I find what I can, use clues from the log, try to hold off on Lickety until under 20 left
Hi Ellie
Ellie, everyone does it different. I always try to wait until I'm half way before I use Lickety's list; others use it right away (they may have less time to play)
thanks jess, seems like a good strategy
okay… for some reason i don't want to think about numbers with letters till i have to

g'day flosey
hi Rose, had gone to bed but sleepless!!, what's new, eh!
*giggle* it's so annoying isn't it? i usually get so annoyed, lying there in the dark, listening to don snoring gently away.
yes, me too!
flosey, i have had the loveliest day. the eldest daughter of my dear friend who died, and also my god-daughter, came out and visited me.
how lovely, Rose
one son and grandson still with us until Wednesday
the poor kid is missing 'family'. don and i are thinking of being a 'surrogate' family to her.
oh lovely flosey. what a visit you have had.
rose, that would be lovely for you and Don
she is nearly 19. and she needs some sort of ties.
it was great when they were all here - and special for my birthday (and William's next day) - 2 cakes! but we do get a better visit with one family at a time
thanks, grannyrose -- got the pr8
I agree, Rose, remembering myself at that age, there are times you need someone who's lived a little more to feel close to
her aunt and uncle who were her legal guardians when both parents died are not particularly well, mentally and emotionally. she feels alienated by them.

Morning. Does the im, 8 begin with naughty child?
yes, alleyn. extend the im7
good morning all
Think I need a hint - too early here to fathom it!
to find new lands and civilizations = to ex*****. Make it im- and person who ending.
{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite
*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, how was your day?
back in chog. have been out with my go-daughter
ugh ** god **
Thx Sprite.
lol, ok. I admit I was wondering what a godaughter could be. Did you have a good time?
yvw Alleyn :)
absolutely. and you? you survived yesterday. any repercussions over night?
tired as can be, lots of pain and waking up with a vicious headache. Last thing might be a threathening thunderstorm as well. We'll see. Otherwise I am fine.
lollll. that's like saying, well i've had to have both legs cut off, and i broke one arm, but i'm okay. you poor thing. i thought it was going to be too much for you.
nah, all minor things, it will pass without needing much treatment, lol.
what does the weather forecast say?
possible thunderstorm, I just checked.
oh rose, I added a new one recently: raindear - wet, sweet and very dyslectic reindeer
fireworks!
gratz smom
sprite? do you remember an english tv show with a shyster, arthur daly,played by george cole, and his off-sider, played by dennis waterman?
WTG AARONSMOM!!!!
can't say that I do. What was it called?
minder.
no sorry, never seen it. Not even sure if it aired at all here.
very funny show. we have a wholesale store called arthur daly's. i bought some really great socks, in fishnet black. lolll and dirt cheap too. 2 pair cost me less than $2.
sounds good :D
did you see my new addition to the dictionary?
i thought they would be good in the warmer weather to cover the scars on my left ankle.
smart thinking. Though scars are not something to be ashamed of.
the ones on the outside of my foot are still purple. not a good look.
goes well with your favorite colours though
trust you!!!
*giggles* Um sweetie.... check 3.55 am and 3..47 am, please...
oh, oh, oh, how delightful. * giggling *
:D
fireflies. A bit too quickly, this one
I must be off, alas. *hugs* my dear rose, sleep well. And bye all!

Good morning, everybody:)
NBT :)
Hi again.
Howdy, Sukee
Hi crossy
Having breakfast,boiled egg, toast and bacon :)
Looks like you sent me some rain sukee:)
Yaa for breakfast!
We have some today, but we needed it.
We have been fortunate up here in that all spring and summer we have been getting rain and sun, as needed in the right proportions:) The grass, trees and forests are a rich and verdant, as they should be.
The water levels in the bay are actually back to the old levels of 20 years ago.
Yes, and no smoke.
No, our friends on the west coast are dealing with a nasty fire I hear.
People are getting smoke as far as Minnesota.
:(
I am terrible. i should look at the news more than once a week:(
re6, please?
There is a clue for it down in the chog, I just found it.
lol, CNN is not the place to go for Canadian news. We do not seem to exist. I better fire up CBC to get news on the fire;)
at 5:16
I watch Canada AM each day.
I gave up on cable tv over two years ago:)
So you get news on the radio?
Yup or stream it on the net as I want it.
Or online.
thanks sukee
YW.
Barring that, a good, old fashioned newspaper:)
Crossy, can you give me the stats for the lone R at the bottom of the second column?
I love our three dailies. The Toronto Star is so uptight it needs medication, The Toronto Sun is like your Good ole uncle Harry in that he is nice enough but you don't leave him alone with the kids. lol I split the difference and get the Globe and mail, which is more for the 1% but is overall more balanced.
ri 6/24
I used to prefer the Globe, the Sun is such a tabloid.
ty
ri7 stiltskin
TY I got it. That used to be my favorite fairy tale for some reason.
with slightly different spelling of course :)
I love the Globes adverts. they do not get the irony of putting ads for $20,000.00 wrist watches right beside columns on what can be done for child poverty in the city....
it is kind of like those $1000.00 a plate charity dinners where the ladies show up wearing a million dollars worth of bling around their necks...
Like the ads at the back of The New Yorker :)
The New Yorker is for the 1% OF the 1%
But, I still like to read it :)
I used to buy the New York Times on Sunday once in a while. You could spend a whole day on it.
Wife saw one in a drs office. Amazing that a $1500.00 pair of jeans actually exists
Yep, there is money there, for a few.
Well, this planet needs someone at the oars as well:)
Yep, calling for thunderstorms today, just as well I don't have to go out today.
Yup, supposed to get real heavy by mid-day
As a kid I always thought I was fated to be rich :) No such luck. I should not have chosen library work.
I have to go to Barrie today, unfortunately. it is an oncology appt. I do not dare miss those.
Just a regular check up right?
I think you can ffind more happiness among the books than counting money:)
That is true.
YUp. Just a regular, but they are so important
I only missed one once, in 2003, and it almost cost me dearly.
My appointments these days in terms of past cancer is just my yearly mammogram.
I am once every 6 months
When did you have cancer last?
Must hit the shower brb
Yes, I need a bit of a break too.
can anyone help with the ho6/24? just cant get it
rhymes with fo6 word meaning to caress
Sounds like an fo word that means to grope or caress (usually sexual parts)
snap molly LOL
Une and I are sharing a brain today : )
hee hee
lol///htank you!!!!
ho6, please?
that's what we just clued, marc LOL

crossy, I am trying to figure out how to visit with carlee in September. If I do we may take a ride to see you
Just let me know in advance, and bring your hiking poles and water bottles;)
this person does not hike....lol!
!!!
anyone to7/36?
still getting this new hip in gear.....can now do stairs....
hopefully you eat fish and chips?
Ahh, I am sorry, I forgot your hip:(
hi everyone :)
hip is good just needs strengthening now
Then a nice drive on the 4x4 tails on the hill for you then
trails*
ty for clues. i got the 9!
that would be fun!
uh oh.... no lickety today?
I cant fly all the up as too expensive....so now looking into an alternate plan....fly to buffalo and drive a rental from there
yes lickety is up
it ha been so long since I have knocked the list down to 20 or less that I almost forget what Lickety's looks like:)
travel agent looking into it. Too long a drive all the way up for me on my own
I haven't used lickety in ages either
When my brother visits, he gets off at Buffalo as well. saves almost a thousand dollars on 3 three people
I figured buffalo may not be as bad crossing the border as Detroit
Funny, he is in NV now and last time he had to come up to visit his Mrs. parents in Timmins it was minus 47C! lol
I drove to Quebec last year - 6 hours is OK - 12 is just too long for me.
especially midweek/midday river
Visit her parents*
I am looking at a Wed or Thurs to Monday
should be good timss to cross the border. weekends are worse in summer
wow crossy - talk about a change in the temperature....he must have gone into shock!
That he did!
stats for that lone R please
Ok, must head off to my appt. Wish me luck. This time at least, they have had the blood work for a couple of weeks, so i will get the results immediately.
all the best crossy
Poink!
Hi kids.
Hi scrabbs
Are you coming this way, River?
bye Crossy HI Scrabbs
I am trying to plan a trip to see Carleecat in Ontario. Airfare to there is way too expensive so thinking about flying into Buffalo and driving from there.
Oooh, when?
Flights into Sarnia or London were over $800. Thinking about leaving just after labor day - that Wed or Thurs
I work all day Wednesdays and Thursdays, but maybe we could meet up in the evening.
She told me she is about 2 hours away from the falls.
to7/36, please?
I love to make that work if we could
And Buffalo Airport to NF, NY = 30 min.
thats still a doable drive for me - not 12 hours driving from home
I live 50 min drive south of Buffalo Airport, but my mom and sister live up that way so I visit once weekly.
she also offerred to come get me but wonder how it would be for her to cross border both ways - a pain I am sure.
My limit for driving is about 6 hrs, so even trips to Cape Cod (9-10 hrs) were brutal.
Depends on the day and time, River. Sometimes crossing the border is a breeze.
thats my limit too - did that last year when I went to Quebec to visit another gaming friend
don't have it yet marc, sorry
me neither Marc
And crossing depends on the bridge too. There are 3 choices here--Peace Bridge, Rainbow Bridge, and Queenston-Lewiston Bridge.
I have 40 left and still dont have NBT or NBS
I have to go thanks for all the clues I will come back later to finish
ttfn marc :)
please dont confuse me scrabbs - doesnt take much...lol!
Sorry, River. But the choices confuse most people that live here.
peace bridge gives least confusion for highway access... or queenston/lewiston bridge..... have lunch in niagara on the lake?
I crossed one bridge once 40 years ago.....went out west with my first husband, decided to come home through Canada so crossed over in Detroit and then back into the states in Niagra Falls
NOTL is such a treasure!
what is that
BBS, must get some coffee before I see my first patient.
bye scrabbs...nice chatting
I must get to work anyway - have a great day everyone
Niagara-on-the-Lake--an adorable village on Lake Ontario where the Niagara River enters the lake. Grape/wine country!
nice
the to 7/36 - tenuous grasp with lower appendage?
thanks Kate
Nice clue.
also home to Shaw festival - they run plays in 3 different theatres up to November... historic buildings, lovely restaurants, fine dining, lovely band b's - you get the picture
37 left - must go now
bye river
TK, what a great clue, thanks
lol, yvw!
And we have launched our kayaks from the beach there for some nice paddling on the lake and river. A few years ago we paddled across to Fort Niagara, US and we were not hassled although I am sure the Coast Guard there was watching us carefully.

good morning dear friends
Mornin' Frif :)
morning Fate
Hi Trif....was yesterday's situation solved?
good morning, everyone! pi7, plz?
hi dawg
ugh annie, you won't EVEN.....the school caved. I have to go to the kid's house to tutor him, and I am PISSED - home tutoring is only five hours a week, whereas the school program was twelve. So my summer pay just got cut in half, thanks very much.
a card game?
and now I am responsible for setting all his curriculum, materials, and everything else
hi dawg :))
Trif , that is not fair
hi kate, ty for the pi7
I agree, but politically its way dangerous for me to make a fuss.
the card game dawg
I have seen what happens to staff members that balk - lunch duty, the worst classes, etc.
...sounds like the very tippy top of something.
hi annie! trif, that really sucks
Trif, I wouldn't make a fuss. There might be retaliation.
so this is where we are now: I am tutoring a boy who has not been in school since NOVEMBER, with the intent of getting him ready for 9th grade. A regular school week for us is 30 hours. I am authorized to meet with him 5 hours a week, for 4 weeks. Explain to me how I am going to teach this kid a year's worth of material in less than a full week's school time?
I dont see how it can be done.
12 hours of homework each day...
Back. I just saw a really nice female adolescent--not so common.
concentrate on math...hopefully he can wing the english and other "softer" courses
Ugh, Trif. That sucks for you and the kid.
I would tell the kid and his parents what HE must accomplish this summer. You are the teacher and guide, he must put in the work to be ready for gr 9.
really nice female adolescents DO exist scrabbler!!!! have several at my school
good morning all. early chat shows that there are pr8 and tr8 and I do not see either. help pls
Respectful, responsible, polite adolescents are always such a treat for us.
I agree scrabbler, but I can tell you this from experience - I leave, he watches TV. I couldn't even get him to read a page and a half of To Kill A Mockingbird to get to the end of the chapter.
I'm so frigging mad about the money, I cant even tell you
I am not surprised, Trif, as his parents seem to have no expectations for him. Just tell him and his parents what you/the school expects of him this summer. Let him and his parents face the consequences.
good plan, scrabbler.
at this point, I must admit, I think they are all a bunch of nut jobs.
They probably are.
I would be very angry about how their decision is costing YOU money this summer--not fair to you.
Sadly the kid is doomed as his parents are not preparing him for adulthood. But there is an epidemic of that and I see it every day.
the kid is doomed because he has a raging anxiety disorder that his parents are not treating - at ALL
Trif that is an awful situation all around
and now, because he is meeting with me privately, instead of in the school program, I am responsible for all his content. so the school a) screwed me out of five hours a pay a week and b) is paying me para rates to do a teacher's job. grrrrrrr
Can the guidance counselor step in at this point and strongly suggest that this kid needs major help.
was just going to suggest that, Annie
Trif, do you belong to a union? This would never fly in NYC.
she has annie. EVERYONE, from the school nurse on down, has been telling them this for years. But they don't want anything to do with anything that sounds like a "mental disorder"
Can you respectuflly decline the assignment? Stating your reasons...
Yes annie, but they don't touch stuff like this, and again, "squawk and you walk"
I thought of that Kate, but then I am really in the soup - no money at all, and the school would be LIVID
it's 20 hours. I will do it with a smile on my face, and never sign up for this again
I am in it now.
Which reprisal from the school would be worse? Trying to do the impossible job poorly or not doing it at all? BUT money is an issue too.
to be totally honest - the principal has washed her hands of this whole thing. he is done with 8th grade. as far as she is concerned, he is the high school's problem now
why isn't the kid in the 12 hour a week program at the school?
according to his parents, he "cant handle it" - the kids never leaves the house. Boo Radley, the poor thing
so, he will probably have to repeat most of grade 9... that should wake everyone up...
no, the parents will start battering the high school until they provide a tutor for him. This is the parent's gig - they want all their kids home schooled, and they want the town to pay for it.
so he will continue to be home schooled in grade 9?
so he will continue to be home schooled in grade 9?
So he is Boo Radley and you are having him read "To Kill A Mockingbird"? Humorous
oh, the irony, molly!
anyway....let's move on.
If he starts carving you figurines beware when he has the scissors
hahahahahaha
if they choose to home school, shouldn't they be teaching him? Or paying tutors out of their own pocket... not sure I understand the logic or law of htis
yes, kate, on all counts. but they keep claiming he has this medical reason, or that one, so that the school is on the hook.
Home instruction means less face-to-face time with the teacher and more initiative and responsibility for the kid.
BBS. Got to see a 3 yr old now--fun!
until you give them the shot, yup
Are they parents claiming the kid is disabled? I bet they are collecting SSI or some sort of money for him? Hence, cant leave the house, school come to house. I would not be surprised if this is the case. Slick
ooooh, I never thought of that, annie!
Some parents are ruthless. They just throw their children away.
If they are collecting Social Security they would have to have an approved diagnosis by a physician
That is not that hard to get.
man, the second column today is just a tricky little bugger, isn't it?
I can't believe parents would do that. (if they are doing that). Bobby was accepted into early education and I sat in that classroom with an infant for three months because he would not stop crying and the teachers worked with me.
I've only got the lone r in the whole column, ty for pointing that out Trif :(
I was so grateful he was accepted into the program. It was so new at that time.
I guess I'm lost in the details of this story. I thought Trif said the parents were "claiming" the kid had Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder, but the kid had never been officially diagnosed
lol, sorry kate!
that is right molly.
it's ok... I have lots of time today
Early programs for kids with disabilities are so beneficial to the child. It's a shame more parents don't get their kids diagnosed at an early age.
one more question....Did the school allow tutoring without a diagnosis?
yes
and, on good faith, my principal went to court to address the truancy issue, without the medical documentation. a mistake SHE will never make again
pr8?
I can't find any 8s lbd, I am so sorry
pr8 ends like the "multiples" people take daily
oh well done you!!!!
I don't get why these people are getting so much free assistance without a documented disability.

Good on u! I am trying to go sleep but nothing is working!
Is really cold here tonight

is this grid harder then it seems so far? I have been here a few minutes and only have 13 words at the moment?
first ma6?
28 was a very good year for me.
Ruru and kje, I met a guy from San Luis Obispo on Saturday. Near you?
this is a good year for me... I'll stay here for now
south of us
it's challenging
about 4 hours
All hail to the old faces and old guard!!!!
35 used to be "the start of middle age"... didn't like that year at all
Hi Scrabs
define "near"
ma + alt spelling for opp of before
ma 6 begins with crime group and ends with op of energetic
mostly
ty!
san luis is near santa Barbara scrabs..
OK, kje, I know you are in the same state and that California is hige.
middle age is now at least 60! LOL
Great clue!!
chog is flying
Judy, at least!
it's south of here - very pretty place... gonna come visit him???
if that's so.. I'm middle aged. I should buy another sports car
Id like to push middle age a bit further along as I am within a decade of 60...
*so much for the visions of 28*
a crisis coming up, Ru?
oh ha...
I'm done with crisis for now
Glad to hear that.
I'm ready for some smooth sailing for a while
I must still be asleep still not getting the ma6.. got the first 3 letters though?
It's never too late to have another mid-life crisis
and just broke over halfway. gotta go get busy with chores, will bbl.
the beginning of being sleepy (add)
well I could buy my dream car now if I wanted
bye, weed
Bye, Feather.
bye feather!
ruru begins with t?
crises are exhausting... just go do what you want now that you are old and free, ru
not saying ml.. but you're on the right track
Ruru, buy that car if you want it!
No big trips planned. Gotta stay rather close to home with Mom being elderly now.
You could buy a third world country now if you wanted
:D
what kind of car, Ruru?
I slobber over the audi R8 judy
is she doing ok, scrab?
Nice!
life is short; buy the car, Ruru!
I want a fiat, ru... lots of easy city parking
ma /30right?
they have to hand me paper towels when I go to the dealership so that I don't drool on the display model
hahahahaha
Fiats are a piece of crap kje
by a mini cooper better car
yes, MLF
the mini drives like a truck... very rough ride
my dream car from high school was a yellow corvette
I got it thank you all
but it drives
This grid IS hard.
There used to be a Ferrari dealership across the street from my office. They had to hand out towels to the male visitors for the same (and other) reasons
I can't see you in a Fiat Kje
I can
Ferraris are wasted in America.
but will prob drive this one till it dies... so by then maybe something new will be out
*marks calendar for dates to remind KJE I told her not to buy it*
clue for re 6 please?
kje, she is a skeletal disaster--bad arthritis in knees and spine, uses a walker--but otherwise healthy. No cardiovascular problems. No dementia.
Ferraris are ridiculous for america
not out west, ego... long expanses of remote windy roads with no cops around
I have a friend who is a major car collector--so I've at least ridden in a ferrari, porsches, corvettes, etc.
and you like corvettes the best judy?
re6 ia a fish
I love my Subaru Crosstrek.
hego, not ego
don't know why they always called to me, Ru
But to see them streaking down the autostrada in Italy, Ah! That is car heaven.
TY, aebmusica
sorry to hear, scrab
never could drive a stick, but now you can buy an automatic. :)
Or on Mountain roads.
bummer, Scrabs. So hard to watch our parents age.
is there a way to turn off autocorrect for a specific site only?
I love the old corvettes from the 60's
not in my case judy
But at least she is not demented nor ill. She hobbles around and can still take care of her bathroom needs. Things could be worse.
hello all. Could I get the stats for the lone r on top please?

harp its a fish I think?
How about the bottom row R and the O's?

Yay for the "oldies"!!!!!!!

in favour of a scottish cap and not being outdoors maybe...
ma 6/ 30, first one pls
hm
Good clue Kate!
sounds like m+ opposite of before
m + not fore but *** on a boat + first part of to press a shirt?

ma 6/21, all three of them pls
the 1st is a bird bichon
got the second one
2nd is a french morning
3rd ma6/21 is..... Nurse Ratchet maybe?
or think kind of a head nurse in the British shows...
... sorry kate ... the french morning has only one t so it's in the grid too ... what this one with two t's is who knows" the dictionary didn't
I got that one, it's the second. Need first an last
just working on the m's now

4th is the bird again only double the consonat
First ma6 is first three of Italian mob + first three of dessert that ends in amisu
got them all, ty Kate
lol...nm my numbering system....
yw
too bad I can't go back and edit the chog... someone is going to be very confused if they read back... the 2nd one I clued is a ma 5/12...
which one is the ma5, tk? I'm still stuck
... the second is ma6/30 ... it sounds like a man's name ... ... I think it comes from the word for a letter granted by the king to allow a sea captain to act as a privateer and plunder enemy ships ... Letters of "maxxxx"
I thought the french morning was the 5.
oh, duh! thanks
... there is an ma5 which is french for morning or catholic for morning mass ... .... there's an ma6 if you double the middle consonent
yw
ty Dose, was wondering about the dble letter one.

DONE
at6 is at + ripped
ty Harry
bye!
ho 6/24 please?
nm, got it
share pls
Good afternoon, everybody:)
having torrential rain at the moment so it is a good time to babble:)
Since it is not in the dictionary and three different "urban" dictionaries give it three different meanings, The only way to really clue it is to say that you can change out the o for another vowel and it would be something you use with your fingers to lift a mug or teacup to your lips...
could be another word to mean fondle or haggle, but that is still debatable.
ty crossy. just looked at chat. was needing that one :-)
:)
fini and have to run- happy babbling all
hello
Oh good grief!! I don't come here for a very long time, and then I see two of my favourite people right at the top of the chog....
aussieme!! oh my gosh! hello!
Hey Une!! *kisses*
:-)
hi, aussie and une :)
Hey Seain
It's turned into a homecoming week here. It's been lovely.
I haven't babbled for a very long time, thought I'd drop in and play a while.
i have finished maybe a handful of grid in years.
howdy seain :-)
is everyone having a decent Summer?
decent but hot! :-)
Had a hot week last week, waiting for good weather again, it rained today
It's been very, very rainy here. the ground is water-logged.
we've had a weird mix of pleasant and hot. May was our hottest ever. June was nice. So far, the humidity has been not horrible through July.
Howdy, Aussime:))
Hey Crossy xox
Hi all!
Nice to see you once again;)
Howdy magmom:)
You too Crossy. I've missed being here.
Hey MagMom!

Hey Nan!!!!

ho 6, please?
clue me the fourth L word please? I have the citrus one, the noble one and the body of knowledge one....
ho6 sounds like an fo word that means to caress in a sexual way
Thanks Molly
ty molly
... the first is le4 ... sounds like the den that an animal might live in ... ... or if you get to watch PBS ... it sounds like the second name in the nightly "McNiel, Lxxxx Report"
Hi Babble Buds! Back again … and hoping I finish this one :)

hello, dorens :)
i think it's an aquatic creature
something eely i think
ah, it is a fish :) Literally.
fish it is, then. slap me with a re6/21
It is that fish that swims along with sharks.
It cleans off parasites
useful fish
It is indeed
Not an eel tho'
no, i googled it and see it. Don't know why i thought it was an eel. I was wrong. (happens more than I'd like to admit)
clue for the cl6 please?
don't have it yet. not listed... will look
thymes with to5
to5/16 that is.
I don't have the to5/16 but I'll work on it.
(high point letter in there)
Aussieme, I haven't seen you in ages have I?
Thanks Dorens! No, I haven't been here in a long time
how've you been? And that adorable little girl of yours?
My adorable little girl is now 9 years old, she got big! I'm all good. Was made redundant, then laid off from the next job, and am now a Carer in a Dementia Care Home.
your little girl is NINE! wow!
She sure is Une!
9 years old? That's about as long as I've been babbling.. Glad you're good. That job must be somewhat stressful. GOod you have the temperament for it.
amazing!
Hey Une...
hey dorens :-)
whewwwwww
Name that proper noun..... beloved character from Agatha Christie..
miss MARPLE!
Hey Hursh! Long time no see
go hursh!
Ding Ding Ding!!
(she wins her own game)
:-)
Hi Dor, Une, Hurshy and Aussie :)
i have had 4 consecutive workdays (with long weekend in between though), with WORK THE WHOLE DAY. it turns out, doing your job while training your replacement to do it, takes up a lot more time than just doing your job.
welcome back muse
oh it sure does, hursh. I've done that. But why are you being replaced? Where are you going? and hi, muse
my husband has taken a job elsewhere, we're moving.
i am beyond thrilled to be leaving my job.
Happy for you. Where are you moving to?
prefer not to say online :)
Okay, I understand. Best of luck though. Hope you find something good to do there.
anyone have a clue for either of the ma 6/30's?
hey mymuse :-)
first 3 letters of cosa nostra + if you have a flat, you must change the ***e
weird word!
other ma6 first three letters of ***ie Osmond + 3-letter word meaning "what?" in french and spanish
thanks une. that's one I might never have monkeyed (monkied?)
LOL
ty again. a bit more common, but not a whole lot.
:-)
you were right first time dorens, monkeyed
good to know.
so i'm down to one word, it's the pi6. Don't want a clue just yet, only want to know if it's fishworthy...
The strange ma6 word is actually a Hebrew word and refers to the short Torah reading just before the reading from Prophets chanted each Shabbat. Why it's acceptable in Babble is beyond me!
no rhyme or reason with Babble :-)
it does look hebrew. And why ANYword is acceptable in Babble is often beyond us all.
we do get other hebrew/yiddish words
like shtetl
we do, but I've never figured out the arbitrary decision as to whIch words we get and which we don't/
Thanks Une! Dinner calls, will pop in again.
schmo
yeah idk either
Dorens, according to list, it's a pi7/36
the rule is to try everything.
Sure we do but that one is so uncommon and not part of Yinglish
yeah i haven't heard it before
I've been somewhat Jewish for 65 years and never heard that one.
thanks Aussie. I think i'm actually have to resort to Morewords. Or a clue.
ho6?
hi all
yiddish word.
another one? oh dear
to bargain. hi owl
ho6 - a sexual word, replace fo with ho
ho6 rhymes with fo6 word meaning to caress
Hey Temple!!!!
thanks
omg hi mate!
Babble is looking so retro these days!
Very long time no see! LOL.....
Owl, did you hear the sad news about Chic? I thought about emailing you.
I heard about Chic.... Gutted.
chic?
i did not.
what happened?
Chic passed away.
oh :( how old?
I don't know. Her sister jus posted that she passed away. She had many medical issues.
I kind of thought she was around my age..
Pi 7 please
well, the internet age doesn't prevent us from aging and dying...
i second meliae's motion
Gave up and listed
on fb?
i'm trying to find it myself meliae... clue me please when you find dit.
yes, on FB. Chic and I used to play scrabble so I guess that's how I got her sister's post.
Pi 7/36 is stats oh dang think I know
she is my fb friend but i did not see it. have not been there today.
chic, nut, mr p and i used to play scrabble. did you play with us as well?
yes, i think so. also mamma bear and helen keller. It was the reason I joined facebook, just to play scrabble with babblers!
Oh nope what ithought does not fit
Evening all

there are lots of lurkerz that probably are thanking you right now for your post.. some are too shy to even get on the chog for a minute to say thanks...
indeed
and was half way out the door
lol TO.. lured back into Babbleland when you thought you could just slip out quietly?
when some one tells you your clue is too intellectual nstead of googling the damned definition, THEN complain to me.
Hi all
morning Liz
Back to find my last 4 words - just too tired last night
Hi Lyn
have you been using big words again Owl?
hi and bye, liz.
Is it as cold where you are as it is here?
Bye TO - have a good evening
8.6 - up from 5 - and on top of that I have a b***** cold
Not pleasant - the temperature or the cold. Wish you better very soon.
It was down to 8 last night - but forecast to be much colder over the weekend and early next week.
however it is a beautiful blue clear sky so at least it looks nice
wow, do you even have woolies?
Same here - we'll head out for a foreshore walk very soon.
Left over from England! Slept with 2 duvets last night.

Quiet chorg ,so I am off for the night. A good book is waiting. Have a good night my friends, and happy Babbling.
I keep peeking in every now and then, in case clues are needed
night crossy

I'm guessing the chorg isn't going to respond weedie
chorg?

we should talk dr. G into a dyslexic babble.. we'd mostly all be better at it
Oh, love it. Dran tyops, pyu!
Hi JB
:) hi jbs

Hi, feather! Hi, ruru!
I actually do have a mild case of dyslexia.. but I can laugh about it
it is debilitating as an affliction
I
i saw a thing where someone created a font that shows what it's like to read as a dyslexic. most of the identifying features of each letter are removed. it was SO difficult to read...gave me a good perspective on what it's like to truly struggle to read a paragraph.
arrrgh I
I'm so thankful for being able to read pretty quickly and straight. My typing is sometimes another matter entirely!
I have to read slowly .. but I get there eventually
I
you ok there, jb?
so nice to have you back for the summer weedy
I'm going to dive into the grid. I keep hitting my enter key on my iPad keyboard instead of the apostrophe key.
does it make a difference for you when doing a grid, ruru? or since they're jumbled up, does it not batter?
MATTER, lol!!!!
maybe that's why i'm pretty good at this game FB
haha, feather. And why is he calling you 'weedy'?
your brain's already used to figuring out words from what seem to be a jumble of letters, i'm guessing
could be
lol, kje's nickname for me. one sec...
KJE calls feather weed.. so I've joined the posse
feather=heather heather=flowering weed
I think I need to make some dinner.. i'm starvin'
Ah. Lookit feather, you gotta posse!
i actually don't even notice it anymore! didn't really even realize you were, i'm just as much "weed" as i am "featherbee"
you guys take care
Enjoy, ruru, will see you tomorrow.
night ruru
LOL, feather
hmm, do i have to feed the posse? i'm not so good on the regular feeding of my kids, much less a posse.... I need a personal chef.
Well, this is the last thing I can finish today. I've been working to finish the grid every day as part of my focusing therapy to combat my recently diagnosed ADHD.
Nah, just send em to the penalty box, there's usually imaginary food there for virtual friends!
interesting therapy! good idea! let me know if you need clues.
and lots of people always randomly toss chocolates around, so i guess i'm covered!
Thanks, weedy feather! Feathery weed? Feedy weather? hmm, I like the last one!
LOL!
I guess a chocolate rain WOULD be considered 'feedy weather'
cloudy with a chance of chocolates...
Make it rain, please, oh please!
hehehe!
Ha, feather, thanks for the chat! I'm going in to the grid, looks like a good bunch of clues in the chog log, but I'll sing out if I need any from you. Don't stay up on my account, though! Who knows the size of the grid coming up?
i'm playing around on FB, but have this window open and peek in every now and then.
:)
Pr8 is my final word. Any clues?
ends like the daily meds that are good for you
Hi, Naches, I don't have that one yet.

pr8/50 is not not amateur plus I take a Vi***** C pill daily.
