Looks like 311 words.

Yikes!

Good Grief!! And I missed that last word by about 3 seconds!!!! Aaiigh!

12:03 am

hello again...8)

12:03 am

New puzzle!

12:03 am

As I was saying, Tuva's posts to Miyavi really p*ssed me off. She's 13 years' old, for Gawd's sake. If she feels she has problems they need listening to, even if it's only a zit in the wrong place before a hot date! What was that man thinking of when he told she only imagines she has a problem? Sorry! I'm still so mad about that that I've carried it over to next grid.

12:04 am

HarpJane - BJ does that 'cos he's the original cool Capt'n Jack Sparrow type guy.:-)

12:06 am

Now, now, BJ. Stop showing off! LOL.

12:06 am

Morning gang...

12:07 am

brandy is verrryyyy cool!

12:07 am

They are already playing up the next episode of Cap'n Jack. Was seriously irked when I found out the show date is July 7th..........

12:08 am

Why was that, BJ?

12:08 am

Jac, I don't know how other people see Tuva, but my take is his sense of humour doesn't dovetail with the rest of us. He has this 'thing' with a 'religion' (a satire of some sort) which he makes constant reference to. Sometimes, people engage with him - sometimes out of frustration, other times it's just banter. But overall, people are being very generous and trying very hard not to be offended when he pushes his message about the 'one true god' of his 'religion'. I haven't seen his post to Miya yet, but I am sure it was probably flippant and he (I hope) didn't mean it.

12:09 am

Because it's 7 long cold months away.........

12:09 am

12:11 am

Jac - I have met so many people like that - People who imagine themselves superior because they have found a way to put down a large group of people as inferior; In this case, people who beleive in God, because it's not "logical". It's just as fundamentalist as fundamentalist religions - "My way is right and your way is wrong".

12:12 am

LIttle 23' motor launch......

12:12 am

Babbler - I did not see any flippancy in Tuva's messages to Miy. As far as I could tell, he was telling her she only had a problem becasue she thought she did and that he had no problems 'cos he 'has a life'. She's 13 for God's sake, if there were any nuances in his messages, I would hope that she's too young and unaffected to understand them yet.

12:12 am

re 9/60

12:12 am

Good evening, everyone -- another biggie with lots of s's, I see.

12:12 am

Hi cybernan

12:13 am

I'll go and read the log. I think I wasn't here when it happened or I'd have had a few words to say myself!

12:14 am

bean! Ed is a really great guy I must say!

12:15 am

Babbler - I only wish I had said my words instead of walking away. I feel so guilty about that.

12:15 am

hehehe Tor

12:17 am

Why one earth, considering what my daughter went through, and the numerous other teens I met on her ward, did I not stay and stand up for them earlier? I am SO angry with myself for that. Miy - I am SO SORRY. I should have spoken up for you.

12:17 am

Jac - guilt is a dangerous thing -- we all make choices that we later regret -- you are doing what you can to remedy the situation now by venting to us, your peers, but remember that the event is now in the past

12:18 am

I really miss Woulf and MAMA.

12:19 am

Wolfie - I have no doubt you are rightabout that. But am I not allowed to speak up for Miy now?

12:19 am

Jac - that post is incomplete, I hadn't thought it through completely yet so if it seems a bit harsh, I apologise (I didn't hit post - so why did it send?)

12:20 am

Wolfie - sometimes it sends before you meant it to. That's Babble for you.:-/

12:21 am

Jac - Absolutely. All you can do at this point is try to contact Miy at the next opportunity and express your thoughts. I don't think the grand balance of things will be upset by your not jumping in at the moment.

12:21 am

sprite - I miss you too :) Jac - you are completely within your rights to talk about Miy and your feelings -- I am just doing my fumble fingered best to alleviate your feelings...:)

12:22 am

I know that, Wolfie.x

12:22 am

BTW - I really like the new icon I found :D

12:23 am

Torgone. xx's to you, also for your comments on my dilemma.

12:24 am

And it is time for me to go do my night time stuff for real -- I was passing by the computer when I saw the thread and had to put in my two cents worth ((((Jacula)))

12:25 am

Hey! I can't help being a child of Venus, a Taurean, an earth goddess and a sex goddess. :-) 22nd April, if anyone wants to sent me a card. LOL.

12:25 am

P7/44. Just in case anyone is working the grid.

12:26 am

Wolfie - your 2 cents' worth was much appreciated. Sleep well!x

12:27 am

Jac - M_fan is a teen, and as such is used to ignoring words from adults not deemed worthy of respect. I'm guessing she perceived those words as noise, and carried on.

12:28 am

Torgone - I do hope she did!

12:28 am

o8/55 p7/32

12:28 am

Grid? What grid?

12:29 am

Oh yea, grid. New day's grid. Better take a look at it, I guess...

Oh shit, Torgone! It's over 300 words.:-(

12:31 am

That gives me 260 to find, Jac!

12:32 am

Yeah, while you've all been nattering I've hunted down 104 words. :-P Now it's time for beddie-bye. Nite all...

12:33 am

Ya boo sucks! Don't care!

S8/45 x2 S7/40 and S7/36 related S7/28 x 3 another S7/40

12:41 am

This comes up with lots of different 3-groups I'm involved in. The bottom line--we don't really know each other. We should make an effort to be civil, and we should let the stuff that offens us roll off our backs. It's a game on the Internet, for crying out loud, not a support group. Every now and then I choose to make a comment about my religion in a post. That is MY choice. And I realize that others may choose to say something unpleasant about my religion. We should be civil. Personally, I think the FSM website is hillarious. It's a spoof on Intelligent Design. But that's just my opinion. I don't believe in the thing. But I still think it's funny. But that's just me.

12:42 am

And another S8/45 (combo with S7/32) related words, but whether they are related in meaning, is debateable.

12:43 am

Hi everyone! Are we having fun?

12:43 am

Hi stillcrazy! Fun with the game, less fun with the log.

12:44 am

Sorry about the typos but I think you get my drift. Also, remember that on the Internet there is no such thing as a private conversation. Anything you say about a person is bound to be read by that person. Even if they are not presently playing the game.

12:44 am

lol sounds serious.

12:44 am

Yet another S7/28, musical of poetical one.

12:45 am

HarpJane - I have no idea what you're talking about re fsm website, can only speak from my knowledge of other so =-calld safe websitesl When I went off into splinter groups not deemed safe, then, fair enough, the hunters would hunt and thwir prey would either be killed or leave. Mind you, I do still think that's nasty.

12:46 am

what's that i hear? oh! it's the whaaaaambulance.

12:46 am

hey all, this looks like a fun one. 311, that's an intimidating number. this will be good. good luck ya'll.

12:47 am

"It's a game on the internet" Absolutely! Let' s just chat.

12:47 am

nava, it is! A lot of fun words to find, some really surprising :)

12:48 am

r/8 45 & r/9 60

12:49 am

Not sure if the E-combo is mentioned yet and not in the mood to scroll back the whole log. E8/50 - 9/72 - 9/66

12:49 am

What IS this with today's world to actively seek and take the piss out of and then destroy the so-called weak? 'The meek shall inherit the earth?' Yea. Right! But maybe... one day.... Don't ive up hope, folks.

12:49 am

Jac- The FSM website is Tuva's noodly appendage thing. It's satire. It's supposed to offend. But my point is if someone I only know because of a game on the Internet offends me, it is because I allowed it. Sticks and stones, etc.

12:50 am

HEY what are you doing? Messing with my God and all?

12:50 am

I don't know whats going on but am so glad I live in my own little world.......

12:50 am

Oh boy we are having fun now!

12:50 am

yeah Debs, me too. And it's OK because they know me there....

12:52 am

lol@Darleen.... You have a DIY hug jacket too?

12:52 am

stalled at 161

12:52 am

DONT BE MESSING WITH MY GOD! (Especially when I am drunk)

12:52 am

Yup, Debs. Gotta have one, right?

12:53 am

Mandatory......lol

12:53 am

morning all :) interesting conversation...

12:53 am

hi sherb

12:54 am

I'm sure Don't go messing with my God was a sung in a song in Sister Act..........Great film....lol

12:54 am

sung in a song!!!!!!!!!..... gawd it's early....

12:54 am

that was a message DIRECTLY to Harp..... Do not go making fun of my God or there will be trouble!

12:55 am

I've not looked properly at Tuva's noodly appendage site yet. Nor should I! I'm sorry, sort of, but, to me, he is someone who has no respect for anyone who feels they have a problem - Miy included. And she's so young - and his lack of understanding that pissed me off big time.

12:55 am

geez. blah blah blah...

12:56 am

Hi sherb :) Overrated conversation, if you ask me. Well, at least that made me find a nice couple of biggies in the O-department: 7/40, 8/60, 8/55, 7/40, 8/55, 8/60, 9/78.

12:56 am

jacula, what are you talking about? People have problems that THEY create themselves, what matter is that to me?

12:56 am

<<<looks around....Do I sense a slite tension in the air???

12:56 am

sprite, I wish you'd stop showing off :-P You're making me feel bad!!

12:57 am

no tension here... but it is amazing that people are still buzzing about this 8 hours later...

12:57 am

Come and join me with the Os, Darleen, you will feel much better :D

12:57 am

Ah, Tuva. I see you are here in person right now and so we can address your conversation with a 13-yr-old in UK. So, what have you to say about the way you respsonded to her saying she had a problem?

12:57 am

I dunno wot any of you are talking about anyway....lol

12:58 am

girls girls! yer both pretty! now shut up!

12:58 am

O how I'd love to Sprite. But the O's seem to be eluding me at the moment.

12:58 am

play the game! give me clues!

12:58 am

Jacula, what is your issue? She created a problem and lived into it. How is this an issue with you? Why is this your battle now?

12:58 am

morning still :) morning sprite :) - I like your definition of a 'couple' of big O's!

12:58 am

I'm pretty too........ 3ft 2" 20stone... regular work standing on church roof!

12:58 am

oh neat. there's a hide log button.

12:59 am

Gheghe, sherb. Actually it is a bunch of couples.

1:00 am

humph. I have one lousy O4. I really AM going to bed now.

1:00 am

Darleen... good change that your O4 is the start of many others. Literally.

1:01 am

I normally use that kaka... but felt bit lonely this morning thought I'd unlock it to join in happy conversation...PMSL

1:01 am

Tuva - I'm not ssure what planet you live on. All Miy did was to hint that she had a problem. In your world, so it would seem, any porblem she might have is only in her own mind and of her own making. That is utter and total crap! I don't care if she only has a spot on her chin or on the end of her nose. She's a kid, she has a problem and she wants to talk about it. There is nothing wrong with that.

1:01 am

careful Debs - you could offend any 3ft 2" 20 stone gargoyles who happen to be playing Babble... ;) don't leave kakamolaka - I like your humour :)

1:01 am

You should have picked a nicer day for doing that, Debs ;)

such a shame that oreo isn't a real word ...

1:02 am

my dial up won't let me babble with the log on. i'm outta here night all

1:02 am

jacula, So you are asserting that her problem existed other than in her own mind? Curious...

1:02 am

I think it is, Pumpkin. But it needs a capital, maybe. Or babble just doesn't like them.

1:03 am

If I wake up in the morning with a roof over my head food in fridge my family & friends all alive and well it has to be a wonderful day.........

1:03 am

how can anyone not like Oreos? morning all!

1:03 am

Sorry, re the grid, folks, which I haven't looked at yet. I reallly do need to take this issue up now with Tuva be it in private or in public. I will NOT let him do this to Miyavi.

1:04 am

Oh oreos....who has the oreos?

1:04 am

P4/5: nice word for attention-craving people. A so much nicer way than being insulting. It is a word in the aarrgghh category.

1:04 am

Jacula, what the fuck is your problem? are you banging Miyav? Why is this your issue now?

1:05 am

Atalante! Nice to see you :)

1:05 am

stick to your guns Jac! There are ways of treating people who are really just kids (however mature they can seem), and ways not to ...

1:05 am

Jacula, Why is this YOUR issue to manage? What do you get out of this? Some kind of hard on for saving lost souls? Please... spare us all.

1:06 am

A troll is a troll . .

1:06 am

Jacula, you are an old lady from the UK.. why not leave it at that and be done with it? Why do you need to fight battles you can't win for other people?

1:06 am

Unless it's a trollette!

1:07 am

Tuva - crudeness does not become your argument. 'Am I 'banging' Miyavi?'' What on earth do you mean? Why so aggressive? All I take issue with is your insistence that she only has a problem because she 'thinks' she does. What is up with you?

1:07 am

No invisible troll has ever bothered me. Jac, please, look through the troll till it disappears.

**passes around the Oreos** Be forewarned though ... my little nephew likes licking the cream and then returning the cookies back into the package

1:08 am

jacula, The fact remains, she only as a problem iif she THINKS she does. Why does that bother you? Is the reality of that too much for you to handle?

1:08 am

Oh, for heaven's sake. I shall sit this one out. Enjoy Sprite! Later Debs, Darleen....alll.

1:08 am

Er Hello *is careful not to walk through the middle of the heated debate*

1:08 am

mint choc oreos for me please!

1:08 am

LOL @ Pumpkin. I don't blame him.

1:08 am

Cya Mab... take care x

1:09 am

Bye mab.

1:09 am

No troll here. Just not enrolled in people playing the "oh woe is me" card when it is all about personal responsibillity.

1:09 am

Why is the song "Let It Be" keep popping into my mind?

1:09 am

*passes Atalante mint chocolate oreos, un-licked*

1:09 am

lotti!!! Good morning!! ((((XXXX))))

1:09 am

I take it an oreo is a biscuit!!

Aaah yes, Sprite ... resistence is futile

1:09 am

lotti! Welcome, and join me in the hunt for words :)

1:09 am

I dunno but I'm singing "Somewhere over the rainbow" in mine....lol

1:10 am

LOL

yes, Debs ... a chocolate sandwich cookie

1:10 am

Ah, Tuva. Troll talk there,calling me an 'Old' lady. In point of fact, I am not old, just a mother of a children. Which, don't get me wrong, I think makes me far more able to comment on whether or not they are okay than you. And don't throw what you've seen about my daughter at me, 'cos that won't wash. What's our problem?

1:10 am

Hi Sprite :) ((((((((XXXXxxxxXXXXxxxxXX XXxxxx))))))) Hey babe, you`re up late!!! *should i rephrase that??*

1:11 am

My jukebox is playing "Always look on the briiiiiight siiiiiiide of liiiiife.... peedoo, peedoopeedoopeedoo."

1:11 am

Debs - Oreo's are 2 chocolate cookies with a creme filling between, served best with milk!!!

1:11 am

Sorry about this spat Babblers, but it seems it has to be done.

1:11 am

you know... i doubt miyavi would want her mom fighting her battles for her. in fact, I remember being a 13 yr old chick. i distinctly remember falling and getting myself up. it's a good thing, too, cuz if my mom picked me up every time, I might still be on the ground. she's probably already over it, whatever it is.

1:11 am

now you assert that Miya is YOUR DAUGHTER? ROFLMAO!!! Ok. .. well, she creates her own problems in the world. You need to talk with her.

1:11 am

Sounds good to me...... wonder if they sell em in Sainsburys...lol

1:11 am

Hahahahaha... 8 am here, or about. But please don't rephrase. There is too much rephrasing going on as it is ;)

1:12 am

hi everyone! g'night everyone! *peeks under sheets for signs of trolls*

1:12 am

She actually came back and apologized to me publically for her behavior, but hey... don't let her fake MOM get in the way of her apologies... ROFLAMO!!!

1:12 am

bah ha ha ha - dutchoven. nice name. :)

1:12 am

Miy is NOT my own daughter and I never said she was. You've got lost on your posts now.

1:12 am

I think I'm getting a headache now......

1:12 am

It doesn't, Jacula. Not worth the energy. Let's join stillcrazy in that song.

1:13 am

Ok Sprite, if you insist!!!! :)

1:13 am

Speaking words of wisdom....Let it be!

1:13 am

I am Babbling a bit late, luv. "Down By The Seaside" on the box. And other Zep.

1:14 am

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ifffffffff your happy and you know it clap your hands.. "CLAP CLAP"

1:14 am

thx, ka! *hums along with stillcrazy*

1:14 am

if she is NOT your daughter, then WHY are you getting involved where you CLEARLY have no business?

1:14 am

lol deb...

1:14 am

"Said quietly" how many words today please?

1:14 am

NO, Tuva, she took some time out after you upset her, then she came back and smoothed things over so that conversation could continue. Very mature of her in my opinion. I also think she deserves an apology from you. She hinted she had a problem, you took the piss, she went away. When she came back, she admitted some news had hit her really hard. You contined to take the piss. I think this young girl handled you very well.

1:14 am

*clap clap*

1:15 am

Loadssssssssssssssssss mari....lol

1:15 am

mari 311

1:15 am

Torgh., Lotti, StillCrazy - humming along to Beatles or any rock record is fine by me. But I still want to throw punches.

1:15 am

Babbler, I simply spoke to her from a point of reality. She created a problem for herself. That was that.

1:16 am

Jac, if you are foolish enough to want to throw punches... bring it.

1:16 am

Hums the Rocky song

1:16 am

did you even ask her what was on her mind? I didn't see that you had. You jumped straight into your 'philosophy'.

1:16 am

Letssssssssssssssss do the timeeeeeeee warp againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

1:16 am

why don't you all exchange email addresses, then you can flame each other privately, and not subject the rest of us to you Opinions (yes, I meant to capitalize that).

1:16 am

selfish.

1:17 am

*your* reality though, tuva ... not necessarily a reality needed to be shown to an upset 13 year old

1:17 am

Ooops wrong Rocky song.... sorry...lol

1:17 am

Hear hear, kaka.

1:17 am

Babbler, it did not matter what was "on her mind". She was making drama in her life and needed to take personal responsibility for creating that drama.

1:17 am

amen to kaka from the gospel choir

1:17 am

Tuva if she is NOT your daughter, then WHY are you getting involved where you CLEARLY have no business? 'Because I am a mother, Tuva. When you become a father, you will maybe understand. Until such time, if you don't know what to say then BUTT OUT!

1:17 am

Jac......get over here on the dance floor!!!! I adore that kid, so i`m glad i didn`t have to read it...... but as babbler just said she IS a very mature girl and i`m proud to hear she handled the situation well :)

1:17 am

man.. some people have no idea about chat ettiquette. newbs.

1:17 am

how do you know, tuva?

1:18 am

Atlanta... She was the one creating the drama. All I did was point out that SHE was creating it herself.

1:18 am

The wheels on the bus go round and round... sorry all the baby pics today took me back....

1:18 am

Jacula, As a father, I can say quite comfortably that I have no problem with the way I handled that child. Any more foolish assertions on your part?

*puts fingers in virtual ears* LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

1:19 am

I's just like to say......... What is a 13yr old doing in here chattin with adults she doesn't know anyway.. My 15yr old is only allowed on here with log hidden and I always check to make sure it stays that way... My piece said <<goes off to kitchen to get happy pills in abundance

1:19 am

Babbler, I know because LIFE does not have a point of view. WE add the point of view. Therefore, SHE created the drama.

1:19 am

Chat etiquette rule nr one in cases like this: ignore what you don't like. I am starting to think Miyavi is more mature than any of us all in this.

1:20 am

lol sprite - and totally over it, too. she probably doesn't even remember. life moves pretty fast when yer 13.

1:20 am

so if someone bullies her, then she created that problem, did she?

1:20 am

Sprite, she came back and apologized to me for her conduct. As for the rest of these fools... well... what can you do?

1:20 am

Anyone can be who they like and what they like in cyber space... Take me I'm a 5ft 6" blonde..hourglass figure with blue eyes PMSL

1:20 am

Babbler, YES. She creates that as a problem.

**attempts to ignore everything, except the grid and the Oreos**

1:21 am

"40, never married, no kids"

1:21 am

Tuva.....if i mat interrupt!!!! Don`t shoot the messenger but your bio says NO kids!!!! ????????

1:21 am

lol - yeah - how do you know she's a she? how do you know she's only 13? when i first read her profile - i thought she was an old gay guy. so there you have it.

1:21 am

You want mine Tor?....lol

1:21 am

Lott.. Sorry that I have not completed my bio. Sheesh...

1:21 am

Another Oreo, Pumpkin? The grid IS fun today.

1:21 am

Debs - you must be my long lost twin sister because thats what I look like....lol

1:22 am

(((((((Tor)))))))) Great minds eh!!!! LOL

1:22 am

My long lost twin.......................... .. lol

1:22 am

Tuva - I do hpe that any children of yours have grown up into happy adult lives. If so, I congratulate you on that. However, I take your profile and put it here: Male Location Dallas Country United States Age 40 Bio 40, never married, no kids, 6foot, 175 lbs (12.5 stone), black hair, hazel eyes, have a house in Minn. but live in Dallas, have a great dog and 4 horses, can juggle, going to law school next fall, good singer, can sew, great dancer....

1:22 am

whee - i got all those crazy o's! woot!

1:22 am

that's not quite what happened, Tuva, and you know it. but the chat log is there for all to read, if they wish. I won't continue this any further, as my fellow buddies are getting upset. I'm wound up too and it's not doing me any good either. Tuva, I don't think you're being very nice.

1:22 am

Next life I'm gonna skip the kids and go right to the grandkids.

1:23 am

good lord jacula. have you *ever* chatted before?

1:23 am

Exactly what I have been thinking regarding maturity, Sprite! And actually, Miyavi is pretty well protected when she's here.

I'm all about the Oreos today, Sprite ... as a prodigal babbler rather unused to such long chat threads, I need the sugar!

1:23 am

Wow Tuva you sound a hunk....lol

1:23 am

I do have an adult child. Sorry, I don't count her as a kid, cuz she has a degree and a real job. I have removed the "no kids" from my bio. Are we all happy now?

1:24 am

<<Is happy and drooling actually...pmsl

1:24 am

I have an idea: Let's play the Babble game, and you guys with an AGENDA take it elsewhere. Thanks. Buh-bye.

1:24 am

Oooooo Time to get dressed me thinks!!!!

1:24 am

yay!

1:24 am

Babbler, What exactly is your problem with how I handled it? She CREATED the problem (aka drama) that she talked about. I simply pointed out that SHE created it.

1:24 am

WTG kaka. Please guys... can we stop paying so much attention to a pain in the butt? That whole "you create your own life/problem/whatever" stuff goes hand in hand with "what you turn your attention to, grows".

1:24 am

Kaka whatsit - yes,I have chatted before for many years and I have NEVER come across anything like that stuff to a 13-yr-old kid.

1:24 am

Really going now, before saying something I'll regret. (music -- Sunny Side of Life -- wells)

1:25 am

Cya Mab..take care :)

1:25 am

*Shouts after her* See ya later Mab!!!

1:25 am

Bye Mab

1:25 am

just gonna say one thing i think miy will be v. upset if she reads all this

1:26 am

back again...had to go and read yesterday's log...

1:26 am

bye mab. See you later.

1:26 am

(((((((mab))))) ;)

1:26 am

kaka, that stuff yesterday wasn't cool. : ( I'm outta here too. Not playing today, grid's too big. See everyone tomorrow!! : D xxx

1:26 am

Karenth... why would she be upset? I think she would see most of you as fools....

1:26 am

Heck, we are upset reading all this now put it to bed please.

1:26 am

ok, so you obviously realize that you can't change a person (for better or worse) through a chat site...

1:27 am

Oh, I am really sorry about this, guys, but I can't let this assualt on Miyavi go unchecked. But checked it is now, by all of us, I would hope. DR_God, TAKE NOTE!

1:27 am

Ah! We're all fools. Now I am enlightened!

1:27 am

<<Is a fool and proud of it!

1:27 am

I;m not commenting on anything about "The Argument Yesterday" - but seriously - is this really the most appropriate forum to discuss it? yer holding the rest of us hostage! It's a game site!

1:27 am

*sings What Kind Of Fool Am I*

1:27 am

kakamolaka; no 'whatsit'. Stay out the line of fire all.

1:28 am

*claps hands for kaka* Let's get back to babble, people, for a change.

1:28 am

Jacula, Jesus christ... get off of your drama pony and stop riding it around the house. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. what is your problem?

1:28 am

are any of the O words more than four letters long ?? Please

1:28 am

:D:D:D ((((((((( hugs for stillcrazy ))))))))))))) thank you for sending me off to sleep with a smile : )

1:28 am

Bye Babbler!!!

1:29 am

yvw Babbler....have a great sleep!

1:29 am

OOOps forget that... I was just working on the bottom O .....

1:29 am

Jacula... you can't let it go unchecked? What the f u c k are you talking about? Why is it YOUR job to handle things in here that are not up to your high and mighty standards? Mind your own business.

1:29 am

Blaze, darling, I will not force you to scroll down this log ;) There are at least 7 Os that are 7 or longer: 7/40, 8/60, 8/55, 7/40, 8/55, 8/60, 9/78.

1:29 am

Blaze there are lots of big O words 7, 8 and 9. Use your 4 to build on

1:29 am

G'nite Babbler!

1:30 am

LOL stillcrazy! :D well, I'd love to stay around for this, but I things to do on my day off...back later... :)

1:30 am

blaze: o 7/40 (x2) o 8/55 (x2) o 8/60 o 9/78

1:30 am

Kaka... There was NO arguement yesterday. Jacula is too busy minding the business of OTHERS to realize that.

1:30 am

Tuva - for as long as you keep challenging me I will keep slapping you back. For as long as you have no regard for kids or anyone else with problems, then I will keep punching your nose. Now please go away for the moment.

1:30 am

You have a good day sherb!

1:31 am

tuva - yer doing the same thing at this point. yer both the same.

1:31 am

Bye sherb :)

1:31 am

neither of you have any regard for the rest of us!

1:31 am

Nite all, must get some sleep and not have nightmares....

1:31 am

Tuva - don't make me angry, because you would not like me if I was angry.

1:31 am

Ka thank you... i was confused for a moment.... I see my error now... thanks for the assistance

1:31 am

Tor........ I`m a fool for you :)

1:31 am

Jacula, I am sorry that you were abused as a kid, but this is NOT your fight. You can't change the past by trying to stick up for some other underaged kid that you feel will bring you salvation of some kind for what you have suffered. Get over yourself and mind your own business!

1:32 am

LOL

1:32 am

Jacula, I find you being angry as mildly amusing.

1:32 am

I do have regard for my fellow Babblers, but I will not see a child be belittled by someone on here.

1:32 am

lotti!!! You still here??

1:33 am

Kaka, No. I am minding MY business. Jacula has gotten a burr up her ass to mind the business of others.

1:33 am

Do you Tuva? Well I hope it suitsa you to be mildy amused you silly little man.

1:33 am

then shut up.

1:33 am

Jacula, Do you KNOW her? Do you honestly know if she is a child or not? NO. So MIND YOUR OWN F U C K I N G BUSINESS!

1:33 am

((((((((((((((((((Tor))))))))) )))))))))))) Of course darling!!

1:33 am

i have to say... how the he ll can oreo not be a word???? there is something very wrong with the board today....

1:33 am

PFUI

1:33 am

both of you.

1:34 am

nothing personal.

1:34 am

Jacula, The best you can hope for is to mildly amuse me.

my sentiments exactly, soso

1:34 am

I don't like the cussing so please stop.....you can argue without it.

1:34 am

Tuva, there's a place for you on FARK. Go there.

1:35 am

you are both acting like you are 12 years old. yer just taking jabs at each other. NEITHER one of your arguments have a leg to stand on. stop while you still have some dignity left.

1:35 am

Tor I am being attacked here. I will defend myself against mindless zealots like Jacula who have no concept of the truth.

1:35 am

Tuva..... that really is a foul mouth you have there!!!! ENOUGH :)

1:35 am

Jacula... could you PLEASE stop and be the wiser? Please?

1:35 am

Hear Hear, stillcrazy! When an argument devolves to profanity, both sides have lost...

1:36 am

Hi GW..... jobs done????

1:36 am

Woulf... am I glad to see you :D Shouldn't you be asleep soundly now? Did the yelling wake you?

1:36 am

Hi there Grey Woulf! Good to see you.

1:37 am

Morning Woulf :)

1:37 am

lotti - for now :) trying to get some headway on the grid, since I have a busy day off tomorrow -- trying to find a second job to pay my bills :(

1:37 am

Any room at the grownups' table?

1:38 am

gnite yall. harry potter audio books await. it'll wash all this nonsense away. good luck to the people actually playing the game! -cheers-

1:38 am

If only babbling would pay bills, we'd all have loads of leasure time ;)

1:38 am

(((((*sprite*)))))

1:38 am

Wow Griffums!!! Been a while.

1:38 am

Griffs, for you always ;)

1:38 am

Well speaking for myself I've had enough of listening to this.. Life is hard enough without having to hear two adults arguing over someone who niether actually knows in "real life"....

1:38 am

Morning Debs! So anyone find the 10 yet?

1:39 am

Hey Griff..... :) Bye Kaka :)

1:39 am

Take care all... be happy & try to smile lifes too short xxxxxxxxxxx

1:39 am

Jups, S10/77

1:39 am

Griffums! *hug* How you doin', dawg?

1:39 am

I have to agree with Debs... But sadly, Jacula can't see that.........

1:39 am

why am I not surprised, sprite ;D

1:39 am

I'm better, thanks.

1:40 am

Jac--Watch and Learn: if you read back in the log, you'll notice that Tuva was trying to bait ME, not you. I was happily reading my book and thought I'd check in for a few before bedtime. You'll also notice, that I didn't answer Tuva, and he stopped going after me. Besides, he's drunk. He told us so. This is a game on the Internet, not a forum on true meaning of life.... Off to bed.

1:40 am

Tuva - all I really wanted to say in the first place was that what we possibly have here is a 13-yr-old girl. She says she has a problem We don't yet know what it is. Could be a huge zit on the end of her nose when she has a hot date looming, could be the fact that she does not have a hot date looming, or even something like she's forgotten to get sausages in for the family breakfast. Point is, to her, it's a problem. But, due to you, we didn't even get to hear what the problem was, did we?

1:40 am

Stupid me, trying to jump in. Forget I said anything. These aren't the droids you're looking for . .

1:41 am

Must go iron my jeans....... See you all later :) ((((((((XXXxxxXXX))))))))) Thats your bedtime snuggle hun, might see you later xxxxx

1:41 am

Woulf, seriously, it's been a long time I spent so much time hunting words and so little joining the chat. I am down to about 50 words as a result, LOL.

1:41 am

So, um, like did anything happen while I was away? ;D

1:42 am

That does it. ****Hiding log, returning Saturday****

1:42 am

Harp. You only concluded that I am drunk from the 9 bottles of beer that are around my computer. STOP STARING AT MY MONITOR! :p (oh, and I am VERY drunk)

1:43 am

Just GOT to have the last word .... so it never ends

1:43 am

Sprite I only have 28 words so far, but they are all spelled with the same 5 letters. I pause to wonder how that can be...

1:43 am

Jacula, No matter what you try to say here... you are NOT minding your own business. You have NO business taking issue with me on this matter. Step off.

drunk, and yet you still type so well ... kudos, Tuva!

1:43 am

*drops to knees and bows in general direction of the netherlands* I am not worthy! I am not worthy! :D Seriously, you have made my jaw drop again sprite ;D

1:43 am

lotti - I hope that will hold me - busy day AGAIN tomorrow. ((((((((((((lotti)) ))))))))))) later, luv.

1:44 am

thanks NOW... I got me some great hand-eye coordination!

1:45 am

Griffs, nothing happened worth mentioning. :D And 28 words that fast? WOw. Woulf: get of those knees! If you had been here with me, you would have finished the grid by now, for sure ;)

1:45 am

Another for good measure then xxxxxx (((((((((((xxxxxxxxXXX XXXxxxxxxxxxxxx))))))))))))))) See ya babe xxxxxxxxx :)

1:45 am

for the record.. Torgone... GREAT line!

babble and beer ... good combination. though nowhere near as good as babble and oreos.

1:45 am

HarpJane - you mean he's yet another internet troll? Well, I thought I recognised that kind of scum after all these years. But maybe I did not, this time? Perhaps my mothering instinct overcame that. Well, I'm sorry if I spoiled the log for all you you, but all I could see was someone trying to take advantage of a child. And I wlll make no apologies for trying to defend her.

1:46 am

No one asks for apologies, Jacula. Just begging to stop.

1:46 am

Jacula, I am not an troll. I am simply one who is honest enough to tell a child when they are creating their OWN hell on earth. Sadly, you are too patronizing to do the same.

1:47 am

And. by the way, Tuva - I have EVERY RIGHT to take issue miwth you on this.

1:48 am

Jacula, How was I trying to take advantage of her by allowing her to see that she can build a world to suit her word? By telling her that her word creates her world I am telling her a truth that you are too cowardly to tell her yourself because you don't believe it. Truth is: Your word creates your world!

1:48 am

BUT NOT WITH ALL THE REST OF US WHO DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU ANYMORE...EITHER ONE OF YOU!

1:48 am

*rises up from the ground, cursing creaky, cold muscles* OK, your faith in me has restored some of my confidence :) *steps to the edge of the grid, dips in one toe, and then bellyflops back in* Geronimoooooo!

1:48 am

Jacula, Just cuz you got pregnant and crapped out a kid does not give you the right to intervene in the life of another human being.

1:49 am

KNOCK IT OFF!

1:49 am

Ah, Woulf, I love the company :) Let's swim.

1:49 am

Tuva - you are just trying to trap me into telling you to 'eff off'. But I won't do that, because, for the life of me, I have no idea what makes you 'tick'. All I will say to you, is please steer cleasr of Miya.

1:50 am

Ok, sprite -- but I have to confess... I only doggy paddle ;D

1:50 am

In that case: let's play, Woulf ;)

1:50 am

Jacula, I will NOT steer clear of ANYONE based upon your idle threats. Go stuff yourself.

1:51 am

Jacula, I will offer you some advice for free. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS from here on out.

1:52 am

We are here to solve word puzzles. NOT to stick our noses in where they CLEARLY don't belong, Jacula... so go elsewhere.

1:53 am

and your point is?

1:53 am

Oh, I forgot.... you HAVE NO POINT

1:53 am

That's twice and unnecessary, Jacula. Stop bugging us.

1:53 am

I have just emailed Dr. God in hope that he will stop this offensive use of chat.

1:53 am

What the hell is this all about? I try to defend a child and suddenly find myself demonised?

1:54 am

Still, I agree with you.. . Jacula needs some medication.

1:54 am

It shouldn't be necessary, stillcrazy, but you are right, it seems to go on forever.

1:54 am

Stillcrazy - I'm glad you have done that because I was about to do it myself.

1:54 am

Jacula, It is because it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

1:54 am

The point is that 2 hours of beating your head against a brick wall is agonising torture for the rest if us to be forced to endure

1:54 am

You are to blame mostly

1:55 am

Still, I am defending myself from unnecessary attacks.

1:55 am

We all want you both to stop

1:55 am

Hear hear Woulf.

Please, just let it go. Both of you. You've had your say. Again and again and again.

1:56 am

Oh my goodness! what's going on here....

1:56 am

judie: hide the log, jump into the grid with Woulf and me :)

1:56 am

Wolfie, I know that! But I can I stop sticking up for a child agiainst this nutter?

1:56 am

And me and me!

1:56 am

Tuva - you are equally to blame -- your obvious desire to be perceived as superior because you have nastered the art of pushing other peoples buttons is nothing to be proud of... It is a sad cry for help from a lonely soul

clue for the O/9, please?

1:57 am

AND Griffs! :)

1:57 am

jacula, Why is it ANY of your business? You don't know this person, you don't even know if she IS a child. You are just sticking your nose in where you have NO business!

1:58 am

V4/7... wish I had that right!

1:58 am

isn't it sad ~~sigh~~~there are other sites that expressions on issues can be stated...

1:58 am

Well, i'd give a clue for that, but there's no point now, is there? I've stuck up for a child and so I'm persona non grata.

1:58 am

Grey, Just because I am not suckered in by Jacula's cry for attention does not make me to blame. She is attacking me and it is NONE of her business.

1:59 am

You have had your share and then some on the attacking!

1:59 am

Jacula, ALL that you have done is cause problems here on the site. Y ou have done NOTHING for Miya at all... Not a thing.

1:59 am

Tuva - I was not look for attention, merely asking, quite politely in the first place, that you allow her to do so.

2:00 am

CUT IT OUT! All of you. If we all go telling Tuva and Jacula over and over again they should stop, it is getting worse, apparently. May I suggest ignore-ignore-ignore?

2:00 am

This is the last thing I have to say about this -- I enjoy Babble a great deal, I consider ALL of you to be my friends, But I am not having a fun time right now, and that is what the chat log is all about --- HAVING FUN!!! Jac - you sought to redress a perceived wrong, which is admirable, but nothing is going to change Tuv's mind Tuva - you are deriving pleasure at the expencse of everyone else on the log The time has come to end this useless argument or else move it to a different venue -- NOW!

2:00 am

Jacula, ALL you were doing was NOT MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS> You were SEEKING ATTENTION. And you got it. Now you play the martyr... what a joke!

2:00 am

This is not what I came here for.

2:01 am

Take a deep breath, Tuva and Jacula. Let's drop it. The next one to chat about anything other than Babble, ZZ Top or baking cookies is gonna get banned from chatting until I wake up tomorrow.

2:01 am

I second Woulf from the bottom of my heart.

2:01 am

Grey, If you think that I am here to get pleasure, go F yourself. I am defending my name. She is attacking me without reason.

2:01 am

Many thanks, Dr. God

2:01 am

YES!!!! THANK YOU DR. GOD!

2:01 am

I like cookies.

2:02 am

I love you Dr_God. And I love baking cookies.

what a great idea ... baking cookies!

2:02 am

Tuva - I broke my own rules. because I did not realise what you are. An internet troll. Please GO AWAY and leave all of us in peace.

2:02 am

Pumpkin, we are of the same mind in this ;)

2:02 am

all hail Dr God! (soz, I didn't go..... )

2:02 am

Dr God. Jacula is attacking me on an issue that is NONE OF HER BUSINESS. Miya actually came back and apologized to me publically for her conduct and Jacula is still attacking me.

2:02 am

I've sung Let It Be till it's driving me crazier still

2:03 am

A couple hours ago at the board meeting I was chairing, a 9-year-old brought us all the presents from her birthday party (she made our charity the birthday recipient) AND chocolate chip cookies she made today. Yum!

2:03 am

Make my cookies oatmeal raisin choc chip, please!

2:03 am

Pfui, ywis!

2:03 am

Jacula, Mind your own business and you wont have any more problems. Keep attacking me and you will live in a new circle of hell.

2:03 am

Sounds great to me, Woulf. Done :)

2:04 am

Jamie - I'm sorry, but you see what my point is/was? I'll drop it now.

2:04 am

That is great, Griffs!

Bravo! Dr_God has an M.D. in whup ass! (or is that a Ph.D?)

2:04 am

tyUVA - do NOT threaten me!

2:04 am

That is so cool, Griff!

2:05 am

THANK YOU , Jacula, Please, stick to minding your own business from now on.

2:05 am

We got everyone's point 2 hours ago!

2:05 am

Yeah it was. She was so tickled that she was called to the board room to make her presentation. We were thrilled at the TON of stuff she'd collected. But, transparently, extra happy about the cookies. :D

2:05 am

Argh.

2:05 am

Sorry, I didn't go away either. A bit like watching a train wreck. Ywis, Grey you spoke well.

2:05 am

Now I want cookies.

2:05 am

Jacula, I will do what I feel necessary to shut your yap when you are not minding your own business. care to challenge me further?

2:06 am

Thank you, mab

2:06 am

Cookies! Cookies! Cookies!

2:06 am

you most certainly did, GW *hugs*. : )

2:07 am

So sprite, are you finished with the puzzle now?

2:08 am

Tuva - I will say whatever I think needs to be said, if I need to, wherever you are. And, I repeat, do NOT threaten me.

2:08 am

*hugs Babbler* Now if this adrenalin rush I've got going would just fade so I could go get some much needed rest! :D Being male has its disadvantages at times, lol

2:08 am

pumpkin - re ov 9: all of the long ov words are compound with the first part being the ov 4/7

2:08 am

29 more to find, Griffs. And they are tough!

2:09 am

Back into the water then, Woulf. We'll get you cooled down. I hope ;)

thank ye, cyberman ... you officially rock today's casbah

2:09 am

tell you what, GW, let's both of us take deep yoga breaths, in for three, hold for three, out for six.......... then log out? and then to sleep? : )

2:10 am

I second that for c-nan

2:10 am

I think the problem with this grid is that there are too many words in it.

2:10 am

i'm grounding and centering now, folks Coming down slowly, and still finding words, Yay!

2:10 am

just sayin

2:11 am

Can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin Don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to When I talked to God, Iknew he'd understand He said Stick by me, I'll be your guiding hand But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to

2:11 am

good job Grey!

i feel like such an idiot for not tacking on an S to the O/8 ... was rivetted by all the chat action, i guess

and my apologies, cybernan, for the misspelling

2:13 am

Glad you said that pumpkin /adds s/

2:13 am

LOL Tor...... I luv ya babe xxxxxx I`m really off for good now xxxxxx Well for an hour or two anyway :) (((((((((((((Torgone)))))) ))))))))

2:13 am

tor - so long as you speak the truth, you will give the answer I want you to ;)

2:13 am

Hear hear Woulf again... should I start contradicting you just for the sake of it, Woulf? :)

2:14 am

LOL, sprite

2:14 am

Don't even think about it!

2:14 am

Broke the 200, so I'm off for some zzz's -- see you tomorrow!

2:15 am

I recognise that from somewhere Tor, but can't remember where........ : ) well, I've calmed down now too. G'nite all, *hugs* GW : D

2:15 am

don't worry, stillcrazy -- if she does I'll let Coyote take over for a bit and lick her on the nose! :D

2:15 am

Wow you rock cybernan! Have a good one.

2:15 am

Oh man, I finally figured out GW's icon. It was not what I thought it was.

2:15 am

night babbler!

2:15 am

I have been reading this ridiculous post and had to go back and look at yesterdays post. I just would like tuva to know that miya did not apologize to you for what she said, she just apologized for how it might have come acrossed. This is what miya said. I copied and pasted it. Hi everyone, again. Tuva, I hope I didn't seem rude earlier! Got my head in order a bit more and can't believe how brash I was being...not like me. I'm sorry! This whole debate over who's right and who's wrong is just a waste of time, and I know that the I and probably the other babblers in here right now could care less, and would like to babble in peace.

2:16 am

Griff, I'm almost afraid to ask -- what did you think it was?

2:16 am

lotti - light of my life! ((((((((((((((((((((XXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX)))))))))))))))) ) GW - It's a song lyric. Truth is subjective. Music is fun.

2:16 am

....I was wondering where you found a black and white version of the big rat off the D-Con box. I think maybe I need new glasses.

thanks again, cybernan!

2:17 am

G'Nite, Babbler -- sleep well and have a great day tomorrow (or whatever, these cross ocean convo's are getting confusing :D )

2:17 am

Griff -- ROFLMAO!!!

2:17 am

I'm with you on that one GW....never know if it's day or night.

2:17 am

Babbler - It's an old Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green) song.

2:18 am

is it on' Rumours' , Tor?

2:18 am

Well, waiting to ee if my post had come up in the slow posting of posts, I can only say well so sorry for trying to defend a child.

**waves to everyone who's leaving, which is the cyberneighbourly thing to do**

2:19 am

Yeah laugh at me. When I was in first grade I got a school paper back with a big red X on a mistake (sob!) for not marking all the things that started with M. Well, I didn't mark the Mouse because it was the rat off the D-Con box and I dang well knew it didn't start with M! (And so did my mother...and then so did my teacher.) Thus the babbler was born...

2:19 am

tor - I recognised it as a lyric, but couldn't resist responding anyway. Thanks for the ID --- cos it was niggling at me :)

2:20 am

Before that, Babbler. OLD Fleetwood, but recently redone on a live album . . .

2:20 am

Okay, here is some Roszak. My life motto, if anyone is interested. "We meet as strangers, each of us carrying a secret. I can't say who you are; I might never get to know you completely. But I trust you are a person in your own right, filled with a beauty and a worth that are the richest resources on earth. Therefore I promise you this: I will not lay identities on you, but I will invite you to become yourself, without shame or fear. I will defend your right to find an authentic calling. For as long as your quest continues, you have my loyalty. Theodore Roszak"

2:20 am

Seeing as I don't seem to have had much backing on that, I dubt you'll be seeing me here again.

2:20 am

Forgive the sloppy translation, I only have the text in dutch.

2:22 am

jacula i agree with what you have been saying. I looked at the website, and tuva has lost his mind!!!!!!!!

2:22 am

Jac - please don't be like that, it wasn't intended in that manner at all -- Please email me so we can work this out?

2:22 am

I copied and pasted that, sprite. it's wonderful. Jac, I and a few others already backed you.

2:22 am

And please, let's not start again.

2:22 am

As Joylee seems to have said, 'I have wasted my time'.

Jacula, don't let anyone get in the way of your enjoyment of Babble. Today is just one bad chat day. Everyone's ready to move on and play. :)

2:23 am

This is a topic that even Dr. God cannot stop....?

2:23 am

Griffs.... come back to the water with me???

2:23 am

sprite - I think you did a bang on job of translation -- It's a wonderful sentiment and it matches how I try to relate to otheres fairly well :)

2:24 am

I tried Griffums

2:24 am

Jacula that was meant exactly for you. I was trying to say that arguing with someone like him is a waste of breath. Save your energy for someone worth a damn!

2:24 am

yes ma'am!!! *shakes water from fur to start all over again!*

2:24 am

Jacula - Please don't go away. When you get into a fight like that, both sides look bad. Let it cool off a bit, chat with Miyavi_fan, get your feelings out over time. I, personally would hate to lose you over something like this.

2:24 am

Hear Hear torgone!!

2:25 am

I think that when all of us ask you to please stop and you don't it's offensive. I have enjoyed you in the past and hope to continue but please don't put us through this again.

2:26 am

Had a feeling it might, Woulf ;) We actually have the text hanging on our fridge. Whenever I get into a clinch with my kids (about every day, that is), I read it and realise that is how I want to raise them. Not that I always do, but hey, I am trying ;)

2:26 am

Help please...I have 3 O/8 and could use a clue for the fourth...I have ones for more grass, more groups and watching...any help on the last? Thanks! And Jacula, don't let a drunk drive you from the fun of the game...

2:26 am

that was really quite beautiful sprite

2:27 am

I've had a few of those inspirations, sprite, while raising kids. Also had days when I just wanted to nail it to their foreheads which might be missing the point...

2:27 am

sprite - thats all any of can do (try our best, that is) (*hug*)

2:28 am

Lol Griffs, I agree! Still it helps to know where you are heading, even on moments you can't remember for the life of you what made you have them in the first place. Love is a funny thing.

2:28 am

LOL at Griffums!

2:28 am

Griff - now that you mention it, my icon DOES kinda look like the D-Con rat! ;D

2:28 am

Wolfie - I did try to e-mail you but your address on the profile wasn't accepted.

2:29 am

Thanks Woulf *hugs back very warmly) I do feel raising kids is an everyday challenge and all I can hope for is I am fairly up to it.

Norad ... to exceed or go beyond something, such as a boundary

2:30 am

Yeah...but you know, then *they* become parents and that's when the evil glee begins.

2:30 am

Jac - that's strange, try again, cos others have had no prob

2:31 am

now you know why I love being a grandma!

2:31 am

I will gloat then :) About the O8s: there is one that has to do with putting your feet down one after another.

2:32 am

Er... the second part then. If you do it too much, it becomes the O.

2:32 am

Jac -I just checked my bio -- there's a space in the address, did you maybe try to paste it in?

2:32 am

I can see the rat now, Griff....

2:32 am

Good night all. I hope that all the fussing is over with now! Good Luck Babbling!

2:33 am

Now_a_pumpkin...Thanks so much, great clue!!! I typed all around that one! Thanks to Sprite too.

2:33 am

But I'm sure it's a noble rat!

no prob, Norad :) happy to help

2:34 am

yw Norad :D

2:34 am

An alpha rat. (teasing)

2:34 am

There's a guy outside my house right now, dressed in the usual road blokes' gear, flourescen waistcoat and all that, but with a Santa hat on. He's doing the last layer of tarmac ofer the hole the water board dug.

2:34 am

LOL @ mab!

2:34 am

Hey, if it was chasin' me I'd run!

2:34 am

LOL, indeed, mab!

2:35 am

Really, Jacula? That's too funny :) I love it when people do stuff like that.

2:35 am

Hey, an alpha is still an alpha

2:37 am

Hi guys...bear hugs for all from a happy bear (just had baked cheesecake for breakfast!! SO decadent!!)

2:37 am

tbear! You saved us all a piece, right? :D

2:37 am

oh yum! Hi tbear.

2:38 am

sprite first three of you at my door get a piece but then.......

2:38 am

Must go now. Happy Babbling, all you guys.

2:39 am

I was first... but I am willing to share ;)

2:39 am

Oh, cheesecake! Ding dong! Knock knock!! Am I first?

2:39 am

night torgone.

2:39 am

Always and forever GreyWoulf.....

2:40 am

You weren't, Woulf, but you can share my piece :)

2:40 am

figures you'd beat me, sprite ;D Hi tbear!! (*hug*)

2:40 am

The perfect breakfast food, tbear. Now I am mis-seeing tbear's icon; overlooked the alien and thought it was a cresent. Hmmmm.

2:40 am

Torgone...allergic to cheesecake?

2:40 am

*throws the cookies back in the jar* May I have a piece?

2:41 am

Not at all, tbear. I just can't eat this late.

2:41 am

stillcrazy - since sprite's sharing hers with me, you can have my piece!

2:41 am

clues for the st 8 and st 9 anyone please?

2:42 am

awwww you are sooooo sweet!

2:42 am

rest well, torgone -- see you tomorrow

2:42 am

Good day/night, all. I was hoping for a bit of a nudge for that suite of en8/9s, if you've got them. My eyes are closing and I really want to find them before bed if I can!

2:42 am

That's it...it's all gone...I'm so glad i'm not the only one gets overexcited 'bout food...

2:44 am

Melissa, think of globes being put around something. St8/9... I don't think there is a combo of that. I have a St9, the state of being firm. And St8, plural of kid that you didn't get by birth but marriage.

2:44 am

Linda0...st/8...your spouse's male children from previous marriage...sorry, don't have the 9

2:44 am

thanks Morad

2:45 am

stillcrazy - I wasn't voted Babbles greatest Gentleman for my good looks alone, after all ;)

2:45 am

yw...don't get to help often...

2:46 am

Though they helped, Woulf ;)

2:47 am

Thanks very much, Sprite. I don't have them yet, but I'm having some entertaining visualizations!

2:47 am

But there again you don't make your e-mail easy, Soory, tried again and just got shown lots of bluff bics inviting me to type the name.

2:47 am

And all icons now look as they should and it is quiet but for the merry sounds of babbling. I am calm. ok.

2:48 am

sprite - did you get to see my icon from before the flip? Earlier in the day it was just my daughter, but then i put up one with both her and me in it

2:48 am

Lol melissa :) You might have the S6/24-7/36 combo that is the ending of the Es.

2:49 am

I am so sorry, Woulf, I haven't. Would have loved too.

2:49 am

That is really odd, Jac -- I'm also registerd on the ezboard, hopefully that won't go all wonky on you ;)

2:49 am

Norad would you like a 9 clue?

2:49 am

Mab - please just Babble away and don't panic. I am ony here to ask Wolfie about his e-mail address,

2:50 am

that would be great tbear...

2:51 am

sprite -- ask and it shall be done -- refresh ;)

2:51 am

I gave a 9 clue along with the 8, actually. Perhaps it got lost beneath the E-clues.

2:51 am

back again...coffee, croissant, Babble...bliss :)

2:52 am

O Woulf, so sweet! Both of you :D And a lovely couple as well. You are a great joy to each other, I can tell from the pic. :)

2:52 am

Sprite darling, you overestimate me! But that's another little nudge toward the light of comprehension.

2:52 am

wb sherb!

2:53 am

how ya doing still? I was so busy reading earlier, I've still got 310 words to go, lol :)

2:54 am

en9/66 is the plural of en8/50,which is to encapsulate, or sprites clue, think of globes being put around something......en plus sp6/24 and its plural...hope that helps

2:55 am

Ghegheghe, sherb... I was so busy staying clear of the log, I will finish shortly (if I ever get those 5 missing Ns, a bunch of missing Rs and still one last V).

2:55 am

I did see the 9 clue Sprite, thanks so much, just too tired to figure it out I guess! I'm also trying to pick up the E's you hinted at...you are always a big help to us!

2:56 am

doing ok sherb up to 182 now

2:57 am

It is the way we help eachother along that keeps attracting me to this game. I love to give help as much as getting it ;)

2:57 am

It's good to see 'real' people...altho for some reason i had you as twice the age you look in your photo, GreyWoulf....

2:58 am

That's funny, Woulf, you look pretty much the way I figured you would. Your daughter is even more pretty than I thought, though :)

2:58 am

Thanks for your help too, tbear -- honestly I think the problem is that I'm just too tired to see it. I'm sure I'll see it when I'm fresher! I think I'll toddle off to bed. Best of luck, all of you!

2:58 am

tbear - my age is in my profile -- how old do I look in the picture?

2:58 am

Sweet dreams, Melissa!

2:59 am

night melissa :)

3:00 am

*yawn* I think I'm headed to that biscuit too. Why stay up late when I can do this at work tomorrow? :D Also need to get sleep to finish the flu recovery. Also am enjoying the first warm night in my house in 7 weeks courtesy of Mr. Furnace Man. Er, I mean, he fixed it.

3:01 am

Sweet globular dreams to you all too!

3:01 am

Glad for you, Griffs, it isn't nice to have a cold home. Hope you get better soon. Sweet dreams :)

3:01 am

thanks for a all the good hints tonight. it's been fun. goodnight

3:01 am

lol, we KNOW what you mean Griff! sleep well :)

3:01 am

I'm right behind you Griffums.....sleep beckons. Night everyone.

3:02 am

Worse when the temps outside are frightful. (Guy on a tech support line today: "Gosh, it must be freezing up there." Us: "Freezing would be a big improvement.") 'Night everyone.

3:02 am

night still :) night nava :)

3:02 am

Wolfie, you look around 37 u=in your pics.

3:02 am

Wow Griff...I was going to ask just what the furnace man did for warmth...gnite

3:02 am

LOL @ that line, Griffs.

3:03 am

I really love that lady's sense of humour!

3:06 am

GreyWoulf...lost my connection.....mid forties??

3:07 am

phew! 20 minutes to find the n's...this is going to be a long day...

3:07 am

Oh well, never mind, ignore the member you once liked because she took on someone who had a go at a smaller site member.My main interest is the grid. but no matter...

3:07 am

*makes mental note to self to check for plurals, singulars and verb forms more often, you dummy!* Found the missing ones, so I will leave you at 311 words / 5.38 / 5502 points. I'll check back to see if there is need for clues.

3:08 am

gnite sprite...finally found the st9...thanks

3:09 am

WTG Norad!

3:12 am

Got them...the en8 and 9(X2) thanks for all the help babblers and goodnight.

3:16 am

*hugs to all babblers that want them* Got to do some work, finally.

3:16 am

lost my connection for a moment...normal service resumed...relief!

3:16 am

And no point in looking fo words now, since site as gone on a go slow.

3:17 am

did everyone time clock say one minute and then lose connection to game?

3:17 am

Yes, I guess there was a problem with the site/server. It's back to normal now here.

3:19 am

Hi everyone -- site went wonky -- tried to post a response and lost connection instead -- too tired to retype it all -- need to go to sleep -- But - not ignoring anybody intentionally, just busy in a nother window instead of grid hunting ;)

3:20 am

Oh, I forot. \most of you don't want to see me here anywaym do you? Sorry for the interupti9 l Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

3:20 am

Have a great night of sleep, Woulf, if not in hours, then at least in quality *hug*

3:21 am

Jac - check babble inbox in about 5 mins, OK!

3:22 am

night GW :)

3:22 am

Give it a rest, Jac. You are not ignored, only this kind of statements are. Hope to see you back soon.

3:25 am

anyone got the 10 letter word yet? hint?

3:28 am

\Well, Sprite. Thank you for your kind words. Let not another dare try to defend a child. An so be it,

3:30 am

Jac - you have mail -- and I am going to bed -- it is 4:30 and I need to sleep -- Baby woke uop at 8:30 this AM -- who knows how much time I have to get some sleep now? (*Hugs to all with extras for sprite and Jac*) TTFN

3:31 am

sorry, nava...the longest I have so far are sixes :(

3:32 am

okay, maybe i'll really go to bed now. i thought i was earlier, but then i started finding more words and couldn't stop.

3:34 am

10 letter St word: seeing double, greek plural. nava, I know the feeling. It is so addicting, this game, just because of that. :) Bye all, see you soon.

3:35 am

bye sprite...and thanks for the help :) I'll save that clue for later...

3:35 am

thanks very much! nite

3:37 am

nite nava :)

4:36 am

I'm fascinated by how quiet the chat log is. I've got to go and use some eg4/8 to make a cake. Hope to be back later. Is anybody else there?

4:37 am

Yeah Haz.....hi, bake one for me too please :)

4:38 am

Will do, lotti - but will the cream not spoil in the post?

4:39 am

LOL...just send the cake then, i`ll add the cream at this end.....yum yum :)

4:42 am

I'm still here too...just slowly babbling away...

4:42 am

Hi Lotti.How is everyone?

4:47 am

No words typed in yet ,still on paper.I`d better start typing.

4:47 am

LOL Ros...no kidding :) I wasn`t gonna bother entering any words at all, but the addiction grabbed my han and forced me to type!!!!!

4:47 am

Hi Sherb.

I was just going to see how big the puzzle was and I am still here 45 minutes later

4:49 am

I started cleaning, but took the dreaded break for coffee and toast......they pointed the way to the pc!!!

I still ahve to have a shower and do housework

4:51 am

If i didn`t have a school run to do, i`m sure i`d still be here in my PJs :)

I was going to so much today but it was raining when I got up.

4:53 am

Mmmm thats my excuse too ;o)

I went out early yesterday to listen to grandchildren singing carols at tescos

4:59 am

Aw Ros thats nice...my son has his nativity at school next Thursday, my daughters concert is the week after at church :)

I really enjoy seeing the school nativity and feel so proud if my grandchildren are in them.

5:02 am

Yeah, my son missed last year as he was off ill, so hopefully he will be the shepherd next week :)

thats nice i hope you enjoy it. Do you have to make any of the costumes?

5:09 am

LOL No thank goodness, i`d pass on that and ask my mum.........wouldn`t i mum????!!!!

who's your mum

5:11 am

Macadam :)

5:12 am

Just finished typing the list .Probably is the answer.It depends what costumes!

thats nice you can talk each over and play babble. i talk to my daughter on msn

5:14 am

We see each other almost every day :) Only live about 15mins drive away!!

I see my daughter nearley every day see lives 5 minutes walk away 2 in the car.

5:15 am

I seem to have invented lots of words which are not acceptable.Such a pity.

ther are so many today. do you always finish the puzzle

5:17 am

I used to live away, but still in UK. Nearly 7 years away, but came back to buy our own house :)

5:19 am

I soooo want Tosser to be ther, cos thats the way I feel about my other half today!!!!!!!........So on with the cleaning to release some aggression :) See you all later :)

5:20 am

Re prefix strikes again.Some go some don`t.

5:21 am

I don`t always finish,but it`s a great feeling when you do.

5:22 am

Bye both of you.

I have finished a few times but normally when the puzzles are smaller.

6:18 am

6:25 am

Go for it Sherb.I`m on the e`s too.

6:30 am

hi guys...been here for a bit. its 4:30am and i havent been to bed yet due to this game!

6:34 am

ramix, me too! i'm obsessed with finding all the words

6:35 am

hi ramix :) I'd be up at 4.30 for Babble too, but my body won't let me...

6:36 am

sherb...i'm off work ill for a couple of weeks and babble has completely changed my sleep patters. i dont go to bed till i'm done, some days not till 8am! it's a sick sick obsession!

6:40 am

I guess I'm lucky that it starts at 6am my time, so if I haven't finished it by bedtime, it's not going to happen! :)

6:40 am

Ramix , The consolation is that there is something to do in the middle of the night that takes your mind off everything else.OK I admit it.it`s addictive :)

6:41 am

i never knew how obsessive i was still i started playing this game! i need therapy!

6:42 am

addictive, but harmless...apart from the occasional verbal fisticuffs ;)

6:43 am

I don`t think there are enough therapists worldwide to sort us all out.

6:43 am

this is therapy, ramix...the Babble cure...but what will you do when you have to go back to work? (no, no, don't think about that now...)

6:44 am

sherb, you want to cause my mental breakdown huh? i refuse to think about that! let me enjoy my last 10 days of babble madness!

6:48 am

Time for a break for lunch,then back to start on the p`s.See you later.

6:49 am

see you later mac :)

Thanks...I picked it out when I didn't think there was a theme today..interesting how he fits in..I hope he doesn't get too cold around the real snowmen! lol

7:19 am

Mornin' all. Can you tell I'm feeling the heat? 311! Hellooooo Are you trying to kill me?

7:20 am

Good evanadine... I'm about the same. 101 to go.

7:20 am

don't make my send my missles to you!!

7:20 am

man, this icon seems to be popular today! haha

7:20 am

hi gramma

7:21 am

lol This is becoming near impossible and I have so much to go.

7:21 am

you haven't got them yet!!

7:21 am

the boys are my missles

7:21 am

Suddenly the place is busy, Hi to all, including snowmen.

7:22 am

Well, he's adorable, Babs. Hehe...we can always warm up some milk for him. :)

7:22 am

Hiya macadam ;o)

7:22 am

hi macadam

7:22 am

hi gramma :) yay...finished the e's...

7:23 am

Good on ya Sherb.Me too.

7:23 am

Ok. I didn't realize I was commiting icon infringement. I'll switch.

7:24 am

Is my snowman showing up? I'm still seeing that cute little baby I put on last night.

7:24 am

Missy you`re a snowman!

7:25 am

I see your snowman, MM

7:25 am

it shows here...refresh your screen...

7:25 am

Yay!

7:25 am

missyme: you need to refresh the page with the refresh icon or hold down ctrl and press f5

7:26 am

I did refresh but for some reason it still takes time for the icons to show up. It might be my browser. I use Opera.

7:26 am

firefox works really well with babble MissyMe

7:27 am

Look...he's tickling her...or something?

7:27 am

heh, there... since that other icon seems to popular, ill let someone else fight over it + ill take this one. :)

7:28 am

*cries big tears* I had and wuved Firefox but something happened to it when I upgraded my spyware program. I could no longer use it even with removing and reloading it...I tried everything. I dislike IE so I switched to my second choice...Opera. I'm still getting used to it but its better than IE.

7:29 am

Gramma I prefer to think that he`s offering a drink.Alcoholic of course.Nobody sober would just stand in the snow!!!!

7:29 am

i might have a look at that. where can i download it from?

7:29 am

gramma I think one is holding a gun on the other. :) Not really a bad image for Christmas...they should have one of those display in front of every store.

7:29 am

Hey missy...do need some of that warm milk..especially hanging out with you because you've got fresh snow coming down! like your snowy guy!

7:32 am

just dropping in for a sec -- yesterday there was a question about easily finding words and phrases in French--here's a very handy website for translating into French and Spanish: www.wordreference.com--happy babbling, everyone!

7:32 am

Bobsta, Firefox or Opera? Either one you can put the names in your browsers and their sites will come up But here's Opera's download site: http://www.opera.com/ download/ Babs lol

7:33 am

thanks Uneaixoise!!

7:34 am

Missyme, I changed my icon. You may need to refresh to see it.

7:35 am

k

7:35 am

off to breakfast...back in a bit! :)

7:35 am

cya later :)

7:37 am

goodness, grama! they'll be melting quick, don't you think? lol ;)

7:38 am

Ill be back in a few minutes. I have to fix my son's lunch for work. :)

7:39 am

gramma...lol

7:39 am

What do you think? Tickling???

7:40 am

yeah, tickling, sure... ;)

7:41 am

See...there's still a little life in these old bones

7:41 am

Thanx MissyMe, i use firefox but i just wanted to have a look at opera.

7:43 am

Is that the result of the drink? They might melt, but what a way to go ;)

7:44 am

We all have to go somehow

7:45 am

MissyMe: looks quite good, i'll give it a try over the weekend, see how i get on with it. like you, i'm fed up with IE, just seems so slow.

7:46 am

What's your favorite word today that almost, but doesn't quite make on the grid? Mine is despot..

7:47 am

Gramma I hope she doesn`t feel pe8/50 by his actions!

7:49 am

Bobsta - is it easy to switch from IE to Firefox?

7:50 am

Macadam, since I don't have that word yet; I'm sure she doesn't. You've piqued my curiosity now. I must go looking.

7:50 am

Bobsta, my first choice is Firefox...but Opera is pretty good. It has a clean look and is easy to negogiate once you know your way around the program.

7:51 am

back!

7:51 am

Babs, mine is strop

7:52 am

very easy sherb, all you do is follow the intructions when you download firefox. when you get to the part where it asks you if you want firefox to be your default browser, click on no because you can access firefox by double clicking the icon on desktop. that way you don't mess up your IE settings.

7:52 am

yum yum, i'm eating tesco's finest strawberry and cream cheese cake!!!

7:53 am

cheese danish + a moutain dew livewire!

7:53 am

Gramma if she complains it will be because he is a pe4/5 who pe8/45 her.

7:53 am

thanks Bobsta :)

7:54 am

Ty macadam.

7:55 am

ahh, glad my favorite STDis in todays puzzle...hehe

7:56 am

macadam, I was looking for pen**. Couldn't find it and would have been hunting for it all day.

7:58 am

OOOps.No i in the grid thank goodness.

8:01 am

Why isn't perp a word? I watch tv and they use it all the time. " We've arrested the perp." or "We know who the perp is. We just need more evidence." Perp, blah blah blah...

8:02 am

perv isnt a word either...people keep calling me it...so I shouldnt take offense because it isnt a word...whoopie!!

8:03 am

lol

8:04 am

So why do they allow hospital abbreviations such as the one when surgeons get ready to do the op.That one is in today .

8:06 am

because the p that surgeons do is also a posh word for homework, at least thats what we called it when i waas at boarding school. stupid word anyway!!!!

8:07 am

morning ~~~ everyone

8:08 am

Sorry Bobsta if it brought back unpleasant memories.

8:08 am

macadam, I no doh. translated means " I don't know" . stolen from my friends' grand daughter.

8:08 am

Afternoon Judierae.

8:10 am

the worst thing was macadam was that we had to do it every night at 7.20. its not like we were at home to do it either!!! one good thing is that at that time top of the pops was on at 7.20 thursday so they let us do our P4/6 earlier so we could watch it!

8:10 am

New words new meanings.It keeps the language alive.

8:11 am

the first part of that post doesn't make much sense, shows how good boarding school was!!!

8:12 am

A friend of mine told me that if they hadn`t completed it in the allotted time extra time was added to the early morning run and he hated getting up earlier to run alone.

8:14 am

back

8:14 am

cute snowman missy! :)

8:15 am

Thankee sai, evanadine :)

8:16 am

we had the 'black mark' book, three entries in a week and you were gated (not allowed out at the weekend)..................I got to know that school pretty well. ;o)

8:17 am

I won`t ask which one.They might come looking for you .

8:17 am

i'm off, see ya

8:17 am

Bye Bubbles

8:17 am

8:19 am

8:22 am

8:57 am

8:58 am

8:58 am

True.He was flattered when I told him.

9:00 am

well i'm glad...my hubby couldnt believe i put him on here.. but then smiled when i told him lotti got to see him...he was sorry he missed her...but i told him she was pretty...

9:01 am

I have sooooo many cute pictures on film that needs to be developed... I'm pretty good about taking the pictures, horrible about getting them developed...

9:02 am

I have early $100.00 worth of pictures at the little photography shop in the small town where I used to live... I moved a year ago.... it's really quite sad...

9:02 am

jera i hear ya, i was really bad until i got a digital one, now it's so easy and i only have to print the ones i really really like...

9:02 am

jera -- love your faerie! very pretty! today is a choose-your-own icon day, though many of us have sorta made it unofficial snowman icon day...hehe

9:03 am

Maybe Santa will bring me one... nah... I haven't been that good! The kids are getting one of those mini camcorder things where you can be on tv... maybe they can do screen captures?? That would be precious...

9:04 am

ty evandine... hmmm... I love snowmen (hombre de nieve, I just learned it in Spanish from Gwyd's preschool)... maybe I can scare up a cute pic of one...

9:05 am

Maybe I'll catch up & scan a cute kid one... I have one of the kids but it's a bit old...

9:10 am

Okay... refresh for my cute kids!

9:10 am

very very cute jera

9:11 am

Sweet, jera

9:11 am

Why isn't sterno a word?

9:12 am

nice to see that someone else tried it, must be a slang

9:12 am

i know a lot of people at the University of Maryland who disagree with "terps" not being a word! ;)

9:13 am

No perv or perp, either... i think i watch too many cop shows...

Good morning everyone =o)

9:14 am

morning tsm

9:15 am

Mornin' TSM... lookin' good, girl!

baggo, hey :) jera, hi and thank you so much! =o)

9:16 am

looksl ike a vickies angel TSM. ;)

9:18 am

i also know some people down in the south who would disagree that "erster" isnt a word. haha. ;)

evan - it is an angel. Adriana Lima. One of my favorite models

9:18 am

Jera, those are some very cute kids!

9:18 am

evan, hot coffee on the screen makes for bad babble...lol

9:18 am

Evening all. Havn't played for a few days (hectic at work). What's been happening. Started todaty in a flurry of words, starting to dry up a bit now though. Still 169 to go!!

9:19 am

ty jen... you can look for them if we ever get together for that darn coffee, LOL

9:19 am

hah, took me a while to get that baggo. ;)

9:19 am

hello ishult...going well...now that i've cleaned coffee off the screen, when will iever learn not to read and drink at the same time on here....lol

9:19 am

Same here Ishult... good evening!

9:19 am

LOL. We'll get there someday... maybe before they all go off to college? ;)

9:20 am

Okay explain the erster thing to me... I thought I was southern (grew up in NC), but I don't get it... I wanna spit on my screen, too! ;D

9:21 am

is there a theme today or are some of you guys just feeling prematurely festive?

9:21 am

heh, i guess it depends on the region of the south...in some areas, "oyster" sounds more like "erster"

9:21 am

No official theme Ishult... I missed cute kids day so I am catching up...

9:22 am

lshutt, no theme, but a lot of us happened to choose snowmen, so we made it an unofficial theme...hehe

9:22 am

Ahhhh.. I get it, ty evanadine! I wonder about landlocked areas boasting about their fresh seafood...

9:23 am

my parents live in So MD and theres lotsa watermen down there -- nowhere gets better crabs!! but my parents favorite skipjack captain will tell you about all the different pronunciations of "erster"

9:23 am

Okay, so with the erster/oyster debate, I got this link from my MIL yesterday... to see if you's a yank! http://www.alphadictionary.com /articles/yankeetest.html

9:23 am

i have cousins in georgia a rural area and they came here and we had a low boil and they kept talkin about goin to savanah and havin ersters and we had no clue what they were talkin about, and they say we talk funny up north...hah

9:24 am

can't believe all the o words there are...haven't gone to brandy jack's tool, but thinking it best to work today and do errands instead of struggle with the last half of the words...will you keep my kitty company?

9:24 am

We are going to Georgia for Christmas (my husband's side of the family)... whereabouts was that?

9:24 am

i had a friend at camp when i was little who was from the lancaster PA area... one day she asked me to hand over her "tail" took her saying about 6 time and pointing before i realized she was saying "towel"

9:25 am

Jera, where in Georgia? We are headed to north Florida for the holidays.

9:25 am

I've copied & pasted bj's list, but haven't really looked at it yet... no pressure today as I have nothing to do until Sprite's fencing at 6

9:25 am

if you can't beat em......

9:25 am

Hey Jen, are you familiar with the ravensworth area? I will be there tonight...

9:26 am

cute lshutt!

9:26 am

Atlanta, Jen...

9:26 am

my BFs sister + her family live in georgia...Fort Benning

9:26 am

No, that's a new one on me Jera. Where is it?

9:26 am

they live in swainsboro

9:27 am

captain jack tells us there are oysters, ersters, aysters, arsters, ahsters...yet all seem to be the same thing!

9:29 am

well let me tell ya to get through the "th" words think bad english...and you'll get them all...

9:29 am

I think it's an area of Springfield past Kingspark/Kingstowne if that helps... anyway that'e where I am on Friday nights for Sprite's fencing lesson

9:31 am

Do you know Braddock Road, Jen? It runs through GMU some of the time...

9:32 am

i know of braddock road + im from MD...hehe...was at GMUs patriot center for a concert last week...

9:32 am

Hmm, I used to live in the Kingstowne area (subdiv. called Island Creek), but I don't remember that one. We have company coming tonight. Next Friday, my butt is planted first in line for a Sue Grafton book signing in McLean!!

Any hint on the 10 letter word.... or any of the 9 letter words lol :) stuck

9:34 am

St 10/77 starts out with something you play CDs/tapes/records on

evan! Thank yooooou!

9:35 am

and if you say opposite like your down south, you may be able to get the ending of that ten...

9:41 am

man, got quiet in here! hehe

9:44 am

i thought i may have offended...which i didn't mean to do at all...did find the en 8's and 2 en 9's think of another word for globe with 2 diff endings...to put in a globe

you know baggo, I just went to a wedding over by you :)

9:46 am

morning everyone!

9:47 am

where abouts tsm???

9:47 am

I got the thing you play records/CD's on but what from there

9:47 am

Didn't offend me baggo! :) I had suddenly realized I needed to do some banking transfers.

9:48 am

thanks jen, nice to know...

9:53 am

well off to be the lunch lady at school, back in a while..

9:56 am

Sorry i wandered off jen... trying to get December calendar printed off & I just got news of another addition... the fencing school is on Port Royal Road, off of braddock, right before 95, I can get you the exit number tonight if I remember to pay attention... it's an idea for future reference maybe...

9:57 am

Hi Efor

9:57 am

Really, evanadine? Maybe the three of us can get together... Jen is about a half hour from me & we have been trying to get toggether for coffee for awhile now...

9:59 am

its not on my "regular" route, but its a lot closer than england. ;)

9:59 am

Hmm, I know Braddock, but not Port Royal. Is Sprite just starting fencing? Sounds like a neat sport to take up! We are trying to figure out what to put Ethan in and when, but I am going to mostly in Florida for the 1st part of next year whilst hubby is gone.

10:00 am

The 3 of us should all meet in DC sometime!

Baggo - In indianapolis! :)

10:04 am

i work right next to chinatown! ;D

Evan - really!? I don't know my way around so well but if memory serves correctly, I was RIGHT by you! What a small world :)

Evan - lots of one way streets lol

10:11 am

I need to run to the store, ol' Mother Hubbard has nothing in her cupboard at the mo. See you guys later! :)

10:12 am

TSM -- where were you working? im in the GAO building, near the MCI center...

10:14 am

Why is "opress" not a word?

10:15 am

should be 2 Ps. got it.

10:15 am

cause it is OPPRESS

Evan - wasn't working there, it was for a wedding... but I swear I went right past you! lol :) I have been there a lot in the past. At least 2 times a year

evan - wait is that by the golf courses or more by like.... the hospital? (lordie having trouble remember the city lol =o)

10:22 am

hrmmm...no golf courses in the heart of DC that i know of!

Either way, I drove on washington street a lot! If I started to get lost I just went right back to washington.

10:28 am

washington street? not familiar...

Evan! OMG! I meant to say all that to baggo! (out of it)

LOL! I was talking about Indianapolis! I am SO sorry!

Evan, your post after my 10:00 was what got me confused... my bad :(

10:32 am

any clues for ov9?

10:34 am

haha...cities all kinda sound the same if you just go off of street names and areas lieke "chinatown" haha

Evan - it's true! :) again...sorry! Plebian - I only have the ov 7/40 and ov 8/60

10:36 am

plebian - pluralise ov8 what someone does to their bounds

vivi - thanks :)

10:37 am

Thnx, appreciate the help

10:37 am

YW

10:38 am

Hi all, thanx, vivyan..

10:43 am

Interesting -- I have 2 ov8/55 which are the plural of 2 ov7/40. Don't have an ov8/60. There are a couple of ov9's that the board won't accept, such as oversleep. Any more clues?

10:45 am

WEll duh! didn't mean oversleep -- no L yikes must be time to look at something else for awhile!

10:46 am

ov 8/60 - plant too much ov 8/60 - go beyond one's boundaries (not in a good way)

10:46 am

ahhh THANKS Got it!

Hi miyavi!

12:21 pm

12:21 pm

Hi Miy - how's it going?

12:21 pm

12:22 pm

GAH! Speaking of pictures, I forgot and left mine up! *rushes off to change icon*

12:23 pm

About the same as you , Miy -- was up WAY too late last night :)

12:23 pm

Hi miyavi

12:24 pm

Hehehe...love your icon, it's really striking :)

12:24 pm

miyavi look i'm you!!!!!

12:24 pm

Hey Macadam! How are you?

12:24 pm

Hi macadam! Hi sam!

12:24 pm

Wah! Baggo! I still don't know how that works! Or why I kept my pic as my icon o_O

hey greywoulf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:25 pm

Thanks, Miy - they said it looked like the D-Con Rat trap earlier

12:25 pm

i right clicked on you, and then pasted it to my edit i figured it out last night cause i was tryin to see how it happened yesterday...lol i'm off to change..

12:25 pm

Speaking of which, though...I'd better change mine. Everyone was asking me to put up a pic of myself yesterday, till I cracked and actually did. Then forgot to change it back

12:26 pm

Sam add the tiny things plants make that you can grow to ov4 also the word for what you can do with your eyes to ov4 as well

12:26 pm

you should keep your picture up cause it's totally you...where you on a poster or something what is the writing????

12:27 pm

It is a GREAT pic, Miy!

12:28 pm

No, my friend edited it for me on some graphics program she has...just put random writing down the side. I don't think either of us remember what the Japanese means :/

12:28 pm

Hi folks, movieman here... Could ne1 remind me about what today's icon theme is... 'Cos I really think mine needs updating...

sorry macadam can't get it.

12:28 pm

Oh Miyavi how could you .I thought we were together in the "no photo" club.What is worse,I missed it! :(

12:28 pm

Thanks, Woulf! *blushing*

movieman- I think it's christmas

12:29 pm

Mac, I cracked under the pressure :) I thought it'd be okay since it was pretty much only of my eye

12:29 pm

macadam i'm stillshowing her the red hair...keep it up for macadam miyavi...

12:29 pm

ov-- the moon and add what you can do with your eyes.

12:29 pm

Hey Movieman! I have no idea what the theme is

12:30 pm

movieman its your choice day....it's cold here so i went with abstract snow tires

12:30 pm

But, Miy, the eyes are the window to the soul --- and a very nice one at that! ;)

well wow - leave for a few and lookie who's here?

12:30 pm

Ok, thanks miyavi...I'll just choose a completely random image then...

12:30 pm

You didn't miss it Macadam, my icon at the moment is me *resisting urge to kill and eat all babblers since they have seen a picture of me* This doesn't leave the chat log! :)

12:31 pm

OOh Hello.Nice to see you.

12:31 pm

*big cheesy grin*

gotta go got to be god in a school play.

12:31 pm

macadam, now we see how truly beautiful we already knew that she was...

12:31 pm

Whoo! Go, Sam!

12:31 pm

nite speedfreak sam pleasant dreams

12:32 pm

any help for the En8, En9 or Er6? pls

good night, sam...

12:32 pm

*even more big cheesy grins* I'm making a habit of this...everyone should put a picture up of themselves! Stop me from sticking out

12:32 pm

True. I`m delighted to meet the real Miyavi.

12:32 pm

You'll be great, Sam! Have fun!!

12:33 pm

Mac, the real Miyavi is recording in Japan! ^_^

i have the eg 14 that is from the eg4/6...may i have help on the other one please?

12:33 pm

Sleep well Sam and be the star of the show.

bye goodbye oh now don't flatter me.... WHO AM I KIDDING! even the greatest of stars grow dim.

12:34 pm

Baggo and Miyavi -- Twins! How cute! How confusing! Greywoulf: Your icon does not really look like a rat. It was just one of those black space/white space perceptual riddle things. Once someone points out the vase or the two faces one begins to see it.

12:34 pm

en + ball 8/50 make it plural 9/66

12:34 pm

Awww, Sam! Just don't go taking over from Dr God, okay? :)

12:35 pm

For those who missed it yesterday and early this AM -- this image is of me and my daughter *refresh* (I'm the fuzzy one in back ;D )

12:35 pm

templeowl: to excrete from the body... if I an eating, I am ing????ing, so when I goto the bathroom, I am eg???ing

big grin.

who's docter god

12:36 pm

*refreshes* Oh, Woulf, what a cute picture!

12:36 pm

Dr God is the creator of Babble...the webmaster :)

12:37 pm

Thought you would like it, Miy :)

12:37 pm

Seeing as today is "any icons day", I've decided to go with Tony Jaa from Ong-Bak, one of my absolute favourite Asian movies.... (Kick-ass action)

12:37 pm

quite the looker gw :-)

oh bye!

ty walnutchen - an interesting word!

12:37 pm

Yup, thanks :) Takes the focus of my pic a bit! Though maybe for that I should lose the bright red hair :/

12:38 pm

me or the baby, baggo? :D

12:38 pm

She gorgeous and she has a beautiful name.

12:38 pm

both

12:39 pm

Hi everyone, I come today with cake for everyone

12:39 pm

wtg...happy birthday shroeder

12:39 pm

now I'm blushing *red flush creeps up face*

12:40 pm

Yummy, Schroeder, could I have ice-cream with mine... Pretty please with sugar on top...(the please, not the cake...) lol...

12:40 pm

Things have slowed down so much it`s a struggle so with 9 to go I may return later ( or not) Bye for now all of you.

12:41 pm

Oooh, Cake! Happy b-day, Schroeder :)

12:41 pm

Hey...bad penny back "again".... Miyavi, this is the real me, but like i told Baggo yesterday...it`s only staying on for a sec or two!!! Btw thats my dad with me :)

12:41 pm

Happy birthday, Schroeder! :D Later, Mac :)

12:41 pm

the face of the caring kind soul that we all know that you are. i was up yesterday for a bit... i will change when i come back in a bit...i am putting off leaving to take my son to the eye doctor as i know it won't be good news. i have about 10 more minutes before i have to leave and i wish it was 20

12:41 pm

Thanks, *adds ice cream to moviemans plate, chocolate okay*

12:42 pm

Happy birthday, Schroeder!!

12:42 pm

any clues for the 10 letter?

12:42 pm

Oh Lotti, you're gorgey and you know it! :)

12:42 pm

macadam -- still not getting the en8, still trying!!

12:43 pm

Oh, Baggo...good luck :(

12:43 pm

pbr think globe (another name for it) en globe

12:44 pm

macadam -- just figured it out -- your clue was great, once I looked! thx

Sorry been busy here... What'd I miss?

12:44 pm

thanks miyavi...but i know the path has already been set...just got to play the cards i've been handed

12:45 pm

how 'bout er6

pthomp, 10 letter starts with sound system equipment.

12:45 pm

No kidding Miyavi.....there are no mirrors in my house!!!! lol

12:45 pm

Lotti, there are too many mirrors in my house! Baggo, I'll pray for you :)

12:46 pm

Baggo - what's up with his eyes? (If I may ask)

12:47 pm

Lotti -- you are a very lovely woman, that was a great pic :)

12:47 pm

((((Baggo)))) Where you off????

12:47 pm

lotti! Put it back up. I barely saw it! What M_fan said: You're gorgey.

12:47 pm

er6 - figured it out after I tried a few s's

12:47 pm

lotti -- cute snowman! :D

12:48 pm

he stroked inside me and the stroke effected his eyes. he had a cataract removed from one eye at age one, the good eye developed a nasty one, and they removed it this past summer to only have his iris stick to the implant 2 weeks later. it is now sticking again, and they feel it is his body's way of rejecting it, and thus removal means instant blindness as he had no vision already out of the right. (sorry for the long post)

12:48 pm

Are you off now Baggo? Take care, will be thinking of you.

baggo thanks for the "en" clues... helped a ton!

12:49 pm

Miyavi, I know you're a massive fan of J-Rock, but are there any Japanese (or Asian for that that matter) movies that you really enjoy...? And that question is open to everyone else as well...

12:49 pm

Oh, Baggo, that's terrible! Best of luck with you

12:49 pm

Baggo -- very sorry to hear that (*hug*), our prayers are with you :)

12:49 pm

Stop trying to enlarge it for a better look babe!!!! Have you seen it now?? ((((((((((((xxxxx)))))))))))

12:49 pm

thank you all, it could be worse, it's just he is a huge nintendo freak, it's his whole life...

12:50 pm

Baggo you will be in my thoughts today..give the little one a hug from us (and you too)

12:50 pm

Hi all - haven't chatted or finished a grid for days now - too much to do, too little time! Grey Woulf you are EXACTLY as I pictured you!!! Lovely pic & gorgeous little one too! Have started the dreaded Christmas shopping UGH!!

12:50 pm

Movieman, to sound weird I quite like the cult horror films! Even though I can't watch most of them. The Ring was good...though scarring! But my alltime favourite Japanese movie (with, uh, no subtitles) is...Oresama :D

12:50 pm

Happy bday Schroeder. Baggo... my heart goes out to you.

12:51 pm

Hey Snowy! :)

12:51 pm

baggo...best of luck to you and your son...you'll be in all our prayers...

12:51 pm

Hi Snowy we missed you....

12:51 pm

OH Baggo - My thoughts are with you.

12:51 pm

((((babblers))))) thank you all so very much...i guess i better not put off the inevitable. i have ss's to finish...but they have to wait...

12:51 pm

Thank you, snowy -- have a hug for braving the sales (*hug*)

12:51 pm

Aww (((Baggo))) Keep your chin up babe! Why thankyou GW :)

12:51 pm

just an fyi....parenting is no fun at the moment...

12:52 pm

in the words of torgone and lotti...."poof"

12:52 pm

(*hug for lotti*) ((((*BIG HUG for Baggo*))))

12:53 pm

hi y'all - any hints on en/?s

12:53 pm

Oh baggo! You're in my prayers. No words..

12:54 pm

Ah, Snowy, I was shopping with friends today! Since we were all on sugar highs, it was the usual things - skipping around the shopping centre giggling, trying on massive hats, and telling random people we loved them o_O Bit of sugar and we're like loons on loon tablets

12:54 pm

Thanks Darleen!!!

12:55 pm

Miyavi...I quite liked the Ring as well, but if I had to narrow my choices of Asias films down to about 3, I would have to go with Ong-Bak, The Eye (excellent special effects and quite spooky to boot!) and Crouching Tiger...

12:55 pm

Oh I need that hug Grey Woulf - thank you - its nice to be back, I have missed all the chat.

12:55 pm

"loons on loon tablets", I haven't heard that one before Miyavi...lol

12:56 pm

hello one and all, hooray it's friday. Snowy nice to see you again - notice I've upgraded, I'm a pro. How are all the children?

12:56 pm

Shouts *Torgone* was it that bad!!!!! Or are you trying to copy and paste it !!!! LOL

12:56 pm

Ahhh...my favourite one is only Oresama because my favourite singer (Miyavi...man, did you guess) is the main character...I can't understand much of it though. I think he may have gone back in time at some point :/

12:56 pm

movieman & Miy -- the Ring was the first movie to truly scare me in years -- I have been told that Ringu, the original is evener creepier, but I am almost afraid to find out for myself ;D

12:56 pm

Music-wise, I am currently listening to a large selection of 80s and 90s rock tunes that I've saved onto my hard-drive...

12:57 pm

Trotters congrats on going pro :)

12:57 pm

LOL Miyavi - perhaps I should try that! Spent the last hour with my 27 year old daughter buying clothes for a teaching job interview - and dreadful tho' it is I am definately turning into my mother! Just couldn't help giving her (good?) advice. -We are speaking again now tho!!!!

12:57 pm

Hi Trotters, congrats on the upgrade!!

12:58 pm

Sorry, just remembered I should be a snowman (done over 200 words at work today, please don't tell on me)

12:58 pm

Sorry Schroeder...kind of ran out of description to use! Woulf, Ringu was the version I saw! Saw it about a year ago, still jump at small noises and can't go near wells.

12:58 pm

I missed Lotti. Missed you lotti, but maybe not, maybe you are a snowman. And who is torgone today? So many story lines; writing screenplay of log is going to be tough...

12:58 pm

baggo, just dropped in to check on things and saw your post--I'm so very sorry and send you buckets of good wishes!

12:58 pm

Congrats - Trotters! Welcome to the club!!! lol The children are all fine AND

12:58 pm

Welcome to the pro circle, Trotters!

12:58 pm

wow snowyowl - My parents kicked me out of the house by the age of 27 and told me I am on my own... *sigh*

12:59 pm

Trotters...congrats on going Pro...now all you need to do is Babble using Firefox and you're set...

12:59 pm

GW, my brother saw the original and said it scared the poop out of him!

12:59 pm

Kind of loses the detail when you blow it up poster size . . .

12:59 pm

Hey Mab...Tor is Max Headroom, the sexy rubber guy!!!! :)

12:59 pm

Lol Snowy! You want to make a shopping trip eventful, try telling a gang of very bemused looking Japanese guys (we also went to Oriental City...yum ^_^) that you're in love with them. I think they were quite scared

12:59 pm

I've got megga broadband, what's the plus with firefox?

12:59 pm

Hi guys

1:00 pm

OOPs sent the message before I finished! The children are all fine and with their parents for a change! 1st lie-in for an age tomorrow!

1:00 pm

That's pretty much what my friends said, Schroeder!

1:00 pm

LOL Tor...... you`re not supposed to wallpaper your room with it ;o) !!!!!

1:00 pm

Hi Yoink

1:00 pm

But if ne of U want to see a REALLY gross movie, I suggest U try Ichi the KIller... Just about anything goes in that one...it's like a REALLY REALLY hardcore WWE match...lol

1:01 pm

Hey Movieman, I have that on DVD

1:01 pm

Walnutchen -she left home 6 years ago, is married and has 2 littlies!! This was MEANT to be fun!LOL

1:01 pm

Snowy, I don't believe you'll lie in, you'll be up and babbling!

1:01 pm

Hi Yoink :)

1:02 pm

Arrrgh...speaking of Ringu, though, the Dir en Grey PV I'm watching now is bringing back, er, quite painful memories of that film. The warning before the PV though..."contains scenes of violence, blood/injury, insanity and alarming clothing/hair/makeup/general appearance"

1:03 pm

I'm not into gross, movieman -- that is what I consider to be the failing of most horror movies today... Too many of them rely on the splatter factor to win the viewer -- the Ring legitimately creeped me out because of the story, not the special effects

1:03 pm

ha! Snowyowl... sorry. thats what happens when you only read part of the conversation! hehehe. I left home 4 yrs ago and now have one on the way.

1:03 pm

tttttttooooorrr ggggonnn! Love the icon

1:04 pm

Yeah...the story of psychic Japanese girls creeping out of wells *shudders* I read the book of Ring, though, it's pretty good. Explains a lot you don't get in the film

1:04 pm

Miyavi, they actually have a warning before it, I must see these videos I hear you talking about...

1:04 pm

Eeewww I`ve heard enough!!! Right i`m going, see you later guys and girls :) (((((((((XXxxxxxxxxxxXX))) ))))))) Torgone, see ya hun xxxxx

1:05 pm

GreyWoulf...I'm not normally into gross special effects either, in fact one of my favoute horror movies is the Others, the movie Nicole Kidman should have been nominated for an Oscar for instead of Moulin Rouge...all that singing and dancing...yuck!!!

1:05 pm

oops...add "hardcore drug use" to the list of warnings for the PV :/

1:05 pm

Congrats walnutchen!

how many words today? i'm currently at 60 words, 799 pts

1:05 pm

lotti - catch you later! (*hug*)

1:06 pm

311, mark

1:06 pm

Schroeder, you, uh, really don't want to. The one I'm watching at the moment, Myaku, isn't one of their worst (thank god) but they stretch to very extreme imagery in their PVs.

1:06 pm

Bye Lotti :)

1:06 pm

See you Lotti

and i thought i was doing well....<sigh>

1:06 pm

((hugs)) GW, K and K :)

1:07 pm

(((((lotti)))))))) Heya Darleen!

1:07 pm

mark - you are doing better than those who have been scared of by the monster, so take heart in your accomplishment! :)

1:07 pm

thanks snowyowl!

1:07 pm

hey back atcha torgone. I didn't know there were any other Max Headroom fans around. :-)

1:07 pm

hello, everybody! happy friday! I guess that I need to change my icon.

thx

1:08 pm

Only if you want to ruff

1:08 pm

Bye Lotti, and by default, Torgone. Note to self: study popular culture. I don't know anything about any of these movies, and I don't know who Max Headroom is, never heard J-rock.... I'm going to Anj's music site.

1:08 pm

are you kidding? I love Max Headroom!

1:08 pm

Hiya Ruff!!

1:08 pm

S teki, s teki, s teki...the people who made Ringu are s teki!

1:09 pm

Don't worry Mab, j-rock isn't exactly popular culture. BUT...to all the American babblers, you lucky, lucky people. Dir en Grey are coming to you! *sulks*

1:10 pm

hey Une ... ah another fan! Too cool!

1:11 pm

imagination, humor, mystery . . . who could resist?!

1:12 pm

And I've never heard of Snowy Owl not having littles with her. Wow, Snowy, rare freedom. Enjoy (although I know you enjoy your littlies too). Going now to expand my horizons.

1:12 pm

Hi folks! Seems hard to believe, but between Thanksgiving, a monster of project at work, and sick kids, I haven't Babbled in over a week!!! *withdrawl symptoms setting in!!*

1:12 pm

Ah, all this talk of Ringu and Dir en Grey makes me need a comforting cup of tea... will, er, one of you come with me? I'm scared!

1:12 pm

Hey all!!!! Whassssuppp????? At first glance, looks like a monster.... dare I even begin?

1:12 pm

*logs on to see where Dir en Grey is playing in states*

1:13 pm

Of course you dare, Mama --it's only 311!

1:13 pm

Hey Mamabear :) Give it a whirl, if you don't finish it, so what?

1:14 pm

only 311...*faint*

1:14 pm

Enjoy your explorations, mab :)

1:14 pm

Schroeder, not sure if they're touring anymore...but their albums should soon be available in the bigger music stores. The titles of the albums may kinda scare some people off though...English titles include Macabre, Vulgar, Six Ugly and Withering to Death!

why is "storer" NOT a word? =one who store...

1:14 pm

ONLY 311??????? Hey, what brings you around during the day GW?? Off today???? I'm on lunch.... usually like to peek in for a few min and see what's going on. Is that YOU in the pic????

1:15 pm

Okay, Woulf, if you're so tough you can be the one coming downstairs with me while I make a cup of tea! ...All this talk of the Ring, I'm too scared to go alone :D

1:15 pm

Mamabear!!!! How are you?

1:15 pm

My icon pic looks weird..... can anyone figure out it's a polar bear lying on his back with his legs up in the air??? The pictures get so obscured when transferred to icon sometimes...

1:15 pm

Mama - yes, I am off and taking a short babble break before going out to hunt for a second job to pay the bills And yes, that's me in back of the cutie that is my daughter :)

hey mama!!!!! *hug*

1:16 pm

Good luck, Woulf :)

1:16 pm

I'm sorru, Miy - I should have vounteered immediately -- *offers arm* Come let us brave the stairs together ;)

1:17 pm

Hi Temple!!! Hi Schroeder - doing ok I guess, how are you? GW - I see who she takes after *wink*

1:17 pm

Good luck Grey Woulf- hello to all who have joines us and bye to all that have left.

1:17 pm

*grabs Woulf's hand and clings on tightly* okay, just don't leave me alone when we get to the bottom!

1:18 pm

Thank you, Miy & snowy -- I can use all the good thoughts I can get right now -- this season is the hardest to find a long term parttime position in :(

1:19 pm

I'll do a lot of positive thinking then Grey Woulf!

1:19 pm

Mama - she is actually the spitting image of her Great Grandmother on her mom's side at that age -- except with curly hair :)

1:20 pm

Me too, Snowy...I'll even stop translating the song lyrics I'm doing now, they'll put negative thoughts in my head! :D

1:22 pm

good luck in your job searching, GW!!!

1:22 pm

small victory celebration time! closed out D's and N's without clues or the 2nd letter list :) only 15 words total - but I takes 'em where I can gets 'em ;D

1:22 pm

OK... let me take a look at this monster..... 311 words and no A????? interesting.....

1:23 pm

Oooh...specially since the song I'm translating isn't exactly peachy :/ A sample being: "sour marinee prepared with blood, rotting strawberries inside of that, won't you try the soup of sexual desire?" o_O

1:23 pm

don't know where to begin.... *biting nails*

1:23 pm

Yay Woulf! Looks like I did choose a brave man to help me down the stairs then! :D

1:24 pm

And now I must go out into the cold and job hunt.... Everyone have a great day and I will see whomever later :) (*Hugs for everyone*) Mama - start with the ov's ;) (*Extra hug for MAMABEAR*)

1:24 pm

OK. got the eo 4/4..... that's ONE!!! I guess I'm committed NOW!! *maybe I SHOULD be committed* LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

1:25 pm

LOl GRey Woulf! Miy - I don't know how you sleep at night! MAMA you just have to go for it! - If you find the 203 words I'm missing give me a shout!!!

2:32 pm

no4/4: not the yeses but the no**

gwenski, thanks. If I never see a ve word it will be too soon. I'm clear of them now. I probably need to check my blood pressure...

Night Cath - speak to you tomorrow - send my love to the Ma's

4:21 pm

Nite Cathb!

4:21 pm

I've had a little break, and am now working backwards to try and meet somewhere in the middle..

Sherry, whats it like in France today? :) One day I want to move to southern france.... drink some awesome champers lol :)

4:22 pm

Oh cute icon Karys!

4:23 pm

TCM....we trying to book a holiday place in Montagnac for this coming July

4:23 pm

Sorry everyone, I made a boo-boo with my earlier post, I meant the re7/44...

4:23 pm

hi snowy ty :)

4:24 pm

TSM: if you really mean to move to southern France, forget Marseilles and the Riviera (though I've been told that Aix-en-Provence is nice). Come to Toulouse! http://www.mairie-toulouse.fr

Ooooh sherry! :) wonderful!

But by the time I get there you will leave for Ireland! *pouts* :P

4:25 pm

Karys: just checked Montagnac. I didn't know that place though I know Herault a little...good wine.

4:25 pm

We plan to move to France in a couple of years Sherry....looked around the Bergerac area last year

4:26 pm

TSM: lol! I'm not gone yet! Not enough money!

4:26 pm

sounds about right for us then Sherry !!!!

4:27 pm

Karys: that's cool! Many English people move in the boredelais, it's a nice region.

4:29 pm

we liked the little Bastide towns around there....but we thought we would like to look over on the east side too

4:31 pm

Hello all! Speaking of that area of France. I spent a couple of weeks in Monpazier ( hence...my babble name) a while back and am very fond of that area.

4:31 pm

Karys: my sister's husband is from Frejus, close to Cannes. My sister enjoys going on holiday there. It's always sunny! If you like heat...but Alpes Provencales are beautiful.

4:32 pm

we obviously went to Montpazier...one of my favourite parts !!!!

4:32 pm

HI Monpazier! I heard about that village, sorta medieval. I haven't been there but I visited Sarlat.

4:33 pm

thats just it Sherry...don't want it to be too hot but then want better weather than here !!!

4:34 pm

I have been trying to get the Ne 6/18 -- clues? thx

4:34 pm

ooooo......making me all nostalgic now !!!!

hi all - have been babbling away...karys, i just have to say i cannot look at your icon without smiling!

4:34 pm

Yes, Sarlat is wonderful too. Monpazier is a bastide ( walled village)....much smaller than Sarlat. The people were very friendly to the 4 American ladies who adopted their town for a holiday.

4:34 pm

Karys: lol! and I want to move to Ireland and get more rain because I'm fed up of southern France summers!

4:35 pm

ne 6/18 looks like a gathering of Loch monsters

4:35 pm

thats nice Temple....good to make someone smile :)

4:35 pm

LOL....Sherry

4:36 pm

Anyone have the SE 6/21

4:36 pm

we found everyone very friendly....we stayed in Villareal

4:37 pm

7:06 pm

Temple Owl - to try to stop someone doing something. A burglar alarm is a de****ent

7:08 pm

I'm A LOT older than you Yoink and my liver has had more than it's fair share of alcohol! I am coming to the conclusion that we all have a quota - and I'd drunk all mine by about 1988!!!!

thanks snowy! i must hide the log now to speed up entry - bbl nonny u r ok?

7:10 pm

yw Temple

7:10 pm

Ahh, but you still love a V & T, your profile says so :-D

7:11 pm

Could ne1 possibly help a really, REALLY desperate fellow Babbler by giving him cluez in the form of definitions (if possible) 4 all the pr7s and pr8s...? I will be forever in your debt...

7:12 pm

"You have 0 word(s) left to find" - some of the best words ever!

7:12 pm

7:13 pm

yoink and speedfreak -- finally got - phew that took time, one to the Pr..s thx

7:14 pm

Congrats Atalante!!!!!!

movieman, i only have one pr 7, which is a plural of a pr 6... the radio stations on your car stereo

7:15 pm

atalante - congrats...I only wish I had finished too...still need 100 more...

7:16 pm

LOL Yoink - I didn't say I don't like to drink - I just have to pick my time LOL!!!!

snowy - you are up so late! good night - i'm out of here for a while...

7:17 pm

Glad to have some company movieman I have 115 left to find

7:17 pm

good luck, movieman! this one is really a stinker! too many e's and t's and r's and s's and combination of every which way round

7:18 pm

speedfreak - are you starting to get the "can't be bothered to finish" feeling yet... I know I am...

7:18 pm

movieman - do you have the pr5 that sounds as if you had ironed something? if so add the ending to make the word the person who does it and then make it plural

7:20 pm

I've still got 104 to go, so won't be completeing yet another one! Will have 10 mins more then go to bed!

7:21 pm

I know what you mean Snowy, for me I will only drink during hours that end with the suffix o'clock

7:22 pm

hi everyone .. quite a challenging one today, huh?

7:23 pm

Hi Cathy = It's a 'need all day' sort of grid - and i haven't had all day! LOL

7:23 pm

Hi cathy, sure is a stinker

7:24 pm

Found the st/10 with the help of a to z. Do the st8 and st9 start the same way.

7:24 pm

sorry Peri -I have the 10 but not the 8 or 9!

7:27 pm

I agree .. I've been on and off for quite some time I can help with the st 8 & 9, though. they're not the same as the 10. st 8 -- children by marriage (pl of st 7) st 9 -- being very firm in one's manner hope that helps!

7:30 pm

Cathy, thanks, found the st8 but still working on the st9

7:30 pm

I should have said "male children" by marriage in my clue, might have helped even more :)

7:31 pm

TY for the 8 Cathy - can't see the9 yet

7:34 pm

peri & snowy -- for the st 9, builds off the st 5 10 just before it, if that helps.

7:38 pm

TY Cathy I got the clue - just can't make the word! LOL

7:40 pm

Cathy Does the st9 start with the boom box st6? I can't see the 9 either

7:40 pm

GOT it!!!! TY Cathy!

7:41 pm

snowy, did you find the st9 yet. It is in a-z. There is a double consonant in the middle and at the end.

7:41 pm

sorry guys ... I'm not a very good clue-giver ! Let me try this -- a state of being good is called goodn***, and a state of being rigid is called rigidn***. so a state of being st*** is called st*******.

7:41 pm

thanks Cathy, found the st9

7:41 pm

spped no It sounds like a part of a ship or being very strict and ends like the scottish monster!

7:41 pm

yeah, glad you got it. I need to improve upon my clue-giving :)

7:43 pm

Duh! Another thwap w/the fish for me!! Thank you all was not doubling the consonent (i work at a school-don't tell anyone)

7:43 pm

I think the clue was good Cathy cos it got me to the right direction - I'm really tired and was looking for the easy ways out and trying to add lots of es rs and ss!

7:43 pm

see, now why didn't I think of the Scottish monster thing? that's a good one, snowy ... guess you're closer to Scotland than I am, right? :) :) :)

7:44 pm

Just a little Cathy LOL!

7:44 pm

Can't find the ov9, have three ov8 though. help please

7:44 pm

know what you mean about those es rs, and ss. that's what I find I miss so often, and this one's really full of them !!!

peri - St 9/78 is plural from the 8 above it...

7:45 pm

peri -- your ov 9 is plural of the ov 8/60, if you have that one

7:46 pm

may I have a clue for the es8

7:47 pm

OK - wish I could stay but it's cleaning the church and my 3rd Christmas fayre this week,tomorrow! Only attending not working . It's also the 1st day this week with no grandchildren so I'm going to get a goodnights' sleep and with a little luck - a lie in - BLISS!

7:47 pm

Cathy, is there more than one ov8/60. The one I have can't be made plural.

7:47 pm

'gnite Snowyowl: Thank you for all your help and hope you have sweet dreams:))

ov 4/7 + st 4/5 = ov 8/60 ov 9/78 - plural of ov 8/60

7:48 pm

peri yes there is two...

7:49 pm

man I HATE those compound words!

7:49 pm

g'nite snowy ... sweet dreams peri - I see someone else provided a hint for you, so let me know if you need anything else

7:50 pm

Now, one or two of U may get the impression that I'm being as yellow as a bowl of custard, but it is now nearly 2.00am on Saturday morning (that's UK time of course) and I still need well over 50 words. So in all probability, I think I should call it a day... Goodnight y'all........!!!!!!!

7:50 pm

KRISTINAROSE, Thanks, found the ov8 and 9 I was looking for.

No Problem...

7:51 pm

movieman: get some sleep there will be another puzzle to tackle tomorrow.. Sweet Dreams!!

7:51 pm

movieman -- you've earned a good night's sleep ... It's not even 9 pm here, and I'm fading fast :)

7:51 pm

Still need 162 words, not sure if I will finish. Will play a little while longer.

7:53 pm

I have the pr/7 that has to do with radio stations. Are the pr8's similar to that one

The first pr 8/45 is built off the pr 5/12.. if you have the pr 7/32 then pluralize it for the 8

7:59 pm

I have one pr7 and pr8 left --??

pr 7/40 - career is promoted by an influential person pr 8/55 - plural

8:00 pm

peri - one of the pr 7 and 8's builds off of a pr 5 that means to give or loan something. (one of those er/ers things). the other pr 8 is plural of a pr 7 that means someone you might mentor or teach that shows great promise.

8:02 pm

cathi -- thx -- I am trying to get through the Re and Ro's before I go home.

8:03 pm

pbr - I hate those re's, don't you. Those and the un's usually drive me batty :)

8:03 pm

I'm giving it up with 94 left. Tiredness wins this time, I'll have to come equipped with red bull next time

8:04 pm

Goodnight Yoink Have Pleasant Dreams..see you tomorrow...

8:04 pm

Yoink, have a great night! Let's hope Dr God spares us with a little easier one tomorrow! :)

8:04 pm

Cathy, found the pr8 that built on the word: to loan, still working on the one re, mentor

8:06 pm

peri -- think "a child pr***** ... that phrase is used quite often. might help :)

8:06 pm

Thanks Speedfreak, and Cathy, at 2am there's not really any night to speak of here! ;-)

8:08 pm

Cathy, thanks again. got the pr word re mentor, Was looking in the wrong direction in the grid.

8:09 pm

Now need help with re8 and re9

8:10 pm

when I answer you, I'm giving you my re******. then plural for the re 9

8:12 pm

Cathy, thanks again. found the re8 and 8. May I have help for the es8 please

8:17 pm

peri -- sorry, my pc froze up and had to reboot. The es8 is one I have no idea what it really means ... so, here goes ... add consonant to es that would be same as the two words right in front of the es8, + the ov 5/16 that's opposite of "unders"

8:20 pm

Can you please help me with the 10? Thanks...

8:22 pm

Cathy, thanks yet again, found the es8

8:24 pm

JW -- the st 10 means a capacity for depth perception, but starts out sounding like the musical word for dual sound. I used a2z to find it.

8:24 pm

yw ... now if you can figure out what it means, let me know :)

8:24 pm

Thanks Cathy

8:26 pm

FINISHED! Boy, I'm exhausted after that one! Think I'll go do some Christmas cards, but if there's any last clues I can provide, let me know.

8:34 pm

ok, don't see any questions coming in, so I'm off for the night. good night, all

8:35 pm

Night, Cathy, thanks so much for your help, sweet dreams

8:42 pm

8:57 pm

GW was the little one teething ??/ Jaqula hope you are feeling better....

8:59 pm

Hi MAMA -- (*hug*) Blaze - No, she just had a cold -- the severely fluctuating temps here in PA rook their toll on her. she had a temp two days ago and was cranky and cuddly, but it broke yesterday and today she was back to her normal hyper self

9:00 pm

GW, my daughter did the same thing as a baby--was usually a wild woman but when she was sick she was sooo cuddly!

9:02 pm

Une - isn't the the most tragic combination of adorable and sad imaginable?

9:02 pm

Doesn't look like anyone needs any clues, so I'm off to other pursuits until the flip -- see you later!

9:02 pm

totally!

9:03 pm

Enjoy, c-nan -- IF i need clue, there is usually someone here to help, but I have too many to know what I need at this time :)

9:15 pm

ROFL, Mama!

9:16 pm

OOPS... correction... I have a whopping 24!!! And with that I'm leaving this place. If I still have any energy, I will be back on when I get home..... see ya!

9:19 pm

9:19 pm

Hi all have been away too long ... any clues or hints for st 10/77?

9:20 pm

mama NO keep them guessing...LOL

9:20 pm

The picture I have is so adorable, but when it is so small in the icon, it loses something...

9:21 pm

hi Lucky!!!! Welcome back!

9:21 pm

MAMA -- it's up to you, since the head is down in the corner next to the left paw, it takes a bit to get the perspective right, then it jumps out at you :)

9:22 pm

lucky st-10 build from st 7/28 the st 10 is the word before but use base word.... + memory la****....

9:22 pm

I'll be here (*Big Hug for warmth*) It's freezing outside!

9:24 pm

Yes it is..... I wish someone were here to go warm up my car...... but I think I'm the only person left in this whole 4 story building!!!!

9:25 pm

EB - join my crazy club!! I only have 24 words left. I'm waiting until 9:30 to "clock out" and then I'm leaving work... will pick it up at home if nobody is on the computer... if they are I will REBOOT them off!!!!

9:26 pm

EB - I meant I only have 24 words FOUND!!!! Big difference. No, GW, it doesn't bother me at all.... just when the heating vents creek and crackle in the ceiling - that's annoying.

9:27 pm

Hi Mamabear!!

9:27 pm

Safe travels, MAMA

9:29 pm

Hi Blaze thanks... this will keep me thinking for a while for I do not yet have the words st10 is built on ...

9:30 pm

Babs and Lucky - start with the St word that means twin speakers and build off that.

9:30 pm

9:31 pm

Hi Lucky, EB, Dianne -- been busy writing a letter, saw you all pop in but was distracted :)

Woulfie - no problem...I'm knee-deep in this puzzle...on a roll with words (since I just started!!)...

9:37 pm

Oh boy, Kirsten is watching George Carlin on HBO from 1978, the bit where he is expanding on the list of words you can't say in TV

9:37 pm

10:04 pm

Heya GW! digit - click on Babblers Anonymous link to the right. Under General, you'll find stats for the puzzle.

10:05 pm

lucky... then what you would write after you write your name on a letter, then make it plural (with two letters)

10:06 pm

Lucky - Google this:"A brief outline or general view, as of a subject or written work; an abstract or a summary" for the end of the word - almost - change one letter.

10:06 pm

Lucky - take the st7, insert p before the last letter then make it a plural -- as an 8 it is not valid

10:11 pm

lucky Medically, when you make "sis" plural you change it to "ses Not sure if this was where you were confused.

10:11 pm

thanks eastern blue

10:13 pm

Thnks a mil!! st10 biggie in the bag!

Good luck. Headquarters
