Phantom:
if imprisoning is to incarcerate, to free should be to carcerate, but it aint
incarceration: 1536, from O.Fr. incarceration, from M.L. incarcerationem (nom. incarceratio), from incarceratus, pp. of incarcerare "imprison," from in- "in" + carcer "prison, an enclosed space," of uncertain origin. The verb incarcerate is first attested 1560.
crikey, aint that the truth
to free must require an affix to the root "carcer."
preach it bro
help with my last 2 words...re 5/14 and we 7/40 puleeeze
oops we 7/60
good news, diz, we7 only exists on licketys, one of those phantom, glitchy word thingies
thanx gort

Between dawn and nightfall is an abyss of agonies, felicites, and cares. The face that looks back from wasted mirrors, the mirrors of night, is not the same face. The fleeting day is frail and is eternal; expect no other Heaven, no other Hell.

"One door away from Heaven, We live each day and hour. One door away from Heaven, But it lies beyond out power To open the door to Heaven And enter when we choose. One door away fromHeaven, And the key is ours to lose. One door away from Heaven, But, oh, the entry dues." --- from the book of counted sorrows

Hello Annie :-)
and Boo!
howdy boo
Hello Boo
annie,boo, today is scrabbs last day.get a nice icon on for her to note the event
I have missed you all. I just got back from Boston as I attended my neice's wedding
ack it didnt work..I tried, I really tried to get a bunny for my icon. Is Scrabbs here yet? I just cant do it. Please bear with this illerate computer person/
http://tinyurl.com/ya8g8ky
get one there annie
Hi boo
right click on bunny of coice annie and select "save as" and it will go to your desktop
I dont know how to get it into my profile. God know how I got the one I have.
choice
I did that and it did not go to my desktop.
hi annie and boo
under my account,you will see your pic,under that you will see edit.then selct browse and grab your new icon off the desk top
Hi andree, lynxxxxie and anyone I missed while I have an anxiety attack about a poor bunny for Scrabbler.
:((
the instructions in your account are very clear annie , even i can manage it , its only taken me 3 years to be able to change my icon
ok, I'm all ready with my happy bunny :-)
thats easy Annie goto save it again and before you click save look at where it sayas it is saving it too...like my documants
lol Andree
LOL, andree
probably ended up in her downloaded or recieved file
funny but true i'm afraid
hi une
Okay dear babblers, I will give it one more shot
oh dear my spelling was terrible, sorry about that, but you get the point.
going to look for a bunny
hey, andree, annie, zoom, crossy, and lynxxx!
if not,i can send you one via msn messanger annie;0
une!
Hello Une :-)
hi Une
love your Rabbit Une :-)
:-D
looks like a cousin to ping's, eh? :-)
lol
yaaa! bunnies everywhere!!!
yee haw!!!!
this will be a nice welcome for scrabs
too bad babble cant handle animated gif,s;/
i can see yours, crossy
you just need to refresh
cool,but with the right set up ,mine hops up and down
i can see the lil fella fine
andree, love your icon!!
oh, ok :-)
andree's icon rocks;)
it's weird, crossy -- sometimes they work and sometimes not -- haven't figured that out . . .
np as long as i have a rabbit in there im good to go
i think they only work in the accounts area..not babble chog itself.
yours hops if i click on it crossy
ahh there we go,if you go into my profile,he wiggles his butt at you;)
Good afternoon all. There is a far easier way to change your icon. Find the icon you wish to use. Copy the address and then paste it into the fetch icon box.
mine is pinched from trif, with her permission ofcourse
this one adress has 81 bunnies...
http://tinyurl.com/ya8g8ky
thanks for that Frances..will remember that in future..and hello :-)
Don Draper bunny: http://tinyurl.com/yaggf6x
there I changed it in honor of Scrabb
cute, boobear!
oh thats a good one Boo, love the whiskers moving..lol
Hi zooz.
you may have to refresh or restart babble boobear..or i may need to;)
*Sob* I am back sans bunny. I found funny bunnies that were perfect. I tried to no avail but under the borealis a bunny is there. It is just too dark to see it. Best I could do.
i think it is you crossy, as i see it
there we go,i see boo,s blue bunny
and a nice bugs on frances
annie ,look back 7.27 frances gave an easier way
andree, will try frances' way....your icon is hilarious
clue for aa 4/5
sorry was losing myself in the grid..lol, yes try that way Annie should work perfectly
like a sigh boo
use google and select images after you type in bunny jpegs or gif,s and do as frances says and c+p the addy
easy peasy
cant have poor annie rabbit-less;/
all this rabbit and no mint jelly:)))
I just cant do it. I dont know what I am doing wrong. Will have to stay with the borealis today. Going to be bald if I keep this up. *getting crossy mint jelly* Thank you all for trying to help this computer illiterate.
just gravy with mine thx
mm hungry now brb,i hear a fried egg and bacon sammie calling..semi-poof
at least you tried Annie.
zooz, thanks. I love your icon too.
lol, thanks, i think Scrabs must be nervous Yet excited too, not sure if she will babble today or not.
we 7/60 any clues please
we had better keep these up for a couple of days in case she isn't on today
its mrp's birthday wednesday, tuesday your time
Annie if you find what you want on, for example, Google Images, highlight the address of the image and copy it. Then go to you account page on Babble. Select edit (under your icon) then lower down is a box marked 'fetch icon'. Paste the address there and enter. You may need to refresh a couply of times to see it.
sorry Gran, i do not have that one yet.
Gran we7/60 only exists in Lickety.
frances, I just cant do it. I dont know how to copy and paste.
Afternoon all, loving yrs zoos, I've updated mine too in honour of the day :)
ahh thanks for that Frances, so i will ignore that one then.
icons that is :)
hello FM :-)
Annie, highlight the address then right click and select copy. Then you paste the same way. Right click and select paste.
hi fmitch
clue for ac 5
cute Rabbit FM, whats the medal?
Andree so glad to have caught up with you, have felt for you and am with you. much hugs.
frances, will try again
thx fmitch
LOL don't know zooz, but I will declare it to be a medal for Scrabbler :)
LOL
yay a medal for scrabbler
Saw you were on soduku yesterday -a whole different site isn't it - no chat but just bare facts zooz.
i really want to go to bed but the suspense of annie changing her icon is killing me so i'll hang around a while
annie to highlight you need to left click and keep it clciked down drag the arrow across whatever you are high lighting and it will turn blue, then let go of the arrow key and then right click it to either cut or copy.
oh yes i was on there yesterday FM, i can understand why they were not speaking..lol, i gave up in the end, i must admit, i am not very good with numbers, did you finish ?
(((((fm))))
LOL, andree
yup. finished, been sucky duking as Haz calls Soduko since Dr_G started that site too
((((crossy))) - how lovely to see you!! Are you and yours feeling better now?
head and extremities fine,but it has settled deep in the chest.am fighting the good fight;))
what does my icon look like now?
clues for the two ac 7/32's pls
AAAH, done!
A rabbit inge - wtg :)
How is todays grid by the way?
a big rabbit too :-)
wabbits everywhere!!!!
I can't see it
ac7 ends with interest **** go up and down
refresh boo
just restart babble boobear and you will
Now now crossy - you behave this is Scrabs big day - so tender your instincts ;)
cute FMitch
Yours too Boo :) Lobs some bacon in crossys direction to keep him happy for the interim.

ooh yum chocolate easter egss :-)
crossy ducks as the women stampede for the choc easter eggs...
the ca6,21 is not making itself very clear for me to find :-((
Can anyone really enjoy a Cadburys Creme Egg? Is the calorific content worth it and does it really taste that good?
i am not a woman crossy, but i will still stampede for the chocoalte easter eggs..LOL
too sweet for me fm..cant handle it same for nanaimo bars

Thanks flosey and finished!
WTG Gran, congratulations
Good morning/day kids!
Good Morning Scrabbler - and a Very Happy Day for you I understand
Bunnies! Yay for bunnies!
I tried to change my icon, don't know if it took, I still see this Wales flag!
Last day of this job! New job tomorrow!
FM was hoping to see you but had to leave
Sending bunny wishes Scrabbler!
scrabs, hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi, scrabs - just changed my icon for you - see if it's there - FREE range bunnies!!!
cute bunny, flosey!
hi Scrabbler
I don't see it - can you?
i see it, jbv!
I see it JBV
I was just snuggling with Sebastian in bed, and then I grabbed Miss Bea in her room.
in honor of scrabbler's day of freedom!
do you see mine?
I see a blue bunny
enjoying the bunny-o-rama? LOL
That's a very big carrot, as one rabbit said to the other.
is that a big carrot or are you just glad to see me? LOL
that's a picture of free range bunnies on the campus of the University of Victoria (just found it on google)
thanks jbv - and yes, Victoria hospital also has many bunnies on the grounds
good one Une
:-D
must run -- BBL
I just refreshed, logged out and logged in ,and I still see my old icon - aerial view of the rain forest in Puerto Rico
I've been having the same problem jbv
I clicked on your icon, JBV, and my PC computer freezes up when I do that, and saw the free-range bunnies! How wonderful for them!
Yay Scrabs - check out my icon for you hun!!! All them best, with love :)
Hi Scrabbs
Hi FM & Boobear...and bunnies!
we changed our icons in honor of you, Scrabb
We babblers love you :) So have a great day!
Just wanted to say Hooray for scrabs!
I will bbl to attempt the grid
Last day! Last day! Some of my co-workers are very sad. They have been calling & texting me since yesterday.
Bye DR, nice to see you.
Scrabs....sending you joy and peace on your last day!

((()))
Bye FM
Enjoy your day Scrabs
Enjoy your last day Scrabbs, I'm heading back to bed, need a bit more sleep
I start at 1:00--3 hrs from now.
All the best, Scrabbs.xx
Good morning, all. Happy last day, Scrabbs!
Hello Judi. I'm off back to my chores. Just came in to wish Scrabbler well.
One day left Scrabbs and then you can put it all behind you. All my best wishes for the next episode of your life.
TY, Jacula, Judi & Frances!
My co-workers are texting me, sad about this being my last day. They will miss me.
Help with re 5/14 please, before stoking the furnace again
Guten Tag, Scrab,
Im back again without a bunny. Tried again. Giving up on the bunny icon but not giving up on my very best wishes for Scrabbs. All the best to you Scrabbs!!!
behold all those wabbits!
ok just popped in to say have a good day scrabs, will be back later, have to goto work now.
No worries, Annie. Rabbits tend to multiply on their own.
Judi, you just made me feel better
clue for re 5/14 please
Sorry, inge. Only have a re5/18 and re6/30 so far.
good morning
Annie, I had a heck of a job getting my rabbit intp the icon. I forgot how to do it. Then hubby helpe
Crossy was instructing people how to do it
was following crossy's and frances' instruction but still could not do it.
Well, there's your problem. Don't follow instructions from Crossy. (except for bacon recipes)
hi Inge, Merk, Annie, Zooz
Haha, judi
LOL...youre right
nice grid so far
Scrabbs!! There you are...You are released at last. Best to you, dear.
Blech .. Monday ..
TOR!
hi torgone
Hi Torgone
I am released when I walk out of the office at 7:30 pm, and I hope it is not any later than that.
Scrabbler, alle guten Wünsche fier; doe Zukunft
? Zukunft, Inge
*füdie Zukunft*
Is anyone enjoying this grid? I am not.
translate that please, inge
Oh Scrabbler, good luck with your new ca6/21 :)
Sorry, I cannot see the letters well
why not scrabs???
TY, SS, for wishes and clue!
Congrats on your new job! Hope you like it.
clue for the first cr 5
All good wishes for the future
You're welcome for both ;)
Hi SG. I am not easily seeing words so I don't like grids that make me struggle.
Maybe it will get better.
cr 5: a wooden container
understood. where is your new job - a clinic?
hello everyone.. and hey scrabs is tomorrow the big day?
ty
hi Dorens
don'
hi dorens
don't have to wish srabbler good luck, she won't need it. don't need to tell her to enjoy the new job, she certainly will. best wishes and all that. but this is the moment we've all been waiting for for years now, isn't it? great day
and hi annie, boobear and all others.
Good morning, Doren!
Scrabs - tell me about the new job!
Yes, I am being liberated from the tyrant. And i am sure he will be super well-behaved and kind today so as to not appear as the antagonist in the office, although everyone knows that he bullied me out of there
yes everyone does know that...e ven us!!
Chauvanist doctor?
Rural practice, SG. I will be at the Native American clinic one day weekly, and at the main office the other days. Farming families (I admire them so much), Amish, country folk, including many poor folks
Narcissist, micromanager, nitpicking, ubercritical
Awesome. I once new a guy who was a teacher on the res in Gallup NM
I HATE MICROMANAGERS!
God bless you, Scrabbler
He is fascinating to observe and to study, but not to work with/for.
the new job sounds very meaningful SCrabs
scrab, Jeremy said he knows your friend, not well, but he thinks he's "an interesting fellow"
There will be new challenges, for sure, but my new partners are stable, kind, trustworthy people + docs
Yes, he is interesting--ambitious in the medical informatics field
Go, Scrabs, go!!! My prayers are for you to be content and peaceful.
TY, SG
oh, and jeremy is taking his family to europe rather than come home for thanksgiving.. but he is going to geneva to speak at the WHO, as well as give a talk in England
What are his talks about?
wow Dorens- who is Jeremy ? friend or relative?
I want to know more about this new HIV/AIDS vaccine
interrelationship of pharmaceutical industry and medical profession. (that is in general. don't know specifics of this one). DR he is my son *proud mama speaking* (stid's not the only one)
Nice, Dorens!
No Stid is not the only proud mama and you should be! Good for him and good for you!
That's what I thought, Doren--same as his book. I would enjoy talking with him someday. Big Pharma makes me angry so often!
SG--go to cdc.gov for the latest on vaccines
I know Scrabs - just have not researched yet. Did research (social) in the 1980's before they knew it was a retro virus.
my problem is that there is this international organization that meets annually around thanksgiving and they're always asking him to speak .. which take my grandchildren out of the thanksgiving loop more often than not. they took Phoebe to Paris when she was 4 months old, then Berline the next year. now England . Scrab, you would enjoy it... wish we could snag him to come down here on the 17th. he'd probably really enjoy meeting you too
I was in med school when AIDS was being recognized. First name for virus was HTLV. A med school classmate died of AIDS less than 2 yrs after we graduated--was likely infected in college before virus was even known.
those were scary times, I remember
Doren, Jeremy needs to invite you to join them!
hi
I lost 15 friends.
jeremy who?
hi kje!
curious
Used to volunteer with HIV neonates.
assuming jeremy is the speaker?
I am trying to get my daughter the Gardasil without laying out $500!
yes, nanny available. (my son kj).. problem is i have two other kids who like to come here for thanksgiving. we will work something out sometime
Oh, dear, SG. How sad.
mom2--why doesn't your insurance cover cost?
Sadly, we have all lost far too many to that horrible disease.
Must grab something for breakfast--be back in a moment
They do.... I will get the money back... I contacted Merck, NJ D of Health Services, etc.... the problem is that insurance won't cover something not already given and Gardasil has to be the same lot #... so they have to order the whole vaccine and I can get the $$$$ back once the 2nd and 3rd part are given.
wow mom2 that can make it tough, sorry to hear it
Of course I just discovered that if I am uninsured my kid can get it free..... I won't lie about being insured, but believe me the though had crossed my mind.
bbs
Of course, if she has an adverse reaction (very rare from what I understand) to the first part of the vaccine then I am really stuck, as, obviously, she would not be able to receive the other two parts that I had already paid for.
mom2 - sorry it is all so crazy! i hope one day things in the med field will be better for all concerned.
Listen, I understand... doctor's offices don't want to get stuck holding the bag... but insurance companies could make an exception here... then if you fail to show up for the 2nd and 3rd parts of injection... they can bill you. Obviously they have some sort of program for the uninsured. I am still fighting the fight... who knows? Maybe I will win!
I used to work for an insurance company... if you make enough noise you get what you want... so I am making some noise. All I can do, really.
Keep fighting, mom2
Like I said.... if they have a program for the uninsured then can create a program for the insured. That's the tactic I am using. We shall see if it works. But, honestly, I simply do not have $500 to lay out for 3 to 4 months.
The funny thing is that my local councilperson actually told me to lie about having insurance... she said "they don't check, anyway".... I was like, really??? that is your answer???
I guarantee you that I would get caught anyway, LOL... I would die of embarassment!
good morning Mom 2
OK... diving into grid now!
Morning Boo
I don't know of any local insurances that work like yours, mom2
Last word I still cannot find or monkey. RE 5/14. Can anyone help please?
gee, Mom are you insured with Acorn? hehe

your welcome Annie
Hi everybody. Are those AC 7's related?,, And any clues for them please
ac + country in the Meditterean
I only have one and it's high card + the going price for something
all different
first is for something to stick together.
the ac is a measure of land
Thank you.
second is what needle-like tree leaves are
ac + greek letter
third is w.indian fruit & tree
icon test
changed it but i still see the ol' dalek 8-(
clue for 3rd ac 7 = high card + a cell phone and TV-making company, Moto****
have to refresh
i refreched twice, then re-launched. is it a dalek or a small furry animal?
I can see it in your profile, Book
thanks rb that was the one I couldn't find.. sitting here sucking up the clues...lol
hello ruru
but in the chat? (once i saw the dalek but everyone else saw the new one, so thus i ask)
dalek
HI annie
i went to your profile the first time. Now I've refreshed and it is puppy
crazy. going to refresh some more
NARF!
okay, back to game. narf.
narf?
bdg, sometimes you have to close babble and open again
yep, believe me, i've closed and opened i 3x now, and refreshed 4x now. NARF
now I understand Narf!
yup
no idea Gwen. I know it's happened to others tho. Babble is worse than any female for finicky!
go to "My Account" and see if it's changed there or not, sometimes it changes for me if I refresh there, not just "update profile"
another quirk, lol!
yeah. Wouldn't it be great if some of them were fun?!
still a dalek on "my account" but a puppy on my profile. i say again, narFFF!
ca 7 # 1 please
refresh in "my account", then?
well i have appointments to get to, gotta fly, POINK
ca and I hope you win the *****ry
ca 7 = ca + one of the Bronte sisters, Char*****

yay rbud -- thank you!!
yw
39 left for later, bye dear babblers
bye annie
is it me or are these c's killers
they're pretty tough, I agree, ru, been fighting them since last night
I got all the r's right away.. but the c's..sheesh
do you have the cr 6 that is a sort of embroidery, the cr 4/9 (rowing cr**) + something to ride upstairs in: **evator?
sounds like a "mean" word
I am missing one ce andf two co.. have the rest
I only have 3 ce's so far, ce 4, 6, 4
hello all, just getting in. how is the grid today?
gets rough in the later stages, at least for me
(since I'm not listing yet)
okay, well that's okay then. my goal is halfway before the computer battery runs out. Then I
then I'll read while it recharges!
Need 5 more C's, now that I count, ru
Hey Stid - I keep missing your mom. I cant wait to chat to her
hey soodles! I know she would love to have a chance to talk with you, too -- she made the same comment to me (about you) yesterday!
back again, Toronto friend just left to catch ferry to airport
hey flosey! do you get to breathe now for a bit?
lol stid, for 2 days - 2 days to clean up and ready to my friend from Aurora, Ont. she's coming out for 10 days, will be fun
wow flosey! you're amazing! I had ONE visitor for four weeks who didn't need me around (my kids' friend) and it almost did me in.
met this couple when we moved back east 1966, have been great friends ever since
had a bit of difficulty understanding the Welsh accent - plus they both spoke very quickly
oh! an OLD friend... LOL
does she still have the Welsh accent
yes, old and dear
THERE. NBT and down to 144. not bad.
her hubby (George's best friend) died a few years ago
go, stid, go!
no no, am referring to the Welsh couple who were with us for 10 days, left Monday
no, left Saturday
sorry about her great loss.
oh! I didn't know you were hosting Welsh folk!
the Welsh chap had been over 30 years ago as an exchange teacher, in George's dept.
neat! so he's a math/science guy?
yes, physics
having trouble with the co6/24, does anyone have a clue please?
have to say that is it strange for stidkid#1 to NOT be in a science class right now. With the requirement to take high school English as well as the college classes, he couldn't make it work with his schedule.
last te 6/18
is that the one that means to force someone to do something they would rather not?
please
sorry ru, don't have it
te plus an anagram of an oak or poplar.
I could be co2/24ed into it ruru.
Good morning/afternoon all.
Oh, and if I were you would be the co7/36
thanks you haz
ty ru
You're welcome, ruru.
and CadFan, tks
hey haz!
and cadfan !
hello Haz
Hello stidmama!
:) Welcome and Hello (I'm popping in and out without warning)
need the last ar5/10 please?
Hello flosey.
ar5/10 - ar plus French summer
so there's an extra word in Lickety? I see a we 7 there, yet I already have all the 7's in the grid list
thanks Haz
You're welcome, flosey.
(yes, gave up and listed at 50 left)
good for you rbud! (GO rbud GO)
Hello, friends.
hey BR!
Hello BabbleRabble.
the fig outside my window is rubbing against the gutter... makes an impressive squeak this year. And it has turned cold. Just hope it doesn't freeze before the figs are ripe!
oops. phone. back later
I think I need the first to 7 ?
nm
I found it
Think musically, ruru, and in Italian if you can.
did you get all your C's, ru?
The NWS is providing wind chills again, a sure sign Autumn has arrived. Patchy fog tonight.
Change the vowel at the end for another 7.
adjusts sounds on Pavoratti record
thanks Haz, needed that to7 and 8
Glad it helped, flosey.
oh, it's really chilly here today, too, with a brisk breeze - and there are leaves down all over the back yard - overnight. Sigh and brrr!
hmmm, and the second to7 even, thanks again
i don't gettttt it
I just need the ce 5/14 if anyone can help
Howdy, hurshy
how dee
Are the tornadoes gone, Rose?
ce5/14 - descriptive of the preceding ce4/6
ce + we don't need added ***ories
thanks haz
thank you flowey
Hello hurshy. Widor's to7 and fugue, anyone?
somehow that made it ring a bell, though i don't know why. i am so uneducated musically.
You need to move to Britain and spend your days listening to BBC and Classic FM.
On the radio, that is.
lol haz,that sounds like a replacement for novacane
yeah, me and ata just need to trade identities so she can live in the US and i can live in the UK
There's a thought, hurshy!
we have a lot in common, i think we should just tell the govt's it would be fair exchange and no robbery.
love your bunny, crossy, and crap, have to get ready for work, back later for my last 43
Bye rbud.
everone was doing bunnies for scwabbys last day
But you'd miss Wesley, hurshy. Think of that.
this is true.
I'm surprised that Scrabbler is moving straight into her new job. I'd have expected her to take a few days holiday to detox herself from the poisonous boss.
as was i,but she starts tues
one doesn't always have a choice about such things. or maybe she thought the new job would BE the detox.
That's true. I hope she is really happy, her boss sounds like the worst kind of micromanager.
scrabs is a pretty strong-willed woman, and she has apparently worked with at least some of the folks in her new place before.
Or should I say, soon to be ex-boss.
well she is smart,you dont be a dr by being a fool or pushover,i imagine she only put up with richard head for her patients and no other reason
if i let down a bucket into a well, wouldn't you say i'd be a lo5er?
so im sure she will shine in the new polace
I would, hursh!
yes, cross, that's about the size of it.
oooh. I got an 8~
LE? i have that, plus a to, plural of the word haz gave me
wouldn't that make you a lo7 hursh (which isn't in this puzzle)
it's an RE 8
that's what i'm saying, lo5er aka lo7, which IS in the grid but doesn't COUNT
and now I have the LE 8 also, thanks hurshy
right
the grid has many words that er's an er
if we can in-carcerate, then I think carcerate ought to be valid.
carcerate needs an affix to mean that
"but not enough", she said wistfully, a la marianne as played by kate winslet...
so can we DEcarcerate when people get out?
My theory, for what it's worth, is that lo5 er would be confusing since it's mixing up a verb with a comparative adjective and it's all too messy. I think you should just let down your bucket instead of lo5ering it.
1536, from O.Fr. incarceration, from M.L. incarcerationem (nom. incarceratio), from incarceratus, pp. of incarcerare "imprison," from in- "in" + carcer "prison, an enclosed space," of uncertain origin. The verb incarcerate is first attested 1560.
thanks for the ER hint... I am now past halfway!
but i WANT to lo5 it!
cr 7 pls
and the battery is getting run down a bit so if I disappear...
Then you'd be a le6/18 down of a bucket. A fine title, if you ask me.
oops i mean cr 5/12 the second one
a long history, that! thanks BR
cr5/12 - cr plus a snaky fish.
ty haz
oh dear, now my left ear is being funny the way my right ear has done ever since one year when i had a bad ear infection. my left has never done this before :( blah
thanks for that one haz
oc + recharging may **habilit*at* the battery; add another vowel for the oc 7
You're welcome.
oh oh hurshy -- does holding a warm washcloth up to it help?
You're welcome, stid.
thanks for the OC words! I am down to 96!
should be: oc + recharging may **habilit*t* the battery; add another vowel for the oc 7 (sorry)
and, BR, should I add another vowel or a consonant for the oc 7?
sorry, got confused
there is no oc seven extension either
*flop* should I start, or give up till the morning?
go Jen go! (confusion is a sign that growth is about to occur -- maybe)
hello atalante! it is still morning... for another hour and 3/4!
lol
Hello, Ata! It's quite a nice grid, but it depends on how floppy you feel.
oc + God *****d the world in six days, followed by a day of rest
i don't think so stid, it doesn't hurt, it just... crackles.
hi HAZ
hello boo!
Hello Boo.
ick. crackles doesn't sound lovely. well, as long as it doesn't hurt. maybe it will subside on its own
clue for to 7
that should be o + c*****d the world in six days, followed by a day of rest
hmmmmm. maybe a cup of tea and then babble :D
are you feeling okay BR? still waking up? *sets strong cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll next to BR*
to7 - an Italian musical term.
I would never feel okay. okay does not like to be felt
oh stid, cinnamon roll sounds sooo good
coffee time, brb
i am tiiiiiiiired
they do sound good. I might actually go ahead and make some later. I could at least get the dough ready and the stidkid#2 can help when he gets home.
later flosey!
rofl at BR's okay comment
italian musical term? hm.
Add Widor and Fugue to ring bells, stid. (It worked for hurshy)
thanks Haz *thinking*
and bach too!
but hurshy is weird.
Hello, Dorens
that did it all right!
I've known weirder.
Hello, Dorens.
hi babrab. and haz, and stid and weird hurshy
that one always makes me think of tarantella. *sigh* and then spiders, and then harvest time and pumpkin pie. and once I think of pumpkin pie I am hungry!
hey dorens! how's the foot today?
unhappy with me. i pushed it a bit too far this weekend.. trains and such
i had the most awful awful nightmare last night, being persecuted by some super-smart criminals who were always like 3 steps ahead of everyone else and had no qualms about torture. was afraid to go back to sleep after it.
and i pulled a muschle in my right biceps (crutch related i'm sure), so now my arm doesn't want to lift
oh dear dorens -- but as I recall the trains were to get to the play? or was that a different weekend
ouchie. *gets ice pack and hot pack and choclit*
It takes a while for the panicky feelings to go, doesn't it?
not understanding the to 7. can you reclue please
oh my now stid! the train was to get to phoebe and levi and i think it may have all been worth it. they were such fun
bach, to***** and fuge
gee hurshy -- that's so unlike mine, where I was trying to feed a hundred animals that live in our backyard and no food to be found...
yes, esp since the nightmare had felt like it had been quite long.
to7 - to plus a stuttering feline (use two consonants at the start) finish with a vowel.
i sympathize with all nightmares.. they can be so frightening and lifelike
good clue, haz!
stuttering felines?? whatever next!
clever haz
Or, a backwards baby bed, a feline, a vowel (to7)
oh! of course the phoebe and levi show! how was it? will you be writing a review for the Times? LOL
ok - I give up! Need ca7 to finish - hekp please!
ooh, i got all the S's but one pretty easily... i wonder which i am missing...
hey hoot!
And then the to8 is plural, and the other to 7 just ends in a different vowel.
show stoppers! levi brings downthe house with his creative gurgles!!
hello, hootowl
the person who provides food at an event perhaps hoot?
as you can see, I do need a lot of hekp.....
ca7 - one who does the food at a party
I bet he is just SO precocious -- and phoebe of course always astounds.
whoops sorry - first one
hi BR
come to think of it......Hi all
hurshy, do have another st 6/18 right after the sound system?
it's a little like the split shorts that sort of look like skirt, hoot. I think. I am not listing yet...
ca7/32 - same structure, one vowel different from a garment like a cross between a skirt and trousers.
yep, my high chole(st6)
YES! firewords and thank you!
YAY hoot!!!
thanks for the HDL/LDL word!
congrats, hootowl
Congratulations, hootowl!

thank you Haz, stid and Jess
kurt weil's wife, lo5/10
fireworks
we have that too, cross, but the service center where Tom took his car for the oil change is excluded from that (there must be an opt out he can do though). I wouldn't mind if it were a real person, but a stupid computer? argh.
YAY flosey!
Congratulations on fireworks, flosey!
yay flosey!
drives me nuts as well stid
congrats, flosey
well, down to 60 and about to lose power on this laptop. going to read for a bit and then consider getting up.

see you-all later! (((hugs)))
*poof*
bye stid. take care
Bye stid.
oh no, not 27, that is 47! but still listless
crossy, do you remember the number to call to have these telemarketers eliminated? Please?
et4/4
good afternoon babble friends!
hi there Trif
Hello
et4/5
hah! thanks haz... foolish me.
LIZ!!
hi trif and liz
Hello Trif and Lizsark.
No problem, Dorens.
Haz :) Ata :)
Everyone :)
Hello, Trifioso and Lizsark
Look how nice and restrained Ata is being.
Lizsark, I am particularly delighted to see you!!! On the bank holiday weekend here (oct 9 - 12) I am going to a workshop led by an artist named - SARK!
LIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ *FLING* *CLING*
better? :)
Information about the FTC National Do Not Call Registry: http://tinyurl.com/nutr5y
Really? I know of an author who calls herself SARK, never heard of an artist though!
well hello ata. this is definitely the time to find the British folks isn't it? (i'm usually in school right now)
Now look what you;ve done to Ata Haz!
oh, and do all note my particularly excellent icon, today, in honor of Scrabbler. I am REALLY pleased with it!
thanks BR, hope that applies to Canada
I think it must be the same, Lizsark - she is an artist and an author. Her real name is Susan Kennedy, if that helps at all?
and why are you not at school today Dorens?
clue for we 7
Yes thats her Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy. She drives me mad coz when I google anything to do with this island I get all the results for her!! LOL
oh that is funny tri and school is closed today due to Yom Kippur, and hi wildcat
if scarlett hadn't stolen frank from her own sister, her sister would have been susan elinor kennedy.
nice hi dor
If I had married my best male friend growing up, I would be elizabeth taylor!!!
Still shaking my head in dismay at Ata's outbreak...
Some telemarketers have moved outside the US to avoid the ramifications of the Do Not Call penalties
restraint or lack thereof, haz?
LOL Trif
The lack. But it's endearing at the same time.
did Oscar greet you in raptures wearing the bin lid or something similar?
He was 'happy' to see me...putting it mildly!!
fireworks
congrats, Boobear
well done boo
yay boob
ty all
Thanks BR, hope this applies to calls Canadians get from American based telemarketers - will certainly try it
awwwwwww!
soryy - is oscar a dog or a human?
Hobbit did something worthy of Os while you were away ...
a dog. a big dog. a big happy dog!
must get to work now, be back for late flip
oh, bummer. a man dressed only in a bin lid and happy to see you was a nice visual...
Bye, flosey.
she went in to the vets to be groomed (some of the vet nurses are setting up a little sideline) and some poor assistant girl had just finished mopping and drying the whole of the waiting room floor ...
A dog who singlehandedly keeps the Sark vets in work.
help with the ac7s please :)
does anyone have a clue for the we 7/60 plz?
sorry, sandie, I only have 6's
so Hobbit bounces in, bounces up to the girl and squats and wee's in excitement. As spaniels do. Then procedes to bounce off, trampling through the puddle of wee so she distributed it to all 4 corners of the (very large) waiting room
Actually Haz, we don't have any vets here :) (I wonder why!!) Our vet is in Guernsey
we7/60 is the extra word that appears in Lickety's list but is not accepted by babble.
I realised that afterwards, Liz. They keep a safe distance for a reason.
ah that's why I can't find it then!!!
ac + the largest Greek island
My thoughts exactely
<-------- this spaniel has immaculate bladder control.
I have to go and remove child from bath......bbl....have fun all :)
yay! here comes my mom! Talk to you all later, I hope!~
Os has completely corrupted my spaniel
highest card in the deck: ac* + how would you **** this clue on a scale of 1 to 10?
It's all go in babble, isn't it?
whereas before she would take delicate sips from water troughs, now she has to get in them completely and splash madly
Maybe Hobbit needs therapy or detoxing to rid her of the O influence.
ty babble!
May I have a clue for the re5/14/ ty
anti_Oscar therapy LOL!
does anyone know if there is a T missing from Licketty's list. I am missing one from the bottom T but seem to have all the ones on the list.
oh Haz!!!!!!!!!!! I sold my cross-stitch work over the weekend. Does that mean I'm a professional needleworker now?
Absolutely!
highest card in the deck: ac* + a brand of television: Moto****
I'm deeply impressed.
woohoo! never sold any needlework before!
I managed to sell £95 worth of stuff over the weekend for Dogs for the Disabled
That's brilliant!
I'm quite smug!
Did people pay a decent price?
ty again...now just the ac 5/12 please (and then I will stop picking your brain lol)
Never were truer words spoken, Ata, never truer words.
name that proper noun! a city in india
ac + greek letter
TY TY TY
I could have got more money for a painting and the needlework if I'd held out, but I wanted to sell them there and then, and they both went to people who I know will really appreciate them, which is important to me
wtg, Ata
Well, that's good. No point in working hard for a pittance, but having people appreciate what you do is important.
nice ata.. you are now a professional needleworker
acra?
the painting went to a guy who has one of the best private Tolkien-based art collections ever. So I'm very happy with that. He really wanted a different painting, but I wasn't prepared to sell that. Yet!
Lickety's list has a we 7/60 that is not part of this grid
American Collegiate Rowing Association
i guess i'd feel pretty proud if one of the best collectors wanted my work, ata. you have a right to 27 seconds of smugness now
only 27 secs?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
i guess that was a bit stingy, wasn
Well, I'd better depart as well and get some food on the table. If you do start the grid, hope you enjoy it, Ata. See you all tomorrow!
wasn't it? okay. 2 minutes
bye dear!
I'll take 27 hours ;)
bye haz enjoy the dinner
be well, Haz
yes, you probably will, won't you, ata?
Thank you - bye!
i'm just stupid. i meant a city in ghana.
# What did the witch put in her hair? # Scare spray
well I did officially sell 1 painting, 1 needlework, and get 6 small commissions, all for money for Dogs for the Disabled
hi all
wtg ata!
you are not, hurshy ... so quit that
bye haz
hello, jmc
and to put it into context, over the last 3 years, I've seen 2 paintings sold at this art show! so it was quite impressive!
very impressive!
Good for you, Ata
I have only sold one photograph in 30 years
maybe I'll take photos next year lol
but 1 is better than 99.9% of people!
can't give away my needle work
except the eyeglass cases!
I still find it quite bewildering that some people are prepared to pay me to draw something
but you are a wonderful artist yes? why wouldnt they want something drawn by you?
I paid a friend to make a painting of my sons' house in NC for him to keep
because because .. I don't know! there's just so many wonderful artists out there! I'm just me!
I could have never done it myself
and I am not a terrible artist -- just a so-so one
I'll get used to it one day, I know. It's just all too wonderful to quite believe at the moment
which brings to mind I need to figure out what to give my son for his birthday soon
the only thing I am able to draw is a breath ... for which I am thankful
drawing breath is good
very thankful!
bet you can draw bath water too though
not without a tub
probably never tried it without a tub!
i bet you can draw straws brabble
and draw on a bank account
you got me there, hurshy
and draw a bead, most unfortunately
yes, that too, Ata
lol hoisted on your own pitard
I can draw a bead on a skeet!
a guy running for office in
rats, the ca7 isn't calorie
the first one, i mean.
well, neither is the second one, but i have the second one.
South Carolina auctioned off an AK47
more of a woman's name hursh
glad I am not voting in SC
auction? that's nothing. some car dealer in texas (i think) gave away a free gun with purchase of a car. you had your choice of that or like, free gas for a year or something. most people chose the gun.
gasoline was a better investment
unless of course you are good at dressing a deer
trend setter deer
i am very good at dressing a deer. i've won awards at the paris fashion shows for fawns.
lol I am afraid all my deer dress like hippies
Afternoon, all.
hi judi
g'day, Judi
Hey now - we're all supposed to have rabbits as icons in honor of Scrabbler's last day in the office from hell.
is that scrabs kissing Richard Head goodbye, judi?
You are so in tune, jmc! That's exactly what I was trying to convey.
I am celebrating with a glass confetti ball!

ok, if you're playing the piano and you're supposed to play the notes really quick and distinct rather than holding them, that's called ________. remove the S and move the last syllable to the front of the word. and double the C if it's not already.

Hi again. I keep getting yanked away. Hubby just reminded me that my socially inept in-laws may be coming on Friday. They won't be able to let me know for sure until Thursday night. I may have two, three or four people staying over. I have no living room furniture right now.
sends judi some bean bags
Phffth. My one BIL is a millionaire. Cheapest bastard I ever met.
I only have one guest bedroom, so they said they'd bring their own air mattress. HA! Hope the cat finds it!
draws a map and diagram for the cat and provides it with a teeny tiny commando knife so it can crawl under their covers easily
with the knife in it's teeth of course
lol, i like the way your mind works jacq :-)
The cat's already well-armed with claws. If only. I personally would never dream of dropping in on some one with that short notice. I've tried to train my husband to be more thoughtful when his relatives invite themselves.
oh that was a past experience, my cat had crawled under the duvet and clawed my ex husbands feet so the girls and i had a real time of it we even made a wee cardboard knife and left it in the bed for him to find LOL
Thoughful as in..."We really don't have much room. You would probably be much more comfortable at the hotel two miles away."
it sounds like it is going to be a tight squeeze too Judi, with four of you.
Good Evening all - is there a spare word on Lickety?
would they listen if you asked them judi?
we is a spare one Kazzer
I don't mind company. I just hate having to wodge everyone in and then wait around for everyone to cycle through the bathroom.
i think..not sure now
good i thought it was me - i have fireworks now
wtg kazzer!!!!!
WTG Kazzer
which w`we` is it kazzer?
How are you all today? I have a bad earache which isnot going away. It is the very last we7/60
Sorry. I'm going to the penalty bin now.
thank you, sorry about your ear
judi there is so much writing there it would take me a while to find out which word it is..lol
Sorry. I was venting a bit.
it is good to vent :-)
it's good to vent in here, safe and free
its interesting because though the grid doesnt see it, it is in the atoz words and it fits nicely in to finish lickety's list
i'm really confused, can someone help?
never mind, got it :)

I am well, zoom. being a totally irresponsible mama today, stayed abed until noon playing games and reading email, now playing other games and considering finishing the very last clean-up in my "office" before school starts tomorrow.
Mari are you still on?

that sounds good to me Stid, i will be doing the same on my next day off..lol
hello Katie :-)
hey katie! (((hugs)))
Hi zooz

Hi Stid
Just checking if Mari and Diem are on before I go to bed
I haven't seen them, but I just got here.
I got promoted today so have been celebrating all night :-)
no they have not been on since i have been here which is about two hours.
Yay well done Katie, good on yer.
Oh wow Katie - Congratulations! at last
KATIEEE!!!!!! YIPPEEEEE!!!!!! *starts week-long party mode*
ty zooz
I am so proud to know you! you TOTALLY deserve it!
um... promotion = raise in pay, yes?
I have been for so many interviews, this time I partied all weekend (hubby's 40th), had no sleep, no preperation and went to the interview knowing that I wasn't going to get the job and was offered it this evening - yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hello babblers - glad I tuned it in time to celebrate with Katie - yay for you! congratulations
hey JBV! how are you today?
Hello Jbv
ty stid, it means a lot, as much for the acknowlegement of my past work as for now
Thanks stid & jvb
hi stid - no work today, so I spent the day doing the most awful chores I've been putting off - but now they're all done and I'm home to relax
having said all that I've only got 61 words tonight so babble isn't going so good lol
good for you JBV. I am spending today NOT doing all the awful chores I have put off... and watching the sky grow gloomier by the hour. *sigh* no garden time for me today.
and for everyone who observes, I extend my wishes for the day of Atonement - it seems the least I can do to recognize having a whole day off from work
At least they are out the way JBV and you don't have to do them tomorrow!
i still 55 to find, am getting a bit tired now though..lol
I am down to 49 and considering the list.
I'm off to bed now, see you all tomorrow when I will make a better effort! Night all x
sweet dreams katie! well done!
I even ironed! can you believe it? I had to dig around to find the iron :)
Bye Katie, have a good nights sleep .
bye katie, sweet dreams
hahaha, Jbv
wow. ironing... I know where the iron is (moved it OUT of the office and into our bedroom yesterdy)
I have some blouses that could use ironing, was planning on doing that next weekend at some point.
I changed my icon this morning, for scrabbler, but I can't see it - I've refreshed about 5 times - what do you see?
looks like bunnies and a giant carrot to me, JBV
I see two black rabbits
yes, that's it, thanks zoom, but why can't I see it? (Free range rabbits)
i see free range bunnies!!
Hello Une
hi, Une - bunnies are there when I click on my profile, but not in the chog
go into "my account" and refresh
hey, zoom :-)
click on a blank part of the chog only Jbv and either reload or refresh what ever wording it uses
ok, tried that, une, let's see.....
nope, not working for me
did you jump up and down, turn in a circle, and snap your fingers? LOL
how about closing all of babble daown and then restarting it.
and clicked my red slippers! :)
LOL, Une
ok, bye, trying that
wow, the red slippers should have done it . . . hmmm
must be a flying monkeys issue
yes..it can be annoying when it does not refresh
ok, logged out, logged in, let's see if the Wizard can so some magic
nope
oh noooooo
are you using expert Jbv?
anyway, enough of that, can I help anyone with clues?
hmmmm, you didn't vote Republican, did you?
certainly not
that can cause ALL kinds of problems!
yes, expert
:-D
rofl Une! (and hello)
hey, stiddy :-)
down to 44 and want to start making progress again. listing...
ahh ha, use the normal babble either on firefox or explorer and you will find that is it :-)
it is definitely not quite as much fun to babble on the netbook as it was on the laptop...
why is that, stid?
i know that as i also use expert and it does not refresh for me either ..but when i use babble on firefox it does..lol
because the screen is smaller and my eyes are older, Une!
interesting . . . I use Firefox and don't use Expert
oh, gotcha, stid . . .
third AC 7 please?
oh, my! you techies are amazing - you're right! just opened it in Firefox without Expert and it's fine!
you can always zoom in, right?
strange why it does that jbv
ac7 starts like the ac7 just above and ends in Coca C***
I use voodoo and religiously sacrifice candy wrappers to the babble gods
not using expert, at least haven't figured out how. and if I zoom too much then it's a lot of scrolling.
yay, JBV!
LOL, Br
thanks Une! got it right away
and hello to you BR
why didn't I think of that BR?
BR LOL!
stid, you're in the NW USA, right?
yes, Une, Puget Sound.
my daughter's longtime boyfriend just spent a week working in Alaska -- Kinea peninsula
(environmental engineer)
and he can't stop raving about how beautiful it was
how did he like it?
they both LOVE nature, out-of-doors, camping -- that kinda thing
he drives a green diesel?
they camped for a week in August in Michigan's Upper Peninsula -- the pix are breathtaking
I cannot monkey the AC 5! help?
ac + greek letter
sounds like they are well suited for that ...
BR they share my daughter's Sentra -- but prefer walking, hiking, public transport -- very sensitive to their "carbon footprint"
of course, in the winter ALL parts of Alaska are quite cold... but maybe they don't mind cold? I am chilled when the temp drops below about 75. and comfortable at 80.
got the AC 5, thanks
they dealt with very cold temps last winter in Ann Arbor
As accomplished!
Jennifer gets her second master's in April and they have to decide where they want to live . . .
(he can telecommute from anywhere -- not an issue)
NW USA is soooooo far from moi and from both of their families
I like Washington state a lot Une (obviously) -- the proximity to many different ecosystems from ocean to mountain to desert... and it's relatively mild, as climates go.
they both like it too
*yawns* good evening
hey, street
yes, that would be a drawback. BUT the plus side would be that when you came to visit, there are lots of babblers in this corner!
hey street
TRUE!!
Washington is also pretty eco-conscious in general, too. Which is a nice thing for young families, if that is in their future.
would love to go to the Tgiving Saturday gathering in DC . . . sigh
yeah, I think of WA, OR, CA, etc. as very eco-conscious
I wish I could, too Une! wouldn't that be fun! but it's a bit of a drive for me.
At first I saw your flag, Une, and thought, "why not?" Then I remembered, America is a big place...
street, it would be about a 10-hour drive for me
it's not a bad grid once the list is in hand. down to 23 already
I think America scares me a bit, it's so big. I like being in England; you can sort of hit the sides a bit
go, stiddy!!
street, many years ago when I worked au pair in Paris, a Brit friend worked for the family next door
she always said she was afraid if she came to the US, the middle of the country would just swallow her up! LOL
Wow, you were an au pair? that must have been such a great experience!
she was from Minchinhampton in Gloucestershire -- sooooo charming!
whereas, I, haven't never really been away from North America, wonder how they fit all those people into the dinky little places on the other side of the pond!
brb phone
LOL Stid, we all suck our stomachs in when somebody else enters the room. I'm from London, so not at all charming ;)
street, i hitched all around southern England with some friends and everyone was incredibly nice to us!
we couldn't get a ride one Sunday afternoon way out in the countryside
an older gentleman stopped, picked us up, and turned around and drove WAY out of his way to take where we wanted to go . . .
and a lady once got off the tube in London -- it wasn't even her stop -- so she could help me find what I was looking for
*take us
Well I'm glad we made a good impression! I think genearlly Americans are friendlier, though. They are SO pleased to see you. All the time.
one more and then I'll stop -- in Scotland we hitched a ride with a lorry driver who was appalled that we didn't know what heather was
he pulled over to the side of the road to pick us a bouquet!!
Oh dear, I didn't even notice you'd missed a word out. Must be tireder than I thought...did just fall asleep in front of QI ;)
LOL!
:-D
Well I can't account for the scottish at all ;) completely different kettle of fish...
my prob in Scotland was that I had a TERRIBLE time understanding what people were saying! LOL
Oh gosh, at the Reading Festival a band from Dundee played...nobody had a CLUE what they were on about...it's the only time I've heard a cheer sound that doubtful
LOL!
phone . . . BRB
sorry all, got sidetracked by talking to stidkid and Mother (he goes to their house many days after school).

Hello everyone -- love your bunny, une!
yay, dorens! howdy!
tx, jilli :-)
ce 5/14: add a consonant to the ce 4/6
hey jill!
ce 6/21 sounds like the edge on a steak knife.
My Rabbit looks fat here, but not in the profile
ce + word meaning velocity or change in something over time.
i did not like this grid. I do like your rabbit, jilli
hello again dorens
ty dorens
just stopped in to finish. clue if needed for a while
I like Rabbit too, though Kanga was generally my favorite.
can't say i ever had one favorite... they were all such good characters, all my life
Kanga is so motherly, like you
yay stid!
hi owl
afternoon alls.
Agreed, dorens.
hey jes!
Hi jes
hey, jes :-)
how goes?
ty for the ce clues...tuff ones there
hi jes. it goes
I have 90 left and not much time. Should be designing a calendar, not doing this!
i've dragged out half the words in this clunky grid. think i'm gonna list the other half.
hi doren.hi jess
someone at school described our custodian as eeyore, and I just cracked up. i mean, they were right on. he's always been a sort of doom and gloom, worst case scenario type
aww. i like eeyore!
what kind of calendar, jilli?
I am considering finishing clearing off my desk and workbench. So much to think about, and yet... I am feeling not at all like doing anything.
I have and eeyore friend too
oh i do too. in fact first stuffed animal i bought my granddaughter was an eeyore. but he is a bit of a pessimist
i'm wearing an eeyore scrub top today! :)
I liked eeyore too.
acral is SO a word. *pout*
Jes, I do a monthly calendar for the local seniors' society, showing the various activities but also adding some amusements with clip-art and such.
fun :)
I do NOT like the Disneyfication of the Pooh stories.
okay, I am going to head out. Stidkid #2 will be home in about 40 minutes. If I start some cookie dough now, he can help me put them on the baking sheets.
you're such a good mom, stiddy!!
oh no. i just took the 100 acre personality type test and i am owl. of course i never do like personality type tests cause i have a lot of trouble answering the questions. i mean, it really depends on the day and my mood and the circumstances.
((((hugs and choclits for everyone)))) *poof*
if he doesn't eat all the dough first?
i could help you eat them stid!
bye, stid! ooh... i have jealousy. no cookies for me today :(
are all those ac7 words related?
*send sympathy card andgift certificate good for one 45 min hour of therapy to doren*
nope, jili
ac + island nation
hahaha thank you owl
a + ce6/21
thanks, uni :)
ty une, but I'm drawing a blank *putting on thinking cap*
yw :-)
ac7 = high scoring card + c*ay*** brand of crayons
oh, thanks -- just got the ce6/21 from stid a few minutes ago!
jilli, ac + island nation of minoan art
are there 2ac7?
3
bad news owl. there are 3
thanks, doren
high score + when you scold someone you be**** them
ok got 2
tyvm une -- gottem all *waving away the stink emanating from useless words*
jilli LOL!!!
there are several useless words in this grid, if words could be considered useless. however, they are useful in completing the grid!
ty ,don't have enough words yetto seek clues. can you all see my bunny?
I suppose!
TO, I see your bunny but can't read the words
4 little bunnies, to
ok i will put them into the profile brb

yes it is, my son gave me a bunch of them..lol
yay for zoo. and i'm out now. happy babbling
.gifs from Google don't work properly here -- they don't move and the background goes black -- unless they're tiny :(
where did your son get them? Or did he make them?
bye doren.

wb welki
Hi, welki! :)
good evening everyone. ty for the clues so far.
Good very early morning, bookwomen . . .
Hi Book
hi book
Hello all, time to rattle the brain cells. I almost said rain cells. Here in the NW it is starting to spit a little.
Hi, stidgmere!
Rain cells and brain drops? ;)
Here in the south I saw the sun today and it did not rain. we are finally drying out a little.
Hi, jc. yes you could say it that way; the brain draggs. The sun--we had it once.
Dan- how many
oh Hi Stidg- did not see you
6 dr
ugh- I need 6 re words and an s
I just started dr. I was doing the laundry today and filing papers. Trying to make sense out of the usual disarray.
5 re's and a W
(I already know the W...just didn't put it in yet)
are you back on US time now Stidg
sa8 please
can anyone please help with the lo 5/10? thanks
what makes the cut...compound word
Yes, it has taken a week for my meals and sleep to be coordinated. Next time, I'll take a couple of days on the U.S. east coast before coming home.
lo5/10 is like a strong coffee drink...O instead of A for the first vowel
probably a smart idea Stidg
thanks, Dan
my pleasure joey
Moving quickly away from the a words, I'll just dink around randomly for awhile.
What makes the cut, Dan? Hmmm . . . just tried that, and it didn't work?
The tool has them and you have them in your mouth
I found those, Book - is that what Dan's referring to?
compound word for sa8/65...first part is "I see, he ***", second part is where a dentist drills a cavity
Think of the tool that cuts wood put it before your ivories
Oh of course - thank you, Dan!
Silly me, for not seeing that . . .
And Book - thank you!
ty Dan- one owrd left
hi again
* word even
WB Kje
you write the stories JC, but do you build the sets too? If not, then its not silly to miss it. Now if you happened to be a carpenter...

* giggle * thx Stid ;)
I am shamelessly looking for compliments and support for tomorrow. I don't know why I am so nervous, but I am. What if I forget something? What if the other "kids" don't like me?" What if, what if, what if!!!!
Hi, nrkii! :)

Speaking of getting tickets...does anyone here like Glenn Yarbrough?
Are you going to go study, stid?

Back again. Nephew Peter came home from a long day on the college campus.
I love Glen Yarborough! Always have.
Lindy, I know you will be happy to be "home" -- but this continent will definitely be emptier without you.

Yay Scrabs!!

It was a busy, crazy day and I had to stay an extra hr (til 8:30) to finish charts.
I'm a huge fan of The Limeliters!
LOL Lindy, if you only knew how hard it is to get me to travel the few hundred miles to see jill and flosey....

aaww thanks BR! (0:
the etui variant is back again
thx BR!!!!
I've seen research that posits that the "English accent" is a fairly recent development .. That we don't speak with that accent because it wasn't around at the time of the formation of the U.S. ..
hm. that actually makes sense, tor!
LOL torg, you don't speak English!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha haha
So which is "more" English the New England or the Virginian accent?
but.. but.. how does one know it wasn't around?
The West Coat, stid...of course!!! LOL
SO when did the English accent develop in the English?
there are hundreds of English accents!
la8 plz/thx (does it extend the la5 before it?)
je ne comprende pas?
well you see Aloyisius, some of us Babblers were around then, right BR? *innocent mama look*
RURU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
h'mm, well, that would be empirical evidence then..

what I did to my finger on the chopper blade, harpjane..
caffeinated :( andthat should be hobbit's mistress b.t.w.
washing dishes is dangerous
thanks, sorry about your finger
Pini, the babbler with a phd and a silly pet, besides hobbit
just a little cut, harp.. right before the company arrived!
of course
FM - you're as bad as me being here at this time of the morning.
i've had to go to the ER twice from housekeeping accidents.
hi Jacula!
hello, Jacula
Hi everyone. BR can you clue the re 5,14 for me please? I recognized all the others you gave.
LOL Jacs - good to see you! porb is I haven't been to bed yet.
ouch.. I'll expand my statement.. housekeeping is dangerous to your health!
Lately, if I don't have to be up at any particular time, I go to bed early and rise fairly early. However, if I have to be up early for any particular reason I either cannot sleep or don't want to and sometimes drink wine.
this grid is going along swimmingly... am I in for a nasty surprise?
hi jac :)
FM - I haven't either; been updating my blog at long last.
re + abbr for copies at the bottom of a letter and then a vowel
Rare that I say up this late - usually see the flip from the early side tho.
<-- still diligently working on the 67 words I have left...
Wow. Could not monkey that one. Thankyou.
Hi MrP. I've been watching a Geordie comedian travelling your country on a motorbike between gigs tonight. It's a big place! Apparently, the UK can fit into it 31 times.
thx BR (me either, Bugs)
Is there a second sw7, 44 or is it bogus too?
Ross Noble is his name.
yw
Actually can you call staying up till this hour late - or should it be early?
it's a word, bugs
Bug - you might sw7 in the heat.
sw 7 -- curser
there are 4 sw7/44 words
I'm blaming Aloy - it is all her fault.
it's something you might do in extreme heat
sw 7 -- mohair one
sw 7 more sugary
LOL.. hope my insomnia isn't catching!
sw 7 -- what you do in intense heat
There's a curser, a jumper or one who perspires, something more sugary, and the perspiring one.
Hang on, FM, you can't blame Aloy, 'cos you are the offical scapegoat.
lol no - but I just carried on listening to music Aloy - email will make sense :)
it is the very last sw 7, 44 I need
Oh I know that Jacs but ccasionally , very occasionally someone else is really to blame :)
that's the HOT one, bugs
or, try to avoid the sw*****ing heat
we need a "blame baton" to pass around..
Guess I had better go and put the industrial sized kettle on then.
s + a division for boxers: w*****weight
my preference is to do away with the blame and enjoy the game
we7?
no we7 harp
Thank you BR!! I thot the hot one was the same as the English jumper so I confused.
ignore it harp - it is a rouge in lickety's list.
aw, BR.. we only razz the ones we love..
ah, that's good information
Ah, FM, listening to music is often my downfall for a night not asleep.
Not this time, though.
Now I have fireworks. Thanks to you all.
You're a poet and didn't know it BR :)
yippee, yahoo, hurray for Bugsaw!!!
from the size of my feet, I am told I have Longfellows
congrats, Bugsaw
LOL, BR.
LOL!!!!
Howdy
LOL BR! I am so tired and must be off. Happy Babbling
Hey herin
Well done Bugsaw and Hi Herin.
hi herin! lol, groan.. BR
be well, Bugsaw howdy, herin
HI. How can we not have this many E and A words and not have Anteater, Eerie or Etna
FM - does he mean he has goat balls? (They look like those long tapering Christmas baubles. LOL)
very good questions hern
There is so many vowels but no Babblets that I have found yet
Herin - I tried all those words, too.
Jac - I am not going to answer that one on the grounds I might incriminate myself!
herin, to4 is a classic babblet
Okay FM.
I have just started the grid
never leave one cat inside and one outside then decide to try and put 2 cats outside at once on leads. It equals grumpy cats.
hi herin
Cats on leads = grumpy cats in my experience!
Loves and hugs everyone
Hi Harp.
Love yr icon herin
te 6 after the rhymes?
to7 (2nd) plz/thx?
change the last vowel pini
thx, harp ;)
THank You FM.
Oddly enough, harp, that word perfecly describes the goat testicles I just mentioned.
Jac I tried putting madam outside and she teased Lucius. I put lucius outside and they both tried to eat other
add a cons at the end harp (I think)
now that is odd, jac, i rarely think about goat testicles....
Herin - if you give them the chance they will sort out their heirarchy.
Pini your icon looks like a little mini fireman *or a baby pirate*
trouble with reading a good murder mystery at night is that you don't want to stop reading
Neither do i, Harp. But there they were! LOL
* giggle * herin...that's my Colie Olie! (8 wks ystrdy)
Jac they have sorted it out. SHe rules the house and tries to smack him down at every opportunity
Herin - but he needs to establish that he rules the garden, Give him a chance.
te + get back at: **taliat*
hey y'all. I have 26 min. can I start and finish?
The thing is they have leads so they can't go far. I need a huge lead for him and a new harness since he has outgrown his. The plain was one at a time but she was teasing him and he was cherping
Autumn - I doubt it!
had to ask :P
sure, autumn... you must be about done now
LOL, Autumn. BTW, it was lovely to see you chatting with my daughter on FB.
Autum i just started
Herin - cats aren't allowed to roam free in Aus. are they?
jac- she was so close.... but, yet, sofar
Autumn is only just arriving here don't rush it -winter follows ;)
thanks br
Jac my two are not outside cats. Too many dogs and no road sense
yw
Update: down to 43 and still plugging away...
pick it up, Pini
12 hour drive away, I know, Autumn. My Uncle used to live on Vancouver Island but he's recently moved to Oshawa in Ontario.

Gee baby sitting that is going to be hard. How are you going to do anything with the cutey about

lol, no, I'm plodding along, FM.. mind a bit fuzzy from the German beer and wine maybe?
i really should autumn, it's only 10 hours. But I hate crowds
Well, it's like this, herin...I can keep him my lap most of the time and still chat with all of you (if the wifi is available)! :)

I'll be going to Northern France and then Portugal before I head in Canada's direction.

hello, jmc.. cheer up!
Am contemplating a holiday in the next 3 months or so - first hol is a huge number of years!
:-(((
ac + greek island?
Kate - eventually, but it could be years away. My fave photo of my Gran (my Mum's Mum) was taken in Canada. From the front she was a little old grannie with her arm around a statue of a Red Indian Brave. But, when her son (my uncle who has lived there since the 1960s) nipped around the re4 to take a true pic., that sweeet liitle old grannie had her hand on the Indian Brave's buttock and that's what her wide smile was all about.
coming to the US, FM?
what greek island?
you deserve a wonderful holiday, FM.. go for it!
corfu?
hmmm...the island that starts with a C?
crete?
jmc - the Greek island the minotaur came from.

Hey, jmc, don't be so glum. I'm sure we'll all get around to visiting opne and other eventually.
you too, herin.. enjoy!
Saints ROw 2
I m just glum tonight
nothing personal
awww Hugs JM
awe jmc
group hug for jmc! (((((((((( )))))))))
I was just about to pull myself out of depression when my son called to tell me he needed even more money for a text book
ty for the group hug
you shoukd all join the babblers worldwide fb page and we could set up our own travel and stay club...no one would have to pay for accommmodations...perhaps i'll set up a thread..and talk to ro about it
JM its just money let it not bother you.
Its bloody annoying but you will find a way.
I am just as the song says "tired of being poor"
sends jmc a nice glass of red wine and some dark choclit brownies...the really chewy ones
Says she that is as poor as a church mouse
but a diet of veggies is not good for you either..bound to get your mind in a knot
there is such an arrangement with Quakers -- happy to extend to babblers
A's done!!!
know that feeling jmc, it is crushing.
gone to lickety brb
had stir fry tonight with a pork chop trader
Sadly, I know the feeling, too ... I'm working on finally being able to my kids, "No"...
most of the time I am fine but every once in a while I just can't take it any more
hurray for meat!!!!
go pini go
JMC I did the woohooo paid $2000 dollars in rent and bills then got more bills
I've been watching Lost Land of the Volcano on tv recently, scientists, cavers, wildlife cameramen and naturalists exploring the extinct volcano Mount Bosavi in New Guinea. How exciting must that be to descend into a volcano cr6/21 that's been cut off for between 5 - 7,000 years and is largely unexplored?
I am not a veggie!
