li 9/60, tr 9/66, tr 9/54
tr 9/54: agreements with native tribes that we rarely lived up to
no, that's tr8
tr9/54 is like essays that people write on specific topics
oh yes - right you are hurshy
li 9 - letter by letter
hello everyone i just got back from school :)
een babble has been politicized. wow.
hi all do not see li8 or li9
hello bear
what do you mean, TO?
how is that, to?
clue for tr 9.
it's just a fact
oh - you mean the one that was actually for a tr 8?
yes but not relevant to game. sorry for having my opinionn - and getting stats wrong.
tins
sorry
help with li8 or li9 pls
it was me that got the stats wrong
back to playing without chog, which is where i am usually thiese days.
clues don't have anything to do with the game a lot of the time, we just clue examples from wherever we happen to think of them.
if a clue involved the boston tea party would that be political?
my bad for voicing my opinion. one cannot do that anymore without someone pointing out that you are ...wrong, ignorant, bigoted, racist, etc etc etc
TO, debating the point doesn't mean you weren't supposed to voice your opinion, it just means i believe people are allowed to discuss things and try to make persuasive arguments about what they believe. i didn't call you any of those things.
sorry - I just happen to think there was a good "white man" was called "two-faced" and that it is a part of our history not to be proud of
*good reason
does anyone have a clue for one of the h's in the top right
I have very little patience with anyone who lies or does not live up to their word.
to answer my own question, since the boston tea party was explicitly a political act, then a clue that referred to it could be considered political. but nobody would care because it seems to be something in the past whose results are settled and about which nobody seems to have any ongoing bad feelings.
That white americans rarely held up their end of the bargain with native americans is not political, it's the truth.
yes mummy bear, in golf you hope to get a ho4-in-one!
it's a political AND it's the truth.
not getting the li9 even with the clue
i think the problem isn't that it's political, as the boston tea party example shows. it's that it is a truth that makes some people uncomfortable to think about.
same here, peri
calling things political is an easy way to ignore the feelings they invoke, like shame
right which is why i think we should define more precisely what we are actually saying.
i will refrain from taking the bait and exit.
i could see where some people would not want babble to be a place where they experience strong negative emotions, because it is a game, maybe an escape.
li 9 begins with a metric measurement (usa sp) + preposition + latin ending
it's not bait, TO! it's a discussion!
I don't mean to bait. I think we should all examine why we don't feel like we can engage in certain subjects in good faith
i do not want a discussion. i just want a peaceful haven
oh my goodness - didn't mean to start an argument with my clue
you're the one who brought up politics, TO
personally, i find that experiencing uncomfortable emotions is just a valuable part of the human experience. but there have been times when i've seen people engaging in heated arguments in chat where i was NOT in the mood for dealing with that. so, i might decide to not chat or even turn off the chog for a bit, but, not because i don't people should be talking that way, but just cause it's not for me at that moment.
I agree, hurshy
what do you want me to do, mael? i have stated i am wrong to wvoice my opinion. i don't wven really know you. this is why i do not usually do so.
thanks hurshy for the clue
but that doesn't make me think that i need to stay away from the chog all the time or most of the time, so i hope you won't think that either, TO.
this is so out of hand.
TO, i think the problem we have is that we DON'T agree that you were wrong to voice your opinion. at least that's how i feel.
you could have ignored the clue if it bothered you: calling it politicized was a statement you made, which you were free to make! but then people should be free to engage with that.
bloofy hell
cnan, your li9 clue got me an 8 not a 9 ... did i use the wrong preposition?
again, you don't have to engage! but saying you don't want to deal with anything "political" is not not engaging
a two letter preposition
well, this shoudl give the busibodies something to talk about.
nan it got me anli8 too but not the li9
ok so the metric measure is 5, the prep is 2, the latin ending is 1, that makes 8
oi try this: measurement + article + Mr. Horton
ahhhhhhhhh yay thanks!
ah never would have thought of that ending. ty nan for li9
instead of asking what bloofy means cause this is the wrong time in an argument ill use google dictionary
alas, I know no Mr. Hortons!
mummy bear, you won't find it in the dictionary, it's a typo. lol
mael it's a restaurant in canada, you can google
ohhh, I got it
oh
canadian hockey player and donut shop
wait, that's canadian coffee isn't it?
i just searched and it didnt come up and i was confused
and many people like coffee with their donuts yes
:D
I am little kids, so Horton is an elephant as far as I'm concerned
I like their fruit explosion muffins
who hears a who
alright, bye all! I need to go to the grocery store before my afternoon meetings :)
ttfn mael
mael, the last three of the li9 is the first three of what a clock tells

ea7/36.....clue please
something you can put in your mouth aeb
ty....thought I had already tried that.
so many 7s end with that ab word
Many 8's as well.
surely it should be edible
English teacher would have had a wobbly if we used ea7
lol, english is weird. enable english is even weirder.
edible is adj
ea7 is noun
"what do we have in the way of ea8?" one might say
it's just not commonly used these days. i don't like english teachers who wobble out of ignorance. :)
haha Hurshy - would have been a nun who wobbled
now i'm picturing nun weebles
One did not argue with Sister Whoever 50 years ago
how come sometimes when you're sick, you feel like you have a fever even when you really don't?

something you can put in your mouth?

clever, there is not a rotate
I don't know of any way to flip the puzzle
but welcome to the game. Hope you find it fun
thanks, didn't think so but wasn't sure. I've played one similar where you could do that.
it helps, to see the same board from different positions
agreed
sometimes here it just helps to walk away and come back. You bring a different eye.
true! a break often helps
ai7 clue? P&TY
sorry hokie, just beginning

hi all.help with fi8. if it relates to the fiy before It I do not have that one
sounds like an archer but with a different vowel
hmm, not getting your clue
it starts with the first 4 of the one above . .
and I am a lousy cluer... end with not him but *** with a consonant inbetween
I do not have the fi7. will keep looking. ty
down to 74 left with the list but getting tedious,may not finish
peri I was clueing FL, did you want FI ? My eyesight is fading
FI8 is what I need please

abbreviations for 2 types of school
is the ar 8 a compound word?
this grid is making me feel very inadequate. 210/357 still left and I'm running out of ideas. May have to resort to the list soon
i had to list at 97 left to find....first run through the list and I still have 7 left to find...
... not to worry ... lots of people have listed at between 100 and 150 left ... ... it's a fairly tough one today and it's so big that it's hard to see what you've typed and what might be left
86 here and thinking of listing
is ar 8 a compound word?
... nope .... blood vessels running away from the heart
no.. but it won't be in vein to find it
That word, and how it is laid out, is why this grid is so hard.
agreed....ty, dose...
Your eyes just don't find words that way.
sure they do.. if you're drunk
hahaha
help with the 4 column I
you should scratch at it toady
... openning for light into your eye ... or ... a flower .... and then two of them
last fe 6/27?
yep feeling dumb... oh well,

... progress is being made
no progress here....stuck with 5 left... :o(
i'm going for a walk with the doggie
have fun....
... what are you looking for ... just in case I have it ... or find it
well i asked about fe 6/27, the last one....
... looks very Spencerian but it's an even odder spelling of an old word dealing with fairies
... it's that a penalty box situation when you put the word in the log but you use a different spelling that the one in the grid?
... fe + to make someone angry or the state of having one's anger raised ... with an extra vowel thrown in
got it...tyvm....
i was hoping that the fe 7 would flow from the fe 6....
The penalty box is pretty much ancient history. Clues are not what they used to be.
... nope ... ... to have sstumbled ( or most of it) + a location of something or anything
found the fe 7....
ty dose...
... most welcome
speak for yourself, I often sneak into the penalty box to hide, and just munch away on some snacks while gleaning clues and gossip... ;)
it's a great lurking spot. :D
agreed....nice spot for a drink...
ch 7 anyone?
just like the six before it, just add a vowel
to the end pen
ty, nancy....

i am done.....thank goodness!

There is also the weirdly spelled Tinker Bell word that is Scot for who knows what.
there is also a fi5 that is usually a forth
Well, I think I will leave before I sow too much more confusion.
Happy Babbling all.
Phew. That was a serious SLOG
I think God should reserve anything over 300 for the weekends :-)
Hi All do any of you ever get a 357 word puzzle completed?I have tried to get thru these puzzles but I just never manage to do it all...any suggestions?
will purely speak for myself, when I first started this game, I played all day to finish, using lickety's list for help
but today if I finish, I finish, if not, then I've done my best
it takes way too much time for me to go thru the list with this many words
I'm now down to 99 left
probably won't finish, but it's not the end of the world :)
