good morning from Arkansas

WHY WON'T IT ACCEPT PATHED? The streets are pathed with gold.
Nice grid!
that would be paved.....
I'm packing my jack hammer boys... where?....lol
Oh yeah, you're right.
25 words and going to bed here in uk now. bye, bye.
Gotta stop at 126. Really. Hopefully tomorrow morning's coffee will make everything clear...
brandyjack...i think that there is only 1 q
Nite Doogle... sweet dreams.. I've tried the coffee thing.. No help at all!.....
I think you're right, Baggo. If the Qu was just entered as a Q, I bet the solver found a bunch of words in combination with the U right above it.
The Q can be hard for statmakers. We will see!
well, I have the list right here. I could look at it, but I'd hate to do so uneccessarily.
i don't have anyone to check here at work...And they are hard ones...don't like doing stats with q's
hold on let me have a girl here do it
Brandyjack - could we chip in and help you hire a noncombatant?
Just play on, brandyjack, don't spoil your fun for the sake of stats. We'll see, we are forewarned ;)
i just checked them. You are right. Only 1 is accepted.
Probably affects all the other 11 words it says the Q is used in as well. No?
Deb looked here.. only 1 q its hard when that u is above it
absolutely. I love this grid, really!
I looked... I saw I foundddddddddd ittttttt..... Ermm I do hope we are talking about "q" word!

hey brandyjack...thanks so much, you rock...
7 words closer to finishing in one sec :D Great work, brandyjack. Hope you did not spoil your own fun correcting the stats.
Thanks, Brandyjack -- really appreciate all the 'stat' work you do! and tks to everyone else who does them, too!!! :-)
i wasted enought time trying to find Q words myself. And the ones I had to look up were not words I would have found on my own anyway.
S8/65
do you have a clue for that s8 ?
Think family... or rather not quite.
thanks. nice clue
I found 34 x S - brandyjack, I think you might have removed one too many. I have one valid S-word that uses the Q.
i agree with sprite. i believe the s in question is s5/18.
You are right, that's the one. So there are 180 words, 34 x S. Always s*cks doing stats for Q-grids - thanks again, brandyjack. It's a dirty job, but s/o has to do it ;)
greetings from arizona.... what's with the "Qu"???
Christa, the 'Qu' letter is not used in combination with the 'U' letter. That gives problems when trying to make stats. See below for the corrections.
I've got M4 x 4 and M5 X 2. What am I missing?
another m4 but I don't know what the last one is as I am missing that one too
M4/7 x 2, M4/6 x 3, M5/14 x 2
Sprite - got it, thanks. Now looking for that second O.
o4/5, o4/8
Something is wrong with the letter count - I've used the Q 6 times - each word was accepted.
the posted stats are missing a word that includes the q
IceBoySF - thanks - I got it.
So are we looking for 180 or 181?
ahhh.. thanks IceBoy
dianne: 180, i believe
I'd settle for about 100 words :)
180 words / 4.62 / 2269 points
Sprite - you are too good to do all this work on the stats - thanks.
does anyone have a clue for the m5/14 that isn't to come together?
I might.
I have I4 x 3, I5 x 2 and I6. What 2 am I missing? Any ideas?
denny, The satellite of Jupiter that is closest to the planet
That was for a M4... sorry!
u funnie sprite
thank you gwen
I7/44
IceBoy Sf - got anything else to go with that I7/44? I have all the other I words and just need this one in order to move on to the rest.
Dianne.. im7/44 by the way, any hints on the other I word you were missing?
im7 - The application of thick layers of pigment to a canvas or other surface in painting.
IM6/33 - hinder.
e5/10 e6/27 e4/5 e6/24 e5/12 e4/6 e4/6 e4/9 e5/20 e5/22 any clues to what i'm missing please?
IceBoySF - got it - thanks.
Denny - sure you don't mean E5/16 for the first one on your list?
oops - yes dianne - can't read my own writing!
Dianne.. i already got that im6.. any hints on the other i6?
Denny, on my list there is an E4/5 that comes after the E5/12 - I think that's the one you are missing. I'm missing E4/6, E5/10 & E5/20 according to your list.
do you want clues dianne? - IceBoySF definition is a type of sugar cane
Dianne my apologies there is no e5/10 it should have read e5/16
e5/20 is plural of e4/9
Dianne,a middle eastern prince e4/6.E5/22 is my problem!
IceBoySF - I6/39. The meaning wouldn't help me much in finding it but if you think of someone with "get up and go" spelled with an I instead of a U then you might get to it.
macadam - think of that newish gadget that everyone seems to have that starts with "I-".
hint for e6/24 pls?
macadam - a vestment worn by hebrew priests
agzam2 past tense of e4/5
Dianne.. got it.. thanks!!
a7/40
Denny - problem is I am missing the E4/9 and the E5/20 - those are the last 2 E's I am missing.
Thanks Dianne and Denny e`s complete.Coffee break now back later.
dianne - try the phonetic spelling of the irish name aiofa and the e5 is the plural. if you want the actual deif let me know
denny-found it thx :)
Denny - you're terrific - found it - thanks.
d7/48
Have A4 x 7, A5 x 7, A6 x 2. So besides the A7/40 what am I missing?
dianne the a7/40 doesn't believe in the almighty
you're missing at least 1 a6
HALLELUJAH - I got it!
*heavenly choir*!
Does anyone know what letter the 8 begins with please?
ginger begin with s there is a clue at 01:58
t7/44
Have A4 x 8, A5 x 7, A6 x 3 and A7.What's the last one that I am missing? Any one know?
Dianne you have an A5/18 missing..different plural to one you already have :)
I have the following p's 3 missing can anyone lend a hand? 4/6x4 4/7x1 4/8x1 4/9x3 5/16x1 5/20x1
thanks denny... that clue doesn't make sense yet... what's the 2nd letter and word value please?
ginger st8/65 - a movement widow twanky might make
thanks Denny... good clue!
Kallia, I have 2 A5/18 - is there another one?
Denny, you are missing a P4/6, P4/7 and PA5/14.
yes there are 3.... 2 plurals of an a4/8 and another
O.K. I have the 2 plurals of the A4/8 so then I am missing the other - ugh.
me too dianne! :-(
Kallia - how about a clue for Denny and me?
past tense o what you will say when you get it!
You mean "Ah s#@t" is there?
I'm saying it right now - thanks for the help.

Can't believe it - after all day at this I still need 8 D's, 10S's and 14 T's. I'll never finish this one.

And Jen can only be short for one name! :)
Just realised he spells it Anj....but still made the error...What does BTW mean HI MOOZEY>>>>>>>>how's it going GIRL!

Ladies....you'll like this...my initials are TLC...but always prefer Tbear to T R A C Y...
Jen can be short for jensen (Danish surname) LOL

Is anyone else getting a message that says, "Duplicate entry '5529985' for key 1" ? My babble's wigging out.
whoa...back on line...what went wrong there?
Babbles back! Two hours was having withdrawal. LOL
yeah, i'm getting that. it's messing with me!
Wow - it's a bit screwy still. Gonna wait a while to see if it all gets sorted out...back later, Babblers!
spoke too soon. Yep, getting 5529985 with correct answers. Getting 'oops' for missed or duplicate ones. At least chat is working.
harumph!!
Ginger if you are still around u5 is i na blunt abrupt manner minus the br!
maybe Dr_God has been too ambitious with all these improvements...
Now, now - I'm sure it'll all be back to normal soon...as long as my words don't disappear! :)
the words that get that error do disappear. No sense wasting our time until it gets fixed
Nope-my word list is growing, and the words arent disappearing...the ony thing that isn't working is the points column.
try reloading. you'll see them disappear.
I don't wanna!
better write those words down on paper first though becasue you'll never remember them alll :D
A fine idea! Thanks, brandyjack.
it only just let me back... been offline quite some time!
FYI-- found my disappearing word list after the 12.02am posting of Jacula. perhaps you will too!
mine worked until at least 2 am by the babble clock. 3 am my time.
thanks for the 'u' macadam ... if you are still here!
crisis! babble's back but it's eaten my word list & won't let me enter any more! is anyone else having similar problems?
uh uh... I'm getting the duplicate entry error in my word list!
refresh does the trick
if I refresh it takes my word away.... screwy!!
i'm getting that too, do you know what's going on?
thanks for the warning zoom. I just cut and pasted my entire list in case it eats mine also. Also been writing down the new ones as i go becasue they definitely disappear n refresh.
refresh takes the error message away along with the word
zoom it's happening to me too... gonna cut & paste mine too now!
you are right it isn't refreshing properly now grrr
is the non beta version working?
Apparently not - it gives the same error message, but on a whole new screen.
Le sigh! I finally get to sit down to play babble and it isn't working! Horrors!
zoom, did you get the error message earlier when you were entering your words? I'm referring to the session before the one just now where you found all your words gone.
Hi all there has definately been a hic up with babble today regardless of if you use the beta or normal version - if you look at the log there is a big gap from 08.06 to 10.05.
I was playing at that time and it all just went unavailable!
Hi folks - flying visit. Haven't been able to access the site up to now and none of my words are saving :( Wossappennin???
Okay, make NaN (part of the garbage that shows in the word list area) into naan, and pass the curry, please!
disaster...I'm going cold turkey.............
here ya go sherb <hands over chicken vindaloo>
LOL, thanks Ginger
ok Im getting an error message every time i add a word,does anyone know the address of the other way to access this site?
Now i'm getting "Duplicate entry '5529985' for key 1" in both normal and beta although the beta seems to work fractionally better. No score either. Who's hexed the server?
try loggin off and back in again
Tried that - still won't accept new words without the error message.
Done all that - switched versions, f5 etc. It's deffo on a sickie today. Oh well, i'm gone again in 15 so its' not worth overloading an already glitched server. Catch you all tomorrow :)
I am getting the weirdest messages. I guess someone mentioned the error messages before.
Back to the crosswords .Until tomorrow .
can someone please give me the beta address? TY
the beta addy is just a unhelpful
shock horror !!!! Withdrawal symptoms. What happened? now I'll never finish todays game
I am having problems took, rats.
Make that: I am having problems too, with error message. Can't enter any new words :(
I have heard alot of good about the beta address i heard it runs faster , Im just asking for the address so i can see for myself.
beta.playbabble.com
but its not working either
peri do u know the beta address for this site, I have asked but nobody seems to know it. TY :))
http://beta.playbabble.com works well on the whole the only prob I have experienced is that your messgae gets posted twice most of the time.
ty,Im on the beta site now and i must agree it does run faster < :))
one thing if you are on beta and yr messages doubles up - it does not show double on the main site.
beta is working :))
Sorry for the snafu this morning, folks. One of the databases had become corrupted. I just fixed it, so all should be back to normal now.
weyhey!!!
Cheers Dr God
HELP. I just lost all my words
Dr_God. I lost em all after an hour's worth of work. What now?
All is forgiven. My withdrawal hives are going away. lol
LOl Gwen
fits when the site is messed up I put them all on paper then type them in after it is fixed so i dont loose them all !!! Sorry I know thats no help now but maybe in the future !! :))
I've done that in the past. Thanks Wilson. I just didn't do it today. I am not a happy camper. I don't remember all that I have
fit1 - same thing happened to me ..... i closed my browser .... deleted my cookies and logged back in ...... my words came back :)
I just lost all my words twice :( But hopefully that should be the last time... Thanks for fixing it DrGod :)
hi back now! thanks fmitch! can anyone help me with a5/18 - i have the 2 watery ones
any hlp with the other 2 v's please? I have a 4/7 relating to wine or tax!
v4/7 x3
Denny - a5/18 is also watery
ginger tranpose the last 2 letters. the other v4/7 sounds like what you do when you get married. you say your **** but a different spelling
thanks Denny... got them!
loma is the second letter Q? i've tried every variation and can't get it. i have the 2 plurals already
Ginger va7x3 - clues are Very big Wine or liquid is stored in it 6th letter of the Hebrew alphabet
mitch....hebrew letter has 3 letters
Denny try the ending of a variation of alga to see if you can't find the other watery clue
and there only one v
cbr1965 i'm sure i already have that one. to clarify are there 3 a5/18's all to do with water?
I have two 5/18 and a 5/16
rolin - I have 3 V's
mitch..i have your first two... but i query your third clue
I have 2 of the aq /5/18 is the 3rd aq too cos I'm blind to that one!
cbr1965 not sure how you get the 5/16 when qu scores 6 points - think i need more help!
Sorry - I was unclear - no q in the 5/16 - I just started so probably too soon to try to help
Rolin - when I click on the ? for a definition that is what comes up ?!? Hebrew ww, from Phoenician *ww, *w, pin (sense uncertain), sixth letter of the Phoenician alphabet.]
never too soon!!
for the v7 - take a greek letter and change the first letter
cbr1965 just to let oyu know ther eare at least 4 a5/16! thanks tho'
oh dear what happened to my spelling - can i blame it on the gremlins?
rolin - not sure if it will help if you are still needing help with the 3rd v4/7, but i posted a 'clue' at 12.10.
Denny - what did you used to do before Babble? I rue the day I tore the small article out of the Sunday Times a week or so ago.........
fmitch - i used to have a life then unwittingly read my husband's Mail on Sunday and since then it's been downhill.... we've only been married 4 weeks and he's already threatening divorce!
acutally i worked in the financial industry before falling pregnant and having my son 15 months ago. i am now what the PC brigade like to call a home-maker!
can I have a clue/2nd later for the 4th a5/18 I have 3 now, 2 watery aq's and one good to do done a weapon!
There should have been a health warning - babble can seriously affect your health!!! you r life, marriage etc etc!!!
*sighs* too true, too true! how about you fmitch?
Babble seriously affects my bedtime!!!!!
Denny - a Mum - one of the hardest and most skilled jobs going!
ginger could you clarify the clue about a weapon? think there are only 3 a5/18's cos it's the last a i need!
fmitch - i second that!
Denny my last commetn aimed at you Im not a Mum I work from home so can indulge in Babble more than I should
thanks fmitch - i'm looking for some work i can do from home! any ideas?! was seriously contemplating starting a therapy group for serial babblers!
Dr God should pay you and then there should be membership for consultations lol
hey that's a great idea - wonder what dr god thinks of it?
woohoo aparently we have won the cricket - miracles do happen!!!!!!!!

karenh - u4/6 an african tree u5/18 the last 5 letters of a word to mean abrupt

hi tbear...yep was all fixed when I got back too
180 Denny well thats what Sprite said when she finished lol

had a lazy lazy day..cooked a roast..bit of babbling..papers.....my kinda Sunday...you?
pants. got two left one t and one s - just got a load of s's that i could have sworn i put in earlieir cos they are so obvious
do you need a helping hand with any?

Denny I've been noticing that same thing....or is it babble mania
BBQ was very nice.....no washing up to do lol now I am just gonna chill here for a while longer and then go read,
got the other one wahoo :0
well when certain words jump out at you when you first log on you tend to put them in first - or is it just me? but then i've just tried them again on the offchance (monkey fingers) and they've been accepted
nice one (or two!) karen!
tbear - don't suppose you have the complete list for s and t do you?
just had same thing with obvious ones ti4/6 and ti5/16 Oh well....I have never finished a puzzle anyway...try to be non-competitive....but not with backgammon

tbear - just missing an s and t but not sure what. i'm not one for going through and counting all the letters

update on my s and t's sax9 sex6 six7 smx2 sqx1 stx6 sux2 tax8 tex13 thx3 tix7 trx3 one of each to go and 31 points to distibute. anyone ANY ideas?
peajay - earlier clues shuch as a5/18 denote a word beginning with a with 5 letter worth 18 points. later clues such as tax8 means 8 words beginng with ta
right that's it i am giving up- i can't find the last 2 letters. monkey fingers are all monkeyed out
Clues, please, for ti/7?
I don't think there is a Ti7, Haz.
Sorry! Got confused with an earlier post indicating 7 ti's. Only got two of them.... What happens if you finish a babble? I can't see it ever happening for me, so would like to know what I'm missing.
Nothing Haz... I reckon there should be a fanfare or something!!!
I seem to be missing a 7... any hints to what I am missing? I have... at, da and te... god wet and storm
Looks like an i7/44 Ginger
I was thinking fireworks at least. The really sad thing is that even if you did finish it, the majority of the population wouldn't understand the significance of it all. Only fellow babblers know....
Thanks GeoBabble... will get looking
Starting to hallucinate now. All I can see is pasta which won't come together and sausage spelt with a q. Time to quit.
oops... I had it already!!!
Finally finished the Ts! Phew. Now for those evil eses.
Actually, I can't even look at S words anymore. :( Anyone have an R breakdown? I've got: R4/4 x2 R4/6 x2 R5/16 What rascal am I not seeing?
Doogle - R5/10
Thanks, Ice!

You're missing a ta4/6 and its plural ta5/14
Kallia - according to your list, you're missing a Te5/14 (and maybe a Te4/8 - there's a typo in your list) and a Ti5/14.
Thank you doggle :)

Moozey, i6, African sugar cane (Holcus saccharatus), -- resembling the sorghum, or Chinese sugar cane

Kallia, ty ty ty!!! Now I can go to bed. We walked for absolute miles today looking for ruddy dinosaurs :)
Doggle there are only 34 s's aren't there?
Well done Loal still struggling with s's but I might just say s**it ll. Did you catch a dinasour?
tah-dah !!! 180 wods, 2269 points !!! all done !
Doogle, You've got 39 Esses listed there.... I'm so confused.... :o(
any change of an s list with 2nd letter?
change the change to chance lol
Kallia- lol no but we did have to buy a few! Hang in there :)
Oops - YES, only 34 eses. That was unintentionally evil of me! Here's the correct list, and I'll take the time to a) be correct, and b) include 2nd letters: Eses sa4/5 sa5/12 sa5/18 sa6/30 sa4/5 sa5/12 sa6/21 sa4/6 sa6/24 sa4/8 se4/5 se4/6 se5/14 se4/6 se5/14 se5/14 si4/5 si5/14 si4/6 si4/8 si4/4 si5/12 si4/7 sm4/6 sm5/14 sq5/18 st6/24 st5/20 st5/12 st4/6 st8/65 st5/12 su4/6 su5/14

chrisP, ri5/10 has no official definition, but gives 'monkey' typing a whole new meaning. te6/33 is past tense of a part time job you worked. jScott, not bad for a first timer
Iceboy - missing th6/27. I think the other one you're missing is the same one I am!
IceBoy ta6/24 missing. past tense of a color 5a5/14
Help! I am being Babbled to Death! All kidding aside: hello to all. I noticed people explaining their online names earlier, so I thought I'd share the origin of mine. SheWhoMustBeObeyed. I am not so much a fan of Haggard's as of Rumpole and the inimitable Hilda.
Yikes! How did that happen? I only hit Post Message once!
past tense of a COLOR? How bizarre is tHAT???
Gwen & Chris P - Thanks!!!
This is to much for my brian
it's the plural of the color, not the past tense
geez, not only can I not type right, I got my tense wrong. LOL Make that a PLURAL of the color TA5/14
Whew, I thought Babble would have to be renamed Bizabble

goodnight all
I am wondering why it wont take edam..a cheese..nor suqs..outdoor bazaars..ack
well, i only have 116 words..but when I just came back..i didnt see anything much more..lol. Gonna quit. Night all..keep safe.
Any clue for second O? I have poetry. TIA!
Jera, the ending is the same as the aa5/18
That would help if I had the AA! ;>
Thank you, brandyjack, and fellow babblers. Spent the day watching the earnestly sexy Jim Cantore and discussing with the hubby whether to flee H. Katrina. I think the fact we haven't yet made a decision is a decision to stay put and ride it out. It's already storming nicely here in Pensacola, but we are definitely better off than all the poor souls in NOLA. When the power goes out tomorrow (and it will), I will miss babbling and 'talking' with all of you. I will be waiting for power to return and bring with it my babble fix. 'Till then....
You take care, CSA!
CSA, I hope you have everything tied down securely and that you and your family will be safe! Jera: similar to ahed...
tyvm, swmbo!!
be safe CSA! take your water wings! 128...i'd try for two more, but the eyes are drooping!
Apart from a large # of esses and tees, I still have one 'r' outstanding. I have searched high adn ow adn i am sure it is probably quite obvious, but i can't see it. It is not a turbellarian worm, or the edges of glasses, or frost, or the past tense of frost, or a religous ceremony. can anyone help me find it?
swmbo - r5/10 - a grin or laugh.
Need one last DE5. Have 5/12 x 2, 5/16 and 5/22. What am I missing?
Hi Dianne - another De5/16
Doogle, How about a little clue? I have the plural of the liquid and the one relating to diving.
I am just not getting it. Oh well, I'll work on those demned esses and tees...
May I have another clue for the st8, please? I've no idea who the widow twanky is, let alone a move she might make... :)
swmbo - the R5 word is pretty similar to the name of a type of monkey.
Dianne - to relinquish. Just one letter different from a common financial transaction.
just tried a mildly useful trick to spur me on. printed out puzzle. flipped paper upside down and over--and traced. nice to have a different view. time for sleep
Melissa - it's one of your S4 words followed by a D4.
Doogle, got it -- thanks much!
Doogle - great clue - thanks. Now to the rest of the S and T words.
Doogle, thank you!!! I was right, it WAS right in front of my eyes...
Working those S words. Need 1 ST5. I have the horse and the pig related one. What am I missing. Hints please.
Dianne, ST5/20 a very nasty infection common to hospitals
Gwen, thanks - I was going in the wrong direction!
oh, sorry, lol.... start from the bottom
Gwen, still in a gererous mood? Looking for SI5 (I have the location one but missing the other one).
Dianne - polygons are X-Si5/14...
si5/14, like your location one, is a past tense of a si4/5
that little 'd' just keeps hiding up there in the corner. lol
Doogle & Gwen - why is it the easy, easy ones are sooooo easy to miss? Thanks. Now I'm on the hunt for the ST6 +and SE4 & SE5 - clock is counting down on me!
st6 is not one of the easy ones unless you are medically trained. The innermost of the three small bones of the middle ear, shaped somewhat like a stirrup
se4 & 5 are a shortened name of a month with various endings
Gwen, got thos eS words - now I'm gonna give the TE7 a shot (parting shot ).
a t/7 in a teapot
Gwen - you are amazing! Thanks.
You have 11 minutes. Want more?
Of course - TR5 (not cut/slim).
TI5 - not binds or clocked.
C, E, and G form a C Major T5
ti/5's are all past tense or plural or ti/4's
Ti5 - look for your secretive D again!
tr5/12 A collection of three things or symptoms having something in common
