im not even trying to obtain satisfaction from this grid tonight lol
It is *really* REALLY cold in my house. I'm going to have to get offline soon and huddle under blankets
kiwi looking rather like the cat who drank the cream i guess it goes without saying you had a good time last week
i think thats putting it mildly lol but i did have no kids last night and what happens i crash on the couch and slept right through a date rofl
i cant get no satisfaction cause i tried and i trieds
gotta believe that seacow is a word.
oh Kiwi was it that boring or were you that worn out??
wa 8
this grid is so twisty gonna be hard not to miss words
i was on my feet all day yesterday running a sausage sizzle fundraiser - came home at 5 thought put my feet up for an hour as i didnt have to meet him till 7 next thing i know its midnight and there were 10 texts from him on my phone lol

I have 128 and NBT and all 3 9s, 8 of the 8s, only 6 of the 17 7s :(

been head down in the grid, have three 9's, does everyone else have them?
wtg jili
thanks, tyger -- didn't think anyone had noticed it
hi Rose
oh, just saw your remarks jilli, and hi lynxxx
I was lurking earlier, and think I've got 159, but I think I'm ready to give up, and wait for one of you clever types to produce a clue list ;)
I've only got one, rose
just the 1 so far
the af9, which seemed fairly obvious, once someone mentioned it
would you like the stats?
and it gave me the 2 other words associated
ahh, ty tyger, i just got that too, thanks to you
you've finished, rose??
yvw, josh

I swore the other day that I wasn't going to do any more grids over 200 words until Lickety was back. I've made a liar of myself :sigh: but I don't think cj (and some others) regret it ;)

Hi Fm
worse than having a baby lol
Congratulations Volley!
Congrats Volley Hi Huga
wtg Dee - congrats
Hi Lori
Congrats Volley!!
ty ty hug; ru; bro; lori...everyone who helped great group effort... congrats hug!!!
well, Dee... we did it listless again!!
Hi FM :)
lickety listless, but we sure had lots of lists LOL
and I missed Hugs! Congrats too!
hi FM
really feel like we accomplished something huge with 299
thanks lyn :o)
hi fm
Oops, I missed hugs too. Congratulations!
Hello lynxxx
yep, I feel really good about it
Group effort really feels good, doesn't it?
I don't know how folks can do these huge grids w/o help
sure does
Teamwork is everything sometimes. Nice job.
I so enjoy doing it as a group... like the old days
ty lori; ty fm... too bad you weren't here 30 minutes ago lol
is this how they did it in the old days?
I was still struggling with t's and s's 30 mins ago :)
yep, before BabAnon and Lickety
I had slit chat over. :(
Yes Volley
:~) wasn't sure how you managed before
I've been lovin' this, watching everyone help each other out for a common goal. Very nice.
what is the largest grid you did this way hug? I agree Lori.
oh, I have it somewhere... I actually printed out all the words... it was gi-normous
wow...very impressive
I "think" it was over 600 or darn close to it
no way!
grid size varied then as it does now but somehow we still managed to get there in the end
amazing that you finished
how long has babble been in existence
but we had the whole community working at it together too
takes your mind off life; that's for sure when you do it this way
I've been here since Aug 3/05 and it was around way before that
***smiles in the background at the history***
we joined around the same time Huga
very cool; I can't remember if I found this game through ask.com, or if a tangleword person told me about it
I don't recall the grid size being different, but the tiles had the same count as Scrabble
yeah, I see that FM... pretty cool!
sorry I meant the no of wo4's in a grid
Marigold & Peri joined June 04
I wonder when it started
remember before this layout when the chat was under the grid. September 2003 Volley
wow very cool, and actually pretty brainy and creative for then
yeah, I remember that... and the stats were listed where the chat is now
was that distracting with it at the bottom?
Anyway as lovely as it is to chat I have to scoot. Pass the wo4 along if anyone is looking for a list to check my bio :)
Back later *poof*
bye FM, and Congrats to you too!
bye fm!!! thanks for info
bye FM have a great day
how do you get to bios if someone is not on?
and I think I'll take my leave now too. g'nite everyone
If you go to Rankings... you can click on their name in the lists
bye Hugs
gn hug; thanks again for all of your help and company; really enjoyed it. Aww, ty ... never knew how to do that.
cya tomorrow
and I am *poofing* also... have a geat day / eve all & hugs!
Later FM, hugs, Volley. Sleep tight
you bet... and thank you too Dee for all your help, couldn't have done it without you and everyone else's help
bye Volley
ditto & ta
thx hugs. And every one else, though I still have 18 to go.
Go broll go!
*runs in quickly* I'm not here today and tomorrow! Going up to sister;s overnight! see you monday evening!

Good luck Ata ***pullin' for her, good things to her***

Just in time to hear!
Hear what?
Voices?

Good morning carlee.

Okay, I'd better be on my way again before the grid swallows me up. Back later.
Morning carlee

amazing effort by everyone (esp. you of course)
hahaha....I was just helping out..trust me others do WAY MORE....
how is everyone finding today's grid?
Is there a list of any kind, anywhere? 61 to go and struggling.
there is one on FMs profile
TY - I'll have alook at that
Ack! s's finally vanquished.

Sleep tight Lynx

hey all,
Night carlee. G'd morning bf
im trying to be methodical, work left to right top to bottom on this grid. right now im on the d on the top row
Finally! All that time for the t's
good job, Lori
lol well done
Jeez. the tr 6/7, my brain refused to look up. When it did, voila!
good afternoon all
G'd morning sprite
hey sprite
Now to the a's. A is for ack!
afternoon Sprite & all
hey Ishult
G'd morning Ishult
good morning all. may I ask a stupid question? is lickety not doing the clues anymore, or are things bad for mrP?
mrP and Lickety just moved house again, they are busy getting back to normal.
i ordered a t-shirt earlier this week and they gave me a tracking code to enter at (well known UK postal service) however when i enter it i am told "items are only tracked after the item has been delivered" - so what is the point!
ah, i see. thankfully it's not health. thank you:)
and hi Mom :)
phantom: coward
how silly, bfsog
i know, so when it pops through my door obviously i know its delivered, then they expect me to track it online to be told its delivered. wow, really?!
they already accept the fact they often misdeliver and want to be able to see where it went wrong?
what delivery company bf?
well i dont know, when i enter the track code i get no info regarding parcels location, i think its standard practice. i guess the track code comes in handy if im not here to accept it, then i can find out which sorting office it was taken to
Royal Mail
I sent a package to aussie once and I could track it up until the dutch border... after that, nothing.
ah, okay
it goes to smugglers at the Dutch border...shhh ;)
lol!
bf...sounds more like Royal Pain-In-The-@ss Mail instead
Afternoon everyone.
How many today?
hello aethan
Howdy Mom. :)
299 words today
299 Aethanyc and hi

Thankssss. :] And hello right back, sprite.

:)
morning/afternoon everyone
One more question, longest word? :]
hi katie
Hiya Katie.
3 x 9 and 10 x 8 today, Aethan
9 letters
hey Katie :)
Thanks much, Sprite. :)
And Mom. :D
a's defeated!
G'd morning anyone I missed.
atta girl Lori
Afternoon Lori. :P
Betetr whack that o and remaining e. Have the o 9, so it should go easy, i hope....
first half went fast and smooth. I bet the other half will be irkitating?
blah, i'm drawing blanks..best to get some sleep and try later....bye folks :) have fun!
Sleep well, Mom!
sleep well Mom
I'm quite enjoying it. The awesome community effort here earlier, gave word breakdowns for bulky letters, and I wrote them down. Been mucho fun.
lol Mom, sleep tight. :)
my timing rocks
uhh.... okay
Hey Lori, got a clue for the o9? :)
or 8, first 5 letters of a long necked bird + a 3 letter Newfoundland fish, add a vowel for the 9
Thank youuu. :)
That comes from the left side o
-waves a Lori flag- :P Merci beaucoup.
thanks Lori!
oops, bad clue. first 5 letters of that bird if you spell it wrong... :)
good morning everyone
Newfoundland fish?
hey, I'm still not awake okay! :p
3 letetr fish, world famous
oh, and g'd morning Eva
Morning Eva. :)
hi Eva :) Lori, I am never certain of that spelling, so it worked perfectly for me.
a MA cope
never mind-your corrections gave it to me. Thanks!
Still haven't got it, but I'm working on it haha.
However, those of us who have lived in Boston would never think of it as a NF fish([: One of those things like pita that everyone claims as their own
I thought pita was originally from israel.
it's from the middle east, but many cultures claim it as their own
woot nice a9
isn't it!
Rightfully so, probably. All developed their own.
pita Look up pita at Dictionary.com "thick, flat bread," 1951, from Modern Heb. pita or Modern Gk. petta "bread," perhaps from Gk. peptos "cooked," or somehow connected to pizza (q.v.).
lol... Q.E.D. Thanks BabbleRabble.
I was almost certain pita was Greek?
It's easy to make too. But has the fresh stuff has to be eaten that day or turns rock hard.
a 9 was my first word!
wow Lori, nice start
yah, a mini smug moment. I love compound words. Sometimes....
hehehe I like them, but am no good at spotting them.
Alright, I'm off to get some lunch. Thanks again Lori for the clue. :D See you guys later!
bye Aethan!
Later Aeth
Vowel torture is over.... re's? What re's? :D
just found re compounds, Lori. A tr5 for you!
lol, off to the exciting world of w. Sesame Street style.
W w we wheeeee!
w for whoopeeee doo
you and me = double you = W w
I only wrote down totals for the s, t and a. This should be delightful from here on.....
a challenge at last :P
'Oh what is the letter we love, what sound are we extra fond of....'
lol Bibliocat!
Sorry, when you say W and Sesame Street, that's what comes to mind. ;)
heh, wa 8 is a word. whee!
a true connaisseur :)
does anyone know if anyone has put up any stats today?
FM said earlier she did Sandie
don't know, Sandie

Hi Nono, hurshy, Esprit elder and all if anyone wants a list I have one in my bio.

thanks FM I print it off for later when it is really needed
what's that photo you have fmith?
FM has a typical english coun'ryside, suitable for travel and 'igh adventure
I have one 8, sh8. Could use some help with the 9's and other 8's please
It's a photo of poppies growing wild
it's beautiful
It's one of Atalante's photos
peri: af9 = not now but later on

thanks bf
It's a wonderful sight Eprit when you see fields like that
esp if you're partial to opium or poppy-seed bagels
yes I should think so
There can't be 32 c's, unpossible.
they are all there LoriP i can promise you that just some are hiding
and the darn thing is Lori that they are all fairly straightforward c's too
***are you sure?*** :)
Hello lore :)
ce5/12 isn't straightforward
hi there FM hugs

15 x ca
c is for evil

I am true to form today :D
90 to go . . . ogg to take pups out to pee :-)
speaking of which, peri, if you see oodleberry, explain to him that it's not an insult.
only have 1 re word :(
ok
*loves that peri doesn't even ask why*
*ogg? . . . LOL . . . "off!"
ok, why, hursh
i said i loved it!
i mean i can tell you if you want to know but i was just observing the delightful uncuriosity of your nature
now, I am curious, hurshy
last night he asked a clue for a word he already HAD and i said, that's worse than pulling a peri! we'll have to call that pulling an oodle. he did not understand about the just teasing.
it was a classic pulling a hurshy.
not sure if I will see him, have to leave soon to go to a bridal shower
ah well, you know, anytime, if you happen to think of it.
who's getting married?
This utterly stupid -I can't believe I am having trouble with a 4 letter ar word... I've even tried some SOWPOD words, but getting nowhere.. Is it all becoming too much for me?
my godson, the shower is for his fiancee
the god of war, perhaps, lorrie?
at least, i think it's war.
No, I have that one, hurshy
I think it's the very last one
I think it's the very last one
I think it's the very last one
I think it's the very last one
well i have 2 besides that but they are both normal, and i miss 5 A's still, so i dunno
I think it's the very last one
I think it's the very last one
I think it's the very last one
I think it's the very last one
I think it's the very last one
Fireworks most welcome sight
Oops

Are you traveling with kje or by yourself or with a tour group, Pam?
why UAE in particular?
I am an independent tourist...
NBT!!!
I was in France, hursh, then wanted to be in the Middle East. Every country I picked had no flag, this one did. Guess it's this jew's plot for peace....
what is NBT, ardilla?
Monkey found os8 and 9--monkey deserves mega-tr5 for those finds!!
good night/day all happy babbling
I just went NBT, too!!!
qh
(no blank tiles)
Bye Ardilla
no blank tiles
Ciao, ardilla
i mean, ah
(or all tiles have at least 1 word found)
thanks, pini....
LOL, hursh.
I have 4 tiles to unblank still
It's hard to not start with all of these chog clues flying by...
^5 ardilla... =)
ty pini
if you have all 3 nines, you have the tr8 of 9's
Do you have anything better to do than being here in Babble Land?
i didn't find the 9 though :(
TY, husrh, for tr8!!
ty hursh
oh oh oh...THX!!!
LOL--I just like doing the grid at night these days. I am putting off: laundry, errands, writing a piece on heartworm (for the layperson)
i could write a piece on heartworm
it would go, heartworm is bad.
And, I am fighting a headache--though, seems to be a run-of-the mill sinus, not a doozy
give your doggie the pills so they don't get it.
EXACTLY, hursh. and PREVENTABLE.
*poof for real this time*
There, Pam, Hurshy wrote your article.
it's pithy, don't you think?
Indeed, hursh and scrabs 8-)
Absolutely pithy
No blank tiles now--phew.
good morning! - just getting started
Hi JBV
but then what do you tell a kid who says things like, "Mom, why do dogs get heartworm? Why don't I take a pill so I don't get heartworms? Can people get heartworms? Are they big? Are they long? Are they little? Will I die if I get a heartworm? Mom, why is the sky blue?, Are we there yet?...ETC ETC...
you say, look it up.
Good answer, hursh
pthththth! *snot*
i have awesome parenting skills, what can i say?
LOl, pini. Yes, there is a preventive, but some people don't take their dogs to the doctor, or give them pills to prevent diseases.... I could go on, LOL...
=)
It snowed overnight and is still snowing. It is beautiful with snow on the trees. BUT, I hear gunshots in the distance because deer season began yesteray and I am sad to think of my graceful visitors being killed.
I've got just one word 6+ letters
I am like you, hurshy--very pragmatic.
Yippee and welcome, forealms!
Hey, on another point...When someone is told to find a word in the dictionary to learn how to spell it; how does one look up a word if they don't know what they're looking for???
Wow, scrabs....
there are special dictionaries for that
They try various spellings until they find it
I was told how to spell it--with help, after I sounded it out, then sent to the dictionary
you can get a phonetic dictionary
I never heard of those, hurshy.
I still click on each word in these silly grids that I don't know... not that it helps 8-)
(Hey, all I was just kinda kidding - but you should see the look on a kids' face when that's the first answer they get..."Mom, how do you spell ***?" Reply, "Go look it up."
i dunno how well various spelling methods work... i learned to spell by reading. i don't know how else to do it.
and vocab and grammar...
pini, if your kids are in school, they probably have a personalized dictionary - at least we do that in our classrooms - each kid keeps his own list of words he's had to look up, etc.
I tell kids in my practice: reading should be your #1 hobby.
Good idea, JBC
And JBV too
and the most common spelling "demons" (words that are commonly misspelled) are put up on the Word Wall for easy reference
HS kids getting ready for the SAT say, "how should i study for the verbal section?", and i say, go back in time and read more books
I love the idea of a word wall...
I concur, hurshy
misspelled is often misspelled
(Oh, I'm just throwing thoughts out...my girls are 25 and 22.)
talk to your kids' teachers, I bet they have that =
I used word tricks with them while they were growing up ...
the liberated wailing word wall
...here's one for you if you're interested...
Haha, Hursh
[modestly blushing] I was a regional spelling champion in NYC in 1963
...how do know which there, their, they're to use?
wtg jbv
Yahoo, JBV, I am honored to be in your presence.
YAY, JBV!
they're going there to learn grammar, cause if they don't they'll get their a**** kicked?
: ) - we have a word wall in my office, too
And punctuation is critical too--I hate seeing misplaced apostrophes. Lynn somebody's book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves is a hilarious look at that.
love that book!
Lynn Truss?
anyone?
we should have a national Commission on the Apostrophe - maybe I'll write to Obama
i gave you an answer pini
She is awesome, Lynn Truss is!
Pini, are you asking for a rule?
Oh...sorry...didn't know that was for me!!!
or are you asking about how to teach those words
no, jbv...was going to offer the trick to the words
please share.....
I still struggle with "affect/effect" though
what trick? what words? is there a trick to this game?
Noun/verb/correct spelling
GM KJE
[t]here = place; [t]heir = person; they're = people doing
(so to speak on the last one)
cool, Pini, those little tricks do work
morning kje...
KJE!
hi pam, pini, jbv, scrab
hi kj
and lurkers everywhere
here's one on affect/effect: affect is normally used as a verb (except in psych terminology, as a noun) and effect as a noun, so in alphabetical order, A (verb) precedes E (object/noun) - does that help anyone except those who know how to use them?
and, yes, kje...there is a trick to this game...
...it's to figure out how to finish! lol
Wow, the birds are going nuts outside of my windows... cold air coming in, headache coming on. GRRRRRRRRRRR
would it be the same if explained affect is change and effect is emotion?
TY, JBV. My trouble is that I often use "affect" as a noun, as in "This teenager displayed a flat affect."
well, effect is not only emotion, as in effects of global warming, etc.
ok...maybe not emotion...
maybe effort?
that's what I meant, scrabs, that psych term kinds of messes up my theory
effect = results
affect = emotions or feelings
Is effect ever a verb?
yes
i use affect as a noun in the same manner as scrabbler
so even a teen displaying a flat effect is a result
The president effected several changes in policy ?
yah, but AFfect is only used in psych terms, right?
Hi Seain
no dor
hello
Argh, so confusing!
Hi Doren
yup
if affect only had one f it would be in the grid and we would all be in the PB
that "affect" as noun is also different because of the pronunciation, stress on first syllable
yup
LOL, dorens
(oh my...look what I've started - always wondered if others *thought* about word differences like I do)
they're there on the stair for their fair share. the heir paid the fare so they came through the air. they couldn't bear to be bare and have people stare so they decided to wear some hare's hair. they went on a tear and set the scale's tare. they said beware of the werewolf, and the lair of the mare, don't get caught in her snare or you'll get a scare. this isn't a dare, if you care you are rare. does anyone have a pair of pears for me to pare?
someone take the rhyming dictionary away from hurshy!
lol pini
flat affect has no effect on my perception ......
someone take the keyboard away from hurshy
yay hurshy! :D
Hurshy, as usual, you slay me!
hurshy should probably go to the pb... all those wo**s, at least one of them must be in the grid
phantom feces
if you want to affect the outcome, you should effect a change in your affect immediately. the effects should be clear.
i was trying to write a song for cher...
thanks, hurshy, we'll post that as an exemplar in all the classrooms of nation, we'll need another commission for that
hurshy can be the commissioner extraordinaire
**phone call*
down to my last 100 bbl
and then some!
at least we'll be hearing the correct pronunication of nuclear for the next 4 years
did you watch snl last night jbv
but nuclear weapons are so 20th century. we're on to bio- and chemical warfare now.
she must have!
only parts, kje - what are you thinking of?
mr bush's pronunciation of that word matches what i learned in school. i only say it the 'correct' way due to peer pressur in HS
the start of the news report
his pronunciation is standard southern/appalachi/ozark
where did you go to school?
really, dc? so is that regional?
no I didn't see that - I think I was asleep by then
I grew up in texas from age 4 on... and NEVER heard people say nucular, and def not my teachers...
Bush is from Texas
yes, jbv, it's regional, though many of us learn the 'correct' way through education
bush did NOT grow up in texas... he grew up in connecticut... he moved here as an adult
he supposedly was educated at Yale
The Bushes are not Texans
most of texas is Southern in it's speech patterns, ignoring the far west of the state.
didn't jimmy carter say nucular also?
and kje is correct.
i do think he's a bit of a simpleton, but his way of saying nuclear is typical of some regoin
yes and he was a nucular engineer
he was born in new haven but was raised in early childhood in texas, then came to mass. for HS and then of course yale
so his formative years were with the accent
this is one thing, mayhap the only one, that i defend bush on
was apparently that region includes alaska also... since palin did it also
it always bothered me. I mean... just look at the spelling!
lol kje
Alaska is special, based on my many dealings with hill staffers from that state
And Carter says nucular and he is a nucular engineer... regionalizations....
incidentally, he was head cheerleader his senior year at phillips andover
executive experience?
I heard that Palin's town has many migrants from Minnesota
very special...Alaska will be the first to see if/when Russian invades
lol pini
yes jbv, i read that too... so she should sound (and does) like a minnesotan, or dakotian, but how is that appalachian/southern?
many rural accents resemble southern more than standard
my faher's family in central OH drawl some
yes... interesting, i often thought she sounded minnesotan...didn't know that about the town
All I know is that when Palin speaks the first thing I think of is the movie: Fargo!
Where's the wood chipper when you need one?! lol
and the first thing i think is, is that sarah palin or tina fey?
LOL pini
exactly pini
it sounded like a roommate i had in college from st paul to me pini
it is hard to tell the difference at times, isn't it, hurshy
i look at the cheeks. palin has fuller cheeks.
of course the genius of Tina Fey is not just to mimic the pronunciation of words (dropping g endings from verbs, etc) but the intonation patterns as well
not to mention that they look like twins!
Tina is prettier?
i drop the g from gerunds when speaking in my usual manner
most people do seain, but it's a matter of where, when and how much that distinguishes dialects, but you know that, I know
my husband does not drop his g normally, but when talking to his HS students he always did.
and with whom (thanks hurshy)
true, jbv.
his whole way of speaking goes from college level to 6th grade when he talks to dumb teenagers. completely unconscious, but clearly driven by a desire to be liked.
there's a branch of linguistics that studies those variations in speech
mine varies mainly by mood, and/or what i happen to be reading.
and i have a received pronunciation that is a standard american english, fully pronounced - quite different from my day-to-day speech, thanks to many years of speech therapy when young
interesting, hurshy
i sound more southern when excited/frustrated
I've heard that writing does the same thing--neatness, size, word choice and punctuation change depending on audience.
indeed parsec.
we're talking about "register" - stylistic changes
when i'm reading sayers books, i start saying, "what-ho?" or if it's the five red herrings, "och, aye, imph'm"
yes we are, jbv :)
formal, informal and all the points in between
*jumps into interesting conversation unannounced* Also hi, everyone =)
when i'm reading austen my sentences become more complex and elegant
yay... just found that last pesky c
only 55 to go... sigh
if i'm reading oz books i talk like dorothy
i've been learning new registers of spanish thanks to my job, talking to trucking companies in Mexico.
i actually had a caller the other day who had trouble understanding my castillian accent.
The last c should be "cawdor." Useless literary references for the win!
interesting, seain - I bet you're learning a lot of new vocabulary too
indeed, jbv, as i have a background in nuclear physics in spanish, but not in transportation inustries
tee hee
and so many different words for the same thing, as education level changes vocab in spanish moreso than in english
believe me, I know - I work in an office where translation is a regular part of our day and we often have 30-minute discussions on how to translate one sentence - 4 different people, 4 opinions
as in Thane of C...
oh, yes, translation is a lot of work, and discussions like that, to get it right.
ok, when i went to get a pic of a school supply and i was looking at these pics of trapper keepers, and the desire for one came back to me as strongly as if i were back in second grade
Yeah, grant. I suck at seeing real words sometimes, but I always find the long ones that aren't in the dictionary.
well, enable is dubious, at best
i started thinking about whether i could come up with any excuse to need one, and then i realized, it's just a binder with velcro :( really de4ed my balloon.
trapper keepers are still really cool, i agree
English majors' secret handshake
i mean de5ed
Hehe. Also, thanks, hursh. Hadn't seen that one yet =)
did not know that de6/24 was a word
you know what I used to love - those blue fabric covered 3-ring binders - do you know what I'm referring to?
I still have mine from elementary school...denim covered!
yes, jbv, the denimy ones?
yes jbv... my older sibling had them and stuck stikcers on them
the cool thing for us were the plastic ones with cool patterns
I guess, I never thought of them as denim, but light blue cotton, soft to the touch
The most important consideration for me and binder-picking was "can I draw on it?"
i always kept my binder exteriors as pristine as possible
i can see that dc... you seem that way even now : 0
Pfft, I suppose you actually used them to organize papers too, huh. ;)
revealing deep personality characteristics here
That's why I still have mine from elem school...I drew on it...m first display of "talent" (albeit hobby talent)
guilty as charged, parsec
Well, I suppose that's forgivable. People like me needed people like you to copy forgotten homework off of. =)
LOL, indeed so, parsec
LOL parsec
though i'm not a note-taker, so i'm useless on that count
one of my favorite things was covering my textbooks with paper bags at the beginning of the year
as long as you didn't steal their lunch money while you were at it parsec
i hated doing that, hiding all the colourful covers
Well, mostly, I just needed people to tell me which handout to look for so I could do the stupid assignment myself before the next class, heh. I never stole or copied from an unwilling source.
We used to use orienteering maps to cover our school books...thanks to military dad...
how, cool, pini!
i love maps :D
i enjoyed the process, kinda origami-esque
i remember safeway and a&p printing their bages with dotted lines to make the folding easier
textbook covers, too, fell under "Now I can draw on it, Yay!"
textbook covers, too, fell under "Now I can draw on it, Yay! "
it was pretty fun, dc...especially when we were able to beat his cadets on a course! ;)
and wasn't it cool, hurshy, when you folded it just right and the book fit in perfectly
yes :)
yes, textbook covers were for doodling
what fun, pini!
i always wished i were a good artist so my covers didn't end up looking so stupid.
my sister had the the art talent, and hers always were beautiful
i always MEANT to keep them pristine, since i knew i couldn't draw well, but somehow, when the boredom set in...
so many phantoms this grid!
50
50 phantoms, eh?
does anyone have a clue for the re7/48 plz?
at least hursh
you know what i realized the other day? monk is like a modern poirot and sean (psych) is kind of like a modern peter wimsey
my dishes are not blue, no, i have the re7/48 collection
i do not, sandie
no sandie... apparently i need another re7 : ?
hmmm don't get that clue hurshy!

my DISHES are NOT BLUE
me either
does that help?
no... saying it louder does not help _ LOLOL
not getting in hursh
I got it the firt time hurshy. Thanks.
Got it. Tx Hursh
Errrrrm no - haven't a clue what you mean.
first, i mean
kind of wht i tell my students when they start to talk louder to our nonenglish speaking patients... doesn't help!
you know, dishes can be, like, corning****
uh oh...we have smart people in the room!
Is it a US thing I wonder.
i get it not this far, either, sandie
well the dishes are not blue, nor are they yellow, or green or purple or white, they are re*.
there's silver**** for the utensils and table**** for the dishes
You guys are thinking too hard.
ok, the corning clue did it, thanks
Be**** the dog
it's not a US thing, on account of, it's totally made up.
TY husrh!!!!
Can you give me the 3rd letter and I might be able to go from there.
it *is* totally made up.
what a silly word! ty, hurshy
not blue, sandie
* stumped * what does (corning)**** have to do with an RE word?
*** at night, sailor's delight
that re7 is used to describe earthenware made from a certain type of clay, at least in central ohio
it differentiates it from standard brownsh earthenware
OMG - I have got it! Thanks a lot.
it's not a "RE" word per se pink, and he dishes aren't pink either, but a darker color
hey funny, so it really does mean what it sounds like. however it apparently can also be a common brown seaweed found off northern atlantic coasts.
DUH!!! I GOT IT, I GOT IT!!!
lol! yeah pink!
thank you for the spoon feeding...I'll work on trying to use a fork
does anyone have any o's on the left? I have none

the 9 ends cryptically and the 8 is 9-1
have one os 5 now, thanks
Thanks, hursh. =)
(the 9 starts like a word meaning shun)
there are 2 os 5 wods?
8 ends in a fi4; 9 ends in Morse dots and dashes
yes, bichon
I have the os 5 with a double consonant, need the other one, please
how odd the os8-9, ty, hursh
Phone calls are done for now. 171 to go. How is everybody doing?

Yep, very pretty. The trees are covered.

yes -- made it a long time ago when computer was the theme --- figured every student needs one now.
i like the fish clue! funny
I am not sure of the total but it is to continue through tomorrow evening. Maybe it will make the office less busy tomorrow, if I am lucky, because I work til 8.
if you like snow that's great, scrabs -- personally, nothing I have to shovel is pretty!

hello again everyone
i'm getting excited. somebody kindly suggested that i copy the list (fm's for example) and put it into a spreadsheet, which I had never done. i have done so today and it really works splendidly. got to less than 100 before doing it, and now it is working like a charm
dorens, what is the advantage of a spreadsheet (really, I'm clueless about that - I just use Word)
ty -- enable's weird spelling again
oh, i am able to enter the words I have found into the next column, so I can line them up and see what I'm missing. was spending forever trying to count up and down and hunt previously
oh, yeah, spreadsheet is your friend :)
i just but an x next to what i find, it's easier
I've been doing it by highlighting in a color
makes sense
I guess I will need to get a list.
oh it really really helps today scrabs!
and done here. just in time
congrats, dorens - just in time for what?
hi, all. struggling with my internet connection today.
hi angel
congrats, dorens!!!
just in time to get out and do some errands. bye all and happy babbling
bye dorens, see you tomorrow
I've got 8 bags of groceries that I just brought in from the car, I guess I'll have to stop soon and put them away (one of my least favorite chores)
OK, this is so ridiculous... i mus share...

yes, kje?
go ahead, kje
please do kj, need a distraction
I am looking through some on line profiles and this is someone i was "matched with" based on a "personality" test.... WTF was he thinking? this i sthe only pic posted - LOLOL eeeeewwwww
JBV I could loan you my granddaughter who lives to put groceries away but I think it would take to long to get there...lol
OK, i know i just vioalted all kinds of site rules... but ...eeeewwwww
lol kj, how endearing
that's so cute, mcurl - I don't know when I will ever have one of my own!
endearing??? man i hope that was sarcastic flos
they are loads of fun but the there are also the times you are relieved they went home!
kje, RUN, dont walk away from this person...ugggggghhh
I emailed back to hubby when he had a picture of the cat on his profile (as well as normal ones of himself) but seriously this can not help the man get any and I mean ANY dates
i need to write a book about some of the profiles I've read... no one would believe it
Hello new entrants
i'm speechless, kje
right now our son is home on leave and he finally got his son; it's the 3rd time he's seen him in 2 years; mom is being a poo about visitation
oh please kj, yes indeed a touch of sarcasm
I hate those creatures
a cat is different than a rat... no?
is that a possum or a rat?
LOL flos - i knew that : )
that must be tough, mcurl
just here for a bit and hi everyone!
does it matter dc??? really???
hi annie
he's handsome, he likes nature and is one with wildlife
LOLOL jac
A rat, but I'm with kje on the relevance of the question
lol
ummm - NOOOOO
well, possum are edible, rats not so much so
jacq you should have a career as a resume polisher
YUK to either dc
jacq you should really be in sales
honestly, i read 95% of these profiles and think, what WERE they thinking
LOLOL JBV - that is FUNNY
in some eastern countries the price of "normal\" meat products is so high it's hepled double the priuce of rat meat, which mens the really poor families have to go without
random fact
wow, i need typing lessons
I had someone email me when I was on the site (I was only there a couple of weeks before I met hubby) and it was so funny I kept it for ages. I thought it was an internet scam but I think he was just a creep
plenty of creeps out there, ladies - be careful
re6.27, pls?
creeps and cretins
there are some normal good ones as well, honestly!!
Afternoon, all. Kje - maybe that guy is an exterminator and he's trying to appear chivalrous. Otherwise, he's just creepy. Probably a joke playe on him by his friends.
That pic is hilarious, kje!
aha, I could believe that Judi - joker friends
i had such a hilarious one that i cut and pasted it to all my email friends (another violation) but ... seriously, what do they think will happen if they are soooooo far out there
Judi I love your optimism but fe** that he thought it was a good idea
Gives new meaning to the phrase "date bait".
LOL judi
I went through a similar process many years ago, but it was before the internet - we had classified ads then, had to wait for letters to go back and forth
see, i knew yoou guys would find it as funny as me!
Mine wanted me to be his 'pupil' but our major obsticle would be my not understanding his music........

Bye, kje. Good luck with the online dating. May it be vermin free from now on.

bfn, bbl
or think bathroom cleaner
can I have help with the dr6 and dr8 thanks
ty
** thinking napalm**
back.. kje, I can't believe that pic.. I mean, what kind of guy would post that?
cyber - color re* + what you say when you hit your thumb with the hammer + vowel
I did meet hubby on a dating website so it does work sometimes but I think you have to be very very lucky
scrabbler -- the other half of corning
I have met a couple very nice people... but i will say, the ratia is about 50:1... but that is probably true in real life also...
company which makes napalm
ratio
Still lost here and I forget what word I am searching for too...LOL
and thems' fireworks!
re + chem company
the chemical co has a diamond logo
congrats, pav3!!!
yay for Pav!!!!
can I help? BIG thanks for Jac for posting to Babs
help please with the dr6 and dr8 thanks
Dr8: closest to nodding off.
I just cannot think of a chem company
sounds like "now"
How, *** brown c**
Another dr8: feeling the blahs
dr5 dr8 dr6 related in sequence and then there's dr8...meaning sleepier
I am on the web site for Napalm--and I read Wikipedia. I am now a Napalm expert!! LOL
lol, Scrabbs... what paths Babble doth lead you down
thank you all that at least finished the d's for me!!
TY for that other dr8.
And I did finally figure out re6.
Clues for the other 2 qu's? I have the two that pertain to giving up.
judi, it's a throwing game
something you throw
Q + 3 vowels
ends with the city of Detr*** in Michigan
JUdi..Babblets fer sher....add a vOwel to your Others and yuO'll have them
was that too obvious, lol
where was joe the plumber from?
Ohio
midwest, but not Detr**
he was from holland, oh
I cannot believe there are 20 a's from the center a - I only have 10, totally stuck
ok
11
as opposed to Hollland, MI
how many ae's are there, please?
Ty for the stupid qu's.
do7 help please
1 x ae
thanks,pav
brides bribes
Ar6/7: prelude to "crats"
for the do7
do 7 - what brides fathers give to the groom
good clue Aloy
stole it from hurshy, JBV, lol
big in the middleeastern countries, husband present d07 to their wive's families
ty for that
I thought the groom paid for his wife, to the family for losing a worker in the fields?
there's a co7 that is similar
you're right , pav- I was living in an alternate universe there for a while
or is it bribe from the family for someone to take their daughters?
JBV, who is the person in your profile?
wait now I'm confused -
Is that where the bride's father pays in bovines?
do7 are paid by the bride's family. Brideprice is paid by the groom.
hi, annie - that's me many many moons ago - it started when Une posted a picture of her with a big flip hairdo
thanks, VI
TY, dale
Thanks. I already had the co7
si 7, please?
Now I'm all confused. ;)
didn't see the co till the do was clued
JBV, very pretty...I had the same hairdo once
si7 - pl si6 - those who put something through a seive
nan, use them to get clumps out of flour
sieve. whatever.
definitely a sign of the times, right, Annie - I can usually date a photo within a few years just by the hairdo
second ar5/10?
and thanks for the compliment, but as I said yesterday, who doesn't look good at 16?
I was mistaken...(did I say that?), do7 are given to the husband by the wife (and her family)
I did NOT look good at 16~
ar + not bro, Scrabbs
mmm -- had that -- couldn't count!
TY, Aloy
ok, pav we are finally getting that straightened out
I still need 2 ar4s
(-: yw
scrabs, I'm sure you were a lovely teenager
17 t's and w's to go -- after lunch
Yuck, JBV! I had a miserable adolescence! Good riddance to those years!
Good afternoon/evening all.
got disney's cats scrabbs?
Hi Hazel!
I so do agree Scrabs. I feel so good now, with grandchildren and somewhat buff and retired.
oh, very sorry to hear that, scrabbler, better to look ahead then
hi there, Haz
hello all, just back from a bridal shower and 120 w***s to find
help with tr8 please
Hi Haz! How was the luncheon? I bet it was fabulous.
Hello, Haz.
My 40s have been the best yet!!
tr 8: bet at the track,
Hello there! Lunch went well, thank you, no poisonings reported yet.
Yep, I have ar6 and 7 but need 2 ar4s
hi, peri
I'm home all day cuz dale took the car to work, and I still have a 100 to go
ar 4 - geographic region; ar4 God of War; ar4 - music, paintings, pictures, etc genre
ar babblet -- to be plural
hi peri
ar4/4 is a play ar**
thanks,cyber, I would never have thought to enter that tr 8
I now need one of the last ar4s
hi peri
ar 4 that goes with crafts
I think I know the tr8 but must be spelling it wrong
ar 4: specific space
figured out the tr8 thanks
help with aw8 please
tr8 horse racing bid...
no aw8...or aw's
meant help with wa8 please
Argh, my old eyes saw an at4 as an ar4
wa 8: runny -- like some veggies or eggs
A's are done
horse racing bid
kind of like H2O, peri
stomach thinks my throat's been cut -- back after lunch
miles ...did you get it?
not getting the wa8 clues
I can't figure out the wa8 either
no, and I didn't get the wa8 either
when you get it you will ask to be hit with a big f***
are you squeam*** when you see a mouse?
peri -- descriptive word for something liquid
wa8 - to the liquid add an ending that makes something not quite defined.
figured out the wa8, look at Aloys clue
more help, pav
like you have dinner around 6***, not exactly but close enough...
Stupid wo4!
stoopid w*** that wa8!
My mother is on the phone--telling me about who died this week.
agreed, peri
horse racing has designated three races, if you select the winners of all three in advance it's a tr8
help with both re8 please
that was the dumbest word!!!!!!
got that tr
ty for the wa 8, but that was sooooo dumb
re 8 - builds on the 6 - tape re******
found both dr8 by myself
machine that re6s voices, sounds...
One re8 ( re8/40) is a type of musical instrument, the other is a plural for re7/48.
and the other 8 builds on the 7 - a type of pottery - do you have that?
no
2nd re8 is pl of re7...combo wo4, meaning housewa*** of the color rojo
got the instrument, thanks Haz
PAV---that is a Pick 3---you mean the first, second and third horses that come in in the same race, that is a tr8-----sorry to correct but I worked at races
help! i'm missing 2 Fs, but i don't know which ones, even with teh list
dc, do you have the babblet fi 4/7 and plural
got the other re8 too thanks
babblet, hmm....
same ending as a person who tells lies
ty, got the other re7/8
ty, jbv!
yw
an error twicde in the same day! me4de...must go console myself...I'm thinking Haagen Dazs, st5berry
that fi one is in every grid, seems like
that was merde! not me4de (??)
*patting PAV* there, there....here is some strawberry ice cream with chocolate syrup and a brownie
I want hard liquor and a brownie
does anyone have all the a's from the lower right corner? I need one more - have: af x 2 and at 4
Thanks, but choc is not my thing...just the st5berry
af7 at end of book
There are four af .
Plural one of your af's, JBV. If not , the other one means burning.
thanks, dc, a is grey!
af5 af5 af6 af9
thanks judi.
oops, was af9, but ur welcome :)
Ty for clues below. 61 to go
110 here
well now that Joey is resting more comfortably, following a good ear cleansing, I can venture out for my consoling ice ream...
ice cream....where's my head?
PAV, with sprinkles?
with carmel and whipped cream?
MMMMMMM! Yummy!
is there any left for me?
care
mint chip please
nope, no sprinkles, nuts, whipped cream, sauces, just plain st5berry ice cream...and it must be haagen dazs....
sorry, need to pay attention
They do make the BEST of that flavor, PAV. I must agree.
anyone get the st 7/8 combo
and it's caramel, if you must...Carmel's in CA....bbl
I got it in case anyone needs clue
ice cream is wonderful because there is some flavor, some "type" for everyone
I know some people who hate ice cream
St7/8: furrowed, striped, layered
not many, it's kind of like hating pizza
I saw that st one because I have a medical backgroumnd
Must be like vampires hating garlic. Be afraid of people who don't like ice cream. They're obviously some kind of alien beings.
anyone got the fe 5/6 combo (not sure if its the first or second)
this is true...wonder if Michael Jackson likes ice cream...
*lactose intollerant excluded, of course*
I am lactose intolerant but that doesn't stop me from eating ice cream.
fe+spanish river and latin plural
got that one
good afternoon, all
well, that was fun, time to get the clothes off the line.. see you all next grid, Babblers. byee for now
hi ya
Congrats Aloy
Hi fuqua
bye aloy
fe5/16 & 6/27: small mongrel dog.
I must go prep dinner. Later all!
yay for Aloy!!!
And with 58 I must get some chores done. BBL
later, Scrabbs!
ty judi - still havent got it though
ty judi googled it
how about the de9?
de 9 paint walls
good clue pink, thanks
I don't get it
yw ypsi
thks - you all are giving great clues today. wish I could think that fast!!
you can also de 8 a cake... and plural
what do the other 2 9's start with?
ty, yps, finally got it
af 9
ot and af
just got the af, thanks
af9 is a compound
what's the ot?
ot clue please
ot?
ot 9 danes
sorry dale lol
is danes the clue
when you shun someone you *****cize them + morse ***e
there is no ot
te 5-6 combo?
plodding along, 89 left
i called you danes by mistake
It's an os 9, not an ot 9.
sorry, screwed up again......it is os9
wow, thanks, never would have got it, annie
thanks, dale.... I am redeemed
oh that makes a lot more sense! LOL
found them
but that os was an 8--what's the 9
150 done..... 149 to go.... time to go make dinner
never mind
dale, add a vowel at the end of os8
ty annie, got it
going to start dinner, be back later
bye annie
thanks for clues
I'm gonna sign off for a while, got 86 to go
tr 6-7 combo, please?
I could also use the tr7 just before it.
hey, peeps
tr 7: cut in three
Ah, ty =)
do any of the AI words NOT start with the word for atmosphere?
The combo sounds a bit like a meter word in poetry
no -- they all do tyger
thx, nan
mm -- was never very fond of poetry or the study of it
now, follow up: all the clue lists I've looked at show only one ai4 before the 1st ai5 - but I can't find a 5 that starts with the word that - in the old-fashioned sense - was used to describe a melody, only for the one that's a Scotch word (the 2nd)
tr7 is a geometry word for something you can't do with a straightedge :P
there's another 4-5 combo before the melodies.
oh heavens -- geometry is even worse!
thx, vicuna. could I have a clue? there's *nothing* in any of the word lists :(
Heh, sorry. How about t + large mythical bird + pirate sound?
still looking for that tr 6-7 combo -- another clue, please?
yes there is. You're just confusing which 5/10 is the first. But it starts with what you breathe and ends with a diff consonant.
it takes a protractor in order to be able to tr7 something :D
thanks parsec
first wr5 help?
plural dry humor, mixi.
Thanks!
that rings a bell, tyger -- but I haven't studied or used geometry for 47 years!
oh, not with a vowel?
nope.
t's done
But you'll be using a different r to get there!
vicuna, is your daughter a bit of a mischief-maker? I just looked at your profile - what a cute grin!!
lol, tyger. The icon's leftover from crazy hair day. She's 6 now and actually very docile and easy-going, but she does have a most infectious giggle.
OH! I see it now. thanks *so* much for the hint!!!
you should put up a more recent photo. let us see the changes :)
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
you're welcome.
Yay for cybernan!
may I ask about your nic? do you have a special interest in S. America, or some other reason for the choice?
Can I assume the two ao's are a combo having to do with arteries?
nan, it's been even longer since I studied geometry - more than 50 years
No special reason, really. I just like all the camelids.
hi, all
hey, pam
wb, pam
Hello, pam.
hi. tyger, vi, parsec, et al
oh, that's a more than sufficient reason, vicuna :)
hey, dc
vic, dcs, tyger!!!!
Hi, dcseain.
and vicunas have such *lovely* wool ;)
hi again, seain
Yep. And so beautiful and graceful altogether.
hiya dc
not that I"ve ever been able to afford anything made of it
I have an alpaca sweater I'm very fond of.
well, I need to get back to work. I've only got 180 so far
I have an alpaca/wool blend sweater that's too heavy and warm to wear here in MS. I used to wear it in Michigan
Go, tygerbryght, go!
hi, again, back in time to see your chat - I'm wearing an alpaca sweater right now - a lovely gift from somone who brought it to me from Peru
we haven't turned on the heat in the house yet, so this is my personal heating element
You fit right in, JBV!
on my way -- back at the flip :)
thx, vic.
all the camelids seem to have really nice "wool"
really gotta get back at it. back later
Bye!
firewords :D
congrats, seain!
Yay for dcseain!
yay, dcs!
now, i'm off to buy cat food and light bulb. later, peeps!
ty! {pof}
Bye, dc!
Be sure not to feed the lightbulb to the cat or screw int he catfood!
hey, smartymouse, you there?
howdy babblers
didn't expect to be back so soon :( I'm working on the last 2 AR4. logically, I can't see anything after the ar4 (plural, not science; as in college of ar4 & science), but I can't find anything between ar5 (not bro) and it
hey, shoo
hey tyger
tyger, I have all the a's - the last two are ar 5 (not bro) and the ar 4, B.A., etc. so if you're missing a 4 it's before those
my "method" - if you can call it that, is to get all the words I can just find, then go back and go thru with the clue list, in case this sounds weird
the clue list I'm working from is une's and she shows 4,4, 5, 6, 7, 5, 4, 4
are there 4 4s?
no, after the 5 there is only one ar 4
I've got 3 4s
only 3 ar 4's
okay, thanks ever so much. back to work now :)
any clues for tr 7/32 after the tr 8 please
tr 7 - math term - cut at angle in 3
ty jbv
that was cut *an* angle
ty one and all fireworks for me - off to make hubbies sarnies for work and rescue the washing from the mad machine in the garage
bye Kazz
and congrats on fireworks!

I don't have any re7 or 8, merk, sorry
I checked my REs, and only have a few, all short

flute like wood instrument?
thx, cj! you just gave me a re8

the wooden flute-like instrument :D
The re 7 comes after the Bohemian folk dance that I had never heard of either.
I like early music
add 2 letter ending on to re 6/24...music discs now replaced by CD's
there's an re6/7 combo that's computer programming related, I believe
hi, everyone. could I get a clue for the fe6/27, please? i have the feast one.
tr8 - I think it has something to do with horse racing
ty....duh on my part
vinyl re6s :)
I found the re 7. It is a color followed by utensils used to eat, then plural it for 8.
re7 - British soldiers in the Revolutionary War?
whoa...not following these clues...
"the re6s are coming" (Paul Revere)

oops, mine does NOT work :( sorry, sorry!
well it least my sanity not in question...at the moment..thanks tyger..now still stuck on that one
me also
thanks, merk...just got it from your clue
and I still haven't figured out merk's clue :(

Hello all! How's the grid?

Tim is achy and grumpy at me for giving him his shots...sigh!!
tell him, he is lucky to have you, Jellen
lol, I try!
Ooh, did I kill the chat?
people probably have their noses in the grid :D

Just checking! BTW, random clues will be welcomed!

im really well thanks ladies, just looking forward to the new year...how have you been peri?
I am fine pink
I have fi4/7, 5/16, 4/7, 4/7, 5/16 (can't get the 4/7, 5/16 that fits in here) any help please?
I'm having trouble with the DOs - clues lists show 3 do4 before the do6, and I can only find 2 - the one who performs actions and the act of worship (more or less), which leads to the do6
or do I have them out of order?
hey, flosey
hi tyger
do + it ** your own speed
the smelly cheese flosey
what's even worse is that I've got a do5 that should come before the do6 - that's not in the clue lists
thx, flosey
fe** 4 7
that still leaves me with a do5. is it another one that Enable stupidly doesn't include??
have that cheese cj, it's the greek one?
it rarely misses a chance to tack an s onto anything, whether or not it's appropriate
yes
I don't think there's a do5, have do6 and 7
de4 to win or de4 them
thx, flosey. how Enable-appropriate, to omit a legit plural or 2nd person verb tense, and have so many wrong ones
and there's the notorious case of no plural of Hawaiian geese :P which is in all dictionaries
well, back to work
see you in a bit tyger
flosey...add a vowel to the fe5 16
sorry, I'm so cross-eyed by now, it's fi I'm looking for, have fi4/7, 5/16, 4/7, 4/7, 5/16, (missing 4/7, 5/16) have 4/7, 5/16, 6/27, 4/8, 4/7, 5/16,
sorry cj
fi4 - sounds like a frondy plant
and plural
is ok, still learning how to clue myself...
oh gosh, how could I miss that!!
back again
hi pam
thanks kj, I really am cross-eyed by now
i missed a lot of n containing words... it is hiding in the ) tikle zone
hi, cj
yes, I forgot there was an n in this puzzle
Hello, pam and kje! And flosey, too!
0 tile zone - sheesh
I've still got 160 to go
hi jellen... how are thhose shots coming? lots of crying and throwing things?
Jellen!
LOL, kje. Knew what you meant, though
Just pouting and allegations of enjoying it!
ac5 help please
lol
shots?
LOL - ahhh - alittle masochistic, is he?
Hello again. 58 to go.
or do you mean sadism on your part?
scrabs!
hello 42 to go here!
add 100 to that and I'm with you scrabs
He means sadism on my part.
What did you do today, Pam?
hi, harp
ac - start of finger nail polish remover chemical
jellen, how is Tim doing?
Hi, Scrabbler and harp
LOL jellen
hi harp
34 left, taking a break, bbs
He's achy and fussy.
nothing, scrabs, worth noting... laundry, CVS because I like their paper towels and needed Tavist for the dog, then the market
aorist
My life is boring lately, LOL. And you, scrabs?
oops
You got it, mixi!!
Oh, and I read more of my Lincoln book--Tried by War
Boring is good.
In my head, I have started the Heartworm piece....
I don't know that it's good, but it isn't bad, either, LOLOL
"achy and fussy" sounds like a toddler
Yup. Good analogy!
back. only 2 ER?
yes er 2
hey, scrabs. do you have an update for me on anybody? I need to get my list in order for Tuesday morning
or s er
thx, kje
or even better 2 er
i should just stop
stop, kje? why? LOL
b/c my typing has hit an all time low
heartworm, pam????
gotta take a break...crosseyed here
low even for me!
hi again - back to find my last 35 - I need 2 ri's - the 4 and 5 after the 5/10 - clues, please?
I'm sure we all understand, cj. I just got back from one
LOLOL, kje
Yes, tyger, for laypeople, for a newsletter....
there are some weeks when I devoutly wish that Sound & Spirit was available to rehear
ri4/7 - overflowing with..., and more so
oh. explaining why they need to get their dogs tested, and give them the pills (or whatever)
what is sound & spirit, tyger?
oh, just found the 5, thanks kje - have them all now
yes, tyger, and what it is and how horrid, and how preventive is so much better than treatment....
Phone call done--Mary's son has been ill since Friday night with vomiting..whole family is ill and Dad is trying to manage.
it's an eclectic music program on NPR, that always has some religious, spiritual, etc., connection
bbiab
oh, my, scrabs. I will be sure to put that on the list!!
ahhh, tyger, thanks...
how old, scrabs? I can't remember
Oh, scrabs, that is just cruel. I so want that family to be in a bubble for a bit....
How is Ben?
this week it's mostly Xian, and has some wonderful classical stuff
I am hoping that little John (4) can avoid a trip to the ER for IV fluids. It would be traumatic for everyone.
it's focused on the Psalms, and I love the Psalms
Ben is doing well--came in for his Flu shot. Prognosis is uncertain as he has a rare cancer.
yes, indeed, scrabs. he's young enough for fluids to be an issue
still praying for him - as you know, scrabs :)
Never heard of it, thanks, Tyger!
I've enjoyed that program when I've caught it on the radio, tyger.
and his family, of course
I am glad he is well now, scrabs.... I think of him, too.
jellen, some of the programs are (for my taste) so outre that I can't stand them, but some are just ... delightful
not well, pam, alas. just slogging thru treatment
I meant well for now, not well in general....
is he still in denial, scrabs? which, as you said, is probably a fairly healthy way for a teen to cope
oh, sorry
Yes, because he does not feel ill.
no sorry necessary--I wasn't very clear....
that's a blessing, in the circumstances
I assume that - all things going well - it's likely to be a while before there's news about Sabrina, one way or the other
My friend who lived for 6.5 years with a late-staged breast cancer had a healthy case of denial, or so it seemed, even though some of us thought she might be a bit too buried in teh sand, LOL
who is sabrina?
Sabrina is early in her course of chemo.
Sabrina is an 11 yr old in our practice, recently diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, Stage IVB.
hey all
scrabs tells me about her scary cases, so my group & I can pray for them
hey, krista
Hi, Krista
first time ive been here in months and i "walk in" on a Hodgkins comment, weird
Hi Krista! I haven't seen you in a while! How are you?
Oh... how traumatic. I will add her to my thoughts.... is that the lymphoma Jackie O had or was that non-Hodgkins... I get them confused
i had stage 3
Hi, Krista!
You had Hodgkin's when you were youngre, right, krista?
well, krista, you know that babblers talk about anything and everything :)
yes, 21 years ago
I don't recall which on Jackie had.
thanks for all the hellos! ive missed everyone
just looked. wow, krista, you're really an "old-timer" :)
we missed you, too!
I think it was non-Hodgkins, but no guarantees
:) :) thanks
I feel like one (August 2005), but there aren't too many from 2004
She had non-Hodgkins--you are right, tyger. I searched it 8-)
te5 and 6 combo?
the old memory came thru again. how about that!? :)
yeah, i joined a long time ago...cant even remember how i found this
si6, the last si word please?

Apparently they did, tyger.

flosey, do you have the te5 and 6 combo?
yes, te and I'll be happy if it doesn't ***n

I haven't checked babanon, but there is probably at least one
yes...list at babanon...jacula's i believe
cj - go to the rankings page, and run down the first column - jac is very near the top

I've been babbleing now for almost 3 weeks, how long does the newbie thing last?
cj, it usually lasts for months. grids are tricky
please tell me a few months....ty =)
dc says it was months before he finished his first grid
you're already doing better than that :)
I got lucky with you helping and a small gird
and ty
why I came in this time was to ask if re6 (clothing to keep you warm) was the first re6
or, another layer of paint, in a different context
yw, cj :D
first re 6 is to encrypt again
now, is that the first re6, pls?
as in a programmer writing lines of ****?

second is what singers do to they're songs
corrrecto!

not yet, phan, boredom may succeed.Did you realise that Shostakovitch's Seventh Quartet was copmp[leted in March 1960? Or that the three movements are played attacca?
scrabs are you getting snow?\
I had no idea Jilli. That is a very interesting fact.
Yep, AK--the snowplow went by about 15 min ago.
I e-mailed YKW
OMG I am soooo sory my lil sister just got on under my name so whatever she said i am very sory
oh gag you can keep it
WOW is all I can say
little sister has been here before
i see spelling runs in that family
I did phan

I am working on the se's too, tyger and am not liking them!!
I am missing all of the longer se's
sadly i have no se words yet
I'm back finally...:)
not much fun, are they?
ok that wasnt me that time noah keeps taking the keyboard
the se6/18 is plural of the preceding. think of a caravan stop, scrabs
Actually, the Lento movement was really haunting, with an accompanimental figure spread across the four strings. over which first violin sings a long-breathes theme clearly deived in part from the opening idea of the quartet.
sorry, long-breathed
Hi, again!
going to say this once, then will not respond anymore. MILEY: just look at it this way, you're in a room full of mothers and grandmothers. if you were in a room with us in real life, i'm sure you'd be much more polite. or i would hope so. either way, several people have notified the creator of this site of your/your sister's behavior, and you can lose your privileges here because of it. think twice next time before acting up.
??caravan stops ??
um, jilli, which piece are you talking about. your earlier stuff has scrolled off
I am stumped with co 4/6, right next to the string, what is the third letter?
do7?
scrabs, think of caravanse***
the Shostakovitch Seventh Quartet, tyger ;)
thx. :)
female college student, Inge
hiya, pam
clapping for feather well put
Oh, that is so long ago. I forgot the word
Yahooo Feather!
well done, feather
scrabs, do you need another clue?
do7 = bribes for brides
yay feather :)
i couldn't stand it. anyway, like i said, not going to respond anymore! i'll bbl, when it's settled.
jlli--I like the word attaca--looked it up.... thanks for your description of the Shostakovich
well said feather
Yes, tyger, I am stuck...? caravan ?
Nicely done, feahter....

Hi RTH
aren't we all so original in our choice of words :)
hi, red
cj, we DO get trolls every now and again. we're experienced at dealing with them
thanks everyone. happy babbling, see you all tomorrow
hey, turtle
Hi, red
we do have a few kids who are members - well-behaved ones (at least in here). they're fun
Feather used her teacher technique, but some Babblers get mean and ugly with trolls.
hi red
see you tmr
they chat with grownups like grownups - which is all we ask
Bye Peri
some trolls get mean and ugly with babblers
last two words which are related methinks. I need re 6/18 and re 7/28. Is the second one the plural? Please advise
I was about to but figured one of you would say it nicer than I would
i can't be as nice as feather, I would lean towards mean and ugly, so I try not to interact with them...
**reminding myself that I am a grown-up**
hi, red - how are you? looking for the icon theme in Sprite's profile and she said something about you not being able to run ?
true enough, jilli, they do...
LOL, scrabs
all growed up...we are.
ok, i'm back. either my comments worked, or dr. god shut them down.
sorry, inge, don't have
I rather liked my boredom technique *smug smirk*
to fight against an arrest by police = to re**** = re6
how many words today please
i'm wondering what Papa Billy Ray would think
tsk tsk
still waiting and hoping ....

You were great, Jill.

krista, I very much doubt if that was the real miley

not yet
going to dig in...
nope
no no, i really got hurt during a critical training peroid, so no not new. right now i am breaking in new shoes...and building base again...thanks for asking...
how are you and hubby JBV?
se 5/16 - typographical term - part of a letter -
I guess I"ll hafta skip it and go on - after dinner. just noticed the time. BBL
not a big fan of miley, but she can probably spell a bit better :) (just a bit)
later, tyger
LOLOL, krista
we're OK, red, but he is going in for surgery on Thursday, - we're bracing for that, don't know what else to say
TY, JBV!!
I need the last two re words: re 6/18 and re7/28. Please help
(pam always gets me)
May I ask what type of surgery, JBV? You don't have to answer.
Inge, I clued below.
sorry jbv
(krista)
well it's going to be complicated, scrabs, and the unfortunate thing is we don't really know what they have to do until they get in there but I can tell you it involves a colorectal surgeon, urologist and possibly an orthopedic specialist (because of the osteomyelitis)
fe 5 + 6 pair ? I have the one that rhymes with the opera song, clues for the other pls?
oy yoy, jbv!
((((((JBV and HUSBAND))))))))
was just about to get up, and reopened this. would you like him on my prayer group's list, jbv?
Oh, my, JBV! Multiple surgeons! I will pray for him, you and the surgeons, JBV!
(((JBV)))
thank you everybody, i feel blessed to have your good wishes -
fe5 rhymes with bank robbery word he***
i just got it thx, scrabbler
thank you tyger, we do appreciate whatever powers can be brought to bear
if you want him in our prayers, I need a bit of info (first name, at least). if you will send me that and a brief description in an email (see my profile), I will give it to the prayer group Tuesday morning
se5/12 please?
that fe5 is an archaic word for a kind of dog
ok, tyger

hey, Une! I was wondering if I'd see you tonight - was going to change my icon, but waited...
These se words are really slowing me down.

I see that the clued words are mostly strange to me
Hi, Une

Congrats, inge!
149 for me...

jellen long time no see how are you
gazillion for me!
cataract surgeries are just about always a success and a piece of cake nowadays
I'm good, ak!
se5/18 and the se6/30 right after that
I'm gald you're good, jellen -- we had a bad girl here a little while ago
glad to here that
se + ten little Indians all in a ***, and plural
se + *** *** *** your boat gently down the stream
glad -- and ak, I think you're glad to hear...
and plural

wtg, scrabs!
I need 3 sh's now...looking at the list
i find typing rather difficult with my cat plopped on top of my lap top
wtg scrabs
I find typing easy to muck up, lol
aww to ak's cat
first sh6 please?
oh yes kitty is a BIG help
CO 6/33 pls
rhymes with the do6
se5/16 please
first sh6 is a plural, scrabs, do you have the 5?
os8?
co is plural ofshell money
they are shells, phan, rhymes with what used to be paid for a woman's hand in marriage...
Oh, it was that simple, JBV? I thought it was a comparative.
i'm finding out that in babble, you can put an s on anything!
co6 starts with a moo animal
sh5 and 6 combo near the end?
I thought it might, but I can't figure out the last part
well, not quite
os 8 marry a latbe non flying land bird with a fish from cape *** and you would have this
large
sh 5 and 6 at end are an alternate spelling of a type of rock I think, usually spelled with a sch
if you give someone a short sh6
Nope, sh6 then followed by a 5, after T-sh6
thx aknitter
the last sh 5 is a plural
shirl add an e for the 9
So, I still need help with the CO 6/7 pair pls
Hm, type of rock?
do you have the do 7/48, phan? Rhymes with that...
what a papa bull sends off with his son in law for marriage with his daughter
shale?
is the co 6..
wow an interesting oS word....
I have neat c***** earrings....
not sure whyat that would be Ruru
no it's limestone, usually spelled sch***
phan, as I said, it starts with a moo animal
then go down and hang a right for the singular
that much I know
with humans it is jewels and money a do******
I need more help, JBV
sh + H***ory Channel
it is crap with an extra s in it scrab
TY, JBV & ruru

I have never seen that limestone without the "c".... oh well....

ok, got it thanks so much
because I nearly did too
wa8,plz
I never heard of the other limestone word sch***
Well I am up to my ears in it..lol

BRB

I learned it in Puerto Rico where there are many limestone caves -
silly word

what do you mean, red?
Were you mean to miley?
st6/27 and st7/40 please?
(passes angelic halo to pam)
nobody was mean to her -- she just got rude
LOLOL, ruru.... I was not aware of how to be appropriately sarcastic, or aware that not all others apprecicate it)
lights up some backlighting
Oh, don't ru, it will explode..
No red, i was referring to my self as a youth....
brb
oh oh , i thought pam said she was...sort of .
Mostly we ignored Miley who told us that we were old and to get a life and she has a life because she is not a nerd. write that down, red, because it's full of wisdom.
I try not to interact with trolls because they bring out the w**** in me
I was a little comedian when I was a kid...
you are younger than my grandma.
I can see that, ruru
LOL
Phew, red.
did i miss a troll???
Ruru, you are still a comedian.
what's going on? What have I missed this past couple weeks?
was it that girl who pretends to be miley cyrus, who i'd never heard of anyway until she claimed it?
cept.. now I am bigger...
Yep, hurshy...mileycyrus16 was her name.
she won't be back...
Hi

Ruru, you are still a comedian....
Hi, hurshy
Hi, herin
Hi, herin!
Can someone please clue the st 6/27 and st7/40==near end of the st's?
i think it's sort of funny to pretend to be someone famous who's only famous to kids and who nobody here is likely to care about. pathetic.
hi Herin!
Hi herin
I missed playing with a troll??? Damn i need to get out of bed earlier
you have the st5 ending in spanish river? make it a verb
hey hurshy and herin
I am going to pop over to FB for a while. see ya'all tomorrow

the 6/27 is full of woe, scrabs...
it's very popular with kids now
whooooooo uhhhhhh whooooooooooooou uhhhh
I have that, hursh
Bye Autumn
Scrab, another word for conflict, often in Bible, and tehn plural

oh you are snotty?
lol
ILOL, krista....
no, fighting sinus headache, ru
so what was with that miley anyways, like i honestly doubt that it was actually miley cyrus because in the chat log history when i just looked it sounded like.. way to ridiculous to be anybody being serious. and i dont know why she would be un-serious about being a dumb bitch for no reason
neti pot, pam...i finally got up the courage to use mine
ra7?
Hugs pam.
but like.. wtf?
ugh.. poor you..
Miley's friend is here now

You are killing me, rur, which is good because I have needed 3 hrs for my last 58 wo**s. 5 to go

ruru, you are making me laugh!!
oh... good..

LOL
kje's internet boyfriend showed himself holding a rodent
Its a nice day here Krista

exactly ruru... wtf! what is wrong with these guys!!!
Don't judge a man by his picture. Just because he was holding a rodent by the tail...don't judge him too soon, kje. He may be a keeper.
here, i'll post the pic again... if anyone recognizes him do not tell on me, as i am pretty sure it violates the rules
At least if you continue the relationship I will knwo what to get you for christmas...
a rat keeper....
scrab.... i hope to God you are joking ; )
A maze for their rats---rats are smart.
KJE everyone wants you as a girl
I never joke, kje. *snicker*

maybe he's a very prosperous exterminator ;)
he could have circus rats...
yea, he brought the black death to an end

I am seriously considering writing a book about all the stupid online dating things you see... it is hilarious and scary as hell at the same time
Inge is that therapy>?
I am so glad that i am chatting rather than babbling
i don't recognize that song, pam
she's of course also saying things like "if you find a guy, make sure you grab him"
sounds scary.. hope you have other options kje..lol

indeed, kje...
OK, should change my icon back before i get caught ; )
KJE the reason this author means allot to me is I lived with the stoner, the student, the slacker and the worker. At one time with up to 10 people in a manson.
she played "ridgiest" for a bingo and said, and i quote "yes, i know, a totally fake word....but it worked, so bite me :) "
ANd i think writing a book about these people is that we can all identify with the types of people
oh no oh no...
and then proceeded to kick my tookus from here to kingdom come
what's wrong, red?
I'll look into it herin
icon ratless and rodentless now
last DR 8 pls

I must get stuff done that I failed to get done while I was finding 299 wo4s in a 5 x 5 grid all day. I love being a nerd!
......no comment..... must not comment....
Good night all! See you tomorrow!
ciao, scrabs!!!!!
LOLOL, feather....
sweet dreams, scrabs
LOL weed... don't hold it in... don't want you to hurt yourself

gn scrabs... sleep well
i'd say it's time to ask for a refund from that site!
dallas
night scrabs!
(oh, I so can't type)
a little bizarre....
pffft i have to do housework
what featherbee said! refund
i suspect there are no real matching criteria
ya think??? lol
i suspect you are correct...., LOLOL
95-99% of the matches are trash... but there have been a couple interesting ones so far... we shall see
unless, possibly, by a slim chance, you wrote somewhere that you liked to play the game packrat, and it went from there
depends on what kje wrote in her profile...sex goddess looking for research material! lol
3 out of thousands are not great odds though
good luck kje
lol lb
fireworks
LOL LBD
KLOLOLOL, lbd
congrats, merk
a co-worker/friend of mine met her hubby on one of those sites. eharmony, or match.com or one of them.
that whole thing about kissing a lot of frogs before meeting the prince
whooooohoooooo MERK
dawg!
ty
and there's definitely a LOT of frogs out there
Feather! how ya been? how's Daniel and Percy?
it's true isn't it shirl... though thankfully i can spot the toads without having to kiss most of them
It wore me out ... heading for bed. See you tomorrow night
grrrrr I am going to have to sleep.
they're good! we're all getting over the crud, and are just peachy keen!
night night, Merk
sweet dreams red... i will likely not be far behind you
percy/nick's 15 months old now
hi all..need help with the fi 5/16 and the 6/27 that follows please
did Percy get dressed up for Halloween?
gn merk
ciao, red...
i'm in the same single state
gn
ciao, merk
yep, he recycled daniel's puppy outfit, and was very cute. daniel was a ghost.
sweet sleep, red
single hetero guys my age are far and few between
o and don't live with their mother
kazz... 1st and plural
before second, kaz
hope you will post pics of them, feather
I never heard of the water rodent before
oh shirl, i read another profile today that must have stated 5 or 6 times how thankful he was for his mom and how he can't live without her.... again i ask you... what the hell are these guys thinking posting this stuff???
i've been absolutely TERRIBLE about keeping up with the pictures. they're there, just on my downstairs computer.
ROFLMAO, kje....
usually they think that ti means they are good to women...
i went on a blind date with a guy who said he was 6 ft (i like them tall) and he's sooooo not
KJE. We have a saying here for those kind of boys: I roll a D20 for charisma
maybe I'll switch teams, pam... any better on your side of the field?
uh huh, like what's his name...Norman Bates
(just kidding btw)
lol kje
herin... i don't understand that
LOLOLOL... I am not in the market at teh moment, not actively anyway... but I'd hazard a guess that it ain't any better at this stage, LOLOL
sorry. I am really crap at explaining today
i don't either, herin
i just figured it was an aussie thing that was going over my head
alas, early shift tomorrow. see you all tomorrow! hopefully.
night dawg!
gnite lbd.
*poof*
ciao, lbd
bye lbd... sweet dreams
Ok a D20 is a 20 sided dice. When we say a D20 on Charisma its a skill point system. As we are roll players in our house we say it about nerds that live at home with their mum and can't score a chick to save themselves
ok that wasnt the set i was missing..had the 5 letter word just not the plural so duh me. I have to go monkey around to see what I am missing
got it herin... didn't know there were 20-sided dice : )
ahhh, D&D stuff?
shoot. what was that sound? the dulcet tones of my dryer buzzer? crap.
there is a fe5/16 6/27 set... did you mean that one kaz?
yep. And you usually say it in one of those high pitched naselly nerd voices. Yep Feather that would be the one
i do nerds, just not nerds who live with their mothers
ooooohhh D&D... i see
nerds are nice, nerd moms only nice if not in the same town.
Practically a nerd living with one here (I think 600 plus Role Playing game books) qualify
or the same state, red
nothing wrong with geeks (as everyone here is one, no?)... but the momma's boy is an entirely different breed
Red my friend is 29 and still at home cause he is tool
exactly, kje
I like geeks a lot, as long as the umbilical c*** is long ago sliced
KJE we usually find in our circle of friends there is one or two of them that are mommas boys and they are regular fodder to be picked on
i'm very attracted to geeks, but see the prob is geeks don't usually go out to socialize, and thus harder to meet them
am going to have to give up the grid and let my ranking slip...oh well.
I still can't figure out what would possess someone to post a pic of themself with a rat dangling from their hands...
well, shirl... i am not sure i want them THAT geeky... they need to have social skills
sleepy poof.
ciao, red
bye red... hugs and sweet dreams
I agree, red....
I meant, i agree, kje... social skills a plus/must
got to meet them first before can judge
true shirl
i'm having problems meeting them
SHirlock that is why you hunt them down using friends of them
all the "nice" ones are too young, too married, too short
I met mine via a friend
shirl... i can send you ratboy's address... he knows how to hunt things down!!!
how tall are you shirl?
ewwwww
Yes well that is true too
Hey i was interested in a lad that had the nickname Ratboy
and the chog goes silent
I am thinking that ratman needs to meet a mousy type. And, kje is NO mouse
no... never been accused of that pammers
that's why we like you so much, kje. Or , at least thta's why I like you, LOL
LOL... i am sure some would dispute that pam
send them to ratman, kje
LOL.. good idea
OK... getting sleepy... night all
weed, take your turn!
ciao, kje... sleep well!
night KJE
hi all is lickety back?

ty got them.
could i get a clue for the os5? i have the music one
Evening all. The stats are in BabAnon and on my profile if anyone needs them. I have just also updated my Flickr with a pic of Margaret Minipig and the details of her health.

tr 8, plz
a type of horse racing bet, aeb. You must get the first three that win the race.
JACCCCCC!!!!!!
ty =)
Hello Pam.
I still have 100 to get...don't know if I can make it
back again. having problems with the TRs
te6?
plural of the te5 before it, Shir.
ty Jac, but I don't know anything about horseracing. All I could get from yr clue was the first syllable.
Hi tyger.
is the tr5 attempts right before tr8, or is there one in between?
lickety should hopefully be getting his broadband connection tomorrow, but i don't know if that means he'll be ready to do the list yet or not. cross your fingers!
te + what you get for doing a good job minus the last vowel
thought so, i don't have the te5 LOL
hey, jac. howarya?
well, I got the tr8 from that, thx :D
thx cj
aeb - normal 3 letter start for a 'three' word + the last 4 letters of when a wound goes bad and gets in****ed + vowel.
yw
jac, I love that squirrel
got it...ty Jac.... I have heard that word before!
going to spend a few min with hubby...bbs
now, is the tr5 makes an attempt right before tr8, or is there one in between? I'm having problems there
yes
yes, what? :)
wait...no
I'm a bit wobbly around the ankles af5 an unscheduled 'ski' off a wet lead down the garden steps on Saturday night, Tyger, but also very relieved that my guinea pig seems to be okay after her big operation. How are things with you?
ao 6 clue please?
clues for the tr7 after the 8?
owww, jac. I'm okay. at least I haven't fallen lately
Nut wouldn't love my squirrel, tyger.:-(
Wet leaf not lead, I meant!
one tr7 is dividing an angle into 3 parts (geometry)
well, I'm not nut :D
I dunno yet whether that's right after the 8, or not, tho
got that one tyger, need the one after
only 7 more words!
go, music
jac, would you please take a look at my problem? is tr5 makes an attempt right before tr8, or is one inbetween them?
I don't have the other one, shir
ty tyger.....Thanx for using the name I prefer.....Musica.
yvw :)
It's right before the tr8, tyger.
I'm a musician, so ....
there's a tr5 before make an attempt
thx, jac. now I gotta find that other one
BBS
what do you play, or sing or play and sing?
did anyone clue the ao 6? did i miss it?
The word Shirlock refers to is an electrical word. Think of the Chinese 'mafia' and change the last consonant.
ao6, mkg, is the normal 3 letters for the heart vessel + 3 letters that look like an abbreviation for 'first'.
that's for tyger, i need the 2nd tr7
ty got it.
2nd tr7 = first 3 letters of an internet pest (tr***) + a vehicle.
Sorry, vehicleS.
thx jacula
y/w, Shirlock.
Hi feather, just noticed your post back down there.
hello 33 to go
Hi Harp.
sh5 after the sh8?
so sorry to disturb, but I am new here - is there somewhere I can go to learn all the abbreviations you all use? tr7? ao6?
Hi Trifioso. Click on 'help above.
tr7 means it's a word that starts with tr and has 7 letters
but how do you know there is one?
sh5 after sh8 is a county. Think 'Lord of The Rings' or 'The Hobbit'.
i have that one jacula, i'm missing another sh5
welcome, trifioso. :)
thanks!
Ah,Trif. Well, nice people like me post a stats list. See my profile.
we have a clues list
click on jacula's icon to see it (for today)
can anyone see it?
sh5 - is a way to cook eggs, i think
okay, I'm totally lost for that other tr7 (not dividing the angle
how does the list get made?
sh8 clue, please?
no, python - that word has a double last cons
thx pythonx
ok
Shirlock - the one you seek maybe the start of your own name + a letter. It means to pull up fabric with lines of elastic.
plural of sh7/44
shies
sh8 is a plural, jellen
there is no double R, ladies
Wrong box, Trif!
heh, got it from pythonx' clue
oh, I am starting to get the gist, I think! So chuffed I was told about this game....
double r is on bottom row, tyger
we forgive newbies for typing in this box, but we ask you to please not do it :)
oh, for goodness sake. THX
The list gets made either by a generating programme by Lickey and formerly BrandyJack, or by players like me finishing the grid without a list.
I thought I was being helpful {{{{{scarlet}}}}}}
Hi Jellen.
Thanks, tyger.
*Lickety I meant.
Hi, Jac :-)
yw, jellen
now, I *still* need help with the other tr7, pretty please???
not the angle division
1st ST 6/18 pls
evenin' y'all!
tyger - first 3 letters of internet pest (tr***) + vehicles.
Hi Pink.
Hi, Pini
23 to go
st6/18 layers
Phan - layers of rock.
right behind you, harp; I'm at 24
thnx, Une
Hi Une.
I'm at 27
car??
okay, so according to the list there are 4 words that start with the letters "ac" - have I got that right?
Yes, tyger.
yes...
...the 2nd number is the point value of the word.
jac, is that a britishism? I don't see anything that looks like a vehicle
Correct. Trif.
can't be a car - that R is already used
use the R up higher tyger
Plural vehicle I said, tyger.
clue please for tr5 in between tr5 and tr8
OHHHHHH, the surgical instrument. thanks very much, all of you
Musica = 'attempts'.
okay, back to work. in theory, I only have 2 left. we'll see how well that works when I type them in here
I got that one, but I'm still missing 0ne tr 5
You working on paper, tyger?
tr= 3 + high card - last vowel
I found it ty...Jac & Shirl
ok...stuck on the AI's; 1 4 and 1 5
last sh6?
Shirlock - you'll get short sh6 if you don't get it!
aha! thx jacular
Scottish words, Pink.
All the ai words begin with what we breathe, btw.
14 to go
could I please have a hint for the ac 5 12?
I should be paying more attention...I haven't moved yet.
thx jac
Keep going Harp! The end is almost in sight.
ac5/12== playing card, thank you
uhhhhhh
I believe it's also the brand name for a painkiller.
te 5 after rips, please
te + hook letter + 2 vowels
musica - change last letter to a personal pronoun. The 6 is then the plural.
It's an Indian/Nepalese marshland.
ar7 plz?
btw jac thanks for posting the list
nm...got it!
have a great night/day all! *poof
(and, yes, jacula, thank you for listing!)
night Pam
Oh, and thankls for all the clues! And, jac, even though I don't list, I do appreciate your posting it for everyone that does
night, pini
geesh, I think I am giving up....I can't get words, even with clues....
8 left, all s's
it takes a while to get the hang of it trif
evening babblers
TR 7/32?
is 122 words pretty good for a first timer? (I have had a horrid day, so if you could all just say yes, that would be most helpful, thx)
1st one
Harp and Pam, y/w re the list.
you bet!!!
yes trifioso
hi onyx
whew, thanks - and thanks for the list tip! most welcome and helpful....you all seem like a really nice bunch!
I try not to list when I play, but that's my choice as I enjoy the challenge. However, there are times when I really appreciate the list to help me finish. That's why I post one for others, when the need is there.
hey pinikula, my cousin's dog is named koda too
how do you know who posts the list each day?
TR 7/32 1st one pls
COOL!!!
Trif - we ARE nice. So nice, you will soon become an addict.
LOL, don't say you haven't been warned.
fireworks here
ah...yes, another one to soon be assimilated!
resistance is futile!!!
wtg wv
phan - internet pest (1st 3 letters) + vehicles.
well, I was going through word twist withdrawal on Facebook, and someone told me about this....
Pink - HUSH! You'll give the game away.
oh, sorry, jacula!!!
3 to go, but i have to feed the fish first
i think that you will soon be enjoyably (is that really a word?) hooked as the rest of us
ROFLOL.
shirl...do you mean single hook or double hook leteer?
wvt - the word made sense to me and so, as far as I'm concerned it IS word.
thnx, I need that too, but there is a TR 7 before that TR 6/7 pair
'Hook' letter clueing is a late night USA thing. Some of we daytime (UK) players disapprove of that kindof clueing.
does the list of answers from each day's puzzle get posted somewhere? I looked in help first, but it doesn't say - I am trying not to ask too many questions of you all....
Me? I don't like words spelled out, but whatever clue works for whomever at whatever time of day....
I just do what I have to, up to a point, depending on what time I'm here.
You can ask as many questions as you want! We all did/do at some point along the way...
Trif - Yes. Go into archives.
thank you.
god this grid is big
BUT.... I still don't get the clue for te5 (after) rips.
Still don't have the ac 5 12 one....grrrrr
so, I still need a TR 7/32 it is right after the 8/60 pls
ac5/12 = high card + part of ttfn
phan - bi + religious group means to cut in half. tr + same means to cut into 3.
te5/10 = te + ***lroad (trains)
okay - but what the heck IS that???But thanks. I can sleep now!
hey, i don't come here very often any more, what happened to lickety's clues?
thnx, Jac
good question, tri!
onyx...he's moving and internet isn't connected yet.
He'll be back!
onyx - Lickety's moving house and so isn't around at present.
ohh. i feel dumb now
no worries...if you need a list...grab one from Jac's profile while she's here!
I've no idea what all the fuss is about through not having the live list rather than just a stats list, but if you need a stats list it's in my profile. Just click on me.
help on the first ar5/10 plz?
you like being "clicked", huh, jac!! ;)
Pink - you can grab the list from my profile even when I'm signed out. Just go to rankings. Quickest one to find me on is the first one. Also, if I'm on your Friends Lists, you can find it.
jac, the live list puts your words in the right spot in it automatically -- big help
ooh jac that's an awful lot of work cool that yo post it... when there is so little time to finish i at least like to try to get the big words
Trust me...you've been on my friend's list for quite some time now...I learned quick!!!!! =)
nm that ar clue for me...found it (duh)... ;)
Pink - no re being clicked on, not particularly. 1st ar5.10 is 'to get up out of bed'.
I have the greatest admiration for you who can get these grids with no list of any kind

I hope for a nice 300 wo4er tomorrow.
co6/24 plz?
Tyger that is a plural of the 4/5 above it
even if Lickety's back, I ain't agonna do it
one who co 4/6's?
the word above de5/12 before Art De4 is a de6
now I am outta here
Jilli, your ex hub, given his name, would prabably approve of my Beloved and I's Christmas to come sans 24 year old, 21 year old and almost 14 year old.
so it can't be, phan
oh please, jac! I have chores to do and it's bridge night and I have a Christmas letter to write and cards to address and two calendars to design.
co6/24: a thicker version of string + a department of a hospital
thx for both ladies ;)
again, please, de5/12 before Art De4
I should've known!
Sorry, Jilli, didn't mean to enthuse your imagination and posting thingeys. I wrote all my Xmas cards last month whilst on holiday with the Atlantic Ocean in my sight.
I still have the Christmas letter to write, though.
I worry about writing Christmas cards too soon before the day though... people divorce, die etc.
done.....ty ALL!
oh -- and Xmas shopping of course too
wtg aeb!
YAY aeb!!!
ty pini
ty jilli
help with ri 5/16 please
3rd request: pretty please with sugar on it, de5/12 just before Art De4
I've done a bit of Christmas shopping, jilli, but haven't yet listed what I've bought for whom.
10 to go!
ri5/16: more of the preceding ri4
I'm just hiding what I have bought for now in a large carrier bag.
go, pini
pini, do you have the de5 I need?
de5/12 = plural of the first 4/5
tyger, I haven't got to the D words yet -- all I have before the Ast De is de5/12, cherished ones
can't be, pini. that one is up before de6/24 and de7/36
Art De, I mean
is it the first de5/12 that you need? and it's pl 6?
de5/12 = darlings. Think start of a letter you'd write and then plural it.
!st de5.12 in the de list = to remove the oxygen.
i.e., de + what you breath?
there are only 2 de5/12s
okay, apologies all around. apparently the one I"m missing is one of the first 3 do4/5
pini, breath is what you breathe
thx for your patience, pini
oops...sorry jili
LOL, jilli
tyger i must be missing the 4 before it then :(
d + metal (3rd 4/5)
d + horses eat ***s (first do4/5)

apparently I have a UTI again - which will make the *third* this year, after going 3 years with none - all since doctor started me on BP meds
thx, jac. that was it. dunno how I managed to misread it
yw, pini
Ther was a Texas US wife swap where the 11-yr-old son was driving a car and nearly ran the 'new wfe' over. Imagine the deep Texas accent from the father here, ' Well, you got in the way'. When she asked who'd given him the keys, she was told, laconically, that, 'he hotwired it' and, when the police become involved on one occasion,'well, they got away, llike un they always do!'. When she asked if the Texas rancher ever took his wife out for a meal, he told her he did, on occasions, to the local TrckStop, but that is wasn't so bad.
UTI?
*Truckstop
tyger, are you referring to the at4/4 I clued?
My other half is a trucker but he's never taken me to a truckstop fora romantic meal other than when we were on the road and it couldn't be avoided.
UTI is urinary tract infection, I believe.
back...interesting story jacula...haven't seen that one yet...
yes, jilli - she told me it was an AT, you clued it about the time I found it :)
ty jellen
you're right jellen
you're right, jellen it definitely is
If you haven't seen that yet, Pink, just wait until ou see the Pirate family one.
I told you it was an at, lol!
oh boy!!! =)
9 left and most are RE's...anyone care to clue the odd ones?
sadly, they're mostly 4s and 5s :(

I want absolutely nothing to do with revisiting re words, gaaa
Also forgot to say that the Texas wife swap family had a car door hung in a tree as their greeting garden for visitors.

yes, I remember those well, jacula! LOL
jac, I've emailed the lexulous guys for the third time -- have never had a reply although they promise one within 12-18 hours.
Failing that, try thinking of someone who makes notes about everything.
!!!excellent description Jacula!!
Glad you have also suffered, reparteena!
Jilli - we must wait and hope then, I guess.:-(
till my ears bled!
back in a bit...
