whew, a small wild animal just got up on the deck outside the office and knocked a plantpot off the railing - scared the heart out of me
think I'll go back to bed and finish this in the morning
Hope you are okay, Flosey. That would of made me jump too if that had happened here.
at 4: am, the noise was quite a shock
I can imagine!
I am down to 59 words but for some reason finding this grid hard.
thanks Zooz for your concern. so good night again, I'll finish in the morning
Sounds silly but hope the plant is okay.
64 for tomorrow
Take care, Flosey. Sweet dreams.
it was one of those long wooden planters that one sets on the railing!!

Hello luv

It will be worth it. You will have a great time!
Oh my goodness! Your camp counselor name is in the grid <3

I also need stats for the second H in that 4th column as well. I have the hi 4/8
I think hi 6/27
and thanks for the hi 4/8
yup, thats it
Got it, tyvm
sigh.....blissful first period comes to an end. off to the DREADED sevvies now
Hang tough...long weekend ahead
Clue please for the AN 7/40? Does it go with the 6 before it?
an7 - strange bird like a cormorant. an + what lets a door swing, but change last letter
thanks Vicuna
My pleasure.
happy friday all
tyvm! Will that be in the next alphabet book?!?!?!
Happy Friday
lol. The next alphabet book is to be all mythical creatures. A is aspidochelone. =)
Hello, mooling!
Oh! Very cool! I want one!
I did share with you how much my mom with Alzheimer's loves that book, right? It went with her to the Alzheimer's home she is in
She would look at it for hours
It's still only in early stages, so it'll be a while. But thanks for the vote of confidence!
No, I don't think i heard that about your mother. Thanks so much. Alzheimers can be so cruel, so I'm honored to have been able to be part of easing it even just a little.
hey vic, car...apologies, had to get on a conference call
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner! It really is one of her favorites. We would sit and go through the letters or just look at the pictures. Somedays it is just one or two letters but she loves it
Hmmm...now I am thimking I should order a few copies for the residents....
Ha ha - you should definitely apologize for letting work intrude on Babble, mool. ;)
I never thought of that when I was making it - I was thinking of children, of course. But one of my goals was for it to be flexible enough to appeal to a wide age range, and I guess it makes sense that some of the same things that appeal to children of various ages would appeal to Alzheimers patients at various stages. Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention.
yeah, I know...it's really awful
Ok, I put some in my Amazon cart so I will remember to order them.
=) I'm all verklempt! (Seriously.)
hello all
:)
Hello
Hello, MLFAN.
e stats pls?
"What do you mean the one without the ga6? They all have the ga6. It's a standard British bird!"
Or something to that effect . . .
hello vicuna
en 4/4 & en 6/18
lone
whoops
ty car
nbt
lol, Jen
:)
Not all grids have the ga6.
;)
LOL
are you talking about ga 6/24?
Yes.
Yes, it's from a great Monty Python sketch called "The Bookshop."
thought so
The an7, on the other hand, is not a standard British bird.
my favorite one
ah, ty, vi! Didn't have that one.
vicuna clue the an7 pls?
oh, and there's lo4. Lots of birds.
All water birds, too, looks like.
Coincidence? Or Conspiracy???
lol
i think the grid is trying to flock with us
You're just being feather-brained.
no.. just winging it here
I do that with every grid ruru lol
It's just beak-cause we're paranoid
Don't be so flighty.
is the word for a tumor starting with b a be or a ba word?
I got it never mind
oh and your welcome if you figure it out
I never thought ruru would sparrow us the bad puns! He must be feeling owl-fully low.
And now I must fly. Bye, all.
I have to go too will be back..
step away for a mo' and missed another pun fest! that'll teach me to eat breakie away from the computer
LOL, thank you for a much-needed chuckle this morning. Will come back later!!!
FW. I'm off. Have a great day everyone. Again, thank you to all who have served.
an 7/40, pls
earlier clued - an+the part that allows a door to swing - change the last vowel
ty, the bird
well done bichon - I had no idea what it was until someone said a bird :)
Saw lots of them in Florida
ty for the an7
bichon are they white birds with black on their wings?
no, black with some white
ohh ok, I guess I was thinking they were like seagulls but that would be the right color that I mentioned for them I guess. have a friend in florida whose wife feeds them when they are on the beach
they have a giant wing span when drying in the sun and the white lace look on the wings is really special to see
lo6?
Good morning, y'all.
fw and wow, really had to work on this one
ri8.....clue pleae
please
pasta
** finito ** last word RI 7 / 36 so not a word

ty blah

Ty for the RI8 clue. My stomach should have seen that.
I see the dead Russian guy is in the grid again.
Banana, dammit!
Wow. This grid is really annoying the sh*t out of me. Too much like a chore.
I"m out. 30 left and frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn.
if you put in every babblet you can think of.. you knock off most of the grid
judi i share your feelings most days. my goal is to get more than half.
Nene...darn...anoa...darn...tenrec...d\narn
I see we still have the /n problem
or 6/24, pls
sounds like a keyboard instrument with an extra vowel in the middle
sorry, don't understand
perhaps an instrument found in a cathedral
with an extra vowel in the middle
ty mool!!
yw jen
I still don't get it. Help, pls
paper folding, minus the last two letters...then add a different letter
finally, tysm
np, figured we get there eventually :)
probably helps that my dad actually plays that instrument -- was already in my brain
that would no doubt be of assistance :)
ri 7/36, pls
kind of like a bell pealing, but lose the 1st G. odd word
ty blah
yw
Ooooh, paper folding :D
heh
there's the Japanese for "thank you," but it's not a word apparently
nothing like creasing the wheels
origanate
sorry
anyway it's not a word :-)
Take away the PT of consume food and it will be :-)

The more the merrier, NatashaW :-)

I'm still upset with myself that I didn't see it w/o a clue. I'm from RI and all we eat there is pasta shapes.
really natasha. I hve Italian blood and I should have seen that word too
i keep seeing orange
Take away the E and you are there, Mlf :-)
might as well as I am in t he PB :-)
ty again zooz had no idea that would work
lol zooz thought they'd have let you out by now but you just earned another stint
Hey why would I want to leave the PB..They have chocolates and drinks and everything in here!
but if you eat too much of it you will have Pooh's dilemma
i was wondering zooz
lol
i haven't looked at the list much so i am just trying words

Toilet + gerund
ty zooz

hi mool
happy friday ml...hope your day is going well
you too mool
Hello, Mool.
hey zoo, how are things in ol' blighty?
Not too bad thanks.How about your side of the pond?
We have british weather here today
ruru assume you mean the wet kind?
Oh dear, Ru! Hope you have an umbrella!
Overcast windy and wet
Ugh. It is a holiday weekend dang it
One day out of 365 can not be too bad though :-)
well it's over 30C and sunny today
We have had a lot of rain
well at the moment it's around 26.....but heading to 31
Nice, Mool...it has been sunny here with temps around 21c
could be a couple of degrees warmer tomorrow
always a good day when it's sunny in the UK in late spring
Ha! We will take this as our Summer as there will not be much more sunny weather here lol
indeed :)
Glorious day here. Sunny, 86 degrees and early dismissal from work. It doesn't get much better than that. : )
Nice one, Molly! Enjoy :-)
ig
No ig words but keep trying
*Wonders how many people didn't get the toilet + gerund clue. Some of us Americans are not hip to British terms
stunning omission from the dictionary - Moroccan stew, or the unique clay dish it's cooked in.
not to mention the Italian sandwich offered in every lunch menu!
The Enable Word List makers are more interested in lesser known mammals from alias countries and foreign currency
It's just weird they have this extremely obscure archaic Italian term for a Turkish bath, but not the common hot sandwich at my local deli.
But never mind... 32 obscure babblets to go!
I feel like I've never played this game before. It really isn't as difficult as I have made it. 1 left hi 6/27. Help please?
nm Done
congrats gramma!
hello 125 to go
what are the stats for the single o please?
Apparently "babblet" is an obscure term for obscure words. I have never gotten why that term is so popular here. Ditto "monkeys".
or 6/18 I think
tenor
oops - and off to the pb I go
think zooz ate up all the chocolate in the pb already
the supply is endless
Good choice. There is watermelon, appetizers and cool summer drinks in the PB in honor of the holiday weekend.
really?! I'm moving in
And endless supply of chocolate (not choclit) in the PB. We must not be deprived.
hello all
happy national wine day!
ae 4/4?
nvm
ai 6/24?
there are a ton of gerunds on this grid, and this is one of them
FW! enjoy your weekend everyone!
Gerund, gerund, gerund.
AN 7 PLS? just cannot see it
ty anyway , found it and time to be on my way.
an+ consonant + that ever present gerund + vowel
Molly, babblet is popular here because it was invented here. It basically means a word only found in Babble. Monkeys, I think, refers to the story of if there were enough monkeys pounding on keyboards they would eventually produce a book. I could be wrong about that though.
at
I get the "babblet" and "monkey" thing. Terms that were invented years ago.
isn't that animal abuse?
I think the "monkey" thing was invented because people didn't want to say they were just randomly entering chains of letters in hope that it would provide a word.
Is there something wrong with that?
ba 6/30, pls
same as the 7 after it. remove one of the double consonants
sorry, need the first one
oops, sorry! don't have that one yet.
that's okay
ba6/30 - start with a sack and end with the first 3 of element number 41, or a weeping figure from Greek mythology
sack + anagram for charged particle
ty, word not found anyhere but More Words
down to 2 left
pa 6/24, pls
an outcast bichon
ty montreal, fw
wd bichon !
Nope,nothing wrong with whatever way you find your words. Or whatever you call it.
*Puts comfy pillows in the PB
Good evening all. Half an hour ago, the polls closed on a a monumental referendum in this country:- Whether to repeal the ban on abortions or not. As the mother of 2 girls, I voted to repeal the ban, but it has been a very unpleasant debate. Early indications are showing that vote may be going in favour of repealing the ban. First country in Europe to approve of same-sex marriages - Our Prime Minister is mixed-race & homosexual, now looking like we will allow abortion! Ireland is joining the 21st centuary!
good evening soodle !
Hey Mont :-)

Hi scrabs :)
Yay Liz! Hi Kate.
ginally some nice weather in
Good evening!
western NY and S. Ontario :D
Hi nef :)
Hi Kate!
Haven't seen you in a while... happy Memorial Day weekend!
It's very hot & humid here; just started the past 2 days
Yes, it feels like summer finally.
we have warmth, but no humidity (thank goodness!) rain due in the next couple of days... ugh!
I was out of town at a state convention; plus the planning for a huge family reunion next month (I'm the one doing the contacting & mailings
Hi folks
That will all be worthit in the end Nef, even though it's a lot of work. How was the convention? Willl the reunion be in your town?
It literally dumped buckets of rain last night without much warning; I still don't know how much rain we got, however
Hi origami and nef
Hi origami :) We got 3-4 days of buckets (mostly at night... yard is *almost* dry enough to go out on the lawn now. Haven't even planted the veggies yet.
Recovered fro m all the hiking scrabs?
Yes, finally. I did a 40 minute hike today and felt fine. No more sore muscles.
Hi Scrabs (Sorry, I'm distracted by a TV show right now)
Time to shower and go to bed. I am selling my art at the farmers market every Saturday now from 8:30-1. See you tomorrow.
Do you have new pictures on your FB page scrabs?
Yes, I do. I put them up each day after we finished hiking.
I stood on my injured foot for 28 seconds today. (Not wanting to be out-done by Scrabbler....)
What happened to your foot?
I mean of your art Scrabs
I broke my ankle skiing on St. Patrick's Day.
I will put 2 new projects on FB now, origami.
And how did it go, Harp?
Oh, Jane, I broke my ankle 21 months ago when hiking on a mountain. OUCH!
Well, 28 seconds was a long time. Every time I get cocky about my progress, my physical therapist gives me something harder to do.
LOL! That's their job, Jane! :-)
Did you need surgery?
How is your ankle doing, Scrabbs? I see you are hiking!
Yes, the broken bone--lower fibula--needed a plate and some screws.
What about you scrabbs?
I still have some achiness occasionally. I suspect my ankle will never be 100%. All the soft tissue was trained and sprain too, as an ankle injury is rarely just a fracture.
I had a Weber A fracture which healed in 8 weeks so I did not need surgery.
*strained and sprained
Jane, it will be months before you feel steady and can trust your ankle. I still fear re-injury.
The most unnerving part is over for me now. I am out of the cast and I can bear weight.
Good. Just make slow and steady progress. I wore a brace for a year, with skiing and hiking, then decided to go without it. I just hiked 50+ miles on the AT without problems.
Will the hardware be removed someday or stay in?
Just be sure to do the exercises that the PT tells you!
I'm pretty good about that. I just incorporate them into my workout routine. I got really out of shape after an injury a few years ago and vowed never to let that happen.
The hardware will probably stay in unless there are problems. Other than new ski boots, it shouldn't make much difference.
get stronger and work on balance. Aw, geez, I feel terrible for you. The pain was SO bad that I almost fainted and puked.
googling Weber A fracture.
I had to ski out, spend the night in a cabin, and then ski another half mile to get to the ER.
Fibular fracture, but stable and typically not requiring surgery.
You were cross-country skiing?
The thing about ankle fractures is that you need to maintain as much range of motion (ROM) as possible so you don't develop foot drop (which - unfortunately happens and can trip you up the rest of your life.)
I have always thought that ankles are poorly evolved for bipeds--such unstable joints that easily get twisted.
Yes, they are. My hubby sprained his ankle nearly 30 years ago; and he did develop a mild foot drop. Which now causes him to trip on sidewalk cracks when he's tired. :-/
Not good.
Just looked it up. That looks like the type of fracture I had, Weber A, except it was splintered and needed surgery.
Ow, ow, ow.
true, Scrabs. And I've seen several others who have had the same problem years later.
I experienced the foot drop thing today as I was walking up a slight incline. I was looking at the nice window display instead of my feet.
:-(
Jane, you were cross-country skiing?
My biggest challenge right now is something I can't do much about--edema. It is gradually improving, but I have to do my exercises early in the morning in order to get the benefit. By evening I can't get any sort of calf stretch at all because that requires bending the ankle.
Yes, cross-country skiing. Not steep or anything. Just a moment of inattention and a gravity problem.
Did you have much edema Scrabbs?
I got a concussion when cross-country skiing 4 years ago, took a header when going down a hill.
Oh, yes, jane, for a few months. And the bruising lasted so long too.
It sucks to be on the disabled list.
Harp, you need to do some very active knee and hip movements first thing in the morning; then do your exercises, then do a very Gentle type of massage called effleurage
I will keep checking on you, Jane. Do your exercises every day and slowly you will notice improvement.
It does suck to be disabled for even a short while
And now I must get to bed.
Good night, Scrabs. Sleep well.
Gross ..
oh, tor, don't be so sensitive
gees, tor came to the party .....
effleurage is really cool!
Here's what I noticed about disability--both with the knee scooter/cast, and now with the cane/crutch. Either you are completely invisible to people, or you get total overkill, with people wanting to wait on you hand and foot.....
One gross of words ..
me too tor
it will help, harp; but in order for it to be really effective, you have to wake up the blood flow between it an the heart
Oh Geez! I thought you were grossed out by the chat, tor! :-)
Ha Tor
I've just ordered a bolster so I can elevate and we can return our cushions to their rightful place in the living room.
Good idea, harp. Get things back to normal
I got a digital antennae so I can watch Jeopardy and the signal is going all wonky :-(
i love jeopardy!
The current champ has won a lot of moola
I missed it today, did he win again?
Still going here - but antennae is whacking out.
<--Laughing at Tor : D
Good evening all. May I please have a clue for an7-40? Thanks
I'm looking gapeach
Thanks harp.
an7 add what makes a door open and close, with a different last letter
Thanks so much, harp.
good clue harp
plagarized from Vicuna in the blog
ahhh, vi is a smart cookie :) not that you're not also a smart cookie :)
done!
Does anyone want clues?
Oh, yes, thanks, harp.....I need ro6-18 please
RO 6/18 ends like a concrete "tube" you drive through
Thanks, Kate, looking.
+ double consonant + bui;ding annex/extension alt clue
Oh, yes, thanks so much, Kate.
