SA 6
sa 8
une and ruru -- amazing.
what are you folks doing ? Is there a beginning format... e.g.
I have 100
"already called."... it seems like a sprint at the beginning; does time enter into scoring in babble ?
still looking for the 3 that have the same ending...hmm
du 7 x 2
di, the flip format is throwing out the initial stats for the biggers words found...no real 'cluing' until after the first hour is traditional
no.. it's just fun to help others di
no, diane -- there's no rush.
<--- Im in a hurry though...lol
aha.... makes sense then :-))
st 7 and st 8
du9
players throwing out initial stats get a warm fuzzy feeling by finding and calling them before others...but it's not really a contest, just a fund thing to do...
I don't look for the long words at the beginning (they can grow out of short ones so I think it's a waste of tme) but lits like to do so -- to each his/her own.
* fun
*lots, not lits
du 9 what a word!
(jilli, im?)
I just do it to help dee

night jilli1
Happy babbling and/or chatting and *poof*
good morning, empty chat room!
Hallo ruby, I came just as everyone was leaving, so have been plugging away at another large grid!
Good morning, ruby and Sally.
hello sally, I'm happy to see you!
hello haz
One day to D-Day now for you!
And here is Haz, no doubt having walked the dog, polished the silver, prepared a five-course dinner for later, and done three loads of washing and ironing.
is that d as in dog?
Yes ruby.
AND I've just finished my latest novel.
we are pretty well-prepared, I think. The lawyer sent me her whole "brief"
amazing haz!
lol Haz. Mine is very short. It has three pages, marked the beginning, the middle and the end - as I was taught.
I am happy to have had breakfast and gotten clothes on....
Yup, always a good start to the day ruby.
I'll get this done in ten minutes then head off to give some advice on world peace.
sounds like a plan, haz
where do you get the energy?
Efficient time management is the key.
Ten minutes? You're slipping. Anyway, I thought that /I/ was the secret Ambassador and you were the axe murderer.
it's not the time that's the problem, it's the energy!
Oh, in the light of recent revelations, I'd say that FM is much more in the frame for any axe related incidents.
is she OK?
I obviously missed some vital part of the chog.
me, too
Has she been chopping trees or attacking her neighbours?
We were having a chat one morning when she revealed that her father had taught her how to chop wood for kindling for a fire. It started with a little hand thing, progressing up to a chain saw. You heard it here first.
Since that we've realised that any deforestation is probably due to her going mad with her axes and chain saws.
Never trust someone wielding a chain saw is my motto.
or, at least, stay inside
So she's been travelling in South America recently then.
Absolutely, Sally.
Yes, we can put global warming down to FM, all those rain forests...
But don't let her know I told you. I can trust on your discretion.
Absolutely. Rushes to phone book to look up FM's number in Billingshurst.
Should we warn the neighbours and have the road sealed off?
No, I think she should be okay. She's kept under discreet surveillance at all times.
Ah, I had heard there were quite a few helicopters in the area. Will warn my niece (in same village) to be on her guard though.
FM thinks the helicopters are on manoeuvres. Little does she know.
You would think the fact they were black and had no registration marks might be a clue.
You'd think that, wouldn't you?
World of her own.
She doesn't realise that her cleaner is really working for the authorities and that he's sent in to keep an eye on her.
He makes sure that the weapons are kept locked up. He's swallowed the key just to be sure.
Strangely enough, we have those round here (helicopters with no markings). Don't tell anyone, but it is rumoured that the SAS have their HQ round here. Pretty frightening when you see them hovering near you.
Presumably the window cleaner is also in on it?
we get a lot of hovering helicopters here for the errant "sportsmen" who either drown in the lake or get hung up in the cliffs
Yes, he's another one.
occasionally they land (the helicopters, not the sportsmen) in the field above the house.
I must say they've been very imaginative about hiding the CCTV cameras in the village. She hasn't a clue that she's being monitored. And her bird table is rigged up as well. Very ingenious.
You'll have to confuse them ruby by planting white flowers in an H formation.
good idea
lol Haz.
Her laptop has been nobbled as well I Imagine.
Poor FM. She doesn't realise that she's being used to train people in espionage techniques.
So really you're a plant to draw out information from her on Babble?
Don't worry, your secret is safe me with and ruby.
Yes. I told them I was very busy but when your country's security is at stake, you make time.
I know you'll say nothing and she'll never guess a thing.
Naturally, you are so noble to do this Haz, in your busy life, in between being the perfect wife.
Like I said, efficient time management is the key. If you can't fit in national security then it's a poor show.
I feel humbled by your genius Haz.
Are there men in white coats hanging about outside your house, Sally? There seems to be quite a crowd here.
Sorry, finding it difficult to type with this straight jacket on.
Mouth typing not your speciality?
Normally yes, but the duct tape is a nuisance.
Ruby is probably reporting us to Interpol.
in French, of course
tensy
whoops
She may be under surveillance herself. All those helicopters.
is that the time for tea?
close ruby. Add a vowel.
I wouldn't be surprised
Never a truer word spoken, Sally.
I had that, I was just monkeying around
Happy sigh. Just finished the C words.
any clues for the 9's? I dond't even have half yet
cess
I have one 9 so far. Hang on while I rummage.
as9 - those who go up
thank you, now I'll try to be good!
Yes, that's the one I have.
ruby is deep in the sh** at the moment!
that is very true, Sally
And don't forget what goes up also comes down.
had those, but thank you.
Thank you for those! and hello everyone!
hello lile
Have you found the two Loch monsters? One is very tidy (ne8) and the other is very sage (wi8).
Hi Lillecama.
I didn't have those yet, Haz. Thanks!
ness
Oh I had the very sage one (stupid!!** word) but hadn't noticed the tidy one. Naturally you would get that one first. ty
slinking away to the pb for some coffee and some tranquilizers......
I tried the wi8 in a spirit of adventure and was amazed when it was accepted.
ruby! wrong box again.
You're welcome, Lile.
so we see again - it's always worth trying
I invented a drink called the ne**ie, vodka, water, and a Tuscan pepper (long, light green), hanging over the side of the glass
I had noticed some expressions of grief about a word related to the sage word when I came on, so when I did the w words I did the same. Couldn't believe it was accepted.
Sounds good ruby. Personally, I would leave out the water and the pepper and just add frozen water.
I know. I don't mind words being invented when there isn't already an equivalent to describe something but when there's a perfectly good word already, why mangle the language?
I keep the vodka in the freezer
but the peppers hanging over the side look just like the monster
oh I see! Penny drops.
Then there's the monster who just WON'T wear its kilt. nu8.
lol! what a wonderful clue!
I have that one. Have also found the du7, when bills have to be paid.
Lile, there was a very funny cartoon series years ago starring the Family Ne**. We had monsters like Ferociousne** who showed various characteristics.
Don't remember that Haz. Sounds a bit Asterix-like.
I can't get out of the habit of thinking of Sportine** as being a monster in running gear.
It was when my girls were young and I watched along with them. It was very funny.
Needless to say, all the housework had been done and I'd advised the Prime Minister on policies before I took a break.
I'm sorry I missed it, Haz!. I had a couple of children's books - only two - about ne**ie. One about how he liked porridge cake. The children loved them (as did I)
that's very funny, haz, it's like Asterix's dog, Idee Fixe
I must see if I can google it to find out the proper name for it.
My favourite character (in English) is Getafix, the one with the magic potions.
that would be good! Then we can all catch up on lost childhood time :)
Go to youtube and you'll find the theme song (family ne**)
There is a du for which the clue might be a grey coloured monster, but you can also plural it in the most outrageous word ever and get a 9. Again, I tried it as a joke.
best word for me (sans help from you two geniuses): na7/32
there's a blushing monster too
re 7/32
Oh so there is! ty
That du9 looks mad.
Yes, I think so too Haz.
I;m still searching for the paying the bills du...
du 7/36
just got it, ty
You only need one more letter :-)
The du7 - when a pregnant monster is ready to give birth? Probably biologically completely wrong, but who's going to prove it?
now for the 9...
talk of being a large-animal vet!
He'd need his waders and plastic overalls for sure.
Queen Victoria would have regarded nu8 as being in8/50.
what's funny about all this is that for Americans, most of this won't make any se***
Let's hope it doesn't need attention to its (whoops!) mouth.
lovely clue, haz, the elegant
ty for the in8 Haz.
Thank you, ruby!
You're welcome, Sally.
nice one Haz, thanks!
No problem, Lile.
still hunting the du 9
yay, finally passed half
ha! ne6 - lots of monsters...
Find the du 7/36, which means being grey. Then plural it.
being grey... du... think, look, think... hmmm
ty, sally
I think we should have a field trip to the loch
Perhaps for once this is a word more used in UK than USA?
if I had a lot of money, I would have a mechanical ne**ie built for Lake Annecy. I think it would be saplendid here
splendid*
re9 is the last one - being reborn.
The "grey or mouse coloured" word has three letters, but you double the last letter when adding the monster.
It puts re in front of the word you were proud of finding, ruby.
found it. ty sally. I didn't know that word.
ooh, ty haz, didn't think of that. I guess we should "re" everything
I don't think anyone knew it before today Lille!
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, Sally, is to work that du9 into conversation today.
thumper is ready for his apero! see you later, ladies
lol! sally
now hunting ruby's na7...
Ah! I might be able to manage the singular. I managed myriapod the other day.
Bye ruby.
bye ruby
ruby is married to a rabbit? I never realised.
hahah
*poof*
I have taken on a self-imposed task, Lille, of using a Babble word in conversation every day. (A word unique to Babble and not in "my" normal usage, that is)
wow - now there's a Babble devotee
Got ruby's na 7 now, the "birth" was a heavy hint :-) And tralala, have added the re in front and now have all the 9s
First you have to find the non-normal word - then you have to find people to talk to - then you have to steer the conversation so you can you the word! impressive
You mean you don't constantly chat about etuis Lille?
I find it very easy to find a non-normal word Lille. It says something about either my limited vocabulary or Babble's odd one. Take your pick.
Well, this babble devotee is going to take a quick break. It never stops around here. That Obama will be on the phone soon looking for advice. See you later!
not every day sally! I can use 'seen' very often. :)
ttfn
bye Haz! save the world!
na, na, na, na, frown, na, na, na deeper frown....
Is this a little song, lille?
could be the start of a long one!
does this na have to do with smell somewhere along the line?
Well that isn't the meaning, but if you add the smell to the na you are there.
It's to do with birth.
Did you get it Lille?
sorry bout that - I was just on the phone.
OK, I was worried you had been dragged off screaming.
well - nearly. I was saved by the phone. The smell plus na helped. So now I am proud owner of na7 and 9 :)
So you have all three 9s now?
ooo yes, indeed I do! Hadn't even noticed. 9's all greyed :)
I must take my leave, Sally. Son is coming home from school sick... must prepare to be nurse...
OK, nice to talk to you. Still have 80 to find but may give it a break and come back later.
Hope son is OK :-)
thanks for all the help and see you later. I have 176 still to find. Son is low on energy - has been for a while....
thank you Sally! byee! (wave)
morning all
Good morning Sprite and anyone else around
hello lyn :) xxx How is life today?
Busy, nice now that it is all winding down. How is life treating you?
body is bad but morale is good. Also a busy day and only partially done. And I think I deserve a nice babble break :)
This one seems pretty straight forward so should be 'nice'. Sorry to hear your body is playing up again, hope it is brief
I take it philosophically atm. Made some big changes in my life and some very emotional decisions. Guess I shouldn't be surprised the body needs some time to adapt, right? Things will settle soon.
I am sure they will...especially as the decisions were the right ones (I think I know what you are talking about)
Densa is in the grid - always reminds me of Lori
I think you do :) Yes they were the right ones. LOL yes, Densa! haven't seen Lori around lately though.
I have seen her a few times over the last couple of weeks - not nearly enough though
glad she is still playing. Hope to run into her soon.
smoothly past the halfway mark, always a good sign.
TY for your list yesterday by the way. Looks like Lickety is there today, though I shouldn't need it
my pleasure. Actually it was VolleymomDee who made the list initially, but it wasn't complete. Grannyrose did the Ss and I did the Ts and Ws, and then I thought I'd better collect it all.
so looking forward to my love coming home today! He had to be away for his work for a couple of days. Home is not the same without him for sure.
a spouse, a child, a dog - I think the absence of any 'being' makes a home seem empty or odd. We replace our family's dog/s fairly quickly - not sure that a spouse or child can be replaced so easily!
not by me anyway, grin. Yes, I think you are right. Once we made a place for a person or animal in our home and life, that place is noticeably empty without them.
Morning all you folks in Europe and Australia
good day to you, bichon
morning Bichon
how can there be a comparative of the nu 4/6
I suppose it would be like dark****
found a new word for me, ec7. Means the shedding or casting off of an outer coat or integument by snakes, crustaceans, etc.
well, bichon, if you and I were standing together and you would wear a bikini and I would only wear a slip, I would be nu5 th4 you.
It's getting darker earlier now, but how could some one be more nu**
it's as bad as saying "more unique" another one that makes me crazy
sorry, I thought you were talking about the nu8
but enable wouldn't be ashamed to list 'pregnanter'
hi Espritd
morning all. I think nu5 has to do with color tones, maybe
oh yes, djean! Very irritating.
hi Trif *hugsss*
morning Trif
hiyas. I am starting to suspect dr. god is actually mavis beacon
why is th4??
Mavis Beacon?
she is a lady in the states who sells software to teach one how to type, and emphasizes practice, practice, practice
never heard of mavis
because of the 2 larger grids in a row?
yop
I remember the week of really large grids 400 & 500s - must have been 5 days of them at least
that is for me, I thought... because big babble grids are the only way I do take long breaks.
hard though - I kept entering the same words over and over yesterday, instead of seeing new ones. bummer
i will never understand how our favorite volcano can also take the plural. there are more than one?
et 4/4 is a lab burner
it wouldn't be valid if the only meaning was the volcano
it is not a volano
nor a volcano
oh, seriously? I checked the definition thingie, but I guess I didn't see that. my bad
good morning babble friends
morning Carlee
how is everyone today?
morning carlee! secondo is back to school today -- anxious to see how it goes, there has been some "mean girl" backlash already. A bunch of girls saying she made it all up for attention. as if!!!!
oh good grief....
hi carlee :)
I know, right? Teenage girls are a barrel of fun....
we are having a woman come in to talk to our pathfinders and in the spring guides...about bullying
vicious bunch, sometimes
can primo go in all big and strong and knock some heads around...or at least pretend to be prepared to do so?
oh, excellent! our kids were just shown a program called "Rachels challenge" in school ,and it was SO GOOD!!! Rachel was the first girl killed in the Columbine shootings, and her parents, bless them, put this program together to combat bullying.
OH, carlee, you have no idea how funny that is! Primo is seventeen years old, taller than me by about an inch, and has yet to weigh 120 pounds in his life! he could not knock over an empty easel
my son's rep is such that everyone knows if they ever did anything to PO my daughter....they'd get their head's kicked in ( he NEVER started a fight...but b/c of rep on football field..in hockey and rugby.....and..if anyon ever started anything with him..he finisheed it )
but he is really a tender heart inside..but NO ONE messes with his baby sister ( at 6'1" 200 lb and not a scrap of fat on him )
perhaps he could go 'on loan' to Trifs
yes, that might work!
"beware my giant canadian!!!" hm.......
u wanna borrow him trifs? there pics of him on my fb page..there an album...kids1 and kids 2 one is him..one is her
lynxxx...do u have fb?....
I will assume I could tell them apart easily, yes....
send a photo, Secondo can show it around & say he is her Canadian boyfriend!
uh...yes...close cropped hair would be my son....the long blond is my daughter
no Carlee - too much hassle for me
just save a pic
oh dammit lynxxx...
LOL - secondo has a BF, smaller than primo! just took a look carlee - jesus, what does it cost you to feed that boy? He's HUGE!
we blame it on the oatmeal...he ate lots and lots of oatmeal
he's a grazer....he doesnt eat big meals..and thankfully he loves pbandj
maybe boys in canada are like goldfish? they just grow as big as their tanks, and since you have all that room....
what, by the loaf? LOL
lol
just about
anyway, he looks fit and strong and healthy, and he must be a dab ha4 around the house, that's for sure!
my grandpa was 6'3 and close to 300 pounds...my sons dad is only 5'9 but obviously took after my family
anyway I'm off to bed, see you all later....xxx
nite nite lynxxx
its funy...my son just started at canadian tire ( like lowes down there)
have a lovely trip to the land of nod, lynsss
lynxxx
night lyn, sweet dreams
whoo! employee discount here we come!
he is in pumbing, electrical and paint...my mum and i were laughing last night that they are going to have an influx of girls wanting plumbin gnad electtrcla supplies
is there really a nu8?
no idea...dont have lickety up
carlee, is your mil still around?
nope....not for ages...i mean yes...she is around.but i hear nothing from her...she has nothing to do witht he kids...they dont like her
pour quoi?
I just got an email saying mine is quite ill now, and probably at the end of her journey....I am unsure how exactly to proceed
did u have a good relation with her ever/...and does she remember your kids?
I need to be a support for my children, and I would like to be at any services held, out of respect for the position she held.
we did have a good relationship, as much as was possible - she was a TOUGH one. but oh,she loved the kids! but the idea of all travelling together - ugh
and if u had good relations with her durin gyour marriage..then go out of respect for that....
why must u all travel together?
we musn't, but I somehow imagine that is how it will all come together. I guess I could sneak over on my own, but that rather leaves the kids without my supprot
well... looking from outside in..and being in a sim position as u should this happen
all fresh and everything
i would let my kids be with dad...travel with dad..etc...
and I would travel on my own to each of the particular events
and "be there..and available..."
I agree with that. they will be with him,yes of course, but they won't get any support from him, and if I am in the room they just gravitate to me and leave him alone.
hi, all. there is an nu8, trifoso...
for my kids...and also it shows u are being respectful.....but also demonstrates u are respectful to ur m in l whilst no longer being a part of the family
found nu8, act of being naked :)
hi angel, and thanks!
just tell them..this is their dad's mum... and he needs them
act may not be the right word tho,
oh, there it is! thanks!
hi angel, wanna share?
regardless how they feel.....dad needs the love of his kids right now
thank you carlee- I really appreciate your input in this. Mile in my moccassins, as they say
The state of being naked.
right Molly
d'oh!
the volcano and the goose are both here today
Boom! Honk!

car, are you still here?
the outlandish companion....we ( my mum and I) have all the diana gabaldons between the 2 of us except that one....
I just recieved Grisham's newest book and the new one by Hoda Kotb
oh I LOVE gabaldon!
so do i sprite
I think I am going to order Grisham's newest book..
have u seen the graphic novel yet that she did...first 1/2 of first book from another character's perspective
is called exiled
oh! No I didn't, sounds wonderful.
that is a musthave then for me
its interesting....
a few twsts we didnt know about in first book
Annie, I have read all of his books and own most of them
from which char's perspective is it?
sorry called...the exile
its told from murtaugh's point of view
Nono, I also read all Grisham;s books too..own about 4 of them...love his books
okay -- have je 4,9, je 5, 20 and je 6, 33 - what am I missing please?
oh! Oh that is really great. He is interesting. Thanks carlee.
so do I, even the ones that are different like "Playing for Pizza" that one was rather cute
LOL Trif! That is EXACTLY what I have too! Go Figure!
Nono, I like his nonfiction even better...I will google Hoda Kotb later, never heard of him/her
you are missing je7/48
oh hey car - just got a lovely email from the wasband, giving me advice about OUR mom...what a prince
Annie she is a news person, on the last hour of the Today show with Kathy Lee
How absolutely kind of him.....
( which car are u talking to trifs?)
how nice of him to want to help
the book is titles "How I survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cance and Kathie Lee"
geesh bad typing.... Cancer not Cance
whoops sorry carlee - the one I am related to. and he didn't want to "help" he wanted to let me know some things he thought we should be addressing that we aren't.
Cance almost sounds nice, lol
Nono, maybe I will get Kotb's book too...
How absolutely kind of him....
il est le plus de con
cance sounds better...not as ominous
oh..how lovely...( just curious as we were discussing "mom" earlier..i didnt mean to pry)
that's probably wrong, sorry une
true, very true
Could you pass that email onto me...seeing that i LIVE with her and have FIRST HA$ knowledge of the situation and he DOES NOT!!!!
its fine carlee - at this point you pretty much are family
hahaha...okie dokie hun
it's all good car, and I already addressed it. no worries!
Welcome to the family Carlee...here is your name badge and medication!!!!
car....apparently i am shippin gmy son down to play the role of "primo" to deal with secondo's mean girl issue
the monster of the loch ending is great today!
lololol
now...do I have car on my fb????
if you have me, she is easy to find
its so hard to keep track of who is who between here and fb
I know!!! I put my babble name under my real name on FB, just for that very purpose
ok....who is it i am looking for under ur friends trifs to get car?
"hander" is so a word! as in "she pitches very well,for a left hander"
Carlee...I am actually not on FB.
What is this "mean girl" issue?
I concur, Trif.
yeesh... another non fb'er
oh, carp thats right,I forgot! sorry carlee
Oh Carlee...you don't even know. A story for another time.
gretchen and bunch of the other girls are saying secondo made it all up to get attention. surprising, coming from gretchen, but I suppose she is parroting the mom, who cannot, will not BELIEVE such a thing could happen in her fashionable neighborhood
WHAT!?!?!?! How does one make up a bleeding cut and schrapnel?
it's fine. secondo and I know what happened, and that is all that matters. she has a champion in her corner, in Hallie, and that is all she needs.
i need breakie..and coffee....afk
Just let it all die down for a while, Trif. You know what happened and so does Secondo. You filed the report and what happens, happens.
amy wants to believe that one of the girls was running by and hit secondo by accident with her ring, or something like that. Secondo feels that if someone's hand hit her in the head, she would have felt that. and since when do rings leave fragments?
Anyone have a clue for one of the words in the last column, n
oooh, carlee, upload me a cup please!
Did you get the other J yet?
Hawai'ian goose!!!!!
nope. and trents, the hawaiian goose comes from that n
one is the hawaiian goose, ne4
but now I have the old jean nate jingle stuck in my head...fun!
je4/7 extend the 4 with an insect
ty!
What were the stats again?
TY Nono!!!!!
Does NBT include the word stat tiles?
got it
that would be NBS trents for no blank stats
the other one is ne8, being tidy

je7/48 ends in a picnic pest

Hi, Eva - you look beautiful! lovely dress and the photo with the little girl is adorable
Those are wonderful photos. Especially the close up. I love the way you tied fall colors into your theme. And I love what you wore in your hair.
many years of happiness to you both
heh, thats my niece -- she was the star of the show. ;)
Lovely, EvaN and at least we know you had the dress on. The close up one might make us wonder....
cutie
Oh they are beautifu photos EvaN, thank you! You look so lovely.
You both look very happy. Congratulations and may your happiness grow and flourish.
his mom is getting all the disposable cameras developed, so i cant wait to see those...those are usually some of the funniest.
and was the weather kind to you on the day?
As I recall, the weather around here was picture perfect that day.
the weather was GORGEOUS. friggin beautiful!
congrats Mrs. Foster.
thankyou, thankyou!
Have you got your new signature all practised?
heh, working on it. gotta go through the official channels to get the name changed...
Changing your name on everything is a pain. First is social security card.
Eva, the photos are wonderful. You both look spectacularly happy. Continued happiness to both of you. :-)
was called away but just looked at your pics. gorgeous dress! and love the fall touches
yaaa for eva!!! mrs F!
yeah if i could go back i wouldn't bother changing my name.
Hello, hurshy.
hello, o queen!
How are you?
i am ok at the moment
im looking forward to having a last name people can spell and pronounce...hehe
Good. Are you enjoying another big grid?
ah, well, if it is an improvement, that's different, i suppose. one of my sisters went to a very hard married name and i always said if they wanted the same name they should have used our family's name!
yes, enjoying the grid.
i have been trying to find a medicine that will be helpful with my depressive tendencies and i suppose that will be good when i find it but the trying them out stage is hard. right now i'm between and need to go get the next prescription.
besides which i'm applying to other jobs which is stressful and scary.
It seems to be an ongoing problem for you, doesn't it? It's a case of trial and error, I suppose, but going through trials and errors when you're already feeling low isn't easy, I'm sure.
yes, the messing with the brain chemistry is a rough phase. you see, i'd been on one drug for a number of years and then finally realized that it wasn't really doing anything, so then i decided to try new ones.
Is it the process of applying that's scary or the fear that you might either be rejected or catapulted into another job that you don't like?
process and fear that i might end up in another job that i don't like. i'm ok with rejection, since i'm not applying to anything that seems all that thrilling anyway.
Back again, Babble froze up on me as it is wont to do on big grids.
I wish I could give you the gift of optimism and adventure so that change becomes a positive thing.
ah, even queens have not that power...
greetings, FM
I'm not saying that I possess the gift in full abundance myself, I just wish I could pass it on.
Are there no openings to jobs hursh that would excite you?
there might be, FM, but i would need to start in a new track to do that, and i cannot afford to right now. someday when my husband gets a real job, after he finishes his PhD, then i can try more things.
Ah OK.
meanwhile i am very impressed with myself for finding all the C's.
I'm impressed as well.
wtg :)
5 more words will get me to 90%... is there a list today?
Ty lickety TY!
Yes lickety is up today.
There certainly is.
well that's good to know for the last 10% :)
I can't imagine how it was yesterday 403 words and no list. I didn't even have time to start.
it was fine, people put lists in their profiles.
It was a good grid and doable with profile lists, though slower.
Good ole' Babble teamwork.
old-fashioned babble teamwork? sounds like the good old days. :)
how was the wedding eva?
Cue memories of the olden days when lists were for shopping trips and the custard jacuzzi ran constantly.
ahhh.... custard and champers...
rru, it was quite wonderful. :)
lol HAz and Hi ruru.
ec7?
aha, i need this word, i have no EC's.
EvaN posted a few pic links earlier ruru, they are so lovely.
ec7 - ec plus 24 hours minus the vowel, then a distress signal with a different vowel in the middle.
what a fine clue!
Sorry, it's not an easy word to clue. It's a plural for a singular not in the grid. Just to further muddy waters.
Oh good, it worked!
ty haz. clue was great.
Relief!
ty haz
thank you for the great clue
You're welcome.
woot! i have hit 30 to go.
go hurshy go!
9 left. stuck on the du's. I have that i owe.
Standing by with trumpets and rattles.
Haz wins the "Cluer Of The Day" award for that ec clue. Thanks Haz.
an6?
Thanks, Molly. What's my prize or is the glory enough?
an6 - adds another consonant into the leaning an5/10
Name your prize Haz. Cross is paying for it. : P
8
du6 rhymes with a person who lies out to get tan ? and pl
ah, forgot about that word, thanks has
haz!
no, NOT and pl on the du6.
but, change the ending to the loch monster and get a 7 that way, and then pl THAT for a 9.
6
ty hurshy
5
what's the other as7/32 besides the pl of the 6/21?
dont have it hurshy
as7 = first three letters as with the going up words, then add a plentiful supply of the letter s.
du7 the first - the quality of being ready to return to the library
ty haz
lol hursh, nice clue.
have all the du's now thanks again hurshy. 4 left
You're welcome.
du7 the last - superlative to match the du6 comparative. oh oh well i guess you had that.
The loch entity surely does get used a lot today.
glad you liked it :)
Do you remember the cartoon - The Family Ne**, FM?
and how about the en7?
ty Haz. 3
nevermind, i pulled a peri
Very vaguely Haz, how long ago was it?
Goodness, it must have been in the nineties, I think. It was sweet, set in Scotland, of course, with the premise that there was more than one monster, each showing different characteristics.
du 9 clue please
2
du to collect money, loch **** monster, plural.
honestly, sometimes i feel so stupid, i'm expecting words to be weird and they aren't, and you find me trying things like natenda.
ty....tough one there
I remember the Family N***!
Hooray!
oh good, ata is here!
now i can do
name that proper noun! yoda, anikin, obi wan, etc
Hey Ata!!
:D
i was afraid to do it before lest haz not get it - but let's see if she does!
I know Iknow!
Jedi!
Even Haz would know that ....
Jedi?
hi hurshy - miss that game
ding ding ding!
see!
well we can play more
wtg Haz, improving you are :)
*smug*
name that proper noun! the raggedy boy
name that proper noun! A volcano! actually don't .... LOL
sneaky ata.

Congrats mixi
Well done, mixi!

How old is your granddaughter, cybernan?
oooh, i have to get to lunch, don't i? good thing i just finished. ttfn all.
do you want to know what nice things we had at KWT today>
Well done, hurshy and enjoy lunch1
Congrats and byeee hurshy!
Yes, do tell, Ata.
Do tell Ata
*thinks* 2 trays of doughnuts, 3 trays of home-made cupcakes of varying type, 5 boxes of bite-size cornflake crisps / shortbreads etc, and a box of rice krispie chocoltae things
sorry had to take gd upstairs to mom for nursing -- she is 4 months old, haz
and I mean proper sized trays! not little trays
lol and there was me thinking you were going to tell about some wonderful thing of nature!
4 months = ready for cuddles and lots of grins?
I thought we were going to hear about the wonderment of marine life.
yes -- and lots of bouncing!
noooooo lol
mmm rice krispie squares....
trust the mention of food to bring crossy out of the woodwork.
Hello, All :-)
Hello, zooz.
howdy zooz
Hey zooz!
hi crossy, hi zooz!
howdy ata
So Ata how come so much yumminess? Someones birthday?
raising money for breast cancer support
You really made yourself suffer for the cause, didn't you?
speaking of cancer ata,please read my profile and think of joining our team
Oh excellent reason.
can anyone help me with the DE7/40
I was part of the original team Crossy
de 7 come down from the mountaintop, philip
de7/40 - a word meaning to come down
so you are already on the babble team? good stuff
thats the 7/36 or is it a saynonym of
it's even in my profile
No, it's the verb relating to the de7/36 which describes the act.
it's a verb
good girl;)
Just change the final letter, philip.
i am just going to be a pest till i get 100 babblers on the team:)
It's the flag day in our town for the cancer charity I'm involved with. I was reading the permission the other day and there are all sorts of rules and regulations. You're not allowed to fix a pole to the collecting box in order to reach an upper window or the top deck of a double decker bus!
goodness!
we do not have much of an issue with double deckers here'
surprised they've made their way to NI too :P
I quote 'No collector shall use a box or other receptacle at the end of a pole intended to reach upper windows or the roofs of conveyances.
tnx got it kept overlooking it
Didn't you know that a local firm makes London buses?
Google Wrightbus - they employ over 900 people and make buses for all over the world.
Back in 5.
nooo!
They do test runs with them so it's not unusual to see a bus with all different sorts of livery on them.
Years ago they used to bring the chassis of the bus over from England and would drive them from the ferry, just the driver, a seat and a steering wheel.
the upper deck of those are all open air and not enclosed?
They used to wrap up warm for the winter...
No, most upper decks are enclosed, it's only specialised buses for tour operators that are open.
ahh
But seriously, Wrightbus have the contract to make the new Routemaster bus for London.
i was thinking one would make a nice camper if you converted it a bit
a nice moblie ski chalet
hello, back
165 words this very distracted AM
Hello, ruby.
*thanks to haz and sally*
Hello, Ruby.
{{zzoozz}}
there seems to be a lot of plurals in this grid..lol
((ruby))
((ruby))
i seem to have a stutter
She means thanks to haz and Sally that she got the words,NOT that we distracted her.
Hey ruby!
Are you sure, Haz :-)
Because we've never been known to distract anyone. Never.
hahah, haz, that's what I meant!!
hello FM
so many ups and downs this morning
hi Babblers!
i am never a distraction,,,crossy streaks the chog...fwappa....fwappa....FWAPPA!
allo aloy
howdy aloy
Hello, Aloy!
Hello, Aloy :-)
Did someone mention my name? The little red button just lit up on my desk.
closing my eyes....
Greetings Aloy!!
I was making public my appreciation
lol, Sally
Indeed, Sally. I was just pleading innocence over ever distracting anyone from finding words.
(-: the gang's all here.
Good heavens, Haz. Perish the thought.
'twas a hard orning, aches and pain-wi**
We think as one.
Ah hah Haz and Sally, they have returned to the scene of the crime together, I want to talk to you two!
morning, that is
heloooo everyone
hello peri
Hello, peri.
liking this grid so far, found 5 of the 8's myself
Morning peri :)
Hello, Peri :-)
peri!..guess i best get dressed again...
<innocent> Us, FM? </innocent>
hi peri
we had a lot of fun with the monster
I think we're in for a telling off, Sally. I'm a bit psychic.
Is it the chic bit?
just looked..300 words..jesus wept....
I just happened to be browing through the log looking for some clues and I came across some bismirchment
If we are, someone has been snitching on us Haz.
wasn't me, I didn't do it
Who mentioned logs FM? Certainly not us!
peri.. fellow soupaholic.. I made a tortellini soup last night that hit the spot, spinach, tomatoes, garlic.. yumm
Besmirchment? Who would dare to question your fine qualities, FM?
psychic: a well-put-together crazy person
lol ruby.
sounds delish, Aloy, any leftovers?
No good trying to deny it. That sounds very tasty Aloy.
psychic sidekick - crazy person's partner.
LOL ruby
yes, made a big pot >>>>>>>> peri
have a martini and then try to say that, haz
I wilal be right over Aloy
Haz led me astray, FM. *Whimpers*
I'm on the next flight, aloy
will even
*pfft*
yay.. a soup party
I can't lead anybody astray. I'm a good influence.
I'll bring the cocktails (my area of expertise *she says*)
I'm def a bad influence
who did this evil besmirchment i hear of?
cocktails hour (or more) to start
and the gardener brought me a bottle of homemade pine liqueur.....
Me, I'm a Pollyanna of purity and delight.
pine liqueur?
*chin wibble* Haz and Sally.
what is pine liqueur?
we believe you ..... not!
That's what my mother thought anyway.
I never heard of it either, but it's delish - sweet and piney
booze made out of pine?? good lord,kill that cough and get hammered all at once;)
new to me.. must investigate
haha, crossy
it may just be a local specialty like genepi
lol crossy
You're sure it's for drinking and not for scouring?
You could always double it up as disinfectant.
I like the smell of pine, not sure I would like the taste, but willing to try
or gargle
Aloy you look so different today
multiple uses
mmm truck full of bacon...
I do? thought I had changed crossy's bacon truck
like gin, also a good disinfectant
this stuff would be a bit sticky....
Ah it is not showing up and I can't open icons today.
that would explain why crossy is drooling again :)
np.. feeling fortunate as hubby and company are down in the kitchen preparing green chili eggs whilst I babble (-:
I changed mine to a new pic of Hobbit, but its squashed a bit :(
I can't believe there are this many s words
I suppose if crossy streaks that means he wraps himself in bacon.
LOL!
eeewwwww
eek, the image that evokes.. lol
I AM THE GOD OF BACON!! ALL LOOK MUPON ME AND DESPAIR! YOUR ARTERIES ARE MINE!
lol
Quick, someone find crossy's pills.
the bacon truck must have reached crossy.. he is o'd ing
You've got the strait-jacket, Sally.
eep! i think i just vapour locked! must eat more salt to raise that blood pressure to ram it all through those skinny arteries
I think we're having a bacon-fat meltdown
I'm just struggling to get it off.
Put a nice bowl of lettice infront of him that will shock him out of it.
Poor Sally, she's no Houdini.
lol,fm,i think i am ready to graze for a bit
The ties are at the back, that's the trouble.
has anybody seen the wonderful Houdini movie with Catherine Zeta-Jones
Afternoon Babblers!
movies, my life
Hello, red.
Hello, Red.
I haven't, ruby.
hello red' be prepared, this is a rowdy group
hi returtle
howdy red
'fraid not ruby. Hi red.
I don't know the correct name, will have to look it up but it's set in Edinburgh
Hi red.
be advised red that i am in a straight jacket munching a bowl of lettuce
Guy Pearce is the male lead -- wonderful
Rowdy? Us?
bbs
am typing this with my nose
*red I meant
I am glad to have another big grid today...I admit.
I love lettuce. the butter lettuce is the best.
still have re words on the brain from yesterday, lol
no work today red?
am a Romaine fan
No work today. not til friday. I work 3 days a week.
butter lettuce with avocado, blue cheese and croutons
bliss
we also prefer romaine
I need the other 4 days off for recovery.
hawaiian goose again.. honk
And en5. Boring.
And mountain.
thanks Haz.
hit me with a mahi-mahi
FM, did you find myriapod the other day?
speaking of boring, en5
ROmaine is alright. Usually I do a spinach salad, but the butter was recently on a sale...
and another fish slap
lol, Haz.. thought you meant the other en5
I'm still obsessed with the loch monster ending. re7/32, a monster with communist leanings.
Oh yes, the genus for millipedes and centepedes?
aack, that is the one I am on now, Haz.. looking
OK, that was an LOL, haz! thank you
Oh I thought that was an embarrassed monster because he wasn;t wearing his kilt?
Well, possibly. nu8 might lead to re7.
excellent clue, tyvm
that would be the nu8 :)
Yes, I managed to drop it into conversation in a nonchalant but entirely unconvincing way.
only if the sun is shining
hello welki
Hello, welki.
Good for you girl, how did you work it in?
I just took off my clothes, but noone noticed....:(
I asked a keen gardener if she had many problems with them.
you have to turn the webcam on first ruby.
lol, ruby! you are too modest
*grin* did you get a blank look in return?
it would crash all the systems
Watch that the men in the helicopters don't have their binoculars trained on the house, ruby.
hello all - could I have a clue for the en7 please
Yes, FM, I did!!
they would fall out of the sky
hello ursh
oh dear, I have to try and write a sypathetic and considerate email. this could be difficult
LOL RUby!
en7 - first three letters of to go in, then plural donkeys, leaving out an s.
Sally - your next challenge is to use the re9/60 tomorrow and report back.
Sympathetic and considerate are your middle names, Ata.
tx haz got it
Well done, ursh.
mmm, but Haz has also set me the challenge of using the du 9/66.
mmmm absolutely
ty, again, haz
The re9/60 might be better.
You're welcome, ruby.
this has been fun but if I don't make dinner there might be a dog/man rebellion.....
hi all
Might. Why not experiment?
*covers eyes modestly*
Hello, jmc.
Bye then ruby
hello jmc, how are you surviving post election?
hi and bye jmc
re 9, a clue please
back later
haven't found the nu8
eh red I did my part and I move on
the state of being naked
does anybody know who won the governor's race in NY?
bye ruby. Have my Italian class tonight so won't be back in the chog later.
hi jmc
bye ruby
no more phone te**ing?
nu8 - descriptive of one without clothes. Queen Victoria would find it in8/50
It was no contest ruby, Cuomo
Hi jmc
i thought i typed that but apparently dropped a letter
ty
re 9?
thank you Bichon, I was afraid that, somehow, crazy Carl could win.....
no but many other crazies did ruby
re9 being reborn
re9 - descriptive of rebirth. it ends in a nice smell.
There are some sane people in NY and in CT. Linda McMahon the wrestling moguless lost
stayed up most of the night watching election returns.. still some undecided, some will def. be recounts
uh oh, I'll tune in later
Florida is going down....but thats not really news.
Perry of Texas for example
Sink conceded to Scott this morning Aloy.
re, first letters of the city near Pompeii, a pleasing aroma.
coming from Miami, I can fairly say "Florida always goes down" Rude ruby!!!
ah, rats.. ty red.. and Amendment 4 went down.. did Amendment 8 pass?
sorry
It may be true Ruby.
naples?
Very good!
I know the re 9 word but I can't spell it
dogs are grumpy, rabbit is thumping
*poof*
If you have the first three letters, add the word meaning the climb up.
haz's clue works bichon
I believe Amendment 8 did not pass, which is a good thing....let me double check.
no i, bichon
so it does mean rebirth. . . .
yup, got it. ty Ha, but don't get the Italian city
The Italian city is Naples, first two letters, then the aroma.
see my cleverness at 11:31 bichon
Yes, Aloy Amendment 8 did not pass. thank goodness, can you imagine how big some of those classes would have gotten?
Naples is a nasty city
We have no governor yet, may be weeks. The city of Bridgport ran out of ballots so they had to print them up and delay the poll closing for 2 hours
thank goodness! yes, red.. I thought that was a sneaky ploy, and I'm so relieved it did not pass.. wish Amend. 4 had passed tho
'See Naples and die' used to be a saying.
from food poisoning?
yes me too. I was all for it. Also wish Rock Scott had not won for Governor, he is a snake int he grass.
Fever, I think. Let me check.
you would die from the filth
but to be fair it was many years ago i was there so maybe it is a lovely town now
ah well.. big money against that one.. what do you expect
yes. It is unfortunate, as he really is implicated strongly in medicare/Medicaid Fraud...
It still has the reputation for heavy traffic and general chaos but somewhere at the back of my mind there's a disease associated with it.
it's deadly enough trying to cross roads there
take off the re and get another word - morning all
Hello, hootowl.
finally looked up sn4 = "to prune", lol, my word for today
I don't think I'm understanding nu5/14. How can one be more nu 4/6. Isn't nu 4/6...nu 4/6? I didn't think there were "degrees" of that.
hi Haz
hi hoot and hi Ata
You are correct Molly. I get miffed when people use a comparative of unique
This is Babble, Molly.
Maybe it's to do with shades of pantyhose?
the nu8 is the state of being nu4
the 5 is multiple nu4's
Bichon, that is perfect! "A comparative of a unique." I love it.
ugh. this trying to be nice in emails is hard work
Mooly - welcome to the Enable dictionary!
Molly!!!
brb, must just go and shut chooks up.
This is where the duct tape gets used..
.. chooks?
Chickens.
Translate: chickens.
Sally is showing distressing signs of being affected by the Aussie contingent.
ahh, ty Haz and FM.. learned something new
We'll have to nip that in the bud.
*yawn* i can haz another week off??
I've called chickens chooks since I was a child.
sice
nuts
lol Hi hootowl!
wish that word were in my Scrabble dict. as it would be a great hook for "hook"..
hoot -- i LOVE your icon. :)
How is the family hoot?
Hi FM = family fine as far I know.
Just for you Eva
ty
awwww.... thanky :)
welcome to the family, Eva, my step-father and mother's surname is FOster :)
GW still working all the hours that God sends I bet, send them a hello from me.
Will do FM
Not the Fosters of Gloucester?
dear chris is the black sheep, of sorts -- the lone Foster in a family of Thompsons.
I've decided not to change my owls...but...if I can get an appropriate owl for an accasion I will do it. You were my first
well ... cheltenham!
i love owls. didnt have any at the wedding, though!
Not much in the PB - I'll come back later....
Been an owl nut since my days in CB in the 70's
I must go and shut windows and draw curtains as it is nearly dark and then investigate the contents of the fridge. TTFN.
Hi, back.
time to go.. fun chatting with you all.. bye for now!
bye FM
Well, I'm going to head out for a walk so I'll take my leave as well. I'll get Spangles head lamp on.
Bye Aloy
gee - bye Haz
And I'm going back to the grid. Still need 89 and haven't finished first run thru!
I must go for now too. Must get ready and look as if I've been busy all afternoon. Have 27 to find for later.
Half way, I deserve a break
I think I am having chocolate for lunch.
Was that a showstopper, or what?
All right, whatever
evan!
i have been wearing this icon for you for weeks!
and ata whyfor are you trying to be nice??

Good to hear you're feeling better Ardilla.

hello everyone
Hi Annie.
Hi Molly
How many words today?
300
Thanks.
anyone have a clue for en 7/28, please
Annie, that is a hard one to clue. It ends in a two letter plural, but the first 5 letters do not make a word.
4th se 5/10?
Annie, the first 3 letters start the opposite of exit, then the first vowel, then a snake, then the two letter plural.
second se 6/18
joey, thanks
you are welcome, glad to be able to help
4th se 5/10?
ladybug, add a vowel to the word above
2nd se6/16 is a pl and the 4th se 5/10 is a latin pl of the 4.
ty
my clue was for the 5
well..how is everyone?
Hi carlee, doing fine but eyes are getting tired as it is the end of the day and I am just about to shut PC down. Hows you and the cooking for the masses coming along?
today was baking desert
made basboussa for 1000
sunday...fatoosh and humous for 1000...then the dinner on monday
remind me again of the event as I recall you being involved last year too and being amazed by the sheer volume of people.
its a dinner thw women at the local mosque put on 2ce a year
once per year the monies raised go to a local charity...and once to an international one
thhis time its for our local hospital....the one last spring we did for haiti...
both v good causes.
i like helping out....most of the churches around here do dinners..but its to raise money for their own coffers....this is for a cause outside of the mosque
and I bet they don't cater for such quantities!
and i like that... anyway..when i was in universtiy my best friends mum was arab...she taught me to "cook" ( meaning ..anyone who does not kow their food does not know how to cook )
then...when i moved here and met a local woman from the mosque ( she wear hijab but she and i get along So well..we immediately felt like we knew eachother a long itme...and started giggling and to this day we do not stop )...found out i "know how to cook"...i was roped in
LOL, how great to find a kindred spirit.
so..i go...the other women there were "who is this person..blonde..blue eyed...etc....but now they all know me... 6 or 7 years later
for a lon gitme i was "carolyninthekitchen"
all slurred together
heh hee I really have to go, sorry but I've been sat infront of the computer too long today and had only returned to it to shut it down.
now we giggle and say i am a "sister in law"...b/c in islam....u all brothers and sisters in islam.... i am sister in law
well..have a lovely sleep...sweet dreams dear one
Thanks and may see you on the morrow (()).

if there is a creature called an anteater why isn't there a verb "anteat?"- one wonders idly.
Kap, if the Hawaiian goose is an ne4, why is there no plural for that? Especially since Enable recognizes "deers" (no such plural). Best not to ponder such redundancy.

Greetings all.
yes kind of like an old wrinkled face can be full of charm and beauty...I try to see beauty in everything...my dad taught me to look for it...we worked at NIH and there was this poor woman who was just a very unfortunate person who had such profound acne and large features, huge teeth and most people commented on her "ugliness" but I swear she had absolutely beautiful eyes that just lite up the room...I found it hard to see any ugliness in her after I noticed that.
No to only 2

I often surprise myself !
