Clues are up
oh, duh - find the hard one, miss the easy one
morning all :)
cooee my darling. how are you going today?
*hugs rose* Hello dear friend! Hanging in here, second heatwave going on. And busy. How are you and the Donster today?
huh !! he is so anti cleaning person he has said he will follow my instructions to the letter when cleaning etc. go figure..me? much, much better. left ankle is almost back to normal size. pain issues of course. don had his ears pinned by the gp when i told her i had 6-7/10 pain most days. she sort of wondered if i might need help around the house etc. you should have seen the look on his face.
so... you are making lists now, point by point by point, and give it another week. If not perfectly satisfactory, you get that cleaning person. One of you has to be the grownup in this and I have the feeling it might perhaps not be Don :D
good to hear you are feeling a bit better

hi Une *hug*
fireflies. I think I lost rose to a squirrel, lol. Bye all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night. *leaves hug in chog for rose to find*
sorry, sprite. neighbour called in and we have been chatting.
WTG SPRITE !!!! thanx for the hug and he4 comes one for you. xoxox
see you all at the next flip. xoxox
Hello
Hi Ruby, how are you feeling today?
Hi Ruby. How are you doing today?
Hi, you two
Things are much better today. Saw two doctors, together) and was greatly reassured that the new, horrible, pain has Nothing to do with the cancer, just a compromised nerve
Good news. And is the pain better controlled today?
They gave mepermission to take additional pain med when needed
Good.
They are much more relaxed about opioids here
Pain docs here are too. Primary care docs are closely monitored by the DEA.
It's hard to imagine taking oxy for fun
Hah. Tens of thousands of people get addicted then advance to heroin and fentanyl.
Personally I learned to dislike opioids after my 5 abd/pelvic operations. No high. Just nausea and dizziness.
They've given me fentanyl, too,
The only things that nauseate me are foods
Are you maintaining your weight?
No. I can't get above 90 lbs. I should weigh 100
Eat high-calorie, dense foods. Peanut butter. Smoothies. Ice cream.
Yesterday, a friend came back from Morroco and brought me 6 different kinds of olives.
Allergic to all nuts but have two pints of Haagen Daaz (sp?) a week
and, occasionally pate and chutney sandwiches
Good. Get that fat into you.
Meat here is not Worth eating, fish, too. I'm s^poiled having lived most of my previous life in coastal cities.
Even Binghamton had better food
I think it's nap time, see you later
Sleep well.
el8 x 3
phew. just found the bottom N. nbt and nbs - 68 to go!
gotta go to work:(
Hi all! May I please have stats for the lone N in the fourth row, fourth column?
I think its no 5/10
whoo hoo found the 9 all on my own. morning all
actually it's ne4/5
very hard to tell with 3 N's in the same column
ty dan
ooh, I just found the 9 all on my own too!
cr 6/27, pls
cradle or nativity scene, bichon
a nursery
ty mael, dan
my baby started kindergarten today, sob
congrats mael!
awww
well, I lie, my baby baby is still in preschool and mad that he doesn't get to ride the bus with his sister
well, the older one is still your baby too
but I can't figure out how she got to kindergarten so fast
she is my baby, I blinked and she turned 5
believe me, it gets worse. mine just started college but I remember him starting kindergarten like it was yesterday
I can't even imagine!
having a really hard time trying to let him live his own life
miss2bit is in her first week of 4th. it doesn't slow down
but the fashion angst changes, and the friend drama
Something happens to time when you have children, it definitely speeds up.
will your daughter do full days or do they start them on half days, meal?
thank you autocorrect for changing mael
I am glad with boys I missed out on fashion and friend drama
Yes, clothes shopping with girls can be...interesting.
full days, thankfully
she's been going to daycare since she was a baby so it's not a new thing. The clothes are already something and she's only 5. The other girls at pre-K convinced her that girls only wear skirts or leggins so it's been a fight getting her dressed in the morning if it's cold enough for pants
Frustrating when you want her to be warm.
I am stumped on one of the cr6/21's - between the Caribbean word and the old women.
when my friend's daughter was younger I remember her saying girls were making fun because she didn't have a brand name water bottle. well, she actually did have a brand name water bottle but it was different than the one they deemed cool. I was like WTF.
the old women is the only one I have, sorry
got it! ends with sun prefix. that's firewords for me
if it makes you feel better, mael, my boys wore shorts all through elem. school. boys just didn't wear long pants. if it was super cold I'd make them watch for the bus and then run to it.
well done, dan
I feel like we always pronounced that word with an extra o in the middle for 3 syllables.
nm, I'm thinking of a different version of the word that ends in t sound
The smelly paint stuff?
smelly railroad stuff
maybe related to paint, I'm not sure
I think it's used to cover railway sleepers, rough fences etc. Definitely not suitable for indoor use!
nope
what are railway sleepers in UK, just curious? here they put it on railroad ties to keep them from rotting I think.
They're the wooden things under the actual rails, I think.
People use them here for hard landscaping in gardens as well.
okay, same thing as railroad ties here. my mom has some at her house for landscaping.
wiki has both those names plus a couple more, so we are talking about the same thing
Yes, they must be standard garden fare now.
hello
Hello, MLF.
howdy
hi hokie
hi haz
hi folks
hi welk
'sup
And welki, hello.
I appear to be stuck with 70 left
congrats hokie I am just starting
lots of odd words ending in 'ry' today
good to know. I guess one of them is the irritable odd spelling that's here a lot?
I immediately start to check if I have any.
I had some y ending words but not ry
I still don't have any top e 3rd col or 4th col r
hokie what are the stats for that word?
just found one of the r
on 5/14 mlfan
ty
just found the other r, now I just need that e
third column hokie?
yes
i don't have anything from either of them
oh, there's another ry
to build for the e
i have that word alreadyo
already
I have er5/12 to build but it's not from that one
correct
have you got the re with it?
yes
ty
i also need the lone n the one above the s on 4th column?
geeese

ne4/5
kall stats?
wrong n sorry
I'm stuggling today,
kall i don't think its you:)
not finding it
I meant I'm having a lot of pain from ankle, but also this is hard now....60 left
What happened your ankle, Kallia?
it's a tropical tree or something. did you see my ne 4/5?not a lot of options with that point total.
yeah hard to concentrate on much when you are in pain
yep I have that one carla
I am also at 60 left. sorry to hear about your ankle.
I broke it
stupidly, no shoes, toes caught on step, I fell but toes stayed
found the n
still cant find anything for those e's
ugh
Eeek. Poor ankle. Poor you.
In plaster or in one of those boots?
a boot
They're not the prettiest, but better than hopping round on crutches.
true
i greyed the 2nd column e:)
but I cant seem to get a happy medium with it...either too loose so foot moves, or too tight so it hurts even more
oh agree with the crutches
That's a nuisance for you.
okay, work on the 3rd col e, mlfan ;-)
hopefully you'll get it just right, kallia
yep, could be worse, it will mend !
hokie i don't have either
but i looked at lickety and one is el 9
Hope it heals quickly, Kallia.
no, I have el9
it's not from that
thanks Haz
phantom: sorcerer
it should come from the bottom e?
I have to go, will be back later. Happy babbling to all.
el9 is from bottom e, I need upper one 3rd col
have a good day, haz
consultant says 6 wks for boot, plus about 6 months before I forget it happened lol
i need both
yes i know where it comes from... can you clue it pls?:)
I have 5/7 on the bottom
i have el 5/12 from that e
el 5/7/8 are related to day in Nov, el8/9 is related to science
ty got the el 8
another el7 and 8 that are like your science word but without final consonant
one from upper third column is en4/4. Still looking for the other
thx, vicuna. done with that square!
good grief, could not see that en4, that's a common one here
stll no idea on that en word
ohhhhh geez got it
i have the el 5 and 8 but no 7?
Aha! en8/45 - to put a spell on someone (related to your phantom)
mlf....ends in double vowel
okay duh ty
hmm, all I can think is enchant. will keep trying, thanks.
yw
Think of the Apprentice played by Mickey Mouse. Make that into a verb, with en in front
vic which e?
yeah, I scrolled down and saw the phantom and am going along that line
Third column upper e, MLFAN.
got it, thx
strange word
now to work on all these c's
I think you should try to use it in conversation some time today, carla. =)
challenge accepted
she wasn't just bewitched she was en8-led
Sounds like ruru's accepting the challenge, too.
i kind of have the word in my head bkut its not exact in grid
is that your attempt, ru? you just made a sentence, didn't work it into the convo. ;-)
minnie mouse was en8'd by mickey's costume
and his wand
there you go hokie :D
i was thinking magic
It ends with one square of the animation film (to tie in with the Mickey Mouse theme.) Or one unit of biology, like an amoeba, but without the double consonant.
No, ruru, it has to be outside, in your non-Babble life.
yes
oh that's super easy then
does it end in sometimes vowel?
nope
Or the first three of the best instrument in the world, which is larger than a viola but smaller than a bass.
got it
ty al for that and to moroewords
will be back...
how many do you have left, ru? I want to go to list but am always inspired by how many you find sans list.
i just started so i'm down to forty left
LOL, I still have 54 left
i didn't take a break in babble like you did carla
i do this everyday
I did take quite a few years off. I need to see when my profile pic was because I quit after that I think.
it's hard to restart for some people...but you can get it back
i'm down to 25 now
I am holding an Olympic medal in that pic, so I think it was 2012.
I also keep chatting instead of looking for words. :D
you won an olympic medal?
I wish, no I was at a tennis tournament in Cincinnati and met the Bryan Bros, who had just won the medals like the week before. whichever one I'm standing next to asked if I wanted to hold it, and I was like, yeah!
and the woman next to me was trying to get her hands on it and I was like, back off
Hate these C's. Can hardly get any! Clues for the more obscure please?
I still have 9 left, Gadget. Hating them too.
that's cool.. those two guys are amazing
yeah, they were super nice
i wish we had more famous people playing this game.. so far just a wacky English comedian and a brother of a rock star :D
oh? I didn't know of these.
both troublemakers in their way.. best not to know
haha.
oh.. i forgot.. Taylor Swift played for a while.. you missed that too
well, I keep repeating words, so I'm going to the list with 50 left.
dang, hate I missed that. how do you know it was really her?
whomever she was she pretended she was Taylor Swift
if soodle's daughter was following her i would believe it was the real thing :D
well so far the list isn't helping at all with the c's. I guess these are weird words.
found my last s finally
maybe she wished she were Taylor Swift
yes.. likely.. i'd imagine a lot of girls would like to be Taylor Swift
hokie I only have 4
c's? I still need 6, but I moved on.
lol probably a good idea but do you really want them to be your last words in this grid?
no, but if I come back to them later I'm more likely to see them
i need six c's too
probably the same ones
I need 3 from top and 3 from other
.. just got my last h.. down to six now
hmm, I know half of the letters in no8 and still don't see it. I should prob eat breakfast. TTFN

1 more c to go! I told mlfan if I took a break they'd be easier to see when I came back (had 6 c's left).

Congrats!!

lol, I didn't see it but now do. (celery)
he7 is related to he5/12
def is a place where they breed, but it is similar to a word about falcons
but it's the first word
similar endings that is
whoops, there are 2 and I gave you the 2nd
hmm, don't have the he 5/12
the first one is also bird related, but this one is poultry
you might call a place where eggs are collected a he7
ty carla
does it start out with a poultry?
lol carla. thanks for that one
I have a he 5/6
which one do you want, mlfan?
the he 5/6 sint related to the he7 correct?
there is an he5/7/6 all related to long legged bird
its also 'the fellow that married the widow next door'
there is he7and he4 related to the poultry.
and then boy's name + bad plural (in my mind) :D he5/6 and I think deeha is referencing
and there are lots more he's as well
hokie the 5/6 the 6 is pl?
the boys name, yes, but there are more 5's and 6's
of course lol
i have those too
i hve the bird ending in n
ok, the 2nd 7 is related to that
and then the 6 is pl
have the 5 and 6 birds
but not a 7?
the 7 ends in the last 3 letters of the male name
Thank you for the 'widow next door' clue - not only a belly laugh but now the song will be stuck in my head for about a week!
finally got it thank you both
")
glad we could help you that much carol:D
I am not familiar with the widow next door song. guess I need to look it up.
whats that called Carole? An earworm!!
just realized temp is back in the 80s here for the first time in days. back to NC summer! 90 again by the weekend.
it was the widder that had been married seven times before!!
oh, I think I know the song then
She wouldn't take a Willy or a Sam!
thats the girl!!
I don't think I ever heard the full lyrics to get the gist of it.
you havent missed a lot carla
this was an english group, right?
a victorian or edwardian music hall song
but didn't someone record it in like the 60s?
But done by a British group in the 60's - Herman's Hermits if I'm not mistaken.
we could be back to Lonnie Donegan but not sure he did. Heres a name to conjure with that few people here will have heard of-Chas and Dave??!!
wonder who decided which ending words had - either er like teacher or or like donor
okay I am hoping for an Indian Summer at least for a while
hokie sheesh sorry
Today is a beautiful day here. It's about 25 with no humidity and very few clouds in the sky.
we have had a very hot few days but forecast says back to normal british summer tomorrow -cool and wet
It's not Indian Summer yet. First sunny,warm day after a hard frost
fun ;heehaw!
It is supposed to rain later.
sukee we are supposed to get rain here in nc today
down to 50-save some for later. Good luck folks
90 here with heat index of 102 and more rain showers expected just to raise the humidity to sauna level, lol.
ughh amel
Had a panic earlier, the cat got a plastic bag around his middle and freaked out a bit. I finally managed to catch him and take it off.
Our summer has pretty much brken here in CT. Maybe some hot days in Sept, but no more humidity
yeah they love to play with bags much better if it were paper though
I hope our humidity is over.
I just put the bag down near him for a second :)
cats are curious remember that sukee:0
)
phantom: onesy
i am just sitting here typing words hoping something works at this point
cani get a clue for the 9 pls?
pl of one of the el8s
found another el8
i will be back
el 7/8/7/8/9/8
still very humid here. my son had a soccer game last night and kids were cramping left and right, and it was only 73 degrees.
fw. Any other clues needed?
I can relate, Carla, lol. I need to get a barometer so I can teach my g-kids to use. Low priority but one never knows... We made a trip up to NC and I picked up maps from every state hoping I could get them to learn how to read one. Fat chance! "MawMaw, we can just use Waze or Google maps!" *my eyes were rolling to the back of my head*
We're currently under a heat advisory until around twilight... expected heat index 106-110 this afternoon.
ironic. my last word was to 6/24, Mr Bono is in the grid and the to 6/24 could be a missive meant for his ex wife.
elmer
sorry -wrong box!
Hiyas, kids! Busy morning. First chance to Babble. Stupid work!
yes, work does get in the way of babbling.
18 left. BBL.
rain. an they're doing the roof. Wee.
Better them than you, seain.
true that.
and thunder now.
we had a 60% chance of storms in the 3 oclock hour. I was surprised they came today with that forecast.
I"m not going to say anything about the weather because I'm leaving work in about 15 minutes.
Afraid to jinx myself.
Anyone want to share a clue for the En8?
Never mind. I monkied it.
so 5/14, pls
Pet name for male offspring.

Glad to help!
ha - bewitch yesterday and en 8 today!
Magic is in the air : D
to 6 please?
nm - got it
*!*~*!* hagd everyone :)
Drawing a blank on en 8.
en8 is a word that starts with en then adds the first part of a male magic person but ends differently. The last part is like a word that comes before phone (your mobile device) without the last letter
Crappy, complicated clue. Sorry
Male magic person, the so7 apprentice
Well, I think I have the ending :)
LOL I was trying to fit "Mike" into that word because Magic Mike
Ah, got it.
The apprentice did it.
TY
That is a new word for me
Lil*monkey's mind is on a "different" magic : D
lol
Time for a break.
