*cues up a nocturne by that amazing Polish composer*
Good old Frederic.
guess that was a free clue - had no idea it would work
typed it in because ... that's what we do :)

Good morning, welki.
To get rid of a blurted clue

It took me a while.

gotta get to class - have a nice day!
hello all
Hey, lindy
I was going to tell Harry that McDonald's is giving free breakfast to teachers this week, but he eats too healthy for McDonald's.
I love McDonalds.
Once in a blue moon, I do crave a double cheeseburger, fries and a Coke.
I can't remember the last time I ate McDonalds food
same ch5 from yesterday, was it yesterday? always interesting to have words repeat
#7 is my fav...two cheeseburgers, fries and diet coke.
Ocassionaly, I want a quarterpounder.
Wow, the Raiders head coach has resigned over emails containing racist, anti-gay and misogynistic comments. No privacy for the famous I guess.
And the entire Redskins organization is under fire for inappropriate sexual behavior towards female staff.
I loved McD's, but they are the least gluten free friendly in the US. In Europe apparently they have gluten free buns and french fries. Yes, french fries should be gluten free, but here they are coated in a gluten batter of some kind and then fried in a fryer with the breaded nuggets and stuff.
the only thing I've gotten from there in years is a Coke
omg, just saw there are 11 8s and 7 9s. may just go for HOET again today.
They aren't that hard, once you find the suffix du jour.
clue for st6,24 please?
well, I got half of the first S, so I'm on my way
st 6 rhymes with the Beatles drummer
thank you bea
yw
finally stumbled onto what I assume is the suffix du jour
=) And plural
and I have 2 8s and didn't notice
oh, I'm pluralizing everything whether it wants it or not
PSA - weeing is not a word
37 left...time for some nourishment.
lots of 4s
found a 8/9
yeah, I still have like 90 4s left
sometimes in the mornings our yard is dewrich
I always wonder if people who say "du jour" also refer to Target as Tarjay.
I thought everyone refers to it as Tarjhay
is the in7 a pl?
I do not call it Tarjay...
in7 is not plural
t bzz
now why can't you make ra6 with the suffix du jour
got them
totes tarjay!
4th column i stats pls?

Perfect time for me to leave.

I think it's the third day in a row we had the monty python tree.
The la5/14 ascending? That is Ru's favorite piece of music.
what music?
It's Lark Ascending
oh duh.
One of my favorites too.
good morning everyone :)
hi nan
I was joking about the song and Ru liking it.
Very tough crowd
musical genius, star ship captain and me in the grid today :)
2/3 done! bbl - classtime
just saw a LOTR elf
Don't see Nan or Kirk
how about my first name and Picard
nan is not her real name
I do see Arwen
✅✅✅
no idea - who was Arwen?
I'm still reeling that Nan knows who Picard is
she's answering mine
That was a long time ago, Molly
oh, the elf?
yes
Nan's real name is Zogi? Who knew?
lol
missing one s from the right - any guesses?
I still need 4 there!
but I guess st6 for you
6/24 - bea clued it earlier for someone or I wouldn't have
have st 6 that rhymes with the old folks game :)
ok, then I don't know
but if you want to guess my missing 3 (found one after I said I needed 4)
It is a combination of Gordon Sumner and Richard Starkey
oh, found 2 more. now just need the same one as nan (probably)
assuming yu have the 8-9
There is an st7 and an si6 from that S
nm - wrong s
have both
are you talking about the baby cat rhymer, bea?
that was mine - ty carla - right column black
yes, carla
si 6 x4 from that s
2 pts, a plural and the one carla just clued
I've got to get something done...see you all tomorrow.
bye bea
well, I'm going to save 55 for later. 11-13-13-8-5-5
91 here, but breakfast first :)
ah! was missing the beer mug
last col gray!
ooh!...another big one!....hello all....
Girls love the big ones : D
lol...
well the first half was fun...;o) ... the best part about big grids...
Notice how pen just breezes through 156 words in ten minutes
playing fast comes from playing competitive boggle online....i did that for years, playing with several people who played faster than i did....
One of the things I like best about Babble is that it isn't timed
That's interesting pen. I've played the online boggle, but I play this grid completely differently. Maybe because I know I have the time?
i like it well enough....just different from what I used to do...
sometimes i play slower, but usually at the beginning i play fast....
We all have our ways with these grids!
for sure...
hi again
hi nan....
hi
hi everyone. How is everyone doing? Two big grids in a row, so I guess we're all busy.
...and enjoying it!
hi joy...
hi joy
second row i word?
no idea....sorry....
in5/12
in 5/12
looking!
aha, found it!
was pretty confident you would :)
Zoira...Nan's real name is Zoira
so much more exotic than my real name :D
is your name in the grid today?
yes -- last name yesterday, first name today
Chedra?
wow....what are the odds of that....
Zog
Chet
Nogin
keep trying, joy... ;o)
Picra
There's a guy on the latest British Bake Off named Chigs.
Pichen?
Zhedra?
Swed
nope....try again... ;o)
Ned
Ted
need at least four letters, joy....
We are guessing Nan's name Pen
I know, it's Ninnn. There is something we can do with those 3 n's after all!
Hocee
Gene.... *thinking maybe Nan is actually a guy*....
Give us a hint, Nan. Your name's not also an actual grid word, is it? If we guess it will we be in the PB?
That is why we guessed Ted and Ned
not a grid word
I'm guessing it is something boring like Dee
Pogs
Snigo
Denise...
I like Snigo. I may adopt that as my middle name.
Snigo sounds Hobbitish
I do not see that in5/12 hello all
Pippin's younger brother, who ate all the icing off the buns.
you do realize there is a reason most of employ a user name?
in + first three of what a dentist uses
hi peri...
in 5/12 is very close to the one time female Prime Minister of India
ty Molly and nan
I think that means she's not going to give up the goods you guys. Even though people already have on Facebook.
That's ok. It's fun to guess. And now we can just call her Snigo from now on. Or maybe Zog.
Either that or she doesn't want everyone to know her name is Snigo
That's Cybersnigo to you missy
not on Facebook -- dropped that after the first privacy scandal with FB several years ago.
I think cyberzog has more of a ring to it.
it's been in the grid before. if someone could write a program to search the archives for when she said it before and we look at that grid, that will solve it!
good memory carla
i have a guess but i am not sharing... ;o)
you probably remember!
it's not playable as a babble word, right?
almost, but not quite?
you do remember
;oD
if I had a good memory, I'd know which day to look at!
phantom chignon
Okay,well that can remain Pen and Nan's little secret. We will just call her Snigo from now on.
Oh, and I missed Alice when thinking of normal names
phantoms today....genetic...second...
stuck at 63 and I do need to put the garden to bed today, so off to the list.
well, that gave me 2 G's I missed, thanks

ty....
found 2 A's!
i am still missing 10 As....;o)
i did just find a combo....ar 7/8....
anyone have any ai? I think it's a wasted effort but want to make sure
racino is a word...we have one in Bangor....
darn, I have those already
i haven't found any ai
not me...
but of course we aren't done with A
i have two ar 7/8 combos....
I thought maybe a lurker would pop in and say nay or yea to the ai
hmmm
interesting, pen
i don't have any ai words, but i have a lot of As missing...
aha, didn't think to plural that ar7
ooh, found the other set, thanks
now 5 a's left.
I only have one set of ar7/8
I like big grids but this is not as easy as I thought it would be
one ends in the top left corner....
well the other is an alt sp of a russian unit of measure - helps?
hmm
the last part has most of a powerful Asian country ...
got it thanks carla and pen
yw...
help with la9 please
does the la9 extend from a shorter word in the grid?
la9 is a theif
ty, Bea...didn't have that one...
narco

yw...
name that proper noun! Chilean dictator
no idea...
pinochet
ding ding ding!!!
may be not rest in peace, the old bastard.
OK, that AL6 is eluding me. Is it a regular word?
don't have it either
an alloy containing aluminum, nickel and cobalt
new word for me
def. isn't helping peri
starts with man's name and ends in Italian sounding man's name
you need to use the beginning of each of those three elements
you can google it
if you smuch those 3 metals words together you'll get it.
bbl
ty, peri, hursh....
ty, peri
they could call the head of the ADA the ar4de7
Mr Gore + the beginning of Cage, the actor
Speaking of which, I had no idea that Cage was the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola
i have an eye test today to investigate what's wrong with my retina. would appreciate thoughts/prayers that it's something treatable or that will go away, not something that will get worse and worse.
i will send positive thoughts your way, hursh....
c
wishing you the best, hurshy
good luck, hurshy
thanks guys, off to do that now!
po 7-8 please?
sorry, don't have it yet...

nm - found
it follows the small lake, if that helps -- po 7/36
found it...ty...
new one for me -- one of many
well i need a break...bbl to find my last 58....bye all....
se 7/32 please?
or the de 7/36?
Starts like not a congressman + a vowel + Not the FBI but change the last letter
Crappy clue, weird word
ty Molly.. i couldn't have found it anyway without this 'crappy' clue.
ty for the se7
me either
sorry cyber i dont have the de7/36
the DE is a noun form of the word that means to loudly state or protest something.
ty molly - sorry for the delay - called a way for a moment
No worries Snigo
not getting it joy sorry
ends with Mr. Gore.
ty joy
sure, snigo
*!*~*!* Thanks for the help, everyone. Hagd. The sunshine and garden beckon.
That de is a dumb word
Have a good day Snigo
ty joy
huh a composer i typed in haha iss a word
CH6/27
That has been the discussion of the day
yeah, that one, zooz
apparently it's also an an old Scottish unit of liquid measure equivalent to about a quart
I only know that because I looked it up, of course, because I also was wondering how it could possibly be acceptable.
I might have mentioned it earlier too 😜
sorry, I've been in and out all day and I haven't read the whole chat. I would of course given you full credit for also looking it up. 🤣
It’s ironic that I found de7/32 while waiting for my de7/32
I was just adding to what Molly said, joy, not replying to you. sorry.
lol, jezman
that's ok, it gave me an opportunity to make a crappy joke
still looking for that po7/8. the walk didn't help me see more words.
The beginning sounds like a small equine. Hi folks.
ok, on the right track then
hey ori
Hi hokie
I've got the LI8,55 but I'm not seeing the LI8,50. Are they related?
first I'm hearing about it ðŸ˜
NM, monkeyed it.
it's not lionache - you know, what you feel like after the big cat attacks you
I thought it was what you feel when they don't let you pet the lions at the zoo.
yeah, that too
I once petted a baby lion cub.
I bet it was adorbs
OMG it was so adorbs. It almost took out a little girl who poked at it, though.
I almost added "until it bit your hand off"
ok, I think I need a clue for that li8
well I'm glad I looked up that P. never would have tried those last 3 letters.
I had never heard that p word before
ok, looked up the L8/9. also new to me.
I'm going to need a clue for those PO words. Unlike that lion cub, they are not reaching out to grab me.
ends like a key/ID thing kids wear around their necks
or a reptile
po** sounds like small horse + h***not soft and plural
now need 4 a's for 4th row and 5 n's for 5th row
so close yet so far
ty carla, got it.
Adorbs? Seriously ladies? How can you type that without just being embarrassed?
you're so easy. I mainly typed it to lure you out.
We think you're just adorbs too, Molly.
so, what's my missing E from top row?
ori, how's the spelling bee going today? I'm only at great with 24 words. that game is so hard.
en6/21
gracias
I'm amazing today, hokie :D
Humble too
you're amazing everyday ðŸ˜but noice! (don't want to be sent to PB)
how many words is amazing just so I have an idea?
ooh, I just found a ton of words with the same ending and now I'm amazing.
:D
but no pangram
Hokie, did you know that you can click on the little circles at the top by your score to see how many pts it takes to get to a certain level?
and stuck at 26 left here
I did not, thanks. genius is the top one, I thought there was a queen bee?
I'm only 2 pts away from genius. eek!
Yes, but it doesn't show you how many pts are needed. I think there is more than one level to qb also.
ok
oh, I think I did get a pangram and didn't notice. LOL
woot! genius.
Well done, hokie.
thanks.
phantom sentient
help with the li8/50 please
just giving you a minute to find it yourself 🤣
not seeing it
it is related to the other...it is a starch made from li6
ending is not out
ty new word for me
yeah, definitely me too
I am missing two nines but do not know what they are and no one has asked for a clue for them
I am also missing 2 9s
I have in, la, li, li, and sw
missing 4 8 letter words
I just need 2 8s
so maybe the 2 I need of each are sets
I need 2-5-7-5-2-2
those are the 9's I have
the 8's I have are:
There is ri9 exactly like one of the li's.
SS N Dx5 RR CC H G Ax4 Nx5
duh, thanks, vic
arx2, in, lix2, po, sw
ne
and ri
I already had the ri9
hi Vicuna
Hello, Peri and hokie. =)
oh, you said you had the same as me, so you must have one that I don't have, peri
I had the ri9
sorry
missing one 9 and four 8's
I will go to the list soon. this is taking up too much time
I know, was just thinking I need to do something else.
and yet we are both still here :)
yep
ok, taking a break. TTFN
cu latter
later even
Fireworks for me. Those Ls were annoying today. Quite a difficult grid for me.
WTG zooz!
well, i was able to get over 90% without list, so in that sense, for me, not a hard grid. but there were definitely quite a number of weird words in that other 10%, so, that part was hard.
hurshy did you have your eye doctor appointmen?
having trouble with the H words
yes, i did
how did it go?
I was sending positive thoughts your way
there is leaking in my macula, so they are going to give me at least three injections of some medicine that will attempt to tell it to knock it off, then see how it looks to see if i need more or if it's all set for now. i will have to always be on the lookout for it to happen again since it seems to be the result of my myopia rather than like an injury. darn eye just keeps wanting to get longer.
and thank you
the injections are once a month, starting thursday
well at least they found out what is wrong and have a plan in place.
what symptoms did you have?
i have a blurry spot in my right eye
oh, ok
I hope the shots clear it up, hursh.
i didn't even think to ask if they hope for it to make the blurry spot go away, or just prevent it from getting worse
idk why it is so hard to think what questions you have while you are there instead of later on
the injections are IN the EYE, which should be... interesting.
Oh, wow. That sounds frightening. It's easy to forget to ask all the questions. That's why I go along with my friend when she's having pre-op appointments.
I'm so sorry about your poor eye, hurshy.
it's hard to imagine an injection in one's eye, having to keep the eye open. and it's just a little scary in all.
well i'm assuming they have some way to keep it numb and open and whatever
opiac
oh dear.
I hope it doesn't hurt, but if it does, be careful not to become an opiac.
lol
i'm traumatized by hearing this hurshy, because my imagination is vivid. I hope this procedure goes well for you.
they couldn't even do the puff of air in my eye for the pressure test last time I went because my eye kept closing. I can't imagine them sticking a needle in.
though I was able to let her pluck some eyelashes that were growing the wrong direction
i have that same issue hokie, and they keep trying
my pressure when I have had it checked successfully is always high anyway, and I tell them my mom's and brother's are too and no one has glaucoma or whatever that test is for.
Hurshy, good luck with your eye treatment. I hope it is successful.
I thought I was going to try contacts last time and she was like, I don't think those are for you.
yeah, I hope it works, hurshy
thanks
stiened
coming in for a landing (oof!) (hi all)
Ugh, 129 left after my first pass. That doesn't bode well. 😳
it's not bad today, EI
I am stuck on 22 left and will go to the list
Good morning all
With this last start, we shall see. Only have 3 8's and 2 9's. Yikes.
hey liz
Hey Carla - been meaning to ask - doesn't Mool play any more - your numerical listings always made me smile!
he hasn't updated his profile pic since Aug. he came in a couple of times that month and said he was prioritizing other things.
I do miss our stats too.
Ah well - prioritising I understand. When people disappear, I always hope they're OK.
yes, I was glad he checked in because I am a worrier
