ummm but there is no tr 5,9 in the grid

1:16 am

good evening everyone

1:16 am

sorry: tr 5/18

yeah, in fact a score of 5,9 is impossible, so it must be the tr5,18, yes?

1:17 am

not being up on heraldry, that means nothing to me :(

1:17 am

Hey all,hi...............:)

1:18 am

I'll change it, nan...

1:18 am

hi chick

it's a place, UL6. you don't really need to know coats of arms, if you notice the harp . . .

1:18 am

it's also a long wool coat

1:19 am

icon changed to clue

1:19 am

off to bed -- see you tomorrow

1:19 am

there -- is that better, nan?

nice one, kazz!

1:20 am

GN Nan.:)

1:20 am

i rather liked this pic

1:21 am

lol -- see that it is Northern Ireland, but don't know the gaelic name for it

1:21 am

kaz, your icon isn't in your profile, not is its first 2 letters

1:22 am

nan, it's not a a gaelic name and as 1mar said, it's also a long wool coat

1:22 am

good heavens -- it's been ages since I read that book, Kaz!

nan, it rhymes with one of those big metal trash containers they have at apartment buildings

1:22 am

ah -- a city in the region -- ty

(sort of)

1:23 am

or is it a county?

1:23 am

it's a group of counties, nan

UL6 is a region, one of the 4 ancient divisions of ireland

1:23 am

really must go to Ireland some day -- it is difficult though when all the relatives are in Scotland.

seeing the clock i have decided to go to bed and leave the last 49 for tomorrow. chow allayou

1:29 am

thanks 1Mar :)

1:37 am

i must admit i didnt expect to see this word in the grid

1:39 am

it is nice to have them. Even though I managed to stumble over something lightyears away from us, lol. Stumble being a phantom.

1:40 am

I have to be off again, therapy in 20 minutes. Back later for the rest of this phantomy grid.

1:41 am

*hugs to those that will be gone when I get back he4*

1:44 am

night jilli

1:50 am

90 to go, just found my 2nd 8 (re8/40 to go with re8/45), what's the 3rd?

ishult, just found an ne8

2:22 am

TY MRP. how are you this lovely rainy night?

things are quiet! before the storm of moving! we are relaxing tonight and packing tomorrow and sunday

rain is a blessing, but not when moving LOL! how about you?

2:25 am

ugh, not nice. You probably still have stuff unpacked from last move! Are you having another open day this weekend as well - or maybe that has been resolved?

well, today a lady came through on a private appointment, she filled in an application and looks like she handed over a cheque for a deposit, but we can't be certain cause the agent hasn't told us anything yet. Tomorrow is still open house and they will just have to walk around the boxes!

we have a whole garage of stuff that wasn't unpacked!

2:27 am

I'll keep my fingers crossed the 'lady' comes through - one less headache

if we only have to pay 2-3 weeks double rent, will be more than happy with that!

oh lynxx, have you seen that news about the ABC childcare centres??

the government is bailing them out till the end of the year, then they are closing. That is a hell of a lot of people without childcare for next year.

2:31 am

I did, they didn't seem to have a good reputation beforehand. You wonder if they did some fiddling wiuth the books when they 'listed'. Good that the govt going to bail them out - a heap of childcare at risk

2:32 am

Oh - I didn't hear till the end of the year only. Not long! That's a huge issue

it sounds very suss, cause the guy who owns it is very strange... he did it all for the money. Childcare is more than about money and he was a ratbag

2:33 am

Mmmm my posts don't seem to be getting thru very well

yes, they are putting in $22 million which will cover 2 months only.

i am not sure if it would be a good/bad idea for the government to take over childcare in this country. It would certainly open their eyes to the plight of the working parents

2:36 am

Aren't they a publicly listed company now?

I chose not to work a regular hours job, cause I want to care for my kids, but there are many many that don't have the choices I do. ABC centres pushed the price of childcare over the top.

they are publicly listed, but haven't been active on the stockmarket for at least 6 months. their trading was suspended

2:40 am

Mmmm - very very suss. Such a vital 'industry' now, I hope the govt can at least be a caretaker until all those centres can be taken over. It would cause chaos!

2:42 am

hey all

hi sog :)

2:43 am

goodmorning bfsog

2:43 am

hows friday treating us so far

so far it is going good! lots of phantoms in this grid thou

2:44 am

not too bad - gridwise - and very well otherwise

2:45 am

G'd morning Babblers!

2:45 am

hi lori

hi lori :)

2:45 am

hi Lori!

2:46 am

i have more words than i do years to my age. thats always a good start

2:49 am

Hope the s's are kinder than yesterday's grid....

2:49 am

BBL dinner to fix

2:49 am

ciao lynxx

2:50 am

ebola's not a word? :/

might be a noun of sorts

2:57 am

morning all, am back

2:58 am

wb sprite

3:01 am

how's the grid, Lori? Poopy or good and chewy?

3:02 am

I've only nibbled so far. Thus it is good. Poopy comes late methinks.

3:02 am

with some grids we know right away, but mostly it isn't until the last run, lol.

3:03 am

I think it is interesting that re6/24 is in the grid while the next life is today's icon theme.

3:03 am

These letters look doable, but I'm always optimistic at the start. :D

*periscope up* hi sprite... :)

3:04 am

hey mrP :)

3:06 am

nordic light not valid??

not sure sprite... am stuck with the ne's

3:08 am

I tried borealis... won't take though.

3:09 am

Lose the i is a word though.... ----->

ah, that is because it is a shortened version

3:09 am

oh my. That is twice today. Blurted out the ne biggie too. Off to the sin bin with me again. I say sorry.

i see too many phatoms today

3:11 am

very phantomy grid

100 left but missing some crucial ones. bugger

3:20 am

got my second wind just now

3:20 am

MrP next time you use a B word can you make it one from the grid please?

3:21 am

lol

are the B's that nasty?? oh no!!

3:22 am

holy cow, tried an ou 7 as a joke, and it's a word. Wow

3:22 am

only some, mrP. Most aren't that hard.

3:23 am

lol Lori, gratz

3:23 am

41 b's can't be anything but nasty

3:24 am

That ou 7/48 is my official head-shaker for the day.....

3:24 am

I agree

sprite, you are a B magnet... I hate B's!!

and F and C and K and U

3:25 am

let me know if you need clues :) I'll take a B over a K any day.

but, I am sick like that

3:25 am

now now mrP, try to spell it right ok...

I can do it right... does that count??

3:26 am

of course!

3:27 am

lol

3:27 am

looks like I made fireworks anyway. Can I offer anything before running off?

a vodka, lime and soda please :D

3:28 am

Congratulations sprite. Nope, I'm good here, loosely speaking.

3:28 am

*pours mrP her drink*

3:28 am

wtg sprite

3:28 am

lol Lori, ok :)

ah! vanilla vodka! nice touch sprite!

well done sprite too!

3:29 am

anything to make you smile, babe ;) Have a great day and/or a lovely night, all of you. See you tomorrow.

have a great day sprite! see you later!

3:29 am

Later sprite, have a good one.

3:31 am

Good morning/evening all.

wow, for once the i's and the h's were easy

evenign haz :)

evening even

3:31 am

G'd morning Haz

3:32 am

Hello there - just got started, this grid looks okay.

it is quite nice, then the wall ... but not too bad

3:33 am

I'll enjoy the bit before the wall!

I just watched 'signature dish' and it was the most amazing thing I had seen! I reckon it would cost about 200 pound in a restaurant though! LOL Salmon mousse.... amazing

3:42 am

You just need to say salmon and I'm sold.

salmon is my fave fish and my son is addicted to sushi salmon :)

3:45 am

And it's good for you. Usually the food you love comes with health warnings.

when I was losing weight, I ate salmon every night with spinach.

love the stuff!

3:46 am

I can't imagine you ever needing to lose weight!

3:47 am

Or was the salmon a healthy way to keep your weight stable?

oh haz! thanks darling, but I did need to after one treatment that I had with prednisone... it was just an aweful drug

3:48 am

It's a type of steroid? I've heard husband talking about it.

3:48 am

it causes massive weight gain, mood swings and hirsuteness??(sp)

it is like steroid... I was having a big dose too, so hated it after 6 months, and I ballooned from it

3:48 am

Hello, back. Morning Haz

3:48 am

hairiness

3:49 am

wb Lynx

3:49 am

I always think of the 'moon face' when people talk of weight gain with steroids.

3:49 am

Good morning/evening lynxxx.

well gaurdian, i was having radiotherapy at the time, so hairiness was not the problem!! I lost alot of that! And moon face is exactly what if was like

3:50 am

Well, mrp, the salmon and spinach seem to have done the trick.

I think I grew some balls though! LOL

3:51 am

et

3:52 am

sorry you went through that Mr P, glad it's all behind you now

yes haz, brilliant stuff... all the vitamins and oils needed. breakfast was greens and beans lunch was salad and fruit and nuts

3:53 am

The mrp patented diet - move over Atkins.

ah don't worry guardian! am twice the woman I was before! Half the weight thou!

3:54 am

smiles

3:55 am

watching a lovely little NZ movie by Peter Jackson (of LOR movies). Pretty to look at and well done. About zombie sheep! the things you do b4 you are famous

oh lynxx! that would be fun!

3:56 am

Its on Showtime 1 if you have that MRP

for real?? will go looksie

black sheep

3:58 am

thats it

Ok good morning afternoon to all its Hello and good bye for me. nice grid so far and I must off to the world of the sick.

4:00 am

Hi/bye Red...your dogs is nearly he**

I am enjoying videos on youtube! trying to get lickety to put videos back into fireworks! we found one, but it is a parody/spoof of david attenborough with swear words... but funny as heck

hi turtle :)

4:01 am

Have a good one red

4:01 am

You can't mess with Sir David Attenborough. It's against the Law of England.

ok, found another one... the two presidential candidates... doing a dance off! that is the one going up

4:03 am

mrpresident, has Lickety ever seen the Creature Comforts segments on youtube? Same animators as with Wallace and Grommit, putting people's words into animals' mouths.

so if you are expert... hold off on fireworks for a little bit... video coming on

he hasn't seen it, will go check it out!

4:04 am

Don't put any pressure on him, though, there is a move to be thought of first!

haz, he is lying next to me, music blaring... trying to impress his son with youtube videos that are highly inappropriate! need to divert his attention

4:05 am

Okay, permission granted!

the only pressure is.... not to smother him with a pillow!

4:07 am

No, don't do that. You'd have a horde of listless (not by choice) babblers on your back.

ah, time to start bribing then??

4:09 am

I'll leave it up to you to decide how to cope with him. But be gentle!

Haz, if you knew the words coming out of his mouth right now... you would be slapping him up the side of the head and getting the poison from the top shelf! apparently, youtube has changed something so he can't upload videos

4:10 am

Oh well, tell him not to worry - we can cope without videos.

4:12 am

Exactly, they were very cute but not worthy of any hassles to Lickety

ok, fireworks video is up.

4:13 am

The David A one? I'll remember to switch over

no lynxx... the presidential candiate one...

do you want a link for the david A one??

4:14 am

That would be good if easy

ok, coming up

4:17 am

prezzie baby!

4:17 am

hey all (do i say that too much?)

4:17 am

hi Nut

4:20 am

oh prez, i need to ask you questions for my upcoming investigation sometime

4:20 am

Good morning elder.

4:21 am

First word - that injures people. Not a good start to the day.

4:21 am

Have a good day, Dr Nut.

4:21 am

I sure do hope you've got something on under that cape. Bye Nut

4:21 am

Hi Elder

4:22 am

TY MRP will savor it later

4:22 am

Hope everyone is ok. I am going to the shops (perhaps one.) with friend today. First excursion for months.

4:23 am

yep, good, bye now

4:23 am

Enjoy it, elder, but don't overdo things.

4:23 am

Bye EVe.

4:24 am

Haz, Thank you. I am so looking forward to it but I will need to take care.

4:25 am

G'd morning elder!

4:25 am

Are you able to walk without assistance or do you need a stick/walker?

4:25 am

hello LoriP.. now to peek at Icon.

4:25 am

oooh, take it easy elder, but enjoy. :)

4:26 am

Lorip, Wondeful :)

4:26 am

Ack 49 left after the first sweep. Gonna' be anotehr long day....

4:26 am

Lori's icon is, as usual, very funny.

4:27 am

Haz, need a stick and the assistance of her arm if required.Drives me nuts, as you are so restricted with a stick.

4:27 am

and the ongoing stops to rest the back.

4:28 am

I can imagine! I had a bout of back trouble a year or more ago and hated not being able to move freely.

4:28 am

oh no! you can prod people that are annoying you - what fun!

4:28 am

elder, movement is a good thing, irregardless of how. As long as things get betetr instead of worse, 'yer all set.

4:29 am

It's so restricting and the temptation to poke people is at times immense.

4:30 am

Major chat lag. lol elder, easy with the cane....

4:30 am

Just make sure you've got your innocent face on afterwards.

4:30 am

I find also that you have to be careful not to use the stick as an extension of your arm e.g gesticulating .

4:31 am

Can you imagine what lame Italians are like?

4:31 am

Especially in fine china shops.

4:32 am

Another Capo Di Monte gone!

4:32 am

Will try to type faster. and look innocent as I lunge at people to poke. :)

4:32 am

Haz, lol

a stick! now that would be fun

4:32 am

LoriP. lol

4:33 am

Hello Mr P.

hi elder :))

4:34 am

Seriously, elder, I hope you enjoy it.

4:35 am

But it's times that I did something else. Yes, Lori, I'm going to do housework.

4:35 am

Haz. Thank you.

4:35 am

haz, House work again !

4:36 am

'Haz'

4:36 am

I'll be back later - have a good day everyone, and elder, careful with the plastic. It may be your flexible friend but you end up paying the bills!

4:36 am

bye Haz

4:36 am

Housework is something you do that nobody notices unless you don't do it... Bye!

4:37 am

Yes, * giggles*, Bye for now.

4:37 am

Housework? I beg to differ, here nobody notices unless I do it. Later Haz

only when i do housework, does it get noticed here! LOL I get invited out to dinner when I do housework!

4:39 am

Worth it then Mr P.

4:39 am

LoriP, try that.

5:26 am

and then come into the world again-or drill a hole again

5:26 am

thanks so much Eva, found all 4 of them

5:26 am

do not see any of the bottom N words

5:27 am

the u has me stumped, aside from not having come into the world

5:27 am

thanks for the U word, Eva

5:27 am

and the n is insane...the only one I have is what we did to poor Merp

5:28 am

don't know what you did to Merp

5:29 am

what responsible pet owners to with male cats

I'm guessing by my N's Merp is an animal ?

and good morning

cut off his . . . .

5:29 am

oh, thanks Eva. NBT!

5:30 am

yes and good morning Kristine. Actually, the shelter had already taken care of it before we adopted him

5:30 am

how about some other hints for that bottom n?

5:30 am

I keep trying nerve things but haven't been succesfull

um , up in the galaxy are 5 Ne's

5:31 am

Morning all. The other 'n' words have to do with a gloud of gas up in spacw and rose oil.

ne6/27 think of cloud

5:31 am

I have been doing that too

also plural

and latin ending

5:31 am

I am EJ, must be spelling them wrong

5:31 am

thanks so much everyone!

5:32 am

thanks EJ, found two more n words

5:32 am

got those 3-am still missing 6

me2

there are 5

there's the one that sounds like the fiddling roman emperor

in that line

5:32 am

you mean 5 stemming from the sky things

singular , latin , plural , different vowel ending on singular

yes Eva

one of them is the respiratory device

5:33 am

okay-just found the 8

ty Jean , didnt know how to clue that one

:-)

5:34 am

thanks again!

5:34 am

I have always seen that ne8 spelled with a z, ty

5:35 am

have ne8 and re8. what does the last 8 start with please

5:35 am

there's another one peri-an re, wehre one has to remember the british s instead of z thing

5:35 am

it's an 8

5:35 am

found the last 8 thanks

5:36 am

You should be able to make a 9 by putting an 'r' on the end of the ne8. Enable says 'No', though.

5:36 am

I thought so too, stupid enable!

5:37 am

What a pity I can't enter words into Babble just by thinking them. I'm going to need my hands for various chores and some cooking. Will have to take another break soon.

6:43 am

i notice that my part of the family o,er there dont say "cheerio" anymore just "cheers"

6:44 am

i have a speak and type program that you would love jacula:)

6:44 am

I would still say cheerio.

6:45 am

Sounds very useful, crossy.

6:46 am

my grammy turns 100 today she still lives in her own little place in cornwall 2 artificial hips,deaf as a post but still make yer own yorkie pudding;))

6:46 am

How do those speak and type programs cope with accents? Broad Glaswegian, for instance?

6:46 am

I dinna ken, hen.

6:46 am

Happy Birthday to Crossy"s grammy!!!!

6:46 am

you can adjust it for accents jacula

6:46 am

it learns from you

6:46 am

Exactly Haz.

6:47 am

though if its too salty it may have problems

good morning babblers :)

6:47 am

It's not just a case of accent, if dialect words come into play I could foresee problems.

6:47 am

it called "dragon speaking naturally"

6:47 am

Hello Nono.

6:47 am

brb have to make offsprings lunch

6:47 am

hi nono

6:48 am

Hello Nono.

6:48 am

hi nono

6:48 am

The results could be hilarious, Haz.

been her maybe 10 minutes and havent stopped typing in words yet

6:48 am

I know. I have visions of the computer self-combusting.

6:49 am

Spellcheckers yield some amusing results. I remember us typing a set piece at college which was about a holiday to Tivoli. The spellchecker suggested 'shovel' as an alternative to 'Tivoli'.

6:50 am

The mind boggles.

6:50 am

I wonder if spellcheckers recognise 'boggles'?

6:51 am

Just tired bongles in word and it gives boggles as a suggested alternative.

6:51 am

Just went into word and did a spellcheck. It does, at least on UK version. It's not something I ever use.

6:52 am

*tried

6:52 am

(Spellcheck, that is.)

6:53 am

The trouble with spellcheck is that it doesn't know if you've misstyped if the word is still a real one, e.g. ties instead of tries.

6:53 am

It's annoying when it won't recognise place names etc. And you're right, context matters.

6:54 am

..Or the common letter opening error - 'Dead Sir' instead of 'Dear Sir'.

6:54 am

Haz - It always wants to put another 'b' into the name of my village.

6:54 am

Doesn't your program allow you to add the word?

6:55 am

I love the Dead Sir.

6:55 am

Very common typing error, that, Haz.

6:55 am

It probably does, oodle, but why fix something when you can grumble about it instead?

6:56 am

oh i see.. that's much better ;-)

6:56 am

oodle - I never use spellcheck. Having been a proofreader, I prefer to trust my eyes.

6:57 am

Jacula, I nearly wept at the sight of a van claiming to sell greeting cards and stationary.

6:57 am

this speak and type program is exellent.up here we say toronto "toranna" and you can teach the program to type the word correctly regardless of what our mush mouth sounds like:)

6:57 am

well I'm impressed... Jacula

6:58 am

though my voice sounds like a fog horn so i wont use it this my better half crawls out of the sack for the day

6:58 am

Anyway, must take a quick break to get the paper. Nice to see you in daylight, Jac! See you later.

6:58 am

Haz, LOL! One of our local bus companies has wanted its vehicles to become paper and envelopes before passengers can stand for many years now.

6:59 am

'Bye Haz. 5 more minutes for me and then back to work with me.

6:59 am

crossy want a double decker bus! that would turn heads on the streets here

7:06 am

it never fails even if I don't know the amount of the words in the puzzle I always start getting clues at 50%

7:08 am

um that didn't make sense... I go to lickety at 59%

7:08 am

hello hello

7:08 am

(((((berry)))))

7:08 am

(((((wild)))))

7:08 am

mornin babblers!

7:08 am

hi eva

7:09 am

Hi wild and Eva

7:09 am

how is everyone today?

7:09 am

hi jac

7:09 am

hi eva

7:10 am

Babbling when I should be doing other stuff, EvaN.

7:10 am

same here jac!

7:12 am

Babble is the refuge from doing lots of other stuff - Hi all :)

7:12 am

Hi FM!

7:13 am

hi fm

7:13 am

yes, i should be doing work...heh

7:13 am

Hi there Annie, wild, Jacs, EvaN et al happy Friday!

7:14 am

Been working since 8am so I'm taking a quick babble break.

7:14 am

morning all

7:14 am

Hi FM.

7:14 am

hi dorens

7:14 am

morning, Dorens

7:15 am

Nice grid for a Friday too! Hi Dorens

7:16 am

wish it were a bit smaller... i have to drive to boston in an hour, and it can be a long ride

7:16 am

k gotta run bbl

7:17 am

Dorens, how long is the ride?

7:17 am

really depends on traffic.. average four hours without a stop

7:18 am

bbbye wild for me too bbl

7:18 am

Thats quite a drive.

7:19 am

fortunately i have a very comfortable car and enjoy audio books for the ride. and it is worth it to visit with my granddaughter

7:19 am

Dorens, For some reason I thought it was 6 hours. It is still a long drive.

7:19 am

re

7:20 am

when there is bad traffic, which can happen often, it can be. Last month it was.... all the people going up to New Hampshire for the foliage, etc. and I went on a three day weekend... so friday took over six hours. disgusting

7:21 am

dorens, 6 hours is way too long...hope you stopped along the way to regroup

7:21 am

Are you there for the weekend or longer Dorens?

7:22 am

just the weekend... my son and daughter in law have bought a house and are packing, but he is away for the weekend speaking at some conference, so I will visit with Phoebe and help Liz with some packing. hope to take her to meet Vicuna at her art show tomorrow

7:23 am

sounds great all round :)

7:23 am

yup annie, i can do four hours with no stop, but any longer than that is insane

7:23 am

dorens, how lovely..

7:23 am

as long as there is no traffic on the roads, I hate stop and go stuff, but do enjoy driving on an open road

7:24 am

I want to come with you and meet Vi!!

7:24 am

So do I!

7:24 am

quick, fly on over, the two of you!

7:24 am

I once drove my daughter back to college ( 4 hours) and then back home (4 hours) but I was much younger then

7:24 am

Haz!!! How lovely to see you :)

7:25 am

Hello again, Haz.

7:25 am

Hello there! Just back from a quick walk - quite windy out there and it's to get worse tonight.

7:25 am

A trip to Vi's art show sounds much nicer.

7:25 am

Unfortunately the babble jet is in for servicing this w/e :(

7:25 am

Hello Jacula!

7:25 am

oh no, would have been delightful... you could have brought jac as well

7:26 am

We have sun today instead of the grey of the last 4 or 5 days.

7:26 am

Two minutes - have to shift cars.

7:26 am

hmh! think you sent the grey over here then.

7:27 am

sorry Dorens but I needed to see some sun it has been so miserable and wet.

7:28 am

fm with your icon, i always think of sun when you're here

7:29 am

It cheers me up too :)

7:29 am

Like Aloys, always makes me smile.

7:30 am

OK time to bring the monkeys in as I am obviously getting desperate when trying words like sleeb!!

7:31 am

Being the sort of rest you get with a stuffed up nose?

7:31 am

yes, and since my plan is to leave in an hour, i need to find another 152 words!

7:31 am

LOL

7:32 am

One word to go, listless.

7:32 am

Tsk don't you hate that - I was just feeling pretty good about having 60 left!

7:32 am

i will most def need list today.. but not until i'm halfway. go, jac!

7:33 am

ok, go fMitch as well

7:33 am

Smugness abounds here, FM.:D At least it will when I find my o7.

7:34 am

I'll get there in the end but still have work to do. Haz I have a courier coming this afternoon shall we predict ratings now? *grin*

7:35 am

lol Jacs, I remember seeing a post by Lori much earlier saying that is was a silly word sor something along those lines

7:35 am

I say a 6.

7:35 am

I think it must be 'opposite of in' + something.

7:36 am

ooh! i found OU7!

7:36 am

A 6 - that high, I think it will be the nice bloke that usually turns up with this Co, 4 would be being generous.

7:36 am

Well done, EvaN.

7:36 am

wtg EvaN!

7:37 am

If he's nice, does personality not give him a couple of points?

7:37 am

LOL, Haz & FM. Are you rating the delivery men for fanciability?

7:37 am

heh, i sounded way more excited about that than i probably should have... it was a sudden burst of slight consciousness...

7:37 am

OK a 5 then :)

7:37 am

Kind of, Jacula. Of course, efficiency is the most important aspect....

7:38 am

Well yes Jacs, but Haz started this a while ago, although of course I get the blame :)

7:38 am

When do I ever start anything?

7:38 am

Hmm, I've ordered quite a few books. Hope I get to see the nice delivery man a few times. Ssh! Don't tell Paul. LOL

7:38 am

hints for the E above the H?

7:38 am

I am Mrs Innocence.

7:39 am

yay! am past half way and going for the list

7:39 am

A couple have to do with joining up, EvaN.

7:39 am

EvaN - what you do to join college.

7:39 am

The firearms officers were still the best but I guess they don't count as they were not classified as courriers.

7:39 am

thanky :)

7:39 am

Go Dorens!!!

7:39 am

And there are snake-like fish.

7:40 am

Firearms officers probably have the advantage of a decent uniform.

7:40 am

well. you should snake-like fish me for missing that one!

7:40 am

Strange, isn't it? You get the ou7 and miss the ee4.

7:42 am

FIREWORKS! That ou7 IS a stupid word.

7:42 am

its friday. thanks to daylight savings last weekend, its now dark at like 4:30. im sleepy all the time now. :(

7:43 am

Well done, Jacula!

7:43 am

Must dash - off to corner shop (that's not on a corner) first and then to other jobs.

7:43 am

Congrats Jacs!!

7:43 am

Yay for Jacula!!!!!!

7:43 am

Happy Babbling all. x

One u describes somewhere not yet assigned to a tenant.

8:15 am

that's the one I need , can't monkey it.....

totally

8:15 am

8:15 am

to ** or not to **

8:15 am

the point total gives it away. un + to ** or not to **

8:15 am

oh! got it , yes, ridiculous

8:15 am

Interesting looking grid, but then, aren't most of them?

8:16 am

Yes, Merk, quite a lot of interesting words.

8:17 am

neighbor's here, brb

8:27 am

Who or what dared to interrupt you?

8:28 am

There's also a famous schoolboy with the same name.

8:30 am

twas hubby, Haz. Am afraid his needs come before babble

8:31 am

acck1 someone nudge me with a few of the el,s please?

8:31 am

He'd be terribly politically incorrect today (Billy Bu6)

8:31 am

Well, in that case, Nono, he's forgiven.

8:31 am

e + old instrument

8:31 am

and pl

8:32 am

el 6 - el plus an anagram of what the old instrument might play.

8:33 am

Please clue the e's I don't have... :)

8:33 am

elbow keeps trying to get in my way:(

8:34 am

Or if el6/21 began with fl, it would indicate language competence.

8:34 am

Thanks! That's more betterer.

8:35 am

Now my e's are done. :D

8:35 am

Well done!

8:35 am

8:45 am

good morning all. i'll take a clue for the the UL6...

8:45 am

Good morning, all. Anyone else using words from the grid for their icons today?

8:46 am

G'd morning Bernice, python

I am enjoying the grid ... beats being outside on this blustery day

8:53 am

Judi, have you got coffee today? ***asks fearfully***

8:53 am

Were any others of you caught in this nasty winter storm?

8:54 am

double digit temps here!

8:54 am

I do, Lori. I just haven't had time to drink much of it. Hence the blah blahs.

not far behind you Merk, 87 to go

8:54 am

You're in a snowstorm Merk? Ack. My condolences.

8:55 am

Is there more than 1 li? I'm missing 2 annoying l's.

good Lord Merk, no storm here thank goodness

8:55 am

Heard on the news this a.m. that Utah got dumped on. 12 foot drifts. Sounds perfectly miserable.

8:56 am

Just one li, Lori.

8:57 am

hmm. 2 la's, 7 le's, 6 los', and 9 lu's. (I think) + the li

8:57 am

first 2 letters of my missing ones would keep me from reaching for the arsenic...

11 lu's

8:58 am

Aha! Thanks muchly Nono. lu it is.

9:01 am

Returns to sanctuary Hi again

9:01 am

The Dakotas got dumped on as well. The snow is bad enough, but when it blows and drifts ....

9:01 am

Found 'em 2 4's no less. Thanks again Nono.

9:02 am

wb FM. Merk, that is totally gross. :(

9:03 am

152 and stuck...time for the list...*sigh*

9:04 am

The worst part is that it is my only granddaughter's third birthday today and she lives 120 miles away. The storm blew away my plans to visit her today. I telephoned her and she seems to understand because she had a lot of snow, too. She couldn't understand why her Mama wouldn't let her out to play in it.

9:05 am

:( Bummer about the weather, but 'yer heart is there Merk. happy Birthday to the little one!

9:06 am

hello all

I am missing the 2nd or 3rd st5/10. Have checked morewords and still do not see it.

9:08 am

9:10 am

It's a common babblet though peri :)

9:10 am

st5/10 - the one under discussion is a strange one. It's not normally accepted by enable either, but Dr-G made an exception for it because so many babblers wanted it included.

9:12 am

You mean if we petitioned him enough he might allow internet and spam etc?

9:12 am

Got my hands on some long pepper. We#ll see how that works in this one.

11:13 am

Walter announced this morning that he wanted couscous for dinner, and we're on a budget so I decided to stew some cheaper meat and thus the tagine.

11:14 am

Also thus the samosas yesterday and gyoza the day before-- we're going to be eating a lot of cheaper meats for s bit and one does tire of meatloaf and pork chops every day.

11:15 am

Walter has now encased himself in the transparant laundry hauling bin and says he feels like he has a new home in there...

11:15 am

Objects are being sucked into the bin as if by magic... there go my winter gloves...

11:17 am

hello all!

11:17 am

It's a mini black hole ..

11:17 am

Now he's pointing at the store logo, which says Blokker, and says it says that the bin is for Walter and laundry because it says "Walter Walter Laundry Laundry."

11:17 am

Hi Skooj!

11:19 am

Thing is he can recognize his own name now written, because at school they move the chairs around, and also he can recognize the name iof the girl he's fallen in love with (Anouk) and gets right put out if her chair hasn't been put by his.

11:19 am

hey, monkey!

11:20 am

OK, time to get back at it. Couscous must be swelled up by now, so I just need to get the gravy to the right consistency. Have fun, everyone!

Latest news: gun enthusiasts nationwide are stocking up on firearms out of fears that the combination of an Obama administration and a Democrat-dominated Congress will result in tough new gun laws.

2:29 pm

2:31 pm

Cross,, * giggles* bless :)

2:31 pm

In Virginia: When 10-year-old Austin Smith heard Barack Obama had been elected president, he had one question: Does this mean I won't get a new gun for Christmas? That brought his mother, the camouflage-clad Rachel Smith, to Bob Moates Sports Shop on Thursday, where she was picking out that special 20-gauge shotgun — one of at least five weapons she plans to buy before Obama takes office in January.

2:31 pm

some people are NUTS

2:32 pm

seriously Une - absolutely nuts

2:33 pm

evening all

2:33 pm

hey, kazzer :-)

2:33 pm

ok, so I'm 121 in, 120 left - and still have 2 BTs!

2:33 pm

Une, well lets hope he never feels the need to use it. Some Mothers leave me speechless.

2:34 pm

elder, of course this kid will use it.

2:34 pm

for "hunting"

2:34 pm

and what the HELL is a 10 year old getting a 20 guage shottie for anyways?!!

2:35 pm

thank you crossy!

2:35 pm

like I said, NUTS!!

2:35 pm

ASgreen, to clarify to kill another human. Although, I do have trouble with the killing of wild animals fro sport.

2:36 pm

im a hunter or was for many years and im sorry no ten year old needs a shotgun!!!

2:36 pm

elder, no 10 year old needs a gun.... period, end of story. (IMHO)

2:36 pm

snap asg

2:36 pm

of course not !

2:36 pm

my twins are turning 10 in December. the idea of them having guns is ridiculous - simply ridiculous

2:36 pm

yes crossy, snap! :)

2:37 pm

the thinking is crazy!

2:37 pm

the mother says she "taught all five of her children — ages 4 to 10 — to shoot" because the family relies on game for food.

2:37 pm

doubtful

2:37 pm

year ago we used to start 15 year olds with 22 rifles at the gun range to learn the right way with instructors

2:37 pm

years*

2:37 pm

I nearly swore then....

2:38 pm

so the 10 yr old is the OLDEST!

2:38 pm

if she can afford a 20 guage shottie she can afford lots of food

2:38 pm

good point

2:38 pm

crossy - we have the same thought process!

2:38 pm

Cross, I thought that .

2:38 pm

tell her to move to a town and ... sheesh... forget it, I don't want her near other people

2:39 pm

elder :)

2:39 pm

a good 12 guage,410 guage or 20 gauge will run about 300 dollars

2:39 pm

meanwhile, u clues? or the 4 on the far right?

2:39 pm

er, the E on the far right that is

2:39 pm

yes! back to grid..crossy will go into steath mode and grub the clues

2:40 pm

any clues for bu 5/16 please

2:40 pm

pl for what a batter does Kaz

2:40 pm

and furthermore: Franklin Gun Shop outside Nashville, Tenn., sold more than 70 guns on Tuesday, making it the biggest sales day since the shop opened eight years ago. Guns & Gear in Cheyenne, Wyo., also set a one-day sales record on Tuesday, only to break that mark on Wednesday. Stewart Wallin, owner of Get Some Guns in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray, Utah, said he sold nine assault weapons the day after Obama was elected. That same day, the gun store Cheaper Than Dirt! in Fort Worth, Texas, sold $101,000 worth of merchandise, shattering its single-day sales record, store owner DeWayne Irwin said. One Georgia gun shop advertised an "Obama sale" on an outdoor sign, but the owner took it down after people complained that the shop appeared to be issuing a call to violence against the country's first black leader.

2:41 pm

2:46 pm

Asgreen :)

3:02 pm

Point of information - ul6 is neither a city nor a county in Ireland - it's one of the four ancient provinces along with Munster, Leinster and Connaught. It's included in enable because it's also the name of an overcoat. Information segment ended......

3:02 pm

back to finish

3:02 pm

hi haz!

3:02 pm

Don't know.and hello Jakes -mum

3:03 pm

Hello there!

hey to all i missed entering

3:03 pm

Haz, yes and of course you are right. Did not want to get things too muddled.

3:04 pm

It's probably because I live in the province that I want accuracy!

3:04 pm

hi babblers any clues for ou7 please ;o)

3:04 pm

Taking a break to watch ' I have got news for you' .

3:04 pm

Haz, understandably.

3:05 pm

why isn't "borealis" a word ???

3:05 pm

So, the boy's impressed, As, that's good.

3:05 pm

I'll follow your lead elder and have HIGNFY on as well.

3:05 pm

3:05 pm

3:06 pm

That's good - he'll sleep tonight.

3:06 pm

3:06 pm

ou7 - the opposite of came in.

3:07 pm

Haz that is never a word I am sure you made that on e up ... lol thanks

3:07 pm

sleep well - I'm sure you mean ;)

3:07 pm

TY Haz :)

3:07 pm

It's been declared the stupid word of the day.

3:08 pm

I will vote for that lol

3:08 pm

Sleep well, indeed, As.

3:08 pm

oh, sorry, I thought you typed "sleep good" - silly me for trying to correct Haz!!

3:08 pm

Haz, just a comment about your profile

3:09 pm

Oh dear, what have I done?

3:09 pm

hello all

3:09 pm

still can't find the ou7 - shame on me....

3:09 pm

just found the ou7, yes it is the dumbest word I have ever seen here

3:09 pm

hi peri! and hi lil!!

3:09 pm

i know you are a stickler for proper spelling and grammar... the correct word is "toward" not "towards"

3:09 pm

compound word, ASG

3:09 pm

It's literally the opposite of came in, As. Reverse word order and everything.

3:10 pm

silly word - tx!!

3:10 pm

forward, backward, toward... none have "s" at the end... although in modern current usage, I'm sure they are words now

3:10 pm

ts for ou clue - only 28 left

3:10 pm

clue for last bo6/27 plz

3:11 pm

92 for me... thinking of taking a break, but can't! lol

3:11 pm

I have one that would go with basse for soup

3:12 pm

like the pl bo 6/27 before but singular with double middle consonent

3:12 pm

ty kazzer

3:13 pm

lil*monkey - my dictionary gives towards first, with toward as an alternative. So either can be used.

3:13 pm

ok, kids are clamouring - bbs

3:13 pm

I stand corrected, TY , Haz

3:14 pm

clue for re7, 32 please

3:15 pm

Not correcting, lil*, we're both right.

3:15 pm

re7/32 - look at my icon, miusen.

3:24 pm

Towards is the plural ..

3:25 pm

whaaaaaaaaaat, tor?

3:27 pm

i'm looking haz, but I don't get it

3:29 pm

I'm back

3:29 pm

Backward is an adjective, backwards is an adverb, same for forward. Toward/towards are prepositions. But plurals might work...

3:29 pm

hola asG

3:30 pm

A diversion sign causes you to choose a new direction or take another road. Think of another word for road/direction and put re on front.

3:32 pm

Oh, get it now. Who needs torture?

5:57 pm

I got the re8 and the ne8. what's the last one?

yep. sucks major. But at least we didn't break down in the city on my birthday, which would ahve been a $200 plus towing cost and the car not been filed up. So that is a good thing. Its not my car. Its his.

Kallia my furbeast is in my flickr photos

5:58 pm

oh. well, at least you have one left to drive

5:58 pm

I don't live in Europe if that was at me

6:00 pm

6:05 pm

6:06 pm

kallia, you should get BabbleExpert unless you have a Mac

6:07 pm

why? does it stop me typing in the wrong box?

6:08 pm

yes indeed! ANd puts everything on the same page

6:08 pm

how do I get it?

6:08 pm

is it free?

6:09 pm

just email Lickety and he will send it to you

6:09 pm

it's free

6:09 pm

on his clue page?

6:09 pm

his email address is there

6:10 pm

I haven't been here for yonks

6:10 pm

ok thanks

6:10 pm

you're forgiven, lol!

6:10 pm

thank you lol

6:11 pm

He may take a little while to respond Kallia, they are moving this weekend

6:11 pm

I see you joined long ago, kallia

6:11 pm

thanks for telling me that...I'll leave it a week or so then...moving is hard work!!

6:11 pm

oh yes, almost at the beginning

6:11 pm

oh, didn't realise, lynxxx!

6:12 pm

welcome back!

6:12 pm

:)

6:13 pm

kallia, do you know about the icon themes?

6:13 pm

used to always finish the grid, but not going for that now ...time constraints

6:13 pm

sort of, soes sprite do that?

6:14 pm

does..

6:14 pm

yes, she lists them -- babblers send ideas to her

6:14 pm

ah ok, where does she list them?

6:14 pm

and where does everyone find the icons lol

We suggest them to her i will give you her profile link

6:15 pm

in her profile, which you can find at the top of the Rankings :)

6:15 pm

Kallia - Lickety had also developed a nice Bulk Add (populates his clue list with all the words you have found very quickly) Instructions at the bottom of his clue list. Nice feature if you haven't used/seen it

6:15 pm

we find icons in Google Images usually

http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz This is her profile

6:16 pm

ok, see I am going to have to get used to this all over again...don't usually go to the list though

6:16 pm

right click and use Save As...the images go to your My Pictures

Kallia When sprite is about you can add her as a friend so you dont ahve to use the tinyurl

6:17 pm

Me neither Kallia, but its nice to know about the tools available

OH and BFSOG did something else too

6:18 pm

I shamelessly use every possible help in order to save time but have my own little procedures, like getting No Blank Tiles (NBT) before going to Lickety

6:19 pm

kallia, you don't HAVE to do anything you're not used to!

6:19 pm

HI, all!

6:19 pm

hi Pam

6:19 pm

hi pamaramdam

6:20 pm

lyn! jilli!

6:20 pm

Hi Pamaranna

HI Pam

6:20 pm

Scrabs!!!!!

6:20 pm

pammarammadamma

6:20 pm

How are your ears, Pam?

6:20 pm

herin!

6:21 pm

you know, scrabs, I am beyond frustrated. I have moved into the 5th circle of hell.

6:21 pm

Aaargh, Pam! What is going on???

Hugs Pam

6:21 pm

oops got booted there...see Sprite looks like Bill Gates today lol

6:22 pm

Now, the rash is back in the ear.

6:22 pm

3rd tu5 please?

6:22 pm

Gte the steroid cream back in there.

owie pam

6:22 pm

I am thinking that an OTC hydrocortisone might do what the prescription lotion did--without the blocking of the eardrums....

6:22 pm

I mean the eustachian--sorry!

6:23 pm

The lotion was prescribed for 4 nights as needed--can I dab it in without filling the canal, scrabs?

Think i want to curl up and sleep some more

6:23 pm

tu5 like the tu4.5 before with a double second cons

6:23 pm

Yep, put some on a cotton swab...or try olive oil. And the ear drum is a barrier between the ear canal and the ET, unless you have a perforated ear drum.

6:23 pm

was your gig fun last night, herin?

6:24 pm

I know it is a barrier, but It completely blocked my ear, and I had to do the vasalva every hour...

6:24 pm

TY, Lynxxx.

6:24 pm

That is puzzling.

6:24 pm

half past the witching hour, better get to bed, got a busy weekend.

6:24 pm

BBL

6:24 pm

Sleep well, Kallia

6:24 pm

Goodnight all, catch you soon

6:25 pm

I know, scrabs... the doc said to use it, and the sudafed...

6:25 pm

ciao, kal

Night Kal

6:26 pm

maybe using the olive oil will cure and prevent....

6:26 pm

un5 please?

Pam people game over it was all good. Cat took off and hid (see my flickr pics) we were ment to go out today but the car has cost more than we have

6:27 pm

Pam, it sounds like you need a major roto-rooter job in your sinuses and ETs

6:27 pm

I;ll look at the pics in a bit, herin 8-)

6:28 pm

I know, scrabs....

if you click on my icon you can see them

6:28 pm

cute, herin

I couldn't see her and when b.f picked her up she went all floopy and protested

6:30 pm

I really appreciate your input, and compassion, scrabs... I have been dealing with the ear needing to have t4/7s in but since that procedure came about after my teen years, the docs won't do it--more problems than good outcomes, I guess...

ouchies pam.

6:31 pm

It is clearly so frustrating for you, Pam.

6:31 pm

thanks, herin and scrabs....

6:34 pm

does anyone have a clue for li7 please?

Pam blackheads and pimples in ears drive me nuts. I hate to think how frustrating and painful and irritating this is for you

6:34 pm

30 to go but the REs may prevent me from finishing. Hockey starts soon.

6:34 pm

li + se4 (My friend se4 me an e-mail) + vowel

6:35 pm

It is, herin,,,, but I think Scrabs may have given me hope re: the itching and rash...

6:35 pm

gotta got do some laundry and give my eyes a break from this hunt!

6:35 pm

thanks Scrabbler

well that is good Pam.

6:36 pm

back soon

6:36 pm

later jilli

later Jill. I should go have a shower and get organised for shopping

6:36 pm

later, jilli

6:38 pm

Is there anyone to clue me towards fireworks? I have 22 left. Maybe I will have to be a bog gorl and do it myself.

6:38 pm

LOL, scrabs

6:39 pm

Bye Jill

6:39 pm

I mean *big girl*

I am here sort of scrabs. thinknig of other things at the mo

6:39 pm

a bog gorl? *pictures scrabbler the gorilla meandering through the marsh*

6:40 pm

When I don't shave my legs I become a gorilla.

I was just thinking Scrabs got lost in the marsh Kyaking again.

HI Feather

6:40 pm

hello herin, what's new

6:40 pm

Hi feather--boys in bed?

6:40 pm

yup, just. did you get to hear about my poor boy's latest?

6:40 pm

Oh, no, Feather?

6:41 pm

hi Scrabbs, hi everyone.. I'm almost finished, so maybe I could help.. what happened, feather?

6:41 pm

hi, feather

6:41 pm

daniel...an ear infection wednesday that was so bad the ped said don't be surprised if it ruptures. it didn't thankfully. he's much much better now.

6:41 pm

si6 and 7 combo, please? Smarty pants lurkers, please help.

6:41 pm

aloy!!!!!!

6:42 pm

Scrabbler, quiet

6:42 pm

Hi Aloy--you will be my co-pilot to fireworks!

6:42 pm

ouch, sorry for that, feather... hi pam! looking up si word

6:42 pm

Hmm, that maybe doesn't sound quite right, huh?

6:42 pm

oh... it is the opp of loud and noisy, Scrabbs... fisherino

6:42 pm

he was up from 2am to 5am randomly. i crawled in bed with him at 5, where i don't think he slept much, because he was literally screaming every 10 or 15 minutes.

Hi Aloy

6:42 pm

TY, flosey. At first I though you were telling me to shut up and stop whining

6:43 pm

hi all :) stuck on the en words.. little clue please?

6:43 pm

NEVER! yw scrab

6:43 pm

Oh, feather, as I said earlier this week, I am sorry, and can relate....

6:43 pm

Thinking of a hot compress for my own ear....

6:43 pm

Feather, it would have been better for Daniel if it had popped---> immediate relief of pressure and then the ear drum would seal over

6:43 pm

hi herin! I am feeling down.. I offended a very old friend with a political email.. must write an apology, sniff

6:43 pm

i know, i've been whining about my poor baby since wednesday! lol, sorry to those hearing it for the second or third time.

HUGS Aloy. We all have an oppinion

6:43 pm

Oh, aloym, so sorry!

6:43 pm

Scrabs, quiet and more quiet.

6:44 pm

en5==what you do when you sign up for a course

6:44 pm

No probs, feather... wish my own ear would pop

6:44 pm

ohhh, owie pam! earaches are the worst, next to toothaches

6:44 pm

ty Scrab...looked everywhere but there lol!

6:44 pm

feather, when your young ones hurt, you hurt too

6:44 pm

must have underestimated her conservatism... I thought the email was funny, and she was offended

6:44 pm

next to ehadaches...

6:44 pm

Oh, Aloy...good luck. This election really drove up emotions and much is better left unsaid.

6:44 pm

Ugh, sorry, aloy!

6:44 pm

next to migraine headaches

6:45 pm

those too

6:45 pm

yes, I have learned the hard way... will be more careful next time

6:45 pm

((((ALOY))))

ALoy Tell her water duck sorry to offend

6:46 pm

I seem to be reasonably allied with the libertarians I know--they think they're conservative and I marxist, but we agree on a lot of the fundamentals 8-)

6:46 pm

my dad has me on a "family" email list, and sends me all sorts of political stuff that is pretty much the opposite of my personal leanings. i just usually delete right away, rarely even read them past the first few words that tell me it's political.

6:46 pm

aw, thanks Babblers.. am feeling a bit better already.. hugs are nice, pam.. yay for cyberhugs!

I always offend people I just open my mouth

6:46 pm

I get lots of e-mail that I find inappropriate, but I just delete it rather than cause a stink. Other people may not know my opinions. And I make the choice to ignore stuff.

6:46 pm

your dad might now my sister, feather....

6:46 pm

water duck? lol.. what's that herin?

6:46 pm

like water off a duck's back aloy

Water of a ducks back

last re6/18 plz?

10:00 pm

how many more cj?

10:00 pm

80 :((

10:00 pm

You can do it...

10:00 pm

...do you ever use Lickety's List or Morewords?

10:00 pm

re6/18: store grain again in tall round building

10:00 pm

ty and hope so...

10:01 pm

use lickety's but some words won't work

10:01 pm

wow, my eyelids keep drooping on me

10:02 pm

it's not taking tyger :(

10:02 pm

cj - what do you mean by some won't work?

10:02 pm

what, pini?

10:03 pm

they are in Lickety's list but when I type them in says not in dictionary

10:03 pm

you entered them in Lickety?

10:03 pm

re + si4/4???

10:03 pm

or you just used the clues?

10:03 pm

is that not what you're cluing tyger?

10:03 pm

no got them from the list

10:04 pm

no, pini - it's not. change last vowel to another

10:04 pm

says not in dictionary :(

10:04 pm

thank you!

10:04 pm

cj, I load my words into Lickety, and then use BabExp to transfer them to here

10:04 pm

yw, pini

10:05 pm

so anything that's accepted by Lickety works here

10:05 pm

ohhhhh that might help

10:05 pm

si4/4 is the noun; re6/18 uses the verb

10:05 pm

ty will try it

10:05 pm

and the verb has that different vowel ending :)

10:06 pm

do you have Babble Expert, cj?

10:13 pm

I will NEVER understand women who go for those shriveled up ancients when they're young

10:13 pm

looks like a drawing my daughter might do, herin. when she used to draw and paint, that is... don't think she has much time for it these days.

10:13 pm

just as I will never understand "cougars"

HI Nats and everyone i missed. Hugh Hef (the man that all my male friends and some of my g/fs want to be) has had another girl leave him. There was Holly, Kendra and Bridget. Holly was there for 7 years/kendra and her both left
