lo8 = ski lo5 - last vowel + oint****

the lo8/9 looks so weird to me x.x

an 5/14... severe sorrow or anguish... only one vowel at the beginning ru
's ok...whatever works :)
in America lo 8 usually has the last vowel

ol4

YAY dart!
Hooray for dart!
others before I poof?
wiki says Both abridgment and the more regular abridgement are current in America, only the latter in the UK. Similarly for the word lo8. Both judgment and judgement are in use interchangeably everywhere, although the former prevails in America and the latter prevails in the UK

morning all
blog is not a word???

hi sprite! :o)
hi
Morning spritey sprite!
morning FM :D
welcome to an interesting grid.
it is a good grid today! Last third is challenging.
yup sone umm shall we say ineresting words today that challenge the old grey cells
absolutely. Shaking all those lazy brain cells awake.
Well what else will ge the brain going on a Sundya morning?
Morning all how many words please
159
159. <-- there I remembered! :oO
true. Even better: my whole family is still asleep. Me time!
lol dfm
159 sandra, and good morning
Thanks
It's 0400h right now! And I'm nothing near tired! *falls asleep*
lol and I have been up since 4.30 (gotta love those time zones).
I usually go to bed at 0500 o.0 and wake at around 0900, which puts me *slightly* late for work... flex hours <3
that is a really early rise, FM. Are you rested?
more or less sprite.
how can you survive on 4 hours sleep dfm?
maybe time for a little nap later today?
any more than 5 hours and I end up feeling groggy and spending the entire day in bed :o( so I gotta get up before then
yes thats for sure sprite.
I don't nap either o.o
naps are great
Im not that keen on them as they make me feel groggo but occasionally they work. Had stuff I needed to do first thing this a.m and then of course there was sudoku and then the grid - the rest of the day is pretty much "whatever".
some laundry and cleaning to do today... walking Terra... burning a couple of dvds. Cuddling with kids and hubby. Maybe translating a bit. That's all, after babble :)
That sounds good too spritey.
good morning everybody
morning rubyfoo
Morining roby.
hi ruby :o)
*ruby even!
robyfuu
or rob fooey!
cold sunshine today and husband let me sleep 'til 8:30
though he makes me feel like a criminal when I do
ack my typing has gone out of the window already.
fourbuyo
ah well, rubyfoo, he can only let you feel bad if you let him! You slept in, enjoy the feeling.
fourboy I mean
but then I made him his usual great Sunday breakfast!
45 left, still 2 blank tiles and not that many biggies. But I got a 9 all by myself :) *happy dance*
yaya sprite!
yay sprite
ribs
logs
nags
digs
rubyfoo is on a roll!
game
gold
golds
don't forget to enter them in the right window as well
RUUUUUUUBYYYYYYFOOOOO!
nags logs
omg! so sorry. heading for the PB!!! (head down, slinking)
and hello lizmac
I am ashamed.... no more chat for me!
as is liz!
Wait for the opportunist, Ruby!!
lol that was shameless, rubyfoo. Good for you.
*giggles*
Hi liz :)
terrible. Obviously, I can't multi-task
Hrumph, urr good morning all. What can I do except bareface my cribbing.
lovely to see you, liz
I got too excited when I saw all those little words!
The only reason they went into the chat was that I was copying the words so fast LOL
hullo liz mac
remember you have to reenter them, rubyfoo! Or they will be almost impossible to find at the end, when you think you already entered those
Love yr icon liz, so funny!
I noticed, liz, lol. So fast a space got in between.
oh and that reminds me sprite I nominate odlho as a word today - a cross between hello and someone yodelling
SPRITE, I'm shocked at what you're suggesting, I have no choice but to be defiant now and carry on self righteously.
and thank you FM
*grin* You are doing great, liz, never mind my teasing!
I love it, FM!
let's make it World Odhlo Day!
amen!
LOL
now I'll have to scroll back to make sure I entered all Ruby's words.
I thought blog was a word
lol rubyfoo, yodling grid words from the PB now?
blog is a word. But it is a modern word, introduced long after the internet arrived. And this enable version doesn't even know internet. Leave alone blog, email etc.
dear ruby just falls for them all the time
after all, I live in the Alps!
I'll have to build a rubyfoouton for her.
awwww
hahah FM; I'm being soooo careful now. hit myself with a mackerel to wake up more!
Take no notice of their cruel taunts, Ruby. Perhaps you've found some BIG words now (says she slyly)
not yet, liz, only smalls
am4 to that, rubyfoo... am4 to that.
sprite and ruby have both used words that make up a 7
I'm just lucky that nobody got mad at me!
I used that in the chog without realizing it was in the grid duh
hmmmm *looking*
I can share a clue for a 9, if anyone is interested though.
is it the b9 or the h9?
me me me me me, Sprite.
either or both FM
the Bl9. My eyes after another sleepless night.
both compound words
beautiful!
ty
oh got the h, thanks!
the h is h8/9
Wow, that was a good B9.
yes, REAL big words, lovely!
the oo8/9 is a real doozie.
*gets ready to hand round the smelling salts*
ah thanks FM, that will remove one blank tile for me, once I find them.
mane
manes
damn!!!!
ah got them, thanks FM. New ones for me.
*puts more coffee on in the PB*
wow wtg sprite!
damn is not valid!
that must just leave you 1 more 9 then sprite unless you have it already
sprite's babble rule #7: always try already-found-words after any possible prefix.
nope, one missing in action still
do you want the 1st letter?
*throws pride into the winds* Yes please!
l8/9
I left my pride in the penalty box today!
thank you *hunting*
best place for it. Not much use anyway, grin. My pride gets me into trouble more often than it gets me out.
lol liz, I left mine at the babble front door years ago.
BRB time for tea
pride? not
bye FM, enjoy your tea
15 left...all S'sss
you should grab some of mine, rubyfoo. I have spare ;)
wow dizgrannie, go go goooo
that was very quick, dizgrannie!
thanx to Dee who put a list up
not too quick, Ruby, been at it since 5pm and is now 8:45pm Aussie time.
aaah, so you were here when I shamed myself :(
LOL, not a prob Ruby, you gave me words I thought I had.
and it is in the chog for all to see forever, rubyfoo :)
and I will probably hear about it later......
only if you bring it up, though. We've all been there and will get there again.
mum's the word!
yep :)
back with tea
wb FM! Can I please beg for the 2nd letter of the big L?
lo
and it is a strange word
it has to be. Have been looking for big Lo words all this time. Ok, time to entice the monkeys with banana splits...
hah! Works every time. Come and get your banana splits, guys, you did great work. Thanks FM :D
LOL isn't it funny how that works!!
it is amazing!
I found it, too, but would have thought it had an internal l!
actually it is a pretty normal word once you have found it and double checked the def.
e*
I would expect an E in between.
snap, sprite
:)
I think the e is lost once you start adding the various endings.
Blame the English for the english spellings (probably) :)
that must be it. No logic in english, grin. Nor in dutch, for that matter.
If HAz was here she could tell us.
or in French!
Hi all - I have got it yet
hi Kazzer!
Morning Kazz.
gm kazzer
i am looking though
Haz, come out, come out where ever you are!!
I am wondering... somebody being se4 by the Big Guy... isn't he go*se**?
Ha-az... come out to play-ay...
kazzer: a place to stay
lol sprite but that would have to be 2 words.
ok! See, some things a foreigner will never learn. Thanks FM.
ths got and i am not sure why there isnt an e in the middle as well - it might have to do with the pronunciation - an e in the middle would add an extra syllable
tsk don't get technichal on a Sunday morning Kazz.
now that makes sense. Wtg Kazz.
i've no got 3 9s thats good for em
oops me
u tpe as go4 as me Kaz :)
if you like, we can clue the 4th one.
pls!
I never got the oo, either.....
yes please
oo + something to play + an exam is a ***t. Drop the last letter for an 8.
lets sprite handle this one *grin*
lol!
thank you, I had the part after the oo's
i am really bad at typing fast - but though thaey a good workman never blames there tools i think i have some radom toast crumbs under the keyboard - my return button was playing up last night
very nice clue
yvw
oogamete
bugger bugger bugger
time for the vacuumer, Kazz. Oh, yes, you got it!
ROFL
roflollllllllll
that should be in the grid, this AM
and you managed to spell the oo and bugger totally correctly!
that too
I feel better!!
ok two more posts to get rid of it
*wipes tea off the keyboard*
*still laughing out loud*
oh you gotta love babble chat!
tea to go with the crumbs
Kazz, thanks for making me laugh like this!
does anybody have the middle e for nbt?
I have one for that tile. What they do to clean the bowels.
eeew, thank you!
Hopefully not the same vacuum that Kaz will use for her keyboard.
I was blocking that, lol
well - i am glad that i gave everybody a laugh - i just had to go and help hubby and dad in law put a tarpaulin on our leaking garage roog
hi Haz :D
oops roof
*snort, tries not to laugh*
gm haz, pls don't read the chog!
go4 job Kazz
those darn leaky roogs
Morning HAz - you have missed some great laughs. lol ruby.
Oh, ruby, I ALWAYS read the chog.
oh no!
It's the only way to keep up the register of misdemeanours.
it may spoil finding a biggie, but will make up for it in laughs
we were calling for you earlier for gramatical info.
several of us (especially me) have black splotches.....
Grammatical info? Let me loose.
*writes one down for Haz because of the vacuum joke!*
rah - no more 8s or 9s - now I will concentrate on the rest of the little ones - i am cooking a roast for lunch today which is unusually cos we noramlly have it in an evening
the question was why is there no e in the lo8/9 where you would think one would be.
Phone..
sounds lovely for any time a day, Kazz. And gratz.
Haz thinks she can phone a friend?
Haz is going to look up the question
She must think she is on "Who wants to be a millionaire"?
just found a strange ma7/8, friend of mine's last name
Hey all you Americans...when is Thanksgiving? I know its coming up, not sure of date
ah the ones that build from the lovely go4n fruit?
next Thurs
Last Thursday of this month diz
thanx all
25th this month
i think they are big turnips
so is my friend!
She is a big turnip?
roflol!
Sorry, the e in the middle of lo8/9 is negotiable and both versions are acceptable.
he is, but sweet like a rutabaga
I'd spell it with an e in the middle because it looks wrong without, but there you go.
thanks Haz, for obscuring that even more for me
darn thought we would bet a black and white answer from you Haz.
Clear as mud, isn't it?
well at least now I know I wil spell it correctly... if all goes, all goes.
and funnily enough enable does accept the lo with an e spelling.
so we have all enriched our wordpower for today :)
enable is relaxed about s vs. z, also
I think that must be a US influence
see you later, folks, getting on toward luch time
Toodles ruby.
Bye ruby - I'd better head towards the kitchen as well. Toodle-oo all!
Bye HAz, go4 to have seen you even if friefly.
(Cream of celery soup, pork and tomato casserole, peach melba Eve's pudding with hot peach sauce)
*gone*
yum
bye rubyfoo
apart from the cream of celery soup :(
lovely, Haz. Have a great day.
sprite I think it is just you and me and I am going to go and have a read of the papers - take car hun and have a lovely day.
bye dear FM and thanks for all the fun :) Have a grand day.
Hi Sprite if you're still there. Just going to read back in the chog before I start (for the chat, not the clues!)
hi Sally, the chat is hilarious, grin.
Back from quick read. Yes :-)
fireflies for me. Very interesting grid. Some odd words, but also some lovely biggies. Have loads of fun, Sally!
Now is it cheating to put in the oo word which is spelt out?
The little ones just pass me by!
nope. You have seen it, you cannot unsee it now. So put it in. The other biggies are much more fun anyway.
Done. Gave me some root words as well. Well, I have only just started!
it is a twisty grid. Some words are like snakes, that twisty.
you will love this grid. Sorry to leave you, but I have to get going. Enjoy yourself, Sally, and have a grand day!
OK, thanks Sprite. Have a lovely day yourself.
Has anyone posted a clue list?
Has anyone posted a clue list?
Dee, nan, and flosey have lists... not sure who else
lets
Saw in the chat that Volleymomdee had, mema.
Thanks
Clue please for lo 8/60 and lo 9/78
Where you might live and plural gran
Thanks and finished
I cannot believe there are 22 words from that M!
I don't think I know 22 words beginning with M lol
I have 13 of them and don't think any more are possible!
Are there any Long Words from the M ?? Sally
Longest I have is 7 (so far!)
you definitely know more than 22 M words. here are 22 NOT in the grid that i'm sure you know... mood mush must musk moan merry make mellow mash mask many mangle mope mole mode motion mocha match muse major minor more
which is not to say that THESE 22 are easy, for i need six more myself.
Show off hurshy lol
All right, I give in! Now I shall see those words all the time I am looking.
anyone can come up with lots of words if they aren't confined to words that are in the grid :)
i must say i am sad that you can't be either a mandog or a dogman :(
LOL
Just found an ma 7/8, a root vegetable if you don't have it.
think think think
all i can think of is vegetable marrows
No, root vegetable, not (normally I think) grown for human consumption but for animal feed.
Thank you Sally
oho, i have found it
thanks! only two more M's now
one!
One more for me :-)
zero!
show-off!
now, the lower S is another story.
Ms mastered!
show-off!
lol
Bottom row greyed at last, just got final O from that bottom right hand corner.
but what about the left hand corner?? those are mystifying me.
Do you want the stats?
yes please
I confess I didn't find these by myself, was reading back in the chog and someone had spelt it out (!) oo 8/55 and plural for oo9/72
aha, got em, thanks!
oh my. there are three other 9's to find. AND two more 8's. heavens to betsy.
Have all the 8s and 9s now if you need a clue. I did find the others for myself!
well, tell me what they start with
bl 9/78 (just scrolling down my word list)
It's about time word games allowed blog...
compound, i suppose.... aha, yes
Good morning all
ho 8/60 and plural for 9 (allied to bl word)
lo 8/60 and plural
got the ho
Think that's all, lost count.
that is all, i just have to find these L's.
I think in English (as opposed to US English) we would tend to put the letter E in the middle of the lo words.
you might, but it might be wrong, if it's like ju* end the same way. i don't think in american english we use these LO words at all! but thank you i found them
I think it's optional, but I haven't looked it up. Just tried it and it worked!
HOW can there be four more S words from that lower S??? hmmmmmmmm
oh there's a funny six, coming from french
Have that one :-(
i am back from furtling in the kitchen - lunch in about 90 inutes so can relax for a little bit
have you also got the first 5 letters of a warrior?
oho, and change the last vowel for another.
sl5 ! robot ending.
can you help me with the upper o? i only have the 4mobile
nevermind... pulled a peri and monkeyed it.
sigh.
Sorry hurshy, was just printing out an email for husband.
don't be sorry, *i* would have been sorry to put you to the trouble for nothing.
Good morning, I have 2 of the 3 'e's' in the top left hand corner en4/5 and en4/6 what am I missing, please?

Hi Brookie.
Hi Sally!

I do not see any en7 and 8 I got an en5/12 but can't find the other e?
Blog is not a word

en7 is a compound, no en8
Sparklers!

I was pleased to see it didn't accept blog cause it doesn't accept email
Hooray for Sally!!

Yeah sally!

Got it thanks
Thanks for the do5 clue
The Fs are all killing my brain.
Someone almost put it when they were complaining another word wasn't accepted :-)
For some reason, i can only come up with the fr 4/7

lol, i did, didn't i sally?
Then plural it.

Ah, thanks, Sally and Hurshy! Got 2 more. :)

TY for the ma7 - new one for me

Thanks for the ma clue!
Grown here, if not in the US, as root veg for animal fodder.
Is it a red beet Sally - or a yellow one? and never eaten by humans?
Morning all. Ma7 is Mari's brother. : D
It's a sort of dirty yellow, lynxxx, and as far as I know never eaten by humans - don't know why, perhaps it's very tough.
Cute clue, Molly, and Hi!
We often put another word after it.
Any more clues needed? Otherwise I'll beetle off!
An I or an O in the bottom left corner, please Sally?
the id4/5 may have clay feet
Thanks so much! I can't believe I didn't see that!
oo 8/55 and plural for a 9, Brookie.
lol, I didn't either, Brookie.
TY Sally
Ugh re: o8 and 9. Will look for it.
You may be more familiar with the part of the word after the oo (hint!). It's a biological term.
Ah, got it!!!
Anyway, must be off now. Toodlepip everyone. *Gone*
bye, sally's back!
bye Sally
hello lynxx
Swift swerve. Hi ruby! And bye

Sleep sounds good to me too....Night all
sweet dreams, lynxx!
Night!
hello dindrane
Hello!
I think I've hit the "50 left wall" but will be back later.
{{dindrane}}
I have 94 left and have hit a wall. :p
Is there a list up anywhere?
Can't work out top middle E, any clues, please?
in volleymomdee profile
cleans your colon, liz
I'm supposed to be a nurse!! TYVM
en7 compound and en5/12 after it
en 5 is like a colon clense
With all this talk of colon cleansing, I am reminded of Mother Klump. Fabulous darling, fabulous.
volley is not longer online
go in rankings :)
Marc, go to Rankings and do a CTRL F. Then type in Volley. It will get you to her profile.
TYVM
Thanks Molly
Oooh...Soodle is almost in the grid!
good morning friends, and my dear soodle!
just a few mins to babble before church....
Hi Trif :-)
nbs, nbt, quite chuffed with myself at the mo
Good for you, Trif. I'm struggling with the O's....
they are tricky today, that is for sure! the bottom left corner o took me an age
Yup...thats where I'm stuck!
its the 8/9 pair. do you want a clue?
Yes please :-)
*Passing warm, buttered croissants to Trif and Soodle*
oo+ baby babies (like, before they are formed)
thanks molly! yummy!
Yay. Thanks for the clue, Trif, and thanks for the munchies, Moll!
I was going to make stirabout, but I figured it was too bland for Sunday breakfast. : P
You spoil us Moll!
okay, methodism calls. see you later, my dear friends
Have a good day, Trif :-)
Pray for us sinners Trif. : )
Ironic that"'blog' was not found in the dictionary"?
Morning all...looking at Trif's clue for the oo. Can someone dumb it down for me, please?
Its oo attached to a g word that means a type of cell in the body.
The pregnant body I meant.
OO plus a sporting event (a football **** or a **** of cards) plus a little alien friend of Elliot's reversed.
As usual - a very clumsy clue!
Thank you, molly and soodle!
I thought it was a good clue Soodle.
I agree.
:-)
nbt and half way = good breaking point. Hope to see you good people later.
Laters, Nonnie :-)

'morning, folks
hi welki
Morning all
hi bob
((((((((((welki))))))))))))
'morning, irish
Good Morning Fellow Babblers. I had plans for brunch this AM; but the world has turned in to a ice rink outside on just a minimal amount of drizzle. 370+ accidents here in the Twin Cities (MN) overnight!
i see you've gone pro ... didn't take long :)
I have the oo 8 and 9, thanks to clues..does anyone know what the other 8 and 9 start with
hi nef
hi nef, stay home and safe
er, when were those clues?
good grief nef-------stay home. Don't be a statistic!
good grief nef-------stay home. Don't be a statistic!
Annie, there's an lo 8/9 and an ho 8/9 too
oo + cell that can be fertilized (then plural)
We will stay home for a few hours anyway. I don't want to dent our new (to us anyway) car
ty
oops, thought someone asked for the oooooooo
can you clue the ho 8 and 9?
I have all 4 of the 9's but am missing an 8 yet
morning babblers :)
hi Nono
ho 8/9 are combo word and pl
annie the ho8/ 9 are what you might be called if you get angry easily
thanks nef, will start my search
(someone with quick tempers?)
thanks Nono
yw
hotheaded?
irish, have you found babble expert or lickety's list yet? the list will help you finish grids, but unfortunately, isn't working today. babble expert is an import/export program that allows you to see the list, the grid and chat all in one screen
I got it!!!
sort of but think body fluids
there are several words that use the bl 5/16 (also a hint for ho8/9, Annie)
Yes, thanks to you all, I got it
welki, Babble expert doesn't work with Macs yet.
is the lo 8 a compound word?
does irish have a mac? (i know that, since i do)
<-- just assumes she's the odd one out using a mac :)
Annie, yes, just leave out a vowel in the middle
Oh! welki! I didn't know that you used one too! Now I don't feel *quite* so slighted! ;-)
thanks, nef, will search
or, rather Odd, not slighted
Irish has a pc. I have become a pro member. don't know anything about babble expert or lickety's list.
Mac here
nono, do you know a bobbie, aka royal?
hoti
I am missing one 4 letter m word - I think it's an ma
when you have a moment, click on the link at the bottom of the page .. lickety's list .. some people tile their screens and add words (helps you find out which ones you're missing). if you send lickety an email, he'll send you the link to babble expert (unfortunately, this site will be upgraded in the future, so expert is a temporary thing)
Welcome, Irish! I always tell newbies that AngelSong's Babble Page (found under the tiles stats grid, in the "Friends of Babble" list is) is very helpful.
ma 4/7?
welcome to babble, Lucky
thanks welki and nef
maby not....
gtg
thanks annie
Jayde, try another na** for the three Kings (
or a shorter version of a type of wheels
hehehe .. .the canine criminal investigation show ... book'em, dano
I don't consider the lo8/9 combo compound words. Maybe it's just me.
I am still searching for the lo 8 and 9..any clues, molly
The first part of the word usually has "ski" in front of it. Leave off the last vowel. The second part is a and after dinner m*** with a different vowel.
A rooming house? MollyL, I guess to me it *looks* like a compound word; but in strict terms,you are correct
Thank you! Molly
got the lo 8 and 9
WTG, Annie!
I have the oo, lo, ho, 8 and 9's...anyone know the other one
thanks, nef
great clue, molly
Annie, I don't think the last one is an 8/9 combo. I have all 4 9's but am missing an 8
an9 is going to be a doozy..I am not crazy about long words starting with a vowel
maybe there's a 7/8 combo I don't have yet?
an(??? I have a bl9/78 as my unmatched 9
the only bl I have is the red stuff
extend it (pertains to eyes)
LOL, I read your chat incorrectly...I took your an 8/9 for a clue. my error
hello
Oh, my! Sorry!!!
Hi phaeton
no list today?
Nef, thanks...got the bl 9...bless you
no list, phae..doubt if I will finish
I was here last night after the flip and someone said they posted clues in their profile. I was just looking to see who it was and can't find who it was so far
there is a list in Volleymomdee's profile
ty sixty
thanks 67
yw
thanks 67!
Nef, the other 8 is ma8 which I dont have
thanks, Annie. I'll start looking
I can clue the ma8 if anyone wants a clue.
what is the letter count, please?
ma 8/60
I sure need it, molly. Please
thanks!
Not woman + not silver and plural of that.
Thanks Molly!
thank you , Molly. I kept trying to extend the fruit
thanks molly
Apparently it's some kind of root vegetable grown to feed cattle in the UK. I've learned my something new for the day.
thanks molly, and good morning all!
and I was trying to extend the thing you hang on refrigerators
(But not the right way)
hi smooth! Did you get the freezing drizzle and ice roads overnight?
hi smooth
I must be on my way...be back later
bye, Annie
actaually, no... it's still ry. We're supposed to get some rain today, but it's warming up. Should cool back down tomorrow
*dry
When we were little we used to be read a book named Worzel Gummidge about a scarecrow and one of his friends was called Earthy Ma8!!
370+ accidents here in the Twin Cities overnight. The roads are sheer ice and we had less than 1/10th of an inch in moisture
what was the title of the book, Deeha?
wow! No, we really haven't had any sign of winter yet. Every now and then it will dip below freezing, and stay there for a day before getting back up to the 40s and 50s. I'm kind of getting tired of this, and just want it to start snowing already
Smooth, your photographs are amazing. Do you sell prints?
back again - keep getting distracted - had a lovely lunch of roast brisket, follwed by apple crumble
We had 8 inches of snow a week ago Saturday; the wet heavy stuff. It's only on the north lawns and snow piles now. How are you missing this stuff? ;-)
It was a whole series I suppose the original was called Worzel Gummidge- they evenutually made a tv series but it wasnt as good as the books.
thanks molly. I do... although, my printer closed down, so I'm looking for a new printer at the moment. :(
Nef... it keeps going north or south of us. I swear, there is a giant umbrella over Madison right now.
Good. I'd like to purchase a copy of "Golden Ripple". I will contact you via your web site.
LOL! There must be --for now. It sounds like we will be in for some more bad weather the middle of the week. Maybe you will get that?
I sure hope so Nef ;) And thanks Mol!
gah! so many phantom words today!
hi, all. I've been waiting for today for a while. I get to start preparing the food for Thanksgiving. I love cooking holiday meals.
Hi Angel. I was waiting for today to go visit my former neighbors for brunch; but until the icy roads improve, we are stuck at home
(Sorry, I wandered off an made coffee. I totally agree with you about the phantoms, smooth
hi, all
dosh
AND, my typing stinks today
oh bugger again - soory folks must take more care where i am leaving the cursor
hi NB and Kazzer
no worries Nef, I wandered into a list to help me find some words. :) Hey nancy!
Think dosh must be an English expression Kazzer?
hi nef - i have been in and out of here today like a g*ness knows what
whos got a list today
Fiddlers elbow Kazzer!!
VolleymomDee
awww there's no list? I'm feeling waaay too fragile after last night, to do this without a list...
NB, VolleymomDee has a list
I might be feeling too delicate to do it anyway ;) my body's being punished today.
NB, you sjouldn't have punished it last night!
er, shouldn't. I had to learn the hard way that my body doesn't like booze.
but last night I could be blase about it ;)
oh no, that's the unfair thing, I didn't even drink! Still have that gone-through-a-blender feeling though
I know. I found even as little as 1 drink could make me yell "Ralph" the whole next day. It's a tough lesson to learn: what or how much you really can have and survive intact
oh; sorry! Here I thought that you'd been drunk! However, we do have to learn limits on other stuff too. I pulled a groin muscle over 2 months ago and I can't lift my grandson now until it's fully healed. (I've had to learn that the hard way!) :-(
can anyone clue the HO 8, please?
Just looked out the front window at the road. The only tire tracks on it are from the neighbor across the street: the marks show they backed out of their drive, but when they tried driving forward; they must have slid right into the curb on this side of the street! Their tire marks show they skidded the whole rest of the street that I can see. I'm sorry, but I'm not *that* crazy to get anywhere just yet! It's starting to warm up (Just 32 degrees right now; up from 28degrees (F). I can wait.)
nevermind... got it :)
smooth, someone who has a quick temper can be called this combo word (and its' pl)
good morning everyone -2 c here and snowed a tad last night:)
Yeah, when I saw that word, it was like looking in a mirror ;) just so obvious.
Good day all! Can someone clue the upper middle e, please?
YOU, smooth???!!! Not in my memory! ;-)
Hi crossy and science
it's a volcano alert word, SG
howdy nef;)
lol... well, me, my mom, and her dad all have some very similar traits, and when the three of us get together, we can get a little HO8, just because we all have the same buttons ;)
volcano alert? lost me
there is a volcano in Italy that often shows up here in grids, SG. I thought you may have been here long enough to run into it. et 4/4
that is not the middle e, that is the corner e
en 7/44 a compound word
OOPS. try E 4/5 then
ty crossy that was one of them
it is the en7/44. Sorry. Need coffee I guess
need one more
np science;)
clean out your colon with the other
ty nef
glad you made me look. It helped me too
b;s are hard today
oops b's
I can't believe no one has clued ho8 as the singular of a song by Foreigner. This is not a very rock and roll kinda group.
at least 3 relate to a body fluid
have two of the fluid ones
maybe many of us are older that that age group, Molly?
back in a min or 2,must whip up a nice omlette,with onions,green pepper and some nice shaved extra old white cheddar,fried in butter of course;)..semi-poof!
bl 9 relates to your eyes, SG
The bi's are a bitch, which is not technically in the grid, but the letters are in there : D That is a definite possibility Nef, the age thing.
yes ty!
lol
ok 41 left and I need to go do laundry and other mundane things
see you later hopefully.
just don't rub it in, Molly! ;-)
Name that oxymoron
Wouldn't dream of it Nef. : D
Hot Ice
Good eye Kap, I missed that.
If my eye was so good, I'd be done.
I can t wake up this morning.
I'm just confused by that Kap.
By what, Nef?
your oxymoron. But I'm just now getting my first cup of coffee; so am a bit slow today
It's in the grid. Hot ice. not a real word.
What other clues for ho8?
DUH! Thanks!
When people get angry they are said to have...
Ho 8 is what you might call someone with a short temper
I'll just sing Foreigner by myself. : P
All I can think of is hothead. My brain is running through its song catalog.
warm + what vampires drink
I'm _______ check it and see, I got a fever of 103
Oh, that. I think of it more as passionate than angry.
try adding a bl5/16 to the beginning
down to final 15 - all s's
I got it, I got it
four left!! almost there!
GO, go Kazzer and smooth! You can do it!
Done!!
well, that means I'm off. HHave a good day all!
and nef, if you're a fan, enjoy the vikings vs. packers today :)
how many words today folks?
YAY, SMOOTH!!!! WTG!!!

Good for your Smooth
Finally! right column grey!!!

so far so good, Doren. How about you?
nice lazy day here... doing a bit of this and a bit of that... need more hours in the day though
I agree with the hours in the day.
i entered the grid at the right time.. enough nice clues in the last ten minutes or so to let me get down to 25 without resorting to a list... my kind of day!
now the trick is to come back later when they give twenty or more clues that i need, so i never have to list
that is wonderful Doren 52 left here. Time for me to get back to the dusting. ((Hugs)) to all of you
dusting? something i ought to think about once in a while
It has been just a thought for a few weeks. Now push has come to shove. Can't have everyone for Thanksgiving with dust on the furniture
enjoy your stuff!
I'd have to kill the first one who wrote "dust me" on the furniture
Yoo hoo! Mom! Bring your duster over to my place when you're done please! There is coffee and pie involved.
Will be there tomorrow Molly
nah mom, just hand them a dust rag!
Good ole Mom reminded me to go dust boy child's room while he is out for a walk.

Ooo, what was Jilly up to last night?
No..the eye strain alone; I was in bed shortly after flip...Hi Molly!
more than halfway and nbt....going to take a break...bbl
Good afternoon, Babblers!
Ola Ms. Miranda! Hootchie-coo!
hello babblers.. i have a very somber message for all of you
Uh oh. What's up, sammysmom.
if you know of anyone with emotional or mental problems.......... and they have a presecription for subonone....... do NOT let them take it.. my neice"s son did and he was dead within 12 hours. age 24
Oh my God, that's awful. I'm so sorry for your family's loss.
Oh no! How awful! So sorry for your loss, Sammysmom.
not only are we distraught, but outraged that these drugs are so readily available and so deadly
Was it an allergic reaction?
I can't find anything searching subonone. Was it suboxone?
it was a reaction to the drug that was listen in the sheet, but i suppose people think "oh well, that can't happen to me" . but it cdan and it did
suboxone
That is tragic. Prayers out for your family, especially your niece.
i am thinking that there is something terribly wrong in this world... that is the 4th death that i KNOW of in the last 5 years. all young men .. all with suicodal tendencies for one reason or another
Sounds to me like that drug should be pulled from the market. Yes, Molly. Tragic is the only word.
isit the chemicals in our food??? water........?? is it society.. what the hell is going on.. i am living in a world i don't understand
thank you for your prayers.... i just had to get it off my chest and make people aware of the dangers of these drugs that are on thermarket now
caveat emptor comes to mind
SM, we are living in a world that has become very impersonal. And there is not enough care for the mental and emotional health of our young people.
gd evening everybody
Sammysmom - what a dreadful experience. My sincere condolences.
Hello (((Rubes)))
BBL. Phone.
Suboxone can cause death from overdose, especially if it is injected with a tranquilizer. ouches.
condolences.
{{soodles}}

do u normally tell each other words
no but we do give each other hints
No telling, just clueing. Hints, really. We all want to try to get them ourselves.
<-- doesn't usually feel the cold unless he tries, gets frostbite without knowing a lot of the time :o(
go5/16 please?
looking jilly
how do u tell the hints
Ohhhh...10/23 in my football game, although QB is limping.
clinton portos is out :-(
go5/16 pl. go4/7 before
jilly has that one dfm
aaron: We use dictionary definitions, letter hints, or cryptic crossword hints.
Schaub has bursitis in his knee. Looks like it's bugging him. 16/23! There's a chance they'll wake up with 9:14 to go!
thanks jmc and dfm
oh
now up to 64. falling asleep. back later to play and chat. *poof*
welcome aaronitor!!
Correction: We use dictionary definitions and letter hints. *I* use cryptic crossword hints, and everyone hates me for it ;o)
I try clues that I can think of....lol
I'll take whatever works on my dim brain!
for a relatively small grid, this one kept me cracking the whip on the monkeys! but i'm done and now must go make something for nurishment
whoo hoo lbd

Hi. There's a list in my profile. I haven't been able to post one one BabAnon, as normal, because the site's not loading.
hi Jac!
*one on* I meant.
Hi lynxxx.

dangit, i want to see the outfits, too .. and i can't find them on flickr
ho8?
Yes, another compound

hot rhymes with witch?
yay!
hi welki :)
lolol .. what a surprise, we dress alike
hey harry

no turtlenecks for me
i wear t-shirts and jeans now
i'll only wear an open neck when it's warm
well you are in canada
lo8/9?
(which won't be until july at this rate)
i only wear closed toe shoes when it is snowing or icy rain
an incomplete ski lo*** + only the basic accoutre***** for my work attire
ty welki
i didn't own any when i first moved up here
lo**e is what you could join, or live, or 'put in' a tax return - extend that
lol .. i just got back from buying two pairs of winter boots, one for the walk to work and one for extremely cold temps while icefishing
ty welki and lynxxx
so i have 8/9 ho, lo, and oo what am I missing?
bl9 compound, what you get after drinking perhaps
bl9: what happens to your eyes after staring at the grid too long
(no 8 with that one)
the other 8 is the ma7/8 yet another compound
ty keep going up instead of down
*kept
Ho, lo, oo...sounds like a voodoo chant. : D
we need a little voodoo with 10 injuries
whoooo hoooo redskins win!!
Gano kicks in the win! Unreal. What a game.
I didn't think boy kicker's leg could boot it that far.
does anyone have a list posted?
Jacula does
gans
ty
sorry
np but i wish it worked
I said sorry because it wasn't a word
the boy kicker did better than the boy quarterback
(that titan QB didn't look like he shaves yet)
just checking in...and hooray redskins!! these close games give me heartburn, but we'll take 'em anyway we can get 'em!
could i get a little bitty clue for the ma 7/8? stats maybe?
hooray indeed pcal!
ma7.44 & 8 - a new one for me, a vegetable they grow for livestock in the UK

Hello again everybody :-)
hi soodle :o)
hi soodle
Oh, what a black day in this country. The government have finally capitulated, and gone to the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank for a bail out. Theres going to be very tough times ahead in this country :-(
wouldnt it be tough times anyway?
Oh Soodle, I am sorry.
It was going to be tough times, indeed, but now, it seems we wil be at the mercy of the international financiers. Jeepers......for a country who fought so long and so hard for soverignity, it is very hard to come to terms with.
that is hard
Well, America is in debt to the chinese up to our A**....
Ah well, as long I can afford to pay electricity bill, and the internet connection, I can still Babble! :-)
en7 please? thanks!
not the beginning + ga4/7
Hello. :)
hi cgw
tx so much jilly!
HI cgw...welcome to the grid...have we met?
I think we did, yeah. Or I've at least seen you before. :)
:D
Hi Cgw :-)
:D
that's the fun of getting older and having no memory...ur always meeting new people. ;)
xD
lol
ROFL Jilly. The glass is indeed half full!
clue for the right hand i please?
frozen water...
Lots and lots of frozen water....
*smack*
xD
That was probably a frozen fish smacking Jmc....
*passes jmc container of tartar sauce* I have plenty...
don't worry jmc that was my fifth-last word!
lol oh i can be soo blind
Do you always finish the grid, dfm? D:
*brings over seeing eye dog sor jmc
hi ru
no cgw, when I can't I fall asleep. Or use lickety's, when it's there...
I go with outfit F by the way
Blind guy goes into a big department store. He picks up his guide dog by the tail and swings him round and round, over his head. The security men rush over to stop him, and the blind guy says ...'I was just having a look round....'
<---- always finishes the grid
Oh, lol. I just assumed you did because you have every time I've talked to you. xD
AND LOL SOODLE xD
just spent 5 minutes looking for a word I already had...*sighs heavily*
<-- usually finishes the grid...
oh cgw, you should have been here yesterday...
interesting choice ru
Oh soodle....*groans* but so funny!!
Ugh. Someday I'm gonna finish the grid. D: And why, what happened? :o
I spent two hours trying to monkey "reata".
<------------ finishes grid when Lickety helps.
xDDD
I liked all of them, was just thinking of conservative quacker mode.....
<-- is tempted to point this way -->
lol dfm
xD
it looks more professional
she'd need feathers for a quacker meeting jilly Jill
uh oh, my laptop temperature is at 87 C...
look a duck
lordy...there's that age thing again....Quaker
o.o
does it need an aspirin dfm?
eide-r or jilly
I think the fan is broken, it reaches those temperatures so often... :o/
Theres a thought, JMC.... Yellow feathers, a beak and webbed feet.... You would certainly turn heads!
The fan of my comp broke about 2 months ago.
*pulls out the other other laptop* there, I still have two machines on...
lol I am not sure that is the image i wanted to present soodle
It's painful because it's a tablet computer, and the fan normally cools where I would *hold* it...
it would be just ducky jm
Oh dang. xD
cgw, how old are you Babble-wise?
Uh...a couple days?
babble age?
ah :o) still have the Pro trial, I guess? don't worry, eventually you'll be able to finish grids regularly... :o)
Yeah, I do. :) And I'm hoping I will. I haven't even come close yet. xD
get to "learn" the common 4-letter "words"...
train the monkeys a bit better...
Haha yeah, my monkeys need a bit of training. xD
Ah! Like other things in life (!) you never forget your first fireworks!!
ahhhh, I remember my first fireworks....*gazes fondly at computer*
babble age wise I am prehistoric
:o/ I forgot mine...
I'm guessing "fireworks" means something on this site? But I don't know what it is. xD
I remember my first fireworks... I was 13 then
And in other ways ruru?
I think I'd predate you Babble-playing-age wise, ruru... not sure about account-wise though
i am a teenager 2 in a few days
Cgw,, when you finish the grid, you get an amazing (slight exaggeration) fireworks display.
Oooooh.
cgw when you complete the grid you'll (theoretically) get one ;o)
Until your Pro runs out :o( like mine :o( I missed my Pro trial too! T.T
Aw, that sucks. D:
so I've never actually seen fireworks :oO
*time to pay the piper dfm*
I wanna see the fireworks. DDDD:
it is an amazing bargain one time fee
--> is waiting for credit card to get home... and is also waiting to *go* home...
Best money I ever spent!
that's just because you get free cabana boys jmc
Lol how long is the pro trial, btw?
14 days
only one of the cabana boys swings my way
Oh, ok. :)
the other one is for NB and others
Good night all. Soodle is retiring to the Soodle-boudoir, desperately hoping that some cabana boys have escaped the PB and are lying in wait......
apparently pre-paid credit cards aren't that easy to get in Canada :o(
I wouldn't know. o.O
night soodle! :o)
lol good night soolde
Haha, night soodle.
Niters soodle.
Does anyone have any hints for the nines? D:
help with the right corner O please
One right o corner is a 4 that refers to your ears.
bl9/78 how your eyes look after drinking a lot
The other is a 4 that is short for the last thing someone is going to write about you.
Thanks jmc. :)

any clues needed before I wander off for a bit?
Hello again. Molly, are you still here? Ididn't mean that most of us were too old for Rock and Roll earlier; I meant that most of those on at that time probably didn't know who Foreigner was! (BIG difference, there!) :-)

We had a pleasant day visiting. I really miss them as neighbors. (I'd "adopted" the kids as my grandkids; their grandparents are all gone and athe couple is Iranian)

hi Seain. How are you doing lately?
i'm alright, thank you, nef. How are you and DH?

the last bi5/14?
bi5/14 pl. of bi4/6
I do not deserve to finish this if I can't see the dead bird
remove the end vowel from the bi 6
Dead bird, herin???
ty!
The dead as a do ??
gonna go cook something, be back in a bit
LOL! I just found that myself not 2 minutes ago! :-)
night, all
herin, it's an extinct bird
A doornail, you mean? ;oP
Wow It is 27 c (80F) already and it is midday.
Well I know what I meant
oh i see the bird now
I ahve to go out tomorow :(
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi min, et al, just starting
hi min, feather :o)
It's 34F here herin and cold drizzle. I'd choose your weather over mine (we had glare ice this AM and will have again tomorrow AM0
Hi Feather
Hello featherbee! I got a list in profile if you need one
Yuk Nef
HI Min and feather
oh crud, no list? k. will just get as far as i can then. thanks min.
Hi Mini
66 left
That said Nef I am wearing winter cloths
clothes
why herin? When it's 80 F you should dress lighter than winter clothes
Um because our house is old and it takes time to warm up. INside it is about 20C
OOPS! I bet "winter clothes" means something different "Down Under" than it does here! :-D
<-- is wearing summer clothes and it is -2C outside o.o
yes more than likely. I am wearing cotton pants and long sleave tshirt top
Were are you DF?
Ottawa
Winter sneaking in early DF?
it's late this year... we usually would have had a week of subzero by now... (at least slightly further south, only in Ottawa for this September to December)
4 more days til blizzard watch here!
ButOk. brrrrrrrr
This is odd. I am finding words easier using a list i printed out rather than use lickety's.
Paper tends to do that, cos :o)
I tend to find more words if I play with my paper grids than if I just stare at my screen
I love using lists I copy and paste into a word document. I can then DELETE the words I get.
i have 50 left and ive only asked for clues maybe 3 or 4 times
I have a question. As a first Christmas present for a friends baby. I am looking at getting a book as a keepsake is this a good idea?
i do that for my nieces
http://nickigreenberg.com/hamlet.shtml THis is the book both parents are book nerds
Of course there will be the obligatory toy included
btw thank you for the remind herin.. i need to order the book online for my nieces...
sounds great herin
my brother will hate it but who cares hes an ass anyway
shoot, blog isn't allowed
I got a bear with a Santa hat and 2010 on it. I plan on embroidering her name on the bears paw
that sounds great herin
brb 40 left.. time for a pepsi and cancer stick
Cos but books are important. They are the gift that keeps giving. The kid learns, falls in love with the books and when they grow up they can bpass them on
back...
hi pini
welcome back pini :o)
if it's of any intersting (regarding keepsake books)...I've 'made' one for my gdau...of a trip she and I took to a wild animal park...
herin - check this out... http://www.elfontheshelf.com/home.php? return=yes
Richard Scarry's "Cars And Trucks And Things That Go" is a staple in our family. It's been passed on several generations.
you can order books online that have the kid's name in them too.
its a new christmas tradition it hought my nieces would like
...the book includes photos we took of animals in the park in addition to writeups I included to describe the animals we saw...very personalized! :)
O Feather that is awesome
daniel has a couple from different places.
Pini that is cute
ok, for NBT, i need the lower left O and the top middle E. anyone know what they are?
I think so, herin...especially since she actually appears in the book with some of the animals :)
oo8, oo9
O - oo8+9
E - en7
en4 x 2
awwww cute
oops...make that en7
k, working on them, thanks
Df that is a little creepy.
got one of the Es, ty
oh, and I included the photo we got of the both of us actually riding an elephant while we were there ;)
I just figured that since both parents of this kid are word nerds it would be a good idea. When I go to their house I will have a book snoop
what's creepy? :o/
The elf
some great first books that are classics and good for rereading: goodnight moon; brown bear, brown bear, what do you see; any of the little quack series
blame cos, not me! :oP
Will do
also I don't recall greeting you for some reason... :o/ a (probably pretty belated) hi herin :o)
Feather I wanted a 'Grown up' book she can grow into. O I may also get a Harry McClary book too
Tasha Tudor's A is for Annabelle was one of my favorite ones to read and reread as an older child. beautiful pictures.
Hi All.
hi red ;)
hi red :o)
ok, help on the oo words please?
Herin if you want a book to grow into that can also be enjoyed for CHildren, I recommend any of the Cecily Anne Barkers flower faries series of peomes etc...
Feather that is a beautiful book.
oo + babble is a **** + **a for two
Hi Red
(then pl)
think of your ga6 and what oo means as a prefix
This is not a girly girl family. They are into science and words and suck.
such
(bah typing fai(
the drawings were how I learned my flowers, very technically correct. and fun.
Red I believe I ahve one of her books
The Lord of Rushie Rivier is a great story she wrote, not girly at all.

think Praying Ma****
that insect in fact vvv
* grin *
ty!
O hang on maybe I am thinking of Ola Cohn
And that reminds me must get my Judy Blume books from the parents
the ramona books?
oh no thats beverly cleary
ah yes.. judy blume wrote the Fudge series right?
Have that too.
the writers for the new ramona movie really destroyed it. it focuses on beezus and not ramona
Yes but sometimes these things work out well.
ma7/44?
ma7/44 (cryptic) a beet is manipulated, we hear
big boy + not silver
ah i didnt use the n.. tahank you

This makes me sick....
The UN has removed a reference to sexual orientation from a resolution condemning arbitrary and unjustified executions. The UN General Assembly resolution, which is renewed every two years, contained a reference opposing the execution of LBGT people in its 2008 version. But this year's version passed without any reference to gay rights after a group of mostly African and Asian countries, led by Mali and Morocco, voted to remove it.
Pini isn't it funny when a woman of 40 plus has a younger man everyone goes OMG stop the world and if it is a male it is all Woot go you
no kidding, herin...
when will we ever learn, cos?
Cos that is a bit frightening as you still have LBGT refugees that plead asylum on those grounds
I know. I'm just relieved I'm a citizen of a somewhat sane country.
But then again in China you can be thrown in a Labour camp for twittering
idk whats wrong with people sometimes.
Cos you just gave me a mental image from Southpark of Sparky the dog and ''don't be gay'' Don't ask me why it just popped into my brain
I mean.. it's fine if you oppose being gay for whatever reasons.. i respect that (but i dont like it!) but... to advocate killing them.
L top row- got le 4 5 4 4 4. last one?
fear and ignorance, cos...amazing what it can do...more often than not...very sad what it can do
it pisses me off how some people.. my brother included.. thinks its a choice. do they really think i chose to get kicked out of the house when I was 16 and live on the streets?
li 4 5 4 4 4 4
i have to say i was worried about chatting in babble when i first joined but i have found this group of people to be very friendly and open minded and loving. im glad i found this game
Cos my friends dad kicked him out of home when he went ''Dad I am gay''. Thank gods at my friends funeral I didn't recognise his father. Half of his family didn't have a clue and sucked
one of the things I love about the community here, cos ;)
Cos my response to people saying ''Don't be gay'' is don't be straight
duh.. the easiest one. thx pini.
sorry to change subject, but I am having problem with lickety, still on yesterday's list. ??
yvw chiro ;)
alem - no list today
dogs
no lickety list today, alem
go to volleydee's profile for a list
oops forgot to move my cursor.
however, there are a few babblers who've posted theirs in their profiles
thanks everyone
pinikula, I can't help but hink of bunnicula when I see your name! Great kids book!
Well I am done. I need to go do things like laundry and such :D
thx chrio...my nickname actually incorporates my original online nickname and Bunnicula (the nickname of a close friend who passed)
wtg herin
sorry bout your friend... :-(
thx chiro...it's been like 15 years...so it's a nice memory ;)
wait... cos, kicked out of the house? (sorry, I lost Internet for about 5 minutes back then, just catching up on the chog)
evening all
wb dfm
hi magy
hi mag, and everyone else I missed greeting while my Internet was down :o)
You know, I don't know why people get uptight about people who love each other. No matter what sex those two people are. As I recall, the suggestion was "the greatest of these, is love." I don't recall there being a sexual orientation sticker put on that suggestion.
agreed, molly
I never understood the problem with sexual orientation :o/
then again, I never quite understood love in general...
you'll learn, dfm...eventually
keep the faith
"eventually"...
hey, what can I say...I'm still working on it ;)
I think
Cos, if you are still around, I'm sending a "Mom like" hug to your young boy self. I'm sorry that being honest about who you are cost you so much.
Molly I agree. I have a g.f that has a g.f but they have a very not ''normal'' relationship
Hey, how can blog not be a word yet?? Hasn't that been used quite awhile?
apparently not enough yet, weiik
my opinion is that everyone deserves to happy...not matter who they are with.
Exactly.
hi again. I think that there are so many people out there that are afraid of anything different that they become hatemngers of others not exactly like themselves.
O wow. Once again English publishers are in the dark ages
blog isn't a word, but a word Sara Palin made up (by ignorance) made it into the OED this year . . . something is wrong
25 left for me been lurking....hi dc, pini, welki, cos, herin, et al.....
koda moment - brb
maybe we should petition the dictionary gods here, if sarah can get in
dcsean ... you out there???
I am reminded...let he without sin cast the first stone....a whole lot of people are so eager to chastise others for what ever reasons they make up...isn't there only one that can judge us????
oops my ignorance, misspelled "Sarah"
Did you know that the JK Rowlings publishers told Jo to publish as a male to keep male readers
ABC News’ Mary Bruce reports: Sarah Palin has officially changed the modern lexicon, one tweet at a time. While one might expect the New Oxford American Dictionary to refudiate the former Alaska governor’s favorite verb, today they embraced it, announcing “refudiate†as the official 2010 word of the year.
well I can't refudiate that!!!!
:-)
I love a good love story. I don't care who the players are.
I think dc went to go cook something....
mpit, how is his job search going??? You know ?
no weiik I'm sorry I don't...he is so bright I'd think many would want him...but sometimes being bright is a threat to those who are a little dim...:o)
my experience is age, ethnic origin, and what pay you're willing to work for
Molly my friend set me up with my b.f 8 years ago as a blind date
yes weiik that too...
oh sorry herin...does he have a white tipped cane???
any babblers in Pittsburg PA area? I'm looking for work there now, wondering what winter is like
No MP.
:D
I drove to Pittsburgh for a concert in January a couple years ago - just a snapshot - it was 20's and windy but no snow
PA is cold in the winter!
hi again everyone!
hi ibda
herin...just joking....*<;o)
Hence the Smile
those blonde genes come out sometimes!!!
It is pretty awesome love story actually
good eve mi'Lady
Hi Pav
and how are you this eve?
yes...I like that symbol...and this one too..<*)))><
Good
ooohh lala Pav. love that cabana boy!
going to ck PAV's pic...looks interesting...
Ak (stupid Oprah)
wowza! that was good for my heart and BP!
*wiping drool of chin* yeah, nice eye candy!
*off*
nice pic PAV!!
I'm on day two of my final week long staycation, and have done two loads (for the dogs bedding), 8 doz p-nut butter cookies (not quite made it into the PB, but I'll come around soon enough, 10 doz oatmeal cookies and now finished 9 doz sugar cookies
Oh Pav, please deliver those to my house so I don't have to bake this year!
Hey...party at Pay's house!!!!!!
*PAV's*
now onto some pineapple upside down cheesecakes, a new fangled pinapple upside down cake (two layers with cream in between) and perhaps some brownies and a mango cheesecake for Thursday din
Stupid Oprah just said that Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone then became Sorcerers Stone. no it was changed for the American Market as a Philosopher is a person that philosophies and a Sorcerer is a magic thing HEAD f'ing desk
Mp and I are having trouble with our typing...that cabana boy has our monkeys thinking other things! lol
the cookies were intended for my neighbor's church children's bus ministries until she told me today, the 9 doz I gave her this morning at Oh-dark 30 were quite enough...
yes...I may be 62 but I'm sure not dead!!!!
age has nothing to do with appreciation of lovely things!
I'll have to check with the icon fellow, but I think delivery of (ahem) *goodies* is extra, for postage and shipping, then the handling and wrapping...
Pav I will eat the cookies
My grandma at 93 still had a twinkle in her eyes at the site of a good looking man!!!
oh Pav that's such a nice thing for you to do.
oh don't wrap HIM!! just send him with the cookies!
*trying to not think about eye candy or cookies* - I have lo4 4 5 8 9 5 6 4 one more, please!!
the rest of the *cookies* are in tubs in the fridge..waiting for delivery
My b.fs Pop at 90 something pinched his wifes butt on her birthday
that's darling....
the poopies were abit miffed since I gave them only a bite of two cookies...total...meanie that I am
lo.14, chiro
lo5/14 that is, chiro
pav did you mean puppies? oh now I get it...
poopies should be glad that got that much. never intentionally gave my critters any human food, especially sugared food
yay! tx lb!
yw
diggin back into the grid so I can finish....
yes, pardon the Queen, but HRH Princess Precious and His Grace , the Duke Joey Tribiani really like p-nut butter cookies and sandwich bites and fingerfuls...and now Joey is overweight...
He goes in Tuesday for his dental work...poor thing...
I haven't starterd yet...playing the puzzle...is it hard?
beware of diabetes in your dogs, Pav. I lost two min pins to diabetes.
some twisty words but he first 100 are fairly easy to get
Pav you seen the puppy cakes you can make?
argh, my T key is wonky.

WooT WooT sallyd!!
You get a 14-day trial for it.
I think ur correct nef..I seem to remember that.
Nef: Yea I thought I remembered being told it back when I first started playing
thanks, dmf. I've been a paid up member for over 5 years and can't remember (and it's a 1 time fee!)
there's a giant panel on my screen (and probably sam's) that reminds us about it :oP
^^^ f before m, nef ;o)
sorry, DFM!~ I can't always type straight
took lurking to realize there's a "bl" combination in the grid. Annoyed that "diameter" isn't in the grid too! I'm not doing so well tonight. haha hi all!
XoD don't worry, about 50% of the people I know get it wrong...
((hugs)) nef..
Hello balletslippers! How are you? Welcome to the grid
ahh, the interesting combination of letters we get in our handles...kinda goes with the ga4! lol

I know, but I'd regret it tomorrow if I don't get sleep!
We can help you finish!!
You'll miss today's fireworks...
"come to the darkside" chiro....
I always wonder how people keep their letters from tangling. My handle is a nick nas** from college and not my initials. Surprisingly, no one else has ever called me this nickna** other than at college
k, just got naos...I'm back in!
MIne is the pet name given to me by my late father-in-law. Many people use it...
haha, thanks for the not-so-subtle hint, chiro

oh right, i knew that....... thanks nef!
ha! had to look up what naos meant...got the pl!
rice cereal mixed with some breast milk. yep Jilly it's all downhill now :-)
JJ, I'd be happy to pass a message along to the boys...
PB for you too chiromomm
hey chiro, try to avoid using grid words in the chat... replace them with (first 2 letters) + length [, points] :o)
thanks...tell them I'm sure I'll be there soon...
going for the solids! watch out for the growth spurts and really ripe diapers! lol
oh and me too - ri4 cereal

thanks jilly! I'm not planning on finishing tonight though. I was supposed to be in bed 30 minutes ago and I'm only at 102 words. Usually the last fifty are the worst for me as well. And without Lickety? Not happening!
I take it no list today? hmmmm, what shall I do, what shall I do....? hmmmm
Got list in my profile balletslippers & PAV3 if you need
jacula has it
thanks minver and jilly! Super helpful!
I shrink babble, put the list on a word document and minimize it so I can work with them side by side
Is nit Ms. Rhodes married still to Richard Marx? Min?
That is how I'm doing it now Jillyjill.Great minds think alike. Yes, Cynthia Rhodes is still married to Mr, Marx
I got excited to find bo4! Then I typed it in and I had apparently already found it earlier.... hahaha
Yep ballet, I was hunting for a word today for 5 minutes before I realized I already had it!
haha, at least I know it's not just me jilly
I tried typing in the same word seven times today :o)
lol dfm!
a's are done..41 to go
(my GM script now keeps stats of what I'm typing into the box...)
Awesome PAV3!
go pav!! You are so much faster than I do...
brb
I keep typing in the wrong words; it's just my spelling is pretty lousy today (I think it's fatigue)
:o/ so far though it hasn't seen my insane ramblings I tend to accidentally make in the box.
did you work today nef?
but then it's only been doing that for this grid and maybe the last hour of last grid (3 words submitted)...
must go put linens on the bed. see you all tomorrow!
b's are done...that 9-er is a twisty sucker
night night lbd!
Niters dawg...stay warm!!

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
Beautiful PAV3!

Congenetal or acquired, cos?
Spanish was never my forte
*-ital, not -etal -.-
acquired. my parents can't either.
but that's never stopped me from doing what i want lol
congenital = born with defect, acquired = lost during some time in your life, cos ;o)
it isn't either then lol
acquired as in genetic
am 5/14, please?
congenital = con (with) + gene + -ital (adjectival)
interesting fact - these who are born Deaf are more likely to be successful than these who become Deaf at an early age.
Oh, nm...
make am5 14s with someone...make peace between
I know this because I went to the world's only University for the Deaf in DC
and pl for the 6
lots of research done there in that field obviously
Thanks, PAV
Congenital defects are easier to adapt to, since your brain has never had that type of input
pav u need to change ur profile to "for women and homos" lol
anything for you cos....brb
woo hoo! :)
May I please have a clue for the bottom left O?
oo8+9
what a newspaper runs when you die.. abbreviated.

G'night, Jilly
Oops! I'm late...
a bit late for din, Cos?
its a snack :)
I'm one to talk...just had a molasses cookie
i didnt feel like going to the store to get chips so i made some
I'll trade some cookies...?
sure!
homemade?
i made p-nut butter, oatmeal and sugar
i think I need some salt in my diet
I had some chips at a bar I went to last Monday...extra thick, made fresh, served with ranch dressing...so good!
there's an older fine dining place here called Durant's...celebrating 60 years...we had their fish and chips last fri for lunch...freshly made chips...but the cod was a bit greasy...
yes i m using ranch dressing
bl 9/78, please?
reddish eyes are bl9
what is it about ranch dressing and potatoes?
Thanks, PAV...can't see a thing tonight!
Jellen, I've had my new glasses (progressives) for about three weeks now, and with a 46inch monitor, you'd think I could see clearly...not so much
<-- is eating dinner... erh, no... lunch... at midnight... o.0
it's lunchtime somewhere dfm...
yeah, but I doubt "It's nine o'clock somewhere..." isn't an excuse that would work if I turn up for work after noon... or later... again...
so you're abit jet lagged!...or your clock set to GMT isn't receiving the right signals?
lo 5/14, the first, please?
Lo5's Run...
Or Lindsay Lo5 with a G instead
add the pl for 6
Thanks, PAV
ma 6/27, the first?
hold things to metal objects...
I should say "attracts" things...like babe ma6 27..or on the refrigerator doors
Thanks, PAV
and pl for 7
I never have enough time to post my cryptic clues :o(
you'll get your chance soon enough...
usually pre-prepared ones... :oP
ma 7/44?
compound word...male + go4 standard...and pl for 8
Thanks, PAV...
ma7/44 (cryptic) A beet is mutilated, we hear.
go4...the yellowish finery
that' a bit of a stretch...but I got it dfm
beaten again :o(
That clue would have baffled me :-)
cryptics are stretches...
"a beet" = definition "mutilated" = meaning of a word that sounds similar
Ahh...thanks for the interpretation...
sc 5/14?
there are 4 x sc5...just change the ending lttr...a d e t
you can a***** or de***** the stairs jellen
Thanks, PAV and beth
