(allows me to put off listing for another little while)
The AS 8/60 is derived from Greek meaning "little star" (just looked it up)
it's a great word :)
Clue for me7 please?
happier, une
the more the me*****
To be even more cheery
Thanks!!
Must be spring, some Canada Geese just flew by
They are here all year (Illinois) Expect to see some babies very soon
any help with Ks, I have ki 4/8 and ki 4/11
First I've heard them in this neighbourhood :)
kh4 and 5
and I just found those two :)
just before you posted :)
Have the greek spelling for little star, but I cannot make it work in the grid. Tried several derivatives.
It is this *
Ty bzz
ends with another word for danger
hello all
Howdy, Lindy
hello everyone
We get Canadian geese babies around Mother
Mother's Day. They are nesting now
speaking of mother's
name that proper noun! Voldemort's mum
Merope
ding ding ding!!!
don't remember that from the movies
wow, that's nerdy for you Molly!
Harry Potter is nerdy?
It is somewhere in the backstory of Tom Riddle, Ru.
oh.. I surely don't remember
i didn't watch all the movies; it's possible they didn't include her in them
yes i never read the books
read them all but a long time ago, my memory is shot; merope is one of the greek/roman nymphs or minor goddesses or something i think?
probably
it is a greek formatted style of name
minor goddess of bondage.. rope and all
i do knot think so, ruru
=)
whenever she had kids it was twines
even her marriage to Tom Riddle\'s dad was non-binding
there you go, spinning another yarn
The only film version of Merope is a short film called The House of Gaunt, which expands on the history of the Riddle family.
i only know the regular Harry Potter movie.. it was cute
Anne Hathaway was great in it.
HA
she was better in the Harry Potter movie than Princess Bride
this convo would really confuse new babblers, lol
Too bad she missed that role in The Princess Diaries. She would have been perfect.
New players are confused enough by NBT, NBS, and HOET
Not to mention 1-3-3-4-7-6
you're forgetting GATBO
it's not just new players who get confused by all the acronyms etc
idk why but i had a dream in which i was doing Mad Libs and now i really have a hankering for it
GATBO hasn't gotten the traction that HOET has. All the bandwagon riders have jumped on HOET
I don't know what is worse. Dreaming about Mad Libs or having a hankering for it.
i remember NBT and that's what I shoot for
well, i have been finding this a very nice grid. one pass, 12 words left to find.
22 here.. just a little trouble with the first column s
i need 2 from each S
what about 8s though, all i have is re8
sk8.60
as8
25 left here
interesting
I need 6 +4 S
ooh yay got the as8
and monkeyed the sk8!
so there are 5 sk words altogether, in case that helps you hokie
I actually beat the flippers to the as8 last nightðŸª
and no SO words
ok, only have 1 SK word so will look, thx
phantom: grief
has anyone finished Ks?
Nope. Not me, anyway. I can't speak for anyone
I have 5 k's
I'm missing the KE6 and 7
oho, so there's a ke6 and 7!
got em!
Yeah, I'm down to 12 words, so have resorted to the list
um it makes me think of actress Russel
kinda
that was my last 7, too
I don't know which actress you're referring to....
from Felicity and The Americans
that's two separate shows lol
I'd heard of neither, but looked Felicity up and that did help me find them. Thanks!
sounds like a band from an old hanna barbera cartoon
well I found 2 s's looking for those k's
K's killed. 10 words left :)
4 for me!
PASS
23 for me. I have been doing other things. ðŸ˜
phantom: porridge
also my computer randomly rebooted while you were talking about the k's. the error report said something about "panic". that can't be good if my laptop is panicking.
That is less than ideal!
I didn't really understand anything else it said
All done!
Have a great day all!
well done!
phantom soiree
morning all. grid needs more R's :-)
yeah right
howdy, dan
Good morning! I sure hope we are taking a break from male anatomy words!
I don't think I've seen any yet
Nothing is bulging out at me!
ru hitting the nail on the head again
well, down to 7 - 3 of which are 4's that are hiding well
Taking a break from male anatomy words? We wood if we could.
ain't that the truth
no bones about it
hi all.. finished the first pass .. scrolling for clues
I thought you said you finished on the first pass and I was impressed
I have 7. 3-1-2-1. SS T E PP A
probably hurshy's last 4 she had are in there
ooh, found the E
hokie, I don't ever remember finishing on the first pass, lol.. maybe someday
I definitely have never done it
i have
of course you have ðŸ˜
not with this one however
how large was the grid, ru?
maybe 72 words or something It took about 8 minutes
did I miss bea leave?
wow.. wtg
She did not make a formal goodbye. Is that a requirement?
as8 is my star word for today (-: blurt, blurt
well, she usually does say goodbye. thought she could guess my missing A.
do you have ai 5.12?
It's okay. We recognize that you are powerless over blurting and your Babble life has become unmanageable.
Babble-mania disease
time to get to work.. have fun everyone
(formal goodbye on my part)
you too, ru.. have a great day
bye ruru
I do have that ai5, aloy
30 left, 10 R's
*Marks Ru OUT, marks Bea MIA
well, here's my announcement...68F outside, supposed to be 82 today, so I'm going to go exercise Winston. I think I'll run him with (me on) rollerblades today.
still have 6 words left
Good because we always need to know where you are, every minute of the day.
sounds risky if Winston is on a leash..
I'm kind of hoping the dog takes off after a raccoon. The mental image is hilarious.
or a squirrel or bunny rabbit.. nope, I couldn't try that but maybe she would just let loose of the leash? ironically, my last words, the sk ones, have to do with "to move rapidly".. gtg.. happy Babbling!
good morning everyone
hi nan!
how many sk words are there?
still missing 6 from that s - have 3 so far. I hate k words sam I am
I have 3 too and I'm missing 4

Hey pen :-)

bad news for molly, I made it back from rollerblading in one piece

36 here but sunny...
OMG
73 here
hot today (82) and then 50s and 60s for a few days

are there any SF today? I hate that now I have to ask that every time.
ooh, found my s's. nm

go, carla!
45 left here....
2-1-1. how can I not find the 4's?
T PP A
still have 12 fours missing here...
still missing words from all your letters....
my Ps are ordinary....
looks like hurshy is still here but she only had 4 left this am
ha, i never log out
but it just so happens i clicked on this tab
what timing
me either, and I figured you weren't actually here
i did finish my 4 earlier tho
before anyone guesses my T, it's not my nemesis word
you mean the russian emperor?
yes
most of the t words are in pairs
maybe I should just check for plurals on them all, thanks
if you have the 5 right before your nemesis then cut off the last letter
ah, that's it, thx
I'm going to guess the 2 P are either a 4/5 set or a 5/6 set
but they could be totally unrelated
found a P4. looks like they are unrelated
are there any TS words?
just the one
ok, thanks...
still have 3 fours to find...
12:34 if you didn't find it yet
Hi all, stuck in a waiting room

you can say it again, you didn't have to
errorise - the action of finding a multitude of mistakes in your written paper
or to cause fear by using grammatical mistakes
oh yeah, much better
hah...
modern texting habits of teens will often errorise older generatons
the only defensive weapon is a red pencil...
prerisk - the period of time prior to the realisation of a risk

most of my p5s are plurals, I have one that is an abbreviated pt
but I have 3 Ps left
I have 2 p's left
only missing one P....and it's not a four....
I found another oddish p, but should be one you can monkey
tell me more about this abbrev. pt
if you pushed a button you could say it's p5
the other oddish p5 I just found is a homophone of a p6
got that one....
oh, I have the button one and one like it with a vowel

oh yeah

I have this meghan trainor song stuck in my head today. "if I were you, I'd wanna be me too, I'd wanna be me too."
fw
me, too....and four other words...
ah, I got those k's from the chat
well done
congrats...
can someone clue the K (assuming it's a 5/6 or 6/7 combo?)....
ke6/7.
an ornamental shrub
trying to think of a clue and failing
i don't know anything about plants...
kinda like the stephen king movie with sissy spacek but with a KE and different ending vowel
got them...ty....
yw - cue someone complaining about how I gave too much away
clueing is complicated....i always try to clue the least amount for that person....doesn't always work....someone usually jumps in and gives a much more obvious clue...
yes. I just couldn't think of any other way to clue
No one cares about clues anymore. Most of the clues practically spell out the word in the chat.
Re8/45? Have the other 2 8's....
not a problem, carla...
think newspaper, une
re 8...one who tracks down the news...
re8 is the only one i have
one 8 is a weird one....at least it was to me...
Tx much!!
yw...
shirl, as8 is a common and oft-mispronounced word
As8 is a star-shaped symbol
******(
SK8 is a pl of SK7 which is similar to actor Tom in Top Gun (not Tom Cruise)
anyone want to guess my missing A?...would appreciate just stats....
Huh, I never knew that as8 was often pronounced with an X at the end. That's like people who say "axe me a question".
it's either a 5, 6, or 7....
ar5?
blame the french comic book for that one....
or maybe ai5?
i have 2 ar 5s...
bingo...ty, mool....
that's how I learned about menhirs, from Goscinny and Underzo
hurshy was talking about it the other day when we had menhir in the grid, but I thought she named a different french comic book.
also, I do not know and have never read any french comic books
she mentioned two, i think....
yeah, not Tintin
i read one or two when i was a kid....my Montreal cousins had them...
I have all the other ones, perhaps sans the particularly racist one
I thought it was astro something
it is
it's the a8 but with the last two letters changed
I mainly read Archie and Richie Rich
but the other French series was Tintin
well actually Tintin is Belgian
my apologies to the Belgians
well some belgians speak french
most if not all do....
French or Dutch, yes...but it'd be like calling Canadians Americans
we are really good friends with some belgians. they speak dutch. I had a french speaking belgian prof in college. incredibly hard to understand.
They have three national languages...
oh, what's the 3rd?
German
there are also people who speak other languages...like Flemish...
oh, my friends speak flemish dutch. thought it was the same as dutch.
I thought Flemish was just the name for the Dutch speaking people
it's all greek to me
it's probably a dialect...
i need to find my missing words...
yeah, just looked it up...says it's also known as Belgian Dutch
well, I definitely remember her telling me "flemish dutch"
what's left, pen?
apparently Dutch is the most spoken language in Belgium
that's the impression I got from them
apparently Flemish people are known as Flemings
Sounds like Flemish is kind of like comparing American English versus British English, when compared to "Northern Dutch"
interesting
can't find my last word....re 6/24....
a pl....duh....i am done...
ha! well done
ty...
the Bee is a pain today...
congrats pen
ty...
heading out....bye all....
me too...bye
Last word.....missing a pr5/12.....
Have "almost pastor" and "almost laud" and "almost ironed"
A little help, please?
uh, let me think
and sorry I missed pen & moo's exits
I think change the last letter on almost ironed is the one you need, une
One of the words ends in t, one in a, and one in e...... :-(
Help! LOL
one is "almost before"
Found it!!!! Fw!!
Tx!
24 left all beginning with R
Fireworks! Anyone need a clue??
Clueless? Anyone?

Good evening to my fellow babbers!Anyone here to clue?
I just got fireworks! ke 6/7 combo were my last 2 words.
All day long, but finally got FIREworks!!!!!! YAY!
Can someone clue the 8s please?
sandr, as 8, star symbol used in writing or printing
re 8, clark kent's job on the Daily Planet
sk 8. plural of sk***, lady's half dress or a kilt + two letters written together to say 'about' in the middle. uses double consonant.
Thank you granny rose. I was struggling too.
phew skin of teeth fireworks
