Krista---did you warn the doc to avoid doing a brain biopsy?
yes, it sounds like saws and hammers with hip, what's an ethmoidectomy, I know removal of something :)
I wanted to ask you yesterday, Herin..who is RMC? Don't recall her/him
just hello and hope she's well -- have a good time, lady!
RMC Rose
BBL, buddies.

Anyone else?
Oh! have a great time, Herin! Take pix

They put my mom to sleep for hers, too. I was prob in more danger awake because i couldn't stop talking..the drugs..plus that's just me
Is your daughter ok?

I talked the whole time too. How is your mom from hers? My daughter has had nothing but problems.

Hi All...back for 117 more, will never finish due to work....grrrr.

Grrrr and brrr, right?

what is that OO 4?!?!?
famous miniseries about slavery: R****
phand: oo 4/4 scotland talk for not "ins"
Red has snow, that's why I said brrr. It was colder than it was supposed to be here, but still unseasonably warm (60ish?)
did your mom try that pill that makes everyone so sick to shrink it?
LOL, it snowed about 6-7 inches last night. SOme of it has melted, but yes, its cold...
almost done, ph?
ugh! there is another OO in the puzzle! thnx
But I'm ok because the roads are ok...

haha
nah..I try not to be too hung up on finishing..I'd be miserable most days
looking for the last er 5/12 - clue, please?
snood
it goes against the grain to not finish, but next to impossible
I finish, but only because I cheat; I use A2Z...
Happy, off to the PB for you!
oops I talk so seldom I forgot to switch sorry!!
diving back in
Cheater! Cheater in our midst! (just kidding)
welcome to the club, happy...I was in the pb four times this morning

JBV did u get that last er?
nope, waiting for a clue, Kazozz
ummm, oops!
wash away JBV
ty, Kazozz
hmm..wash away...
e's are now gray, pushing onward to the f's!
or wear away, like rocks
yay u got it
OH! ty
Aw! I was hoping JBV wouldn't get that clue so I could say er5 = what the cowboy did when he galloped off on his horse - er*** it'. :D Hi folks!
lol hi Jac
there, you DID get to say it :) Funny lady
Jac do u by any chance have the ni 7/28?
I'm beavering quietly away at my final 24 words.
well, that didn't give me a word, but I'm laughing too
lol I was trying to get the ni with the cowboy riding in!
have serious problems figuring the NO 4/4 after 12pm's
Hi and Bye, this ones too big for me. have 205 with 170 more to go. So off to watch Idol.
Indeed I do, Kaz. ni7 & plural 8 means an 'after dark' club.
bye Mary..I agree!
Oh Crud, I pretty much have to go myself, so I can work...104 left...
the 4-letter ones always kill me
ni 7/28 is short for p.m. hours + jac's cowboy **d*s away on his horse
darn, Red..see u later
wow..ty jbv
ok now u both clued me and i still cant get it..get the wet fish out Jac
no 4/4 is anagram of a metal (ir 4/4)
phan - the no4 after the midday ones = neither you no* *(me).
thanx JBV got it, didn't think that was a word!
why didn't that work the 1st 3 times I typed it in...grrr...
Omgoodnes Im not a big chatter but all my list disappeared
been working on it all day
try refreshing
that was in the grid yesterday (the no 4)
oh my!! did you refresh?
or close and reopen
o i did refresh and its all better whew
ty all
scary!
need some help with the fo's I have only one fo 6/27 and nothing after that (the box at the bottom of a page of text)
do u have the plural?
><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>¸. ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>
ok, got one more - a game people play with the lower extremities under the table
Since I rarely get too far because of time
wow, that's great jac!
oops...wrong 6/27...the one w/plural is cutesy term for distal appendages
yes, that one..plural
hi feather
I'm diving down with the fish in4 the grid again now.
scrabbling and idol-ing here
Ok officially poof, 97 left. Not too bad, but not complete.
i should start watching idol..at least it's not a rerun..my Tuesdays suck without Boston Legal
ok, f's are grey!
clue for the first fo 7/40 please?
Krista - more leg end like.
ty..lol good clue
now my f's are gray..hey dorens is in grid
phantom - detritus
Yes, I no6/21d that earlier.
JBV - that's one of my phantoms, too.
that was 1st word i typed this morning..bad omen (detritus)
and my favorite all time crossword puzzle word is almost here, too - etui
evening all. what letter does the 10 word start with?
Hi python - it begins with a d.
just a favorite of mine because it reminds me of a crossword puzzle partner I used to have at work - he was a quite elderly gentleman and we used to race to see who could complete the NY Times puzzle every day - we were on the honor system not to open the paper until we got together in the a.m. -
that's cute...must have been a cool job
sadly, he is deceased now but I always think about him when I see that word
hi pythonx
well it's a cool job but we did the puzzle BEFORE work, not during
I'd like to know why the answer is almost always 'oboe' when you get the clue 'woodwind instrument'. Anyone would think there were no others!
ty jac. di, de or do?
python - de.
hi krista
maybe saxophone doesn't fit well in many puzzles
Another crossword clue that used to appear a lot was the cryptic one, 'synthetic fabric found in many London shops'. I'm sure you know the answer.
particular to London??spandex?
ha
It's a cryptic clue, Krista.
hmm, haven't seen that one Jac - is it contained in the letters for "London shops"
anagram?
sure is
nylon
No, not an anagram. It's in the words many London.
That's it... maNY LONdon.
ah, krista got it
I positively STINK at crosswords
i love cryptics, too, but it takes a certain amount of retraining the brain after a few hours of babble
LOL. Even in the midst of Babbling, Babblers can't resist a puzzle.:))
when I play noggin I am so thrown because 3 letter words count..once again, conditioned by Babble
have any more? it's more entertaining than this grid
Krista - I keep meaning to ask you - what's the url for noggin? All I found googling it was a kids' game site.
i always play through Facebook...let me see...
Oh, I'll have to check it out on Facebook. I play Scramble, Herd a Word and (before it got zapped) Scrabulous on there.
hhmm..can't find it outside of there..that's your best bet..it's highly addictive!!!!
the game are short..so you think...oh, just one...more...game...
I know, Krista. I know.:(
how about scroggle?
scrabulous is actually still up and running..we thought it was closed, but was just having probs one day
Was it, Krista? Is it? Ooh goody!
io 6 clue pls
Good ening, afternoon, morning all. Not much time as tornadoes have been thru here and more are expected. Need ONE more word and I can shut down . se7/28 please
Sounds like seeing orbs made of metal, phan.
Hi Hoot. se7/28 is the plural of the 6 before it.
thats evening
Hope the twisters keep away from you.
take care of yourself in tornado mode
Jac, I am not comprehending that clue
yep..i got a 203 point word the other day..not bragging...I was in total shock
How? I'm not getting it. Turns back on itslef.
phan - it means to change into io4.
Hi Minnie, Hi hoot..never played scroggle..sounds like another good one

Hoot - work up to the left and then across to the right.

Kaz - the most on7.
OMG - A shark would do! Thanks loads
sereins
That'd be it, Hoot.
yes, that's it
lol
would send you to the penalty box, but you dont' have time
Sorry about that. Why I try to stay off chat!
FMitch needs to come on at night (EST)
Don't feel bad...I hold today's record
Yes, Hoot, FMitch is doing a wonderful picture of the penalty box with all sorts of pertinent stuff in it.
It depends on whats available in the box. Have a window of about 15 min. Been looking for that word for 40 min! Should have done what I usually do - assume it's there, enter it, figure it out later!
cold stone ice cream?
be safe, hoot...gonna go now..night, all
hoot - you just said another word! LOL
Yeah - I shouldn't push it. Only lightening & rain so far here, but a mall about 5 mi from here was hit and more coming. I think I prefer hurricanes
I'll email you a copy of FM's penalty box and old clueriosity shop pics, if you'd like, Hoot?
OKOKOK I'm out of here! Thanks agaon Jac - see ya
(poof)
co 8 clue please
the first one
cp8 = to take out cover jointly. co** (money) + *** (certain).
That's co8, not cp.
And 4 asterisks after, not 3. Sorry!
I'm down the other end in the t words. LOL.
hi all!
Scroggle is basically like this, except that you click and drag the mouse to pick the words instead of typing, and the columns are shifted. Hard to describe.
111 left..not gonna get this one lol
That's on LaLena, Minnie?
yeah
Hi, TO.
may i have a clue for di 8, please? ty
There are 2 di8's, TO.
The first is the plural of the di7 before it and the 2nd sounds like a drug used to make you pee, but change the 3rd letter to the 5th vowel.
gee - i have beither! have got to 288 listless and with clues
Well done, TO.
I've got 10 words to go.
no choice, jacs. no lickety at work foregin site
hi y'all. Wow another biggie. I guess I should start now
Well, it just shows what you can do when you have to, TO!
actually there are three. it's the first i was asking about, hadn't got any farther into the di words.
Hi autumn.
hi jac
i have it! on to the next one! ty!
Oops, yes. 3 di8. Sorry, TO. The first is like the last (the pee medicine) but change 3rd letter to 2nd vowel. And, I should have said for last di8 'change 3rd letter to 4th vowel.
I'll come back to clue when my mind isn't half on my 9 words left.
8
go jacs! go go go!

bye lb
Pam - I noticed the other day I have 2 Pams as friends on Goodreads. I know one is you. Wonder who the other one is?
'Bye, lb.
Just went off to check on one of my e mail boxes - 11 messages since I last looked about 12 hours ago - all junk bar one. The others were mostly from 'doctors' offering me things for 'me and my mistress', 'me and my ;ady' or to make things I don't even physically possess larger. *sighs*
i smell dinner burning. bbl
de 9 clue please
LoL, jac!!!!
hi, ruru, de + nu*******al value of foods
de9 - wearing away by friction.
Dare I check my other 2 e mail addresses?
Hi GroovyKiwi. Just no6/21d you down there.
i have NEVER seen that de9 before!
hi, groovy and ruru!
hhi pam
di 8 clue?
I've got Skype now (don't tell Nut!). I must sign in and make a name and invite my son (who's currently in The Netherlands) later. Do you get e mails on that, too?
Which di8, ruru? There are 3.
the first one please
Hello again
congrats on finishing this monster, jac!
What's your cookbook, jac? I can't read the writing
Heck! Nut just caught me on MSN. ROFLOL!
that's The Silver Spoon, jilli
Ssh, everyone. Not su4 if she's reading the chatlog.
it is the first english translation of an Italian cookbook, il cucchaio d'argento
Like what's on my granddaughter's nose, lol! (See my flickr pix)
LOLOL, jilli
BTW, g'dau's name is Lois, Lol for short, lol :D
I was delighted to find The Silver Spoon over here just before Christmas.
jili as long as her middle name isn't catherine or cat for short. then she'd be lolcat!
Great, jac!
on 8/40 anyone?
jac, I was told to expect a scolding from you for MY cookbook, lol -- but read about it!
WHERE is hurshy, she should be watching super tuesday with us
Jilli - I'll look for su4 in a moment. Nut's telling me off at the moment. LOL
EEK! She's here now.
JBV -- most on7
LOLOL, jac
ok, thank you, jillibus
ugh...i think i'm going to go throw up, hillary pulled ahead for now
jilli - I have a few microwave cookbooks myself, but rarely use 'em. I do cook my homemade lasagne in the microwave.
I also make risotto in the microwave.
It's just heating pre-packed, salt, sugar and preservative packed meals, that I object to.
I don't boil my lasagne noodles, so baking is easy 8-)
I've been watching the BBC coverage of the US elections over the past 2 evenings and understand what you're all talking about a little better now.
i'm cheering for huckabee. go crazy guy! ban evolution! lol help save canada's national igloo!
bonk, he has a great tax plan
on 5/12 - I have the 5/10 (start of something)
good tax plans from the cuckoo contingent. why not. i have to admit, american politics is far more interesting than canadian, scarier but more interesting.
JBV - on + facial twitch.
thanks, jac - probably the only combination i did not try!
like Rick Mercers says in Canada we choose between a white guy, a skinny white guy and a portly white guy
Rick Mercer
For those of you who say you miss my flickr pics (Lord knows why you do!) I've put the link to them in my bio. Dr_God couldn't help me get the direct link back either, thinks it's a flickr glitch.
y/w, JBV.
cute kittie sukee. yup canadian elections are sort of like choosing your favourite flavour of paste
That facial twitch ends quite a lot of grid words today.
Thanks, yours is cute too
sukee, Rick Mercer is a hoot -- and Bill Maher is hootier
better than choosing your favorite flavor of turpentine...
lol good point dan
bonk, US elections affect the whole world. Canada's barely affect anything.
that would be the scary part i mentioned jilli
yes, good point, dan
I can't watch any returns, my cable is out
The facial twitch ends 9 words and 4 plurals at a rought count.
Or even a rough count.
well..I don't think I will finish this grid... as I haven't even started it
sukee, you can watch CNNpolitics online
Would 'a rough count' be an unshaven one who drank and swore? LOL
I get to vote in the "Potomac Primary" next Tuesday
I have 48 left, S and T words
jac, in my experience, yes
dare I ask your choice, dan?
Nut - Oh my! Should I enquire about how you know on here or on MSN? LOL
I am an Obama guy, jilli
sorry, that would be my lusty romance novels talking
:D dan
LOL, nut. I never had you down as a Mills & Boob fan.
Oops, meant Mills and Boon. *grins*
More a Black Lace, girl, I guess?
hi all -- still have 248 to go, so it's doubtful!
me thinks tis best not to answer
wierd, I have no cable tv but my cable Internet is fine
since I've been voting age, its been Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush...
"since I've been voting age, its been Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush.." so it's your fault eh? lol
LOL, Nut! Did you know that 2,500,000 Mills & Boon novels were pulped to help make the surface of the newish M6 Toll Motorway here in UK?
despite me, bonkler, I assure you...
sukee - i used to get that w/ rogers
whew...half way finally
i don't know what mills and boon is
isn't that coffee?
around here, they're called...um....
oh! harlequinn romances
i'm sad more people didn't get behind chris dodd's campaign. he was easily the best of the bunch imho
Here's a taster, Nut: http://tinyurl.com/2nzjwd
I liked Edwards
I had more than one writer friend that wrote those books. They are formulaic but not that easy to write. One friend, who I met up with at an annual conference used to ask 20 questions on her books and so I HAD to read them.:( I always hated her heroes and her heroines.
ok jac, i gotta say, for me to read it without laughing, it has to be historical. then i can put down the cheesy conversations and thoughts to the time period.
You got it, Nut!
i like julia quinn cause she makes me laugh, and believe me or not, i pass over the more...explicit scenes, mainly cause i think i make up better ones myself.
Wow! Clinton wins Massachusetts in spite of the Kennedy/Kerry endorsements for Obama!!!
four polling stations closed due to storms
Problem was, I hated the heroines because they were too harsh and the heroes because they were wimpish. Another friend who wrote for the same company did the reverse. When I had both in my room asking for constructive crits it was a bit awkward. LOL
LOLOLOLOLOL, jac
what's the re 8/45 (between something a jockey holds and the plural)???
You've been there, Pam, I guess?
can anyone help with the 2nd co 7/32 please
you get them kissing
I have never read one--but I have read the one-step-aboves--names I can't even recall. I was laughing at your description of being wiht your friends.
JVB -- re8/45 -- to stir up again
JBV - re8 = to st4 up again to ri4?
thank you, Jac! and Jillibus!
good clue nurse, but i need the 2nd one, that's #4
Pam - I thought you were once in the crit.editing field like I was. Maybe that was Jellen?
that was jellen
can't get the re8. grrrr
Ah! I hear Jellen's got a pulmonary embolism to deal with right now. I saw her here earlier (late morning here when I signed in) and saw she'd been awake all night. Didn't see why,at time.
2nd co7/32 -- sexy union
who has the embolism???
Jellen does, Pam.
jellen is in hospital as of this afternoon (here) on anticoagulants and says she will be back in a few days
Apparently it was found during a CAT scan.
Oh, that is not good....
but am glad it is being treated...
she seemed confident
No, it's not good Pam, but, hopefully, since it's been found it can be dealt with.
my eyes are going, time to check the email and call it a day. happy babbling all.
thanks for the co jilli!!!
ciao, bonkler
'Bye, Bonkler.
Do you lot like chocolate biscuits?
hehe pablo -- trust a guy to get it, lol!
night bonk
bonk -- hugs for Iggy
jilli - how true! LOL
may i have a xlue please for in9/60? and hi again, all
Sex and feed me figure large in the male cranial cavity.
bye bonkler hi all
Hi again, TO. in9.60 = 'between' or 'bury' + a nodule word.
Hi Stid.
I love Pepperidge Farm Brussels Dark Chocolate and delicate crunch biscuits
ty jacs
It's almost 10pm, neighbour decides it's a good time to start using an electric drill
Stid is not quite in the grid, but she was the other day, what can I say?
LOL
Hi again stid -- watching super Tuesday?
retinue
oops
What a surprise -- Romney wins Utah
hi jili! you should be here, we have a pepperidge farm outlet
And now our local supermarkets no longer carry those goddies, TO
Oh good, jilli. You took the bait. There are thousands of packets of chocolate biscuits on a beach near Blackpool in Lancashire, UK if you like 'sea and biscuits'. The ferry, 'Riverdance', got wrecked there and all the stuff off the lorries it was carrying came off. We will have fat seagulls very soon.
even those goodies
ugh, jac! Salty slushy bikkies!
sukee - Unless your neighbour drills until after 11pm, I hardly think you can complain.
poor jili! you need a care package from your a,erican friends
co 8?
I'm not the only one around here who needs that care package, TO!
cybernan - co8 = to take out cover jointly.
Yes, jilli. But what a waste of chocolate bikkies!
or, nan, co8 -- money + certain
jac, your clue for the co8 is over my head...
jac -- ferry from where to Lancs?
thanks, jilli
Pam try jilli's clue then.
sorry, got distracted by prime factorization (a fascinating subject)
ty jill
stid -- that sounds like (ugh) math!
LOL yeah, but EASY math! (we like easy)
jilli - it was coming from Northern Ireland to Heysham in Lancashire.
nobody hurt, I hope, jac (we love with ferries here!)
I mean we LIVE...)
rofl... they even manage to live with ferries on occasion...
I just knew someone would pick up on that
Nobody hurt.
glad to hear that Jac
just the bikkies, lol
Such a waste of good bikkies.:((
Huckabee going on about "pro-life", in other words, in favour of backstreet abortions with coat-hangers
I agree Jill -- even though I would never abort a normal pregnancy myself, I believe it is a woman's right to choose.
now now jill, check your bloodpressure.
well jili, what would you expect from a baptist minister? i'd never vote for a clergyman.
TO 7/32 after the stuff I use in my computer printer?
*simmering down*
heck stid - you're asking ME ; )
the whole separation of church and state thing is lost on Huckabee--George W, too for that matter
That's the third wreck we've had on our coasts lately. One of the locals, in a Blackpool forum, said, 'Why does everywhere else get useful stuff like BMX bikes and timber? We just get soggy biscuits and sewage!' I found that a bit odd, since Blackpool beaches are supposed to be Bleu Flaf (i.e. sewage free).
nor would i vote for romney nor leiberman nor anyone who wears his religion on his sleeve like a badge
*Blue Flag
Look what theocracies have done
to 7/32 is a monk's hairstyle - bald in the middle
I can't really comment on US politics. Sorry.
no, I have that one, need the other TO 7 please? the first one
I wondered what Flaf was, lol
haven't got to the TO words yet, stid, sorry
*zips it*
oh, sorry, stid, that's all I have right now, still working on the s's
that's okay JBV thanks for trying!
I am down to 42...
me too JBV
43 here, and stid will be finishied in about 5 minutes
good evening all. have 120 left.
no jill, still feverish and headachy.
clueplease for st7/32? ty
hello doxy! go for it!
st 7/32 eludes me still... storry
or sorry
stid - 1st to7 ends with that e+ facial twitch word.
thanks Jac
got it!
hey everyone!
st7/32 = what the driver did to keep the vehicle on course.
I have two st 7/32's - first is past tense of st 5/10 (pilot a ship)
Next st7/32 is a drug bodybuilders often (foolishly) use to bulk them up.
ty jacs!
okay, need the second and third TR 6/18 please?
Hi, Hell on Earth. Nice to 'see' you again. xx
hey helen!
hey hk! hey doxy!
heya jacs! TO! stid!
thanks for those st 7!
Stid - 2nd tr6/18 = tr5/10 (attempts) with a consonant before the last letter.
got that one Jac -- perfect clue
stid - 3rd tr6/18 sounds like a lovers' meeting.
oh! frnech for "sad" I think -- thanks again!
y/w, stid.
okay, now the first and second TE 6/18? my last two T words
stid - 1st te6/18 is what you do on high heels.
*fishbop* thanks!
2nd te6/18 = te + and r4 word.
sc 7/36, please
oh! another fishy! thanks Jac -- I'll have a full aquarium in no time!
><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>¸. ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>
ooh. PRETTY!!!!
JBV - past tense of the sc5 before it.
You have much patience, jac!
cute jacs!
oh, these endings! I keep forgetting one or the other! thank you Jacula
Pam - It's acquired with age, since I'm Taurean. LOL
S words squished
go Jill go!
working on the dratted R words now...
Got all the re words, stid?
di 7/32????
will trade remaining brain cells for 27 words...
how about the first RE 6/21?
Don't do that, stid. It's only a game.
I love those fishies jac.
1st re6.21 = to give metal money again.
re 6/21 - to mint money again
di 7/32: a mineral. Squish together clothing designer Christian di** + a funeral or wedding is a religious r***
then plural of course
Thanks, doxy.
thanks JBV! and Jac!
Jacula that is a work of art! Love it
y/w, stid.
hello inge2!
thanks stid!!
brb
can I have a clue for se 6/18, 7/28 - ???
Hi Stidmama :-) nice to see you
wow. got the that RE 8/45 by _thinking_ *faints*
hi inge
se 6/18: se + what you control a horse with; then plural
hi helen!
stid, lol
thanks, stid!
i can't believe i still have 125 to go
anyone have the 10? I don't even know what it starts wtih...but I'm guessing um...RE
yes, the 10 is a plural de 9/60
Inge2 = it's de
hmmm...thanks!
16...
thunder, lightning, tornadoes!
Stid recovered remarkably quickly from her fainting fit!
need the second RE 8/45 please?
oh no Uneaixoise! stay safe!
it's my last R...
stid - that's to take out safety cover jointly.
second re 8/45 is to provide coverage again (Prudential, Mutual of Omaha, etc.
Where did Nut go?
so "detestion" is not a word, lol
hm. *thinking*
I hope nut is asleep by now... she has to work in the morning!
oh! thanks Jac and JBV!
I think detestation might be a word, but not in this grid.
thanks, JBV!
Rs and Os gone.
Nut was on my MSN earlier. I signed in on Live for the first time since I got it and up she popped.
now for N words. eleven of them.
ten...
NE 7 please?
*Girds loins to help Stid with ni words, trying hard not to think of Monty Python sketch about the knights who say, 'Ni!'
I have one of the last two se 5/10's but don't know if it's the first or second - also need the last se 6/18
ne + a movie reviewer is a c*****
ne7, stid, ends with that facial twitch.
well, there's mother anne SE*** of course; and SE *** (poison gas, alternate spellign)
JBV do you have se + 2000 lbs?
got it thanks Jac
thanks also Une!
thanks, I had the gas, it was the saint I needed (or is she just blessed?)
yw ;-)
thanks, stid and une!
I only need one Ni, and it's fishy, so will instead ask for the first NO 6?
JBV - se + heavy weight then plural it.
no + et4/5
yes, it was fishy! glad I refrained... down to 8
stid - no + pagan ritual word.
no7 is the plural.
hm. thinking...
got that one.
three to go
ri**s of passage, stid?
TWO....
You have got the IDEA, Stid? no6.18 and its plural?
oh, jeez, finally down to ONLY 100 to go . . .
hm. still need the FIRST NO 6/21
You have taken no6/21 of all the clues?
did you see my clue at 9:40?
You are a no7/32, stid?
hey just joined how do you play?
Ah, 1st no6/21 rhymes with what the works of people who write verses are.
I didn't see it beofre Une, did now, down to ONE!
hello glennie -- this is a tough one to start with... LOL
Hello, Glennie. Click on the 'Help' button above.
I knew it!!! And I still have 27 T words left -- must go and get supper -- gogogo stid!!!
go stid go!!
Heh, I just joined too. Well, the other day.
if you have played boggle, this is similar. Find word (four-letter minimum) and they have to touch in a corner or on the side
welcome newbies!
come back soon Jill -- I don't have the energy to stay up too long
OMara - my kids tell me that when I say, 'the other day' it could be two years' past!
hello omara
and that was the last one for me. FIREWORDS!!!!
Haha Jacula
yay, stid!
YAY stiddie!!! You rock!
wow, congrats, stid!!
ah yes, I remember that video from when it aired.
*rocking and rolling and uncorking the bubbly*
Ironically, I had played this a long time ago for a couple days, but I forgot about it until last week.
Well done, stid. What WAS your last one?
Now be a good girl and take care of yourself and get rid of the bug
the no 7 that ended like the no 6/18 I asked for
way to go stid!!!
yes ma'am Jill ma'am ;-)
I keep drifting between the election stuff on CNN and the SVU re-run on tv (House is on DVR to watch when i am able to focus).... Guess I am only babbling on a lark tonight...
I have turned off the TV. I am SO SICK AND TIRED of people who just like to hear themselves talk...
wow Im stuck on words
OMara - you FORGOT to Babble? You have Another Life?? SHOCK! HORROR! LOL.
supper now -- back later for that last 27 -- ttfn all
later Jill! (((hugs)))
'Bye, jilli.xx
except me, of course, I LOVE to hear myself talk...
Yes, well I had to send my computer in for over a month to fix, and when I got it back I had forgotten.
glennie and omara, there is a great resource you might like to check out also -- angelsong's pages (link at the bottom of this page) really helped me when I was new
Of course you do, Stid, that's why you have blogs. *Note to self... start a few blogs soon.*
we had pancakes for supper... wondering if I should serve salad for dessert?
you should Jac-- your readership would be incredible!
I remember using BabblersAnonymous when I started for hints on what words started with, and how long/how much they were worth.
Lost cause, stid! You can all walk to work in the morning instead.
BJ's list, OMara.
yes -- BJ's list there is helpful, and lickety's pages have been upgraded a lot also -- many of us are now using lickety as first resort...
I'll have to check that one out on the next grid then.
Much as I love Lickety and am grateful to him for his list when BJ's off working, I still can't see the point of getting a list of clues to start before you've even looked. That's just me though.
Is that what lickety's does, Jac?
but then Jac, you're not like one of us ordinary humans, you can actually hold more than one thought in your brain at one time!
pam - what?
Yeah, I agree Jacula. Always good to go until you're stuck before resorting to clues.
a list of clues?
stid - LOL. Not so. I can only hold about 5 thought in my brain before I forget to turn the oven off.
some days, when I have all the time in the world and the grid isn't hugely difficult, I can manage the whole grid with NO list. But that isn't very often...
pam - I see a list of all of the words' first 2 letters laid out with a yes or no thingey, as a list of clues.
glennie -- how's it going for you? do you need any other explanations?
Well, then my hat is off to you. I'd never do that.
gotcha, jac. I just haven't been to lickety's so I was curious...
well, I want to find my old ic4 and put it back where it belongs. back in a few...
I don't go to any of those sites--lickety's or bj's so I was just asking...
pam - s'okay. Get off the defensive there, girl!xx
oh well, can't reach my server. Things have been weird electrically today.
rofl, jac!
Have you had tornadoes there, stid?
*yawn* very sleepy
no, but winds and a lot of rain. the power has flickered a couple times and our server isn't on a surge suppressor...
Tom keeps talking about getting one, but...
In another way, pam, I take your point. ;)
*sigh* more memory or drives usually take precedence
do 7?
A surge suppressor is cheap. Get one, Stid!
cyber - do7 = the most loving mother. Or the daftest without the 2nd 't'.
do 7 is: is the most do 5/12
ty jacula
You found her then, cyber? LOL
guess I don't have that do 5/12, LOL
pam - do5/12 is one who do4's.
That might also appl to the first do5/12, which is someone who gives.. to charity perhaps.
Ends with 2 vowels the same, btw.
I still have over 200 to go. Got sidetracked with making food again.
Think I will quit for the night. See y'all tomorrow. Ni-night
I am lost, sorry...
sweet dreams autumn!
Okay, pam, let's get you back on track...
no t possible, jac, LOL
do4/5 (2nd) = over with/finished/completed.
got that, jac
dones
do5/12 = same + repeat the end vowel.
do6/21 = same again but plural it.
30 left, all S words.
LOL--sorry...
ok, got that now, thanks much, jac!
do4/5 following = puts clothes on.
have that one, jac
do4.5 following that = to love, to ado**! Knock the a off.
ok, have that, too!
sorry all, I am really drifting. going to call it a night. {{{everyone}}} see you-all again soon! (go doxy go!) *poof*
Have you got the do6/21 after that, Pam?
night stid.
'Night, stid.

to4 - past tense of foot digit
I realise this is an imporant time politically for the USm and it will filter down to us in UKm since our present politicians all seem to be lapdogs.

I am somewhat p*ssed off that this is so.
thanks, doxy, but I have that, that's the to4/5
there's one right after that
to4 - take off the last letter of the to5
Anyone know anything about the politics of New Zealand or Tasmania? I'm tempted to both if I'm forced to leave UK by prattish politicians.

just rearrange the last two letters
ni7.......place that does business after dark, and pl
ni7: ni4/4 + plural of a category of places - e.g. restaurants = eat*****

Good Night all. TY for putting me out of my misery 8)

re8.....to agitate again
1st re8: re + encourage someone to do something, in a subversive manner

ur6 is the tube you pee through.

I wish I never started this grid
Ill forget otherwise. Dashes off for the last 68
Isn't it funny how we all resort to describing thingeys/thingies when pushed? But does any known dictionary contain any of those words? Of course not!
as an act of mercy, given this horridly too big grid, I'm back to help clue
more clues please..............keep em comin........
co 7s and 8s please?
co 9?
hey, tyger. i'm down to 17 :)
co 9 too??????
TRyger my dear missed you
ty tyger. ty
co9 is the plural of the co before it,
I've missed you, too, (((herin))) :)
which co7 ?
Actually, it's the verb form rather than the plural.
cant talk lickety ate words frantic last few
co8/9 combo: co + what you buy to protect your car, your house/apt, other stuff you'd want to replace if lost
the 8 is the verb; the 9 is the noun for the person you buy it from
I might just amble off to bed shortly. *grins*
insurance???????doesnt start with co............
i'm having deja vu
hey back to all who greeted me :)
last co 7/8 combo, pls?
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsorry all...............got it
i need help with most of the re 7/28 except 1st one
1st co7/8 combo: a form of the word describing the climax of sex, and plural
found them!!
a bunch of re7s have to do with ceasing to work at age 65 or thereabouts
there's PT, noun for person doing it, and plural
dcs - ring-tailed pests + formal neck wear for men is co7. co8 is the plural.
ty tyger
Make that pest, not pestS!
jac wet fish please
re8/45 also has to do with what I clued for the co8/9
Kaz, you want the fish pic again?
><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>¸. ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>
uh huh
last co7/8: an in-group of people (French word)
whoa, jac!
Jac that is pretty
very cool
lol ty
de6/8 is a pair - when you hold someone/thing in disgust
well missed the sex co words. i must be spelling it wrong. otherwise thannks so so much tyger.
I'm off to my coffin now. Happy Babbling!
1st re 7/28?
NIght my dear
on 7/28 clue please
thx for help and fish Jac
de9/10: rubbing away/erosion - related to the con word for when you're sorry for something wrong you've done
later, jac
coitus = sex - tale first 4 letters and work from there.
GOODNIGHT!xxx
2nd co7/8: think of those critters that kids accuse each other of having in elementary school, and add a one hump after the double vowel
got that jac but havent been able to work with it. ty will keep going.
last CE 6/21 pls?
on 7 anyone?
the di7 & 2 di8 words have to do with a dark rock - the 8s are plural and adjective
crankier, ruru
on7/8 - a slang word for someone obstreperous
both are adjectives
last ce 6 is like the mints but add a vowel before the end
comparatives, in fact
one of the ce6s is a bright red color
not enough letters in only mint i know that resembles that, nikii
add a vowel dc
cerulean, tyger ?
just before the last letter
the mint's name is not long enough to work
the only one i know that starts with a CE that is.
okay, will try another path...
the clump of te6/7 words are based on the preceding te4/4 (an exam), and include a noun, a comparative, and the last 3 (2 7s & 8) have a double round vowel before consonant
fireworks, finally!
congrats, jilli!!!!
use the ce word that means convinced ce**tain, and add a vowel and a plural
last to7/32 is a monk's haircut
yay jilli!
di dark rock, please reclue cant get.
yay, jilli
congrats, jillibus!!
nied
hi dc, tyger, nrkii!!!
firewods !!!
di7/32: Christian Di** + opposite of black - wh***
wtg dc!
i think i'd've finished hours earlier today by not using expert LOL
yay, DC
hey, jilli
i did figure it out from mint, nikii, ty!
still need help with re 7/28 1st one please
ty almost half way...............then sleep.
there's a whole set of comparatives for the word for coal dust
got the di word tyger ty.
bury again, kaz
coal dust????????what is that?
np dc, glad I could help some
bury a body again, that is, koz
never got the sex co words. funny. monkeyed a lot........oh well.
tyger first di 8? did you clue it?
following the apprentice doctor word, the in8/9 combo is a compound word for connecting things together, 2nd part is like what you do with shoelaces
mkg, have you ever heard the schoolhouse rock song conjunc**** junc****?
1st di8 is plural of preceding di7
it's the dark rock :)
yes...........i know the rock song........
ty dc
i must off to bed, as i must be awake in 4.5 hrs, happy gaming, all, and to all a good night/day. :) {evaporates}
di8/50 is a misspelling of the pills that help you excrete excess fluids
try the sex word in a similar fashion
later, DC
ty ty got the di.
bye dc
do5/6 is combo - words are for people who give things to others, build on preceding do4/5
bfn dc -- will missya
yw, MKG
clue requests?
first in 7/32 please
sorry cant get the sex one still i must be very tired. anyway got half way and that was my goal so gnight all.
night mkg
1st in7/32 - someone who (usually with stealth) tries to get others to do something, often a misdeed
in 6/18 please
the 7 is the noun, and this word appears elsewhere in the grid with prefixes
#1
ruru, which one?
in6/18: to put into something - following 8 is PT
in6/18 -- to put into
2nd in6/18 is an apprentice doctor
19 left arghhhh
going to get new ic4
3rd in6/18 is to speak melodically
4th in6/18: to remove electrons from atoms (Brit spelling)
cant get that in 7/32
finally fireworks!!!
all of those in7s are built on preceding 6s
yay, pablo
congrats, pablo!
i dont have the preceding in 6 for that one...probably why i cant get the 7 lol
there's a whole raft of words built on fo4/7 - your pedal appendage
in 9 please
without knowing which one you need, kazozz, I really can't help. I've clued every single one of them!
some more than once
in9: in + ***ritory + when you've got a cold in your schnozz, you say it like this
ruru, people speak of those places as change spots in a network
sorry tyger its the very 1st in 6/21 and then the 7 after it
hi everyone
hey, CRPW
nice icon tyger
1st in6/21: in + when you write a scholarly paper, you **** references
that word is also the root with many prefixes elsewhere in this grid
thx, CRPW. I thought it was very seasonal :)
I don't see the first in 9 another clue please
1st in9 has same prefix as 2nd one - the root is: when your sinuses are stuffed, you might mispronounce that thing that sticks out on the front of your face this way
lol
morning all!!
got it
only other thing I could do is clue it letter by letter. Do you want that?
that was cute ( that thing that sticks out on the front of your face)
great, ruru
hey, pink
hi pink
well, I didn't want to say the word :D
hi ruru
hi cr
ro 5/10 please
boy my A** is whipped on this grid
i know, i dont even clue cause i can never give a good clue plus i am so slow at it
hey crpw, and tyger!!
my eyes are smarting. I'm still minus on sleep from *last* nite, but this grid was just too awful to abandon people, when I knew there couldn't possibly be too many cluers, and probably not enough
et 6/18 plese
sometimes I'm slow at clueing, because I try to think of ways to do it without being obvious
et6 forever and ever like spelling
et6/18 often appears in grids - it's a poetic word for "forever"
almost a snap, pink :)
almost lol
er 7 please
there are some Babblers who are fantastic cluers. I'm not that, but I do try
thanks tyger got it
er7: er + 2nd person PT of to be + something that makes your eye blink
yw, ruru
i watch and learn so i can be a cluer later
ro 5/10 anyone?
nm
forgot my plural again
ro5/10 is plural of preceding
ro5 = plural of ro4
we can always use more help, CRPW
:)
i have moments when i can be really good, or really bad. like you crpw if there is a hard word being clued, i'll remember it for later on
I guess 242 is the best I can hope for.
i am getting there, just dont want to screw up and confuse people
I don't think anybody would get mad at you for trying, but I'm not trying to push you into doing it before you feel ready, either :)
that's very respectable for this grid, OMara!
I'm getting an error message about a script making IE run slowly -- and I'm using Firefox -- anyone understand this?
Thanks.
how long have you been playing?
not a clue, jilli, sorry
I was working on it almost all day though.
well ... got down to 67
I refuse to state how many hours I spent on it :P
Playing just today? Or my 'career' as a Babbler?
how long have you been Babbling, OMara? That's what I meant :)
very good, natts
i had a script also but i just clicked no and i am having no problems
I started a year ago for a month or so under a different name (I forgot), but when I lost my computer I stopped.
hey, natts, i got down to 38 . . .
i don't get the er 7 another clue please
I came back like three or four days ago though.
2nd tr 6/18 please
that's great, Une
I hope the next grid is a lot smaller and a lot kinder
me too, had a long day with one
A nicer grid would be awesome, maybe not smaller though.
2nd tr6/18: sounds like making an effort - plural
I second your wish, jilli
smaller and much nicer please
look, all theb lurkers are out Unea, Jilli, and Lady good morning to you!!
no, I don't like them over about 250 max
boy I haven't been here at this time in a long time!!!
