please

pc

12:23 am

it givesy you the list on the same page as you are on now and you are supposed to be able to typ0e in the words and they should go directly into the list

ty vash

12:23 am

And its free

12:23 am

how do you get it?

12:24 am

thank you for assuming that i am computer literate- i can barely manage this-lol

12:24 am

contact Lickety i believe and tell them you want it its a zip file i believe

12:24 am

good - then you can getit for free by emailing Lickety and he will send it to you. It puts everything on the same page, and there's a box where if you type one word it automatically goes both to Lickety's list and the Word list, and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat.

12:25 am

you'll find lickety's email to the right on his page

12:25 am

It's very simple smom -- not a zip file, an exe

Yahoo IM won't let you use your own name now, so had to create a new name - then find all my contacts - which isn't easy

3:48 am

po4/6 - slang for british people

4:04 am

Hello, All :-)

4:10 am

n

hello all

5:29 am

An early good morning to all of you fine folks.

5:31 am

... to all you fine people lurking somewhere in another short grid, or who are eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner, who are nearby cleaning house, but leave their babble 'on' even when not actually babbling ...

5:32 am

Clue please for fo 7/60

5:33 am

Hello, Gran ... good to see a live body. I only just got here myself and am not yet to the fo, but will be soon. I am working on the f words in fact.

5:35 am

Whoever gets it first, can clue the other ... how does that sound for a plan?

5:37 am

Sounds good - will do

he he - i like the po8 word

5:38 am

the fo 7 has the same ending as the 8, but uses the big scoring letter in the middle

5:38 am

Haven't got the po 8/45 yet can you clue it please pinny

5:38 am

I found the fo 7, gran. Of course it uses the big numbered tile in order to get to the 60 and it is the ultimate superlative.

po8 is 'the most' po4/5

5:39 am

It is absolutely the fo***** thing of all. I have never heard of the word before.

5:40 am

TY, Pinny, I'll remember that when I work on the po words.

5:40 am

Thanks Pinny

5:40 am

Gran, did you find the fo 8?

no worries - need any other clues before i disappear?

5:42 am

Only if there are 6 words that were hard for you to monkey out.

the only 6 word that gave me grief was the na6, because i can NEVER spell it correctly

5:43 am

Not yet

5:43 am

hmmm

5:45 am

For some reason, I always want 'fest' to be a word. Does anyone else have that?

5:45 am

Can you give a further clue for the fo 7 Merk

5:46 am

I always try "fest" and always get rejected. Good morning to all. Big snowstorm here in Buffalo area--schools are closed.

5:46 am

No, use that big tile after the initial fo. Then remember how you change the y to * when you make plurals. You can do that with comparatives, too.

5:51 am

You know how you like to eat French fr*** with a hamburger? Well take off the fr at the front and use the fo* that I've been cluing and add the *** of fr***. Then put a consonant on the end. I am terrible at cluing odd words.

5:53 am

Thanks Merk - funny how one searches for words then goes off to put the kettle on, comes back and sees words instantly.

5:54 am

Yes, please brew me some tea, too, as long as you have the kettle on.

5:55 am

Will do

Morning Babblers :)

5:58 am

good morning everyone

5:58 am

how is the grid?

5:58 am

hello nanette

5:58 am

Thank goodness you are here jac. Now we are three. Gran and I were just going to have some tea.

we had our snow yesterday Scrabs

5:59 am

Hi Jacq + Nono

5:59 am

The grid is OK.

5:59 am

heya merk, gran and scrabbler

5:59 am

We are going to have 2-3 feet of snow by Saturday morning.

5:59 am

wow

oh my thats a big one! must be lake effect?

6:00 am

we have been told we're going to have 2 weeks of very cold dry weather and because of the front that is here there will be no snow

6:00 am

I've been here less than half an hour and am half done. I spent most of my time trying unsuccessfully to clue the fo 8 for gran. I am not good at clueing odd words.

6:00 am

Lake effect snow--wind come from southwest across Lake Erie = snowmaking machine.

6:00 am

is this from that storm thats in the news scrabbler?

Merk I got the fo7 from your clue

6:01 am

Yes, Great Lakes area is having blizzard-like conditions

6:01 am

I am so glad that my hubby is out of there. He is in Minneapolis now where it has stopped snowing. Fasten your seatbelt Scrabs. When the snow stops, the wind will pick up and you'll wonder why you ever picked there to live.

the fo7 sort of reminds me of a muppet character

6:02 am

I grew up here. My family & friends are here. No reason to leave.

6:02 am

And I kept thinking of fog as in I haven't the fogg**** idea of what you are talking about.

6:02 am

I was born in MI and loved it while I lived there. But now when I go back or hear about their weather, I wonder how I endured those nasty winters.

6:03 am

We are tough. Also, I cross country ski and just bought snow shoes, so I have fun in the snow.

6:03 am

The chat is just getting good and I have to leave to have breakfast. My stomach is growling.

6:04 am

i love the snow

6:04 am

love driving and walking in it

6:04 am

I love cross country skiing, too. I can do it here, but not like in MI where they make trails thru the woods and across golf courses.

6:04 am

can't ski

could some one help with the Z please, it is my only blank tile

6:05 am

I've walked in the snow here this week until it got so bitterly cold that it gave me a severe frontal headache yesterday. I was all bundled up, but when I turned around to face the wind, it hit instantly. I couldn't get home fast enough. I never get headaches and it scared the soup out of me.

6:06 am

7:08 am

wb merk, bacl also

7:10 am

I thought I'd finish while the caffeine saturates my body. Then I'll do the treadmill since the weather prevents me from going outside today. That way I can run to the loo in between walks to alleviate the misery of having to use the treadmill.

7:12 am

lol

7:12 am

oh Merk, you sound miserable. Although after seeing he US weather on our news i can understand why. Hello all

7:12 am

heya lynxxx, it does look awful doesn't it

7:12 am

Hey, Lynxx. Enjoying your new day?

7:13 am

Or are you still on the old one?

7:13 am

A few minutes after midnight so I'll head back to bed soon

7:14 am

Hi Jacq

for the life of me i cant find em4,8 my monkey is tired lol

7:19 am

7:19 am

hi Edward

hi lynx

and thak you jacq

thank

7:20 am

yw

7:21 am

anyone find the po 8 yet ... now that is an odd word ... I shudder to think of the meaning

7:22 am

thanks, didn't even know what it started with

7:22 am

lol i found it, made me blink a lot

7:23 am

feel like cluing it? i dont want to blink that much till ive had a tea

7:23 am

It builds on the po 4,5 and is a comparative

7:23 am

the worst of the dirty movies?

7:24 am

It's the only one that ends like the fo 7 that I've found so far.

7:24 am

merk i could kiss you

7:24 am

My phantom is promise

7:24 am

have been looking for an f for ages

7:25 am

Well, thank you, I could hear that more.

7:25 am

mwwwaaaahhhhh!

7:25 am

I clued it when I was here earlier at 5:30 or so. Later I thought of a better clue.

7:26 am

i donlt read the chog when i just come on i always think i am cheating if i do

7:26 am

jacq, your BabblePurity stuns me! LOL

7:27 am

purity?

7:27 am

whee into the varieties of po 4/5 first thing in the morn;0

7:27 am

wow, LOL

7:27 am

at least something is pure

7:27 am

I don't either. I get on so early, it's a waste of time. No clues are given in the wee hours. I prefer to find them myself until I'm stuck and I will ask for clues.

7:28 am

i try to get to at least 50%

7:28 am

gather ye clues, er rosebuds, while ye may . . . :-)

7:28 am

lol

7:28 am

rosebuds?? im looking out the window at a foot of snow,nary a rosebud to be found;9

7:29 am

just watched Obama's speech in Oslo -- as always, such a thoughtful and challenging man -- moved me to tears . . .

7:29 am

crossy :-)

7:29 am

I found a third word that ends like the fo and pr. Only 5 letters though.

7:30 am

dont know about your guy,but if our guy did 50% of what he says he does,id be moved to tears lol

I was listening to NPR yesterday and some whacko lady from Texas was talking about how Obama hates America

7:30 am

i wish someone would give me an award for something I might do in the future

7:30 am

if any of them did we'd all be moved

Pro

sorry

7:31 am

ok helmut..1 sec....

7:31 am

Must go to work. back later

7:31 am

this plaques marks this spot for the great time traveller HELMUT who was here in 2065..;)

7:32 am

morning all. be nice if our world leaders weren't all bought and paid for by corrupt pollution generating corporations. canada needs to get rid of the harper gang but there's no good option to replace them.

7:32 am

oh, thanks! I'd like like to dedicate this award to all the little people!

7:32 am

Hey gang.

7:33 am

none...when trudeau was in power,we moaned and complained,but now we look back with fondness and realize that he was not such a bad guy

Bye

7:33 am

just how much does the president of the US get paid a year?

7:33 am

Just saying hi before running off to the clinic.

7:33 am

hindsight

7:33 am

any help for fo 7 please

7:33 am

most of the trouble is that they can't pass ther good legislation because the opposition blocks it at every turn and they spend so much time and money undoing the works of the previous powers

7:34 am

Oh Hego, you might miss getting a plaque.

7:34 am

Oh, darn, Merk.

7:34 am

Inge, it ends like the po 8. Get that one first and the fo is a breeze.

7:34 am

I have 2 words to go - the 7 and 8. Any clues?

7:34 am

build on the po 4,5

7:35 am

lol helmut,you know what little people are to big people,road salt they spread on the slippery slope to the top..we are nothing but traction lol

7:35 am

the 8 is a po, and it is the worst of the dirty movies

7:35 am

That's what you get for burying your nose in the grid anike. We've had a few good laughs over the po 4,5 and 8.

7:35 am

the 7 os an fo that ends the same way

7:36 am

Sorry - I've only had the odd moments to duck in and out today and haven't had a chance to check out the chat

7:37 am

po is a major internet problem in the US and elsewhere I assume, especially when it's kids.

7:38 am

Then make it a comparative.

7:38 am

After you get it, the fo 7 is a breeze.

7:38 am

TY for the 8 jacq

7:38 am

yw

7:38 am

very much so merk,we have a 15 year old so we have more security and passwords on our home computers that the fbi has on thiers lol

7:39 am

7:39 am

I'm glad my kids are grown and gone, but then its the grands to fret about.

7:40 am

indeed,my sons friend has problems cause he bypassed the schools security blocks and was caught surfing porn on a library computer;(

7:40 am

I can't believe that fo7. Reminds me the muppet bear.

7:41 am

a lot of kids do it through google because you can change the filters and it isn;t usually detected by security

7:41 am

Someone else said that too.

7:42 am

Yay!! ot the 7 - TY all. Fireworks

7:42 am

9:22 am

bye for now, harpjane!

Hi all! it is so cold today!

9:22 am

hi geek, that bad?

cold for texas - about 37

F

9:24 am

it is definitely wintering here as well. Walking the dog now takes something to keep my head warm, which is saying something because I hate headwear.

9:25 am

don't forget the sunscreen

I think it is always cold in your area! even in summer

i remember wearing wool sweaters in June and July in Oostend

9:26 am

hey BabbleRabble, glad to see you. Lol @ sunscreen. Cloudy Netherlands - great skies but not so much suns.

Babble - how are you?

9:27 am

-5 °F (-21 °C ) Wind Chill: -16 °F (-27 °C)

9:27 am

doing okay

9:27 am

you are probably used to higher temps anyway, geek. In Summer we usually don't wear woolen sweaters or coats, but it's true that we aren't a very warm country.

Wow, just read your profile. I was in an abusive relationship over ten years ago. I can certainly relate to what you posted!

9:28 am

Chag Sameach Michnik

Sprite - I went to the beach in Schevenegen and froze! The locals were in swimsuits. The North Sea is way to cold for me

11:32 am

Me too Mitch.

11:32 am

Very true FM

11:32 am

well, romp on!

11:32 am

*wouldn't mind

11:33 am

GO jmc!!!

11:33 am

he may be disappointed in my *ahem* more mature body

11:33 am

Or give it a go, maybe.

11:33 am

I agree it would be nice to see if the spark is still there, and if its not there is nothing lost

11:33 am

his might be more mature as well!

11:33 am

He might be thinking the same thing about his body

11:34 am

11:34 am

Lucky that he still has any, as my husband would say LOL

11:34 am

and he does apparently sometimes hang with ozzie ozborn

11:35 am

I just know that they wait until I've got my back turned and then go like the clappers at getting those blessed webs spun.

1:29 pm

I know I know the small ones are fine it's just the really big ones that freak me out.

1:29 pm

On the other hand, if one was biting me personally, I'd smush it.

1:29 pm

fr6/42 - make a present tense, or a plural from fr4/12

1:29 pm

what happens to my hair in the humidity, TeamEd

1:30 pm

You see that Haz is coming at the spider angle from the cleaning persective - the rest of us are just going for the eek factor.

1:30 pm

No, Vicuna... you would capture it for the doc to see!

1:30 pm

Oh, right. That's what I'd do. Good thing I'm so clever as to remember that, Aloy! lol

1:30 pm

I know! They don't bother me so much in themselves, it's the evidence of their having been there that bothers me.

thanks aloy;) and haz

1:32 pm

Yep, we're all blooming, thanks, FM. Let's see, great heights...

1:32 pm

Flask - po8 - superlatively sleazy. Think of a film least likely to get a U certificate.

1:32 pm

Hi JMC....

1:33 pm

They are playing a duet in a concert tonight...

1:33 pm

Hi Flask - who is the little person in your icon?

1:33 pm

They found a cure for cancer...

1:33 pm

(Alas, just kidding about that last.)

1:33 pm

Any madrigal composing going on, VI?

1:33 pm

My brand new grandson....Alexander John MacLean!!

1:33 pm

Ah so the ToG are flourishing, great to hear :)

1:33 pm

Congrats GrannyFlask!

1:34 pm

Who is Larry Flint?

1:34 pm

Nov. 11th

moles moles and more moles

1:34 pm

TOG-boy actually does like messing about with composing... but no, no madrigals. And by his age Mozart had already written 2 operas and a symphony or so, so no genius for us.

1:36 pm

umm a few but not prepared to fess up at this point.

1:36 pm

sometimes lickety gets carried away

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

ro5/12 - famous Montague

1:44 pm

1:45 pm

1:45 pm

1:46 pm

Bye Vicuna

1:46 pm

bye vic

1:47 pm

Haz, how's spangle doing?

1:47 pm

She's fine, hego. She was at the groomer today and came back all beautiful with a Christmas goody bag!

1:48 pm

Aaaaahhhh

1:48 pm

nice of the groomer

1:48 pm

We've cheated and allowed her one of the biscuit/bone things. She's not into keeping things for too long.

1:49 pm

Hubby works at a big vet haospital.

1:49 pm

She's been going to the same groomer for years. Apparently she 'stands like a lady' while all is done to her.

1:49 pm

i am guessing spangle is not too into christmas per se

1:49 pm

Last week we had a take you pets picture with Santa to benefir th SPCA

1:50 pm

I didn't know that, hego! My husband is a vet, specialising in large animals but working in a mixed practice.

1:50 pm

All the pets got goody bags.

1:50 pm

No, Spangle lets Christmas pass her by. I don't buy into the whole stockings for dogs for Christmas etc - husband would think I'd lost my mind.

1:52 pm

Hubby isn't a vet. He's a building doctor. Makes sure the place doesn't fall down.

1:52 pm

That's pretty important as well, hego.

1:53 pm

Some of our best friends are vets, however.

1:53 pm

Our practice recently opened a branch surgery and all the vets were oohing and aahing at how well the plumbers and electricians could do their jobs.

1:53 pm

It's actually a big job Haz. It's called property manager.

1:54 pm

How big is the hospital?

1:55 pm

He must make sure all is in good working order from the plumbing to the anaesthesia machines.

1:55 pm

It's huge!

1:56 pm

They do everything there. including grooming and boarding.

1:57 pm

I'm sure he's kept busy, in that case. There's a lot of wear and tear on a building, not to mention all the piddling!

1:57 pm

Ah, yes, rots things, youknow.

1:57 pm

the piddling isn't piddling?

1:57 pm

clue please for pr6/27 please?

1:58 pm

pr6/27 - the sort of wee stove you used to use on picnics.

1:59 pm

aah!........Such memories Haz!...lol

1:59 pm

Okay, time I was away. Nice to have a chat - it's been busy here over the past few days and haven't had much chance to do more than get the grid done.

1:59 pm

Yes, Flask, pr6 stoves, windswept beaches etc!

1:59 pm

Bye for now!

1:59 pm

The look up says it's a bishop in the Scottish Epicopal Church.

1:59 pm

thanx...and g'nite Haz!

1:59 pm

2:05 pm

bye all

2:11 pm

I am not understanding the pr6/27 clue... can someone clue it differently, please?

2:12 pm

2:12 pm

Maybe youhave to be european to get the clue?

2:13 pm

I think the stove is a european stove

2:13 pm

there should be backup grids. like, only one per day that "counts" but then one or two extras you can do if you're having a slow day. how bout it doc? :)

Right. Because we need more of these to suck the life out of our days . . .

One is enough for me!

3:54 pm

hi Hursh. You'll have to contact MRP, apparently Lickety made her an 800 one - wouldn't that be fun!

3:54 pm

well if you are at work with nothing to do the life is already sucked out of your day! and this would put a modicum of life back IN.

3:55 pm

hmm, i don't know about staring at the SAME grid for long enough to find 800 words...

3:55 pm

there is just noooo satisfying you

3:56 pm

that's true. that happens with depressive types.

I was looking at some of your profiles, and most of you seem to be women of about my age with a lot interests

in common with me

For some reason when I started I assumed you were a bunch of men, but I should have figured with all the chat relationships. Why are so many women of around our age on the playing this game and chatting? What does this say?

3:58 pm

what age are you talking about Kaplan?

Studies say that women are naturally more gifted with words, in the way that men are naturally better with math and spatial relationships, though of course that is a rule not an ironclad law

3:59 pm

Or of course, I wouldn't be here ;)

3:59 pm

Hi Nancy Boy! long time no see

Heh! But I notice more men than women are regulars at the ironsudoku boards

4:00 pm

even a lot of our guys are gay - i wonder if there is a connection.

Well, I don't know how old you are, but there seems to be a lack of people in their 20s and 30s.

4:00 pm

Heya Lynx :) I've been travelling a lot, so I haven't been on. Had to come back to england tho - ran out of money!!

4:00 pm

*waves from the thirtysomething crowd*

I'm a verrrrry late thirty something

I got hooked once on another chat thing with a group of women who watch a certain soap opera! In fact, 30 of us have been talking for 5 years.

Hello, kids

4:01 pm

How lovely NancyBoy, an advantage of being in the UK, so close to so many countries

4:01 pm

I now feel like a big, male, nineteen-year-old odd foot.

*ppppttthhhhbbbtttttt* backatcha

yesterday you thought I was a teenage boy.

Because I'm fresh sometimes

4:02 pm

having unusual interests for a 19 year old male is a GOOD thing.

4:03 pm

Got that right, Lynx :) how have you been?

There are always exceptions to the general rule

4:04 pm

I don't know Hursh, sometimes I think I'm a girl in the wrong shape. Gender schmender.

I just revealed my gender.

I think that "genderqueer" ought to be an official choice on the US Census. Who do I talk to about that?

4:05 pm

This is a public place now ;)

How boring. I liked being a guy.

4:05 pm

*runs into the chog + slide-tackles NB*

4:06 pm

Evaaaa! how are you, gorgeous?!

4:06 pm

gorgeous, of course. :) hehe how are YOU??

4:07 pm

hi Eva

4:07 pm

And look at that ring!! congratulations :D

4:07 pm

thanky, thanky. :)

4:08 pm

how have you been, stranger??

4:08 pm

and I'm alright ta, a little poor and exhausted and hungry-looking following a long trip with some friends - been all around the world, caught some interesting diseases, almost married some people - GREAT time!

I just neutered myself.

4:09 pm

hungry-looking? as opposed to all those extra pounds you were carrying before? ;)

4:10 pm

Food money has a horrible way of turning into drink money, cigarette money and hair gel money ;) buuuut what terribly old news. Tell me about this engagement! Exactly the lift I needed :)

4:12 pm

he asked, i said yes. yknow, the usual. ;)

4:13 pm

Sorry, I just think it's so romantic. Although like most babies, I cry at weddings.

4:14 pm

it was a lovely, sickeningly-sweet romantic proposal. just unique enough to suit us. :)

4:15 pm

Must be off, lovely bright morning here - Bye all

4:16 pm

well, hope it turns into a lifetime of happiness and all that :) y'know the one thing I really regret about being gay is that I'll never have a huge cushy wedding. But it's not all about the frock I s'pose ;)

4:16 pm

who says you cant? you do what makes you happy!

4:16 pm

see you, Lynx :)

4:18 pm

My father would faint, kill me, kill himself - not necessarily in that order. Think it'd be the last nail in the carefully crafted denail coffin!

4:19 pm

you can get married here Nancy....Vermont allows gat marriage and is a great place for a wedding (well not now in the middle of winter unless you're a ski bunny)

4:19 pm

or even denial. interesting slip :D

4:19 pm

we probably would allow "gat" marriages too.

4:19 pm

LOL

hi everyone! love that slip Nancy Boy! lol

4:20 pm

hi all

4:20 pm

Well I do try ;)

4:21 pm

ahh, padre still a little uneasy with the lifestyle?

4:21 pm

It would be lovely, lovely, lovely, but my dad's kind of hard-core and believes my life since the age of 14 has been a "phase". He was brought up really traditionally back in Korea. I think he'd disown me.

4:22 pm

But the heart wants what it wants!

4:23 pm

winchill -17 and dropping..brrrr

And you MUST follow your heart!

hahahahahaha Crossie, so pleased I escaped! lol

4:23 pm

*cue hollywood music, sunset shots etc*

4:24 pm

LOL Lindrick, most we're dealing with in England is just wet, wet, wet

POUNCE

4:24 pm

man, now ive got the hideous celine dion song from titanic rolling through my mind...

Nancy hun i have so missed you.

4:25 pm

ahh, now i see why NB likes to run away from babble + come back. he rather enjoys being pounced upon. ;)

Eva I love that ring

4:25 pm

I DO love the attention. Herin! :D how are you?!

4:26 pm

lol eav,my son and his friends have a game with thier i-pods,they play russian roulette with the songs,they set it to shuffle and randlomly listen to song clips...the bullet is when one of the hits a celiene dion song!!

4:26 pm

TY herin. me too! :)

sorry I am in a hotel and my connection seems so slow, I just can't keep up today!

4:27 pm

a fate worse than death, crossy!

4:27 pm

my wife calls her "the scramer"

4:27 pm

though i do secretly like the song "im alive'

4:27 pm

Isn't it bizarre that when you look at the songs on your ipod, you love all of them, but when you put your ipod on shuffle, you like about 1/15 of them

4:27 pm

i call her "awful"

4:28 pm

very true, NB!

Nancy did yuo know that shuffle isn't all that random

gotta go, cya later, bye xxx

Lind hi and loves

Hi Crossie

4:29 pm

5:11 pm

5:12 pm

can you get into the bathtub to lower your fever?

Get off babble and sleep

5:13 pm

go from warm to cool. Wrap up really well before getting out of the bathroom

5:13 pm

wouldn't like to, with the two littleones in the house and no primo...could later though

102 is serious, trif. and the fluid question, as much as you can handle, i would suggest

5:13 pm

can't herin, primo isn't home eyt

what get off babble?

suggest tylenol if you have it, it is a fever reducer

5:13 pm

thanks

5:14 pm

water is good, but add a little salt to help you drink more and retain water

5:14 pm

do you have any crackers?

salt will dehydrate you, though. hmmm

hi Gwen

hiya infernal

5:15 pm

you can add motrin to the fever reducing mix

5:15 pm

my doc has me do 4 hr intervals of tylanol and motrin with the kids

I have a giigle

caution, motrin is concentrated aspirin, so if aspirin makes you sick, avoid the motrin

phantom: promise

they just had a recall on childrens motrin

causeing blindness ans some sort of blood infection

ew, not nice! but glad they are recalling it

5:23 pm

Book if you have issues go to www.farmville.com

5:57 pm

mu6 clue please?

5:58 pm

NM, I found it

damn Gwen that is irritating

Fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:01 pm

Yahoo Ed!

yah Te

now gotta wait 5 hrs till the flip grrrr

6:02 pm

clue for na6 please?

6:02 pm

don't growl, team ... won't be long before we get a barrage of huge grids :)

I am going laters

I want a huge grid

6:03 pm

i like them too (these small ones leave me wanting more, more, more)

6:03 pm

I like 150-170 words--just right for me.

6:04 pm

na6= a sick, sick word

6:04 pm

na6 - upset stomach, indigestion, na****

6:05 pm

hi mm!

6:05 pm

I just found it but TY for clues.

6:05 pm

hi welki

6:06 pm

MM, it's late for you

belated wtg edward !!! ~~~ !!!

thx

6:06 pm

You're telling me scrabs

6:07 pm

Loud thunder overhead! So odd with snowstorm.

cant wait till we get a 2?? grid

6:07 pm

I went to see 'Law Abiding Citizen' today

6:07 pm

we get that here sometimes .. spooky, isn't it

6:07 pm

soooooo my doorbell rang and it was the UPS man with my cute little acer aspire.. it is so tiny!

6:07 pm

oh yes, i have had thundering snowstorms and it is eerie

farmville also sucks up all my processing power. it's making babble all jerky.

6:08 pm

I am using mine right now, Doren!!! I have the blue one.

what's an acer aspire?

6:08 pm

funny. me too (the blue one). but i have to charge it.

6:08 pm

minis make travelling much lighter ... and they're powerful little machines. i have an hp and love it when on the road

6:08 pm

I have been very happy with mine, Doren--small, easy to transport, does everything I need it to do, and a bargain.

6:09 pm

this will be my dedicated babble machine. once i found out how cool babble expert was, i had to have one. I love my mac, but needed this!!

6:09 pm

it doesn't even weigh three pounds.. can't believe this can work!

6:10 pm

bdg, it is a tiny laptop.. under $300 and apparently quite good

6:10 pm

Yes, so e-mail yourself the Babble Expert document.

6:10 pm

only downfall is battery longevity, but i understand you can buy super-duper ones now

6:10 pm

My battery lasts 6 hrs

does it have a phone and a coffee maker in it? lol

6:11 pm

and you can buy extended batteries for them that will give you signifcantly extended time. Nieces machine came with 2200mah battery and I bought her a 7800mah battery. should give her 9-12 hours.....

6:11 pm

i'll do that, scrabs. first i have to charge it and read about it... it looks different from what i'm used to. but now i can't wait to come home from school tomorrow and play with it. i just got fireworks, so it will wait till tomorrow

6:11 pm

you must have one of the 9 cells

6:12 pm

Yes, I bought the $379 model with 6 hr battery

wtg dorens !!! ~~~ !!!

6:14 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

6:14 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

good, a bit chilly. and guess what, i paid off my not-car-loan today, weee

6:15 pm

Hi Min.

6:15 pm

yay, gwen

6:15 pm

Dorens, I hope you treuly have fun with your new little computer. We have three or four in the family now and find them great to take around.

6:16 pm

Hi Stidgmere

6:16 pm

Finishing paying loans is a RED letter day or maybe it is black.

6:16 pm

Hello stidgmere! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

red letter day for me. payment was due 10 days ago. but no big penalty at least. not an evil bank loan, a credit union loan

6:17 pm

I paid off my mortgage last January--wonderful feeling to have that done.

6:17 pm

Hi Scrabbler and all. I've been out choosing a tree today and my husband is now very crabby. I think it has to do with the price of trees while we are surrounded by the same ones.

6:17 pm

tu5 clue please?

yup, feels good!

6:17 pm

I agree, Stid.

6:17 pm

Hi all - wahhhh, net down at home, now here at the library and just getting started - no one in here, though, weather's too icky out!

arnold would say it's not a tu***!

6:18 pm

Hi rbud

6:18 pm

arnold who?

6:18 pm

ok, it is plugged in. i can't wait to play with it. and thanks stidgmere, I expect i will

does that help, ? okay, tu5, cancerous growth

6:18 pm

the Governator of California ;)

say it with an austrian accent. 8-)

6:19 pm

Weather is a real factor in much of the country today. We are still below freezing day and night.

6:19 pm

Fish! I didn't go that way in the grid.

does the po8 relate to the previous word?

(sending scrabbler an alibut)

6:19 pm

yes it does gwen

ooh, just got it. weee

6:21 pm

oooh, feels so good to be babbling, was having withdrawals...

6:21 pm

Doren, the "mouse" on this netbook is the main thing I dislike--I need to use 2 hands--index fingers--to use it--very tough with 1 hand

6:22 pm

Or, Doren, get a real mouse and all is simple

6:22 pm

i was looking at it scrabbler and not figuring it out at all... hoping the book might explain a bit more

6:23 pm

ahhah! real mouse would be good for at home, but I think i probably should learn how to use the built in one when travelling

6:23 pm

It is a strange creation, Doren but I do with with both index fingers

6:25 pm

i have faith.. eventually i will figure it out. and then just load babble expert and i'll be set. i will be sooo happy tomorrow

6:25 pm

Yes you will, Doren!

6:25 pm

ro5/12 please?

6:25 pm

it's a fish, do you still want it?

ro5, words that have the same ending. poetry

(spelled wrong)

6:26 pm

I found Juliette's frined!

ack, wrong clue, ignore me!!

6:26 pm

ro*** and juliet

6:26 pm

I mean friend of Juliet

6:26 pm

yup-- so no fish then!

6:27 pm

12 to go, all pr's

not a problem ar ar

okay, can i relax now? lol

6:37 pm

Thanks, Book!

6:38 pm

Yes, Doren, I awoke yesterday, then power went off and came on 1 min later. House temp = 58 degrees. I needed a new "motor head" for $95 repair.

6:38 pm

Yay Gwen

6:38 pm

Buttonman, I struggled with it too--maybe it reflects our clean minds to have missed po8, haha

6:39 pm

oy!

6:39 pm

gglad it was only a $95 repair scrabbler... furnaces can be so expensive

6:39 pm

Ahoy, matey! Yikes, here comes the snowplow, grrrrrr

6:40 pm

lol...yay snow plow

6:41 pm

It is SO loud--a low roaring monster coming around the bend and up the street. It will come down the street in a few minutes.

6:41 pm

they are useful

better a noisy plaw than no plow, especially with 5 feet of snow or whatever!

6:42 pm

Absolutely! Especially with a lake effect storm bringing 3 ft of snow from today through Saturday.

although driving a tiny littel car in 5 feet of snow can be kinda fun, too, hee hee

(crap, my fingers are brainless)

6:43 pm

well all we have for tonight is very cold and windy. no three feet of snow. enjoy your evening everyone.. i'm done for now

bye dorens. i'm out too. POINK

pr + the last part of rhyming verses

9:45 pm

Excuse me, but tomorrow's theme is Hanukkah, or Chanukah, which begins at sundown.

9:46 pm

Tomorrow's grid Mpittore. You pick a word from the grid as your icon to give others an icon clue.We can never get Friday's icon clue the day before since we have to wait for grid which will be at flip time 12:00.

9:46 pm

To check themes, go to Sprite's link: http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz

9:47 pm

Min that's usually the case, but this Friday is different.

9:48 pm

I will still do an icon clue since it is Friday and that is what the theme usually is for Friday. Especially if it's a big grid, I am sure people will need some icon clues.

9:49 pm

I'm not Jewish, but I thought it would be good to honour that date.

9:49 pm

So that's why I suggested the theme.

9:50 pm

se6,33?

9:50 pm

last word

9:50 pm

alternate spelling of having the shakes like a grand mal se6

9:51 pm

ah, thanks!

I'm not Jewish either, but many people are so that is a good idea jillibus. I got company so I may not even babble tomorrow, but I certainly hope to. Can't miss a day without Babble!

9:51 pm

I think I will go with jilli on this, I like her thought to honor the date...I will find a good icon! If tomorrow changes I will find another...it's all ok! Hugs and brb!

9:51 pm

whoooooo hoooooooo JES!!!

9:51 pm

Hello Fellow Babblers. How's it going tonight?

9:53 pm

thanks

9:53 pm

9:54 pm

9:54 pm

hi lbdawger and everyone else. since jili left, does anyone know the origin of ye gods and little fishes?

9:54 pm

very funny ruru

9:54 pm

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

9:55 pm

no.. joey .. but I hate those stupid metal fishes on the backs of cars

9:55 pm

i know what you mean, ruru,

9:55 pm

Hi lbd, Joey, Min, Harpjane and ruru +

9:56 pm

hi nef

9:56 pm

i like the ones with legs on them (the fishes)

9:57 pm

now THAT would be funny lbd

9:57 pm

apparently the saying is an Americanism of a British declaration to the Gods. where the little fishes came from know one seems to know

9:57 pm

is the po8 a compound word?

9:57 pm

nope

9:58 pm

no, it's an extention of the po4 before it, harp, think superlative

9:58 pm

the most of sex videos a very dumb word

9:58 pm

lol

9:58 pm

extention?

9:58 pm

po 8/45 is po 4/5 plus a superlative ending harpjane.

9:59 pm

well, it is...kinda

9:59 pm

From Wikipedia I can help a bit, but the mists of word history obscure its early story. It’s an elaboration of the older ye gods!, an exclamation that dates back at least to the seventeenth century in Britain, a way of calling on higher powers in a mock-heroic way without actually bringing the wrath of the Church down on you for blasphemy. However, ye gods and little fishes is characteristically American, an example of the embellishment and ornamentation that was common in the inflated language of the nineteenth century. I’ve found several examples from the 1850s, which suggest that by then it was well known. A good one appears in Early Indiana Trials and Sketches by Oliver Hampton Smith, of 1858: “Mr. Tyler’s friends in their great devotion to their great chief, have compared him to Napoleon. ‘Ye gods and little fishes!’ John Tyler and Napoleon Bonaparte!”. But why the little fishes? Sorry, I’ve no idea, except there may be a disguised Biblical reference in there somewhere, perhaps to the story of the feeding of the five thousand in St Matthew’s Gospel. My suspicion is that it was a catchphrase from a play or popular song that is now lost to us.

10:02 pm
