Not been back from the gym long, so the words are still flowing quite quickly here!

FWs
congrats!
yay, done. laters, all!

TY for my first word, IG.

I had a dog, Her name was Porgy, Her breath was sweet, Her odour dorgy. Ogden Nash
Ah. My poetry knowledge is near nil.
Good morning!

Can I have a nudge, please for the TE7-8 combo (I assume it's a combo)?
te7/8 ends with what you did with the bike
thanks bea, I didn't have those either!
I thought it was time for Matty's Nudge Of The Day
Thank you very much!
Everyone needs a nudge once in a while, as long as it's done gently and with love :)

Tx Bea!
good morning all....or afternoon or evening, depending on where you are... ;o)
delish ought to be a word by now
I thought so as well, mael.
Enable developers never watched Rachael Ray... ;o)
Ditto!
NTPN talk show host
oh, I tried delish earlier
Ellen
ewok planet here again
Is Ellen still on?
ding ding ding
i think i saw an article about her show not being renewed because she always urges "be kind" and then her staff say she treats them horribly. which is too bad, because it is an excellent message if not accompanied by hypocrisy.
she's supposedly a very mean person
we need more people like Fred Rogers
Wow, I'
kind AND genuine
I am reading about mean Ellen
the staff were told to not look in her eyes..
i keep wanting to do -er words, it's so tricksy
Hs Hacked!
Os Overturned!
Rs Ransacked!
It's time for me to get to work...UGH! This heat is making me lazy.
bye Bea...stay hydrated...

hi, babblers
hey welki
Welki 💖
phantom: build
zoooooz :)
phantom rodent
My phantom is a rude word. BU 8 haha!
lol
Yeah, I tried that word too.
well the B is kind of hard
I'm missing a bu7!
how's the pup, dauber?
need 8 B's
She's doing very well! No surgery! She just needs to rest in a crate for a couple of weeks.
Thanks for asking!
i have 3 BU7s
It is more of the animal, Daub
that's great, dauber
excellent!! that's good to hear - spoil her rotten :)
That was gonna be my next question. :)
She doesn't like being in the crate, but she's been very very good about it.
I have only just started though.
49 left here
don't feel guilted by those mournful eyes - she has no idea how long she's been there, no wristwatch :D
AH!! GOT IT!!! Weird word though.
Just got one that when people are horrible to another person.
I assumed it describes the stock market
She's been curled up napping. We put her favorite blanket in the crate, and she's nearby. Thankfully I'm working from home for the foreseeable future, if not permanently, so someone will always be with her.
did they prescribe anti inflamatories dauber
Yup.
i knew it
The MRI revealed, as the vet told us, the tiniest rupture she ever saw! She recommended not having surgery but to see if it's just an inflamed nerve that's bothering her.
metacam - nectar of the dog gods
Lotsa drugs for Lola: a pain killer, an anti-inflammatory, and an anti-anxiety drug! (My wife asked for one of the latter too but they couldn't help her.)
i'm happy for you..
(if it's clomicalm, it'll just take enough of the edge off her nerves to keep her settled down, won't make her loopy)
Clomicalm, what a name for a pain killer : D
Gabapentin for the pain, Prednisone for the anxiety.
pred is for the inflammation
oops
Hey, it's early. :)
Drat. The feminine version of a bu6 isn't accepted. :(
I guess I don't have a masculine version of a bu6
Or maybe a diminutive version of bu6. :)
yay.. got all the b's..
wow, still need 8 here
just found 3 weird ones
9 Bs left here...:o(
11 here LOL
well i found an odd bu 7....
well my missing 8's are t's
ooh, I have 5 of the 8s
i have one te8 and one to8
2 are t's, so I don't know if there's a 3rd or not
i have one Te 8 that I am sure you have....i am missing four 8s....
no....missing two 8s....
i also have at8
i don't have a te 8
I only have it because I saw bea clue it earlier for matty
Bea clued it earlier....it's a 7/8....
got the at 8.....ty, hursh.....
it starts with the 4 prefix, ends with a poem about a grecian urn
alright hokie and pen, want to tell us what other 8s you have?
i really wanted "fiblet" to be a word... sigh
didn't want to clue blurt, but now that you asked...
fi 8...
bi8, bu8
bu 8...
what she said... ;o)
should they be easy to find?
they are pt words...
Hurshy is a blurter, she loves blurting : D
oho i missed utilizing the top E for it
so, sort of easy....
yep thanks!
i had thought of those words and thought they were not there... silly me
i am still missing one 8....

well did you see where i said to8
oh, no...i will look on my own for it, thanks....
got it...
already had it this morning
hokie did you get at8

well i don't see how you can be missing one then
we just went over all 6 of them
I'm just happy I found 4 8's on my own
the one i was missing wat TO....i found it with your stats...
oh, it was the fi8. thought I had that.

As Annihilated!
missing one A
just found my last A....hursh spurred me on... ;o)
what was it?
au 4...
and mine was a singing voice
none of them are really hard
it was au4. tried some au
au's earlier but didn't go the right direction
I hate doing this for a five, I really do, but there's apparently an LE5/14 from the lower L and I, for the life of me, cannot see how you can possibly make that. Is there any way to give me a vague clue without being blindingly obvious? I swear I should see it from the stats but it is totally invisible to me
hmm, I have one from the upper L
me too
Oh, I'm an idiot. I was looking at the wrong L.
Ignore me - carry on
well your question helped me find an le 5/20, but it was from the top L....
second row, i think you mean
yeah, I have a 5/20 from the 2nd row
yes, sorry....didn't see the corner L...
It's all good. I was being thick as a brick. Sorry 'bout that! I'd completely missed the existence of the corner L
it's a dumb word....
I still need 1 L from all three L tiles
poor corner L, everyone failing to see it
being in the corner of the grid is like being punished... ;o)
*Puts a tiny dunce cap on the corner L
Awww - isn't it sweet!
Finito. Thanks for the nudges and for pointing out the existence of the corner L. Have a great day, all
congrats...and bye!
well done, matty. have a good night.
down to 24 and somewhat stuck. 4-5-10-5
well i am down to 39....need a break....bbl to finish...bye all....
bye pen
I see you, moo.
I'm surprised lullies isn't a brit word for lullabies.
Like lollies
brekkie
wellies
prezzie
It all reminds me of girls named Debi or Kathi who dot their i's with a heart ♥
well, it still doesn't help me with the L's

Well, not "everyone" : D
good morning everyone
hokie -- how do you get the emojis and symbols into the chat?
hey nan
my computer (macbook) has a bar on the top that I use to insert them, but I know the windows people can do it now too. maybe one of them will chime in.
a bar on the top of what?
top of my keyboard
carla, you do Babble on a Mac? How do you list?
like where the F (function) buttons are on your keyboard
bichon, I just click the lickety link below the grid to bring up the list and then enter my words with the bulk add
I think babble expert doesn't work on macs, but the list is just a website.
ty carla
speaking of which, I listed with 22 left
long ways to go here - quit at 99 last night and still have 78 to go
first pass 77 left
hey harry

later all - have fun at the dentist carla

Oh crap, I blew the chat.

Yes it can. However, that does not mean you should put ish on everything, which was my point.
well, you're not penalized for incorrect words, so my point is you should try it on everything.

Congrats!!
how did I not see that other o
The corner letters are the red-headed step children in the basement of Babble.
*Red-headed people begin to gather and schedule protests against that phrase
i AM a red-headed step child, and I find that phrase hilarious. Have used it often
OK, I don't get the red-headed stepchild phrase, please put me out of my ignorance!
I heard it as "About as welcome as the red-headed stepchild at a family reunion"
thanks, but what do the corner letters have to do with it?
THey're gingerly in the corner
50 to go! hello !
got one word I still need from that corner l its bugging me lol
still need 2 from that L :)
Thanks ru, got it, googled it, they always got beat up for some reason
i had a lot of friends that were red heads.. I never saw that
got a red headed brother he used to but then he got bigger than most of the other kids in his class
probably goes way back to children of unknown parentage, taken in by relatives, who were mean to the poor kid
that is just a GUESS
i really don't know.. i've heard the phrase a lot though
My friend Google says.."Red hair is rare. If a child is the only member of the family with red hair, it might raise suspicions that the husband is not the biological father. That would be the case if he or she really was a stepchild, from the mother’s first marriage. But “stepchild†could also be a euphemism for “bastard†in this instance. "
Thank you Molly!
Do milk men generally have red hair or Plumbers?
46. more meetings. hasta luego
excluding crosshair I guess
It's usually the mailman.
Ru! LOL!!
hahah ori!
they know how to lick those stamps I guess
ahem

Ah yes, advice for the bitter.
Any clues on the te7/8?
Ends in what you did on a horse
^Anticipates dauber saying "Good grief"
Hmm. Learned a new word. (but not its definition! Guessing it has to do with the number 4.) THanks!
a vacuum tube containing four electrodes, usually a plate, two grids, and a cathode...you get the definition if you click on the ? next to the word
I've worked in the energy industry for 25 years and I've never heard of that TE7
Does your job involve this? "Tetrodes were widely used in many consumer electronic devices such as radios, televisions, and audio systems until transistors replaced valves in the 1960s and 70s. Beam tetrodes have remained in use until quite recently in power applications such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters."
Howdy - I love this grid !
could I havw a clue for do 6/24 please. It must be easy but I cannot see it.
what a baby drinks from change first letter
D + O 5/12

iggy!
and blowing the chat
you blew the chat, French?
def not!
Nope, came close though
Hi, Molly
Watch out you two. You got accused of "ganging up" on someone and being "very inappropriate." Goodness gracious.
and who would that be?
*yawn*
Hey, they have to take a break from bitching about me some of the time. : D
thank you Molly
how was your day, French?
very nice :) went out for delicious Thai food after work, we had Chicken Satay, Rainbow roll, and Drunken Noodles w Shrimp.
uuuuuu sounds good...... I never know what to get
just gonna go sip some soy sauce now
iggy can u master the chopsticks?
you read my mind!! Just sending how adept I am!
i knew it!
I can eat rice with them - Thats right!
one grain at a time?
one fly at a time
The Kar-iggy Kid ?
talk about ruining the moment
LoLoLoL!
did I overload the LOs?
i think 3 is appropriate
did we bully someone as Molly said earlier?
i feel the opposite is true, WE were bu7. I chose to ignore that person, which is def NOT bu4ying.
I was called illogical, among other things. I never responded. How can I be a bu4y for that?
life is too short
yes it is
i emailed you, btw
just checked it
Here is the deal kids. Everyone has a right to their own opinions. The very definition of passive aggressive is for them to jump all over YOU and then to say OH POOR ME
Ok, Molly all good except for the Kids are all right
iggy how was your day? Good Hump Day????
good day today! Everything works and no dangerous critters
but hot hot hot
niiiiiiiiiice
hothothot here also
its 6:30 and 100 degrees on my porch
yikes! it's 730 here and it's 84 but with the humidity, feels like 91
dont know how the critters get along out side here
do you keep water outside for them
I have a bird bath that the squirrels and birds use
that's nice
also have a pool that the ducks use
oooooh nice
I havent used the pool in a while, so gave it up to the ducks
dam i'd be in that pool every day
yea, want to show off my pool bod, but ducks dont seem interested
dat cwazy
if you hold a piece of bread maybe? they will be all over you.
They already eat by hand - My bad fed them since the egg
I blame mom :)
yay i am halfway
i have 120
POOL PARTY!!!

no ducks
i thought you said they took over the pool
they do my bidding, sort of my flying monkeys

wizard of Ozz
Oz

what are the weekend plans? Caesars or Bellagio
Hi IG and Frenchie
Hi, Scrabs!
Scrabbler!
I am here to relax before bed.
why isn't "delish" a word ???? WTH
hmpf
I tried that too
some things are delish and some not I guess
each day, have something delish, and everything will be OKAY
So far every word I typed are ones I found this morning.
Just jumped in, saw the suggestion about bread for the ducks - it's my understanding that bread is very unhealthy for ducks and geese. You might want to google that, as I'm certainly not a duck/goose expert!
youre over half way scrab - need a clue let me know
no bread for ducks here! I have only the best
I need to focus.
ducks eat seeds, nuts, insects, algae bread if its there
use butter, French?
butter makes better
i use butter sparingly, but when I make french toast, i put many many many pats of butter on it
3 manys!?
yes i wanted to to visualize at least 3 pats of butter on each piece of FT
Ugh, local mothers are fighting the mask mandate for kids. I just read another story.
"pour some butter on me"
lol iggy, i think it's pour some SUGAR on me hahaaaaaaaa
whether you want butter or sugar, yes!
they wanted butter
they?
Ok, Me
yes i know lol
i like real butter,like Land o Lakes or Kerrygold
ok so use it
i do :)
cant live forever
enjoy the delish now
yum
what are you watching, French?
yum yum
Married at First Sight
it's hilarious
Ill try :)
have you heard of it
it's not meant to be funny, but i find it funny because it's so preposterous
um, no
good god no judging here
Couples who have never met get married. They meet for the first time at the altar.
how does it tend to work out?
most of them get divorced
imagine that
gotta make the all in or all out committment
yea there''s a little song that plays at the opening of the show and the lyrics are "It's all or nothing, it's all or nothing at all"
a few of them have said Ah hell NO , right from the get-go.
when you know, its all in or all out
see you tomorrow! bye French
night iggy :)
Bye IG
le6/21 pls hi all
I will look with you.
nm

Fw!!
el6 if anybody is still around?

dan2bit,el6/21 is past tense of the el 5/10 and el 6/21 is adjective form of the el 5/10 word and hi there!How RU?
I'm good, but it is the THIRD el6 that I need, sorry I was too vague

Congratulations dan2bit on your fireworks! Hooray for U!

WTG MINVERYORK !!
i'm very tired. I drove four towns over for some social time with friend in town from Toronto,
long journey Seain. no wonder you're tired. i hope you rest well tonight and awake refreshed.
only about a half hour away, drove different routes each way. And was able to park only one block away, which was nice.
I have a long drive tomorrow back to NY. I don't like long drives. However, it was worth it to spend time w/family.
I commute 2 hrs each day so I know all about long drives
yes i know dear Min. families can be such a pain sometimes, but when you have a good one it is the most wonderful thing in the world.
I only see my parents twice a year, so I need to make the effort.Mom & dad are definitely not getting any younger!
bbl phone call. xx
It's just about midnight and I have to get up early for my drive tomorrow.Goodnight babblers!See ya when I see ya
