5:32 am

5:33 am

no, this is somthing else!! :)

5:34 am

Too many A words...boo!

5:34 am

I mean, more than usual. Yup, this is a stinker. 25 left and no more monkeys.

5:43 am

just monkeyed the go6. this grid has now officially entered the ridiculous stage.

5:46 am

9 words in 30 min. :( off to work...cul

5:52 am

I did say it was tough...

5:53 am

Good day folks.

5:53 am

Hello, Scrabbler.

5:54 am

How is life across the pond?

5:54 am

It's okay, Scrabbler, nothing major to report.

5:55 am

And I see, from comments below, that this grid sucks.

5:55 am

This grid is one which gives room to the lesser known species of English words.

5:56 am

and ethnic slurs

5:56 am

I'll tell my monkey to try everything and anything.

5:56 am

good morning everyone

5:56 am

There's a higher percentage than usual of never-before-encountered-nor-imagined words.

5:56 am

Good morning, Annie.

5:57 am

Hi Annie

5:57 am

morning Hazel

5:57 am

morning, scrabbler

5:57 am

Needless to say I recommend morewords!

5:57 am

Morewords will be ragged by the end of the day

5:57 am

I have a long day of work ahead so I'll do what I can.

6:00 am

Just to give you a flavour, Scrabbler, we have Chinese wooden yokes, Australian lizards and French booze.

6:00 am

The last clue I got.

6:01 am

We've had the Australian lizard before, the Chinese yoke of punishment was a new one on me.

6:01 am

French booze? *perks up*

6:01 am

and morning all!

6:01 am

Hi Sue

6:02 am

Please take pity on this American. Any clue for the first up

6:02 am

Hello, uusue.

6:02 am

hi scrabs!

6:02 am

morning, sue

6:02 am

and hi haz and annie!

6:02 am

up5 - many babblers will be up5 with the words in this grid.

6:02 am

G'mornin, all. In all the years I've done this game, I've never used more words. Maybe today by the sounds of it?

6:02 am

TY--twisty word.

6:03 am

I should seen that one, Haz, thanks

6:03 am

Morewords is a wonderful site.

6:03 am

Le this be the day, gramma. Your choice - morewords or your mental health/chunks of hair.

6:03 am

I'll look at it later.

6:03 am

thx for the up - I kept thinking that word ought to be there and not seeing it :-/

6:04 am

I am going to the kitchen to get breakfast. What would everyone like?

6:04 am

anyway nbt

6:04 am

You're welcome, uusue.

6:04 am

sausages would be nice, scrabs :-)

6:04 am

and coffee...

6:05 am

Coffee I can do but there's no meat in this vegetarian home. The bunnies and I are herbivores.

6:06 am

I have the up 6 and 7..I would never use that word in that way but I must find a way to use it today. This grid will up6 me today, most likely.

6:07 am

veggie sausage would be ok (I've actually had some that wasn't bad - and have been vegetarian myself off and on)

6:07 am

anyway gotta run myself...

6:09 am

Have a good day, uu.

6:12 am

Bye Sue.

6:13 am

Yogurt + oatmeal for all. Also tea + coffee are on the breakfast tray.

6:15 am

You've made good progress, Annie. Hope the BP hasn't been raised too much!

6:16 am

6:16 am

hi car!

7:15 am

How are you, dahling?

7:15 am

And what is wrong with your phone? Is your car at least better?

7:16 am

I am finding very hard to believe that there are 16 G's in this grid.

7:17 am

the SD card in my phone died

7:18 am

Ugh.

7:18 am

my car is still in the shop, should be done tomorrow, meantime I am renting a 2012 Ford Focus, which is quite snazzy

7:18 am

whee!

7:18 am

I love renting cars! You get to really try them out for a bit!

7:18 am

I had an old SD card that I put in, and fortunately I had uploaded all my photos, but recovering everything is a nuisance

7:19 am

(of course, if I used my phone as a phone and not as a computer with a very small screen, it wouldn't be such a big deal, I suppose...)

7:19 am

That is true....;p

7:21 am

I need to scoot. Have a great day!

7:22 am

7:49 am

Well River, since most people seem unable to speak in anything but abbreviations, gosp will do : )

7:50 am

I do not like abbreviations - drives me crazy at work when I read files and cant figure out what they are

7:50 am

Ah, someone who agrees with me about that. My latest, most disliked is "brill". It's like nails on a chalkboard every time I hear it.

7:50 am

howdy jmc

11:14 am

Hi JMC

11:14 am

ru fell asleep in the pb?

11:14 am

maybe he sniffed too much ga6.27

11:15 am

we think so

11:16 am

crossy keeps it in there to chop into his brekkies

11:16 am

i am pretending to study

11:16 am

we won't tell

11:16 am

do you think that is a step up or down from pretending to pay attention to a meeting?

11:16 am

but.. what are you pretending to study?

11:17 am

step up

11:17 am

i am pretending to study choosing to engage armed groups in the peace process

11:18 am

easy...water cannons:))

11:18 am

no wonder you're pretending

11:18 am

h'mm, sounds complicated and almost oxymoronic

11:18 am

actually pretty interesting stuff but my head cold lingers and it is hard to concentrate

11:18 am

no no crossy to engage in dialogue! this is a peace build program

11:19 am

ahh..dialogue...lol

11:19 am

well if you don't engage the armed parties in a conflict you will never end the armed part of the conflict

11:19 am

sigh.. you are right of course

11:19 am

what are the stats for the corner R please

11:20 am

wish they were all armed with squirt gus

11:20 am

guns that is

11:20 am

that would be a fun war. water guns and cannons

11:20 am

it is amazingly difficult to get some people to see the logic of that--and i would be okay with squirt guns as long as it was just water at a controlled temperature and pressure

11:21 am

water cannons are not fun if the pressure is high enough hego

11:21 am

true even that could escalate

11:21 am

you said armed..if they are waving gas cocktails and ak-47,s...i am not worried overmuch as to the temp of the water:)

11:21 am

about that r.. the guy on Mash that drank Nehi

11:22 am

and slept with his teddy bear

11:22 am

what air traffic controllers use

11:22 am

loved mash

11:22 am

we still watch it

11:22 am

i was just pointing out that when we come up with solutions we need to look at possible unintended consequences like scaldling water or high pressure

11:22 am

ty snuffy

11:22 am

still watch it:) it is in endless re-runs on history channel

11:23 am

yw.. am still missing two from there

11:23 am

I watch it also

11:23 am

see the sound cannons we have recently developed here for that purpose jmc?

11:23 am

ah the pl comes from that R

11:24 am

no more nasy water:)

11:24 am

a long time ago I researched a sound weapon the French developed.. infrasound.. vibrates the intestines.. aim it at an approaching army, and voila.. where is the latrine?

11:24 am

sound can be devastating too--they have used it in torture over the decades

11:25 am

brb, have to stir my crock pot stew

11:25 am

:-)

11:25 am

so you need a combination of persuasive forece along with someone who is vocally gifted and can talk the birdies from the trees

11:25 am

force

11:26 am

sigh....make love,not war

11:27 am

showing my age now. lol

11:27 am

well,you could try kissing them into giving up those molotov cocktails and ak 47,s...

11:27 am

actually the first step is to build trust

11:27 am

tell that to Iran and Israel

11:27 am

it is a slow process and many people prefer the seemingly fast process of just shooting everyone

11:28 am

that is exactly the point hego

11:28 am

ancient hatreds and modern weapons. what a combo

11:28 am

stats for any n word from the second n please

Hi, hego. It is a teeny weeny youth version of a newly discovered chameleon. I think it's adorable.

11:51 am

I saw that picture, Judi - really amazing!

11:57 am

the ant might give it a run for it's money.

11:58 am

I love tiny little things like that. What an extraordinary discovery for the person who actually found it. Just reminds me to take time and look at all the little details of nature.

11:59 am

true Judi

11:59 am

right in your own back yard too.

12:00 pm

Absolutely.

12:01 pm

Name that proper noun: Country in Africa.

12:02 pm

I'm stumped

Clue: it starts with a "U"

12:03 pm

idi amin's favorite

12:03 pm

aha!

12:03 pm

I can't even find words today

12:04 pm

Uganda!!

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

or even in a sentence, already

12:05 pm

Ding! Ding! Ding! Molly wins the (nonexistent) prize.

12:06 pm

*Adds to my collection of other non-existent prizes*

12:06 pm

Dumbfounded that there is a 10 letter word. No idea what that might be.

12:07 pm

compound word ra10

12:09 pm

*still dumbfounded*

12:10 pm

ra5 + the thing you look through to see that little creature micro+++++

12:10 pm

Ah. Ty, hego.

12:10 pm

yw

12:10 pm

Sounds like that should be two seperate words to me. Somebody call the Navy.

12:11 pm

hey sailor

12:13 pm

Just found all of the U's. All but one is highly suspect.

12:14 pm

agreed

12:15 pm

and nage is a word often found on menus.

12:15 pm

but not here

12:15 pm

Agreed.

12:16 pm

but I keep entering it anyway

12:17 pm

I just found Peoria, but that doesn't help me either.

12:19 pm

lol

12:19 pm

The Navy reports that ra10 is indeed, one, non-hypenated word. Anchors Aweigh!

12:19 pm

Go Navy

12:20 pm

yay!

12:20 pm

Pfttth.

12:20 pm

Notice I do not say "Anchors Away" like the masses of uneducated non-military brats : P

12:21 pm

and non nautical types

12:21 pm

brb

12:22 pm

I see your Anchors Aweigh and raise you a Semper Paratus Molly

12:23 pm

*climbs to crows nest to keep lookout for pirates*

12:23 pm

*Salutes*

12:24 pm

*Waits for someone Marines oriented to "ou-rah"*

12:24 pm

Let's dress the cabana boys up in cute uniforms!

12:25 pm

there's an idea

12:25 pm

We'll make thems sing "In the Navy" and "Macho Macho Man". Then they can serve us drinks on the sun deck.

12:26 pm

And we'll make them lob dead fish at the Iranian navy.

12:27 pm

we need to keep a few for easy babble words

12:54 pm

that's lovely!

12:55 pm

the quick brown fox walked past the lazy sue:)

12:55 pm

sorry,lost my head there for a second

12:55 pm

just saw a program on city dwelling racoons

12:55 pm

funny Crossy

12:55 pm

I did get a couple of photos but only from a distance (they are on facebook now)

12:55 pm

supposedly, there are foxes right above us, but I've not seen one

12:55 pm

my sister told me about the raccoon program

12:56 pm

we are currently hip deep in coyotes

12:56 pm

raccoons are all over the place here, but I haven't often seen foxes

12:56 pm

they live unseen in cities

12:56 pm

she said they've infested Chicago

12:56 pm

as dumpster divers

12:56 pm

there used to be a guy who walked around campus with a raccoon on a leash (!)

12:56 pm

they call them raton-laveurs here but I don't think they have any

12:57 pm

yes, the raccoons definitely do get into the trash!

12:57 pm

we have a couple in town that walk their poet ferret down town all the time..funny to see:)

12:57 pm

and they look in people's windows!

12:57 pm

pet

12:57 pm

I have some woods behind my house, so we have everything

12:57 pm

peeping racoons

12:58 pm

gotta love those literary ferrets :-)

12:58 pm

we should have animals, but I think that the locals have eaten everything

12:58 pm

they can open almost anything with those litttle hands

12:58 pm

hungry locals

12:58 pm

i must leave you all once again,but before i go,it is time once again for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!

12:58 pm

they're very cute, but too tame and a little creepy for me

12:59 pm

In 10th-century Burma, King Theinhko ate a farmer’s cucumbers without permission. The farmer killed the king and took the throne.

12:59 pm

don't leave your dogs out, Ruby

12:59 pm

5:27 pm

... gotta hunch I'm going to list earlier than usual this evening

I've been trying NOT to go to the list, which is stupid...kind of like beating my head against the wall.

5:28 pm

Happy Birthday Jen!!

5:46 pm

I have 145 left

5:48 pm

Even the most clever of grid solvers have complained about this grid today. I will take my new laissez-faire attitude and find what I can, and leave the rest. : )

5:49 pm

...and be much happier for it, no doubt!

5:52 pm

Nef, you just jump in and get the hard stuff...I'm pickin' and pickin'...still have 82 left.

5:54 pm

No, my monkeys are working today, Champ. I always try to get NBT and NBS before I chat; but sometimes I just can't do it

5:55 pm

6:50 pm

ah, I loved the Monkees

Mothers complaining just how hard life is

and the kids just don't understand...

Social commentary for 7th graders

I have been listening a lot to crrent pop and it is all about horny guys and booty and give it to me right now

Really explicit. Not Adele- mostly the guys

and Rihanna- "I love the way it hurts"

6:53 pm

why are you listening to current pop?

all kinds of reasons. Have daughters, pop culture interests me, because there's a lot of talent other than Miley Cyrus...

6:55 pm

ok

6:55 pm

how old are your daughters?

22 and 16. Their taste is far more sophisticated at this point, but it's default station while driving with the younger one.

6:57 pm

need a break, bbl to find the last 34

I raised the older on Gershwin and Porter and Berlin...in first grade in school she drew a picture of a cloud and her caption was "my cloud looks like Lena Horne singing"

I am watching my soap. I am a mixture of highbrow and lowbrow.

I recorded Perry Mason on the DVR!

and The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis! I like to be fluent in all decades.

I am talking to myself--sorry.

7:00 pm

no you're not kap I'm just trying to think of something to say ..I so admire your taste

Or lack thereof.

7:01 pm

seriously

I found a station that has Dobie and Dick (van Dyke.)

7:01 pm

you have very eclectic tastes..kind of like mine

7:02 pm

I need to find me some Perry Mason

7:02 pm

I can hear the theme song now

I spent Sunday watching Whitney Houston on you tube- then went back to early Streisand...then a little Fanny Brice

Memorable Entertainment Television- it's a cable network.

7:03 pm

we have FIOS

I watched a lot of Amy Winehouse the day she died- thought- damn, she had talent- I shouldn't wait till they are tabloid fodder and dead to appreciate them.

7:04 pm

she was good

I am so eclectic I am virtually psychotic.

7:04 pm

what a waste

That's why the lady is a tramp.

7:05 pm

California is cold and damp

Tony Bennett- way better than Frankie.

I'm all alone when I turn out my lamp...

7:05 pm

both good in their own way..course Tony's still here

I like the clean fresh wind in my hair, life without care, I'm broke

that's oke

You like Pearl Bailey?

7:06 pm

yes

7:07 pm

and ella

7:07 pm

and lena and billie

7:07 pm

so cool that your daughter compared her cloud to Lena

7:07 pm

Hi all. I might have got myself into trouble with a friend who writes for a dog (canine kind) magazine after she queried a guideline from Crufts re cage labelling. Since I hate Crufts and The Kennel Club for all the harm they've done to dogs and dog breeds over the years, I said I neither knew nor cared. I also asked WHY people put 'Show Dogs In Transit' stickers in the back of their vehicles, especially when you see small children free-range at the very back, 'show' dogs in cages strapped securely to the rear seats in front of the kids, and Mum and Dad seat-belted in at the front.

Ella- clean and pure- Pearl -suggestive...lena- regal, Billie---blie

Jac, that is disturbing

7:08 pm

((West)) I'm sorry you felt left out earlier today. I wasn't really around enough to get why, but I don't want you to ever feel left out of chat. You matter ♥

7:08 pm

I also asked why 'show' animals were more important than any other kind of animal/life.

Here I am leaving everyone out of chat.

7:09 pm

thanks for that molly I just wanted a hug..just being silly all better now

7:09 pm

Kaplan. Hi. Yes, it is!

I am a chathog. Anyone can stop my singing at any time.

7:09 pm

we used to see baby on board stickers ..could never understand those

7:10 pm

West - don't know why you need a hug, but here's one from me, also. (((Hug)))

7:10 pm

Double hugs (((West))) ((West))) : )

((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((

one armed hug

7:10 pm

West - baby on board stickers also get to me. Shouldn't people be driving in a cring and careful way anyway?

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

right arm hug

7:11 pm

thanks ((jac)) and ((molly)) and holy mackeral ((kap)).

7:11 pm

Baby On Board stickers are so that the people contemplating vehicular manslaughter can choose their cars appropriately.

No Baby on Board- go one and hit me.

7:11 pm

Bloody Hell! Kap. You just shunted me out of the front door and halfway up the drive! LOL

7:11 pm

apparently

Don't know my own strength.

7:12 pm

I was just about to tell you that, Kap. LOL!

Ultimatum to 16 year old daughter: you must do your own laundry from here on in.

No more piling up mountains of clothes and then "Mom! I have nothing to wear! Do my wash!"

7:13 pm

Oh good luck. If she's not doing it by 16, you have a long road to hoe.

7:15 pm

BTW - I meant people should be driving in a caring way, not a 'cring' way. Cring driving sounds like something a Ferengi like Quark (Deep Space 9) might do!

I know- we have not done a good job with our kids and chores.

7:16 pm

could anyone help me with the ep7 please.I still haven't found it

7:16 pm

molly gave an excellent clue earlier today

7:16 pm

I've got a 17-year-old step daughter still filling the family laundry basket just after I've done the wash. She's going to be doing her own washing and ironing very soon!

I go into her room and there I find -

ALL of our bath towels on the floor

7:18 pm

please don't tell me what you find... you'll give me nightmares.

7:19 pm

Hang on.. WHY are all of your bath towels on the floor? Oh, I get it, she's used thee blooming lot?

BBL.

7:20 pm

Kap's got to check the laundry basket again, I guess. I'll get a similar pile later today!

7:21 pm

molly.. would you please re-clue that ep7?

7:22 pm

hola

7:22 pm

hi kje.. you in SF now?

7:23 pm

7:28 pm

I have met several babblers, male and female...

7:28 pm

haven't been inappropriate with any of them

7:28 pm

The only Babble romance I'm aware of was Lola and I've forgotten his name, back in the early days. Apparently, it thrived then faltered after a couple of years.:-(

7:28 pm

I've only met Doren and DC.. and I keep my hands off both

7:29 pm

Anj - that was his name!

7:29 pm

her name was lola... she was a show girl....

7:29 pm

did they run out of words jac?

7:29 pm

she had flowers in her hair and her dress cut down to there...

7:29 pm

ruru- don't know all the details, but I suppose it came down to that in the end.

7:29 pm

(I cannot remember the words!)

7:30 pm

kje - yes, that was the persona, but not the real girl.

7:30 pm

Lola100 and anj

torg - I said that already! LOL. Remember the jacuzzi an champagne days? The mud fights? The fun?

7:31 pm

They were together for a while, broke up, and lola has since gotten married to a non-Babbler ..

7:31 pm

LOL

7:32 pm

I remember the jacuzzi days!!! aussieme, monkey, weed,

7:32 pm

Torg - I didn't know about Lola's marriage. I'm glad she found another special someone.

7:33 pm

I think that's the only romance, isn't it? Well, the only one we know about!

7:34 pm

kje - Yes, fun times.

7:34 pm

an4.6 + spanish river,

7:41 pm

just watched a documentary the other night on communes around SF in the 60s and 70s

7:41 pm

Okay Jac, we will catch up on that when you have seen up to the most recent episode. It lags for a bit and then there is a WHAM part of the story line.

7:41 pm

mostly about black bear

7:41 pm

wait till you're threatened by a grunge person with his pitt bull for money

7:42 pm

evening all

7:42 pm

in the Haight..

7:43 pm

I will try to avoid that

7:43 pm

I want dark side cookies....

7:43 pm

Is anyone watching 'Fringe'? That's getting so convoluted now re the differentt dimensions that my brain's starting to creak.

7:43 pm

they squat on the sidewalk and panhandle and threaten people.. the cops have been there more frequently.. but the just go to the park and come back

7:43 pm

:D jes

7:44 pm

ru - going to garibaldi's tonight... any good?

7:44 pm

any suggestions there?

7:44 pm

Jes - please don't say 'drk side' or I'll see that mad Christian woman from the husband swap programme of years ago again.:-(

7:44 pm

okay.. not great..

7:45 pm

that is where they are taking me... we will walk there in about 10 minutes

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

it's okay.. stay with the fish

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

they should take you to La Folie if they want to impress you.

7:47 pm

7:47 pm

:D

7:48 pm

Yes Jac, I watch Fringe and I have trouble keeping up with what dimension I'm in with every given episode.

lol.. Molly has a new bit now.

7:54 pm

I didn't get any flack when I met Doren or DC molly..whassup with that?

7:54 pm

BTW - that mad prayer warrior, aftr scaring her kids, did accept the cheque/check she tore up in the end. She got the money, but what did she do to her kids??

7:55 pm

DC is hysterically funny in person by the way.. very witty and really sarcastic..

7:55 pm

and WAYYY smarter than me

7:58 pm

Molly - you carry on, but please don't enter any competions in magazines that offer no prize other than being published. It's a battle we paid writers have been waging this week against mags published by big corporations who can afford to pay. Small presses and charities are one thing, big publishers are quite another!

7:59 pm

*competitions, I meant.

8:02 pm

back... I thought they were coming at 10 of 6 but it is 10 after 6

8:02 pm

a few more minutes of babbling

8:04 pm

in SF.. I liked him a lot

8:04 pm

8:04 pm

*Stops joking and flushes sense of humor down the toilet. Man, this is a hard room some nights*

8:04 pm

I bought him breakfast.. he was going to a ball game

8:06 pm

isn't coffee breakfast?

8:06 pm

lol

8:06 pm

8:06 pm

*frazzled*

8:06 pm

i said going to lunch.. not out to lunch..lol

8:07 pm

pretty pictures of ru? :D

8:07 pm

Molly - I'm getting confused here, too, especially since I'm talking to my stepdaughter (who is only yars away from me upstairs) on Facebook.

8:07 pm

honestly, they feed me a lot... meetings, visits, all come with too much food

8:07 pm

Out to Lunch - that was a brilliant game on the old Amiga.

8:08 pm

8:11 pm

How about a clue for the first an7. I have the sweater.

8:11 pm

8:11 pm

8:11 pm

jac

8:12 pm

howdy all

8:12 pm

hi pickles

8:12 pm

wht - same first 44 letters but the word ends with an operatic solo after the first 3 letters, if you get my drift.

8:12 pm

hi. jes

8:12 pm

Hi pny

8:13 pm

ruru - that's the kind of humour we have. LOL

8:13 pm

ty jac

8:13 pm

thanks jac

8:13 pm

ty, jac

8:13 pm

44 letters??? I meant 4, wht.

8:14 pm

It was a long solo. But I got the word.

8:14 pm

I don't think the grid supports a 47 letter word! LOL

8:14 pm

LOL, wht.

8:14 pm

evening all!

8:15 pm

hi dan :)

8:15 pm

I've caught up to you, jmitch...assuming you've not found any other g words yet...

8:15 pm

wow grid full of racial epithets

8:16 pm

cars

8:16 pm

oops pb

8:16 pm

thanks dan. i had not even tried the sp4 epithet, figured it wouldn't be a word...

8:16 pm

ty, dan

8:17 pm

jes - I don't see jmitch herem, but every time I see that name I take a breath, thinking it's FMitch again.

hi all my first day here,not doing so well

8:18 pm

welcome bl!

8:18 pm

hi leo. you picked a difficult grid to start

8:18 pm

why are you broken leo?

long story but arent we all just a little

8:20 pm

fair enough

8:20 pm

Leo, I think we have a broken grid.

so these do come easier?

8:21 pm

yes, some of them are much easier!

8:21 pm

I haven't even dragged myself to half way through this one.

ugh

and how long have you been at this?

8:23 pm

uhm.... 4-5 years?

8:23 pm

or did you mean this grid in particular?

both i guess

8:23 pm

almost an hour tonight

8:24 pm

has anybody pointed you to lickety's clues yet?

no whats tha

that

8:24 pm

http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

8:25 pm

it gives a list of first 2 letters, with point values for each word, in alphabetical order. VERY helpful.

8:25 pm

I find morewords helpful for short words

8:25 pm

also, it's ok to ask for clues of other players

8:26 pm

And you can enter your words and see which ones you have and which you are still missing. Very nice.

8:26 pm

when giving clues, people will usually try to avoid actually spelling the words out, so it can get interesting trying to hint "this word is like this, only different in these ways" :D

8:27 pm

Welcome brokenleo. It gets easier, I promise you.

8:27 pm

right, we try not to type grid words into the chat box - but sometimes we slip up!

8:28 pm

then you will see people put themselves into the "penalty box" - not a real construct, but just a way to acknowledge that we goofed.

8:28 pm

there are some bizarre words which turn up frequently like ohia

8:28 pm

Could I have the stats for the 10. please

well that has me even more confused

8:28 pm

how so?

8:29 pm

ra10/91

guess I'm just too simple

8:29 pm

don't worry about it, leo - just type the words you find in the "add word" box, feel free to chat, and it will all make sense after a while

8:29 pm

Just played Brahms Lullaby to my stepdaughter, First time she's heard it, apparently. It's in her earphones on her i-pod now. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to go up there and sing to her! On Ikley Moor Bah'tat usually does the trick! At least it did when my kids were little.;-)

8:29 pm

also the "Help" link above has useful info

k thanls

8:30 pm

Brokenleo - you'll be glued together again when you've spent some timee with us lot!

8:30 pm

there's something about this funny puzzle that brings out the nicest people

8:31 pm

Pickles tells the truth about this game.

hope so have had enough of the other types of people

8:32 pm

leo, jac is right about getting glued together. I think it is the stick-to-it-ness that this puzzle requires.

8:32 pm

That's not to say we don't get trolls in her, or that none of us disagree, but it's a nice place to be on the whole.

glad to be here then

8:33 pm

zips

8:33 pm

oops, sorry about that

8:33 pm

Stick around, brokenleo. W'll help you to become whole again. And that isn'y some lame internet promise.

8:33 pm

I hope there

8:34 pm

I hope there;s something good in the PB

8:34 pm

any clues for go6/24?

8:34 pm

*tosses Christine an eggnog taffy on her way to the PB*

8:35 pm

just saw a comment about my name reminding of FMitch.....No relation, but it's nice to think I remind folks of a special person

8:35 pm

I think there are some citrus fruits in there, Christine.

8:35 pm

Well, I don't eat sweets, but the eggnog bit sounds okay.

8:35 pm

majmom - go6 is a large type of monitor lizard. Google it if you don't know it.

8:36 pm

I just learned of FMitch's death. I remember a nice person, and I'm sorry for your loss. I know some of you were very 'close'.

8:37 pm

jmitch, yes, you do. Still miss her in the mornings on Babble, in the emails etc.

8:37 pm

She was one of the first to welcome me aboard.

8:37 pm

Hi Christine. Yes, we were. Still are.

8:38 pm

tx jacula -googled and found it

8:38 pm

ha, finally found the lizard several paragraphs into the Wikipedia article. Now know much more about said lizards.

8:38 pm

well, I've used up all my patience searching for G words.....y'all have a great evening. *poof*

8:38 pm

jmitch - that was typical of her to welcome folks. Me? I'm far more cautious. Have made enemies on here due to my troll-radar.

8:39 pm

bye, jmitch

8:39 pm

Goodnight, jmitch. Hope to see you again.

8:40 pm

But, on the whole, we're a nice bunch, tho' there have been times when you want to just reach out and grap someon by the neck, and march him/her into another room, until they can behave nicely. Come with being a mother, I guess.

8:40 pm

help with co6/21 or co6/30 pls

8:40 pm

majmom and uusue - I guess you don't take much interest in the natural world if you didn't know that word? Ah well, such is life! nd the differences are what make it all so interesting.

8:40 pm

co6/21 the first is rough, not fine

8:41 pm

co6/30 is brandy

8:41 pm

*grab someone

8:41 pm

sue! I wanted to clue the brandy word! LOL

8:41 pm

looking for 6/21 the second currently

8:41 pm

and jac, my knowledge of the natural world is more along the lines of neutrinos and supernovas - I am rather deficient in biological knowledge!

8:42 pm

ty for the co words

8:42 pm

Not that I drink it - I only use it in my Christmas cakes and to pour over the Christmas pudding and set alight.

8:42 pm

ah! second co6/21 is a shaping garment

8:42 pm

Any help for the ca7/7 combo after the pens?

8:43 pm

Ah, sue, you're looking downwardss rather than upwards. No harm in that.

8:43 pm

or ca6/7 combo

8:43 pm

I do the really, really tiny and the really really big things :-)

8:44 pm

ca6/7 is a wooden collar/yoke worn by Chinese prisoners. c + ag4 (chill) word.

8:45 pm

ca6/7 ends like the thing in your mouth (not your teeth)

8:45 pm

ty. That is a new word for me.

8:45 pm

Or rather tin for food, remove last letter then go for the other word.

8:46 pm

wht, y/w.

8:48 pm

Any more clues needed?

8:49 pm

About 22 more jac. :^)

8:54 pm

The car is fixed; I can pick it up in the morning so that is good.

8:54 pm

ra8, TO, is the company that runs the trains.

8:55 pm

ra10 is ra5/12 (what the police use to catch you speeding) plus sc5/14 (put micro or tele in front and you can look through it)

8:56 pm

8:59 pm

Pickles - li5/10 = people who don't tell the truth.

9:00 pm

Like internet daters, LOL!

9:00 pm

9:00 pm

9:01 pm

TO - I can't judge you, since I met my other half of the past decade on a website. It wasn't a dating site, but we met and there you go!

that is lovely, jacs

9:02 pm

sue - Hiding letters by picking the gri up and throwing it down again is Dr_God's fun thing.

9:03 pm

TO - Yes, so they're not all driller killers out there, but you still have to take care.

9:11 pm

9:33 pm

Get your ar4/4 out of my half of the bed, TO! Or at least wear a co6/21 to make yourself smaller! It would be nice if your breath didn't smell of ga6/27, too. It's not true that it repels vampires you know. It repels everyone and anyone who hasn;t eaten it at thwe same time as you did.

:p

9:35 pm

Well, thank you - that's two words I needed. Carry-on arguing.

9:35 pm

We're having fun insulting each other at the moment.

9:44 pm

jill wasnt this harp player u emt at a neighbros party i read on fb

not done yet but just got nbt

time for bed.. night all

9:44 pm

i really do wish i could benefit from music therapy.it sounds wonderful

9:44 pm

not at all, cos

9:44 pm

jilli - no, I haven't,but I will later,. Where does one find the latest icon theme now?

9:45 pm

right in my bio, jac, and in sprite's.

9:45 pm

oh ok.. but yeah.. i think its an amazing thing.. too bad i cant benefit from ti

9:45 pm

yes, cos -- very sorry about that

very nice story, jilli! (i do a little music myself)

9:46 pm

but at least i wont know wha t im missing out on lol

9:46 pm

So I see, jilli. Last time I looked at sprite's I couln't see it.

9:46 pm

Jillibus, that's so interesting. We had a neighbour who played the harp, and DD and I would pass the house on our evening dog-walk, always stop to listen. Sometimes she held 'evenings' when neighbours would drop in for tea & cookies.

9:47 pm

ro5/16 please?

9:47 pm

you see, I'm wondering why sprite and I bother with icon themes any more -- there is so little interest. It was such a rewarding side dish to Babble when others participated -- I know, poeple don't have time, etc etc but they used to...

9:47 pm

A naughty guy.

ro5, female character from X-Men!

9:49 pm

thanks gwen thsat did the trick

9:49 pm

flute playing makes me think of Jethro Tull, a band from the 50s/70s tht jilli probably wouldn't like.But it was the fae band of a man who died before his time, a man that I knew for many years.

9:49 pm

and ty christine :)

9:49 pm

yw

8-D

9:51 pm

jilli - I've always gone my own way, as you know, but I've no objection to themes if they suit my mood (and don't encroach on anythig I'm writing for money). I'd just lost track of where to find the themes!

9:51 pm

Thanks, Christine. I keep looking at others' icons in the hope that I will learn something about the theme, but seldom find a follower -- although there are other interesting stories. People seem to find the time to change their writeups and icons, but ignore the themes we could all share. To each his/her own, and I guess I should just shut up about it.

9:52 pm

se5 the first?

9:52 pm

jilli - I'd write all about it, but these days I need to get paid for writing all about it. Sorry that I can't be so free with the info,

9:53 pm

cos - sounds like you're watching a movie!

se5 = s + ep4, a really big movie (or poem)

9:54 pm

se 5/14: somone drained out my se*t** tank cosdem.

9:54 pm

thanks again jac/gwen

9:54 pm

y/w cosdem.

9:55 pm

Jac, Sprite always posts themes -- a long list into the future as long as people have suggested them -- so few do now that she does most herself. New ideas are always welcome. Since she is in a very different time zone from North America's, I copy her current list for the people here. But who cares?

9:56 pm

jilli - I haen't forgotten about ringing you, btw. We just need to earn enough money to even consider paying for callls right now. Food and bills come first!

jacula, have you heard of skype? nearly free to call anywhere in the world using your puter

9:57 pm

jilli - I care! wish Sprite hadn't been so self-effacing eitherm and just told me same.

9:57 pm

gmail has free calls as well

9:57 pm

helloooo, i'm back. didja miss me?

9:58 pm

Gwen yes, I got Skype then lost it Need to find it again so I can see my only niece on film from Canada!

9:58 pm

No prob, jac -- I understand. Even though we have universal medical care, a lot of things are not covered and I've been whacked with a bunch of big bills -- big to an old widow on a small fixed income, at least.

how can you lose a whole website??? lol

9:58 pm

jilli - xxx

9:59 pm

(((jac)))

9:59 pm

Gwen - when you get a nw pc with a son that wipes everything, it's not hard to lose far more than a whole website.

10:00 pm

an7 please?

hmmm, i'm guessing you're not comfortable downloading software, then?

10:01 pm

an7, an + kan***oo, hopping animal + 2 vowels

10:01 pm

Roman version of email, cos.

10:01 pm

Jillibus - I sometimes think of changing my icon, but (for some reason) when I do, it takes two or three days fot the thing to take ??? You'll notice I'm still celebrating New Year.

te5/16 pl?

10:02 pm

thanks!

10:02 pm

Gwen - I never download anything willy nilly.

10:02 pm

One of the bills recently, btw, was because of my using the cell phone while in the hospital and a t home because I couldn't get to the landline quickly. The December bill was $234 because of 6 long distance calls of a few minutes each, plus a few local ones. Out bloody rageous.

10:02 pm

thats ridiculous!

10:02 pm

te5, te + seventh letter + *S*, america

10:02 pm

jilli - I bloody agree!

te5 = te + my initial + two other different vowels

ty

10:03 pm

Canada has the worst cell phone system in the world, and I'm not making that up. So stupid.

i'm not scared of skype but i *AM* scared of getting ripped a new one my a cell company -- thus no cell phone here

10:04 pm

I'm going to get off to bed now. It's 4 in the morning an once more the dawning... has reminded me that going to ed earlier is a much better idea if you want to get things done next day.

i use pay as you go.

night jacs

10:05 pm

i use pay as you go too...unlimted data plan 25.00 month...

so4/6?

10:05 pm

comes with 300 minutes too but i dont need it.

10:05 pm

virgin mobile.

10:05 pm

so4, so + cell **one

10:05 pm

I'd like my d and b keys to have worke before I went to sleep, but never mind. My friends are kind and know what I am trying to say.

10:05 pm

TO: freshman, so.., junior, senior...

i can use all around the world with no roaming. 19.99 for 2 hours, 90m days

sadly, i realized too late i could use to call uk

10:06 pm

I had a cell phone contract called "Small Talk" because I only wanted it in case of emergency -- for $15/month + tax I'm allowed 50 minutes/month. I think I may have gone over by about 20 minutes that month, but got ripped off for "air time", whatever that means.

ty

10:07 pm

so 4/6 is beginning of your second year of highschool

10:07 pm

i dont need an iphone or anything like that because all the applications i can get on my kindle fire too :) so why bother

i have a land line but i never call out on it cuz the phone co overbills me (imo) so everyone i call i use skype

10:08 pm

I must look farther in to skype.

10:08 pm

the first co6 please?

10:08 pm

Jillibus - I use my cell phone mostly for calling for a cab, when I'm away from home, so I have a prepaid setup, I found it is less expensive.

10:08 pm

skype is wonderful .. and oovoo is better i think because you can have 3-4 way phone calls for free as well

10:09 pm

co6, co + your backside

10:09 pm

cos -- you have far more choice than we do -- as I said, we have the worst system in the world according to authorities.

10:09 pm

The co6/21 describes something that's rough cosdem

10:10 pm

ah yes i keep forgetting .. not sure if oovoo is available in canada...

10:10 pm

thanks min and granny :)

10:10 pm

never heard of it, cos

10:10 pm

its like skype but you can have 3 way conversations. i dont know if skype has that feature.

10:11 pm

yw

10:12 pm

C's done.

10:12 pm

I must go and load the dishwasher -- back in a bit -- not trying to finish here

skype can do more than 2 people -- i did it once, don't remember how it worked though -- was a few years ago

10:12 pm

Cool Cosdem!

ci 5 pls? ty

10:13 pm

ah thanks gwen.. i didnt know if they had that. i havent used it in a few years. i use oovoo for the msot part.. and yahoo messenger

10:13 pm

ci5, ci + ***r, someone who tells fibs

ci5, little bitty hairs (scientific term)

10:13 pm

ci + someone who doesnt tell the truth, minus last letter

10:13 pm

snap rose

10:13 pm

ah ha i see what you did there min :)

ty cos i swore i tried that

speaking of icon themes, when is Dalek day? lol

10:14 pm

10:16 pm

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

im jealous. i really need to do soemthing like that at least once

10:17 pm

despite my fear of water lol

10:18 pm

10:18 pm

wow just monkeyed the ep7.. werid word

10:19 pm

yeah... im thinking maybe the disney cruises lol

10:19 pm

yay cos

10:20 pm

cos, start small and reasonably local if you can. then build up gradually....our next will probably be a 30 day cruise around ozland.

10:21 pm

i'll wait til Jan 2013 to think about it because we may not even have a world by then lol.. i kid. i kid...

10:21 pm

10:22 pm

speaking of kids..... how's the ciggies going, or not?

10:22 pm

10:25 pm

lol gwen :)

aha, found it, TY granny!

10:25 pm

hmm aww wtg gwen.. hmmmm

10:25 pm

hmmm, still never heard of it, gwen?

cos, the last 4 letters are an actual word on the word list, too, if that helps

granny, you are right. i mean, the word sounds familiar, but did not know that is it a reptile

10:26 pm

ah thanks got it now

10:27 pm

no idea it was a reptile either ;) tyvm

10:27 pm

yay to you both

that online dictionary says it's australian, HA!

10:27 pm

lol :)

10:27 pm

well i'll be on both sides, really???? did not know that.

i live in michigan, and we don't see wild reptiles much. plenty of little fuzzy critters though

10:28 pm

still, what would i know, i only live here. LOL

10:28 pm

oh wow... 12 left.. didnt realize

10:29 pm

little fuzzy critters, NZ has a possum explosion happening, over there they are allowed to shoot them. they use the fur for lots of things.

i once saw a wild turtle. or, maybe it was not wild, could have been an escaped pet

10:29 pm

where is tasmania located?

10:30 pm

possum fur socks, nipple warmers, and wait for it.....willie warmers. never laughed so much in my life,

10:30 pm

how could a turtle escape? :)

10:30 pm

if i had a turtle and it escaped i could prob find it in the living room the next day lol

10:30 pm

cos, south of victoria, across Bass Strait

we got possum, rabbit, squirrel, chipmunk, groundhog, skunk, raccoon, mice, bats, but -- and this is the Wolverine State -- no wolverines

10:30 pm

i wonder if anyone here has seen a tasmanian devil?

in the cartoons!

10:31 pm

we have foxes, bats, hawks, vultures, moose, reindeer, bobcats, possums, rats, mice and raccoon in our neighborhood

10:31 pm

Tasmania is that isalnd on the sort of southeast corner of Aus, cos. Don't you have an atlas?

10:31 pm

yup, sure have. in tassie they are mostly seen in the wildlife parks, in the wild, they are pretty shy

perhaps the turtle was turned loose when it got too big for its owner. this turtle was HUGE -- about 5 inches long LOL

10:32 pm

i have a funny story.. when i first went visited tucson, az i saw a bird i never saw.. i asked myf riend what bird that was.. i said i thought they were big. my friend says thats the cartoons!

10:32 pm

jill yes i do but i dont wanna get up and look it up

foxes! cool.

cos, you are on the web. go to wikipedia for gosh sake 8-)

10:32 pm

No comment, cos

10:33 pm

yeah but its easier to ask here instead of opening a website lol

10:33 pm

oh that bird i saw in az was a road runner

i have heard that we still have foxes around here but i have not seen one in ages

10:33 pm

*shakes head* typical male...some things never change, do they?

one word, cos: tabs

10:34 pm

im usuing expert. no websites open gwen lol

10:34 pm

foxes here, too, gwen.actually have them in the middle of our suburbs.

10:35 pm

they look like my dog here so its scary sometimes

the story of a city kid from Detroit, went out in the country for a few days, say a possum standing on its hind legs looking in through the screen door, and the kid said, holy crap, that's the biggest rat i've ever seen!

10:35 pm

theyre ugly!

10:36 pm

10:39 pm

10:40 pm

10:40 pm

we were sitting and talking.. then we all stopped like something was watching us...

10:40 pm

10:41 pm

Monday night a raccoon attacked one of the people my husband works with.

10:55 pm

A raccoon came into my kitchen through the cat door and gobbled my Susiecat's food. I moved her dish to the other end of the house and put one of those boot-scraper brush things which looked like a raccoon on the stairs it had used to declare it another raccoon's territory. Haven't seen one since.

10:56 pm
