MUAH!
Hi all. Thanks Lickety and welcome back. Hope the weather has calmed down there.
hi folks, thanks Lickety
hello everyone
ty lickety
flip; hi all! hi nan, flosey, liz, kim
ve 7/44
hi Dee
Hi Dee - thanks for the list yesterday
You are so welcome. Great community effort! :)
I always thank everyone, when I finish but that's usually not when you're online.
Thanks so much! That is really sweet!
Lots of us couldn't finish without your help and the help of everyone who lists the letters.
ob 7
I understand that. I almost always have stragglers, so ru, rose, bro, arb, you, and everyone who calls out stats or helps with missing letters helps me finish, too. Since ARB taught me how to put the finished list in excel to post, it makes it easier to complete when lickety is away.
That's what's so good about this babble community.
Helps keep the game fun, and it really becomes a community effort.
I totally agree.
Shalom Dee. Nice to see such a posting first thing!
thanks Liz for ob
yw
Peace to you, too, ARB. Thanks!
ty for ob
co 8
co9 too
Good finds Ru - looking
you find more of the biggies than anyone dee
not at all, ru. I am the queen of the 4 and 5 letter words. I am just good at watching the chog.
What I find really interesting is how some combinations of letters on a grid are so much easier for me than others. Some I just don't see, and others just pop out like a beacon... really interesting how that works.
bo8
Is the co 9 related to the co 8?
sorta
same first four letters
ty looking
wow, definitely have never seen that one before
ta8/9 too
Thanks, Ru
nice, ru, thx
not seeing any of these 8's or 9's - am I missing an ending common to all?
well.. common if you sit down a lot :D
found the ta
thanks Nan
yeah - but I was talling about a suffix or half of a compound
although that did give me nbt, nbs - thanks
wtg
finished
Congrats, Ru.
I also have co8 and 9 - separate words, compounds
wtg Ru
Congrats, ru!
co 9 is completely new to me
wow - impressive - I'm just half way
to me too - both of them
I knew the co 8
it's a relative to the sablefish I think
<--remembers some biology after all these decades :D
the co is a conpound? --- looked for something with the carbon and the outerwear, but not finding anything
you're swimming around it nan :D
maybe reeling :D
<---is being a total jerk
mmm - water and fishing from those hints
co 9 heating material + 1st person pronoun + ending of chocolate satis_ _ _ _ a sweet tooth
co 8 is heating material + trout or perch category
ty dee - haven't seen either of those before
yw
no def. for the 9 of course. I fail to understand how a word is accepted when enable doesn't have a def for it
Isn't that the truth?!
fireworks
grats dee
too much of a struggle right now for me -- will tackle it again in the morning. Good night, everyone
ty. Have a great eve / day all! *poofing with hugs*
fw and off to bed, goodnight if anyone is still here
good morning all
hiya, sprite
hiya rbud! A happy new year to you and yours.
and to you as well! :)
thanks :)
haha, guess it might be time to change my Christmas icon...
Good morning
you can always be early, lol
morning ruby :) *hugs*
hi, ruby
Does that mean I have to remove the wreath? i4D LIKE TO KEEP IT ALL YEAR§
whoops, sorry for shouting
lol by all means, keep it there. If it makes you happy!
I'll add hearts for Valentine's day
How is everybody?
see, there you go. After that, add eggs and chicklets for easter. A torch for pentecost. Then a nice bikini for summer.
am ok. Bit of a bumpy night again, so feeling tired. But it should be an easy day today.
was your day yesterday as good as you predicted?
I had a 3-hour nap yesterday -- glorious and much-needed after exhausting Tues
awesome! So rewarding, good naps.
after having that positive bne scan, I felt greatly relieved
I bet. Such good news. You did well in healing and battling the cancer through all the ordeals, ruby.
one less thing to worry about
It's not over and will be treated as something chronic, but, "enfin", I am very Lucky!
if it is under control, it is cause for celebration for sure. You just hang in there :) And enjoy the peace and quiet of being able to take a long nap, even though you worry about Burt too.
not so worried about him. He's in the best possible place and our family doctor (who came here yesterday), visits him regularly
good. He couldn't have better care.
I am looking forward to Spring!
I think I did my best and the nursing home is purported to be the best one
you did more than your best, and way longer than you should have. We all know it.
I've also given writtn instructions for his care, i.e. no extraordinary measures, do not resuscitate, hospital only for broken bones and no more tests
very good. He should have peace, as much of it as is possible.
I visit once a week and pay a friend the visit 3 times
I think you struck a nice balance with that
I have to take care of myself and, except for the pain, I do more, eat better and have more energy
good job there, ruby
*munching on my last bit of steak* {{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite. {{hugs}} darling ruby.
good evening, dear friend *hugs rose* How did your day go?
((rosie))
phantom: pacifies. Also forbid, but I think that is a general one.
out for coffee with june, and that's it....oh, i did the dirty laundry, but don hung it out and brought it back in.
you are doing so well in pacing yourself!
brava, rosie!
did you sleep well again sprite?
nope. Bumpy night. Bad dreams.
awwww gentle hugs for you (extra )
phantom: diligent. Trust me to spot biggie phantoms, but never biggies!
thanks darling. Can use them today. But no chores needed for today, just a bit of computer stuff for rob.
btw, sprite, did you re-schedule your dietician's appointment? i know you cancelled the last one.
lol yes, did I tell you the drama around that?
no... do tell, please
phantom: placid
I called, the apt. desk lady said she couldn't reschedule. Because they rescheduled once already. Yes, I said, because you needed to, not on my request. No matter, she said, I cannot reschedule
ok, I said, then what? You have to come, she said. I said, I can't. So what do you propose?
oh for goodness sake!
She didn't know. Told me to call the dietician. Gave me the number. I called it, got Radiology. Who gave me the _right_ number. I called it. Got a recording telling me to... you guessed it... the apt. desk lady!
that's outrageous!
so I did. She said the apt couldn't be rescheduled. I told her I didn't mind them doing it without me, but to note that I wouldn't be present.
oh.....my.......goodness.
I'm angry on your behalf!
so... guess who called me on the time of the apt? Exactly, the dietician. Where I was! I explained and she sighed, and said it wasn't the first time this happened. I have a new apt on the 20th now.
talk about a run-around sprite. it's a wonder that person is still breathing.
I wasn't angry at all. It was so ridiculous I couldn't stop laughing.
i hope she gave the apt. lady a mouthful.
I have no doubt she did, lol. In my experience, dieticians are not shy in speaking their minds.
it was one of those situations. you either laugh or cry.
yeah it was. Even a year ago, I would have been livid and frustrated. I am happy that I could laugh it off this time.
good for you sprite. i am proud of you.
and you should have heard the apt lady pant when I told her to go right ahead without me, grin
i bet she did. there's nothing like a determined dutchy. i wish i had been a fly on the wall.
lol yeah that would have been fun. You'd have laughed. Ah well, all is well that ends with a rescheduled appointment.
phantom: venison. Ugh, so many biggie phantoms!
so what was she on about then? what was her reasoning i wonder? some people just should not be allowed contact with the public.
I bet someone told her to not reschedule twice, because it might show lack of motivation for the operation and after-life. Some people learn a rule and then strictly adhere to it.
hmmmph
where's our ruby gone? did my squirrel escape again?
I was "listening"
Hakf, but nothing bigger than a 6!
*giggles* give rose back her squirrel, ruby
*giggle* hugging you ruby love
I just found my first 7, with only 38 left. Nothing over yet.
my maiden name is in here, li** (ruby, a maiden???)
it's not a nice grid at all.
and with that, I found a 8/9 combo
yahoo sprite. nice
lol fair maiden ruby
hmph, wifi not a word
the combo I found is of compounds, ruby, if that helps
wifi is not a word because internet is not a word, lol. Our enable version is wayyyy behind the times.
sending you a paladin, ruby, or a chevalier if you prefer.
either one would do nicely
now, some stats for the biggies, please
*giggle* white horse or gleaming black?
ta8/50 - 9/66
white, pls. It is really nasty today -- windy, drizzling, cold but it's probably snowing in the neighboring mtns
hokay, putting your order in..
I'm supposed to see Burt today, but reall don't feel like it. Bad, selfish Nel
co8/65 is another compound. co9/78 is 3rd person singular to a verb
taking good care of yourself is in the end the best for Burt too, ruby.
I don't think he knows how long it iz between visits and the doctor said he thought B was OK
what sprite said. if you don't look after you, you won't be well enough to help burt. take the day off i say.
I'll call the helper and have her go alone
ah, noblesse ob6/7, nice one
good girl, ruby!
good for you ruby.
all arraned, wood added to fire, Rufe is at my feet and after she sees B., she'll take me to the pharmacy where I'll stock up on my meds
yay ruby. now toast those toes.
toes are good; fingers very cold
you should have a pair of those half-gloves, ruby.
phantom: alpaca
I do, FM sent them years ago, but it's the tips that go numb
not a big deal, though, don't worry
hm don't know a solution for that, right away
I trid "paca" nada
how about a hot water bottle on your knee? rest your fingers on it every now and again.
oh, good idea, rose
I can just picture it: wet knees, wet socks, wet slippers and, worst of all and most stinky, wet Rufie! LOLOLOL
Maybe if I type faster, fingers will warm up
um but ruby, you actually are to close the bottle before putting it on your knee
oh dear....your hotty not new?
ya think?
no shit, sherlock!
no, I just lack trust...
do you need a new one ruby?
bo8 is another compound
I am sitting here chuckling like a fool
*giggles*
No, I only used this one once, when it was new, and had to change the sheets after LOL
Actually, the fire is so hot, that I'm beginning to glisten (too ladylike to sweat -- NOT!)
sounds like a bad one. Get a new rubber one, fill it, hang it upside down over the sink for a while. If that doesn't drip, put it on your knees in future
you guys are too sweert, worrying about old me!
fireflies. Last word ta4 the mexican snack.
it's because you're old that we worry... oh no, it is because we love you that we worry!
I have 47 left, but don't care. I feel happy
WTG SPRITE!!!!
happy trumps fireworks every time
I look so awful, that when I went to a funeral in the village Church on Monday, I middle-aged woman gave me her seat!
terra is lying at my feet, and sometimes he yawns and stretches and pushes my feet off the pillow, lol.
and so she should have. a little show of respect is good.
awww sweet sprite
very good, ruby. Receive it in gratitude, and don't think it is because you look awful.
My friend's son fincally succumbed to his cancer last week, at home, with his valiat mother, my friend Maryse, there 'til the end
valiant*
how dreadful ruby. she must be shattered.how old was he?
so sorry to hear that, ruby. But a good thing he could die at home.
He was only 37 but the cancer was vicious and he never had a chance.
He was only 37 but the cancer was vicious and he never had a chance.
I am gonna cuddle up on the couch with a blanket. I feel like indulging mysef today. *hugs* to you both. Ruby, have a lovely day. And rose, enjoy your evening, sleep well and have a good day tomorrow.
She is shattered, but what she did was enormous!
xoxox sweet sprite.
xxSprite, couches, blankets and dogs are a magic combination
okay, TENS therapy finished and time for bed. xoxox darling ruby.
69 words, never got th big ones, but taking a break anyway
much love, sweeties!!
Is it just me or is this grid flipping hard?
Don't know. Never tried to flip a grid.
lol

Hi zoo
How is Canada today?
Cold, but warming up. Only -7C right now.
Only good grief!
Should be above 0 by the weekend
It was -14 yesterday.
8.5c here.
I would rather it be 8 :)
I would rather it be 28c :-) LOL
Well, yes :)
Good morning, Canada and Britiania! Oh, and Canada? You can have the artic air back now. Thanks for sharing it for the last week or so! From Philadelphia with love <3

zooz, did you make it halfway in the grid?
Point, sukee, point!
Oh wow you are scaring me, JB! I have 55/56 words so far!

I mean, good point!
Don't be scared, zooz, it's just words, after all.
Oh hold on just got to 57/54 so yes I have just gotten over the half way mark!

TY, sukee!!

Me neither the larger ones has to be compound words.
we were minus 25C two days ago, Zooz but is warm now at minus 2C
sorry for slow response. I was off making tea. :)
That is way too cold for me, Crossy. I struggle enough as it is with our temps!
co9? the bo8 and co8 are compound words, both have the critter that swims at the end
Never be sorry for making tea, crossy! Sounds like a good idea, afk, bbs!
I bet a few of the larger words end with the "like" suffix
thanks, Dawg will look...
Toodle pips, JB :-)

Hello Aloy dear.
hello hego
And Ruby dear.
well, I'm on the last lap with 6 left.. hello, hego Dahling
did anybody else cry while watching Obama's speech the other night?
:D
How could you not.
I feel like aa dope!
did'nt watch the speech but saw replays.. obvious how deeply the Prez thinks of the need for legislation
why?
didn't, oops
It was really touching, seeing him try to hold back his tearss
(idiot about hnot getting the clues)
Ah the co word
another attack in Paris!
haven't scrolled back, but I don't have the co9
When?
what? oh no
at 11.30, exactly the same time as the Charlie Hebdo attack oast year
Wasn't it one guy with a knife?
It was not coordinated, just a dumb wannabe who attacked a police station with a kitchen knife
do you need a co9 clue?
but still....
found it kje.. howdy. Think it was a bit of a dumb word, but I see it now
yes, pls
Poor Paris.
lock him up and throw away the key!
very dumb word
ahoy aloy!
co9 - turn something into co4/4 (stocking stuffer for bad kids
the police killed him on the spot
They thoght he had explosives on him.
ends in same ending as someone who qual***** for the Olympics at the Olympic trials
oh.. well no need for lockup.. wonder if he was mentally challenged
security here, even in this backwater, is remarkable. At the market or the hospital or the movies, they check all handbags
he had a fake suicide vest, wanted to be killed, I guess
oh dear, I think you are right, ruby
I think my 1st husband is in Paris right now; he stays in the 10th
near the Dec &"th attack
13th*
Is that Marais?
fw, last word was wi5
everything is becoming scary
Congrats Aloy!!
near it, close to the Canal St Martin
near it, close to the Canal St Martin
Paris is so nice.
I don't know that area very well
Paris was magical
I've spent a lot of time there, mostly in the 9th, just north of the Palais Ro-ale
we felt very safe when we visited .. 3 years ago? explored, took the subway, walked all over.. loved it
Bill got his pocket picked. Not magical.
I've always felt safe there from violent crime... though the pick pocketers are very talented
I loved it, too, but would be very reluctant ogo now
we were warned about that, so we wore money wallets strapped underneath our clothing
We loved it anyway.
I caught one once with his hand in my friends purse and yelled at him... he nonchalantly walked away with his friend. Didn't get anything - just a slice of paris life
one of our friends had his pocket picked on the subway
beggar women in subway corridors with swarms of children picking pockets
I've pickpoketed 3 twice in Madrid.
and one purse snatching. sigh.
it is just city life... same here in big cities, one must be alert
you pickpocketed???? or you were a victim....
right, kje
They never got anything valuable, though.
bc I would love to hear how you picked pockets!
me too
my husand had his Pocket picked in Annecy and I Grabbed the "perp" and he threw the wallet on the groubd and disappeared
It was easy. lol
would love to have seen that, Ruby! you look so tiny in your pics
leggo my heggo
Once it was only an umbrella in my pocket.
lol aloy
lol Aloy
well, I'm going back to my project of planting caladiums today.. anyone need a clue before I go?
I am very small so what I did was dangerous, but I didn't think first
And a purse I used in the evening with just a comb, a lipseick, and tissues.
and I am not brave!
Have a good day. Aloy.
pick pockets aren't looking for a fight... not surprised they gave the wallet up. They want anonymity

I carried my purse to hold a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine (-: Some goodies from the patissierre, I'm sure I didn't spell that correctly!

You could have fooled me Aloy.
It was actually funny as it waas next to a canal and there were many people sittingon restaurant terraces, watching the drama lol
and now you have a story
true
that is the thing about sh** that happens... it gives you stories. I was robbed down on the coast, got to visit the US Consulate in Nice and again in Paris to get my passport replaced... just a story, nothing scary
how many people get to visit the US Embassy in Paris???? inside? so... just an adventure
When you travel you amass lots of good stories.
it's actually interesting, getting to see Inside the country

Hi all
Hi Medusa!
How are you Hego?
Pretty good. ty
hi medusa
?
How are you atalante?
Done and must go. Good day All.
getting very annoyed with a barky little brat dog!
wtg.
wd hego!
What kind of dog is it? lol
cocker spaniel. he's currently chasing the cat. si4!
Aw! I love spaniels. I have 3 dogs. 1 of them is only 6 1/2 months old and so full of herself!
Loki is just 2 and very much a teenaged brat
what sort do you have?
I have 2 Italian whippet brothers and a staffie chi cross. The staffie cross is the baby
The boys are 2 1/2 ish
oh wow, gorgeous :)
They are. Purl, the pup, is more staffie than chi. She is a monster. A cute one though. The boys were 14 months when I got them. They were not house trained or socialised. They are much better now but it is an on going thing.
oh gosh, that must have been hard work
It is but other than that they are very sweet boys. Thing they might have been abused too. The first time I picked up the leads to take the boys out George cowered in the corner of the sofa and would not look at me.
thats so sad :( poor darling!
I know. Broke my heart to see. He goes nuts now when he sees his lead. I went and got them new different colour ones as soon as I could.
They are totally different dogs now. They will bark at strangers then after about 5 mins will then go to say hi.
a
nbs and nbt
Loki does the same with strangers - he was bitten really badly by a collie when he was a year old and ever since then he always barks first (while wagging his tail!) before making friends
lol. Bless him. I have had Purl since she was 8 weeks old. She is a totally different dog. When she sees someone she pulls like mad to get to them. Her tail goes nuts and she will whimper to say hi. It is quite sweet. lol
I don't see why people think it is fine to abuse such a sweet animal. Makes me so mad. Alfie's best friend is my cat.
is there a clue for the co8 please?
I can't bear animal cruelty :(
Nor can I. I watch the programs and thI would kick some major ass and probs hit some oneey make me so angry. I could never do the jobs coz
Nor can I. I watch the programs and thI would kick some major ass and probs hit some one ey make me so angry. I could never do the jobs coz

I am just pleased the boys settled so fast.
Can anyone help with the bo8 please?
compound: bo4/6 + fi4/8
hello eveyone
hi nan
hi folks, I can't get the fi 8
FW ! - there are no fi8 bichon...

CO8 - anthracite + marine animal
TA8/9 combo - coccyx and pl.

I saw that anchors clue earlier, it's a good one
gotta go - happy babblings all and take care - "poof" - oh tks molly, hadn't seen it earlier, it just popped into my ageing brain... bye for now
co 9, pls
The person with the best experience qu9 (plural) for the job. Make it a co word
The person with the best credit score and the down payment qu9 for the loan. Make it a co word.
Very hard to find a definition for the CO9 anyone got one?
It has to do with vegetable matter becoming co4 of increasingly higher rank with anthracite being the final product. (co4 and anthracite are not the same thing)
Yeah that was the only one I could find in the merriam-webster.
It ended in cation though. ut I suppose it means the same thing.
But*
sorry - was called away for a few minutes - ty, mtl
Zoom, if it "ies" then the process is "cation"
ty zooz, Molly
Like magnifies and magnification
anyone got a clue for the sh6?
Woman's name, they use it in Australia a lot
ty!
Oh I do agree just wondered why there is that word the CO9 when I could not find any text examples using the word. they even ended in fy like magnify.
firebirds!
Congrats, Atalante!
Tsk, tsk Zoom. Haven't you learned by now that The Enable Word List includes the most obscure, hard to look up words on the planet? : D
Teehee you are not wrong, Molly :-)
ne 6/33, pls
Not old.
And not brand spanking either.
ty zooz
Phew. 4/5 of the first working week of 2016 done & dusted. it was not easy. Hi everybody :-)
Hello, soodle :-)
hi soodle
Off to bed for me. Happy babbling everyone!
ne 6/33 please?
good night zoom
sorta not old, nan...
ty pen
yw...
Will I want to be slapped with a fish when I find out what the e word is?
eg 4?
eg + to be conjunction
Someday, in the happy, sappy future, people will stop wanting to be "slapped with a fish" here and then they will just laugh that they missed an easy word. (Dreaming)
conjunction?...is there another e word?
Well, that's certainly not a word I use everyday, and when I do use it, it's with the five-letter spelling.
sorry - multitasking here --- eg + conjugation of to be
ah....ok....
Conjugate that conjunction, Pen. : D
:o)
should pay attention to what I'm doing!
been there, done that...
That gets me to NBT, thanks!
yw...
hi all. back for a few more.
pa 6 anyone?
sorry but i dont have it pen.
ty anyway...
pa6...like someone who looks wan
ty....
got that molly. good clue. ty.
i am done...
grats, pen
Zygi Wilf, the owner of the Minnesota Vikings, is in the grid.
ty...
ra 6 please?
slightly not cooked
when in doubt add that ending to any word.... ;o)
No, not really, just some words
I guess i'll never get over the "language" here. With some grids, people say "plural and past tense everything" which doesn't necessarily apply. The one that really makes me laugh is "thought I tried that". Well, if you did, wouldn't you already have the word? : D
HI all
hi...
thanks again -I think that's the 3rd time I've missed that suffix
i am heading out....got knitting to do....
Have a good evening
ty...you, too...bye all...

Hi there folks
Wrinkled, rankled, as long as you don't have cankles
hi ori
I don't even know what a cankle is
I know how to grab my ankles every April 15th though :D
:p
Cankle: An unattractive look on a woman, where her calfs run right into her ankles, with no definition.
Aka...beefy ankles
oh
It's so easy to kill the chat these days. Note to self: Mention cats, dogs or the weather.
well..
I imagine everyone is looking at their legs and seeing if they have cankles or not :D
have confirmed I am not quite there yet :D
I'm wondering if spankles is a word :D
Isn't that what guys do when they hug one another? I am hugging you but smacking you on the back at the same time :-)
well.. that could be :D
