DC gave us a new game to play yesterday, almost as addictive as this

so7/8 combo - and howdy
ty freep & hi
hi, freep
http://funny-farm.appspot.com/game/lin x - think this will get you there
ty, justafreep..
hi Freep
wouldn't load for me
let me check what DC gave as link
Hi all, just found this site. Seems like people play regularly?
ty
yes and hi tu
very regularly, Tui
Thanx VMD -
tui you will too 'cause it's addictive
yqw tu! glad to have you
I can see the appeal.. although I only have 9 words. but then, I'm cooking dinner at the same time
didn't know so 8 was a word
me neither, dee
I also am now convinced that there aren't 10 H words in this grid. Must be a typo :-)
agreed
http://funny-farm.appspot.com/ga me/li nx
finished
nj maniac down to 7 left here
gi 7/8 is a weird one, took me a while
Volley looks the same - you get a word in the middle - white - and you have to enter associated words which will lead onto other etc - eg paper
I think you have to have a google account
there is an actual boggle game now at pogo.com
No you don't Volley - I don't
I've played it before without a google account, might be able to locate a link...
lynxx - I find it frustrating since I can make associations that the puzzle maker doesn't. Or it just isn't quite working
link for which
do you use another browser other than IE?
http://shygypsy.com/farm/p.cgi or http://funny-farm.appspot.com/game/li nx ?
your game DC
oh, boggle, my bad :) hello
the second one
ah, in which case, just posted below
first link hints work, and explains how to play
thanks for the gi7/8 mitch. never woulda found those
fireworks
ty for gi 7/8... found all the 7's and 8's
wtg mitch and wtg dart
congrats, dart!
yay, dart!!! and mitch!!!
Congrats Dart!
here's a link for the same game with a food theme: http://funny-farm.appspot.com/game/foo d
(why does it space out so funny?)
well done mitch and dart. and I guess this means there really are 10 H words. huh
congrats, mitch
it should take iggloid - it is a particular shape
halfway, eyes drooping - nite, all! :)
it's funny that olde isn't a word, even though it probably appears more often in print than most babblets
true
I also think "weeing" should be a word...
indeed, and it's a valid archaic form
as wee wee all the way home is weeing
absolutely
yay me finally found all the w's
phants engine digging re6nt ogling thresh doily
I entered engine 6 times :(
jigglier
digging was mine. I think I'll try it once more, just to make sure
nigglier

I really wanted to finish w/o lickety... but coming to a screeeeeeeeeeeeching halt
hi everyone
hi Andree
hi, andree
hi andree
BBL
hi everyone, back from bridge
hi flosey!
bye lyn
hi flosey
everyone is so quiet
felt almost as if I had walked into church!
yes, it's gotten quieter in here flip for couple hours, rather like the same time 12h later
how was bridge flosey?
lol was thinking similar things... sssshhhhh
wonder why?
I always think diem is a word
i have some theories dee, msg me on FB if you'd like to discuss more.
it was a fun night dc, take a trick with a 2 night - we do this once a year
me too dee, have tried it several times
yes, i expect diem to be a word to.
oh, that is fun, flosey :)
fireworks
too. oopsie
congrats, anike
wtg anike!
as in per diem, why not
I did go to lickety at 100 words
especially since there is a space between per and diem
wd anike
yes dee, I agree
good to know anike... have 26 left... haven't peeked yet...
TY all, Can I help with any clues?
oooh, found the so7/8 :)
flosey when we do a special bridge like a birthday or something we always have a deuce prize, it gets passed around for a duece win
and whoever has it at the end keeps the prize
wtg dc
that's really cool, andree
yes Andree, that's the idea, and the last players of the night to take a trick with the 2 gets to keep the prize
okies dont have heart failure but im here two nights in a row lol
hiya, kiwi
ty anike, but can't really help me
wow kiwi howdy!!
hi there Kiwi, good to see you again
hi kiwi
and what happens but the first two words i see are a rudey toy word and its plural lol

why is the grid jumping...big icon out there?

I totally agree flosey; these must be letters I don't like, too
hi all! Very late flip.

hi jilli
hugs jili!!!!!
i have friends who are going to rent it from me at a slightly reduced rental in return for doing all the work that needs doing on it
but Kiwi, what a great chance to get rid of a lot of "stuff" that we tend to collect over the years
not a nice grid?
i did that two years ago flosey remember well it will be two years ago in 19 days lol
wow kiw; great idea; be sure thou to get a contract... friends or not
and 20 days to go til i can go to the courthouse and file my divorce papers lol

mitch and dart and anike finished quickly jili, but flosey and I are struggling (I came to a halt at 106).. but we do have lickety
i agree with dee, i have seen friendships fall apart over less
wow kiwi ... didn't realize it had been that long

2 blanks -- the E on each side
that's unusual for them, isn't it
that was rude naughty darty and ruru
nm the right side -- just got it
I thot so... en 7/40 maybe...
ei 4/5 and ei 5/12
goose down for ei 4
ei 5 the formal content of a culture, encompassing its system of ideas, criteria for interpreting experience, etc.
phant -- engine, as I'm sure you've all noticed
I am getting cautiously excited....
in the next couple of weeks, I am supposed to be getting a new computer (Christmas present from my hubby)...
can you clue the en7 please, dee?
excited but nervous about transfer of files
Oh, lovely, dee -- what kind?
en 7... what Americans, Brits, Canadians speak (the language)..
yes, I know, it's scary
all I know is the brand... haven't seen the specs yet... an HP... hubby emailed my brother and they worked out details (also a bit scary)
swat me with a haddock, duh! But thanks, dee
not sure why that isn't a proper noun though... looking at def
prefer salmon myself but that would be a waste lol
actually a funny story about the puter...
I suppose en7 isn't a proper noun -- you "put the en7 on" a ball to make it go where you want
my brother came at Thanksgiving... I had been complaining about my 10 year old gateway for awhile (it has been an amazing computer, but it is old and slow)... so when my brother was here, he went to my office to "check it out" - to see what might be removed for speed, etc
aww billiards... hadn't thot of that
so NBT :)
wtg jilli
came downstairs, and fortunately hubby was sitting in family room... wtg jili...
golf putting too
go on, dee...
brother said - I can't believe you can even connect to the net... my phone has so much more power than your computer...
oh wow!
and there is nothing more you can remove YAY ME>>>>
I think that is what did it...
my gateway was purchased when they had the "cow" stores, and it truly has been amazing for many, many years...
what a useful brother!
he is a sweetie
have used it for many clients since 1999... lots of Excel worksheets, brochures, publisher flyers, word documents, presentations... published some great looking things...
so this is all a bit scary... as well as incredibly exciting
dee, get an expert to transfer the files
store in town didn't have the one hubby wanted, and my daughter told me today, he drove 1 1/2 hours from here to get it, so I am so hopeful it is wonderful
that is what is happening now jili! He even hired one of his clients to do that... so it is there now with my old one, and this one is a loner....
I'm sure it will be, dee
this is probably the 2nd best present I have gotten in 36 years...
what was the best?
I know it sounds dorky... but having a fast computer is like giving me 3 libraries... I love research...
I know it sounds dorky... but having a fast computer is like giving me 3 libraries... I love research... At 10 years, he gave me my piano... came home from work and it was in our living room with a huge red bow on it...
oh dee, what a great hubby!
oh, and I did get a pretty cool trilliant diamond right before I quit working in 1994
he can be such a brat, and then he does something totally charming LOL
trilliant?
cut in a triangular cut
very interesting looking actually...
dee the first sh5 if you please
oo!
s + he... of cattle
tyk :)
I'd love to get it reset someday... ring hits my arthritic knuckle, so I rarely wear it... but right now still paying for daughter's college (another reason I was surprised at the puter)
and it is supposed to have a printer that is 2 x as fast as the one I have... that will be phenomenal...
Can you tell? I am pretty excited... (doing the happy dance LOL LOL)
other clues kiwi?
what kind of puter do you have jili?
happy for you Dee, will make your work much easier
sure will flosey, and my playing, too tee hee
definitely, that too
oooh saw another cute movie... Night at the Museum 2 (Smithsonian)... Amy Adams is adorable
the we 6/7 combo if it is a combo please
we 6/39... when someone pulls a kid's underwear up their butt... it is called a ....

hi Andree, think it's bedtome for most of us here
12:15 am
probably very late for some flosey
I left for a banana and milk but am back now
darn, missed dee's departure
she said when someone pulls a kid's underwear up their butt... it is called a .... we6/39, but I don't know what that is. Any other clues?
hi jilli try a summer shoe
hi west 1
Hmm -- not a sandal...
like a sandal with a sloping heel
up sloping
a we*** of pie- last vowel + 2 vowels
hi west
hi andree
ah, thanks. I'm not very bright tonight.
did you ever hear of those shoes?
i'm not very bright anytime
they are very much back in fashion
oh yes -- decades ago
I'm very late tonight
I thought it might just be a New England thing we have a lot of strange terms
Andree how is your little guy?
so has that got anything to do with pulling underwear up over butts?
Hi, back. Hi West!
hi lynxxx!
not to be gross but it's pulling underwear up the crack
hi Jilli
hey lyn trade weather with you
and that's like the shoe???
get the undies high between buttocks and its a we****
happy at the moment, thanks anyway West
lol no it's just the same word
I tried lyn, enjoy
west, hugo is very well though not very good
well, live and learn although I'm not sure I wanted to learn that!
hi lynxxx
I think it was a trick boys did to boys mostly
hi Andree - hope you mean behavior and he's not sick?
aww he's got spirit
no lynxxx just so full of energy
are you taking him to Obedience classes, andree?
only another 10 months and he'll settle down - and lots of walking is good for you too
not yet jilli although he does need to go, there are not enough puppies for a class so i have been in touch with trainer and she will come here for a 1 on 1, but i would prefer a class with other dogs so will try furthur afield
phantom:dignity
good for you -- and he sounds as if Agility would be a good idea later!
he is just full of beans, loves everyone and all other dogs and the kids
agility?
he was a good choice wasn't he - how sweet.
Don't they have that in Oz? It's like an obstacle course race.
We do Jilli, probably not as common as where you are
great choice, he is the perfect dog for me even if he is disobedient, he is only 41/2 months after all
will look it up jilli
good -- it looks like loads of fun for everyone
so6/21 please
andree -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_agili ty
don't have it yet Andree
thx jilli
Gee. some of these words are the same words as yesterdays puzzle.
hi dal that happens
so6.21 so5.12 & repeat last vowel
hi Dal
I haven't notice it before.
ty lyn
thx lynxxx
dal I like when words are repeated if I can remember them from the day before lol
You sometimes get 3/4 days with similar letters but rearranged and so the words repeat Dalmation
problem is that the easy words are the ones from yesterday
although it's not a word i tried shilo and remember the same word a day or 2 ago
There is a few nasty new ones in here just to even it out
back later nice to see all of you
bye west
bye west -- guess I'll be in bed when you get back
bye West

Any nibbles with your selling agent Andree? I have also been thinking of ***** (!forgotten her name!) i the West, she was out in the country, hope not near the fires
Congrats Andree!

of course! slaps forehead
no word but then i did not expect much over the holidays
well, 38 left now and bed is calling -- so byebye! *poof*
we never did find out how her daughers op went, she just disapeared after being on every evening to nothing
night Jilli
at least i am consistant in my erratic babbling
Good morning/evening all.
bye jilli
hi haz
Hello! I vaguely remember hearing that Sandyloo had computer problems but that was a long time ago.
remember I did email her and she replied - but that was early after the operation. Her computer was down. Many months later I got a Facebook invitation to her but I deleted that - and all the others I had - can't handle Facebook
ages ago
Good morning Haz
But you're right, her daughter's operation was imminent and then we heard nothing.
lol, me either lynxxx
I've not tried Facebook, lynxxx, some love it, others not so much.
Did you use it for a while, lynxxx?
had my 14 year old grandaughter overnight and she spent 3 hours on facebook, so she was great company... NOT
I know! Imagine sitting at a computer screen for hours talking to other people, very strange behaviour. (Irony intended!)
ha ha
Can't cope with Friend invites from (a) people I don't know and (b) people I do know but don't like and certainly don't want to maintain correspondence with. Twitter seems better - but not joined into that either
Both my daughters use facebook, older one seemed to be obsessed for a while with the farm game.
Yes, I imagine the Friends invite thing must be fraught with tension.
I also don't think I'd like the idea of people seeing what other people have written - do you not have to be very careful? It wouldn't be a problem for me, being so diplomatic all the time.
Andree, is corn flour the same as corn meal?
Oh Haz - you must try this game DC recommended....http://funny-farm.appsp ot.com/game/linx....you will like it.
i would be in a state about not wanting certain persons but how would you knock them back without appearing rude
I'll take a note of it, lynxxx, thanks.
No Dalmation...its like very fine white flour
no dalma
Is corn flour fine like regular flour?
shert
Exactly my problem Andree
its finer and has a silky feel
you just click ignore their friend invitation, they don't know you've done that
I am not sure we have that here. I am going to have to look for it.
So it doesn't come up with flashing lights and sirens 'Ata has decided to ignore you'?
it seems that once you are on facebook you just let anyone even if only aquaintances on
nope, not at all
I only have people I wish to talk to on mine
Good morning Ata...and have you got the Word Link game open too
maybe called cornstarch [i think]
So, if you deny a friend invite, do they not put two and two together and have a sulk?
yes lyn!
I have it open, what do I guess?
I had to beat my daughter to get off my game!
only if they bother to look whether you've actually denied it or whether you just havent see it / couldn't be bothered to answer it
and hi ata
and hi!
the only annoying thing about the word game is that it doesn't take so many obvious answers
You have white in the centre Haz?.put paper in and see what happens. you are really looking for linked compound or associated words
oh, of course, we have cornstarch - here it is used as a thickener. I cannot imagine putting it in shortbread.
Okay....
try it, we use it as a thickener too
The cornflour works, dalmatia, it gives a nice crispness to the shortbread.
I am going to try your recipe Andree
It is great Dalmation - I know, I made mountains! Andree's dad was right
thanks
hurshy's going to be pleased today, her cat is in the grid.
TOlkien would be horrified that nigglish wasn't allowed
and Diem is here too
and I can assure you that weeing is something we all do!
(Pssst, Ata, do you suppose that if lynxxx did like facebook and that if I had a facebook acount, would she let you and me be friends? I've had a crisis of confidence)
(oooo good question. Probably not. but at least we can identify what breed Stew is, so we have a hope)
I know, and we do ask kindly after him often.
see - I can't even understand what you are saying. facebook is not for old ladies!
You're not old, lynxxx, you're just mature for your age!
you're the last person I'd consider as old!!
Three words you should never attach to any sentence to a women 'for your age'.
You mean you'd think I was old before you'd think that lynxxx was old?
and speaking of Stew, did you get a chance to look at that woman's dog drawings Ata?
yes! they are really lovely, aren't they? I love people who can capture personality in drawings
dinner time for me, daughter had cooked tonight so i must go and show appreciation, by all and happy babbling
Just found ol6/21 - very relevant!
How nice to be spoilt, bye Andree and Hugo
Bye Andree, nice to see you and enjoy dinner.
and let me know how the shorbread goes dalma
I really did enjoy the guessing game the other day when people tried to work out Stew was a greyhound
Is it not obvious that Stew is a greyhound?
I think so!
it ranged from an afghan to goodness knows what lol
Afghan? My word!
great dane. I've always been pretty interested in dogs - I suppose others aren't
Great Dane? At least nobody guessed a Chihuahua. Please tell me they didn't.
not that they admitted to
I'm with you, lynxxx, always liked to know dog breeds, but they keep coming up with more. I'm okay on the old faithfuls.
surely Stew has been weeing on lynxx's car wheels
and hello everyone - stupid enable
Hello, ursh.
hi Ursh
i even tried it with 3 e's
That would be a wee bit heavy on the vowels.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMPvDWs 1MmY&feature=related ... this is exactly what Stew is doing now
Just checking - is icing sugar our powdered sugar and is a moderate oven about 350 degrees?
awwwww! play play mom!
yes to the icing sugar
of 350 is what you cook a cake at, yes
Morning all
thank you
Good morning, FM!
FM!
goodmorning FM
Hi Haz, much of the white stuff your way? Helloooo Ata and lynxxx
Greetings, oh Fair Maiden!
that sould be "oh grey maiden" :)
Don't talk to me about white stuff. Yes, it snowed again last night. We haven't had any kind of thaw since before Christmas.
and more forecast for today too, they say we could get up to 10"!
Grey Maiden doesn't sound as good.
Or even Fairly Grey Maiden, it sounds so indecisive.
Wouldn't that be good Haz, no slush or is it too icy?
true
It's too icy, lynxxx.
Brakes on my car were frozen yesterday but finally managed to use the car about 3pm.
The problem was that we had about 5 inches of snow before Christmas, It got packed down hard on the pavements, we then had a very little rain which froze so5 and turned already treacherous pavements into ice-rinks.
And now we have more snow on top of the ice.
snow is copable with but the ice makes everything treacherous.
It's been the coldest December in NI for 30 years. I don't remember a period of such sustained iciness.
Bought a pair of wellies yesterday in the hope that their deep tread will be useful for navigating my hill.
See I always expected that all of GB would have snow in Winter...lots, just like in all those Christmas cards
I know the Americans will have tales to tell of -300 with a windchill of 15,000, but while they're not about, we'll have a little moan.
Sounds like you need those ski poles with spikes on the end!
LOL Haz
Parts of Scotland will have snow every year - over here we'll have a bit but it usually melts quickly. Not this year.
lynxx we have had very mild winters in the south for the last few decades, nothing like we are experiencing now.
That's the thing, lynxxx. Places like Austrai and Switzerland can deal with the stuff because they get huge quantities every year. They're equipped. We're not ready, not even for silly amounts.
so is this like the ol*** days?
looking out the window now - yes lynxxx :)
So apart from the cold how is everyone?
Husband is thoroughly fed up trying to navigate icy country roads, plus it's dangerous to try to move livestock within the farms because of ice.
Apart from the cold, I'm fine. How are you?
Is F still home or has she gone back to Edinburgh?
poor outside animals
She's back to Edinburgh, caught her flight yesterday. She wasn't looking forward to going back, her flat is not well heated.
poor Sppangle in her kennel
Am happy and warm, have kitchen full of food and can slide to the the shops so am not complaining *grin*
Note: I didn't say that!
Spangle has been sleeping inside for the past three nights....
Wow!
Yay, happy dog!
you are spoiling her.
she has??! she settled down inside?! wow
did she try and sneak up the stairs
I know. I'm just an old softy. Husband thinks it's the slippery slope.
looool i bet he does
and she didn't wake you up at 3am to get outside?
Next you will be upgrading her gruel
lol
I put her in the kitchen with the light on in the utility room and closed the door. I don't know if the light kept her happy or what. And no, she never needs to go out through the night.
but she didn't try to get back to her kennel? she's obviously realised the joy of inside ;)
No, she settled down. However, last night, I did put her in her kennel. Apparently she barked and daughter went down and let her out.... A precedent has been set.
Spangle will now be expecting central heating and /or air con in her kennel from now on, you do realise.
I think so .... she gets the kitchen from now on!
It'll take husband to put her into the kennel to get her back into the normal routine. She's so obedient for him that she trots straight into the kennel, doesn't even take time for a pre-bed piddle!
Loving yr icon Ata
awwww. he's a hard taskmaster
she's such a bouncy girl :)
awe Spangle
I know. I keep on the right side of him. I don't fancy sleeping in the garage.
ROFL!
LOL
Ata, looking at bouncy Hobbit and the picture of Cone of Shame Hobbit - there's bound to be room for a Before and After campaign.
lol yes! talk about extremes of doggy faces
I think husband feels a bit miffed that his 'double-insulated' kennel that he lovingly customised for her, is being neglected.
tell hubby that he could sleep in it just to test out his handywork;)
You've seen the size of him?
good morning everybody! about 20 in of snow since yesterday and it's beautiful!
Mr Haz, she is not a sheep. She can't survive winter nights on windswept fells!
hi Ruby
Good morning, ruby. 20 inches of snow is a lot!
Talking of which - did you see that news item about the people that got snowed in on the Yorshire moors in a pub for 3 days?
Ah good point Haz. Morning ruby
At least they made it to a pub.
They were there celebrating New Years Eve
it's a hard life
You could think of worse places to be snowed in
did I hear in a pub for 3 days? Heaven!
2 people and a dog got rescued from dover cliffs yesterday, all 3 with frostbite / hypothermia
There could be worse places to find shelter. I wonder if they imposed the smoking ban? Health and Safety will probably carry out tests to make sure.
They had 8 foot snow drifts . Heavens Ata!
The Landlord was not there so a regular took over the bar and everyone pitched in with cooking etc etc.
I hope they did the washing up.
Trust Haz!
I know. I'm so predictable.
wonder how much booze they drank
Health and Safety will probably want to know as well so that they can lecture them on their allowed units.
absolutely
Everything was paid for aparently and the Landlord "only" charged them £10 a night to stay there. The pub is up for sale btw.
wow!
Did they all have beds to sleep in?
as long as it had heating
I doubt it, there were 30 people I think and it didn't look that big a building.
back in 5 mins.
I don't think I'd have charged if they weren't all sleeping in beds.
Probably the best NYE party they will ever have
The only problem is that they won't be able to remember it!
with that many people in a small building, it probably wouldn't need heating!
ok, I'm going to head into Canterbury. I wish to go to the sales, much to husband's disgust
Hopefully, they put all the snorers together in the outbuildings.
I thought he would approve of bargains?
Bye Ata, have fun but only get what you really really need
I need to buy some winter shoes. Apparently I don't, apparently my summer snadals should be able to get me through the winter, according to him
Yes, the golden rule, would you have picked this item if it wasn't reduced in price?
Your poor cold feet. Of course you need winter shoes!
my mother nearly had a fit when she saw me wearing them the other day, so she informed me I *would* be going to buy some new shoes!
I'd obey my mother over husband any day :)
You are wise and your feet will thank you.
Good shoes/boots and wellies!
they will! so that is the plan :) I shall return with bags of stuff! :)
*poofs snowily*
Happy hunting!
ByeAta!!!!!
and I must go and get some dinner. BBL
See you, lynxxx.
If we had a u or an extra o we could have an igloo/iglu.
Is that our cue to also get on with the day Haz? What are your plans?
I'm about to head off as well, yes. A spot of ironing, a walk with Spangle, a few bits and pieces of internet business.
Nothing too earth-shattering, but it's nice not to have to go too far.
we're invited to lunch, not far, but straight up and the snow will be really tough for me. Husband will have to push from behind!
and I am desperately trying to get back into a work routine but failing badly So I will wish you a happy day and perhaps see you later. Bye lynxxx too
LOL ruby bon apetit!
Have a good day, FM.
bye fmtch
bye haz
Hope the push isn't too taxing for your husband - that lunch had better be worth it! Bye for now, ruby. I'll be back later.
actually, he's not speaking to me, so he may try to drown me in a drift lol - ruefully
Surely not! Be safe, ruby.
thank you
just up for a little while before hopefully going back to sleep. Is this as nasty a grid as it looks or am I just still sleep befuddled?
Good morning all......any chance of a clue for gi7 and gi8 please??
good morning, flask! just started the puzzle
ok Brookie
sorry-don't have it yet
god morning babblers - puzzle looks meaner than the weather
it is indeed and that's saying a lot
"good"
It is bojazz lol
Hi bojazz... and i agree
this grid keeps making me think of Maurice Chevalier
Maybe if I just keep making up words, some of them will stick
you go Brookie!
OK, Eva, and forgive my ignorance, but who is Maurice Chevalier? It sounds like you made a witty comment that went completely over my head.
Maurice Chevalier was before your time Brookie, but you can look him up. He starred in a movie called Gigi
Will google once I stop feeling lazy :-)
too bad sodding isn't here. Aas in "this sodding grid!
evening everyone
morning berri
i love the movie gigi, it was one of my favourites as a girl
ah-just found the so7/8 combo. Actually normal words
Thanks heavens....for little girls
that movie really seems very wrong in a lot of ways now that i've grown up a bit
Maurice Chevalier was so much an emblem of the times. I don't think he was all that talented. Couldn't really sing, or act all that well...but he was soooo French and soooo charming.
I don't remember the plot. Was he a dirty old man in it?
well, ginglish - the language one might speak when inebriated didn't work
cant remember it too clearly, but I believe there is an underlying story of gigi falling in love with him
Evan any chance of a clue for the so7/8 combo please?
it's all very innocent, but i think we could read more into it if we wanted to
Eva...sorry!...that was a typo!
people who serve in the armed forces-and then make a noun out of the activity
using the sometimes vowel
thanks eva
thanx Eva.....
gildo ( a precious metal sex toy) doesn't work either. I'm getting desperate. Time to try to go back to sleep for a while.
i found if amusing that the first word i found was sexual
mine too
Eva - wrong consonant for the toy
nice to be in good company
berri - me too!
and even plural
what? you've got more than one? lol
does anyone have clues for the 8 words
thanks bojazz!!
dyne
sorry!
thanks brookie but i have that one
thx berri
id7/id8.....to woship someone...maybe someone famous
ooops - Brrokie
thanks for the clues, flask! and bojazz, i knew what you meant :-)
so 7 - infantryman; so 8 -- the craft
gi7/gi8.....contains 3 x the 3rd vowel....
Hi BR
Hello
Hi BR! Flask,thanks for the clue, still working on it...
Hi, can someone tell me how many words there are for today, please?
Too many, sheimi
132
132
Thank-you, Brookie.
And BabbleRabble. :D
Lol, the first bit of my Babble name is in the grid today. :)
good observation!
Lol, thank-you Brookie!! :)
I have only got 6 words so far, I can't seem to get anymore!
There are only 6 real words in the grid today.
Real words? What do you mean by that, Brookie?
I was just joking... it just seems like there are too many obscure words in the grid today
Ah, I see what you mean... Alot of these words seem Gobbledegook, don't they? Lol.
exactly
How many words do you have so far?
So far 65 words.
You have exactly 55 words more than me... This grid is impossible! Lol.
gotta go now, need to check on baby, have a great day!
first D - starts a singers name
bye Brookie
Bye Brookie, come back soon.
Oh, hello Bojazz! Didn't know you were there
Wow, I just took a guess and typed in this random word I got from the grid, and it's a ctually a word! Lol!
hanging' out with breakfast
Lol :) How many words have ya got so far?
at 26 & holding
Yeah... I'm not doing so good either =[
hello you lot - I've never met you all before as I'm usually at work..........closed today for snow, so it's happy babbling for me!
Hello
morning Dipp
Hey again Bo
HMM... CAN'T FIND ANY MORE WORDS! lOL.
Oopsie, didn't mean to type in caps. Silly me. :)
get the word for the language you speak?
Oh wow, thanks! I can't believe I missed that!
Thanks Bo :)
I think I'm going to have to give up on this one for now... Be back later... Seeya Bojazz, and everyon else if there is anyone else on Lol x
Peace! \\//
bye Sheimi
gm e1
gm oodle
hi haven't been on a while!
Welcome Back
wb smiles
ty all
you can check out but you just can't leave . . . mwah ha ha haaaaaaa
(Hotel California)
isn't that just the way?
Exactly half way...hello everyone
hi annie
hi annie
hi oodle, was out in the kitchen making a pot of coffee
and hi jean
well dear annie please get your priorities straight as babble is first and foremost regardless of your physical condition hmmmmm
does anyone have a clue for the gi 7/44 and gi8/60?
sounds like the combination of 2 spices - start of one end of 'tother - both fiery
I AM kidding... I usually have hot cocoa and hazelnut flavoured coffee
but it is instant
as you long as you are enjoying the cocoa and instant coffee, that's fine
hello dipp...the first part of the gi clue is easy..but the end....hmmmm
i mix them... i guess you are a real coffee drinker... no sugar or cream eh?
cream, no sugar
thank hyou so much dippnall - I tried everything for those words!
checked def: sesame seed oil - new to me!
Hi Aniie - how are you keeping?
Annie - sorry
Keeping well Dippnall and you? I havent seen you for ages.
is one a pickling spice?
hi mom
School closed today - snow - so babbling away
Hi annie...sorry.. got caught up in the clue.
I got the gi7...had to google sesame oil...
and plural
hello again, back for a short time
just not getting it...
hi again, lynxxxie
hard to clue
looked up sesame oil and got a word that ends in the sometime vowel, anyway... doesn't fit.
I will figure it out.
as dippnall said, start of one spice usually in chinese foods (at least in the US) and the other one is ch***( hot spice)
new way to clue this monster ****er and ch***( 2 spices)
Hello all! Another frigid morning here---18 F.
got it...
hi Scrabs
the funny thing is that I am making chicken ch*** for dinner tonight, LOL.
Hi Scrabs... did you snowshoe it yesterday, LOL?
Hi Scrabbs
Your clues went right over me--I am not a spice girl, haha
Yesterday was a work + relax day, Mom2, after snowshoeing for 3 days in a row
another way---****er Rogers and ch*** con carne
I was just kidding... I just recall people asking you if you were going to snowshoe to work.
I got it! What the heck is that word?
sesame oil Scrabbs
What? You don't have it in your cabinet???
It's 8 miles to main office, 24 to the Indian Reservation Clinic
You would have to leave at midnight if you were planning on going the snowshoe route, LOL.
I am such a simple, basic cook. It's a big deal for me to even use salt +/or pepper.
A friend recently gave me a container of curried pumpkin soup and she said, "It's not too hot" after I inquired. So when I tried it later at home---I almost had to call the Fire Dept to squelch the inferno in my mouth, esophagus + stomach!
omg scrab... like the time I was invited to these indians for dinner... I said it was a 'bit' hot... (my mouth was burning!!!) and they told me it wasn't hot enough for them.
My phantom = indigo
Hi Oodle. Isn't it funny how people have different preferences and tolerances for taste + spice + hotness?
good morning eveyone ;)
Hi Crossy!
Hi crossy
it is all a matter of getting used to it... my mother started using cayene on her food instead of salt and it was very hot to begin with... you could see it on her face but now she can stand very hot... hotter than I can
hi cross
hi Cross
I don't like it when a spice overwhelms the other flavors.
i find that too intense of a spice just mask the flavour of the food you are trying to taste'
snap
Hi Lynxxx
but if it is too hot for me to enjoy my food I don,t like it
I am going to the kitchen to refill my coffee mug. Anybody want some coffee?
put some cocoa in it and you got your self a deal scrab... of course and mile
OMG... Kids and husbands... Happy Tuesday, LOL!
I make my cocoa with coffee everymorning with all milk... like my grandpa used to do with his coffee but he used no sugar
I think no sugar going to have to ask my mother
This morning the crisis is the Field Hockey clinic paperwork.... what will tomorrow bring?
i would love a day withour crisis..
I always put a spoonful of sugar substitute + chocolate soy milk in my coffee--my cafe mocha
Do you have adolescents, Mom? Their life = series of crises + emotional drama
Really. Too funny. Like it is the end of the world... I will just call today and obtain another form. End of crisis, LOL.
I love chocolate soy milk Scrabbs
Yes Scrabbs... two of them... one is actually 13, the other is actually 48, but maybe 15 emotionally... LOL.
sounds wonderful scrab... some for me please :D
I think I will get that chocolate silk and heat that up with my hazelnut coffee
yum
*goes into a trance just thinking about it*
Two months ago I obtained this paperwork, clinic is at the end of January, gave husband paperwork, reminded him 2 weeks ago to write check and send paperwork to register her for the field hockey clinic... turns out he can't find it... so, instead of telling me then... his failure to plan becomes my emergency and my kid is freaking out... like I said, easily fixable, but we have to get all excited about it this morning.... ugh!
So, mom2, you are the voice of reason, the calm in the storm! Mothers/wives to the rescue!
And my mother is coming for a 3 day visit today... which is actually a good thing in many ways. She and I commiserate.
Yes, Scrabbs. I tell them that there are websites, telephones, email, etc. here in the 21st century... it's not like I live on the prairie and have to get to Mankato by train to register Mary for Blind School, LOL!
hey scrabs, half of mittleshmertz in the grid
I have that Esprit!
OK, I am a moron. I forgot how to add songs to my iPod. I imported new CDs to my iTunes library, now how do I get them on my iPod? I haven't done this in months!
sorry :-( ;-p
Actually it has served me rather well over the years. I don't really get the pain associated with it that many women experience.
Hahah, Mom2! Teach them to be respectful, responsible, resilient, resourceful, realistic.....words in my future parenting book
Hi Jean---TY for reminding me about the days of Mittleschmerz
I luv that word
how long to get to work yesterday scrabs?
You have to hook up your iPod, then click on the icon for YOUR iPod, open up Library, then just drag what you want over to YOUR iPod icon.
scrab dear you are NOT a moron
India is such a poor country and does not have good refrigeration for the poor and they used the hot spices to mask the flavor of the meat that was spoiled.
45 minutes--not snowing and roads were in decent shape--I even saw pavement a few times.
Scrabbs... when you write your book you may contact me for some salient quotes, LOL! The 5 R's of Parenting...
Good to know dalmation... now I will know what not to eat in India, LOL.
you saw pavement??? IT'S A MIRACLE!!!
our pavement is long buried;(
Mom2, I do not see an icon for my iPod....grrrr
hi dalmatian--makes sense
The adolescent years present a challenge on all of those fronts, don't they, Scrabbs??? But I would toss out the first 4 for a little of the last... LOL!
we have what is known as a hardpack
It should be over to the left under Devices (I think???) ... there should be a little arrow in a circle next to it.
i-pods and other devices often show up as an external hard drive under start/computer
i do see pavement but it is because of the salt they put on the roads... if it weren't for the plows and the salt Québec would shut down and/or there would be one accident right after the other
"Library" is up above it at the very top of the left hand side, your iPod should be underneath it in what almost looks like a new heading.
Crossy... she is in iTunes.
You are in iTunes, correct, Scrabbs?
I am trying to sync them now
crossy stands back...
however Québeckers know how to drive in the snow and they don,t even have chains or studded tires
I think something is happening now
chains and studs are illegal in ontarion
Oh, I never do that... I just add manually... but that is because we have 4 iPods on our computer and I don't want my kids music... since you probably only have one you can probably do it that way.
If your iPod is plugged in and recognized then the syncing should work.
how about if it is a car from the US?
same rules apply
they can't very well change their studded tires
I imported 8 new CDs--I used my $100 gift card on CDs instead of books
Good for you.... get what you want Scrabbs.
I am so far behind on my reading that it makes no sense to buy more books.
I just got a new iPod for Christmas... Love it... has a radio and everything... I am giving my old one to my father, so I just did all the adding to it, which is how I remembered what to do, LOL.
Miss Bea Bunny just came tearing in here and hopped in her litter box--such a smart rabbit!
OMG... I have a pile of books beside the bed. Really, just have no time
I am reading the new John Irving, which I am liking... it is just that I read a few pages and fall asleep.
And I want to learn Italian and do Bible study and exercise and Babble and ...... I need more time!
Wouldn't it be great if you could attach headphones with language tapes and learn while you slept???
The exercising might be problematic in this fashion, LOL.
I am a visual learner--listening doesn't work for my brain. I wish that would work for me
Good Morning, fellow Babbleonians. Let's start this morning with a cheer. Give me an I! (please)
which "I" would that be, Gramma?
I never subscribed to that babies listening to Mozart thing in utero... but I know that some people say it works.
Any ole I would do, since I don't have one.
I am a combination of visual and auditory and for some things I need to engage the tactile as well.
Hi Gramma
Actually I do have American I***
The new season of American "****" starts next week.
Hi Scrabbler.
Well mom, great minds......
Good Morning everyone. Another frigid day in paradise
Movies that have low budgets and limited releases are known as in**** (in6/21) and its singular.
bichon, I love that little face.
That's all I have up my sleeve in the "I" department Gramma..
she's a cutie gramma
mom, I'll have to think about that 1. It's not jumping out at me ty
scrabbler... why is it that I can't stand salt in my oatmeal but I use a ton of salt on my other food. Probably the mix with salt and sweet? ... there is a hot cocoa organic mix I have been trying and was veyr surprise they have salt in their mix. BLECH.. cant wait until they get my cocoa back in the store.
in + *** (what you do when you cease breathing).
mom, would that be short fro independent?

It's get to about 30 today with some sun, but it's been cold forever
I think it is about 16 degrees F here in NJ...
Only about an hour from CT...
It's not Mister
NJ is a lot more than 1 hour from me. I live in central CT
21F here
It's not Kenny

I was just saying that the temp is probably comparable...
It's now 21 here too now
give or take a few degrees.
oh DUH
I think I saw that tomorrow will be AT LEAST 32... get out your bikinis!
I can't remember when it's been above freezing. But, Friday, we're going to CA [Bay Area] to visit the kids. Really hot there -- the 60's
well I see them but they are not coming together
bichon, lucky you, I love SF
oodle, what does oh Duh mean in real life? I'm still struggling with the spice.
I've never had a bad time visiting the Bay Area, especially since I get to see the two little chickadees
gotta run... laundry, dishes, etc... bbl.

I wasn't putting in a vowel
****er and roy rogers + ch*** powder

Hi Mich...change last consonant
Morning Babble folk
hi hego
I'm cold!
Morning, hego!
thanks Annie
*sends over some nice hot cocoa for hego*
Hi Mich, long time no see.
ty Oodles
:D
He Hego, why so cold? They keep promising us cold days but so far it's been nice.
i think hyde should be a word
East coast of US very cold Mich.
We can put it together with eeny & eenie and take a stand.
22F today.
Where are you Hego?
New Jersy, Mich
Shry is a great word in Yiddish. Sometimes Enable likes Yiddish words, today not.
Where, hego North or South? My sister is in Cherry Hill.
same here hego
Mich what does it mean in Yiddish. I've never heard it before.
My daughter lives in Cherry Hill (small world). I live in Central Jersey by the ocean.
It's a shout.
shry means a piercing shout
Wow, Hego. Really small world/
I never heard it either.
New one for me
Go Annie!
Mich, isn't is usually said as "g'shry"?
I think g'shry is the noun but the verb is shry. As in Yiddelach Shry! (Jews Shout)
I can't believe the first word I got. di5. Oy!
Ah, thanks...
hego,,,I know the world ...it was a first one for many of us
Oh That! Di 5, Naughty Naughty Hego. Fits with the news today I think.
I missed that news.
and don't forget to plural it as well. :) A very good morning here from cold Kentucky -- 14 degrees and a little snow.
(Checking that there are no kiddies here) The news that the Johnson Heiress was found dead.
Yow Mom!
(((Mom)))!
I heard that, our news said it was natural causes. Hmmmm.....
dildos
{{Annie}} good morning
YIKES!!!!
you got it Hego!!!
good morning Hego
well done hego lol
Hey Hego, into the PB with a cup of hot cocoa!
LOL
My face is red!!!! Off to the pb I go.
The heat is turned up in the PB for you, hego
Despite the efforts of John Edwards, I see that "Wenglish" still hasn't made it into the dictionaries of the world.
Your yikes was definitely a g'shry, hego
Oh yes, Mich
hego, Not as bad as I once did. When I was very new on Babble there was a cu4/5 and I was so surpised that is was there I typed it into the chat. I was teased all day long.
Morning Seaspray, Ray and Michnick
*puts an armed guard in front of the PB so no one can go in*

wow wtg annie!
Annie you're amazing!
gold
A lot of babblets in this one
congratulations Annie
annie?
bravo Annie
yes, sir oodle
dyne
may I have your brain please
oops sorry!
off to wash the breakfast dishes. Have a good day, everyone. {{Hugs}}
bye mom
bye mom
She may need it Oodle. LOL
bye Enomis, hope the grid goes well for you.
bye bye Boobear
Bye Mom
You dont want my brain...if I put something down I forget where it is...
but she can have mine and plus she will be able to speak french and german
Bye Mom, stay warm
bye Annie, you too.
I would love to speak French
well that's nothing annie I do that anyway
I think it is cold everywhere
it doesn't help to speak other languages. You keep trying to put them in the grid.
I wonder if red is keeping warm down in Florida
it's just that when you put something down be conscious of putting it down
yes, oodle, that would be a good start to remembering instead of doing things with thinking about it.
*without
can't believe there are three 8s...
This happens to all of us Annie.
and the gi 8 is a lulu
a lulu?
like my keys I have got in the habit of putting them in the same place or when I've put them down in another place other than my usual spot I am conscious of putting it down
but annie with my brain it doesn't always work (giggle)
want a clue, Eno, the gi8 is a plural of the gi7--I think it is an Indian mustard.
no it's sesame oil
any clues for the en. I have the language one
Love to cook with sesame oil, but it's expensive
gi7---****er Rogers (Fred's partner) and ch*** con carne, then plural for the 8
ty annie
thanks oodle
phone
I have gi 8 - what are the other 8?
id8
woohooo I only got 188 left to go!!! yahooooooeeeeee
so8
Crazy boy. ;-)
I can't get the gi 8
so 8 is so 7 (infantryman) and sometimes vowel
sesame oil boobear
Boo---****er Rogers and ch*** con carne
got the so ty annie
ty Annie. Had the 7, never considered the 8.
looking for the id
I wouldnt have either but BR gave that clue
Aaahh
id8---British spelling of one who adores someone
just got it ty!
id 4, 7,8 all play off American **** (TV show)
ok, got the 8 s. Now for the other hundred.

Good morning/afternoon all.
not so bad really FM
Afternoon Haz
hi all
lol I would never have got it!!
think my brain is a bit foggy this morning
The grid is okay, a bit twisty in parts.
Hey kje!
hi kj
HAve just had a very late lunch and all I Want to do at the mo is snooze.
a twisty grid for twisty minds?
snooze sounds good... and I just got up!
lol hibernation is a good thing.
that must be it kje that's why I'm struggeling lol
not getting dy6, does anyone have a clue?
Hi kje, and yes Hibernation sounds excellent, I so wish it were a possibility, its being so cold and all.
how cold today red?
currently 35. It really is cold. Killing all the fruit,
dy6 - putting colour into a garment
clue for the lo7/48 please......
lo7/48 - board and lo7 provided in some live-in positions.
cooked sweet & sour pork and also prepped pork with tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs and mushrooms ready for the freezer.
Hi red!!
lo7, a place you might call home
that is no good... our prices will go up
yup, Juice prices will go down, because all the fruit is being sold to juice plants.
but surprised they aren't prepared for 35... not even below freezing so would think they would have field warmers for that
Hi FM and haz and all rumple et al...
TY flosey, got it
its 35 now, but last night it was a freeze, like 28, for over 8 hours.
good, yw rumple
Hello, red.
It's been below 28 here for about a week now red.
1/2 way bbl
Indeed, FM, the problem for us is that the region grows citrus. it's all being ruined. very bad for an already bad economy
what's 28 in 'real' money?
Bye, SeaSpray.
very cold here too red!
Compared to most area we are still warmer!
Anyway enough about the weather I am going to dive in .... so stand back! -2 Katie.
spllosh?
:)
Minus 2 degrees C.
brr haz
clue for the i in the first column i see nothing
gigilo is not in the Dictionary?
Finished, off to take a nap and hibernate. 0 this morning, up to15 now, real heat wave, supposed to get below 0 and more snow, Yuk!
in5 and in6 - island(s) in westerly places?
hang in there rumple.
well done rumple
Well done, rumple.
ty haz thought i had tried that already probably before fingers woke up
cute clue haz
in6/18 - comparatively not outward looking
You're welcome, science. Thanks, kje!
The definition for in6/18 - a formation of older rocks surrounded by layers of younger rocks.
good morning/afternoon :)
hi cyber, how are you?
Good morning, cyber.
good morning nan
fireworks
Congratulations!
yayay flos!
tyty, now must have breakfast and be ready for 9: am appt.
how many more words would the grid have if that middle left I were more accessible? 30? 50?
Gah! Pc fell over (not literally of course) but has taken a while to get back here.
Welcome back, give that computer a good talking to.
at least... could gerund a lot more words with that
I don't know, joshua, but definitely more than what we've got.
I did Haz but had to literally pull the plug which made it very unhappy.
Heyas kids ..
I'm sure! Is all well now?
Hello, torgone.
on older computres there was a reboot button, on this one there isn't, on the laptop god knows!
morning, tor
Hi torg!
aand Hi cnan!
hi bgh
hi mitch
I like the cartoon of a puzzled man sitting in front of a computer screen which says 'Now press any key'. The man is shouting 'Which key is the any key?'
HB K!
ty
LOL Haz
any gn words?
No gn words.
good one, haz
am going to poof for a bit as PC is insisting on doing some updates.
Best not to argue with a PC. It'll sulk.
thanks
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KJE!!! *throwing confetti* *hands champagne cocktail to KJE*
ty judy! will mix some OJ in with the champagne to remain respectable so early in the morning ; )
Oh, a birthday? Happy birthday, kje!
come on up KJE and I'll take you to dinner
would love to, but I must work
ty haz
a very hbd to you kje
bring your parka -- it's freezing up here
happy birthday kje
thanks all... it is good so far... slept in for a bit and won't go to work until noon
down to 45, may have to list soon
i am rusty after a week or so off the grid
70 to go here and thinking of listing -- well done kje
hi josh
61 here. thinking of napping.
hi nan - 48 here and slowing
half way -- list time for me
still feeling a bit upset that gigilo is not a word, I guess I am spelling it wrong?
41, one more and I list
Do you mean gigolo?
let me check my CV and i'll get back to you, red
that must be it, Haz. I admit not having much occasion to write that word out.
lol haz
Well, you can forgive enable this time.
you need a spicier life red?
very funny Joshua.
I'm good kje, thanks!
i do keep trying igloo though to no avail.
didgeridoo for me
ok, 37 and off I go to the list... I don't have all day!
i keep looking at gigilo- but thats my spelling I knew it was wrong but I like the idea!!!
GO KJE GO!
Hello, Deeha.
that gi 7-8 combo has me stumped -- any clues?
Hi Haz any warmer??!
sounds like if our dear friend jillibus had too much alcohol
gi7/44 - begin with four letters of Fred Astaire's spicy partner, end with last letters of a spice that sounds cold but is hot.
spice gi**er + j**l*bus
Deeha, no thaw at all, and more snow last night.
and more promised it seems. Roll on Spring
sounds more like what santa's bells are
ty all - great clues
It seems a long way off. I've forgotten what soil and grass look like.
i drove through horrible snow and wind coming from nova scotia to toronto
Have to say however Haz - we complain - imagine if we had Canada's weather!!
I know. We shouldn't grumble. But it's annoying!
isnt eenie a word? as in eenie meenie...
Not according to enable.
had a thought today - dont often get them!! - if you rejoice-can you joice??
i have an annoyance about the word redundant - if something is redundant, does that mean it redunds? and if it redunds, what did it do when it dunded for the first time
hy5?
looks a lot like a prefix, but with a different last vowel, kje
That reminds me of a lovely story about the Irish labourer. He was asked if he knew the difference between a joist and a girder 'That's easy, he says. Joyce wrote Ulysses and Goethe wrote Faust.'
hi everyone
hy5 - first part of fire hy***nt
I don't know any words beginning with ih
ih plus male sheep, cybernan.
ty - twusty
twisty
ty -- that's english?!
ih - ih + male sheep
That's you in the PB, cybernan!
ok I am back
Had a good giggle over both those answers
never thought i'd see we6/39 in a grid
hy 5 - the many headed hy from jason and the argonauts
10
does we6/39 mean the whole word has 6 letters in it, including we, and is worth 39 points?
lol - hope there's some hot chocolate being served this am
yes van - and welcome to babble
Hi all--popping in for ten minutes between calls. My kingdom for the last di 4/5!
fireworks
hello, and thanks
You've got it, Van. Points in a four letter word are as they stand, in a five letter they are doubled, six tripled and so on.
it's what crazy women throw at men during arguments, jayk
yayay josh!!!
oops - i mean d + anagram of black gold
oh I see
di4/5 - d plus an anagram of a greasy substance.
And with a name like VanTheMan, you're possiblly a Van Morrison fan?
Lord I could have sworn I tried that! thanks!
yes that's right Haz
gm
LOL just found that we6 - too funny
gm ru
Nice to have you join babble chat, have you been lurking all this time?
Good morning, ruru.
no I haven't played in years
no.. just woke up
Well, enjoy the game, Van, some people find it addictive but they're the ones with no willpower.
wrong conversation - keep up ru
Hiyas, Kids!
(sorry)
Jayk, did you get fireworks yesterday? I had to leave to attend to food and missed your moment of glory.
Hello, Judi!
true, van... for instance, you would NEVER find haz here everyday... she has a will of iron
first we plas
please
(giggles)
Oh Haz, it was SO glorious!!! SOrry you missed it!
phantom
Absolutely! Kje knows me so well. I have a mild attachment to this game, but not so much as you'd notice.
haha
ell, thanks and have fun
Well done for yesterday, Jayk!
still waiting for inspiration about that we 6 you are all giggling about!!
well*
i might even manage this one too! Maybe
When the grid starts you out with a blue word, where can things go?
deeha - think jr high prank with undies
Just remember to use any and all resources, Jayk and suspend disbelief over some of the words.
The only way is up, Kaplan.
my belief is SO suspended already!
uno
last so 6, please?
Keep it suspended.
oh wait for met kje.. i have 70 left

well, I think they have the name of the West Indian but I am often wrong.
Oooooh, news says 5 new planets spotted. This should be interesting...maybe my new hoe is out there. the one where I fit in!
You're right. It was a Columbus thing I think.
You meant home, right?
Oh my yes, Home. Not hoe.
want to check out Oprah, bbs
;-)
where is dc?? i want to know if he has the nine letter word off "white" in the other puzzle
have not seen him today hursh.
he gave me the link to this puzzle and it was so fun at first and now it is ruining my life! :P
Oh no Hursh!
Don't tell me about it, pls.
i shan't. if only i had known... sigh
Babble is enough for me.
today I have 51 leftand really want to list.
ty Hurshy
Have to start cooking. bbl
hi Hursh - fun isn't it - well kinda - there is a food one too! - just swap last 4 characters to food in the address line
later, Hego
hego - love the icon
it's how I feel right now Bo. And Poof
lynxxx... do YOU have the nine letter word that comes off white???
hego is cold.
let me check
No- still got 6 words missing and that is one of them. Do you have all the other colors/sections open by now?
yes - but you do realize that when you get some then more appear to find
so you may have more than 6 missing... pretty sure that 9 is going to lead to more
Yeah, realise that. I meant the sections that have black, green, red as the centre
yes. and i have them mostly filled up, not too much expansion left except that upper left part of white.
have you got a five letter word off of "toy"?
Wow - have you done anything else in the last 24 hours, lol
nope
sadly, no. other than some sleep. that is why it is ruining my life.
do you have the third one down on the border between white and black?
fireborgs! whew!
nope!
Hooray for Dawg!
ty, lynxxx. not bad for 4 hours sleep! i hear my chair calling for a nap. bbl this evening to chat.
a coffee, a nap, what could be better
congrats LBD! I am jealous.

Congrats FM! sounds like you had better start the WordLink game
where are you FM. I'm in Lancashire and woke up to over 6 inches and it then snowed all day
thank lynxxx, whats the wordlink game?
FM, eventually winter will end and we will all complain about the heat.
completely snowed in here
West Sussex Crissie, had heavy frost but nothing else until an hour ago.
No snow. but we are not warm.
True red :)
Besides very addictive, you have to find an associated word..........http://funny-farm.appspo t.com/game/linx
i have just ONE word left in the red quadrant.
beware, fm, it may ruin your life
will have a look in a bit lynxx thanks.
with minus temperatures this snow is going nowhere anytime soon
thanx lynxxx...fireworks here.....goodnight all!
lynxxx you wouldn't happen to have a four letter word off red on the far left and down a little?
Am prepared to be snowed in - kitchen is stocked and all is well.
congratulation Flask
sorry Hursh - that whole corner is blank
good afternoon babblers
can clue if wanted.
Hi python
ty FM but I still have 47 to go. may not finish today
hi FM
Good luck Chrissie, will keep fingers crossed.
what are the stats for the 8 letter words?
and will go and put the kettle on so will be back in a mo.
I have an id8/45 and gi8/60, need one more
gi8/60, id8/45 & so8/55 is add the sometimes vowel to the armed forces person
ty Mary, looking
ty Mary
yw the gi7/44 is the liquor + same 1st letter + the flower easter l** & plural
Plural for the 8 I meant, weird word
hello, not liking the w words. help pls with both we6/33
the id7/32 is someone who adores but with the snake letter. And he who does the adoring for the 8
both we6/33 words are past tense
Am I helping? Sure hope so.
ty Mary
duh, thanks Mary
you're all welcome. Bye from me

the id8 is the person who worships the id4.5
ooohhhhhhhhhh, i was forgetting the s!
gi8 2 spices - Gi**er Rogers, and Ch*** peppers
of course that is gi7, 8 is plural
ty, got them
Back again - couldn't help but stand outside and watch the snow falling -was memerised.
how are your birds coping?
Having lived in an apartment for 13 years it is so intereting to be able to have a front door and a garden.
well they are well fed and costing me a fotune lynxx but am loving their presence in the garden. The houses on either side of me are also avid birdiesso they won't starve (I hope)
what kind of birds?
Have found out that the blackbirds love to peck on pears
RED IS DONE!!!!
I only have a small garden at the back, lots of gree, no grass...but love watching the birds come and bath and eat the bits and pieces I put out. The babies are a hoot!
Robins, blackbirds, sparrows, ring doves, thrush and mistle thrush.
Yay Hursh!!!
Hi All. Back for a while.
hi Hego
Hi hego.
It's buckle down time.
i have had my feeders crowded with birds until this week and i think i now know why. when i came home this afternoon there were 2 big hawks drifting over the houses 2 streets over.
hi hego
oh how special pythonx - maybe not for the birds though
Don't have big brids here nor squirrels so it is very interesting to see the wild life that does exisist - v different from where I used to live.
yes, i'm sure they were looking for lunch
i've recently found how to foil the squirrels, i covered the feeder pole with vaseline
they won't climb it, but still come and clean up the ground
lol good move python!
must tell my Mom about that as she is plagued with squirrels.
i like the squirrels but they make pests of themselves, they empty the feeder in an hour
exactly - they are driving her crazy!
Hello. and FM I can guess how you feel. I lived in a shabby apartment (this was my place) http://tinyurl.com/yahvo6y ) It is such freedom to have a house
hi all... i have a feeder that is calibrated to shut down when anything as heavy as a squirrel perces on it. pretty good at keeping them away
herin!!! Happy New Year!
and Hi Dorens!!!
hi Infernal & Dorens
dorens, that is what i plan to buy the next time i got feeder shopping when my current one needs replacing
squirrels have been known to do seroius damage to homes, as well as being pests - they gnaw on wood and vinyl substrates
i had friends who had squirrels get into their attic and make a huge mess
Mom had sqirrels in the attic
and they're not easy to get rid of once they decide they belong in your attic
did she have bats in the belfry, too?
Figuratively or literally?
It's weird how words in other languages pop up when it's convenient to the grid.
I can feel a joke coming on - something along the line of Mom still has bats in the befry
LOL
ROFL python
...wondering if the squirrels are as bad as our possums
Hi torg :)
Hello back. FM i have a chair on my porch now so I can sit and read. My b.f thought it was tacky then he sat in the chair
Lynxx I think so. I had a pair fighting out the front at 2am today. Bleeding loud things
oh that sounds good herin - can't wait to put a table anc chairs in the garden and just sit.
possums are bigger, and uglier!
have a friend who had to replace window frames because of squirrels
I think our possums are diff to your pussums (opossums?), ours are very cute
ours look like huge rats
It was found on the roadside during hard rubbish. It is solid steel frame and hard plastic slats. Damn comfy. Squirrels freak me out. FM is that the cute good squirrels or the feral foreign varitey?
umm it's the grey squirrell, don't get the red ones round here any more apart from in Scotland and the Isle of Wight I think.
I did read that the grey squirrel are a pest and best eaten
lol
back in a mo as i must go see how much more snow has fallen - I feel like a little kid and want to see the snowflakes!
my FIL hunts and eats squirrels, yech!
O and having a chair on the porch means I can sit and have the kitty on the harness
FM go make a snow angel
Python why would someone eat squirrel?
he eats lots of things I can't explain
Fair enough. Why let things go to waste
snapping turtles, sparrows, snake
Snake I can understand but the rest yech
some older folks really like the odd meats, my Hubby used to cook weird stuff for the family reunions, and the old babes would flock around it. Squirrel, rabbit, deer, turtle - they couldn't wait to see what he'd bring the next year. (I don't eat any of those!) :P
deer would be the only thing i'd eat
Rabbit and Deer and very yum.
my FIL just does it for the weirdness factor i think
*confused mama look* why is Dorens here in the daytime? hello all!
Hello Stid
probably goes back to Depression times or just plain living off the land - a strong instinct
1 left!
These were 80 to 90 year old aunts, backhill types.
My friend does a fair bit of ferreting to get rabits.
(politely avoiding the term "hillbilly", lol!)
i had rabbit once and didn't like it
lol, rbud
Rbud go right ahead.
taking a few minutes to check in... just got the syllabus for the new quarter and it looks like it's going to be a DOOZY.
Rabbit is tasty. Cooked properly.
Opps Sorry Scrabbler
What books Stid?
LOTS of books, about 30 academic papers, too.
I saw the book list for high school students here and I was disgusted that the books were at least 2 years behind when I was at school
Pls Gang I need a clur for the last in6,i8
I can't name them all, most of them are academic texts on teaching.

I am not doing well with this weather I admit.
sounds perfect!
well you wouldn't like it here much either right now as it is snowing like there is no tomorrow!
Ata: http://tinyurl.com/yckbb6t this is a list of Oprah says awesome shoes (if that makes sense) but be warned apparently spring fashion is here
Nope FM, I would not. snow is pretty but I do not like it cold.
wow fm its really been snowing all day!
oooo nice
we're due for more snow late tomorrow or early Thurs, I think, that'll be rough on top of the frozen solid mess we already have.
gonna wish you all a goo night and go and watch the snowflakes *grin*
enjoy, FM, good nite! :)
Nighty night rbud and all.
have fun with the snow!!
And on that note Ata being on my holidays I decided to watch Oprah yesterday and wash shown how nice a wide belt looks with tops that would otherwise make you look like you are wearing a moomoo. I bought a wide belt as I wanted something nice with the top mum bought me and within 10 min someone complimented the belt
great!
Hi everyone!

Hi bojazz!
Hi Brookie
Hi herin, how are you?

Have 70 words but still one BT - any help with the 4th column i ?
I promise you it would be a very welcome gift.
rbud its an ih5.
Don't have any "i"s from that column, sorry

Hey red (and all) how is the temperature today?
I am finding my internet to be questionable
I'm not wild about this grid today (59 to go)
Nasty little grid - anyone need clues?
hi everybody! this is a terrible puzzle!

I am good. Confused apparently. :) How are you? warming up any?
very cold here. Brought all the plants in..
you are in fla right red?
heard that is was going to get down to 20 tonight in fla
yup, we are having a freeze, bad for citrus
currently 20 degrees here. Gearing up for snow on Thursday.
but you are in north florida right?
central, it will probably get to about 25 or so tonight. bad for the fruit, just inconvienient for me, but the homeless people are not prepared for this here.
in and alternate spelling of a fibber
ahhh Joanne thanks!
thanks Joanne
yvw
ok 116 and has to shower darn!!
wow only 16 left....
licketys did help after all...
hagn all and congrats!! i know but up at 4am
hurry back Joanne
wow, Red .. only 59 left here
ok hubby showering first i will try to finish this
omg I hope they have some place warm to go
Oh Joanne, I do that schedule on work days very unpleasant.
that must mean freezing in ft lauderdale eh?
very
OMG!!! 13 DEGREES THERE!!!
probably, I am not really sure where Ft Lauderdale is i comparison...
its really very cold for us floridians
that is unreal
hello everybody
yes red it is very cold
no crap... I when I was there I thought 40 was freezing... uh
Hello Jacq
hi jacq...
hi jac
40 is freezing to us. you should see what people are wearing...
hi jac
zoe , you there too?
heya red, mom and oodle
i had a ball last night and tonight with that game
yep freezing my bum off
but i managed to complete it (smug)
sorry
*cries for zoe and red* *sniff* *sniff*
i have 17 left but I have to go eat dinner then DH wants laptop
ok kap bon ap
bye for now Kaplan, enjoy your dinner
Well, it wil go away eventually. the vacationers must be miserable, and they showed this one persons beach wedding...terrible!
byee kap
awwww
but I don,t think january is a good month to do that ... if they looked at the history of florida's weather january is the coldest
2 weeks no less
COngrats Jac on completion.
I would agree Oodle. But you know, love....
well I hope it warms up quickly for you too
ty, sorry was in grid
i hope it warms up soon too
yes, and everyone else too, It's very very cold all over, really!
braemar, about 60 miles from here had -17C, which is about 1.5 F
very cold all over
there is a news story here about the lighthouse keeper at cape wrath, his wife went to inverness before xmas for a turkey and she still hasn't gotten home because of the amount of snow
I really hope people are going with blankets for those who are homeless at least
Woweee Jacq. how sad!
omg
you would think given the valuable job they do they would fly her home so the poor man can eat fresh food
ok going to see if some news is still on
bbiab
yes, or have delivered a turkey to her directly in this weather...
we have had more snow than was forecasr and cape wrath is far north west wild country
Is it pretty at all Jac. We have a romantic view of snow. I however, do not miss driving about in it.
it is beautiful to look at when it's all white and covered in kids footprints but after a couple of days you get tired of it, and here the roads haven't been cleared and they are like glass
i'll post some pics tomorrow on my profile let you see it
nice, I think looking is better than being in it.
i love being in it making snowmen etc but we donlt usually get it this early or for this length of time and they are saying snow the rest of the week
don't like it all, except to look at out the window - my daily trudge to the birdfeeders is plenty for me.
I love snow, only at CHristmas, after that it can go.
I end up shovelling far too often to suit me. Hubs can't manage it, and our son's far too busy with teenage drama to do it for us. Then I get to shovel at work, too.
rbud that really stinks, you guys should move to Florida.
lived there for a couple of years once, I missed having soil to plant things in, lol!
I have soil....
hi all
sand, sand... We were in Daytona Beach
Hi jmc! How are you?
and now, Rbud, I will escort you and myselfintot he Penalty Box...
hi, jmc!
oopsie! but I have a degree in so4 science and conservation! :)
can't bring myself to call it dirt, lol!
cold
it's alright, I have ice cream...
yay, ice cream!
*shivers and is a little blue*
it is. jmc, indeed.
28 here
4 and they are allkilling me.
28 degrees
87 left
wow, just checked, 27 degrees here, might be the warmest it's been in days. looking at 18/12, 16/2, and 8/-4 deg for the next 3 days - brrrr!!!
that is why i would never live in chicago which i really love
my two outdoor cats have quickly changed to indoor cats. They sit by the heating stove all day and night.
well, its 40 here, but its dropped about 6 degrees in one hour which is bizarre and doesnt bode well...
my cat went out twice today for the first time in a couple of weeks
*lights a fire in red's grill*
*drags out marshmallows*
now its updated to 38...
anyone able to clue ma6/21, please?
*rummaging around for chocolate and graham crackers*
I can not imagine Chicago in winter, it must be brutal.
bojazz, like a bird, but wrong vowel near end
ma6 = alt spelling of Rat Pack Dean Ma****
a friend was trying to get me to move to chicago and we were out on the street talking
ma6gale
:D
and i looked up at the street sign that said "no parking when snow above 2 feet"
O_O
thx dc!
hi DC. hursh, was looking for you...she is being owned by the game you referred her to!
and I said i could not live anyplace that had signs like that
hi dc
around cleveland, no street parking allowed oct-may in most places ouside center city
It's that "lake effect" they alwas talk about
ma6 is also Doc MA/6 boots
hello bo, jmc, red, rbud, et al
i made progress on that game too but not as fast as some -- nrkii finished
*always
hi kirk
i've unlocked the metapuzzle on the color one, but have not solved it yet
hi, kirk
hiya, seain!
When I livedin New Hampshire, for that summer I was bemused by the little things sticking up from the firehydrants so they can find them in the snow.
oh, good clue, kirk!
yey DC is as far north as I can live!
de5/16 please
how do you unlock it?
Ok I must beg, for the very last te 5. I can not find it at all....
sorry red i don't have any te5 words
its now my last one because I finally found my we 6...
too bad i could have clued we6!
rats!
i just want to finish before NCIS.
go read the archive
found it!
whoo hoo red!!
its a t with a female sheep and a consonant.
ty red
yw. any other clues needed. I am terrible about sticking around after I firework..
want to clue the third 8? I have gi and so
oh damn, that's the only 8 I have got
well van I will clue the other two!
there is an Id 8 which is an odd spelling of an extension of the id4 "American Id**
so8=military man like
but gigilo is not the correct spelling I learnt today.
gi8= alcohol+fish breathe though this + vowel
the pl is the 8
oh I'm glad someone else clued, I wasn't sure how to go about it
jmc, did you get the id 8?
no red
you know the show AMerican Id**?
it builds on id 7/32
well sometimes fans of that show Id***** the participants. one of them might even be called Id******
yep i have id4/5
nicely done :)
got it ty good clue
Yaaay!
did you get the two other 8s Van?
didlo
oopsie
no I didn't, I got an so7 military type which I didn't have either, is the so8 related to that?
yes add the high point tile to it
Van add a higher poit tie to the so 7.
oh, the weird gi7 plurals. thank you :)
yep dc pl
oh nice one, thanks
that was def a wierd Gi word. with that I am on to NCIS... Have a good day peoples!
guten Abend, Babblers. Just checking whether my icon is red again
bye red
hasta, red
hi inge3
n'Abend, Inge
your icon is normal
I did some of the 12 Days icons, and could never find my post. When it is red I can see it. My macular degeneration is getting worse
sorry to hear that, Inge, but as JMC said, your icon is your usual
it looks yellow/orange to me but maybe that is red to you
dc. now yours is almost the same.........
would you like me to change it?
i chose a deep orange field of grain, similar in color, as it turns out, to yours
no, dc. The original from Stidmama was more red
In Germany in the 40's we called the orange red shade the Russian red, and the deeper red was the French red
those terms make sense to me, Inge
i did not know that inge
somce we are pm tje subject. at Cjrsot,as to,e tje 95 % Catjp;oc areas had a womean dressed as the Christchild bring prsentens or coal to bad kids. Woman looked more like an angel whthout wings
hello
hi sadie
hi, sadie
too many typing mistakes, I better stop
i wonder where they got the presents in the 40s
I could read it inge
that is very interesting, Inge, and i could decipher it too
Not many presents. Something to read or clothes for a doll
still that must have cost a lot then
when did you come to the U.S. Inge?
I wrote a story for a Childrens Magazine, and got a free subscription for a year
how nice!
I was born in the US, parents visited family in 1938 and stayed. Dad negotiatied with the US embassy in Frankfurt. 65 families were stuck the same way. The State Dept sent a tlegram in April 1950 for us to return as soon as possilbe. When I was an Intern in the Pentagon in 1958 I found out Washington knew smoething was brewing. Was afraid it could be Germany again. Korea started in September.
how interesting!
very interesting, Inge
three more words and i can list
I am keeping you from progressing
no no inge I am still looking in the meantime
not at all, Inge :) the stories are apprecaited
Well, I could clue you
hint for ID8, pls?
id 8: person who admires someone
ah, brit spelling. thank you
based on id 4: Aamerican ****
this was a, for me, rare case of i had the root, but not the longer form(s)

and i started on the original Funny Farm
oh, wait, you're not talking about the grid?
it says "meta unlocked" the whole time for me
LOL Go lynxxx! what Jesus leads to makes me laugh
i don't want to know about any more. please refrain from mentioning if there are more.

what the heck are you talking about that isn't totaly related to be violently ill, hursh???
ooooh - a new puzzle? do tell!

bulk add, van
highlight your word list and press ctrl-c to copy, go to the large box just below lickety's list, press ctrl-v, and then press "bulk add"
van the man, who's autograph is that you have in your icon, please?
repeat as needed
oh man, I just saw that. Wonderful, thanks Pinikula
Trif, it is Jason Mraz

the upside is, babble seems soooo easy now.

not that i'm blaming you, dc. i realize i am responsible for my own poor decision making.
OMG seriously???? I will have to tell my daughter - she was making her "bucket list" yesterday for a school assignment, and "get Jason Mraz's autograph" was on the list, my hand to god!

Nice one, Trif!

hiya oodle, how's thangs?

ummm - was just looking at the funny farm game - is it different from the word link page, or a small part of the whole?
major breakthrough here! i have just decided that since i did one of them, i am suitably proud of myself and do not need to finish the second one i started. i'm leaving it. hopefully i can return to a healthy life tomorrow.

Hi. Does this get any easier the second time around?
dc, that other game looks pretty fun. Will have to give it a go if I have a minute
excitingly, we're going to make fried pickles his weekend :D the inlaws gave us a deep fryer for xmas
yes, they're both fun, but can be horrible time sinks
fried pickles?
oooh, dc, I gave myself one of those when our new target opened, and we have been having a BALL with it. DO NOT hesitate to deep fry a twinkie. Heaven!
yep. cornmeal breaded pickles, deep fried
Heyas kids ..

oh, my....well done, van...
oy vey...must be getting tired!
well done, and sweet dreams, van
van, before you go, can I ask how hard it was to get an autograph from Mr. mraz? was he approachable, grumpy, etc.....
i'd be face planted on my keyboard at that hour, Van
I haven't played this in years so that's pretty good for a first re-try
very good!
oh he's really lovely to his fans
quiet so, van!
welcome back, and don't stay away so long! sweet sleeps, Van
excellent! thanks!
firewords :)
whoooooo hoooooo DC!!
wahoo dc!
this grid was a challenge, for sure
I met him a few years ago now when he did a performance and a signing in a Borders book shop. He waited until he had met every sdingle person and was happy to sign things and pose for pictures, even though he was very jetlagged and he had just been dumped by his girlfriend, Tristan Prettyman
thanks, yall. I'm going to off to do other thing, like finish cleaning out my inbox :)
peace and happy babbling, yall! {poof}
nightnight, DC
she probably dumped him because she is emotionally unstable because her parents named her a BOYS NAME -- sorry, one of my biggest pet peeves
but he's much more famous in America so it might he harder to actually meet him, but I'm sure he's be lovely to your daughter and she wouldn't be disappointed
thanks so much, van!
haha I know, it is strange to hear it on a girl
ol6/24 .. fishy?
no problem
