LOL west!
ok.. I"m done.
today is daughter #2's birthday
Yay m !!
wish she was here
ah.. happy birthing day!
it was she was born on a Sunday
LOL.. i'm reading the clean, premarital version kama sutra that my friend made as a wedding gift for his pal. too funny.
beautiful autumn day
my first was born on easter sunday, and it happened to be daylight savings that year too..
beautiful spring day.
so she's a child born on the sabbath day!
bonnie and bright and good and gay
is she bonnie and blythe and good and gay?
oops.. i mean blithe
my cousin was born on Easter Sunday too but it was also April Fool's Day
oh I always thought it was bright I like blithe better
Aiden's bday has been on Easter twice now.. and I don't think mine ever has.. although we're only 2 days apart.
her father was at sea
Wendy's b'day is 3 days after mine and Jo's is 1 day after her dad's
cool! I like a baby as a bday present!LOL
yeah it is nice
I'm now to the chapter called "cuddling: the chastity version of second base".
just wish my young friend could spell..
when is he going to give it to his friend?
maybe you can be his editor
I don't know... he did it with "mypublisher".. it has pictures and colors.. it's very nice.. just a lot of spelling errors... I'll ask him if he wants it edited..
wow that's quite an accomplishment
surprised there's not spell check
yes. I usually don't correct folks spelling.. but this is something he's doing as a finished "product"..
he's very creative..
wants to go into filmmaking.
yeasterday i was watching a youtube vid he did a few years ago. It cracks me up!
youtube is such a great outlet
do you have the url handy?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgv0jR_ XNbk
thanks
yw
that's really clever..almost woke up hubby..forgot to turn the sound down lol
oops!LOL

yes. the first kid
very talented
loved having him over for dinner.

sneak sneak sneak POUNCE on West
Hi herin !! that woke me right up
what happened to the grid? It's puny
Good
it sure is
Ru it may have teeth thoug
how're you doing herin?
hi ruru too too
hi all
Good. Probably upset a few people today but not my prob
in here or out there?
FB
bet they deserved it
I did a post about Puppy Farms and the fact that the council of that area has allowed this for 8 years
they are horrible
And they are legal
and they shouldn't be
puppy mills are a horrible thing
That is why there is rallys to innact Oscars Law.
was Oscar a puppy from one ?
Most Pet's Paradise stores obtain their animals from back yard breeders and mills and general dumb nuts that don't neuter their cats
it's a real shame
were people upset because they didn't know or do they agree with it?
Both really
nothing wrong with educating people
The sad thing is now pet stores are now putting stickers up saying otherwise thinking that the general populace are stupid
West about Oscar yes he is (or was). Debra from Animal Lib rescued him and then the police returned him to the owners
dumb sh*ts
West this is the site for what Oscars Law is. Please be aware that images are disturbing. http://www.oscarslaw.org/
okay
morning all
hi sprite
hey ruru, lady and west!
crap safari won't open connection
I'll try again later
hi sprite !!
Hi Sprite
didn't mean to greet you with 'crap'
West can you google Oscars law?
roflol! *hugs* and how have you been?
*breaks out poop bags*
I wish to appoligise for being on my soap box
I've been fine and busy sprite
as ever, i am surprised tonate doesn't count while detonate is a word.
glad to hear it, west :)
I admire your spirit about the subject herin
It is a very horrible thing that must be stopped over time
you're passionate, lady, and I think that is a good thing when it comes to subjects like this *hug*
you don't need to apologize to me
you can apologize for allowing me to start this stupid grid.. however
come on ruru, be a man... carry the responsibility!
lol

Hello, Ruby :-)
zzoozz!!
found 16 words, slowing down already..lol
ok, 16, too
but you are much better at this
me thinks not.
22!
my first word which jumped out at me was av6/33
19 :-)
funny when that happens
I think I just hit the first wall at 22 words!
my first word was ca5/16
did you find the na5/12 which is almost my real name?
oh, have now, thanks Ruby :-)
and now you know my secret hahah
will not say a word :-)
so far, I don't see any builders; I guess that's what makes the little grids so hard
found the volcano.
did you find the other na5/12 -- a kind of pearl-like substance
half now!
inside of shells?
yep got that one
another name for zits :-)
and the na5/14? This is fun! Do you have the 7? I don't
ty, I missed that. Hit me with a mackerel
not yet, Ruby
girl goat
*S.L.A.P*
almost my name, too
:-)
i have just found a load that starts with tin
enable doesn't accept Fr turnip
tin?
ca*
i am finding this so hard , i ca**** do this grid.
ca?? like tin???
whoo, lovely clue, thanks
yes thats right Ruby
va6/30 meaning empty
oooh!
that was a great clue for a word I would never have seen
:-)
ooh av6/33 to get back at some-one.
that's it, my first word!
36, now
not seeing the 7 yet
same here Ruby..lol
I'm counting on you
phantom: tenant
ca5/16 a large pole....scotland, tossing the ca***
ty, I didn't think of that word
38
fe4, cheese.
Good morning ruby and zooz. I see I have to look away to avoid the clues!
natto is Japanese sticky beans, not accepted by enable although I try every week or so!
close your eyes, sally. {{big hug to you}}
i tired nato..lol
zzoozz and I are having a (lame) race
it's funny which food words are accepted
oh very sorry, Sally, no more clues unless asked, got carried away.
OK, Sally, we'll stop horsing around
18 left
it was just us and we were going at similar speeds
I think between you you must have given about 15 without my ev4 looking at the grid!
uh oh, he's gaining ground, I only have 38
I have literally just started and I have 24!
I have died on the branche, like my figs....
am sorry, sally, not the name of the game, please accept my apologies.
(but that was fun, zzoozz)
it was Ruby :-)
It's OK, no need to apologise. If you'd carried on I would have hidden the chog.
it was funny because we were seeing the same words at different times
10 left, now ca6 find anything :-(
I have 20 left.....
wouldn't an s be lovely?
19
we are so on the same wave length Ruby, i was thinking the same thing..lol
do you want to play lexulous on FB zzoozz? I'm nancy kelley in there
there are 100's of nancy kelley's I think but my e-mail is in my profile
PB :-)
no no -- close, but no cigar!!
i do not use FB Ruby, but thanks :-)
i`ll let you off tis time :-)
I don't like FB at all, but the new lex format is so horrible, that at least the one in FB isn't as bad
i thought it was a secret?..lol
phew!
6
17 hahah
n's slain
yes found the 7 woo hoo
pretty please, a hint
ca7/44
with an italian ending
canetto
well that's not it! sorry

got it, thank you, now I'll slink away to the PB for some more coffee
13 left but I think I have to go and be a hostess!!
2 left for me
gonna go & brew a cuppa, and eat some teacakes :-)
15 left for me, so far quite a quick one but I think I'm about to hit the brick wall!
Bye for now ruby, enjoy your hostessing
that's how the wall feels to me, sally
almost over for this week
Thanks {{Ruby}}, i really enjoyed today :-)
me too {{zoozz}}, but you're better! I still have 13 left
{{sally}}

good morning all. Just missing one na5/12-not Regan's wife, to finish and can't for the life of me find it.
good morning eva, and all my lovely babble friends!
hi eva!!! *pats merp*
hi trif!
mrrrp!
(Merp
Another word for mother of pearl Eva. Greetings all.
(Merp's response to being petted)
:)
FM to the rescue!!!Thanks
Now I can go about being a somewhat productive being....
yay and congrats then! and a scritch under the chin for Mr Merp :)
seeing some fireworks then, eva? congrats!
he's in his hunkered down, I'm about to die from malnutrition morning pose.....one of the primary cat asanas.
cat asanas......what a great way to put it!!!!
lol, such a neglected cat!
but I don't give in until at least 7:30 or we get creeping incrementalism
incrementalism? now that would be a good word to find in the grid.
arrrgh! why are there some words I always forget to look for? arrrrrrghhhh x 2!
I don't think I've ever seen anything above 11 letters.
have you got the volcano Trif?
NOW I do, thanks FM! It's the adolescent skin ailment I was grumping over....and, for that matter, rein, asea, nana, and that ever popular goose.
and the greek temple
oh I always miss that one too Trif.
A bientot mes amis
a bientot eva
A tout a l'heur.
and it is lunch time here so I shall head towards the kitchen.
FM< what is the literal translation?
till another hour (or another time) I think.
my French is so rusty.
yes, I guess that must be it. I was confusing heur with heurese, and trying to get some sort of happiness in there
tout usually means all, yes?
Back in a bit once I have found food.

howdy bob

all that wedding tension...
lol
quick throw some water over her, she is hysterical!
LOL! It's the wedding nerves ;) gotta be less than a month now, right??
29 days, and counting. :D
late in oct...maybe it will snow that day...:))
Hey, I just realized that since my name is in the grid, my icon fits the theme of the day.
crossy, dont make me become violent! :X
there have been many times in the past i have had to fit a snow suit over my kids costume
:)))
29 days before she's Mrs EvaNadine ;)
Crossy! You are playing with fire :P
Now back to my regularly scheduled work.
lol..kk....i will be hush
oh, NB, ive missed you so! its been WEEKS!! whats going on in your life, dearest??
mm it will not take veta:((
Oh, I've been hiding out since I got back ;) been super busy!! Hope everything is alright with you?
help with ta5/12?
Can't tell you how many times I've entered 'vegan'..
oh, i can tell youve been hiding out. i have half a mind to not speak to you. :P
ta5 is like the fa5/18
thanks!
yw
hey, NB! Welcome back! You came back on the right day - your name is in the grid!
Aww, I'm sorry ;) just had no time! Life moves too quickly for a little guy like me.
Hi, JBV :) Thank you! Didn't realise I'd been missed :P
i was thinking perhaps frank decided you werent allowed to play with us anymore + was keeping you all top himself...
so you've been to the other side of the world and back, and we are glad to see you again
Oh dear. I've only just got here and you're going to start embarrassing me right away? ;)
its your punishment for staying away so long. ;)
I have one word left... the grid says it is a c7, but the clues say it is a ca4. which one is it?
awww, well thanks JBV :) I've got to say, just visiting back home makes me appreciate England all over again!
there is a caq7
*ca7
thanks. got a clue for it?
you could make a movie, NB - there's no place like home, you and Dorothy
no, sorry
No place like home at all! Wonderful, cold, wet England. No place on the planet like good old London!
guess i'll just have to figure it out...
isn't it great when you love where you are? I felt that way when I lived in NYC, not so much here in NJ
ca7 = a hole in a rock face + double cons + vowel. I can't clue; that'll either be unfathomable or ridiculously easy.
Thanks NB!! Fireworks. My first ever.
(((((((huggles NB)))))))
got it, thanks, NB!
yay, Quill!
Are you in a city now, JBV, or a smaller settlement? I think I'd really miss living in a city. Got friends who live in the country; have to wonder how they sleep without the traffic noise ;)
Aww Eva ;) I feel so loved!
Oh, and you're welcome, everyone!
Sigh, I guess I have to leave now and buy butter.
i lived in central NJ - suburbia all the way - population of this town is about 40,000, but nothing's happening here - NYC is only about 30 miles away, but we don't get there too often
you ARE loved, sweetness. :)
My understanding of the geography of the states leaves much to be desired ;)
you would love my town NB right by a large bay,near a mtn,but after 9 pm you may as well roll up the sidewalks;0
awww :) well that is so sweet of you! I really can't believe your wedding is so close, now.
*sleepy*
I have discovered something so cool recently, you can google a street view of most big cities and take a virtual "walk" downt he streets - i
Oh Crossy, I can't cope without the sounds of roaring traffic and drunks staggering past our building!
hi hurshy
you and me both, NB!
hi
Never tried streetview, but I have a real fixation with google earth. Couldn't tell you why!
City kids born and bred, Eva ;)
when i first left for college, i couldnt fall asleep because i didnt hear the train go by at 10 every night!
i feel so lonely. it's silly, i would normally be by myself right now at work, but, my husband is participating in a research study and has to be at the hospital all weekend for it, and even though i normally might not be with him right NOW, i miss him already for the rest of the weekend.
sounds like a nice thing to put in a note and give it to him when you see him
oh, i already told him last night :) lol
ok :)
so do something nice for yourself and you won't be watching the clock
Hi babble friends!
(unsolicited advice from someone who longs for a few minutes of alone time)
I know what you mean, Hurshy. Sweet sentiment :)
i will probably spend some time with my grandparents, as i'm trying to do that more often anyway.
there is an adorable commercial on TV with little kids and their grandparents (I don't even remember the product - i think it's insurance or something) - capture the special relationship so perfectly
woohoo, monkeyed the 7!
*yawn* might be time for an advil, if this niggling headache doesnt go away...
do, evanadine - recent studies have shown that taking ibuprofen when you have various aches over the course of your life, reduces your later risk of something big like alzheimer's or heart disease or something.
or should i say "may reduce" - that's the official language, right? :)
oh, i take plenty of advil. i am prone to headaches, thanks to my TMJ. hopefully i can meet with my dentist (a TMJ specialist) after the wedding and get this course started for fixing these issues!
have you already been using a nightguard to no avail?
fireworks! take care, Eva - and bye everyone -
i had a nightguard in college. chewed through it in less than a week.
eva - when are you getting married?
my daughter is getting married Oct. 9
exciting time
hi all
eva?
guess she doesn't want to talk to me
fireworks
bye all
trantsnana, are you still here? i wasnt ignoring you -- i was just working -- sorry!
Hi, neighbors. Just finished, but thought I'd better say howdy-do to y'all.
Morning all. Could I please have a clue for the c/7? It's my last one and I'm so close to finishing listlessly...
Never mind--monkeys got it for me! (Only after trying about a dozen plausible but nevertheless non-real words.)
Never mind--monkeys got it for me! (Only after trying about a dozen plausible but nevertheless non-real words.)
Jan - builds off the ca4 - add an itallian ending to it.
Thanks Judi--hard one to clue, no?
I can hear my husband saying, "Funny, you don't look listless to me." Badumdum...
Yes. That's a weird one.
Gotta scoot. Work to be done! *POOF*
Out of here myself, too. Good luck with the puzzle, all. It's a gentle one.
fireworks!!
is anybody still here? I have ten impossible words left!
Hi ruby lets see if we can't get you fireworkds!
I can never get them without your help, FM!!!!

Fireworksed

Hello babblers.
hello red
with 20 eft this is starting to be a slight challenging...
**sets the table with ham, roast beef, turkey, white / rye bread, condiments and iced tea** Lunch time and hello
16 left here
Hi Mom!!
Hi Red! How is the new job?
or has it not started yet?
It's good Mom. I'm moving to day shift in one week and we will see how that goes. I started 4 months ago.
I knew you were on nights but for some reason I thought day shift started this week
It starts I think on Wednesday. I have one night shift left on Monday.
I hope you will enjoy it
I'm sure it will be an adjustment! I hope I enjoy it too!
How are you?
after being on nights all this time, it is bound to be. Did you ever have a second date with that guy?
I am fine, so hoping for rain. But life here is good
I decided against it. he is a little strange and I think the effort he was requiring was not worth it...sadly, or maybe not so sadly!
gotcha
always surprised that Nano is not a word.
I agree
doesn't stop me from trying it though
me too!!!
mom, when is the wedding planned for your son?
June 4th next year
lots of time to plan then! I hope you like the future wife?
Oh I do, Red, she is so delightful
Oh very nice!
they had reserved a bungalow on the beach on the Gulf side, Anna Marie Island, I think is the name
Fireworks!!!
sent in the deposit and everything. Two days ago they get a letter saying that the family needs the house at that time and they were refunding their deposit
congrats Redshoes
anyone need clues?
Oh how frustrating. really awful. but at least the deposit was refunded!
thanks Red, but I wouldn't know what to ask for
and there is still plenty of time to find another place
I'm good red, making slow and steady progress, down to 15 left, hope to finish without list!
ok. then I'm off! Happy Babbling!
well, lunch is finished. I had better tend to the ironing. So nice chatting with you Red. Take care. ((Hugs to all of you))
bye Redshoes
Have they considered two places, Seaside Florida? or Sanibel Island, or if they like Victorian type places in Florida there is a place Apalachicola Fl which is lovely.
Oooh Bye red shoes and also Bye Mom!
I will tell them, Red, thanks
I am off as well...
hi all
howdy carlee
tough little grid,1 more and i can list:) never thought i would have to list with a 60 word grid:/
I was lucky enough to winkle out enough last night to leave (mostly) one word to find between two - the constraints of the grid itself limits the monkeying around a lot! But where I've got two words together between two others, it's harder to keep the constraints in mind!
But I never considered not listing once I had about 30 and was totally stalled.
i just dont like it when it becomes babblet sniping and not actually looking for words just cramming in any 4 letter combo till you hit one one
hello everyone, passing through and decided to stop for a bit
howdy annie
hi crossy
13 left and I give up
Sea, would you like a clue
But then when you get to the 6's - the ones embedded in a group of words - reasoning out the possibilities is interesting.
va 6 Annie, both of them ty
va 6--empty as an apartment or house
just got that one
how many
ty
one of them an unoccupied aparment is ca6; the other is to va6 the apartment to cause it to be va6
va6 - I've been doing that all morning!
helen beat me to it
va 6/30 to leave
the no6 is to take no4!
ty Annie
Got phone calls to make - but back I hope in about 30 min.
60 arach
ve 5/20 ---to take satisfaction but take the first letter off, then you get ve 5/20

as I said "just passing thru" now on my way, be back later
Hi jmc. Do you like my icon clue today?
hi all! i just finished and i have an extrem ely stupid question -
We are glad to provide stupid answers.
Didn't mean to scare you off bethn. What is your question.
my last word was the first ca5. i had to use morewords and just type in all the cas. i have the word, but cannot find it in the grid- i am either blind or senile. either is actually a pretty safe bet
can anyone else actually SEE that word?
It circles around counterclockwise from the c.
From the c, head south, northwest, south and south again
BTW Hi everybody :-)
That is not the first ca5, soodle. The first one starts out going northeast from the c.
i am a moron ! my monitor is going and the first column was not visible- I had to shift the whole page to find it face in palm head banging on desk
the way i was looking at it i could only get cabf or cabn
Oh, sorry..... Lots of morons today :-)
i must be contagious
LOL
everything on my screen is almost twice as big as it should be, i have adjusted resolution etc but no joy, so everything that should show does not :(
I don't even have that excuse....I am just a moron!
it is so hot here, i just let the cat in, it feels like july. my thermometer is reading 83 in the shade
how many today
anyone need any moronic clues before i leave?
Where in the US are you, Beth?
60 nasty little words
northern new jersey suburb of new york city
Wow. And its that hot there? There is a definite touch of autumn around here...
it has been odd weather, last week it was very cool and fall like today its a scorcher
Enjoy it, Bethn. It could snow tomorrow!
some of our leaves are changing already, and people are running around in shorts and sandals
I hope not soodle for my crew's sake. I am the office manager for a window cleaning co, winter is miserable on our men. their poor hands get raw.
Oh my. I feel so sorry for outdoor workers in the winter.... but very jealous of them in Summer!
i am going to leave as long as no one is craving my clues. see you all in the grid tomorrow.
see you soodle have a good day!
30c here today and sweating bullets;( yesterdaywas 12 and rain..go figure
Bye Beth..Have a good Friday!

hi all -- varumba, have you found Lickety's Babble Clues, below the grid and tiles, under Friends of Babble?
12 is the number of points -- check out the help above
but 5/12?
and lickety's list below
will do, tx
tx jilli too
5(letters)/12(points)
5 letter words.... total of letters x 2 = 12
5 letters.. 12 points.. have you looked at help yet?
hi everyone
and the second na5/12 in Lickety's list
and what i didn't get for a long time is that 5 letters mean you double the points
hi jilli and dorens
and the 2nd na5/12 is like a girl's (or nb's) name with a different last letter.
ok, just looked .... i now understand (i think)
will need to look in a bit more details though i think
oh I was think that was the first one!
well you know how to get to carnegie hall right varumbe?
practice practice practice!
huh?
oh i see
ol
welcome to the grid varumba
;-)
ty :D
varumba, have you found Lickety's list yet?
i play tangle at cobra dragon, but this is a nice alternative when no player around
slower pace and nice people many of whom are tanglewood players
well i looked at it to understand the numbers... but is that list of clues actually for the grid in play?
this is a cooperative, no-hurry game, varumba, not a speedy competition ;)
varumba, welcome and prepare to become addicted
yes, it is for this grid, varumba
Good evening Babblers
yes that is a list of clues for the words that can be found in the grid
hi kaytee long time no see
hi ktj, don't think we've met before -- ?
lol, how did you guess I played in the 30 sec room???? and i am already addicted i think ;) and yes, i just looked again at lickety's page, and realised it was the same grid... duh
tx for al the help guys
hi kay, jilli and jmc
you are welcome and please feel free to ask for clues

Dorens, it was a public holiday here today - celebrating Heritage Day. Unofficially it's become known as "Braai (Barbecue) Day" so we all overdosed on red meat, lol

varumba, the icon theme for today is " Take A Word From The Grid - then our icons will also be clues" and mine is inded a clue -- you probably have the word.
i would barbecue salmon, mself
oh, thanks for the reminder jilli, and thanks for your clue
with barbecue sauce dorens?
yep
You do know you can click on the icons and get some info about the players?
haha j.. that would have been funny indeed
chimichurri sauce
jilli> How does one know what the daily theme is?
took me a while to decipher what you meant though, LMAO.... do you have to be "pro"though to have access to icons?
not so funny i was biting everyone's head off instead
nope, but i do now :D
so, is turtle in the grid je?
sprite posts a list of icon themes and I copy it into my profile.
yes varumba but it is well worth the one time price
Dorens> Salmon comes in tins unless you're very rich - not good on the fire
no sorry dorens it is left over from pet day
[hangs head in shame]
no varumba, but becoming pro is highly recommended for many reasons, the least of which is the fact that this is worth far far more than the measly $15!
wow cool the features on this site!
mb i will invest ;)
no, tinned salmon is good for salmon cakes or salmon spread
good idea, var!
and you get pretty fireworks when you complete the grid
awwwwwwwwwww
am stuck though
and getting sleepy
BWAHAHAHAHA we have hooked another one!
Dorens> sounds good to me - I love fish!
firewroks AND our congratulations!!
*rubs hands in glee*
yeah, i love word games....
someday will post me salmon cake recipe... it's a winner
plus nice ppl to chat with... ppl who help each other out.... just for me :D
in the US fresh or frozen salmon is pretty easy to come by
Dorens> When you do, please make sure I'm around to reap the benefit :)
the chat is what brings a lot of us here on days like today with such a tiny grid
This is salmon country
does varumba mean you are from virginia and you specialize in latin dancing?
UK dorens
kaytee are you on facebook?
bad bad bad, dorens!
varumba is a brit
We have salmon, but imported and usually smoked - which is divine, but VERY pricey
actually, am French... just living in the UK
* just wish ruru was here to appreciate the humor!*
i think it was a logical guess
i think it was a logical guess
alors, bonjour, varumba -- or should it be bonne nuit?
Dorens> Yes I am - after a year, I actually started today to learn what happens there, lol
logic"r"us!
wait til ruby meets you she is US living in France
frequently lots of french words in the grid.... today we have avec!
Good afternoon, are there 3 no's for the 'N' in the top row 2nd column? I have a no4/4 and a no6/18, the 4 works off of the 18.
wait til ruby meets you she is US living in France
varumba has indeed somethign to do with Ballroom Dancing.... but it's a mixture of 2 languages, 1 word and 1 acronym ;)
dunno yet marc.. sorry
explain, pls, var!
secret ;)
never told anyone..... most ppl get the rumba bit, and knowing i am a dancer... it's easy
there are three marc
they can't vigure out the va, lol
i have an no4/4 and no4/7 from that marc
kaytee.. friend me.... doren greene... then remind me sometime and i'll send it to you (am on laptop now and can't access it)
pfff!
figure*
well maybe when varumba knows us better. . .
lmao
no 4/7? scratching my head!
not about knowing... i got long time cyberfriends who still don't know.....
Dorens> I'll try, but not too sure how to go about it, lol
i'll be patient kaytee
sorry 2x no4/4, not 4/7!
I don't think it can be a No7?
OH I mean an no4/7
brb
your cat looks a lot like my lucy, but she has green eyes. my other cat has yellow eyes like that, so she/he is like a combination of both of mine
lots of arrivals -- hi all!
Thanks
good evening, all
My cat (Shadow) is the greatest feline I've ever shared a home with - such ATTITUDE!
clue for the no6, Marc?
hellooo
just read something funny recently.... all dogs have ADHD and all cats have asperger's syndrome.. kinda true, from my experience
to write done extend no4/4
I meant write down
can't find NE 4/7
Not sure what Aspergers is - I know that dogs have masters, while cats have staff!
anagram of e 4/7, varumba
got it
ca 7/44?
just to verify is todays theme caligraphy art? thanks
asperger's is a form of autism... they don't always respond to human interaction..
today is friday... it's always take a word from the grid
aspergers is high functioning autism
cos, think of the place where good wine is kept..... add an italian ending
lol - very true ... unless it suits them!
absolutely!
it's like the ca6/30 before it, with an Italian ending
Good wine is kept in the glass alongside me!
thanks for the ca7 varumba.. never would have found that one myself
actually, brid, who plays here and also tangle on cobradragon, mentionned it.... then she mentionned this game, i came to look, and never left... and saw ca 7 so I did the maths ;) yw
thanks got it
yw :)
added you I think, cosdem? ha!
saw a notice to, lol!
re 6/24 ? got the tax one...
Could I get a clue for the first c it is a ca5/16, please
it's like that one, different vowel ending, varumba
yeah, Marc, it is
ca5/16
ty for that george
got that one, but it made 30 points... there's another one with 24
what's that, varumba?
fireworks
ooooh got it george, ty ty ty
wd cosdem!
yay cosdem!
you asked about the 2nd re6/24--it's like the one before it, just a different vowel ending!
oh nm, you got it!!
it looked hard but it wasnt really.. but i do hope next grid has more words lol
congrats, cosdem! see what I said to ya?
I don't undertand like what one?
probably will... they usually do, cosdem
like rebate
oooooooooops sry!
no?
eh? Marc, are you asksing about the re6/24 as well?
forgot to give a clue.....
oh, well I saw a notice to add ya, so sent you one!
cosdem, that is!!
beginner's mistake :$
ca5/16 c + s**** toothed tiger
on a m8's page, like
Marc> ca5/16 = Scottish tosser
ha, ha! funny clue, Kaytee!
oh okay! i havent checked yahoo yet i was gonna do that now
ill confirm
Thanks George - not sure how many will get it
can anyone help with the bottom n?
you know, 'tosser' having the meaning it does here!
It was said with tongue in cheek, lol
bottom n = granny
firewords
yay jilli! and ty varumba
halo george
wd jilli
am still stuck
lol
tnx varumba
yeah, reckoned it must have, Kaytee!
yw dorens
halo, Jilli! lol!
I am so far from fireworks it's embarassing
can't be, Kaytee, there's not that many words!
you'll get there..... down to ten and going for dinner... bbl
know what helped me most, after I got stuck halfway? listing, try it!
George> It
it really does help to see what you hafta find!
eh, Kaytee?
George> it's very late and my brain is more concerned with whether to get out of bed and fetch more wine, or just enjoy the chat
ac 6/12?
correction : ac5/12
Sorry - laptop sliding around here, keyboard rearranges itself, lol
oh found it - sheer luck though
ac5/15 -- top card + brit thanks
I mean 5/12, duh
I've found that 90% of the words left to find by the time I go to Lickety are REALLY strange words
tx jili, but was ac5/12
yeah, lol but thx anyway for looking
a pleasure, I'm sure ;)
indeed, ktj!
not always, Kaytee, I tend to find the really odd ones and not notice the small, common ones, ha!
we all have our blindnesses ;)
with this puzzle you almost need to stand on your head to look at it to find words... LOL
yeah, I think that just might help somtimes, lol!
varumba, you say you're a dancer but not whether you are male or female ;)
George> I get that more on Chihuahua .. can kick myself sometimes for missing such obvious words
hi grandy
female
back
Chihuahua? A word game?
but i must say that i am now closing this door of my life.... i must say i was..... can't say it though ;)
i suppose even if i'm not living off it, i still am a dancer
there you go varumba
lol jili.... looking for another word game?
never stop dancing!
okay i am going home and finding my jack daniels
NO! I spend too much time here!
ballroom dancing requires a partner though, i never found mine.... and am done looking.... thank god for day dreams huh?
george -- we know a dancing partner for varumba, don't we!
Tomorrow (or later today!) I may regret this last glass of wine I've just poured myself .. but the kids were drinking since lunch time, so I'll probably still be in the best shape, lol
bye, jmc -- see you later
uh oh
what have i said....
lol bye all -- hate to leave such a fun party!
*poof*
eh, Jilli?
byeeeee nice meeting you
yeah, perhaps, lol!
lol @ varumba ... sounds logical to me!
deffo not me, ha, ha!!
never mind, varumba, I think george has gone to msn
oh, there you are!
eh? not on there
but Janet's just messaging me on yahoo!
Well, you know who I mean -- the big almost-winner
Has MSN improved? Last time I updated, it lost all my contacts so I gave up. Now I only have Live, which isn't the same really
oh laptops are great .. the battery life leaves much to be desired....
Well, I'm talking about Live, I guess
clues for the 2 va6's? pls
you need to let the battery run itself down regularly to kep its lifespan good
My laptop is plugged into the mains when I'm in bed - best of both worlds, lol
yeah, that is the same Kaytee
have that
we natter on there, Jilli and me and some of the other babblers
va6s -- one is empty, and the other is to make it so.
George> It doesn't seem the same - can't seem to get all the icons I used before. But I haven't tried much the last year or two, I'll admit. No longer have anyone to talk to
ty jilli
i have the one to empty... but not the empty one.. if that makes sense
really, varumba? I've been running my new one on house power -- guess I'd better not all the time, eh?
no, i've always plugged mine in, and my battery is worthless now
va + cons + picnic pest
everynight, let your lapto runs itself down on the battery
yeah it is, Kaytee, it's just the new version of it
and they are there, want me to show ya??
every night???
I rely on my daughter to run my battery down regularly .. when we're sitting in the lounge and she's catching up on her Gmail and Facebook
would be ideal
twice a week would be good i suppose
well I do not have a choice --- off I go to get the darn power cord.
hmmm. I'll unplug it now!
George> Are you offering training sessions? lol
Or soon
thinking pythonx... thinking... thinking i need my bed
yeah, why not
kaytee that is so funny... my grandgirls would do the same
Thanks .. how do we start
well I probably hafta be signed in there first, reckon that might help a bit? ha!
grandy> I only have a grand-puppy, no grand-kids :)
quel heure est-il chez vous, varumba?
oh, of course .. lemme see if I can remember how
right, send your sign in to the addy in my bio, Kay
minuit moins le quart!!!!!
ooh! definitely past your bedtime!
finially got the other va6 phew!
yessssss i know
but you'll get used to it...
just 4 words now....
2 more v.....
Can't find any addy, George
gogogo var!
i need ve4/7 and 5/16
oh I have Windows Messenger, not Live - it was Live that lost all my contacts
Latin for a blood vessel and pl
got the blood vessal one, tx
and the plural!
Not sure it will every sign in ... maybe I've left it dormant for too long *sigh*
good to speak latin languages sometimes ;)
tx jilli
now 1 c, 1 t.....
and take Latin in school
let me see
yep,. i wish i had done latin
hi, babblers
Hi welki
hellooooo
am a newbie
hi welki
welcome to the community, varumba. how're you liking the game so far?
she's hooked, welki
well, i'd say a lot since i'm so tired i have a headache, but still can't tear myself away till i finished...... and ty :D
George?
doesn't take very long .. think it took me all of 15 minutes, if that :)
ok, missing ta5/12
found it, lol
btw, varumba, you might be amused that "varoom" is a valid word here, lol!
sheer llucka gain.....
so missing 1 c word.... but there are so many, ican't figure out which one i am missing
ta + the last 3 letters of the kitchen tap
is it now? lmao
tx welki
use Lickety, varumba! Go to the bottom and use Bulk Add.
god, computer decided to have a freak out, had to reboot it!!
I'd rather just boot it!
wb george!
ta, Jilli, getting on msn
and i need ca5/16.... already got the poosite of uncanny
George> can't find any addy on your profile
at the very bottom, Kaytee, it's there
Won't see you there just now, george -- have things to do and people coming in an hour or so.
scroll down, down, down!!
oh yeah
the AOL one?
ca5/16 (the first one) is the Scottish tossed telephone pole thingy
don't know that word, lol... le'ts google it and see what comes up;)
yeah, Kaytee, that's the one!
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ty google
but it's not my sign in for msn
i've learned a new word
ca5/16 -- ca + straw***ry
so send yours to that and I'll add you on it
and finished my grid.... i can finally sleeeeeeeep
ty jilli, got it :D
George> it says I can't add that
YAY varumba!!! First fireworks!!!
Kaytee, you can't what?
I told you, that addy's not my sign in!
'twas very nice tomeet you all, i shall be back every day :D
I use a @hotmail address, not that one -- for msn
byeeeeeeeeee
so send your sign in to that address, then I'll add ya
A la prochâine, varumba!
ok
and I must leave too -- see y'all after the flip!
what's until next time, Jill?
oh, nm!
not me, I'll probably be snoring!
Trying Babble expert out...any tips babblers?
What's Babble Expert? I'm such a rank amateur I doubt I'd qualify, lol
right, got it and added ya!
it's a programme of some sort
thankee
for doing this puzzle, not sure how it works?
I don't have it, never seen it
think it's like a special babble browser!?
Welcome to all the new folk. Are you currently using the lickety link at bottom of page?
You can find Lickety's email there and request Babbble expert, yes it is a browser than combines babble with lickety clues to one page.
Quite the grid today folks....
jilly .. what do you need to know about expert?
(i don't know if lickety will keep expert going once the new babble is released)
(and it's not compatible with mac)
Oh, I seem to be working fine with it...it seems easler. Has anyone heard when the new babble comes out? And yes, I knew the Mac incompatibility.
kaytee, until you have expert, what you can do is load lickety's list in a new window and tile this screen (large) next to it (narrow) ... that way, you can toggle between both and see both at the same time
as george said, you can copy and paste your word list into lickety's to see what you're missing (paste into the first empty text box .. bulk add)
(and now i'll shut up :)
later, folks
See ya welki!!
Just popped back in for a mo. I'm an Expert devotee -- it's wonderful and puts everything on one page, plus it has the Lickety Add box where if you type one word it goes to both your Word List and to Lickety'slist in the right place, and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat. And there are links to morewords and a2z up at the top in Resources, plus several other features. Just email Lickety and ask for it -- it's free.
Any questions?
Wow -- did I scare everyone away?
No but thanks jilli, really liking it so far!!
Hope all our newbies haven't given up...it does seem like a rite of passage!!! LOL
I guess George and Kay left :(
They were heading for msn
so all that was for naught :(
hey ya'll
lol...oh well...it was pretty overwhelming at first for me...learning NBT, what the letter/number meant etc..used to be happy if i got 30+ words...
So bye-bye again!
See you later jilli!!
Well of any newbies are still around, they can click on my blue B icon for a basic guide.

hi ardilla
te
whoo hoo a greener!
what's a greener?
howdy everyone:) just here for a little bit to clue if needed;0
me too, crossy .. thanks for those links the other day
hi crossy
np welki;)
howdy ardilla
i'm missing some 6s if you'd like to share crossy. have ca, ca, no, re, re, va, va
i'm in new hampshire, visiting my goddaughter
ahh your missing another re6 for sure...
there is an av6
you are probably missing the second re 6/24
it is like the mon ey back one except for a diff vowel at the end
the re 6/24 i have is money back
domo arigato dr. re**** (reminds me of the song :)
haha got that right away thanks weiki
lol ... i'm so twisted (always associating things with song)
the third is if you take of the make up and try again you re**** yourself lol
i used to want to re**** myself, but as i got older, i realized that i've earned this mug
lol
like me,just go in style and grace,no sense fighting it
what's the points on the av6?
i was in a pretty bad auto accident years ago and had the opportunity to re**** ... i declined the surgeon's offer and everyone was put back the way it was (and still is .. only a little wrinklier)
av 6/33
oh my weiki.
everyone = everything
plus with the salt and pepper hair and the white patch in my beard and now new glasses,i look like i actually know what i am saying;)
ah got it. now just missing one 6. have av, ca, ca, no, re, re, re, va, va
<-- needs to grow a beard and wear glasses full time
i already have the salt and pepper hair ... given enough time, the beard will come *lol*
tis a 3rd ca you need
noe is buyer beware
one
one is i wont do it
i have one for i ca6 tell a lie, and the other a disclaimer-type thing
then you are missing the asian city
also the home of the football home of fame
ca+ cons+ 2200 pounds
2600?..can never remember anymore
2200 = ton
woohoo, only 4s left, looking good for listless (with quite a bit of help) :)
wait
been using metric too long now
i think it's just 2,000 pounds
2000 pounds = a ton .. sorry typohead
i should know *lol*
with just the states holding out with imperial mease,i do not get much chance to use it anymore
you don't sound too self-confident today weiki!
measure
sure i am, leslie ... confident and based in reality :)
<-- is from the states, knows all about u.s. units of measurement
beer will always be in pints and fish caught in pounds but other than that im all metric now lol
what is the point total today?
716
fireworks!
and believe it or not,most of the 4,s are actual words,not babblets
yaa for leslie!!!
i have to do conversions at work all the time ... linear and weight ... when i first came to canada, i cried in the meat aisle of the market because of the metric weight and currency exchange. i just couldn't figure out exactly what i was paying for two pork chops ... that i didn't know how much they weight
weighed
wtg leslie!
evening all
hi, dan
yes that's what made this list doable listless, a lot of real words
lol,we were pounds only here till 78 then went fully metric.i can remember the chaos welki
howdy dan
gah stupid volcano I never see
don't know what it's like in ontario, but here in the groceries, weights are displayed in both pounds and kilos
yea,that icelandic volcano always stumps me as well dan:))) lol
metric only welki
except on the actual packaging .. for instance, the sign will say $18.99/ kg or $7.99/lb .. but the package will only be in metric, so you don't know exactly how many pounds you're purchasing .. v. confusing
all you need to keep in the back of your mind is 1 kilo=2.2 pounds and the rest will come
luckily, i picked up on the conversions pretty quickly, so i do okay :)
firewords! ac4 zits was my last - thanks all cluers
hehe, had company in from california .. they weren't used to driving .. kph/mph
wtg dan :)
yaa for dan!!
brb
in retrospect, i probably should not have loaned them my car *lol*
hey all, teensy grid. how is it?
how are you?
it's actually a good one - no list needed, mostly
hey dan. that's good. because the apple computer doesn't run lickety, of course.
how are you and the family?
hi all
hey nrk!!!
hi all!
hi m9
hey m
ooh, nice monkey just found the 7
and why is always so hard for me to see my own nickname in the grid?
go monkey go!
back again, watching forrest gump
hey ardilla! how are you??? *many many hugs -- but NOT sharing virus germ!*
stupid is as stupid does
hi stid! Dan.. the new icon pic is precious!!
hi everyone!
i'm good, in new hampshire, visiting my goddaughter
ummm. good?
hey LBD
brb... ice cream calling
hey lbd
wonderful! nice to be home?
just leaving colorado yesterday after visiting hayden
hi stid, hi m9
missionaries just left. Dinner was fun
still going through culture shock
hi ardilla! are you enjoying your time off?
I bet ardilla!
yup
missionaries M?
hayden has gotten so big!
culture shock! i can imagine! rude americans and a lot of tall people!lol
you look beautiful ardilla!
yes Good.. they eat at our house a LOT.
but the fetal alcohol syndrome has really affected his development :(
evening all ;)
oh dear. lots of special handling for his education, but he's got a good parent to help him through it all.
oh ardilla, it's a sad story. But good that he's with his father!
hi pini!
oh ardilla, I am sorry to hear that.
hey pini
hiya stid ;)
he has a speech therapist once a week
but he is very affectionate
hopefully, it wont be too severe and he can "catch up" with his peers. keeping him in my t's and p's
well... knowing he has need of extra attention early on is good.
oh! NBT!
back in a few.
wtg stid!!!

down to 10. probably should lie down again. teaching while sick (and little to no voice) was not easy... BUT I did it and it was actually not a bad day.
I did wimp out one class period which was just a video today... since there were 4 other adults in the room I excused myself to my empty classroom and sat to work for a bit.
Stidmama, sorry to hear you are sick. Hope you feel better soon. I've taught while sick before too; no fun
* hope you feel better soon, stid *
fell better soon, stid
you need to get some "airborne" stid. keep the reserves up so you don't get really sick!
thanks all -- I wasn't complaining (for a change) just proud I managed it! And the sub was so kind, and gave me good pointers! AND told me some of the things I did right!
sending virtual chicken soup to stiddy
*feel
good to have an understanding sub!
mmmm. it soup...
well, down to 9. I think if I look pathetic enough tom would bring me some ice cream....

and thanks to you too, Jellen
Nice gift
Ca6/21 believe I accomplished the fe 4/7 of finishing grid in less than a half hour, but I did. Ev4/7 though most are already done, here's a story of clues. When I was younger I had very bad ac4/5 on my fa 4/8. All the kids in the na 4/6 teased me a lot. I just wanted to hide in a ca 4/8 and never come out. When my ac 4/5 disappeared years later, I wanted to re 6/30 all of those that teased me & get some kind of rev 5/20 on them. But I knew that if I av 6/33d all those that teased me, I'd be no better than them, so I ve 4/7ed that idea. I hope you took no4/4 of some of my clues and found some more words. I'm going to va6/30 my seat and take a break. I will be back later&wait with ba4/6d breath for others to get their fireworks. BBL
Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
does the glass frog have any special meaning, nrkii?
lbd, I don't know
A glass frog? One for holding flower stems; or a pretty trinket?
I am hoping some nice guy left it and it's a message (ha ha)
a pretty trinket, Nef
maybe someone thinks you can kiss it into a prince?
like a paperweight
if only that would work, lbd
i'm hoping for the romantic side of this mystery, nrkii
You know, I think that's pretty neat! I wouldn't mind a glass frog on my doorstep! ;-)
and if the sending is a toad, you can whack him on the head with the paperweight! lol
nanny
my little minpin gave me a petrified frog once. eeewww
Ooops! sorry. Off to the PB for me!
I am mystified... the boring scenario is that it was my neighbor, who I did a small favor for last week
hi dawg, looks like it's going to get chilly tonight!
well, ev4 if it was the neighbor, it's still a fun thing to ponder
the romantic side is that some nice guy (who hopefully is not a stalker seeing he knows where I live) left it in hopes of a kiss
it's been chilly all week up here, Jilly. I'm wearing fleece!
ty nef...didn't have that one
had to cover the plants the other night, it dropped down to 30°F
Ugh, it went up to 92 here today, and is at 80 still at 11PM
ty minver for the story...gave me some words
this is just WRONG
*putting hex on stalker*
ugh, nrkii. i'll take the chillier temps, thank you very much. we're actually having a fall this year. the trees are truning beautiful colors!
*turning*
welp, it's pillow time. see you all tomorrow!

anyone here shop at macy's a lot? or just shop a lot in general?
Hi Hurshy
oh, I do a bit and do a Macy's...why?
Herin!
Hello
i want to order a sleepshirt online, there's no size chart for it, it comes in small, medium, and large, and i don't know what to order. i'm usually like a size 10 ... 38" bust...
If you want looser for sleep, go for large, but medium should do you fine
Can you ask them what the sizing is?
i don't think i want it too loose, then it gets all twisted up. thanks jilly
Congrats on your firewqorks, Jilly. (I was off making the bed so DH could go to bed; he'd stripoped the bed today and it will be nice to crawl in clean sheets tonight!
Hi Nef.
hi herin! Hi hurshy!
Sweet Nef!! So he had a good day today!!
Is anyone here a doctor or nurse and can answer me this question of when does one find out one is pregnant with twins? (NOT Me either)
herin, we do ultrasounds at my clinic and we've seen twins at 7-8 weeks. However, it's possible to lose one that early too and so the pregnancy ends up as a singleton
I am...usually with first ultrasound around 6-8 weeks
herin, both Jilly and I are nurses. :-)
Wow. I guess my friend is just going to have to wait till that point. Twins run on all 3 sides of her family.
(I much prefer the first US at 9-12 weeks for that reason
Just glad it isn't you herin...lol
3 sides of her family???
Mum Dad and Partners side
well, and you know usn's miss things occasionally
I lost one at 14 weeks
:( Jilly
I had a gal come in for an ultrasound recently and swhe was pregnant with her 3rd set of twins in 4 pregnancies!
Wow Nef.
Well, I'll get to see her in heaven!! :)
Jilly, have you ever noticed how many nurses miscarry?
yeouch!! Had a family friend who had twins first and triplets second...there wasn't a third pregnancy!!
I have to run down to the baby store soon and get all the prices for my friends baby to be car seat. They don't have a car but I said to her what if you needed to use one
Gee... I wonder why? ;-)
It has crossed my mind, on the other hand, we were living on an Air Force base and about 14 women in our parish had miscarriages, I always wondered
Nurses have a higher than average number of miscarriages; research showed probably related to stress, heavy lifting, and no breaks
so if the ladies on the AF base didn't have a little stress, what else could it be?
My friend told me that she didn't need a car seat for the baby as they have no car. I told her what if you do need it for the odd occasion like a cab ride. I am such a mum
I actually wasn't working as a nurse at that time. Had a job directing music program at parish, but was helping to set up a Hospice Center there
herin; you are a very wise friend. She WILL need a car seat
YOu are herin...you should look for the kind that are car seat/baby seat combo...they can use it for more things
I got one from next door but I do need the innards for it
And it isn't an infant capsule either
well, since no one seems to need clues, I'm going to bow out and come back for flip...see you all later!!
herin, if you can get a carseat stroller combo that would be perfect
I think they have all that stuff
bye for now, Jilly
And I figure that this would be used as a stop gap method. I need to do all the pricing this arvo
Bye Jili
check this out, herin: http://www.nextag.com/stroller-and-car -seat-in-one/search-html
Thanks I will have a look at that today
There is 2 things I know about babies. They are loud and poopy
and soft and cuddly; very demanding and fill your heart wityh love! :-)
I know. And the new borns have new baby smell
yep. So your friend is having a baby; are you getting scared yet?
This one is due in October. SUPER excited Aunty
your sister?
No best friend
okay. How old is the couple?
30s
Offer to babysit while they sleep every so often. I don't think any expectant parents realize how little sleep they'll get once that baby is home
I will do that. I ahve already offered to cook and stuff
I am already in trouble for buying too much :D
line up some friends to bring in a hot supper each evening for 1-2 weeks once they're home. It's amazing how such little things can make such a huge difference
I think they are covered with all that lots of siblings on his side
At least the coffee shop is a short walk from their place so if they need a break I can visit and mind and know they are 10 min around the corner
ok. Grocery shopping the first 2 weeks (they can provide the $$; but you provide the grunt work
They know that I am up for lots of help. I helped him when he had a stroke a few years ago
he's had a stroke at that young an age? Yowsers!
vane
oops! sorry! <slinking back to the PB again>
Nef yes he did but he is ok
What caused his stroke?
Brain bleed
He was about 28 at the time.
aneurysm?
Yep
I'm glad he's doing okay now
Same. He is my bestest friend and like my big brother. AND I am still super excited about this baby
I don't blame you then.
Yep.
(awww my b.f is talking to one of my oldest friends on the phone)
:-)
It is nice when the boys get along.
And in the time he is on the phone I am nearly done
good for you!
Win win really
YAY, herin!!! WTG!!!!!
It is like here take the phone talk nerdy to each other
LOL!!! I can just see that too!
Why not saves passing messages back and forth
yep
Is there a list?
yep
Thanks now I can finish this
I'm back
