It's that sort of grid, peri.
Elder! G'd morning Babblers, this grid has poopy potential.....
morning Lori, it does indeed
it is 5:30 am here but had a restless night and decided to finally get out of bed at 5 am
peri et5/12
Good morning Lori. It's the sort of grid you tackle with tweezers but wish for dynamite.
Weird, weird, weird letters. Gah
hi there Lori, wish I had your e-mail address. Had a great message re housework to send
'giggles' another good icon from Lorip.
((lori ))) check out flicker, have some more photos of deacon
That woman knows how to pick an icon.
and elder, how are you?
Oooh, more picks. Peri, doesn't my e-mail show my addy? ***ponders that***
not seeing the et5, will keep looking
Lori, have not checked your profile in a while, brb
I meant *pics.. jeesh. Thanks elder! I laughed so hard, had to have this icon.
peri, I think FM maybe forwarded it yesterday. It would be right up Lori's street.
I have trouble with tweezers, nip my skin due to eye sight not being as good as they once were. So it's going to have to be dynamite.
I've clicked the "show address" feature. I think....
Lori, I hope you were careful where you laughed.
Lori, no e-mail address in your icon.
Oooh, yes the one FM sent. Tooo funny!
Love your icon, Lori. Adore Maxine
YOu did get it then, great. It was funny wasn't it?
Haz, I'm always careful, especially with the placement of l's in a word....
Granny am fine thank you and you?
thought you of all people, Lori, would appreciate it
oh yes peri, it was a big laugh for me. :)
I've found that to be a rule to stick to, Lori. Check that L is where it should be.
going great guns, elder. had a yucky start to the week, but all is good now.
Doesn't Maxine just epotimize all the things we'd like to say, but restrain ourselves from saying?
: D
yes she does, Lori, sort of like Murphy Brown.
Morning all :)
hey mitch
Good morning FM!
hi there FM!!!!
Granny, it's always pleasing when the late part of the week is better than the begining.
Hello FMitch.
FM!!! ***lone water balloon to the ehad, cutbacks due to the economy***
morning FM
Hello hello! *missed me Lori teehee*
Stoopid economy. I wasted my only balloon. :(
got the et5 thanks
omg, just realised haven't remade the bed , stripped it this AM for wash. brb
NBT
It's postitively warm outside already *sighs happily*
wtg peri
:-)
mitch, stop gloating. not nice. we are heading for very low figures tonight
Do you believe the long range weather forecast? The one that says we're in for a warm summer?
still, good excuse for a cuddle ( not th4 i need one )
Sorry *tries not to smile* how low is low granny?
I would like to believe it Haz
good morning all. This is the most stubborn grid I've seen in a long time, n'est ce pas?
Maybe I'm being cynical but I think it's been ordered by the government to try to divert attention from the sort of economy that forces the restriction of water balloons.
Good morning, Eva. Stubborn is the word.
Hello Eva.
Only just stated Eva so am in the happy stage (so far).
hi Eva
G'd morning Ehva, that's a kind description

What is the total for today please
135 gran
Thanks
grannyrose on babanan
hi Dippnall
phantom for today - pathetic
hi Chris, half the 8 anyway
ty for that Chris - you have led me to an 8-letter word!
that's what these grids have been this past week, Chris
wish I could see an 8! Hi lynxxx
tell me aboutit oodle
hi Oodle
hi lllyyynnnxxx
is lickety back?
Honest ta' Pete, I'm hating this stoopid k. Are there more than the 2 ke's please?
no, the rest are ka
and all 4's except the ke6.30
That helps greatly, thanks Lynx! I was a tad over focused on ke. poopy
good, thanks again. I have the 6, so I'm foiled by a stoopid 4. MENSA!
ka4.11 perhaps
nope, got taht unless there's 2
ka4.10
Gah! Found it. Dumb of me. Thanks again Lynx
Ashamed to admit it was Citizen..... ***blush***
Big words from that a. Is the 3rd words also an ap?
ap5.12
Thanks muchly again. You keep saving my bacon. :)
Can't believe I missed THAT. Best start looking a little clser at this..... gah
It is surely a poopy grid today.
No kiddin'! I'm going the p last, cuz I know that'll suck.14 words left from assorted annoying letters
I've given up on the methodical approach and have set my monkeys lose to see if they can do any better.
'Bout as good a plan as any with this grid.....
Tell me!! :)
It's no good I give in and will take peek at the list on BabAnon .. I am so weak :(
: p
oh no, if this grid is defeating fmitch, what on earth will it do to me? good morning
Welcome to a toughie Dorens :)
hi Dorens
a toughie without lickety? doooooom!
G'd morning Dorens
There are some great words hidden in there but they are so very hard to find today!
well, at least it isn't a work day :)
Get stuck in and the workds come in fits and starts (ish) *grin*
ok. the first 30 have come nicely. and now the fun begins?
That was the fun part Dorens.
My ep***** should read...this grid was poopy.
well, the next ten were ok.
Good morning/day to all.
Never ceases to amaze me how the brain works when you look at the list and see the 2 letter number combo and the word just pops into the brain right away.
morning scrabs
FMitch--you are pro again.
Thanks Lori!
Scrabbler, Hi there!!!!
hi Scrabs
yes fmitch, and so oftten we don't even need to look at the grid. just the list does it
yes I am, I switched it back on yesterday in honor of Haz's brithday.
oh, by the way fmitch. last night the penalty box included a hottub. a very very large hottub.
oh, belated happy birthday to haz
yikes. i just found a word and now i need to go to the pb and dip in the hottub
yvw Lynx, I owe ya'. :) Mornin' Scrabbler
Glad to hear the hot tub lives on, I had to put a pool in the PB pic as a hot tub took up too much room.
believe it or not, people (I won't tell divulge names) were putting words in the chat just to take a dip!
We could have a pool installed in Babble Land.
Darn was there a party going on?
I didn't do it on purpose. I was having trouble without Lickety's Babble Expert.
Yes, ethyl alcohol was involved.
soomeone else actually did, though, remember?
We believe you Scrabs!
I remember, Doren, someone repeatedly putting the word "armet" into the chat, haha.
yes, she was very very funny
well i've finally found 50 words. time for coffee, bbs
And now must leave for work---8-12 then quick shopping. BBL.
Bye Scrabs and Dorens
big sigh..this is tuff ...24 left...BBS
Morning. Watching This weeks Daily shows, very amusing. but sort of sad....in a way, some of the news is too serious for humor.
I want another R for this grid.
R
thanks KJE! but I am unsure if I can do it.
I want another R, and an S and D would come in handy too and Hi red and kje
Hi FM.
hi
bite your tongue red
An s would be a welcome addition for sure.
Hey hurshy
hey FM, how are you? :)
hello hurshy, no tounge biting for me.
back for another ten
Okey dokey hursh and you?
well you should... too serious for humor, hmph.
there was a very not humouous discussion of torture, and waterboarding. It just was not funny at all. Just wrong.
Yay there is hope have just monkeyed the pa8!!
yay FM!
yay fmitch!!!
the germ?
congrats FM!
oh, thanks red
how can you be ruthLESS if you can't be ruth?
My monkeys are brilliant *grin*
ummmm kje?
uh kje, you can be that ru word.... you have to spell it correctly.
i'm doing just fine FM... that's true red, i did see that
the rest is funny, especially the part about the washington monument consummating its love for the pentagon withthe image....
oops -
but his apology for saying tht truman was a war criminal, followed by some nasty bit about warren harding (i think?) was terrific
I think I missed that.
Word count, anyone?
yes, if only other public figures knew how to apologize as sincerely!
135
thanks
ok, got ten. be back later (this is my new discipline... ten words at a time)
need coffee... which means leaving the hotel... darn it
Oh have just found the word LorP clued earlier - nice one Lori!
good luck with that dorens
kje, how on earth can there be No coffee in a hotel. that is crazeee.
haha kj, you kno me too well... and what kind of hotel are you in????
Rememeber the PBS program, "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?" Well, where in the world is Lickety? I miss him here. I have to do the grid while traveling and can't enter words in the grid.
well... there is a coffee pot in the room - but it SUCKS
and there is a starbucks 2 blocks down, so I can actually get a decent cup
therefore it is hard for me to settle for crap
understandable
I dislike starbucks coffee, but it is probably better than hotel swill...
i have a "soundtrack" from carmen san diego :)
How much does a standard cup of normal coffee in Starbucks cost over there?
peets is my fave - but starbucks is good, and reliable
ok, poofing
me too (stuck around and found ten easier ones... now more than halfway) this grid is tough. sorry, fmitch, don't know the answer to that
No probs Dorens :)
ah. just found interesting vegetable... i definitely see what you meant about this grid fm
and as i have never had so much as a sip of coffee in my life, i haven't the foggiest idea either.
I have heard about the price of a coffee in the UK!
Starbucks is overpriced. I buy about a cup a month. I like it, but I can't tolerate the price and it is very dark roasted. I prefer grinding and making my own at home. I miss my coffee when I'm on the road like this.
oh no, i actually do get a cup at starbucks from time to time, but don't want to know the price
So where is Lickety ... camping, sick, or busy?
Yup lynxxx, go to a coffee shop here and pay around about £3
I think a regular cup of coffee is about 1.79. and it is too dark roasted for me.
Busy I am guessing Merk
I wonder how they justify that proce
price
£3 is just for a regular coffee with milk and no froth etc!
I have no idea, but they make most of their money off of those 400 calories in a cup fancy drinks.
We are on our way to Seattle, so I can't chat. I'll log off to have breakfast, check here one more time, and hit the road. bbl
Coffee here is $3 - $3.50
i was just reading an article from one of the medical journals about how we should put an extra tax on sugary beverages like soda. it now occurs to me that if we also tax coffee, we would have a one-two punch, creating a fabulous revenue stream!
I think ours is less expensive, except that I have trouble converting monies and right now the dollar is so weak.
seattle, should get some fabulous coffe there!
three pounds is at least 6 bucks.
Well, they admit that taxing cigarettes have encouraged some people to stop smoking, but drinking coffee in moderation is not proven to cause cancer, like smoking in moderation does.
but it would be a fab source of revenue.
Not sure that is right these days hurshy the pound has taken a beating with the economic decline over here.
I'd probably just stop drinking it.
really? ok off to check the currency converter
checked one dollar = 1.49 pounds.
other way - one pound is a buck fifty. so $4.50 for coffee.
oh yes, sorry, have not had any coffee today yet.
lol
and thank goodness, I dont pay 4.50 for coffee....who goes tothat kind of coffee shop????
morning everyone:)

good afternoon Rolin
Still at the store. We have to move in the next thirty days though and it has been lean times there, so I am starting to look for a second job to pair with it. Oh joy, oh bliss :)
oh dear, I am sorry to hear that.
i dont think im gonna be finishing this grid without lickety
no lickety today
oops
I haven't started yet and I am already a little afraid of this grid. No-one is very impressed with it. I assume there is a backup list in bab anon?
ooooookay...seems i wont be finishing the grid then..lol
Uni, I will keep you in my thoughts that you find another job quickly
no need to rub it in, kim
It's hard to type with a cup of coffe in your hand!

hello everyone!
Hello Annie!
Hi Uni...
I hope all is well with Lickety..I see no list today
There is a list posted in BabAnon, luckily. Not as fluid as using Expert (:D) but stilllovely.
I still do not have Expert. I am computer illiterate and I dont think I will be able to install Expert. So here I sit in the Dark Ages.
ho0w do you get expert?
is that different to pro?
rolin, Email Lickety for it
cos i need one more t...and its driving me crazy..lol
Aww, poor Annie. There is no installation, you just have to double click on one or two different things and you're computer just kind of does it for you. You get Expert by e-mailing Lickety and asking him for it- it combines the grid and the list in one browser and allows you to enter words to both simultaneously.
ta + abbr for alias + male pronoun
Expert won't help today though, since no Lickety's.
i meant just T, not ta, there
Oh yeah, cuz that is a common word...thanks hurshy.
yw
thats the one hurshy...ty
Uni, Would I be able to get Expert from Lickety and then hold the program until someone who knows how to install can be here to do it for me?
mart thing (doo doo doo doo doo) you make my heart sing (doo doo doo doo doo) you make everything... mewy mart thing, i think i loooove you but i wanna know for sure so come on over here and mew at me (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...)
Absolutely. Since it is e-mailed to you, you will have it in your e-mail as long as you choose to keep it, I have installed it on my father's computer that way for when I babble at his place, heh
Uni, sending kisses to you, thanks
If you would like, I could send you an e-mail this evening talking you through it, so you don't have to wait...Have to leave for work now, but can do it later :)
Uni, can you send me the email and when I get courageous and you have free time, can you help me?
annie,you have been without expert all this time??! you should of spoken up:/
crossy, hi..and I dont use the list either. I know, I know.
Yep! I have saved a draft e-mail to you so I won't forget. Catch y'all later, I've gotta hit the road. Take care!
Thanks Uni..bye
((Many people prefer not to use expert or list, which is great! If you don't like it, don't use it, but it's all worth a shot))
i do not list anymore,but expert is a must for me;)
Yes, I agree. I am just afraid that if I try to install it and I mess up I cant get onto Babble then.
not possible.
hi all
Nah, that won't happen unless you destroy your computer or internet access. Expert is just a handy dandy thing. Really going now, xo!
xxxx, have a great day, Uni, bye
hurshy, thanks for the positive input
Hi Owl!
just out of interest...what are the 8s..and values pls?
annie,i just cheked i still have the babble exe files and everything that dr_god sent me.if you like we can gat on msn and i can set it up for you in ten minutes...
hi annie!
ap8/50 pa8/60
crossy, I dont know how to get onto msn (please dont laugh) so I think I will wait for Uni's email. I do live in the Dark Ages computerwise but thank you for trying to help me. Really.
the p is a word you know, the a is prolly not
k then no problen:)
ty hurshy.. do have all the gs?
yep
got the pa8...thanks, hurshy
ty hursh for pa8
yw :)
ha..got the pa.. i have ge4,5,5,5,5,4,and go7
ge5/16 ends like tu6
nope..got that
all the others are 5/14, the fives run all in a row there.
oooh how embarrassing...and me an english teacher ..not to see that one..lol
your *****ic makeup is in your DNA aladdin knew a ***** westerns are a ***** of film change end vowel for the last.
ap8?
ap7 sounds like a hearty desire for food
trying to work off not caring... but that's not working
ap8 inserts the letter you'd think it would in the 3rd position, and changes it so the end is the opp of day.
got it - TY!
insert that e into the ap7?
:)
cool..ty
Hiya, chicks. That's a wacky one.
thanks, hurshy
thiswokrs from the ap 7 gem?
morning, Judi
no, not the e... start it like you would start the bug ***id
I found the other 8 all by myself. *beaming*
ok now since we are to ugs not food, please repeat orginal clue?
start like bug, then vowel, then opp of day
that's not the original, but the original was awfly confusing.
ty. hurshy, i think i will pack it in, garden club is having a plant sale
0_o
Crossy!
judi!!:))
pack pack pack, have fun at plant sale
began a 8, probably nothing left but i must get moving
Have fun, TO. Hope the rain lets up so you can plant something.
I love plant sales, have a great time and buy lots of plants, Owl

Hello Ata!
Hi Ata!
hi ata!
hi ata
Morning, Ata! Hubby's almost ready to go out to breakfast. Half asleep still - walking around with his socks half on. Oy.
Isnt kapo a word? Or is it only accepted with the C spelling?
I thought that too, annie
Only with a C, annie.
good morning, babble friends!
annie mught just as well ask us to explain the mysteries of the universe....rather than the enigma that is enable
Hi Trif
Good morning Trif.
howdy ho
hi all. belated birthday greetings to haz!
morning Trif and Haz
Thanks Dorens!
"the enigma that is enable" ...I like that
back for a few more while I have coffee
BBL, kids.
which takes ph4/6 but not chai or internet
Hi, trif.
hi doren hi flosey
hi dorens and flosey
hih trif bye judi *head spins*
haaaappy birthday yesterday to haz, happy birthday yesterday tooooo haz
Lovely singing.
did you do anything nice for your birthday, haz?
psst ata - she looks pretty good for her age, doesn't she?
happpy biiiiirthday yesterday to Haaaaz, ......Happy birrrrrrthday to youuuuu
yeah, very good for 60
or we could sing the song from alice in wonderland that my parents always sang n the day after a birthday. A very merry unbirthday to you, to you, a very merry unbirthday to you, to you!
oh, funny, my sister's is today.
Nothing dramatic. At this advanced age you need to slow down.
don't laugh at 60, i'll be there within the year!
what did george send?
Gd morning all...
having a birthday beats the alternative!
mr. rogers had a nice birthday song. happy birthday, happy birthday, dear friend, we sing to you happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you
morning, kadresa
KAD!!!!!
good morning kadresa
How was your night? Mornin Dorens, Annie and the rest!
TO, George is being terribly discreet. I know when he smiles in a particular way that it's for me.
hi kadresa
he does need discretion, haz, so as not to incur boundless jealousy from the rest of us
he is looking a little peaked lately...are you spurning him again just for sport?
(he's getting up there in years now, himself)
Haz would never! Would she?
doren enought with the old age talk lol
ok, i'm done owl. thanks
or i will have to reinvent myslef to a younger age.
not with the grid, with the old age talk :')
what a bother, to create w hole new past
owl you are still one or two years younger i think
George knows that there's always a place in my downstairs cupboard for when times get too stressful.
no lickety again?
is he ok?
No LIckety again and we don't know why.
Or do we? I've been away for a while and haven't caught up.
mr p was here yesterday, from her talk i thought he was to run a list . no talk of anything bad
Hello lovely YOUNG ladies!!! Happy belated birthday, Haz.
it must be an awful burden to owe us this every day and have to explain if he isn't doing it.
cj!
before lickety there was brandy jack's list in babanon
we love the work that lickety does for us..makes us apreciate it more when he comes back;)
morning TO. I should ge doing outside work and here I sit.
ys. we loved BJ
very true Crossy
yes liked his humor
grannyrose completed the grid earlier and put a list in BabAnon again. I'll be resorting to it.
good judy, don't go outside, then I won't feel too guilty for being inside myself, please
Does Brandyjack still babble?
hahaha Dorens. I'll wait a few more minutes.
i don't know. only the rankings would tell
not sure
I know he got a bit fed up
We all get a bit fed up.
fed up?
Although we probably get fed up for different reasons. Why was Bj fed up?
i'm of*** fed up
cos everyone loved lickety's list and no-one acknowledged his contribution. which i understand!
thx Dorens didn't have that word
late happy birthday haz
thanks dorens
oh i can completely understand that, ata
Thank you jmc.
yw ... wish more people would do that. I am down to 40 without a list but am beginning to need some help. hi j
hi jmc
hi jmc
Bj's list was very helpful, always.
not that he really said that, but reading between the not very thinkly veiled lines ...
doe you have two et 6 gases? and ep7 bad word?
yes, thanks owl. i need 9 p's, if anyone has any particularly clever ones
oooo thx TO
No, I don't think he'd ever say anything, Ata. Just like me, the soul of discretion (note sarcastic font)
ant that ep is the only 7 i've managed to find on my own
two all beef pa6s on a sesame seed bun
yes haz, we often discuss your discretion and tact!
so why isn't hottie a word?
permission to smirck please, ata!
we do?
thanks TO
good owl, didn't have that
Tact and diplomacy, my middle names. I've been good lately, haven't caused a row for a while.
smirk away!!
robber
lol, haz, that's cause you haven't been here, maybe?

ty TO

I know, Ata, it's some talent, isn't it?
oh yes. a great one.
oh heck not even ready to go and plant sale ends at 11 - outta here! *poof*

Bye TO! Put some clothes on!
wow I can see I am in real trouble on this grid
it is a toughie j!
goo thing I have a baseball game to go to later
btw dorens your turn
*good
oh good j. will get there soon as i find two more words (which will bring me down to 30)
how early did you get up Dorens! lol
it's really an interesting grid.. the words do come to you i time... just not as quickly as usual
(and of course there are the occasional clues that I am gobbling up from time to time)
And I found that some words just leapt out at me when I came back - after being convinced I would never see any more.
i can see there aren't going to be much in the was of pl and pt add one!
exactly.
i meant to agree with haz, but I also agree with jmc
ever the optimist in spite of evidence to the contrary I plug on!
that does work Haz. Sometimes you need to walk away for a while.
What frustrates or amazes me is that they were just sitting there, not even hiding.
PHone
I need to move some letters around on this grid!!
There are a lot reading right to left.
sitting there smugly
wipe the smirk off ata
And pulling faces - the letters, I mean.
oops you meant the words were sitting there smuggly
my bad
wipe the smirk off the words, then
hello-how many letters in the A words, please?
8 and 5 ap
ap 7, 8 and 5
did you see my icon haz? it is happy birthday AND a word from the grid!
hi, all...any clues for th6/21?
hi angel
It's lovely! Thanks harpjane.
add a letter to the 5/12 before angel
th6/21 - put a vowel in the midst of old fashioned 'your'
how many words today?

ty haz
You're welcome.

hi all, lots of phantoms in this grid grumble grumble
Absolutely, you know it makes sense.
I thought I would buy a couple of pigs to get rid of my nasty neighbor...
fireworks! thanks for the help.
yeah angelsong
good afternoon all...I am finding this grid tobe more challenging than normal.
wtg angel
And congrats Angel Song.
good morning, all :)
morning nan
I like the fact that the government has quit calling it swine flu to protect the pork industry -- and the isreali government quit calling it that to avoid offending observant Jews
ooooo good idea, ruru
hi red and nan
Hello all! Are we still having trouble with Lickety?
H1N1....but I believe the pork industry has taken a hit, though I am not sure about the Observant Jew industry has.
no lickety yet?
j! i just found taeniae on lexulous
lol red!
I think the US stopped calling it swine flu so that people wouldn't associate it with Congress
dorens you are a mean lady! lol
lol!!!
Good Job Ruru!
I cant get rid of Thursday's clues!!
no clues today, teena
And I will say, I guess if I was an observant Jew, being diagnosed as having swine flu would be offensive.
there are no other clues repart
Oh ruru--I thought they were talking about some of my past beaus!!!
Taking a quick break.
You've been dating Congressmen?
no - just swine apparently...
lol
I went out with a few many years ago
getting your chops down are you?
it happens to all of us unfortunately!!!
or bringing home the bacon?
mmmm bacon
mmmmm
okay got to do a few things before I go watch the Nationals embarrass themselves again
oh sure guys are pigs... but women love scrambled eggs and bacon...
bbl
chores call, be back later
hi all
hi nrkii
hello all
hi peri
is lickety's up yet. I know there is a list in bab anon
he peir
hi peri!!
I have AP8... could someone tell me what the other 8 starts with please?
pa8
pa8 medical term
hahaha! you know that joke about how God had 2 things left to give out when creating man and women? one was a "peepee" which the man excitedly said he must have that because he could pee standing up and could write his name in the snow? When God asked the woman if she was ok with that she said absolutely because what was left was BRAINS!!!
thanks, I see it!
finally found the ap 7 -- hope it doesn't mean the same as the usual spelling
is the ap 8 off the ap 7 or is it a completly different word,please
it's a simialr type of word
totally different beginning, same end
ap 8 is some kind of rock or mineral
oh no I have no sevens yet, searching.
you gotta be hungry red
ap 8 -- think of a russian hound begining with an article in the dark
Oooooh.
ty for clues, still monkeying,:)
aw, jeez, poor Federer just lost to Djokovic in the Rome semi-finals . . . even with a big fan sign in the upper bleachers: "Federissimo!"
Well, I am sure he played heroically.
russian hound beginning+indef. article+dark time
Amazing! I am planning a tripto St Augustine, and the Fort and ferry are free park admission! amazing.
apparently the visitor center was built by the WPA...
fort wasn't free when we were there (mind you that was about 30 years ago)
free is nice;)
if russian hound has you stumped, there are little pests that destroy flowers and you can use that beginning... or ap + laugh syllable + alt spelling of dark time
this is fort matanzas, not the Big Fort.
nrkii, that did it for me, thanks.
tyvm mrkii! very good clue;))
ah -- that makes more sense then -- not much upkeep
ty nrkii, that was a great clue
yvw
the Big fort is 6.00 entry. but I think I willleave a donation, it is the oldest foreign settlement in the US....
100 down and really struggling -- guess I should consult the list at babanon
I have only 47 words... crazy.
I started last night, red -- haven't found more than 10 this morning
im right there with you red:/
me 2 nan
Well, it is a challenge.
34 left and getting stucked
Ata, wash out your mouth.
the top e is driving me crazy.. i have epX 2 and en X1 can't get the last one.
are there any gh words?
:P
no gh
i have not found any!
14 left here...
et6, ruru
et6/21 to be precise
thank you haz
shoot, I had the OTHER et6 that is one vowel off, but I missed the one from the top
You're welcome.
thanks haz
13 left
just found ep 7 thats two 7s
ooh -- i'm missing the en -- how many letters?
5
en5, cybernan.
e + mr hawthorne
I have 36 and I am stucked too
no -- I have that -- must be the et (one I have comes from the bottom)
yep -- almost the same word!
33 and also stuck
35 and stucked now thanks nan
(driving haz crazy with bad english)
yw ruru
poor english..lol
ooh, just found ha6 and ha7... not very easy to monkey words
Starting to froth at the mouth and twitch.
mmm -- don't have those either -- related?
i am stuckted cause of badder wordses:))
sort of like "what's Ha****ning?" but need to change 4th letter
** passes paper towels **
well start using apo'strophes wrong next
then add a letter
Oh dear, Haz -- I was just about to ask if that was a drive or a putt?
Gritting teeth and trying to whistle nonchalantly is impossible
i founded one:)
ty nrkii
are there actually words in this grid? :-)
a few magazinemom;/
ep7 clue plz
little 5 word flurry there -- soon died down
have the ce 4/5 -- what is the other one, please?
ep7 = a nickname
ep7 - a word ascribing a characteristic as in a dog is man's best friend. Not to be confused with epitaph.
ce6 is similar, but stick indefinite article before last vowel
ce6/21
ty haz for clearing that up
ty
It's just that I saw it being clued earlier as something you'd see on a gravestone.
break time
yes, me too
Haz, I always have to stop and think about those two words... really only about the one that is in today's grid, to be sure I don't confuse it
9 left... need babanon list...
I know, it's one of those words.
wow, even when I purposely look for he6 in the grid, I miss it
What is the point total?
It's okay, got it.
go go haz!
finally done
I've stopped going. I've got there.
wow nrkii, thats great
yay haz! yay nrk!
Did you not hear the big sigh of relief?
I have 81 left
have op 4 , 6, 5, and or 6 from the top o -- what am I missing?
congrats, nrk

There are two op4

*sneaking in* nerky, how's the family?
good thanks CJ!
ap 5 clue anyone?
are you back home?
nope, still in MA until after Mother's Day... dad still in rehab hospital
ap5 - concerning bees
to do with bees ruru
I wonder why it's not to do with apes?
thinking of you and the family, nerky. take care of YOURSELF too.
thanks CJ!
thank you..
what are the 7's? -- still missing 2
I never get that word
ap7, ep 7, go7, ha 7, ph7
because that would be simian or something. maybe.
ap, ep,go, ha,ph are the sevens
go and ph then -- ty haz
Ata, I guess so, but isn't it more convenient to have ap5 be "having to do with apes" and have beeian be "having to do with bees?"
You're welcome.
the scientific family for most of our common bees is Apidae :)
yes but Latin is so inconvenient :)
don't see a go anything
Latin is a wonderful language for science :)
go7 - looks like a citizen of Batman's city
me neither ruru
(Hoping I've got my superheros right)
when in doubt, combine a few letters and add ate, ite, ane, ene, or some other similar ending

There's a relief!

haz, purely selfish. for when i send meself there, luv.
ap7 - a plus three letters of Ireland's saint, finish by mixing up letters of gent's neckwear
ap == similar to hunger -- change a vowel
Ulterior motives, smaller, would never have guessed!
ty
ap7 looks like the wrong spelling for what you lose when you are ill and want no food.
yay 7's done
only one go word?
Yes, just the one.
Ideally, that would be "weight", Haz. Unfortunately, that never seems to happen when I'm ill.

une, went to garden club pant sale this morning - too late for plants but i joined
***falls asleep on Une's shoulder***
cool! We've had over 3 inches of rain in the last 24 hours -- when it finally stops, I'll be working in MUD! LOL
hi peeps lady
awww, it'll be ok, oodle . . .
ru do you have the old way to say yours
hi oodle
unen someone was selling lily of the valley and someone else asked if they could grow it in pots
hey oods
ok bbl need a nap
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
big plant/herb sale one block from my house right now but who want to slog around in this mess . . . ugh
TO, in the last 2 weeks I've divided and shared MOUNTAINS of lily of the valley -- mine had gone nuts with all the rain and cool nite time temps!
ti 6 anyone?
nm
got it
i od know it is invasive but what about potting it?
clue please ru dont have it
why would you grow it in pots? it's very hardy down to like O degrees . . .
A giant ti5 with an extra vowell thrown in
when it spreads, just dig it up and share like I did . . .
ooohhh, ruru, like ti6 red . . .
hello dear all... wandering in on 6 hours' sleep. 65 to go.
well the person asking wanted to make it a houseplant. but i would do it to control it. une i think our habitats are probably very different
I'll take some owl! (i have had very bad luck with lily of the valley)
ru: dutch master
houseplant? uh, er, I don't think so :-)
hi stid, and everyone else
this was a toughie
really dor? i will get you some
stid, 6 hrs' sleep sounds great to me!
hey, dorens!
if you really want it, looked very healthy
(((Une))) rough night again?
YAY ruru!
I have 6 ta words: r,r 6,4, 4, 4 correct?
only when yours has overgrown, owl, and then I will take it for free. it is on sale around here too, i just think it doesn't like the place i want it to be.
NM. I mean 4,4 , 6, 4,4,4,
dor the garden sale was tapped out but i may join them. unfortunately there was the development wide yard sale
I suspect that lily of the valley in a pot would do okay for a short time 2-3 weeks (while it's blooming) indoors, but should really be outside most of the year, sunk into the ground to avoid dying in winter.
stiddy, at least I chatted with the vet and he wrote a scrip for Shelby -- 1/4 of an acepromazine did the trick
my garden is overwhelming... i thin k i'm going to move
just a very odd choice for a house plant . . .
doren it was very reasonale like a buck or two. but funny you should say that. the garden club lady said heres does not spread,, thinking that was why.
dorens! LOL
GOOD. why is your neighborhood so noisy, chere amie?
not noisy -- we've just had a very stormy sprint with thunder and lightning, which totally freaks her out
*spring
pachysandra blight in a huge area... something has attacked viburnum and cherry laurell. I just came in from spending an hour just picking off old seemingly diseased leaves from viburnum and i am just getting tired of it

ad in paper for local woman who hires out for weeding . . . think I'm gonna get her to weed the big bed with VERY healthy poison ivy growing
doren, the soil is pure clay. i cannot even move it with a pitchfork and all my weigh. after a good rain.
bye cross, ty stid
TO, my mom's yard is like that -- all the stuff I've been digging up and sharing with folks -- have to wait each time till after big rain
i will conitnue to cut it myslef and use the money saved to do the work
smart une... and yes, owl I understand.. clay is another story
TO, there are ways to amend clay (and fine silt, like mine) by adding in compost and calcium.
the site ws a farm. they stripped the topsoil and sold it
stid: i am 5.2" opn a good day and too old to do it on a 50x178 ft lot
right, stid, but first she has to be able to dig into that clay and it can be really arduous
Also, plants like dandelion and dock, that have LONG taproots can help restore depleted soils such as yours (but it takes time).
all our rain has been wonderful for the flowers but some very nasty stuff is thriving, like poison ivy and . . . a tick fell onto me from a dripping branch yesterday when I took the pups out to pee . . . ack!!!
i do EVERYTHING myself that i can here which is - everything, with no help, even dragging out and sawing heavy branches.
LOL I know TO, what we did because my back was bad when we moved in, we just overlaid the existing silt soil with good stuff we brought in for raised beds. Now ten years later, we have the raised beds + extra inches down where the calcium has worked its magic.
owl is superwoman!!!
me too, TO
TO, you're amazing!

Going to the All Beethoven tomorrow with Jonathan Biss as soloist.

continent is a word, but not in the grid...
hello red! how are you today?
you want the money...
I am Ok. I just got the dog fromt he vet.
ty
is dog okay????
is the dog ok red?
they put him on hydralazine and Prozac, and He is really rather sleepy.
He has a very nasty hot spot.
what does hydralazine do? antihistamine like hydroxyzine?
what is he allergic to?
oh those are bad, had a dog that got one once
ant bite will do it
Oh geez, I meant Hydroxizine. Hydralizine is aBP med.
Hi all -- this one seems to be tricky but fun
hello WOULF!!!! *faints then gets up and makes cake to celebrate*
hello woulf
Hi Grey Woulf. How isit. and yes tricky. Hi TO.
{{**stid, TO, redturtle, everyone else...**}}
well glad you got him the meds so he will be comfortable. We are STILL giving Lucky hydroxyzine, trying to get him back to normal after he ate all those chicken meatballs... *sigh*
hi red. sorry began to paly then wandered off
occasionally i find some words I should have found earlier lol
yes, me too cherly
I am not here for very long right now -- I was just checking my dates before taking the kids out for a short trek
Well, I admit he is quite sedate. I could get used to it, but I am not really sure I want a dog on Prozac.
I do that a lot TO!
go7?
sounds like a good saturday activity, woulf. everyone healthy at the moment?
Today is Free Comic Book day and I am getting the kids hooked early :-)
I don't have that yet shirlock
oh i see the sun has come out again, for a bit
kids who dress in black might be called go7
WOO HOO!! free comic books, eh?
go + lisp word for taut
I only have one seven and thats not it.
perfect clue, phaeton!
ty
and good clue also cherly!
Well... everyone except me stid :( I had strep throat two weeks ago, and it seems to have come back... I am still waiting for the results of the throat culture the doc took on Thursday to find out if I need stronger antibiotics... the amoxicillin seems to have not fully done the job
hm. two more G words, need a GE 5/16...
sorry gray, hope they find the right stuff.
sorry to hear that. this weather does not help. more to come next week
ge and slight bite
oh dear. I am sorry to hear that. you know black tea (without sugar or milk, both of which "feed" strep) can help knock it back?
thanks cherly!
yw
at least until you have the culture back and know what to take for it.
Gs gone!
Thanks everyone -- my greatest concern is that it isn't strep at all, but allergies... I have never manifested allergies before in my life and don't like feeling like this at all
down to 36...
have one g4 g g5 and one 57
go clues were good, i finally got it, thx, i think i'm just slow today ...
I thought I was having allergy problems a couple days ago, Woulf, but it has turned into a nasty head cold.
woulf as someone who has had them all my life, this seasonis a KILLER> worst in a long time
two g4, both GE
I have 55 only, keep falling asleep. I think having days off work is grrrrreat.
stid -- my personal favorite home remedy is Chinese hot mustard... my local restaurant across the street from me makes their own and it did a good job of clearing my sinused last night
there are 5 GE5
still never got the ap 5 brain dead I guess
woulf are you still in the same place?
*gasp* you are just a sucker for punishment! LOL my sinuses were draining just fine on their own all night (which is why I got only 6 hours sleep)
think "swiss" mountain
ap 5 refers to "bee-like" in latin. looks like famous highway in rome, with only one P
help with the he 6/30 please
cow, kazozz
he 6/30 young female cow
HA 7 please?
TO - yep -- still haven't had an opportunity to find a new place to live and still working for Enersys as well
thx....couldnt wiggle my way thru that for love nor money
I guess maybe I need the HA 6 first?
GW you can go to NC and purchase my house.
Please.
add a vowel to the end of the 6 Stid
*grin* thanks kaz... *waiting*
i need to go to redner's - i NEED almond cookies LOL
fireworks
red, I would buy your house if a) I lived over there, and b) I had the money...
mmmm. almond cookies!
Congrats Phaeton!!!!!!!
YAY phaeton!
wyg, phae
Thank you! gotta go...happy babbling!'
later phaeton
It's just such a pain to maintain from a distance. andthen all thesepeople thinking of writing offers, and then not....so stressful and depressing.
was ha6 clued?
And I amin the PB.
Thanks for the offer, red -- but I am looking locally first
ha7? all i can think of is a little ha4 fish but not accepted
62 left...this grid is taking me forever!!
I don't know if those are PB-worthy words, red
80.....
ha 6 + vowel is clue for ha 7, but I don't have the ha 6!
red would you consider renting given present market?
it was the pa4.
TO - does Redner's have the almond cookies?
ha 6 is you wear a ca* to keep your head warm and the number after 9 ....
the voortman ones - in the open case
I do not want to rent, becausethen the tenants would damage the house.
not a very good clue, but hopefully u'll get it
thanks kaz! H gray!
Oh -- I will have to check that out -- because I have found their bakery department to be very disappointing
Its not the mortagage that bothers me, its trying to deal with the lawn in summer, and the Homeowners association.
yay !!!
i hear that, red. but the possibility is the only thing that keeps me buoyed at times
I've hadan offer written and withdrawn, and the housecontinues to show and show,sowe keep hoping.
i don't like their bakery. old enough to remember good local german bakers
ty
I was reading the other day that people are more likely to purchase a home that is being lived in. There are people who make their living doing that!
nearly all gone now, except a few in the city
OK -- I need to go for now, but I will be back later -- after all I still have 99 to find Good seeing you all -- and look forward to seeing you again tonight
the real estate business in CH Hill is less bad than most spots.
we have a nice german bakery, Wagner's -- of course I can't eat their food any more, but when I could I did!
later Woulf, have a great afternoon!
laterwoulf, hope you feel beter. it may very well be allergy, my dad is on prednison his are so bad
feel better everyone!!!!
Hi everyone! Stid, your MIL just called me and we had a nice talk.
hi Scrabbs.
hi scrabbs
hello scrabbler! that's good. she's a nice woman. how are you feeling today?
How are you, Red? Still having pain?
so red they put him straight from claritin to prednisone. the d would raise his bp, ant the regular does nothing. one would think they could try another allery med before going to steroids?
a rather fun grid
KE 6 please?
Hi everyone - started earlier, just getting back now
Not much discomfort for me, just occ achiness.
Yes, I think I pulled one of thebig abdominal muscles. I must have.
I dont really know anything about allergy meds.
Claritin is almost a pacebo--very weak antihistamine.
hi JBV
hello JBV, I am down to 27, just slogging away and begging for clues...
Stid, reading back I saw you mentioned Wagners - ask them if their family ever had a business in Astoria, NYC - we had a great Wagners German bakery many years ago
*placebo, I mean
really scrabbler? and yet it works for me. perhaps it "pre-primes" things?
ke and alternate sp for not child but not adult
these folks have been here at least 40 years... I don't go in anymore, since I can't eat what they sell.
thansk cherly
that is sadstid.
yw
Ks konquered
down to 25.
ah, stidkid has his trumpet out!
Nasla steroid sprays are the most effective treatment for nasal allergy symptoms. Claritin does work but is very weak compared to Benadryl.
have ka 4x4 , ke 4 and ke 6 what am i missing please
five ka
I take Benadryl when I have a cold or a strong reaction to one of my really bad allergens. But otherwise it makes my legs twitchy, so I avoid it
and a ke 4
I bought more flower seeds today! Some perennials, some annuals.
all ka 4
ty
I get very sleepy with benadryl.....
I will take Benadryl if I cannot fall asleep.
good for you scrabbler! I still need to buy the rest of our veggie seeds. Just haven't been highly motivated...
so flonase ok if you have high blood pressure?
got it, ty
I planted seeds in 144 peat cups 8 days ago and seedlings are appearing. This is the first year I have started with seeds.
Ns nicked!
%$#!!*&#@ jus broke glasses
thats some dedication scrabbs.
Yes, Owl, and it works far better. Another option = nasal antihistamine sprays, e.g. Astelin, Patanase
excellent! remember to expose them slowly to outdoors, and keep them moist but not soggy to eliminate damping off
oh no TO! that stinks
well scrabs they put him right on a course of prednisone.
and to me that is scary
It took time, red, but it was fun and will be cheaper than buying flowers and veggie plants.
TO sorry.
let me guess, scrabbler, you planted lettuce and carrots for the bunnies....
bunnies also like blackberry and raspberry leaves...
Nothing worng with fun. Ijust did 3 big container gardens, stole some weeds from the grass, but bought n=some zinnia and stuff.
Stid, we cannot plant here til after Memorial Day. So I will bring things in at night.
great idea, red!
actually, it is the inevitability of losing him that is the source of the anxiety
I know stid, I have some very hungry little visitors each year - they are thriving on my marigolds too
I have not yet planted lettuce or carrots.
mexican marigolds or calendula?
I didnt think the weeds would make it, but they are now thriving in a pot with thepolka dot hosta.
calendula - what is mexican marigold? are they rabbit-resistant?
Has anyone ever been to St Augustine FL? I am planning a trip and want to know if the forts are "worth" it.
Hi everyone
carrots should be started in the ground anyway, they don't transplant well.
hello DR!
Hi DR!
Hi DR
red: be sure to take a dip i the fountain ;)
the oldest Spanish settlement in the U.S. - I would imagine it would be worth a visit, red - I've never been there tho
the mexican marigold is the one most people think of when one says marigold (the english call calendula marigold)... it's a bug deterrant and very pretty
Hi Stid and Red and Scrabs and TO and JBV
Can I do that?
Clearly I need to do more research.
family name is tagetes
hi DR
add kicking in again later all
can't find fishy op 4/6
sorry red last time I went I was five, dont remember much
the grid looks a little scary today
off to $ store for more glasses

Texas is a land of contrasts
{readjusts thinking cap before going back to grid}
ohmy, i just finished the p's and didn't even realize it
thinks thinking cap to be mportant.
Good for you Dorens!
true, we say if you dont like the weather today wait 10 mins
speaking of texas, is anyone from austin?
it will change lol
sounds familiar cherly
sorry dorens havent seen anyone from austin
Babbling from work again, this is getting to be a bad habit.
Any e clues would also be appreciated!
uni! *glomp*

et6 two words chemicals
two et 6s almost the same
ep + laugh
continent eu is not accepted but the money is lol
Halp. I've been glomped.
e + fasten
how does one get rescued from glomping?
one doesn't. it's permanent
glomping is new to me sorry
ah! sorry then, uni, no halp for you!
This grid is awful. Worse than yesterday? Possibly.
DOg is demanding walking, I am very pleased, BBL.
br loves it he said
thats good red, means he is going to be ok
much worse than yesterday. i have 5 left but need a break. see you later
by dorens have a good day

TY for all of the E clues everyone!

yw car
Is there a list up? Other than babanon that is..
dont think so

Still one away from NBT though! Arrrrgh!
what one do you need car
E in the middle of the second column from the right.
e + scotch ****
thks ata
TY! Started looking for whiskey and malt though!
of course!
I thought of scoth mints..
*scotch
i just got an ep7 - name-calling
finate
oops
Phantom: apathies
and apathetic
Got that ep7..thanks Josh. Similar to our phantoms.
also got a go7 that is similar to the ap7
Oh I am struggling now. I just went outside and its beastly hot, I am supposed to go to beach tomorro. I really dont know if Ican take that heat.
poor red!
got my last 7, finally
Urh, found someone to mow the lawn before the showing of my house tomorro, Joshua sure you dont want my house?
i've got my hands full with houses within 2 miles of where i live now, ha
also: fireworks
Yaay for Joshua Vorbis.
does anyone desire clues while i am here?
Umm...ap7? :D I am having mega-trouble
most people have a good ap7 for chocolate (phonetically)
misspelled craving for food
thank you ;)
congrats on your finish, josh
hi ata
hi pini
hi everyone
hi pini
Very delayed thanks for the ap7. I now have 2 7s and 67 words lft. Ack.
hi oodle
better off than I, uni...I only have 1
Ep7 is a name for someone, an ep*****.
hmmm...
go, ha, ph are the other 7s
i got it because it was so close to apa****ic (my lazy phantom)
I am peeking at the list and still failing. I have missed some very easy words. This grid is not my friend. *pout*
thx uni ;)
list? where?
babblers anonymous
ahhh.. ok
I'm hoping to get at least NBT before listing....is it possible?
oh yes
The whole thing without listing is possible...just not likely for most. Ata has her smug hat on and is a genius.
but I'm having trouble with the lone E and O in the fourth column, and at least 1 from the C
mya I have a clue for the bottom O please
no kidding! and this list is loaded with vowels...albiet useless!
I'm looking for that one, too, oodle
The o is like the state (but a bit different at the end)
14 left without the list *smug*
thx uni
***cries***
well dones, ata
why ya cryin', oodle?
e + video t***
I don't even have NBT yet :-(
thx again uni
And my c word is c + french for summer
ty Uni almost misseded it
hmmm... sure wish I knew french!
me either, oodle...
Ata, darling. I love you, but. Boy, do I hate you. I am struggling through this and clinging to the last vestiges of sanity.
Google, Pini. All clues in other languages can be solved with that aid.
the words "sanity" and "babble" should never be used in the same sentence!
<3s google and french.
going ;)
isn't french obligatory in schools in canada?
My province isn't on fire anymore, yay! Nooo...depends on the school. And in many cases it is ludicrously basic at best. It could be so much better, it is easy to become bilingual young, but the effort is not made.
The Nooo...was to French, sorry for potential confusion.
huh. I always assumed it was. strangeness
I have a pittance of a French vocab, despite my 1/4 Acadian blood and being raised in a highly Acadian region of the province.
Did you compl*** your hunt for French summer, Pini?
outrrrrrrrageous
found it!
<-- used Bable Fish to translate ;)
er...Babel Fish
what about a babe fish?
Babel Fish is a free online translator
how about that center I ?
I was making a joke in poor taste :(
Not out + **w your boat
I'd take the babe part, uni :)
danke ;)
and 1 of the 8 G's?
LOL I am being officially Ignored by the cat
What, do I look like your ge***? I don't grant wishes!
Ignored with a capital I, at that. Why is Sily cranky?
ata? ignored?
you're awesome uni!!! NBT!!!!
noooo idea! I obviously did something wrong lol
Perhaps she was put off by your smugness and blinded by your genius and halo (since you are an angel)
probably! no-one is allowed to be more perfect than Silverclaw herself
* blink * huh? did I miss something?
my cat's being a brat
Okey, Iam actually startign to dislike the grid...like it has a distastefulpersonality.

hi sammy
i used to just THINK i was dumb.. butr thanks to this grid i KNOW.......... and my faoritest french word is MERDE!!

I still have 85 and am actually thinking I should list...but I also need to go to the home improvement store...
...and it's raining out :(
i thought about kicking sammy- but with his catly espl, he felt it and gave me the LOOK, so thats out
Pinik, I dont think there is a list.
Oh bab anons, of course there is that!!!
I have 72 left and really have no hope.
let me go see, red...brb
yep, there's one there...I'm going to clean it up for myself (I'll post in my profile when done)
60 left. I am babble suicidal. I am only in danger of closing the window, never to open it again.
nooooooo!
Hey, I took my last break from Aug - Dec. Maybe I need another :)
Trying to scare the grid into behaving.
*looks unimpressed*
LOL
though I am starting to want to kick the grid too
ok...stats in my profile...hope they're right...I still need to find 85 more words...
ep7?
ep7 = a characterizing word or phrase firmly associated with a person or thing and often used in place of an actual name, title, or the like, as “man's best friend†for “dog.â€

ta6.33 is unusual builds on ta4.8
watching to russia with love, very strange flick.
I like the tu6
some parody on bond?
not a parody, just seems to be a spy film. from 1965,
how odd, that title is so close to a bond movie.
Maybe it is a Bond movie. I amnot always aware.
No one has called him Bond yet, but lots of girls, and guns.
that would be From russia with love, with a very famous sound track.
Oh yes it is from russia with love, I just checked, I foudn it strange.
I like the bond films with Connery.
I rarely watch movies but since I've spent the day on couch...
i dont like this grid too much.
okely bbl
and that's ANOTHER word I never see - po4.5, the writer of verse, second last word
was it amusing?
the film? not really, odd but not fun.
too much gun.
oh yes lyn, thanks. Even worse: same word ending M. Eludes me every time it is there.
am sorry, red. A day on the couch should be rewarded with a good movie.
Well, I am sure eventually something nice will come on.
looks like a tough grid indeed. Not at all like yesterday's.
Sprite how is your new puppy?
1 to go, and it's a 6. typical
doing great, red! Healthy and funny and so sweet.
6s are sneaky
they are ...
did you have ta6.33 Ata?
yep, its a 6 from the bottom row T
thats great to hear! Nice icon theme today I shoudl participate, but its so close to manana.
ti6.18?
be nice to yourself, red. Tomorrow is another day.
thats it!
tomorro I am going to the beach.
Red should give you a clue
lol yes, red know all about it
lovely, red. Enjoy your free time!

Hello again kids.
hey Scrabs! Good to see you again. How are you feeling?
Go7? Please?
phantom: nefertite
The gastroenteritis adventure lasted only about 24 hrs, thankfully. The chest discomfort is occasional.
aw Uni, please stay, don't Go.
glad that part is over, Scrabs. When is your doctor's appointment?
I had a mammo and chest X-ray on Wednesday--both were normal. I am waiting for a return call from my doc regarding the next step.
go7 - someone who lives in Batman's town
*poofs* tiiired!
darn sorry, I thought you still had to go. Glad both are normal!
TY, Atalante.
night Ata, sleep well
Aw, Ata, I wanted to tell you something
great word Ata, thanks
Thankees. I am just wiped. 43 left and I need to make supper and get groceries still. All I want is bed.
BRB--must stir dinner.
*hugs Une*
Can groceries wait til tomorrow?
Work through the hours the store is open tomorrow. I can do it Monday night after work, but that seems even worse. I will just buck up! It is early, I am just tired.
* I work through etc etc
nobody who can do it for you?
I did the same thing Tuesday afternoon--exhausted but I needed to shop.
the dreaded shopping... once beautifully typoed as deaded shopping by a fellow babbler.
Haha. Typos can be funny
lol yes, some you never forget!
This is one tough grid! I still need 78 and am seeing nothing.
I totally agree
I am hunting for an ap8. And losing the hunt. *Trades in for elephant gun*
*ducks*
wow got it. It ends in alt spelling for not day
ap8 - to ap add half a laughing fence and finish with American hours of darkness. Now put your gun away.
Just got it as well! ap + laugh + not day
lol yes
hi Haz
Hi and Happy Birthday, Hazel!
I was close with that ap8--except I was only typing 7 letters
Hello there! Just passing through and getting ready to close up computer but thought I'd say hello. Sticky grid, isn't it?
I can't give up the elephant gun. This grid is elusive.
yes it is, Haz, to me too anyway. A grid with a bite.
I am likely to quit this grid soon and focus on the NY Times crossword puzzle for the rest of the evening.
I think everybody has felt the same way about it.
sounds nice, Scrabs
Times crossword.That might be easier compared to this. Not for me, of course.
at least I have spotted one of Ata's worms.
It is one of my weekly highlights---diving into a tough crossword.
Only Ata would be pleased if you said 'I saw a worm and thought of you.'
too true, lol
never tried english crosswords. Might be fun, Scrabs! Though probably too hard for me.
I think you'd manage fine.
The NYT puzzle is the best--tricky, sneaky, full of cleverness. I like a real challenge that makes me think and think and think.
not sure, might be too hard because one has to know a lot of synonyms to be good at crosswords. But worth a try! But will not start with the NY Times one for sure.
I, on the other hand, do easy easy crosswords. It even says easy on the cover in big letters. That way I can finish and feel smart.
and why not, Uni!
The clues have multiple meanings so you really have to be careful.
oh nice!
The Times often makes me mad. I think I have the meaning, but they are playing with the words and leaving me in the dust. I can only get tenor twenty words.
My dinner is ready, so I will bid adieu. Bye everyone.
I am always impressed with those who do the times! Happy evening, Scrabbler
enjoy, Scrabs, both dinner and the puzzle.
hahaha Uni, you typoed yourself into the sin bin!
Bye Scrabbler. To the PB Uniquity.
Rubbish. Not even a word I needed :( **Hot pool nap
Or hot tub. Whatever.
not great for the brain but so nice for the body, a hot tub
Well, time for me to go. I'll give the grid a well-aimed kick on my way out. Have a nice evening!
night Haz, sleep well
Hey has anyone here had a pet on Prozac?
Bye!
no never
Au revoir~
They put my Dog on Prozac as he is excessively nervous, and well, no he is so excessively not nervous, i am not sureabout it.
It could be also the anti itch meds.
what does the doc say?
why not give him rescue remedy or look at changing his diet instead of Prozac which has soooo many cautions for humans
Have you tried apple cider vinegar and water as a spray for the itching?
oh wow, the other 8 makes up for a lot of this grid. Very nice find!
hi Babs
Well, his diet is good, and the itch medicine is just hydralizine, but he really has some pacing and such....
He doesnt have the normal seperation anxiousness its different.
hi, Sprite! haven't been on here in a lonnnng time!
Ithink it could be the hydralizine.
glad you are now, Babs :)
What's the anxiety to do with?
Thanks, Sprite!!
I have no idea, I think its his breed and his inbred ness though it could have to do with the recent move yet again.
I need to figure out if its either or both, or just the one day at the vet that made him very tired.
hi all
rescue remedy would be really good...a few drops a day in water...get at any health food store
They have a large yard.
could also be the case, especially for an emotional dog
I would prefer to have him on nothing if its going to make him this sleepy, but I think its the antihistamine, which he needs right now.
hi TOwl!
rescue remedy is worth trying. Bach remedies are very good.
Hello, sprite. Is the little lion behaving?
hey spritey! any one else watching the derby?
hi BabbleRabble, good to see you. Yes, he is, most of the time. Pushing his limits at other times. Very happy little lion it is.
not me, TOwl, sorry. Having fun?
and please can some one clue the ce that's not the gas ce6?
ce4
C = French summer
i love a good horse race, though haven't seen many money horses in person.
yes, but i also like and trust this vet very much, I have been through 3 vets in Fl. This one is the only good one so far.
er ... c + french summer
ty pini. you hit the only french word i know, form crosswords
I want aclue for the gas?

ty, pini to the rescue! and a babblet to boot!
well, I'm still missing 78 words, but had that one, so it was easy to narrow down! :)
OH My, I was shopping and kept thinking I was forgetting something, sauce for lasagne. oops. No lasagne
it is 0.27 am here and I really must go to bed. Ha4 to leave you guys, but without sleep life isn't as much fun for me (and my kids). Thanks for the company, enjoy the grid!

24 left...I am starting to see the light! As for cable - I put the tv on but I don't enjoy it. I watch a lot of older shows on dvd. Re-watching Third Rock From the Sun at the moment. I LOVE our library.

Hi all...need a miracle cure for urinary tract infection....any suggestions? Already have cranberry juice
Ouch, Chiley. I've no knowledge on that front :(
I'm assuming antibiotics or something similar are prescribed as well?
Antibiotics are generally the best cure.
TO, I am very fond of Law and Order and Star Trek re runs....
As well as sports coverage.
I wont finish this grid, but I want to. I have 62 left!
Hi all
Well, I finished the F's
congrats on the F's, red!
Hi Pam, thanks, this grid is a toughie.
Thanks for the warning! 8^)
any help with the E from the top right corner?
Oh I got the babblet bird.
eu 4 -- monetary unit
eu4 = foreign currency
Bert and er*i* and the foreign money.
thanks Verbal andUniquit.
any helpfor the middle I? I have no ne of the 5.
Muahahah. FINISHED!
in + **w your boat
wtg uni
If you are bad at something, you are in***. Another one is similar, just change a vowel.
YAY Uni!
Whooo Hooo Uni!
By these clues, you may in*** the answers and I hope you have enough in** to get them.
Oh geez, I need a few fish.
thanks.
Thanks. I honestly didn't know if I could do this. How've you been coming along Pini?
been wandering in/out...down to 68; 1 more and I'll have made it 1/2-way!
great, pini!
:) Have you got the residents of Batman
I have 50 left.
*Batman's city? (Borrowed this great clue)
I can't in*** the word you are cluing with in**, uni...
I know batmans city but I dont see it in grid.
in + the re***ance section of the library. TO check your in**rmation.
The 'punk' word that is not accepted (go**) + stalact***s and stalagm***s).
thanks, had the first part not the second, uni. now i have the 411`
Oh yes I have that one.
There are lots with the ending like minerals or gasses.
my largest grey box yet! I5/5 - thanks!
49 left. whoo hoooo, I started to have issues at 70 left.
I was ready to quit forever at one point. Darn this addiction. Babble sucks you in.
I has issues when I learned I would have to do the list manually!!!
I'm pretty good at not being too addicted in fact I rarely finish though I play a lot.
since I am not a frequent list user, (which is probably why I dont finish...) I havent had that problem.
8^), red
Pam, the vet wants to put Teulu on prozac.
He is on Hydroxizine for hot spots and is so dopey already.
Have you tried other mood things? rescue remedy?
Why does s/he want to use prozac?
He really doesnt have a mood issue, he was just very restless.
and feet licking.
well, not that I always run with the list first...I do like the idea of having it available should I run with it
I have heard great things about hydroxizine. I am lucky about the Tavist!
I think the frequent moves have caught up on him....
I forgot about the feet licking...
Well The hydrox works, but I miss my hyper dog.
LOL! I'll bet you do miss that!
Pini, I like the list, I am just usually too lazy to drag it out, I dont have expert.
I am thinking I will use the hydrox until the 2 spots heal and then see where we are.
You definitely want the spots to heal....
Oh I do.
well, the one thing I like about the "list" in expert is that even when it's hidden the good words turn green and the bad ones turn red... ;)
Now Harry Potter is On, yay. I like the music.
He's such a nervy dog, but I hate to put him on a drug like prozac.
The last time a Harry Potter was on ABC, i thought it was cut to shreds--very disappointed... I want to see the whole movie...
Have you tried rescue remedy?
hey, redT, give the dog a placebo.... fool him
Oh well, hope they show enough for me.
LOLOLOLOL babble!!!!
LOLOLOL babbler
Maybe I need the placebo.
I could sure use one once in a while....
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
Hello Min!
Hello car.eeyore!How are you?Welcome to the puzzle
I am well! Had a crazy busy day, but turning out to be a nice evening!
I was having a tri-polar conversation with me,myself and I.
I have those all the time...especially when I thing I am speaking to my boys but they are not listening!
hi all
Good evening!
Any GH words?
Hi jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
I have the list in my profile car.eeyore if you need it.
Great! TY Min!
There are no gh words,but ghetto's a phantom today
Pancake is my phantom today!
And the C in the corner is driving me into fits! It doesn't go with anything I want it too!
I keep trying to type packet
ce4 = c + french summer
Oh,GOOD phantom car.eeyore.That would've been a wonderful icon for the phantom theme the other day
I have tried packet.
hi everyone!

hi lbd
Hi lbdawger! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Mine has been apron.
my phantom was ketchup

Hi Min! i'm doing well. and yourself?
there's one in mine too (compliments of grannyrose)
Yes, I have tried apron and iron today several times.
fetch was my phantom
as well as fuet, fute, frute and none of them are actual words.
Well we all have a list in our profiles. Great resources
my phantom: jaculiferous
not me :-)
LOL BR! Didn't even know that was a word!
Hello BabbleRabble!How are you? Welcome to the grid
and that would mean...what br?
BR always has the most exotic phantoms.
having arrow-like prickles
I think we might have to ask Jacula what that means
jacula should know immediately!
Clue for the CE 6 please?
this is the best Harry Potter movie out there. Prisoner of Azkhabhan.
ce + color sun turns skin + vowel
I am watching it too red

hi jilli
Your extinct animal's better looking than mine jillibus
well, I'm just past halfway -- been out all afternoon
hi jill
is your picture squished, min? Or is the glyptodon a hunchback?
I think that it's a hunchback because of its shell, but it also could be squished too jillibus.I am not too sure
I wish more people had oosted extinct animals -- I'm always interested to see what others choose
jm?

Well, it has water and gravel and one filter is running...and some dead plant material is cycling.
If I have time next week I'll go over to St Augustine for fish.

The tank needs to get some bacteria in it and i dont like to risk feeder fish, sooo.

Hi all. Scrabs, how did you make out at work after the last time I chatted with you?

Congratulations CiociaJudy on fireworks! Good for U
hi ciocia
hi judy
Hey TO. I saw earlier that you didn't get any plants but joined the Garden Club!!
I am talking to another practice about a job. I ignored Boss Richard Head's tantrum of an e-mail.
Hi jmc and ping and min and kaz and harp
you go Scrabs!
well i said i would join...they sem nice enough
That was a couple of weeks ago, CJ -- she is back home
cool, scrabs
I am done! I have fireworks!ep7/36 was my last word
scrabs, what set him off?
I must depart the tyranny of Dr Head! It will never get better and the stress is not healthy at all.
wtg min!!
Yippee Minveryork!
I couldn't remember when she said she was going, GW!! Half-zheimer's settling in my brain!
Despite my best efforts, I have been kept away from the log due to work stress and illness... the work is lessening a little as we have just started our new fiscal year, but we are working hard to avoid layoffs due to the slow economy
Woohoo Min!!!!!!!!!!
wtg,min!
wtg min!
It is nice to see you here, GW
Hi magazinemom! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
Well, Scrabs, you need to look out for YOU!!
I'll be here off and on for clues until the flip if needed.
Yes, GW, I've missed seeing you in the chat.
doing well min, thanks!
it's nice to be seen, Scrabbler
Hey, MM!!
I am proud of myself for deciding to find a new job. I must divorce myself from the narcissist. He is controlling, critical and a bully.
Judy! How are you?
hi mm
Fine, MM. And you??
hey TO
you go scrabs! if you don't look out for #1, no one else will
those damn narcissists are a PIA, scrabs. I work with one too but not as bad as yours.
good for you scrabs
doing great Judy- just got back from a birthdya party at the natural history museum. Fun stuff!
how many narcissists does it take to put in a light bulb
hi ruru
hey jm
I am burned out because the office atmosphere is toxic.
none - ruru -- they give off enough of a glow on their own
Hi ruru
new job .. new job..new job..
good answer grey!
you got it grey..lol
Sounds wonderful, MM. I've been trying to get all my outside work done--deck, patio, front porch, garden!!
8-D
ROFL GW and Ruru
judy- come to my house when you are through with yours :-)
((SCRABS)))
hahahahaha MM
Hi lbd, ruru
calling for rain here tomorrow, MM. I'm hoping not; need to do a lot of outside stuff right now.
It is scary to make a change, but it is time. And when I resign all I will say is that I need to work closer to home. There will be no discussion of any other "whys".
it has rained here incessantly- we've had over 5 inches!
I am going to take my headache to bed see you all monday (sunday is just too crunched)
night jmc
Today was sunny and beautiful, about 60.
yes, Scrabs. change is tough. went through that a while back but it all worked out.
nite jmc. hope you feel better
rest well, jmc
Bye JM. Sleep well and the headache will be gone.
*moving in with Scrabs*
good night, jmc
sweet sleep, JMC
MM, I have friends in Houston. Horrible down there.
Come on over, Judy. I have lots of room.
Hello rururocks! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
Yes, heard about that!
*but only for the summer; too snowy in the winter??*
HI minver..thank you.
Tomorrow is tennis, Scrabble festival and then dinner--with 3 friends.

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

nitey nite scrabs & lbd
GW, has your health improved? I sure hope you are feeling better.
well I'm not going to finish, so I'm off to upload pictures of the bday party. Night all!
GW's headed to the PB! *hands out cosmos*
good night MM. sweet dreams
Getting there, CJ -- will know for sure on Monday if I need more antibiotics
night mm
*sending good health vibes to GW*
Adios magazinemom!I will see you tomorrow in the log
The most annoying part about my current symptoms is that I have a cough that is preventing me from getting good sleep -- I keep waking up
well that sucks, GW!!
Cough medicine doesn't help GreyWoulf? My allergies makes me sneeze and my eyes really itch and water.
I don't really get sick anymore
I feel more sorry for the kids -- while I don't need a lot of sleep at night -- if I don't get at least four hours uninterrupted, I have a horrible temper the next day
take naps to catch up GW
Sundays are great for afternoon naps
Min -- for some reason, this cough is only related to how I am positioned in the bed -- and stranger yet... it only occurs when I am on my side
hmmmm naps. I remember those.
they are sooooo delicious
I am not a nap kind of guy, ruru -- whenever I take one, I always wake up feeling more out of step than refreshed
well, time to close up shop here. need to get up early to beat the rain tomorrow. hope to see everyone tomorrow. nite all. :)
that's too bad..
*PB for me*
night judy..hagd tomorrow
I am off to cook dinner too.. later GW ..good luck and get better
Goodbye CiociaJudy!I'll see you tomorrow in the chat
sleep well, CJ -- so long ruru
Goodbye rururocks!I will see you tomorrow in the log

hey, peeps
Hello tygerbryght! How are you? Welcome to the grid
hey, min
I'm very self-indulgently sticking my nose in for a minute. I've gotta take another hiatus from playing Babble to nurse my legs. :(
I just changed my icon. Had an extinct animal before
I clicked to see what it was, and found the NPR logo :)
you can imagine what extinct animal I'd have chosen if I'd been participating, I bet :D
Don't remember what it was. Let me see if I can find it. I'll look it up on Google pages to see if I can get it.
The Saber-toothed tiger?
I'd love to know what the saber-tooth looked like. probably didn't have stripes, though
of course! you know me! ;)
we didnt have a list for this grid?
striped species aren't all that common, after all
Hi MLFAN17! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
I'm using the one in Pini's profile MLF. She's just left so you can get it by scrolling down a little.
Min!!!!! Long time no see
well, I'd better get outta here. I'd hoped to "see" more people in the chog that I know, but it is the weekend, after all
Had a list in profile, but then I changed it. lbdawger and Pinikula both have lists in their profiles MLFAN17
nytol
Hello ChrissieDee! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
Thanks
Hey, tygerbryght my extinct animal was a glyptodon.
Hi Min. Keeping my head down to try and finish the grid.
Goodbye tygerbryght!I'll see you tomorrow in the log
TA 6
add t** end to the end of the ta4 before it
(back to see what happens at flip)...
A ta 6/33 word is ta 4/8 plus a male pronoun bleugirl2
I bet I know what will happen at the flip, the grid will change Pinikula.What are the chances that I'm right?
well, shoot...you're takin' all the fun out of the suspense, min!!! LOL
and the million dollar question is whether or not we'll have a list for when we get desparate!
I have a feeling we will have no list, but babblers are nice enough to provide a list in their profiles though.
ain't that the truth!! :)
i know i will regret this but TE 4/4
i am ready for the flip. this grid is giving me fits!
te4/4 = nipple?
like i said, regret it. FISH #2!
last grids have been hard to see easy words, for me anyway
agreed
I only got half way on this one
UGH!
Pini told me these grids are way too easy for her ... looking forward to a challenging one
* blink * Pardon me?????
can I get a clue for the te5/12 before the robber please?
I said WHAT????? :)
no, I mean the th5/12 before the robber
