Hi all.
Hi all. Quiet night.

nbt
what does nbt mean?
hi all!! nbt/nbs

what does nbt stand for?
hi flosey
thx for cr5, diz
thanks, diz!
VY, scroll back to 12:10 where I told you
what does that mean?
no blank tiles?
nbt = no blank tiles - you have at least one word from each tile in the grid
oooh
mar 8 is a bit of a toughie, let me know when you all give up
The Tile Stats below the grid show how many words from each tile
tr5, tr7
cr5, 7
and all this time I thought it meant no butt tickling
VY, we're not supposed to give more than the first 2 letters of a word. Do you know about Lickety's Babble Clues? See below the Tile Stats -- Friends of Babble
lol, ru! got the 8! thanks diz and VY!

are you ahead of me Ruby in time and day or behind--its 4am May the 2nd
10 AM, same day
why are you up t that crazy hour?
I am on landline internet and next week Iam going satilite---I think that is alot of my problem
I\m totally computer illiterate. I can play this and lexulous and write letters on yahooo, but beyond that don't know the difference
I dont sleep very much--Iam usually up about 2 most mornings
how many hours altogether?
Im usually asleep by 11 then up in 2 or 3 hours
that's not enough sleep! you poor thing
have to go, see you later
{{puglet}}

yw gran
hello again
{{lizlin}}
good morning Babblers :)
{{sprite}}
hi ruby :) *hug*
I think it's very quiet here
you a not the only one with a difficult son!
sure is
is yours giving you a hard time?
he's gone, thanks God, and it was not a pleasant visit.
I'll send you an e-mail
am sorry to hear that. I thought you got along so well together?
yeah by all means, do so.
yes, at a distance, but not in the same house
when I hear how well my son behaves when he is somewhere else, I think I can sympathize, lol
we do well with mails and phone calls, but, in person, it'sanother story
halfway without finding a single 6,7 or 8, is that a kind of record?
I am both sad and relieved that he's gone
am sorry. How are the puppies doing?
they are both fine, now, but Rufie got very stressed when John was here, re-opened all of his sores and hated John
Raffie has doubled in size in a month and is an adorable monster-dog
poor doggie. Am still so glad your dogs loved me. Would have been difficult otherwise.
and Jhn thought that both dogs needed "discipline"
you were wonderful with them and I am especially glad that you got to know my beloved Ruby
dogs do. But maybe not the kind he thought?
chows are different and he never "got" that
they are very well-behaved, immediately housebroken, sweet but, when you say, "Come" They look around and say "are you speaking to me?"
lol
the, they come, but on their own terems. That's on of the reasons we love chows. They're like enormous cats
thwn*
then* terms* one* (my typing is going rapidly down hill)
I got you anyway, don't worry
will I eever get used to this new keyboard?
of course
OK, off to unch
{{sprite}}
or even lunch
enjoy, ruby
Hi ruby and sprite :)
hiya Liz :)
Sorry to have missed Ruby - seem to have done that a lot this week, though we did have a long chat on Sunday or Monday - while her son wash still there.
finally, one of my favorite babblets is in again... the cr word.
Which cr?
the vowelless one
cr 4/ 7?
well, not really vowelless, but no vowels as we know them
Ah - a Welsh word I guess!
cr5/22
yes :)
Just looking for that now.
Suddenly remembered it.
I think it was in my second grid ever. And that was before lists, lickety or even stats! When the babblers helped me find it, I felt like my brain literally expanded. Such a new sensation, lol
Is it finally spring time in Holland?
I keep missing Ruby too Liz. And I have another point of view on the thing with her son that will probably be a moot point by the time I catch her. : )
yesterday it was lovely here. Today less so. Cold again and overcast. How is Autumn coming for you there?
Welsh is a great language. I don't know it but I love the word Araf on roads - means stop. I think it sounds like a monster!
I thought you and ruby emailed too, Molly? Perhaps you can email her.
Moot point or not, I think that anything that can make her feel better about the situation, is good.
lol @ araf... didn't know that one either. Yes, if I ever go back to study a language, it will be Welsh. Just because.
And why not?
exactly. Because it is intriguing and beautiful and lovely and I can always go there and make a perfect fool of myself trying to speak it.
Actually just googled araf - it might mean slow, rather than stop! It's a long time since I drove in Wales.
I live there and I always make a perfect fool of myself when I try to speak it.
:D Dachef!
it is beautiful there as well, isn't it, Dachef?
But I know the cr word 'cos its the name of a road in Cardiff with some really good pubs on it.
certainly a handy reminder, grin
That strikes a chord! Family lived in Cardiff in the late 1970s
very beautiful Sprite. I've been lucky in that I've been all over the world - very few places compare to right here.
will keep that in mind as well, Dachef. A myriad reasons to start studying Welsh. However difficult it may be.
I think Gaelic is a beautiful language and it's the language of my ancestors. But most of it is hard for me to wrap my Anglo brain around.
well that is the whole point of learning new things, I think... stretching da brain
BBL :)
bye for now Liz :)
Yes, stretching the brain is a good thing.
I have to say, after discovering cr5 as a real word, things like pfui and ywis were a breeze.
goooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx could someone tell me how many words today please? xxx
hi worzel, 138 today. One 8, 7x7
tyvm sprite xxx
yw
fireflies. Cute grid. Must be the first time I was over halfway without finding anything over 5. But most of the biggies are relatively normal words. Bye all.
bye sprite xx
Well, considering there are only 18 6 and 7 letter words, that's not surprising. : )
late coming ito this conversation & I hate to correct Dachef but I think he/she means Crwys Road in Cardiff.
I think you're right. Its been a while since Ive been there.
fa 5/14 plz its the last fa 5
fa5: death to those who ask.
oops that 5/24
both the last fa5's have pretty much the same clue,. actually.
fa5/24 is a declaration of impending death sentence (of Arabic origin).
the word is of Arabic origin. Not the death sentence. I dont want to start getting letters.
sorry thats over my head lol
fa5/24: Salmon Rushdie had one.
fa5/24...overweight + most of a big hunk of chewing gum
Or most of what you do in water when you are only up to your ankles
ty molly and ty dachef for trying to help
hello everyone
hello again
molly, I wouldwelome your advice comments.....

hi lynxxx :)

{{lynxx}}
Hi lynxx, Annie :)
hi smores
who knows? I only know that he is ike his father, no regrets for that divorce!!!!
:)
"gives Ruby's son a swift kich in the rear"
Ruby I am not sure what happened but I am sure you shouldn't be beating yourself up over it. You are a charming warm-hearted woman - he would seem to need to realize that and appreciate/love you for what you are - together with your quirks
* kick even
(which he probably deserves)
now, sorry, got to take my daughter home BBS
:)
quirks, moi? lol
as much as you care for your dogs, I can only believe youre a wonderful mother :)
and I for one love quirky people :)
son's opinion is that I'm a "crazy dog mother" lol
Ruby, for another perspective, I am not a dog person. So I don't get certain things that people say about dogs and pets. For example, the biting thing. While I think your son could have expressed his concerns in a more loving way, he may not see things in terms of the dogs the way you do, because he has none.
clue for the 8,pls. Then I can take a nap
<----admittedly crazy and happy about it
sorry don't have it yet
I'm sure you're right, Molly,ut to present himself as an expert.....please. And the dog never bit him
No, presenting himself as an expert was silly. How could he be? And I didn't mean the dogs biting him, I meant the dogs being allowed to bite each other.
the little puppy, who is teething, nibbles my hands -- only min -- and I don't see that as a long-lasting problem
The ma8 ends like the five sided building near DC.
that's how dogs play
with each other
they bite each other gently; nobody ever yelps
Well, I am not trying to excuse him. He was a guest in your home and he did not act appropriately.
but what you never do, except in dire circumstances, is get between them
just ask bichon who is an expert
tt's just like when little kids are wrestling around
It seems he dropped in to offer opinions on every aspect of your life, instead of to spend some time with his Mom. That is a shame.
(exceppt with big teeth)
Well yeah, except if kids were wrestling around and one bit the other, someone would intervene.
eactly, Molly
in the end ,ruby,it is your home,your dogs and visitor know you have dogs,so as long as no vistor,family or other is hurt,you are free to raise your dogs as you wish
good morning everyone
{{crossy}} always absolutely loyal
hiya crossy
((ruby))
howdy,smores
Sorry Ruby, I shouldn't have said anything. I wasn't trying to be disloyal, just trying to offer another perspective.
and Ruffino is as sweet a dog as you coud imagine. The fact that john was afraid of him was totally weird
<-- loves Molly and will always value her opinion
here,if a guest complains about pet fuur on the couch or char we say" well at least "insert pet name here" is allowing you to use his couch or chair,be thankful :))
chair
hahah, crossy
the end note is that my son has become his father
sorry ruby
you can always tell when that happens because father and son end up butting heads like some old rams on the mountain top
if there is too much pet fur, crossy, tell them to take up knitting
we keep the fur down to a dull roar,but we have pets and has a house guest you must deal with it
I used to know a woman who knitted sweaters using the combed-out fur of her dogs (or cats, I don't remember which) -- yuck
lol
i have read about that,she had a dog with allergies and had to knit him little sweaters out of his own fur
if same woman.sure there are others
probabbly the same crazy lady
but you can card and spin any fur,so what the heck
I agree. People who don't like animal hair all over the place should not be visitors in a home where that is the norm. Makes no sense.
I'm sure the sweaters would be soft, but you'd sneeze so much, you'd probably die
correct
No animal hair here, just son's objections to the raising methods.
yup,if you are panicking about your 5000 dollar armani suit,then we meet at a coffee shop instead
well,your home.if he has issues with things in it,he knows where the door is
isn't ramen a kind of noodle?
i do not tell my da how to keep his house anymore than he tells me how to keep mine
yes it is,ruby.my son loves the things
if they accept ori, why not ramen?
nori*
and i do not mind.here they are cheap(25 cents a pack) and i keep 20 on hand for snacks at all times.stops him from gobbling an entire loaf of bread between meals
ahh a few tw words today i see
I thought oneof them was a really nasty word, tw4/8
had to check on daughter...almost time for school
yep.enable likes lots of words like that yet misses many now common computer term
time for lie-down. Thanks to all for your forebearance; will not mention son again
nothing wrong with venting.we all need it at times.have a good nap ruby
Bye ruby...have a good nap :)
{{group hug}}
((ruby))
Hi all :)

howdy kaplan
Dr God won't fix my problem.
he sent you an e-mail telling you to sod off??!! cannot believe it
No. He didn't
then i am sure if you pester him enough that he will right what is wrong
I just can't log on on any browser except internet explorer, and my pw doesn't work
ewww @ explorer.why will chrome or FF not work for you?
or even opera for that matter
hello again...back for a few more
wb,smores
says log-in incorrect. I am on ff now but had to make another new account
hi smores, crossy, Kaplan
Hi bichon :)
mmm,that sucks.so it just will not recognise you babble pw?
Hey kaplan...sorry your having issues
right. it's only on ee
I'm always having issues
or is it the email addy you set up babble with that it is having issues with?
lol...as are we all...but you know what I meant :)
that is bloody odd.i run three browsers,chrome,firefox and opera and use the same sign in addy and pw for babble across all of them
I don't know what it is
have you run c cleaner to tidy things up and try again?
can't DrG email you your pw
name that proper mystery writer
He emailed my pw and it is the one I tried using but it doesn't work
Or proper Aunt.
ah...I'd email him again...hopefully he can reset it or something for you
well,all i can suggest is run c cleaner,get rid of those temp files and cookies,and use c clean er to tidy your registry as well and try again
Agatha
or like smores said,get a fresh new pw
I tried.
I failed.
:(
a new pw or c cleanr?
I am here for now, but my laptop that has IE is broken because I dropped it- again- so I am on a different computer and used my husband's email to make a new login.
oh, by the way, ding ding ding
mm
:)
so,new addy,new pw,different computer and still no dice?
I'm here with the new address and new name.
In 2 weeks I will have to pay, and I am no longer The Magnificent.
You are the Magnificent in our hearts
well.that is it for me then.i am tapped for idea.i have never ever had anything like this happen across 3 computers 3 phones,two tablets and 3 browsers.
I should be getting ready for work
Did you try logging on under your own password on your husbands computer?
agrees with bichon Kap :)
Good morning and Hello!
hi Car
Hi car :)
hi car
car!!
and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
Descartes was attracted to cross-eyed women.

NM...found fa 5
there are a pair of fa 5/16 words
fa+ laughing dog hy***
TY Crossy!
i borrowed that clue for a babbler who posted it earlier:)
from
OK... I need to work. Have a great day everyone!
tc,car
Did anyone see the weird exchange on chog last night from VYCanisMajoris? It was truly odd and this person managed to engage Nef but I think she got a little freaked out and left. This person was asking for welki and was saying someone she knows from the "serp community" had passed. This person also stated he/she has no emotions....it was truly odd.
Cannot believe ramen isn't accepted...isn't it a generic for that type of noodles?
i did not see it
but sounds odd indeed
and what is a 'serp community"?
Seemed like Babble was again infiltrated by someone odd and unstable....just wanted to warn everyone to not engage this person. I have no idea with a serp community is. Someone should advise welki that this person specifically asked for her.
yes,best give welki a heads up when you see her
no idea what, that is.
I don't understand why anyone wants to bother with us...we're mostly just regular folks who like word games. Shouldn't they find a stranger community that might actually welcome weirdness?!!
serp would be serpentine community - like Babble community - I am guessing it is harmless
often when a player starts here other players come over with them too
i find that the oddballs do not stay long unless they are wordies like us,babble will more the hell out of them
bore
Thanks for the info, lynxxx. I wasn't around for the whole charade with that guy who claimed to be someone and then claimed to die but am now a bit cautious about who I engage in chat. The main thing that bothered me is he (I think it's a he) was talking about how he doesn't feel any emotions unless someone dies and asked what was wrong with him....well, where do we start?!!!
It's not like any real damage can be done by someone but I like this community so much that I'm a bit protective.
I think caution is very good - but it does seem Welki knows 'Canis' from Serpentine
yes,if anyone is going to make the fur fly around here it is going to be me,not some crazy person :))
mimi: real damage can and has been done. just want you to know.
Poor Nef tried her best to be cordial but finally just gave up and went to bed.
We welcome your flying fur, crossy!
Hi TOwl.
hi lyn.
actyally crossy keeps his pelt nice and tidy
wow.my tyoing is as skillful as always i see...:/
TO, yes I heard about some of the things that have taken place...guess I misspoke...my apologies.
good grief...
So now you are Charlie Brown, crossy?!
just hold the football still..
oh no, no apologies, just did not want you to lose caution
:)
Thanks, TO. At this point in my life I have learned to be a bit cautious. I may have been born at night but it wasn't LAST night!
of course. happy babbling all
I just read the exchange between Nef and that person. I didn't find it all that odd, except for the "I don't feel emotions" thing. VC wanted to tell Welki that a person in their community passed and Nef sent Welki a message via Facebook, then happily said goodnight and happy babbling.
Leaving, TO? Sorry to see you go....have a good Thursday.
I guess we all have our idea of odd. As I said, I just feel a bit protective about this community.
well,crossy's in da house now.will keep oddballs at bay for a bit:)) woof!
because anything odder than me is not allowed to stay
;)
You're not weird, crossy---you're cuddly! And let's not forget those terrific tidbits!
crossy always has his tidbits hanging out:))
Hey, if you got 'em, flaunt 'em!
and now for crossy's bonus tidbit of the day!!
New Hampshire is the only U.S. state that does not lawfully require drivers to wear safety belts while operating a motor vehicle.
Guess they want even fewer people in New Hampshire....
yup and when it is empty they can turn it into a 6 flags theme park i imagine
New Hampshire state motto - Live Free or Die
well,they are on their way i suppose
Clue for the first ta7 please?
do they wear motorcycle helmets there?
Guess they can live free until that head-on collision...
then they can live in traction after that
no helmets required
I'm frustrated enough for one morning....will try again later. Guess they can modify slogan to "Live free or in traction." Have a good Thursday and hugs all around.
my brother i law was in a front end collision 20 odd years ago.he was the passanger and he was not wearing his seatbelt.the driver was.B.i.l was ejected right through the front windshield and landed in a construction area tar pot used for paving.now he has brain damage and is scarred over 40% of his body
Oh, BTW, poodletoes, I went to school at Kings High next to Kings Island Amusement Park...lots of friends still there. Of course, KI wasn't there when I was in school...just cows.
Got it!
so i wear seatbelts
not many cows there anymore!
Nope...it was a good place to grow up. When I visit I always fly into Dayton...easier and cheaper than Cincinnati and at least the airport is in the same state!
I always thought that was strange. Airport in wrong state. Cant fly anywhere from dayton non-stop hardly.
There's a tidbit for you, crossy---the Cincinnati Airport is in Kentucky.
really?
wow!
its call letters are CVG for Covington
what set of events transpired to make that happen i wonder?
yes, I flew into there last year
cincinatti is right on the border, so my guess is there was more land there for the airport.
You have to cross a bridge over the Ohio River to get to it. Don't know why they put it there---maybe more and/or cheaper land. Always been that way.
flying out of CVG later in year so I can go non-stop to Fresno (FAT)
Beats t 2 or 3 plane changes
I lived in the Cincy area for the first 19 years of my life. Still have fond memories....beautiful hills surrounding the city. Really good people.
Love the cinci zoo
I fly into Dayton so it will be more convenient for a friend to pick me up but you're right, must transfer planes.
here's what wiki has to say http://tinyurl.com/bo95lbe
I grew up in the hills of VA near KY, so I went to Cincy when I was younger on a couple of trips. Did not realize until I went again last year that it was so hilly!
another city of 7 hills.
Very interesting link, carla...ty. Yes, especially Mt. Adams...lots of little restaurants and bars and an outdoor amphitheater for Shakespeare in the Park.
I lived in cincy and Ky for 15 years.
Gee, if I like it so much, why did I leave all those years ago? Wanderlust!
Lots of people leave Ohio!
I moved to change jobs. move to NC as a nice place to retire to.
I've been in every state in the contiguous 48 except far New England...every place has its own charm.
LOL, poodle....guess it's a good place to be FROM!
I swear, when I'm traveling most out-of-state cars I see are from Ohio (or Ontario & Quebec - those Canadians sure like to drive far.)
I want to go to every state. I still have about 5 left in the lower 48. been to all the others.
Yes, Ohioans and Ontarians(?) like to leave!
I also went to the College of Wooster in Ohio. When I was visiting my sister in Boston and asked for a but ticket to wooster via cleave land they looked at me funny. probably thought I meant Worchester.
I've driven cross-country about 12 times, usually taking different routes. Several of those I drove by myself---love that. Such a beautiful country.
Hey, if anyone wants to do a road trip, I'm game!
lol,hokie.i once drove 2 hours to get some good bacon
now you could order in on line
I believe it
Ahhh---the magnetism of the bacon....should be a recognized scientific phenomenon.
as far as I can remember, I've only been to like 17 states
lol.we once had a cottage on a little lake in the muskokas,it was on a dirt trail that was 12 miles long that we shared with 3 other cottages,that in turn lead to a main dirt road that you stayed on for 15 minutes which lead to a paved road you drove for an hour to get to the closest store to buy booze.was wild
If you haven't seen the West, carla, you should plan a trip...astonishing.
been to most of the states east of the mississippi, but missing most of those west.
Utah is beautiful, lots of National Parks
yeah, San Fran was my favorite trip. loved the drive down the PCH to San Simeon. Have also been to Taos and the Grand Canyon/Sedona/Phoenix.
never been to the sates.i want to check out maine.i hear it is nice
been rafting down the Grand Canyon. Was planning to go see the parks in Utah last month, but had knee surgery instead.
would love to do some RVing from park to park out west or houseboating on Lake Powell(?)
Mimi is right - every where has its own charm.
Utah would have been a lot more fun, mix
oh, I forgot Vegas! So, I guess 18 states.
I agree!!!!
I adore the San Francisco area and Carmel/Monterey is my favorite. I live in Phoenix so it's great for getting to Utah and Colorado and California...and, of course, Vegas.
crossy, you should come. apparently it's not a far drive. ;-)
it is on our bucket list
which side of Canada are you on? I'm sure I've asked before but can't remember.
We'll have to work on getting a trip together with Babblers...so much fun. We can all end up at ruru's in the beautiful Napa...unless he'd be overwhelmed.
i am in central ontario so east coast is not that far for me
If anyone is near Phoenix, please do contact me---I have a spare room!
I have heard that NP in Maine is really nice.
Going to the NC beach this weekend. will miss babble.
Wouldn't mind seeing that or Niagara
going to Charleston for a soccer tournament this weekend.
right now our game plan is to go pub hopping with soodles
Canada has great places too. Nova Scotia is beautiful. Stayed in a lighthouse keeepers house at Cape D'Or
Went to Niagara last year.
Mimi-it's already too hot in PHX to come visit!
Mixi, did you see the movie "Prince of Tides?" Loved the footage in the beginning.
our east coasters are the best!!
Niagara Falls is fun. Did you walk under the fall?
no mimi. I'm not much of a movie fan.
I'm crazy about Banff....love Canada...and the people.
awww,shucks
We did the cave of the winds and boat trip. both were great.
Yes, it is too hot now. Only two seasons in Phoenix...heaven and hell. Been in heaven, now going to hell.
We went in April a few years ago when my cousin lived in Scottsdale. Stayed in a hotel for a few days, then Sedona for a few days, then with my cousin one day. We did a hike in PHX, came out at the wrong trailhead and had to walk back to our hotel on the road because it was too far to the parking lot our car was in. had like one drop of water left among all 4 of us.
Now, now, crossy----us Western people have a lot of charm, too!
Went to Churchill, Manitoba to see the Beluga whales. SAw several polar bears too.
we have talked about Banff, too. went to Vancouver & Whistler a few years ago and loved it.
yes indeed,my brother now lives in henderson nevada and plan to get out there eventually
Yes, Vancouver is wonderful. I took the ferry over from Washington....just lovely.
though not in the summer!!
Yeah, I went to Vegas last July and I think it was like 105 (F - no idea what that is in C, Crossy) every day.
Isn't your Ireland trip soon, crossy?
it is hot in any scale
late summer /fall we are shooting for,mimi
Just stay in the casinos!
I love when people say "Oh, but it's dry heat." Yeah...so's your oven but you wouldn't want to spend any time there!
are you staying at soodle's house? ;)
my brother works for poker stars so i am sure we will see a casino or 2
I don't like words without vowells.
no,leslie but we will be close to her in Trim
I have noticed the people I know who grew up with C, have no trouble converting to F, but I and most people I know here have no idea how to convert to C.
must get busy - babble on all
Bye poodle!
actually compared to what we are used to,everything is close over there:))
4 left. must go make brownies.
hokie,i was finishing school right when we changed over so i can usuall bounce back and forth
I know, I have wasted 3 hours on my computer this morning. Have to pick up my house! May be back later. May not.
Oh, so what do you use now? C or F?
I'd love to see Ireland (being Irish descent). Am hoping to make a trip to visit sprite in The Netherlands at the end of this year or beginning of next and take a trip down to Paris.
i use both,temps in celcuis, but beer will always be in pints,fish will always be in pounds or inches and breast sizes will forevermore be in inches
Not a waste, carla---we enjoyed you!
fuel i measure in litres .but can do construction materials in either measure
our kids will be metric only so that those of us who use both will pass and it will be metric only
wonders who measures breasts?
the people who make bras,ruru
I always say I'm leaving and then don't....this time I must go. Back later. Hugs all around (and a special one for you, crossy).
lol
((mimi))
Oh, ruru, did you miss me inviting everyone to take a trip and end up at your house?!!!
everyone to ru,s place!!!
yes.. I missed that one
Don't worry, ru...just a fun dream...at least right now! Bye.
well, just to be clear, I wasn't calling my time here a waste. ;-) I spent a lot of it on youtube, FB, and another place.
set out the communal sleeping bags ru,we are on our way!
i will bring the bacon vodka
okay, this time I'm really leaving. I'm going to change out of my pj's, pick up my house, and do some exercise.
Bye, carla...have a good one.
And ru has all that wine....now I am definitely leaving!
ahh yes,forgot ru has a nose for vintages;)) have to raid his cellar
find a nice 40 year old bottle of plonk and use to to chase my bacon vodka shooters;)))))
i sense notes of lavander,coffee and BACON!! hehe
I could give you wines that have a definite Bacon aroma crossy..

wow
yes.. lots of North Rhone wines do.. and several California syrah producers do
learn something new every day here;))

I think hafta should be a word. I hafta go get a brownie!
If you don't have time to make them from scratch, the best brownie mix ever is Ghiradelli triple fudge.
I will keep that in mind, Molly :-)
4/5 PB violation on Sue. Go get your brownies. : D
on my way :-)
*Makes a pot of fresh ground to go with the brownies*
hello to anyone here
hi puglet!
en7...hilarious...no definition...sounds like a combination of a colon cleanse and a famous female spy first name : D
ta 7???
nice clue, molly!
and apparently it's the plural of the colon cleanse; who knew?
ta 7 is my last word....:(
don't have it, science, sorry!
oh got it....combination word....a plant
Not a lot of people who work in hospitals Sue, I'm sure of that. : D
it almost sounds like a loved one NOT
it's raining mock cherry blossoms; the grass is all pink
and hello from stormy France
Ta7, black sticky thing for cracks + green things that you don't want in your yard greens.
hello ruby
hi puglet
we lost our cherry blossems last week
were they pink or white?
pink
We have had "pear blossom snow" here for weeks.
our "rel" cherry tree has white (small) flowers; the mock cherry has large bright pink ones
when we first planted the garden, I put in a pear but it didn't make it through the year
This is an ornamental pear, not a fruit tree.
and the cherry tree has huge, tasteless cherries, but the tree itself is pretty
I too planted pear tree and had no luck with it
I've heard you have to plant several pear trees in order for them to cross pollinate.
Kind of like corn.
That's serious orcharding
we got people close by with a pear tree that as always full of fruit and they just let them fall and rot and wont let you have any---such a waste
That's selfish and nasty.
I let any friend who is willing pick our apples and black currants.
Now see, whatever I could not use I would put in a basket by the side of the road for people to take what they wanted.
hi all
cheers, Molls. will not have time to have a G&T tomorrow. will be celebrating my niece completing nursing school!!
I never have enough figs to share.
I think so too--I know if it was me Ide share if I werent going to use them--------Hi pertwinkle
Hi Peri
Ive never eaten figs right from the tree
I could put a fruit stand in the road with a dog tied to it with a sign around her neck "Free apples".
They are not the greatest figs but having my tree is special, so I love the figs anyway.
Cheers Peri! And congratulations to your niece.
ty, she will take her boards in about 6 weeks and I am sure that she will do well.
I'm ready for a G&T -- anybody else?
We can toast Peri's niece.
I will make one for you ruby but not the same as in person.
:-)
ty, Peri

Good morning / good evening :)
Hi Liz, creepily quiet chat today. : )
Sure is. To answer your question about ta
Ta is thanks but ta ta is goodbye or ta ra also goodbye
So just ta is not goodbye?
Not that I've ever heard.
Ta is often said to babies for early language acquisition for thanks
Hey Molly,Liz :)
But also used quite commonly by others
Now, can you explain toodle pip? : D
Also goodbye
no, ta is just thanks.hi molly,liz,smores and any others
Hi lilli
Hi lilli :)
us commoners wouldn't say toodle pip and i don't think it is used much anymore if at all
I was just going to write that but hubby decided to check on google and is doing so now!
Think it stems back to the war (possibly WW1) but as I said, hubby checking
that's what i though liz
evening all, can someone give me a clue for the 3rd fa 5 please?
See I thought toodle pip was Australian. But I forget that a lot of what is Australian comes from British. As in a lot of what is Canadian comes from British.
difficult to explain the pronunciation of ta ra (it's very much run together - almost char)
chara
we say tara up here
Origins of toodle pip unknown - cheery way of saying goodbye - variation of toodleoo!
clue for the 3rd fa 5 please
hi button,not thin and first 2 letters of liquid from a tap
Islamic decree
Lilliann, thanks so much, got it
I still don't get how people get that clue from the definition.
yw button
Toodleoo - first from 1911 - from sounding of a hunting horn or an English pronunctiation of French a tout a l heure
i wouldn't know it from the definition
I think because it became commonly used with Salman Rushdie - at least that's where I know it from
They sang Tarara Boom Dee Ay here in the 1890's : D
interesting to know liz about toodleoo
toodle pip is apparently much more modern - 1970s or 80s! Wow! That's a surprise
Well that explains it as I know very little about Salman Rushdie.
All I know is that this decree was issued against him. Made big news in the UK
i thought ww2 and maybe 50's but i certainly didn't think it was as late as the 80's
BBS - got to hang out washing :(
I know that they got all hacked off at him for writing his book, but never knew the term for their hacked offedness.
And somehow, I can hear Robin Williams doing a comedy routine about that word. What a dumb word for a death decree.
Oh sorry, we aren't allowed to call words dumb here anymore.
are we not?i think alot of words on here are dumb
<---comes out of lurk...
clue for ta7 plz?
how about stupid?
black stuff and slang for marijuana
hey Jilly
hi jill
ty smores....dumb word ;)
:) jilly
stupid too
Hello lillian!
THere are an awful lot of rule breakers here tonight.
yep :)
what's the use of rules if we can't break them :)
Word game players=free thinkers
Well, have a meeting to get ready for..hopefully will be back later to finish. If not, have 81 and all 6,7,8's...thanks for your help!
haha...agree lilli
*waits for Molly's comment on my popping in/out*
Bye for now Jilly :)
bye jill.tc
woohoo W's whipped
T's terminated
go smores :)
lol...still have 50 to go
People have a right to their opinions. They should be able to say they think a word is dumb, without there being condescending remarks made. And that...is my opinion. : P
agree Molly...and even if I didn't...that is your entitled opinion
Dumb thing to say :)
well said the both of you
Or not?
:D
18 left here - struggling now

Hm! The last 2 words I've entered have both been male names!!!!
I must be missing something. I only see one male name in the word list.
Oops, there is the other one. Alternate spelling
One is an optional spelling ma 4 - also has another meaning and one is lo 5 - which I thought was a berry but also is a male name and the name of one of my teddy bears!!!!!

It's one of those "sell it at home" things here. Like Tupperware.

Women have "parties" to which they invite other women so those women can buy what they are selling. I only go when my friends wives are having them so I can hang out in the backyard with the guys and the keg.
De 6/33 please?
Volley's first name + word for pale

hi sue, how goes it with you and Frank?
pretty good, Frank still is getting supplemental magnesium almost every day but they're keeping on with his chemo so that is good
my headaches are probably due to stress (duh) and muscle tension from my neck
stress. who'd have guessed?
I used to get that until I retired
yeah, jeez, can't imagine
well, I retired but it hasn't helped yet
Yes, but you have an ill loved one
and I am working while retired. Not a good combination.
but week after next two candidates for the department chair position are interviewing - yay!
hopefully at least one of them will be acceptable to the faculty and the dean, and will actually want to come here
hello sue.
hi TO! Are those Morris dancers in your icon?

After dessert, I'm back with only 133 words left.
hello, gmere

Hi TO, now Murphy wants me to play but he's also content to find my husband and get attention there.
Hey there, y'all. May I please have a clue for ma8-55? Thanks
Hello gmere

Hi mama. Hope your evening is going well.
hello dan hello stiddy
hellp peachy
Hey there, stiddie, dan and gmere.
Hi to TO as well.
Hi gapeach and dan.
It's going ok, this is Matthew here. mama is getting ready for tomorrow and Dad is working on my computer
Hi gapeach
'evening, folks
hi welk.
Hey there, welki.
i would like to be done but lack two words with no prospects
ta7 pls?
I lack 47
past tense eagle claws, TO
i've been working too many hours and haven't been finishing grids lately
what about the 2nd ta7?
no i have that one, wait a sec
<-- me again, Matthew is helping.
welk, you lost time yesterday then
How is Matthew helping?
helping find wurds! :-)
lost time? i've lost lots of time lately.
Thanks much, TO for the clue for ma8.....numb brain as usual.
btw, you left the pattern in the car. will bring it by soon but not tomorrow. Grant spiked a fever again.
hehe not really lost, since i know where it's gone
the incident that sent you home
black viscous substance and plants culled from a garden
ta7/48 pls?
If I only had a brain, I probably would remember things. The wonderful pkg from Bugs is here whenever you get by.
perfect clue! (((BR))) how are you? miss you!
oh get this - it wasn't a bomb. it was something that was rigged to look like a bomb. only thing missing was the explosive. i thought of caddy shack -- everyone out of the pool! doody! (and it's a baby ruth)
LOL I read "the wonderful pig from Bugs" *sigh* it's going to be an interesting teaching day tomorrow.
oh man, welki -- what an incredible thing to discover.
good clue BR thx
he got the response he was looking for. they've already released him. as$hole.
wow. I don't think something like that would result in a quick release here... I hope not!
at this point, i don't even know if he was charged - could be that there has to be consult between enforcement agencies and Crown before appropriate charges are laid.
BUT - i try to keep sight of the fact that no one was hurt, only inconvenienced
I've heard of a unabomber. but not a nonabomber
hey ruru
i much prefer the idea of a nonabomber
was pretty scary
finally got the 8, that is a new one for me!
I bet..
Hello ruru and welki.
clue for the 8, stid?
hi stidgmere
hi stidgmere

you want sexy dancing, check out my fb post. welk you would make a great zedeco dancer
I am also surgery averse, ruru -- but for something that they know what's wrong and how to fix it -- if they could guarantee my hip would stay in place and stop hurting, then I would definitely do it. Just they don't even know what's wrong with the stupid thing. And they want to operate only to see if they can find something. *rolls eyes*
we do have some VERY male dancers.
very SEXY male dancers
LOL TO!
stuck at 22

good Evening, Everyone. My grandson turned 4 today; he's been sick this week; and although his smile and energy are back; he still hasn't got his appetite back yet. He couldn't eat his favorite foods (pasta and shrimp) or even 3 bites of his b'day cake. Other than that; we had a very nice day!
i have tar 7/48 what is the other one please?
Aw, Nef, sorry to hear that. Just hold him as often as you can. I'll "send".
ta 7/32; PT of the claws of a bird of prey
Hold him, peach? I could barely keep up today! :-)
no idea nef unfortunately
now over the weekend and through Tuesday; he was listless and wrung out.
Well, bless your heart.....they can be fast at that age, can't they?
eagles haveta 5/10 instead of toenails, MLF; add the PT 2 letters to that
you could always have another party when he gets better?

We will on Saturday; this was just family tonight. He was so excited about turning 4 today that his parents and we decided that we'd celebrate today. Saturday we'll have his 2 friends (my "adopted" grandkids; our former neighbors) over for a play date and a pinnate. He's been to 2 parties recently where things got really crazy. His Mom wasn't going to have any kids at all (and no party);
