ClosedYour Words
No words submitted.
96 total words
Hellooo, anyone out there?
Just you and me, boysaway. They'll all be back soon. Can you tell me how many words in this grid?
Only 96, but it's a stinker!
I see five. Only 91 to go.
4-letter words: 70 5-letter words: 16 6-letter words: 10
Ooooh. No biggies. I might have a chance.
Thanks. The regulars must have been booted off like I was. This is weird!
boysaway, you still there?
Yes, struggling on
I've got 30, no 6-letters. Wonder where everyone is!
h6/48, I've only got 26 words!
broll, are you in UK or US?
Dr_God should give us bonus points for perseverance.
Oberlin, Ohio, USA. (That fake state is in the puzzle!)
It can't be a location problem then, everyone must be in bed
Yesterday's puzzle did them in.
Most people can't access the site at the moment. I just moved Babble to a new server. So until everyone's ISP's update their DNS settings, they'll still be trying to load the site from the old server, and all they'll get is an apology letter from me. Anyone who is here right now has a speedy ISP.
Wow, that's good to know, thanks Dr God
i'm here ... but i'm goin to bed :p
Dr_God, I am a total computer illiterate. I just went offline for 5 or 10 minutes, then came back on. Just lucky, I guess.
k6/30
Yay for me!
Just got the H. Working on the K. Thanks. No, h6/39.
Oh, good, you can keep boysaway company while I bring in plants off the porch. May be frost tonight. And hello!
t6/18
omg my favorite subject is in here!! yay!
i've got the k you want a clue?
What's that, plurple?
Dr GOd...I can access this site from one computer on my home network but not the other two....it cannot be just my ISP!
you don't hear that statement very often.
got the k also ... could use a clue for the h and the t tho :)
what h?
the h 6/48
Boys, is that a trick? Haha I'm not supposed to say words in the puzzle or people get upset. It's a four letter word starting with an M that most people hate.
oh :P
Gotcha plurple
got the t6 ... unless there is more than one ... still lookin for the h6
2 x h6
found an h 6/39 :) ... one more
L6/18
night all
Night agzam
boysaway, you are right! Lots of almost-words in this grid. 48/572 and struggling.
AAARRRGGGHHHHHH! Couldn't reach this site for 2 hours, had to threaten my ISP to get access. Can't deny an addict her dope like this, now can they? Er... and good morning all :)
Hi Sprite :)
Good morning! Glad to see you. It was weird, with only a few chatters here.
Yeah, is caused by the server move of this site. As long as your ISP doesn't refresh its DNS settings, you're toast. ;) Hope the rest of us die hards are here soon as well.
Unkind grid. Won't allow me pilot nor pillow.
nor litany :(
Litany was the first thing I "saw". There are many of such words today.
Just looked at the stats panel. Only 96 and a 6 is a biggie... tight one!
You navive speakers... why not hitman?
*native*
don't know Sprite, but that gave me another good word!
58 and time for sleep goodnight
morning all:) how's the grid today?
Well, as long as I can't spell 'native', I'd better not try hitman ;)
Night plurple.
48 and half way there. Time for a break, see you later. :)
Later, Chessy! 32 words only, but having fun nontheless :)
Hey, nice nosy H6/39.
59 and staring blankly at screen. You all find the "big" ones and leave clues. Thanks. Night.
was that a clue sprite?
Lol broll... goodnight then!
It was, zoom.
good good, thanks sprite.
You know, that almost-ing-ending in the left upper corner is putting on the wrong track all the time ;)
So far I found a chemical E6/27, a nosy H6/39, a cuddly K6/30 and a industrious P6/30.
know what you mean, there are so many 'almost' words!
you're doing well sprite, i've only got your 'nosy' & 'cuddly' ones!
May I have the "first letter" stats? Thank you kindly.
I can add an enlightened L6/18 to the list.
I'd say 'tipo' is a selfdescribing word
is it too early for a second letter for your e6 & c6 sprite?
I have no C6 so far. For the E it's t.
a day or two he said, OMG life without babble, what will I do, where will I go to get treament!
sorry, imeant p6 !
ferrari, you are with us again! Welcome back :) Had the same prob this morning and hell, what a way to start yr day! Cold turkey before breakfast is cruel.
zoom: i.
I thought it was my boiled egg done it again, what a puny grid though. mind you anything is better than nothing,"sigh"
One of my favorite movies is in here, with Barbra Streisand. :)
Morning all.Sprite I like that film too.Drop the last letter
Won't take, macadam. :(
Sorry it was on the list,but no more.Shame
morning macadam, did you get the Dr God message?
Hi Ferrari,how are you today?
I got straight on.My ISP must be fast enough to cope.
mac see 2.37am
I don't have one of the cheapest ISP's in Holland, but it pays off more often than not. Got on very fast this morning :)
Thats scary.My consolation is a huge pile of books collected for the summer hols and not yet read.
thanks sprite, finally got there.
yes fortunately mine too, I tried at 7.45am (Hudds) and he said an hour or two but twas less than that
Good, zoom! :)
Lotti phoned for the grid a while ago.I`m at work shortly.Back after 10.30
see you later lol
40 words and no 6`s
macadam: that movie will take with another letter at the end :)
TTFN
Barbara Streisand, can only think Fuuny, Dolly, Star and The Way We Were
There are moments you remember all your life there are moments you pray for and dream of all your life this is one of those moments...
It about a yewish girl in the early 1900s, who yearns to be allowed to study, but isn't. When her father dies, she presumes to be a boy and goes to a jeshiva.
Sprite I remember those lyrics but not the filmI , the only other is Yentl
oops, now you've done it, ferrari
sorry
hi everyone...it won't take it from me???
i tried putting that in a while ago but no joy. did it accept sprite?
OMG didn't see it that way, not with it yet
baggo: no, not the movie itself. But change the last letter and you have a Y5.
LOL ferrari! It happens... to the best of us ;)
oh okay, i had that kept trying to put the movie in..lol and you had me looking for pilot and pillow..8-)
thanks sprite
ooohh yes, what would we do without you sprite?
And there I was, thinking I spared everyone the hunt for those close-but-no-cigar words :)
does anyone have any stats yet?
i want prattle and rattle..
Today's tighty babble stats: 6 x 10 5 x 16 4 x 70 --- 96 words --- A -- 7 E -- 5 G -- 2 H -- 15 K -- 11 L -- 2 M -- 8 N -- 7 O -- 2 P -- 6 T -- 15 W -- 11 Y -- 5
Thanks Sprite,I was trying to do them but lost the m and the y so they didn't add up
At least Dr_God had the decency to put on a small grid on this day of limited access ;)
oink oink
went for coffee - grey matter definitely needs a kick - thanks for the stats sprite.
i have 3 x ye4 & 1 x ye5 - any ideas on the missing one?
Update of my 'biggies': a chemical E6/27, a nosy H6/39, an early-birdie H6/48, a cuddly K6/30, an enlightened L6/18, a strangely spelled but early-in-the-day M6/24, an industrious P6/30 and a somewhat worn and shabby T6/18. We need 2 more.
Ye4/7 x 3 Ye4/10 Ye5/16
o6/24 greasy gent
Great baggo! Only one more now!
Got it. An almost singing W6/36.
ty sprite..nice clues
It's a tight grid, but I like most words. Not many scrabble words, most normal ones. :)
i agree i really liked yesterday's too...words that just jump out at you every which way..
Oh yes, I really had fun with that yesterday! It is so nice to see words even faster than you can type them. But I like the searching and hunting of the smaller ones too.
yes i do too...the ones like yesterdays my last couple were easy words that i had sworn i had already put in. too big and i tend to type so fast that i lose some
I have the same thing. Sometimes I suspect babble of erasing words ;)
Morning all. It won't let me have 'hitman':-(
anj and i talked about that the other day...real easy words that i know i have entered...the real obvious ones and they poof are gone
I know, Jacula, it's a b*tch. But you are close to another biggie ;)
morning jacula, perhaps it's just as well. got to go see you later lol
Sprite - Know what you mean. That happened to me with 'said' yesterday. Hi & Bye Ferrari.x
I am proud. Got the Ks done and they are always a pain in the *ss for me. Even worse than vowel words.
Sprite - is that that p6/30 to do with either shorthand, horse racing or fossil fuel?
Mine got to do with mining people.
That's the one, Sprite.:-)
Thank you :) Learn something new here every day, if not new words, than at least new meanings. God, I love language.
Alright, a poll: is our queen Beatrix hatty or not?
I know our Camilla is 'hatty'. Wears HUGE ones! LOL. (I tried hatty, too. )
yeah you guys got lots of them hatty things on your side of the pond...i did it too
Grid won't let me have 'lipo' either! Oh, and that wa4/11 word still isn't allowed. (LOL)
i even tried that wa4 with an "ie"
Tried that too, LOL!
glad i'm not the only one then!
Speaking of that ending to the word, I suppose you've got the thing you need when you sneeze or cry?
Yup, that's the nosy one.
least george michael is in here
sprite - your 'early bird' h6 is driving me nuts - anything else you can tell me?
Bird of prey, but then very young.
zoom look for the bird and go from there...
many thanks for putting a simple soul out of her misery!!
A small hint for others who are as blind as me: as soon as you have exhausted all the wh-options, remember there is another h. Realised that only after trying things like wiop and such.
are there 4 wh's?
Oh yes, the 'h' that leads to some violent words!
I have 5 'wh' words so far.
That's the one :) I have four now, but I am one W short.
well 13 left to go, but break is over will see you all later from home, busy night not sure be able to get back on...cya
96 words / 4.38 / 1102 points. I had the hardest time with the Hs, some words I have never seen. But since they were 4 letter words, noodling did the trick :) Thanks guys and girls, it was fun babbling with you, as always :D
Bye Baggo. Hope your make-up isn't running. (I read yesterday's log!:-)))
Well done Sprite. See you tomorrow.
lol...no i shall be lookin fine where i to see him this am...ugh, of all days...oh well 8-)
Bah, humbug ;) I am sure you were looking great and he enjoyed seeing you. Still feel the urge to kick your hubby though :)
W6/36 is a town in Oxfordshire
Also a famous blanket brand name, Ex-wren.
I was brought up in Woodstock, quite near Witney
Good morning everyone :)
Hi Lola.Just got here myself
Good morning Lola - it's very wet here!
Hi haz and mom :) Yes, perfect weather for coffee and babble here too.
Morning everyone :) Ooooh, a nice gentle one today
Hey babe :) Good night last night then?
Hi Anj.
Hello. Just got back from feeding cats, sorting laundry etc.
Hi jacula :)
Morning Jacula.Won`t say good ,it`s pouring down.
Hi Babe - yes thanks :) They really rock...it was nice to see the back wall of the place stacked with Marshalls - the sound meter was wedged firmly in the red lol
Aaah, nothing like music you can feel :)
Morning Macadam, Jacula. I see the UK monsoon season is here then...
Not raining here at the mo., but has been.
Mmmmm :) Not quite the sonic massage that Soundgarden gave me but then again the venue is completely covered in sound absorbant foam because of complaints about the noise (well, vibration really...)
...I see our bunsen burner/volcano friend is in this one again...
No greek cheese, though.
There's a nice w4/12 too ;)
...trust you to spot that young lady ;)
The Egyptian symbol of life (like wot I wear around my neck) is here.
Is that the a4/11 that reminds me of Terry Pratchet?
...sounds like it should be worn somewhere else Jac, lol :)
Yup, goes with Morpork :)
That's the one, Lola.
There's a little bit of moisture in the air here in Littleport as well, but at least the jackdaws don't appear to mind...;oD
Hi movieman :)
Anj - I guess, shapewise, either right way up or upside down, it could represent the areas you're thinking of. LOL.
Hello Movieman.
what up lola, how's things your end? ;oD
lol :) Morning Movieman
Morning Anj/ Jacula - how ya doin'?
Not bad thanks :) Babbled until 4:30 last night so i'm easy into this one gently...with coffee lol How about you??
Better than yesterday, I hope! That one just hurt from start to finish :(
Awwww HUG ATTACK! () () () () () () () () () :D
I was up until 11:00pm last night (as you may have gathered from my last message yesterday), but then I did have the assistance of a2z AND my wonderful fellow Babblers...;oD
It was like pulling teeth after I hit the wall on yesterday's grid but, between us, me and my other half managed to pull the last few by half past midnight.
Aah, thanks babe :) Must dash, small person to collect from nursery, be back soon :)
...take an umbrella! :)
good morning everybody!! :)
Morning just-jo :)
how is everybody today? and how is today's puzzle... hope it's not too hard??!!
I'm fine just-jo, and yourself?
...i'm not sure, my body is still doing a cell inventory from last night...
Regarding today's puzzle, there's only 90 words (a damn sight less than yesterday!!!), and in comparison, it's pretty easier...
very well thankyou :) i gave up yesterday with only about half the desired number of words, which i'm feeling very ashamed of now after everyone stayed up late to finish! so i'm more determined than ever today! just found a rather rude wa4 but it won't accept it! lol
LOL, JustJo, we've all tried that wa4 word. (Typing it in, I mean! *blushes*)
Lol!!! :D
does anyone know what letters all the 6s start with...? can't find a single one at the mo!! *hides face with shame*
just putting you a list together.
cheers! i'm in need of some serious assistance here! :-S
e6/27 - gas used as fuel or refridgerant. h6/39 - blow your nose! h6/48 - bird of prey with added extras k6/30 - cute & cuddly l6/18 - strangely enlightened m6/24 - sounds like floor covering with a bit taken off or 'am' with some added o6/24 - greasy gent p6/24 - grimy gent (see other clues earlier in log also) t6/18 - Scottish spud
and, finally, w6/36 - blanked or town in Oxon
Meant *blankeT not blanked.
thankyou very much Jacula :) i'll see what i can do with those!
May I have the stats please?
I'm missing 1 w. Could anyone tell which one I'm missing. Have 1x wa4 5x wh4 2x wi4 1x wi6 and 1x wi5 Thanks
Sorry JaxH, I have the same 'w' missing.

I don't know who Arthur Scargill is :(
Anj, have you tried a letter less!
Sorry - I'm showing my age again! Arthur Scargill was the President of the Mine Workers' Union in the 1980's. Interesting hairstyle.
Lola, he lead the miners trade union at the time when a certain PM decided to start using strong arm tactics against the pit closure strikes
could anyone offer me a full list of a's and e's? i'd be eternally grateful!! :D
Hiddly ho everyone! Less words but this seems harder today! :)
JaxH, result! Cheers :)
Anj - pi6/30 - relates to a form of shorthand, horse racing or the fossil fuel gent.

Well, now I know just how addicted I am. We had a high wind storm yesterday, lost power at 10:30 am and got it back about half an hour ago, and I cared about the lack of water, heat and light far less than the fact that I had been really into yesterday's puzzle and was suddenly exiled!
Eva- lol! Welcome to the addiction :)
lol Eva!! 'addictive' doesn't even begin to describe the powers of babble...!!
Thanks again, Anj. Congrats Jo. I'm all done, too.
Eva, welcome to the fold :) Hey! *boogie-woogie smiles & hugs* guess who's finished :D
Congrats everyone who has finished!! Hopefully I will be there celebrating in a little while too! :)

Hey Lola, I like your noew icon :)
TIme to ask for help - I have the l word that looks like the word for grass, but spelt wrongly. A clue for the other l, please?
Me too Haz
Anj: ours are because of the technology that the company use (screen resolution and such) but others are starting to catch up. Flat screens are the way forward because of HdTV starting soon. CRT (Conventional tv) will never be able to display High Def.
Pound for pound though, ours are best because of the length of tome they last.
li6/18, sounds like baby cat :)
Haz1558: li 6/18 rhymes with baby cat
That's why i'm thinking ahead. I've got a Sony 24" at the mo which has done sterling service but I might upgrade and run that as a spare. What make are yours Bobsta?
Thanks daughter dear
Bang & Olufsen
lola100 : lmao - great minds
Thanks Anj, spotted it last night and thought it would look funky :)
Thanks for the help with the l word.
thank God Fedex's DNS updates quickly!
Ah, the good stuff. Always like their hi-fis. They're works of art :)
And we've got new products being released over the next 6 months or so that are REALLY nice!
Lola after the comments about the new you ,I refreshed and now I can see why the compliments were paid.Stunning.
Haz 1558: just read you bio . what kind of dog is keeping you company? (Sorry, occupational hazard. I am a dog trainer although I should be called a human trainer because that is what we actually do.)
Aaaw, thanks mom :) Have just been forced to go on a chocolate hunt. Malteser anyone?
Lola; mmm yes please
Cmith - I have a 4 year old Welsh Springer Spaniel called Spangle.
Wottagirl :) ((( x ))) I will get the coffees in lol
bobsat- have you washed your hands yet?
Coffee for me .The last hour since I came home I was determined to finish, but the interruptions have been OTT.However I WIN .YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Yay Macadam :) Lola, Lola, Lola... *shakes head laughing*
Wooohooo mom! *clapping* :)
Must make some bread now.See you all tomorrow.TTFN
'Bye mom :)
Am taking bow and blushing Cheers everyone I love yu all!!!!!!
Haz1558: I understand Welsh Springers can be a handful - especially in the field where they can take off for a walk(run)about if they feel like it. Beautiful dogs though - I love their necks.
Lola: PMWL!!! you dirty person!!! Gotta go for a while guys, More customers!
We love you too mom! :)
*sneaking away long enough to drop in and try to get a few more words...* hello again everyone. :)
'bye Macadam :)
Hi evanadine, you are just in time for coffee and chocolate :)
...later Bobsta :) Hi Evanadine :) How goes the abuse??
anyone have a list of all the 6es yet?
heh, so far its quick and painless, but i know the work is gonna come in fast and heavy eventually!!
Yeah, give me a second and I'll post them :)
macadam: Well done. I must take off also - work to do. I will leave you with the following (a summary of earlier posts): The 6's et 6/27 hydrocarbon ha 6/39 something to blow the nose with ha 6/48 white-faced cow OR a war monger ki 6/30 baby cat li 6/18 rhymes with baby cat ma 6/24 plural of french morning oi 6/24 petroleum worker pi 6/30 mine worker OR rhymes with hi 6/33 - the hired killer that is not in this puzzle ta 6/18 slang for potato wi 6/36 heavy wollen cloth OR misspelled singer Ms Houston
Hi everyone! Anj, Lola, love the new icons. Psychadelic!
6's posted at 9:42
Cmith - Spangle is very much a pet, not trained for hunting or anything. She does need firm handling but she is SO beautiful. She'll soon be ready for her afternoon walk. Thank goodness it has dried up as wet dog is not the best smell to have in the house!
thanks csmith!
Hi miyavi :)
Yo...you okay today? Had a scary science test :/
Oh dear :( Have you seen your favourite school subject in the grid yet?
Haz1558: I hear you! Nice chatting with you. I and my three canines are off to flyball and then agility. Have fun babbling.
Hey Miyavi :) How's your Friday?? Apart from the science bit...
my favourite school subject? *searches* ooooh dear...had double that word today, why can't it leave me alone?!
....gah! I'm having a bad hair day :( First it decided to form a birds nest and now i've untangled that it has gone all curly-wurly :/
Fine thanks Anj...the science test wasn't that bad, since my science teacher's okay...not as scary as the rest of the faculty! How was your day?
Hah...every day is a bad hair day for me! Today I'm sporting mad curls because of the rain :)
Fine thanks. Just been doing the domestic god thing, chilling out to music, surfing a few sites, talking to the plants and chatting Lola up
Mine does that as well. It's sort of wavy when it dries, but if it gets wet I end up looking like i've got a really shaggy perm :/
Talking to the plants? Is that the same as talking to a computer on the madness scale, or worse?
Probably worse, but they're hot on environmental issues... lol
ta 6/18 slang for potato? sorry, i'm not getting this--more help, please?
Just had the strangest image of you with a granny perm *shudders* since mine's needing a cut soon, it went truly madly curly today. I think there may be birds in there somewhere ^_^
Actually, the madness doesn't come in talking to the plants...it's when the plants start to talk back!
Uneaixoise -- thats the one im struggling with too...only slang i know is "tater"
lol, chatting me up! I have chopped all my hair off, so no more bad hair days. All part of the new and improved lola :)
Evandine - sounds like a shabby potato
Take your ta5/16 and give it an alternative ending. Sounds the same tho' :)
i dont have that one yet lola...hehe
thanks whitehill, your clue helped me get it and the one lola was referring to. :)
got it! thanks!
anyone else notice that after the server thingie this morning, icons reverted to previous ones?
hey, I see bigfoot's back in the grid for more :) I guess he's like me...just can't stay away!
hey all, done, need any help before i go?
Also noticed that some of the game scores must have been lost. I have been slowly slipping down the list since I don't complete too many games, and I've gone back up 15 or so.
Hi Unie...yes, I was back on the previous day's icon which gave me a bit of a turn lol

I just managed to get in. My home ISP failed the DNS update. Work seems to be just fine.
WOAH
Miyavi?? Lola, you have't scalped yourself have you? :(
Sorry...just saw a very disturbing pv...kyo spitting up blood, straight jackets, beating hearts being ripped out of bodies, that sort of thing. I love Dir en Grey *cheesy grin*
lol! No babe :)
wow, so far, work is "done" for now...im just waiting for more stuff to come in... but no bother, more time for babbling!! :D
lol Miyavi, just another day at the office by the slunds of it :) Lola :')
Anj, I wouldn't like to be in the same office as you then!
Brights lights, big city Miyavi. I've worked with salesmen for years...the moment one of those shows weakness they're taken down in a feeding frenzy. It's not pretty...
Feeding frenzy?! *shudders* Just had a Shaun of the Dead moment, have horrible images of stressed-out salesmen being eaten alive...
Miyavi, that's how it goes, metaphorically speaking. They don't call it swimming with sharks for nothing lol
Oh great *looks over shoulder* gonna be paranoid for life now. Have developed a phobia of offices :)
*whew* 28 words left to find and theyre all 4-letters. :)
Don't worry, if you're not one of them they don't attack. They just make unreasonable requests :/ lol
lol...though it's still pretty shaky laughter....though maybe that's down to the pv?!
It's the pv lol. How are you doing for words??
Can't beleive it won't take pitta. We'd have very messy hands on a friday night after the pub with kabab all over our hands with no pitta bread!!!!
only one T bobsta. ;)
96 words 4.38 1102 yay finally. ttyl guys.
okay...ish...am ashamed to be spending more time talking to people on msn and watching pvs *hangs head*
Bobsta, lose a t :) What's the Beovision recommendation then??
evanadine: i realised it as soon as i posted it D'oh D'oh D'oh!!!!
Anj: has to be the BeoVision 7-32 or if you want a bigger screen the 7-40 comes out in a while
Bobsta, that's gonna hurt lol. What's the damage all in including speakers, adapters etc ??
can anyone tell me how to work out what the total word count is please?
Anj... do you get the impression Bobsta has deserted babble again????!!!! Hi everyone :o)
Hi Lotti :) Must be customers again lol I'm not sure if Lola is still about :/
i just joined this game today. can anyone tell me what does all those numbers and letters that you type mean?
Would I leave without telling you??!! Hey lotti! How goes it?
Tia, 96 words today - 70 x 4, 16 x 5 and 10 x 6 letters
Hi Lotti :)
Poor Lola thinks i`m avoiding her lately :( Everytime i arrive she has to go and vice verce!!!
cool thanks anj
Hi Jimhash. It's just a shorthand for the words, for instance: ha6/48 translates into starts with H 2nd letter A 6 letter word worth 48 points 4 letter words are worth face value, 5 = x2, 6 = x3 etc
Hey Lola are we gonna manage 15mins together today????!!!!!!! Hi Miyavi, are you better?
Anj: Sorry Had some customers in, The BeoVision 7 -32 with motorised stand is £6340.00 installed.
I've been quietly pining this afternoon as well lol Like the new icon :)
helloeverybody nice weather for ducks :)
thank you anj
Hey lotti, don't joke! I have to decide whether I should stay for another 15 or risk another fight with the husband.... :(
hi karenth, its not raining in Croydon yet!
Fine thanks Lotti...and yourself?
Sold Bobsta!!! Are you coming to install it???? * God you`re good at your job!!!* Employee of the month xxx
Thanks Bobsta. That's an 'ouch' but then again it is the top of the range. I will drop into to your Bath showrooms next week and have a nose :)
Hiya lotti, holmfirth is a bit far but i'm sure i can arrange it ;o)
Hi Karenh - i've got a bunch of those making a racket outside at the moment lol
Morning folks - what a weird puzzle! Thanks for the 2nd letter stats, BrandyJack :)
Feel a bit crappy today (pms)! Weather doesn`t help! I did manage to get my outfit in town today, for my mates hen party....yay at last :)
Anj- left you a message at lastfm babe ;)
*sneaks a sly hug in* Lola, it might be feeding time lol
Does it go nicely with the fluffy handcuffs sis?
yay for you! I'm good but slightly scared today :)
Lotti! eeeek! *runs away, builds woman-proof shelter with sandbags, ditches all sharp objects, blunt objects, the rest of the objects, dives inside, cowers...*
Anj- sorry babe, you lost me on the feeding time :/
Hi Krys10 :) It's a puddytat today Miyavi, are you still mainlining pvs there??
lol Lo, I was just looking at the time... My stomach says it's about tea o'clock :)
Funny enough Lola it does LOL!! Black trousers with pink pin stripe, pink/lilac cami top and a black/pink/purple/lilac jacket ;) Miyavi honey,why you scared?
Yeah, I woke up in a warm fuzzy assassin knd of mood!
Sounds gorgeous sis! When's the party? And why wasn't I invited??!!
lots of wildlife here today....
I`m not bad Anj...I just get tired and can`t be arseditus!!!!
A very dodgy pv that I can't stop watching. But it scares me so. And yes, Anj, of course I'm still watching. Scary but so addictive...perhaps it's because they start dancing weirdly halfway through?!
lol krys10, I meant the puzzle, but ze cat, ee iss verrry nice ;)
The partys at Tiger Tiger in Manchester at the end of October. I can`t wait for a good night out!!! :)
Lotti, me! me! invite me!
Ooooh Anj you`d love it with all those girls!!!!
lol ** purrr purrrr**
Yeah, can Anj and I come? He looks very pretty in a dress, promise! ;)
You can all come as far as i`m concerned, but it`s not my hen night!!! LOL
Can I come, or would it shock my young eyes?!
That depends how much i have to drink Miyavi LOL ;)
oh! oh! flats or heels??
You choose, whichever makes your legs look best ;)
how come you're so willing to get into a dress, when I'm trying to force my best guy mate to wear one!? (please don't ask)
LMAO Miyavi :) Propriety forbids me from commenting on that post (down, Lola!) Wait until you get to Uni...most of the blokes dress up all the time lol
Go on Anj....show us your legs!!!
any clue for th5???
My last word - I'm missing an ha 4. I have ha 4/7 ha 4/7 ha 4/11 ha 4/7 ha 4/7 ha 4/14 Would some kind soul tell me what I'm missing, please?
where's mi pic??

Good Afternoon, all. :-)
EvaNadine, there's a k5 related to your K6
Beaker!!
evanadine - ki 4/11 - fruit
thanks dork. ;)
Krys10 ... OMG, Puss-n-Boots!!! :-)
Sorry EvaNadine - apparently I have forgotten how to read. Cats can't read :)
Robert, your pic is back with us... 2 x th5s - lord (olde worlde worde) and a mix of petroleum oil & ammonia used to treat skin complaints (..by burning it off presumably!) Sounds like top of leg plus, well, ol.
Jo! memememememememe!
ty
Beaker's great!! LOL
class :)
Help, anybody, with my last word. It's ha 4 and I already have ha 4/7 ha 4/7 ha 4/11 ha 4/7 ha 4/7 ha4/14 Any clues for the last one?
Haz - I think you're missing an HA4 archaic past tense of "to have"
Woo Hoo! First ever Babble Finished! Time for the Booty Dance of Joy: (_\_) (_|_) (_/_) Thanks for all the great clues everybody!!! (Now what am I going to do for the rest of the workday?)
Well, there's always http://weboggle.shackworks.com /game.html
Ah, Anj...uni sounds cool then. My friends brother goes to medical school, and all he's learnt so far is that the official medical term for man boobs is 'bitchtits'
Krys10 Thank you! I stupidly didn't take account of the second h lurking beneath! All done now and time to get the evening meal under way.
*gasp* I was beeped! Fine, then b*tchtits
LOL Miyavi........ I keep telling you you`re funny! ;)
...I thought they were moobies :/
miyavi- eeeewwwww!!!
Thanks Lotti! But all my material seems to come from somewhere else, and contain examples of my immature sense of humour.
ROFPML!!!!!!!!!
moobies?! oh, anj... I've decided, as if now, I want to go to medical school :)
He also has a professor called Mr Ding Ding. How cool is that?!
Yaaaaaay! My 2 Cutting Jade cds have arrived from SA :) That was quick :D ...and one of them is a double cd too... *does the happy happy joy joy dance*
Ooooh, I am SOOOO jealous! Enjoy babe :)
Woah! When did you order them?! I ordered some random Miyavi DVD from Japan in August and it still hasn't come!
*Hugs everyone in sight* Cheers babe :) Miyavi, Tuesday...they were sent Wednesday and must have run all the way lol
*goes on a visit to strop central*
Miyavi, it may be coming surface mail and it can get hung up in customs. I get model cars from Anmore in Canada and they always take 4-6 weeks to get here :)
Hi! I've been quietly lurking. Today is my fourth day, and now I'm ranked! Yall are nice folks and mighty good at the clues. Thanks!
Now Anj, before you listen to the cd's do you have your SA red wine and biltong at hand?!
Whatever, I'm still sulking. But my heart is set on october eighteenth, when it's hopefully arriving. So I've smuggled the portable DVD player up to my room in wait for that day ^_^
Hi deutsch! Come on in, the water's fine :)
hey kids. nice new set of icons everyone.
Hi, Deutsch...I'm not (that) much of a newcomer now...be careful, it's addictive! ~so, sooo addictive~
Hi Boreetos, hi Deutsch :)
Lo, i've got some Rock Rabbit Stellenbosch Chardonnay but i'm a bit light on biltong just now. Sanza shop, here I come :) Unless you want to bring some down ;) Woo! 39 tracks in all "forms single man mosh pit and goes wild*
Hey Boreetos :-)
slip pickens today, eh?
Hi Boreetos, Hi Deutsch :)
jo, beaker rules.
Yes, he does! :-)
My last word is teh W6 and I can't find it anywhere. Is it weird?
It`s like miss Houston the singer!
oh! never mind I got it. All done, off to do errands etc. Getting tickets to see Serenity tonight yay!!
Serenity RULES!!!!
so addictive... I forgot I have work to do. later days!
Hi boreetos :) Why thank you! *giving a twirl*
That's out here soon too :) Must get the series box set and send usual torrent of poison pen letters to Fox Media... :/
Anj- don't tempt me babe! I am there in spirit :)
gah...I must go stockpile weapons. see y'all later!
Yeah see Firefly first - it'll get you stoked for the movie. I was just introduced to it a few weeks ago.
ok I'm off! have a good weekend all.
'Bye miyavi :)
See ya Krys have a good one! :)
firefly is a great show, and the movie is just that much better. I was lucky enough to get it see two of the advanced screenings here in Seattle. It's amazing.
'bye Miyavi. Save a few dumplings for me lol
See you soon Miyavi :)
'Bye krys10 :)
'bye Krys :) Hmmm *thinks* SEries one box set of Scrubs, all 2 seasons of Roswell, 3 season of Family Guy and season 1 of Northern Exposure to get thru' too... So many, just as well i've got time on my hands... ...and a case of red wine, cupboard full of chocolate, and *sounds of running feet, panting and doorbell* Lola as well lol :)
whoops, that's 3 seasons of Roswell... :/
wow, you guys like all the good stuff. Scrubs is awesome too. What's up with this season being all late and whatnot?
Gosh Lola you got to Anj`s PDQ!!! LOL
Hehehe..... don't know how much TV you're gonna be watching ;)
Looolllaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Best be off to pick up the girl child from karate. Do you need my old icon guys????
made it here, mtnjock. 'lo.
I think we can manage without that Lotti, but thanx all the same ;)
Naah, we're good thanks :)
Boreetos, not sure - maybe it's something to do with Zach Brahh 'allegedly being in rehab at the mo.
what?! I have heard nothing of this in the states. Weird, i hope that's not true, he's too cool for that shite.
It's just a rumour, but he's been going non-stop since Garden State so he might have hit the wall. Might just be caution on his part.
Excuse me folks, gotta go do the food thing... :)
Did you guys see him on Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd? They got some kids to spray-paint his porsche...very funny :)
no, i must have missed that one. :)
can't believe wank isn't considered a word.
Hi all - bit more manageable today, eh? I second that, boreetos, and I think if the a4/7 abbreviation is legit then IHOP should be, too! :)
absolutely.
hitman isn't a word?
I must have tried hitman three different times. I guess that it is considered outside of this game.......
Hitman isn't, but if you change the first letter, you'll get one of the 6s....
Where are the fireworks and flag waving ? I've finished another one, not like the last two days!
thanks Bugsy, I think hitman is way more legit than that 6
ex wren- shew! shew! shew! BOOM BOOM CRACK BOOM!!!!! yea! flap! flap! yea!
agreed. Congrats ExWren - I think that when you finish, the letter tiles should bounce all over like the cards do when you win at Solitaire.
Now I'm happy!!xxx
:)
half way there, time for a break.
how do you know how many words there are??? How do you guys get so many???? Do you use a program or word book to help???I can only get the common ones.
later, Boreetos :)
Patricia - Pro Babblers have access to the Stats page, which lists how many words there are, plus the word count per title. Many of us also use finding aids like www.a2zwordfinder.com, and of course hints on the chat log. Also, after you've been playing for a while, some "uncommon" words tend to appear frequently. For today, there are 96 total words -- a list of the words by 1st and 2nd letter was posted in the log by Brandyjack a couple hours ago... Hope this helps :)
that is "word count per tile." SHeesh!
thanks, Bugzy!
Hi everyone :) back again
Yay! Babble is finally back up!
sproing howdy and wasn't it scary without babble this morning?
Hi Guys! It was really weird this morning - like a gost site, just me and one other person. Dr God came on and said he's changed the server and that you would only access the site if you had a fast ISP. It was like tumbleweeds blowing across the road... ...but I still can't get this puzzle! Doing really rubbish.
miyavi- you've gone pro!!!
yup! just trying to figure out how to get a picture on here...it keeps rejecting all the files/URLs I put up
Sorry miyavi, I will be no help in that department....you need Anj :)
uh huh...I'll wait till he's back from eating then. Shouldn't be too long...hopefully...?
Ok, babble blind now, which N am I missing??? na 5 16 nt 4 4 ne 4 4 ne 5 16 ni 4 4 n i 5 16
another ne 5/16
could somebody PLEASE help me with some 6 letter words? I have ha6/39 ki6/30 li6/18 ma6/ 24 ta6/18
thanks munner
missing one A -- its from the left A. i have: an4 11 an4 4 an5 10 an4 4 an4 4
kc, nt?
I'm sure he won't be gone for too long :) How are the words doing?
Miyavi .. a JPEG, that's what Babble likes. ;-) 48x48 pixels, or it will resize it .....
also missing one P, i have: pi4 10 pi4 6 pi4 9 pi6 30 pl4 9
evanadine- ak4/8 :)
JEPG? Uh...
thanks lola!
Is there a posting for the w's?
robert240 - ha6/48 et6/27 oi6/24 pi6 /30 wi6/36
also missing the O that isnt a 6-letter
evanadine- there is also an aw4/7 :)
wa4 7 wh4 12 wh4 10 wh4 12 wh4 10 wh4 12 wi4 7 wi5 16 wi4 10 wi6 36 wi5 22
ok, Miyavi. :-) When you select an image, the file type will be JPEG (with the extension of .jpg or .jpeg). Forget the pixel size, Babble will resize it. But if it's not a square, it might come across funny.
oh4/7 that isn't quite a US state
thanks bugz
thanks lola, i have the Aw, but it wasnt actually showing up on my list til just now...
Thanks Jo! Got it!
evanadine - pi4/10 x2 (change the last letter)

Thanks, Evandine. I am really trying to work these out instead of begging for clues like I did on yesterday's puzzle.
Missing a P can anyone help?: pi 4 10 pi 4 10 pi 4 6 pi 4 9 pl 4 9
ho4/9 x 2 and ho4/14 :)
Woot! Thanks Lola, my homework planner is sandblasted with pics of him. Most people just say he looks like a girl, usually earning them a pinch. Also, thanks for the help Jo!
Nevermind, missed evanadine post. Sorry! ;-(
pi6/30
Jo- pi6/30.
woohoo! finished for today -- both the puzzle *AND* all my work! :D
Well done evanadine :)
TGIF.
Wow, congrats! *stands back in awe*
argh, couldn't believe that Babble was down this morning... I guess Dr_God needs a better server and it's always a pain to change servers.
Changing servers? Sorry...please humour my ignorance *hangs head*
the server is the computer where Babble lives -- I guess since Babble is so successful, Dr_God needed more space to house everything
riiiiiight...thanks
and Internet Service Providers (like BT Internet, OneTel, Comcast) can take a while to figure out that the web site has moved addresses.
I think I need the second te4/4 and the te5/16. Are there any kind helpers out there?
sorry.... I guess I work for a big computer company :) except I'm off sick again so can dedicate more time to my addiction...
basically it's all nerdy stuff and the main thing is that my mental frustrator is back to taunt me :)
working on the Ks and Ws
ooohkay...thanks Sproing. I'll reel that off in my next ICT lesson when I'm accused of not concentrating ^_^
hee :)
munner- do you have the camping item?
Which M am I missing? ma4 6 ma4 6 ma5 20 ma4 9 ma4 6 ma5 14 ma6 24
Munner - the 2nd te4/4 is used when you go camping; for the te5/16, add a letter to the end of it
boys- another ma4/6 :)
Everyybody in the house say ANJ! 'cos we're gonna go and rock the log, rock the log :)
okay. ANJ!!!
ANJ!!!
ANJ!!!!!
Good grief! I have camped half my life across Germany, Sweden, Georgia, California...and I was a math teacher for many years. Thank you, Bugzy. Once again, it was the easy ones that ambushed me.
ANJ!!!
second te word? I have three
oh, and anj!
Thanks Lola
It was the second te word worth 4 points.
Looks like you are exception to the rule, Deutsch!
Yay! Cheers everyone :) I've got that Friday feeling :D
And which Y please? ye4 10 ye4 7 ye4 7 ye4 7
Oooh dear...Anj is going hyper. Call in reinforcements!

Miyavi, loooove the blog :) You've got my sense of humour lol Welcome to the wild'n'wacky world of Pro Babble :D
Thanks Anj :) ah, it brings a tear to my eye. And you were, of course, right about what (who) my icon would be. (was there ever any doubt?)
That was Thank You Very Nicely, lol, not a typo!
YAVWN (you are very welcome nicely) boys :)
how 'bout a ki5/24 and ki6/30?
khiddy, think feline
Hey babe :) I'm having a download frenzy at the mo :) Getting tracks that i've obly got on vinyl. I haven't figured out how to get 12" records thru' the a: drive slot in my server yet... *manic laughter*
Anj, what liquid refreshment did you have with your meal?
Any clues for the y5... Monkey typing is not working... It is my last word !!
Yeah, and why aren't you sharing?!
oh no, I got them both, I was offering for the good of the order.
bugzy- think barbra streisand movie, knock off the last two letters and replace with a vowel.
Strike up the violins and... "I feel pretty, oh so pretty and w5 and wise..."
I think the question, Boys, is what substance did he INHALE with his last meal!
Bugzy, it's a yiddish word. Sort of a play on a Streisand movie.
...a large mug of PG Tips...and a soggy choccy biccy :) Lo? What do you want me to share babe?? ;)
does anyone have a clue for the ma6 ? please?
Ohh, listen to the violins fall silent... no one asked for the w5...
TYVM (or should I say, VN) Lola! and Deutsch, too! And Mazel Tov!
Onto the Ks- help with 3 missing kh4 11 ki4 8 ki4 8 ki4 8 ki4 11 ki6 30 ki5 24 kn4 8
bugzy- you're welcome :) Anj-lol! I meant whatever you were drinking.....
you're missing another kh4/11
Bugzy, You're welcome. And Lola, great minds...
Ah, I needed the w5 Vicuna! Start up the violins again! *does mad boogie*
Sproing, think think of a morning religious service (roly poly panting red faced vicars chasing choirboys around the vestry etc)double the T, take of the S
same as the other kh4/11 but with a different last letter
boys- kh4/11, ki4/8 and ki4/11 :)
Arrr, I got the ma5/20! Well blow me down!
ahh brill -- thanks Anj!
Oh right, lol OK, I will go get the blindfold and icecubes...
Hm...I really should be able to figure out that ma5 (frequent church-goer) but it still escapes me...*hangs head in shame*
My GOODNESS you two, some people are trying to babble. This is very distracting :-) (jk, carry on!)
Miyavi -- you're thinking of the ma6 :)
sorry, sorry...typo! It's been a loooong day @_@
yeah, the ma5 is much more... nautical, me lad!
lola, TYVK (Thank you very kindly)
Jo- lol! you should have been here the other night when lotti and torgone were.....er, getting friendly!!!
There's also a 5-14 that reminds me of paint finish.
Darn it! I miss all the good stuff! I should be babbling, not cleaning my car!
Ah babble is back. I couldn't get on a few minutes ago and was starting to get the withdrawal shakes.
Hah, Jo...I've stuck with the babbling rather than the cleaning, and it's all fine down here *squints at scream through haze of grime*
Lola, can I trouble you again for my missing Hs? Have you finished? ha4 7 ha4 11 ha6 39 ha4 7 ha4 7 ha4 14 ha6 48 hi4 7 ho4 9 ho4 7 ho4 14 hw4 10
Miyavi, think bubble bath in the shape of a sailor :) Jo, we are Babbling :) We're just practising for the mixed doubles lol jack & coke jim & coke Vod & tonic Vod & orange SC&L SC&CB *fit of the giggles*
boys, IIMP (it is my pleasure) :)
scream?! squinting at the scream?! SCREEN! sorry...once again, long day
Boys, it's another ha4/7 and it goes with the one at the start of your list :)
Thanx Anj
Thanks Anj!
Thanks, Anj. But ... it's Friday ... only tequila will do. ;-) Miyavi ... no sweat, dear. I typo when I'm wide awake! There's probably one in here somewhere .... hmmm....
Mixed doubles, lol!
Thanks Jo...*crisis over* you guys all keep me sane :)
Any more H words for me?
Miyavi ... wow, that's scary ;-0
Voici les Ks: kh4 11 kh4 11 ki4 8 ki4 8 ki4 8 ki4 8 ki4 11 ki6 30 ki5 24 ki4 11 kn4 8
Sorry boys, thought you were only missing one (!). ha4/10 and ho4/9. Yes, I have finished :)
I am choosing to ignore that, Jo!
wha? I'm just warming up :(
awww... i've got nothing but love for these guys! OK, break again!! Off to get the little one ....
LOL! I can do round two tho' if you want? ;)
See ya ^_^
'Bye Jo :)
Anj, Lola, I am more than capable of raiding my parents drinks cabinet if you're interested :)
...atta girl ;) 'bye Jo :)
Miyavi, with drink, getting there is great fun. It's getting back that's the problem sometimes lol
Well put Anj :)
Lola, can't get that ha4/10 - any clues?
Why Anj, I wouldn't know what you mean! *puts on innocent expression*
good evening everyone - managed to get on earlier for my nightly "fix".have not displayed icons for a while because it slows things down - love the new ones.Miyavi_fan I see you have turned "pro"
Anne ****aways cottage?
Thank you darling. Just getting comfortable ;)
Oh Lola, I am a complete ******, thank you.
LOL! I actually have nothing to say to that....!
Hi Cath :) yup, have turned pro...in name only though, still have yet to complete a puzzle! If I'm honest I think I only signed up so I could have an icon *hangs head*
boys, are you asking me to fill in the blanks now?!!
LOL, Lol
Miyavi_fan dont worry I have never completed one either - I can dream though
Is it just me who thinks 'poit' is a word?
All the Ys: ye4 10 ye4 7 ye5 16 ye4 7 ye4 7
there's a wa** in there that I thought was a word...
lol Cath, I'll just say it's because I'm young!
Miyavi- tonight is your chance! It's a fairly tame grid, you have a nifty stats programme and Anj and Lola will help you :)
10 words to go, boy is this hard work! The smaller puzzles are devilish.
Hahaha...I'll do my best to decipher your obscure clues, but I only have fifteen minutes before my internet dies for the night! *glowers*
and its probably because i'm too old then!
fairly tame Lola!!
Can anyone tell me how many words there are tonight?
how many HO4/9s are there?
My clues are not obscure, they are.... well....different!
96 words today
Lola :) You've gone all shy one me lol.. Hey, you've been visiting again :D Miyavi, I am your humble servant if you need clues :)
As, Es and Ts are getting me
Hi all - Welcome to the pro world Miyavi - its a nice icon but I don't have a clue who it is! Musical development stopped in the early 70s! CATHB- Oh to have the excuse of youth. (does your mental age count?).
Well that's one way of putting it Lola! Thanks to both of you (the Anj'n'Lola twinset) *grovels*
boys- do you want lists? Anj- never shy babe, just speechless ;)
Hi snowyowl - I think I stopped in the 60's !!!!!
Yes please Lola
Hi and thanks, Snowyowl...the icon is the real miyavi!
LOL :D Hey, have you got OP's Adam & Eve yet? It's a truly beautiful song
Hi snowy :) boys- no prob, just give me a minute....

Ns for y'all: na5 16 ne4 4 ne5 16 ne4 4 ne5 16 ni4 4 ni5 16
If your mental age counts, Snowy, technically I shouldn't really leave the house without a large supply of bottles and my blankie ^_^
Also....is there anyone who could find it in their hearts to not love exclamation marks?!

and here's me about to ramble on about Anglo-Saxon England... :)
You still there CATHB? just finished putting the littlies to bed. Their mother would have a fit if she knew they were still awake. But 'thats what grandmothers are for 'as Doris would have said!
Penguins?? I LOVE penguins! (I collect them, you know)
didn't know that, Jera. Did you see the penguin movie?
yes snowy still here - half way there which for me is a miracle - still missing 1 wh4/12
Nope, never got around to it... would've been lovely in the Summer heat...
I'll bet I get it in my stocking though if it's on DVD by then (I'm ridiculously easy to buy for, LOL)
CATHB wh4/12 To strike with a heavy blow
Well, I've screwed up something because I have 3 i slots on my worksheet... :(((
Not that it will probably matter since I haven't finished a puzzle in I don't know how long, LOL!
30 minutes of work left and nothing to do but babble. I feel lonely :(
there are no i's
thanks Frances - i think I have that one and the "lash" one but according to the post there is another
Cath have you got the one that sounds like an old derogatory term for an Italian GRRR
thanks snowy that was the one i was missing
Wait... you said there is an LO 4/7?
Toes, it sounds like borrowing something
Got it... thanks Anj :)
TSM there is an lo4/7

Argh! I'm stuck at 62 and must take shower to go out to dinner. later days!

break time letters starting to blur :-/
Oh no, I'm not finished, snowyowl... LOL... I just found what I missed when I added 3 i's to the list for some unknown reason... I have 38 words left to find!
Babble!! Yay! My dear sweet lovely time waster Babble is back!! I guess I have one of those crappy ISP's. *kisses screen* *needs life*
I freaked for about an hour this morning... nnnoooooooooo Babble?? I'll have to clean the house or something equally as desperate, LOL!
Hi Torgone - Oh sorry Jera! They'll have to be congrats in advance!
before I move on to the h's & t's can anyone please gove me clue for the et6/27 and et4/4...I am sure i have tried most combinations now lost
Hi Snowy, all, I'm sneaking in a bit of time before dinner.

good evening torgone
et6/27 think of a type of gas, but lose the m
I have about half an hour let before I have to go...
Cath the 6 is the actor Et**8 Hawkes with an e on the end and the et4 is a volcano in Italy
thanks oggy - just the et4/4 to go now
Ignore the 8 finger slipped off the caps bar!
volcano for et4/4
Congrats Oggy. Yours was a much clearer clue than mine.
letter blindness - i forgot about the n on the left hand side - was looking in wrong direction..much slapping of forehead..thanks all
its about time i gave you lot some help for a change.
anyone have a clue for ge4?
just h & t to go - better get a caffeine fix i think
deutsch -wooden-soled shoe worn by the Japanese
ge4 sounds like the 2nd leter in the greek alphabet (I think!)
or a 3 letter word for obtain and add a vowel
I need to g4/5 life.
Thanks Cath and Snowy! I can now relax at dinner!
Torgone, Look at Cath and Snowy's clues. They helped me. Do you have the other G4?
think of a colour but substitute a g forthe 1st letter
That was my attempt at a humorous clue for the g4. I have the two g's.
I've been here, too long, Torgone. I get it now and am chuckling as I type!
Thatw as a good one, Torgone!
really must go, now. Thanks for all the help, everyone. If anyone is on late, say hi to Doogle, he's no. 5 in the rankings and turned me on to this place.
Bye Deutsch!
Bye Deutsch
Bye Deutsch
Hi all.
Any clues for the ha6/48 please?
Hi artlady. Small, neat grid tonight, but fiddly
I'm missing that one also.
snowyowl - an extention of your ha 4 14
a bit like the other ha6 but replace the n with a w

you are most welcome snowyowl anyone else need help in the next few minutes - I am done and not feeling well - but will help if I can
Hi Snowy. I'm taking a few minutes before going to a movie. Worked on it on paper today.
Tia - also what a penticostal woman waves
Tia if you have the 6/48 see the clues from Debs & Cath if not its something you'd use if you had a cold
I use the paper way some days too. It makes for complete silence as Him indoors does the crossword at the same time. V restful CATHB aren't you taking the lap top away with you and my son in law?
I'm missing a pi 4. Have 4/10, 4/6, 4/9. What am I missing?
another pi4/10 artlady

ki6 is a little puddy cat
Jo - a mine worker

Jo, works on racecars....during the race
ok snowy - what have you been up to with yellow chicken - no relation to peter & bob i hope
I am there with you artlady and snowyowl

OMG, thanks Debluvsmusic and ArtLady .... the race car clue did it for me!!
thanx, how could i miss that one
ok nailed the h's...just the t's to go

Is there a posting with the t's, w's and y's? I have odds and ends of them left to do.
cowardly chicken...isn't that redundant??
Thanks Torgone. You're a sweetheart. How could I miss that one?

Time to head for home. bbl Bye and thanks you guys.

Hi Snowy, e5/10, starts with Mrs Sharples from Coronation Street.
Hi Blaze. Thanks for the clue -I have finished!! The trip was great - It was undercover, which was a good thing , the weather was not great. The girls had a great time but only 94 children came out of a possible 250 -300, which was disappointing & our division brought 24 of those!
All and all sounds like you had and gave a great experience.....
Howdy, all. Trying to do a quick blitz on this one before dinner.
Hi Ex Wren haven't seen you for a few nights - thanks for posting the clue. I will be around for 10 mins or so - if i can help let me know.
I'm not bragging snowy, but I finished hours ago, the last two nights were too hard, I don't like long lists, I get confused.
Hi Doogle Deutcsh left earlier but asked us to say Hi
Thanks, Snowy. I'm glad to see that she's joined this motley community!

ni 5/16 gritty

Trying to change my icon - unsuccessful again its seems Maybe I'm just too tired.

YES DONE IT - TYVM Blaze, I'm really hopeless with the computer. I can only do what I can do if you know what I mean.
WOO HOO!!!!! 1st one totally finished, uh huh, uh huh.
KC big congrats from here
Congrats, KC! Nice icon, Snowy!

An 4/4 might be the first societal insect in an alphabetic list.
OMG ... I'm SUCH a moron ... *shamed*

Jera, plural of your an4/4
Is the plural of one of your an 4/4s.
Doogle! Mrs. Peel!!!!!!
Jera, this one tricked me ... The def of the an 4/4 is "A pilaster forming the end of a projecting lateral wall"
Duh, thanks! Wasn't looking for the non-trad plurals...
Good Night Doogle! ;-)
Woo Hoo! Looks like my "lame" ISP finally updated. A whole day without Babble has been tough, and now the day is almost over. I'd better get babbling.
anyone have a clue for the hw........that one is annoying me
nm, got it.......what does it mean, though....
hw4 - a monetary unit from South Korea. Of course, right? Weird words are usually either foreign currency or a fish.
Go Mama!!! ;-)

ok, well, now im feeling like i can make up words, and they are....weird
It reminds me of Not on Top of, But b_____. Minus the b.
That's the ne5/16 I have (I need the other one, btw)
Jera - "Neat, trim, and smart; dapper" or na5/16 dred, if you're into reggae.
Sorry, Jera. :-( The na makes me think of why hair when I was a little girl and forgot to brush it. LOL
how about clues for the li...
nmp. Look at you ki 6/30
Yikes, the wines making me loopy... not "why" ... MY hair ...
jo, unfortunately i don't have the ki
That did it... ty torgone... Jo, I always spelled that with pp..
I always spelled it with a k and an o ... but, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. LOL
btw, Jo looooove your icon... I always felt so sorry for poor Beaker!
Thank you, I love Beaker ... poor little guy! I love the Muppets, tho. Been changing out my icons for various Muppet characters all week.
Could I have some help with oi6/24
nmp, start with the ki ... think soft and fluffy. ;-)
petroleum worker - oi
That's it ... the screen's getting blurry. Nite Nite everyone!
We love the Muppets,have all the movies... was disappointed with the Wizard of Oz one though
There was some superb muppets special on years ago, where they were singing a song to Ernie called "Put Down The Duckie" That is, to this day, one of my most favoritest songs EVAR!

Good evening, all. Time for the final push -- just two more to go: the ye/5, and the wi/5 (16)
ha 4 7 ha 4 7 ha 4 11 ha 6 39 ha 4 7 ha 4 7 ha 4 10 ha 4 14 ha 6 48
ye5: A person, especially a woman, who is meddlesome or gossipy.
I think I'm missing one of the the first Ha 4/7. I have the one that ends in en then go straight to the one that ends in k. Ekk!
how about Ett! instead
Orig post from Baggo: wi5/16 The members of the witenagemot in Anglo-Saxon England. Good luck Coffee!
KHQ333 - think anagram of the Miami NBA team...
Thanks for the Anglo-Saxon! -- I saw earlier that someone suggested to google "witenagemot" but did not see the question that clue was for...
Thanks so much plurple and coffee. I'm ending at 95 but I couldn't have done it without you. Have a great night/morning. Go Red Sox!!
that ye/5 wouldn't have anything to do with that awful Striesand movie, would it? No, that's six letters...
Thanks for narrowing it down for me -- all done!
khq don't end!
tell me which one you neeeeeeeeed!
It's a damned T - I'm not sure which one, trying to backtrack
ta 4 4 ta 6 18 ta5 16 te 4 6 te 4 4 te 4 4 te 5 16 te 4 7 th 4 7 th 4 7 th 5 16 th 4 7 th 4 7 th5 16 ti 4 8

I'm no where near finished... : ( this is only my second day playing - but boy is it addictive!
I think he finished already
Yep -- all done, thanks. Happy to help out others, though...
KHQ are ya there?
Thank you! It's a Te 4/4 - not the one that relates to milking :)
Pitch a te...
take the last letter off of the te5/ 15
Sorry for my slow typing - connection is slow, cat's crying for food and husband just got home from work - total chaos here!
LoL Its ok... Just was wondering if you were still there
THANK YOU BOTH!!! How the hell did I not see that? I owe you both!

LOL - Cat and hubby are both eating now (and purring...). Thanks again and have a great night/day/weekend!
you too. i'm waiting another 40 minutes for the next.
Have a good one!
Hi plurple... yeah - I've been out all day and the site was down when I tried around noon my time. Now it's a mad rush to try to get all my words.
You know what was weird -- i got on fine last night, then in the morning, then i restarted my computer after i finished (i leave it on 24/7) and then the site was gone- restarted again and it was back. hah.
Luckily it was a short list today. Otherwise we'd all be scrambing. Coincidence?
I like 7-11 coffee the best. i should SO go out and get some but i'm lazy
Too late for coffe now. Can't stay up *all* night
coffee has no affect on me
i'm the only person i know who can drink an espresso then fall asleep if i sit down.
omgoodness! wow
::does the 18 minute dance::
plurple, you must really be bored
shhh =(
wanna be my friend?
: ) who? me?
I'll take that as a NO!!!!
12 minutes, 26 to go...no chance - brain is dead!
Only need the Wi 6/36 --- any clues?
tedy - clue from earlier, bad spelling of singer Houston
W---- Houston without a letter (i think)
cotton gin inventor minus a letter
li 6 for 18?? driving me crazy!
ki/6/30 change the first letter =)
Thanks!!! I kept looking the wrong direction - going left instead of trying to the right. duh!!!

Did it! Phew! what a mad rush that was.
