ok, ill play aroung with that. thanks
Wow. Outside everything is totally still and nothing is faling. That was sudden!
This last week, it's started to get chilly outside at night. I don't like cold weather
it's 47F out here...was 31F this morning... brrrrrrrrr
i wish this grid had an A
Our first frost was about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I harvested the chili peppers.
Lemme look up our temp...
we had snow this AM but it didnt last long about a half inch if that
It's 45F outside right now. We haven't yet turned the heat on this season
samantha do you have a fireplace?
we had 33 while they were practicing tonight; hot choc in ther'nn'os in the car
ei8
Yes, and we started a fire one night, but more for ambiance than for heat--it's not nearly large enough to heat the whole house
was about the 30s or so here tonight and windy most of the day
For heating the house, we bake cookies!
1.1 C. That's, ummmmmm, 33.9 F
we haven't had snow yet *hopes the snow gods didn't hear that*
we have heat but i wish we had a real log fireplace
HI hang on is that 201 again?
or an electric one
There's an ei8??!!?
This is early for snow. Usually the cloud cover warms things up enough to prevent snow.
yep
Hi Herin!

Hello

my phantom word is negro.
nothing is mine
hwo about the word neither
nothing he4 as well
nihilist (phantom)
"The negro could decide on neither "interest" nor "ignition", which left him with nothing."
Darn. Nihilist was too late to get in the sentence. Feel free to rewrite
well done, sam!
Thank you, jillibus

morning all. Our motherdog-to-be is in heat and the breeder expects the puppies will be born early Feb. :)
wtg hugs...and what kind of puppies sprite
king charles cavaliers
babies on the way .congrats sprite I how you get a great doggie
Hi sprite - great news
we are so excited :)
I'll bet
oh sprite -- that's marvellous!
this little lady dog has kept us waiting for almost 3 months after her regular heat period :D I bet we will get the perfect puppy for us. She made it so.
she had to be ready I guess :)
absolutely, lol. I like it, the way she is taking her own sweet time.
and cjmomma, I like your lamp post :D
hi spritie
thanks....didn't have time to find one today...
I am having trouble finding the first two no's- 4,4s. Help!!
and yours, jilli
hi lady
how r u
thanks, sprite -- did you see flosey's? It's from Victoria
fr night/dark & anagra'nn'
jai, the first is french for black, the next is an anagram
I think they are all interesting...most historical places have the best ones
TY!
so jilli, I think I am going to put up a pic of the mamma dog on for the week that I am off :)
good icon too, lady
great idea, sprite!
thats where i would rather be at the moment
Hey Sprite!...I stepped away to write my tome and send it off to the condo police...had another violator who can't accept rules...
huh??
darn PAV! We had one in the grid even yesterday, lol. How are you?
I'm a bit ti4d...Joey has an inner ear infection, shaking his head and otherwise feeling miserable, keeping me awake....he'll be better now that the meds have begun...
poor Joey :( And poor PAV. But not so bad to have you up and awake and online on Babble *evil grin*
Pav Bucket head the dog that should sort him out
so when I stepped out around 11 pm my time...it's 12:42 now, we came upon a foursome inthe community pool/jacuzzi with their pet dog along for the ride...pool closes at 11, pets aren't allowed in any public pool area, glass is not allowed in the pool area, and it doesn't help one bit to yell and swear at condo Board members(like me) telling them to scidaddle.....put a bucket on Joey's head? naw..I've been leaving him downstairs while I sleep upstairs...but last night I joined him down here, only Precious slept...her infection isn't so bad...
and give him a hug
isn't this the 3rd day in a row that we have 201 words??
Pav um its the thing they put on dogs head after they neuter them AND a dog in the pool is as gross as wizzing in it
I thought that myself Sprite! Hello everyone
I say Joey is my Special Needs dog,,he always needs special attention, esp. when he's ill....he gets all the hugs he allows me
tough times when your babies aren't well, PAV. Cuddle for all three of you. And people who think rules don't apply to them usually don't have nice personalities...
HI lynxx
hi lyn! Good day to you.
My cat ran into the kitchen today for no reason other than to hiss at the b.f
Hi lynxxx and night...see you all later, pillow calling me ...
night cjmomma, sleep well
It is Sprite...just checked the list of them on Lickety
thanks lyn, funny thing that is.
when the resident first moved in, we had our first go'round, and I was lenient then, but tonight withthe dog in the pool area, it was a major blow up....I've asked the Board to consider closing the pool area until Spring...
nite CJ
thanks Sprite for the hugs...I took them for a walk and I'm the one pooped!
very irritating, PAV
that is because you worry and are taking care of them, while they just demand your total attention until they feel better, hehehehe
adn when do your poopies appear?
they should arrive in4 this world around 2nd of Feb. After that they will live with mama dog for another 8 weeks. So early April we will be a 5 member family :)
that is, provided all will go well
Ah, Spring...time for renewal and growth! they'll be soooo cute......and messy....
hi all.. checkin in with lots of time to go!
lol yes, and we will be as prepared as we can. But loving the beastie will be the main part and I know we will put that part off pretty well.
hi clown, welcome
I've not had my pets as true poopies, they've all been at least a year old...still messy....
will PULL off that part
hi Clown
dogs are messy, I guess. We have this old carpet that should have been thrown out months ago, but we keep it until after the puppy is thoroughly housebroken.
because I just know that even though 3/4 of the room is tiled, the puppy will prefer the carpet for oopsies and other bad moments...
sprite/lynxxx how r u managing the puzzle.. so far.. I am just gettin started
I've replace my carpets with wood floors, 'cept for the stairwell - and that's where Joey leaves his gifts...when he's upset, 'cause otherwise he's been a dream to learn my schedule and go outside...
clown, I am not finding it easy so far. Not quite halfway and already searching for words.
same with me - exactly in fact. weird
Precious, the smart (!) one, knows to go outside or on the pee pad already, so she's good all the time....
well, let the game begin
I've slowed down at 99, with 102 left...
:)
I've slowed down at 99, with 102 left...

yup, 2 am and all stands still...

I hope so, MGuy
we have snow in the Netherlands. But no matter how bad it gets, we will have the sauna and swimmingpool indoors all week, so bring on the cold. Just hold the storms until we are safely on the island...
whee -- found the or8 :)

bye Jilli, and (Infernal
sleep well, jilli, and dream even better :)
ohhh found the ei words. So rewarding! Well, after the initial blindness they feel that way, lol.
I'm periodically lurking, so... yay Sprite! Clue 'em? And hi!
think numbers, MonkeyG, and hi :)
Ah, thanks!
So you get a vacation, I glean?
oh yes :) 5 days with 4 of my friends in a nice cottage, on Ameland, with sauna and swimmingpool and jacuzzi
OH NICE!!!! Make a nice change from all the gloom. Although if anything's falling I do prefer snow, so today is nicer...
true, MonkeyG, it looks nicer, lol. But it is COLD!
Except the gale force winds... have to take teh dog to the woods soon...
Cold, yes, cold. And Danny of course cannot take that-- never weighed more than 47 kilos in his life.
oh man, no fat for insulation. He must be freezing.
Are all teh words from the upper left N normal? I can only see 7 of them.
He is, but we have central heat here.... Sure beats our first 7 years in the tiny place with the kerosene heater that would heat 2 square meters nicely and couldn't be used at night.
normal for me MG - 5 no & 5 ni....and Hi
and a fleece blanket for when he sits still. Costs no more than a few euro and is great in keeping you warm.
Hi! Thanks.
Yeah, we have lots of blankets.
still missing 2 words from that tile
Any no's onger than a 5?
Me too, Sprite.
not from that tile, I think, unless it is the one I don't have yet
Thanks!
Do you know if anyone has seen Lil Monkey in a while? Haven't seen her in forever. Hope everything's OK.
no haven't seen her in ages :(
I'll drop her an e-mail and say people are just wanting to make sure she's OK and all.
that would be great, MonkeyG, and please send her my *hugs*.
Will do!
thanks
Lil*Monkey was on yesterday and finished the grid.
Ah, good to hear! Well, still no harm in my having sent an "everytyhing OK?" e-mail....
ah thanks autumn moon
good intentions from a warm heart never do harm
(She's also kicking my butt in bowling buddies on facebook)
no 6 21 out of that one
Aha!
Thanks NDan!
that must be my missing one, thanks nDan
That did it, thanks. Greyed that one now.
lol autumn! Guess she is very ok then!
Don't really approve... is that really an acceptable word?
there it is, thanks again nDan
I'm annoyed about resit. It's a word! One of my classmates has to resit her exam next week!
I best to bed now. I'm up really late. Ni-night (or good day)
it seems so, MonkeyG. Informal, but: "1955–60; metanalysis"
Ahhh! Cool.
Night, Autumn!
yeah true. Also, when I need a drink again, I reth6. Stupid enable.
sleep well, autumn moon!
how many no 7's, please?
oops nm found 2
oh, the O biggies is a plural babbler

that is all Dee

Hmmm... not orniths....
gulp
one letter short of the sin bin, MonkeyG... bad girl
Oh dear...
*giggles* Me being so thorougly obscure...
Not that that is helping me find the word I nearly said... must need more coffee.
see you soon MonkeygamES
'oregano' is pestering me and yes I know there is no A in the whole grid. Just me being silly.
A few days ago I could not stop seeing "biopsies".
oh that was the grid with the opsin... well I have forgotten it again. Some weird word I had trouble spotting. Optsin or something like that.
ro 6 has a peeler
hi BabRab!
and once peeled it makes me cry
hi BabbleRabble, so good to see you.
te 7 --- a charged bird
Hello, peeples Howdy, sprite
lol good one
That kind of charged!!! I was distracted by the er4.
Got it now and all.
cryptic clue, love those
octo portions
wtg MonkeyG
Got those, thanks to Sprite.
also a very cool clue
morning all
hi Ishult
Hi there!
good day, Ishult
off to the sin bin with our MonkeyG
took me a while, but just understood your "charged bird" clue BR, nice one!!!
Auggghhhh! Slumps off...
but I put great coffee in th5, MonkeyG, so it isn't so bad
Oh, thank you so much!
we are going to do at least a cup of coffee together in real life in the new year, MonkeyG. Somewhere in between illnesses and bad backs and such we must be able to ;)
GOT to!!! Bear in mind also that all going well I become vastly more sane in 8 weeks...
sorry can't have that. With you even more sane I will look a complete idiot.
at first was wondering if the te 7 was an aphrodisiac
might need an M for that
Awww, silly, you're GREAT! Walter has correctly informed me that it is snack time (he has learned to recognize teh important times on teh clock), and then I will need to clean and shop. Have fun, everyone!
bye MonkeyG and Walter, have a good day and take care of the back!
how's your progress, sprite
fireworks he4 and I must be off too. Lots of packing to do, and all the preparations to feel okay about being away a whole week. Like making sure the babble icon themes will be available. Bye all, be well and alive. See you all in a week.
well, i guess i got my answer - have a good day, sprite
be well, sprite
lol josh, guess you have :) Hi and bye!
good morning from a very cold house in England :-)
Morning Katie Heating gone kaput?
Yep, we fixed the original problem but the the boiler died, need a new one. We took the cover off the old one and it really doesn't look safe to repair so need to bite the bullet
ouch!
As my brother said yesterday it could be worse it could be the coldest weekend of the year!
lol it's not exactly summer outside today
Honestly this is like the house that Jack built. It looked great but everything that needs repairing is worse than it looks, bodged jobs everywhere.
I'm particularly looking forward to the snow later ;-)
Is it a new house?
Morning all. Eek, 201 words again! Looks nasty
No it was in the late 70's, the boiler is 10 years old. Its just things like not enough cable to be able to replace the fuse in the boiler as you can't take it to bits, the main light fitting being earthed to plasterboard, the lights in the kitchen being stuck in with tap as the holes were too big, I could go on.......
*tape
Hi Sally, we seem stick at 200 words grids :(
Not a letter A in sight :-(
There seems to be something about late 70's builds (mine is too) did they not believe in building well in those days?
I think that the person before us was an enthusiastic trier who had more enthusiasm than talent :-)
coffee time back shortly
On the bright side the fire is still working and we will need to cuddle up for warmth. When I was little we didn't have central heating so I am sure we can live without it
ge 6 -- add what is paid to temporarily use a ge
I've only put the heating on twice so far this winter. yay found a 7!
Greetings BR
I like my heat a bit more than that ;-)
Hi BR
and to you too
hello, Katie
seriously hubby has just left the back door open, bbl after I have sorted him out!!
My partner won't put the heat on till the evening. I woke up in a bedroom that was 12 C and had to get dressed in a hurry.
Morning, BTW.
lol Morning hydra
hello, hydra ... don't partners share decisionmakeing?
Good morning all.
Whats the climate like where you are BR?
hello, Haz
Good morning Haz
Hello there!
25 F feels like 13
I agree with you Babble, that some decisions should be shared. Heating is a fundamental.
hello Great Britianites
Not in this house, Babrab. Just had to go and evict next door's cat who was about to walk over my keyboard and ruin Babble.
Hi lynxxx!
Hello lynxxx.
Hi lynxxx
You see, it's his house and everything must be done his way. I have a fan heater blasting away on my ankles.
25f, lovely!
No compromise possible, hydra?
one day Hydra you'll get to move
'Fraid not. He's the stubbornest man you ever met and has been even worse since his stroke last year. I am planning an escape. I'll live in my own warm flat and visit him at weekends.
how is the novel progressing, hydra?
That sounds good Hydra, and you'd get lots of writing done
HAving spearate place does have it benefits
We had neighbours who used to penny pinch with everything so that they could leave money to their grown-up, very well-off sons. I couldn't understand it at all.
He does have his good side, though, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed so long.
No, I can't understand that either, Haz.
If the sons had had any wit, they'd have insisted that the parents bought some coal instead of being so miserly on their behalf.
Sounds like the sons had been spoiled and were very selfish.
moving to the list with 31 left out of time necessity
One had an excuse in that he didn't live nearby to see what was going on. That wasn't the case with the other one.
You're doin' great, josh. I have 151 left.
who gets an estate is a source of trouble for many. If the testators cannot agree, the wills provide a life estate in the survivor, little may be done
of course, the survivor may decide to be a spendthrift
I spent yesterday writing my will. Now everybody's got to be nice to me :-)
and if no will is left all hell breaks out
sometimes, the testators devise the property to the survivor trusting that he/she will dispose of the property in a manner agreed upon.
My mum didn't have one so it was a year before we could sell the hbouse.
Its OK Hydra, you didn't have to put all of us into it, we'd be nice to you anyway
LOL
Can you imagine the size of the room needed for the reading of the will?
Good snowy morning all
It would hsve to be the first every cyberspace will reading event.
Hi chickie!
Morning chickie
hi Chickie
Good morning chickie.
Gorgeous furry icon, chickie!
hi hydra,lyn and haz. TY hydra lol

Congrats josh
Hooray for Josh!
way to go josh..:)
Congratulations josh
words are not flowing for me this morning, think I will come back to this later.
any clues before i am off?
See you later, FM.
bye FM, mine are lurching along too
bye FM.:)
did every one go back to bed? it is awful quiet out there..:)
No. Just trying to get down to 60 b4 I sign off
Just working at the grid, chickie.
where's Lori! maybe she saw the ir6.18 and got frightened off
I see. This is not the easyist grid I've seen. How do you spill with out A's??
It's a high possibility, lynxxx.
***Lori stomps in. Grumpy about the first snow of the year.*** G'd morning Babblers!
Good morning Lori(Canada).
I think I will go to Scrabble for a while.
goodmorning Lori! did i flush you out?
Hey lori we got 8" how much did you get? Its to early for this stuff..:)
lol hodag, nowhere near that, yet....we're on the coast, so we always get less.
Maybe 4 inches I'm guessing. But it's to snow and bluster all weekend. Yuk.
I see. We always get lake effect and the alberta clippers from you guys lol
I feel 'yer pain hodag. Alberta clippers have punished us as well. :(
here too. I had about one foot drift infront of my barn and my chickens don't like it because they have to stay inside and they don't have much room in there. The clippers are not much fun!
Time for me to go. The Saturday shopping pain lies ahead. No snow, though.
done -- well down to 60 anyway - bye all
Bye!
ge 6 -- add the payment for the temporary use of the ge
I love shopping of any kind...:) bye Haz
I'm off to. Have a good day all....:>)
Sleep tight Lynx! Have a great day hodag.
Oops, later Haz. :) G'd morning BR
Hello, Lori
Good morning everyone.
G'd morning elder. :D
Everything ok your end LoriP.:)
Except for the yucky snow, life is good. How ya' been feeling, a bit better every day?
Its very cold here but no snow. Am doing fine, working everyday, exhausting but body needs time to get into the routine again.
Miss you girls and Babble:)
That's to be expected. One day at a time. Good things to ya!
Thanks and to you. :)
*stomps back into chat room hoping for a bit of light relief*
morning all
G'd morning Mrs Katie. Pretty quiet here this morn, you'll have to shake it up a bit.
hello Katie.
Hello Lori & Elder, how are you doing after the op elder?
In the shake, please could you add an 'A' .
I was on earlier and ground to a halt at 68 due to the lack of an A
Coming along well thank you. Back at work everyday, less hrs and building up.
octo portions
That's good elder, remember not to rush it though you need to take care of yourself
48 left after the first sweep. Now the ugly part begins....
Katie. yes, my back is good at reminding me to ease off at times.
I think the cold is messing with my ability to find words :-)
LoriP.. your doing exceedingly well.
Katie.. I will go along with that reasoning :)
the ending of Paltrow's first extends a five to seven and plural
heating is broken :-(
Katie.. and on one of the coldest weekends for a long time. Have you any alternate heat?.
adds prepositions to where you are at, neither **** nor *****
I'm sat in front of the fire at the moment and the shower is electric luckily. It's really hard to get people to come out and quote, they all seem to be the same company. We had one over the phone for £1650 which is just too expensive
in 7 a natural number
Katie, they have you over a barrel. Thats so much money. is it gas ?.
yes we need a new boiler. I have calls out to two local plumbers so I'm hoping that they will come out and quote. It's just so many of the numbers lead to the same man it drives me mad.
Hello Babble and thanks for the clues.
katie, well lets hope there is a plumber out there for you who is fair and does the job well.
I'm going to the list early :-)
fingers crossed elder
Hello, elder. May you feel the strength of those who care and your maker.
horse talk
Babble , thank you :)
Katie and toes.
the first five ni's all start with the same four letters
Thank you for the ni clue, BabbleRabble!

Hello Sally.
Hi elder
Finding today's grid very hard!
Bit like pulling teeth, they sneakily hidden.
It's a mean one sally

Hello Ata, a glamorous entry. :)
looong walk with the pup :)
good morning Babblers :)
are we stuck on 201 word grids or what?
Oh :) refreshing but chilly . Ata.
Hello Nono.
yep, we were playing around in the river Stour
"In" the river? Brrrr.
it's alright when you start jumping around!
and loved every minute, especially the rubbed down afterwards .
Hello all. Isn't this our 3rd day of 201 words?
Hi Scrabs :) yes I think it is
Hello Srabs.
morning everyone:)
Hi Crossy. :-)
good morning; does anyone else find it weird that 3 of the last 4 puzzles had 201words and one had 200?
Hello Cross. how you doing ..
hi Crossy and phan
doing great elder;)
Downright Spooky, phandmd. I refreshed each day thinking it was the same grid.
dn if you heard but my post chemo tests came back all clear!:)
woohooo crossy thats wonderful news!
Cross. Good to hear.. able to eat better.
Hello Phand.
WOWEEEEE Crossy! That is the best news!!
yup im my old piggy self once again;)
Indeed that is awesome news
Cross, brilliant.:)
cant beat it with a stick:)))
icecream time!
omg crossy, I saw your webcam yesterday. SO much snow!!
and we got another foot yesterday ata!!!!!
see if i can get you a fresh pic
it's almost inconceivable to someone who looks amazed at an inch of snow!
Ata, oh, feel chilly just thinking about it.:)
have a look at his webcam, if he finds a new pic!
http://www.bluemountain.ca/grand_centr al_lodge_web_cam.asp
The county just south of me has gotten about 40 inches of snow in the last week--the ski resort opened on Thursday.
that pic is 30 seconds ago or so
can anyone explain why ernest woul not be found in the dictionary?
our resort opens today
because it's earnest
don't you just get *sick* of dealing with snow?
What a beautiful place, Crossy!!
well duh! thnx
now I feel stupid
yes,we do ata
lol scrabbs,looks like a fairy tale dosent it?
lol I always want ernest, that's how I know :P
The lodge looks like a castle.
it's just gorgeous!
im all sore from walking in it,under it and over it lol
Cross. :)
another foot and we will need to break out the snow shoes
actually had to wear the crampons yesterday (sp)
wow. ick!
stairs were death traps otherwise
hate crampons hate snow hate skis. LOL.
I guess I shouldn't move to Canada :P
was hoping for the other foot before i had to come home yesterday then i would of stayed at one of the chalets cause the beer was on ice and our outside hot tub was open:))
Ata, Canada not the place for you :)
I like outside hot tubs though!
the kitchen had a big vat of steaming hot soup,and a ton of hot chocolate;)
I hate feeling out of control, and I never feel in control on snow!
hi
I would come for the sights, the hot tubs and hot chocolate.
mmmmmm hot chocolate
you get used to it, ata
lol on the way to work yesterday at one point the only way i knoew i was on the road was by orientating myself by the light poles lol .how is that for out of control ata:)
Hello Lady.
You just drive very slowly and avoid the cowboys that drive like maniacs and slide off the road
hello, elder
I used to love it, then I was involved in a nearly very big accident on a mountain in the Lake District involving lots of snow and ice, and ever since then ... don't trust the stuff! :P
yup,i watched 5 cowboys go and visit the ditch:)
Cros lol.
Alas, I must get going. I have a long work day: to one hospital now to see a kid, then in the office from 9-3, then to another hospital to see 3 newborns, then to my cousin's to celebrate her birthday.
have a good day, scrabs!
tc scrabbs and give those plump bunnies a kiss from me;)
well, have an awesome day, Scrabbler!
Bye for Now Scrabs. have a good time at the birthday celebrations.
The SUV or pick-up driving cowboys think they cannot slide and they are the on4 in the ditches.
wow, scrabbs..
Tomorrow I get to relax he4 at home with my plump bunnies.
mmmm bunnies...
howdy yo what up hey Hi
those bunnies that are so plump and lovely you could almost eat them? Figure of speech of course ;)
hello to you as well cupcake
i wouldnt touch a hair on thier tasty heads!
have a great day Scrabs!
touch a hair on the hare lol so witty:)
why worry about the heads when the thighs are so plump?
hi Babblers! another biggee, but so far it seems to be a friendly grid..
I'd love to meet a house bunny, I never have :(
hello Aloy.
actually ata we had one one and found them quite a pain as a domestic pet.we also had a pet raccon
hello Aloy. it gets rather unfriendly as you go along
i can see its going to be a typo day:/
are they good at being toilet trained?
ooh, ok, Nono.. I am forewarned
I guess so or else people wouldn't have them as pets *sigh* brain wake up plkease!
yes to both..the racoon trained in 2 days
wow!
and fyi..a raccoon will sell its little evil soul for raw bacon;)
like ferrets and marmite
lol crossy, I do believe they will do the same for most any tasty tidbit
crossy, I didn't know till recently that raccoons can harbor an intestinal roundworm that doesn't hurt them but can be lethal to other living things..
ANOTHER 201 grid?
this 3 in a row
lol, welcome, carlee
yes Carlee and good morning to you too
hello carleekat.

kje, did you see that a comedian in your current location has been sentenced to 45 yrs in prison for his comments about the cyclone??
kje. :0
apparently it is BR - LOL
The golfer was intent on t***** up his ball
is it my imagination or is the total words 201 for the third time?

it's the Babble trifecta, oodle! LOL
jean - I am virtually traveling at the moment... I am still in Dallas for now
ah, ty BR...is the golf term the only other one using the gerund?

just heard that Hilary accepted Sec. of State position.. she will be good
jean - did you travel alone? I am curious about some of the smaller asian countries re: travel as a single woman
sounds great, kje!
I do not understand why my cats think that just because I'm sitting at the computer, it is an open invitation to come and plant their fanny right in front of my face. Is this some type of complementary gesture in their world?
hi ppl
nonnie - i do not understand cats .
I was with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT)
Une are you joking or serious about the guy in prison for 45 yrs
their groups are limited to 16
no, it's in the New York Times
and it's not over . . . more charges against him
omg
what is the story?
une, i missed your comment... what cyclone?
he 5.12 --- add, a Hindu teacher of mystical knowledge: maha*****
THE cyclone
wow...the charges for being a bad comic are worse than for murder
any clues
in May of this year, kje
cyclone a few months ago mashed Myanmar
let me check une... my paper is still in the yard somewhere - brb
should be: a Hindu teacher of mystical knowledge: mahar****
ty br for that clue i would never have got that 1
look online!
ah well, you know these authoritarian regimes
oooooohhhhh - MY area... man, i was thinking texas
kje! LOL
fireworks to send me off.. am helping at an environmental fair today, so must get a going.. Happy Babbling, all.. see you next grid.. ty for all the great clues, BR.. byee

60 to go . . . BBL . . .
bye une
interesting une.. comedians, poets, musicians.... dangerous lot there
Well...Myamar seems to put anyone in jail for as long as they want...
where is the story.. is it on line?
paltrow's first ending for kelly
that is what you can do if you are a dictator, sukee... I am thinking of applying for the job... i will throw everyone in jail who let there children run rampant in restaurants... last night a kid from another party ran into our table and knocked over my drink... off with their heads!
oodle - NY TImes - go to their home page and search myanmar - second story
their
ty
I don't understand people who just let them loose in a public place and think someone else should have to put up with their children.
these 2 were unusually bad - it was a mexican restaurant so casual, but not a playground... and the parents were letting these 2 elementary age kids play chase - wtf?
n oir
No good. Not only is it disrupting for the other guests but it could turn out to be very dangerous.
lol kje! ive had parents let kids wrestle in an elementary school that our church just got fixed up. yeah, these kids were representing our church real well...not
my mom (late 70s) motioned one over to her and told him "we do not run in restaurants" and the mother glared at her - that made me laugh... you can get away with that at 70...
LOL\
that did make them stay away from our table
Good for you mom!
lol, yes, i would too if she told me that, and i didnt know her... LOL!
the annoying part is that the parents didn't care... it would be different if they were apologetic or even embarrassed and you knew they were just overwhelmed... but often lately, it seems parents feel they have the right to allow children to behave badly and it is everyone's else fault if they have a problem with it
good morning all, just starting and th** grid looks h ard
I was in a place once and the mother was letting her little one hang over the booth that we shared...holding a very large cup. Of course the child dropped the cup...on my side of the booth and it spilled all down my back. The mother apologized but I still went home with a sopping backside and I doubt if the parent learned a lesson.
good morning, peri!
but it was a completely unpredictable accident nonnie!!!! LOL
lol, nonnie, ive heard of a couple of kids going out to eat for strait a
i don,t find it kje
Yep, I'm sure that is what the mother was thinking :o)
s, and the guy behind them started puking, loud
LOL nonnie
hold a sec oodle

How many words today?

201 again
201..again...and again..and again
Thanks.
hi carlee
Hey, anyone know why one would start to get bruising around the location of a potentially slipepd disc? Can't call my doctor; it's Saturday.
hi annie :0)
201 words 2407 21 Nov 201 words 3183 20 Nov 203 words 2721 19 Nov 244 words 4039 18 Nov 58 words 558 17 Nov
ok..then only again and again
21 NOV! MY B-DAY!
so, babrab, does that mean we're in for another real biggie!
MG - have you been massaging the spot a lot? that can cause bruising, as there is more blood flow to the area, potentially....
hope so
Nooooo.... I'm not touching it!
hey there iuman, happy birthday on Sunday - I won't be around to say it then
flosey, 21 nov was yesterday...
Luckily I have an appt with the orthopedist on Mobnday and I'm sure this isn't an actual emergency...
Happy Birthday to you, iumanwwjd123!!!
wait, didn't you get injections? is there bruising at the site?
lol, looking at wrong month!! happy birthday Yesterday then
you can bruise from an injection, MG
No injections yet. I get x-rays and a consult Monday, then maybe the shots.
thx annie and flosey
HB uman!
annie how are you?
thx tri
This has been undisturbed since my last acupuncture treatment 10 days ago. No shots, massages, overexertion, etc.
Owl, darn cold here but I am fine and how are you, Owl?
well, then I am stumped, MG. def tell the doc, it is an important aspect.
this grid is going to make me throw something...valueable...hard...
I will but I doubt he'll miss it anyway... it's purple.
ok, im gonna take a brake for a while... bye ppl
Bye iuman!
am fine...it's pretty cold here for soearly
MG, are you in pain?
later iuman
Oh yes, for four months now.
Doctor has tried me on a series of drugs... NSAIDS, opiates, valium... no change. Well, it does keep gettingw oprse.
MG, Is it possible to reach the doctor by phone?
9 physio treatments, 8 acupuncture, and FINALLY last week the orthopedist. Get x-rays on Monday.
There is a number i can call to talk to a doctor but all they'll say is it sounds like a non-emergency or to come in if I get really worried.
Another study looked at 34,407 acupuncture treatments given by professional acupuncturists. None of the treatments caused any serious harm. Again, there were some minor side effects, such as bruising in about 1 in 60 treatments, pain in about 1 in 80 treatments and bleeding in about 1 in 250 treatments.4
can anyone help me with the ne5/16 plz?
And I'm not-- just think this is an odd development, but hardly emergency-room worthy.
Fun, I JUST read that one! No, I'm sure this is unconnected to the acu.
ne --- horse talk
AHA - thanks a lot BabbleRabble.
I did get some very small haematomas a couple times from that, but this new one is a pretty big bruise.
OK, going away now, Walter wants a shower and given the earlier fingerpainting escap[ad]es I think I'd better grab the chance to get him in there. Have funa ll!
MG, when my daughter was about 16, she bent down to get something from the refrigerator and she could not get up. when she did she was in a great deal of pain. we decided to go to the chiropractor who was very close by and he did what he did and she walked out of there just fine. thank goodness. have you ever considered consulting a chiropractor? She never went back.
i absolutely LOVE beginning of a grid - whipping off words, like I am so kind of genius. Such a self esteem boost! And then, by the end, I feel like a complete stooge
Trif, it sounds entirely normal for a babbler. Good morning/afternoon all.
Hi Haz!
Hello Annie, how are you?
I am fine Haz and hope you are too. How is dear Spangle?
morning haz!
hi haz!
She's very well indeed. I'll need to get her restored to her rightful position. Violet Jessop has served her purpose.
Hello TO!
ah, your majety * curtsies*
isn't there a word that means to go back on a deal? Reged? reneg? isnt' that a word?
tri, add a vowel at the end
ty!
And we're back.
yw
haz you inspired me...after dental appointment yesterday i shopped until 2030!
Oh good for you TO! Were you successful with your shopping?
for myself, i was.
Well, that's good.
I must tell you what happened when husband arrived back.
do tell!
I thought he was taking Spangle for a walk while I shopped. It turned out that he had walked her, but had then headed to a car dealership and had bought a new car!
That's what I call purposeful shopping!
!
It kind of put my purchases in the shade.
was the car for spangle? no more walks, she has to drive herself now?
and very good for the economy!
hahahahhaaaha
In his defence, he had been talking about it for a while and the cars were being sold more cheaply than usual.
so----roller, bentley, excalibur, what was it?
He has zero interest in cars but needs a reliable car with a big boot. Another Vauxhall Vectra. It's like driving a bus.
Enjoy your new car, Haz! An Aston Martin?
I'd hate to see an Aston Martin after a close encounter with country lanes....
omg, my friend afric's dad had a teeny little Vauxhall mini or some such when they were little, and every single time she rode in it she was sick! So after years of that torture he went to get a new car....and came home with the new model of the EXACT same car! Apparently her mom went NUTS at that point
It's practically the same car as before and the same colour as well.
any gn words?
None, TO.
ty!
must go finish stylingmy hair. it's due for a cut and looks punky. bbs
See you later.
bye , Owl
back again
Hello Katie. Still cold?
welcome back, Katie
freezing, you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to get people to come and quote!
It's the weekend, I suppose they want to do anything except work.
We can't even get them to make appointments in the week, the weekend thing I can understand. Going to try a friend to see if he knows someone now. The man from up the road was supposed to be coming round but hasn't turned up!
That's really frustrating!
quote what katie
yep! The one quote we had over the phone seemed really expensive but we have nothing to compare it to
We need a new boiler oodle, no central heating or hot water at the mo
Is it just to replace the boiler?
ohhhh quote you a price
how cold is it there now, kate?
annie still here?
back hi katie hioodle
Yep just to replace the boiler, I thought £1650 was a tad high but to be honest I don't know
hi ya TO
HOLY POUNDS BATMAN
Hi TO
it's 5 degrees in our language, will just google what that is in yours
I am a science major, katie... no need to google that
maybe 40?
can someone please list what the 8's begin with?ty
It's a pity you can't google a quotation for replacing a boiler.
where in England are you katie
Hi Kitt its Michelle, we have just had a new boiler this week and it cost 2650 and that was with a discount
ei8, gr8, or8
I just have ei8 which is a number
41F I think!?!
that does seem high, but once the weather cools, prices often go up, don't you think?
and you don't even have time to get alot of quotes
I would have guessed 40, so you are probably right
we are in the Midlands just on the edge of West Midlands and East Midlands
ty annie did not have that
I think they heard a woman on the phone and decided to take the micky, I will get Bry or Dad to try next
ok looking up your area at sympaticl's weather site
"take the mickey" - that is a new saying for me... I know slip someone the mickey, but that is drugging them...
'Take the mickey' means making fun of someone.
oooohhhh
thanks for the clarification, b/c in context, i would have guessed to take advantage of
yup that is what it is cause 6 is 46
oh, stepped in just in time! I learned about mickey back in the 70s when my good friend in Paris was from Gloucestershire! LOL
so about that
she was stunned that I had no idea what she was talking about! :-)
hi une! can someone pleasew tell me today's theme btw? ty
today's theme is old, quaint lamp posts
these things have a theme?
so it doesn't have anything to do with a mouse eh?????? :-D
and you have a nice one there une
ty.
It's funny, you get so used to your own expressions that you don't realise how strange they sound to others.
a big moment for my daughter and me . . . I'm actually using the decorative Xmas candle I gave my daughter 2 years ago . . . and she regifted to me last year! LOL
It's the icons that are themed - some people change regularly, others not so often.
oodle - care is needed with mickey! In ireland, "mickey" is also the pe 5 from the grid two days ago...
for instance when you brits say pissed your drunk when we say it it's angry
really??@@
what are you saying, haz... you never use "as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs"???? ; )
good example, oodle!
I'm just joking tri
well I thought it was funny
it
No!
LOL trif - so slipping someone a mickey has a COMPLETELY different meaning!
is all good. I am so in love with whomever said "chocolate teapot" yesterday...HAVE to find a way to slip that in to convo soom
soon
yikes! LOL
Lol kje
what is chocolate teapot?
o.O
Oh as useful as a chocolate teapot is a normal one over here :-)
wow, that's a new one for me
uh unless it means drugs
well, I hadn't heard it before and I am loving it.
oh, like the teapot is made of chocolate... i get it
ok it IS a teapot made of chocolate
another funny thing in ireland is how, when they have had a really good time, they say they had really good "craic" which is pronounced like "crack" - that raises a few eyebrows 'mongst the yanks!
that is a good one... i will use it
i mean i will use the teapot... not i will use the crack
anyone else walking in a winter wonderland?
well we say take a crack at it... and that's on the positive side
already passed it along to my anglophile friends!
thank god no hi nut
We were talking about something being good craic long before the drug was discovered...
nope, eva--cold but no white stuff . . . sigh
i am sure, but it is a strange thing for a different ear to hear.
found a dirty word! - i have sixe inches of white stuff to share!
Of course, my mother made the MOTHER of all cultural gaffes with my m-i-l - hang on, I will write it out - you brit gals are gonna LOVE it@
we have no white stuff yet, and long may it last!
43 here now, but no snow...so close to katie's temp : )
um how can there be 17 h's I only have 4
*looking for dirty word*
26 here...i think we already had our high...guess i'll have to burn more wood.
how are you managing the house, nut?
shhhhhhhhh..... kje
hi nutty, 26 here also
hey, annie :-)
okay, first, you must picture the women involved - my mother is a lady, gentile and proper. Wouldn't say the s*** word if she was up to her elbows in it. My m-i-l is a lovely, totally proper Irish lady who has never seen herself naked. Okay. So over we go to Ireland for my son's birthday, and visits, etc. My m-i-l had been mugged, so she had warned us not to bring handbags, but secure purses with long straps, pocket wallets, etc.
how am i managing the house? what's to manage? i rule the roost baby! hi owlsy!
Is she a gentile or genteel or a genteel gentile?
hi annie poo
Oh I know where this is going!!!!!
haz! LOL
i don't, so shush katie
i mena the chores...i am eally realizing it's too much for me of late.
fanny pack?
So there we are, getting ready for an outing, and my mom launches in to this long discussion of how no one is going to get her money because she bought a FANNY pack! She just loves her FANNY pack! everyone shoud get a FANNY pack...she must said the word 30 times!
Just getting the scene set properly.
what is the ei 8?
i'm getting better owl, i'm working on honing my domestic organizational skills
LOL haz
ei8 - a number tacked onto a number.
a number sharon
you've hired a cleaner?
the outside stuff has killed me. of course you can't get anyone to come out to do ANYTHING
thanks, I should have looked a bit longer for that one.
keep in mind, my dear mom has NO idea what she is saying....so, my mil's head basically blows off, and my fil is running in little distressed circles, and I am torn between wanting to tell her to SHUT IT and just wanting to fall into the floor
now THAT'S organization, katie :)
would LOVE to katie!
tri, that's too too wonderful! LOL
lost on me...
ok now a translation?
i'm supposing fanny is a dirty word out that way
Fanny means ladies bits in the UK
hello my fellow babblers!
"fanny" is just about up there with the dreaded "c" word in America
nonoyesyes!!!
It's not something you'd talk about with genteel company, gentile or otherwise.
i love the c word...i say it just to ruffle feathers
OH, that is too funny for words, tri!
hi nono
hey nut!!
hi nono
i guess not
Hello all - also ladies bits in SA
hey, ursh!
nono is your sister yesyesyvette?
okay, can I just add, I have the TV on, and there is a story about Ashlee Simpson's baby, which she cleverly (ack) named Bronx Mowgli. MOWGLI????
it's even better that she had no idea but you all new
someone could make good money teaching words to avoid to yank tourists
annie - i am eating an everything bagel with creamn cheese, red onion, cucumber slices, capers, and lox with a squeeze of lemon... and I am blaming all the calories on you
that sounds disgusting kje
hey - we oculd write a book!
there are examples in every culture . . . in France we students learned quickly that to say you're "full" means "pregnant"!
TO - you mean things like 'We won the war for you guys'
it is amazing nut
kje, that sounds deeeeelish
kje, I am such a good influence on you.
the babble guide to avoid international verbal snafus
no we prefer"remember lend lease"
there are a few that don't translate here, too - my poor Brit friend kept telling everyone their homes were "homely" which doesn't mean cozy here, it means "ugly." she was SO scarlet!
you are evil annie
oooo so frustrating can find anywhere to put the tion
homely doesn't' mean ugly, i've always taken it for meaning plain, i'd rather be homely than ugly
I haven't yet ursh
;)
Fireworks!
i keep trying ursh, but have found no use for it yet either!\
well, either - would you like someone coming into your home and saying it was "homely?"
someone finally corrected my French ex at his hairstyling salon . . . when scheduling clients, he kept telling them he could squeeze them . . .
woohoo merk!!!
same here, eva
ursh, i keep wanting to type erection
yay, merk!
lol evan dream on
ooooo phantom erection!
of course you do nut
can't help it
is that the result of phantom viagra?
phantom erection - now THAT is a funny saying
haz are you still here?
makes me wonder...
on my husband's first day of work here in states, he asked supply for an extra large box of rubbers, "in case he made a mistake"
well i do keep wanting to use that "tion"
I check my rankings regularly just for the heck of it and it has been so weird this week. I have been at 1030 for a long time and have not missed a day. Suddenly it was 1029 for two mornings or so. Then it popped back up to 1030. Today it says 1029 again. Has anyone noticed discrepencies?
if an amputee has phantom feelings of having a leg, did that bobbit guy have phantom erections?
:-D
LOL nut - you are insane
LOL, nutty
merk, it's TOTALLY unpredictable!
TO - still here.
i was joking
Chinese call erasers rubbers, too. I had Chinese foreign exchange students from there and we had to have a talk about using the word erasers.
i don't pay attention merk
Oh, so you've had the same thing Uni?
Lend lease? I know!
we call those things you stick on your fingers for gription rubbers
OK, was briefly lurking and cannot take it anymore... I know a Dutch guy who went to teh States as an exchange student way back, went with that family to th ebeach, got back, and asked who wanted to douche first. Means shower in Dutch.
lol mg!
at work we dealt with some very demanding british officers and when we got frustrated with them we would say things like that to ourselves
he he he he....
gee nut you arrive and look where the chog goes...
shower in france too :-)

I hope to someday remember that word.
i LOVE this game
you should buy soap that matches when you're done! just for fun!
LMAO oh no Ive painted the bathroom red :)

you could do it anyway if you feel so inclined, harp :)

i dont undestand.
But you can't judge a colour in unnatural light.
but i kind of like my icon
go to friends of babbly fairy
i mean friends of babble
but actually a bathroom is usually unnatural light....
Babbly fairy sounds like Tinkerbell with no discretion.
It depends whether there's a window in the bathroom or not, though.
ge 6/24? the last ge 6/24?
after short for man
ge6/24 - ge plus the money paid to a landlord
ge6/24 - ge plus the money paid to a landlord

name that proper noun! a member of the larger islamic sect in iraq (but smaller overall globally)
Shiite?
ding ding ding!
wow.. a new one for me thank you haz
You're welcome, ruru.
I couldn't get it to accept shiite
that's... because it's a proper noun...
it won't take christian either
think I missed part of the conversations somewhere!
although, interestingly enough, i have just tried and found that it WOULD accept methodist, presbyterian, and baptist
hmmph -- missed the ei 8
Enable is obviously non-conformist.
not mormon though
so fascinating.
should take catholic
well of course
that's a given
two left and I cannot find them
what abotu episcopalian?
Let us help, ruru.
in 6/21?
it takes episcopal but not episcopalian
where did i leave the remote? it's in6!
"well of course" can never really be applied to enable
in6/21 - what the angry mother says to her child 'Get in6/21'
in + nearby generic location
but catholic = universal, there's a clear generic use
oh. ... damn I was sooo close.. thank you
still ...... lol
last one in 7 help please
in7 - in plus a striped cat, different vowel.
Hello, for the moment!
it's a number that is not a fraction
Hello Vi!

ty ruru
and hydra
got to run for a minute.. hungry dogs.. have been waiting for me to finish the grid...and are not happy with me right now...
Hydra, that clue rocked. I had the word already, but just the wording...cool stuff.
re7,36?
Thanks! You're welcome
that was my 11:00 clue hydra, for you
Sorry, hurshy, I missed it! Funny, I tried that but grid rejected it so I must have spelled it wrong. Thanks!
there
Yes, I did! It needed an extra vowel. :-)
*facepalm* damn clickiness.
* yawn * morning all
Hi!
Good morning...
*waves to all sleepyheads*
Hello all back for 37
Hey, it's Saturday! The day to sleep in!!! FINALLY! =)
so why aren't you in bed? :P
Pini our Saturday is almost done
I slept in...all the way to 8:00am - that's sleeping in for me! usually up at 6am
I know, ursh...we're the slow ones here on the US West Coast. ;)
sounds familiar, pini
hi beautiful peoples ... happy babbling...
Funny how as one gets "older" sleeping past 7am is really exciting - my eyes insist on opening around 5am nowadays
It's 0910 where I am, but since I work nights, I work up at 1800 yesterday to start my days...so while it's technically morning for the rest of the West Coast (US), it's getting towards the end of my night/day/*headexplodes*
could i get a clue for the eg5 non bird?
I need help finding a O word
And please ignore all of the typos/misused words there...tired much? *laughs*
been there, done that, unit...been awhile tho - where on west coast?
harp - to take food in is to in****. this is the opposite
Liddy...try the veg that makes you cry when you cut it! ;)
Oregon (California end, not Portland)
<-- in Oregon, too ;)
not Coos Bay?
and thanks - only two O words to go.
Oh, cool...whereabouts?
<--- in Oregon some of the year
O - veg that makes you cry - first number plural
eug / spr
Oh okay, a bit north of me, I'm in mfr.
hb ata!
*insert boo/hiss noises here*
thanks
Hey Ata rugby match good for us not for you - was a bit ouch
you're the 2nd closest to me, unit ;)
Ata, I'm assuming Coos Bay, then?
it was *funny*, ursh!
no, Astoria
funny - haha or funny peculiar?
funny haha
anyway, I always support the springboks in rugby, I was introduced in rugby in SA :)
se 6/24, please?
I think we should figure out how to have Babble-Gathers...even if only "regional" to start...
tsk tsk Ata - but they played well today - Scotland game was scary
Ah, okay. I've lived in Oregon for a few years, haven't seen much of it...I guess since I don't feel that I'm going to settle here, I haven't bothered...that, and I generally work too much to even think of getting away for a few days.
I second that,PINI!
unithorn can you tell fairys wing's sister one of your O words????
Unit...you need to get out more!!! Oregon is beautiful!
That would be neat. I work with a fellow who lives near Ashland, and they have a Scrabble club...cutthroat old men, mostly.
The oregon coast is wonderful if the weather is good
the only times I ever really go to big sporting occasions is with my SA side of the family, hence I've grown up supporting SA in cricket and rugby :)
oregon is *gorgeous*!
Some time ago before the oil price got out of hand we used to think about hiring Boeing 707's and do round trips to have "gatherings"
<-- former military brat...the PNW is my most favorite place to be in the US
se 6/24, please?
Liddy, I'm sorry, what was that? I have the one that was given to us, and also a plural of the first number, that's it.
Ah yes Ata I remember Castle beer and braai and rugby in Cape Town
Unit...been to Crater Lake yet???
yes :) gah. now I miss Castle lager
Can anyone clue me the j please? I have je4/9 already

I'm not military, but grew up in Alaska, spent a few of my high school years in Hawaii, lived in Cali for 3 months before I ran screaming (it was Torrance, to be fair...eek), and have been in Oregon for a few years now. Might move up to WA. I've been to many cities across the nation but have my reservations of actually leaving the West Coast permanently.
Sadly Castle is no longer the fashion - now Millers and Heineken and some italian beer - i forget the name
pleeeeeeeeese.... se 6/24, please?
se6 - spying
ty v m cyber
duh -- ty kje
i spy with my little eye a se6 ending in a gerund
Unit...leaving the west coast is fatalistic!
se**** is believing
Peroni thats the italian beer kids like to drink - God knows how they afford it
is or8 a common word?
but castle is sooooo nice
HEEEEEEEEEEEELP
no harp.... it is plural of ornis
I love a lot of different areas...like I loved Philly, but have no desire to live there. West Virgina is beautiful, but it would drive me mad. There's just something about the west coast that keeps you. Alaska especially.
or- starts like study of birds
* throwing lifering to Liddy *
Oops - sorry to break away, but the better half beckons. Good luck with the grid, all!
I had Brit stepfather and he would only drink Castle Lager - I always thought maybe in was close to English beer
back ..HI again everyone... hello kje!
I lived in Alaska, too (when I was little)...I consider it part of the PNW!
hi ruru... long time

ribs all better yet, ruru?
and has this taught you to stop hopping nets? (really, a man of your age, what WERE you thinking?)
miserable.. can't play tennis... fast walking is out of the question.. I can't get any exercise
Wish it was something heroic like that kje ...lol
ss
how many nets have you hopped lately?
still cannot imagine how one breaks multiple ribs in tennis, of all sports!
Well I AM special! lol
swung so hard you wrapped the racket around your middle a few times?
never tried, ruru... chicken out before I take off - LOL
Pinikula open your inbox right now!
I tend to do everything all out or not at all..
201 words AGAIN? It's the third time in a row
hmmmmm.... no comment
no mm it's all in my imagination :-D

four hi's -- all normal or common babblets
ty all
still nothing liddy :(
please clue he 6 24 please
he 6/24: beginning of descendant who gets it all + beginning of boat
ty cyber - good clue
eg5 - not the bird?
vg clue

cripes I don,t see beginning of boat....
and that should give you more words...
after 7 kje
eg+ superlative ending
eg 5: opp. of in 6 -- discharge from the body
eg5... not ei5
*or eg + french is
ty cyber
e + in**** eat
wow, I am so stupid! maybe it is because my stomach says I need food
thanks, didn't have the in either
maybe you should in 6 some phand -- lol
maybe I should...
Liddy...still nothing :( [resend?]
LOL cyber
I'm off to do some Christmas baking -- see you at the flip :)
gonna do that now, then go to UM to get my daughter and take her to a movie she needs to watch for a class of hers. Hope to come back tonight to finish the last 54
bye cyber
which movie pnah?
phan
"Wish you Were Here" I think
i still have 70 to go, and really do not see much
right behind you, kje...
...and the monkeys are slowing down, too
21 and stuck
my monkeys did not show up for work today... I suspect they are moping b/c i ran out of bananas yesterday
Afternoon, all!
I would love to get my last H word.
Maybe they're threatening a strike???
I need HE 6/24
I don't have monkeys. Monkeys know I dislike real-world monkeys and they run away :(
pini - they have gotten really ridiculous... more bananas, healthcare benefits, and better retirement packages... how can I afford it?
he + the famous eskimo Indian
how could any of us, kje!
Kje, fire them and hire non-union monkeys
Uh oh. I smell a banana scented bailout package coming.
or really old New Mexico jewelry is the he 6/24
LOL phan
darn, I don't know any eskimo indians...
LOL judi
have you guys watched Madagascar2 or something...
The monkeys do ask for ridiculous benefits
in the movie
cybernan clued at 11:37 (the he6/24)
he + not me but * + I don't give a ***t (crude)
if we all band together, we can outsmart them, but what can I do when some of you treat your monkeys so well???
darnit, I don't know the jewelry word either
haven't seen it, DR... not a fan of madagascra 1
perfect clue, RURU
*sits and watches the monkey negotiations*
I am not too but the chog is reading like the script
I think we should ban bananas!!!
ok, now I have the top 2 rows grayed and am gonna run now
happy babbling to everyone
tc phan
Perhaps we should downsize the monkeys and outsource to squirrels.
well, if that is the case, DR... I am sure their writers stole it from us!
bye Pahn
bye phan - enjoy!
*Phan
LOL Kje
I think we should consider investing in SQUIRTMONKS!
yes!!! let's hire squirrels instead!!!
maybe I have peacocks instead
*listening to the chattering that started in the monkey pen*
squirrels! yes!
or chipmunks
Hmmm. Sounds like a controversial hybrid animal. Greenpeace and PETA will be all over us.
I just squirreled a hi4
Squirtmonk = crossbreeding of squirrels and chipmunks!
yep!!! perfect!
hi
We'll just ban those, too, Judi!!!
hi puru
Hi Puru
PETA are idiots anyway
And we'll move all our operations to the Island of Dr. Moreau. Perfect.
that almost says rur stinks ... i love it - LOLOL
kje...was it the first hi4?
works for me, judi
1st on my list currently oini
pino...not oini
oini ?
pino ?
kje...need more sleep or another glass of wine? LOL
pinot gris?
Sounds like squirtmonk speak.
(while you're at it, clue the hi?)
More like Typonese Squirtmonk!
i need more sleep... and maybe a diet coke (which I am out of)
which hi needs clueing?
what is that %$#@#$!!! et6???
et + consonant + charged particle
1st ata
oh. babblet. hi + 2 consonants
TY ata... squirrels do not seem to be as good at this job as monkeys... may have to reconsider our move
hi + *e*ior prom
they need time to adjust
thx for that...
they seem to be spending more of their time looking for nuts than words.... and they keep finding them in the chog - LOL\
remember it, it's a stupid word and frequently in the grid!
ROFL !
not stupid if yer a hillbilly
*sends memo to CEO, suggests replacing nuts with sunflower and other seeds*
hi4 hers
will do ATA!
hey ppl, i saw a cuss word in this grid, is it used???
affirmative, puru
OK... off for a bit... later gators
ciao kje!
r u serious pinikula! that isnt right...
welcome to babble Puru
sad, but true...
why not? it's a word
Hello Fellow Babblers. Am I slow today or is this grid just a bit trickier than my brain can handle today? I've been here 15 minutes and it's really SLOW going!
What are you going to do, puru? Sh*t happens.
neener is not a word... yet weed uses it in our conversations all the time... i will correct her next time
yes, but i didnt think that they would use it, oh well...\
it is slow Neef..
Hi all! back in to finish (hopefully)
it isn't only a curse word puru
hi nef--its the curse of the "201"!
if its in the dictionary, it's allowed. like cunt. which we all hate
Nef, the monkeys are on strike and so have been replaced by Squirtmonks who are slightly distracted in their new assignment, but coming along nicely. ;)
Hi Pav
I've seen worse words in other grids.
Hi dr
well, my brain is finally starting to wake up (the body has been up for 3 hours); so I couldn't believe that I was this slow.
go nef go!
How is everyone else today? I suppose you are all going at this faster than I am (20 words in about 17 minutes I think)
I'm off until later. Have to go layer up for the football game this afternoon. Univ. Delaware vs. Villanova.
Looks like I need to get going myself...going to watch nieces play volleyball and then maybe a movie after that (want to see "Boy in the Striped Pajamas").
Happy Babbling all...don't forget to feed the squirtmonks!
byee!
Squirtmonks, huh? If it helps, I'll do it! ;)
Bye Pink and Judi
mix between squirrels and chipmunks :)
te6/24?
something you do playing golf?
was that for me nef?
yes, Harp (and I'm not a golfer; but to me that
that's what you do when you are ready to hit the ball)
ty Nef
guess puru REALLY wouldn't approve of some of the other routine words
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH I got it!
:-D
i have ignored the gerund because its so rare in this grid
Well, harp, I've found very few words that don't start with a "T" or a "G" today
that's cos most of today's words are Gs and Ts :P Gin and Tonic. what a good idea
LOL!, Atal! It's just noon here so a bit early for me. I feel like I might had and a few last night, however. It's clod here and I'm SLOW!
it's past 6pm he4 :D
Hi folks. Great, laptop's making a screaming noise. Hope hubby gets my new computer done SOON...
hints for the lower corner i's?
Have one for me then! Are you having much luck with the grid?
To take in by eating or drinking is one of them.
To put into an overall larger array is another.
thanks, monkey..i always have troubles with the vowel starters and assume they are unusual words!
sorry, Babs, I can't help. But thanks for the hint, Monkey
What about the left lower corner O? I only have 1, multiple singles.
me too, monkey.
I sure do keep wanting to enter onager though...
crying vegetable
Oooh, thanks and duh!
oh, just found one as preposition...on 4
And on that no4 the laptop has suddenly stopped screaming...
For that lower O, if you are on** something
Was sure I had that from another O already, but no! Thank you!
Must be confusing it with the in4.
or8/45 is there too
Aha... Compound word?
nope
No, got it!!!
start with bird lover prefix and ends in plural letter
Thank you!
not seeing it as fast you o**** eagle eyes!
I tied it into an obscure clue from more than 8 hours ago about there being a plural Babbler with an extra letter in the grid... Thought I was supposed to be looking at the inge part there, but no!
clue for in7, please?
so, monkey would you be willing to give a clue that is less obscure?
What about the e next to it? I only ahve the electrical units.
in7 - not a fraction
in7 is a natural number.
thanks... can't believe that gave me such a hard time
Esprit's was good... OK, start with ******ology", the study of birds. Then make it plural with a vowel in there.
I've been staring for it for a whole day, mamabook.
thanks monkey for saving us hours!
No problem!
Thank whoever it was-- I think Sprite-- who dropepd teh obscure comment about the Babbler. Could've been Lynxxx...
Think it was Sprite though.
Laptop's vocalizing again. This thing is WAY old. But my new computer will be ready soon... and a ship is coming from Earth... and pigs will fly...
monkey, why is the laptop so noisy?
how nice? to have a laptop provide music...lol
That'd be scary, wouldn't it? The swans are bad enough. A practicing juvenile nearly went right through the window a few weeks ago.
IO think the fan is finally shot.
bummer
so the vocalizing isn't a good sound.
Well, I got it free years and YEARS ago, but it still has to hang on long enough to get all my school work onto th eother one or I'm doomed.
Ohhhhh nooooo it is not.
67 left and befuddled...
time to use the list(S) i guess...
hello all
My "real" computer died way back, motherboard burst into flames. Had no money for a new one. Now we have the new motherboard and my husband needs to find time to put it back together.
fans can be replaced. I just ordered 2 refrub laptops for Christmas this AM to finish most of my chirtmas shopping
Hi Jasmine!
I LOVE shopping online!
where do you buy yours nef?
Hello everyone!
Better than me, Pav... I still have 69 and went to list 10 words ago. And baffled.
Can't find one single ir, for example.
go to geeks.com
Hi Nonnie!
bought from them before?
OK, will do that in the morning.
hiya monkey :o)
is it my imagination or has the grid been 201 three days in row?
I think is has, jasmine
how about uncreasing your clothes, monkey
Think so, Jasmine...
I have in6/24 from lower right, what is clue for the other I pls?
I've bough quite a few things there before Babs. Including a few refurbs (including 2 computers in the past) and have always benn happy with what I get
OH!!!!! Thanks and whack me with a scrod.
what's the probability of that?
Something that is a part of a greater whole, like picture-in-picture television, Esprit.
what brands have you bought...how much for the ones you ordered today...we've bought some locally, but of late have been using a mac personally
ah ty MG
esprit, the in5/10 is from there too
that was the one monkey clued thanks
Babs, I've bought an iMac from there for $100 for hubby's 83 y/o Aunt who plays games and gets email on it; I just bought 2 HP laptops there (on sale ) and I've bought an eMac for another elderly relative. All were under $300
OK, entertainment time. Jack Dee Live at the Apollo. Will probably lurk off and on. Have fun, folks!
bye monkey!
wow, nef..thanks for the scoop on geeks!
bye monkey
83 yo Mac lovin' aunt... I love it!
She's a hooot; but is afraid of the "INTERNET"
and she doesn't know that email is part of the n'net
Sorry for the stuttering; the cat is helping me on the keyboard today

but adorable, just been to the beach?
Atalante, Hobbit has a place in our hearts too and Yes, he does look smart (lol) as Stewart...I hope I did not start something I did not mean.
yep :D well, a river actually, but same effect!
lol spaniels never look smart. cute, adorable, lovable, but not usually smart!
lol I didn't take it that way, annie :D Stew *does* look smart!
Ata, Hobbit also looks determined in the photograph
yes. we were making cheese toasted sandwiches ... she was very determined!
lol
:)
could anyone give clues for that N in the right column? I can't find anything to do with it
horse sounds
not daytime, not daytime minus the last letter
not daytime
those two give you 5 in total
ni7 the most of ni4
actually, they give 7
Thanks! Now I feel stupid! :D
5 ni + the 2 ne :) I think.
yes
don't! they were horrid!
oh goodie,,,I finished!
Yay for Pav!!
wtg PAV
congrats, PAV!
hey Lynxx, annie and momma! how are y'all
THANK You! That letter was a big "0" for me just 5 minutes ago and now it's black! :-D
WTG, pav!
good, PAV and you?
All good here, lots of rain but a bit too windy
Hi Nef, hows the counting going over th5?
Hi for a couple of minutes! Jack Dee's over (Rich Hall was on) and now my husband's gone up for a smoke and then we'll watch The Hudsucker Proxy.
hi Monkey
Slow, PAV; but faster than they thought it would go.
I've been a bit ti4d of late, with Joey keeping me up at all hours of the ni5 with his ear infection...but we're recuperating nicely now...
hello all
have ei8, what do the other 8's start with please
Hi Peri!
hi peri!
Ooh, I know that one! Ear infections are NOT fun. For anyone.
hi Peri
Hi Peri!
gr and or
gr8, or8
thanks Annie
Hi peri
got the gr8, it has been in a grid before
peri, the ot*** 8's are or and gr
but not seeing the or8
I dont have that or8 either
It's like a plural of a Babbler I haven't seen in a while...
or starts like the bird studiers and ends in a plural
I have been trying that beginning but it is not working
I miss her
I had the 3rd and 4th letters backwards, peri...
I spent like 8 hours off and on looking for it.
but it does work with a vowel near the end
got the or8 thanks
Where has she been? Did I miss news or has she just been busy or have I just not been on at the right times?
or+tiny bug+male possessive, only chnge the last vowEl...
no idea :(
hi, Ata, how is your sister doing?
Dang. Well, let me know if you see her! Anyway, Hudsucker Proxy time. Have fun everyone!
does anyone need help, before I go do dishes?
help with N in right column please
finally got the or8, thanks, PAV and MG
bye MonkeyG
horse sounds, opp of day
she's ok :) life carries on as normal ...
thanks bubba
ok, Ata just checking
ne x 2 ni x 5
ni 4/7 and three more from that word
start with "hi4 and low" and go farther up, now change the first letter and still further up to the hi7 point, and change the first letter...
mornin' folks
hi Jes
hi jes
hello jes
taking a break...bbs
hi jes.
hi Jes!
I think I'll eat something while the kids are napping...oatmeal I guess, cuz I don't have much else...

oatmeal sounds good today --it's WARM! :)
bye peri
bbl perhaps before the flip...
44 left, time to get the list coz I'm fooling mself I'll find anything else without it
ahah! had to reload to find all you lovely folks in the chat
how goes?
fine and you?
not bad. had chocolate cake for breakfast :)
jes, that is fun...down with cereal and all fruits and veggies
thats right!
:)
I finally opened Lickety's list. I'm afraid I have a lot of work left to do on this grid.
and gonna go christmas shopping with my ma and bf this afternoon. we're planning a sneak-redecoration of the kid's room :)
the RE"s scared me
jes, that is lovely...have fun
THe T's go on forever
i havent gotten to doing anything organized like listing.
be back later
bye Annie
hi beautiful babblers... happy babbling... hi lyn
hi Oodles
how far along are you
hi oodle. I've been here slightly over 2 hours and am *just* over half way. :(
hello
whizzing along now, just got list out - 20 to go. Before that I was struggling
i just put PEPPER on top of my ginger snaps and they are really good!
hi Harp
(all together now---thanks for sharing that jane!)
did you do that on purpose or by accident?
Just tjinking what you would drink with those Harp - sounds good for the cold weather
makes them more spicier harp... yum I love ginger
i did it on purpose, trying to spice up some cookie dough i bought from a neighbor kid
I put chilies in my brownies and chocolate in my chili, but have never heard of pepper on cookies!
kewel I will remember that the next time I make them
I've been eating chocolate chili bean soup today
i have a polish cookbook that uses pepper in cookies
well it's on the same order nef... only this is black pepper and you want to give more flavor to the ginger
you put in sweet chocolater semi sweet or bitter?
I may try it sometime then. I would think a bit of fresh ginger would also help
dark chocolate
ok ty then it is sweetened a little
oodles, I use whatever I grab from the cupboard. Even hot cocoa mix will do. It gives a much richer flavor to chili (I add about 1-2 tbsp)
harp, how much pepper did you use?
i just dipped the tops in sugar, then pepper
I did some in cloves too but the pepper is better
en6?
i'm sure its a fish
okay. how does it look? Would white pepper look better I wonder?
it's barely noticeable. at least i didn't say anything to my taster and he didn't say anything
sorry, I don't have that one yet
but then again he can walk over dirty laundry for weeks without seeing it....
pepper is used to make lebkuchen etc too - gingerbread biscuits
cardamon was pretty good too
LOL! So he might be a bit blind?
hee heeh harp
selective blindness
en6 is all of it
thanks lynxxx
ok some one mentioned earlier about two kinds of veggies in the grid... I only see one on5
well I suppose gr6.24 counts...and you can put a letter in fronbt of the on5 although it is not a vege
thanks
ty lynn
never fails always at 50% of the words I go to the list
If you stand on your head for this list you will see a lot more, I missed heaps of easy ones. Can I help with any clues before I go?
lol lynxxx i need the in 7 please?
are there any silly silly words from the right hand R?
lynxxx, I can't stand on my head; and I can't find many "H' words
um ...he6 21 both
he4,5+opp of out and he4,5 opp on off
in7 is a maths thing ...in & a big striped cat but change the first vowel in that
ad an article and a preposition
Thank you
vg clue thx lynxxx
Movie stopped for husband's smoke break. One way silly word from right R.
right hand R - ri5.12 sounds indian
grrrr I knew it!
tyty
after you get that ri5.12 you can use it for a he6.24 word
Gotta go again; have fun!
he6 21 both
oh now I get it
sorry lyn
he6.21 both compound words used in legal type documents - same as the th7.32s\
hello all
Ata, the chocolate chili bean soups sounds good, do you have the recipe?
wb Peri
still 94 to find
ty ty lynn that gave me four words
no, it was from a local farm shop, I'm trying to find their recipe, because it really is very very good. If I work it out, I'll tell you!
Oodle - you will probably get in6.21 then, same sort of thing
thanks Ata. I love chili and I love chocolate espec. dark chocolate
hi all, icon theme updated for tomorrow and the next of the week. Will be back on Saturday next! Love and hugs, and try to behave while I am gone.
I can probably work it out just about from the ingredients on the label. I'll give it a go tomorrow
k
where are you going, sprite?
ok, let me know, Ata
*and the rest of next week
Have a wonderful time Sprite!
ty
Ameland, peri

thanks for sn7
te7 te & cons & the end of the crying vege

You will get used to it, just takes time as all things do...I went from full house to empty nest to about to be full house again...

we just returned from the t-day parade i do not think i will ever defrost!
she wants to see this game - I have been talking it up!
firebirds! listless!
must be quiet without the kids
yay
was it downtown?
yup right thru town and then along the waterfront
congratz ata
ok that's it i quit bbye
dammit. I thought I knew what "firebirds" meant (thinking of the ballet) but it won't take it....grrrrr
hi babblers - long time no see
firebirds -- firewords -- fireworks LOL
okay, how lame am I? let's all play spot the noob!
where did robert move to?
humarock.
i am looking at her
I hope it's REALLY cold there....
her who?
i am sure he is freezing his you know what's off!
lol sorry, it's just my own unique version of fireworks
I got a notice in the mail today saying his change of address order has started. So....there goes me paying the bills. Control freak.
its ok ata tri is too smart for her own good. let her look for imaginary words hehehehe
how are the kiddos?
i think it runs in the family, myself, knit wit.
*smirk*
knit -- don't dis the kniw
knit
not sure why I started this grid - I'll never finish!
primo is furious, secondo won't speak of it to anyone, even her best friends, and tertiare is so confused she doesn't know whether to scratch her watch or wind her ass
poor things i am sure this is difficult. good thing they have you
can you say ass in here?
ass ass ass ass ass, no you can not say ass
tri - are those your kids you are referring to? lol
easily
yes
what time is the big cheese coming?
any mo now
one can say arse though
how old are they?
but lol - since when is she big cheese? She barely would qualify for "cheez-it"
fireworks here
Asgreen - 15, 12, 9
i will NEVER repeat that!
well done wv!
aknitter how was the parade too cold for me out there today
speed you should have joined us. it was actually enjoyable just soooo cold
hello bable landia, nicer and warm here, actually had to look for shade to sit in
did rae march with her troop?
oh someone slap onyx -- warm?
where do you watch it from?
Rae marched with the HS band. I think her lips are frozen
speed i tag along with the band as a roadie!
oh, yowch. At least she had a uniform on, that's warm, right?
wow so you march the whole thing....better I guess than standing still on the waterfront
sorry, my phone rang
NOTHING was warm today and keeping moving was the only way to stay warm
my parental units watched for the warmth of the old colony club
it's freezing here too! my son (9) had to go to an outdoor bday party!!
Was it as big as years past...I usually catch it on cable after the fact....about 5 years ago we marched with the sea cadets
it was long but fast moving i think every one was so cold they just wanted to get to the end.
ASG where are U?
I'm in NJ
there was a marching band from NJ, yellow something
Its too early to be this cold or maybe this means we'll have a mild winter (hope)
i would love a little global warming right about now
cheese has arrived - warming up cider to mix with some sort of liquor....yay.
hello cheese!
we are now drinking cider with captain jack's in it. Personally I have never had this beverage, but she swears by it
sounds yummy
cheese wants to know what instrument rae plays
clarinet

I'm ok thanks
Is the or8 something birdy?
yes, rather
it ends with a plural in the form of a plural for the male organ
Got it ..
only, of course, it's not that sort of plural since the i version won't go
and it's not the english sort of plural, so i don't know WHAT it is
9 left and they are all RE's doh!
aha, it says the singular is ornis
would you say i am a Whimsical person?
I don't think so!
Yes ..
LOL
So the plural of penis should be penithes? ..
in fact, tor, would you say i am perhaps Chock Full of Whimsy?
no, cause there are just different kinds of plurals. exceptions and whatnot.
excuse me..... :o)
When you're writing songs to your cats, you're downright moony ..
Been through LIckety 3 times and can not find ni4,4
any help would be very appreciative
Misspell the word before it ..
ni4/4 not day
i'm just trying to figure out Where i got it, because my mom has NO whimsy and my dad, while he has a nice dry sense of humor and enjoys puns, might not really be whimsical
Thanks U. I have that one and it comes up as 4,7
no, they don't mean take off the t
ni4/7 is 4/5 of not day
they mean like when foods are described as l***, because they are lo-cal
oohhh, it's a short slangy version of not day
Drop a letter from the word after it ..
thank you!
nile
it's very Disheartening because when i am Silly around my mom she just ignores me.
what 's with the caps, hursh?
**F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S**
woohoo, lindrick!!
She just doesn't understand the concept ..
i dunno, they used to cap things randomly in colonial times, and sometimes it's fun to do
oh, ok . . .LOL
thanks Une!
but how did someone with no sense of the concept produce children who are chock full of it???
thought maybe it was "cap your adjectives" evening!

is it a winter wonderland at your place?
very good. just got the last kid in bed, and am now relaxing
it's weird you ask that. we have a couple of inches here at our house, but when i went "into town" earlier, it had all melted. 20 minutes away.
well, i guess it's not weird that you asked, but weird how the snow is here
yep, when it snows here it's like that too--more snow and more ice in outlying areas
plus we're on a hilltop, which i guess makes enough of a difference.

hi pam! welcome to nut's nuthouse!
Haven't there been a lot of grids with 201 words lately, or is it me?
ooooh not barf! i don't do barf
great minds, BDG!
yep gwen, and hi!
hi, feather!
hmmmm, hi there pam 8-)
hi pam & BDG
Hi, gwen!
i keep reloading the page, but still 201! LOL
so what's everyone reading these days?
twilight series!!!!!
nocturne and i were just discussing it on AIM
oh, i want to read that!
i'm reading 130-year-old biography of a dead guy 8-)
hi everyone
i just finished the sleeping doll, jeffery deaver
hi pheebers
I just got back from the Twilight movie Even
The Hour I first believed, by wally Lamb. Finished Tiried by war, and finding jefferson, and the last campaign
which dead guy gwen?
Hi, bethn
you mean John McCain Gwen?
Hi, pheebers and bethn
ruru!
LOLOL, ruru
the Rev. Elbridge Gerry Brooks
itene
I knew he was up there.. but not that old!
What's nocturne?
ar ar, ruru. no, i would not read a biography of him for $300. for $500 i'll consider it, though
oops sorry -- at least that's not a word :)
night mover pam
nocturne's a new babbler, she's coming to say hi
Hi all!
Wasted Vigil about fiction about post 9/111 Afghanistan
Hi, nocturne, now I get it... discussing the twilight series....
Nocturne forgets to say hi, sometimes....*blushes*
we went to highschool together, and were in colorguard/winterguard together. recently found each other again over facebook. i'm in NY, she's in Maine.
Sounds interesting, bethn
**light bulb***
hi Nocture!
I LOVED three cups of tea....
Have not read the series. Trying to decide....
my light bulbs are dim tonight, ruru
(i told her this was a great group to talk books with!)
*** installs dimmer switch ***
ver good - kind of a window on their society
sorry, i disappeared
very
thanks, beth!
anyway, loved the twilight series
gotta get that next. twilight that is.
i want to be bella!
I've been kind of scared off by the seemingly rabid fans on facebook. heh....
LOL, nocturne!
i bet a lot of them are teens?
I imagine....
nocturne, i'm listening to a book called nocturnal right now.
I usually like that genre, my daughter told me I would not like that series as i am too militantly feminist. Does it not have strong women?
Ooh! Whazzat?
i thought nocturne was that fake novel by stephen colbert . . .
i think the women are very strong
I assure you , Gwen, I'm totally not a fake. ;)
its a book by scott sigler, sci fi, you can find it on podiobooks, or scottsigler.com
in6/24 please?
I haven't read it, she wouldn't lend me hers , said she didnt want to give me opportunity to rant
lol, farthest from fake of anyone i know. a very genuine person.
to eat something weed
LOLOL! Beth, sounds like you and I are a lot alike....
ty ruru, i was working on that one too
well, speaking of "popular" books and ranting, i totally hated the "series of unfortunate events" series
she might think you won't like it because of bella's supposed incompetency, but that all gets fixed in the last book.
oh, ty ru. i had to get a clue for the "e" version of that too.
and franky, i hated the second book...i wanted to smack her around myself
I kind of go off when confronted with the poor little me syndrome
that's why i hated the second book
She might not have finished them all yet... I will ask her if she has changed her mind
Belate thanks Feather. :D
are they quick reads though? so you can plow right through and get on with the third book?
Didn't read persnicket
well...i dunno...i mean...do you read something quick thatr annoys you?
depends. if i liked the first book enough, and see that it's going to go somewhere, yeah. but with the series of unfortunate events, nope. read the first, barely started the second and said enough.
I read stuff that annoys me. Case in point, the last three books of the Gunslinger series....
ohhhh, yeah, they annoyed me too, but i HAD to read them!
couldn't stomach a series of unfortunate events
Did the same as you on the Snicket books, Feather. Couldn't stand it.
that whole series annoyed me, i think because it was SO long and drawn out.
yet i was compelled to keep reading
It was like reading someone who wanted to write out the Gashley Crumb Tinies, but failed.
I always find it interesting when i HATE a book most everyone else likes
what is that?
Gunslinger? Hmmmm, never heard of it
i haven't had that happen yet
hi all!
what is gunslinger?
hi nrkii!
LOL.,beth
gunslinger, the series by stephen king
Hi, nrkii
Hmmm....Gunslinger is Stephen Kin's epic
201 words again tonight... is that 3 in a row?
Gunslinger... isn't that the DIck CHeney Autobiography?
oooh, the gashlycrumb tinies! vey fun book, that!
yep, deja vu
I'm a huge Stephen King fan but never started the gunslinger series
hi nrkii
I was coerced into reading the Bridges of Madson County by my then co-worrkers... EGADS, I HATED THAT
what is thatbook, bdg?
nrkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!
LOL, rruru
no, ruru, the stephen king gunslinger stuff
welcome to the eternal 201 grid. the letters change but the number stays the same . . .
thanks for the enthusiasm Nut... :)
My friend gave me The Shack . It made me cringe, she LOVED it
my very very favorite short story of king's is "survivor type"
bbl got to walk the doggies..good luck everyone..
gashleycrumb tinies. book written and illustrated by edward gorey. adorble little orphans. in each couplet, two orphans die horrible deaths. there is one orphan for each letter of the alphabet.
i'm here for ya nrkii!
cya ruru
ciao, ruru
see you ruru
i love gorey
Thanks, BDG
ohhhh, yes! i know what it is now gwen, thanks
example: E is for Edward, who died of Ennui
The Shack, beth?
can't wait till tim burton makes it into a movie LOL
hi..even the jokes remain the same....groundhog day in babblelonia
Aaand...Gwen is way faster than me.
zip, zam, pow

e + g***ation is the period when a creature is pregnant
oh? what a shame! surely SOME fan somewhere must have copies
eg5 = e + Beau G***e
ooh poor nut.
ooh poor nut.
ty, nrk
I attended a con (in Detroit - or maybe it was Southfield) that was a DW/Star Trek con
tyger, not from the 1960s they don't. no home video yet!
like in6 , eg4 sounds enthusiastic
poor me what?
ooops, you're right
i attended all the detroit cons. they were pretty dismal
well, back to work. BBL

en6, clues?
bye tyger
dale, en6 = the whole thing
ty, nrk--fish me on that one
enchilade?
en5, go in
I think i must be more an eye for an eye , shoot the bas****s kind of a girl. in this book the man's daughter had been raped and killed by a pedophile
ack, please ignore that!
no problem dale, for this evening, we are serving a salmon with dill sauce...
no food talk please :( I am on the worst diet in the world, unfortunately it is the only one i have tried that has worked for me
unless you want to talk liver, i dont think hearing about liver would make me salivate
gah. in7 please?
a woman I work with just bought a month's worth of some "cookie diet" and the cookies are horrible... she has to eat one an hour
in7 is a number
weird nrkii
another name for a number
i've heard of that
specific kind of number
ty for that!
not a number like two, a name for a number
phew, i's are done now
I'm going to try to convince her to do my diet
i heard of the cookie diet, it didnt work with oreos :(
57 left
go go feather
doesn't work with pepperidge farm gingermen either
try only biting off thier heads and feet. that cuts down on calories
interest!! is not in the grid
eww, beth! LOL
i guess i have anger issues?
like the ones in the glade commercial?
exactly
no, beth, but if you scratched their eyes out and shouted why are you staring at me! i might be worried.
lmao gwen!
i never make cookies with faces, i am a cookie vegan
(to be fair, i must credit that punchline to emo philips)
hee, still good
his setup was different, but same joke really
a good line is a thing of beauty
someone needs to market a boxful of cookies shaped like the gashlycrumb tinies
it would be a tray-shaped box, with a dent for each cookie, and the name of the cookie embossed right there. then everyone would have thier favorite cookie. heh heh

how closely does the ni7/40 follow the 6? other than the first 4 letters.
this is a very american chog tonight all our non-yank babblers must be sleeping?
hey, yeah, where's jac?
it is superlative feather
mrp was here earlier
ahhh! ty
how is their new home?
she said she was going to upload pics to flicker
or flickr
whatever.
did anyone see the earlier chog regarding the brit usage of fanny? it was hysterical
nope, missed that one! darn.
I worked for a company a few years ago where our American CEO used the word fanny in a meeting with the entire UK office
clue the ni7, pls--don't have the 6 either
i did. it ws!
It did not go over well....
hello all -- how is the grid
dale, closer and closest
hi stid!
hey
not as bad as yest, stid
oh oh... my great-grandmother was fanny!
i like to learn something new everyday, evidently fanny refers to your female bits in a similar manner as c4
hi stid! i'm not minding it!
nite
NO! really??? rofl
as long as she wasn't British, that's okay Stid
hi stid!
okay, will do half again
the i's gave me trouble, but other than that ok
it's not a terrible one stid
oohhhhh!
the CEO told people to stand up and stretch so they could rest their fannies
oh dear!
ty again, nrk
and someone's mother from the USA went on and on about her fannypack to her daughters MIL to the enormous dismay of everyone
isn't your fanny already at rest when you are seated?
if you work with any brits or irishmen, that could be interesting
but if you're seated too long, your butt gets sore
yes, true
especially in a company meeting, when the CEO is boring you
that's when I whip out my ipod
then your whole body goes numb
and, consequently, why I don't work
ceo's generall frown on earbuds during their speeches - no sense of humor
on a different note, bruce campbell was just here, in toledo, in person the other night flogging his new movie
my first time on this puzzle; how do these tile stats work? Apparently you are figuring out the first two letters of some words, but I'm befuddled. THanks
he's really funny
MaryK, welcome!
hi mary! i'll explain, 1 sec
Thanks
maryk, try lickety on the bottom of the tile stats, it is hyperlinked
We are using "Lickety's List" which you can link to below the grid
tile stats under the grid show you how many words come from that letter. we know the first two letters because we're using a clue list that nrkii just pionted out.
the tile stats tell you how many words start from each particular letter. If you go to friends of babble and click angelsongs babble page ther is alot of help
when we say re4/6, that means it starts with re, is 4 letters long, and 6 points
welcome! if you need help just ask
5 letter words double the point total on the tiles. 6 letter words triple. etc.
also, dale figured this out, and I didn't more fool me, that all are alphabetized, and are in that order in lickety, so you can use that and the first two letters to give you an idea which direction to go in
I need help...desperately... but it is with my mother in law..
does that count
does that count ?
22 to go - back to finish this off
fireworks!

bye TO!

one more question, said Columbo -- the tile stat with j equal to 0/2, does that mean j is in two answers but does not start a word?
I'm making stock for chicken soup
I had that exactly 1 year ago this wednesday
I'm a little freaked out because I ran into a woman last night who had it done, and she told me AWFUL things about it
no, j starts two words]
OK... stop distracting me!!!!
great, nrkii! I am glad this is coming together for you...
that means that there are two words that begin with j mary
that means, mary, that the J begins TWO words
feather, are you feeling all better?
bethn, please don't tell me you slept in a recliner for 6 months afterwards
snap stid...
down to 38
And the zero means I've figured out none?
you got it mary, lol
yep, that's what it means, mary!
yes
It is not an easy recovery, but it is not awful just long and a lot of work
and there are 201 words in this grid to find
te7?
what the he4 is that last "th" word just clued? what does it mean??????????
ugh...good luck with your surgery, nrk. Just recovered from a carpal/ulnar nerve thing....:P YOu have my sympathy.

If no one has told you go buy XXXL shirts, your arm will be strapped to your chest and regular shirts will not fit over it and it is too hard to pull them over your head
yeah, there were like two grids in a row with dil... sex toy words and everyone was commenting
oh that is old stuff dale... move on ...lol
oh, my instructions say I can use the strap over my clothes
hehe
1st se5?
everyone comments on sex toys in the grid...
the strap for what?
I bought button-up and zip-up shirts today so I could get them on without moving my arm
there are sex toys in the grid?
kje, better be careful talking about me. i have a snitch that informed me about your comment, while i was distracted with the grid!
there is a strap called an "immobilizer" that keeps your shoulder and upper arm from moving
not this grid
se(a piece on an orange) + good **ght Irene
who is the snitch???
hee. not gonna tell.
ty again ru... (hate that I will owe you for this : )

evening all.....back from the flicks, drinking a hot cider with the Captain, tucked up in me jammies and hoping to finish this beast of a grid. How's it going?

gfy, feather
yay feather!!!
yay feather!
fast once i stop talking long enough!
captain, my captain
hey trifi, love the captain
Hello KJE!
gotta run! night all!
did your report cards also say "weed talks to much in class"?
but with cider????
mine did - LOL
bye nrk
no, but i do recall "daydreaming" being mentioned
Actually, just met the Captain tonight - my sister brought it over for me. It's nice with the hot cider....apple cider, not the british kind....
bye nrk, good luck with games with mom!
just don't mix it with milk
yes... mine too weed... and looks out the window too much... sigh... those mean elementary teachers did not understand me - LOL
ok, I am going--babblers, rejoice in babbling
Hmm...I was a daydreamer too.
OK... I'm off for a bit... will try to come back for flip, if I'm awake... and maybe if I'm not : )
bye kje
i'm off to facebook, see you there probably kje
Mainly in...3rd and 4th grade
nocturne...if it helps, i grew up to be a doc with 2 postgraduate degrees... so don't hold it against the daydreamer!
lol I just collect school now.
collect school?
oh... sorry... i read you have a daydreamer too... not that you were one too... i thought you were worried about your kid - LOL
OVer 200 undergrad credits, no degree
ahhhhh, gotcha!
I have a talker, kje. lol He can't stay quiet
all of us daydreamers.....
i was a talker too... drove my paents crazy... all those notes from the teacher!
WE could organize, kind of a daydreamers union...But we probably wouldn't get much done...lol
LOLOL - nope, probably not pam... we would be useless
lol, kje!!!!!!!!!! I talked in all but math, because I am a numbers idiot
Talker here, less of a day dreamer....
well... at least you learned the basics pam!
My talker gets in trouble nearly every day. But, he earns his points back, usually, too.
I hated math until i was in the 11th grade
I tried, kje.... I LOVED geometry...
COuldn't understand math until I got to trig. Then the lightbulb came on.
i love math
took calculus as an elective in college
I had a great teacher in 11th grade, mrs. walden... and then, I got it... all my years of math finally fell into place
I didn't take trig. Didn't even want to try... took all the way through physics to meet the math/science high school requirements....
took NO math in college....
i loved calculus in college... essentially just great puzzles to solve, weed
exactly!
sounds like mrs walden was great, kje
i did not love physics though, for some reason.
I didn't take physics
loved physics... but i was a science major, sooooo
chemistry was my fave science course but I liked physics a lot
hated physics and did not really like Chemistry either.
i majored in chem
but I was very good in Cell Biology etc.
me too, semi. elementary education with a concentration in science. LOVED biochem.
didn't set out to, but loved it once i got into it
I was not much for the hard sciences. I like psych stuff, but mostly I was music. That's what most of my credits are in.

bon soir, Une! hey all!
bonsoir, stid!
WAS???? again???? *thinking it's best to not be ruru's pet*
*knocks on screen* hello? did I scare you-all away?
no . . . trying to find last word . . . sh5 before the blouse . . .
hm. I don't have that one yet
driving me nuts . . .
try: s + h4 sounds like a word for "clue"
anyone? ruru?
i have that one, thanks
a piece of paper or something you sleep on
you have the first sh 5/12? the glossiness of something?
hello hurhsy!!!
hurshy...
between the sh****s?
thanks, hursh . . . I thought I tried that! Fireworks!
YAY Une!!!!!
oohhh, now I see it -- it's up north!Was looking at the wrong one!
nite, all! *poof*
i love it when i can push someone over the edge with so little effort.
ee-eye 8 please? *grin* I have all the other 8s in the section...
sweet dreams Une
if we ever had an ei8 letter word, the tile stats would be insufficient
ei8/55
sorry hurshy, it's too late in the day for clever help... something a very tired woman can handle please?
it is a number.
yes, it HAS to be a number....
it is
oh lord... *sigh* yes, I see it now.
*beating head with fish*
Es erased. finally.
it's an in7, in fact.
looking for the i second row, second column, any hints?
in scotland, they might say, "ane or the it5"
great clue, hurshy
apparently the scots aren't too fond of the letter o
do you retract your clever help comment, btw, stid? cause i hadn't thought of that clue as particularly clever... ;)
how about teh GE 5 after the DNA piece?
aladdin only had one
aha. thanks!
GE 6 please?
but no more clues until i get my retraction! i have been accused of a cleverness i did not commit, and i won't stand for it!
ge + monthly apt payment
scab.
oh gosh. thanks for teh babblet
hurshy, perhaps for someone with an intellect as marvelous as yours it was not too clever. You'll have to do better next time.
yw
i am still lost with the scotland and i word. am i mssing something very obvious
got the number eight letter word, but what about others? would love clues. please.
do you have hi6, the come hi6 look? knock off the h
put a 1 in front of the ei for an 8...
"... come hi**** "
or8 is a bird word that ends like plural male organ
hahaha, i finally got it. thank you
if colors were numbers, gr8 would be a fraction or a place-you-come-in
huh stid? not sure i follow. which ei word? the 5 or 6?
I believe the GR 7/8 are the silliest wurds today
the first ei word mkg!
it ends like the age of my children...
i meantersay, the gr7 would be, and then the 8 is pl.
stid is referring to the one you already have, mkg
the ei8
i dont get the gr clue.............color i have the gr color. but then what??????????????
i have one ei 8 word. are there two?
she is tired, and did not read your post with full understanding.
the color gr is in 5 words...
variations of the EI you have, mkg
no, there are not two.
got the gr 8. what a word..............
now i get the cules.
no, just one ei 8... sorry mkrg
btw: hi alll
ok so what other eight is there. i have the ei and the gr. what is third please?
mkg, I mean. yes, tired. or tarred as my virginia childhood friends would have said
OR 8
i said or8, clue at 11:14
i dont have any ion words. are there any?
ty hurshy. will check.
HE 6 the first please?
no there are not ion words
gr8
there are two ion words
he + claudia k****, babysitter's club
hello again ruru...
he + to be + short welcome greeting
hi stiddy
oh yes, there are ... well there are three i guess
thanks for the HE 6
hurshy not sure i get it. i imagine the first four letter are the bird word, then second four like plural of male organ? hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
i was thinking about how there are no -tion words
three yes
Hs hacked
no, it's more like 6-2
for the OR i mean
plural of the male organ.. isn't one enough?
not unless you all want to share
male organ, meaning pe or sc? dont see p or c in grid.
pe. it ends like the plural of that ends.
if there is a male organ word in the grid I don't remember it
huuuummmmmmmmmm plural of that? never heard it.
and it doesn't start like a particular baltimore bird, if that's what you're thinking. it's just a general bird word.
IN 6/21 please? and the IN 7 too if you don't mind. down to 49 and slowing fast
would need two "s" and grid has only one.
oh I get it
dont see it no way.
In + not there
stid, i told you the ei8 was an in7!
off to the PB for me
lol ruru
oh golly.... *thinking*
hurshy are you still a green bay packers fan?
gr8 are presumably NOT in7s
yes ruru
what a loss of any i n g in this grid.
I find it interesting that we often don't need help and go to the PB on our own initiatives! LOL
what are in 7 s? not getting it. or the or 8 at all. is there an or 7 before it?
god I wish we picked Aaron Rogers over Alex whatever his name is..
I don't get it... *sigh* I shall go sit in the corner and wear the dunce's cap
in = math term
IN + **** and there...
there is not an or7 before it. or at all.
back to the PB for me again
what team do you root for?
the sad sack 49'ers
I have the in 6s now... the in 7 is not getting me where I need to be
(ps don't forget that aaron has had a good long training period of learning from brett, so who knows if he would be as good if he hadn't got picked by the pack?)
in + striped cat (large) with a different vowell
or8 = or + lice egg + not those but t***e
darn cant get that or 8. i know the bird word but then cant get end. male organ plural.........should be ses so it is not possible. very confused.
OH! that math term! WHOLE NUMBERS!!!!
rofl...
down to 39 now
technically, not, but, ok.
ty got it pini. super clue. i was all around it and not getting it.
He was always talented... he was terrific at Cal.
i tried ending of ist that is why i didnt get it. how silly of me.
but you have to admit his STYLE of play is very brett-like at this point
ON 5 please?
I am so happy that Brett is doing well in NYC..he is going to be in the playoffs for sure
veg makes you cry, stid
oh yeah it is.. he's going to be a good one though.. knows how to wine
win that is
Alex knows how to whine...
ah... was wondering how drinking would help
now THAT is just SAD! (thanks pini)
what a shame this grid is. i dont see ion words, ing words, ist words. what a shame.
* smile *
sh7,please
I agree mkg ..
i got a splinter on tuesday and i finally got it out today.
mkg... on5 ends in one of those endings
all those endings and nowhere to go
yeah hurshy!
more see-through, aeb
ouch hursh
more of sh5/12 before it
really? trying to get on 5............
you know i never thought about it before but if a tiny sliver remains in you for awhile, it gets saturated, and is no longer really splinter-like. it's interesting.
on5 = "crying" veg
got it. ty ty.
do any use the t and that ending?
no.
ty, Pini....what would we do without you?
what'd you do, hursh, put it under a microscope?
no mkg
probably the entire grid, aeb!
