from dan2bit, 5h ago: Melanie labored for about 12 hours today, like a champion. But our daughter needs more dilation, so we have epidural drugs on board, and hope relaxing mama will bring button to us soon soon.
ty dc, please send all best wishes to them
done, flosey :)
my best wishes too, dc :)
done also, jilli :)
*takes epidural drugs in support of melanie*
LOL ruru
oh, i'm being considered for a job. So far, i know the company and that the job is in Bethesda, Maryland, and nothing else.
i'm hoping at NIH, as it's easy to get to.
YEAHHH DC.. way to go
Oh, best wishes to you too, dc!!!
i know they're processing it, but i don't know anything else.
*crosses fingers*
good luck dc
ty. it helps that i'm friends with a SR Partner for the firm. I hope it continues apace, whatever it may be
sending warmest wishes eastward...
Consulting firm, not law firm :)
thanks, yall :)
fireworks, clues in my profile
sounds great, dc!
congrats, grem
you can demean someone.. why can't you demeal someone as well
thanks once again grem
am i the only one that keeps trying calamine
and clematis
and congrats too!
nope not just you dc..
I tried it too dc
How many words today
saw the phant climatic
I just did, dc, lol!
207, gran
Thanks
207, gran
(late as usual)
was a little tough today
lovely picture, jilli
thanks, dc! the cows?
the phants that are killing me are calamity, idiotic, idiocy...
yes, the cows :)
you sure they are laying down jilli and not that it isn't just really tall grass?
i never did get the hang of milking
very funny, ruru
yep, they's alaying - look at the shoulders
it's much easier if the cow is used to it and doesn't try to kick you every time you touch her dc
indeed, ormal. happily, they were used to it
yes and you have to teat her nicely
of course ormal, you did get the ca8 by changing the last vowEl
ruru, they're lying down. Cows don't lay eggs.
LOL
the one I had to milk kept kicking over the bucket! darn beef cows
ruru= breast man...
perhaps?
oh yeah I sure did pav
don't worry about it Ormal... she is probably a happy meal now
ah, my aunt had jerseys - very easy. my great grandparents kept guernseys
perhaps in my pasta sauce I made to6...all day...
nah, she's still on the ranch ruru
I was pretty good at milking on my first try.. it is a weird experience though
my cat would probably do better at milking than I first did, cuz he still nurses (on a teddy bear) at 5 years old!
i should off to bed, as i'm picking someone up in Baltimore at 11, meet-up in Bmore at 13, then birthday party after that, and Sunday to the arboretum at 10
taken before weaned, it sounds ormal
have fun tomorrow dc!
have a great day dc
is the cat from Vermont?
hagd tomorrow DC.. I hope you get that job
no, he's from a friend who adopted a pregnant stray in Texas.
oh...
he's just goofy for no good reason :D
I should head to bed too..thanks a lot gremlin for the list... I will use it tomorrow.
goofy cat?
thanks, yall. Happy Babbling! G'night/day :D {poof}
gn and good luck with the job dc
g'night ru
Night dc and ruru, and yes, thanks gremlin -- missed your finish, sorry.
gn ruru
*le Poof*
60 to go but it's getting hard now
morning all
morning sprite
hey Ormal
hi sprite
nice icon. I had to stop my dogs from eating one of those a few days ago. They are really cute, but move slowly.
:D Ideal dog toys then... glad you could stop it though.
sprite -- flosey picked the groundhog too!
I loved your ocean :)
Me too, it was a young one, obviously unsure what to do when dogs attack. It tried standing still and faked biting.
I saw it! Lovely icon of groundhogs she had. I like yours too... did you see the lying cows are 'explained' in my profile text as well?
Oh gosh, I hadn't scrolled that far -- must enjoy it all now -- brb!
ok, must be off, my kids are calling me down for Mother's Day. One day early because hubby must teach tomorrow.
Wow -- very interesting, sprite!
Bye for now!
take care sprite. your profile is a really cool read today
Ormal, your ison is beautiful!
*icon
sorry, I'm tired!
ty, it's near a place we go camping sometimes in the mountains of northern Georgia.
I love the cows lying down btw. The kids and I always talked about that particular rain indicator. I never thought it would be to have a dry place to lay though. :D
No, but it makes sense!
It does!
Darn, I'm too tired for this -- haven't even got nbt. Still need the J and the lower Y.
Oh, found the lower Y.
I haven't gotten the j yet either.
ja 4/9
ah, monkeyed it! nbt :)
hi diz!
hey jilli!!
well, that took me long enough, even knowing it was ja4/9 didn't help me much.
and it's an acronym, I see >-[
well, I'm heading for bed -- goodnight all.
*poof*
nitey nite Jilli
gn jilli
I've entered Altoid about 5 times now.....I guess not really a word. lol
Oh I tried it, but I guess it's only a brand name.
At least it's not as bad as when I try to enter "Jedi" every time it's on the board.
lol, that's funny. I probably would try to enter it if I saw it.
I'm too tired to do this anymore, letters are blurring. THink I'll leave the last 14 for later, after sleep.
back
imnsho Jedi should be a valid word. just because.
Hello everyone
hi lynxxx
hi lyn
what a lot of vowels - guess this will be hard
how was your day, lyn?
hi guys
hey nikki :)
very easy! how was your week Sprite
hi Niks
oops its not nikki , i accidently opened her page LOL
lol hi sandy then
hi Sandy
ok one again, hi guys
had a lovely week with a friend staying over here. Lazing about, getting better every day!
wb, hi sandy
that is good to hear, Sprite
very good indeed
lyn, who do you support in the AFL
Truthfully, no-one. Husband is for St Kilda. My family was for Richmond but I know 'nothing' about them
Aaah, I am in a footy tipping comp - after 4 years I have won it once(800dollars) and placed the other years , so I am always interested- but I support whoever I tip!
Wow! I am impressed
I am too, Lyn, I never was interested until I got into the comp! LOL I know nothing too
tssk no catmen?
What's catmen Sprite?
either a cross between men and cat... or men who love cats.
manimals :)
no Latoya (Jackson) either
it is not fair, lyn
WOW Sprite, I just read your whole icon blurb - how interesting! In Australia, when you see black cockatoos flying it means rain - This morning a flock of them flew over so we shall see.
thanks :)
as far as halfway all is well, lyn... now for the hard half ;)
I am having a little trouble with the icons, I can't seem to get them off the internet but I am working on it(brain has obviously fallen out)
Just reached halfway myself
I have 31 LOL but have just started
if you google images, sandy, and click until you get the picture only: either copy the link into the 'fetch icon' part of the babble profile or rightclick and save the image on your hard disk, then browse to your saved copy and hit 'upload icon'.
Yay - found my first 'guy' combo
the greasy ones?
I used to do that but this new computer is not so helpful, but I am confident that I will get there
of course you will! Your dogs are sweet.
no, da6 - but TY for that one
and thank you for the other one
they are mother and daughter (Sydney and Jaffa)
very sweet! And fun, I bet. They look kinda naughty.
Hello
They are amazingly well trained and do lots of tricks. Generally good but have their naughty ways - Jaffa is very jealous and bites the cat if it gets too much attention
hi herin
hi Infernal
how are you all?
I am tired today, we had our big bonfire party last nite which was lots of fun and ate lots of seafood and other yummy stuff
hi lady
sounds good
how are you Herin?
grumpy pants at your service
*hugs the lady*
oh I found a Zorro word
why are your pants grumpy?
helpful guys too, lyn
TY
because
you must be studying too hard!
not putting up with sht too much any way I think i may just shhs and go and do this grid
it is a good one, lady, lots of words to have a hissyfit over.
fantastic.
:)
BBL
bfn lyn
seeya soon
you should see some of these houses that are very aweseom
are you watching a television show?
I love Grand Designs - some of those houses are amazing
fireworks
no looking at a very odd website
well done anike
fireflies. Last 4 letter C took ages... will i ever learn to spot that greeting?
Yah SPrite and ANike
can't believe you Sprite - amazing
TY. Congrats Sprite
this was a tough one for me. Lots of unusual words! But fun. Must be off, have fun all and enjoy the grid. Gratz anike.
good morning everyone:)
It did take a bit of thinking Sprite. I had to bob in and out so kept losing train of thought as well.
hi jean
Hi Jean. Does anyone need any clues b4 I go?
I have 65 so I need clues for the other 142
I will struggle on but thanks anyway ani
morning all - clue for the 9 please anike
Not enough time Sandy - family taking me out for dinner tonite.
good morning everybody! yay, a big grid for a change!
hello sandyloo
and anike
hi and nbt
hi joshua
are Lynxx and Herrin still in the game?
al9 - *** Baba + someone who is mad is de******
hi Ruby
the chat is very very slow here today
idem
lovely clue for al9 (and 7!). Thank you
thks anike - got the 7 and forgot to put then ending on
yes , thanks for that I would never have got it
YW
you to love a phone call at the start of a movie so you have no idea what is happening
diot is a local sausage!
Annoying, I agree herin but I always get calls at the end of a show so that I don't know the outcome
is it only me but i am finding this grid particularly dificult this morning
first 25 words were easy, lol!
That shts me too.
just happy to be sitting down. Just spent 2 hours preparing lunch!
ive got 94 but have dried up so i shall go and do some chores and come back laer
hehee. MIL told us that we have to be there at 1ish for lunch tomorrow I told himself have fun with that''
Ruby hugs
It is a little tricky Kaz. I got to 150 ok but then struggled. When it all gets too hard - Gremlin has a list in his profile.
see you later, kazzer
what is for lunch?
thanks anike
lol herin! we have a houseguest but the other lunch-guest couple wound up in hospital, so we have this massive leg of lamb to eat.
don't know don't care not going other more important things to do than listen to how wonderful his sister is
O ruby not good
marinated, boned leg of lamb (halaal) cooked on a spit, flageolets, boiled potatoes, gravy, yoghurt sauce, and a plum tart for desert (made from last year's frozen plums that I carefully crealned and froze) -- no idea if that will work or not
cleaned*** duh
I would come to your house Ruby
I've eliminated the appetizer since it's just the 3 of us
there is certainly enough food herin and you would definitely be welcome! Even for leftovers!
Sounds good ruby
I'm off if I can't be of any help. Time to have a shower and get ready.
and all the prep is done, just have to help husband get lamb on the spit...
any clue for an 8?
8's are ca, la and ta
cheers clue for the 9
thank you, anike, I'll put the monkeys to work
The ca is a bit tricky - fossil plant
Bye for now - happy babbling
got the l's, still working on the others
nice grid, so far
with, of course, all this help from the chog~!!!!
ruby, that sounds great
I have to go feed and rug the horses now bbl
yes, surprisingly easy when I do enough in advance. It's the cleanup that is hard!
I think I'd like to rug (and hug) the horses!
I would also like to curry them, but would have to stand on a ladder as I am short
AL 9 clue please
al + al* baba * not women + cons, then past tense
not as good as original clue, but I hope you get it
cheers
if I doesn't work, I'll try again
and then there is al9 and 8 from the same word
thanks I got it
speaking of being short, did you find mi6/30?
not yet
stumbled across the ca8 - ca*****y Jane, except put a vowel where the y is
ty gortmold and good morning
also an annoying small insect
hey ruby
I don't know if they exist in Australia
ca8s? never heard of them
no no, I was refering back to the mi5 and 6 clues
I could find that ca although anike said it was a fossil -- too hard for me!
couldn't*
also can't type
ahhh, yes, we do have sorghum mi5s. I have a mate who did his phD in developing plants with natural resistance - very smart
good work, that!
i thought so too, ruby, as it was going to really help 3rd world countries grow pest-resistant crops...
the French are so stupid, they won't allow GM seeds but, naturally, killed off everything with their over-use of pesticides!
but he got so jaded with it all and the fact that all this fussy detailed work would end up lost in academia...
that he borrowed my husband's cannon (yes, we own a working cannon) and blew up his thesis papers with it
Ca8 clue as I seemed to have fallen asleep
ca*****y (replace y with e) Jane - the accident-prone cowgirl of some old western movie
ca****** but change the last letter
did they show the series Deadwood in Australia? It's my all-time favorite TV show and they only showed 2 out of 3 seasons in France
Jane was in it
don't think so ruby
Actually Gort Not true
what's not true?
. A popular belief is that she instead acquired it as a result of her warnings to men that to offend her was to "court calamity". She didn't take menfolk crap and to pee her off usually resulted being on the recieving end of a gun
ahh, i sit corrected, i know squat about her, other than her name and just assumed
I could take lessons!!
I tend to take crap until I don't.....
Well actually I take that back that indeed that was another theory but I prefer the idea of her being a hard ass
Deadwood was on cable here. Good series
me too! and on Deadwood, althoughshe loved Wil Bill, she was very much
all 3 seasons, Lynxx??
very butch*
Think so Ruby
She is one of my very fav Wild West Character.
Lynxx have all three seasons here
you are so lucky! My son said that the 3rd season was wonderful, too
is it a western?
the role was played by Robin Weigert {sp?]
yes, but not sanitized and very interesting. I don't normally like westerns
There was meant to be 4 but the cash flow stopped
people wore the same clothes episode in and out and got dirty, torn up, muddy, sick
Down and dirty Western Gort. Not santized at all, you have never heard such language
what's interesting was that there was a Wild Bill Hickok movie starring, I think, Jeff Bridges and the blonde who played opposite Al Pacino in Sea of Love
or seen such graphic scenes of medical and sexual procedures!
Good morning Lynxxx:)
hello Jean
Ellen Barkin! I love Ellen Barkin
can it be worse than what Sean Micallef gets away with on TAYG on Sun nights when he calmly (and hilariously) addresses his tv audience as mo-fos and gets away with it?
hi Jean!
you are kidding. The French idea of funny is to put a hairy guy with a moustache into a dress!
oh yes Gort
lol ruby
although moustaches are inherently funny
so what's the appeal of deadwood?
that's true but that kind of vulgarity is worse, to me, than the stuff on Deadwood or your comedian mo-fo ing the audience! Must go make aparitifs for husband and guest than will be back....
great sotry, interesting characters, beautiful written and acted. Ian Mcshane is the star
aperitifs* my typing is from sh**
story*
lol
i'll keep a blind eye out for it then and turn a deaf ear :)
it looked real
what looked real? the sh**?
no, you'lllove it, once you get past the language and their throwing bodies to the Chinaman's pigs, clthes and all!
clothes*
it sounds awesome ruby, once you've got a chinese oinker, you're onto a winnner :)
and I think there was a lot of truth to the way the old settlements worked - with Chinese and opium dens and prostiutes, confidence men, gambling, etc
so its like a docudrama?
I am so sick of westerns where all the shirts are clean and pressed and the unpaced streets are barely dusty!
no, just a VERY realistic drama
must away for now, hope to bbl, happy babbling everyone:)
unpaved* streets
bye Jean
opps once again distracted. http://www.missilebases.com/ I want
Hi everyone. Just come on. Biggish grid today!
hi Sally. biggish and hardish
ehlloo, I'm back. Made aperitifs for the boys, lamb is on the spit, tart is in the over, potatoes cooking and I can rest for another 1/2 hour!
Oh :-( Immediately see the phantom, calamity. Appropriate, then?
how are you, Sally?
but change the last letter and you'll have the ca8!
I'm fine. just wishing it was a bit warmer outside to make me enthusiastic about gardening.
it is cold here, too, but at least the rain stopped
Oh, so I do! ty ruby
for the like of me, I can't monkey the lonely j!
lfe* life* my hands are so cold, I can barely type!
It's ja 4/9
my monkeys just tried everything without success!!!!
ja + not from but **
aaaah, got it!!!! yay
now I'll use it in a sentence - lol
Well you could, when next at Geneva Airport!
morning all.....is there a list anywhere ?
ruby, I take it your visitor eventually turned up.
there's a list in my profile
I just looked it up, too funny
ty gremlinn
Yes, it was my fault; I misread his e-mail and saw the date of departure as the date of arrival. Mea culpa. He took a bus from Geneva.....
Hello everyone!
hi brookie!
Today's the Babbler's reunion in Baltimore... yeah!
Hi ruby, how are you?
TY Gremlinn - am sure I will need it tomorrow. Goodnight all. Hi/bye Brookie
Oh dear, were you in the dog house ruby?
Hi brookie
Hi and bye, lynxxx! Hi Sally! I hope you are well!
no, nobody got mad; the detente is holding for the moment....
bye gremlin
bye
That's good ruby. Better for everyone's blood pressure :-)
I'm fine brookie, just waiting for summer to start.
Babble is a good refuge from the election fall-out.
you think we'll have summer? it is so cold here!
feels like March, not May
What's the weather been like on your side of the pond?
At least we've had rain, everything is lovely and green.
Feels like late June here, not May.
There's such a cold wind brookie. Makes it not very enticing to be out.
Rain is good.
Wind is bad.
our friend is here from Florida and said it's really hot there after an extremely cold winter
Has he visited you in France before, and does he like it>
Didn't you also have an extremely cold winter where you are? I remember hearing something about that...
yes, he's been here 2 or 3 times before,; he's our old sailing buddy and built my husband's sailboat
Yes, very cold for UK, long periods of snow and ice when we (here in small village) just couldn't get out. Had to rig up night lights under the drinkers for the hens to keep the water from freezing :-)
The global warming has really done a number on our local weather conditions.
it's all topsy-turvy
I had better join them;as it is rude to sit down here talking with my friends and ignoring our guest (ane husband)! see you all later!
87 words so far!
bye for now ruby.
I'll troll the chog later, hoping for clues..... (hugs)
Talk with you later, ruby!
I only 47 so far, but only just started!
only *have*
I have 47 also. The ADD part of me will now check my email and return to Babble later. Have a great day!
it's a bit of a tough grid today
several strange words
But if you have the list, you presumably finished it without one?
I used morewords to get a few
bye brookie
Bye Sally!
(poof)
back for a couple of minutes and, hopefully, a couple of words@!
everything is cooking and I can't bear the conversation!
Why, is it all about boats?
yes, and the stock market and Obama and the sate of the world.... it's unbearable as I've heard it all before. It's like the joke: A couple has been married for 60 years and a reporter in interviewing them, ask, "To what do you attribute the longevity of your marriage". The man say that it's because he makes all the big decisions and his wife, the small ones. "Such as?" I decided whether or not we'll go to war, how we can deal with the energy crisis, what we can do about global warming, and she decides where we'll live, where the kids will go to school, what kind of car we'll drive. etc."
lol ruby!
Sorry, that was too long for the chog
not at all. Glad you are keeping yoiur sense of humour.
it's either that or blow your brains out!
And the sun is shining, even though it's still cold
ruby, in one ear and out of the other,just think soon your son will come and you will enjoy it alot
I hope so, yvo, but he, too, is a pedant just like his father and my current husband!
when the smart guys start expounding, I just disappear!
he and I only have fun (my son, that is) when we are alone together, usually when I go to \Austin and we go out for sushi and to the movies!
seems you just cant win ,keep your sense of humor ,that will keep you afloat till your mini trip
Does he get on with your husband?
yes, and, hopefully, sally and I can squeeze in a visit!!!
yes, even though they sort of talk past each other....
but Burt hates my DIL!
the good news is that, like a marmot, she sleeps most of the time
Hopefully, ruby.
I still don't know if my sister, the drama queen, is coming or if her son is meeting me for lunch....
he doesn't speak to her at all and should be in those "mumblecore" movies
Well, I'll try to fit in with your plans. If it doesn't work out, there will be another time.
yes, there certainly will be, especially when (if) things settle down here with B's health, especially
ruby you live in such beauty,ive been there mostly in Digne,itsjust awesome to get out of bed and enjoy beeing alive make the best and sit outside,and don listen to utter nonsense
you are so right, Yvo! Every day I'm alive in this place feels like a blessing!
ruby, did you look at the link I gave you the other day about public transport in London?
OK, lazy moi, back to the kitchen!
I'm a little bigt afraid of taking the Tube! More later! ((hugs))
take care ruby .whistle while you work .byeeee
brb
Good Morning
Hi Merk!
Do you happen to have a clue for the 9 please?
hi merk - past tense - gave food to
al 9
al 9/66, pt of the al 7/32, to do with food
hi Sally
That's a start ... thanks.
Hi JBV
Got it! Relief ... I always like that out of the way.
I always like to do the corners first - fewer choices of direction there. That gives me four black squares to encourage me!
great idea
does anyone have all the N's - i need one more have all 4s
sorry, jbf, only have two
!jbv, not jbf
ok :) - I usually get confused with our other babbler, jbp - when we're on together, it's funny
I have all the Ns now. There is a plural of the first one.
that was it! thanks, sally!
have to get going soon - Saturday is starting.... weight watchers meeting first (my support group), then my Chinese class, then a pre Mother's Day outing...
Sounds like a busy day. Have a good one.
thanks, Sally - good luck with the grid - i'll try to finish later
Findint it slow today. Still have 68 to find.
hi all
Hi TO
hi sally!

There is one in Gremlinn's profile. Don't think there is a lickety
I found my first 'ic' at the end. I hope there's more. I love those guys.
thank you
I have quite a few Merk.
You can tell it's challenging when there's not much chat, just lurking.
There's a lovely do 5/18 and do 6/33
How do I get to Gremlin's profile if they are offline
Go to the rankins, find the name and click on the profile, holly
And another one ... fun.
just what i was going to ask, Holly. i've been lurking hoping for clues
Thank you!
I haven't found those two yet.
lovely as in they use the ic?
Sorry, no, not using the ic. Just nice words.
Thankyou gremlin.I couldn`t have got to the last word without you.Please could someone clue me for to5,not the amphibian one.

Macadam do you have to5 not yesterday or tomorrow?

I am fond of all phantom idiots.

I'm a phantom idion mi6!

Did you ever ride on the do 6/33 as a child?
even small ones?
hmmm.....
the do6 must be English!!!
Donkeys??
Well if you get the do 5/18, meaning to avoid, just add another letter on.
Must be English- but duchess is du not do.
got it, ty sally
Do you have them in the USA under that name?
but shouldn't that have an apostrophe?
OMG, in the home stretch, only have 97 to go! hahahah fading out
84...
(Sigh)
Hello!
Not in English, that's the name. Can't give the other word that goes with them because too much of a clue.
Guten MOrgen, babblers. Anothr miserable day without lickety list. Does any one have the clues in their profile?\>
clue for the 9 plz
hello inge, this is a nice grid for the first 75 words!
Gremlinn does, Inge. And I have fireworks at last and must get on with my day.

hi, jeanniegee, and everone else.
Is ther ea lickety today?
another phantom: cala**** lotion
Hi, guernseygirl, and everyone else, too! ty!
hi girlie!
hi jeannie
Have just checked news. Still all talking, hee hee.
can anyone tell me what the babble-expert does?
Ruby, change one leter in the phantom you suggested
I have that, kaplan, that's why I starred it!
ruby - change the final consonant in that word
I don't use it gg because I have a Mac but it puts lickety and the grid on one page, and you can enter words into lickety and then transfer them into the grid
OK
hello hootowl
morning (?) peoples
Hi, ruby!
almost 3PM here
no lickety - just gremlinn
9 AM. Time to get dressed.
time for a lie-down
good afternoon ruby :D
and the sun is out although it's still cold
I am not a gremlin...I am a word lover who likes puzzles who happens to be new...
ty, sally. i must get it. i'll never be a babble expert without all the help i can get
hello everyone
snow! go away.... :( hello
Must be off. thanks all for the chat. Any clues still needed?
hah! Yesterday 85, today we still haven't hit 65 at 7:35am
bye sally
jeannie, this is a dangerous game. you can become addicted very quticky
maybe if we all say it at once, it will warm up, phaeton
bye sally - hi new person jeannie
addicts? us?
too late! LOL!
quickly
i hope so...big fat flakes coming down...might accumulate :(
just because I do this game in storms does that make me an addict???
where are you, phaeton?
You should be here in the s. USA...very warm and muggy...and oily, too...
Northeast Michigan
I thought you were kidding phaeton, that's terrible!
jeannie where?
sunshine, rain, snow, hail - whatever the weather i can't resist it.
aaah, lake effect snow!
Mississipi- where Katrina hit
hello again everyone!
I put my tomatoes in too early, but aside from that, it is beautiful here
Katrina, then oil - you have been having a bad time
hi annie
have only put in flowers...they should survive
I'm in Memphis - where we got the refugees :D
oh, yeah...
very cold and wet here, but that's England in May for you
our friend from Florida is visiting; he grows clams in the Gulf
ruby, glad you finally found your friend
keeping his fingers crossed
Oooh ruby, you said a Word!!! Hi all.
it only took two days
I feel very bad for all the fishermen of the Gulf
and it was my fault for mis-reading his schedule
uh oh, is there a place to lie down in the pb?
Not good for them or us! Prices will skyrocket
*opens the futon for ruby*
ty annie
I'm sure there's a nice soft couch in there. With coffee, cookies, anything you want. Here's a bar of choc, too!
are you allowed to bring some chocolate with you when you come out ruby?
Skyrocket? Will there be any fishfood at all?
ty hydra, sounds better than home! and no husbands.....
Sheer bliss then.
I'd be reluctant to eat anything from the Gulf for a long time
hopefully, they can protect the bayous
I've never eaten a cl4/6 except tinned ones in a pasta sauce.
There will be fish just not from gulf.
if they replaced those 20,000 wells with 20,000 windmills, wouldn't things be better? And make the oil companies pay
oh lordy! Much, much better with fresh ones!
what about winkles, hydra?
LOL. Cockles, too! I've eaten them years ago at the seaside.
Windmills...hmmm...I wonder if anyone thought of that before...like the Dutch?
aren't winkles tiny?
I think the taste isn't so different, you just need more of them
Wish my wrinkles were!
my wrinkles just inked at your winkles!
winked, that is* duh
all i know about winkles is you eat them with a pin
ha ha!
mide
There are a lot of them in the Rockies but they have to be local I think. Most people object to them taking apart a mountain to put them up. Coast should be easier
put a vowel in front of that, Ouw
Or a balsa wood prong thingy. Like eating snails.
that's small
or bigorneaux [sp??]
ty annie
What are those, ruby?
phone
Just looked them up. French sea snails.
I almost understand that...
some kind of a land snail - tasty, but a little bit disgusting after a while....
I thought they were from the land, fat lot I know, just eat anything that holds still long enough
dam he moved the dictionary!
brb
Ooh! Just found a ta8,45 much to my surprise. And ruby, I was going by the photo on Google which showed a Frenchman standing by the sea with his hands full of them.
I once tried making snails from scratch -- big mistake! You have to purge them for a couple of days and they kept getting loose. I didn't eat snails for several years after
Maybe the pic was misleading and his snail farm was on the coast.
no no, I'm sure you're right, I just never asked
Halfway through. Off to do some work now. Byeeeeee *poof*
see you all later *poof* too
my mother used to make them, but being a lousy cook, they were always rubber! Used to just sop up sauce with Italian bread
hahah, hoot!
my dict is too old for new foods
clue please co 6 24 thanx
morning...is there a list?
don't have it sorry
gremlinn has one in his profile
thanks
Guess I'll keep searching. I'm not sure what I am not seeing. It's probably right in front of my face.
ok - I just put it in my profile. Easier to find me
hello...testing....
test what?
co6/24 = fish + 3 vowels
thanks Ouw
goodo - had to figure out which way to go! ty
hi all
hello boo
quiet group today
hello, called away by the doorbell, so had some lunch and back again now. can't work out the co6/24
GG - i JUST started - have exactly 5 words... can't help
co4/6 + author **n Fleming
but will look with you
oh yes, i've got it now, i was going in the wrong direction. thanks for responding kje
co6-----fish---Queen Victoria had a long r**gn---and a vowel
hello!
hi, une
Hi Une, How's things in Nashville?
hey, Annie -- cold front came thru last nite -- sunny and 50s -- gorgeous!
hey, GG :-)
neighbors having garage sale next door with really good stuff -- am NOT buying . . . don't need more stuff, don't need more stuff, don't need more stuff
nice une... comfy here currently
well, except for the durn fleas
knock on wood -- no fleas here yet . . .
hang tough une! look the other way!
fleas, kje?
:-D
yes, have seen fleas again... my upstairs "roommate" brings them in... he must go if I can figure out how to catch him
good morning all
can i ask what species your 'roommate' is?
Hi Une - finally got to 60 here. Now no excuse not to get rest of bushes cut and out!
rodent... racoon
morning, mr bob
hello mr bob
animal control should come get him kje
hey, mr bob
morning, hoot :-)
i would guess that racoons aren't welcome as house guests
I tried tolive peacably with him, but he insists in inviting friends and having wild parties... so he must go
LOL
tend to be clumsey and messy...like some relatives
what sort of music does he play
that's why a friend of mine stopped using her cat door -- raccoon guests in the night! LOL
some kind of chirping thing... I think it is the racoon versian of gregorian chants
lol
booorrrring
I have learned from him though... who knew that racoons chirp? this is not an animal noise they taught us in kindergarten
I believe that means it's female. Males are nasty
Hiya babblers!
they are all nasty... their cuteness hides a mean streak
maybe it's got lots of babies up there.
hi, beach
and they walk likel elephants... galump, galump, galump
no, they really do making a chirping noise... the adults... you can play recordings on the web, and that is what they sound like
what do they eat?
everything
so their only redeeming feature is that they're pretty
i have insane friends who feed their neighborhood raccoons dry dog food . . . and the raccoons wash it like all their food . . . jeez
and there are a lot of them in the woods behind the house... heard them going at each other one night several weeks ago, and looked out into the bacyyard, and there were 4-5 in the trees chasing each other... and doing other things
where is there a list
hahahah une... cute
gremlinn, boo
GG - I do not find them so pretty anymore... like a guy you think is cute until you getto know him, they have ruined our relationship
what a great description of the way you feel about them, kje
i've got it
got what?
what have you got?
I've got the list
LOL - OK
There is an interesting philosophy out there concerning Man vs. Nature. Nature, to man is nice as long as it does not intrude on Man's territory. Many people like wolf howling, 'cause it's cool, but as soon as wolves enter man's territory and start maiming and killing, they suddenly become the enemy. Remember, they were here first.
good for you Hootowl
me too, hoot! :-)
godthaab, that's what I keep telling people about the coyotes in Nashville
god - whatev
seemed easier than trying to find someone on the ranking list...
if there's no longer a natural habitat . . .
that's right, of course, godthaab, but it's easy to forget when things like fleas, rats and racoons impinge on us
must run -- BBL *poof*
you have coyotes? Or are you talking about the politicians? We've got those.
bye Une
Realy doesn't make any diff. Coons are opportunistic. If it's easier to steal dogfood why hunt?
garbage pails, gardens, bird feeders...
well, they are smart enough to know that my attic is warmer than the creek behind the house... they just see this as the warmest den they were lucky to find.... but the fact is that they carry diseases, as do their fleas, so they will have to build their own house
no argument - animal control
hahaha - just tried demale... bobbit style... doesn't work
think Dr De****o
the j is elding me - any clue?
ja---** and fro
have that one hoot... got that one fast, it is my field ; )
eluding
ok
ty annie!
youre welcome, kje...love your adventure with the neighbors upstairs
how are you annie? anything fun in NYC this weekend?
there is always something going on in NY but in my life it is quiet...going up to CT tomorrow to spend Mother's Day with Liz (daughter) and family.
aaawww, nice! training it?
training it???
Oh no, driving
driving or taking the train?
No, I am driving...got your query as I was typing my question. silly me.
no prob, not exactly proper english
but it was fun english
LOL
I just noticed....no RE to torture me
ok, I must be off... I need food, then must get over to the hospital to see my mom. She went to the OR yesterday, so she gets to spend mother's day in a hospital bed
but there is de-, annie... there is always a torturer ; )
bye - poof
Oh kje, sorry to hear that...what happened?
ok - 40 left and time to hit the stores. bbl and don't forget I've got a list in my profile. Have fun
do we know what happened to Lickety??
OR: does anyone know what's the matter with Lickety?
g'morning. I am taking that six minute silence as a "no" to Erda's question
good morning all -- just diving in :)
hi nan
(big grin) Yes, Dorens, so do I...
i fell asleep last night without finishing... stopped to do something else and forgot all about it.. so much easier with his list
Hi Erda and Nan
ok boobear. i'll say hi to you anyway
aide
oops soory
Yes, Dorens -- a big difference! Hi Boo
hi Dorens..
i find it much harder .. even with lists in babanon etc.. cause I can't line them up, so to check back and forth takes forever. when i have time it's okay, but when I don't, or it's a big monster grid, it;s another story
did hoot make a mistake in his list? I can't find the ca5/14
It's a plural of 4/6
plural
(hoot and I both copied gremlinn's list into our profiles)
morning une.... how is nashville?
Dorens -- I print the list. 5 columns (6 today) in MS Word...
and graduation? was fabuloso?
ty erda...my mistake
it was good, dorens -- but exhausting, and of course, while we were there, Nashville had the worst flood in history
oh. i have appleworks... not quite the same, but it would probably help to have it in print. thanks
ok, just dropped in for a sec . . . gone again *poof*
was your house okay? your mother? I can imagine it put a bit of a damper on the celebration, but still
looks horrible in Tenn and Kentucky
gm dorens and all
brb phone
hi Une and ruru and phaeton
gm boo
( ok. back in for another sec) all my family is fine but estimate of residential and commercial damage here is creeping toward $2 billion)

I fear it will be much bigger than that..
ok . . . really poofing :-) *poof*
has Fema started to help yet?

ugh.. nothing really?

OOPS- looking for the babblet
Looking for love in all the wrong places!
count the points, kaplan
how many points does it have?
ja 4/9
thank you
there's a brand of milk for people who are lactose intolerant but alas it is not a word
I guess malaca has two c's?
i can't spell so i can't say
anyone know wha tthe 9 is?
kje love your icon ..so pleasing .. eye candy
which 9?
only that it does not build off the 8s
there is a 9 in the grid kaplan
Hi.Just popped back. the 9 is al9,66 and it's connected with food.past tense of the word before it.
only have 2 of the 8's: ca and la
al9/66
Al9- when someone is doing what they love, they are in their ele****, cange the vowels to v
first letter and add past tense
change the vowels to first letter, not v. That was a typo
Th third 8 is a ta8,45
Has to do with digesting
ta5/45 is what we all are.
I can be more specific if you like.
okay love you bye bye *waves*
ty -- still working on the ele clue
*throws a quick water balloon at kje and runs out of the chog*
*poof*
cyber, part of our digestive system is called the al-------y canal.

Hi Mom
Nan what are the point values for the al 6-7-7 that you are looking for?

I am giving up for the time being. I am beating a dead horse here. Be back later. {{Hugs}}

Hi JBV

while I sit here and Babble :)

I haven't bought any yet, still a chance of frost
whoever thought Mother's Day should be one day a year was certainly not a mother
2nd do6?
My mom said to me ... I haven't got you a card (she is 74). I told her I didn't need a card, she treats me grand all year long
is it a do 6/33 Shirlockc?
Fairground attraction AKA Bumping cars. Dont know if you have them in the US.
that's very nice- Mom. Happy Mother's Day to you, to her and to all moms here
and to you, JBV
yep, the do6/33
and all the mom's out there
Do*** City (as in the old wild west) plus a cons
Shir, take the do 5/18 and let your *ind think of the last letter
thx for the do clue -- should have been able to monkey that!

Boo, get it?
no not yet
al + Govenor Arnold S. state abbreviation + I like to play h*** and seek
al plus 'the **lm before the storm plus Br**** and Grooms
Any luck Boo?
I was wondering the same thing Soodle
well ty here
Hi Joanne
hi mom
Hey Joanne.
Soodle, I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help and to gremlinn for the list :)
hi soodle, how are you to5??
ec5?
loss? soodle?
thank you Mom. It has been a really difficult couple of days. Its still really hard to come to terms with, but, life goes on!
ec + not early - last letter
Nan, my darling Rothweiller of 12 years had to be put to sleep on Thursday.
very sorry to hear that, soodle
oh -- so sorry soodle -- hard decision to make
ty cybernan
oh very sorry to hear that soodle
Not really, Nan. The vet said that there was no hope, and to leave him as he was would have been cruel. So, the decision wasn't hard - the saying good-bye was just terrible.
5 letter words done.
but you did the right thing soodle
for the dog and not being selfish... it's a hard thing to do
i commend u alot
A no-brainer, Joanne, but when the time came, I just caved in. He was with us through thick and thin, and always, always, a faithful friend. He is sorely missed, and will be for quite a while.
it's still sad for you.
understandably
well sounds like you gave him a wonderful life and companionship, soodle
Shit. Cant see the grid for tears again. Be back in a while.
aww sorry soodle
that is easy to understand, soodle -- I still miss our cat and she disappeared 4 years ago.
ok no more talk about it
37 more and going backwards now
I had to go answer the phone. I need to read back
to pretty mom..poor soodle
Oh, I didn't mean to make you cry Soodle {{{{{Hugs}}}}

Hello BabbleRabble. Nice to see you again.
You too, Soodlebum
just had a look at the calendar. i joined Babble one year ago! Pretty smart move on my part, 365 days ago.
helloooooo!
Hiya Pippin
ca 6/24 (the first one)
happy anniversary soodle, and hiya all
Join Soodle's First Birthday Party!
yay for soodle!
is this a hard grid or a forgiving one?
Tough, Pippin!
hard one -- getting stuck and not even halfway done! 8-(
just came back from outlet shopping, scored a killer black viscose diane von furstenburg sheath dress for under $90
There have been better - and no Lickety.
pippin, that sounds painful LOL
anyone have teh ca 6/24?
ouch, if it is lickety free i will keep away. very lickety dependent here
Can someone clue the lower right hand e for nbt?
this is an interesting grid, but at this point -55 left--i would need Lickety.
i have an mi6, but no ca6
I'm with you pip.
ca6 is a past tense of a ca4
Pippin - Try on The Dress again. That should take your mind off Babble.
ca + deli meet: sa****
ed5, rhymes with designer dresses are very in st***
meat
thank you vm
ty gwen
yw wht
actually the dress will be amazing when i drop the 5# i got on my holiday with the fella - being taken out to eat every day is dangerous!
Nothing like an incentive, Pippin....
I wish I could just drop 5 or 10- at this point in my life, it doesn't drop off, it holds on for dear life.
alsmot halfway, struggling to find one more word
(alsmot???)
which word, bdg?
me7 to settle a dispute
alsmot! a lovely word! let's add it to enable!
very funny kaplan
ec5?
Huh? I was just asking which word. Did I miss something?
kaplan, yes LOL
ec 5 reminds me of a chocolate eclair, but it isn't'
OK what did I miss?
"almost halfway"
Too subtle for me.
Oh, OK. ANY word. This is not one of my smart days.
halfway point is 104 words, and i had 103 at the time, so almost halfway
anyone have the ec 5?
My Smart Days are the first Tuesday and the third Wednesday of any month.
All the others are dumb days.
been hunting for ec5, no luck
found it
ec + the rabbit in alice in wonderland I'm ***e, i'm ***e
ec + see you ***er alligator
ec+ plus I leave early because I hate to be ***e for things.
Those were better clues.
oh goody, ty all, got the ec5
(adding to my collectino of silly words)
and I... am....done..
You have fireworks or are just tired?
phantom: I D I O T
wtg ruru !!! %%% *** !!!
The Phantom Idiot has been remarked on all day- no getting rid of the phantom idiot. But I will leave later.
I might make Phantom Idiot my new name
and, phantom I D I O T I C
I am looking for 4-letter words I may have missed.
Going to dinner now. 69 left ttfn
I only have 99 of them!
chow wht
i only have 83 four-letter words so far . . .
I just monkeyed a few.
I think that will be my goal- to get all the 4's.
Lowering my expectations.
ooh, just monkeyed an 8 (faints)
which 8?
ca8
There's no word for men who take LSD, but if it were it would be here.
That was an 8 I monkeyed too!
Or males who drink beer.
or guys who chase felines . . .
Or men who prefer long outer garments to short jackets. But we are being frivolous.
Keep doing it, we're bound do hit something.
hmmmmm
so, is there a list of clues on the babble anon site?
got one in my profile
Without Lickety, I can't keep track- takes too much time.
just found the Bab anon one, thanks une
no prob
Phantom catydid.
oooh found another woid
Hi All - wow - big grid and just starting
hey, mom :-)
Speaking of Woids, there was a "terlet" the other day, but Enable doesn't speak old Brooklynese.
Hi Une - how are you - back home?
too bad, i could use some lessons before i move!
got home from Michigan Sunday . . . heading up to my mom's tomorrow -- yep, I be home :-)
clue for the a in the lower left corner for nbt?
hey pippin - how was the big weekend - last that is
battery ac** and plural
if it's an as4 you are looking for, it's a computer term
ty, kap
hey, dawg :-)
hiya Unea!!
I have 49 left but no list, and 16 4-letter words to go.
you are GOOD Kap - can always find list on anonymous
jacula is always there for us
or in my profile
I like to line up the lickety list when I get to this point- but don't know how to do that with the other lists.
kap, just click on my profile and grab the edges to adjust width . . . line 'er up
Word stats is a little bit helpful.
its alot more work when you have to list yourself
Did I say I was lazy? I am.
:-D
no lazy just spoiled like I am with this game - lol
i copy the list and paste it into word processor. when i have all the words in one groups (say, all the AS-- words) i erase the whole group
I just type them in - too much work I know
That's way too technical. but I can try it, I suppose.
(i've done the same as gwen when only Babanon is available)
you can also just type them in when you find them, but the snag is that there might be a bunch of them (say, four different as5s) and you can't always be sure which one you found
thanks - I will combine the approaches
that's the problem.
that's why i only erase a group after i have all the words in that group . . . sorta solves the snag
just "erased" all the AM-- words
just got new computer with new word program - cant figure out how to delete - frustrating
Bah!
mom, you have Windows 7??
mi5/18 please?
nm!!
if you highlite and right click, there is no delete choice - grrr
firewords! gotta get ready for a friend's 75th bday party! byeee *poof*
wtg une !!! ~~~ !!!
congrats une and have a great time
mom, try highlight, then hit the DELETE key on your keyboard
dah - that worked - thanks gwen
woot!
I use Microsoft Excel to do the lists when Lickety isn't available. Put the list in one column, leave one blank and then the 3rd column I just type words as I find them. When I get all the words I can think of I use the alpahbetical sort feature then work on fitting them into the 2nd colum where they belong next to the list. When I get a group done I highlight it.
wow luv - will think about that
that sounds like even more work than my system, luv 8-)
lickety makes it OH so easy - we really are spoiled
lol I guess everyone has their own way
why are there no clues for the past few days
yes lickety is a time and brain saver
ailament not a word? hmmmm
lickety split does the clues, he must be on vacation
I dont know - maybe doctors appointments or more surgery - hope they are OK
thank you
nope - need to drop a vowel
i'll drop any vowel you say LOL
always hated the u - but not in that word - shucks
just picked my word of the day - its the en5 =- lolol
are we talking serious polyps??? LOL
well i have 65 to go, time to teak a broke BBL
bye gwen - lucky you - I still have 85

I have 41 left but don't know what I'm missing because I'm without a list- however, I do know there are 10 more 4 letter words for me to find
use list in une's profile or babanon
They're hard for me to work from at this point.
Long discussion on this earlier- let's just say that at this point I would go into Lickety, which is clearer to lay out.
sometimes it's that way - bye !
If you open a profile - Une or Grems - you can resize it and lay over chat - works for me quite well
BBL
I'll try it- without enthusiasm
Too much work.

I am well, but allergies are kicking my butt right now.
*kisses monkeys* got it!
there. NBT and down to 139...
The da4/5 is May 8, 2010. It is now ti4/5 for a story of clues. I de 4/6 it necessary to do a story of clues since there is no list.So if anyone ne5/12 clues, here they are. I was not too ta8/45 doing the grid today. I ai5/14 to finish puzzle with the ai 4/5 of my babble friends, but it just isn't going to happen. I only made a small de4/5 in the grid.I think that I suffer from an ai7/32 called "nobrainitis".I desperately ne4/5ed my monkeys help.But those monkeys tried to do5/18 my presence because they didn't want to help me. I had a me 4/5 down and started screaming at them. They li 4/5 & said that they couldn't find any words. Then they cl4/6 up because they had nothing to say.Then they high ta4/4ed it out of here.I wouldn't even pay a di4/5 to get monkeys back. I usally do 4/5 on them with bananas, but not today. They didn't give one io 4/4 about not getting bananas. Now I have ca 6/27 down.I don't give a do4/5 if I don't finish. It matters to me not one di 4/5! I believe I will remain ca4/6 by spending the rest of the night w/my ca6/24 cat and watching The Cl6/21.Wish that I could stay up la4/4 until the flip, but I am just too tired. ci 4/5 babblers!
oh I am sorry about the allergies, Min -- you want to hear about my allergy this week?
I think I am allergic to middle school kids... Every week when I walk into the junior high where I observe/help on Thursdays, I spend the first hour or two sniffling and coughing... and then I am fine! LOL I think I am allergic to half-awake adolescents.
Sure, why not stidmama! Misery loves company and I am certainly MISERABLE!
Min, you're an angel! thanks for the story-clues!
Stiddy! yes, allergies to middle school kids is an occupational hazard!
*grin* "nobrainitis indeed!*
wonderful story Min!
Thanks guys!

Hi herin
The creature known as the "gremlin" has been accused of mischief, yes.
Mischief, a.k.a. the first lady of the tribe.
yes, it's like that wretched goblin in the gears!
don't poke the pc
my pc has issues, if I didnt need it for school I would toss it
Cherly can you get someone to look at it or is it just too fusy
Looking for clues for the la5 and la6 after the la8
don't have it sorry
la + Ms Farrow
the 6 adds another vowel at the end
ty lbd
it is in my settings somewhere, when typing it just goes to different pages or helps
ty lbd
yw
I have a cute story can I tel it
l's liquidated
ty ibd
do tell, herin
yes sounds good herin
Last night I was unwell so I grabbed the kitty and went to bed. She decided to snuggle me all night under the covers. She is not a people person so it is special when she is snuggly. The other cat slept with himself
ahh
The white cat is not a people person. She loves site by you or on the arm of the chair but not ever on you.
cats know when you dont feel good and try to help
Yes that is true. Little black guy is not really my cat persay
Has anyone had the issue of words not being there when the have entered them into the grid?
that happens often for me, herin. not sure if i just spelled them wrong or typed too fast.
m's mashed
because surely, it isn't that i would miss a word! *shock*
go go, wht!
yeah wht
For instance I put in RENT last night and it is not there today. I know I put the word in there I remember doing it but this morning I had to put RENT in there again (Rent is just the replacement for the word that went missing)
Sometimes I find that I haven't typed the words I thought I did.
I'm not sure that's happened, but I've had it not do the counts right, so I actually had found all the words but didn't get fireworks displayed until I refreshed the page.
Every once in a while my typos turn into real words.
I am fairly sure I did put the word in I know that I am crazy but not that crazy
herin: probably a similar glitch to what happened to me
Or as Wht said maybe I didn't
I just finished by putting in = again = my final word. It happened at least a dozen times today and happens every grid. And I am very aware of it so I make sure I spell it right. I look for the green. I think we are short on space.
back for a few more,but had too much to do,and not enough day to do it in and babble must suffer for it:((
hi all
Either way, I'm certain that glitches can and have occurred.
Hi Crossie
well I am going to call it a night with 85 left, am tired and have a long day tommorrow
A clue for sc6 for fireworks, please
why does everyone find it so hard to belive it IS happening? I have heard many people mention it!
by all, will try to get back on again in a couple of days
what is happening??
By cherly
wht add 2 vowels
I am sure it happens
bye cherly
we've been losing words entered crossy
I have had it happen to me before, but like i said my puter is messed up so thought it just me
nope - it is happening
ty hoot.
night all,
Fireworks
yw
whoooooo hoooooo wht!!
and on that note, i'm heading for my pillows. see you all tomorrow!
This was not an easy grid. Thanks to Gremlinn for the list.
congrats wht!
nite lbd
yeah, I thought it was fairly difficult too
Does anyone want clues before I go?
Night lbd
BA I hate download time limits
Hi Hoot
that reminds me - gremlinn how come your list prints so big?
hi herin - how goes it?
not sure what you mean
Good but frustrated.
Gremlin. You have to wait 15 minutes between each download if you are a free user
I usually copy Lickitys list to word and do the same with yours. Your print size is aways larger
ah, herin - but I meant about my list printing big
Oh, print size - does it do that for other profiles?
Um were is it posted?
Good night all.
I just have a list in my profile - it's just plain text.
Night WHT
actually Jaculas used to print smaller and now is larger.
THat is fine
hootowl: I will try copying my list to Word and see
Maybe it is a profile text change.
Gremlin I have marked your game site too
cool, herin
I know - I copied it to mine today. I'm not complaining just wondering why it happens. Thought maybe you had chaged something
Huge gaming nerds in this house
ok
ca6/24, not the cat?
hootowl: I get a small font here - not sure why it's doing that for you
Right o my lovelies I must depart have a fantastic day
gets more interesting - I just copied the list in my profile to word and it stayed small. Weird, weird, weird!
ca + stop b****ng yourself for everything that goes wrong
I guess we will just have to chalk it up to our cmps
Thank you Gremlin!!
sorry - nite herin
well I guess next time I'l run it thru mine first. Strange, strange, strange. And thanks for doing it.
you're welcome

Hi, nan
ty got it nan
been over at weboggle -- not a very friendly bunch!
ty gremlinn. got it.
HI grem -- ty for today's list -- big help
weboggle? what is that?
al6 you probably need too: drunk on ***ohol + old, unused words become arch***
how do i get to weboggle?
online boggle game, mkg
how so, nan?
just google boggle online -- it's about 4th or 5th down the list
ty did need it and got it from your clue. ty.
do you mean the one that's WordSplay now, or weboggle.info or whatever it is
I played for over an hour won several games and was mostly in the top 5 -- while I congratulated everyone else, no one said boo to me
need first two al 7s too

ty got it.
got second one too. ty.

five a words left.
nan: did you mean the site at weboggle.info?
Thanks, gremlinn
al5 10 second one please
and nan!
yes grem -- that's the one
I played a couple games there, but the lag when entering words was unbearable - every other word I typed didn't go through
I didn't have a problem that way -- there was a slight delay in tallying the score, but it came out all right in the end
WordSplay is a better place to play, IMO
there was another player named qwerty that I though might have been a babbler, seeing as how that is one of our babblets
i do wordsplay. both 4 and 5.
ec clue please?
I will try that another time then
Hmm, but lots of Scrabble players and computer tech people would know the word "qwerty" too.
ec + ***e is not early
ec + not early - e
ty got it.
back to a words.
do you use the same name there grem?
yes, "gremlinn" everywhere
need as clues.
Book Doctor Gwen is currently at WordSplay - I see her chatting there.
