12:28 am

oh dear, DR!

12:28 am

12:28 am

I'm so sorry. The young woman who had the heart attack?

oh, dr, so very sorry for your loss

12:29 am

yes Westie- thank you for the warm thoughts

12:29 am

young?

12:29 am

I remember you talking about her little boy. How is he doing?

12:29 am

yes JIlli- I believe she was 41- with a 9 yr old son

12:30 am

those o's are eluding me

12:30 am

He is confued and angry and beyond sad

12:30 am

omg!

12:30 am

a family friend has taken him in for now

12:31 am

all the o's are 4/4

12:31 am

hi arb

12:31 am

awww big fish... missed years duh ty nbt

12:34 am

Yes to both of you! like I sa4... rough day

12:34 am

12:40 am

So, she's a cradle-robber, like that Demi Moore!

12:41 am

just telling you the first line of the song

12:41 am

why are women cradle-robbers but men can marry kids decades younger?

12:41 am

Truth is he had a crush on a teacher

12:42 am

I heard that too bugs but I heard babysitter lol

12:42 am

Men can be cradle-robbers too, alas

12:42 am

could be west. Memory is not what it once was

12:42 am

oh, I think I found the song

12:42 am

from what I remember about teen age boys I surely wouldn't want one

12:43 am

I seem to recall Letterman continually mocking Michael Douglas over Catherine Zeta-Jones

12:43 am

they seem happy

12:44 am

did Letterman finally get married?

12:44 am

still can't find that fr 8

12:44 am

In 2009, and no, he's not telling anyone Regina's age

12:48 am

sounds like a deoderant to me

12:48 am

Who put that bikini on the Colossus of Rhodes, westford??

12:48 am

still don't see it -- only one I can think of ends with an m

12:48 am

rbud, lovely icon choice

12:48 am

lol erda not me

12:48 am

ty, I love the colors

12:50 am

I have a little Colossus of Rhodes story. Way back home, when someone was bragging too hard, someone would counter with "His Rhodus, hic salta!!" (continues)

12:51 am

west -- most interesting. Makes me think of Ozymandias, King of Kings...

12:51 am

It turns out there was a braggart in old Greece whoi said he could jump over the Colossus of Rhodes. So they brought him to Rhodes and said: "Here is Rhodes, now jump!" (Hic Rhodus, hic salta!

12:52 am

I am yet to run into someone in America who ever heard of it.

12:52 am

great story, erda!

12:52 am

love it erda

12:52 am

well, I am leaving 42 words for tomorrow...

12:52 am

great story erda now I'm sure there are people who think they could jump over my little state

12:52 am

Alas, never heard it, Erda, but it's a great story

12:52 am

gnight all

12:52 am

nobody in America knows Latin any more *dodges brickbats*

12:53 am

well done DR. I hope you can sleep tonight

12:53 am

TY jilli, Bugs, westford

12:53 am

take care DR keep your friend close

12:53 am

12:53 am

ty Douglas

12:54 am

night DR -- the ravelled sleep of care...

12:54 am

Thanks again for all the warm thoughts. I appreciate it

12:54 am

well done dr -- you're way ahead of me

12:54 am

Night, Nan

12:54 am

Victor Davis Hanson said four years of Latin would do wonders toward arresting the decline in American education

yw dr take care

12:54 am

It would take more than that, Douglas...

12:56 am

I so enjoyed Latin could have had something to do with our teacher too

12:57 am

It's a very useful language, though dead -- it is reflected in so many others...

12:57 am

I hated Latin. With the absolute stupidity and rigidness of youth I thot it was such a waste because I was not about to bump into any dead Romans

12:57 am

Alas, yes...is there any hope? Or should we just Babble while America crashes into ruins?

12:58 am

do you feel differently now bugs?

12:58 am

four years of teaching could probably do the same, LOL!

12:58 am

Not much can be done, alas...so let's Babble!!

12:59 am

Yes but not enuff to begin studying again!

12:59 am

seems like nooner should be a word?

1:00 am

jilli said that already lol

1:00 am

Has been tried many times, RuRu

1:00 am

no kidding

1:01 am

There is a word very similar to nooner...

1:01 am

not quite the same feeling though dougie

1:02 am

semper babblonius...?

1:05 am

no kidding, ruru, lol

1:06 am

ruru, I asked before but you disappeared -- are you reading Merle's Door or is it a no go for you?

1:06 am

I haven't started it jilli.. I am trying to finish another book first.

1:07 am

oh, ok

1:07 am

it is next in line..

1:07 am

the one I am reading I wish I hadn'tstarted

what is it about?

1:08 am

It is a new Dan BRown book.."Digital Fortress"

what is this one about ru?

1:08 am

Not that new ruru... and not that good, LOL!

1:08 am

I got stuck in an airport and looked around for something to read.. I like his other book ANgels and Demons... an

1:09 am

On that note...night all!

1:09 am

It's about "Lessons from a Freethinking Dog"

I read the DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons.. and one other one I can't remember right now

1:09 am

Hollywood will probably make Digital Fortress into a movie too, with Tom Hanks starring and Ron Howard directing...what could go wrong?

1:09 am

Merle's Door, I mean

1:09 am

IT isn't very good.. thanks mom.

Ji Josh

hi dianne

you're nearly in the grid today

3:05 am

Observant I am not - didn't even notice that!

3:06 am

I should never leave to read my email

3:07 am

hello any who are left

3:07 am

Hi west

Hi West, Dianne & Josh

hi lyn

3:08 am

Hi lyn

3:08 am

good as usual josh

is there a list today?

3:10 am

I almost made it without the list last grid had 10 to go

i was able to go commando last grid

3:11 am

attaboy

the downside of going ahead and finishing is that i'm up late enough to say hello to the sun

3:12 am

me too I pretend I'm an early riser

3:13 am

people who get up early are the good people

they're weird

3:17 am

3:18 am

I used to sleep till midday until I had my first child many years ago. Since then I wake about 6 am

3:18 am

that's hard to do

3:19 am

children tend to get up early

3:19 am

lynn do you still have children at home?

3:19 am

From one of the greyhound adoption agency. Trainers give them up for adoption once they have finished racing or, as Stew was, if they are no good for racing

3:23 am

Any clues please for na 6/21

3:23 am

he was lucky you found him and I'm sure vice versa

plural of a 5/12, gran

there are 2 different plurals of that na5/12, that i can tell, a 6 and a 7

same thing with the ne6

3:24 am

They are lovely dogs for pets, have only ever met one who was a bit dodgy

3:25 am

Got that one - are there two ne6/21

3:26 am

I think some people believe they will run after anything because of their training

i have 2, gran, but i'm still missing 2 n's

3:28 am

Only 2 ne6

11 left

3:29 am

gj josh

3:30 am

Anyone need any clues before I go?

3:30 am

They do love to chase, especially when playing. Sadly for them we aren't, by law, allowed to have them off lead here which solves that problem. They spook easily too and could take off. At home they are never off the couch/bed though. Stew was prone for 16 hours yesterday, only went out for a wee break when I made him

3:31 am

I think I just may come back as a greyhound lol

3:42 am

4:53 am

very well thanks Zooz

4:53 am

good to hear Lynxxx :-)

5:03 am

Good morning/afternoon all.

5:04 am

Hello Haz.

5:05 am

Hazaurus! I've been meaning to say how much I enjoyed the Grad pics. :)

5:05 am

morning all, have problem....have 20 la`s ..says 22.....22 la`s ..says 20...and cannot find the missing " L " where every it is

5:05 am

Hello zooz and Lori! Glad you liked them. Can you still see the glow of motherly pride from here?

5:06 am

goodmorning Haz

5:06 am

Sorry mills, I'm missing 4 l's..... It should be no other way Haz! All that coddling you did as they grew up must have helped.... :p

5:06 am

Hello lynxxx, nice to see you.

5:07 am

oops, and g'd mornin mills

5:07 am

I know! Wrap in cotton wool and take care never to say boo.

5:07 am

Millsbooks, i have not gone to list yet, so do not know..sorry

5:10 am

i will go to list later and mark off and see if i can find it

5:12 am

I'm only missing 1 re, for me that's impressive!

5:12 am

It's unheard of.

5:12 am

Why isn't freon a word?

5:12 am

I'm jealous

5:13 am

It'll take me forever to find though. :/

5:13 am

Because enable says it isn't.

5:13 am

Enable is mean.

5:13 am

It's a trade name.

5:14 am

I should remember that by now, but apparently not.

5:16 am

Put a post-it note on the computer - Enable is mean, freon not accepted.

5:16 am

But, if I did that with all the words I try, the screen wouldn't be visible.

5:16 am

I'd have so many notes on the monitor, I'd never be able to see the screen.

5:17 am

lolol, great minds think alike. We'll skip the second part of that adage....

5:17 am

Yes, the second bit is rubbish.

5:20 am

bbl

5:20 am

Laters zooz!

5:20 am

Must set out the recycling bin. We eco-warrors are tireless. See you later, zooz.

5:21 am

Is there an re 8? Could it be that simple.

5:21 am

Shouldn't the staff take care of that sort of thing Haz?

5:27 am

no re 8

5:27 am

2x re7

5:28 am

Thanks muchly PMS, and g'd mornin'.

5:28 am

I have the 7's, so that helps a lot. Thanks again

5:29 am

good morning

5:30 am

G'd Mornin' Ehva!

5:30 am

2x lo8, fr8, ne8. Im still missing the fr

5:30 am

morning Eva

5:30 am

Back again.

5:31 am

fr8 - the movement for the liberation of the Loch Monster?

5:31 am

TY Eva - found it

5:32 am

thanks HAz!!!!

5:32 am

yw lynxxx

5:32 am

never knew that was a word

5:32 am

I'm not convinced that it is, Eva.

5:33 am

do you mean that you don't have total faith in Enable's literacy?

5:33 am

But who are with to argue with enable?

5:34 am

Funnily enough, I don't, Eva. But I think I'm not alone.

5:35 am

I suppose we'd mistrust any one dictionary. Although th OED would be nice

5:37 am

finished the Rs!

5:37 am

Maybe it's just that there's a perfectly good word already 'fr**dom, that would be most commonly used.

5:38 am

still missing 5 of the little miseries lynxxx

5:38 am

I wonder if Lori has managed the same feat, lynxxx?

5:38 am

***No, no she hasn't***

5:39 am

Oh, and thanks for the first 2 letters of my missing 8's Ehva

5:39 am

you

5:39 am

you're very welcome lori

5:40 am

the ne is interessting-a variant I'd never seen before, but ifyou keep playing around with the 7's you'll get it

5:40 am

Be back in a bit, have to do a favor for my neighbor.

5:41 am

See you later, Lori.

5:51 am

Down to a nice round 20...Goodnight everyone, see you tomorrow

5:51 am

Goodnight lynxxx.

6:00 am

Back. Sleep tight Lynx!

6:00 am

Welcome back Lori.

6:02 am

Afternoon, how is today's babble offering?

6:03 am

Good afternoon, FM. It's a nice grid, but maybe Lori has other ideas?

6:03 am

Gah, finished the top l. ***faints***

6:03 am

Mornin' FM! It's a gooder, more or less....

6:03 am

Tell me, I've heard her muttering away for ages :)

6:03 am

There we are, we're agreed.

6:03 am

I got down to 18 on the first sweep, so there's a clue.

6:04 am

The re's suck, naturally

6:04 am

Oh that bodes well Lori, you clever thing you!

6:04 am

I don't mutter. I just complain in a non silent manner.

6:05 am

LOL

6:05 am

But your lips do move, you're just not aware of it.

6:05 am

Exactly. Haz understands my many failings.

6:06 am

It's raining again and I have had to dig out some autumnal clothing today, who stole summer?

6:06 am

Absolutely. Phone...

6:06 am

Sumemr? We've not had any yet. The weather was terrible when Uni was home. Only got to the ebach once. :(

6:07 am

Wow, my typing gets worse and worse.....

6:07 am

oh what a shame Lori but I bet you both had a great time anyway!

6:08 am

OMG! Found my re! ***major smug*** Not gonna' mention the folly of it being re 4/7

6:08 am

Oh weather doesn't deter us. We had a blast. The Black Books party was a household fave. :)

6:10 am

Hah, and the word for veranda finishes my l's. I better stop, because I'm scaring myself.

6:10 am

And back. Just in time to see Lori covering herself in glory. I'm tempted to burst into a round of applause.

6:10 am

you're scaring me too! Guess I would really make a start on the grid. Haven't really got the brain power today (been up since 4am) :(

6:11 am

4 am is for the birds.

6:12 am

4 am is my world. It's poopy...

6:12 am

tell me! it's actually pre dawn and I think the doves that nest outside my office window weren't best pleased.

6:12 am

We have a family of housemartins nesting in the eaves. What a racket they set up, it seems to go on all the time.

hello.

6:13 am

Are you still not sleeping well, Lori? That's been ages.

6:13 am

Hello herin.

6:13 am

Hi herin.

6:15 am

Hadn't actually looked at the word total for today, 218 .... and so many e's!

6:15 am

I keep saying it'll pass sooner or later Haz. Not so far though lol

6:16 am

It's been months. You must be exhausted or maybe you've just got used to it?

6:17 am

Possibly just used to it now. Was quite irritating when it started, but now I just cope with it. It is what is is.

Waves hi. I think I have still have a challenge. Diving in

6:19 am

Of course, if you had a full night's sleep, your speed on this thing would be even more frightening. Truly awesome.

6:21 am

Good point Haz, the true genius would be shown and there would be vacant position for head of DENSA .

6:21 am

I know and there aren't many who could fill that position.

6:22 am

Morning all. Trying to work up the enrgy to get moving this AM. I'd like to know why any of the verbs *I* use that start with re never seem to be words according to enable!

6:22 am

DENSA is mine, and you can't have it! Mornin' Nef

6:22 am

Good morning Nef.

6:23 am

*ponders if Ata is up in the sky yet* Hi Nef, I know that feeling!

6:23 am

Ata's flight was at 11 I think.

6:23 am

Good morning Lori, Haz FM and herin

6:24 am

Gah, kept trying to 5/12 ending in e instead of i. Pooey.

6:24 am

ah yes that rings bells *wave a hankie in the direction of the Atantic*

6:24 am

Is Ata Hari off to Oregon already???? <-----

6:25 am

She is, Lori.

6:25 am

yes *sniff*

6:25 am

The break will do her good methinks even though we will suffer for it.

6:25 am

OOOH! 2 8's done on my own already! I was regretting starting this sized puzzle on a busy day; but maybe I'll do okay; 40 words alread in less than 15 minute

6:26 am

***Hands Nef the Babbler of the hour award*** :)

6:26 am

She's promised to keep in touch and not to forget about us.

6:26 am

definitely and especially as she is not exhibiting this year so no last min pressure to complete artwork etc.

6:27 am

Yes, her exhibitionism is always cause for concern.

6:27 am

Babbler of the hour award? Wow! I am SO honored! ;-)

6:27 am

*giggle*

6:28 am

Those artistic temperaments need to be swathed in freedom. heh

6:28 am

what is Ata doing?

6:28 am

Nobody has ever given me the babbler of the hour award. Where do I send my letter of complaint?

6:28 am

Babbler of the hour carries much more prestige than Babbler of the minute.

6:28 am

Send it to FM, clearly her fault.

6:28 am

Ata is going to Oregon for a six week holiday. That's her cover story but there are rumours of deportation and things. Not that we're ones to gossip.

6:29 am

6 weeks?? she told me 4 *wail*

6:29 am

No mention of any covert work if you please. All very hush hush.

6:30 am

*ignores Lori*

6:30 am

6 weeks is clearly not correct. Unless she was trying to spare your feelings, FM.

6:30 am

***ignores FM's ignoring me***

6:30 am

Yes, we must draw a veil over her hush hush work. It's top secret.

6:30 am

a six week holiday? Wow, *I* sure don't live right! I haven't had a vacation in well over 2 years; so am planning 4 days off in Mid-August and the last full week off then too. <pouting about 6 WEEKS off at once now>

6:31 am

We don't call her Ata Hari for nuthin', that's all I'm saying.

6:31 am

LOL!

6:31 am

Yes, but Ata is different.

6:31 am

LOL Nef I haven't had a proper holiday in so long it might actually be double digits.

6:31 am

oh dear, i have stalled at only 80 words...the list is looking tempting now.

6:32 am

wb zooz

6:32 am

We don't like to talk about how different she is. Okay, we do but you know what I mean.

6:32 am

Hi zooz

6:32 am

Hello FM :-)

6:33 am

You should take a leaf from my book. I'm on maternity leave (26 years now) and I'm easing my way into retirement.

6:33 am

All s's left. Luverly....

6:33 am

Welcome back zooz.

6:33 am

wow you have a book Haz??...what is it called...LOL

6:33 am

thanks Haz:-)

6:33 am

Haz can never be accsued of not having a plan.

6:34 am

It's called 'If I ruled the world' and contains all sorts of useful tips.

6:34 am

Her books is called Grammer and Spelling don't matter. <-----

6:34 am

LOL...i want a copy please.

6:34 am

phantoms: soft, idea, read. I won't admit that in less than 30 minutes I've tried them all more than once

6:34 am

I'll put you on the list, zooz.

6:34 am

***wait for it in 5,4,3,2...***

6:35 am

Grammar and spelling DO matter

good call Lori LOL

6:39 am

*sigh* I still have yet to start.

6:39 am

You'll enjoy it, FM.

6:41 am

I'm sure ! will but might save it till later, really should be working but needed a break away from Excel.

6:41 am

Enable doesn't like Slade. It must have a dislike of 70s music.

6:42 am

For once we have to applaud enable then!

6:42 am

I think so. Especially when they had all sorts of horrific misspellings on their records. Kum on feel the noyze and things like that.

6:43 am

okay, gotta go BBL (in about 13 hours, after work)

6:43 am

Bye Nef, have a good day.

6:43 am

6:44 am

Bye Nef. Treausre that Babbler of the Hour award.

6:47 am

Yes, yes. Typo of the year award winner....

6:47 am

6:47 am

Best laugh I've ever had that wasn't at my expense. :)

6:48 am

I'm just so glad that it wasn't done on the chat log.

6:48 am

it was a glorious moment for all concerned.

6:49 am

Thank heavens it wasn't mentioned here, what? :p

2:16 pm

2:16 pm

while there you can check out the gingerbread houses my personal fav

2:17 pm

yw

2:18 pm

this is the first game i've wanted to list for in a long time ... i am so stuck

2:25 pm

hello all! is indian not a word?

2:26 pm

proper noun apparently

2:26 pm

thanks

2:26 pm

also not possible on this board

2:27 pm

yeah i see, i tried putting it in about 20x's and it wouldnt let me

2:29 pm

that's called a phantom

2:30 pm

where's babrab and his random clueing when you need him??

2:31 pm

sorry, was interrupted by family who just came back.. were at flying horses, ak

2:32 pm

did they have a good time?

2:32 pm

of course... this whole week is about good times, nothing else is allowed!

hi all -- and yes, most word games do not accept proper nouns, including this one

2:33 pm

hi gwen

2:33 pm

hi bdg

2:34 pm

But al4/4 is ok for some reason ..

2:35 pm

it has another meaning besides the name

al4 is not a proper noun. it's some kind of ancient dog breed

2:35 pm

like henry

2:35 pm

or john

if a word is both a regular noun and a proper noun, it's okay for the game

some slang is also not acceopted, like nads (!)

2:38 pm

too many rules! they should all be words

2:39 pm

speaking of words ... I need 22 more

hey, if it accepted proper nouns you would have thousands more "words" you would have to find, like Kroger and Madagascar

2:39 pm

I'm new to this game. Can you tell me what your codes mean - like 'al4'?

2:39 pm

good point bdg and go wildcat, go!

2:40 pm

four letter word beginning with al

buff, we try not to use a word here that is in the puzzle. so the 1st two letters, then the length of the word.

2:40 pm

al4/5 would be the same, with a point count of 5

You can get lots of clues: click on the tiny green link at the bottom for Lickety's Babble Clues Lickety gives you the first two letters of each word, plus how many letters in the word, plus the word's point value The point value sometimes helps you figure out if you need a word with a high-scoring letter in it, and things like that

2:41 pm

Thanks a lot!

example: fe6

2:42 pm

doren go play your lex turn

2:43 pm

deon

hi, hydra - just came in on your question about turtles - yes, very good pets. We lost our 17-year-old turtle last year.

Donnie ... short for Donatello (the ninja turtle - he belongs to a boy can u tell?)

3:11 pm

3:11 pm

Hi JBV. I would never have considered a turtle as being a good pet but you've changed my mind!

3:12 pm

fo6 more fo4/8

3:12 pm

well, in my book, a good pet is one you never have to walk! :)

so, a little boy, who is accustomed to calling his baby brother a sn4, goes to sunday school with a friend, and when he comes home, he says to his dad, okay, i know what a sn4 is, but how do i lead one into temptation?

3:12 pm

One grade better than the fo4/8

3:12 pm

LOL JBV!

3:12 pm

PB for you Kazzer :-)

4:53 pm

i know - anything nice in there tonight

4:53 pm

Kazzer, do you have a favourite Pratchett book?

4:54 pm

I`ve been good today..not been in there once..LOL

4:55 pm

ooh difficult one - probably the dark side of the sun bugs

4:55 pm

closely followed by Lords and Ladies

4:56 pm

and the one with Neil Gaiman

4:56 pm

not too sure about Nation but its growing on me

4:57 pm

I have a picture of Greebo on my office wall!

4:57 pm

I haven't read Dark side of the sun so I will look for that one. I loved the Thief of Time if that is the one with the ineffable sweeper

4:57 pm

Nation crept up on me too. I think it has a lot to do with his current health issues

4:58 pm

and a little Gaspode next to my pc

4:58 pm

you might be right - Dark Side of the Sun has nothing to do with the Disk World

4:58 pm

We don't have the paraphernalia here. A little Gaspode should help with tuff grids

4:59 pm

I had 4 boys - call them the wee free men

4:59 pm

I live about 20 minutes drive from Wincanton, which is twinned with Ankh Morpork

5:00 pm

really? does it have a river running thru it?

5:00 pm

can you walk accross it?

5:01 pm

I have all the books and most of the paperback versions are dogeared and sort of dried out where i've dropped them in the bath - not sure about that bit with the river but there is a shop called the Cunning Artificer and they make models of the buildings etc

5:02 pm

they had Hogswatch Night celebrations as well - last year it was 29th November

5:02 pm

What fun! I must plan a trip there for Hoswatch with my youngest son who loves the books as much as I.

5:03 pm

hi all!

5:03 pm

Hogswatch, sorry

5:03 pm

entering chat with 19 to go...

5:03 pm

I will look up the place on the net

5:04 pm

I thought Small Gods was good as well - when i lived in Aberdeen i got a couple of books signed - got a the graphic novel of the Colour of Magic signed

What books are you discussing?

5:04 pm

Terry Pratchett's

5:04 pm

Hello Nrkii

Ah, okay. Don't care for those. DH likes them, tho.

5:05 pm

You are my hero Kazzer. He came to Victoria a couple of years back which is about 3 hours drive away. My friend got him to sign Thief of Time for me

5:05 pm

my friend got me hooked - me her and her daughter went to a party dressed as the witches - I am Nanny Ogg

5:06 pm

My husband eats what we call dwarf bread and one of my boys had a cat called Carrot. His girlfriend wouldn't agree to Vimes

5:06 pm

that a shame - I think Vimes has a good ring to it for a cat

5:07 pm

5:08 pm

its bizarre but i love the idea and it fits with the way i think as well

5:08 pm
