Hello Glanta. How is your jaw today? Does the cold make it better or worse?
Hello Glantarell, and ty
Morning Ruby, had a good night's sleep, and the abscess is a bit smaler this morning. As for the cold, I am pretending I am a hothouse flor this week and have had the heating on a lot
the onlyheat is from the fireplace (one room), the bathrooms (which have their own) and the studio. Otherwise the house is about 45F!
and the guestroom.....
I would be in the warm :-)
my hands are so cold, even in here, that I can barely type
but normally, I would choose the cooler places, don't usually like it too hot, I melt when I visit my mother in her superheated home
i prefer to wrap up warmly in layers, and in your hosue I would be wearing gloves :-)
FM sent me funny gloves without fingertipes, but I'm glad you reminded me about them as I forgot
BBL, happy babbling :)
bye biltong
half but no biggies or either nbt or nbs, but I had better get dressed
see you later, kids
i have NBT but nothing bigger than 7 yet
bye ruby
bye glanta and {{rose}} if you're still here

138 left for me LOL
You'll get there Rose - you, Dee and all the others have my admiration. I really don't know how you do it without a list! Thanks to all of you for the help you give us :)
lol, who says i do it without a list?? when i have about 20 to go, i list.
I have no idea how you find the words without a list either, although the more I play babble, the easier it is to find the words
the ones that still get me are the ones that twist to the left and up
20 to go! You make me laugh! I'm struggling with 88 to go (keep coming back here). Me too Glant - often miss those!
10 now...t's, w's and y's
i've done the Ys & Ws LOL
Time for dinner and when I come back later tonight, I'm sure that Dee's list will be very helpful!!! Congrats in advance Rose - catch you again soon. Enjoy your day Glant :)

Hi Jenny - are you still there and do you still want that clue?
Yes please, for me, Lizlin!

compound words
Thanks, Lizlin - I shall go hunting!

BBL :)
back for a minute; it's almost time to go to the local Italian for lunch (eew), but it's better than constantly cooking
133 and *woof*
ty for the 10/11 - love a clue that makes me think
wow, quiet chat
Hi Chrissie :)
hi Liz
Can't believe how quiet it is!
usually quiet on a small or easy grid, as this isn't small maybe it's a doddle
don't think it is! No lickety today (well, not so far). It took Dee and Rose a while to finish! Dee has a list in her profile.
thanks for that Liz, always need a list if I am to finish
Me too. 79 left here and struggling now. Just turned to the list!
I have Dee's list in my profile, if that is easier to find.
Hi Molly. Can you clue he 7 /8 for me pls?
ty Molly
When you get something in a will you _________ it (starts with in) and you are the ______________. Take the in off the second word.
ty :)
Good clue :)
can I get a clue for the K for nbt please?
ke 4 / 8 - ke + preposition. Best I can do! Hope it helps.
perfect! thanks Liz
time for a break, bbl
Enjoy your day :)
Good Morning ( or evening ) everyone :)
Hi smores :)
Hey Liz :)
Struggling with this one and no lickety :(
Molly and Dee have lists, when you're ready.
no lickety :(
thanks for the heads up liz :)
yw
Lickety split, again?
lol...Hi Sam
Hi Smores, et al.
sorm
oops
:)
That's why I stay out of the chog.
Hi Sam :)
lol... no reason to stay out of chog...we all do it :)
The p's are a real killer!
BTW Sam, I agree with smores :)
I miss Lickety
Me too - but they worked so hard to get a list up earlier! Dee and Molly have lists :)
Hi Annie :)
they are terrific
Hi Liz :)
I'm now working with a 2nd page open on screen and using the list in "word" with a highlight tool!
:) clever liz
Hi Annie :)
didn't "see" you, was stuck in grid :)
hi smores
Well, as I said, these p's are really getting to me but I've only got 3 left now! Yipee!
3 p's that is! 46 in total.
wtg liz
not up to the P's yet. are they obscure words?
Seem to be a number of Italian sounding words. Not so much difficult as just twisty! Well, actually, yes, I'm finding them hard!
The pi's in particular! 18 of them!
lol...ho7/8 and wo5 both in the grid
lol! Have all of them but hadn't seen the link! Didn't get them close to each other, I guess!
:D
I just got them all in a row....right after sh4 :)
Before I started using the list, I was all over the place today!
I found sh 4 but am upset that it can't be extended with an e! A word often used in England - same meaning!
that's how I usually am
I try to start really organised and logical - it usually doesn't last more than a minute!
I was surprised it wouldn't extend with the "er"
Missing one pi 6 now - after that, bed I think!
have nbs, struggling for nbt
stats for the y and c please
Got it! A plural! Time for bed now - it's 11 pm! Snuggle down with a book - well, my iPad! Give my poor brain a rest for a while! OK - hang on!

Thanks smores - any more stats or clues before i go?
btw - meant to say that I love the pic of your hungry dog! :)
none for me liz...thanks though :)
?
You posted a pic of your dog's birthday meal - dog happily eating. You mentioned it in the chog a few days ago, so I looked!
Oh...Sequoia, enjoying her birthday "cake"
Yes :)
:) she's a good ol' girl
Love the name - is that because of her colour?
Yes, it means might red, which was funny as she was a 8lb little furball when I got her :)
Good morning!
Very cute - I remember seeing the giant sequoias near SF!
Hi Car :)

ty i got it too so not a rotten clue
Time for me to bzz. Later all. Pfft!
Bye! Have a great day!
bye bzzn
nbt
Hooray!
ty ty
grr..computer randomly shut down and updated
Ahhh...maintenance!
oh i hate that smores!
Hi and wtg jmc
hi smores and ty
that's the 2nd time that it has done that without warning...usually get a message
do you turn it off or put it on hibernate?
usually it is on...it is set to hibernate after I think 10mins
OK...breaking for a bit. have a great day! {{hugs}}
you need to turn it off completely regularly. . .it will work better. . . i used to hibernate all the time too
But it used to give me a warning that it was restarting to update and I had the option to postpone
okay bye car have a great day
Bye for now car :)
yeah i have gotten a lot of those too!
yeah, I'm sure you are right jmc...need to give it a rest more often :)
haha even computers get tired
:)
i'm tired too.
poor hursh. . . want a pillow?
i want a new life.
dear me! hat seems drastic
Hi hurshy
What's going on Hursh??
hi mich!
i just hate my life. my job is stupid and boring and unfullfilling and i want to do new things but i'm kind of stuck while my husband is finishing his degree.
Hi JMC, smores, etc
well then at least the end is in sight, no?
That is hard. How much more does your husband have until he finishes?
{hurshy} hang it there dear :)
i don't KNOW! he's being REALLY SLOW about his dissertation. he's been doing nothing but that since last may and hasn't even finished his first chapter.
Can you look for a job that would be more fulfilling without giving this one up first?
but he has a time limit on the dissertation, yes?
i can look, i do look, i just never get any of them.
good suggestion mich
time limit - eventually they would pressure him more, but it's somewhat flexible.
as i recall it is something like 3 years but there is a limit for dissertations. . .
Do you feel like he is taking it seriously enough? Maybe you could have a talk about it (I know, easy for me to throw suggestions from across a series of oceans)
morning all!
*wonders to which oceans beside the Atlantic mich is refering*
hi uu
he's depressed and discouraged and unmotivated - it's really an inhuman thing, to have to do such a solitary work for so long. but he doesn't think counseling would help.
hi jmc! The Mediterranean, probably
does he see his advisor very often, hurshy?
maybe he should arrange to volunteer for something heavily peopled once a week
(I am chairing a department where a lot of our doctoral students work full time and can take a VERY long time to finish their dissertations)
soup kitchen. . . reading to kids at the library
when i got depressed i started volunteering at election protection and getting out of the house and going somewhere to do a specific thing really helped me get to where i could do all the nonspecific things i needed to do but was too depressed to do
I am on the Med, Jmc. Maybe he could tutor in his field, may be it will awaken his interest again - being around students can make it exciting.
great idea jmc...
we hired dissertation coaches this year to help some of the students whose advisors have left the university; it can take outside encouragement from someone in the field to get unstuck sometimes
and Mich... :)
the ot*** trick i used to get moving was finding a nonrelated friend who checked in with me once a week on the progress i made...knowing she would ask me what i did got me to actually start doing things. . .
haha my own dissetation coach i guess
or me6
:)
BBL. daughter is home from school
(I guess i don't think of the med. as an ocean but a sea not that there is really any significant difference)
bye mich
bye Mich :)
he hardly ever sees his advisors and hasn't set up regular other things either, despite admitting it might be a good idea.
there is nothing i can do. if i talk to him about it it just makes him feel worse.
i understand. . .i couldn't stand it when my sister would try to help! he will find his way eventually
((((hurshy))))the motivation really has to come from him - it's so hard to watch and not be able to do anything
meantime we need to cheer you up *puts on foil thinking cap*
i don't suppose you are close enough to join the meet up in NJ next weekend?
A dear friend helped me get "unstuck" by simply reminding me that " while you cannot do everything, you can always do something"
does the foil reflect your thoughts so they don't get lost?
and it helps keep the bad thought away. . . .
not to mention the fashion statement
:)
.....running to the kitchen to make a foil cap..........
lol
Hi all
they used to be all the rage in babbleland. . .
There's probably a pile in the corner of the PB
no doubt!
lol...yes, we really should straighten up in there :)
i just learned that March 18 through 24 is National Fix a Leak Week
hehe...that's funny :)
i wonder if i should make a leak to fix to show solidarity
:)
should really be able to put a s in front of hi6/21
true smores
it is most definately a word :)
The first thing we all thought of.
:)
Silly Enable :)
hi kap
Hi. what a funky day.
how so Kap?
In the dumps.
whats up kap?
sorry :(
Nothing's up. Just feeling crappy. No specifics.
i just found out that my boy is on googlemaps at Varnum and GA ave in DC. . . he took a pic of the google driverless car and apparently it returned the favor. . . .
cool jmc :)
Cool
Cheer up Kap...almost the weekend :)
*puts out bunches of lavendar around the chog*
"adds chocolates"
it is the pre-spring time of year. . . everyone gets restless and mopey . . .
OK.
too many almost words here.
A lot of it is the awful weather we've been having. Don't know when I've last seen sunshine
Sorry to say I must be off now...gotta get some things done.
Hi and bye bichon :)
hi bich
bye smores
hi jmc, Kaplan
Be back later...happy babbleing all :)
i see the nickname for the religious folks i am about to go visit down in harrisonburg today. . .
Does someone have a list? Gonna need it today
molls usually has one and so does volley
yes they both do
got it, wanted to see stats for the k.
oh well i must be off. . . the cat wants to be fed for some fool reason. . .
172 left . . . .*poof*
why is the sh 4/5 allowed and the one who does it isn't?
because everybody poops.
what is the point of making a category that nobody is not in.
i had a dream last night that i discovered a new electric razor for women that gave a really perfectly close shave and was totally painless.
what a silly thing to dream about.
If it also stops the hair regrowing you're onto a winner hurshy
it was just a dream that i found that someone else had made one that i could buy, not that i invented it. so i don't think i'll be making any $ off it.
:)
Half way 121 / 121 ;)
morning all, why is the sh4 allowed but not the one that does it?????? lol
because everybody poops.
That's the question of the day. Hi Mary
Word blind, need a break, happy babbling all

Good morning, all. Name that proper noun: French impressionist.
anyone find a use for the "tion?"
monet!
yes rob, don't me7 it!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
aha
he7?
the person who you list in your will is an inhe7 of your stuff
tks hursh
Odd that there's no plural to that he7.
yes there is
Oh. Duh. So there is.
it is very twisty!
105 left. Time for lunch. Later, kiddos. *POOF*
OK---guess I'm just dense---I thought I knew the word you guys were cluing about the will recipient but I can't find that word in the grid with the spelling I'm using. What am I missing?
change the last vOwel
or the third vowel
that isn't there
Nope---not getting it. I get to the first r and come to a dead end. I'm sure it's going to be embarrassing if I actually find it.
go up toward the s in the corner
mimi -- are you starting with i or h?
she, another word for me, a mountain cliff
With i.
it starts with the H. no prefix.
HE + **ver + ***ture
and plural
I'm tempted to throw the computer out the window now....why can't I see this???
Sorry to be making everyone crazy trying to help!
HE + it is w***ten + either this ** that
it follows the path of a figure 8
covkeyed
Thank you!! I've never heard that word used without the in first. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
cockeyed
dont forget to make it plural as well. :)
Whew--too bad it's not early evening and martini hour!
It's always 5 o'clock somewhere!
5:15 pm here :-)
True---just can't imagine a martini at 10 in the morning...but it is tempting!
Zoo and owl, are you guys encouraging me to drink?! Like I need encouragement! LOL
hehe
I wouldn't do that! Just letting you know.
Thanks, you guys. Gotta go for now. Back later to try some more. Have a great one and I appreciate your willingness to get me un-crazy.

Hi Scrabs
Hi bichon
Did you already finish, bichon?
Surely you jest Scrabs. I still have 95 to go and I'm fading fast.
111 left for me but I will stop soon.
Help me6,24 please
males + ***e the handicapped
sorry, that wasn't pc.
Hi dawg--I don't get the clue anyway
Another word for "employ" the handicapped
Thanks
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Lickety were to magically appear and most of us would just love him forever?
i agree, peach. wish his page were automatically linked to the babble server or however it works. i love lickity to bits anyway.
I love Lickety too. I get concerned when he is a no show during the week.
My printer is down......so I'm unable to get the lists that our other players post.
Peach, just copy and paste the list to a word document and then minimize it and refer to it when needed.
gapeach.... do you have a "notepad" on your computer ?
That's how I do it.... copy and paste onto my notepad feature, and "x" out the words as I find them.
I don't think so, diane. If I do, I'm not smart enough to use it. LOL
The notepad is a skinny little window and fits nicely along the side of the babble window.
Peach, then bring up someone's profile that has the list and minimize it when not in use.
Molly, that is a great idea!
Diane are you on a Mac or Windows? Notepad is not a skinny window when I bring it up.
I'm on Windows.... and I think it has always come up small..... I'm going to see now if I am able to widen it.
i used excel and c&p a list on that
Oh yes, I am able to change the size of my notepad.... even to the full width of my screen
Using Excel is the most like having a Lickety list. You have to do all the work though.
it's how i did it before lickety's clues. slow but effective.
Thanks Diane. I will have to mess around with notepad sometime. I rarely use it.
You're welcome Molly. I am not too proficient at excel, so find the notepad easier for me.
Everybody does what works for them. And then we all say YAY when Lickety comes back. : )
agree :-)
I have ye5-14 and yo4-6.....please tell me the one I'm missing.....thanks
yo4/10
Thanks much, Molly.
Need to check email.....bbl.
hi again all!
Hi sue :-)
hi diane!
I would take a hint for any 8-letter word...
plural the mo7.32...a type of lizard or the think you might call your computer screen
ho 8/50 plural of ho 7/36
thank you very much! Got it!
estrogen for one ;-)

Now I can go to bed happy (nbs, nbt, and more than half way)
