Hi all -- something's amiss -- Expert is working but the Lickety section is blank although I see he has the list up. Any suggestions? I was out and came back in...
Well done kids .. still looking ..
Me too!
let me check Jill
nbt nbs
No idea jill :(
list is ok for me Jill
Weird
I also have the list - hope it sorts itself soon
ef 7; ef 8
ty Dee - I'd forgotten those words until you clued them!

Babble shows up in Internet Explorer although I use Firefox. In the Lickety space I'm getting "This program cannot read this webpage format" and says I can Go back to the previous page (??? -- what previous page?) and offers More information, which I guess I have to try. What do you think?
Hmm. ill check it on firefox one sec
I think the new version of IE is not compatible with the internet.
so7
Tear hair out time, Jilli. No help I'm afraid. I'm a Mac user!
it works for me on firefox Jill
lol seain ..
works in Chrome, too
I can not get Lickety's list since I went Windows 7. The next morning -- yes. It's a date thing...
H's done
The "More information says "This error (HTTP 406 Not Acceptable) means that this program was able to receive information from the website you visited, but the information was not in a format that it can display." I wonder if Lickety has the answer -- or Dr God.
How can I get Babble Expert out of IE and into Firefox?
It just automatically went into IE -- I didn't choose it.
Babble expert is tied to IE for me and the list is there for me
I hate it. I want it to use Firefox becase it takes forever to load if I use IE
Same here, cos
125 words and I'm bidding all a good night! *poof*
Night Une :)
Bye une
Yesterday, I also got a blank Babble page and this message in the middle: "Floating point division by zero." Lickety wanted a screen shot, but it didn't work.
It's so weird -- when I enter words I get the green signal.
Erda, the Babble page is there -- just the Lickety clues section is blank
crap.. now I have to get past 125
huh thats odd
Jilli, the next morning -- everything functions like a Swiss watch...

good morning
Good morning ruby {{hug}}
{{smores}} I'm glad you liked the pictures
now I'd ike to see pix of your girls
:) she is beautiful
I'll round some up and send you soon :)
did I send you the ones of ruby, rufie and me? I just found them again last night while looking for something else on this ew mexed-up computer
Yes, you did :)
lovely
this is one of those grids where yu just add an s to everyting!
yep....S's everywhere
did you see the 9 clue?
no, but I found it anyway
does that refer to a mole? which looks like it has one on its no**
good for you! I wouldn't have ...lol
when we first moved here, they built tunnels in the garden
they are both cute and ugly.....
Hello
yes...lol...more on the ugly side though
Hi Alexis :)
gm alexis
How's it going?
Still evening for me :)
We had a few show up last year...but my cat took care of them :)
it dépends how you feel about rodents. We have a family of long-haired mice living Under the bird feeder and they are very cute and fat (from all the suflower seeds)
one of them is about the size of a rat, but bright Brown and very cute
Rodents can be cute... from a distance
yes, I love watching them through the window, wouldn't be so keen were they in the house
Okay Allexis...same cat woke me up and can't get back to sleep....
Yes, they are cute, just stay outside :)
I spoke with "our" vet yesterday and she's all lined up for Tuesday or Wed
Yea!!!
Your kitty sounds adorable, Smores
yes, but also a pain in the butt...lol
we have a neighborhood cat who hangs out near the feeder, too, but she doesn't come very close because of buster
buster?
Mr. Enormous Rufie who, at 14 months weighs about 75 lbs
is that your nickname for Rufie?
lol
a dog by any names.....
:)
many*
He's going to be so happy Friday
new little playmate :)
either that or he'll think she's a toy and grab her by the eck (I don't think so)
eekk....I certainly hope not
we are planning to be very careful when introducing them
and I think, having been in a litter with 4 boys she'll be pretty tough and sturdy
yes, that's very wise...but I'm sure they will soon be best of friends.
husband will stay home with him while I go to fetch the pup
Introducing cats to each other is always fun.
this should be fun as well
lol...NOT
I put the old one in a room with the door shut and let the little one check out the house. Then they smell each other through the door and get a little used to each other. Works pretty well.
I have a feeling tht Rafie will be in charge after a few months. Female chows are much tougher than the male
Aren't chows mean?
good plan Alexis
when people breed the, the females have to be muzzled or they would hurt or maim the males, even though the males are bigger
we've had six and they've all been exceptionally gentle just protective of me.
My friend had a chow but then she had a baby and the chow hated the baby
none of them has even bitten anybody and Ruby, once she got old, showed her teeth once or twice
They had to give away the dog because they thought it would hurt their baby
ever*
that's scary
the cat I used to have was very jealous when Phylicia was born.
I told her she should have given away the baby
Keep the dog
these dogs, especially the males, are very mellow
I was thinking that, too, alexis, but didn't dare say so
LOL...Alexis
shame on you both :)
I always say so... but I am anti-children. It is expected of me :)
(bad nel)
lol
yoou must be my DIL but Under a pseudonym
ona
No. It's just growing in popularity.
I feel bad for my son, but, as the French would say, it's not my onions.
I would never date someone that wants kids. That would be a huge conflict of interest.
I take it he wants kids?
he et the issue go a long time ago and they are very happy together
they've been together about 18 years
That's good
I always loved kids, but said I would never have any
I was happy with having one; I fell in love with him the 1st time he kicked
I waited until I was 35...very glad I changed my mind :)
I was only 19 and had been married just 6 month when I got pregs
what a surprise!
:)
my mother was 35 when I was born and she was my BFF!!!!
hadn't even finished university
I've said I don't want kids since I was a kid. People always said, "Wait til you get older." I'm 35... still never had the desire to have kids.
lol...
DIL comes from a very large, poor family and made the decision early
I feel sorry for my friends with kids. I always have. It just looks awful to me.
really?
I was happy with my choice and feel happy with son's, as well
I babysat for my friend for an hour recently. Felt like I was in prison.
LOL
he has a double career which wouldn't be possible wih kids (or even a dog|)
And she never sleeps or has time for herself. Can't work or do anything she wants.
I just don't see the appeal
They are a handful....
I was very Lucky with my son as he was an angel-baby. Looked like one (blonde and blue-eyed) ad slept through the night at one week
But I'm glad I changed my mind. Different strokes as the say
Yes. It certainly isn't for everyone.
This computer capitalizes when it feels like: words like Lucky, Under, etc. What is it thinking? LOL
Should be some IQ requirements for reproduction. Some sort of licensing.
coran
speaking of IQ -- not a word
At least you know that...so many people, especially very young, can't wait to have kids.
My friend from school was pregnant at 13
She has 7 kids now and she's my age
They think aww...they're so cute and want to dress them up...then reality kicks in.
EEkkk..wow
I was Lucky all around -- ws able to finish school and go on to have a couple of splendid careers and wound up here, retired with dogs and a garden. How bad is that|?
Not bad at all
Wonderful Ruby :)
7 kids is too many unless you're very wealthy and have help
But when you think about it... it used to be that way.
My grandma was 14 when she married my grandpa.
It used to be that wasy, but many of the children didn't survive
Yes, I'm the youngest of 8
the youngest is always the shwweetest, smores, like you!
There's 8 in my dad's family. 5 of them were born at home
lol...
My oldest brother and sister were born at home.
One girl and 7 little brothers... I can't imagine how she survived!
My closest friend is one of 12, two sets of twins and one set of triplets, but they had lots of money and her mother, at almost 90, still plays golf etc.
Wow. I can't imagine having so many siblings
Wow...lucky she was the oldest
I actually can't imagine sharing my mom with a sister. I'm so glad I don't have a sister.
and they have one reunion a year in some exotic place
That's wonderful Ruby
LOL..only child heh?
I have a brother
:)
My first husband was an only child, my son is one, my sister's husband is one and she had one. Only sons, pffftr!
2 girls for me
2 girls is perfect
I would have lijked to have a daughter, but my first marriage fell apart
Mine too...
Mine too
lol
and my whole life would have een different without the ability to change jobs, careers, etc.
19 is too Young to marry
mmm...not that divorce is funny..but
23 is too young to marry, too
Hell I waited til I was 30
and this husband has 3 kids from his first marriage (only sees 2 of them), 5 grandchildren (none of whome he sees), 2 greats (no interest) and 3 ex-wives.
still didn't work
Damn, smores
3 ex-wives, Ruby!
life is very strange.
Wow!
The best 1part was my many many years between husbands
Bluebeard
Wow is right!!
My boyfriend has a couple kids from his first marriage. I can tolerate them because they're not little.
I've kept his Relationship alive with his eldest, sending her plane tickets once or twice a year
And they live in another state
so the one daughter you've mentioned that comes and visits doesnt have kids?
she has a daughter and two grands
So do they spend the summer Alexis?
but he has no interest and not much in her, either
Wow
They come occasionally, but not the whole summer
They're actually coming tomorrow but just for a few days
I just keep on keeping on, doing one thing at a time and trying to keep the house organized
Spring break?
Gotta puppy proof the place again heh?
and my garden is beautiful as long as Ruffino doesn't destroy the spring flowers like he did last year
Yes. Spring break
Could I get a clue for fe7, please?
festoon
the garden is very secure and big enough for the dogs
sorry
Hahaha! You got it!
I found it thanks
that was my best word, marc, I'm glad you found it and the pl
I was writing such a clever clue, too
Hi Marc....sorry, been chatting don't have it, or much else...lol
LOL...thanks
but I am happy with this morning's chat!
as Sprite would say "easy, peasy" NOT!
Me too Ruby...the grid will still be here later :)
I think I'm gonna go watch some Top Gear
of course I did have the last part of the word :)
I'm babbled out
Bye Alexis...have a good one :)
I've been doing this for ore than 3 years and have had FW about 6 times! d'uh me
bye alexis
Later everyone
:)
Did you get Babble Expert on your new computer?

Sprite put it on my old one, but I was never able to use it. So I don't list and don't really care
I got it thanks

Bye Ruby...wonderful chatting with you {hugs}
arco arcos arcs
Good morning everyone.
Morning feenix, quiet here today
good morning e1
Morning all. Nono, could you post words I don't have?
Is there a list somewhere? My Babble Ex doen't work.
gramma if you click on lickety's babble clues that should help
I get an error message
is that for Babble Expert or lickety's clues
Both
hmm, must be something on your end, both are working for me, I don't know if anyone has a list or not, sorry
I copied it to google and it worked. Thanks
glad it works for you, I would be lost without either one
It's so much faster with the list
yes it is
though I try not to go to the list until I've gone through the grid a couple of times and looked at the chat log
Me too. Unless I'm having a dumb spell or in a hurry.
EF 7 & 8? Clue please.
don't have those yet, but will now be looking

Hi Sprite!
Hello everyone!
hiya car.ee :)
hi sprite and car
Hello pabtrek!
gm, everyone!
hi pab :)
and dawg :)
hiya, sprite, car, pab
Hello Dawg!
Hello everyone :)
so... what's the verdict on today's nice-sized grid?
hi smores :)
:)
so far it's a fun one. challenging without too much frustration. down to my last 17 and ready to list.
wow sounds good!
hi smores!
Hi dawg :)
Hi smores!
Hey car :)
and .eeyore..lol
Oh you know, what one person finds easy, another finds difficult. Which is why this is a fun game for a lot of different people.
of course these last 17 may be the ones that make me scream.
Hi Molly!
hi Molly
Is the eeyore icon up? I am still seeing my weemee.
*grins* I hear ya, dawg!
saved the best for lost...lol
Yes. HOORAY for Eeyore!!
teehee...I meant last...but...
when I was on this AM I said that Sprite would probably call this "easy peasy" NOY!
I see your sweet eeyore
or even NOT
Hi again ruby :)
hiya ruby. Will tell you so4. So far so good.
Ruby, Sprite calls them all easy peasy. : D
LOL! My computer does this all the time. I change the icon, but it still shows the old one. No matter how many times I refresh / log in it is still the old one.
Enjoy the Eeyore Easter Love!
we have the first sunshine in months but I've been told it wob;t ;ast, even 'til Sunday
mine too car...usually the next day it shows
actually, I don't :P Just when they are.
Then get out there and soak it up, Ruby.
{{molly}}
I changed it yesterday.
hiya ruby!
Enjoy, ruby!
it's sunny but not warm
but at least we can see the lake
well so much for that theory car. :)
we have sun and no warmth too. so i sit near a window and soak up the heat that way.
same here...it did manage to get up to 42 yesterday
can we get vitamin D that way?
no, not through glass, as far as I know. Outdoors seems to be needed. We will have to wait until temps go up a bit, ruby. Still SO cold here!
I will be so happy when (if) this winter ends
agree with sprite. probably not, but it feels nice.
absolutely, dawg. And soaking up warmth is good for us too, we need more than just vitD
it certainly helps the attitude.
and we should have daffodils by next week and the primroses are out in the bottom garden
sure does.
Ruby, you don't get the same effect (Vitamin D wise) from sun through the window. But it does improve your mood.
I need all the vitamin D I can get!
does boiling the vitamin D milk remove the vitamin?
Ruby, if you truly need the Vitamin D, you should take a supplement.
yep...that's where the cats always lay in window
Actually, during the winter months, in many places, it's hard to absorb the Vitamin D effects from the sun because the sun never gets high enough in the sky for its ultraviolet B rays to penetrate the atmosphere.
not sure ruby?
..especially during the winter months.
I don't take vitamins.....
I drink a lot of vit D enriched milk
my smart little dog does the same thing. Am happy for him. Sometimes at the end of the day, there is sun on my couch :)
I take Vitamin D supplements all year long, but feel absolutely no difference from it.
True Molly
but you are a youngster, molly
ever since Scrabs told us about how important vit D is for our health and how most of us have a shortage, I take additional vit D.
Same here ruby, I drink lots of milk and eat yogurt every day
You probably don't feel a difference because your level is good. It is when it is very low or depleted that you will feel bad.
I read that taking calcium suppléments is actually bad for your heart
It's unfortunate that the most sun exposure some people get is walking to and from their cars.
I can feel the difference if I stop taking it.
I do also take a multivitamin
yeah. I hate walking to my car. I think I will ride my bike to the car in future.
the only time I ever took vitamins was when I was pregs
I was actually very low when I got tested and was put on the maximum dosage at first, and felt no difference.
I take a daily vitamin, vitamin B complex, calcium, along with my other meds.
I take vit D and omega 3. And something with a long name for my joints.
Agreed, that's why it was never a big issue in the past, people did more outside
glucosamine and chondroitin
46 left and have to get back to mail and enticements to y so to visit
that's it, car.ee :)
By Ruby! Have a great day!
clue for the no6/7?
my son*
bye ruby
bye everybody
hagd, ruby
Bye for now ruby...try to enjoy the sun a bit :)
That is the best thing when I am following my Weight Watchers strictly...I feel so much better because I am getting more vitamins and minerals that my body needs. You think I would follow it better!!!!
gotta get daughter to school...be back in a bit
Bye smores!
dawg: when you don't buy stuff on NASDAQ
Hi all :)
hi Liz :)
Hello Lizlin!
Car, I read something cute the other day. The best thing to do on a diet is avoid the "five white sins". Pasta, rice, bread, potatoes and full fat dairy. : D
Good advice!
I derailed during my birthday weekend and have not gotten back on track. Last night I spent the night suffering with my old esophageal reflux issues and still feel the "fist in my back" this morning. Warning taken! Back on track today!
hehehe, ty sprite. although i first read it as NASCAR rofl
Which basically means fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy and lean meat, which are the staples of almost every diet.
roflol dawg! I couldn't remember the famous street... Bond Street?
Wall Street
wall street.
<---- not getting the NO clue at all :(
that is the one. Thanks Molly.
and thanks dawg
no + most of what they trade on Wall Street. It is rather twisty in the grid.
car, if you are a commodities trader, you sell ****s and bonds. (or buy them)
TY! Got it now!
ty sprite. wouldn't have got that in a million years! Good clue
senior moment for that street. Happens more and more to me... little doors in my head that refuse to open when I need them to :)
and tadone!! finito!!
yvw :D
Wahoo! Congrats Dawg!
wtg Dawg!
WTG lbd :)
hooray, ((LBD))

Apparently the ALT + 13 no4 thing does not work for many people .Not at all for Mac users, and not for some PC users either. Don't know why. ♪ it works for me.
good morning, Bea
((Annie)) good morning, Happy Passover
I have a problem..Im on Babble Expert and when I open Lickety's clue this is what I read--"this program cannot read this webpage format"...any solutions
Wow Annie, TO was having similar problems last night. I thought it was just her computer.
oh Annie, I wish I could help. Not a clue as to how to fix that
I've got the same annie
hello Katie
Annie, I had the same problem. I copied it and opened it in google.
hello gramma
How do you open something in Google?
gramma, did you open BabbleExpert in google? How?
I have 1 left. It's a silly 4 letter word and for the life of me I can't find it.
I couldn't open Expert in google. I opened Lickety that way
Hello again to all
wouldn't you copy the web address and go to google and past it?
Paste it where? Google is a web browser.
gramma, how did you open Lickety in google?
((Annie)) good morning, Happy Passover. Sorry you are having these issues
I must scoot. Lots to do today. ((Hugs)) to all of you. See you tomorrow
((Mom)) thanks for your Passover greeting.
Right click Lickety's hit save target as. Then open google and paste it.
Have a good day Mom.
you're welcome, Annie
thanks Molly, I wish you the same.
Bye, Mom.
gramma, I dont know how to do that. What would I cllick on--there is nothing there.
bye bye Bzzz
bye Bea
"Save target as" is not an option when I right click.
And yes Annie, if it won't open, you would have nothing to click on.
Molly, do you have Lickety's list?
At the bottom of this page under Friends of Babble in the 2nd column at the top it says Lickety's Babble Clues. Right click on that and what are your options?
must be off for now. hagd everyone. may bbl to visit.
I would suggest that someone email Lickety. If this many people are having a problem, there must be something wrong.
Could it be an isue with the browser they are using?
I just recently started experiencing this.
Hello, All :-)
Bea you have a point. If anyone is using Internet Explorer, I would suggest another browser.
So4? If I could find it I would finish so**. Before the so** settles. Clue, please?
Hi zoozzoom
Gramma, are you talking about Google Chrome? Google Chrome and Google are two different things.
NM. I had it in the wrong place.
Sorry Google Chrome
Morning, zooz.
Must bzz...Working on Baby's quilt today.
Pfft!
Molly, can you get it?
Hello. Just came on and saw there are issues...Lickety does know about the problem but didn't have time to check out what was causing it ntoday I think
Okie dokie. I'm off. See you all tomorrow.
hello lynxxx, then I wont bother him with an email complaining about this issue. thanks for letting me know that he knows. He is such a dear person.
hi Annie - yes he is a sweetheart to even bother continuing to maintain the list for us.
does anyone think Lickety should receive some sort of compensation for maintaining his list day after day? I think so.
of course! has been the subject of much discussion here - all pretty fruitless though.
Well, that makes an "army" of two. I really do think he should be paid for his service.
Molly, do you have Babble Expert?
Annie, I would be happy to pay for Lickety's list. I'm pretty sure he could change his site to a "pay to view", but so far has not.
Annie, I don't use Babble Expert.
You know, I think I might contact him and suggest he put a Paypal or something on his clue list, then if people are so inclined they can donate some money direct to him. DrG doesn't want any extra money but I am certain Lickety isn't in the same situation
Going to do it now
hello all
I dont know how to use Paypal
couldn't I just mail him a check for his service?
Hi Owl, are you still have a problem opening Lickety's list?
Annie, PayPal is not hard. You just open an account and link it to your bank account. You can then send or receive money through them. It's not much different than paying bills on line.
i haven't tried yet
down to 23 without it
Molly, I do not bank on line nor will I put any info online re: checking acount
same here. but i am thinking of opening a speial account just for that. would link to small credit union account with very limited funds
That is the way to do it TO. A bill paying account.
Owl, I wouldnt know how to do that also. I am very computer illiterate. I just google, play some games and email. That's it.
i openend a nominal account when the credit union did to get a premium.
SONTAR HA!
i am thinking i want to use ebay and the like to sell off stuff. i would use someone who was a proven on line seller but have not found one in my circle of friends
would much rather pay someone i know who could use the $
craig's list scares me.
email sent to Lickety
Hi TOwl and Hurshy
hi back. i am going to take a break, bbl
later, Owl
hi
Hi Hursh, you Whovian you. : D
stats for the 9 please?
:D

thanks Molly
name that proper noun! when he was a lad he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large, and now that he's grown he eats five dozen eggs so he's roughly the size of a BAAAAARGE!
Asnog?
Gaston
no - it's from disney's beauty and the beast...
ding ding ding molly!
morning all...can anyone clue the no 6/7 combo for me please?

Lickety is up Judi
i only have the lizards for the e

Hi TO :)
That mole is a cute little thing. Looks like it has a propeller on its face.
wait i can't get it. let me try the babble page link
Computer working okay now TO?
i cannot get lickety. did the link change?
smores lickety was down.
I believe it is a problem to do with Explorer. I can get him but I use Chrome
Not that I'm aware of....I'm on Expert
lynxxx, how did you get Lickety on Chrome?
I'm on Expert too. I get a "program can't be found" message.
smores, Im on Expert too
oh heck. i still need 16 and i hat begging.
I'm on Expert and mine seems to be working
Judi, I am getting "this program cannot read this webpage format"
What do you use Judi - Explorer?
Yes, lynxxx.
perhaps someone will post the clues in their profile later
Mine is on the left side of the grid
My daughter downloaded Chrome for me - Free. Expert just works
Just wondering what the other 8s are. I have the mole.
then it appears Explorer is what is causing you the issue.
cr 8 grumpiest
ef 8
ef8 - common word! - not!
I'm using Internet Explorer
I use Chrome
Can you download Chrome gemini

Hmph. No clue on the ef8.

How did you get Lickety's list?

To see if it was up today.
To see if it was up today.
which ST is it for the 9?
okay, thanks, will get out of Expert and try another way
the bottom ST
grrr...gonna have to peek at lickety...can't find the last 2 o's
It is ST in the right corner, mlf
expert is the best. I go on there when I hit the wall.
hego, there is no list on Expert
Yes I always use Expert
I'm using expert and I have a list.
I have it Annie

Some of us are having issues with the list on Expert
is it a word i should know?
I misunderstood earlier, I thought you had it
i dont use expert anymore
smores, did you get the list on Expert?
Annie my expert is up and running.
It's a compound word ML...type on mole
Yes Annie
Not mine, hego
Hmmm.......
going to take a break for a while
Annie, have you tried restarting?

Type of mole, mlf

Bye for now dear...maybe it will be working when you return, if not, I listed the clue in my profile :)

Hi hokie :)
last na 5/12 clue please
plural of the base for the other ones
I have 2, how many are there?
ty smores got it
only 2 na5/12's hokie
yw :)
I think people can get to the clue list from here, they are just not able to open Expert, which is a whole different site.
Hi Molly
I'm on Expert and have clues available
ditto smores
I think it's something with IE...not sure
dont know smores i have IE and no problems today
Hi ursh :)
hello smores and all
weird...I put lickety clues in my profile for anyone who might need them
57 left - I think I can hit the list.
:)
As long as the link to Lickety's list from here works, which I think it does, people should have access to clues.
I have ten left and can't find them
I have ten left and can't find them
Ursh, Mac or Windows? If Windows, what version?
It does; I just got it.
Some were having problems from the link Molly, getting the 404error TO had yesterday.
It's odd, works fine for me, I checked both ways.
I use Chrome, FTR
worked fine for me
Okay, the only people I read about were the ones getting the 404 error by trying to access Lickety Expert.
Dunno...mine seems fine. I have windows 7
wow, just completely guessed the ef7 & 8
lol...wtg hokie
still shocked that's actually a word
:)
Once you have played this game long enough, you will believe that any odd looking collection of letters is a word. Case in point...cwms.
put a rope around my neck...took forever to find my last 2 no's
which I never get, but there are some weird ones I do remember.
So true Molly, also all the alternate spellings.
hmm, not able to extrapolate the go5/24. any clues? P&&TY
think Muppets :)
ah, got it! ty
now I will have the Muppets theme song in my head all day.
or what my daughter used to call *arb**** beans :)
lol...sorry about that :)
hello! What is Expert?
Hi Alleyn...Babble Expert is a download that has the grid, clues and resources all on a page.
I find it much easier :)
Do I reach it through Google? Or how pls?
Several players have a link to download it in their profile...hold on and I'll find it
Thank you Smores
If you scroll to the bottom of Lickety's page, there is a note about it.
Here ya go Alleyn http://r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zip\n
uusue has it in her profile
Have never used Babble Expert ....
Hi BR :) that's all I use anymore
have never used it either
I have been finished for hours ... see no need to bother with it.
I use a Mac.......doesn't seem to work.......shoot
oh crap...I forgot chat always adds \n
Tiny url...tiny url...
yeah...I know, I was lazy, sorry
Fireworks! now to check out this Babble Expert...
and then get busy doing stuff!
She isn't on line, damn it
WTG hokie :) wooho
who isn't online Alleyn?
uusue
hets
sorry
good morning all, Lickety came in last night and explained that he had a problem and didn't have time to fix it, would later
Oh...that's where I copied the link from...just drop the \n at the end...however it still might not work on Mac
From what I have heard, Expert does not work on Macs.
looks cool, maybe I'll try it tomorrow.
Hi flosey, glad to know it's something he is aware of and is able to fix
Thank you all. Will have to struggle on without it. Only 115 to go!
I like it hokie...so much easier to list
yes, a few of us were unable to get it back last night
Lickety is a good egg. <---Easter pun
:)
he sure is Molly
actually Lickety is a hard boiled character
Shirr
now that's just "rotten" ruru
who needs to come out of his shell
who needs to come out of his shell
you just "crack" yourself up, don't you?
you guys are very funny
we have sunshine for the first time in weeks ND i'M FEELING VERY MELLOW AND WARM
well I do like to yolk around
Hey ruby :) welcome back
but didn't mean to use caps, sorry
<---scrambling for a good comeback
np ruby...glad you got to enjoy some sunshine
still CAN'T FIND THE ARROWS OR i WOULD SAY (ARROWS) RURU
is it not next to your m ?
nope
Ruby has a French keyboard.
my m is Under the question mark and my question mark is Under the double s
and why it capitalizes the unders is beyond me!
I thought they switched it out for you
what arrows are you looking for?
no, it's English underneath, but it is still correcting for French, hence accent marks now and then
to point at my name, e.g. ruby (arrows) buggie
Ruby are they not next to your W?
The < signs I mean
my w is Under the z
the bigger/smaller signs ?
on the Fr keyboard, tht's where the arrows are, but not in real life
yes, buggie, but I can live with this, just can't declare my love for anybody LOL
:)
the < and > are on their own key, under the Q on the azerty keyboard
nel is drinking gin, smiling in the sunshine, and reheting leftovers for dinner. How bad is that?
on some laptops tat key may be moved though
lol...sounds good to me ruby :)
the Q key is the A
this isn't a laptop
let me get this straight, you're using an azerty keyboard, but the pc tinks it's a qwerty ?
thinks... I can't type today
Almost noon, guess I should go get some things done... {hugs} all around...have fun everyone :)
My tech guy, who installed it, brought me a French keyboard, but I can touch-type the usual qwerty letters. Just having trouble with the symbols which I guess I didn't touch-type
ahhhh, okay, then they're uppercase on the .; key and /: key (bottom row, 2nd and 3rd from the right)
thank you vm, buggie, wouldn't have looked there
<loves buggie
good morning all -- crashed early last night, so just starting out
hello nan
you're welcome, wikipedia has some good images of the azerty and qwerty layouts to compare, just ignore the azerty <> as it's an extra key
that's funny, why would they put an extra key
my son says I should just by another keyboard
I don't remember, buggie, where are you in France? Just getting old, I guess
european keyboards needed the extra key as they all accents to deal with too
Poitiers
OMG, I almost married somebody from Poitiers in 1979. I hope that's not you!
<loved Poitiers
he would be very anhgry
well, you can set the computer to the french layout, so you type what you see, or you can get a US keyboard. I think my mu uses a canadian one (qwerty with accents)
and now, dinner.
I won't forget again buggie
and tell your mum, hi
oh no, I'm a bit too young to have been getting married in 1979 ;o)
hahahah
bon appétit then!
merci
Ah, we love our Gin Girl. : D
I guess she can be a Gibson Girl too, as that is a brand of gin. : D
hello babblers - weather report from the great white north - big fluffy white things furiously dancing in 50 kmph (30 mph) winds <NOT impressed>
hi kate
nice sunny day here -- 9:42 and 10C already
hi nan, another smallish grid today, won't be many folks about
nice! it's 5 C here supposed to be 10 friday :)
almost finished - 12 to go
did it take you long?
no - listed at 3/4 point
stuck on the ef 7-8, though
i'll have a look, but it's probably something strange...
ah - found them - thought I'd tried the combo before!
gtood for you :)
ef 3 babblet + not later
<---- scooping up the clues. thanks nan, would have broken my monkey on that one for sure!
do you have the no 6-7 combo?
*no 6/21 - 7/32
no, i just started nan. do yu need it, or are you going to clue it for me?
no - looking for it
i'll look too
no + put goods on a store shelf - last letter
and my last one is an os 7/28
tvm nan... hoovering up the no looking for the os, but you are much quicker than i
well, it's not osocrat - tried it 3 times ;)
it has to start with either oss or ost
just "waking up" here, math skills are poor - thinking it had to have a 2 point tile - d'uh!
drawing nothing but blanks -- will leave it for a while...bbl
by nan
good afternoon everyone:)
{{{{{((((crossy))))}}}}}
:)) ((kate))
back for a few more, or are you finished?
i am just starting:)
and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!
A praying mantis has one ear.
seems friendly enough, but i am just starting out myself :) i'm afraid there are quite a few c words today.. lol, one ear? no wonder they are so funny looking
am off to a late start.hed to sterilize the kitchen.needed a good clean out
so i guess they hear in mono, not stereo
and as you know,they bleed purple blood
sterilize? spring cleaning or OCD?
{{crossy}} you're making that up about purple blood????
nope,i am not,ruby
hello kate
I still have 40 left
just a tad of OCD today kate
why not? vulcan's blood is green, as everyone knows ;)
no Wonder their "wives" kill them
and what's wrong with OCD??
hey there ruby :-)
If I didn't have OCD I've never get anything done
and done and done.....
nothing - nothing - nothing wrong with OCDOCDOCD, perfectly normal - normal -normal ...
well,winston churchills said it best what chatting with a lady at a gala during the 40,s. she said "sir,if you were my husband ,i would do the world a great service and poison you" his reply was "madam,i assure you,that if your were my wife,i would drink it"
lol
love that quote crossy, you come up with some real zingers
:)
the female praying mantis beheading her mate after sex brought that to mind.it is amazing what floats around in crossy's head
... no cobwebs there, unlike my poor head )
dunk, at a party, Churchill was being forward and said to a woman, "Mdame, you are stupid" She said "Sir, you are drunk" to which he replied "yes, but I'll be sober in the orning"
drunk*
:-0
my mind is not sharp by any means,kate.think of it like a old railyard roundabout switching station.you know where you want to go,you even try to head there,but often you end up on a totaly different track.often those different tracks are interesting :)
I just ate 4 dates with crem cheese for desert I hope they're good for me....
sounds healty at any rate
tasty
healthy
yummy, and nutrition too ...but i digress ( little mensa line)
I once went to a mensa party, what a bunch of jerks!
that last comment of mine about the switching yard was plagerized from Stephen King and altered for my own use.please do not sue me Stevie;))
they are too full of themselves,ruby.too busy comparing brain pan sizes to be human
reminds me of Annie Hall which I saw \9again!) last night on TV
when I was in high school (100 years ago|), I worked in the dean's office and looked up everybody's IQ scores
very bad nel!
but my creedo is"if you read one book for your paper,it is plagerism.if you read 1000,it becomes research"
I wrote one decent paper in college and my prof accused me of plagiarizing because all the rest of my stuff was so bad
it depends on where you are ruby - twits in mensa to be sure, but lots of very nice people too... i thought mensa in europe was more of a way to meet people for dating? here each group varies quite a bit. in toronto, the monthly socials are always fun, and they plan outings and pub crawls a lot
lol
I'm sorry kate, that was many years ago and in Miami, where everybody was so coked up, who knew.
ruby is very naughty indeed.... tsk, tsk, tsk
I am sure it's different in different cities and it would be nice to be around people who can use sentences of more than 3 words
i find that the smarter the person,the more they destroy themselves when they let loose a bit:)
i wouldn't theink there'd be a mensan in all of miami... <snort>
ruby had a very long naughty period....just ask molly
touche!
She's still having it. Just trying to pretend like she's not.
we will ask molly all about it when she returns
and VOILA!
ah... molly was lurking, preparing to pounce! ;)
So let me see if I can make sense of this chat. Kate, you are a member of Mensa?
I'm going to have molly ghost-write y memoirs
No, I don't lurk, I just checked back in.
Molly intuits my secrets
lapsed, yes.. i don't think there's an active chapter in the sticks here. it's not to everyone's taste, but any one of you would qualify easily, i'm sure
ya think? lol
lining up for a copy of ruby's memoirs waiting for molly to spill the beans a bit on ruby's past
absolutely!
Hello. Just starting. NOt a member of mensa.
did you know that zona was the Fr word for shingles?
{{stidgmere}}
wouldn't like to have it in any language ;)
Hi ruby. Did not know the fr word for shingles. Do you have shingles?
My lips are zipped about Ruby's past. Also not a member of mensa.
Avez-vous le zona?
no, TG, probably because I neer had chicken pox
I think you have to have had the to get shingles
slinking off... that's what i get for telling. i don't tell anybody :((
my father had shingles once; it's the only time anybody ever saw him cry
{{smarty kate}}
Zona is the Hebrew word for prostitute!
I don't have shingles but got the vaccine. Kate, don't slink off, it doesn't become you and we know you are overly qualified for mensa.
<loves kate
didn't know there was a vaccine
that's hilarious!
nd hello girl
Zona is the Hebrew word for prostitute
Yes. Oh well. Being silly.
and naches is good luck, right?
See, this is why I'm not in Mensa. I can't do the math to figure out how you would be overly qualified to be in the top 2% IQ bracket. : D
Naches means deriving a sense of pleasure or enjoyment after making a big effort.
Naches means deriving a sense of pleasure or enjoyment after making a big effort.
or what you give your mother if you become a doctor
Don't know why I'm being repeated.
I think percentages are overrated and since things can now be 200% or even more, well, why stop at bell-shaped curves.
what's the cutoff for top 2 percent
Not like nachos, which means deriving a big sense of pleasure or enjoyment after making a big effort with cheese and tortilla chips. : D
a,em to that, molly!
amen*
You have a point Gran Mere. I would think a puzzle like this would be boring for someone of Mensa status. And trust me, I am never bored here. : D
bored? I don't think I've ever been bored
Mystified, stymied, stumped, yes. Bored with Babble, no.
tired, often. Bored,, never
and stuck, most of the time.....
I'm glad no one sees me monkeying. It is never a pretty sight when nonsense is the best type of word I can find.
I'm going to put a lovely quote from the NYT into my profile about friendship and the Internet
see you tomorrow
Good bye ruby foo.
you should see some of the drivel my monkey comes up with ;) bye (((ruby)))
I just put the long quote in my profile; it could have been written by many of us.
(my monkey is useless!)
Ruby, you need to fix "week"...add a k.
And community, add a c.
nice quote ruby, and so very true.. i think the babble community is fantastic, so incredibly supportive and compassionate. ( not mentioning typos as will be made fun of)
And a space in between for and about. Love, Your Proofreader
like your quote Ruby - it is so true
hi all, help pls with the 8's and 9
fe 7/40, and fe 8/55 (pl)
ty Kate, looking
ty, found them both
hi peri - only one i have so far
ok
sorry - ef 7/40, and ef 8/55 as well
ty, looking
oddly, the FEs and the EFs use all the same letters.
nan clued that one for me - 3 letter bablet +so 4/4 and pl
ty odd words
hi seain, how are you doing????
the muppet magician is here too!
eh, ear infection and cold, but alright. And you Kate?
cr8 crankiest
there is also an st/9 according to early chat
I fixed the typos
sorry to hear that seain, lots of people are down with something or other right now, must be the rotten weather. hope you are better so 4/4. did you get some antibiotics?
i will tomorrow
Sorry Ruby, one more. The second about needs a b. : )
too late, too lazy
thanks peri, hunting. :) to seain and ruby
there is an st8/9 but not seeing either one
hello seain, I'm sorry you're ill
hy, ruby, thanks. as unwell go, this is not too bad though.
just monkeyed the 8/9 combo - weird compound word and then pl
Peri, what twinkle twinkles and what you sniff with
like a mole
ty you all
missing one 8
I had no idea until today that moles had those.
ty, i'd not looked at that ST for it.
they are not quite cute -- almost
They are gross looking things.
<-----not partial to moles. they make holes in the yard
but as they're blind and can't look in mirrors, they don't know
ty teach, molly and ruby - another strange compound
bbs
They are fun to whack in the arcade though. : D
my mom had a dog that would catch them and play with them, then whine because they died.
hahah
<----- agrees with molly - LOVES whack-a-mole!!! :0
they ate about 200 tulip bulbs one year but then were gone. Perhaps tulips are toxic for moles
daffodil bulbs are toxic, don't think tulips are though - were there daffys too?
..certainly would have given them a helluva tummy ache!
no, no daffs, but had put in more than 300 tulip bubs the first year we were here
very few survived the onslaught
maybe seain's mom's dog was visiting?
there were extensive tunnels
tunnels such that fill dirt was needed?
did you plant more aftre the erradication of the little blighters?
no, once the moles were gones, the tunnels were too
our planet is amazing :)
by the 3rd year, there were about 30 tulips left but those survivors have multiplied to about 100 now IF Rufie doesn't destroy them as he did last year
oh - is the pup coming friday?????
it's my first garden, so every year is a revelation
YES!
yipppppeeee!!!! :)))) you won't have too much time for gardening this year - puppyhood is wonderful, but time-consuming for their humans ;)
I can't work in the garden when Rufie is around because he runs away with my Tools or my cushion or the branches I cut
heh. puppies are 'fun' that way.
you must post lots and lots of picture ruby - keep us abreast of developments rufie sounds very mischievious ;)
I can't wait to see his reaction to the puppy
how old is rufie?
he's a great boy, smart and very handsome
14 months
so he's still growing, he'll be enormous
you must put up a picture of ruffie as well! what breed is he? i'm sure they will get along famously, dogs are so social
big dogs are the best.
agree seain, love the biggies too very nice picture, by the way :))
always wanted to get 3 - a bouvier, a old english sheepdog, and a golden retriever.... love mastiffs, rotweillers, st. bernards and of course - newfies, but they would eat me out of house and home... not to mention take up all the room on the bed ;))
Missing one more 8 - have the CR, EF, FE,, and the ST - which one am i missing?
hello, back again
hello annie
youre missing the na 8/45
thnx annie - will look
hi annie :) now i have to hunt for the na and the cr...

Thanks MollyL
tvm molly :)
Hi again...just made up a pie recipe...I'll post it if it taste good, cooling now :)
hi smores, how's the snow bunny doing?
lol...he's just snow now
hi all! busy day today, just now getting started...
hi all
hey Sue, jmc :)
too bad ... are you getting more snow as well? hi jmc :)
.. and sue :)
hi jmc, kate, smores!
No..and that's fine by me...40's today upper 50's by the weekend :)
pretty much the same here, smores, except about 10 degrees cooler
Did you a least get a lot of sunshine today ?
toen council passed a resolution to change the name of our backwater burg to Fort Dreary ;)
<---hates waiting for things to cool
it was sunny earlier, smores, but it's cloudy now
*town
What?? lol..TO
ok, nbt was pretty easy
maybe youre a day behind us Sue...that was how yesterday was here.
haha speak for yourself uu!
<------ placing pie fork on dainty dessert plate awaiting some of smores' pie - what's in it? does it need ice cream or whipped cream?
always do, jmc :-)
yes, smores, do tell! What kind of pie?
It's my lastest invention...Mounds Meringue
sounds tasty already
take 5 bbs
:D I haven't made a cocoonut meringue in ages, but really wanted chocolate...soooo :)
some people feel like a nut. . ..
chocolate AND coconut? *gets in car to drive to smores house*
I made ganache and coated the pie crust...then added an extra 1/2 cup of coconut to my usual recipe...topped with meringue
nbt...got stuck onthe corner A
Drizzled the extra ganache on it after it came out of course :)
i am soooo proud of myself. . .i figured out a way to save a client $10,000 in taxes. . . he is liking me now!
wow...that's great jmc...he oughta throw you a nice bonus for that one :)
it was an obscure rule with alternative minimum tax. . . i surprised myself for thinking of it
BRB
bye
<----drooling over my empty dessert plate... considering the drive to indiana as well ;)
it does sound tasty!
mmmm....places Mounds pie, extra ganache and milk on sideboard
good going on the tax thing - hope they do give you a little extra for pulling a rabbit out of a hat ;)
he won't but i makes me happy anyway! i enjoy besting the system
Well, you're at least sure to get his repeat business
grandpa always said "a job well done is its own reward", understand the pride, but i like to eat occasionally ;)
true true. . . people are often very loyal to their tax preparer. . .
And he is sure to pass the word around
ah well back to the salt mines. . . .bbl
Bye for now jmc :)
bye jmc, see you friday
fishing for my last 3 words... must be using the wrong bait :(
:)
i find the 1 point tile words the hardest to monkey too many combinations and no hints to help with poijnt counts
true..
the st i'm hunting is especially elusive - too many st combos
yep...I'm working on S's right now too
finally found it!.. now for the ar words... again 1 point tile words... grrrr ;)
fireworks! they were fish!!!!
yay kate!!
(sorry, stepped away for a bit)
i wish i could start on tomorrow's grid....
do you need any help Kate?
WTG TK !!! woohoo :)
hi bichon!
hi bichon, thanks, but i set off the flares a minute ago yeah me! i usually have to beg for clues for the last few words...maybe i'm actually improving ;)
hi Sue, how goes it. You moved?
well done
ar
mostly, bichon, there are still a few things to get from the old house
Did you buy a new house?
no, we are renting
I am *never* moving again. My body is going out feet first
I didn't want to, but my ex defaulted on some properties I'd deeded to him in the divorce which ultimately led to me losing my house
i'm sure there's a level of hell where you must perpetually move house ;)
that's too bad Sue. With all you have going on with Frank too. How is your son doing
grrr...sorry to hear Sue
ugh, kate!
My son is doing well, bichon, I think the challenge of 5 engineering courses is what he needed
wishes sue's ex would go to a very bad place and stay there
also a new girlfriend who's an overachiever (has a lead position at the firm that puts those little ads on YouTube, and is going to med school at night)
That'll do it Sue
Med school at night. Didn't know you could do that
Good for him Sue
sounds like he's got a full plate - and then some!
I didn't either, bichon, it sounds crazy. When I was in grad school I worked about 20 hours a day (at least while I was taking courses)
I'm glad he's gotten over that other girlfriend
i guess no one needs any clues? i'm trying to psyche myself up to go out in the rotten rain/snow, but don't really want to...give me a reason to stay where i'm warm and dry ;)
he's been very thoughtful while Frank's been ill, too, comes over to walk the dog (also to do his laundry, haha), just brought me some lunch.
sounds like you trained him well sue
he really is a good kid, and is starting to come into his own (he's 23)
I could use the so7
I could use any 7, 8, or 9 :-)
so 7/32 pl of the so 6/21 before it.. which in turn is the so 5/12 before it with a vowel added on the end the 6 & 7 mean to calm or make at ease
enable should really discover zoot suits.
st 8/40 and st 9/54 combo.... st4/4 + sniffer and pl there are a few words for proboscis in herer today by the way
ah...thank you...7's done and 3 more S's down :)
I agree, winding!
agree winding, but it's probably a proper noun?
got the st words, thanks kate! nbs!
i thought tocs would work.. tic toc tic toc...
Is it really? Was there some guy named Zoot?
more 7 & 8 words needed?
i don't think so, but will investigate and report back
not seeing the last st5
heh, i'm okay wiht the mystery, but ty =)
Probably a company trade name like kleenex or oreos
no guy named zoot - but what i saw of write-ups always capitalized the Z
I still enter oreo every time ... lol
I enter zoot every time. Just in case it changes ;)
The soot suit was originally associated with black musicians and their sub-culture. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word zoot probably comes from a reduplication of suit. The creation and naming of the zoot suit have been variously attributed to Harold C. Fox, a Chicago clothier and big-band trumpeter;[7] Louis Lettes, a Memphis tailor;[8] and Nathan (Toddy) Elkus, a Detroit retailer.
from wikkipedia...
{giggle} thanks TK
I will count that as my trivia for the day. ty, Tk =)
yes..I missed crossy's tidbit today :)
did you miss crossy's trivia? a praying mantis has only 1 ear.. and apparently purple blood - but i think he was pulling legs wtih the blood
i try tara every time
really? lol
i did not research the blood to find out..
I haven't got to the stage where I'm avoiding the list by combing the chog for clues, so I didn't see that yet.
os 7/28 is an orphan... os + to 6/18 but lose one of the snakes...
BRB
no 6/21, no 7/32 combo most of the proboscis + half of a clock sound
na 7/32 and na 8/45 combo .. na 4/5 ("rat" or drug cop) na 5/12 add a vowel to create a drug prefix na 6/21 plural it na 7/32 add another vowel to the end na 8/45 plural it
the grid does not accept fest, though i think it should.. but if you put the funny papers against it you will get fe 7/40 and fe 8/55 (pl)
ef 7/40 and ef 8/55 (pl) same lettters as the fe words... a 3 letter bablet + "anon" and pl
Hiyas again, kiddos.
Mantises have purple blood? How would you know? It's bad luck to squish one.
cr 5/12.... cr 6/21.... cr 7/32.....cr 8/45 (the "most of one of our babblers)
hello everyone :) - still looking for that os 7/28 -- anyone have a clue, please?
hi judi - i didn't look it up - but you might ask cr5/12y... i think he was pulling my leg... pretty sure all life on earth is based on heme - therefore red?
I would think their blood would be green, or brownish like a grasshoppers. S'ok. I'll live life without knowing.
when it's cold out our no 5/10 and "toses" get very red
well, depending on the circulation system, even heme-based blood could be purplish
wheee...it's a TK clue fest :)
it goes bluish when it's not carrying oxygen
Interesting factoid, though.
true winding =- we should put you in charge of researching it, since science geek isn't here... is she still around?
os 7, please?
ok, I googled it - since grasshopper blood doesn't carry oxygen it is greenish.
for nan....when it's cold out our no 5/10 and "toses" get very red
grasshopper blood has no o2??? does it not breath air?
ty kate :)
*!* ta da *!*
congratulations nan! whooopppeeee :)
WTG!!! nan :)
looked forever for that last one without coming up with anything
It breathes air--but from what i vaguely remember from bio classes, insects don't really have a circulation system. They don't need one, because their bodies are so small
off to do some sewing -- guessing all of you have finished :)
maybe just absorb it through the carapice? i haven't a clue... bye nan!
so whatever liquid is in there wouldn't necessarily have to resemble our blood. But even our blood looks less red when there's less oxygen in it (in veins as opposed to arteries)
nope
Bye Nan...enjoy :)
insects have pores all over their body where the air gets in, yeah.
what are you fishing for smores? i don't often get a chnace to help you
i could randomly to 4/4 some clues out ;)
st5...the last one
I'm gonna stop babbling about insect innards now =)
see my last post
:)
lol, i find it interesting winding
stoopid word...lol
thanks TK
Well if I say much more I'll be making it up out of whole cloth, heh. Cursory googling doesn't say what color mantis blood is, but if I figure it out I'll report back =)
agreeed adjective Geology . noting or pertaining to the side, as of a hill or dale, that receives or has received the thrust of a glacier or other impulse. waiting with bated breath winding!
also need the last ST 5
3:27 teach
Hiya teach :)
hello smores
s+ to4/4
thnx smores and kate
co 6/21 and co 7/32 - mollycoddle... and pl for the co 5/12 and co 6/21 combo before it - lose a snake and pl
Dear Dr. God, Please give us bigger grids. Chat conversation currently about the color of bugs blood. Thanks. : D
:D
the chickens hav come home to ro 5/10... and i will ro 5/10 one for dinner ;)
...p.s. could we have the bigger grid on friday so i can play too?
teehee TK nice clues
Was there a clue for the os7?
Starts like bone, ends like Valentine's Day flowers.
3:27
Bone prefix.
hi follks, back to find some more words
welcome home peri
:)
Hi peri :)
schnoz... no 4/4 and pl sn 5/10 and pl st 8/40 and pl (a type of mole with a straange schnoz) ... and sn 4/4 what comes out of the schnoz and pl
Kate are you cluing the whole grid?
i must so 4/4 put on my co 4/5 and sc 5/12 off no ma'am... just being a bit silly
i thought there was a third proboscis in there somewhere...
teehee
silly is good - world can always use more silliness
this is what happens when we run out of bug blood trivia.
ra 4/4 .... well, it is almost closing time here, so someone else must take up the mantle of silliness.. hugs and sn 5/14 (british kisses) to all...
Bye TK...enjoy your evening :)
*poof* see y'all on friday, happy babbling!
Yes - Expert seems to be working again
Thank you Lickety! You Rock
any oz?
We love Lickety! : D
I came in at the right time. THANK YOU! Lickety
came in to see if Expert was on and it was! I am a happy camper. going to have dinner now. bye.
Hi Annie, Bye Annie. And hi anybody e
Annie?
Anybody else.....
Hey Lynn:-)
hi Soodle
Hello, Soodle & Lynxxx :-)
hi Zooz
Hey Zooz. :-)
Sorry Lynn, gonna be parochial now....Hows the weather there Zooz?
Coldish 1.3c , did not get any snow thank goodness..how about where you are?
I am missing an sa5/10 any clues
Thats alright, we are in Autumn here - 36 here yesterday and bushfires raging again! sheesh
Hello. Just finished (for a change.) The sa 5 is plural of the word before it, a type of palm.
Hello, Stid.
Hi zooz and soodle. Just keeping company with my puppy, Murphy who is a a search for flying insects (mighty hunter.)
hi Stidgmere
(((((Stid)))))) i FB'ed you. Hope you're coping.
Not more fires, Lynxxx..thought your cuntry had seen the back of those for this year.
I think 10s Gu is after sa & the thorny flower ***e
Hi, soodle, I'm gmere stid. I am trying to be helpful but poor mama has lost so many of her cherished memorabilia.
Country..very sorry about that.
ridiculous - like weather all over the world. Yesterday was the hottest April day for something like 73 years
Ooh, Lynn . Every hemisphere brings its own problems, eh?
I wouldn't be suprised if we had snow flurries for East. The wind is coming from the north now and it is not balmy.
climate change (sigh)
Keep wrapped up, Stidgmere.
Doh ! Sorry. I get confused with all the Babble-Stids.
We all look alike, I think Soodle. Mama is still at school. She had a long-term substitute teaching job that is finishing up this week. That will give her time to do the necessary planning for a new house.
Oh, my heart goes out to her for her recent losses. Deep sigh. All I can so is send her positive vibes. And hugs. ((((((()))))
I need to go rescue some chilies I've under the broiler to char the skins so I can make chilies rellenos for supper. Your positive vibes and love are having a wonderful impact. Never underestimate the power of prayer. Good bye for now.
Bye for now, Stidgmere.
Got 2 x ZO 4/9 other stat please?
bye Stigmere - looking up rellenos now
((((G'Mere)))))
If more people were like Gran Mere, the world would be a better place.
a plural Zooz
Doh..thank you, Lynxxx.
Hey Molly.
Hello all!
yeah right - hint - what Sesame Street character is accepted in the grid!
Hello, Jillyjill.
hi Jilly
Go5/24
Clues are up
Thank you, Lickety :-)
Hello Lickety!
ty lickety
TY Lickety - and Good Morning, thanks for the response.
Hello - sorry - same clues, I just made a couple of tweaks to the clues page as per Lynxx ;-) thanks Lynxxx.
hi all and thanks lickety
Will pass the info on - have a great day
hi jmc
what is a sn4/6? is it a chat?
oh no - thats a passionate kiss
British term for sucking face.
Dribbly kiss..lol
ah well there you go. . . my brit is still weak since i learned so much of it from regency romances. . . haha
and agatha christie. . .
Damn, we should have let her think it was a chat. Could have been interesting next time she was talking to a guy in a bar.
JMC: Well, we can sn4 about that later. Guy: YOWZA!
haha lynxxx and zooz would never do that to me
teehee
Yes, but the evil black sheep of Babble would. Mwahahahaha!
Everyone...earlier we were having yet another conversation about how some of us would like to give Lickety something for providing the clues. I asked him to put his Paypal account on his Clues List. He has, just on the right hand side. So - if you feel so inclined ......
ooh thanks, Lynxxx..yes good idea.
nbt/nbs...
And great idea lynxx!
I was doing a little fund raising myself earlier this week...asked people to give $5 or $10. I was staggered at the response...no-one gave less than $20 and a couple even gave $100. People are very generous
Well..just went onto the lickety page & cannot find it?
I don't see the paypal account
Probably close and re-open Zooz, I think he has just done it
Ok.will do.
It's just his email address. You go to PayPal and donate to licketySplitAUS@gmail.com
ok ty Molls
Perhaps donate wasn't the right word. Send money to...
You have to have a PayPal account yourself to do that.
oh, I don't have a pay pal account
You can do it either way molly....donate or send
or like me, get someone who has one to do it for you (I get my daughter to do it)
Thanks Jill, I didn't want donate to confuse anyone.
I will go to paypal and see what the options are
Bye everyone
bye lyn
Bye lynxx!
LOL...finally found the Sesame street word...
Well that was quick & easy to do..thanks for the tip, Lynxxx.
Oh she has gone, Bye, Lynxxx.
What does the 9 begin with please?
st...type of dolphin i think
let me know if you need clue
Thank you, Jill
still looking for help with the sa5/10 Not seeing it all all
SA + thorny flower ***e
Use the S on the bottom row.
THANK YOU! I was on wrong side of board.
Well, have a meeting in 45 minutes..need to forage for food...bbl to finish, 52 left *poof*
yw :-)
and fireworks here
Take care, Jil.
Jill*
Stupid keyboard.
Congrats, 10s GU!
reading back on the donation idea.good enough but if we are to donate to anywhere we should donate a buck or 2 each to dr_g who is as i understand it from the last time we talked is keeping babble going as a kindness and out of love for his program and not making any real money on it.seems subscriptions to go pro are real,real slow in coming making any real money on it
lol,do not know what happened at the end there but you get my drift
Hello, Crossy..i am happy to do that also.
because if he gets tired if it and pulls babble then licketys is not much use anyways:/
now,saying all tha,he has not asked for a dime.i am just thinking out loud here
and it would be easy,since it is already set up.would just send him another subscription fee.lords know i have gotten 5 years out of the first 11 dollars
lord knows*
If i send another subscription payment..would it set up another account..which i do not need?
have no idea,zooz,just bouncing this idea around atm
just blueskying it as they say
I will log out and see what the options are.
if enough people like the idea,i can collect names and then ask the good dr_g about the details
so,if any of you are at all interested in this,just email me at p.a.melbourne and use babble in the subject line so i can find you and leave me your real name and you babble name.if enough respond i will look into it further
100 of us would be amazing
and in deference to past collection disasters i think this is best way as any donation goes direct,but we shall see.just thinking on it here like i say
p.a.melbourne@gmail.com
best put the full addy out there eh? lol
Hello:))
Ok email sent, Crossy.
Hello, Blueheron :-)
Thank god , someones home!!
hehe yes it seems rather quiet at the moment in the chat log.
howdy blueheron
I've tried so many times to say hi and no one is here. Maybe it's because I live in the USA and everyone is sleeping ....or eating lots of bacon in Canada:)))
hehe ask for donations anywhere and it will get quieter than a nevada brothel on sunday
hi sweet crossy and zoo.
what, you've been to a Nevada brothel Crossy?
zooz and i will sit with you a spell,blueheron:))
:-)
nope.just stole the saying.never been south of the border actually
i am in a toursit ski area.they all come north to me in the winder.no need to go there myself:)
winter
over christmas break our town has more michigan plates than ontario plates lol
Silly question maybe..but do you ski yourself, Crossy?
OK, thanks. We had to have a beloved pet, Cider; Springer Spaniel put to sleep last night.:(( She was 16
Sorry to hear that, Blueheron :-(
i used to.now i am at the point where i can sit down and pay for all the broken bones of my past.arthritis is a wondeful thing.now i just hike and snowshoe
((blueheron)) sorry for the loss of your pet
It's been surreal here..without her. Just sad that's all.
do you have other pets,blueheron?
Hi all :)
howdy liz
Hello, Liz!
Sorry to read about your springer spaniel Blueheron - lovely dogs. My brother has 2 - father and daughter!
Yes, we have rocky who's a Papillion. He's lost right now, so are we:)) Thank's for all of your support babble friends.
a pet butterfly? must be hard to leash train:))))
:)
No Crossy, You just Wing it:))
papillion btw is also an awsome book by Henrie Charrire (sp)
lol,good one,blueheron
love you peoples!!
we are fond of you as well,blueheron:))
:)) Thanks.
I'll check that book out.
Blueheron, my condolences on the loss of your dog. I know how difficult that last trip is...
The Pappillion book is extremely good, as is the movie that was made from it. One of the few book to movies that stayed true to the movie.
oops, "book"
Thank=you and nice meeting you. I live on the seacoast in NH. Where do you live in Maine?
I also remember the book and the movie :)
Carrabassett Valley, home of Sugarloaf ski area.
as i undersand it, there is a sequil to that book as well,but i have yet to read it
It would be so cool if a fellow babbler nearby.
I did not know that crossy, now I will have to look for it.
blueheron, do you ever get up this way?
what town?
indeed,fuzzy,i found it while surfing through biblio.com
Fireworks :)
Congrats, Liz!
Henri Charrière is the correct spelling for the author
I am two behind you :-)
yaa for liz!
blueheron, Carrabassett Valley is the town
It's good to be back - haven't babbled for over 2 weeks! Guests and passover preparations!
crossy, I just looked at Amazon and found "Banco", did you find others?
Nice to have you back, Liz :-)
Wow! I also read that years ago - titles I'd forgotten.
I would have withdrawal symtoms after two weeks!
ty zooz :)
Hope it al went smoothly for you.
all*
for those with ereaders,a copy of palillon can be had in pdf format from www.bookos.org
I did!!!! But really didn't have time! Was exhausted by the evening!
looking now fuzzy
I know the feeling Lizlin.
Exhausted but content i hope.
Yes - content indeed. We've had a lovely couple of weeks and now look forward to our next guest in 3 weeks! Certainly busy at the moment!
nope,fuzzy, Banco is the one
I will need to put it on the "to read" list.
And fireworks for me.
Congrats zooz :)
Liz, are you running a bed & breakfast? : D
yeah zooz!
lol Molly!
The next guest was my mum's closest friend - she knew my mum before they were married! She visits her daughter in Sydney every year for a couple of months but has never been to this area.
Mum died 25 years ago today :(
Wasn't sure if I would see you here this week Liz. Passover blessings to you.
ty Molly :)
I'm sure her spirit is still with you Liz.
Have a great evening, all..bye for now.
Bye zooz. Sleep well :)
Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing today
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
Hi Min
Yes Molly - have lit a candle for her - Jewish tradition to light a candle on the anniversary of a death.

howdy dan
Hello dan2bit!How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
I am well, and you?
ok,my babble book lovers.i can now offer you papillon in a nice compact epub format.just email me and put babble in the subject line so i can find you
I am well. I went out for the first time ever for Happy Hour
I should say for the 1st time ever since my college days.
wow,min! you were overdue for it
Well done Min! Mixing and mingling. : D
I would say WAAAAAY overdue! My friends always try to get me to go out with them and I always say no to them. I was the designated driver so I only had 2 drinks, but I had fun.
Yes,I do not have a life. I'm not good at mixing & mingling
many establishments in our town offer free unlimited fountain pop for designated drivers
My friends were so happy I finally said yes, they treated me
You need to do that more often Min. Get out there, let your hair down and dance a little. : )
on the rare,rare,rare times that i am the driver,they feed me ginger ale all night all jazzed up bar style with a slice of lemon on da side;)
Baby steps MollyL!Took a lot for me just to go out!Dancing is a whole another story! I think my dancing days are over.
I'd let my hair down... but KJE says I don't have any
G's Grappled! 1 left
GASP! MIN...NEVER!
The rumors of your reported baldness are highly exaggerated.
actually my hair is kinda long right now.. i haven't had time for a haircut.. so I have the kenny loggins thang going
... kje will be surprised to note that i'm not short and fat either
Well yeah, if she shows up for lunch.
LOL
she'd better.. she's buyin'
I am finished! I have fireworks! os 7/28 was my final word.
I will be here off and on to help with clues if anyone needs
well done minver
a nasty little grid
Way to go Min!
wow, i'm away for several years and this is the grid i come back to? ouch
howdy pippin.been right here is a stasis just waiting for you
sure pippin.. that's what you get for staying away
nice to see so many familiar folks
the internet likes me to stay here.that way they can keep an eye on me
Hello pippingeek! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
aw, really, goth isn't a word?
no.. goth isn't really human either
Goth is an abbreviation. And the rules say abbreviations are not accepted. Except they are. Prep, repo, mayo, etc.
hahaha
don't forget narc
There is Jack in the PB, JMC.
haha i hadn't found it yet. . .*wanders to the pb*
Hello jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
hey min!
what is this nonsense about your dancing days being over?
TO and I both have some years on you and we dance! haha
but glad you went out with your buddies!
I'm sure that you are both better dancers than I am. If I started dancing, people would get up & leave the room.
my belly jiggles when i dance (and my butt does too) but it is about the enjoyment not the appearance
TO on the otherhand is fairly slim. . .
You are sooooo right jmcnrick! I am stuck in my adolescent self-consciousness phase.
haha time to get pa** that dear min! no longer a teeniebopper
It's all about having a good time Min.
but as you say. . .take it one step at atime. . .maybe a dance party at a friends home to start with. . .
or maybe dance in a club too dark and crowded for anyone to see. . . ;-)
i thought a croat was an eastern european form of money
*toddles in from swing dance class* hi all!
nice TO i was just saying how you liked to dance!
je, i daned with one of the best at zydeco and i could keep up! two months ago i coultd not
whoo hoo TO! I can't even keep up with contradancing these days. . .
do you know about the dance festival in edgewater?
no tell me about it
i thinkit is in may and there is contra as well as zydeco and i thin some others
nice. . . edgewater MD then?
yes, home of the BEST crabcakes in MD
:-)
do you want to go to MA in june for zydeco? near foxwoods?
i am going to jamaica in june so that is enough of a long trip on my own dime for one month. . .then colorado for july. . . but edgewater seems like a possiblity. . . let me know more about it when you can
shes coming to see me in colorado :P
jamaica? a vacation? cool1 I will send the link. I was going to go before i realized it was not all zydeco
i want to hide in your suitcase. i am a good traveling companion honest.
a quaker gig in jamaica but i will stay a couple of extra days for a vacation
haha i know you are TO. . .
clue for the no6/7 please
dunns river falls....fried conk...grilled everything that yhou hate at home but tastes heavenly there...
wonderful people. not like bahamas.
Extend na4.5 -- sugar ending
there is very little that i hate. . .

hi. I'm under the weather and i will turn in shortly.
no6/7 not na6/7/8 dc

i'm like mikey, i hate everything. :P
haha

na6/7 -- Extend na4.5 -- sugar ending
night night all
os7 please?
ty dc. . . i should have guessed
i heard it is bone + sugar ending cosd but haven't found it
from my head down to my os...switch vowel and consonant at end
os 7/28 has the same ending as the no 5/10 word cosdem.
oops last two before end
haha too cryptic for me gypsy
Hello cosdem! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.
Hello cgypsy! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log.
thanks for the os7 sorry for delay i am cooking as we speak
np
I lost a bottle of my meds as well and I am scrambling to find it as the pharm isnt open til tmw morn
bummer. . . no 24 hr pharm?
not for this kind of meds.. state law
ah
serves me right from hiding it from myself
tsk
you should leave yourself clues next time
lol treasure hunt
or have a friend hide it and leave clues. . .
help with the co5/12s after the bunions please
lol thatd mean id have to invite people over :P
:p
i think it ends with a plural but it isnt? starts with my babbler name
have a political crony do it then. . .
plural of me I guess would be an easier clue
a r*** by any other name, but starts with g
but then plural, obvs
ohlord, just realized i typed g instead of c. those are different
ty pipping i needed that one too but I asked about the CO5/12. . .
hi min and all....my mother called. I hesitate to give clues as mine are not very good jmc...sorry bout that
well haha that worked!
no no gypsy give clues. . . just because i don't get them is no reason. . . others did
so does anyone know how to make creamed spinach?
i may get the next one. . . .
A High school teacher in Idaho is under investigation for saying "vagina" in his anatomy class.
jmc that was the co5/12
ty pipping. . .
what was he suppose to say VAJAYJAY *gags*
ew
if you can't use anatomical terms in anatomy class, when IS it okay to use them?
Teacher for my neice last year had all the kids say vagina, vagina, vagina, penis, etc. so they would get used to say/hear without laughing
apparently never. . .we live in a land of euphanisms
people don't even say die or died. . .
hi folks!
hi welki
It's Idaho.

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I will see you tomorrow.

Ah, there you go Jes. Who is the canine friend?

G'night, min
ailing Saab.. there's an oxmoron
oxymoron
I thought it was a tiger at first.
Hello all
Oh now see, I kept smacking my fingers so as not to make a Saab comment and there you go. : D
hi jj
....hates saabs with a deep, deep passion
Hello ruru, did you watch the tennis matches today?
(please note not using the <---)
no. jilly.. I was a working slug today
Thank you for not being intensely annoying.
ohh...poor ruru..
:-(
Yes, the poor darling.
lllllollll
No tiger, Molly, though the last mastiff I had was affectionately dubbed the cowardly lion
hello jes!
so close! i hate it when you just want to go to bed but the grid won't let you loose
What a coincidence. We've all been dubbed cowards here too.
ooh, fe7 and 8 are words i've not seen in a grid before
hi jilly! Need a cute little puppy? :D
heh. I'm sure everyone's been accused of cowardice at some point, Molly, but that was a 130 pound behemoth who routinely tried to hide behind my much braver 30 pound sheltie...
.....need to make dinner for the mrs... be back later
Looking at your profile I would have to turn and ask if he comes with his own vet...LOL
bye, ruru
see you later ruru
heheh. well, I'd be happy to work on him any time you brought him to me, Jilly :)
au revoir.. bonne nuits...
That might be a bit of a drive....

(avoiding <---in honor of Molly) FW!!
<---- is in no danger of imminent FW...
same here :)
Here for a few more minutes if you need clues...
i may need all of them, Jilly... is there a bulk discount? :D
But of course!!
What's the price for 50?
Bigger discount on 168 ;)
Is that what you have left?
54 left
i haven't listed yet, so (assuming lickety is up tonight) i should get a pretty big chunk there when I get to it.
I had 52 when I came back on after 9...went pretty fast...AFTER I listed...
Yes, Lickety is up...BTW..should spread Lynxx's idea. She had Lickety post his email in order that we might be able to toss a few coins his way via PayPal for all his clues
Well, I do need to hit the pillows...sorry, clues discount will be extended to tomorrows grid...niters all!!
sleep sweet, jilly
Lickety's email has always been available. He just made it known that he has a PayPal account with that same email address so that people who wish (and have a PayPal account) can send thank you dollars.
Regarding Lickety's list I am was of the belief that Mr Pres is doing it. DO NOT quote me on that.
i was told it was lickety himself
*evening all*
Lickety is doing the list now.
Hello all. I thought the same, re Lickety - that it was MrP now doing it.
Hello Pini.
Don't quote me I am grateful enough at the moment I am fully dressed. I am so not with it
Hi Herin. I wasn't quoting you. Got the info from another source.
os7 clue please?
Just saying I am not really with it this weather is playing nutso
os + ** be or not ... + spanish 7?
Jes - it's a word to do with the making of bones. os _ not from but **, then add a plural or verb form ending.
thanks
Herin - what's wrong with the weather in Oz? As weird as it is here in UK? Though it's not really that weird here unless you're under 30 and don't remember past weather patterns.
Windy stormy and crazy. Apparently the whole warehouse shook up the road at the other halfs work. We lost power and in the CBD 2 people have been killed by a falling wall. We have also lost trains
fireworks
and off to sleep i go. g'night all, sleep sweet when you get there.
'Night Jes and well done on finishing.
Herin - sorry to hear that.
night Jess
We lost power and it made a scary roar noise now it is all sunny again
That's weird indeed, herin.
I've had no signal on my mobile 'phone for a day and a half. That's never happened before.
Welcome to Melbourne. just remember to wear wollies that you can easily remove as we have 4 seasons in one day
Our internet and TV link was out for hours a couple of days ago - that's never happened before, either.
Herin - lol! Sounds like the UK.
Argh
Anyone still need any clues for this grid before the flip?
I have given up. And likely to go soon
Oh, okay.xx
Laters
hello all - hoping for around 160 again
hello
Hello ursh & MLF.
hello jacula
