my phantom for today: cowardice
just came on to see how big the grid is - moonwoof I think your icon is the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!
Thanks mamabear =) It was a gift for yesterday.
and hello to everyone else, too!!!!!
I thought it wasnt too bad for a Valentine. Did you have a good day?
It was ok..... and you?
It was also just ok. I had to work. But it didnt go too badly. the weather was beautiful.
I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and was glad the weather was a bit warmer than it has been.
and it's nice that the grid is going quickly =)
I haven't entered any words yet!
morning everyone i think my hot water and heating might be going on today 10 days
Morning cool. Good to hear it might be over soon!
You're in MN..... you're up late, too
morning cool girl
10 days without heat and water???? YIKES
everything in my house feels like ice even my clothes
Actually, I'm currently in Arizona... I should see about changing that, ty for the reminder. But yes. I dont sleep much
Babbling is a nice quiet night activity that doesnt wake the hubby =)
hi mamabear yes 10 days and its freezing
unless it's one of the evil grids... those I have to do during the day, so I can curse occassionaly.
I've been having trouble sleeping lately...
LOL, yes I know what you mean, moon
that's awful, cool girl....
but I think I better go try, before it's time to wake up again
then I hope that your appointment was helpful, today, mama.
Good luck, but I hope you wont need it =)
The appt wasn't for that - I was in a car accident on 1/15 and have been off work since - it was a follow up with my neurosurgeon
I had no idea, sorry to hear, mama. If the insomnia is related, I hope it works out for you, soon. Very much so.
I don't know if it is.. between pain and drugs and being off schedule, everything is out of whack
i empathize. Sleep affects a lot more than many people seem to think.
And pain isnt any fun At All.
yes it does... and I also have fibromyalgia, which aggravates everything
That's all it would take. fms is fairly harsh, if I understand my friend correctly.And an accident to boot. ouch
I shall send good thoughts your way, then, that you may sleep sweetly tonight, when you need =)
thank you very much, and I hope the same for you, moon
Thank you, I appreciate it =)
thanks for the chat, hope to see you again soon, moon
So far cursing is very minimal, so you have that to look forward to.
LOL..... ok - maybe will give the grid a go tomorrow
I hope so, too, mama. Thank you as well.
good night.....
Sleep sweetly, mamabear. Sweet dreams
sweet dreams to you, too.
Thank you. I hope I need them =D
Dreaming is wonderful - there is a poem I wrote about Dreams in my profile, if you would like to read it sometime.....
night mammabear
i would! Thank you for mentioning it. I dont look at the profiles as much as I used to.
night cool - hope you warm up soon so you are "warm girl"
missed mamabear :( Bye mamabear.... *hug*
{{{{{sprite}}}}}
hi sprite
didn't miss you entirely :D *big hug* back.
hi cool, how's the heating going?
still dragging my fingers on the way to the log out button, sprite
but NOW I am going...... have a good day everyone *poof*
am glad you did, mamabear. So I had the chance to hug you.
I'm afraid i may have distracted her for you, Sprite =)
good work, woof :D
ok I didn't really poof yet
doh! I'm busted.
lolllll
LOL
Dern internet. Good thing you can't see me blushing LOL
I'm glad we had a chance to hug too, sprite - it's been a while
it is, mama. Hope you are well?
anyone who teaches a dog to balance a candy heart on their nose is good in my book
Actually, I have been off work since Jan 15 when I had a car accident
I agree, mamabear!
darn! So that was not a minor accident. What was hurt and how are you doing?
hey all.
Hi everyone.
I came away better than my poor car (pics are in my profile) which is now owned by the insurance company since they totaled it
Hi bfsog and marmar!
hi Marmar, hi bfsog :)
I have existing conditions that were worsened, sprite - back and neck problems and fibromyalgia
Well, I wish I had the time to teach one of the dogs to do that... The closest I've gotten to that so far is that they sit sometimes =D
Mamabear, just read your profile...I love polar bears too, always have! Have you heard about Knut at the Berlin zoo?
biggish one today, expect after yesterday i guess
Hiya Marmar and Bf. Morning and all that =)
Hi ya Sprite!
yes I did marmar.... he is TOOO cute
Sweet story!
mamabear, that looks real ugly. How are you?
Moon, how are you doing?
the one in this pic in my icon is Hudson, born at Brookfield Zoo December, 2006
I mean, are you healing already?
Actually, bf, it's not too bad, so far... Give Sprite half an hour and she'll be able to tell ya if it's bad, or not.
lol woof
I just started
Doing well, Mar, ty for asking. Been working lots.
I am in alot of pain, Sprite.... having trouble sleeping, side affects from meds.... but one day at a time
I like the teeth cleaning picture. that's adorable!
that is shitty stuff to go through, mamabear. I will send you lots of tender hugs and healing vibes. Pain sucks. Not being able to sleep too.
I've been avoiding just that Moon (work I mean) Having Marcus home with me all week has been fun. We've played a lot of games, music, Babbled...it's just lke a kindergarten here!
Stop the berating, Spritie... You're gonna fly thru this.
Yes, Sprite.... but had appt with my neurosurgeon today and he said I don't have to have more surgery, so that's good
ha, that IS good news, mamabear. I am happy with the silver lining for your cloud.
I was wondering who your cohort was, Mar. I hadnt realized you still had a bug at home... that's been a while now.
woof, is msn dead again?
Actually, right now, I would rename it Flickr =P
A whole week. Now he just has a bad cold. Fever for first three days this week and now just coughing and blowing his nose a lot.
that would be SO adequate a name!
but if I have to go back to work next week, they are going to have to figure something out, cuz I won't drive taking narcotics that I'm on
Mama, I wish you a speedy and full recovery!
thanks, Marmar!!! Sorry you have a sick child, but glad you enjoyed your time together
That sounds like a safe idea mama. Perhaps they can help tho. A more normal schedule might help you, too.
It's bittersweet. Thanks.
Yes, from me too, mamabear. Morning all. I got two Valentine cards yesterday, one from my guy and one from the cat! How about everyone else?
Good that he's getting it out of his system, Mar.
Like Spring cleaning =)
crazy stuff, mamabear. You shouldn't have to go to work just yet.
thanks hydra....
I agree sprite, will you write a letter for me?
hi hydra. No Valentines, but I wrote my love a love letter and made him cry, so it was good. :)
But like you said. One day at a time is a Very good strategy.
no problem, mamabear
Morning Hydra
Thanks Moon. We are now about to choose between reading a book or drawing a picture. You all take care. See you tomorrow!
I have lived with chronic pain for a long time - have learned to deal with it by mind over matter, will just have to work on that plan harder
bye marmar!!! enjoy your day
Morning, moon. Oh sprite - you should be writing romantic novels!
bye Marmar!
good to see you this time, and I hope sooner for the next, Mar! Have fun with Marcus.
lol hydra... I write fantasy. More my style, grin.
no valentine's here.....
mamabear: take care of yourself, hun. I know living with pain and mind over matter, and the danger is that you easily force yourself to do too much. Because once you have crossed the limit, there are no limits anymore. Try and be gentle with yourself, ok?
OK.... I think my eyelids are finally ready (fingers crossed)..... good night everyone and thank you all for the well wishes!!!! {{{{bear hugs to all}}}}
Well, I can fix that, since i didnt see you yesterday. Happy Valentine's day, Mamabear. I'm sorry I cant hug you gently to go with it, but I Can try to send chocolate!
Oh, of course you do. I'd forgotten. Sorry... And mamabear, a stupid card doesn't mean anything really. We all love you!
I got one. But it was a good one, so all I needed.
you are absolutely right, Sprite - that is exactly what I do......
mamabear: hearts and bears and cuddles from me... your anonymous sprite Valentine ;)
And sweet dreams. you still get sweet dreams, too. Very soon.
Oh gosh, you all are gonna make me cry..... thank you very much for the love and caring..... babble friends are the BEST!!!!
Back attcha, mamabear. Thank you for being You.
*seconds woof*
good night.... and thank you.
but no need to cry when you're not sucking. Just make sure to come check tomorrow night =D
Sweet dreams and may you wake up pain-free.
good night
hi egbokmom
Hello egbokmom
You still there, sprite and moon? It's gone spookily quiet.
Sorry. I actually put some words in =D
sorry, yes, am here, but distracted. Too many things at the same time.
It was novel {{grin}}
No harm in that!!
Progress report: I've got as far as the h's.
Ok, I felt better before I found you were already thru H LOL
from the bottom up, I think, hydra?
Oh, how I wish! 128 still to find.
ah, thought you always babbled from the bottom up, my bad. Still: great job!
I'm still at 140 LOL
il try and get to 150 without list, lol, but im busy this afternoon so only got 4 hours.
evil vowel words =P
I keep seeing cowardice. It is terrible.
That would be. Knock it off.
Seeing cowardice? I'm feeling it, faced with this grid!
oh, woof, ea6/7 combo, compounds.
that is no cowardice, hydra, that is common sense, lol
when the things you hear with go bald, they will need these
yay i greyed a square!
I'm seconding that. It's always better to attack the grid fully prepared. Face mask, pencil, Hard hat, and thongs.
Congrats B!
Ooh! Got on a roll with the ho words and just pasted in 6. Wish it would allow hoss. Well done bfsog.
wtg bfsog!
it was the bottom right o, lol but its a win
if that is the bottom left, I understand :)
yeah sorry, my monitor is upside down
I have 2 a's down =P
small wonder you are finding this a tough grid, grinnnnn
hi all!
the little ones lol
Hiya M!
hey guys... probably going to bed soon, but thought i'd get started
hey MVA! Good morning!
hi Rows
Hiya rows.
what's the icon theme?
Hello mva and Rows
horrible time tis morning, logged onto babble and the keyborad froze!!!!
i dont know tonight, actually, rows, sorry
:O that is bad MVA
arrrrgh MVA, not a pleasant way to start your day!
haha okay i'll stop being lazy and just look for myself
ah, it's taking a word from the grid
I had something like that... But it was mostly that I had to pull out all the splinters I'd gotten today before I could use the keyboard =)
had to wait til husbandd got up to sort problem out, 2 hours without babble!
ever heard of gardening gloves, woof? Tsk tsk.
Yeah, except I don't garden. I have a black thumb... this was just from painting =P
Stuck on the in words so I'm going to start work now. Bye all. Happy Babbling :)
"Morning honey, here is your coffee! It is a bright and sunny morning... well, it isn't, but drink your coffee and get your cute butt over here...."
But you're here Finally, M. Good luck!
woof, I KNOW it wasn't from gardening. Doesn't mean you can't wear the gloves!
Cya Hydra. Have a good day!
lol sprite!
bye hydra
no WAY I would wait 2 hours, lol.
bye hydra
hard to pain in gloves, I'd think... but there isnt any good way to paint some stuff without grabbing something for balance, so splinters. =P
tsk tsk tsk
and we make our own gloves... but if I can Not use them and sell them instead, and I only get a handfull of splinters, Im taking the cash. lol
someone recently told me about taking care of one's self... let me see, who might that have been.... someone who gives a good example of course....
I Was. =P Splinters = pita = unused gloves = cash = food =D
That's a Fine example.
the pita piece is where you are off!
nah. My hands are used to it, actually. I would have gotten them out sooner, if I'd noticed them this afternoon =P
after an evening most just popped right out lol
grin. Moonwoof goddess of the cacti
not a chance. Those things are sentient and Evil.
I think they may also be heatseeking.
recently saw a picture of some of them, in spain. THey were called: mother-in-law's stools.
I swear. When I walk the dogs if I even go Close to one of the things they Nail me. Even from 10 ft.
LOL nice!
I dont know that you could call these the same, tho. I'll send you some pictures of Spike, my nemisis.
He never gets the dogs, he waits for me.
He lets them pull me in close and them POINK right on the arm.
these are round and not so high, just the right size and height for a stool. Not pleasant to sit on, though, but hey.
okay my icon is changed
it is now a clue for one of the words :)
Right, these are either really tall, or really bushy. Spike is both.
hehehe Rows, nice one, but had it already.
woof, it can't walk. It is not a triffid. So stop walking past it too close!
i figured people would... but oh well, i haven't gotten all that far yet myself
I'm serious, Sprite. They're heatseeking.
gotten 58 words so far
ty rows
just nagging that it did not give me another word, Rows. You picked a great one.
Even if they aren't triffids, they're loaded and ready to fire at a moments notice. Much like any 4 year old.
hehe
thanks :)
i just got another word that might've been a better pick for my icon clue
oh well
ss
lol woof... seems like I need to teach your cacti manners, like I did my 4yos.
the ec words
possible. I'll take strategic pictures and we can plan an offensive that wont get me arrested.
ec words. Hmz. Nope, not yet. :)
don't have any ec words
well, lemme know if you want any help
me niether. Yet.
grok, or, ungrok, as the case may be
It's not e-cactus. I just checked.
i tend to find the weirdest words first and then the plain ones that should be obvious are always the ones left
lol BabbleRabble. Good to see you. Rows, please do. I can't make any ec words so far.
Morning BR I grok, as often as possible.
hi babrab
it's something you eat, it's sweet... creamy a lot of the time
like a pastry
thanks Rows!
:) glad it helped
ty rows, would like to have one now!
it did :D
tyvm, rows. and now a small break for eating.
b r b
a number of c's are inhaled
haha, did that make you hungry?
just found ag8 :)
yay sprite!!
i really shouldn't have baked these cookies
took me long enough, lol. Let me know if you want a clue!
i end up eating too many :P
state
oops!!
no rows, I'm that way normally. Congrats sprite =)
aver
lol MVA. Recently even OOPS was in the grid. That was a fun day :)
it was indeed
phantom: delphically
im stopping at 71 words
lol, yeah, that is very almost there
gotta get up early for my 8 am ballroom dance class
well done, Rows!
if you are blind, or can't see
sleep well then and enjoy the class
or have a vivid imagination
enjoy rows
have never seen ballrooms dance
just give them room and they will have a ball
can also say I have never seen lobes with toupees either
me neither... most are proudly bald
I was just wondering how I could make that one my icon...
im passed the half century mark
when I was a kid I got that word and bed bugs mixed up all the time. It amused my grandpa.
and still so goodlooking, bfsog!
Congrats Bf! vgj
haha why thank you, im not bad i suppose!
not at all :)
it's been a lifelong ambition of mine to go into space, and now I hear the UK dont want to fall behind in the space race, an unmanned probe in 2013 and Man in space by 2020.
that could be me!
the As are giving me backtalk!
must go and do some ironing, aargh!!
pyromania
MVA, off to the sinbin, LOL! And bye ;)
nice, bfsog.
if you can't beat them, burn them, BabbleRabble!
Slap em around! You can teach a 4yo, but not a's! Buck up woman. You can do it!
how did i not see those!!
i have no a's yet!
hah.... got the last one. Some pretty weird As for me.
ae 5 add stealth org in us
bye!
I tried to warn you tho... the a's are All Over.
ar + sensitive front part of leg(s)
legs have compassion?
and as6/21, kind of wood + place where animals live minus last vowel
not with me, BabbleRabble
hey woof, just fyi... I made the As toe the line. Now for the Os, lol.
better than the horticultural librarian.
I wish you luck. May you not need it. =)
ah, that one did not look weird to me. But I guess it should have.
definition-wise I believe it's actually someone who likes equal parsels of land lol
equagrarimaniac
or 6/7 association of consumers
LOL that sounds like an evil aquarium!
that is another game, woof... insaniquarium :D
thanks BabbleRabble!
that's all the Os for me.
told you youd whip thru this one =P
don't forget the russian ruler(s)
ah, and a compound. Stuff that will make you cry.
that's just gr5.14 (misspelled) lol
like fisherman's friend
still need 5 S words though, woof.
a whole 5?! {{gasp}}
i will prob never be able to help sprite, but sa4,4 food condiment
ah... thanks bfsog! Parsley sa4 rosemary and errrr
I'm going to guess she's missing the drill instructor.
thyme
Sa4 and Pepper, sprite
drill instructor, hmz
yup. a nickname for a military rank.
ah thanks, BabbleRabble, indeed thyme. And yes, the sister of pepper too, but I already had that one. Great clue, bfsog, could be good for both :D
bilko
nope, I got that one, woof
Bf was right... what was i thinking??
toots, almost, and article
ah, plural male deer...
the z's - i have the z05,20 to do with areas i guess
sprite = collector of forgotten plurals
zi4/9 and zo4/9, neither are areal
2 more S words... a 4 and a 5
I think I needto pack it in for a night...

herin i dont smell anything
good
G'd morning Babblers! Greyed out bottom 5 letters without Lickety's, so I'm on a union coffee break. :-)
good morning Lori
Yah Lori
Is the weather down there being kinder to ya' today Nono?
Hi everyone... how's it ging?
G'd morning Jandy
Or even going?
Need a shower but ok Jandy and you?
a bit lori
cloudy today but supposed to be in mid 30's
Beautiful day today... low 20s, sun shining and Friday. What more could a girl's heart desire?
LOL, a refreshing change then Nono. :-)
Except to finish this grid!
hi Jandy
That is true
yep at least temperature wise
brb shower time and then a bit of rest babble then bed
would sure like to see the sun a bit more tho
Good start for you Lori... I'm learning to loathe and fear C words...
Sun was out when it rose, but the clouds quickly came in and took care of that. :(
That ar5/14 has me stumped. Can anyone help plz?
Hi Nono - where are you that the weather is so ordinary?
LOL Jandy, I save my loathing for re's, but c's cane rank right up there
Hello all.
A stone...
Hi Scrabbler. How are you?
I am deciding what to loathe in today's grid.
Jandy - was that a clue for me??? What kind of stone?
ar + not a guy but a ***
Oh, join me in loathing the Cs!!!
Morning Scrabbler
G'd morning Scrabbler
Thanks! for that one.
G'd morning all! A 200+ grid and I finally have the time~!
Well, it was, but Lori has the clue for the question you actually asked!
Get the clue Sandie?
OK, Jandy. Arrrggghh, darn C words!
yvw, G'd morning #1
Thanks - there's strength in numbers...
Jandy I am in the southern part of New York state
For the life of me I cannot see how that ar5/15 fits - even though I got it from the clue. Just can't the pattern.
Bottom A.
Oh, that should be nice and crisp this time of year, Nono. I get to NJ for work now and again, and it's refreshing.... to say the least...
Goes right, then left Sandie. :-)
yes it is crisp... but i prefer nice and warm lol
Ah yes - I was looking in totally the wrong place.
Me too... just booked three weeks holiday in Thailand... the sea is like bath water! Heaven!
oh that does sound wonderful Jandy
***still drinking coffee, pretending to be finished, with a mere 187 left to go....***
It's all that keeps me going to work.... that and the fear of an impoverished retirement!
clues for the 7s and the 8 plz
Wow Lori! Finished so soon! That's amazing!!!
ag8 sounds like the lady who tells you shhh in the library
G'd morning mm. I'm afraid the only thing I can offer, is ec 6/7 combo, a yummy pastry treat
Congrats, Lori. **playing into Lori's fantasy of being done**
***appreciates Scrabblers indulgence of my mental state***
***It's not like 185 is a lot***
get my 6/7 combo mm?
185 is nothing Lori therefore you are as good as done!
This is called reality therapy, Lori--I am not challenging your concept of your reality, LOL.
I have 193 to go!
: -)
yes i did lori ty
how many words are there to find?
y v w
229
thanks
anytime maccas
mm, another 7, is a 6/7 combo, ea 6/36 7/52, those annyoing little bugs, that wear not toupees but ***s..... :-)
CHilly here this morning. I think I am just going to dry up and blow away in the wind.
**5 minutes of silence...Babblers are concentrating on grid**
ty again lori
LOL Scrabbler, that's like a Babble record methinks
Oh, the vow of silence was broken. Hi RTH! I was looking at a map of NM last night.
y v w
I am going to cross-country ski this afternoon with a friend, after morning tennis.
G'd morning red. Don't wither! :-)
How was that Scrabbs?
I saw you there, RTH. Tiny little black dot.
LOL Scrabbler, Lately I feel Like a little black dot, but...I feel better today.
For the moment.
Life is full of uncertainty, isn't it, RTH?
Yes, unfortunately, for me this is the case, but I know in the end things will work themselves out.
Yes, just be patient and you will be guided along.
I scored another mm, te 7/36 what the cops throw in cannisters, to smoke ya' out
TY Lori.
And TY scrabbler.
You are good at this, Lori! I stop at 4 letters usually.
My goal for the day is to not use Licketys. That usually goes out the window, in an hour or 3...... :-)
Okay, gonna start the grid now! :)
And, RTH, you have your Babble teammates to guide you too. Who shall our sponsor be? (e.g. Julio has Aquafina)
Uni, have you just been staring at the grid/chat for the last 15 minutes?
morning Uni
get to work young lady! :-)
Half an hour, really Scrabbler
***wonders if mm got the te 7***
ty again and again lori
Did you fall back asleep, Uni?
I can shut up if you want mm. Sometimes I just get carried away. :-)
**bowing to Lori** We are not worthy of your clues.
Was getting a google desktop sidebar...weather on my desktop! I'm easily distractable
No, keep 'em coming lori
Well okay, I';m not really THAT good at shutting up, but I can try! :-)
hey guys.. what's licketys?
I have to get going now. I have to vacuum the downstairs, pask up tennis and skiiing gear, and head off to tennis. Bye everyone.
Ooh...sounds like a busy weekend Scrabbler, enjoy!
Bye Scrabbler, have fun!
Vacuum? What's that? Can you get immunized for it?
Have a good one in spite of that Scrabbler. :-)
G*G--scroll down below tile st**s for Lickety's Babble Clues---a great aid!!
Well, I know you can for ironing, Lori... and it works a charm!
I have to work tomorrow and it will be a long day of sick kids, so I need to have fun today and then I will recover on Sunday.
Jandy, I've already rceived my vacuuming innoculation! The ironing one too.
Scrabbler, sorry babbling at work and keep having to go do work...I missed the fun sponsership.
thanks very much
Actually, I gave it up for Lent in 92... have managed to stay off it ever since... it's a sacrifice, but then,
G*G, Lickety's is a huge help, particularly if you're new to the game. Lickety's is my lifeline!
well we'll see if it helps me... I find it near impossible to find any of the longer words usually.
Jandy, that was selfless. Well done, and I admire your commitment. I think we just had a bonding moment.
Grin. I thought I felt a kindred spirit.
I feel it a duty to my husband to keep my brain active so I can be a good companion to him in our old age. Ironing just ain't going to do that for me.
***more bonding. My doppleganger?***
But Jandy, it might for him!! grinnin
I have other talents.
woohooo FIREWORKS at last!
Wowee. Congrats Nono! You smoked it this morn!
Just think, he might want to discuss shower curtains too!! :)
And, apart from that, I'm a really good cook!
Go Nono! Speedy!
Shower curtains? Hmmm.... can you iron them? Don't they melt?
Man, I'm only at 62, too much chatting, coffee drinking, housework avoidance.....
96 to go, but it's nearly midnight here...
but housework avoidance is good Lori
Years ago, I babysat for a couple, where the wife ironed everything, socks, udnerwear, diapers, the whole bit. Every time. Blew my mind.
no iron shower curtains are at your local discount house. hubby would love looking at them........ lol
Very, very sick. Perhaps there are meetings for that. Never heard of ANYONE ironing nappies!
Perhaps a power thing, liked watching the rumpled be made smooth?
***Haz, FM, Ata, Aloy, come out and pway wiff us***
Gotcha snags... yes, he does love a trip to the hardware emporium. Time takes on a new meaning when he disappears in there...
HI
She was a wonderful lady, dunno' where she found the time, but she was a devoted ironer. I was repulsed.....
Infernal!!! Hi!
Welcome back herin... nice and shiny??
grinning, is the an inoculation for that Jandy?
Waves. Yes im am all nice and clean now
clues for the n in the last column plz
Oh, I don't go and I wouldn't give him one. At least Iknow where he is. Could be at the pub - then I'd have something to complain about! And he is an EXCELLENT handyman, so it's worthwhile.
movieman, I also have nothing for N in last colulmn
Me neither!
you are lucky Jandy......... mine cant do much in the way of handy!!
na4 is the drug cop
I have one....an undercover drug searching officer is a na**
ty Nanette, Uniquity
na5/12 insert the seeing vowel
another is no + I am **aring some clues with you
ty guys
I have na + the *** used to operate in Northern Ireland
Nm that no....wrong n, apparently. Sorry!!
***grabs all these n clues, and runs like a thief in the night***
ty.. nice clue Lori... you'd be wasted on ironing!
Uniquity, that cme off the top N for me
Oh, I see now, you know that
You're right snags... which is probably why I've kept him all this time!
TY Lorie
time for breakfast i think.... happy babbling to you all
Apart from his charm and boyish good looks, of course!
could i please have a clue 4 the first ta5/14 and the ta6/24 after it
got em all ty
:) I would flip you for him!!
hello may I have a clue for the 8
Is the zo4,9 a normal word?
ta + 3rd vowel + **soline, then plural
Later Nono, enjouy your brekkie! G'd morning peri
ty lori
Hey everyone
Sorry ankh, no z's here yet. Peri, Nono said ag 8 sounds like the person that shhhh's you at the library
hi lickety
Hi Lickety
Good morning, Lickety
Jandy whats a snag? mmmm looks at my lovely boy
Lickety! ***bows to the god of Babble expediency***
got the ag8 thanks Lori and NoNo
Hi Lickety
Nice clue about the not-library worker
Are we talking sausages or men, herin?
Infernal, a dead tree on land or water
Isn't that great? Wish I'd thought of it, when she said it, i got it right away.
or a little blemish in your pantyhose
Men
oh Lori! no no no no
Ah, that'll be a Sensitive New Age Guy. (See picture of my younger son)
Ankh, I got a zo 4/9, zo + **ght from wrong
Thanks Lori - that's all the Zs for me!
Thank you, Lori, but grrr... not a normal word... grrr
is that Phuket in your picture Jandy?
before I am accused of lurking.....GOOD MORNING EVERYONE especially Lori
It is indeed Jean... can you feel the warm breeze?
***watch your mouth esprit!*** :-)
That z word is normal if you live where they wear them!
I am..........you KNOW I can do worse
***once a lurker, always a lurker... :-)***
And good morning!
just got back from Vietnam
G'd morning gdine
Gdine, thanks, I didn't know that's what it was
Where did you go in VN, esprit??
Ah, that's on the list. But we've sort of got stuck in Thailand, and find we're enjoying it more with every trip - a little bit more language, etc.
Love Thailand!!
from Hanoi to Saigon, central highlands, seacoast, Halong Bay
hi, all. I came through my birthday in great style
Sounds fantastic!
it was, beautiful country and people
Went on a boat tour in Halong Bay to a cavern in the area. Really awesome!
Happy Birthday Angel! Hope it was a great day.
I have to say, Bangkok gave me the creeps
Happy Bday Late, Angelsong
I found VN to be the most different from other Asian countries I've visited...
though the islands in Thailand do definitely interest me
yes gdine, we loved it
Jandy, it was wonderful.
I like Bangkok, but I kind of like grotty things, but my husband doesn't feel the need to go back. But we've been up north in the mountains and to several of the islands - some of them a few times.
Happy Bday AngelSong!
Ooooh....I love Bangkok...but I've always been with a group tour of some sort....meetings w/DH
Excellent! As it ought to be, of course.
BRB
too seedy, seems like everyone is up to no good and believe me, I am no prude
Angel - I know it's been a while - but how is your home coming along?
Lickety my dear how are yoiu?
^^^^^^^^^ is a prude
lickety, it's better than ever. We've finally found the right arrangement for the living room furniture.

Guten MOrgen, Babblers. I am halfway, so it is time to look at the list. Diving under
hi inge
::: watches Inge sink out of sight :::
any clues for "Z" words?
I think it's Scrabs who likes to get one word from each letter b/4 going to the list, right? well, I have at least one from all but the bottom left "t" and the far right "n" so far... still plugging away before going to list
zi4 - short plural for wine type
"Have tea, will babble" - hi all !
Christy, alt spelling for nat'l dress of India
hi Luc!!
G'd morning monty
thought that zo was a sandal, not an indian dress
sons

Bow of acknowledgement.

I sincerely hope so, Aloy. I felt like a permanent drip.
Who said she looked like one?? really!!

She was a martyr to her nose Scarlet
That's good to know, Annie.

Is it a flu-ish type of sick, red? Hi, JBV.... you're welcome!
Hi, 3 in the afternoon here JBV
hi JBV
Oh no,Scarlet,I am recovered health wise, Mostly up and down emotionally stuff...
yesterday was the first time in months that I did not finish my Babble puzzle but it seems Valentine's Day took priority - I have a story to tell, can I share?
LOL, FMitch... shoot, I shoulda bought Kleenex stock when it was low... now, someone in Ireland has thrown it through the roof!
please share
Ohhh.... a love story, JBV? Do tell!
all ears, JBV
PleaseJBV!!
settles down and sips tea.
**Holding breath**
came home from work to find my hubby in the kitchen concocting a major feast (lobster, shrimp, scallops, etc.) from a recipe in my Weight Watchers cookbook!
The darling!!
oooooh
not only that, but the kitchen was decorated with red sparkly heart streamers and Valentine's day lights!!!
What a star!
Wowee! What a greathubby!!!
The darling darling!!
and my son (who has not been totally domesticated after 23 years) making FLAN!
wow.. good man, think I'd keep him if I were you
wow!!!
yes, Aloysius, after 30 years, we are definitely sticking together
Holey Moleys... JBV: you have some 24-carat gold men there!
so needless to say I did not have a lot of time to babble and did not finish the grid
JBV, I think it should be permanent
(-: great story, JBV.. thanks for sharing
Scarlet, Shhh, you are now in thePB....
What a lovely evening it must have been.

So lovely JBV!!!
I have a bit of a vision problem now... some tears...

Ohmigosh, JBV...you must be a queen of that home..

Great story JBV! I think Valentine's was an especially good one this year for some!
Arrrgggghhhhhhhhhhh.... sorry gang... **hangs head in abject shame**

good morning
gm flos
Good morning to you, flosey!! How are you today?
good thanks scarlet, you?
hi, flosey
I must get coffee tho before I get started here
hi there jbv
Very well, flosey... recovering from a wonderful Valentine's Day story from JBV... lovely.
bb in a sec
(smiles, reliving it all...)
You must have the warmest glow of any person in here, JBV... so many blessings.
still counting them, scarlet, including that I did not have to go off my weight loss program - (I did not eat the flan)
How long have you been devoted to the program, J?
42 pounds off so far, and I am totally committed, this will be the last and final time for me (I'm getting too old for the ups and downs)
That is a spectacular result, J... how long has that taken you to accomplish?
sounds like a very effective program jbv, good for you
I have read that the ups and downs are not so good for our health...
well it doesn't seem so spectacular when you consider how long - about two years, now, however we focus on the positive which is that I am being consistent
Your bottom line is what counts, J... please have continued success...it's for your life. :-)
so, slow and steady, that's how I see it
Wins the game...
very true, scarlet, fortunately I'm in very good health but I've seen how obesity has affected people in my family
missing gi5 not plural ones
Please tell flosey your wonderful story, J...it will make her smile too...
yes, please do j
Not there yet, joanne... :(
well, flosey - to make it brief - hubby (of 30 years) surprised me with a most amazing dinner with all the trimmings, including valentine decorations all over the kitchen and dining room!
how romantic
awww how sweet jb..lucky you
ty anyway scar
Awe goes all gooey again (darn clients inturrupting babble time as usual).
Blast those clients, FM! Don't they realize that the fate of the civilized world rests on your Babble Time?
good morning flosey LOL Scarlet
:-)
Uh oh, Scarlet. Does it?
morning mitch
Hello, all.
hello vicuna
Yes it does, Vi... don't you realize that? LOL and good day to thee!
we are all still beautifully co-ordinated again
Oh dear. We're in trouble now. Can't we pool our Babble time to save the world?
joanne, found the gi 5 - add a man's name - L. *** Hubbard
I believe that, as a group of intelligent, strong, focused women, we can rule the universe! So, yes, Vi!!
and plural
Thank you, J!!
I agree, we certainly woudln't screw it up like the chaps have done.
jo, gi5 -not a boy and **ow me the way to go home
I'm going to have to dive into this grid, not much time this morning
Our outward icons merely reflect the deep inward harmony of our beings.
Only problem is, Scarlet, we're too intelligent and focussed to want to...
gm lill and ty
jb ty 2
Precisely... I believe that love, above all, is the central radiating cause and effect of the planet, and beyond!!
if that is so - what does lills reflect then :) Hi lill
hi jo and everyone
been out and come back to finish my last 4
LOL... right on the nose, Vi! Hi, Lilliann!!
Lil's reflects another central tenet to our wisdom: humor!!
hi scar
stinker lil when did you start??
it reflects my warped sense of humour fm!!
*grin*
as6 anyone?
i started this morning and was on and off inbetween doing boring housie things jo, then i had to go to the bairn's school and just got back. how are you anyway, long time no chat!
yes lil did you get me last e-mail?
how is the bairn doing??
you know, Vi, your idea of "coordinating our Babble energy" reminds me of an article I saw about a guy who's trying to get people playing computer games to cooperate on "games with a purpose" - very interesting - haven't tried them yet, but they are peekaboom.org, peekaboom.org/phetch, and espgame.org
i did, and when are you going to send me some pics?
as6 i need it too please!!
when i figure out how lol
fine, i'll tell you about it when i email you later.
k
Well, Scarlet, it has occurred to me that if we all spent as much time trying to solve the problems of the world as we do playing Babble, we could accomplish an awful lot...
as6-what comes of the end of a cigarette and someone who tells fibs minus 2nd letter
On the other hand, we'd all be miserable. =P
I was starting to get very worried about you Vi, jus for a moment!
Hello all
hi uni
hi uni
that's his vision - he invented a mind reading game - one player looks at a picture, tries to give clues to the other using words only, so they are playing but at the same time, contributing to a database of internet pictures with key words
You are so wise, Vicuna... and if we are content to tackle a simple (?) word puzzle, and then feel a sense of accomplishment and community as a result of this amazing Babble game, then what we, in turn, give back to the world is a positive vibe...
Hey, Uni! How be thee dear lady?
hi p2h
hi lil
Sorry to alarm you, FM. Are you saying that if I ever actually became a productive member of society, you would no longer know me?
ty lill
Hello Uniquity. No Vi, I thought you were going to renounce or denounce Babble!
Good, Scarlet. Just done classes for the day, and it is starting to flurry! Wondered if amongst your e-mail problems you ever got that letter i sent to you a week or two ago...
gm praise and uni
yw jo
BRB need more tea
uni--are you speaking to me??
LOL!!
Yes, fear not, Uni... my life has been like a gerbil on crack lately... will write soon, I promise!
That was to Scarlet, but now I am talking to you :) How have the girls been??
No, no, FMitch. I am ever loyal to this useless, time-wasting, self-indulgent nonsense! lol
LOL I meant were you ignoring me??
LOL!!
You better take the drugs away from the gerbils before you get REAL problems, Scarlet!!
girls are okay
me, not so much
have to have surgery soon
Ohhhh...did I miss a post? **reading back to see what made me rude** :D
Does the SPCA know about your activities, Scarlet?
Surgery??? What's wrong?
going to have to have a knee replacement
LOL... you murder carrots and I abuse what little time the day gives me... LOL
Man, I think you need to e-mail me, Praise, so I can keep up with your drama!
Knees can be replaced? Arthritis or something?
LOL uni
it has been coming for a long time
I think I just aggravated things when i fell
P2H... good morning and please come through surgery a bionic Babbler...
ty scarlet
I didn't realize you had been hurt. When will the surgery happen?
I have had this surgery before on the other knee
about 2 years ago
Duty calls. Back later, folks.
April 23 is the date uni

Hello again - the shops took longer than I thought.
hi haz
hi Haz
That it did!
I can't even say that it was FM's fault.
Hi Haz
3d z?
Hello caitlyn and everyone.
lol, so were they sold out of tissues or something?
No, I was seeking inspiration for daughter's birthday present - or at least the little bits and pieces to go with the main bit.
of of course it's Ls isnt it
Yes, it's her birthday on Sunday. Typically she wants a winter coat(!?), just when the shops are flooded with bikinis and spring wear.
hello, here's my icon clue. Does anyone have one for me?
and most of the sales for winter stuff are over. Good icon harp, MLF could have used that earlier.
am I the only idiot who adds the plural of a word and then doesn't add the bloody singular?!
nope Dindrane
no dind, i do that sometimes
I must have a think about an icon.....
any clues for sh6 please?
sh6 - sh plus first four letters of a citrus fruit
sh + cons + I *** a marathon
Thank you Haz
Oh, hello Uniquity.
Hi Uni
I am trying to not use more words....my friends keep telling me it's cheating
got it, thanks haz
and that's fireworks and must run or i'll be late

Congrats flosey!!
It's not cheating, it assistance for you and saves everyone from going batty
Way to go Flosey!
congrats flosey
bye all - see you later!

That is what I say FM...then they give me useless words I already have or that aren't real. Non-babblers think it is so easy
wtg flos congrats
HAve a good meeting TO
fm u threw me off with the cons thing
If using morewords is cheating, then I'm a big cheat!
i don't use morewords i just ask for clues! ea5?
I find I dont need it so much these days but its always handy,that and the a2z
I don't like asking for clues...plus, morewords is faster when I am in a hurry
ea5 - plural direction
rh6 please not the animal
oh got it
could you clue the rh6, joanne

have y'all noticed that of those who used 2 type on a typewriter, u no longer worry about typos since there is spell check?
Spell check has its limitations though.
It doesnt always work I had a letter from a big insurance company saying 'you mite' want this back!!!!
Spell check doesn't get everything, though
if I dont have typos , its an imposter typing
and there is no spell check in babble land unfotunately
Sorry for the delay,,had to feed the dog,JBV sorry I dont remember I think I just went to images on Google and typed in the letter C
ik it doesn't & u have 2 proof it but i don't worry any more w/typos - i'll get them later - lol
Deeha, what did you do with the letter?
we need 2 ask 4 a rotate option
No thanks, this isn't boggle
sorry y'all - i have the gift of gab 2day - i'm gonna play now & leave y'all alone - lol
We'd never see our beds again.
we get our exercise standing on our heads and contorting :)

**just popping in for a moment** - when you type in a word, it will either say it doesn't exist in the puzzle (good word, just not there) or else not found in the dictionary (not recognized by Enable)
Hi gwen

Penalty box is only for typing grid words in the chat box. I haven't typed any words in yet, so I don't know if you should be penalized!

awwwww thx - she is - she needs a haircut - mayb this weekend
very cute! what kind of dog?
ty br and jbv
i went from a 158 lb rott/shepherd mix to her - i had 2 put my big dog down almost 1 1/2 yrs ago - boy did that hurt - my husband made me go out & get another puppy since i'm always home - or it could have been because of my nonstop crying - u think?
I'm not used to dogs needing haircuts! We alway had those that shared their ha4 all over the house!
she's a poodle/terrier mix - she really is sweet - she does have the terrier "never give up" quality & the nonshedding quality of a poodle
We had a wonderful rottie for 10+ years. Good dog, he was.
mine was a male & was the best dog friend i ever had
it was all i could do 2 watch the westminster kennel club show this week - that sure was a good looking beagle that won "best in show"
I only watched the herding group to see the corgis they had. lol
Well, I'm done munching my late lunch and must turn my attention back to work. Bye.
my dog had the heighth of a shepherd & the muscles of the rott
bye gwen - tc & hp

bubba the place where actors stand to recite their lines.
FMitch, were you saying there was a 6/21 right before the 6/24?
the best looking craft, besides quilting was getting a clear glass dinner plate, find a picture u just love, cut it out, modge podge the front of the picture & place it on the back of the plate so the picture shows thru the plate. let it dry. then paint the back of the plate covering up the back of the picture that is already on the back & put several coats on it. it really looks professional
no, you were not
on7=on+when u are at a concert they are performing on+s****
Thanks, FMitch, Firewords

Came back, I thought, called away, and am back again.
Good evening Haz and the glittery one.
there are 4 in 6 - two in 6/18 and two 6/21
A frustrating day.
One's a plural, the other involves what America is composed of.
ooh found what i needed!!!
hello
Hello peri!
44 left
I'm just reading back in the chat log - very relieved that the Steve Wright thing was a false alarm.
wish I had something sweet to eat :(
now if i could just get one more top S, i would have 2 or less from each box
who's steve wright and what didn't happen to him?
Absolutely!
He's on trial for murder of 5 prostitutes - rumour had it that he had been found not guilty, the case hasn't finished yet.
i got one
steve the ripper, eh?
taking a break, bbs
and despite his DNA croppin gup all over the place he is denying it all.
It would look to be impossible for him not to be guilty.
guilty guilty guilty
Keep going - five dead women.
there's a lot of wickedness in this world
what with human nature being what it is
a kitchen sink is a very necessary thing
That is true.
and scandals are so often true, aren't they?
I'm now trying to find the connection between a kitchen sink and a scandal.
Haz I could have done with your icon earlier, I always miss that animal
Or are you just speaking random truth?
i'm being miss marple
I know, Fmitch - I do as well. They're strange looking things, aren't they?
people would tell her that her mind was like a kitchen sink and she would say it was a very necessary piece of household equipment, and really very hygienic.
Ah, which version, the literary or the television/film version? Ivote for Joan Hickson.
literary
Trying to remember if you saw them on safari, I did, incredible.
Its hygiene depends on who is cleaning it.
Yes, this was one of our photos, FMitch.
but i would have thought that these things she says all the time would show up in the TV versions
i have only seen the more recent miss marples and they messed them up rather.
They probably do. The reason I ask about which manifestation is that there are often debates about who has portrayed her the best.
only one more l word, but I can't get it, clue for la 7/32 please?
they kept making people lesbians who i don't think christie meant to be lesbians. one of them they even changed who the murderer was in order to make the motive to do with a lesbian love triangle.
la7/32 - looks like a degree of whipping has been involved, but lose the g.
That was the Geraldine McEwan one - I agree, it was taking modern liberties where liberties didn't need to be taken.
thanks, haz but if I lose the g, isn't that only 6 letters?
sorry I'm being really dense here...
ok, got it ! TY
It's a plural word, JBV. But you've got it, well done!
JBV = Not dense :)
AND they made it that miss marple had had an affair with a married man when she was younger, which is so clearly not the case that i can't even begin to fathom why they did that
any help with the or6,27 or the or5,16? Just not feeling very sharp today.
fireworks ... finally
i'm quitting for now, will finish when i get home.
congrats Merk
hurshy - they were just trying to be clever or modern, I think. They did a similar thing with a TV adaptation of Rebecca, making the second wife much more worldly than the book ever described.
yay, merk!
Well done Merk.
very annoying, isn't it haz
did you see the horrid, horrid version of scarlet letter starring demi moore?
It's infuriating, hurshy. I haven't seen the Demi Moore one.
or5/16 - First three letters of a keyboard instrument, finish with two thirds of frozen water.
or6/27 places another vowel within or5/16.
Haz, you are so good at cluing. I was staring at that or 6 and wondering how to clue a word I only monkeyed myself and have no clue as to its meaning.
Thank you, Merk!
See you tomorrow hopefully.
All the best, Merk - see you again.
they made it that dimmesdale didn't feel guilty at all really, and that they were just these indefatigable lovers standing up for passion amid the repressive society in which they lived, who rode off into the sunset together at the end.
missed the entire point.
Well, we've seen what they can do to Anne of Green Gables.....
change the time period and turn her into macguyver, yes...
The early ones with Megan Fellowes? were very good but as it got further through they began to bear zero resemblance to anything I had ever read.
but, i think the perversion of scarlett letter was worse.
yeah, the first one was pretty much right on, the second one, they mixed elements of books 2, 3 and 4 and changed some stuff, and the third one was insane.
Did we ever recommend a new BBC series called Cranford? It's now out on DVD and I think you would enjoy it.
yes, i think you have mentioned.
Oh yes yes yes, blissful joy of loveliness.
Ahem sorry a tad over the top there.
It was wonderful. Tears the whole way.
Help with the AG 8?
I don't know how well it was done according to the books but it was delightful to watch. And Judi Dench was in it, so what more could a body ask for?
ag8 - relating to land tenure. Think of one who works in a book lending facility, use the last part of his/her job title attached to the ag.
hi all - great clue haz!
Hello as - glad you liked it.
96 in, think I'll go to the list! :)
looking for te 7/36 - keep thinking it must be a flower, but no, any clues, please?
te7/36 - you definitely DON'T want to smell this. Used in riot control.
wow, never saw that, thanks haz!
You're welcome.
unfortunately, I actually have had experience with that, back in 1969 or 70
Haz, just realised you said a word earlier
come sit with me in the PB
Not the Penalty Box? Then again, look who stays in the Penalty Box...
Did you have a misspent youth, JBV?
no, but I was in the wrong place at the wrong time during an anti-war demonstration in college (Vietnam War)
hello! ;)
Hi carra
That stuff isn't very controllable, so the innocent suffered as well.
Hello carra.
Hi FM & Haz
well, I was part of the protest, but I would say we were all innocent, as we were doing nothing wrong
I guess it had to be before the awful shootings at Kent State which I believe happened in 1970, because otherwise we would have been too afraid
Oh, I thought you meant that you were just a passer by. I was pretty young at that stage, but I do remember the Kent State shootings.
It was a pretty radical time all over the world.
Suddenly aware of a big chunk of knowledge missing there
our own Tiananmin Square - very shameful
uh-oh did I stop the chat completely?
No, I was just going to google Kent State
It's in Wilkapedia, FMitch.
The internet is wonderful for bringing instant references to just about anything.
yes, haz isn't it?
NEver ceases to amaze me until I try and do some family tree stuff
there was a very popular song by Neil Young referencing Kent State, called "Four Dead in Ohio"
I'm still staggered by discovering a reference to my grandmother's death on a website.
was she someone famous? or was it a news obituary?
It was actually useful in that it enabled me to ask questions from my uncle. It explained a lot.
Oh interesting!
No, she wasn't famous at all. She had died as a result of a fire and the newspaper reference on internet was to her inquest.
Do you want to hear the story?
do tell....
Yes please, you haven't told us a story in ages.
Okay - here goes.
Grandfather, Grandmother and their three boys (my father and his two brothers) lived in a small labourer's cottage in Greyabbey. My grandfather worked as a gardener in Mount Stuart, a large estate.
When my grandmother was 36, (my father was 12 at the time), she suffered a nervous breakdown and was ill for quite some time. The last fortnight of her life she had been confined to bed.
Hello all.
It was the habit of wives in those days to rise early in order to light the range, to get water for washing and for making the breakfast.
*whispers hello Scrabbler*
yes, yes, listening....
The habit was to use a little paraffin to enablt the dormant coals to light up more fiercely.
**being very quiet as I listen to Hazel's family history**
My grandmother was disorientated as to time - they believe that she got up, decided that it was time to make her husband's breakfast and so put the paraffin on the coals.
uh oh....
However, it wasn't as late as she had thought. The paraffin ignited the coals and she was engulfed in flames.
I'm waiting to entery my last word - as I cannot interrupt this story with fireworks just yet....
Oh, dear....how awful.
My uncle was only 6 at the time and he can still remember hearing her screams. She was taken by ambulance to hospital but died the next day from shock.
The inquest was held THAT SAME DAY and my grandfather had to give evidence. I think there was some fear that people might claim she was suicidal.
But I have her death certificate - shock due to burns accidentally received.
so is your uncle the only one around who remembers that?
And that, dear friends, is how my grandmother died. Very tragic.
Gosh, what a tale!
very very sad, haz
My father and his other brother are dead, my uncle is the only one who now knows the story.
so, just to change the mood a little, ****works (did not want to say that word)
It had long-term repercussions for the family. My older uncle was already at grammar school. My father won a scholarship to go to grammar school but they couldn't afford it so he had to leave to work. By the time my younger uncle was at that stage he was able to go to grammar school and university.
I was a witness to a house fire in my childhood - unforgettable, traumatic experience
But he maintains that my father had more brains than him and he deeply regretted that he didn't have the chance of a good education.
Congrats JBV (on finishing that is)
To his credit, my father never complained but accepted that he just had to get on with things.
that is an amazing story, haz
JBV - well done on finishing, and sorry for talking so much!
what year was that?
facinating Haz
That was in 1938.
no, I was totally engrossed in your story
logs gone very buggy sigh
As I say, it's amazing what the internet can throw up.
well its thrown us lot together!
FMitch - have you been watching the latest Choir story? 'Boys don't sing' - final part tonight so I'm heading in the direction of the TV to see if he can get them licked into shape.
FMitch - have you been watching the latest Choir story? 'Boys don't sing' - final part tonight so I'm heading in the direction of the TV to see if he can get them licked into shape.

my cinder noticed the scroll across at the bottom of cable news networks when it started, just after 9/11. she put her paws up on the shelf of the entertainment center and gingerly poked it. then she inched her way left and peered between the tv and the wall of the cabinet to see where the words were going.
just dropped by to say goodnight!!
felines can be *amazingly* interactive with people - and other animals. Of course, there are other kitties who ignore everything else in the world except their chosen servants. :)

yw, monk
hi tyger
not here for long, just popping my head in...
there are a bunch of compound words in this grid, including some I've never seen mashed together before
cant get ci word referring to brandy. can it be clued again plz?
and some words that can be broken down into 2 small words, even though they're common
smoke a big fat ci5, mkg
hi, all
lil monkey got that one. but there is another.
ci 5 a stogi a smoke, bill clinton was famous for one
2nd cl5/6 combo - think of not cloudy, delete 1st vowel from dipthong in middle, and add round one to 3nd
oops no there isnt another. so sorry.
oops, I was clueing the cl 5/6 combo :) sorry
of course there's also not cloudy and plural in here
mkg, there is not another ci5
hi lil, how are you?
ci6 is plural of the smoking thing
ty
hi little bit!
I got confused, and was clueing the 1st cl combo :P
surprised to hear the news today that David Walker, Comptroller General of the GAO is resigning... big news for the accountability of our government...
how bout as 6 clues plz?
what's new in your neighborhood shelly ???
as6 is a building component, usually of stone, but also used to describe wooden pieces used in roofs
not a lot. my cat is doing better!
1st half of that word is 3 letter word for a kind of tree
what accountability, LOL? evanadine?
asphalt is not in grid tyger...........cant think of anything else............
is your cat tinkling now ?
yes!
yay!
as6: not an oak, but an as* tree + pole + Valentines day is not a good day to have an **gument
despite the fiscal state of the government, Dave Walker was like the lone ranger, calling out all waste + misuse of funds... unfortunately, since GAO works for congress, he was often, shall we say, "limited" in what he was allowed to say. now hes gonna be working for a private company, free to *really* speak the truth.
still on meds for a few more days though
hey, pam - accountability is something Mr. Bush doesn't like
nor does Congress, too often
poor kittie!
ty got the as word. ty
how's it coming, MKG?
yw
anything new in your neck of the woods?
He was very responsible, evan--and will be missed...
would love clue for ae word...........
evening everyone
my bf and i are watching the Detroit Red Wings tonight
ae5: ae + secretive govt agency
I will have to go search out all of the news...
hey, nat!
hi, natasha
ae + top secret government spy agency
How is the temp job?
monk, do you live in MI?
hopefully he will thrive even more in his new position... it will probably take a while for his replacement to be nominated + approved...
ty got it tyger
yw :)(\
oops
:)
hmmm, well I had to stop myself from walking out a few times today.
but don't mind me, I've had a hard week
no tyger, I live in Norfolk , Virginia (with a transplanted Detroit native)
you work for govt, nat?
anywho, got a movie to watch on TV, so ive gotta run! :)
teat
teats
LOL natasha said a woooooooooooooooooord
oops, sorry!
need ag 5 14 the second one and third one plz.
I'm gonna hafta take a break real soon, guys - get those clue requests in now, please?

Hello
gnite all!
tyger, are you taking numbers ?
are there chocolates & brandy in the penalty box? I think nat's earned them
its ok natasha.......its ok.
nite, eva
how many words are there today?
night everyone! gotta run!
hi, dargh
kiss 229
put a few ci6 in the PB :)
bye little bit!!!!!
that sucks, nat. I hope something better comes along...
nope, no smoking
nite, bit
yeah, it will. although I heard today I didn't get another job and my car was broken into yesterday.
sigh...
I'm sad I got 1 hello
Oh, nat... I am so sorry.
thanks mkg
owwwww ((((Natasha))))
hey, darth
Moving back east has not been very good to you.
thanks
I didn't see you, sugar
nope, between having my uhaul stolen and all this I'm having a hard time these days
tyger clue for those last ag words i need plz? ag 5 14 the second and third one. have all other ag words.
was your stuff in Uhaul insured?
I just try to think of all the good things I do have and remember that this too shall pass
i can honestly say I would be, too, nat. And, I have no platitudes to offer
nope tyger, nothing covers it
well, that should give you a big write-off on your taxes
darth, how's by you today?
we need to send you cyber care packages...
that's ok pam, thanks for listening to my pity party
you can write off losses on income taxes, you know
you have a police report?
yep, I did write them off, but you can only claim market value and then they reduce it by 10% of your gross adjusted income
still, some money back is better than nothing.
but you can carry forward losses you can't write off entirely on a single year
really? I'll have to look into that
unless they've changed the rules
just seems you have been on the receiving end of the worst kind of luck--it's not right...
it's never right, pam. it's a big philosophical conundrum
yeah, I'm feeling a bit persecuted these days
yup, tyger.
does anyone have the last ag words i need, the last two ag 5 14s? p[retty please?????????
hello all!
yup, just like charitable contributions too big to claim all of in a single year
I don't want to hijack the chat with my sorrows though. I appreciate all the support.
I useta know all that stuff
hey, stid
evening!
about 10 or so more minutes and I gotta go to pills & supper - clue requests???
anyone have a nintendo ds? have any game recommendations?
well, nat, we are here to bolster you... and each other
hi, feather
hey, feather - you're back!
nat, we all need listening to sometimes
hi feather
yep, i am!
{{{{{natasha}}}}} just read back a bit in the chat.
that's one of the great features of this group
thanks stid.
I agree, tyger. Everyone has been there for me--nat included!
clues, anyone??
on the bright side, I got a new cat last weekend
oh, that's nice, nat...
yay, kitty - that should help :)
tell us about her/him
hello, 49 to go!
she's very sweet and a little kooky...about one, her name was wilma and we decided not to change it
hey, harp
clues?
:)
go harp go!
she doesn't meow much, but she has this funny little trill that she does to acknowledge you
wow, harp - you've got a grid item for an icon today!
oh, that sounds adorable, nat
how cute, natasha! any pics?
I LOVE wilma--great, great name!
what color/markings is wilma?
nope, no pics yet. bad cat mamma!
she's a mix, but looks like a silver tabby, only a bit browner and she's got mittens on her front paws and knee socks on her back legs
Awwwwwww :)
anyone need clues??
*making aww sounds*
AE 5 please?

*sending quiet evening and calm thoughts to tyger*
thx, nat - I've got lidocaine patch on. if nothing else, that'll work in a coupel hours
one ag 5/14 is a pretty stone
oh, tyger, that stinks...
the other is plural a thickener made from seaweed
ag5/14: growth medium made from seaweed
are your headaches organic or from a trauma, tyger?
ooops - that's the plural I clued
singular is ag4/6
from old trauma, pam, that I've told about before - just don't get them often anymore, thankfully
woo-hoo! found the AS 6 by myself!
yay, stid
I couldn't remember, tyger, sorry. And, I am glad that are not frequent...
there are LOTS of combined words today
but still need the AG 8...
I've waited too long this time before using the patch is all, pam. my own fault

haha i dont
ar6/7 combo: ar + front of lower leg
do two donuts count as dinner?
hey, scrabs, TO, anybody else?
LOL, nat, I don't think so
I just had pumpkin pancakes even though I should have had a salad.
hi Scrabs - I took a page from you today (didn't go to the list until I got at least one from every tile, and almost ***almost**** made it to 100 b/4 list)
crap, then I'll have to get off my lazy rear and find some real food
asg, I try to get past halfway, if I can.
i am hungry but too lazy to go get something
(scrolls down) hey, nan, anybody else? :)
well, it was a start for me! :)
thank you!
that sounds good scrabbler
TO, that's not good. bad eating habits ain't a joke :(
Now my craving for pumpkin pancakes has ended.
can I get clues for the an 5/6 combo plz?
scrabs, I still remember my MI driver's license, and that's 12 digits
hi everyone :)
maybe I'll heat up some of the potato leek soup I made the other day..
hi rows
an5/6: one pole of an electrical setup
hey, rows
tyger, that's just scary
ROWS
I have never memorized my driver's license #
scrabs,i beleive i now know why i have been having sinus symptoms. i bought a yankee candle electric air thingy
nat, that sounds like a good dinner
does anybody need more on the an combo?
i think it's more common in diff areas. like i always had it memorised in ca, was easy there. never have had mine memorised in ct, prob never will.
oy tyger, I don't get it
but it is in the fridge and I'm here....
So, Owl, is it the smell that bothers you?
ELSH
the driver's license number that is
got it!!
an5/6: an + atom deprived of an electron
hey, elsh
hi!
it is SOMETHING. unofrtunately i spilled the oil on something i am wearing so will have to go change and do laundry
i have mine memorised
used to have credit cards memorised too
hi, TO, scrabs, and everyone else who signed in...
back again.
ty tyger
I know 3 credit card #s.
anyone have ar words the six and 7??????
rows, so did I. I almost have my current MC # memorized, but don't trust it
I know my birthday, address and phone number too.
totally have Amex memorized - including the code on the back!
yw, rows
when i moved i changed banks, so my card changed and i haven't bothered memorising it since
i learned my driver's license when i lost my shopper's saver card for the grocery store, and they used my license number instead.
LOL, scrabs
I know the first four digits of my driver's license... s-t-i-d...
haha at your clue, rose
LOLOL, all of you!
so, feather, how are you doing on the grid?
hehe
23 left, all g's
why do i do that to myself?>
ha, i'm not tyger! i pick and choose which grids i do. haven't started this one yet. just came in to chat.
AR 5/14 please?
i still don't get harpjane's clue icon, i think i'm a bit slow..
i did do yesterday's though
oh! i get it now
ar5/14: ar + not a guy, but a ***
The SO words are eluding me.
i was looking for the word earlier didn't see it
feather, lost is drving me crazy...i am having trouble keeping up
thanks again tyger
eish, you mean my picture?
okay
so5/6: used by Navy ships
yw, stid
tyger how bout the ar 6 and 7 after it? not six at end.
i trimmed my hairs today
i thought about a picture of a teeny hairpiece on top of our hearing organ....
frige and the back of it
okay, so I am also stumped by the AR 6/21... *sigh*
TY, tyger--hm, that was not so elusive. Slam me with a haddock.
fringe*
haha
TO, go visit www.thefuselage.com for some good forums to see what people are saying about it.
ar6/7 felonious fire-making
yw, scrabs
haha harp
I trim my bangs every few weeks, and try to not butcher things too badly.
oh no! *getting ready to eat whale*
ty tyger but that is last ar 6. i need the other one, and 7 after it.
LOL
how is the grid, btw? debating starting it.
timer went off. I'll try to come back
i let my hair completely grow out--don't trim it--and need to get it cut, LOL
hm. no -- got that one *carefully puts whale back on shelf for later* need the first ar 6/7 combo
i just wish my fringe would behave, but i usually have to wear it to the side, especially if i'm going out dancing like tonight
See you late, hope the headache goes away!
take it easy tyger, see you soon
scrabs said a wo-rd!
bye tyger - thanks for the help!
pam, i'm at that stage too. too much of a pain to keep up with bangs!
bye tyger, feel better!
haven't had a haircut since nick was born, i don't think. or if so, just one. ugh.
anyone have the ar 7 word plz? missing the six before as well.
I grow mine long until I am done with tangles, then I cut it really short... then I grow it long...
What word did I say, Owl? Give me a clue?
i just get too lazy...
if scrab said a word, I'd love to know, LOL
sounds like me, stid, but mine won't grow past my armpits, it's too thin
i'm about ready to chop to shoulder length soon, if nick keeps grabbing handfuls of it and yanking!
so it never REALLY gets long
(searching for Scrab's word so I can use it!)
my hair tangles SO bad
ha ha ha! you weren't the only one.
ouch, feather.!
lol, mine is about 2 inches long now and way too long
my hair, that is...
My daughter is growing her hair for "locks of love" - we're about an inch away
scrabs, are you a non nonense short ha4/5ype?
mine was above--just--the shoulders--and I am trying to get it to below the shoulders and shaped, but it is a pain!
tell me about it! especially when he grabs hair from the temple area.
looks as if i will be the only one left in chat
you sound like my ex- nat! Very short and spiky...
LOLOL, TO!
ok, changed my icon, but it prob won't show for awhile in here..
I have that word already.
ouch, ouch....feather...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH - oops
lol, oh no TO! my excuse is i haven't started the grid yet.
yep, and bright red
My ha** is shoulder length
i wish i could do locks of love
I made pecan pie (for real) tonight - anyone want to join me in the PB? it's yummy
hehe yay i see it Elsh
Last so5?
LOL hair, hairy, hairless, hair-de-hair-hair! *takes spot next to as in PB*
i don't have a lot of long or good words so i couldn't use anything that great.
i actually didn't have that one yet
I see Stid making a bee-line to the PB!!
ok i must go dump this smelly thing off a bridge or something..it's that bad! my favorite scent in candles, too : (

I like your icon, elsh

Go, Featherbee! It is almost impossible to look at a grid and not type in words.

Nope, maybe he is on vacation.

2 more, rows
it's the zo5
yeah...
wondering what the others could be
well, there's a middle eastern sandwich in there
Greek sandwich, andree
80 left and I need to get to bed early. I have to make hospital rounds and work tomorrow, and the office will be insane with sick kids, as the past week has been. I dread it.
the Gs of course
hehe this is what made me want greek food tonight
and now i'm gonna have some :D
zo4 is another name for thongs, rows
((((SCRABS))))
are you seeing much flu, scrabs?
nite, scrabs
apparently i haven't heard of that, tyger
anyone who watches house happen to be watching law and order SVU on usa right now? was that guy one of the new ones on house?
flip-flop, g-string...
several more words are made by adding 1 or 2 more letters to the greek sammich
depending on which kind of thong
sleep well scrabs
Anybody want a clue for the first in6/21? It's what Bill didn't do with pot
rows, japanese word for flip flops
roflmao, Jilli!
January was relatively quiet, but flu and flu-like stuff has hit in the last 2 wks and it has been crazy! My partner was ill and missed work Monday & Tuesday so that added to the workload.
oh, that's a GREAT clue, jilli - far better than I gave earlier
*doesn't know it* :(
bah i should find out
I was at Dr.s offc yesterday, and they were offering masks to all patients in waiting room
my bf is japanese
ar 5/14 clue the first ar please
yeah, there's been a nasty bout of the flu up here too. wish the sickies would just stay home! sheesh, like the rest of us want to share...NOT
anybody want a clue? :)
thx for all the gi clues and the in one Jilli!
i am half greek and still don't get the sandwich clue
Another bad virus = human metapneumovirus. Causes a respiratory illness, more serious than a cold.
Andree, use an i instead of a y
yay i googled it and found it
andree, gi + **w **w your boat
here, too, lbd and scrabs...
O dpm
scrab, I bet that's what I'm getting over, 2 weeks later
*thining she will wake up tomorrow and be sure she has it* thanks, scrabs! : /
We have 2 patients on ventilators in the pediatric ICU. One is 5 wks old and has been there for 2 wks.
gi4/6 + gi + **ses are red
scrabs, i'm pretty sure that's what doug, nick and daniel all had. i just can't get over the fact that i never got it, with everyone around me hacking their lungs out!
oh dear, i hope the little tyke can beat the virus.
*is red*
oh, scrabs, that is sad...
oh, awful, scrabs -- no, I wasn't that bad
LOL
at rows, not sick kids :(
haha
The little guy will probably come off the ventilator in a few days. The 2 yr old is critically ill.
see, I just can't keep away...ttfn again!
ar 5/14 anyone?
viruses are bad news, no matter the age
scrabs, two folks i work with have had penumonia in last 10 days. they worked together, too
you know my first name actually is the name of that flower... :P
gee scrabbler, is that baby going to be okay?
ar 5/14 ar + opposite of "guy"
ar+ my *** sal
ar5/14: ar + not a guy, but a ***
snap, stid
and dawg
The 2 yr old is a former premie with resultant chronic lung disease, a tracheostomy, etc, therefore far more fragile and getting slammed with Influenza B.
yes, rows, I've read your stuff
brb, need a cuppa
aw, what a rotten thing for the poor kid
thx tyger
yw, andree
:)
Yes, she spent her first yr in the hospital and has already been through so much, as have her parents.
yes, premies seem to have a lot harder time don't the scrabbler?
is that one of the flus they didn't pu in the vaccine?
4 of the in words have a snake as the next letter
The CDC chooses 3 strains in the spring for use the next winter.
scrabs, I do trust the family has insurance??
I also have to see a 4 mo old with a kidney infection. I sent her in on Tuesday and she needs 1 wk of IV antibiotics.
if not, by this time they're probably eligible for Medicaid :(
tx tyger, still looking for in words!
Yes, they are insured.
hospitalization costs the earth these days
You are right, tyger!
green, think of the comm system in premium GM cars, & change 1st letter :)
that's a relief to know, scrabs
only if you are middle class. if you have no insurance they have to treat you. and they don't bill you.
tx, had just gotten that
where do you live, TO? here in MS, they get billed regardless
I have no OR words.
think of Delphi, scrabs, and what they called the women there
in PA. doen't matter if you get billed, of you have nothing. i worked in billing at a large urban hospital.
also or6/7 combo is a drink that was popular at parties in the Regency era
OR 6 is an almond-flavored syrup, cousin
i have one--the "fancy" speechifying, scrabs...
Where is Delphi? Is that in Kentucky?
if i do't pay and don't own a home, there's no recourse.
last in 7?
scrabs - in Greece :D
think mythology scrabs
thanks for the Delphi clue
last in7 - not in another sub-national govt org (e.g., PA, MS, CA)
Mythology is pretend-stuff, so I never bothered to learn it.
yw, pam
or drink?????
well, Delphi is a real place, and historical individuals visited there for advice
oh, but it is a good read, scrabs....
orzo, ouzo, orsa....I thought anisette was that almond stuff
monk time pam
part one of season finale
or6/7: what non-profit websites end in + consume food
**clearly I am in a carbo-induced coma from overeating pumpkin pancakes for dinner
think network operating systems...or those who tell the future
good, TO - I have friends who work for Or6
thanks, tyger!
Ty, Tyger--odd words! Are those the Delphi words?
yw, pam
a request is being made for me at the karaoke machine....(good thing y'all can't hear!) ... bbl

I think I should have gone off to bed when I said I was. I am so confused.
Bye ASG
the regency was during the time that the king of england (dear george iii) was incapacitated and the crown prince took over for him
early 1800s
regency is a time period when George, Prince of Wales ruled
early 1800's
lol, stid
snap, pam! LOL
obviously, scrabs, you're not a fan of Austen, or Heyer, or any of those novelists :)
really confused on the al4/4.... tried every combo i see and none work
I don't know history either.
or of edith hamilton, LOL, tyger!
rows, I am no smart al4, but rururocks is!

Math & science got me through high school and college.

or 41
just now, stid? I'm amazed at you.
okay, guys. keep me busy
clues?
I've only been at the bookstore for about a month, and I'm still learning how to run the registers and do special orders. I've yet to really get into sleuthing out books
oh. well, you have that to look forward to, then :)
I didn't know you had a new job LBD! good for you!
what is that last OR 6 please? the 6/27?
yeah, needed money for christmas, and got offered to work at the big bookstore, stid
Hello all again
clues, peeps?
Hi, darth
what, darth, didn't you see where everybody said hi a few minutes ago?
good idea, LBD (do you get a discount?)
and somebody said something about the baby
or 6 -- ass + consume
stid, not sure how to clue the or6.27, and yes, i get a discount
ok, back
or6.27: ending of non-profit websites + consume food
I have that one BR, need the last OR 6
well, snot my favorite or6, i can tell ya that
last or6 or last or6/24?
or 6 --- ass + a mad driver man***
Yeah I did but some people said it after I said thanks
plus I am trying to go back and forth between like a zillion windows
last one: ending of non-profit website + 2 vowels + 2nd cons
oh, I C
I think BabRab's was better - at least for the 2nd half
I think the last or6 is adjective dealing with sex party
or + letter after F, + sacroil***
kleptoman***
wow, with all those clues, everybody should have it :)
and the final or5 is probably a synonym
clue please for the no5 after the water wheel?
well, there's no definition of the or6.27! pashaw
why didja think I was guessing, dawg? :)
no+ spanish river
as 6 clue?

brought her up a year on reading and some months on math
maybe I don't have the first cl 5/12.. I;ll bet
then I think you should be more careful with your labels...I have a Down Syndrome son who is quite clever and has a great sense of humor
be a good friend and listen to him/her. sometimes that's all you can do.
te7 is mashup of stuff police use to control crowds
stid, last part is fuel or flatulence! lol
annie, I was being careless, it's true, but everybody in here tosses comments off. Jeanette's mother was seriously diabetic during pregnanacy, back when there was no good treatment for it
yes, listen to your friend darth -- but also know that if he says things that cause to to worry safety issues, then think of an adult who can give you advice.
ruru, cl+ **e you going to scarborough fair, + 4th vowel
thefirst cl5.12 is cl + "I'll see you ***und"
Evening everyone.
hey, woof

the tail is the cat's communication!
I know, herin... manx was last one in. I think the first four accepted her out of pity thinking "she's defective" :) She has to be much more expressive with eyes and general body language
My cats more of the vocal sort
oh, there's that too. but when they refuse to talk to you, the tail's the signal
my cats tail is a sign of amusement
