w7/48 x 2
Don't think this monster will get finished - nope, malibu all gone *heavy sigh* and almost through the Bacardi Razz as we speak
r9/60
306? I've got ten percent so far. Looks like we'll need that extra hour!
Schroeder -- I feel your pain, I missed my 5th straight by ONE 4 pt word
Hi Blaze, I think I was missing 10. Not too bad. I am SO addicted to this game. I think we are all addicted once we start...
JW you got that right.... you did very well..... it is really like one great puzzle as they go one after the other.
Hey, why aren't 'Wicca' or 'Wicce' considered words?
Kind of fun to stay to see the new one pop up.
JW - this game is worse than drugs because its free
GW that is painful, it always is the small words that get yah.
And the high lasts longer
I already have a wh 7/48 --- so excited!!!!!
Well, the high lasts until the next one starts and you see that it's 306 words!!!
Me too.... a toast to debs for pointing the way....
I feel yah grey; I missed by two words, nine points today. I really didn't want to ask for clues and then broke down at the last moment. Ah, well..it's only a game.
Go Mamabear Go!!! *Poms in hand*
Wow, think they gave us such a large puzzle because we get that extra hour tonight?????
good evening e1. I see it's gonna be a long night.
Too put it mildly, stillcrazy
oh. boy.
Hi Griffums!!!! Oh boy is right!!!
Hi Griff! Come on in the water's fine
w 6/30 for smeltz......
the water's DEEP!
Griff hold on to your kap....LOL
Hi Griffums
put on your water wings and float!!!!!
Hey everybody. Man, this is when I wish I was a fast puzzler. I need time to contemplate!
Yeah, but look at all the lifeguards you've got around you. They definitely came through for me on last grid!
And don't forget, there's an extra hour tonight!
No water wings, just doggie paddling! Okay, I'm cannonballing in.
t8/45
My W's are in the grey.....
r 8/45!!!!!!!
Go Blaze!
way to go Griffums!!!! *mamabear gets towel to wipe water off keyboard*
Mamabear, did you hit a sale on exclamation points or something? ;)
yes as a matter a fact - a 3 for 1 sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAMA's excited bec she finished 3 in row!
Griff don't be s 6/24 the water is just right.....
Oh, that's great! (!!!!)
Got to love it, Blaze is giving clues already!
Go Mamabear Go!! *Does cartwheel lands in splits*
That's right GW - 2 weeks ago I never thought I would ever finish one. It's like learning another language.
Then I have done my duty as pathfinder in helping another lost soul find her way
GW - and for that.... I thank thee
Babbleboard used the smeltzdog nickname...at least according to mama
thanks blaze
Don't you like the looks of 24+ hours to finish puzzle?
yes, especially for this one!!
Smeltz just your what you are made of.....LOL no pun intended
A9/60
Ok Debs, Blaze, JW, Mama, not to mention the enigmatic iceboy, find our 9s (and/or all other great long word ffinders).
Ice boy! I knew you'd come through!!
Smeltzdog - LOL ....
whew. A8/40 hope this wasn't already posted.
Mab, if we find them now, we won't have to ask for clues at midnight tomorrow. Good idea to find them now.
thanks mab.. found another... looks like its c9/60 x2
I know Jw. I think it's splendid that some people have a good eye for the long words, as I decidedly do not.
I think its getting too late for me to find these long ones........ GW - how you doin?
I've got a bunch of 6's & 7's no 8's or 9's yet But I will plug on for a while yet. Thankfully, nothing on the books for tomorrow except pamily time and maybe seeing 'Legend of Zorr'
Zorro -that is. Someone stole my o and I want it back!
Well, I need to be at church at 7:25am - singing with choir..... I guess that means a responsible mamabear would be going to bed .....
Nite Mamabear, I'll be around tomorrow to cheer to you to your next completion.
'Night mamabear -
Night Mamabear...Sleep tight. Sweet dreams.
NItey nite Mama Bear sweet dreams....
A responsible mamabear, yes. But are feeling responsible tonight? (after all, Halloween is only a day and a half away!)
Thank you MamaBear for valiantly helping at the last moments. Sleep well and rest those vocal chords.
I said a responsible mamabear SHOULD be going to bed.... didn't mean I WAS.... just a few more words....
Seriously, have a good rest, MAMA. I'll look for you tomorrow. Sleep well, Sleep tight.
Define a few!
Okay, stay awhile, and you can sleep after church, after you finish babbling again.
How sweet.... while I was typing that last message, everyone was saying goodnite to me!!!!! Oh yee of little faith.... I'm not goin anywhere yet!!!!
C9/66
Or doze between hymnns.
Define a few..... says GW....... hard to do.... would really like to find these 9ers that everyone is getting..
If you can hum while you snore, it could just work out.
Yea, but there's 5 total on the board
HOORAY! I found a c9/60!! only another 4 to go (gah. maybe time for sleep)
Careful Mama. This game is dangerous and you don't want to end up in the gutter mumbling 'hey, buddy, can you spare a di4/4?
c9/60 c-section
mab - sorry - didn't see your post - you are most welcome - half the fun of this game is helping and giving clues I think. Have to get a jump on tomorrow - have to finish my halloween costume!!!!
Lovin' ya, brandyjack.
What are going to be for Halloween, MAMA?
OK, someone keeps stealing letterd from my fingers before I type... fess up now and I won't press charges
r6/21 and r9/60, offensive terms for less than gifted.
Brandyjack, how many vowels are in your c-section? I found the 8, but not the 9.
But can also mean to thwart or minimize, such as a fire, Jack.
me too! i found the 8. can't find the 9.
75 down!
jw thanks for the 8. need one more vowel for the 9.
the 9 starts out the with the c6/21
So nice we can work together.
GW - I took the life of a small portable desk fan, removed the blades, will mount them on cardboard, put straps on it to hang in front of me, placing decals on the blades of my beloved White Sox team - will wear Sox shirt, cap and will be a TRUE SOX "FAN"
Thanks for clarifying Brandyjack.
You will be a living pun -- this means that rather than running from you they can try to chase you away instead. After all, "the best tribute a pun can receive is to have the listener run from the room while holding their nose" - Spider Robinson, (from one of the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon books)
ahah! i found it the c9/60! =)
GW - I think you need a nap!!!
got the c9/60 as well!
Good job renee
now 2 more 9 letter words to go.
MAMA - probably, but I am stubborn about doing what others think I should
GW - You missed my recount this afternoon of previous costumes I have made - like the year I was dressed in a blue sweatsuit, blue gloves, had a blue loop pinned to the top of my head and was holding a saucepan...
now i'm scared...
GW- I didn't say you SHOULD... how many 9s you got?
or maybe just scarred
GW - give up?
Renee, what is the other 9 that you have already?
just the one 9, I'm gong for quantity right now bec if I don't i'll leave out some of the suffix build ons
can you give out some clues for the c9's?
ooopsies! typo there. i have only 2. the c9/60 and the r9/60
Yes, MAMA, my brain is not able to make the connection though it is tickling at the back of my head
Iceman?
I have all the nines yes er eee....
GW - I was a potholder!!!!
That's fabulous Blaze! yey!! (have 1)
Blaze, is there something you would like to say?
Blaze, I am fascinated by your mind! Come closer so I may...scoop it out with a spoon.
Wow Blaze!
Blaze - YOU ROCK!!!!! I only have 1 thanks to BrandyJack
MAMA - please note that while I am groaning on the outside, in the inside I am groaning and thinking that I do like your style, lady!
Mama, Brandyjack gave a clue for the r9 also.
Go blaze Go! Go Blaze Go! *tries to get a wave going*
Hi Honey. There are c 8 and c 9, same word for a type of birthing procedure, slightly different spellings.
*continues wave*
JW - AWESOME _ I missed it - now I have 2 of the coveted 9ers!!!! thank you *bear hug for JW*
*puts down mind-digging spork and continues wave*
a 9 to discover
I got the r9 too
*mamabear joins wave too excitedly, fell off chair.... hold on.... ok.... back up now..... wave continues*
*continues wave*
GW _ I'll race ya to the A9???? You up for it?
thanks mab.
you're on!
GW - GO (we'll get back to the costume theme later - got another one for ya)
Mamabear, don't squeeze so tight! I can't breathe.
Okay, it took forever but I finally stumbled on the two minor epithets I'll be using all night...
YES! i found the a9!
8’s A8/50 A8/40 C8/50 C8/45 C8/50 D8/45 E8/50 R8/45 T8/45 T8/40
OH sorry JW - got carried away....
Oh I found it too!
yay griffums!
I found nachos and cheese to eat.... NOT a clue
I stuffed myself with halibut tacos today so that doesn't even sound good right now. But they were wonderful. I miss them.
I'm getting hungry.
Griff I have never heard of halibut tacos....
this one is killing me.
Mmm halibut. Yummy fish.
Are you all sure there is an a9 word??????
My computer is making weird noises and I'm home alone. I'm scared.
A hotdog would be good.
hi, nena!
They're faboo. Battered halibut (ow!) in a couple of white corn tortillas with shredded red cabbage, cilantro, avocado, tomato, pico de gallo and probably some other things that end with O.
uh-oh - better hide smeltzdog
Hi GreyWoulf :) Tough one today, isn't it?
nena are you okay now... maybe your computer is just doing it's duty....
nenalui - do not be afraid... it is just all of us typing frantically
Think of another word for are you "sure"? Start with as and add the word that means we are "sure" there is an a9.
queso? cheese? for your tacos! :)
nena, you got that right! Right now, MAMABEAR and I are in a race for the a9
No, no cheese on these. But might be good!
im okay, im just scared. Eeriness in the air, so close to Halloween.
oh dear, i'm starting to get hungry now... and i've just had lunch!
Yes! I got A 9/60 :) thank you for the wonderful clue, JW!
GW - still looking? I think I'm trying too hard - just isn't there for me..... or maybe it's the thrill of the RACE
I am ce***** (7/32) that Bush won't win the next elections. Add as to the front and you have a 9/60
I know that there's a particular dictionary on this engine but it still surprises me every time I type NARE and it doesn't take it, considering the other body parts that *are* acceptable. In fact I think I'll try it again before I hit 'post message.' Nope, still didn't work.
MAMA - it's not a fair race if I stop looking and don't tell you
thanks nena for the clue, got it now
GW - ok well i never raced with you before... just making sure.
I'm thirsty. Bad Luli is off to get some coca-cola. I need the caffeine for the puzzle.
I GOT IT, I GOT IT, I GOT IT, I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!
Ty nena that clue worked for me
griff it only accepts that word in a plural sense this is an enable word list posted many weeks ago http://www.photosphere.us/ gj_babble_db.txt
You're all welcome :) *beams*. It's lovely to help so many people :)
Griffums - nare is only acceptable in the plural form :)
so MAMA, which one do you want to race for now
CRAP!!!! I just saw your "I got it" post GW..... *sobbing hysterically* and it came before mine..... oh woe is me
I needed the plural fish to figure that out, Atalante. What a dope I am.
I was just getting ready to do my celebration dance for you mamab *rewrites dance for GW*
There, there, MAMA, there is always the next time *offers hankie, lifesaver and a hug*
oh! oh! I found the fish in the puzzle!
*smug yet ashamed* I got it before you :oP
what fish? I don't have a fish!
I can't get sardine :oP
there's a fish?
You and everybody else! ;D
I bet you do have a fish but you just don't realize it.
I take pride in small victories :)
As well you should, nena. After all, big victories are nothing but a bunch of small victories in one big pile.
Yay :) finally someone who shares my philosophy :oP
GW - well there are 2 more 9's - another ca 9/60 and a co 9/66 or we could look for this fish they are talking about...... choose your poison.
Wow, GW, that's deep!
Griffums - what's this about a fish? Are you sure it's in the puzzle or just in your taco?
did you forget to use a napkin again Griffums
The word for one who aims small pointy projectiles is also a fish.
MAMA - it depends, how many words you got? I'm at 82 Griffums - I never looked at it that way --- I was just thinking of what my father always used to say "Don't sweat the little stuff. And always remember taht it's ALL little stuff." same idea, really
ahah!! i see where the fish came from now! :)
High five to Griff thankyou for the fish
Schroeder, I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU KNEW THAT
got the fish already then, you were right Griff, i just didn't realize it
wasn't that supposed to be...and thanks for all the fish? ;)
GW - well said..... OR.... in other words... don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff!!!!! And I only have 69 words....... as I worship your babbleskills from afar
woot! am up to 105 words! just over a third of the way!
way to go renee!!!! I don't seem to be catching the fish over here... what am I missing?
MAMA - as I said before, it all boils down to getting all the suffixes as soon as you start a root word, It's the same strategy that used to frustrate my oppenents in Boggle(tm) when I was younger
Mama, there's a hole in my net too...I am not catching the fish.
No roomies tonight! Party! Babble Party! :)
GW - I have been doing that - must just not be pulling up as many roots as you are.
hmmm. can't find the last ca9/60
You'll get better Mama. I've been playing for a few weeks only (and not always finishing the puzzles), but I already see myself getting better. It's practice, like everything else in life.
nena add to ca 6/21
It's practice, nena, and not being ashamed to ask for help when you just can't see it. That's what help me on th elast puzzle. And, boy, was I smacking myself over some of the ones people helped me with
Blaze, I don't know what you mean.
Blaze, I have 3 ca6/21s. Which one?
Oh, heck yes. Help. Some words are impossible to find by yourself.
the one that ends in "in"
I just got it!!!!!
Hmm...that's one I don't have...I will keep looking.
Now I have it...thanks.
GW - getting back to costumes - will tell you this one, try to catch the fish and will then go to bed.... One year, I made a long tan loose dress, glued seashells and sand to the front, wore a large black hat with netting on it with seashells placed on it, long black wig, black fingernails.... I was a??????
when you say add to ca 6/21, what word am i looking for? :)
GW - You just got WHAT?
nena look at 1:47 post
MAMA - sea witch. Do you have any pix?
i got the 2nd ca9
Nope guess again. I have pictures but I'd have to find them
YOU DID????? *sobbing uncontrollably due to lack of fish and second ca9*
yay! found all the nines!!
MAMA - *smacking my forehead in self reproach* a SANDWITCH !!!
DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!! Very good!!!!!
So ca 6/21, if you keep adding letters to it, will become ca 9/60?
I've got to be a re6. The only 9 I have is re9. How do I get them easier
yes.... now don't make me eat my words
MAMA - the fish twists around on itself at the bottom of the pool
PS- don't forget the plural
usually the bigger words are from extensions of smaller words so I usually concentrate on the smaller ones and then go hunting... and keep tuned into clues
Okay sorry. My brain is not working properly today. I finally got it :) thank you for your patience.
do i get the first 2 letters please?
da
I'm missing Co 9/66 now. Clues please?
Mama, I still am looking for the lost fish too....not a clue.
how many letters?
its a da6/21
Jw first you need the d 4/4 the thing that people throw at a target --- very popular in english pubs....
JW - it's da 6/21 and often it's referred to as a "snail da----" because that's what it eats.
Okay I had the fish the whole time and didn't know it!!!
Well, it's not like fish make a lot of noise.
ROFL
It was VERY quiet...I didn't even see it until just now.
Haha :) finally got that slippery fish!
Okay Griffums then that's my story it sneeked in and was hiding quietly the whole time...
Or you are not so good at the fish husbandry and what you have here is a dead fish. A fish that has most definitely expired.
this is a very twisty turny grid.....
you mean to say, an EX-Fish?
I think it was so quiet it probably could have hit me like a bullseye
Please pass the tartar sauce... I finally found my fish.
:D E's bleedin' demised!
Would you like some lemon as well?
...don't you mean a walleye? Okay back to grid.
how many letters does this fish have?
Fish is swimming happily now. Help for Co 8/55?
Oh yes, lemon would be lovely
Nena lots of clues in chat log for that one
this fish is way too hard for me to find, LOL
er wait...there's a co 8/55????
can someone tell me how many letters for the da fish?
yup there is. the singular form of co9/66.
griff only co 8 / 55 no 50
Would love to get the second ca9 now that i caught the fish.... but too tired to do it without good clue....
got to get some sleep. Church is only 5 hours away. See y'all again tomorrow. good luck
Maybe we should eat the fish on our special dishes from that Asian country.
stillcrazy, heck if I know~
The fish is 6 letters and is the same as the person pushing the pointy pub projectile.
That's a long drive, Smeltzdog. Seeya...
ty griffum
there IS a co8/50. means cook in spanish.
I had NO clue that was a fish! I've had it all along, LOL
Good one Griffums!!!!
I have got it now
Griff hit me with the haddoce I got that mixed up ther is a co 8/50 only....
not funny
ty Griffums....I love a person who makes sense
Hoody Hoo! got the co9 (high school spanish comes thru again!)
But how do you feel about MEEEEEE?
Thank you renee
of course I took french!
I am ecuadorian! I speak spanish all along :) Shoulda seen it earlier, shame on me.
GW - if you help me get the ca 9 and co 9, I'll let you tuck me in!!!!!
ROFL
I know what it is and how it sounds but I'm not getting the letters in the right order. Uhura, enable the universal translator!
you're welcome nenaluli!
MAMA - for the ca think milk protein
Geez. I find the 9 letter words easily, but I have trouble with As 4/5. I finally found it now.
haha. iknow what you mean nenaluli.
That's the problem with focussing on a particular thing or style, once you are in the groove for it, everything else becomes a blur
So now I'm not valid in TWO languages. Boo hooooo.
I am off until tomorrow... see you then
night Blaze - thanks for the help
nite blaze
It's OK Griffums, we all still love and respect you *hug*
I got the co 9 by typing "spanish word for cook" in Google
Me and my little pile of small accomplishments! ;D
Take care, Blaze
bye blaze!
Wow - that is SO not what I was typing. Thanks!
me either so don't feel bad
any progress, MAMA?
nope
I keep seeing sectarians and nectarines
Just what are you drinking?
i keep seeing princes
I got a big cup of Folger's Finest right here Mrs. Olson!
Good morning, everyone... bright eyed, bushy tailed & back for more, I see!
oooooooo but I just found the poison in the puzzle!
MAMA - for the ca, think milk protein take ca6/21 that ends in "in" and then add the past tense of eat
Hi Jera
OK I have the co 8 & co 9 plural.... but not the ca 9 milk proten - even went to the fridge to check out the bottle!!!!!
good morning Jera
Hi Jera!
hello Jera!
try this MAMA take the ca + se5/10 - the last e +past tense of eat
mama, ca4/5 + in, is your root word= ca6/21, then add suffix for ca9/60
root of problem was I didn't have the 6/21 - now I have them both. And sad to say I never heard of either one.... with that I think I will bid you all adieu (?) thank you all for the fun & laughs!!! Enjoyed it immensely!!! Sleep well all and sweeeetttt dreeeeeemmmmmmzzzzz *Bear Hugs to Babblers everywhere - and a special long one for GW!! * *wink*
Goodnight Mamabear. Happy dreams!
Good night mamabear!
Sweet dreams Mamabear
goodnight mama sleep well
Good night MAMA *hug and short neck rub back* Sleep well, Sleep tight Hope to catch you later!
Well. I got all the 4 letter words. Again, a small victory, but I should at least have the roots for most of the other words.
what's your count, nena?
175 so far.
Great work, I'm only at 117
if it makes anyone feel better, I only have 61!!
Yeah, but I've been here since the grid turned!
There's nothing wrong with that!
*sigh* Still 131 words to go.
me too!! lol
I'm sitting at 59
I need a speed monkey
I keep wanting to put another 'S' on the board I have tried to make 'access' about four times already
any clues for the ac6/24?
speed monkeys are overrated.... when they aren't jonesing for their next fix, they're flinging feces Or even worse, both!
This is your monkey This is your monkey on drugs
And my sectarians have eaten the nectarines and now they are playing ocarinas. God, I'm afraid to go to sleep later.
I would be too, just don't read any Alice in Wonderland before you go to sleep and you should be safe
Gods, I just love it when you type in a random bunch of letters that doesn't look like anything and it turns out to be valid!
LOL! What a wonderful conversation to wake up to, on this sunny firstofthewintertime Sunday morning!
Woo hoo!
I hear you, GW.
Morning Sprite!
Helllllllloooooo Sprite!
Morning GreyWoulf and morning all... or night, whatever applies to you.
how many words today please?
306 today Sprite, you up for it?
A nice even 306 only.
Hi Sprite :)
Good night all- thanks for the clues -- it's 1:00 am here and I can't keep my eyes open any longer.
It is Sunday, my laundry is spinning in the machine, my kids are playing and watching tv, my love is still in deep sleep... I am ready to find as many words I can in this relatively undisturbed period of time :)
bye cybernan
Nite cyberman...
Hi there nenaluli! Good to see you again.
Sleep well cybernan
No poking fun at your name today, I promise :)
And why isn't rince a word?!
Lol, poke away, I am used to it ;)
Because it wants to be written with an S?
Love the icon, sprite
:) Thanks GreyWoulf!
argh. need one more a. ac6/24. any clues?
Well I can't seem to find more words by just passing out on the keyboard so I suppose it's time to get some sleep.
Schroeder, don't give up that easily! Miracles can happen, depending on where your nose hits the keys, right?
I need help with ch 5/ 16
Rapidly hitting that point myself, Schroeder, The c's keep turning into o's Sleep well and we'll see you later
Bye schroeder!
Sleep well, both of you. Sorry guys, I have no help to offer yet, I am still in the blissful typing-away state.
Nevermind, I just got it.
I'm not out yet, I want to get at least 6 more before I turn in
nenaluli: ch5/16 is plural of ch4/7, there's another one with a different last letter
Funny, in the CH department all I find are 4/6s and 5/14s :)
depends on which c you start with
sprite think of ending with the same letter you start with
ac 6/24 - in more pain
Nah, this stupid grid will not recognise 'choc' though I eat it every other day.
I didn't recognise wicca either
bless you saphyre!
Thanks, saphyre! I can't be bothered to check, but if it's not been mentioned recently, I just found a nice re9/60
thank you saphyre!!!
Made it to 200 so will call it a night.
Take care stillcrazy
Good night stillcrazy!
Any clues, sfneil? That's the one 9 I'm missing :-(
builds off re6/21
Not wicca? It's about time we have a serious chat with the enable dictionary!
add "what I *** for dinner"
oh thanks neil, that got me my last 9 also
I'd like clues for other nines... I only have 2!
Thanks -- got it.
What do you have neil?
Hm... and what would you call putting new nice dishes on the table after they have been broken? Should be good for another Re7, right?
I have that one and ca9/60
Can I have a clue for ae 6/ 18?
there are two ca 9's - one's a surgical procedure and one relates to milk protein
hello all...beautiful sunny morning here in London :)
hi sherb!
morning sherb
Oh God :) I just tried "carear"
I've got the chemical one, but not the surgical one
Hi there sherb, also sunny on the other side of the Canal! Morning to you. Are you back to wintertime as well or is England still the odd one out?
nenaluli... I am not sure how to break this to you... but you are certainly hitting the desperate state, lol.
Never mind, got the surgery.... thanks!
neil, it's an alternative method of child delivery
okay never mind
Okay. 5 more words and I'm out...
hi Griff, GW, sprite, neil :) Our clocks went back last night too....but only my PC changes automatically, so I'll be spending half an hour some time today changing all the others...for some of them I have to get out the instructions to remember how to do it, lol
LOL sherb, I sympathise completely! Don't you hate things you have to do only once or twice a year?
What I hate are the semiannual chores that you have to remember on your own -- at least daylight savings has national publicity!
i've never understood the daylight savings thingy. we dont' do that here in hong kong.
it's an agri-business thing... totally political
Yeah, those ones are even worse, GreyWoulf. Never cared for that daylight saving something myself. This isn't too bad, but omg, in spring. Getting up when you still need sleep, eating when you aren't yet hungry, going to bed when you aren't yet sleepy... Crazy!
we call it 'British Summer Time' here in the UK - isn't that a great name? - and there's a big debate every year about making it permanent - but people living in the far north of Scotland feel very differently about it than those living somewhere like Cornwall in the far south west...
I ignore the politics and eat when im hungry and sleep when im tired.
except, of course, if im busy babling :)
I can't even spell anymore.
That's pretty much the same problem here
daylight savings. sounds odd. i'm glad we don't have it. ;)
nenaluli, get real. You babble when you are hungry, you babble when you are sleepy... Hey, where does that remind me of.... oh yeah, it's me!
The truth is, I don't even get hungry or sleepy anymore. I notice my stomach grumbling hours later, and my sleepiness is determined by the constant misspelling.
And, at 200 words, I retire. I will be back later today to finish :) Everybody have a good day (or night)!
nite nite nena :)
bye nenaluli!
Goodnight, nenaluli! I'm not far behind you (sleepwise, I mean... about 50 words behind you babble-wise!)
Great work nena, you've earned your break See you later and G'nite
bye nena
Sleep well, nena!
Okay, folks. That's it for me, too, with 140 words left to find... hopefully I'll have time to get to them tomorrow. (Who am I kidding? Of course I'll make time to find them!) Goodnight!
I have 140 left too and that's where I've got to stop. 'Night everybody.
G' nite sfneil
So long Griffums,
Night neil, night Griffs. Have a good rest ;)
'Nite Griffums and Grey Woulf!
And sprite! See you tomorrow!
I'm turning in as well. 165 in, the rest to go, but a two year old doesn't know from daylight savings time. *hugs to all* TTFN
goodnight griffums, goodnight sfneil!
goodnight GreyWoulf!
sweet dreams Griff, GW, neil :)
Well, I definitely feel stupid. I have been trying for 15 minutes to turn my birth delivery Ce8 into a Ce9. Only after rereading the log I realised it said Ca9. This way I'll never get to 306, of course. Or should that read oaf course if it is about me?
sounds as tho' you've been in labour sprite :)
Twice, and that has been twice too many ;)
it's okay sprite! i did the exact same thing. ;)
Lol renee!
then i was just like. WHY can i not read?? sheeeshhh. *bangs forehead against computer screen*
Yeah, that was it exactly. WHY do I spend my time trying something that could have been clearly impossible and unnecessary from the very start?! ;)
haha. well, hopefully, we'll learn to be smarter next time! :)
Morning all! Looks llike a good one today!
It is, amanda, especially if you read the log carefully, LOL.
LOL sprite!
Which I didn't, amanda, and that sent me on a wild goosechase ;
Where I met renee!
I make a habit of doing that, Sprite. Why won't babble take wicca? Proper noun, I suppose
Join the gang, amanda. GreyWoulf and I were upset about that too. Very proper noun.
yup sprite! our wild goosechases. ;)
I must admit they have a certain charm :)
Evidently babble doesn't read zines, either. Any z-words?
Anyone else who wants to make 'tranches'?
sprite, believe me I've tried!
2 z-words. think of a metal.
Thanks Chessy, I feel less alone now! Yes, there are 2 Zwords, but I haven't found them yet. Also tried zines :)
amanda - the name of a French bar ;)
doh! thanks, renee
Thanks renee, didn't even have to look at the grid again to find them with your clue!
you're welcome!
I decided to go pro before I left for the night. This game is too much fun not to. Again, hugs to all and see you later TTFN
Welcome to the club, GreyWoulf! Great to have you around, pro or not... but pro is even better ;) Sleep well, pleasant dreams.
welcome to the pro community GW...nice profile :)
I like your profile!
123 words in and still only found 1 8's and no 9's any help willingly accepted
Wow! 82 words all on my own! Time to go back through the log and whack myself on the head for not seeing the obvious
goodjob amandacath!
146 words left to find...time to get dressed, coffee, papers etc...and change all those clocks...happy Babbling all, back later :)
bye sherb!
Well, that was a lot of disturbing demands here at home! Now time for some serious wordhunting, lol.
Just found a great re10 - babble won't take it, even though google gave me 4190 hits on it!
I really hate it when that happens. The enable dictionary is so weird!
yes it is! for some words, it's like why aren't they there! and other words are just like. what words are those???
Exactly. Like ywis and crms :)
woah. THOSE are weird words.
You'll get used to them. Like crwth and pfui and etui and etwee and... :)
ohmygosh. crazy words.
They certainly are. But they sort of grow on you :)
i'd certainly hope so! otherwise... you'd just go completely insane.
They are balanced by the people on this side, who are always willing to help you find those words with the most creative clues :)
hooray for nice and skillful babblers! :)
I haven't quite figured out the Enable word-vetting procedure either. Lots of the words I end up getting only by wringing out the stats (it starts with x, has so many letters and so many points, so it must be...) seem to be acronyms, which I would think are proper nouns. There's the orcs/ents debate as well - I'm with Sprite from yesterday - equal rights for all Tolkien creatures! Speaking of which, I seem to remember being reprimanded for 'elves' as well.
.. and acer should be OK, nice tree ...
*people on this siTe* I mean :) 188 words and counting...
yay! 241 words!
Well, I'm offended... Wicca is invalid!
Great going!
thank you!
Lol Jera... join the gang! We have had some people in the log who agree fully with you. :)
And I am pretty sure 'wiccan' would be acceptable.
Sorry, I missed a lot (including Neil!) whist I wandered off to do Holiday shopping on eBay...
Neil will be back... as we all :D
As for the Tolkien debate, ents sneak in as anent...
Hi All - looking for the 3rd Ne6. I have the tidy one and the close one. Any clues for the last one?
Hi Dianne! another close one. in a different tense.
renee - big DUH to me. Thanks.
you're welcome! i like seeing the hk flag up there. ;)
Yeah, nothing can stop an ent :)
O.K. on to the i words - in4 - I have the measurement one - what the onter one? TIA
Not wanting to move.
i5/10
a dolphin!
i 4/4
My bad... you are looking for a 4, not a 5 :(
I got it just after I sent my post - finihed those 4 off :)
ohmygod. there are SO many t's.
I need 2 more. Shall I post a list after I finish them?
Wh6 - I have the cry baby one - any clue for the other?
what the crybaby does
verb form of what she does.
Patrice - I can not believe that I did not put that in right away. I better check all my words for the plurals. Thanks.
Dianne, I always do that. When I am near finishing, I check the list, not looking at the grid, and I ALWAYS find missing plurals, singulars and verb forms. And such. :)
hmm. i'm missing an Na 4/5 and Na 5/12. any clues?
Nope. Nothing. Not a single one.
morning all, I've been lurking for a bit, na4 is an ointment and na5 is to do with the nose
Well, my time's up at 84 words (only 222 left to find, whoo-hoo!)... must get a few more hours of sleep before the household awakens... later!
ferrari - i have those two already. anymore?
Sleep well, Jera. Are you sure, ferrari? I have an NA combo 4-5 that is really nothing.
YES! thank you sprite! i got it now!
LOL! What did you think, that I was being rude? ;)
nono. just thought that you didn't have the word. ;)
:)
I'd missed the fact that there were 4 x na, have got them, thanks sprite.
I just found my final E. And yes, it was the most obvious one of them all. The every one. Babble makes me eat humble pie...
only r's, s's, and t's left now!
Great going! I only need some more As and Ds. So together we have them all!
same here renee ... might be done by lunchtime :)
Hello all...how many words are in today's puzzle?
Hi LaVerne... only 306 today :)
only 306? I have been lucky to make 70 on any given day and I thought I had a large vocabulary LOL Thanks
Done! 306 words / 5.33 / 5125 points today. Anyone who needs a clue?
wow sprite, you are awesome! I'm struggling with a couple of r words, re5/14 and re6/24 - I'm sure they're obvious & linked but I can't see 'em!
I'm sure I need a clue or two, but I think I will try to make it on my own...for a little while anyway ;-)
won't take aread or arear, and I've still 50 to go, groan
yes please sprite - sc7/36 please - & many congratulations to you!!
LaVerne....don't fret...always thought i was competitive and an excellent wordsmith til I started playing babble....initially got very frustrated(don't use any help,apart from the odd clue here and there) and now enjoy myself by finding all the words I can,plus guessing a few.It means i never (well once) finish a puzzle but it's OK...... HI Sprite :)
zoom the sc 7 is an extension of sc5/12, it's a type of socket for tv's etc
Re5/14 and 6/24 are linked, but not obvious. Think of the 'break' re-word that isn't there and then double the middle consonant in stead.
thanks ferrari :) how're you doing with this monster grid?
Sc7/36 builds on Sc5/12. Think of connecting a dvd player to the tv. Then past tense.
Thanx sprite, very helpful. I should have had a closer 'look round'!
hi Tbear!
zoom, 50 to go, how about you?
ferrari - got 179 so many millions to go,lol i'm presently stumbling around the Fs without bumping in to many of them at all!
I've just realised my name's nearly there
ferrari...I'm almost there without my b
Ferrari, that was the very first thing I saw when I started this morning :) The Fs are overall not strange words. There is this plural related to light and some sh*tty stuf, but the others are pretty common. Good luck hunting!
Help - I'm going bananas looking for the Re 8 and 2nd Re7 (I have the perusers one). Any clues? Nudge?
wow - (almost) fame at last ferrari. found the Fs - isn't it strange how you can look at this grid for so long without seeing things and then they jump right out at you?!
tell me about it zoom
Dianne, you may need to go back over the steps you've already taken ...
dianne, you re7 your steps
Dianne: for the Re7, think of hunting and what you should do with your steps if you get lost. The Re8 is the plural.
Chessy, Ferrari and Sprite - thank you all so much. Can't believe I didn't see those.
I couldn't find the E4/6, so I am right with you. :)
time for a break - see you all later:)
The first E4/6 that is.
bye zoom
E4/6 - hello - hello - hello
Sprite - I gave you the hint for the other one - what you are looking for is "per person".
Looking for the last CH5. I have the spine one, the Marx brother one and the dishes. What am I missing?
Dianne, plural of your ch4/7, sounds like baby hens ...
Chessy - I didn't know that you could have more than one of those - thanks.
dianne, little hens, it doesn't seem as if it's possible to have such a word
O.K. what about the 2nd Ch6 - I have the more fashionable one.
more spines dianne ...
pluralise your spine dianne
HELP I've been at this for hours Found more than 150 words But only 3 8's and no 9's someone must take pity on me . I need clues!!!!!!!
I think ch5/16 + a should be a "fashionable non-jewish woman"
Chessy & sprite - I was typing it just as Chessy posted - got to remember to try the S with everything in the neighborhood. Thanks.
Ok, I've gone back over my steps (check!) but can't find the pursuers ... how blind am I?
amanda, are you looking for pursuers or perusers?
amanda, you tr5 an outline then re7 it
Oh dear, am I so blind that I'm reading the post wrong? Let me check ... yep, I am. Ok, so I'm off looking for perusers now...
GOT IT!!! Got to remember to twist things the other way around...
wh4/14 is not the way I'm used to spelling it!!!
may I have a clue for the co/8 and co/9 please
I have the a9/60. may I have a clue for the a8/40. Need to take a break but want to have at least 100 words under my belt.
Good morning everyone from finally somewhat sunny Vermont. 133 words and in my usual morning peril of trying to type while the cat lurks, insisting that this always used to be his time for breakfast. It lends a certain je ne sais quoi to the game to play while avoiding being bitten.
Still missing 4 w's I've got: the bush 4 variations on the crybaby the noise, the genius, the castle 4 variations of starting involuntarily 2 variations of what it's too early to start drinking any help?
eva - i've learned to feed the cats first then they'll leave me be (for the most part)
periwinkle your ar8 is a poisonous salt
periwinkle - the co's are spanish Julia Childs
ferrari, well that clue really helps me :0). Will keep looking.
can't seem to get the right spelling for the co words
amanda there are 2 wr5/18's
ferrari...thx for the 'and old lace' clue
i really should feed him first, much kinder, but once I go downstairs I also have to feed the stove, and it's soooo cold. Anyway, your example of cat tending has shamed me into taking a break and digging out the disgusting stuff he now (thanks to the "alternative" vet we have switched to) eats....all kinds of lovely raw ground up critters, bones and all. He thinks it's the cats meow.
periwinkle, there's a film "ar7 and old lace"
ferrari, found the ar/7. thanks
eva - but that's great! not that we've made that step yet with the raw diet. we're all on one floor here so once i'm out of bed there's no peace til i feed them
co8/9, think mathematical term with a c instead of an s, then add a long time- your er4/4
what is it with you other cat people....mine have permenant supply of their dried food (biscuits) and never bug me for food...Once in a blue moon I take pity on them and give them some wet food...and I adore mine
ferrrari - ok, found them. The first one makes sense, the second one...?
finally found the co8 and 9 with the help of Yahoo Spanish/English online dictionary. Made it one of my favs
Eva! Good morning!!! hugs for hungry Merk! Have a nice day!!!!
amanda, if you mean the wr's just change last letter
sorry...didn't mean to sound soooo finger wagging,but with two teenage girls as well,couldn't bear cats nagging me too....:)
no offense ~ we're out numbered here tbear (six to two). Poo spoils them all to the point of celebrating their birthdays!
Sorry, that was unclear. Meant I got them both, just don't know what the second one could mean. If the root is the adjective (that isn't there), how do you get that out of it?
Although it's some extra work, it does seem to make sense that cats are not meant to eat cooked food filled with grains. But the hardest part is that he is used to self-feeding from dry food in his bowl all day, and now he only gets food twice a day, plus he loves crunchy stuff Iso I guiltily (imagining justifying myself to the young, purist vet at the next visit) sneak him a very little bit of the old dry stuff as a treat (the old quality vs quantity of life debate). Had that same quandary when we moved here from the city re whether to let him go out on his own or not. He'd love it, but my neighbor's cats are always getting eaten by coyotes, fisher cats, racoons, bear, and we decided on caution. I heard the coyotes make a kill about 20 feet from the house the other night and was so glad I new where the cat was.
heaven knows amanda, babble weirdness again
ok...so if babble allows co8 and co9 then why won't it allow the place where the co8 and co9s do their thing...co6???????
Good morning Elena! No offense taken tbear. If we had children around I'm sure I'd just turn the cat loose on the basement and let him fend for himself, but as he is our only "child" we can devote more time and energy.
Still missing 2 w's - time to go to the stats and start monkeying...
I'm stuck (big time) on the ar8 -- any clues beyond "poisonous salt?"
Patrice, if you have the poisonous ar7/32 (clues earlier in log), then ar8 starts with the same 6 letters ...
Eva I can promise you THIS bear would only ever kill a cat with slobbery kisses and snuggles.... your environment really isn't puddy tat friendly..... cats don't mind being in tho...mostly mine are lazy & warmth loving,I have to push them out for a bit each day....like a constitutional airing
patrice take the first 5 letters of the poison then you eat it!, then you can say " i a** that
ok, puzzle is printed - we're off to the laundry mat. catch you all later
sorry Patrice, first 5 letters ...
Thank you!!!!
Oh tbear be careful of too much dried food I lost a much loved cat years ago due to kidney failure and my vet said dried food was one of the causes. Later lost two siamese in awful circumstances, one was savaged by a greyhound and the other died of cancer. So I bought a cockatoo to avoid more heartache. I now worry about what will happen to her when I pop my clogs, fortunately my younger son loves her so I think she will always be a pampered pet. I still hanker for another siamese though. Got side tracked there!!!back to Babble eh
Yay! Got them! What a w6/30 I am!
what is the second letter of the w6/30 please
It's a wi, periwinkle. Nescafe, Nascar, nascent - oh, I wish...
MU..it gets so confusing...my last three vets advocate dried food with wet food as a treat. Had my last cat til 20 with over active thyroid for last 5 yrs,healthy as hell on white fish and biscuits. Another cat I had never ate biscuits and had rotten teeth,which affected his kidneys!! P.S. we had a siamese when I was small,Alice of Kenmare....they are extraordinary aren't they!
No sea nymphs either. Ok, I give up - any hints for the second ni5/12 and the 6/21?
Ok, what's the name of the law that says "you find it as soon as you ask for help"?
amanda, your brother/sister's daughter/s ...
tbear. Re Siamese they really are wonderful animals our two used to follow my husband around like dogs, one was A lilac point (minew) and Simon was a seal point, He was the naughty one, always getting into scrapes Minew was the sedate lady who died of cancer It was such a heartbreak to lose them both I haven't had another cat in 16 years but boy! do I covet my brothers Siamese It's just a good job I live at the other end of the country to them
Mu...our girl was a chocolate....siamese are so dog like aren't they..Ours used to knock on the front door by lifting the knocker and letting it fall,to come in. It really spooked my mother,who took ages to work out who the ghost was! They cry like babies when in heat! The worst is when they are unwell they easily get a death wish....my mother and i sat up for 48 hours syringing fluid into Alice sad cos she could have survived. They are gorgeous,character cats. All mine have been moggies from rescue centre since...fulfils my nuturing tendencies,which teenagers don't!! lol
still 65 to go - off for lunch but will be back later!
Love the chat about cats. Mad about them! My two (at the moment) are both british short-hairs (Ivy [black] & Sparky [silver tabby])- very cuddly!
tbear. I'm sure you get so much love from your orphan? cats, and I would (and have done in the past) give a home to any stray that appeared. But since we got the bird I can't encourage them the way I used to. I was very surprised to discover that parrots love a cuddle too and ours has really become family, we've had her fourteen years now (so I have teenager as well) and I would hate to be without her. Often tempted to try her with a kitten but I'm outvoted when I suggest it. Keep trying the I'll have one for xmas but I hasn't worked yet lol
any clues on the en's before I start monkey typing?
got 'em!
good. Now how's about a clue? ;-)
amandacath onlu two en words to find one 5 letter and one 6
one is "growing outwards", the other is what Babble does to your vocabulary
Morning all. Just logged in and was delighted to see chat from some of you who, like me, are cat lovers. I have two cats -- brothers, 4 yrs old, who have been my life since losing my husband last year. Now, sadly, one has been diagnosed with cancer and it's a matter of days. So, as you fellow cat lovers can imagine, it's a very sad time. May need some support from my Babble friends when my poor Sammie's time comes, and glad to know there are others who share my love for these wonderful animals.
Thanks amandacath, got one, now looking for the other. Too early!!!
Darleen, is that Cap'n Mal?
yup! I have a MAD crush on Nate. (blush)
Don't blush - you're not alone. Haven't seen the movie yet, it hasn't made it to Germany - except for a press release, which a friend got to see -- I'm green with envy.
The movie is pretty good. I rated it a B-. I couldn't believe it was 2 hours long, though. Some GREAT scenes.
Speaking of Nate (heh heh) you DID know he is having a major love thing with Summer, didn't you? So sad.
No, didn't know that, but I try to keep away from the gossip. Makes it easier to maintain the willing suspension of disbelief. My cruch is on Mal, not Nate, if you know what I mean.
Gotcha. I "inferred" from several pics I've seen. Nate is all over the girl. He is totally smitten. So you like Mal, eh? Had to laugh at an interview where Gina said that Mal and Nate are alike because they're both "moral." Mal??? Moral??? Was she watching the series she was in?
Guess it would depend on one's definition of moral...???
Well, he's a thief. A liar. A murderer. Not very moral in my book. But I still like him.
Yeah. Me too!
to you cataholics: am a HUGE dog person but have to admit love for a friend's big furry black cat, Spink, who has won me over with her dog-like ways! :-)
Hi Une -- I'm a dog lover, too. But since I have to travel some with my job, cats are a bit easier. They're all wonderful companions, though, aren't they?
yes they are--don't know what I'd do without my two sweet rescue dogs!
Help, please? te6/21 and te7/32
hey...had lunch...and you're still talking animals...great
Une -- I don't know how my Scotch is going to do when his brother, Sammie, is gone. We've had them since they were 9 wks old and they've always been together. The few days Sammie was at the hospital for diagnostics, Scotch kept looking for him around the house.
FYI te4, te5, te6 x 2, and te7 all start with the same four letters
patrice...te6/21 sounds like it should be torn not te past tense...hope that makes sense
know what you mean, Cathy--when my mom's springer died at 16, his son looked for him for days and days
ok, i'll stop--i could talk about dogs all day long!
that's the good thing bout cats....as soon as one departs,the one that's left think....yay....now I'm TOP dog ooops cat and promptly settles into prime positions around the house....I love them for their selfishness
I'VE FINISHED, got caught by the French river (again) and lassoed (literally) by the 2 spellings of that ri/re5/10. Anybody need juicy clues?
LOL!
my sister has just got a 9 week old German Shepherd (that doesn't look right), he's gorgeous
thanks for the encouragement. tbear, I know what you mean and I don't think Scotch will have any problem as he already thinks he's top cat. Curled up now between me and my keyboard which makes Babbling even more challending :)
see, even my typing is less accurate ... meant challenging :)
How many words today?
306, stats are at babbler's anon
Cath....why is it they pick the silliest (read....where will I get the most attention)(or look the cutest) place...and if it happens to be on you,you'll sit without moving for hours (read no feeling in legs)
Thanx. I am at 298, I better go check
cathy, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's illness. It is indeed heartbreaking, and often not understood by non-animal people, that our "pets" are often the least ambivalent relationships we have, and very deep. Love is love. Our cat, Merp, is a gorgeous, long-haired tuxedo cat with a lot of Maine Coon cat in him - so stockily built, doglike devotion, not much of a lap cat, but always right by one's side, very mischieveous ...prone to jumping out from places to nip my ankles and then grinning as I scream.
ok, see you all later
morning all - it's Mrs. S. How is everyone doing?
Some kindly help, PLEASE??? I'm stuck on my last 4 words -- ta6/21 & ta 7/32 and te 6/21 &te 6/32, both from the T on the bottom left.
Not doing at all well, only 54 so far, that won't get me a gold star. The T's and S's are so confusing. Keep looking for hints, but all I can see are cats and dogs.
well, ladies, I wish I could help. "The Dog" (my husband) started this last night, but he doesn't have those you're looking for Patrice.
Hi Mrs S......and yr Canine....
S'dog is still sleeping - otherwise he'd take over the computer and try to make people laugh. (like last night if any of you were around for that.)
tbear - you're right. I'll sit and hold them for hours. In fact, just went to check on Sammie and hold him for a few minutes. Can tell he's getting much weaker. Eva, thanks for your note. Nice to have some fellow animal lovers to chat with. But this is such a big puzzle today, I'd better get busy working on it if I have a prayer of finishing!
how many words?
306 dylan
sit down...306
thanx smeltzdog
i have spent my alloted 45 min. Time to go feed the dawgs..and fill pool..117 words..and it might be all I do today..Good luck , all.
babbled off...and have babble leg,it's the one i sit on to play and it goes completely dead,bit like the brain...see you later guys...xx
woohoo, got my first 9 letter word
bye liana & tbear -- see you later !
Good morning everyone.
morning cyber
Bye tbear. thanks for the pet chat It was refreshing
afternoon all - enjoying the grid? if anyone's feeling generous, i'm needing some help with an se6/21 please?
zoom - i only have one of them...the past tense of se4/4 - or pan se**** chicken.
thanks smeltzdog, i have that one too & a lot of Ooops besides, lol.
Good afternoon everyone :) zoom- think sitting :)
hi lola, got that one too, but thanks.
zoom - there's a strange se6/21 - add a dimunitive of second to a diminutive of Ernie ;)
Thanks sherb :)
yay sherb - that was the one:)) thank you!
oh by the way, afternoon all :)
hello all...hi lola
Hey Sis, how you doing? I`m on a swift visit to add a few more words, but going out soon. It`s my daughter Sharlott`s 10th birthday (she`s the one born at PMU)
Hi baggo, how you doing? (((x))) for yesterday :(
Hi sis :) Give my niece a big birthday hug then, lol!
Hi Baggo, I love that icon it reminds me of art at school when we used to wax crayon in all colours on top of foil, then scratch it off.
(((xx))) back at you for yesterday...i can't quit cryin and thinking about her...then that darn salad is in the puzzle...I guess it's a way to send good vibes to sarah and richard... hey lotti
I know baggo, me too. Made me realise how amazing the friendships on here are though.
why did I start this???? Its going to screw my ratings! Wait - what am I saying - ratings? Last time I looked I was at about no 200 anyway. So who cares! Fun is better than ratings any day!
I know...I couldn't play yesterday...and I went back and read the log, and I felt bad for you guys and I wasn't here to help..:(
It`s pretty incredible to think of all the good wishes and support you get, from people you don`t even know from all over the world at sad times like these eh!?
lol Atlante...I didn't even realize how many words there were on here till you just came on...what was i thinkin?
Aw, thanks baggo, must say I did miss you. But we kept things very quiet on the log.
I'll tell you guys when I went south, it was tough, and I felt like I had good thoughts with me, and I'm convinced that they came from people on this site...my friends on both sides of the pond rock...
sorry everyone, I just realised i've been tapping away for about 1/2 an hour and not said good afternoon to you all
Hi atalante, play for fun, not the silly rankings! lol! You are so right sis. Someone said yesterday that it was the sort of thing that restores your faith in your fellow man.
lol jakes-mum I did the same!
hey jakes mum...
Here, here Baggo and long may it continue!!! (((((xx))))) Hugs all round xx
Good morning all
baggo- we thought of you every day :) Hi doll, how you doing?
LOL Lola, I've *never* played for the rankings. I think I've only looked at them about twice over the last year!
***grabs cases of champers...glasses...and loads of kleenex...*** (toasts and hugs all around!!!)
Thanks sis (((((x))))) Hi speed :)
It`s true Lola....world leaders could learn a thing or two from us ha ha!!!
i/m fine lola how are you all?
do any of us really play for the rankings??? hey speed... come to think of it maybe I should run for president...can't do much worse could I???
atalante- I only took notice of the rankings the one time I managed to make it into the top 10. But that was probably because I've never been in a top ten of anything ever before, lol!!!
I`d better go and get the hair straighteners on the job. Speak to you guys later. Take care all :o)
Hey. Been Babbling like crazy. Just on 2nd cup of coffee. Good Sunday to all.

sorry about your loss speed
speed-- sorry for your loss. Makes you appreciate how quickly things can change. Poof.

gnubee...is there a game we're supposed to be playing...lol (don't have it mate)
I'm sorry doxy1 give her an extra hug and her husband from all your new friends in babble land
Chin always up, then something whacks it. Y'know, I've tried keeping a stiff upper lip, my chin up, and my eyes forward; I walk into things and it's tough to read.
doxy..my sympathies.
the only problem is we were told we are not invited to the funeral. My son in law is an SOB
doxy1 -- my sympathies, too. sad weekend around Babbleland, isn't it?
Oh, Doxy-- Sorry.
it is cathy isn't it...***opens bag choclates meant for trick or treaters and passes it out***
only 9 I am missing is the co9 went back and read clues but not getting it...
Anybody have any good news? Something?
he's been like this for the 8 years they have been married. She has finally been coming around the last few years. I feel like I'm back to square one again.
yea, it's me. told mamabear yesterday I was hoping these big eyes might make finding words easier ... but can't say it's doing the "trick." so, guess I'll just "treat" myself to some your chocolate :) thanks!
Hey, Baggo, seems something serious is up, but I didn't catch specifics. Someone injured or ill?
chocolate sounds good, but I'm off to make french toast for breakfast.
i may have a new job in the emergency room at our big hospital here...i interview wednesday, wasn't gonna say...but what they heck...i need ya help on wednesday...babies are gettin to me too much and after 15 years think it's time for a change...(not much but it's something cheerful)
I'll try to get on later. Everyone have a good day.
good luck baggo
bye doxy... gnubee...a girl that babbles lost her baby... :(
ER cheerful? Good job vibes on Weds.
bye doxy :) hey baggo, good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)
Baggo: All our positive energy will be sent you way on Wednesday...We will pray for your new job!:)
with a puzzle this large I may be able to break 1000 pts for the first time wehew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi peeps!! ;) can sum1 help plz? I got a half decent score for my 1st time yesterday, why was my score not on the board?? ty!! Kewl game by the way!!
joel...i'd rather have limbs off...and well lots of people use it as the doctors office around here...
Anyone out there with the co9 have an hour to get as much done as possible
baggo -- I commend anyone that can work in a hospital, especially er. Have spent way too much time in there when my husband was ill, and I don't know how you nurses do it. But hats off to you all. You don't get near enough credit for what you do. Best of luck.
you have to get three scores before you are rated
Can anyone give me a hint for the da 7/21? Thanks!
serski: if i remember correctly you have to play 3 games before you are posted?
hi serski :) you have to play three games before a score appears, but this game is so addictive, that shouldn't be a problem ;)
I'm just thinking of an old friend who did a round of interning at a Det. ER. He told stories that were horrible. But that's not the point. Good job vibes on Weds.
ty, jrinehart!!
speed let me go alooking for it...
any help on the last two ca's
C8/50 Mexican word for kitchen, modified n the english fashion to mean a place that sells kitchen stuff. c9/66 plural
dalmatian - there are two 7/32's and a 7/36 but no 7/21
dalmation add to da4/5 when you go out with a boy or a girl it is called a da--
Thanks for filling me in, Baggo. That's tough one. I'll be praying for the family and that your interview goes well.
oops that was da6/21
ty sherb, ur correct it in being no prob getting a rating, i'm addicted to word games!! ty once again
Baggo- I will think good luck thoughts for you all day on Wednesday :) I lost my dad in February this year and I don't know what I'd have done without the nurses in the ER.
gnubee- there is a condolence thread under general at babblers anon if you want to leave them a message.
Oops - the one I need is the first one - the da 7/32.
ty, Lola
morning all any advice on the wi 1/7
the wi7-- There were lots of them today when they saw the word count.
Thanks Brandyjack, but I have'nt spent much time in spanish speaking countries - have no idea what mexican for kitchen is - been monkey typing around what makes sense to me, but to no avail.
great clue brandyjack!! speed think choclate money (spanish style)
Got it on a new variation!
I'm looking at the Spanish word for kitchen. It's the English variation that's making me nuts.
joel=-take out the H and use variations of that
Well, I got the "h" out of there. I'll have to do some monkey typing. "Oh, Bonzo, get over here!"
joel- the word actually means a person that cooks. If that helps any
johnp-- bada bing!
Ahh. Great Joel!
Wow that one took 10 minutes of monkey typing!!
2 more words and I'm taking a break. Anyone know the word count today>? I've just been blindly babbleing around
jp-- 306. You might wanna rethink that break.
306 - phew!
johnp: it's a whopping 306
Knew it had to be alot if I could get this many just hopping around randomly. When I get the big ones easily (and when there are lots of s,d, re's) I know it is a biggy. Well I'm off to be productive - at least briefly. Have fun all
dalmatian - da7/32, where cows are relieved ;)
Anybody know the wi6/30. Last w and it's making me nuts.
sorry joel, i'm not even through the a's yet...
baggo-- well, start from the bottom. Geez!
joel - wi 6/30, another name for a smoked sausage ;)
yah joel...what sherb said...lol
226 words - off to cook tea!
Baggo I was going to start at the a's but when I couldn't find the first ac7 I gave up LOL
it must be a variation because I tried the spelling for the sausage and zip.
ok, what a geek i am, I found that ac first, which is what sent me there...it's the as...that are kickin my butt...but alas...i'll have to find them at somepoint...lol
joel - my icon should help you. it doesn't end in r.
joel, try spelling it kiddie fashion at the end.
joel - try an ending that makes it sounds smaller ;)
A teeny sausage. I mustard up the courage and found it. My condiments to those who helped. I was focused on the route to the "r" at the end.
eennie...w...miney moe....
still stumped by wi 7 - it's making me loopy
LOL
lol joel....
I relish all your help. Now I can ketchup.
joel your killin me....lol
dear loopy - wi7, pl of wi6...
LOL joel!
***tosses a' and moves to end of alphabet*** will it help me any better????
I'm so proud. I've managed to create world wide wi7/48.
ok I got the wi6/30 but also cannot make it plural (do you guys have different letters)
baggo-- I knocked off most "w" words relatively quickly. Find a couple and you'll knock off several more.
opk, well i hope you know i feel like i've jumped outta the box, going to the end...total anal woman here...
It's the w6/33 that can pluralize. I don't think you can do that w/the w6/30.
baggo-- it's good for you. Besides, shouldn't an anal person start at the end?
There are two wi6/33's, only the first one can plural...
omg....roflmao...
baggo... z'a are much nice than a's...
oooh joelgee: lol
jeez jera......forgot about those...
well i found the wh6/33 and 7/48 since i've been doin that for the last bit...(pot callin kettle black)
evanonut, the wi7 is a group that wi6/33's
need the TE6/21 & TE7/32 that are together
Good morning all. Has anyone posted clues for the 7s, 8s, and 9s? Bandyjack was kind enough to do so yesterday. wondered if he or someone did so today.
deutsch...absolutely beautiful icon... :-)
Hello Mom? It snowed in Boston last night! I hope its not happening in the Esko, MA area! Happy Halloweenie to all!
thank you, baggo
I found it for yesterday.
you know maybe we should all switch to angels for when they come back on???
Interesting idea, baggo.
how many words can be found for this puzzle? i only got 85!! i'm stuck!
did it really snow in boston last night? im in the berkshires and there wasnt a trace.....high 50s today!
serski-- close. 306

n e 1 in from the UK?
Hi Deutsch :) Clues for the 9's: as 9 60 so sure ca 9 60 child of Cleopatra and Julius ca 9 60 a compound of ca6 21 co 9 66 Spanish cook re 60 stops flames
i knew this had to be a big puzzle.....it seemed so easy at first!
sherb, thanks so much!
I'm back. Thanks for relishing the clues for me. That really helped. Was the only w I was missing.
Really struggling with this one -- does anyone have a clue for the ai6?
thanks sherb....
wi 6/30 - Oscar Mayer product - kids' spelling
It's lighter than, more so for ai6
cybernan...if you are outside...wind is blowing it would be ai...than being in the house...windows open let wind in (another word)...it's ai...than if the windows were shut...
of course!!! -- thank you - send over the fish
Sherb -thanks for the great clue. You have been providing lots of good info.
wot r all the numbers for? i'm new DOH!!
y/w dalmatian :)
serski - for example, wi6/30 - w is the letter the word starts with, 6 is the number of letters in the word, and 30 is the number of points scored with that word...see Babble Rules at the top of the page for more info :)
I'm finding this very difficult, I wish I hadn't started. After hours of slogging, I still only have 58 words, got really bogged down with the t's
ty sherb;-D
YOOHOO ... done! And this is absolutely all I have accomplished today. Total 306 / 5.33 / 5125. Must hurry off and go visit my mom for lunch but will try to get back later and help. Good luck all !
Ex wren. keep going you'll get there eventually
congrats cathy....see ya later...
way to go cathy
SOS on the CH's. I've got CH5's that mean dishes and a spine or ridge and the plural of the spine or ridge (CH6) but I am missing and cannot find 2 more CH5s and one CH6 on A2Z
KJS - may be the plural and comparative of a ch4/7?
KJS - think of slang term for girl, and even Spanish for boy ... then try several variations on that theme
...and one of the Marx Brothers :)
good one, Sherb ... didn't think of that :)
Ah. "Light dawns on marble head."
Any clues for the Oc 5/12 and theOc 7/36?

Take care and enjoy the day, maybe catch you later!
I need help with the ca9: child of Cleopatra and Julius. When I Goggled it I found a word that does not fit in this puzzle. Is it an alternat spelling?
yep, you have to lose the "i"
ca9 is a variant spelling for a birth procedure
oops, i don't mean lose it, i mean change it to another vowel
see ce8
any one know how many words today???
306 MICA
MICA - 306 with five 9's

peri - there are 2 - the other is a compound of the ca6/24

go to the babblers anonymous link to the left, then click general, then click stats for today's puzzle.
bubbles, I love your icon. He's my favorite.
Oh shame, hope he feels better soon. I'm doing okay thanks :)
then you can get the list that says zi 4/10, etc. it's easiest to start out with the 4/4s because then you can "monkey type" and guess until you get it.

tbear, no champers tonight. Still a bit sad. But will party again soon, okay?
*sigh* I'm stuck with all the difficult ones. This puzzle will never be over, there are far too many combinations.
Hi baggo :)
there should be extra points for the scariest halloween icon tomorrow! Whoever gets the scariest icon gets an extra 100 points!
hello lola... dachef...watch out i'll bring my moon lady out, and she's pretty scary...
nenaluli: I think you are looking for the hot dog with an ie ending.
wi 6/30 - what goes in the hot dog bun - kids' or slang word
bobsta any reason for that particular icon?
hot dogie?
tbear - you should post the icon of the cat dressed in a bonnet. That one stil gives me nightmares.
hallowe'en. its death from discworld on his horse, binky.
Yay! Thank you so much :) I'm only missing a Wi 6/30 now. Not a derivative of Wi 5/20...
Don't you have hot dogie, joel?
right!!
Have you guys seen the bat girl icon Anj found for me? It's on babblers anon. Do you think I should wear it tomorrow??
Dachef...saving that one for yr birthday
It's a personal thing.
The "T"s are driving me nuts! Any clues for ta 6/18 - the first one, ta 7/28, ta6/21 or ta 7/32?
anybody have any z words, hints?
the z words....think mineral
For z, think metal. It's in the periodic table of elements :)
lola...what's it under.. i'll go look
off again, ironing to do. probably read you all tommorrow
baggo- it's on the photo/pictures thread.
Hey bubbles, would you do mine while you're at it??
Ta, Bubbles.
see you later bubbles
BYE Bubbles x
see ya bubbles...btw you should see if dr_g would let you be bubbles, i know the first one and she has a different name on her now... i'm off to see lola's icon...
ok send it across x
My idea of ironing is throwing two dewrinkle sheets in the dryer.
bye bubs. x
Aw, you are too sweet! See you later bubbles :)
thanx stillcrazy!!!
got the z words!!
see you all later. Bye bob x
*lola covers her eyes while bobsta and bubbles say their goodbyes*
For z also think a dietary supplement. Dachef, hilarious you are. I do love what you've done with your icon. And Bobsta, I always like your icons, but I often don't know what they are. You look like a sack with legs. Which is ok. Honestly. I look more like a green donkey than an orchid today.
What do you think of my new Logo?
nice one lola...leave it to anj to come up with that...i think you should go for it...i thought about getting my blue haired princess back out...
i like joel's icon.
hee hee!
i like it tbear
tbear you're scaring me...
den-- Thanks. I stumbled on it. It called to me.
'scuse me. Nen.
baggo- the blue hair is my second fave! The whale wins hands down though! So should I surprise him with it tomorrow? lol!
Sorry dalmatian - haven't got that far... Working on the re's - clue for re6/24 anyone?
Nena :) I'm a girl.
hello all. :)
hey evanadine
most definitely....should i change to the whale for today...and blue tomorrow? first will anyone get offended if i "save the whales"????
Hi evanadine :)
hey evanadine...
hi chris, hi lola... how are we all today?
hello to you too baggo. :)
im good how are you?
Well baggo, you know I won't be offended! :)
everyone all geared up for halloween?!
the first two ta words start out with ta and another vowel
that vowel being the 5th letter of the alphabet
yes, i think your humor and mine is about the same...id bobsta...bubbles dark night with his new icon? i just went to images to get it and there's a necked woman holding a baby whale...not there before think anj has been there...lol
hello thar evanadine, no halloweening here.
Here are some words ac4/5 da4/5 da4/5 ea 4/4 fe4/7 ra4/4 ri4/5 ri5/ 12 se4/4 ta4/4 te4/4 wi4/8 zi4/10 hopefully this will help you!
Cybernan - sounds like where younger school kids go to play between classes.
cybernan...have u found that re6/24 yet...stumping me!!
baggo- lol! Wouldn't surprise me ;D
i don't get it?
ok lola i did it....refresh...
Binky!
sorry brain dead, read it again and got it D'oh
you are a knight right on that horse??? or are ya the headless horseman???
dalmation...you're a star...ta
tbear the word right after the te 6/24 word ...double the third letter and add a vowel before the last letter.
That's Death on his white horse, Binky.
i know, i'm a twit!
Woo! Go baggo, LOL!
tbear, you've gone all googly eyed!
You may be a twit, but you're darned good at it. Besides 3/4 of being a twit is being a wit.
this might help you tbear it is slang for recon, sorry people i`m gonna tell him the third letter C.
Just so everyone knows i just did it to be light hearted and meant no offense to anyone...
Joelgee: fank yoo. LOL
there is no te 6/24
baggo!
Good point joel...must remember that the next time I have a ditz moment!
any clue de6/21 afore i turn into a twit...lol
God, I'm so stuck. I can't even follow the conversation. Time to go get some food. BBS.
Lola-- Just remember that 3/4 of ditz is . . . Never mind.
Just refreshed Baggo: ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
baggo- d and two of what you are now pointing at us! lol!
oh gosh I meant the re 6/24...soooo sorry!!!
joel- lol! :D
baggo- sorry! Thats the dr6/21....and there's lola's latest ditz moment!
wr 5/18 I don't have the letters to spell what I do with my hands when I'm worried.... What's my problem?
both wr words are derived from the word wry
whewww causemy mind went straight to the gutter, and nothin was workin...
baggo- de6/21, add a vowel to the de5 that sounds like getting rid of vermin.
Geez Baggo :) My mind is in the gutter now too.
Man this is sooooo difficult today....i keep leaving and coming back...
Yes, I got the Wr words. Just didn't understand the clue! Oh well.
baggo - perfect icon. actually, that looks a little like my ma.
Dachef!!
ty lola...got it...dachef...who do ya think gave me the pic...lol
I'm so frustrated; I've refreshed three times, baggo, and you still look your ethereal self. Must try once more.
hope shes not playing tonight - i might have just lost my inheritence!
om goodness....so sorry mom dachef....***face extremely reddened at moment***
*drools* i got me some girl scout cookies today. :D
Wi 6/33! I know there are 3 of them, but I have both of the derivatives from wi 5/20. I just need one more Wi!
hello dachef - what inheritance??????????????????? ???????????? You've just blown it BIG TIME!!!!!
o dear...... oops.
can anyone give me clues for de 4/5 and de 8/45?
de 4/5 how you might start a letter
(dachef: here is where you say sorry)
good grief, I go to lunch and this is what I've come back to. lol
thanks ruby got it
Hello mrs dachef :) *lola sits back and waits to see how dachef gets himself out of this one*
My de** wife! I am so glad to come home to you. Or the other de 4/5? Sounds like deer, but reversed.
dachef...pick up the phone...and call....
erm...... sorry mum. Just for the record, baggos pic doesnt really look like my mum. Acctually, she is incredibly pretty and wonderful. Anyway, it cant be her cos she cant swim.
np fox
too late lesley - I'm about to go and book my world cruise and spend the lot.......if I can find it!
Dachef: LOL
nenaluli do you got clues to de 8/45? or the 2 ci words?
haha dachef is fu 6/33
Dachef! Did that nine year old you are minding get hold of your keyboard again? (Hint, hint)
Flowers would be a nice start...
fox think of the movies for ci
keep talking baggo........
The ci word is the word for movie in spanish. Also used as a prefix. Its plural is the other ci word. I don't have de 8 yet.
leslie- LOL!
mab - that would probably concern her even more!
choclates will work wonders....
I'm giving up....too many words...too little time,gunna watch a docu on Egypt...see u'll later x
nevermind the ci words i figured it out but not the de 8/45
nite tbear.... wash her car, and clean her house...dinner
'bye tbear :)
hang on mab - what do you know that I don't!!!!!!
see ya later tbear *waves*
<phones interflora and thorntons>
does anyone have de 8/45?
nena I think you need the WI 6 that goes in a bun with sauerkraut. Gotta go. Need to count my halloween treats and make sure I have at least 500. I like to have 600, just in case. It's a wild night in my neighborhood! Lots of kids who live in the country come into town and come to our street.....We complicate the matter by giving out glow sticks instead of candy. The kids love it and tell their friends!
that's a great idea, jane
'bye harpjane, have fun :)
Oh-oh. Have I complicated matters? You know, that precocious kid from next door who is in no way related to you, Dachef?
de pluse your ae6/18...
why isn't airnet a word?!
ah yes - thats the one, little bugger keeps crawling through my window and hacking into my computer. Alternatively, there seems to be some sort of weird virus on my computer that controls my keyboard and types things....
Okay. Brain has taken a little nap. Can't find the dr6/27. Little help, please.
honestly. I've only gotten 17 words in the last hour. I'm off to get some food and hopefully my head will think better.
dr6/27 anyone?? got the one that is what you do with water to someone ***dr6/27 dachef with water for the comment about his mum***
thanks for your help nenaluli
Not the soaking dr6/27
baggo, swap your n for an i :)
forget it dachef - I still can't forgive you for persuading me to upgrade. Now I know how many words I haven't got whereas before I babbled away quite happily...
Lola, Baggo, Joel - many thanks- I've been stuck on those too!
how many Z words today?
Wow - finished at last! Thanks for the help and chat during the past week. Back to work tomorrow [ugh!] so I'll have to curb the addiction! Watch my rating plummet!
doe anyone have de 8/45?????????????????????????? ?????
ugh...and that ones in puzzles often...thanks lola...couldn't see it, cause i'm phoning flowers et choclates to dachef's mum for my icon...lol
2 z words amy
foxy i just posted one...
Amy--only 2 Z words
thxd
Well done dippnall! :)
i can not get babble to take the sausage word for wi......any help? I hope im spelling it right
mum - have you upgraded? You should update your profile (top right) so you can get an icon and a little pink handbag.
ruby think of what you call people who won't go into haunted houses....
Rubie - I think you need to see my icon for inspiration
ruby -- its not an -er ending...i had that trouble too... try thinking of it more as a childish insult. ;)
...sort of rhymes with teeny....
as in L-7 we---- if anyone else used that slang at 12 years old :)
thanks baggo - the flowers are lovely - couldn't send me the clues for the 9's now could you ( as an extra present...)
lol i get the word i just cant spell it! sheesh
I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out the CE 8/45. I know it comes alphabetically after the CE 7/32 which I have. Any clues please?
...i before 3 especially after 'n', and 'w'
Ruby -- think more Internet Explorer ;)
wow I got over 1000 pts for the first time (shamelessly patting self on the back)
good job jrinehart
...sorry, should read' I' before 'E' .....
man i mustve taken a stupid pill today.....i get the i before e stuff.....im just getting very confused! lol
Well done jrinehart. I remember the joy and sense of acomplishment the first time I crossed the 1000 point mark.
i cant spell it either ruby any more help?
i am lost with that word!
boatierra: same as your 9 less a vowel.
first three letters are a female golfer, second three letters are the same after you switch out the first letter (boy did I make that confusing)
Ruby....it's not er at the end of the word
Ruby -- itty-bitty, teeny-wi****
it's another i before .....
good evening and how is everyone...too many words tonight and with only an hour or so not likely to make much of a dent but better than none as they say
ruby & foxy - w + (vowel rule) + consonant + (vowel rule)
evandine-- good one!
Hi cathb :)
great clue evanadine
woooooooohooooooooooo ty all!

my brain is sore

baggo - you're a star - I forgive you for everything!
hit refresh...i'm sure this is you with a wig on for halloween...right dachef?
baggo - that looks a bit more like her, minus the blue hair of course.
hey baggo do you have de 8/45?
yes add the de to your ae6/18
thank you so much ive been stuck but it was so easy!
what about ai 6/18?
Hey baggo, how did you know that I've just had a blue rinse? How do I get one of these icons then Dachef?
leen, if you go to google and lick on images, you put in anything you want, right click on properties, copy it, then come back and edit your profile...past it there, and then hit refresh when done...
leen - do a search for icons in another window - pick one and download it as a .gif file into "my pictures" Then click on update profile and insert.
ai 6/18 - lighter, as in a cake
I am missing the wi5/22, hints please

anyone less clueless than me about te 5/14?
the te 5/14 is a freshwater fish
who's got ca8?
cybernan te 5/14 is the same as tr 6/24 with one letter missing
wont some one help me?? :)
co9/66 - spanish cook I've read this clue over and over again and it seems like i've tried everything on the puzzle. Can someone dumb it down for me a bit.
would if i could robert, but i dont have it either
ca8?
yea same here jrinehart
ca8 has eluded me too.
ca8 - add ca to what you are when you sit down.
Ditto for me!
i started with the spanish for kitchen, but that didn't do it for me either
co+movie theatres, and change the last consonant
that was for ca9
which is a plural of ca8, but not the one i needed
:s
for the co 9, you can go to this web site and it will translate: http://babelfish.altavista.com /
robert240 - thanks for that clue - got it after ages!
aw ta leslieann wil av a try!!!
np
dachef-- thanks. not only got the ca, but several others that were swimming int he sea of obviousness
thanks for the help on co 9/66 Boy I made that difficult!!
Are te 6/18, 6/21 and 7/32 all based on the same word?
yay got co/9 finally!!!
had anyone here heard of a music program called Anvil?
are you there gotebrrabe?
my last c words ca 6/ 21 ca 7/ 32 ce 4/ 6 ce 6/ 21 ce 7/ 36 any help?
why is chinese not a valid word???
proper noun
oh well, have no hope of finishing this, i have to get up for work tomorrow so will give up gracefully, good luck everyone, hope you finish
well, I'm back, but who knows if this will be worth it..keyed in many words only to see the pc is not keeping up with me...cost me a completed puzzle last week!
just didn't think of that.... can i get a nudge on the co9 from anywhere -
my last c words ca 6/ 21 last one ca 7/ 32 last one ce 4/ 6 first one ce 6/ 21 first one ce 7/ 36 first one
I had the same problem with indian in another puzzle. When i say I am having chinese food I don't think I am using it as a propoer noun. Can someone please explain this to me!
smeltz, for your ca's, remember noah wyle from er? (dr. ca****?) and plural
co/9/50?
My poor son is going to have a stroke - the Broncos are beating his beloved Eagles (never mind that we live in Colorado and the entire rest of the family is rooting for the Bronco's)
guess I didn't know there was more than one vco 9 - yes - I'll take a nudge for that! :)
co 9, plural of co 8. Means - a cook. Think spanish word for kitchen, take out the H and moneky type around the definition
lol co/9/50 spanish for cook
co 9/50 is co 9/66 but not plural
jrinehart - you may not think they're pronouns, but they are...reference to any country or its inhabitants or its culture causes the Babble reference dictionary much constipation...
Any clues on the tr 4/4?
It's Sunday 104 words 1566 points A little English lesson I got me some good learnin in today!!!!!!
oh, and smeltz, two of the longer ce's have to do with like a ce***** knife (a ra 5/12)

en 6 24 anyone??
en + not poor
PAV- that's a tr 4/5. I need a 4/4. Thanks.
thanks robert
ha! i just got it jane. it's tr + an alien movie
0 words left -- hurrah!!! Many thanks for all the help -- will stick around for a little while to return the favour.
The tr8's are both plurals of their preceding tr7's. Those little ones in costume are trick or ******* People who attend water aerobics spend some time being t*******.
found them, thanks
cybernan -- got the 157 words im missing? hehe
tr 4/4 - trick or tr____, minus one vowel
ok - 2 words left - can someone help me? they are a TE6/21 and TE7/32 (they go between a TE6/18 and a TE5/10)
ca9/60 - child of Cleopatra and Julius Can someone please give me some additional help on this word (the long ones are killin me today)

jrinehart -- a type of childbirth
Leslie Ann, thanks. Saw that movie several times. Still missed it in the grid!
jrine - thinkthe birth of a baby
te 7/32 is plural of te 6/21: # of toes plus parks and r** (abbreviation)
I thought that was ce 8/45
cathb- I'm still slogging away! Not enjoying this one :/ Have a nice trip and say hi to snowy for me :)
Still having trouble with the last ca6, ca7. I didn't understand the barracks hint.
smeltz- a suitca... plus opposite of out for the 6
ooh, and if you change cybernan's clues for ta's to te's, you get two more words :)
it is, but Cae is another spelling
thanks Cybrenan! I could *swear* I'd already put those in - I wasn't looking for them anymore!
jrine- yes but use the alternate spelling of the salad/man and you get the 9
thanks for pitching underhand to me!!!
ca 9/60: add past tense of 'eat' to ca 6/21 before it
sorry johnp I need the last ca 6/ 21 ca 7/ 32
will do lola...only managed 69 words but better than nothing....hope the weather improves though its a long enough drive to manchester without the wind and rain.i will send snowy your regards

foxy lady, maybe this will help your monkey typing: et + vowel + consonant
foxy...en5 10......en+consumed food
lol. hmm, et + ** good ** it gets
foxy -- think of the E4 for chewing + swallowing food, then switch the middle 2 letters
okay everyone my brain has returned thanks for the clues....robert that nailed it!!!!!
yw
those are easy...et4 4 = four ltr word beginning with 'et' worth four points...each ltr tile has a point value...rules say hgow each word's point values add up...if you have the time, this is a grat place to waste it and learn a few things, people from all over the globe!!
do you have any simple clues for en 5/10?
Bye for now - back in 7 hours.
enuff already, by all

Er, can someone *looks pleadingly at pav* please help me with the re6/24?
ok ill try....think of solving a ca** and the credentials of a nurse
plural of re5/14, Lola
Thanks ruby!!! The hints I got before were for a different word.
Er, was hoping you wouldn't say that. I can't see re5/14, re6/24 or the re4/5 after them...mental block :/
good clue, ruby
smeltz-- I just came back. I haven't the faintest idea about where soldiers live either.
smeltsdog i mean it sounds like a 25 cent piece
yvw smeltz....god knows i am a lost soul at this....
sorry lola! the re5/14 is a short form for reconnaissance ...
and the r4/5 could also be an abbreviation for reconnaisances, I guess, or recreations
joel - do you need the last ca6 and ca7 or do you need Noah Wiley's ER name?
Aaaargh! I have no excuse...hand me three fish :/ Thanks atalante :)
I've never seen ER.
lol smeltz or a presidents name...

good job Smeltz!
well, thankfully moine is blue..my fav colour...great for holding many liquor bottles, yes?
off to do othere fun stuff now
Exactly! Handbags are great for holding all our essentials, lol! I actually like to think of them as handbags because they hold all the stuff about us :)
well, I guess they do make manpurses now....in fact, I have one big enough to ca4 the little pooch around in when she's not angry enough to chew herself out of it?
lol! What kind of small pooch is she?
Lhasa Apso...for the moment she's looking more and more like an organic floor mop....:) cute tho, everyone says...
Ah! Now your profile makes sense to me *ditz moment...again!*. Don't know what they look like. You should have her as your icon :)
O...M...G... there are TWO ca9/60's???
I am soooo not finishing this puzzle...
Jera, honey, now just sit down and take a deep breath.
Hey! It helps that I've had one of them!!
There you go. good news already!
for the third time today I monkeytyped a word and it counted it but didn't give me points. Earlier it counted the same word twice. What gives?
ca 9/60 -- any hints?
Deutsch! Jera! how nice of you to join us this evening....been awhile since we've been on together!!
think birth
aknitter - not a natural delivery
duh -- red faced -- i am a nurse
Hi Pav, yes, it has. I've 122 words to go. Willl never make it.
I've been a busy little bee... this is my busiest time of the year!! Second Halloween party was this afternoon... one more to go!
and I have 90, slow going...
What is with these co words? Any clues, please? And believe it or else, I have the co 9. Can't even remember how I got it.
I'm just hoping to get as many long ones as possible so I don't totally blow my ranking progress... I'd like to get back in the top hundred!
I'm done guys :) And I have to say goodnight too, I'm pooped! See you all tomorrow, good luck!
Congrats Lola... see ya later, hon! Maybe we can talk tomorrow!
WTG Lola!
Could I have a hint for the re9/60? RE's make my head spin... too many possibilities!
Jera, re 60 stops flames
help with de 8/45?

what does monkey type mean??
de 8 plus ae 6
what about re 8/45?
Could I have the third letter, Deutsch? That should get me on the right path...
Thank you deutsch!
I see some of the midnight people are coming back...Hi Nena and Smeltz!

I need sc 6/24. Not "Ahh!! You sc**** me!"
Whoo-hoo! Found all the rotten 9's! Even with my husband kicking me off the puter so he could check on a work thing...
geez louise... i have eaten and my brain is still not revived
ec8/50 to do with being spiny or bristly

I guess he's forgiven since he made a big pot of his special chili... yum!
that's funny Jera - I got kicked off for poo's homework!
Smeltz....well, the ending is familiar n4, starts with the drawing game that you erase, comes in plastic red case. Et--a-ske-- only without the t
sc6/24 - what a lovely view
Starting on the 8's now... I think I have a few just in the course of the puzzle... working on them now (on purpose)...
Gah! I hate missing the obvious ones. Thank you trotter.
my eyes are tired from all the searching .... but you all are soo right .. this is very addictive . But soo much fun !
Does any body know how much words there are?
I dont get your clue PAV3. Can you please clarify?
is the ac8 a plural of ac7, by any chance? If not, may I have a clue for the 8?
ac8, past form of ac7
hallo
pav & trotters... i had a feeling about the beginning. it's the ending that's giving me grief.
i'll keep trying.
Thanks, nena
Okay, Smeltz, I am stuck like you are on that word. I also need a clue for the ac7 please.

For some reason, I can not get the z's...Any clues for my babble typers?
JW Its a metal

But of course it is...why couldn't I see that?
Oh My God. This puzzle is unfinishable. I feel like I have an eternity to go.
why isn't serta a word!
Darleen Take for colds? Are we missing something in the UK.
how many words?
Jera, how are you on the 8s? I have 6. Want to share?
Chief 306 too many
Deutch I also have 6.
So I guess 80 isn't a very good start :(
please share. I only have 5.
Nena keep going with the monkey typing. Your first three letters are correct - both se10's you need have impossible definitions. First one has two vowels at the end, second one builds on se4/4
Chief, you still have 5+ hours to go...Have fun and enjoy!
I have 5 Se 4/4. Which one does it build on? :(
Nena, I have ac8, ce8, co8, ec8, re8, and tr8. Which one do you need? We need help here people! We are still short on our 8s.
I have for the 8s ac past tense of ac 7 co (short for co 9) de plus the ae 6 ec (weird one) re to go back on your route tr those who can save themselves in water
One builds on your fourth one and another one on your fifth one

re if you lose something, you may re***** your steps
I am missing a 9 letter word: I have as9/60, ca9/60x2, co9/60 and re9/60. What am I missing. Hints please.
it comes before the ar7 - first five letters the same, then that taken food thing again (comes up in quite a few of the 8's)
Awesome. I got them. Thank you so much for your help. Only missing a ca8/50 now.
Thanks, Trotters, seems the food word is it today!
I also need clues for both ca 7/32
Can you help me with the ae word that goes with the de? Thanks.
JW, ae, it's what some folks to to the soil or their lawns. (It involves the food word at the end.)
Ae 6: To supply with air or expose to the circulation of air: aerate soil. (Its past tense makes up Ae 7)/
would someone please post the 9's again.
Ae 6: Ae + I got a "ra4/4" on this great car.
I don't have the ca 8. Clue, please?
I agree with deutsch. A clue for Ca 8/50

I'm with Nena and Deutsch? Any help for us?
JW, did I forget to say past tense? *looks down and shuffles feet*
Nevermind, I already have all of the 9's. Thanks Deutsch.
ca8/50 is the past tense of ca7/32
so Deutsch, are you saying you can help with the ca8?
ca8 = past tense of last ca7 32.....ca4 +(familiar) a3
Thank you Pav3 :)

Okay, I think I ate again.
I need clues for 2 se 6/21. I have the past of "se** the steak on the grill"

Haha. I'm missing 2 of the tr 7/32, so that's no help :) A clue please? Thank you so much for your patience.
Une, a spelling variant of the type of birth
Nena se6/21 - first one is easy - are you sitting down? the second one is weird - begins with a very short time and finishes with the sea eagle without the last letter (best I can do)
stock market guru also, one who applies the texture to tires (tr 7/32)
thanks--typed that once before and it wasn't accepted . . . go figure . . .

Any clues for the last re 4 4?

Trotter, I am still stuck on "sea eagle". What is that exactly?
a hypnotist puts you into a tr****
nena - i'll put you in a tr**** (then plural)
tr7 dreams: you might get hypnotized more than once
That is enough for today/night. This has been my worst grid, just managed to reach half of the target, did manage to get the 9's but only 4 x 8's and I'm fed up with looking. Fingers crossed for a better grid tomorrow.
sea eagle - er 4/4
Thank you! Only missing a Tr 6/24 now.
tr6/24 - world war 1 places
I know it has been said before but I need a re 9 and an re 6 21 (one of the last 2). I have to slow or hold back. other 6 21 and the 9 please?

John, re 9 stops flames

Yea! Done with the 8's... on to the 7's...
i'm still stuck on the re 6/24 that comes right before the "slow" one.

These are the re's I'm missing. Clues for any of them? re 6/ 21 re 7/ 32 re 5/ 10 re 5/ 14 re 6/ 24 re 5/ 12
Do a race again....

re6/12 and 7/32 - people who look at books
sorry, re6/21
JW and Trotters. I got those, but thank you :) It's difficult to give clues when you have so many...
Go out with the same guy again?
how about a clue for te 7/28?

Thank you Une. Can I have clues for both dr 6/27 please?
Missing an re5/14 and re6/24. Can anyone help please?
dr6/27 to make very very wet
Well, it's time for my Desperate Housewives break... hopefully I will be back, but even if I'm not, I'm over halfway & found half the 7's, all 8's & 9's... bye all!
re 5 14 - recon, but it is a tough one, almost have to monkey type with points. double consonant in the middle
but it's a rerun, Jera! :-)
Recon? as in "to con again"? or reckon?
Children's play time at school, spelled wrong
21 t's left ... must feed dog an self and watch tv...got to run!
Thank you :) I need the other Dr 6/27. Not "to make very wet".
nenali- anothe word for recon
johnp, thanks, but I never thought there was such a word. Got it my monkeying.
there's no definition but it's "d" + The Third R***
g'nite pav3 & jera..... didn't get to chat much or play today ... tomorrow is another day!!
the third what? a tv show? rhymes with?
Re 6s one who peruses raised children looks like school childrens' break less one s go out with again impede, or hold back Re7: draw again Re9: draws again
The Third R**** . . . think Germany, WWII
rhymes with like, bike, mike
thanks une - i got it! good night mamabear!
not leving yet - was just saying g'nite to pav3 & jera -=felt bad I didn't get to chat much today....
oohhh been a long day LOL
sorry all - i've been having technical difficulties. i've been trying to thank you for 10 minutes for your re clues. darn computer is slowing me down!
hey poo's mom.... this one's a stretch!
damn. my brain is not working. im off too. i might be back. goodnight.
goodnite nena!!!!
no kidding cathy! got 200 of the buggers so far
hmm... i only have 130!
smeltzdog - maybe there's mustard in your keyboard... (sorry, couldn't resist)
trying to have a life besides Babble - it works, but Babble suffers!
hey all im new at this...are they always so difficult?
i was gone most of the day. took the puzzle to the laundry mat but that didn't work as well as i had hoped
sparbd... nah... normally harder... lol
What's with the rerun on Desperate Housewives?
spar - not always - this is the longest one I have seen and I've been at it for about 2 weeks now. A couple of them have been under 50 words!!!
BEAR... i had enough of that last night.
poo's mom... ya... i was considering taking mine to see the fall foliage in new york state... thought that might be a little anti-social of me!
couldn't resist --- i'll behave......
I made a bad re list; should include another 6: peruse again, and another 7, which I don't have.
Help - looking for last Se6/21. Not the one who sat you or the one who chars the meat. Any clues? Please.
alot easier to be antisocial at the laundry mat! our foliage seems just past peak here. Now I get to rake the loverly leaves
mamabear you're right tho - it is the longest one since poo and i got in on this insanity
poo's mom... our foliage is peaking at the mo.. although past in the higher elevations of the poconos. we went to newburgh and near to poughkeepsie.. it was moderate-peaking there
Mama - I've decided that the only way for you to show how sorry you are for the way you've treated me lately is that you should devote your attention to me finishing this puzzle. Here we go! the second ri5/12
doggie - would you settle for a *bear hug* instead? (a gentle one I remember you are fragile) - I only have 112 words so I think you're barking up the wrong bear for clues on this one .....
Oh yes, and to further confuse 'to draw again' is 8, not 9, which is something that impedes or slows. I won't make anymore lists. Promise.
se6 / a branch of Congress
Wogoe - I have that one - it''s the 3rd Se6/21 that I am after. Any clues for that?
se6/21 - to discriminate.
Do you have past tense of seat?
*AoAoAoooooW* Good evening All!
Hey!!!!! GW - congrats on pro status!!!! Nice punkin!!
Wogoe - I have that past tense and I have the one who chars the meat. It is theother one I need - the 3rd Se6/21 on the list.
Dianne - I gave you a clue for that.
Thanks Mama - I did it last thing before I turned in around 4 this morning
Jacula - sorry - I missed your post. Thanks.
kind of late to be carving punkins!!!! (interesting bio by the way....)
Dianne - se6/21 sounds like the 'ce** pit' plus a sea eagle.
Jacula - got it - thanks so much.
Okay Dianne.:-)
After I finish or give up here, I still have to carve my real one! A fact I left out of my bio -- I am the master of timeliness *NOTE: this is sarcasm*
So how are you doin' on word count MAMA? I was able to get on earlier so I only have 82 left
Grey Woulf - one of the first words I found in the grid was 'Wicca' but, as I guessed, it wasn't 'allowed'.
GW - you don't want to know.... it's not a pretty picture
ok, I'm going nuts here. I have 4 missing words. Used BrandyJack's list, counted twice, have all the ones on his list and still 4 short. here I go again
I've just completed about 6 hours of ironing and then come in to get the last 16 wordsleft to do. Got them all a few mins ago.
Jacula -That was my first complaint this morning! sprite and Jera agreed that the dictonary needs to be updated
Johnp - do you know what letters you're short on?
Well, Grey Woulf, Wicca is capitalised and so wouldn't be an allowable word.
MAMA - it's a HUGE list today, whatever you get is something to be proud of!
Digressing to yesterday's puzzle --- Does anyone know why ashcan was accepted, yet trashcan wasn't a valid word?
Ahhh Haaa. I found it. Apparently I cannot read an's because I skipped all 4 of them. Off to search. lol
You still have to keep trying words though, don't you? I know the grid won't accept 'Erse' but I still key it in every time I see it. LOL.
ar6/21, please
cybernan - no, I wondered that myself.
Hi everyone! : )
Jaqula!!! Six hours of ironing? Are you one of those people who presses their bed linens? I don't think I've ironed anything in the past six years, but I know my ex-sister-in-law presses everything, including tee shirts.
Howdy Owl!
hey
cybernan - don't know why.... you just got to let it go... or "throw it away in the tr******" LOL
DONE!ar 6 21. plural of ar 5, a tropical tree
Hi Temple Owl. Mab - no, I don't press bed linen, except for pillowcases. I do iron tee-shirts though, yes.
ar 6-21: a type of palm tree -- the one where the base looks something like a pineapple
welcome Temple & oneway!!!!
any help on the ec 6/21 & 8/50?
topical trees it is
ec6/21 - a card game.
to answer your question GW, I have 121 so far. I didn't even print the 2letter list today!! Last nite and getting up early today wore me out. ........
ec8/50 - spiny, bristly or prickly.
It won't accept "carseat," either, and considering that they're required by law for children, it's hard to argue that they aren't "real"
ec 8- spiny
ec 8/50: begins like the herbal medicine made from the cone flower and ends with the past tense of eat.
Well, MAMA, you have been keeping very late hours the past few days...
Vicuna - car seat is 2 words.
is there any way that the first clues that we need to play cannot scroll off? just wondering...
look who's talking, Mr. 4 am!!!!!!! LOL
georgygrrl - not sure what you mean?
georgy - what do you mean by the first clues need to play?
there are clues...the original clues. but to find them you have to keep going back
Oh, you mean scrolling back through the message log?
you can click "sow all messages" at the bottom
That's the way it works! -- clues for most of the tough ones will have been posted several times
yes. the original clues should be available for us all without all that scrolling
evanadine - 'sow' all messages?? LOL. If they all grew it'd make the log HUGE.:-)
hello all, didn't realize i didn't move the log up, and i thought wow it's real quiet on here...not...
Hi Baggo.
hi baggo - nice hair!!!!! my favorite color
hey, my fingers have a lazy mind of their own. ;)
Yay, the letter thief who was plaguing me this AM has found a new victim! (LOL)
I admire your perseverance, Jacula, especially since I have so little myself. However, I am writing a 50,000-word novel in November as part of a 'novelists' month' activity. We shall see if I can persevere....
I'm off to another game world for a while - back in 3 hours -- I was just checking in to see how everyone was doing. Great icon GreyWoulf!
ty mama...did it just for halloween
bye cybernan....
Thanks cybernan! Have fun on your side journey!!
OHHH yeah, Halloween!!! Thought maybe you were getting ready for prom!!!! LOL
'Bye Cybernan. Have fun! Mab - of course you can do it! Hey, 50,000 words is nothing. LOL. How many words are you hoping to get down a day? How long do you have to do the novel? Don't suppose I need to tell you to 'just write it and don't stop to edit on the 1st draft'?
yeah, 50,000 words is just a little over the word count today!!!
mab -- would that be NaNoWriMo?
Oh Baggo, you look ravishing! I looked at that site and especially admired the Little Bo Peep style.
(tear) mmmaaammmaaa....(tear) mamabear (sniff) please help me (sniff sniff) i only have 3 more s's... se 5/ 14 se 6/ 21 se 5/ 10
prom's good...now where did torgone get to...lol
yeah right don't edit. Leave it up to us poor editors to do the dirty work! lol!
Mab - if you've got 30 days to do it in that's around 1600 words a day. Make that 2000 or a little more to allow for editing time later. It's possible to do.
i hear a dog - does it need to go outside?
Yes Eva! Are you, are have you in the past, done this?
Did I hear my name ???
yeah boo peep was lovely....lol poo's mom...
Maryb - No, I didn't mean don't edit the final draft! LOL. But it's easy to get bogged down editing veritually every sentence as you go along and lose the plot, as it were.
no, not me...but i know at least one person doing it this month... i have a buncha friends who write, but i could never write that much in a month...heh
torgone you scared the %$&% outta me...lol
*torgone makes an appearance as he steps away from the tree he has been lurking behind*
(are you doing...) I meant to say.
OK. Now I need a hint for de 8/45.
I would love to oblige Mustard Man, (sorry - I said I'd behave,,, but I lie on occasion) - I do not have the se's for which you seek assistance...
***falls to ground faint from torgone popping up***
de then your first word on your list
se5/14 - painting on dry plaster (the art of).
oops, nope. sorry/ de ae 6 18, take air out of your lawn
Actually just popped in .. dinner is done, thought I'd see how far I slipped in the rankings yesterday, and see if i wanted to try this one .. Lovely as always, baggo ..
se5/10 - the French river that often appears in the grid.
Thanks for the boost there Jax
No editing, Jacula. Just a continuous stream of bad novel, like Kerouac, except very bad.
se6/21 - I gave clues to Dianne for that not long ago. Scroll back a bit.
just popped in to add a word or two..literally..two words added..only have 198..too many left to finish..Night to all my babbling idjits..xoxoxo
Hi & 'bye, Kate.
g'nite lianakate - hope you are getting stronger every day!!!
nice to see you torgone...maybe i'll be a nurse tomorrow... se5/14 you'd say wait a se....and add the abbreviation for company se6/21 means to separate or discriminate se5/10 take you se4/4 and add a vowel
Mab - stream of consciousness? That's okay. Just make sure you leave time to prune out all the stuff you've fallen in love with. In fact, if there's time, read it aloud onto tape and then listen back, and you'll see what works and what doesn't, what's boring, what's exciting etc.
I noticed nobody is drinking tonite...... are we all on the wagon?
Actually I am a writer, although I've never done a forced march like this. I have only the most vague notion of a plot. I think it will be fun to see what develops.
ac8 & ac6, please
A clue to ce 4/6, please. I'm hoping that this will lead me to some other ce's as well?
mama everybody's been a bit down about sarah and richard, so we've kept it a bit low key...
I'm drinking, mamabear .. Caipirinha?
When feeding the obsession, I forget to drink, eat, and even sleep. Thanks for reminding me, MAMA. I think I'll just have a contemplative glass of port right now.
ce 4 6 - plural for a body cavity. It isn't connected to any others
i understand baggo..... i did not forget - have been thinking about them often
is anyone else finding the site vey slow tonight?
harpjane, a body cavity, won't lead anywhere in the grid - count the points
It's not the site thats slow, just me
no, owl
ac 7/8's narrow and long and pointed; as pine leaves
lol
ac - pointed, like a needle.
mama i didn't mean to imply that you did...not at all..
: D LOL poos mom!
I have a ce4 that means something I can't easily explain, but it is spelled like the S word for dessicated or extremely dry, as a desert.
I know, Baggo.... :)
You're right. Now I need clues for ce 6/21 and 7/36.
this blue girl scares me about as much as torgones icon when she pops up....
torgone - what is that you're drinking??? oh heck - think i need to log out try again - see you in a few...
harp.here is the real ce 6/7 . A hard, unctuous, fat- or wax-based solid, sometimes medicated, formerly applied to the skin directly or on dressings. (but think of a knife...)
woe is me.... can't find body cavities, pointed needles, discriminated things, or painting on plaster. maybe I should call it a nite...... GW - I suppose you are near completion????? *mamabear furrows brow*
ac is the same word as the ae, but put a c between the a and e
I would say close but not yet near - I have 68 to go I have been using a2z heavily to help me out
AHA! S's done. thanks for all your help. (only 19 words left until i'm DONE!)
Thanks, Baggo!
okay for the ac7/8 think of highest card in a deck and what you pay at hotel (the going r...) and then past tense it
Thanks for asking Temple, didn't want to be the only one who didn't know of Torgone's refreshment choice.
Either my computer or this site has gone into molasses mode .. I may be back later .. Love to all ..
nite torgone!!!
low day today 143 -- that's it for this one. Have a good night
So long for now, torogone
G'nite pbr
got ac8, ty still having trouble with ac6
done...anyone need anymore clues...i think i'm off to watch tv, unless of course i'm needed here...
ac 6 - more sore
what our hearts are for sandr...:-(
baggo, how bout clues/ definitions for the ca 9/60s?Thanks
got it, ty
ac6/24. If you've been digging the garden or doing a lot of exercise your back might ac**. If you carry on punishing it, it might become ac6/24.
I do believe you have earned tv time in spades, baggo. Such a week you've had, and such a puzzle today!
baggo - the first two Ta's?
Wow. I never thought I'd finish this one, but I did!!! Yay for fit1 :)
may i please have a lateral clue for the c words meaning mexican kitchen?
Congrats fit1
congrats fit! I hope to join you in the winner's circle soon...
ta6/18 & ta7/28 - one definition is a type of tapeworm or flatworm (and the plural).
Way to go, fit1
ta6/18 and ta7/28 A narrow band or ribbon for the hair that was worn in ancient Greece or a tapeworm
Well done, fit1.
Heary congratulations to all who complete this behemoth! Hurrah for fit1, and for all!
wtg fit1!!!
ca9/60....take your ca6/21 (its a compound with it and metal)...or add to the end of your ca6 what you would say after you had devoured something...i just a....dinner..
thank you ladies
72 temple...the world actually translates to cook in spanish...(((google language tools...hint hint hint)
baggo, love the hairdo
ty so much took me hours to get it right...lol
Temple Owl - 'co' plus a type of movie camera plus the ending of the 'ca' word just mentioned. For the plural, just add the usual single letter.
Or you can take the co6/27, drop the silent letter, and add 3 letters to the end meaning an age, or a period in time.
popping in to grid out a few more words... Hello Jac
ac 7/32 anyone?
LeslieAnn - --- of spades + to grade a hotel
Hey Blaze , how was your day?
great day here... helped at a pumpkin party attended by 160 c hildren
Hi Blaze!!! You are ya?
2 to go, need te 6/ 21 & te 7/ 32 that are together a little above the bird
being with 160 children all day should have you ready for us now!!!!! LOL
ah thanks
Glad to hear it -- we saw 'Legend of Zorro' ... not bad, not worth paying more than matinee price, but a decent flick
It was bery well organized ... I helped in the kitchen severing 45 pizzas and then security for pick up....
Hey GreyWoulf are you still there?
hi blaze luv...nice to see ya!
Hi Blaze
Oh, my log refreshed and now I see everybody. Hi mamabear, hi blaze... I just finished the grid. Had to go back to 4:30 am for sprite's clues on the na's. This is not the most fun I have ever had...
Hey Griff - where yu beein hidin?
Great to be in with you Baggo nice new icon....
Where have I been hiding? (You have the same grid I do, right?) ;D
Hey Griffums, I'm here I am not talking much because I am working on my last 60 words and giving a2z a run for its money
oh yeah.... I withdraw my question, your honor!!!
ty baggo, jacula, brandy jack...
I whipped that A2Z puppy too but honestly I am not very good at using it. As always, the babblers clues are the ones that get me through. I'll let you go back to it - I need to eat! Bye all.
Hi Mammabear, Hi all.
Take care Griffums
nite griffums...
Hey there eggtoni
grey I keep a second window open with a2z for when ever I need it...LOL

Hi and bye Griff How is your KAP tonite ??
I think it's time I did something with my kap. Maybe for the next grid, just for blaze! Byeeee
well i'm off...have a good one...
G'nite baggo
Well my dear babbler friends, I think since I have no chance at slaying this dragon tonite, I might as well call it a nite a little early. Need to do my nails (that I said I would do on Friday and never did!) AND finish my costume for tomorrow!!!! Good nite all - *bear hugs* around *oh and liked that neck rub last nite GW* ......
Hey GW, you guys are babblin fools! I am still not very good at this, but I think I'm addicted.
good night Mama.
Mama bear how was chior this morning ??
bye, baggo...catch you later.. er - dear - prell will fade that color right out...
Nitey nite Mamma.
night, mamabear *little cub hug *
When I obsess over something, eggtoni, it's my primary focus for awhile until something new takes the forefront
Nitey nite MAMA, sorry we couldn't chat more... Take care of yourself and see you tomorrow *big hug* Sleep well, sleep tight
good nite Smeltzdog *pat pat pat pat pat*.... Blaze - choir was fine - my church is a very large brick sanctuary and the acoustics are phenomenal - makes up for all the missed flats & sharps !!!!! Thanks for asking....
need some help with TE 6/ 21 & TE 7/ 32 that are together a little above the seabird, please
Sounds familiar Wolf. Like years ago when I was addicted to Pong?
GW - I'm sorry too.... tomorrow is another day. I am not really focused on the puzzle since I'm not even half way through it and I know all of you are, so best I save my banter for another eve.....
Hi Blaze. Sorry for delay in replying. I'd nipped off to nose round my forums and then was playing another word game. Was about to indulge in some yetisports when I remembered I was still signed in here. LOL.
thanks for the little cub hug temple!!!!!! i love cub hugs!!!!
Hey there Mama Bear. This puzzle looks like it has a ka-jillion words in it. How many do have so far?
try a form of crying, past tense
How are you Jac.... beena while since we were in the grid togther... I will be off in about half an hour watching the Royal and New tricks..(BBC)
Hi wisedoggy - only have 134... *hangs head in shame* hope the board is kinder to you!!!!
MAMA, there is no shame in the game! Hold your head high!
who's got this ec 6/21?
Remember that just by playing you prove that you are better than most gameplayers that think games involve only moving sprites and explosions
'night mamabear, have a nice evening.
Thanks for the uplift GW!!!!!! *another bear hug for GW*
those ar5s and ar 7, 8 are kicking my ar 4/4!
*hugs back*
LeslieAnn, think of shopping online
Blaze - back's still hurting after missing that chair night before last but otherwise I'm okay, thanks. How are you?
Ok now I'm going for real.... parting is such sweet sorrow. Happy Halloween to everyone!! Wonder if Dr. God has a "trick" or "treat" grid waiting for us tomorrow!!!! sweet dreeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmmmm zzzzz to all
ar7/32 - 'Ar***** & Old Lace'. Think poison.
I am good.... looking forward to going away this coming weekend. to a conference for grand mothers raising grand children... It will be great to get away with NO children LOL
'Bye Mamabear. 'See' you later.
LOL Blaze. I hope you enjoy the conference.
KMJordan, I have that (one who rends), I need the OTHER te6/21 & the te7/32 right after it
ty jac - *SPLAT!!!!* * hits self with fish*
ar8/40 is realted to the poison one. However, best described as ar4/4 plus more. Think 'bum 'n' past tense of filling one's face'.
*related NOT realted. LOL.
got, it, jac. the site is really slow for me even after doing a cold boot. I want to get at least 50 more.
nice clue jac!
1st ar5/10 - the two-letter way of pluralising ar4/4.
2nd ar5/10 - the one-letter way of pluralising ar4/4.
ar5/12 has to do with gold. ' Attribute to a physical quantity obtained by division by area.'
See yo later
3rd ar5/10 - # 1. An enclosed area for the presentation of sports events and spectacles. 2. A building housing such an area.
Bye Blaze.
enjoy your show Blaze
bye, blaze : )
jacula - i got them all! ty!
Kudos to Owl!
I bought a DVD of Peter Sellers' 'The Party' on Saturday. Anyone seen it? Anyone who has will crack up laughing if I say, 'Birdy num-nums'.
Well done, Temple Owl!
i mean all of the ar words....i am at 203...
not afar, but ar5/10, then [ast tense
DONE!! i never thought i'd say that today.
What do you still need Temple Owl. Am here for a little while longer. We put the clocks forward an hour on Sunday morning over here, which nearly drove the cats mad re meal times. We compromised and fed them half an hour 'early'.
Well done, Dog!
Kudos anyway Temple Owl And a hearty thump on the back to congratulate Smeltzdog!
Can I ask if there are any words at all that start with the Z ?
gnubee - read back for my ar5 clues.
two, wisedoggy, think metal
yes 2 but I don't have them
d'uh! thanks!
Wisedoggy - yes, there are two 'z' words. Think of a light metal rather than a 'fan mag'.
PLEASE, only 2 to go, does anyone have te6/21 & te7/32 that are together (#12 & #13 of the te's)
te's are variants of the ta's with the same values
te6/21 & 7/32 (its plural) - a Madagascan mammal similar to a hedgehog. Think 'decimal' and then a short word for a common playground.
thanks jacula...it's really hard without the stats when the puzzle is long - i couldn't begin to tell what i need - my strategy is now to look for the long words i;m missing...
gnubee - the number that follows 9 + parks and *** dept. then plural for 7.
Temple Owl - the stats are available at Babblers Anonymous. If you have the 'Friends of Babble' box on the right of your Babble screen you can click on the link there.
jacula - don't pros have a tool that ticks off the words as they get them?
anyone got the first ta6/18?
did you get it gnubee?
Today's grid - 306 words. A-26, C-48, D-29, E-22, F-9, -2, I-4, N-15, O-3, R-46, S-30, T-52, W-18, Z-2. 4-letter words -87, 5 - 95, 6 - 79. 7-30. 8 -10, 9 -5.
Temple Owl - yes, we do.
robert - its a type of tapeworm
Thanks, Jacula & Temple Owl, got 'em and done!!!
Robert - ta6/18 (no.1) - think Scotland!
ty smeltz, my bf is a med student
Robert - Dog's clue is the right one. Ignore mine!
how's about this dr 6/21?
dr6/21 - plural of a dr5/12 - the dismal one.
ca8? ce8?
thanks jacula
ce 8 think sergical birth. havn't got ca8 also need a clue
sorry about the spelling (surgical)
ca8 is past tense of ca7 which is ca**(suitca**) + past tense of eat
For another ca9, use Ishult's clue, different spelling (put an a between the c and the e)
ty lshultt
Thanks lshult I didn't have that one yet.
thanks Smeltzdog. Still don't have any 9's (or half of the 8's for that matter) clue would help.
ca7 & 8 refer to living tissue that has died. Quite revolting really.
ack, if anyone has the ar 6/21 and ar 5/12 i would appreciate it
as9/60 - to make sure of. ca9/60 - type of birth named after Julius's arrival into the world, or, as Shakspeare put it, 'untimely ripped from mother's womb', or words to that effect. ca9/60 - a compound of your ca6/21 (something found in formula milk)
thanks jac - have been using your clues - have to go - site is way too slow, extra hour has given me too much energy & now i don't want to go to bed! but i have to make a trat for the office for tomorrow's holiday
co9/66 - Mexican kitchens. re9/60 - add 'having filled your face' to re6/21 meaning to hold back or mentally behind.
sorry to see you go Temple Owl
Night T/Owl. Will be off myself soon.
Leslie Ann - old world palms - clues have been posted earlier in log if you care to scroll back. Makes it quicker if you turn off the icons before doing so.
trying to get those worms before i go : ) what letter did they begin with?
missing one ta4 and ta6
ta6/18 & 7/28 are the worms.
tr6/24 . . . hint?
tr6/24 - think WWI, where the soldiers dug out.
OK Jacula (BTW Hi. I haven't seen you for a while). I got all the 9 clues you posted except for the RE9. Could I have a bit more assistance on that one please? Thanks.
Minski - do you have re6/21 meaning 'hold back' or 'mentally backward'? If so, just add the past tense of 'eat' to it.
PAV - quite a few of those. Might help if you describe the ones you have.
Thanks Jacula. Now I have all the 9s. Nowhere near finished and as soon as the Patriots finish winning I'm going to bed but I'll do what I can before that time arrives.
is it just me?? i've had a number of disappearing words tonite--I enter them but later they're gone!
Minski - probably time to resort to a2z then! Sleep well.x
ac 7/32 anyone?
Une - you're typing too fast again! LOL.
ac7/32 - think botanical word (unacceptable on Babble) for 'maple' and then add past tense of 'eat'.
this is what i have, and my connection is lame... ta 6 18 ta 7 28 ta 4 4 ta 6 21 ta 7 32 ta 4 4 ta 5 12 ta 5 10 ta 4 4 ta 4 4
85 words and your clues are sometimes helpful. not too bad for a first time effort....will continue with this game and attempt to figure out your babblespeak
PAV - you need one last ta6/18 - the Scottish skirt material one.
bbnaz - anything you don't understand about the Babbleverse, just ask.
Patriots win! It's 11:47pm and I'm about to turn into a pumpkin. Nighty-night everyone. Happy Halloween.
PAV - the missing ta4/4, if it's the one above the Scottish one is the plural of what you find on made-up roads. Think 'Ta**s & feathers'.
Night Minksi.
Or even Minski.:-/
93 now...humping for 100 before time runs out
got them Jac...kept forgetting the corner t,,,
bbnaz - you cn get that many before time runs out. What do you need, I'm here for 10 more minutes.
Well done Pav.
94 words 5.2 1423 how in the world to explain what i don't really understand? is there more than one z word?
There are 2 'z' words relating to a light metal. One is the plural of the other.
Yay Pats! from a transplanted New Englander to Philadelphia. I'm just hanging in to 100 words (started at 11:20pm tonight) or the transport strike at midnight, whichever comes first...
der...tyvm now up to 95 grinning madly
well bye everyone and thanks for the clues...happy halloween
G'nite again Temple Owl
bbnaz, have you ventured into babblers anonymous yet for the word lists?
Just this once, I will repeat the short stats I posted a while ago to help non-pro Babblers... Today's grid - 306 words. A-26, C-48, D-29, E-22, F-9, -2, I-4, N-15, O-3, R-46, S-30, T-52, W-18, Z-2. 4-letter words -87, 5 - 95, 6 - 79. 7-30. 8 -10, 9 -5.

Good luck with the traffic, GWoulf!
ok, bbnaz, go to the "babblers anonymous" link to the right of the screen. then go to "general" then click on "stats." you will get the first two letters for every word and the points.
Usually no prob on traffic, I need just about 30 min to commute
Yes, bbnaz, this is addicting, but I usually only have time to get about 2/3 of the puzzle every day.
I am down to my last 6 words and any assistance would greatly be appreciated! I need: the first Se 6/18, Se 5/14, Ta 6/21, Ta 7/32, the third Te 5/10 and the third Te 6/18. So close and yet so far away!!!!

Good night, Philadelphians, and all, past 100 words and WAY past my bedtime! See you on the site tomorrow!
