How many words today please

2:43 am

203

Thanks

2:45 am

woah, without looking for the source of the letter for the list, my grid->list script is fast o.0 took only 3 minutes 12 seconds.

2:46 am

(not as awesomely fast as lickety's but much faster than my expectations!)

2:47 am

computer-generated list in my profile, what-I-think-is-a-human-generated list in dee's.

2:48 am

think this one is going to tske me all day

2:51 am

Hello all. Doesn't look like 203 words at all

2:52 am

Hello, lynxxx. I agree, it looks unlikely.

2:53 am

mmm probably going to be a slog then. How is everything over there Haz. Spangle worked out what she is wearing to the wedding yet?

2:54 am

Spangle won't be anywhere near the wedding! She'll be sent on holiday for a few days although we haven't told her yet.

2:55 am

!!! there is going to be tears!

2:55 am

We'll apologise nicely and she'll forgive us.

2:56 am

(glad I pluralled that)

2:57 am

I'm busy with festival stuff at the minute, nearly 1000 entries in and sorting out the programme now.

2:57 am

wow

2:58 am

And that's only for the Speech and Drama section. Fortunately we have a computer programme which helps hugely in getting things sorted.

2:59 am

forgive me, I've forgotten - I know you replaced some-one but will this become 'your' job from now on?

3:01 am

Not for the rest of my life, hopefully! My predecessor was very anti-computer and preferred to write out stuff by hand. She did the job for 16 years. I'd be thinking of maybe 5 at most.

3:14 am

ripping bo7.44! BBS just getting coffee and switching on the lights

3:15 am

I'd hate to have to do the sewing repairs after all those bo7 have been ripped.

3:23 am

I must be off. Maybe see you later. Bye!

3:24 am

anyone still here? I'

3:24 am

just about

3:27 am

I'm perturbed about a "scene" I had with a girl who comes in the library where I work - she's about 12, and tried to sneak out with a whole pile of books, and some under her coat, and called me names when I made her give them up... lied even though it was obvious... wish I knew what to do about her, she's a big problem everywhere she goes.

3:28 am

and her mom always says everyone else is wrong... the little girl wouldn't do such things... :P

3:29 am

can't let her check out books, she never gives them back, we tried it already, and she's had more than one chance.

3:29 am

photograph her and then her mum can't deny it

3:30 am

haha, wish I'd had a camera, such an obvious pile under her coat, and saying "no, no, I don't have any books!"

3:31 am

in fact I had to ban her from the computers, she goes to innapropriate sites, and she had a fit over that, wanted to call the police, I told her to go ahead, I'd show them what she'd been up to.

3:31 am

just a bit steamed about her, I think she won'

3:32 am

won't be allowed back. but there is so little for the kids to do in our town, I feel a bit bad.

3:32 am

better to lose one than one frighten the rest away

3:34 am

oh, most of the kids in town know she's not quite right, they tend to avoid her. Compulsive lying and causing trouble, stealing, lying about collecting money for charities - door to door! and spending it on junk food at the bar.

3:34 am

quite the piece of work!

3:35 am

there's always one

3:35 am

good morning

3:36 am

morning, ruby, pardon my venting, ladies. back to work on the grid, I think. :)

3:39 am

venting is good! especially in this safe place

3:43 am

I just don't have any real training in how to deal with situations like this girl, and it's hard for me to keep calm. I find myself telling her to stop lying so much, and I'm no child psychiatrist, so who knows if I'm stepping out of bounds?

3:44 am

and yay, over halfway! :)

3:44 am

does she go to a school with a psychologist on staff? I don't think that intervening is a bad thing. Obviously, since her mother won't, somebody has to, before she does something terrible

3:47 am

she's in an "alternative" school, not the one in town here. which unfortunately means she's out and back home hours before the rest of the town kids, with nothing to do. I'm sure they have psychologists, they get all the "troublesome" kids.

3:48 am

I think you should have a policeman "stop by". Do you have a cell phone?

3:48 am

yes, and so does she! she whips it out and threatens to call the cops constantly.

3:49 am

tell her to call them!

3:49 am

hi {{ruby}}! :o)

3:49 am

hi {{ruby}}! :o)

3:49 am

and take her photo with yours at the same time, especially with her lumpy coat full of books.

3:49 am

like when I insisted she open her coat and prove she had no books... "don't touch me, I'll call the cops!"

3:49 am

don't know how big your town is, but there must be someone who can help you with this

3:50 am

{{dfm}}

3:50 am

that's when you need a cell phne with a camera

3:50 am

Do't touch her, just take a picture

3:50 am

oh, I wasn't planning to touch her, it's just her usual reaction.

3:53 am

it's a shame to have her spoil the good work you're doing

3:53 am

Last summer I tried putting up a little poster in the post office, with library hours and info on little sheets in an attached pocket, and she stole the whole thing. We know it was her, because she was later seen passing out the schedules and telling everyone she could be found at the library during those hours so they could donate to one of her imaginary charities.

3:53 am

Hello

3:54 am

{{lynxx}}

3:54 am

Very frustrating, the whole thing.

3:55 am

I would be speaking to both her school and your local police station explaining the situation and asking how you should handle it Rosebud

3:55 am

trouble is the more it winds you up the more pleasure she gets out of it

3:55 am

that's true enough Annie

3:56 am

it's terrible that her mother won't help

3:56 am

good point, lynxxx, there is a policeman living right in town, he might take an interest. but I get the impression it won't do any good.

3:57 am

she tells me her mother locks her out of the house until she gets off work, won't let her be home alone. likely because everything would be missing...

3:57 am

entertain...phantom for the day

3:57 am

morning all

3:57 am

At least if she does get too out of control then you have 'pre-warned' appropriate parties

3:57 am

but she could always be lying about that, too.

3:57 am

hello kalia

3:58 am

it sounds like she should be in "care" and on meds

3:58 am

sounds like a good liar! and pity her poor Mother who is probably way out of her depth with this one - easier to turn a blind eye I am guessing

4:00 am

have thought about talking to the mother, strictly about the library aspect, partly hoping to get my books back, lol! I hate when parts of series disappear. :P

4:00 am

how big is your town?

4:01 am

don't really want to become a target.

4:01 am

very small, only about 500 people.

4:01 am

tiny litlle library.

4:01 am

you have to tread very lightly, but also think of your own safety

4:02 am

who do you answer to Rosebud?

4:02 am

just the library board, I'm the "library director", for what that's worth. Also the janitor, haha!

4:03 am

kind of on my own here.

4:04 am

sure seems like this town has a high percentage of unbalanced types.

4:04 am

which must be very gratifying - except for this young person!

4:05 am

I worry for your safety AND your reputation, in such a small town

4:06 am

yes, tired of having to follow her all around when she comes in, and there's no real policy in place for the situation. My own fault, perhaps, I'm supposed to be reviewing the bylaws and writing up announcements concerning things like conduct in the library and consequences for failure to adhere to the rules - but I'm way behind on that.

4:06 am

husband is sick and won't say what's wrong. It is very frustrating, because I can't help him

4:07 am

she is coming in every day Rosebud?

4:07 am

oh, sorry to hear that, ruby, my own is like that when he's ill, too.

4:07 am

he needs his own cave

4:09 am

most days, yes, but usually with other kids. not today, so she took books. she doesn't seem so weird when she has another kid along. behaves a little better then. but none of them hang around with her for long.

4:10 am

can you get another mother to help you. You may need witnesses

4:11 am

one week our dau's boyfriend's kids were here visting him, and this girl kept stealing their bicycles, dau had to go over there constantly to get them back, and the girl stood in the door threatening to call police the whole time. she's just odd.

4:11 am

sounds worse than odd!

4:11 am

could you ask the policeman to 'drop in' when she comes by herself (a quick call when she first comes in) - perhaps a casual conversation with him might put the wind up her

4:12 am

yes, lies even when she's obviously in the wrong, and easily proven to be so!

4:12 am

she is looking for attention and the most important questions is to ask why?

4:13 am

I could try that, but he's often out of town doing his job (county sheriff's police.)

4:13 am

I agree with Ruby.....why hasn't anyone else picked up on this very odd behaviour?

4:14 am

you shouldn't have to deal with this alone

4:14 am

oh, I'm sure they have, but no one wants to get involved. they've sent her off to "the bad kid school", they figure it's handled.

4:14 am

I would, without hesitation, call the police - especially when she threatens to!

4:14 am

agree...school, parents they must have noticed something!

4:15 am

I worry more about you, than the girl

4:15 am

I get the feeling that moving to our town was a sort of hiding-out thing on their part, she probably creates problems everywhere they've lived.

4:16 am

that's a scary idea!

4:16 am

uh oh, I head thumper!

4:16 am

good luck, rbud and *poof*

4:16 am

yes it is scary that parents could do that rather than try to get it sorted

4:16 am

hear*

4:17 am

bye ruby

4:18 am

well, she's not very big, I'm not too scared, but I hate to think of becoming a target for possible vandalism, she hangs around near our house playing on the sledding hill, etc. Eyeing what to steal next, hubby says.

4:19 am

I think I'll talk to some people, maybe the police, or someone down at the school for ideas. but I think if I just don't let her in the door, I'd avoid lots of headaches.

4:21 am

maybe a 'Closed for Cleaning' sign !

4:21 am

yep, get others involved. this dosen't only affect you

4:21 am

she sounds ill to me

4:22 am

I think I'm perfectly within my rights to refuse service to someone for good reason, I just wish I didn't have to.

4:22 am

that's just over half way...got to go clear up this mess in my work room....

4:23 am

bye Kallia

4:24 am

Can I throw in my tuppence worth? I think you should make a note of the incidents, write a letter to the parents indicating that because of these incidents you are going to refuse to allow the girl access to the library without adult supervision as per your library guidelines. Make sure you have the guidelines written first!

4:26 am

rbud, what does the library director have to say.. she should be making the rules

4:27 am

Rosebud is the library director Ivesy - reports to a board

4:28 am

oh was just going to ask that. i know we ban kids from our library for mis conduct. refuse them use of computer etc

4:29 am

The library is very casual, lucky to be open at all with the economy the way it is. They've never really gotten official with guidelines, etc. Same lady ran it for ages, didn't see the need. Now I have to start from scratch, basically, on my own, they'll vote for whatever I suggest, mostly.

4:29 am

I think Rosebud and Ivesy should have some conversations

4:30 am

we are in the process of getting a new director. basically same thing happened. things fell by the way side.

4:30 am

Then find out what other libraries do in terms of guidelines, pinch the general ideas and tailor some so that this problem can be dealt with properly with you feeling that you have the back-up of accepted rules.

4:31 am

rite haz... thats great idea.. now i need coffee bbs

4:31 am

Yes, need to get off my behind and get official, I guess. Someone has to.

4:32 am

but it's so peaceful otherwise, sigh...

4:32 am

I'm all for getting official. Crack the whip, make them toe the line or else show them the door. No more Mrs Nice Guy.

4:33 am

Agreed.

4:34 am

At least I have the well-behaved home-schooled kids to balance out the experience, they actually shush each other and treat it like a real library, love those kids. :)

4:35 am

Not really much patronage, only 60-80 visits per week, mostly twenty-somethings on the computers and dear older ladies checking out books.

4:36 am

Yes, think of this as making sure that those children have a safe and quiet environment. The other girl obviously needs help but it's not help that you're equipped or qualified to give.

4:41 am

That's a good way to view it, I agree. No point in trying to help when I don't have a clue how. The board knows about her, I'm sure they won't blame me for any reason. Unless I lose my temper, which was getting harder today.

4:43 am

Yes, you need to avoid that, it only ends up making you feel out of control.

4:51 am

well, thanks, all, for letting me monopolize the chat and for the good input. :)

4:52 am

Make sure when you're writing the rules - Rule 1, do not interrupt the director when she's playing babble.

4:52 am

lots of good sense from Haz as usual

4:52 am

Hiya everybody!.....

4:52 am

no, no - don't mention Babble in the rules!

4:53 am

hi Flask

4:53 am

Hello, Flask.

4:53 am

heehee! I do play at work sometimes when it's slow!

4:53 am

last thing we need is troublesome teens again!

4:53 am

How are we all???

4:53 am

No, true enough, lynxxx, we don't want the wrong impression to be given.

4:54 am

It's a pretty drippy day here, Flask, what's it like with you?

4:54 am

very well Flask, how is everything way up there?

4:54 am

Very cloudy and dank!!

4:55 am

blech!

4:55 am

Dreich, in other words.

4:55 am

thats it!!!

4:56 am

Very descriptive language, is Scots.

4:57 am

must be - we get enough weird scottish words here - Flask must be a star at Babble!

4:57 am

Aye....

4:57 am

Yes, but they're not weird when you use them regularly.

4:58 am

I reckon there must be about 80 scot. words here today

4:59 am

Ones that you haven't found, you mean?

4:59 am

of course

5:00 am

Well am just starting......so lets hope I find them!

5:00 am

I haven't seen any so far!

5:01 am

any pointers for the 9@s please?

5:01 am

9's

5:01 am

an9 ends with lymphs

5:02 am

an9 - plural of an8, and rh9, a mineral

5:02 am

TY for the rh

5:02 am

rh9 - begin with a Chinese flowering shrub (5) finish with a mineral/hours of darkness ending

5:09 am

Good day all. Haz, you give the best clues. Thanks.

5:09 am

Does the flowering shrub end in RON normally?

5:09 am

Yes. First five letters are used.

5:10 am

Hello, Molly. Glad to help.

5:11 am

Or try, rh, last three letters of the extinct flightless bird, finish with the mineral ending.

5:11 am

mmm smell dinner BBL

5:11 am

Bye, lynxxx.

5:12 am

Morning Haz!

5:12 am

Good morning, FM!

5:12 am

and hello to all and bye to lynxxx.

5:13 am

Good to see you. Hows the Festival prep going?

5:13 am

Hi Mitch.......

5:13 am

Hi Flask :)

5:14 am

It's going okay. I'm declaring entries closed, have done the outline of the programme and waiting for the webmaster to press the button to accept it all ready for printing. I sincerely hope I haven't made too many mistakes.

5:14 am

I am sure you won't have and well done!

5:15 am

Festival prep??....Spring Festival?

5:16 am

It's the town Festival of Music, Dance, Speech and Drama, Flask. I'm the Secretary for the Speech and Drama section. We've had nearly 1000 entries, the majority for the schools section.

5:16 am

It's at the end of February/beginning of March.

5:16 am

and a grand event I am sure it will be

5:17 am

I'll be looking for a darkened room at the end of it.

5:17 am

Very good Haz.....Am impressed, and very good luck with it!!

5:17 am

I've got a badge and everything.

5:17 am

Probably, but it'll all have been worth it!

5:18 am

I must remember to order a new clip-board.

5:18 am

I will send you a bumper pack of the blue and pink pills Haz

5:18 am

Oh, so you really are quite important......!!

5:18 am

I'd appreciate that, FM, I'll need the extra strength ones.

5:19 am

Important? Well, you don't get a badge unless you're really important. It has my name on and everything.

5:20 am

:) shoot gotta go. Cleaner is here and nearly finished and I have a Dr appt at 12.00.

5:20 am

See you later, FM.

5:20 am

Well, at least they'll all know who they are dealing with!!.......But do they know her capabilities?!?!!?!?!?!

5:21 am

bye Mitch!

5:21 am

Haz I can't get that RH word!!

5:21 am

They'll learn when I get the crazed look in my eye that spells danger...

5:21 am

lol....

5:22 am

....and was there ever a clue posted for the 9?

5:22 am

rh9 - r plus three letters for what a bricklayer carries his bricks in, the opposite of off (two letters) then a mixed up gents neckwear.

5:22 am

odes

5:24 am

The rh is a 9, the other one is an9 - four for againt, five for what goes with lymph - (put an n in front of your last poetic word there)

5:24 am

*against

5:24 am

at last, got it!!!

5:24 am

Well done!

5:25 am

..took me long enough!

5:25 am

5:25 am

You got there in the end.

5:25 am

5:26 am

You're in a sharing mood today.

5:26 am

...it would seem so..

5:28 am

did u say the other 9 was an AN word?

5:28 am

Yes, clued just below at 5.24.

5:31 am

oh my!!!.....Got it first go!!

5:32 am

Well done! And if you break it down, there are quite a few words within.

5:33 am

Hello, sue.

Good day to all.

Hello, Scrabbler.

5:38 am

hi scabs

5:38 am

We are having a heat wave today. It's 23 F now and was minus 8 24 hrs ago.

5:39 am

Quite a change in temperature!

5:40 am

4 miles south of me it was minus 15 yesterday morning.

Scrabbler is in the same sharing mood as Flask.

5:41 am

oops scrabbler

5:41 am

NOOOOOO! Not while Haz is here! I am in big trouble now. *racing to the PB*

I don't suppose you'd care to concentrate a bit more on the vowel tiles, scrabbler? ...

5:42 am

Free clues! Get them while they last.

5:42 am

on the naughty chair for you

5:42 am

well, I just saw the volcano and it's reverse.

5:43 am

an 7/28 plz

5:43 am

That's no excuse.

5:43 am

Hi Scrabbler.....and thanx!

5:43 am

an7/28 - to be against oxygen

5:43 am

I wouldn't have minded if it had been a few that I didn't have lol

5:43 am

City, I must be on my bestest behavior now.

5:43 am

scab, if those where clues, your partner has an easy life for gifts

5:43 am

oh ty !

5:44 am

perfect timing for me! i just signed in!

5:44 am

I just started, Annie, and I don't have Babble Expert installed on this notebook.

5:44 am

My partner George Clooney?

5:44 am

so that is a word, but ai*ho4 isnt?

5:44 am

You're welcome, ivesy.

5:44 am

I have never had it so have a struggle

5:44 am

that would be him

drats, scrabbler, but thanks for pointing out the very large volcano, which I'd somehow missed...

5:45 am

what is babble expert

5:45 am

A software program, free from Lickety Split, that makes doing Babble so much easier. E-mail him--find his name on his list.

5:46 am

mmm sounds interesting

5:46 am

Unfortunately, there is no Lickety list today, so the expert programme isn't quite as useful as usual.

5:46 am

it is wonderful!!!

5:47 am

lickety hasn't been on since saturday

5:47 am

It is indeed, a wonderful timesaver.

5:47 am

It has one entry box and if one word is typed and entered it automatically goes to the list, if 2 or more words are entered it goes to the chat. And entered grid words go right on to the clue list.

5:48 am

wow I must have that

5:48 am

are there any other oxygen words?

5:49 am

BRB, I must grab breakfast.

5:49 am

Take one vowel out of that an7 for an6.

5:50 am

ty

5:50 am

No words begin with oxygen.

5:53 am

TY for an6

5:54 am

You're welcome, Scrabbler. Quite a few babblets are scattered throughout the grid.

5:54 am

This grid is tougher than I expected for 200 words.

5:55 am

It takes a bit of working at, not too many sequences available.

5:57 am

ur7 - the Queen's text message to the latest Sir.

5:58 am

The latest Sir? As in who was most recently knighted?

5:58 am

(It's an anagram of ur7 - to pass ur5/12)

5:58 am

Yes, Scrabbler. Switch round the vowels in the passing ur5 one.

5:59 am

I got it! Great clue!

6:00 am

Well done!

6:00 am

hi all, been forever!:)

6:01 am

And the final ur7 ends in what you use to smell.

6:01 am

Hi Lynn! Where have you been?

6:01 am

Hello, Lynn, it has indeed.

6:01 am

Thanks again, Haz.

6:01 am

busy busy busy 4 lil girls now

6:02 am

How old are they?

6:02 am

No problem, Scrabbler. I must go and get some other things done. For those who would need/want a list, Volleymomdee has one in her profile.

6:02 am

12 9 2 1

6:02 am

Bye Haz, thanks for all the great clues.

6:03 am

And I must pull myself away in a few moments to shower and leave for work.

6:03 am

See you again, Lynn. Bye for now and you're welcome, Molly.

6:03 am

Lynn, I remember that you having a premie, so that must be the 2 yr old.

6:03 am

12, 9, 2, 1 bye

6:04 am

yes

6:04 am

she is still tiny but wow what a mouth for a 2 year old soon to be three in 2 weeks :)

6:04 am

2 young adolescents + 2 toddlers--yikes!

6:05 am

yes ik ugh somedays i wanna run away lmao

6:05 am

I agree, that's a handful Lynn.

6:05 am

At 80/123 I must move on.

6:06 am

Have a good day Scrabs.

6:06 am

I had 4 boys in 5 years and that was hard

6:06 am

Lynn, be tough, be overprotective, be calm, because girls suck their mothers into their emotional drama.

6:08 am

Boys don't have all of the drama, but there are other issues. I think raising any kid these days is so scary, esp during adolescence--so much temptation, so many risks.

6:09 am

my profile pic is my preemie she is so girly girl lol

6:09 am

ugh ik scrabb

6:09 am

CUtie!

6:10 am

Bye!

7:28 am

((Boo)) good morning

7:29 am

Aloy - I was in Punta Gorda last week - I was going to e-mail you and try to get together, but my dad had the week stuff with things to do. Didn't have the heart to tell him no. He's 82.

7:30 am

Morning Trentsnana

7:31 am

good morning, mom

7:31 am

bless his heart .. you had some up and down weather, but hope there were enough warm days to enjoy.. we did Peace River canoe trip and Fakahatchee Swamp hike

7:32 am

we did fine - on Wednesday - the nicest day - we went kayaking around Matlacha Island

7:32 am

They are right along the Peace River

7:33 am

Went to Fisherman's Village to shop and also to a flea market in Ft. Myers on Friday.

7:33 am

It was always in the 70's, though, and that helped to get rid of the cold I had!

7:34 am

Did you see any gators on your hike?

7:35 am

one of the prettiest rivers I know.. have been on it a lot.. we go to local flea market on Taylor Rd., Sat. morning.. also the farmers mkt on Sat. am.. were you there for the Sullivan Street fair or was that the week before.. no gators on hike but HUGE prints/tracks.. we stuck to the trail with a botanist.. saw a giant alligator on the banks of the river tho

7:36 am

No, I don't remember seeing a Sullivan Street fair - must've been the week before. I kept looking for gators everywhere we went, but didn't see any. You sure are in a very lovely area!

7:37 am

well, c'mon back soon.. will take you on a "gator hunt".. we have lots and lots of them along Shell creek and Myrtle Slough

7:38 am

I don't know if they are going to rent there again next winter or not. If they do, maybe I'll be back! Being in Montana, once my hubby retires, we will probably go to the southwest in the winter for warm weather!!

7:38 am

Hello. anyone have a clue for an7/28 please?

7:38 am

Hi Scouser

7:38 am

{{{yaaawwwn]]] Morning, Babblers!

7:57 am

Car. good morning, how is your son?

7:58 am

now why isnt airhose a good word - good morning all - just got a couple minutes but wanted to say Hi

7:58 am

Health wise he is fine. Had an emotional break down this morning, the father and I decided to keep him home, now he is running around like nothing is wrong in the world. GRRRRRR. Call in to the guidance counselor...waiting to hear back.

7:58 am

Hi River!

7:58 am

And Good Morning Mom!

7:59 am

((River)) good morning

7:59 am

oh Car. bless his heart and yours

7:59 am

how old is he?

7:59 am

good morning, river

7:59 am

8

8:00 am

I just know he is precious

8:00 am

miserable ride into work - cars all over the road - saw one on its roof on the overpass - scary

8:00 am

Oh my River! Be careful!

8:00 am

oh dear, River. Glad you made it safely

8:00 am

all for 2 inches of snow...

8:01 am

expecting another foot of snow tomorrow night - cant wait....

8:01 am

He is precious!

8:01 am

oh boy, river

8:01 am

However, he is trying my patience today. He needs to be at school.

8:01 am

oh well - need to get my breakfast and work....see you all later

8:02 am

bye River

8:02 am

((car)) kids certainly do that...have a better day - bye all

8:02 am

bye river

8:02 am

can't you bundle him up and take him now

8:03 am

Bye River.

8:04 am

Mom...I am horrible at the physical wrangling. I am huge and big, but have no strength. I always get kicked in the face or poked in the eye.

8:04 am

I honestly would like nothing more than to "force" him to get dressed and in the damn car, but I don't know how to do it.

8:04 am

oh dear, Car.

8:05 am

wish there was something I could do to help

8:05 am

if I lived close, we could hog tie him

8:06 am

I don't want to be a wimp or cave-in as a parent. I have to take my mom to the doctor's later, and he has to come with, so I am thinking maybe just drive to the school and pull him out of the car.

8:06 am

and quite possibly as soon as he got into school he would settle down and get on with his day

8:07 am

EXACTLY!!!!

8:07 am

I want him to know that this won't fly with me.

8:07 am

any hints on the first column u (near the bottom) or the o on the bottom, center?

8:07 am

but I don't want him to go to school with bruises or tell everyone that I smacked him around.

8:08 am

oh dear

8:08 am

not yet Trentsnana.

8:08 am

k, ty

8:10 am

o is like US state w/ diff last vowel

8:14 am

not sure how you can tell which O. don't they both work for these?

8:14 am

8:14 am

rather, only one will be accepted - lol

8:15 am

((Car.)) I feel for you

good morning babblers :)

8:15 am

8:16 am

I'm OK Mom. Just have to establish who is the boss here. I am hoping the guidance counselor will call soon. I think dumping his butt at school is the best way to go. I am getting very angry that he is playing with his brother and friend like nothing is wrong.

8:16 am

never knew that was a word - my new word for the day

8:16 am

TY Nono!

yw no to find that u

8:17 am

I hope so too, Car.

8:18 am

9:03 am

hello everybody

9:04 am

howdy everyone ((ruby))

hi Ruby

hi Crossy

9:05 am

howdy nono

9:05 am

{{crossy}}

9:05 am

hello no no

Crossy, any warmer today? It sure is here

all the way up to 24 above F

9:06 am

this has been a horrible day. started out with husband sick and then y Ruby disappeared for a couple of hours. I was driving around the village like a crazy person and she finally just showed up in front of the house.

9:06 am

much warmer here from almost 30 below all the way to just a degree below freezing

9:07 am

that is, inside a locked gate and a totally hedged and fenced-in property

9:07 am

I have probably gone up and down 50 flights of stairs

oh gosh ruby so you suppose she was just hiding someplace?

9:07 am

:(( poor ruby

9:07 am

she acted like it was a big joke

9:08 am

she wasn't cold, so I can't imagine where she was

9:08 am

and husband acted so sick I called his doctor who said there was nothing serious wrong

maybe she was visiting with the neighbors

9:08 am

I think two Academy Awards should be delivered to my door!

9:09 am

hubby have the flu ruby?

9:09 am

I don't think so and doctor didn't either. He is just exhausted, somehow, and has been sleeping off and on all day. Scary!

9:10 am

He perked up when the doctor came, but went back to sleep immediately after

can anyone clue me the first re18 plz?

maybe some sort of vitamin deficiency

9:11 am

my f.i.l suffered a serious shoulder injury at 77 years of age and he was never the same afterwards,slept 12-15 hours a day

9:11 am

part of the eye, sandie

9:11 am

he took him off his anti-cholesterol meds as he has gotten very skinny

9:11 am

do not know the why of it though

and then the latin pl for a 7 sandy

got that one Ruby. There is a one before that which seems to follow what you steer a horse with

9:12 am

it is sad to see but at his age (85), I guess these things shouldn't be surprising

9:12 am

my f.i.l was a walking skeleton dropped to 85-90 pounds

9:13 am

sorry sandie, that was all I had

9:13 am

there's an ra6/18 though

9:13 am

reading back on rbuds library problems:((

9:56 am

i wish she was here,i could help...been there,done that as it were;0

crossy do you always read back thru the chog?

9:57 am

nope,hardly ever

9:57 am

maybe you could offer advice and she might be a chog reader?

9:57 am

perhaps, well here goes....

9:58 am

i was very nuch like the little girl that rbud speaks of.i was a latchkey kid and had to wait for da to get home and since i have always loved book,the library was a natural place to go....

9:59 am

hi all i have a job interview by phone in 2 minutes do I look okay?

you look spectacular jmc

9:59 am

gorgeous, jmc

9:59 am

i was a bad bugger with stealing books and causing general problems and i can imagine they were pulling their hair out just like our rbud is....

9:59 am

no spinach in my teeth or anything?

9:59 am

just a little mustard lol

not that I can see, not even a hair out of place

10:00 am

crossy a bad bugger surely not!

10:00 am

hope you returned them eventually, crossey

10:00 am

*wipes mustard off face*

10:00 am

okay here i go!

10:00 am

*poof*

10:00 am

i also lived in a small town and the library only saw 50-100 visitors per day and not many children so what they did was....

10:00 am

looks great jmc

10:01 am

they instituted a afterschool childrens reading club and the librarian took me aside (i was 12 at the time) and said that they knew i loved books and would i be interested in reading to a group of 6-10 year olds for a hour after school

10:02 am

sounds good crossy but our library in our little town has been taken over by the homeless and no way to get rid of them

10:02 am

Oh, she was a smart lady crossy!

10:02 am

that is very sad Sea

10:02 am

well,that got me attention,and along with my love of books changed everything and solved the problem..i read to those kids every day till i was 16 or so

10:02 am

hello again - what a wise librarian you met up with crossy,

10:02 am

10:02 am

Crossy that was a wonderful idea!

10:03 am

and changed what could of been a very bad situation

10:04 am

and did you get dramatic and use inflections, etc?

10:04 am

you must have been good to last so long

10:05 am

lol,not at first,i was shy but i embraced it later on..all those kids looking at me with big wide eyes waiting for the next chapter lol

10:06 am

I read to my 2 year old granddaughter and now as soon as she comes in she says, "Lets go read"

10:06 am

4 years rading to kids for the after school book club and by then the worst of where i could of ended up was past me

10:06 am

fantastic.. it is a wonder you didn't become a lit teacher

10:06 am

Sounds like that lady was an angel in disguise crossy

10:07 am

she was sharp as a tack as they say

10:07 am

and library use increased greatly.moms and dads would pick the kids up there when they were done work and everyone was happy

10:09 am

the big books for the kids that age then were nancy drew and hardy boys lol and i could always and the day on a cliffhanger with those books lol

10:10 am

everyone would moan and groan and they were early the next day lol as fast as they could run from the school to the public library lol

10:12 am

get everyone settled,one hour of reading,then it was suddenly 5 o,clock and the moms and dads were there to get the kids

10:13 am

10:21 am

Scrabbler - Chinese flowering shrub - use just the first five letters (it ends in dendron, if that's any help)

10:22 am

well those c's were easy. now for the rest.

10:22 am

You're welcome, macadam - I think your eyes just get blind to the obvious ones, it happens to all of us.

10:22 am

i prefer grids with more consinent than vowels. gee how do you spelll consenents? consanent????

10:22 am

consonant

10:22 am

Oh, I know that shrub, didn't know it was Chinese.

10:23 am

reclue the rh 9 again please

10:23 am

The Chinese are responsible for most things these days, we'll blame them for the shrubs as well.

10:24 am

rh9 - rh, last three letters of the extinct flightless bird, finish off with hours of darkness, American style.

10:24 am

i am trying for the chinese shrub and i know what it is but dont see two d's in grid.

10:24 am

You just need to use the first five letters, mkg, or try the alternative clue below.

10:25 am

thanks Haz - hello everyone

10:25 am

Hello, Riverdance.

10:25 am

hi River

10:25 am

ty. got it.

10:25 am

hi River

10:25 am

what is other 9 please?

10:26 am

The other 9 is an9 - a plural for an8 - begins with the against prefix.

10:26 am

does anyone know what is up with lickety? Hope all is OK.

10:26 am

also would love a clue for the u word for bottom u.

10:27 am

Probably on vacation

10:27 am

have against prefix but then what?

10:27 am

hi River

10:27 am

work is calling - bbl

10:27 am

2 4 letter words our volcano and just reverse it

10:28 am

got the other 9. ty.

10:28 am

and an 8.

10:28 am

Find the word that means a knotlike mass in tissue (think lymph) add it and then plural for the 9.

10:28 am

any clues for other 8s?

10:28 am

There are two so8 words.

10:28 am

ty haz

10:28 am

TY for no8 and 9

10:29 am

the so8 words are closely related; just change the last vowel

10:29 am

One looks like a combination of a musical term and Miss Turner.

10:29 am

The other looks like a combination of a musical term and a fork prong.

10:29 am

no 8 and 9? huh? i dont have an no 9.

10:29 am

They differ from each other only in the final vowel.

10:29 am

Great clues!

10:30 am

sy for the so 8,s;)

10:30 am

an8/40 - begin with the against prefix, then mix up the letters of the wet stuff that falls from the sky.

10:30 am

ty

10:30 am

ibid not in dict????????? fu7nny

10:30 am

clue for ae 7 please

10:31 am

ae8 - relating to a long time, make the ae4 into an adjective

10:31 am

And don't forget the less posh version, eo6/18

10:32 am

TY, TY!

10:32 am

That should be ae7 rather than ae8 - sorry!

10:33 am

ty Scrab

10:33 am

Haz, my new love is Rupert Penry-Jones. I have been watching the DVD sets of Spooks (I'll finish season 7 soon) and adore that man.

10:33 am

haz not ge4tting the an 8. darn. is it the against with an i or e at end?

10:34 am

it's an i. definition is the point on an oscillating string with the largest amplitude (sorry, physicist!)

10:34 am

The against prefix ends in i, the 'before' prefix ends in e. This is the against one. Against, then first letters of Mr Onassis, finish with a consonant.

10:34 am

ty for all the wonderful clues haz

10:34 am

got the 8 haz. ty.

10:35 am

now for that ae 8. still trying. what is ending? have beginning.

10:35 am

but for some reason I can't turn the ae4 into an adjective :-(

10:36 am

mkg its only a 7 add 2 vowels and a cons.

10:36 am

uusue, do you love "The Big Bang Theory?" I just discovered that TV show and have been watching all prior seasons.

10:36 am

got it nanette. ty.

10:37 am

scrabbler, I haven't watched it much but it looks really cute. I can identify with some of the characters (and not always the female ones!)

10:37 am

ae7 - Use Scots John or Mr Fleming of Bond Fame for the ending.

10:37 am

good morning everyone.. would someone be kind enough to clue the an 7

10:37 am

an7 - being against the use of oxygen

10:37 am

I am quite a nerd and geek, esp with math and science, so I just love those 4 guys.

10:37 am

hi ruru

10:37 am

GM Ruru!

10:37 am

Phone..

10:37 am

hi ruru

10:38 am

Haz cannot answer the phone when she is providing clues. *harumph*

10:39 am

thank you

10:39 am

hi Ruru

10:40 am

are there 2 ab 4/6's

10:40 am

yes boo

10:40 am

ok

10:41 am

holy cow 36 b's

10:41 am

So, Lickety must be on vacation? And Babblers Anonymous hasn't updated for today. How the heck can I cheat?

10:42 am

there is a list in my profile Regality

10:42 am

Someone must have posted a list somewhere

10:42 am

copied it from VolleyDee

10:42 am

volleymom has one

10:42 am

Thanks.

10:43 am

yw

10:43 am

go under rankings and find her name

10:43 am

my niece would love your icon, boobear. at 15 months, she has decided she is very into owls.

10:44 am

ty

10:44 am

My sister likes them to

10:44 am

off to teach - bbl -

10:45 am

every book she has of animals with an owl, that is the page she wants to look at. so i sent her a book that is all owl pictures, and a couple of storybooks involving owls, and a stuffed owl. she is in owl heaven.

10:46 am

Oh good grief! I didn't get into owls til a was a big girl! Morning all

10:46 am

wow, that was some bad sentence structure.

10:46 am

Mine wasn't any better

10:47 am

yours was fine. you just have a typo, which is easy to read around.

10:47 am

i do not worry about structure,i find talking endlessly in one breathless line of unbroken text keeps things exciting:)

10:47 am

ok - :D

10:48 am

oscillating string with the most amplitude???????

10:48 am

well it IS very mysterious why a child so young would be SO interested in owls. the only other animals she shows a similar level of interest in are cats and maybe dogs, cause she has seen them in real life. the owl thing is inexplicable. but i figure it should be encouraged.

10:49 am

I'll have to take a picture of some of my current collection and post it here. Left 3x as much in NY when I left

10:49 am

any reading,no matter how topic specific should be encouraged;0

10:50 am

with my son at that age it was honey bees

10:50 am

Crossy - If you saw my place and Woulfs you'd know I read to him!!!

10:50 am

had to know every last thing about them lol

10:51 am

He got his library card at 2!

10:51 am

Hursh, maybe her totem animal is an owl.

10:51 am

:))

10:51 am

perhaps,mine is a wolf and i knew that at a young age

10:51 am

Hi Hurshy. How have you been?

10:52 am

Oops, gotta go.

10:52 am

i'm ok... waiting to hear about a possible improvement in job situation, and don't know when i WILL hear.

10:52 am

Hi Molly

10:54 am

And I'm back for a few minutes.

10:55 am

is this a hardish grid or is my brain just not working at its best today?

10:55 am

i am 80 words in and slowing;(

10:55 am

it is ^%$&^$&^%

10:55 am

done, so off to chores.. thought this was semi-tough, hurshy

10:55 am

*Crosses fingers for Hursh*

10:55 am

Hi everybody. I was just reading in chat to see what your niece was fascinated in and how old she is, hursh. Do you suppose it's because owls have big eyes? (Thinking about how babies focus on faces and esp. eyes)

10:55 am

It's a grid stuffed full of babblets and long forgotten words.

10:55 am

easy to get to 3/4, but a bear after that

10:55 am

babblets i can handle better than long-forgotten.

10:56 am

it is nasty

10:56 am

And of course there are some which were never known to man before.

10:57 am

thanks for all the great clues, and thanks to Dee too.. hope Lickety is on vacation and having a great time with mrp and family.. poofsie

10:57 am

Hello All :)

10:57 am

quite a number of those I'd think, Haz

10:57 am

Bye Aloy.

10:57 am

why won't it take india and indian? Never heard of ink? Afraid it will insult someone like kike, cunr, shit, etc

10:57 am

bye Aloy

10:58 am

hurshy, see if you like a royal clue. ur7/32, the Queen's text message to the newest Sir.

10:58 am

I need a vacation......

10:58 am

oh haz! would the queen ever resort to text speak???

10:59 am

Never! This is only in my imagination.

10:59 am

*Chuckling at the idea of The Queen texting*

11:00 am

we are not amused;)

11:00 am

Apparently she does text and e-mail but I do hope she punctuates nicely.

11:01 am

Is that Queen Elizabeth..she rocks

11:01 am

now thats a visual...the Queen riding along the roads of London texting away hehe

11:01 am

lol sadie

11:02 am

Yes, I always forget to qualify her as Queen Elizabeth. There's more than one Queen in the world.

11:02 am

wouldn't she have someone to text FOR her?

11:02 am

i didnt think of that but actually any queen lol

11:02 am

No, apparently one does it oneself.

11:02 am

lol i was thinkin the same thing hurshy

11:03 am

If I were Queen, I'd get someone to text for me because I am abominably slow.

11:03 am

thats what i used to like about the queen mother.if she got it into her head to go to the nearest pub for a pint,off she would go lol

11:03 am

lol Haz

11:03 am

I have yet to understand the fascination with texting

11:03 am

if i were Queen, i would get someone to text for me because i don't like it. and i would fire them if they didn't use My English.

11:04 am

I have never been able to use that predictive text thing. It never guesses properly.

11:05 am

that just shows that you don't have a run-of-the-mill mind.

11:06 am

Maybe, or maybe it thinks I'm bound to want to say something more interesting.

11:06 am

Just watch out for autocorrect...http://damnyouautocorrec t.com/

11:06 am

i refuse to believe THAT

11:07 am

bosc is a kind of pear... i suppose it is considered a proper noun.

11:07 am

Hello, Babblers. *sniff sniff* Sick again today. So bored. Thank goodness for Babble & Babble chat.

11:08 am

I have been here all day,, and I still have only 1 x 8 word!

11:08 am

Hello, sniffy Judi.

11:08 am

Which do you have, Flask?

11:08 am

any help please??

11:08 am

poor judi:(

11:08 am

everyone in here is getting sick on me;(

11:09 am

I'm calling it "flu denial syndrome".

11:09 am

did you get the shot judi?

11:09 am

I have an8

11:09 am

now here is one i really don't understand. in some early 20th century british books, dieting is referred to as "banting". we have so many more outdated words in here... but not bant (nor even banting, if you speculate that perhaps the verb cannot take that form)!

11:09 am

so8/40 - run together Beethoven's Moonlight with Miss Turne.

11:10 am

so8/40 - run together Beethoven's Moonlight with a fork prong.

11:10 am

(Miss Turner of Ike and **** fame)

11:10 am

I did get a flu shot in October. Hence, flu denial.

11:10 am

thanks haz

11:10 am

Cracking So8 clue, Haz.

11:11 am

an8/40 - the against prefix for four, mixed up letters of wetness from the sky for the other four.

11:11 am

Helena, your icon photo gives me the giggles. I've never seen a rectangular cat before.

11:11 am

Oh, good, glad it worked, Judi.

11:12 am

haha, he loves to sit like that with his back legs out... he's special

11:12 am

well then what's the other nine (besides the pl of an8/45)?

11:12 am

or an8/40 - an plus first four letters of the princess type jewelled headgear, finish with the opposite of out.

11:12 am

rh9 - a mineral

11:13 am

whew, wouldn't have thought of THAT by myself!

11:13 am

I'd have worried about you if you had.

11:14 am

you must worry about ata a lot then.

11:14 am

now I have 3 x 8's

11:14 am

I can scarcely get to sleep at night!

11:15 am

2 xan's......1 x so8

11:15 am

i need a word from the a in the second column please

11:15 am

Flask, there are two so8 - the only difference is in the final vowel.

11:16 am

an5/10 - the leaning babblet

11:16 am

just any old word? no ifs, an4, or buts

11:16 am

now i am just needing an i for nbt:)

11:16 am

really? then help me with the lower U.

11:17 am

ur5/12 - think poison (there are two ur5/12 ending in different vowels)

11:17 am

many of the lower u,s have to do with pee-pee

11:17 am

*groan* i SHOULD have got that.

11:18 am

but thanks, that leaves only one more U.

11:18 am

why is the chog lagging today

11:19 am

crossy - watch your language lol

11:19 am

nbt for crossy:))

11:19 am

i keep thinking there is -tion

11:19 am

Three ur7.

11:20 am

ok, well i have the two that are anagrams of each other.

11:20 am

I see we're still without Lickety. Hope everything is okay where they are down under.

11:20 am

Then there's the one that runs together the waste product and the organ of smell.

11:20 am

thanks!

11:21 am

Still no Lickety but lists available on Volley's profile and I think flosey's as well.

11:21 am

You're welcome, hurshy.

11:23 am

clue for au 5

11:23 am

thanx Haz!......now for the 7's

11:23 am

au5 - au plus the first letters of what you use to control/steer a horse.

11:24 am

Only 20 of them, Flask....

11:25 am

lol.......I know.....I have 3 already!

11:25 am

You're on your way.

11:26 am

any stats for the 7's please???

11:26 am

I copied the list to my prfile so you don't have to go searching.

11:27 am

Or could somebody please email the list to me please??

11:28 am

there are 3 te7/28's that I've found so far

11:29 am

Let me see if I can work out how to do it, Flask. It might be even more taxing than texting.

11:29 am

IN my profile

11:29 am

ru7 - to make a mess of something

11:31 am

gooooood evening fellow babblers xxx

11:31 am

taxing texting

11:31 am

Going to try now, Flask, it's an attachment in Word.

11:32 am

when i was a child, if you had told me that i would someday be able to say, "hello, frogface," and not have it be an insult, i probably would not have believed you. :)

11:32 am

ok thanks!

11:32 am

what is the bottom O?

11:33 am

clue for an 7 please

11:33 am

There - check your e-mail, it'll be in junk folder most likely.

11:34 am

od7/32

11:34 am

"Hello Frogface" doesn't make me laugh as much as "Hi Boob" (how one poster greets Boobear)

11:34 am

an7 - against use of oxygen

11:34 am

thank you again haz!

11:34 am

hi molly and thank you for talking to me lol xxx

11:35 am

You're welcome.

11:35 am

77 words down and just reached NBT. Thanks Haz

11:36 am

eb7...short for black + not day

11:36 am

You're welcome, Nef. I haven't had the time or inclination to clue for a while.

11:36 am

ty Molly

11:37 am

everything ok, haz, or just a mood?

11:38 am

Just wondering... have Lickety & Mr. P been affected by the crazy flooding in Australia?

11:38 am

you are good at cluing, haz!

11:38 am

I would doubt it Judi, I believe they live far away from the flood areas

11:39 am

Just very busy and not in the right frame of mind, hurshy.

11:39 am

Well, that's a relief, Nef.

11:39 am

T's and B's are the hardest, i have decided.

11:40 am

It's possible that they have friends and family in that area though. I have a nurse friend down there who wasn't affected but her family was

11:40 am

I have it Haz!....Thanx very much!!

11:41 am

bottom left u?

11:41 am

Great, Flask, hope it's helpful.

11:41 am

clue for an 8/45

11:41 am

hurshy, that's because there are more of them than any other letters?

11:42 am

Babble doesn't like pop culture today. "Doobie" not accepted.

11:42 am

Oh yes it is.....

11:42 am

not completely. the A's are less bad.

11:42 am

and the R's are less bad also.

11:43 am

Okay, I have to go to make some food. Have a good day and enjoy the grid!

11:43 am

an 8/45 = against a lump? ;-)

11:43 am

Bye, Haz!

11:43 am

my bread and soup from scratch are very very good.

11:43 am

bye!

11:44 am

i am definitely against lumps.

11:44 am

a lump

11:44 am

thanx again Haz!....and byeee

11:44 am

haha, cute clue nef

11:45 am

ur 5/12 uses the bottom u and the top u for both of those words. Only the last letter (a vowel) is different

11:47 am

how comes terran isnt in the dictionary although it means human being?

11:47 am

are there a lot of words that start with "against"?

11:48 am

it's a picky dictionary, frogface. It doesn't like a lot of words I know!

11:48 am

lots, Helen

11:48 am

still stuck on an 8/45

11:49 am

I'm missing one U word. I have ur5 x 5, ur7 x 2 and ur4. What do I need?

11:50 am

Boo, do you have the medical term for a lump or growth? put the against word in front of it

11:51 am

yes just found it

11:51 am

ty nef

11:51 am

ur 7 X3, Judi

11:52 am

Got it. Monkies to the rescue.

11:56 am

yeah for the monkies

11:57 am

Dang! I want to make it to half way, but my monkeys seem to have taken a lunch break! I can't find anything right now (with 5 words to half way)

11:58 am

1:47 pm

hi LWG and cdd and anyone else I may have missed

1:47 pm

what type of flu do you have, sprite? I got the shot for the flu (as usual) but have been dealing with some sort of stomach stuff the past several days. Don't know if it's something I ate or a bug or what....

1:47 pm

clue for the second ba 6/24 please

hi sprite

1:48 pm

I have the one that is going around here, with severe coughing and stomach issues.

1:49 pm

Ewww! sounds miserable, sprite.

the only ba6 i have is the one that means to kid around

1:49 pm

ty

1:50 pm

yeah it is. Will be glad once this is over!

1:50 pm

Hello all. I was called for jury duty and then was excused so I have an afternoon free to Babble.

1:50 pm

I hope you'll feel better soon too

1:50 pm

hi wht, gratz

1:50 pm

Boo, small talk?

1:50 pm

the other ba 6 is a name for a tree

1:51 pm

lucky you wht

1:51 pm

hi wht

1:51 pm

hi wht. Having a free day is nice

1:51 pm

ty boo

1:51 pm

yw

1:51 pm

thanks Boo

1:52 pm

do we know whats up with lickety?

1:52 pm

yw

1:52 pm

sorry I don't

1:52 pm

not so far, Kaz

1:52 pm

ba tree?????

1:52 pm

If I had been picked, it would have been for a two week murder trial. Babbling is a much better alternative.

1:52 pm

how did you get to be excused, wht?

1:53 pm

They had filled the jury before they got to me.

1:54 pm

By about 4 people.

1:54 pm

ah wonderful. Glad you don't have to sit through all that ugliness.

1:54 pm

I would love to be picked for jury duty. So far I've never been picked; but both of our kids have been! Our daughter was actually picked for jury duty at college and here at home in 1 year!

1:55 pm

I was picked for a jury a couple years ago - aggravated sexual assault case - we put him away - its not an easy thing to do

1:55 pm

must be really tough

1:55 pm

cwestern it is an Indian fig tree

1:55 pm

The way they work it here is that you get called for one day or one trial, so if you don't get selected you are cone for three years. If you are selected then you serve for just that one trial.

1:56 pm

thanks Boo

1:57 pm

its one of those words that is hard to clue

1:57 pm

River, that would have been hard. I have only served on one jury and that was for a civil case. The trial lasted 2 weeks but it was fascinating.

1:57 pm

Here you serve for a month. Jury pull on the first Monday pulls juries for the next two weeks. Then you go back the 3rd Monday for another draw. If not picked you are done. You cannot serve here again for 2 years.

1:58 pm

it was very emotional wht - both in the courtroom and deliberation room

1:58 pm

I think that that is how they do it here also wht. But with my dtr.; she was away at school and voted there but came home and was on the voting records here too and got called. I don't think that they cross checked any records. (She was excused after a day for each of the trials as the juries were filled)

2:00 pm

I really need Lickety *sniff*

2:00 pm

I bet. What I found hardest was not being able to talk about the case until deliberations began. That must have been even worse to have heard so much emotional testimony and not be able to process it with anyone.

2:00 pm

I miss Lickety too, River.

2:00 pm

yes you are right there wht - 4 days of testimony first

2:01 pm

don't cry River.. It will be ok

2:01 pm

VolleyMomDee has a list, River

2:01 pm

who has a list posted for today?

2:02 pm

thanks Nef - I got it from her yesterday but didnt get it until I had only 19 left. Today is a whole different story. Takes way too long that way - especially when I am at work - which I should be getting back to - will have to wait until I get home

2:03 pm

off I go to be a responsible employee - happy babbling everyone

2:03 pm

bye Riverdance

2:03 pm

bye, River.

2:03 pm

bye River

2:03 pm

2:32 pm

I'm still missing the bottom one for nbt

2:32 pm

2:40 pm

did u get rid of your earworm last night scrabs?

2:40 pm

an8 = prefix for against + lymph no4, then pluralize

2:40 pm

9s are rh9 mineral source of element #45 (I think it's 45 at least) an9 (of a tube) where (usu. so5) interference is most constructive

2:40 pm

the 8 and9 words that i have are all based on the an 4/4

2:41 pm

Yes, Carlee. I swear, when I walked up to bed I was marching and singing, "76 trombones led the big parade..." It was awful.

2:41 pm

ty scrabs

2:41 pm

8s are an8 a poisonous tree an8 singular of the an9 so8 and so8 piano pieces

2:42 pm

rh9 = rh***dendron shrub + not day but ****

2:43 pm

so8 = dolphins used so**r to navigate + **** Turner, singer, Then the other so8 has a different vowel ending.

2:43 pm

Thank you, Scrabbler!! :o)

2:43 pm

an 9 - to be against no 5/12

2:43 pm

huh - I don't have the poisonous tree

2:43 pm

And another an8 = prefix for against + anagram of falling water from sky

2:44 pm

Morning everyone. Thans for the so's dfm

2:44 pm

OK, I think I just clued the 8s and 9s!

2:44 pm

I haven't heard from my nurse friend in the past few days. Last I'd heard she was fine but was going to help relatives who were in the flood area

2:51 pm

Which State/Region is she in Nef?

2:51 pm

my sentiments exactly

2:51 pm

Me too, Carlee, and I will leave soon. MY OCD dictates that I must finish with even numbers or 0 or 5

2:51 pm

crap scrabs, now that you SAID that...!!!

2:51 pm

She lives in Brisbane, but not in the flooded area,

2:52 pm

Are you the same, Champ? I dislike odd numbers, except for 5.

2:52 pm

Totally. Round numbers. Or at least even. GAH!

2:53 pm

See, now I am at 125/78 and I can happily depart.

2:53 pm

I worked 8-11:30, have this afternoon off, and return for the evening session from 5:30-8:30.

2:53 pm

for now, right?

2:54 pm

Champ, I aim to pass halfway. I only finish grids < 100-120 words, if I have time.

2:54 pm

You really value Expert with ones like this. I think what DrG is replacing will be similar to how we need to do this one - not going to be as good

4:07 pm

Couldn't agree more, lyn

4:08 pm

4:11 pm

bye Champ

4:11 pm

ttfn champ

4:11 pm

It is very time consuming to cut and paste into a word document and check your words against a list posted in a profile. Really makes you appreciate Lickety. WE MISS YOU LICKETY!!!!

4:13 pm

bottom o?

4:13 pm

Molly, I just shrink the profile sideways, stretch it vertically, and move it to the left of the grid, then toggle back and forth.

4:13 pm

Molly - have you tried lining up a profile against your Word List, the fonts are about the same size

4:13 pm

easier to cut and paste into a speadsheet. this gives you columns to work with.

4:14 pm

to each his/her own...

4:14 pm

or a word document with columns

4:14 pm

I'm doing the word document with columns. It just seems a lot more time consuming than Lickety. I'm spoiled.

4:15 pm

bottom o is the od7.32 I think - od & carb*****d drinks

4:15 pm

couldn't agree with you more molly, as in missing lickety. just shows how much he goes out of his way for us all everday

4:15 pm

ty lynxxx

When I am in CA, the flip happens at 10 PM. I sually get some words before going to bed. She and dfm and some others are there getting long words in no time at all and leaving halfway done in about 1/2 hour

4:28 pm

I am not certain, but I think dfm might have a program such as Lickety's

4:29 pm

He's certainly a science guy

trout also sounds lovely.

trader oe's mac & cheese is awsome. but not reduced fat

7:42 pm

I have 119 left. work got in the way.

I wish I had a trader Joe's...

good bye, stidge

7:43 pm

TJ has good single serving stuff

7:43 pm

Tips for using morewords: First, enter ^ and then all the letters which do not appear in the grid in the box at the top. Highlight this and copy it (Ctrl + C). Then enter the first two letters of the word you are looking for and a hyphen for each missing letter, then paste the ^ list (Ctrl V) and hit Enter.

10:02 pm

the so8s are musical
