brandyjack to the rescue!
Hello Everyone!
ty brandyj!!!
hi cybernan
At least no surprise here that I can't make purify... nothing much pure about me ;)
Hi sprite, stillcrazy, and c-nan Wow - how teeny it is today!!
Hi there Grey Woulf! Good to see you!
It will not take my teeny word :( Hi Woulf, good to see you again :)
I was hoping for a big 'un since it's a holiday...I'd have the whole day w/ no work... I guess that'll leave more time for chatting!
Always a pleasure, sprite :) sophia - you still here?
Well Eastern... it might, but sometimes the small ones are the hardest :)
Blue - those of us attached to retail still have to work tomorrow, so try not to enjoy too much, OK?
that is true...I may have hit my limit already w/o looking at Brandyjack's list... : ) [it could also be the late hour...]
Woulfie - I'll be thinking of you...any consolation that I do have a little work to do?
stillcrazy - I see you updated your bio -- congrats on the grandkids
So close to hubris... wouldn't that have been a nice, sophisticated word!
Only 54 words - how disappointing!
sprite - that was like "plasma" yesterday - so close and yet so far
Good evening Babblers!
woulf: i'm still here
Blue - it's a small consolation -- truth is I personally would have had the day off as well, except I volunteered to help another Lenscrafter's that is short staffed this week ;)
Ah, it is of your own free will! Woulf, love, you will enjoy it :)
Woulfie - that cuz you're such a nice guy : )
E6/24
sophia - you did great on the last puzzle! 89 words and all without access to the stat board!! You are truly one of us :) (*applauds vigorously*)
B6/30 x2
ty Grey Woulf...I sure have fun with them
sophia - is it your first day??
Sprite you're not done already?
wolf: thanks! i try... *blushes* off to work again! =D
Almost Griffs ;)
BTW, sophia, where in the world are you?
eastern: no this is my third try, i think. i was out of it for a while. been really busy =)
sophia - it's fun tho'!
australia but born a filipina =)
A6/30: what a NICE find!
That's what I thought, sprite, fluffing up my locks
eastern: yea, it gets quite addictive! which reminds me i have to take off and start preparing for a date! LOL
I thought so, but wanted to be certain -- I am very pleased to make your aquantaince
well - heading to spend time with the hubby...I'll be back tomorrow (or rather, after I sleep tonight!) to finish...good luck
Worth the whole puzzle, Griffs :)
Wow! You have a date? Lucky!
bye all...
greetings everyone :) sprite, congratulations on being 'cream of the crop' !
G'nite Blue! Enjoy and we'll see you later :)
Bye! See and we'll enjoy you later!
woulf: same here! *grins* tor: you are referring to me, right? LOL
sophia - go then, and have fun! We'll keep the grid warm for you ;)
sprite, just saw your post after mine (LOL)
woulf: thanks! i'll try. first dates always scare me! LOL
A4/6: strange word that is. In Holland it is the name of the things you can sit and hide in while waiting on the bus. The ones with ads.
in Alaska it's a word you stumble on in the grid
LOL Griffs!
The be's are just Stupidhead(tm) words, right? Nothing I'll feel embarrassed about not seeing?
Two Bs have a french ending, the rest is pretty common. You could start with a nice beer, big zip, relax... "B"... pardon!
But here's something to be embarrassed about... I only just now realized that my word pane has an autocompleter on it, so whenever I start to type I see the list of everything I've ever tried... I think I have to burn my computer.
Hmmm, small earthquake here just now. I think I have displeased the babble gods.
Griffs, now I know you are using Firefox :) I have the same thing, but I am pretty sure it can be put off somewhere. Don't feel like looking though right now, I am almost done :P
how small is small?
I think it was nothing more than Griffs' healthy B4/8.
they're not accepting a completely valid naughty / icky word. :(
Very small, just enough to make the monitor bounce a teeeeeny bit and my cell phone shiver a little on the desk. Could know from the tsunami website in a moment but it was so small I'm uninterested in checking.
No, I'm not using Firefox though I suppose as a good canid I should. Just using IE. Not because I love it or anything.
Then you couldn't have angered the babble gods that much -- maybe you only gave them indigestion :D
Too bad, Crys... we really must educate Babble!
In IE I am SURE it can be rid of. I am going to make breakfast for the kids and see them off to school, then check back later. Bye guys and enjoy the hunt! 54 words / 4.41 / 562 points, must be a record.
Urrrrrrrrgh Congratulations I GUESS. ;D
bye sprite, well done, enjoy your day :)
Have a great day, sprite! (*hugs*)
. . . and it begins. . . anyone have au6?
Crys, my hair is au 6/30. I buy it in a bottle.
a hair color
great! i should've seen that. thanks!
Well , it's time for me to go to bed as well! See you folks around Babbleonia :) (*hugs for whoever wants one*) TTFN
'night gw
gnight!
good night Grey Woulf...sleep well
br5????
Well got them all in record time.....see you all again next one.
I'm about done too - seeya stillcrazy
crys, think a big strong guy (spelled wrong)
br5? is anyone still here?
thanks!
k. . . the bu6's, and then i'll be quiet for a while
One Bu6 sounds like a little flying creature. The other you can work on.
Br5 sounds like a very unkind person, but it means 'to spread news of'.
i have the br's- just not the bu's
(thanks!)
Morning everyone :)
morning lotti :)
Hi lotti! Anyone who wants a clue before I split? Busy day today, so I can't hang around too long :(
Hi Sprite i`m off myself in a sec. Need to shower and wake kids for school. Good to see you though :)
Glad at least SOMEONE here is joining my daily rhythm, lol. Have a great day, lotti!
Hi Sprite - my last one: eu6?
hello Sprite....long time no see
You too, see ya later :o)
GreyWoulf, sorry I missed your goodbye hug! I'll leave one for you here to unwrap when you get back. *big warm bearhug for Woulf*
Hi Blaze - haven't seen you around for a while.
Hi there Blaze! Nice to see you again. E6: sea channel characterized by turbulent and unpredictable currents. Had me puzzled for a while. If it gives you trouble, try my part of the world and change some vowels.
Sprite - before you leave could I have a clue for Eu6, please?
I was away for a few days and then have been sporadic about being here..... I did enjoy last nights puzzle....
It's right there in my last post, Cybernan ;) It is a plural, by the way. Sea channelS.
Nite folks. See y'all tomorrow....
Bye Charm!
See ya Charm. Bye everyone, must go......back later :)
Saw it, Sprite - our messages crossed out there somewhere! -- still in the dark though.
continent- change last two vowels to another
I think you can get there by taking my part of the world, starting Eu. The other vowels must be changed.
cybernan think the other continent where france and all are and change the vowels
cybernan, eu is a bit like a continent ...
Well, don't we all agree on this one!
nice :)
Hey Blaze great clue for the EU...thanks!
Got it!! Thank you very much. Actually your clue regarding turbulent water made me think about a certain type of tide, which gave it to me.
*pouts: it was MY brilliant clue! I was first!*
Well I wonder what we do with our free time tomorrow? I gather it's a statutory holiday in the states -- not so in Canada (we call it Rememberance Day).
anyone have a clue for bu 6/30? have the one that sounds like winged animal
LOL cybernan... your tomorrow is my today and it is loaded with work, so I guess I'd better get to it. Kids are off to school, so no more excuses for delaying the inevitable. Have a great night/day/whatever, all of you.
I am a military vet and I have to work tomorrow. : (
I thought I said that, Sprite -- I do give you the credit!
Tbug: try 'agency' or something to work on.
Bye Sprite - have a great day!
Tbug, it's a writing desk ...
Pouting was for jenwould, lol. And I will wave the credits to Blaze, if only for being here when I am and letting me enjoy the company :)
thank you.... I enjoy all your company.....
I've finished...... what will I do with the rest of the day....?? :D
bu's: Let's all sing what the b.... sing and change the first vowel
Babbler, you could help me over here!
what do you need, sprite? hello all, btw!! :)
ty sprite and chessy!
Let's see... there is vacuuming to be done, shopping, some writing, packing for my trip, finding out how to sove this strange electrical problem in the house, a couching session to lead... take your pick :D
awwwww, sprite, just read your biog. :D
*sove = solve
the couching session is that the embroidery couching ??
I *knew* it wouldn't be puzzle-related!! LOL!! :D
OMG... *couching = coaching* This is baaaaaaad! Freudian slip?
I read that as 'coaching'.....
couching is soooooooo much better!!! lol!
LOL! *bows head in shame and gets to work...*
hello, babbler!
hey crys :)
busy busy.... some time over the week end I need to put togther 3- 6 workshop ideas with literature and lecture...
Good night/day everyone -- see you again tomorrow.
bye, nan!
Wow Babbler, that sounds nice! Interesting too.
bye Cybernan any snow up there yet ??
some time over the weekend, I have to pick up where I left off 3 weeks ago when I went away. Heaps and heaps to do!!! yukky poo! :(
Sprite... so sorry **head hangs down in shame* you are cream of the crop, to me and everyone...
babbler how about we meet for tea and let the others sort it out.....LOL
I'll second that Jen! ttfn cybernan! :)
No snow here - lots on the Coquihalla apparently -- snowline here is at about 1700' -- Kelowna is at 1100, so the mountaintops around us have a dusting of white.
We are miserble and grey with rain... although we had a rainbow this morning in our front yard.... it was a great way to start the day....
not a bad idea, Blaze! We can learn to let go,....... delegate, and r-e-l-a-a-a-a-x........ :)
Our morning sunshine turned liquid by afternoon -- such a shame after the great start to the day!
Babbler that is actually what my work shops sometimes are about...LOL
Howdy all! I am here... gonna get started!
Hi Tuva -- really teeny today
Tuva what is your icon ???
Uh, ... men don't like to hear that...
send your surplus people to me - I'll learn 'em a thing or two!! lol!!! (nah, actually I'm a bit of control-freak and prefer to do things myself. I MUST learn to let go....!)
It is none other than the One True God
Ok, today's was quick and painless now... what to do with the last 6 hours of my workday... perhaps start writing my Christmas cards?
ooh... off to a good start.... got 15 words already
Hi Tuva! Only a teeny weeny grid today. Probably won't take you long.
You are singing to the choir Babbler.... how ever over the last ten years I can now let someone else do some things and really enjoy NOT doing it myself.....
hi, tuva!
Hi Crys... did you learn about the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Jen - I'm not doing cards this year -- going to phone everybody as I figure I can talk for 10 minutes for the price of a stamp!
I still struggle with that, Blaze. I've managed to let go as in not do stuff....... as in "does it really need ironing....errr.... no.... ok!" :D
no. . . sounds spooky yet yummy. . .
Cyber, Been neglecting everyone over last year and since our US post office LOVES to raise the cost of stamps ALL the time by pennies, I have 50 stamps to use prior to January. ALso since I bank online, have a plethera of stamps just waiting to be used.
Jen you are a gem..... I agree with Cybernan though... I only have a few out of towners and the rest are near by.... will have them over for coffee or something... and call --- I was making cards for a long time... may do a few again.....hmmmm
LOL jen... I wasn't hurt, just fooling around with you guys. I am in a way too playful mood today. Now where did I hide my seriousness?? Okay, time to hit that red X and get away from the PC! Thanks for the game & company again, you are great people!
ttfn sprite! I'm signing out too. Adieu all! :D
Me too, Sprite - bye everyone!
Babbler! bye! I only have 25 words so far...
A demain, Babbler
I am the out-of -towner, everyone I know and love lives on the East Coast, I'm in Chicago and a little homesick. Completely bored every evening working the noc shift, writing cards will help to pass the time. Also, I love getting cards, the snail mail way so I'll pass that love onto those I love. Dorky... yes I know
you're half way already, Tuva, won't take you long. Put a CD on, you'll be done before it's over! Have fun! :)
A demain, cybernan! (it rhymes!)
suppose I'm outta here as well. See everyone next time. To those of us in the U.S. happy veteran's day!
bye!
Jen that is lovely... you have inspired me I just may change my mind about cards... although i may not mail most of them....but they are still nice to give and recieve
From Canada Happy Veterans Day too

I just finished. That was a fast one, but it is fun to finish one. Have a great day/night everyone
woohooo! i'm DONE! fastest ever. just under an hour. of course, this grid was a lot smaller too, and had very helpful hints. :)
haha mica.
any ideas on dr 5/ 16 ??
Renee - I know the new airpost is great but I miss the landing at Kai Tak - that was incredible.
congrats to renee and pinecone!
yea, i agree dianne. the old airport landings were niceeee. but the new airport looks much fresher. of course, i'm too young to remember the old one well. xD
Dr 5/16 - think of a Dr word that means sag and spell it another way.
*dianne slinks off - feeling her age because she can remember the old airport very well*
As an ex trolley dolly..I used to love any airport with a short runway...pilots drop the aircraft on the runway...always good for a laff....NOT
renee .... i think ive been to the old one where u can actually see the cityscape from the airport <-- this was 10 years ago! the new one... only think i remember i starbucks in the transit longue lol and being stuck there coz of a storm <-- this year!! :P
tbear: lol trolley dolly haha thats a spiffy name ;)
dianne - awww. it's cool that you remember the old airport!!! being 15, i can't really remember much of the old airport. i doubt i ever paid attention to it. all i remember was thinking that the luggage carousel looked really cool. xD anyways. mom's calling for dinner now. so byebye everyone! happy babbling!
Good morning everyone. I'm missing 3 and need to finish quickly as I'm heading out early. Is there really a second bu6/30? I have the little flying one. The others I;m missing are fi4/7 and ti4/7. I have the ti indian tent, the fi4 for a company and the fi4 sounds like apples and pears minus a vowel. Any help?
Eva - 2nd Bu6/30 - a chest of drawers.
Sorry - got mixed up. The other fi4 I have is the strangely spelled green plant.
only thing i vividly remember about the old airport is that it was a location for crossroads international, as i volunteered there quite a few times. andand that i once walked through the airport barefooted, because my godmother told me i could. :)
2 bu 6/30 bu 4/8 + 2 vowels or meaning a chest of drawers
Hi Eva! :) it's either a cupboard or a different spelling of what golfers call one under par for a hole :)
theres no ti 4/7
Thanks guys!
Okay - rushing too much. ti4/4
Eva, do you have the fi4/7 for 'ow! hot!'
ti 4/4 your vehicle needs them to move
Eva, ti4/4 - car rubber round thingies
ti 4 there's 4 on your car eva
ti4/4 - when you quit working for good you re+ti4/4.
Boy, do I feel stupid! (About the car parts)
how about pi 5/ 14 pi 4/ 5 please?
pi 4/5 - you park your boat there.
karma pi 4/5 is where the boat docks pi 5/14 is pi4/6 + r OR an apparatus in the chem lab ... well or sounds like it anyway
was there two pr 4/5?
renee: u walked barefoot at the airport runway?! :o
karma: one PR 4 only
Anj, do you know how many times I tried to find it? The poltergiests must have moved it while I wasn't looking, because it's there now. The bad news, however, is that I seem to have screwed up my list, so I'm missing one more f and don't know which one. I have: the glass one, the misspelled green plant, the company and apples & pears. What amI missing?
Eva, it's never too early for the Obvious Fish :)
and of course the hot one.
Eva, Douglas pine trees?
yep u misspelled the tree but then u forgot to add a plural form!
Anj,if I wasn't already partnered I 'd propose! Off to the shower.
Think my laptop has the flu....it grumbles and wheezes ever since someone 'repaired' it for me...sounds very chesty. Lola love yr icon.....think mine need a little attention..anything to get out of looking for words and improving my rating...
*Anj blushes furiously* Why thankyou Eva :)
alright folks gotta go watch tv now :D until tomorrow!
'bye micamonkey :)

Uh-oh... only 54 words?? I'm scared!
somebody said it took 1/2 hr. not me.
Good morning all. A small grid today.
I like your icon, Jacula
hello again...some interesting words today with no definitions...that bu4/8, for example...
Hello all. I'm taking care of the wee one today. She brings me more joy than babble. Unheard of, I know! But she has completely and utterly stolen my heart.
according to my shorter OED, the bu4: "A woman, a lady, a maiden." Long obscure. origins unkown
gawd..i only have 37 words and am already dorked out..bbl, when i have had 6 or 7 cups of coffee.
hi gramma...be4/7-tiful baby ;)
thanks joel, tried about six dictionaries and couldn't find it
how many words total today kids ?
oed, baby!
Thankx, Sherb. I made it myself. Oh wait...no I didn"t. I had a hand in making the father though.
tr 5/12 anyone, please.
tr5: The rubbery lining of the stomach of cattle or other ruminants, used as food. Breakfast anyone?
if you have cr5 just change the 1st letter
tr5 and onions...a delicacy where I come from (the north of England)!
...but not usually for breakfast, lol
anybody with the eu6?
54 words
sorry, other tr 5/12. already got the yuchy one!
eu6 means a sea channel - sounds like a Greek playwright...
not yet, lizmac.
other tr5/12 - more tr4/5
lizmac, its not falser but tr
sherb-- believe it or not. got it first try. thanks.
that must be the benefits of your classical education...
any clues for the ru4/5 PLEASE
Got it, thanks.
yeah. that's it. classical education. yeah.
sandypops-- ru4-- someone who regrets.
ru4/5 someone who regrets
Aww fanx everyone who helped me....I no longer regret asking lol

why thank you, Jera...yours too...it's a beautiful Remembrance Day today..
Happy Veterans day to all the vets and a big thank you !
I have to hop in the shower i'll bb in a few
Yes, Sprite has a special presentation at her school today, so i have to venture out in the real world before too long... she gave a preview & I got all choked up... she's wearing her poppy we made in Girl Scouts, too.
done. Now what? Work? Yeesh!
jera-- are you implying that this is not the real world. *reels with concept*
LOL
jera-- isn't there a sprite who shows up here? If so, is that your sprite?
No, my daughter, name of Sprite, is Padfoot here. Sprite the Babbler is an adult (I assume).
padfoot. Is there a reason that should sound familiar--other than here?
Sorry I was so slow to answer, I was looking for words & thinking maybe I should go to the hint list... pretty stuck at half-way.
Harry Potter... Sirius' kid club name when he & HP's dad were at Hogwarts being prats
gotcha! I was thinking HP.
no reason to apologize. we're all babblers on this bus.
Sirius is her favorite cuz she wants a dog, & she ain't geting one until she can take care of it completely by herself.
I'm a cat person, dogs annoy me.
Are you planning on seeing the new HP movie?
anyone need some help before i leave??
Jera - gotta step in Dogs are great. My best friend is my dog he has never talked back to me screwed my boyfreind or betrayed me in any way
Any clue for the second bu6? Not the flying animal?
Same for my cat, LOL! He's a teenager & my buddy.
Federal bu6 of Investigation
There's a bu6?? I haven't even looked at the hints list yet... flying animals, hmmmm...
Got it. Thanks, chita!
Animals are so honest it's almost scary
I used to have a black cat that would practically take over rituals... spooky, like he knew what we were doing...
faerie...i f you take me in...feed me...love me...and clean up after me...I promise not to screw your boyfriend too
I do not doubt that for a minute, my dog understands english better than some people I know LOL
clues for au6/30 Please..?
anyone else need any help???
Yikes, I think I found the "flying animal" LOL... fuuny Babble words
Ouwachita - would you love me unconditionally and give me kisses when I need them the most and lick the tears from my cheeks??????
its the time of the season...lol
Patact... love your icon!! What sweethearts!
thanks...brother and sister rescue shelter adoptees
patact - au6/30 not blonde or brunette...
faerie...of course...I love kissing and licking
Mine warms my feet at night & entertains my children while I nap, too! Getting to be a tall order...
Found kitties are the best... they are soo grateful
thanks for the clue that was staring at me and laughing that I didn't see it
Whoo-hoo, my first A word!!
THese two are the best company--although being black they often trip me up at night
Wow - where are you? I could use a nice kiss. I only get weekend visits with my dog (shared custody with exhusband)
I had black satin sheets in college... looked for Joshua (my black cat) for a solid hour... found him when he blinked. The little bugger had been on the bed the whole friggin' time!!
from Pennsylvania
I have a black throw on my chair, and the same thing has happened to me. Both of them were there and playing hide and seek with me.
pe/4 , anyone? NOT the hairdo!
beginning of ______winkle
bluish / purple color...
Morning everyone!! All this talk about animals! What's up?
dang I'm in Michigan
I was disappointed, no perp (I love cop shows) or Peru...
GREAT.........One to go!!!!
We just fell into a cat discussion somehow... oh yeah Joelgee started it then wandered off...
gotta step out for a few mins. the Boss is calling me again (at work) must need his shoes polished or something stupid
He asked if Sprite the Babbler was my daughter Sprite. My daughter is Padfoot here... which sparked a cats vs. dogs discussion (I think cats won?).
Well all I have to say is I must love my animals very much... spent $527 yesterday at the vet for my dog!! All because he has a sensitive stomach!
Last one, any clues for be/4 ?
Bye Faerie, nice chatting with you!
be4 - sweetheart
My cat Zack has FUS & has to eat special diet food & has had to have 2 $400.00 surgeries. Fortunately he's worth it!
Chester was going to the bathroom too much then not at all (if you get my drift)... they did a ga-zillion labs, x-rays, 2 antibiotics... oh and he needs his teeth cleaned to the tune of around $650!!
a friend of mine had a constipated iguana . . . after trying everything, they discovered that Ernie (actually a "she") was able to do his business after riding in the car . . . so they drove her around at all hours to help with her "blockage"!
Oh my. I've done that to get a kid to sleep... never to make a reptile poop, LOL!
TaRaaaaaaah !!! First time I've finished a Babble.
precisely!!
A constipated iguana... now that's a funny concept for a Friday morning! LOL He could barely jump in the car yesterday, it was really pitiful.
My son & I are being bad... Girl Scout Cookies for breakfast!!
Jera, I made nachos for breakfast yesterday!
Confetti for lizmac! Huzzah!!
You're my kind of mom, Jen!
years ago I had a Korean coworker who brought in garlic zucchini bread for breakfast . . . to share . . .
Garlic for breakfast... don't think I could handle that. Of course any job where you have to bring breakfast starts too early in my book...
I dunno, garlic sounds better than anything sweet to me. Breakfast is waaaay to early to start a sugar rush in my book.
Well, they are shortbread... I don't like too sweet for breakfast, either. Donut? Yuk. Anyway, the cookies wer my son's idea!
12 words left! What a hard grid.
Am I the only one who is finding this grid harder than most big ones? I thought I would fly through it!
You are not the only one, ExWren... I was frightened when i saw how short this one was
hi. had to leave momentarily. Done with grid. Don't know what to do with myself. Work, I guess. Anybody need anything?
17 to go & I'm bailing... gonna go check out BA hint list... I'll be back!
The pr 4/6 escapes me for the moment?
pr 4 pr** school or test pr**
Thank you jessmom, I didn't see that one. Now, if I can get the last three, I can do something else with my day for a change. pi 4/6..pi5/14...pi 5/14 ????
Joelgee, how about help with the eu6...
pi 5 - time to pay the pi- (which also gives you a pi4)
The other pi5 is a little bird.
eu6-- A sea channel characterized by turbulent and unpredictable currents. Sounds like part of an ancient Greek playwright.
That was a lovely one, thanks you!
thanks. can't take credit. I think sherb gave it to me earlier. Worked on first try.
How about the last be? I've got the fish ready...
Thank you Vicuna, I hadn't even seen the 'p' in the bottom left corner! I'm usually quite intelligent!
be, like the pe 4/6, different start letter
the last be: when they build a freeway, they build a be** as a sound barrier.
Missing a letter is no sign of lack of intelligence --- I hope! Or else I'm getting dumber by the minute!
Wow, learn something new every day here at Babble (even if you don't want to)!
At least I didn't need the fish... :>
they don't have be4s in Va? In MI, you can't spit without hitting one.
Not that I make a habit of be4-spitting.
. . . or spitting in general
I'm really thrown by being done this soon. Well, back to work.
Oh they have them, just didn't know what they were called... I call 'em sound barriers... I'm so boring...
May I have a clue for the dr4/8? Hopefully the next dr/5 is a plural or somehow related...
Jera, Dr4/8 To soundly defeat. Love your icon.
Got it... is that a br4/6 word?? I did the math...
Rats, the dr5/16 doesn't seem to follow... help again?
I made up the Dr5/16 & it took it!! Sounds like to sag, but spelt differently.
Never mind, got it...
Yup, that's the one... thanks anyway Queen!
You're welcome. Don't you just love monkey typing?? :)
I like to toss in foreign words... always fun when that works...
Afternoon all
With this game I've learned it's "whatever works!" Guess I should get a life now. Been at it for about 40 minutes & have 33 words. Time for a break. Have a good one!
Need help with the ur, please... math isn't working for ths one...
Rats, I missed Queen whist noodling... oh well...
Never mind, got the u...
wow another small one today. I am kind of relieved, don't have much time, maybe I will finish this one. lol
Need help with last two.. a pi4/5 (I have the dock) & pi5/14 (I have the musician) ...
Greetings, nukem... it's small but on the tough side...
jera the pi 5 is a bird also called titlark
pi 4 is a bobbin
good arvo!! bubs, how come you you've changed your name?
Yay! help has arrived!!
Got the bird but the bobbin clue doesn't help... more, please?
never mind... I got it! Yay, doneness!!
*throws confetti for Jera*
jera! let me do that for you! * throws choclate and confetti*
i emailed jamie aka Dr_god!!! and asked very nicely fluttered eye lashes etc
RANKINGS UPDATE Thanks to highlander I realized that there was a large bug in the calculation of the Village Elders ladder. It is now displaying the correct totals. All hail the new and rightful Village Elder - marigold. Sorry, sprite. Your reign was short but sweet.
ahhh x
i'm finding this one difficult, are you?
Dr-g, why are some of the names in the rankings highlighted and some not? :)
Bobsta- The highlighted ones are the Pro players that have profiles. They're actually links (without the underlines.)
extremely babe, i've only got 28 words so far x
i wondered that, thought it might be pros?
thank you dr_g, shoulda realised! :/
i was right!!! See babe not just a pretty face!!! I've got 14 so far
yeah yeah! xx
I just realized that marigold was the Village Elder even before the bug fix. I guess there won't be a shift of power after all. ;)
checky sod!! You can go out on your own tonight for that comment!!!
make that 26 words so far. x
Bobsta the count is meant to go up not down LOL Hi everyone :)
hey lotti, how goes it?
yeah bobsta your so stupid!!! Hi Lotti
Have I missed the fun??

Hi Bubbles, i`m sure you wouldn`t have him any other way!!!!! Lol Hi again Anj, Macadam sends her love :)
Hi Bobsta, Temple :) It's p7/40 down here... :/
Hi Temple :) Bobsta the wind is howling here too, just an added bonus to the cold and rain :/

Hi Lotti, Bubbles :) Cheers hun - send mine back. Hope she's feeling chipper.
hi anj, you ok?
I think she`s back to knitting again until she can get back online!!
Okay, the wee one is sleeping and I've finished the grid. Does any1 need help before I go?
Great thanx Bubbles - and you? Must admit to having a 'hang on a sec' moment over the village elders totals today. I though they all looked too low lol Cheers Dr G :)
what does NaN mean on my points?
Ed, it means press f5 :)
Ed it means you need to refresh your browser page
movieman here, saying 'hi' to all u dudes out there in the mysterious world of Babbleland... P.S. Like my new icon...just feeling a bit patriotic 2day... P.P.S. Don't be fooled...just because there are only 54 words doesn't mean 2day's Babble is easy...
I didn't select save for 4 hours worth of work today, so a bit stressed!!! Apart from that i'm ok
this one is monkey-typing heaven!!!
Greetings Movieman :)
Thanks Gramma i`m tearing my hair out for the first fi4/7, do you have a clue?
And you call me stupid!!
first fi4/7 - its a flaming good word!
lottijw, it's HOT!
Now, now Bobsta and Bubbles......NO domestics!!!!!!LOL
Oh cr*p... it's the 11th. OK, i've changed my icon as it could be in bad taste :/
Ty ty ty Gramma....i didn`t double back. Once again Thankyou!!
Bubbles, don't you use autosave??
hi movieman! Hi anj, atalante,bobsta, bubbles, gramma, lotti, and anyone else who has come on! *whew* a gaggle of babblers on line now!
thanks for your sympathy bobsta!
Yw. Anything else?
hiya temple ;)
I just thought I'd pop online and see how others are doing and if clues are needed for anything!
Anj I nearly mentioned the 2min silence to you this morning before I left, but you`re always a step ahead so I didn`t bother!! Sorry
Hey, 72 temple owl.
hi temple
Hi Temple:) No thanks Gramma, i`m good for now Cheers :o)
Lotti, my mental compass was pointed at Remembrance Sunday not the 11th :(
Oh well, next time Anj :)

Bye Gramma....thanks ;)
Morning. Veterans' Day here today. Odd grid.
See ya later Anj :o)
Hi Mab :)
hey everyone. sick hurshy here. sore throat. sniffle.
RANKINGS UPDATE To avoid the confusion about why some players on the Rankings page are green (it just means they're Pros with profiles,) I've added little profile icons.
Oooohhhh, there there Hurshy :)
Thanks Dr G...must have a nosey at that :)
ooh, a divine visitation in my hour of need. and thanks to lotti too. not divine but close.
thank you dr_g, makes perfect sense now. ;)
so who will be nice to sick hurshy and give her a clue for the bu6 that doesn't sound like it goes cheep cheep.
oooooh, I'm at the top of the list!! :D (I know, I know, it's to tell me how I rank!) just popped in before I crack on with more chores. Hello!
i'm off bye all
hurshy - you write on it...... or think agency (that helped me)
Chest of drawers, hurshy. Sorry you aren't well.
see ya at 7 bubs xx
just scrolled down - get well soon, hurshy luv!
ah, thank you, thank you.
hopefully, got to see lou in half hour!! x x

if it's not too much trouble, may i also have an eu clue?
oh, babblers are so sympathetic.

good golly, i have the eu. it took one of my monkey types while i wasn't looking!
bye, bubbles...
no shes having hair done in south woodford till late so i'll pop in quick and leave her!!
hurshy - begin with the continent where France/UK etc are, then play around with the rest of the letters. I got it by working out the values of the tiles....
bye lotti temple, i really am going now ...................
may i have fr5/18 please?
Hi Hurshy, Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.
aaaaaaaand I was too slow!!! well done, hurshy!
72TO - you should have 5 portions a day.......
Hey all
hi, dbg...
Temple, apples and bananas etc Hi DBG :)
hi ToeSock! :)
hi dbg :)
babbler - not your fault. you could never have been fast enough, as i actually had it before i made the request!
A sea channel characterized by turbulent waters = eu; but sounds a bit like the continent.
hi toes...everyone - am at home and can't see log and grid at same time...so i am not ignoring you : )
ooooooooooh that is a fish slapping word if there ever was one LOL
Oh a hard one today! :P
put a CD on, ToeSock, you might finish before it's over. I did this morning!
*hands haddock of obviousness to 72TO*
Babble - great idea! I think I will...
Hello everyone! A baby puzzle today, I see.
thanks, babbs : )
hi Hazz! As diddy puzzles go, it's not too evil...... :)
Hi TSM, hi Hazzardous. I keep sloping off to non babble land :)
(says she who monkey-typed and spent ages working out tile values!!! lol!) :D
Not bad! I've got 33 words already and I've only been playing for 15 minutes! Maybe I'll have time for the rest of my life today......Oh, do I have a rest of my life?
........ well, that's what I thought Hazz.... and look at me, neglecting my chores to chill and chat here, even though I finished this morning! lol! :)
Yay, Babbler, and I thought I was addicted! :)
I'm tired. Babble lets go out and get some coffee! :)
lol! I am soooooo addicted! :)
Any hints on the 6 letter words???
sounds good, ToeSock! *gets coat, pulls new boots on...*
au6/30 - hair colour bu6/30 - sounds like a tweet tweet bu6/30 - a writing desk, or think agency eu6/24 - sounds like the continent, play around with letters have I got them all??....
grr... seriously have tried all combos ru 4/5!!!! please give clue and prove me wrong.
LOL! hurshy, you are soooo going to kick yourself for starting this puzzle, in fact you might ru* the day you started at all..... which would make you a ru** :D
i will not r3 the day - babble cheering to sick hurshy. only 7 words left.
Is our creature du jour a bird? I want budgie, but the grid won't cooperate.
*jumps up and down in excited anticipation* didya gettit? didya gettit?? :)
Babbler - you have them all - there are only 4 6-letter words today
mab - it SOUNDS like a tweet tweet...... no definition in the dictionary...
DONE! * jumps up and down*
congrats owl!
bravo T-Owl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Well done Temple Owl! What a silly word, that bu.
Way to go, Temple! Now what are you going to do?
Hello everyone who said hi earlier. I got called away from my desk as soon as I posted my first message. I wasn't ignorning any of you honest!
I agree, Mab. I just googled it to see if I could find a definition, and I couldn't.
sickie done too! only about half hour. me think sick help.
but so far behind that i cannot stay - BBL, all again this one is monkeytyping heaven...hate to say it but i turned off brain and type d when stuck!
bravo hurshy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi SDBG!
Well done Hurshy, hope you feel better!
bye temple (btw, that's what i usually do!) :)
Can I not add. Monkied ever possible combination for RU 4/5 and nothing works. Very aggravating.
*indoor voice, hursy's being sick* yay hurshy! feel better...
me too! see you later, T-Owl
dangus - i did the exact same thing. see babbler's clue at 10:28
dangus - begin with the lower r
dangus, see my post to hurshy, 10.28am (scroll down a tad)
well, since babbler's here to give clues, i guess i will go and try to take a nap.
take care, hurshy. Hope you feel better soon, luvvie. :) xxx
much appreciated. babble on!
I found a website that is giving away free laptop computers...So I can play Babble anytime I want...My friend just actually got his and he also got an ipod from them...
Feel better Hurshy
tell us more, pearljam!
Hi everyone - just stopped in to see who is here -- hate these short ones when nobody hangs around for very long!
okay...why isn't one who bu 4/8's a word???
http://pcs.freepay.com/?r=2349 6959 this is the website...for the PC and then if you go to freepay.com you can get free Ipods, Xbox, flatscreens...
Hello Hazzardous - now that's an icon that really catches the eye!
Good point, songbird -- it should be a word, shouldn't it!
I just looked up the bu4/8 and the bu6 in my big, fat, huge Longman's dictionary, and they're not in there either!! Blimey!
certainly makes more sense than the bu 6 that sounds like a tweet tweet...to use Babbler's clue.
I need .....DUMB WORK.....interupting my babble time......Thanks Babbler, I swear I tried that, but obviously I didn't.
Thanks, Cybernan! I thought it was quite striking!
Hi Cybernan, i`m always lurking somewhere!!!! LOL
hi cybernan! hi lotti!
I'm off to creat a new icon, since the popppy must come down tonight. Good luck to those of you who are still hunting -- anyone need a clue before I leave?
Hi Babbler :) How ya doin today?
Hi Babbler, Lotti - not hanging around much longer.

Hi all - fleeting visit tonight - this small grid is making me quite nostalgic for the 400 ones!! - I have been babbling quietly through the day in 5 min spurts & have all but 1 word! Any clues please for the ur4?
ur4 - a type of acid one might find in a diaper?
snowy..is it football or cartoons that have won the day
sorry....Hi everyone...Hubby gone to work/daughter gone out..a nice peaceful babble
Hi CATHB - The rugby!!! I am amazed - this is the first time he's won for ages!
hi cathb! i wonder what that's like. the quiet.
snowy just rwalised you have found some "poppies"
BLISS 11 scoutsmom..
definately have got probs with this keyboard (or my typing)..I will try changing the batteies
sparky - thanks for the clue but the acid I'd expect to fing in a nappy is'nt in this grid! Any more obvious clues around!
OMG having the same prob cath & mines got a plug!!!!
Hi everyone.....snowy...rearrange your heaing organ and add it to the 'u'
I have the saggy Dr...how 'bout the other one? Thx
Apologies sparky & thanks Karys - I must learn to to look for the less obvious!!!!!
dr5....you might fall in a snow one !!
Hi Snowy, cathb, karys :) pbr - The dr4's are what a leaky faucet does, and d plus what a masseuse does
snowy i think we were both looking the same way for the acid
Hi Bugzby
yw snowy
hi Bugzy how are u
hi bugzy :)
cathb - It's 4pm on a Friday, so I am ready to leave work and start the weekend!! Have to stay another half hour though... :)
9.00pm here bugzy - day nearly over and now I,ve finished the grid I will have to find something useful to do! Still got bedtime stories to read for the littlies (they get a late night at nana's house!)
Less time in Babble-land with these short puzzles... How many grandkids and what ages, Snowy?
WOW just had a look at the rankings - a vast improvement on what was there yesterday! Thankyou Dr God a definate yes vote from snowy anyway!
its great for me - I can usualy only manage an hour or most nights so a small grid means I have a chance to complete one for a change
Bugzy we had 5 in three 1/2 years! a set of twins (girls) who are 6 in Jan, they have a 3yr old sister & a 5yr old girl who has a 2 yr old brother - all gorgeous - but I'm biased!!
no snowy I can vouch for that
Wow! What a lot of little ones! Lucky for them that they have so many cousins/siblings so close in age! You don't have all of them tonight, do you???
If you refresh you can see a photo ( bit distorted) taken summer 04
Only 3 tonight. I have them regularly overnight as mum sometimes works nights and dad (my son) is on the R.A.F and is home 6 days and away 6 days. I haven't tried 5 overnight yet but often have 5 for breakfast - getting 5 to 3 different schools and nurseries can be interesting!
Too cute! And what a good grandma you are! I have 2 boys - soon to be 6 and just turned 2 - my mom is watching them tomorrow night... she doesn't watch them too often - once every month or two if we're lucky - she says they tire her out too much!!
Hey, hey, hey, another one bites the dust! Okay, so it was a small grid, but you take victories where you can get them!! :)
Yay queenruejean!!
I must be having a "braindead moment" but my excuse its been a busy week in work - can i ask for help on the 2nd bu 6/30..i have the "feathered" one
They are exhausting but I do love children and we lived too far away for our parents to babysit our two so I try to make up for it now
CathB you have one in your living room - french for office
cathb, it's another word for dresser.
Thanks Bugzy! CathB, it's a dresser or the Federal B... of Investigation.
Congrats Queen! Have a queue of 3 children with 3 different books - I may be gone some time as Cpt Oakes said! BBL! LOL
thank you everyone...it doesnt bode well to get stuck that early but as usual I was looking in wrong direction...better make a cup of tea i think..anyone for tea and biscuits ?
Happy reading Snowy! That's it for me too - have to go pick up the little ones - Bye all :)
snowy..have found Kira an "opposites" jigsaw...
Bye Bugzy & Snowy. Happy reading, Snowy!
bye bugzy
I have two silly little ones left to finish for the first time.Help please ru4-not the country cousin one and bu4 not too hot to handle or the oe that follows food!!
Deeha bu4/8..alternative spelling of your feathered friend
Deeha, ru4, one who regrets Bu4 sounds like something that chirps, but spelt differently.
deeha, the ru you're looking for means "one who is regretful." you'll r** the day you ever crossed my path!
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah Thanks very much for those I am off to lie down in a darkened room to recover from the shock I'll be out in a couple of days time!!!!

the eu is the name of a greek playwright, minus the "des" on the end.
not getting the 2nd BU6 frustrated
Hi leen - was it that bad then? Hubby watched it while I bathed the grandchildren so didn't see it.
why on earth would you finish with only 6 left to find?
snowyowl - just don't go outside waving the welsh flag for a while, it was soooooooo bad! (Even tho' we won - just!)
Oh hi Cath! Thought I was getting tea too, but it's gone all quiet downstairs.
Oh that bad!
Minski: it goes "tweet! tweet!" it's just not spelled the same.
and the welsh take over the log! 'bout bloody time too. We struggle with the national sport. I think the new national sport of Wales should be Babble...
Minski do you have the bu4 before it? Just add ie
Any help on the Tw available?
snowy..youknow how many times you have to tell him"
thanx scoutsmum :)
Cadfan...think idiot
oh dear - better not rely on me then - I have only ever finished one puzzle!
cadfan, a bully would call a little skinny guy this word. or a big brother would use it in reference to his little brother.
I'll second that Dachef! Mind you I'll need a lot more training before I make the team! We'd probably win if it was stag & hen nights! We do those very well!
ahh - got it... would never have thought to spell it that way....
I need help with br 5/16. I'm going crazy.
leen - concerted effort tonight then - you will definately finish this one! Copy the stats from babblers anonymous into natepad - and ask for any clues you need!
y'all are making my day. i like feeling helpful.
I'll second that too..
Thanks Snowy! DONE! And before my guests get here. They are only 1 1/2 hours late but at least a 4 hour drive and no cell phone. They never call from the road to report progress. Annoying. I'm going to give them one of those pay as you go cell phones for christmas.
...haven't got a natepad...and I thought I'd given you a good education...
nava, add a vowel to your br4/6.
I'm short on time and need an fr5, a pu4 and an ri 4
CATHB do you think he'll sulk if I intercom him with the phone! LOL
Minski - congrats
fr5 think apple, pear, banana etc
BR rough guy....spelt with an extra vowel in the middle Realized I'm missing last Pi 4/5....anyone???
snowy...it will take him half an hour to find it
quickly: fr5: apples/oranges/bananas!
FR5 you should eat at least 5 servings of FR5 and vegetables every day
Cadfan which pu and which ri?
pu4: clean like ivory soap, or change the last vowel of that.
pi4 sounds like but not spelled like an aniseed alcoholic drink
last pi4 is just like your 2nd fi4.
I still can't figure it out. I have tried bruit, and any other combination, still no luck.
Thanx all :) Now I can go sleep! Good luck!!!
Nava....u got it....refresh your page
nava, it accepted bruit from me
nava it is what you typed!
Thanks, I tried that so many times, but without refreshing. Thanks again.
Yes....babble does that at times...ok...good luck all. bye :)
yw There's nothing worse than waiting is there? Make yourself a drink, sit down and relax- they'll arrive almost immediately!!!LOL
dr 5/16 -- any clues out there? please and thank you
bye, minz. good night!
bye minz! anyone got the 2nd be? I have the pretty one!
dr5 is what my breasts did after I had my baby.
need help with ab
scoutsmom - good clue! not that I know about your breasts, of course.....
ab --- i have no idea what it means australian beef research institute!!!
dachef, it means the shoulder of a road. rhymes with a period of school, or a period of holding office.
Dachef! don't go paddling in murky waters your mum is around!!! LOL
ab 4/6??
be 4/7 a curb
ab 4/6 only comes as an acronym
scoutsmom - yeah, I got it from your first clue. That was more on my rather depraved wavelength....
sorry - bott booted off. Found the pu, need the ri that isn't a tear or a brown banana
nava. if you asked the guy at the cheese shop for a soft french cheese that goes nicely with fruit, he'd sell you ab**. that's what it sounds like, anyway.
snowyowl - its ok, my mum knows me. She's had to put up with me for long enough!
eu 6/24 anyone?
Got it, thanks
lol Cadfan replace the t on your tear with and s
please,last word, and I'm late for a meeting ri 4 not like an argument or an old piece of fruit
Oh for hevens sake.. why didn't I think of that! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
YW YW YW
thanks snowyowl, I needed that one too.
Finished! Ta Dah!
eu6 - the continent that UK is part of replace the 2nd and 3rd vowels with a third vowel (same for both_
leen yw Congrat harpjane!!!!!
cadfan, it's what you play on a guitar.
ri4: or the name of the Jet that dies in "West Side Story."
Congrats, HarpJane!
way to go, harpjane! Cadfan, did you get it?
My typing is abysmal tonight! Thank God I don't have to do it for a living!
finally got that eu TY snowy
i like that word, abysmal. i don't use it enough.
Last one - pi5/14 - help please. Have the Pied ***** Thanks
CATHB you still there?
carp, add pi- to what you find in a peach.
still here snowy...
pi 5/14 is a bird, i didn't have the other one so TY for that
anyone need anything else before I go? the weekend begins...NOW! in my world.
hey mom tw???
Hi. Thought I'd flutter in for a spell. How's life in the babbleverse?
just another 10 words ScoutsMom!!!!..thanks for your help and enjoy your weekend..
Hi joel. Look out, there seems to be an abundance of Welsh here tonight!
Hi joelgee - beautiful icon - how are you?
Joelgee, love your icon! Hope you are having a good day!
okay, snowy. Is that your brood?
have good weekend scouts mom
hello again everyone....purring away here !
aknitter, it's what a big brother would call his pesky little brother. "Get out of my room, you little tw5!"
dachef-- okay, there's a wealth of welsh. What exactly should I look out for?
My grandchildren Joel - I have 3 staying tonight and I put them in to show someone
thanks, snowy! going to visit my Gentleman Friend.
Hi Karys - you finished?
leeks....perhaps joel
sitting here listening to the rain - thinking my daughter is going to get wet..as usual gone out with no coat as they all do..no umbrella and probabaly not a lot on her feet either...snowy does it remind you of anything!
They look like they haven't been fed recently.
thanx scouts mom lord knows i her that enough around my house don't know why i didn't think of it.
yes snowy.....this afternoon.....only came back to see everyone
see y'all monday!
LOL joel check for leeks & spontaneous singing!
Hi karys! Joel - look out for an inate disposition to look for words beginnng with ll, and beware of place names that are only one word but are completely unpronouncable and take up 3 pages of text.
...and butties...
hey, queen. Karys, I'll , um, look out for leeks.
LOL CATHB You don''t feel thr cold when you're young - Remember!
LOL Dachef....hi there
dont forget cockles and laverbread
thats what i was thinking of snowy...
makes good soups don't they Dachef ?
leen-- I'll watch out for butties, but don't know what they are. dachef-- If that's the worst. . .
yay my first completed puzzle ^.^
Joel!!!! It was difficult to fit them all in is all!!!! They are GORGEOUS -and fully rounded in real life!!!!
oceanica-- Hail and congrats!
well done oceanica
butties as in friends...or chips!
Congrats, Oceanica!
WELL DONE Oceanica !!!
snowy-- i'm just funnin' with you, just pulling your plumage.
chip butties....
has to be chips leen !!
couldn't have done it without my work colleague, we do it together in work when we get time
CONGATS Oceanica
nice one oceania - well done!
well done Oceanica's friend !!
Well I'm really ruffled LOL
mmm...could just do with a nice chip buttie..dachef get cooking!
Didn't like today's grid. Finished too quickly this morning. Meant I had to work.
Oh, Snowy, you're a Hoot!
had a chip buttie earlier tonight !!!....was just as good as ever !!
anyone know if wales beat fiji?? last i seen it was 0-0
joel - around all these welsh people it might be advisable to fill you in on some facts. We are not, nor at any time have been, part of England. We are mostly crazy, mostly drunk, and have a peculiar predisposition towards sheep. And daffodils. Actually, thats probably just me....
just googled chip buttie. Geez, that sounds horrifically greasy. Can I get one to go?
LOl ...joel....send you one next time ok ?
how many words to complete puzzle...new player
Well, at least you give the sheep flowers before. . .
oceanica - beat them by a measly one point -
Sure, karys. I pop in and you pop out. I won't take it personally or anything. Later.
they played like sh**, kept dropping the ball the muppets
54 justjack
justjack...54
okay...i'll keep trying...i have 49 ... sheesh
sorry joel....no please don't....
oceanica - are you in Wales too?
justjack-- If you look over to the right, you'll see a link to Babblers Anonymous. Click it to go to chat board. Click General. You'll see a posting with today's date. Click that for all the info you'll need.
yes about 30 mins from cardiff
karys, okay. with that grin, how could I?
oceanica - which way
ooohh...is it ok to ask where oceanica ?
The Welsh are doing well here tonight then! Just as well really!
joel....suddenly it doesn't look too good with your new icon !!!!
going now..thanks joelgee
a small town called caldicot, in between newport & chepstow
I guess it's just the Queen and I representing the NA continent.
Karys-- I'd better not see any feathers dangling from your icon's mouth.
Looks that way, Joelgee. Up the States! :)
ty...oceanica....man has to 'do' Wales every month or so and sometimes I come with him...around Cardiff and Swansea...and I feel sort of adoptive !!
My uncle and aunt kept a pub there in the 70s but I can't remember what it was called! So thats a whole lot of useless info for you! My cousin was married there too!
oceanic - how's blackrock?
Karys - snowy and i live near swansea
no joel....your icon just too beautiful !!!
heheh never been swansea, but cardiff is good for shopping ^^, but wages not good for shopping not enough ^^
qrj-- don't know that I'd go that far.
And your name spelled with a C is Welsh too Karys
ooohhh...a nice warm feeling here then Cath xx
Actually, when I was in England 20 some years ago, everyone kept asking if I was from the "colonies." :)
I know snowy ....one of the reasons I chose it....get dropped off to shop in Swansea
We are very glad to welcome you to our Welsh clique Joel & Queen! Thats another thing the Welsh are good at - we're very friendly - but we're also very nosy!!!!
Actually--and I couldn't make this up--I wandered onto the "Nudes for Peace" website and got the dove there.
Get to go to Porthcawl as well....like it there
Thanks for the welcome! I have no prob with nosy!
So am I now somewhat Welsh? Do I have to listen to Tom Jones?
nudes for peace?!?!?!? poor deluded souls. then again, who wants to fight a bunch of naked people. Way too distracting....
Must have been England Queen - in Wales we'd want to know your great grandmothers name, where she was from and your shoe size and any other info we could wheedle out of you!
Do I have to remove all of the vowels from my keyboard?
i had a bad experience in porthcawl, i want to forget. had to escort a resident from the home i work at there and as i was pushing him around he had his hand in his trousers. I wondered why people was staring :D
dachef-- everytime I think I've seen it all . . . But a guy who frolics with sheep shouldn't throw stones.
listening to Tom Jones is not compulsory - but knowing the words to Green Green Grass of home could be! Or maybe Delilah!
Yup, England. We were going to go to Wales, but ran out of time. :( Too bad. I've always wanted to go there.
might help joel !!
ooopps...lol ocean.....
LOL oceanica -
i was so embarrassed
sorry for message delay....had to refresh !!
I like Tom Jones, but will pick Dave Edmunds for Welshman of choice. Musically speaking, of course.
queenruejean - every time to English come to Wales, we actually charge them! True!
Ocean LOL!!!!!!!!!!
didn't have to pay to get into Porthmadog last time we went Chef
Dachef, guess we would have paid then. I was with my sister who married a Brit soldier.
only over the Severn Bridge karys
unless you go the back way through gloucester & that, then you dont have to pay :D
They're not as mean in the north Karys! You have to pasy a toll on the Severn Bridge - I would like to point out that the Welsh also have to pay for the privelige of going home!
I have got 7 left to find so will concentrate for a bit
pasy?
dehydration snowy
don't do Severn Bridge snowy
Just figured it was Welsh, Snowy! LOL
privelige? It's time to stop folks! Am off to irritate the husband!! Goodnight and thanks for all the lovely company Nos Da xx
yes, unfortunately, we also have to pay for the privelage of returning home. Its to do with, as usual, business, and the people who built the bridge wanting to make some money out of it!
Night, Snowy. Have fun irritating your husband. :)
night snowyowl - nos da i ti
Snowyowl - Nos Da!

joel - struggling a bit on the last pi4/5 - any clues?
yes please! help with the two a words -
I guess this is a language I don't understand ocean...!!
it's like dragon riders of pi**, if that means anything to you.
leen - ab4 = African Bureau of Research and Investigation. au6 - gingerish hair colour.
small sharp thing that sticks in you with an added letter Chef
its a role playing game like the final fantasy series, but its an online one and you play with people from all over the world
dachef - trade you the pi for the two a's - rhymes with turn
ty for your patience ocean.....have fun then !!!
one of the a words (the longer one) is a hair color, kind of reddish
thanks joelgee and dachef...
iro.ragnarokonline.com type this into the internet address bar and it will take you to the international site, you can see then what it is about. Nitey nite
the short one is ab + the postal abbreviation for one of the the American new england states. Monkey type. you'll find it. No def.

Finally found the pr4. Sorry the clues didn't help.
Last word tw/5. Can't find it. Help
ru4 - a sluttish woman - still can't get it! how 'bout the tr5 also 47 and counting
Congrats ...Chef.....Mum's have to win sometimes !!
pbr I can't get it either the ru slutty one
tw5....A person regarded as insignificant and contemptible
pbr....tr5....tr4 with a vowel on the end
maybe a slightly different spelling of it than you think of
granny...something you're sorry about ....with a letter on the end
tr5 umm animals innards.. ewwww
Karys - I have that one -- I need the other one 4/5
still need that tw 5. last word
RU4/7 - think of a gem and change the last letter.
yes ...bod...I thought that about the spelling....then I thought was perhaps just me !
ru4/7- counrty bumpkin or the jewel with a vowel at the end instead of a y
sorry peri
TW5/20 - if someone is playing a joke on you, you could say "Why you little tw5/20"
hi guys. sorry i'm so late my parents stopped me from playing earlier so i made a homemade bogge puzzle and i'm sure there are still more words to find in it!
brb
Thank you everyone, finally found that tw/5.
well done peri !
What cubic is to cube, so is rubic to ru4/7
beautiful dog Haz :)
Isn't she? It's Spangle, my Welsh springer.
Thanks, Karys. Now I have time to read.
Haz1558 I have that ru -- i need the other one
nice name too !
ru 4/5 one who regrets (think of French for street)
pbr....you need the 'sorry' one then
pbr - the ru4/5 - If someone wants revenge they can say "You will ru* the day you ever met me!". ru4/5 is the person doing the ru*ing. Ok, that's a weird clue...Sorry, the best I can come up with! LOL
thats the word I was looking for Haz....regret...senior moment I think !!
We all have our senior moments!
yeah.....too many now tho' Haz !!
does anyone have a hint for ri 5/12?
Do you have the times when you go upstairs, forget why you're there, go downstairs, then remember?!
lapin......more ready for picking !!
DirtBikeGirl - finally got the Ru - 49 and counting still stuck on the darn Eu, one tr4, and Ur
Ri 5/12 is more ri4/5
ri\5\12-more ripe
have to go back downstairs to remember....retrace steps thing !!!
The time I've wasted looking for things...
pbr...u plus ..rearrange your hearing organ
I think someone in this house is trying to make me feel like I'm going crazy !!!!....lol
PBR - Eu - you're a pie.
Like in Gaslight, you mean?
thats it Haz....got it in one...!!
and now its time for bed...(said Zebedee)...ni nite everyone....good luck....xx
Goodnight Karys, and watch out for the light flickering...
I will Haz xx
DirtBikeGirl - I'll figure that darn eu yet
eu - first three letters that of a continent. Last three letters rhyme with yipee
pbr - sorry! I was trying to not be too blatant. It sounds like my last clue...
Oops, maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong...try "You're a pea" instead... LOL!
any help on the bu6? i've got the place i keep me clothing.
BU6/30 - "A little bi**** told me", change second letter to a U, but it sounds the same.
DirtBikeGirl - finally -- thanks all for the help. let's see, I have never been this close to finishing - I have the second pi14, the second tr4 and 5
tx dirt bike girl, should have been able to nab that one on my own. but my brain is fried
got the t's
If you need the second pi 5/14 it's "Any of various widely distributed songbirds of the genus Anthus, characteristically having brownish upper plumage and a streaked breast"
That's OK! It's a Friday, I think everyones brains are fried!
Or, one of Gladys Knight's backup singers + "it"
tr4/5 the opposite of false and the 5 is even more opposite!
Take your first PI5/14 and keep to the right, across the grid. 1st 3 letters are the same as your first pi5/14.
indeed, but i'm determined. i haven't finished a puzzle yet!
Eva, well then today's your day! Any others I can help you with?
back........
I probably have the second pi, not the first. I have the bird one
can I get another clue for ru 4/5 pretty please
hey jr, how many words are there??

Grooovy! dirt bike girl - i'm gonna do it!
I only need pr 4/6, pu 4/6 and ru 4/5
Groovy, trying to think of a good clue for the ru4/5...
pr4/6 - when you're getting ready for something you pr**. It's actually an abbreviation but I guess it's used so much it's its own word now.
There are two pu4/6's...change the last vowel for whichever other one you need.
DBG I got the pr one ty ! the RU is baffling me lol
rattish,, are you her???
oops... here
DBG got it ......... just the dreaded RU 4/5 left

Mish - the other one is a rather odd spelling with the bu start... but think of the saying "a little b****** told me so"
a parakeet is a _ this is spelled with a u instead of the i
good one Kathy !!!
probably showing my age ... not sure if that saying is still around :)
Could you help me with the SC words.... I'm new at this, and I feel like the village idiot!
sure Bella and Im new too lol
what you do to the bathroom floor on your hands and knees .. you _ the floor
this is the closest I've ever gotten to finishing a puzzle... must be becuz it doesn't have 200+ words... but... would someone mind terribly helping me with the eu 6/24 (a hint?)
the other is what you might say instead of the acutal name ...... I have to pick up my _ at the pharmacy
Bella there is always www.a2zwordfinder.com as a last resort
Kathy I have a good one ...
or morewords.com
Thanks, thanks, thanks. I am off to the website you mentioned.... boy, as an English teacher, you would think this would be easier!!!
Kathy .... the first 3 letters of the word europe .. next add the 3rd vowel and lastly add the initals of an investigator ( what they are called for short )
Check GroovyGranny's clue at 6:43 for the eu 6. It was a really good one.
but most of these wrods are not well known... i read a lot and most of these are new to me
Hello All - how goes it?
Bella I like morewords.com ..... my mom was an english teacher and I thought i'd have no problem on here .. yeah right! it gets tough for me at times
Hey Sanky!!!!
thank you so much GG... I'm learning alot!
I've never heard of morewords.com... that's a really neat site
me too Kat !!!
jeez. too many words i have no idea what they are lol
actually today I went to Barnes & Noble and bought the Offical scarabble players dictionary LOL
Mish - you're right. Many strange ones. But after you play for a while, you'll be amazed at how you start to recognize some of the ones you once thought obscure!
Groovy -- I never heard of morewords.com either. I'll have to check that one out. Thnx
Cathy that one is great ... like if the word is an Au words .. you look for the 4 letter A words and it's a listing of them
it lists them by length and alphabetically
Just checked it out. Pretty cool. I need all the tools I can find sometimes, so I'll definitely bookmark this one.
I found it when I first started babble ... it's like my bible at times !
the scrabble dictionary is pretty cool too .. I was using it earlier it's 675 pages full of all scrabble words alphabetically
down to 3 words left and wouldn't you know they're all 4 letters... that's when I feel dumb
what are they ? I'll help you if I can
I've got one of those. My daughter knows how addicted I am to Babble, and gave me a huge Webster's dictionary and a Scrabble dictionary for my birthday a few months ago. It was great!
i like the a2z myself but is nice to have more options!
very cool Cathy !!! I love this scrabble dictionary too .. what a neat thing !
exactly Mish !!! the more help we can get the better
bu 4/8 - not the oral one pi 4/5 - not the thing in water ru 4/5 - not the country bumpkin
the ru 4/5.. the base for gumbo plus an R at the end
Pi ------ what a ship pulls up aganist
a pumpkin _ that word and add an R
thank you... YEAH !!! I'm done... this is the 1st time since I became addicted!!
and the bu ----- a little _ told me .......... spelled differently
Isn't that the one you said cathy? the clue ?
Congrats Kat!!! Hi all!

Congrats Kat!!!! Beware, now the addiction REALLY sets in, as you'll want to finish all the puzzles :)
Tor !!! hey you =) what's up?
ok... now I need a drink!! DH was so concerned I would never leave the computer tonight!
Hi Torgone!
Cathy I didn't know you were in Florida too !
Yep, we're nearly neighbors, aren't we? I'm in Tampa.

One word to go .. au6

Tor -- think redhead, and you've got it!
Tor ...... a redhead has au_ colored hair

granny & Cath - Ok - so I'm jealous of those residing in FL, as I prepare for a lonnnnng, coooooolddd, snowy winter. You lucky dogs!
Groovy -- we're really in the same groove tonight, aren't we? :)
Grvy... I used to live in the great world of FL... got tired of the hurricanes so moved to WY... now I deal with snow... if it isn't one thing it's another
hmmmmmm I can't lie I do love the warm !!!
Sanky - that's why I'm here!
I think so Cathy !!!
Oh, for the love of . .!!!! You know, I had actually monkey-typed auburp! What an idiot. Thanks!!!!
I'd move back if I could convince hubby
anytime Tor =)
Tor -- it's always those easy ones that escape me !
I know I couldn't live where it snows anymore .. I was out to the store before and I was cold ....... I passed the sign at the bank ..... It was 64 out !!!
Granny & Cath - I am about to "celebrate" my 42nd or so winter in MIchigan, darn, I am so dense!!! WHy, why, why!!! mostly becuase of summers such as we had this past one!!
Oh how I miss the warmth and humidity
MI sure does get cold , no doubt !
Sanky - but summer's great here, too! Nothing like floating around the swimming pool to beat the heat! Not to mention needing no coats, boots, hats, gloves, etc. It's great!
Kat I went back to NY in 99' and it was soo cold .. I slept in sweats, flannel pj's and 2 pairs of socks and my mom had to give me 3 blankets
CAthy I agree !!! yesterday was 84 out so I got to throw on shorts again and a tank top ....... I figure our rain is our snow
I know the feeling well.. BURR!!
Cath & Groovy...I have my house for sale right now, and am seriously sontemplating a move south, way south!
You got it, Granny. I love the shorts & t-shirt, too. And am sitting here with the windows open ... it's wonderful.
84 and rain.. sign me up...
Sanky we moved to Orlando in 90' from Albuquerque and it snows there ........Im orginally from NY no less but being here 15 yrs , I can't take the cold anymore
Cathy we have the AC on still but we have 4 computers going and it gets hot in the house without it on
LOL Kat ! my boys always hated mowing the lawn here
Kat & Sanky - move on down and join us. We'll be happy to share our great weather, won't we Groovy !
why not ! the more the merrier !!

my mom's still in Miami and I've got a sis in Tallahassee... maybe I'l just house hop through the winter... anybody want to trade ??
I don't have a pool but the neighbor does hehe and he's at work all day ..... wait maybe I do have a pool lol

I am no where near being done...have yet to finish one, yet I keep coming back daily after a month or so!
THIRDCUB is my daughter!!!! She has been playing off and on for a while but never gets on the chat log cuz she didn't feel comfortable. She said you were real nice to her!!!!
Aknitter ..... well it's dropped to 62 now so it's cold out lol
good! 62 is a heat wave
awww I didn't know that !! she was really sweet too .. I threw her a few clues to help out and she said TY
Sanky - well then how's about saying you finish this one tonite? We haven't had a babble virgin lose their cherry for a while!!!! This puzzle is a gentle one!
Granny - see you are so lucky to be where you are!! I lost a shed to an icestorm a couple of years ago. ~!!! Now that I think of it, it was the 2nd one I had lost!
anything below 65 and im in a sweater
Hi Mamabear -- Yea, Groovy and I are being mean tonight and making everyone jealous for our Florida weather as they're all starting winter. How're you?
Sanky oure ended up in the neighbors screened in pool patio LOL
Cathy - well then add me to the jealous list. It's supposed to be nice here this weekend. But it won't last. Actually, we are having unusually mild weather for this time of year. I love Florida.
Mama tell your daughter anytime she needs anything to just holler at me !
Mamabear-I wish...I have NEVER, ever, even come close to finishing, although, I have improved with time & practice. Thanks for even offering!!!
we all need a babble meeting in Florida !!!

I will tell her groovy - thanks!
mama - 20- 4.65 - 267
Oohhh, just checked and see you're in Chicago. Now that's some cold wind up there in the winter. If I have to travel up there (for work) during the winter, I freeze my "you know what" off !!! I try to avoid it between Nov & April :)

Cath - smart move!

ak - it's another name for a stone fruit
stone fruit? a fruit made of stone?
aknitter -- def I've heard is a fleshy fruit, but it's an odd word, and one you'd normally think to spell with an "oop"
akn- sounds like the word meaning to sag, but spelled differently any clues in babble land for the eu 6?
johnp - GroovyGranny had a great one for eu 6 at 6:43pm
ahh thanks for the dr help, got it eu A sea channel characterized by turbulent and unpredictable currents

Kat not to worry ... 2 heads are better than one !

I think we lost jules and she was making drinks.
Scooter you will be at the award banquet won't you ????
didn't you get the protective goggles Smeltzie was passing out?
*busy at the bar* Here you go, Scoots!
does something happen at midnight??
hehe My butt my butt ....
clap for the wolfman ........ oh wait that's the midnight special
My day wasn't that long, actually, groovy -- I only did a half shift at another Lenscrafter's -- it was the commute that killed me - but I need the hours and they needed the help
oh yes!!! midnite..... (guys, still a surprise, huh?)
at midnight something amazing happens
Woulfie, that's what I did tonight, just plugged away until I finished. *big gulp* Love these coffee drinks!
immmm baaaaccccckkkkk. had to make a liquor run. i still need 4 and can't even tell you what they are. WTG scooter!!!!!
well GW glad you're home .... Mama , GW was supposed to make those goggles today while he was at work !!
LOL, GG!
That's right groovy- GW???? goggles???? You DID remember, didn't you?
ok -- I'll be back -- it's midnight CST, right? I gotta feed my starving dogs now. They've been howling at me for hours!!!
JB- I surprised myself with how quickly I finished today -- all told I think I only needed about an hour for this grid
show off!
I think so ..... Mama wasn't he supposed to have the goggle back in an hour too??? man now we should get refunds LOL
jules - copy the list from babbler anon into excel and turn the ones you have red so you can see what you have left.
I had the goggles to work on, honest... but I left them at my store and forgot to bring them with me to the new store --- so, I'll bring them tomorrow...;D
My lips are sealed Mamabear. If there's one thing I can do, it's keep a secret. You don't have to tell me to shut up. I know when to shut up. When the time comes to stop talking, I stop talking. Mum's the word, and I know Mum. Nobody can keep quiet like I can.
Smeltz that beats how I do it lol I never thought of doing it that way ............ I listen I learn !!
I have to do it in little minutes between tasks, then at lunch. I enter most of the words when I get home, then check the log for hints. *checks the time, brushing away the insistent hungry cat who will get wet if he gets any closer to the cuzzi!*
Thanks so much again. See you later!!!
good job Smeltzie - we gotta get jules to the finish line.......
see ya later scootermom!
hehe JB !!
Catch you later, scootermom!
Hey, SMeltz, just what is in this sippy cup anyway?

Big toast to ScooterMom! See ya!
*whisper chant* jules...jules...jules.. .jules...

Hi everyone. How is everyone tonight? I just got home from having drinks w/ co-workers and now I am trying to type while slightly drunk. : )
Hey ohrom! We're having drinks in the jacuzzi!! BTW, Smeltz, you never told me what I have been drinking!
Iron Chef is on!!!
Baileys Cheesecake
*splash*
Hi Ohro!!!!

Well, then that's all right then ;D
no...it's just grey
Oh. I'm ok Ohro... glad you had a fun night out!
Hi folks :) I never talk, but had to join in because I finally completed a puzzle !! I usually just sit in awe of how brilliant all of you are.
GW - I got a double of what everyone else had.
Thank you smeltz. What is in the tippey cup?
and we have number 6 for the nite!!!!! congrats catka!!!! Join the party - Smeltzie - we need another sippy cup over here! And everybody scooch over in the cuzzi and let catka in!
The cup may be just grey, but there is NOTHING just about ME ;D (*finally remembers to remove wet clothes to prevent chafing*)
koshka - we talk a bigger game than we actually are...at least I do...wait, I'm THE smeltzdog...I am truly amazing...your right koshka...you should feel special!
Thanks mama, I could use a sippy cup.....
Welcome to the pack, catka!! Congrats on your 1st finish!!!
orho - you also have a double.
latest from Jules....i need fi 4/7 the first one ri 4/7 the first one, ti 4/5 the first one, tr 4/5 the first one. Does anyone see a pattern here???
we had to switch to sippy cups catka - one nite we had olives and lemon slices and ice cubes all clogging the cuzzi drain. what a mess.
always room for one more! I think we hit our high tonight with 8!!! *hands mama red sippy cup*
1st fi4/7 - playing with fi**
fi 4/7 - it's hot and has flames and in your house is called a fi**place!
jules -tr4 roadtr**
Yay catka! Soon, you'll realize that "brilliance" is mainly working together and sharing clues.
Jules, don't let us tr** you up that you fall face first into the cuzzi!
1st ri4/7 - change the last consonant on the ri4/7 you have
And a few tasty snacks, Tor!
my penguin sippy is empty!
Smeltzie - are we up to 8 *pops* tonite????
thanks to everyone, I try to do as much as I can without any clues and then when I get desperate I start to search the messages...
8 in the cuzzi.
ti4/5 - indians live in a ti**
Catka - that's what I do too! And resort to a2z..
everyone now: jules, Jules, JUles, JULES!
btw - koshka is russian for cat
Morewords.com does it for me!
catka - never hesitate to call on us for help -- It's how most of us finish too :)
oh....... i think the count is 6 first timers so far.
jules...jules...jules...JULES! !!
And drinkie-poos, JB!!!!
Smeltzie - and I thought you were just slurring your consonants!
*ohro holds up sippy cup and whistles to get smelt'z attention*
if I can't figure it out I let the Mrs get them!
ules...jules...jules...JULES! !!
And now, *dramatic sweep of back of hand to forehead* I must bid you all good night! *drains dregs of yummy coffee drink from green sippy*
on a2z do you use the scrabble letters look up or the partial letters look up?
JB - jules is so close...you should stay til she finishes her first.
You are SO right, Torgone!
g'nite JB!!!! sleep well... sweet dreeemmmmzzz and *bear hugs*
partial letters look up
Oh man! I finally get here, and people keep leaving :( A guy could get a complex...
ri 4/7 the first one. i'm so close- i can smell victory
what's next jules?
I will not leave you.... nor forsake you.....
G'nite JB... sleep well
ri - guitar ri**
cool smeltzdog.......I never knew that.......will have to tell my mother...she's of russian descent
Well, I'm DRY now! Thanks, MamaBear! Hugs, kisses, big fluffy towels to dry off with, and sweet dreams to you all. See you on the ottoman, Smeltzie! (um, did he say Mrs.?)
Unless of course Smeltzie runs out of booze. Then I'm outta here!
ri4/7 - move the last consonant back one place in the alphabet
from th eother ri4/7 that is :)
Hey: I have fi 4 7 (hot stuff) fi 4 8 (name of John Grisham movie) fi 4 7 (mispelled plant) I am missing a fi4/7. What is it? Thanks in advance.
ok maybe its the second one ri 4/7
ok mama, I'll try the partial letters look up next time
It's EXACTLY one letter ahead of the next word on the list, alphabetically speaking.
Go, Jules! Go, Jules! *cheers from side of jacuzzi!*
second ri - think snow dri**
Hi everyone. Checking in late for this one. Glad that it's not too big.

Smeltzie, I'm going to dance on the ottoman so I won't bother the neighbors! to celebrate for you
well done jules!
zubie - no hoping about it, you've got us!
Hey: here is another one-- pi 5/ 14 I have the one that is a greek letter + the thing in the middle of a peach. THanks,yall.
i couldn't have done it without you all. many, many thx. now time for cuzzi time. Smeltz, is it still going strong? i'll move the bar out to the ottoman
Hi Mama, Woulfie...all! I started this at the launch & never made it back until now...a day of lazing about I'm afraid...
Hi Mamabear. How are you?
YAY, Jules!!!!!
ohro - the "pied pi***" go, go, go!
ohrom - time to pay the pi*** (musical instument player)
time to enjoy my sippy! (refresh)
I'm good zubie!! Finished the grid.. having something rummish in my sippy cup - enjoying the cuzzi - it's Friday!!! ahhhhhhhhh
*sneaking away from the edge* Lovely party, really! Great seeing all you! We MUST do this again!
Help! I'm down to 3 left; I can't get the last 2 tr's I have the journey and the meat ones.... and I need the second ri 4/7.... anyone?
Thanks Anno and GW. PS--GW-- I like the new fur coat. YOu look marvelous in it.
ohro--jojo, are you there yet?
*delicious!*
Someone else in fur????? let me see.... *mamabear refreshes*.... oh my so many new looks... I like that one GW!!!
Thanks, but my head was squished -- I like this one better
chic - not false, but tr** and even more so tr***
I'm taking the time to google some new looks
Nope. What about these: ri 4/ 7 (I have the guitar one) ri 5/ 12
Hello all. Usually I lurk. I feel waaaayyy to sllooooow to participate in all the chats. But...I finished my first puzzle today! Had to resort to lots of clues, monkey typing and A2Z...but I did it! :)
+thinking to self+ what a wonderful crew...so helpful...so fun...and they stay up SO late! Wish I didn't have to be a grownup and go to bed...sigh
I must say goodnight, now. "After all tomorrow is another day." I love this game!!! and yous guys!
Smeltz: just curious but are you a kosher hotdog?
ri5/12 - to possess more of the quality of the 4/5
C'mon, Jules! *grabs J's um, paw, and moves to exit, stage left
Good Night, Jules!!! See you tomorrow!
congrats on finishing your first bear...usually someone pours the champagne when you finish *hands glass* I must abstain until I finish!
mojo - maybe jules - thanks for hanging out in the cuzzi! don't forget to bring your sippy back with you
bearofthep- quickness is not a requirement in chatland - and you make # 8 for the nite!!! Congrats!!!
night jules & jb...
ty, mamabear. Yay, Ifinally finished my first grid. You all rock!
who lost their mojo?
JB - WE'll see you tomorrow as well, though speaking for myself, I have too much MAgical Child in me to ever truly consider myself a grownup ;)
#9 !!!!!!
could definately use a drink - thanks!
Last clue for ohro - is this peach ri**? I think the other one is ri***. GOOD NIGHT, Everybody, fur, non-fur, paws, and All!
I like that one too GW (icon) it's so YOU!!!!! And, I also refuse to grow up. It's much too complicated and I'd have to give up my sippy cup.
bearofthep -- welcome to the fold -- speed os not necessary to chat -- the ability to wrap your mind around multiple threads of cinversation while looking for words is :D
eastern - due to the tendency of people cannonballing in to the cuzzi...we've moved to sippy cups.
All the talk of sippy cups reminds me that I have to go to bed now. Little ones (and their sippy cups) will need me in the AM.
And another one joins the pack! Congrats, chic ;D
Smeltzie - a wise move...I'm assuming this is the Mr??
Though - for once in my life - I could give a few clues if anyone needs them.
bearofthep - well then we bid you adieu!!!! Have a good nite's rest and never hesitate to jump on in!!!! Speaking of.... CANNONBALL!!!!!
this is the captain
Night all! Thanks for the sippy cup and jacuzzi, I'll be back tomorrow :)
bearofthep - how many little ones do you have? I have one that is 2 and another one due in FEb
I am down to 3: ri 4/ 7 (I have the two which deal with the readyness of fruit to be eaten and the guitar one) wi 4/ 9 wi 5/ 20 Thanks in advance. Once I am done with the puzzle, I am buying a round of drinks for everyone in/around the hottub.
mama - a little more warning next time please.
G'nite catka!!
g'nite catka - nice to meet you!!!! see you tomorrow!
wi 4/9 - what I have to do to my little one's hind ends all day long (noses too for that matter)
wi 5/20 - guess that makes me a wi***
orho - when mama jumped into the cuzzi I wi** (present tense) my eyes. the next wi is one who does that.
wi 5 - windshield wi*** and the wi 4 - take off the last letter
Thanks Bear! I got both wi words from your clues.
have a good one koshka!
ri4/7 - one letter later than the guitar word
THanks Mama, Smeltz. I am one word away from buying a round for all.
YW, Ohromojo!
I have to go to...once ohro finishes so I can celebrate.
ohro - think snow dri**
Are you gonna make me clean up the cuzzi again, Smeltzie?
Woohoo!! Woohoo!! *Ohro runs around chatroom throwing off clothes and shouting obscenities. And does a cannon ball carefully so that smeltz' bun doesn't get wet.*
*** Night all ***
night bear...
*ohro brings around a platter of shot glasses*
nite bearo!!! And my dear Ohro... you are # 10 for the nite!!!!
congrats ohro... am I the only one not finished???
Yay ohro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! I like the way you celebrate!
*smeltz runs away at ohro's nudity.* I'll be back again tomorrow!
i find this very difficult ... first time here ... I only have 41 words ... sadly
Good night, bear -- have a good sleep and a great day tomorrow!
Night Bear. Cool Mama. Now I can concentrate on jacuzzi activities.
what do you need Eastern?
You're almost there, 1273rd..
Not much concentrating going on in THIS cuzzi!!!!! Lots of bubbles & sippy cups!
Sorry smeltz. I didn't say all clothes, just some. I didnt' think you would be offended since you are only wearing a hotdog bun.
I'm done tonight...See y'all later!
Bye smeltz.
thanks torgone ... is there any way to tell how many words on the board?
Blue - not for much longer ;D 1273rd -- nothing sad about it -- it's a new game -- just have fun -- we don't care how many words you get - just that you are having fun!
g'nite Smeltzie... *little bear hug*
1273rd: what do you need?
bye Mr. Smeltzie! Mama - just plugging away - about 13 left to go!
see ya, Smeltz tomorrow is another day...
Click on Babblers Anon. link on the right. The stats are posted daily.
was wondering if there's a place to look to see how many words on this board ? am I anywhere near close?
did you hear that folks. ah say did you hear that??? 1273rd has 41 words, first time out of the gate, and doesn't even have a word list!!! I say they deserve a round of applause!!! *mamabear slaps paws together wildly making pretty much no noise*
thanks for that info torgone
there are only 54 words today
You need 13 more, 1273rd.
*ohro starts the standing ovation from the jacuzzi participants*
that 13 seems like a million right now ... thanks for the kind words mamabear
1273rd don't feel bad. I've been here off and on for several weeks and only have 25. I've decided I'm one of the vocabulary challenged and just try for the fun of it and to read the silly things the intelligent ones imagine.
that jacuzzi sounds a lot better than this board :-)
intelligent ones???/ Where?
lol, Stace
thank you stace ...
(refresh)
1273rd - Chances are those 13 words are really obvious if you're only pointed in the right direction. That's why some of us hang around - to give clues.
1237rd & Stace - have you been introduced to monkey typing... and a2z??????
Oh my gosh...I didn't know you had to be intelligent to be here... perhaps I should leave! : )
Hop on in, 1273rd. The jacuzzi contains a bohemian (me), a bear, a chicken, and a wolf. Don't let that intimidate you though.
SuperSmeltz heard there were people in despair. *Put on cape and came to help*
a hotdog is in cuzzi too!
...make that a bear, a chicken, a wolf and a hotdog...
it seems like there are too many vowels together and too many consonants together .... I can't seem to make words out of prwdfn .... thanks mamabear ... now you have an rd in your jacuzzi too
smeltzdog hope you're in a ziploc. I hate soggy bread.
Don't call-I say don't call me a chicken!
...I'll provide a midnight blue sky for the jacuzzi!
for those in the jacuzzi ... let me share my home made cherry wine with you all ... here's a snifter for each of you
*ohro hands 1273rd a little pink drink with an umbrella in it* Sorry Torgone. make that a bohemian, a wolf, a rooster, a bear, and a hotdog, and a 1273rd.
I am starting to feel a bit fricaseed in this jacuzzi, though.
....and a beautiful starry sky.
stace - that's not very nice...I'm in a hoagie bun. last week we filled the cuzzi with blue jello and it wasn't good so I upgraded to a much more fi** bun
how did you all get a picture into your chat box?
I've never had cherry wine before...(*sips*)...mmm tasty!
it cost 10 bucks
thanks for the drink orho
Refresh!!!! (do I look fat in this picture) I thought Smeltzie could use some help - the crowd is getting rather large tonite.
cherry wine = yummy
12738537549 - if you go pro (10 bucks) you can see stuff you can't see yet and you get an icon.
Did I hear cherry wine??? Never had... will try anything once.... mmmm.... and cherry??? Quite fitting for the evening since 10 have *popped* so far!!
glad you like it graywoulf ... I took the pits out of the cherries ... and they have more alcohol in them than the liquid ... and I put lots of cherries in your snifter
1273...if you "go pro" you can add the pix...it will also provide you with the 'stats' - you can see how many words & the number of words for each letter...just under $10 for a lifetime membership!
nice...very nice
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... only a ten spot .... hmmmmmmmm
you like?
mmmmm - cherry wine!
pay...pay...pay...pay...pay... PAY!!!
you took the pits out?! but how can I bounce them off Smeltzies bun if you took them out?
I like the new icon, mama. YOu are a symbol of divine femminine power.
Are there any stems? I like to tie them in a knot with my tongue.
only $10 and I get the hint list too?
it seems there are some of the nicest people on the web here tonite ... what a lovely bunch of jacuzzi-ers ... it is so nice to be with u all
throws mamabear at GW
Clue for the eu please? Got 43 so far.
Stace - you get the 2 letter list. the hints come from us weirdos.
eu + word that means to tear + a vowel
most of us are on the evening shift... I've been on during the day but it isn't the same. This is a great crowd.
1273rd -- you WANT to pay... you want to see what you can't right now....you want to show your support for the game taht just introduced you to a bunch of really cool new friends...
you have a very talented tongue mamabear .... :-)
Wonderful clue, ohromujici. Thanks! :D
why thank you 123 and a third!!!!!
zubie - if you can spell orhomojomuci, you can do anything!!!!!
odd name isn't it? kind of like me ... a bit odd
No problem Zub. Where in the world are you at 1273rd? Just curious.
I like reading your blog here. It helps remind me of the few words I know. I am still stumped with smeltzdog's hint though.
Smeltzie - why dost thou fling me at wolf man jack?
I gave a hint?
Because I want to bounce cherry pits off his bun, MAMA
lol Mama. I have learned over the years that czech words are not for the weak.
I'm in 'mt' ... and empty is what my head is right now ... all kidding aside ... Montana ...
GW would have thrown things at me and you were the first thing I could reach...it was preemptive.
Lol, Mamabear! :D You just spelt it, yourself! :D
czech ... as the czech is in the male ....
lol. Czech-mate. you got it.
oh gotcha.... well a little warning next time. my wrist bracelets almost knocked me out
ohro - translate please ..
I just want to see how water resistant the new bun is Smeltzie :D If it really is worth th e10 bucks you paid for it, the pits will bounce and not sink in... yeah, that's it, I just want do some quality control testing :)
in czech ... ahoy ... is hello .... and it is also goodbye ... which means czechs don't know if they are coming or going
If you mean my name torgone, it means "something that sparkles so brightly that you can't look away from it" (roughly).
I have a bun of steel!
something that pretty shouldn't have that many vowels, ohro!
ohro...very pretty!
So ohrom, does that mean you should get a job as a hypnotist's assistant? ;D
1273rd: that is because Czechs are usually drunk. I can confirm that stereotype is true. : )
Smeltzie - LOL!
Yeah, well, it was either that or vynikajici. : )
don't bother googling ohro's name...all of the sites that come up are foreign
lol GW.
Clues for the second pi 4/5 and the other pi 5, please? Not the rats one.
1273rd - The pro membership does not get you the second letter list; that is available to all. For $10 you get to post a bio and icon; you get stats: Total no. of words, no. of words of each length, and a grid showing how many words start with each letter on the grid.
Buns of steel??? Well don't get em too close to these mighty wrist bracelets, or we might be stuck together for all eternity. They have a magnetic tendency.
thanks ... that is very helpful info torgone ... I appreciate it
2nd pi4/5 - rhymes with burn
google this for the pi 4/5 A quill or reed on which thread or yarn is wound; a bobbin; also, the wound yarn on a weaver's shuttle; also, the reel of a fishing rod. [Scot.]
Smeltz: go to http://www.slovnik.cz/. You can do a czech to english translation to get the specifics. You never know when you might need to translate "ohromujici". Although, knowing babble, it might appear in a puzzle some day.
1273 - if you want the second letter list go to the babblers anon link on the right and click general. It'll give you what you want.
thanks smeltzdog
2nd pi5 - pi + a hole in the ground

Good evening everyone. I am so close to finishing my first puzzle. I was hoping you all might be so kind as to give me some clues for the ones that I am missing: both bu 6/30 a pu 4/6 (I have the one that means free from dirt) tr 5/12 (I have the one that is tr4/5 + r)
your name!
translate what your name means? or is that too personal?
Hey 1273rd: here are some sites that I use. These come in handy once in a while. http://www.onelook.com (can do reverse dictionary lookups --put in definition and it spits out words) http://www.google.com/ (sometimes people give clues that are exact definitions---just put the clue in quotes in a google search) http://www.a2zwordfin der.com/index.html (too many uses to list) http://p105.ezboard.com /bbabblersanonymous (babbler's anon posts a word list that I think almost everyone uses)
jc - one bu is the Federal _____ of Investigations
F - bu6 - I
1st bu6 - bye bye bu**** (variant spelling) 2ns bu6 - furniture for storing clothing
December 1973 and my inititals ... and 12/73 is not my birthdate ...
pu 4/6 - same first 3 letters as your other one, change last vowel to i
tr5 - add an e to your tr4 meaning journey
tr 5/12 - The rubbery lining of the stomach of cattle or other ruminants, used as food
for real this time...I'm leaving see y'all tomorrow
bye smeltz
Bye smeltz. Have a nice night.
Later, dog!
Bye Smeltzie - say hi to the Mrs...
may angels share your pillows smeltzdog
g'nite Smeltzie!!!!!!! sleep well....
Bye Smeltz, have a great day tomorrow! Sleep Well
1973.... a very good year
Last one now. A clue for the ru 4/5?
1973 -- I was 5
ru4/5 - one who regrets
ru 4/5 - a stick used to measure that has 12 inches, without the L

ru 4/5: someone who regrets. (take a three letter word that means "to regret" and then add an R)
Ha! Thanks, Mamabear! I thought I'd tried that before!
it was a good year for Seasame street, but then again, what isn't??
Goodnight 1273rd. Have sweet dreams somewhere off in big sky country.
I did it! I did it! Thank you all so much for your clues!
And with that, I'm done! :D Thanks for the help, everyone. :)
1973 - I was an angst-ridden, low self-esteem, dork, nerd, geek, teenager. Yeah . . ..

The time in-between babble grids lies heavy on my hands! ;D

It is awe inspiring, the amount of crappy pictures out there?
Woo Hoo! I finished!!
Great work, paperdoll!

good job paperdoll!!!!! REFRESH - this is how I feel right about now.... need to call it a nite I fear.....
Only 33 mins til the next grid, MAMA -- can you make it to see what yo have to rest up for?
31 and a headache. It'sbeen too long of a day. nite all. At least I was over half way!
ty all - nice pic mamabear! As that is a bit how I'm feeling at the moment I think I'll get off to bed!
night mamabear...
g'nite Stace & paperdoll!!!! 33 minutes, huh GW?

You did great, Stace! remember- ther is always another grid tomorrow to do better on...
I have a feeling tomorrow's is gonna be a hum dinger
G'nite paperdoll and Stace - looking forward to babbling together again real soon :)
Doees anyone know what the largest grid to date has been?
OMG. I got wrapped up in projects. do you think i can finish the puzzle in 26 minutes?
No, I don't GW.. largest for me was something like 255 - but you've been doing it longer than I.... OMG!! I ALMOST FORGOT.... CHAMPAGNE TO ALL (WHO ARE LEFT) TODAY IS MY 1 MONTH BABBLE ANNIVERSARY!!! *toast and cheers - as mamaber clinks glasses with anyone who is still coherent*
what do you need nena?
all of them! i havent started yet!
GULP!!!!!
Congrats MAMA! (*clinks glass*) Actually, I've only been Babbling for about two weeks ;)
Sure you can nena -- only 54 and most are easy!
GW - I heard of one over 400...
I think not!!! You were on when I first joined and that has been a month..... now I'm questioning that "5 yrs old in 1973" statement..... seems you have an issue with time!!! LOL LOL
Happy 1 month Mama!
>400!?! That is a frightening prospect
400??? that equates to bamboo shoots under the fingernails!
thank you Eastern!!!! It's been a pleasure - met the nicest people who make me laugh!!
GW you're only as old as me in Babble time? Amazing! I thought you'd joined before me!
it was in the first week or so of Babbling for me - I didn't attempt it myself...I was pretty busy at work that day & didn't have a chance to tackle it!
The largest one since I joined was 483, GW. I did 220 and then forced myself to stop. I'd have been at babble all day, had I stayed to reach the target.
I may be off by a week, but I have not been Babbling for a month yet. I know this because I actually saved my first grid (I am such a geek!)
wow - we've all been babbling around the same time - I think I've been 'doing it' for about 2 months...
Well then maybe I am off too because I could have sworn I met you right away, GW.
geek? I have my first grid laminated and magnetized to the refrigerator.
MAMA - don't go doubting yourself cos I'm throwing you off Drink up and enjoy!!!
So how did everyone find out about this game? I found out about it because the author Robin Hobb was quoted by the Science Fiction Book Club as having found some very interesting words while playing that she then found appropriate for use in her novels
I found out from an MSN link. I came here and got hooked. :D
msn home page....
I think there was a surge of newbies when that link was posted on msn....
My husband found the site for me...I think it was before the msn site was posted, but only by a week or 2... he's not a big word game person but looks out for stuff I may like on the net!
You have a very considerate hubby, Blue
I think I am in trouble (again?)..... about 3 hours ago somebody (can't remember who) finished their first puzzle and i teased that something special would happen for them at midnite. And I think they are coming back to see what it is..... all it is is a new puzzle!!!!! Think they will see the humor if they DO come back?????
I think it was on the 19th of October.
MAMA - if that is the worst trouble you get yourself into, then I want your life (lol) ; honestly, though, I think they will get it just fine :D
zubie - that's probably about when i started too then. Oh well, champagne's gone ......
Woulfie - I do...he's a sweetie!
zubie - that's my birthday
mama - I think they would get the humor...we'll 'hide' you if we need to! : )
Oh GW, I could tell you stories!!!! I tend to be a mischievous bear at times!!!!
thanks Eastern!!!!
It is, GW? :D Mine's the 22nd! :D
Hi all... I've been playing for the last few weeks, haven't said much yet-- so Hello and thanks for all your helpful clues to date
(under the cloak of the night sky & all!)
Cheesenips!!! I like that name!!! And welcome!
Hello and welcome, Cheesenips!
Hiya cheesenips... Some of my favorite crackers!
Thanks Mamabear! Cheesenips is what I was eating at my desk when I first Babbled!
So MAMA, you have my email-- you can always share if you really want to ;D
Speaking of birthdays, I spent this very day in labor years back that lasted for 25 hours. My son's birthday is tomorrow.
I have a question. Is there any PM facility on babble? I mean, if we want to privately message a player, is that possible? Is that possible on babblersanonymous? I'm zubie there, by the way.
*gulp!* did you say 25 hours? Yikes!
wish him a happy birthday for us, MAMA!
TY EasternBlue, GreyWoulf for your nice welcome too
I'm back to see what I get!
25 hours? Ouch. Happy birthday to him!
zubie - I think babanon has a pm function fo rregisterd users (like me!)
AAAhhhhh, it was scootermom!!!!
Hi scootermom - we were just talking about you :D
Have you guys been here for the last 2 hours?
Yep!
hope it wasn't all bad!
thank you for the birthday wishes, GW, I will tell him. and yes, zubie, a major ouch!!!!!
hi scootermom...
Yes we have, scootermom -- it's all part of the addiction that is Babble!
so how old is he, MAMA?
*mamabear is shifting from side to side... what will she do... what will she do.....*
GW, I'm there in babblersanon as zubie. Finally figured out the registration!
Yeah - I read down on the chat log and saw that alot of people started after that link was on MSN. That's how I found out about it too. I really have to try hard not to start while I'm at work, or I'm utterly lost.
3 minutes mama... oo \/
scootermom - we never ahve anything bad to say about our fellow babblers! (now, the people who don't understand our obsession... that's another story entirely ;) )
Well hi, everyone!
OK everybody REFRESH - quickly - this is for scootermom!!!!!!
