New puzzle!

12:00 am

Pfui!!! Missed by 3!!!

12:01 am

sry, i thought that puzzle was esp. difficult

12:01 am

Looks like a big one!

12:01 am

harpjane, looks like you dressed up today

12:02 am

Glad you noticed!

12:03 am

gettin' with the theme!

12:03 am

uh oh, it's a doozy, folks

12:04 am

'S OK, mlaurel -- it's about the joy of the hunt, not the finish --- besides, if I had been able to log on 15 mins earlier I would have finished ;)

12:04 am

325 words!!!!! Thankfully I am off work tomorrow ;D

12:08 am

:) it's like a bigger boggle without the noise. :) i'm having a difficult time because my cats are on my desk and one is on the mouse

12:09 am

Don't know if I have time for this with all the Christmas hoopla starting up!

12:09 am

LOL -- mine likes to lie across my wrist :D

12:13 am

they think they are helping. :) when i'm on the laptop, they try to lay across the keyboard and the biggest one is 17 pounds so he's quite large

12:15 am

I have three -- one is 20, the next is about 18 and the last is prob 14 (pounds, that is) -- the 18 also thinks she is still small enough to be a shoulder percher

12:16 am

i see LSU's included . . . Geaux tigers . . . heh heh heh

12:16 am

brb -- time to rub wifey's back Hi, C-nan!

12:16 am

lol! i have 4 cats, 17lbs, 15, 13 & 11. thankfully, they are not shoulder perchers.

12:21 am

Hi everyone.

12:22 am

Hello! Very late today. Ooops! Aww GW - just three? :/

12:23 am

G9/72 G10/91

Hello all :)

12:25 am

HI :)

12:25 am

putting my 2 cents in regarding my children. 4 cats. biggest CoCo...solid white boy with big blue eyes coming in at a whopping 21.8 then Chandler, Alex, and Mocha and finally a cocker spaniel named Chance.

12:25 am

And I am back! Yes, zubie -- only three -- and two of them were not planned -- Twitch is the mom and we got here when she was just 6 weeks old. She's a magpie (b&w with no specific pattern). My housemate got a orange tabby a few months later and well -- since niether was fixed...

12:26 am

jenwould - CoCo sounds gorgeous, though pudgy :)

12:27 am

jenwould, i bet they are adorable! I wish my cats were larger although everyone tells me that they are too big. lol

12:28 am

GW - You're confusing me. Did you mention 'three' in two contexts? I saw you say: " Pfui!!! Missed by 3!!!" What do you mean by 'two were not planned'? Just got in a few minutes ago.

12:29 am

mlaureli... yes all cuties all have wonderfully distinct personalities. The biggest is also our biggest chicken. Cats are great. Oh and the cocker isn't so bad either. The oldest is 12 youngest 8...

12:29 am

Hi gw

12:29 am

GreyWoulf, my biggest cats name is Pudgie. He was tiny when we got him, but he ate so much he looked like he had swallowed a baseball, so we called him Pudge. :)

12:30 am

Cats! *lightbulb moment* :D

12:30 am

zubie -- missed the last board by 3 -- got started very late tonight and the two that were not planned are my other two cats, Meeper and Creeper -- who are both lovely torties

12:33 am

LOL, zubie mlaurel - Twitch got her name because her tail has a white flag at the end (black tip, 3" white band, then black again) and she expresses her emotions by twitching her tail, making the flag bounce

12:34 am

that is great. I love animals, such personality.

12:35 am

Cute cats :D GW - nice names, too! :D

12:35 am

GW.. I've got a tortie too. The only princess of the animals, Mocha. I like everyone's pet names... very cute.

updated my icon but can anyone tell who it is?

12:36 am

zubie - I'll include pics when I send you the snow pics ;) BTW, last nights snow is already gone, but we have more coming tomorrow

12:37 am

Hi Toes! Looks like Marilyn Monroe, but so tiny.

Mab! Hurray!!! Yes, it is Miss Monroe!

12:40 am

I just have Toby the cat. He's 7 and about 15 lbs. He's a good boy. He like ice cubes.

12:40 am

I love pictures of Marilyn. There is such a poignant quality to many of them, something heartbreaking.

Mab, I do agree. Monroe as well as Hepburn and a few others will always have those classic pictures and that classic look as well

12:43 am

Hooray! Thanks, GW! Gone? :s 88 words. I'd feel happy except that I am thinking that the only reason why I got so many so fast is because the grid is huge. I'm even afraid to ask how many words today!

12:43 am

I think I might pay money to look like Audrey Hepburn. She was exquisite.

12:43 am

325

12:44 am

What I love about pets is what they end up using as toys -- some cats use icecubes, my go crazy chasing the rings from gallons of milk, -- anyone who says that pets are useless has never truly observed them and their personalities

12:44 am

gw, my cat adores milk cap tops... every time we pull out the sofa bed there's like 100 under there (same with the fridge)

Hepburn even had perfect skin! Although I hear her accent was completely fake and she also had some sort of eating disorder. But Lord was she beautiful!

12:45 am

exactly, LeslieAnn! --LOL

That high profile will drive you batty I am sure. Not even a movie out would be without pictures

12:48 am

325??! Thanks, Une. Yikes!

Alright all. Off to bed. Work tomorrow bright and early! :) Good luck with the puzzle!

12:48 am

I expect so -- fame can be burden, it would be difficult to not be neurotic. Constantly scrutinized.

12:48 am

GW Toby loves those rings and twist ties. One day I bought him a stuffed baby toy at the dollar store and he reached up and got it and took off. I wondered how he knew it was for him to just take off with it like that. Stinker.

12:48 am

Morning all...

12:48 am

Sleep Well, Toe!

12:49 am

Night Toes (you're in the puzzle). Sleep well.

12:49 am

Hey Debs -- another monster today :)

12:49 am

Morning Ice... see you found the biggies already...lol

lol :) yes I saw that... night!

12:49 am

Aww I aint a monster wolfie...lol

12:50 am

lol, Debs - you know I meant the grid ;D

12:51 am

I knowwwwwwww.... well I am a 3ft 2" 20stone and sit on church roofs for a living so I wouldn't have been that offended..lol

12:54 am

how many words today please

12:54 am

a/9 60

12:54 am

big ol' 325, shorty

12:54 am

shorty...325

12:55 am

WOW..... thank you

12:55 am

lots ans lots ans lotsssssssssssss....325 <faint>

12:55 am

Hi shorty

12:55 am

But big words are easy...

12:55 am

Hi GW

12:58 am

Yucky grid. :D

1:15 am

Knock knock! Anyone out there?

1:16 am

Hey zubie...here, but not for long. Just trying to get 100 so tomorrow won't drive me crazy...

1:16 am

I'm here, just sucked into the hunt... and utterly amazed and annoyed that with 155 words found already I haven't found anything with more than 6 letters!

1:18 am

There's a c7 I've found, GW. Hi Norad.

s 7/28 want a clue let me know

1:20 am

i would love a clue!

1:20 am

me too GW, just hit 100 and nothing over 6...clue for the c7 zubie? Hello spatialbean, I'd love that s7 clue too.

1:20 am

found a 9/60..felt pretty good, i never find the big words!

1:20 am

Glad to know I am not alone, Norad :)

1:21 am

Good job, nava!

1:22 am

thanks, actually, my husband found it, we are dong the puzzle together tonight. but still...it's awesome!

1:22 am

10/91 is a plural nava

1:22 am

nava - it still counts :)

1:23 am

way to go nava (and husband), can you give us a clue?

1:23 am

Norad - The c7 sounds like 'c------ station' without a consonant; and is plural. It has a c6 to go with it. Think "middle"

1:23 am

an9/60 is a plural for pronghorns, impala's etc.

1:23 am

amd a9/60 and a/8 45 are within the 10 letter word

another word for caulk

1:24 am

oooh, 325 words! *quickly changes plans for the day* morning all :)

1:24 am

debs...what are you referring to? to the a 9/60? i thought that was the plural form?

1:24 am

got any clues for that a 9/60?

1:24 am

Thx, brandyjack -- it's amazing how they jump off the grid once you know wher to start :D

1:25 am

Thanks, Debs

1:25 am

G'morning, sherb!

1:25 am

adda aletter on the end of the 9...

1:25 am

10/91 - what letter does it start with?

1:25 am

thx for the clues everyone, that should use up my time for tonight... :)

1:26 am

ga

1:26 am

norad...small island within the great salt lake

1:26 am

se 7/32

1:27 am

Spatial - a clue for that s 7?

thanks Jack and everyone

1:27 am

thanks for the hints everyone -- now I feel better ;D

the s 7 is another word for caulk

1:29 am

Got it. Thanks, spatial. Is that a ga10?

1:32 am

brandyjack's stats are posted.

Me, Zubie? I'm confused

1:33 am

Sorry, spatail. Deb - is the 10 a ga?

1:36 am

zubie...there is a ga/9 and a ga/10...they work with the an/8 and an/9...thanks for the clues everybody!

1:37 am

Thanks, Norad. Didn't know that that was a word. :D

1:37 am

me either, monkey typed...

1:42 am

okay, i'm still not getting the ga 10. any other clues?

1:46 am

anyone there?

1:47 am

nava: don't overthink the ga10. If you have the an9, just try the obvious thing.

1:49 am

I've got it, and I wasn't even looking for it... :)

1:49 am

oh my gosh, i was spelling it wrong this whole time. even though i spelled the a9 and a10 right, i kept miss spelling the ga's. it getting late!

2:00 am

Gotta go -- grid is blurring, and I keep getting "Oops! You've already used that word." Must be time to recharge the old noggin -- only 130 left to find and I haven't hit the 2nd letterlist yet --yay me!! :D (*hugs for everyone*) TTFN

2:00 am

Nite GreyWoulf.....

2:01 am

bye GW, sleep well :) *hugs*

2:03 am

morning tbear :)

2:03 am

nite gw

2:04 am

'Night GW :)

2:06 am

is anyone having technical difficulties? like system slowing like the other night?

2:06 am

Yep. Tech difficulties here in Atlanta.

2:07 am

bit slow, nava...hung for a minute a while ago...

2:08 am

yeah, like refresh is taking forever and then once it's done, all the letter wern't there. then one time, my list was gone and 0 was recorded, even though i was still logged in.

2:08 am

hey munner :) how goes it?

2:10 am

Good morning tbear.

2:10 am

Trouble getting to sleep tonight so here I am. How are you?

2:10 am

Hi tbear!

2:11 am

Well, 'mornin' tbear.

2:12 am

I'm well, thanks...day off work today, lots planned, but got to find 325 words somehow :)

2:13 am

Hey...mab..just did the 3 minute panic station to get my lazy teenage girls out of the door....AND they've missed the school bus again....I give up! How are you?

2:14 am

Just put in Gentle and was indisnant when not accepted...Lol

2:15 am

indignant

2:15 am

LOL gentle is the first word I saw in the grid

2:17 am

slowing down, time for toast...

2:17 am

Then there's ASAP and OPEC :)

2:17 am

i put in gentle too

2:19 am

have any of you received the email that is all spelled wrong? each word begins and ends witht he correct letter, but the middle of the word is jumbled. but they say our brain can read word fine as long as the words begin and end correctly.

2:19 am

Maybe we all need to take some n/4

2:20 am

i know, i stay up so late playing this game each nite. it's after midnight here on the west coast. i'm gonna be tired tomorrow.

2:20 am

Munner,so what's my excuse I just got up!!!!

2:21 am

I've seen that one, and it's fascinating. The one I like is the list of color words written in color, but the word doesn't match the color it's written in. Little kids do fine, but it's a struggle for readers!

2:22 am

yeah, it's mind boggling

2:22 am

tbear, with three teenage girls, you need NO excuses!

2:23 am

Thx Munner...but pls make that 2...altho normally have at least 2/3 more,especially on weekends..

2:24 am

Sorry, tbear, guess I was thinking of the days when I had 3 teenage boys.

2:25 am

nibble nibble, sniff sniff sniff !! :D

2:25 am

hey babbler.

2:25 am

Hey Babbler....Mab?? where are you?

2:26 am

morning Babbler :) you're eating toast, and you've got a cold?

2:27 am

LOL!!!! :D hi guys! nooooo, not a cold or a sniffle..... today's theme is Hamsters! That was my hamster impression! lol! : )

2:27 am

Munner...you know where I'm at then....struggling to maintain a sense of humour....

2:27 am

lol, very good!! I see the Holy Carrot's sprouted wings...nice ;)

2:28 am

lol!! thanks Sherb! ......but have you refreshed to see my drawing for today? *refresh*

2:29 am

Hi Babbler :D

2:30 am

HI Zubie!! :D

2:33 am

good drawing...I'm impressed :) I love the themes, but I draw the line at hamsters...I'm the London skyline today

2:33 am

...or the bit of it you can see from my front window...

2:33 am

Hi everyone :)

2:34 am

hi lot

2:34 am

hi lotti :)

2:35 am

I wondered if you took that pic, Sherb! I know your neck of the woods vaguely (kite flying, as you do!), so I recognised the view! :D Great pic!

2:35 am

HI lotti!!!! :D

2:37 am

Well today my son is off school ill!! I`m wondering if he`ll ever get chance to play a shepherd...... he was ill the year before last when he was cast as a shepherd in reception class :(

2:39 am

awwww, sorry to hear that, Lotti. When's the show?

2:39 am

sadly, pic is courtesy of Google...my puny little 2MP digital camera isn't up to the challenge...

2:40 am

I think my camera is 2mp as well! I only got it to help sell stuff on ebay..... but now I fancy a new camera! : )

2:40 am

lotti - apparently, there's a big run on teatowels in the shops at this time each year... for the shepherd's...

2:44 am

LOL Sherb....why doesn`t that suprise me!!!! :) Babs..tomorrow till Thursday

2:45 am

awwww, that's such a shame. he won't be well in time. : (

2:45 am

Hi Lotti.One in one out keep moving.Are you OK.Or have you started coughing?

2:47 am

macadam...lotti's not allowed to cough...she's a mother,you should know mothers aren't allowed to be ill... :)

2:48 am

I should have known better,I apologise profusely.;)

2:48 am

Hi mum..i`m fine (touch wood) just shattered, up with Lewis till 2am. He sounds like a little dog bless him, the kind of cough that always makes him sick though....... fortunatley that hasn`t happened yet!!!

2:49 am

Halfway finished--going to try to go to sleep again. g'nite all

2:49 am

good going!! sleep well, Munner : )

3:07 am

Morning folks

3:07 am

Hi Yoink :)

3:08 am

morning Yoink :)

3:10 am

This one looks pretty bad today :/

3:10 am

morning yoink

3:11 am

Mmmm....I wasn`t gonna bother putting any words in, but i just couldn`t resist.......as usual!!!

3:12 am

when i saw over 300 words I very nearly didn't bother to start. then my hand started to shake from withdrawal, so i thought, what the hell!!!!!!!

3:12 am

wish i had listened to my instincts now

3:13 am

The words hook, line and sinker spring to mind :)

3:14 am

I probably shouldn't have started either, I'll never finish it I bet. I won't be able to get a real start at it till later too, it's tricky here at work

3:15 am

Whats your job Yoink???

3:17 am

I'm currently in accountancy, at least till the end of january then I seek new pastures

3:18 am

Oh right......maths, yuck!!! Is that in Wigan ??

3:19 am

Yep, just outside the town centre. Actually surprisingly maths knowledge isn't that necessary, computers and calculators work it all out for you.

3:21 am

LOL...yes, i hear you don`t need maths in banks either. They work the same way :) I`m on a return to learn maths course at the mo.... not sure about the GCSE, that scares me :/

3:25 am

Yoink!!! (((((( xx)))))

3:28 am

working through the alphabet backwards today (why do I make it even harder?)...210 still to find...off out for a bit...back later :)

3:28 am

Later Sherb :)

3:28 am

I always work backwards! see you later : )

3:29 am

can't beleive there's a 10 out there. 140 down and I havn't even spotted a 7 word yet!!!!!!!!!

3:30 am

I`ve got the A8 and 9 :)

3:30 am

Hi ! ((((Babbler)))) How's things?

3:31 am

great thanks. you? did you fall asleep at your desk yesterday morning? we were all yelling for you to wake up! :D

3:32 am

Wow, just found the dear (deer) words too!!!!!!

3:33 am

I think I did, managed to crawl to the sofa at some point though, that's where I woke up, and where I spent most of the day :/

3:33 am

awwwwww!! whatyerlike??! :D

3:36 am

Oh well. Anyway, gotta go, just popped in to say hello and see what the grid is like today, be back later.

3:37 am

have a good day, Yoink! see you later : D

3:37 am

Thanks, bye! :)

3:39 am

Later Yoink :)

3:45 am

Yay.....100 words and that includes all the A`s :) Better go and dose boy child up with medicine, see you all later :)

3:46 am

Good going!! see you later, Lotti. : )

4:08 am

Hi Judi! Hi Mitch!

4:08 am

4:08 am

Hi all thanks Babbler

4:09 am

Ok Babbler - as punishment, you can give me a clue for ea4/10. I just looked at the stats now (213 and stuck) and I've no clue about the ea. :/

4:09 am

Good morning everyone. I take it we're in rodent mode?

4:10 am

LOL!!!! Zube, I've only got 77 words!! (roflol!!) but let me see............... hmmmmmmmmm :/ *concentrates*.........

4:10 am

hi Eva, Atalante suggested hamsters last week, as a joke, and everyone Ayed it!!! lol! so hamsters it is! :D

4:10 am

zubie, your commanding officer might tell you to stand at e___

4:11 am

Just popped in to have a look - Then I saw 325 words - not sure if I am even going to start today, I don't have that many hours in a day (hubby complains if I spend to long on "that thing!")

4:11 am

zube, you are doing really well, I've got to 120 very quickly but the rest will have to be done later :)

4:11 am

zubie- only looked for ea10 when you asked. found straight away- ae+ vowel = bog letter

4:11 am

hah!!! got the ea4/10 !!

4:11 am

149 came quickly but now hitting a wall.

4:12 am

errr - big letter

4:12 am

I wasnt going to start either, ex wren, but then I found myself entering a word.......... once you're in, you're in! : )

4:12 am

1/2 done - time for lunch

4:12 am

Sorry zubie - wrong ea of course!

4:13 am

zube, it looks kinda french.......

4:14 am

zubie-have it now - think french liquids

4:15 am

I'll let you know later babbler, We are going into town now, to try to complete our Christmas shopping. Nightmare, what do you buy for teenage boys?

4:17 am

dunno ex wren :/ I suppose book tokens / cd vouchers is cheating?

4:22 am

Thank you! Got it at last! [Glares at the word] I was trying to make it accept a letter which it was determined to refuse!

4:24 am

I love the g9 & 10, they are so typical of babble!

4:29 am

Didn't even know that those were words, Mitch! :D

4:30 am

me neither!

4:33 am

just got the 8s and 9s. I saw a clue earlier, not to overthink the 10........... so I didn't, and there it was!! :D

4:33 am

if only the other 192 words were as fun to find :(

4:35 am

zubie-did you get my regular email yesterday? No pressure to write back, just wondered if it arrived.

4:35 am

agreed, Fmitch, I'm working backwards, and I've been on the to's for ages. that first one..... ugh! :/

4:35 am

How neat is this? 214 words for 2140 points! ;D

4:36 am

I'm at 101 for 1091 points!! ;D

4:41 am

:D That looks good, too, Babbler. It's rather a pity for me to find more words and spoil the beauty of the 214/2140! ;D

4:42 am

;D, yeah, I just ruined my little beauty too....... but looking forward to when I reach your score! : )

4:42 am

you know you will zube cos you are gonna finish!!!

4:42 am

Eva - just saw it now. I'll probably be replying only tomorrow. Is that ok?

4:43 am

I broke all my rules today as I usually won't do a grid that is over 200 but I thought "what the heck"!!

4:43 am

zubie-of course it's okay!

4:43 am

Rather, Mitch. But I'm stuck on 214 and have sort of lost the fire to look at the grid with --- with -- what's the word I want?

4:44 am

snap, so did I, Fmitch!! :D

4:45 am

alacrity? enthusiasm? eagerness? excitement?

4:45 am

interest? without yawning?

4:46 am

look for the other 111 words zubie and you may find the one you are missing LOL. Maybe it's time for a break and then you will come back to the grid with fresh eyes.

4:49 am

Lol, Babbler! Yes, any of those will do. :D 111 more words, MItch? SEE? It's pretty even THAT way! If I find another word, I'll spoil BOTH totals! ;D

4:50 am

Does anyone have more clues for the long c?

4:50 am

we almost have Al Capone.

4:51 am

'fraid not Eva, am working at the other end of the alphabet at the moment

4:51 am

you soooooooooooo need a break, Zube!! LOL! go on, go get a cup of tea and admire your numbers before you have to spoil them again! :D

4:51 am

Long c? I've got a c7, is that the one you mean, Eva?

4:51 am

Notice: Ruined both totals by finding a word! :D

4:52 am

got the c's! Finally understood the station clue.

4:52 am

got the big c7. (how many are there?)

4:55 am

Missing the first as 4 and the as 6's . Any hints?

4:55 am

babbler, I only have the ce6 & 7 so far. Haven't checked Brandyjack's lists so don't know how many there are.

4:55 am

I've only got the snakes, Zube..... sorry, working on my t's and doing a general sweep at the same time. :/

4:56 am

thanks, Eva, I decided to break my rules and got Brandyjack's list ready........ tsk tsk, I know... :/

4:56 am

the only a6 I have is an as6 which has to do with something being at a tilt.

4:58 am

Lately I've been trying to make this less work and more relaxed for myself, so am pretty much just doing what I can do easily, without looking a lot of stuff up - have to moderate the obsession some.

4:58 am

ok, zube, you'll be a-glad when you a-find the a-s word.....

4:59 am

zubie, the as6 builds from an l4 and an s5

5:05 am

o4 fruits,made to make yr mouth water.... :)

5:06 am

Thanks, Eva. Babbler, still looking for the one you mentioned.

5:07 am

5:07 am

tee hee ; )

5:07 am

No just woke up AGAIN

5:08 am

5:10 am

*tickles tbear with a feather*

5:11 am

I keep seeing a gator! :s

5:11 am

5:11 am

5:12 am

awwww, Atalante!!! and it's your hamster day too : ( I drew this specially for you! : )

5:12 am

hamster day! omg of course! *runs to get hamster icon* I can be around more if just chatting than cursing at the board though!

5:14 am

5:19 am

*chuckles*.... they're both as, zube! :D

5:20 am

for the as6's - use your S words..... I got them from the fab clues below.... : )

5:22 am

Doh, Babbler! Of course! Can you tell that I'm babble brain-fogged? :/ Got just one as4, one as5 and an as 6

5:23 am

there are only 5 as words, so you're almost there. (there's only one as5)

5:23 am

Thanks everyone for the interventions. I am now going to sign off (really and truly!) and get on with life.

5:24 am

instructions - move cursor to log out hit enter see you later, Eva!! :D

Good Morning, just woke up and everything is a little blurry. Can anyone explain to me how Brandyjack gets the grid so fast?

5:24 am

Yes! Got four. Missing the first as4! *Sigh* I thought that babble was supposed to be FUN? :D This is like an exam! ;D

5:25 am

so you're STILL bobbing on the ocean.............. ?

6:32 am

Way to many words today - 325. Hi all!

6:32 am

Thank you Karys, got relatives arriving shortly so may not have much time to babble today...

6:33 am

Hi Karys and FMitch :)

6:34 am

oohhh....why isn't 'casual' there.....its a lovely word !!

6:47 am

Hello every1. Looks like loads of fun packed into one little grid ^_^

6:47 am

Time to go again, bye everyone

6:48 am

I hope your leaving doesn't have anything to do w/my arrival.

6:48 am

LOL, no Gramma more to do with needing some lunch

6:49 am

Adios, Yoink. Enjoy your lunch

6:58 am

Greetings All. We got a couple of inches of snow yesterday with a few more due tomorrow here in New England Mummy.

Need a clue on the last ta5/10

7:00 am

I hear that New England is glorious, particularly in the fall, my friend has been there several times and raves about it - particularly Vermont.. it is still on my list however.

7:01 am

Marc - think birds claws singular

7:01 am

Where are you from Mummy?

7:02 am

Somerset (South West England)

7:03 am

I thought you were from the other side of the pond from your username but it was just a wild guess. I live about 15 minutes North of Boston, Massachusetts.

7:05 am

My partner went to Boston for work a few years ago, this time of year, after a few minutes outside he thought his nose had frozen off!

7:05 am

I've never been to England but it is definitely on my list of must holiday someday spots. Surrounding areas as well.

7:06 am

It is actually warm here today. It will get up to almost 40 degrees Farenheit.

7:07 am

I spent some time in Australia, wonderful place, had to come back though, but really do appreciate the English countryside and having France, Greece, etc etc only a few hours away is great

7:07 am

THat would be around 4 or 5 degrees Celcius.

Sorry don't understand bird claws need more help

7:08 am

managed to get to New York a couple of times....I loved it !!....and my daughter getting maaried in Florida in May...22 of us coming for that

7:09 am

mornin all! feeling hamstery?

7:09 am

What does an eagle have at the end of it's feet?

7:10 am

hi there evan :)

7:10 am

Florida wedding sounds good, I have told my kids that if they (ever) get married can they please do it somewhere warm so we can have a holiday too!

7:10 am

its a lot less costly to mummy

7:10 am

You are right about that. But we aren't so bad off either with all of Canada and Mexico and the Carribbean Islands on the East Coast and Hawaii and other such places on the West Coast. My Hubby and I went to Australia on our honeymoon. What a fantastic country. We both loved it and tried to extend our stay but it would have been too expensive. I've been to some parts of Europe and intend to get back with Hubby at some point but kidlet is too small to do much travelling for the next few years and we intend to have a few more if possible.

7:11 am

Not many high-scoring words today, or am I just not seeing them...

Thanks got it I swear I tried that word before and didn't get it.

7:12 am

There's a 10, 2 9s and 3 8s today.

7:12 am

Oh, and 9 7s.

7:12 am

Naptime for kidlet. CUL8R.

7:12 am

my partners son lives in Australia...so thats on the list...they are expecting their first baby in June...so be after that... but probably not next year.

7:13 am

All this talk of sunshine places and here the weather is horrible, wish I was on a tropical beach somewhere, nice cold drink ..... mmmmm turn the heating up close eyes and imagine!

7:14 am

need a better imagination than mine then mummy !!

7:14 am

The journey to Aus is so boring but well worth the trouble, and I hate flying but it has to be done..

7:15 am

yes, that bit doesn't appeal to me either

7:16 am

Gosh, you've done a lot of travelling Minski, where is your favourite place (so far!)?

7:21 am

Anyone got a clue for the se8/40 please?

7:22 am

Greetings, all! It's a big one today... good thing I'm stuck home because of the snow...

7:22 am

not got it yet FMitch

7:22 am

Hi Jera

7:23 am

My son loves that icon, Karys...

7:23 am

7:24 am

7:24 am

7:28 am

Hi Jen.....sounds good for you then !!....and yes thank you

7:30 am

7:36 am

Thanks Karys got it at last

7:37 am

thats good rosalind :)

7:44 am

Fmitch: se8/40: A salt or ester (if I give you more, you'll see it!! think of one of the nutrients in your multi-vitamin) off out to shops - back in a little while! :D (Zube - don't panic!)

7:46 am

Just got back. I had to leave in a hurry. Very interrupted babbling today. :/

7:50 am

thanks babbler. 1 more s to find, dont know which one I am missing - got 1 of the 2 last se5/18s. I've got the one that sounds like drains.

7:55 am

Help! Didn't get the se8 clue!

7:57 am

Got it!

7:58 am

well done zubie, don't suppose you can help with my missing se5/18?

7:58 am

Fmitch - swap the last letter for your other se5/18 deffo out to shops now!! :D back v soon.

8:00 am

Bab you are a star!!!!

8:00 am

Not got it yet, Mitch. :/

8:11 am

Good morning all, a blustery day in Middle Tennessee, sure would love some of that snow that's going around! Does anyone have a clue for the wa6?

8:13 am

Nord - the wa6 is apparently a Scottish word for wrestle :)

8:14 am

oh great...ywis...or something of that nature...thx sherb

8:21 am

Clue for po 6/27?

8:21 am

Hi everyone :) wa6- take the opposite of peace and add what santa rides in less the last letter :)

8:25 am

Morning lola! Zubie, po6 is a thick, creamy soup.

8:33 am

Thanks, Jen. Got it!

8:35 am

There are a lot of words today. I thought I was doing well with 142 words but I still have 183 words left to find. I think I need a breakfast break. CUL8R.

8:40 am

Any clue please for the ge6/24, not the italian ice cream one

8:41 am

Good afternoon all. Davetins - your ge6 is an anagram of 'tangle'

Hello all :)

8:41 am

morning all . . . welcome to hamsterland!

8:42 am

TYVM jacula that was my last one

8:42 am

Hi guys

8:43 am

Davetins - Well done! I've still got 73 to go. But, since I've only just put in my words from my first sweep of the grid, I'm quite pleased.

8:43 am

Hi davetins! You done?

8:44 am

Hi Zubie, yes just finished

8:45 am

you need anything???

8:46 am

bravo davetins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

8:47 am

On 283 now, davetins! :D How about a wave of a magic wand that will 'get' all the remaining words for me? :D

8:48 am

Consider it done zubie, anything particular holding you up??

8:50 am

Good Morning, Jen! Have you been to the gym yet? My computer at school is doing strange things, so I probably won't be able to babble during my lunch! Band

8:52 am

Anyone even know what a g9 is? It has no entry on dictionary.com

8:53 am

The sl's, davetins!

8:55 am

Yoink - From what I can gather it seems to be another word for 'gauntlet'.

Think deer

8:57 am

Thanks Jacula, thought it might have just been an a8 with the initial G, maybe Graham or Gary

8:57 am

Yoink - LOL.

think deer for g9

8:58 am

I want to know why 'sealeg' isn't a word. I mean, if you can find your sealegs surely, if only one leg is behaving in a manner fit for a sailor, you can have a 'sealeg'?:-)

8:58 am

Hey everybody! does anyone have a clue for the as6 that doesn't mean tilted?

8:59 am

Jacula, it's probably hyphenated. Rosalind, thanks but I already had it, I just wondered what it meant

9:00 am

smithchick....as6....think going up the mountain...you'd be going up a ?????

9:02 am

Thanks, karys, got that one. Do you have the other one?

9:03 am

yes ty

9:03 am

Smithchick - think what italic type does.

9:03 am

Any clue for wa 6/30 please?

9:04 am

ooops sorry smithchick ...did you need.....thought you had it !!!

9:04 am

Sorry Zubie, I've got a plumber putting in a new shower The Sl's are all easy ones, can't think you would be stuck on any of them

9:04 am

Think battles then - the in french

Man I am so out of the loop! lol :) My icon never matches everyone elses! Can you even tell who my icon is? :)

9:06 am

It's ok, davetins [re: plumber] . Sl's - just lousy tracking of mine. Grr.

9:07 am

It's the as6/21 that I'm missing.

9:07 am

Hi ToeSock - It's Marilyn Munroe, isn't it?

9:08 am

only one as6/21 smithchick

9:08 am

TSN, looks like a bored ballerina

9:08 am

Smithchick, it's along the same lines as the other as6, a + another s5 meaning an incline

9:08 am

SmithChick - When you ski, you ski down a sl***

9:09 am

Oh, okay. Head slap moment. Thanks all!

9:11 am

Aly, you get the wa6/30 yet??

Jacula - Your right! It's Miss Monroe :)

9:14 am

Well, I'm off for a while. Thanks everybody! Be back later, I'm sure.

9:16 am

301 - will try to finish this tomorrow. Seeya everyone!

9:17 am

Bye Zubie

9:17 am

Bye Smithchick and Zubie

later zub

later smith

I am stuck! :( Any clues on the 8, 9, or 10 letter words? Please? :)

9:22 am

TSM, there is an an8 and its plural which is like a deer, that also leads to the g9 and 10

Thanks yoink. I was spelling the deer wrong and figured it wasn't there.

Yoink! Your the best! Thank yooooou =o)

....still missing two 8 letter words...

9:29 am

I haven't got the other 2 8s yet either

9:40 am

Here's an interesting experiment for you guys to try: I've currently got my mate punster playing this game at the same time as me, and he's logged on under my name!!! So every time I think I've found a new word, I get the "Oops" message!!!!!

9:41 am

But I tell you what, at least I'll finish the game more quickly!!!

9:43 am

movieman that will be intersting to see if the theory works!

9:46 am

Nice one, Movieman!!!!!!!!! :D

9:47 am

Good morning, everyone --- I'm hoping I'll be a little brighter this morning than I was last night. Grid doesn't look any better, though!

9:48 am

This may look like movieman, but it really is punster I have to say movieman - I can't stop laughing from all of the plurals you keep missing :D

9:49 am

((((Baggo))))

10:03 am

i noticed you and torgone poofed in together...lol

10:03 am

I'm telling you all...this is the way forward for all you Babblers out there... Just make sure you have more than one PC in the house, and they both have Broadband, then get someone else, (a friend, sibling, parent etc.) to play he game under your name, and find out how quickly you can finish the game...lol

10:03 am

Lotti, yes still at work, in fact work is calling and I've got to go for a bit, bye!

10:03 am

Hey baggo! Good luck for tomorrow then my friend! We'll all be thinking of you so be sure to let us all know how it goes :)

10:03 am

Congratulations baggo and good luck for the first day - do let me know how you get on

10:03 am

bye yoink...

10:04 am

Here's a question for the movieman duo- can two people play under separate names at the same time on the same computer?

10:04 am

thanks guys...i'm a little nervous after 15 years of babies weighing less than 13 pounds top, this is going to be a very interesting job....

10:05 am

'bye yoink :)

10:05 am

10:18 am

Hi Raolen:) Gramma you`re looking very athletic!!!! :)

10:19 am

Time for another clue - perhaps the movieman combo can help??? or anyone for that matter LOL looking for 2nd la5/12 please

10:19 am

10:20 am

what meaning were you thinking of for lols?

10:20 am

hurshy u gonna get halfway?

10:20 am

thanks bugzy, thats what i say about people who do hospice and some of the adult icus, and surgery...glad they can do it, just not for me...trauma trauma, and of course my babies, but recently that has just gotten a bit hard too...

10:21 am

FMitch, add a vowel to the end of the la4/5 before it :)

10:21 am

fmitch...think of falling into a coma...

10:21 am

I hope so, or he misses out on playing a shepherd again.....the curse of the shepherd eh!!!

10:22 am

dunno, we'll see i guess. i'm at 53. i wouldn't give me good odds being tired. how about you?

10:22 am

Fmitch - just got another la5/12...it's the part of a jacket where you pin a buttonhole... Is this the one you are seeking...?

10:23 am

im gonna try but im not hopeful

10:23 am

oh, is today hamster day?

10:23 am

My kids were both sick last week with some nasty stomach virus...one of the local schools had to be shut down cause of flu... Nasty stuff :(

10:23 am

it's nice to "see" you even when i can't see you :)

10:23 am

Hey movieman, did you get the plural of that? No? I wonder why ^_^

10:23 am

moviman/punster...how many words you two have...we should keep track to see how quickly you two do...

10:23 am

hamster day?

10:24 am

u need a picture

10:24 am

yeah i have one, hang on

10:25 am

baggo - we're down to 113...although that's probably gone down as I'm typing this...lol

10:26 am

refresh!

10:26 am

thanks all, just realised it's the 3rd la5/12 not the 2nd that I am missing. Someone remind me next time that this is why I don't do grids over 200 words - am going cross eyed LOL

10:26 am

I should add to movieman, we only started about an hour and a half ago ;->

10:26 am

ok, i was just curious...you know one day, we could all make new people and have partners, and play doubles...just a thought, we'd have to sign up....

10:27 am

Back again...

10:28 am

You`re as bad as me Yoink......can`t stay away :)

10:28 am

100

10:30 am

Yeah, it's pretty sad.

10:31 am

If it's pretty sad that you keep coming back, what does it say about movieman?

10:32 am

Now now Punster!!!! LOL

10:32 am

afternoon all :) I see Babble's claimed another victim...movieman's now talking to himself!

10:33 am

Wot, I'm sad just because I require punster's assistance in finshing a Babble...?

10:33 am

roflmao

10:33 am

Or spelling apparently...

10:33 am

baggo - here we go LOL

10:33 am

Not really, sherb - I've got punster playing under my name on a different PC...

10:34 am

LOL...you two are nuts!!!! Hi again Sherb :)

10:35 am

fmitch...its killin me my sides ache, and the more that come on will think movieman is bloomin nuts...

10:35 am

I call myself Punster 'cos I crack people up, though it appears that movieman's cracking around the edges anyway.. ;]

10:36 am

oh he's cracked alright...LOL

10:36 am

hi again lotti :) great idea, movieman...contracting out the big puzzles...

10:36 am

movieman ?

10:37 am

baggo - don't worry, I've known punster long enough to be a certain strait-jacket job anyway...

10:37 am

:-)

10:38 am

The guy's enough to drive anyone round the twist...

10:38 am

babbler, he's bloody gone off the deep end over this big puzzle....thinks he's punster...LOL

10:39 am

Punster's "jokes" are worse than Frank Carson's and Stan Boardman's put together...

10:39 am

I said......... *takes deep breath* Movieman ????

10:39 am

Of course I'm Punster, who else would I be?

10:40 am

Yes, Babbler.....what is it...?

10:40 am

well that is a very true statement, if you could become someone i guess the natural choice would be punster..

10:40 am

what happens if you guys press post message at the same time? do your computers blow up?

10:41 am

either way you 2 are giving me a great laugh today...

10:41 am

Yes, punster, the man with what is laughingly termed a "sense of humour".....lol

10:41 am

No, just our heads .. lol

10:41 am

LOL! I'd pay 10 bucks to see that... :D

10:42 am

I'm with lola....lol

10:42 am

tut *sigh*......... didn't work........... I wanted BOTH you Moviemans to ask me what I wanted. Punster - you're having an identity crisis, mate! lol!

I am missing two 8 letter words. Can anyone help?

10:42 am

Yes, the head exploding would be like something out of "Scanners"...lol

((((((Babbler))))))

10:42 am

Only 10! I thought I meant more than that!

10:42 am

(((((((Toes )))))))) :D

10:42 am

TSM sp8/50 and se8/40

(((Baggo!)))

10:43 am

10 if the computers explode....I'll pay more if it's your heads, punster! :)

10:44 am

Well, thats all right then...

FMitch! Thanks!

10:44 am

((((TSM))))

Any hints on the sp8/50 and se8/40?

10:45 am

Good morning everyone...movieman/punster, my daughter is on limited time at college and so she plays under my name when she gets a minute...once in awhile we overlap and it becomes a race to see who can type the words in faster...

10:46 am

It's pretty funny when it looks like I'm talking to myself...of course I do that anyway, just not usually in type!!

10:46 am

Unluckily for the other one, I'm a faster typer so I usually beat him out ;)

10:46 am

TS I take it that you haven't got the sp7 then?

No on the sp7 :(

10:48 am

movieman/punster - perhaps you could have a code so we know which one of you is talking? Madman 1 and Madman 2, for example ;)

10:48 am

tsm....think of to stop xmas...(it's in a kids movie, they are going to c...christmas) (year without a santa claus i believe)...and use your sp then pl

10:48 am

sherb it's much too funny this way...

10:48 am

ROFL Sherb

10:49 am

baggo - how do I know that's really you talking, heh? ;)

10:49 am

anyone with a clue for the pe7/40???? just can't see it..

10:50 am

no need for code, sherb........... when you ask for Movieman, only one of them answers!!!!!!!1 LOL!! :D

10:50 am

Wher'es the fun in that? I simply figure it must be obvious which of us is talking since I'm the one with a sense of humour :P

10:50 am

mmwwwaaaa mwwwaaaa you don't....

10:51 am

so who's jumpin in the custard first when you finish???

10:51 am

pe7/40 take the pe4/5 and add your "years" to it

10:51 am

lol baggo!

lol baggo! :) Hey thanks for the clue as well!

10:52 am

bless you fmitch...i had stats on, and look at them so that i can see a post...when letter get dark i tend to think i can't use them...LOL no prob tsm

FMitch! Thanks again!

10:54 am

baggo, tsm you are both very welcome.

10:56 am

clues on se8 anyone? lola if you are still here, thx for the clue on the wa 6 earlier, I had to leave and came back to find it...nice return treat!

*claps hands excitedly*

10:57 am

norad, you are welcome, hope it made sense! Looking for the se8 myself...

10:58 am

lola, made complete sense, I got it on the first try...

10:59 am

the se8 is a bu***r as it is all by itself and does'nt build on anything. Def is a sal or ester. all req'd letters are in the 1st 2 lines of the grid.

10:59 am

lola its a vitamin, i think but this about the opposite of buy, drop the last letter add a vowel +with the shortened name for nathan....

10:59 am

sorry typo - "salt or ester"

10:59 am

se8 begins with the French word for salt and ends with the past tense of eat...oh, and there's a couple of other letters in the middle... ;)

11:00 am

Thanks FMitch, got it :)

11:01 am

Thanks baggo and sherb too :)

11:01 am

nice one lola - sorry haven't got used to calling you sis yet :)

11:01 am

so the name of a Brazilian footballer is accepted?

11:02 am

Hey movieman, you got any of those 7s, 8s, 9s or the 10 yet? I only ask because I'm curious, not because I'm a mean person or anything...

11:03 am

is the sisterhood gaining members on your side of the pond???

11:04 am

punster, I've got the an8 and the an9, & the ga9 and the ga10...

11:05 am

Yeah Baggo....Macadam is adopting at a faster rate than Angelina Jolie!!!!!

11:05 am

baggo - I got adopted alongside of lola (she was 1st) by lotti and macadam

11:05 am

ok, that is really funny

11:05 am

FMitch, lol! Could get confusing when lotti is here too! Baggo, seems mom has been adopting again, yes! :)

11:06 am

She adopted Marc the other day too !!!

11:07 am

thing is I don't remeber when it happened and that we also have Marc as a brother

11:07 am

well i think i could say sis but i'm not adopted yet, wrong side of the pond....you're all gonna confuse people and it will be great to watch...bout as much fun as the punster/movieman...

11:07 am

lotti we are sis as we are typing the same subject at the same time!!!!!

11:07 am

i was here for the marc one...christmas is gonna be fun in the uk this year....lol

11:08 am

Bye bye, lotti! ((((((((((xXxXxXxXx))) )))))))))))

11:19 am

I used to have a kettle shaped like a Friesian cow. It had a cow's head atop and mooed when it boiled. We had to take it back when the moo broke though. Now got a plain white kettle. LOL.

11:19 am

11:25 am

11:25 am

Bugzy - Bring me some candy!

11:26 am

Hi all, may I please have a clue for the se8/40?

11:26 am

11:32 am

Hey Babs! You came down from Zorg then :)

11:32 am

Hello to all just joining in for the day.

11:32 am

feel like I'm still there, Miya, the way this grid is going... :/ how's your day been? : )

Morning Cybernan

11:34 am

eh...good up until now! Gotta go already! *kicks computer out of window*

11:34 am

*waves b'bye to Miya* see you later? :)

11:35 am

bye miyavi...

11:35 am

Hi Sera -- did you get my e-mail? -- been babbling, so haven't looked.

11:36 am

hi kids

11:36 am

finally got the sp 7 & 8

11:36 am

Time I followed Lola's lead and went off to make some dinner - chicken curry with rice & naan bread, using up yesterday's chicken. Hi & 'bye Miyavi (if you can hear me now your computer's out on the lan). LOL.

11:37 am

*Meant 'lawn' not 'lan'.

Not yet.... I'll look now. I'm multitasking, as you know.

11:37 am

ahh, jacula, that sounds awesome. I just might have to get myself some curry for lunch.

11:38 am

Those Scottish words are back!

11:39 am

why does it accept the most obscure acronyms, but not NASA, NATO or OPEC? ...weird...

11:40 am

*stomps back into chat log* RIGHT. Had to give my computer a good beating but I think it's ready to behave now

11:41 am

well i'm off...happy hunting...see you all later in the week i think...

11:41 am

Sera -- you've certainly chosen one of the larger grids to jump back in with! -- I still have 61 to go, but need to hit the mall again today -- if you need a clue, shout!

11:42 am

bi baggo, hi miyavi.

11:42 am

that should have been "bye" phonetic spelling you know.

11:43 am

Hey Boreetos :) How are you?

11:44 am

not bad for a monday, yourself?

11:45 am

Any help for the an8 and an9? pls

11:45 am

an 8 and 9 think of home home on the range

11:46 am

This grid is a royal pain in the AR4/4. Baby is up from her nap. Time for grocery shopping and lunch. Not in that order. CUL8R Alligator

11:46 am

bye baggo...good luck in the new job! :)

11:46 am

Minski - Bring me some candy!

11:47 am

awww have fun and babye minski

11:47 am

still crazy -- no longer roaming thx.

11:47 am

Eh, same...think I ended up stumping my music teacher though. He keeps saying he's a small man, he has a small voice, he can't afford to talk over us or reach the deeper tones. I then pointed out to him that one of my favourite singers is only 5'3" and can sing/scream for hours. Think he was quite glad to see me go.

11:47 am

time for dinner...back later...

11:47 am

LOL yvw

11:47 am

babye for now sherb! Have a good one.

11:48 am

Later Sherb! :)

11:50 am

Evening All ; )

11:51 am

Hi Anj

11:51 am

sup anj?!

11:51 am

flippin eck.... just got the sp8........... am exhausted!!! :/

11:51 am

hi Anj :)

11:52 am

Hey Anj :) Can I just ask, what's with the hamsters?

11:52 am

Hey Still, Boreetos, Babs, Miya... haven't even started this one yet. Is it any good???

11:52 am

*clapping for Babs*

11:52 am

...I thought it was Hamster Monday...

11:52 am

Atalante asked for hamsters just for a laugh........ but then we all said Aye and there we are..... :)

11:53 am

*checks stats* no

11:53 am

s'alright till you get into the 200s........... :/

11:53 am

hamster monday...right. And I'd just got my act together and put up Hide as well!

11:55 am

didn't realize it was Hamster Monday... all better now.

11:56 am

and speaking of which, I'll be back at lunch kids. See you then.

11:56 am

OK, will give it a go then : D 325 words hiding in the grid 325 words hiding in the grid and if one of those words was electroluminescence there would be 324...

11:57 am

have a good lunch boreetos!

11:57 am

Later Boreetos :) Anj - ?!

11:58 am

Once more unto the breach...

11:58 am

...just having the breakdown at the start so I can get it out of the way...

12:00 pm

how you doing, Yoink?

12:01 pm

riiiight :) Hahaha...you know, up until my science lesson today, I didn't know it was in the syllabus to actually blow up the bunsen burners :D

12:01 pm

Gamewise or lifewise? :-D I have 153 left to find, I can live with not finishing it though

12:02 pm

...wait until you get the chance to make the vacuum flasks implode : D

12:03 pm

lol Yoink! I've started.......... so I WILL finish........ (determined... but mashed already!) :D

12:04 pm

Wow, what year does that come in?!

12:07 pm

...usually associated with drop pipettes, sublimation, condensers (don't break them as science teachers tend to go feral at the cost of replacing them...) and lots of curly rubber pipes. Proper mad professor laboratory stuff...and all just to get red crystals to form in a round-bottomed flask. All that was missing was the Igor...

12:09 pm

I remember we used to wave our hands through the bunsen burner flames, if you do it quickly and when the flame is yellow you don't feel a thing

12:10 pm

:/ Sounds like the type of lesson I should stay away from. My science teacher still hasn't stopped laughing at me since I screamed in class when some hydrogen made this squeaky popping noise. ...It was loud, okay!

12:10 pm

someone set fire to the curtains in the science lab at our school................

12:10 pm

First pa 5/12, please?

12:11 pm

pa5/12: In quantitative verse, a foot of one long syllable and three short syllables occurring in any order.

12:11 pm

...plus, he saw some Dir en Grey pics that really should be kept under cover in my planner when he was looking through to check where the table of elements was. And so was treated to Kyo in a straitjacket, blood running down his chin, flanked by the rest of DeG covered in similar bits of gore

12:12 pm

euw....

12:12 pm

Babbler, really?! I have a pyromaniac sitting one seat away from me. He melted his ruler! Then threw it at someone!

12:12 pm

Yoink, watched some good set fire to his uniform doing that. Then wave it madly over a test tube full of oxygen which also succeeded in turning a flicker into an inferno. Needless to say he will not be allowed to breed.

12:13 pm

ty, babbler, but your clue is beyond me!

12:14 pm

yes, MIya, the dimwit in my class thought she'd move the lit bunsen burner out of the way.......

12:14 pm

cybernan, just paste it into google

12:14 pm

cyber: poem :D

12:14 pm

(now why didn't I say that in the first place???? LOL! ) :D

12:15 pm

ok......... Babble giggles over here......... best keep my eyes on the list.......... :/

12:16 pm

LOL Anj, it's worrying how little brain power some people possess :-D

12:16 pm

Hi everyone. Big grid today. Best get started. Only 325 to go!

12:17 pm

Thanks, Babbler -- didn't know you could do that and get results!

12:17 pm

I rely on google a lot! yw cyber :)

12:18 pm

Oh Anj...just painfully reminded me of the boy who set his shoe on fire. On purpose. While he was wearing it. Where and why are people like this created?!

12:18 pm

Promised myself I would quit and go do some Christmas shopping when I got down to 50 words -- bye for now!

12:19 pm

I melted the bottom of some boots I was wearing once while camping out in some woods, drinking heavily and lying with my feet too close to the fire :-/

12:19 pm

good going!! see you later, cyber : )

12:20 pm

I know...it's even more frightening considering he had just been demonstrated the inflammable qualities of oxygen. Mind you, he managed to top them during a practical demo of the electrochemical series in action. Decided to take a CLOSE look at the effect of water on pure sodium without safety goggles. He was only allowed to take A-level because Oppenheimer had already discovered the lethal stuff... : /

12:20 pm

*clapping for Yoink* Amazing :D

12:21 pm

we had a nutty professor at our school. one day, he was demonstrating how phospherous goes up in flames once it comes into contact with air......... then he dropped the piece of phospherous in the turn-ups of his trousers....... (he found it in time!! :D )

12:21 pm

*bows* thank you thank you! For my encore I will burn off my eyebrows

12:21 pm

Our science teacher set fire to a fire-proof ceiling

12:22 pm

We used to steal rolls of magnesium ribbon from the science dept. to throw onto fires, that stuff is cool

12:22 pm

Potassium goes will in water. Looks like Nov 5th in purple and high temperatures : D

12:22 pm

yeah.... those curtains were supposed to be fire-retardent (or whatever the word is!) LOL ! :D

12:23 pm

Anj, don't bring back the memories...my dad once exploded a duck pond with potassium. Or some other water-boomy thing beginning with P.

12:24 pm

...now that's what I call crispy duck...

12:24 pm

yummmy...... (hungry)

12:25 pm

*quack*quack* BOOM!

12:26 pm

hi EB :D

12:26 pm

lol! I think I may have inherited the stupid gene from him! I'm the only person in my class who actually managed to be not looking where the bunsen burner was, and successfully plonk my goggles down right in the flame

12:26 pm

hi Babs

12:26 pm

Hey Easty! Thanks for the sound effects :)

12:27 pm

Hi EB : ) Miya, repeat after me: "Ow! hot..."

12:27 pm

Miya - I think your reponse answers the question you asked before...where DO these people come from??? tee hee hee!!

12:28 pm

Hi Easterblue

12:28 pm

*glares* I am not going to dignify that with an answer! ... "ow! hot..." dammit, still subconsciously in school. Powerless to resist any command from an adult :/

12:28 pm

Hi Anj, Yoink, Miya, Babs... and anyone else lurking I may have missed!

12:29 pm

Ohh...Miya hunny - you know I love ya babe!

12:29 pm

Miy, I typed that in my teacher voice : D

12:29 pm

hey, eastern blue!

12:29 pm

Hi Une!

12:29 pm

hey there. new here...how do i figure out how many words there are total thanks

12:30 pm

*runs over and hugs* Thanks Easty, needed to hear that today! Had loads of idiots asking me 'why I cut my wrists'. I DIDN'T cut my wrists, I just was attacked by a hedge :(

12:30 pm

boom - when you're 'pro' you have a stats panel.... otherwise - ask a pro! (325 today)

12:30 pm

Miya - I shall go & slay the hedge on your behalf!

12:30 pm

Anj, you confuse me so...:)

12:31 pm

Umm, sorry add a "N" to that EB!

12:31 pm

Hi Boomba! There are 325 words today. If you go to the Friends of Babble panel on the right of your screen, you'll see Babblers Anonymous at the bottom. Click on that, click on General, then Stats, you'll see a breakdown of today's grid. Welcome to Babble! :D

12:31 pm

shank you berry much. got a long way to go..only got 106

12:31 pm

Miy, that's the general idea : D lol sorry, couldn't resist that. I am here to serve and answer any questions you may have ; )

12:31 pm

Boom - there is also a link on the right (Babblers Anonymous) where the "second letter" list is posted... Click on Babs Anon...General - Stats It's changed daily....

12:32 pm

Hi Babbler, just to let you know that I resisted those 325 words today, and I'm not about to start now. It's choir practice tonight so there's no chance. Managed to find some Christmas presents this morning, the teenage boys will get After-shave! (how boring)

12:32 pm

Don't worry Easty! When I say attacked by the hedge, I mean I was bushed :) If you want you can slay the people who think I'm a manic depressive suicidal self harmer, though

12:33 pm

*evil grin* Anj, you don't want to know what questions a person like me will throw at you if given the chance

12:33 pm

you are very very wise, Ex Wren!!! lol ! :D I'm sure the boys will like their presents. Tough call! : )

12:34 pm

Yoink...no offense... growing up, I was always called by my older sisters names anyway - I'm used to anwering to just about anything!

12:35 pm

*Babs makes note to self......... be nicer to younger sisters*

12:35 pm

Miya - ...hee hee hee... I shall push said tormenters into the hedge & let it ambush them instead!! ...hee hee hee

12:36 pm

I know how you feel Eastern, I have 2 older sisters myself

12:36 pm

tormentors???? MIya?? gimme their names! *rolls sleeves up, ready to defend the littl 'un*

12:36 pm

*clapping* yay! Then I will ask them why they are self harming ^_^

12:36 pm

Yoink - I have double that! I think it may be worse for you (a boy) to be called by your sisters names... ...hmmmm

12:37 pm

Don't worry Babbler, they were just being stupid! Got my arm all scratched up and have had to endure "why do you cut yourself? Are you a goth?" all day o_O

12:38 pm

Well my mum has always called all of us by our wrong names, I have been called my sisters' names and even our dog's name, though that has stopped since he died

12:38 pm

yay! just used the X in a word : D

Hi, everybody! are hamsters a a theme...or is it a remarkable coincidence?

12:38 pm

...there's an X in there? Oooh, I'm sharp

12:38 pm

oh, you mean thtoopid people? ok. *pulls sleeves back down again.... bit too cold today*

12:38 pm

Towl...remarkable co-inky dink! *just kiddin'* HI!

12:38 pm

Hey Temple! :)

12:39 pm

hi T-Owl, hamsters are today's theme. (all in my biog!) : )

12:39 pm

Hi Temple : D Miy, why goth? I know lots of those and they don't cut themselves... They can get a bit creative with the kohl tho'.

12:39 pm

Hi Temple :)

12:39 pm

Yoink - you have my sympathies...

12:39 pm

Towl?? oh dear...

12:40 pm

Anj - are you a teacher in "real" life??

12:40 pm

Well, that's what I said! "what does being a goth have to do with anything?" ...In which case they called me a goth then ran away giggling. Really quite weird

anj?

12:41 pm

I got called a tramp once by some kids because I was walking along the street in my duffel coat with a can of beer

12:41 pm

Wah...gotta go. We 'goths' obviously need our free time to go cut ourselves as usual :/ Yeah. Okay. But in reality, dinner's up :D

bye, miyavi!

12:42 pm

EB sort of...but not in a school. In house trainer for a multi-nat. Trust me, teaching kids is a doddle compared with trying to convince a bunch of know-it-all adults that, well, actually they don't, which is why i'm standing in front of them.

12:42 pm

Miya - enjoy your dinner...catch ya later!

12:43 pm

Bye MF, enjoy :)

12:43 pm

Anj - I was a corp. trainer for over 10 years...I've since moved into project management!

12:43 pm

later Miya : ) Temple, I was just shaking my head at your new short name lol

lol anj! so true....

12:44 pm

Anj - I usually type in T-Owl...missed the hyphen & 'big' O...

yes - who did that? someone started that yesterday!

12:44 pm

EB, gi's a job then ; ) Got to get back on the career ladder in the new year *sighs*

12:44 pm

*sheepishly raises hand for today* sorry...what do you prefer?

12:45 pm

Anj - gi??

12:47 pm

EB, it's a contraction of 'give-us' popular amongst certain scriptwriters over here...

anything's fine, really, eb - just fell like a piece of linen...actually, both my first and last real names are constantly misspelled so it's no big deal!

gotta go - meeting! bbl

12:48 pm

anyone got a hint for the we6 before I go for my dinner?

12:50 pm

Yoink...we/6... WMD...biological, etc.

12:51 pm

yoink - you could hit yourself over your head with this, but I wouldn't recommend it....

12:51 pm

Whoo-hoo! Just started snowing here!!

12:52 pm

Norad a gun is a ......

12:52 pm

Hi Jera : ) I'm not liking the As... } (

12:55 pm

Sorry, i couldn't find a hamster pic I liked... wish I knew what I did with the ones I took of Sprite's she used to have... cute black bear one...

12:55 pm

Anj...aaahhh...unfortunately, my co. is downsizing...

12:55 pm

Just started here, fairfax area... I saw a lot of MD schools were closing early... not us yet...

12:57 pm

T-Owl - didn't mean to imply you were a washcloth... (Sorry!) Talk to you later!!

12:57 pm

EB, aren't they all : / I'm leaving the job-hunt for the new year now tho' I feel a cool yule coming on : D

12:58 pm

MD schools are closing early? That's odd there isn't even any snow falling yet

12:58 pm

Anj - that's the spirit... When you least expect it, the opportunities abound!

12:58 pm

Sign, snow MAY come down. good enough to close MD schools. Need to do some checking bbl

12:59 pm

bye Deutsch!

1:00 pm

I think so... maybe they were just cancelling evening stuff... it wasn't me so I wasn't paying very close attention...

1:01 pm

can anyone give clues for: ha6/21 ha5/20 he5/14 (i have the one that means piles) thank you!! :)

1:01 pm

Whoo-hoo I found a hamm-hamm!

1:14 pm

thanks, got it. But anyone know what it means?

1:17 pm

...not a clue. Even the Internet is being a bit coy about that one. Maybe it just means big melons... ROFLMAO!!! : ' D

1:17 pm

type of gauntlet

1:17 pm

It seems to be an old form of "Gauntlet"

1:18 pm

efor - did you find that ha6/21? i've been looking for it since you asked......... can't see it! :/

1:20 pm

...eh? Gauntlet?? My pesky lead took me a-tiptoeing thru' the cantaloupes...

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

anj- american heritage dictionary......

1:22 pm

HI all!!!! Happy Monday (choke, gag, cough)...... Don't know if I'm going to play today - just popping in to say hello..... and didn't want to waste my perfectly good teddy bear hamster photo!!!!!

1:26 pm

Hiya MIya : D Go?? where??

1:26 pm

Yeah, I saw how big the thing was and I know I won't have enough time today to devote to it, so I might not even tease myself with it..... didn't play yesterday either...... might have to pursue therapy.

1:26 pm

I'm happy to see you, too Babbler!!!!!!! *wink*

1:27 pm

efor, thx for the ha6 clue...I was going to eat lunch, now maybe I'll fast...that brings me to 200, I'm out of here, thx for all the help fellow babblers, good luck on the big grid

1:27 pm

I noticed you weren't here yesterday.... : ( I wasn't going to play.... but then I entered a word "by accident"..... ooops!! do you like my icon? I drawed it by myself!!!!! :D

1:28 pm

Babbler, you drew your icon? I'm impressed and it's very cute! dog having a spas, BBL

1:31 pm

This weekend was a blur. Christmas shopping and yesterday was rehearsal for our annual Christmas Concert - which is on Sunday.... you're hamster drawing is adorable!!! I know Easternblue draws icons too. I don't know how to do that.... *puts lip out*

1:32 pm

lol - put your lip back! go to start, accessories, and you'll see Paint or equivalent. : ) EB inspired me!

1:33 pm

Anj, wherever you want! Sorry, Meguru's fault. He does this to me.

1:34 pm

Meguru? I know i'm going to regret this, but (lol!) who's Meguru???

1:34 pm

Hi everyone!! Mama -- your absence was felt last night! *Hug*

1:35 pm

hi GW *hugs* : )

1:35 pm

awwww geee, GW *mamabear looks down and kicks at a paperclip on the floor*

1:36 pm

Hey Woulf! :) Anj (*hiding cheesy grin*) Meguru is some guy out of Panikku Channeru (please don't ask) with a really addictive voice. Sounds like a deep toddler

1:36 pm

Couldn't find a hamster that worked for me, so instead I'm grinning looking at all the snacks running around me ;D

1:37 pm

*Hugs for Babbler and Miy*

1:37 pm

LOL, GW!!!! You can't catch me......zzzzzzzzziiiiiiipppppp ppppppppppppppp, nana nana poo poo!

hey gw!

1:37 pm

Hi, Temple -- ready for more snow?

1:38 pm

mine's inedible, GW..... !! :D

1:38 pm

Yay :D I like hugs :D Anj, a sample being "I beelee what you say Soonday, I be wiz wa-wa!" God knows what he was attempting to say!

1:38 pm

Hi GW : ) *proffers manly handshake* Miya, Panikku Channeru? How deep does THIS rabbit hole go???

1:39 pm

Woulf, I'm not sure how well the fans would take it if you ate X Japan's guitarist!

gw : % P

1:39 pm

Hello, Anj -- *takes hand in firm grip and pulls in for a friendly hug*fdd

1:39 pm

He'd have to use an eraser instead of his teeth!!!!!

1:40 pm

Baby is helping me type, can you tell? ad s

1:40 pm

*Babs in stitches cos Anj has to hug a fella*

1:40 pm

DONE>>>>anyone need a clue???

1:40 pm

Help! I'm being hugged! : D

1:41 pm

welcome lizard

1:41 pm

*runs in and rugby-tackles anj*

1:41 pm

BRAVO Ouwachita !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 hats off to you! :D

1:41 pm

just go with it, Anj!!!!!!

1:41 pm

Babbler -- I've actually been inspired by Nemo -- my new motto is "Hamsters are friends -- Not food!"

1:41 pm

Anj, apparently it's Japanglish for Panic Channel. If they want to say something which there aren't words for in Japanese, you just double random letters and add a U on the end :/ Miyavi changed the word Nightingale to Naichingeruu.

1:42 pm

you're gonna be a very hungry wolf this winter, GW!

1:42 pm

Oh, Engrish, now I understand that : )

1:42 pm

hello, daeng, are you there?

1:42 pm

following that motto will make you a scant woulf!!!!

1:43 pm

Ouwachita, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love a clue for sp 6/ 21 sp 5/ 12 they're at the bottom of the list.......... bugged me for hours! ty so much :)

1:43 pm

If I were to be reliant on HAMSTERS in the wild, just how well fed do you think I'd be, folks? :D

1:44 pm

details, details....

1:44 pm

:D The universal language. Though when a Japanese guy on a forum thought "Spank" was another term for Snack, that's when it starts to go wrong

1:44 pm

Ahh, I'm back and see the woulf has joined us. Hi everyone! My dog says bark!

1:45 pm

Hi Deutsch! Woof to dog!

1:45 pm

how is the puzzle today everyone? i stopped lastnight at 141 and now nothing seems to be jumping out at me.

1:45 pm

Hi Deutsch : ) My cat says 'WOOF' : )

1:46 pm

nava - this is how far I'VE gotten... (No words entered yet)

1:46 pm

any clues for the second ca6 -- I have the roman one

1:46 pm

Woulf, just as long as you stay away from my icon as well! If you eat him, the fans will be upset :)

1:46 pm

it's like wading through thick mud, nava.... :/

1:46 pm

yipes...perhaps my hamster lifted a bit too much iron... did i knock out anj when i tackled him??

1:46 pm

sp 5/12 sp + another name for beer.

1:46 pm

hi, I just signed on for the first time. My sister is teaching me the proper way to play. so far I think this is the best.

1:47 pm

miy - i'd just be hungry in an hour anyway... ;)

1:47 pm

ga4-6 dinner menu: ee4-4, an8-45, ca5-14, ha6-24, pe4-4 & sl4-4 ge6-24

1:47 pm

*big cheesy grin* I know a girl with a cat called Spanky :D

1:47 pm

pbr, i've just got a ca6 - Truman Ca......

1:47 pm

Anyone like my icon....? I like to think it's what Bruce Lee would be like if he'd been reincarnated as a hamster....lol

1:48 pm

Anj, give your cat a pet from me. It's good to be bilingual. My cat is busy getting into trouble at the mo!

1:48 pm

LOL GW!!!!! On THAT note, I better get back to work!!!! Have a good day everyone..... *hugs to all... esp GW & Babbler*

1:48 pm

i like your icon, movieman/punster. : D

1:48 pm

Later mama! (((hugs back))) nice icon, movie!

1:49 pm

Anj--thx bunches

1:49 pm

:'( .. *waves tearful b'bye to Mamabear*

1:49 pm

*pulls Hide away from Woulf* noooo! Oh wait, he's already dead...

1:49 pm

So long, Mama - try not to work too hard! (*Big Hug*)

1:49 pm

anj -- the other one is a type of salad

1:50 pm

Cheers pbr - good trade : )

bye, mama! c u tomorrow!

1:52 pm

thx katmayo, but I already had that one. do you happen to have the one at the bottom of the list? seems to be eluding me.... :/ ty

1:53 pm

...later Mama : )

1:53 pm

Okay, one thing I'll say about Panic Channel. A man called Tara. o_O

1:55 pm

Miya, there are a lot worse handles for a bloke going. Mind you Tara is pretty tame for j-rock. Esmerelda would be more of a challenge : D

1:55 pm

evening all :) Babs - sp5 - is it the one that sounds like the German for 'play'? (remember 'Jeux sans Frontieres'?)

1:56 pm

hi sherb : D thx.......... lemme see if i can find it..... *concentrates*.....

1:56 pm

oooh, it plurals as well : ) Cheers Sherb

1:59 pm

Babbler, King of DJs, John... *GRHS* with an S on the front : ) ...and then the end : D

1:59 pm

2:00 pm

Babs - also sounds like what surrounds an orange ;)

2:00 pm

humph! tried everything BUT THAT!!! *strops off to have dinner* (thx Anj! :D )

2:00 pm

deutsch- your hamsters are cuuuuuuute

2:00 pm

2:00 pm

welcome beebee...bijou...

2:01 pm

I'm at 250 words right now...... and I feel very nervous! I feel I have to hit 'save' or something!!! LOL! :D

2:01 pm

anj...how about a clue for those across the pond : )

2:01 pm

Hi, beebee & sherb!

2:02 pm

...did I just see the word jockstrap?

2:03 pm

hi GW :) Miy - is that Yoko Ono? *ducks behind the sofa*

2:03 pm

Temple, he DJ'd over there as well...in fact it's where he got his taste for decent music. As Sherb said, apple or orange p.... (skin) with added s : )

2:03 pm

Sherb, don't worry, you can come out :) It's a, um, guy. Hide...Hideto :)

2:03 pm

T-owl - "Takes a nap" backards

2:04 pm

hey GW- how's your daughter? i hope she's better. Where is your hamster?

2:06 pm

Hi guys, I'm back :)

2:06 pm

<<<<<<<<<I'm done

2:06 pm

ok, the prize for hamster of the day has to go to torgone...Hamster MC, cool...!

2:06 pm

*Anj dives on Lola and gives her a big 'missed-you' hug* Hi babe (((xxx))) : D

2:07 pm

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa judi

hey lola! and bee bee, judiirae, torgone ty

2:07 pm

beebee -- my daughter is doing great -- she was fully recovered by Saturday - thx for asking ;) as for the icon -- I explained it earlier -- I'm being amused by the antics of snacks :D

2:07 pm

hey temple- how's it going?

2:07 pm

Hi Lola! WTG Judie!

2:08 pm

Hi babe! Missed you too (((((xxx))))

2:08 pm

Hey Lola :) Hmm...can't find a picture of a hamster that isn't sickeningly sweet and cutey. Will a shot of Kyo's slightly venemous bad-tempered gerbils do instead?

2:08 pm

*waves from a discreet distance* hi lola :)

2:08 pm

Woot! Judi : ) Miya, they sound OK lol. Are they cosplay gerbils??

2:10 pm

Not cosplay gerbils...just, you know the thing about how dogs are supposed to look like their owners? Kyo's gerbils look like him :/

2:10 pm

Anj, are you finished yet babe?

2:11 pm

No, but iv'e found 226 in 2 hours : ) I've also found that I'm not too keen on the letter A anymore... : / Miya, at least we know what to expect then lol : )

2:12 pm

yup! I just didn't realize a gerbil could look so pyschopathic *runs off to try and find picture*

2:13 pm

Know what you mean. For the life of me I cannot see the ap5/12 or ap6/21. Can anyone help, please?

has everyone seen the hamster dance website? anj, the badger one reminded me of it...

2:13 pm

ap5/12 is a dangerous sleep disorder related to one's breathing

2:13 pm

sorry, I'm leaving the A's til last...what kind of a gameplan was that?!

lola - a sleep disorder - when you wake up to grab a breath...

2:14 pm

2:22 pm

Oh go on temple...you know you want to! :D

2:22 pm

speaking of hamsters and badgers --- I hope everyone has seen the Santa Badgers ;)

2:22 pm

*gives mab a big hug* (((((mab))))) You were right. It was nothing to fear. Even the drink stuff wasn't bad. All done in 40 minutes. LOL thanks for your encouragement!

2:23 pm

my day was aliens

2:23 pm

Hi, Mab!

2:23 pm

Santa Badgers?!

2:23 pm

Oh good! I hope you get a good result.

Hi boreetos! Yes, Temple. It was cool!

2:25 pm

Hi boreetos! :)

2:25 pm

2:31 pm

I must say, Miy, I'm a little alarmed to know there is a j-rocker that resembles a gerbil. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

2:33 pm

ooooh, THOSE badgers. I think that badgerbadgerbadger site gives me seizures o_O thanks Anj :)

2:33 pm

Miy - sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you -- figured the follow up posts would serve the purpose Anj - thanks for watching my back :)

2:35 pm

The aa4 that sounds like a man's name, boreetos?

2:37 pm

mab, no I got that one, and it actually comes from the a above it. That's what I was confused. I think its the ar4.

2:37 pm

no nevermind, mab, I have the ar4 already too.

2:38 pm

Don't worry Woulf :) Mab...he's a weird j-rocker. Even by j-rock standards

2:38 pm

it must be an ax word.

2:39 pm

yea, i found it. thanks anyhow! :)

2:39 pm

Both sound like a car part. One is spelled properly and the other is a homonym.

2:39 pm

boreetos - it looks like a var spelling of the shaft on a car that the wheels attach to

am missing the last sp5/12 - may i have a clue please?

2:41 pm

Temple - sp5/12 - what you did with your money when you went shopping ;)

2:42 pm

Help with the wa6/30, pls?

2:42 pm

ok, i got the first one, and it definatley sounds like a car part, but the other? a homonym? dual meanings? What are the meanings?

2:43 pm

boreetos - it IS the car part

2:44 pm

Someone pass the fish to boreetos!

2:44 pm

ok, the one I've got has two of the same vowel in the first and third spots, and it sounds like a car part. How is the other one different?

2:44 pm

yeah and hit me in the face with it. Sheesh. thanks I am thick!

2:45 pm

GW - it means 'wrestle', and it begins with a conflict...

2:45 pm

i've got it, thanks people. Your patience is very appreciated.

boreetos hand me that fish....

2:46 pm

2:58 pm

well, i've still got 180 words left to find. But its the end of my lunch break, so I'll see you all again at around 2:30pm WST. :)

2:58 pm

Yoink, hi. Is your hamster holding nunchuks, or whatever those things are called. He's a ninja hamster. Cute.

2:59 pm

Thanks hurshy.

2:59 pm

Yeah Mab, you can get them in card shops and places like that, you squeeze it's paw and it sings "kung-fu fighting"

3:00 pm

I think that might be too cute...

3:00 pm

And it spins its nunchuck thingy round

3:02 pm

Well, I guess I admire a hamster that can defend him or herself. Hamster power. Power to the hamsters.

3:02 pm

mab - it is, hearing a hamster voice shouting "heeya!" is just too much! :)

3:05 pm

*fitting hamster-proof locks on the windows*

3:05 pm

I'd be scared, gw.

3:05 pm

Oh, sensible Miyavi.

3:05 pm

mab - fear is the mind killer

3:05 pm

girl hamsters like boy hamsters with skills!

3:06 pm

Yoink - I think your hamster and mine should team up, they'd make an excellent kung-fu fighting duo...lol...

3:06 pm

deutsch, they also like them in uniform :)

3:07 pm

It's good to have skills to fall back on in case being cute and fuzzy doesn;t work for one.

3:07 pm

any help with en7?

3:07 pm

LOL, Lola! Is that a conductor's baton in your little paw!

3:09 pm

deutsch, no! My little fellow is in westpoint uniform I think and has a cute little sword :)

3:09 pm

I have the strangest urge to go create a j-rock hamster

3:09 pm

Yeah Movieman, they could be a killer combo!

3:10 pm

Miy -And you are resisting - why?

3:10 pm

pbr, it builds off your en4/4. Think passing ph*** and add the last three letters :)

3:11 pm

LOL, there is also a bride hamster that sings "chapel of love" and a "dancing hamster party girl" that sings "Party all the time" (whatever that is)

3:11 pm

*hugs Woulf* I have always loved you for your sinceriosity. And I must go make my j-rock hamster!

3:11 pm

I'll call him Spanky

3:12 pm

Of course, Lola! How could I been so blind?! lol

3:12 pm

And, of course, there is the Groundhog that dances to 'I'm all right" from Caddyshack

3:13 pm

3:24 pm

It's nice to be indispensible, isn't it mama? That's how they should make you feel, but I'm sure they don't.

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

G'bye, MAMA

3:30 pm

bye, mama! Karys, finally got your clue! lol!

mamabear - i for one truly do not understand...if you knew the industry you wouldn't either - but we will not close unless we have over a foot and even in those cases they would open late - the problem is no parking and we are in the city so it leaves few options...(i think it's wimpy)

oooh - bye, mama and everyone!

3:30 pm

3:32 pm

Karys - agreed -- very sad indeed! ;D

3:54 pm

Hi Speed : )

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

Hi Deutsch -- massachusetts, waiting for the snow to come up the coast, and u?

3:56 pm

3:58 pm

tee hee..... I want gateau LOL!

3:58 pm

aknitter, I'm down here in Baltimore. They closed most of the schools already. People panic here, they're not used to it like you hearty lot! LOL

3:58 pm

or even gateaux, lol!

3:58 pm

Babbler I tried gateaux several times not believeing that it wasn't there!

3:58 pm

that too, sherb! :)

3:59 pm

i am dreading tomorrow if my kids stay home, it is my only day off and i was looking forward to the quiet LOL

3:59 pm

Hi Aknitter. Where in MA are you from? I live North of Boston in Stoneham. Or have we had this conversation before and I don't remember? Either way I don't remember.

3:59 pm

minski i live in plymouth, home of thanksgiving!

4:01 pm

Ah! Now I remember. We have indeed had this conversation. I grew up in Hingham and have never been to Plymouth Plantation although I have gotten lost in Plymouth a couple of times trying to avoid traffic jams on the way to the Cape.

4:01 pm

4-8 inches of snow are heading my way -- ugh i am next to the cape cod canal

4:01 pm

anyone got the last ga 5/ 14, pls? ty I have to call my Mum, wanna find it before I do.... : )

4:01 pm

Hi Minski! We're only suppoesd to get 2-4 here in baltimore, but that's enough to keep kids home and people screaming in the streets grasping their toilet paper! LOL

4:02 pm

s'alright.... gottit...... off to call my Mum back later :D

4:02 pm

Time for me to go - need to restock the larder [and NOT because of the snow, shelves are nearly bare ;) ] I'll try to be back later-- only have 86 to go :) (*Hugs to everyone*)

4:02 pm

Babs, plural of ga4/6? Only one I have right now.

4:02 pm

Deutsch -- i'll give you extra words if you keep the snow in baltimore

4:04 pm

Yeah. I've been following the news. We are in the 1 -3 inch area. Too bad. We wanted more so Hubby could call in sick and we could play in the snow with baby some more.

4:04 pm

Mab, another one from Mass. *considers aknitter's offer* I'll see what I can do! I'm from the midwest were we, too, can handle a few inches. Fun to watch the natives here panic!

4:05 pm

And, Deutsch, the newscasters will be advising people not to leave there homes for any reason. Danger! Danger!

4:05 pm

minski i will gladly send it up north, i truely believe that i was born in hawaii but by some cruel joke was switched at bith with a massachusetts kid. i hate the cold

4:06 pm

Deutsch ~ I went to American University in Washington DC for college and lived there for a few years afterwards. I remember well the reaction of that area to a few flakes of snow. RIDICULOUS!! Washington DC shuts down if there's even the threat of snow.

4:06 pm

babbler - its one of those prisons.....

4:07 pm

It is expected, an inch here in the wild west of Mass.

4:07 pm

Yes, I was shocked my first winter here when everything closed for the THREAT of snow!

4:08 pm

Are we on a hamster day? Do I have to go and photograph Roger?

4:09 pm

granadan, yes, it's hamster day. I'm running for president.

4:09 pm

i'm off to prepare dinner, there are hungry faces staring at me!!

4:09 pm

Mab I love the western part of MA. Hubby and Paigey and I spent Memorial Day Weekend (our anniversary weekend) out there. Stockbridge, Great Barrington, Lee, etc. The Norman Rockwell Museum. Old Sturbridge Village (aobut 1/2 way between you and me) and otehr places. I also went to grad school at UMASS Amherst so love the area. Where out there are you?

4:10 pm

So true. In DC school and business closings are announced before the snow. Now, right now, is the time to panic.

4:10 pm

back again...'phone calls get in the way !!

4:10 pm

fair-well fellow massachusetts-ites. be back later to complete this beast

4:11 pm

I once had a student (college) tell me it LOOKED like ice was on the street so she couldn't drive in. There was no ice, only wetness!

4:12 pm

bye aknitter!

4:13 pm

back for more, Karys? I'm very slow today. 172 left to go. sigh

4:13 pm

I'm in Northampton, Minski. Started grad school in social work at Smith, but got sick. I have felt stuck here, unable to get back to DC or travel about the state. It's pretty here, but I long for the city.

4:14 pm

Bye knitter.

4:14 pm

55 here Deutsch

4:15 pm

Aarg!

4:15 pm

Yeah. It is a bit far from Boston. I couldn't live out there again. It's just for visiting.

4:24 pm

4:24 pm

se8, all the letters you need are in the top two rows. se plus three letter mans name (***ny henry for example) plus past tense 'to consume' :)

4:24 pm

Had to take phone call and change picture...never get this puzzle done!!

4:24 pm

5:16 pm

thanks lola : )

5:17 pm

hey, is anyone well acquainted with burns, and how to tell what stage a burn is?

5:17 pm

Every time I tell that (TRUE - I promise) story I get visions of elastic bands! OUCH

5:17 pm

thanks so much mab and lola ....i would never have got those !!! ty ty ty

5:18 pm

evanonut, er...why??

5:18 pm

oops and thanks mab :)

5:19 pm

lola, burnt myself yesterday, looks a little worse than most.

5:19 pm

Evanonut, if you're hearing: My Luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June. O, my Luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune. ...it's the first verse ; )

5:20 pm

No evanonut but lots cold water and ring a doctor if you think its deep - Don't burst a blister if theres one & dont put anything except water on it

5:20 pm

lavender oil is good for burns. but you need to find out what kind of burn you've got. what happened?

5:20 pm

evanonut, I wouldn't mess around then. Go to a doctor, you don't want it to get infected.

5:21 pm

had a run in with the wood burner, it turned crispy white.

5:21 pm

how big? how deep? where?

5:22 pm

eek! OK, sorry for the bad poetic humour : /

5:22 pm

the burn, not the wood burner!!

5:22 pm

blotchy red all around it, never got to blister cause skin dragged away from it.

5:22 pm

just on my finger, on the back

5:23 pm

how have you treated it so far?

5:23 pm

*lola snogs Anj in the jacuzzi to keep him from any more bad poetic humour*

5:24 pm

hit it with cold water for five minutes

5:24 pm

Grey Woulf's wife is a nurse. if he comes in when you're on, ask him if he wouldn't mind asking her. do you have any lavendar oil?

5:24 pm

I'd keep it dry and keep an eye on it Eva. Any sign of it getting slushy get it to the doctor. Would your pharmacist look at it for you? they will give advice here if you ask.

5:25 pm

no lavender oil ;here

5:25 pm

don't even have aloe. just keeping t clean

5:25 pm

anything else antiseptic? what does everyone think? honey is a natural antiseptic, but is it ok for burns?

5:26 pm

eva, I would call doctor. Perhaps s/he can advise you over the phone.

5:26 pm

well, i do have the generic neosporin

5:26 pm

According to sources, no nothing apart from cold water and medical treatment, especially for hand burns. I would get it looked at Eva

5:27 pm

I'm with Anj on this one, get it seen to.

5:28 pm

How are burns treated? Immediately cool small burns under cold running water for at least ten minutes, or rinse chemical burns for 20 minutes. (Briefly rinse larger burns, avoid excessive cooling). Remove clothes in the area of the burn. Then either wrap the burned area in a clean plastic bag or place a clean smooth material over the burn to prevent infection. Minor burns can be treated at home with pain relief and sterile dressings (don't pop blisters). But deep or extensive burns, or burns to the face, hands or across joints, need to be fully assessed and treated in hospital.

5:28 pm

i'll make the call about calling the dr. tomorrow

5:28 pm

apologies for long post

5:28 pm

1sr Aid booklet says keep clean & dry Eva. I wouldn't put anything at all on it if you have an open wound. I think once you have new skin you could consider something soothing then

5:29 pm

tx babbler, i rarely trust websites i find, cause how do i know if it is valid info

5:29 pm

i went to bbc.co.uk/health. deffo can be trusted!! :D

5:29 pm

I have put baking soda on my burns to take away the sting (of a minor kitchen burn)...I never understood why this works.

5:30 pm

anywway, it sucks.

5:30 pm

evan's skin came away, which is why i was worried about what to suggest

5:31 pm

go see your doctor tomorrow, evan. don't wait.

5:31 pm

I have to get some sleep now. Goodnight everyone, see you tomorrow :) 'nite babe, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow (((xxx)))

5:31 pm

and according to you guys i'm on the right track. that's what i wanted to know. i had been debating a bandaid, but i didn't think it would be a good idea.

5:31 pm

nite Lola. sweet dreams!! : )

5:31 pm

Night Lola - sweet dreams

5:31 pm

Night Lola, take care babe (((xx))) : D

5:31 pm

oops, except babbler

5:31 pm

Sleep well, Lola.

5:31 pm

Goodnight Lola :)

5:32 pm

night-o lola

5:33 pm

that burn sounds painful evan...I hope you feel better soon.

5:34 pm

We have a dry dressing here Eva -it has a non stick side - its called melolin - would recommend that if you have similar. Burns are such a drag. Have taken to regularly burning my forearms on the oven & iron recently - someone asked if I'd been self harming!

5:34 pm

tell us what the doc says tomorrow, evan. if you can't see him/her, just go to your local hospital, or the pharmacy as someone else suggested. yeah?

5:34 pm

not as painful as i thought it would be. i can poke it without pain.

5:34 pm

eeeuuuuwwwwww *shudders* :)

5:35 pm

not so sure i'm going. if it don't look worse, i'm not going. doesn't look infected or anything

5:35 pm

you might have killed a few nerve endings. don't worry, they'll grow back.

5:36 pm

I've done a similar thing to a finger and it took weeks to heal : /

5:36 pm

What are the symptoms? There may be obvious and immediate damage to the skin, which may be very painful. In partial thickness burns the skin may be pink, red or mottled and blistering may be seen. In full thickness burns the top layer of the skin is destroyed and may look white or black and charred. Most importantly, full thickness burns are painless as the nerves carrying pain signals have been destroyed.

5:37 pm

go get help tomorrow. signed, Dr Babs

5:38 pm

i still don't think it's quite that bad. it's kinda corpse white around where the skin came off, but i think its cause that skin is dead.

5:41 pm

evening all. :)

5:41 pm

he he. dr. babs, i like that

5:41 pm

Hi Eva

6:04 pm

Temple....po6/27.....thick old fashioned soup

po6 is a old word for a soup. Think what you cook in and your years!

6:06 pm

Sorry EvaNadine, i'm on/off site like a lunatic at the moment, hence the glacial response times. Hope you're well : )

6:06 pm

6:14 pm

I too need PO 7/32...just cannot see it tonight...

6:14 pm

see...snowy...thats what I thought too....must be an age thing !!!

6:15 pm

po7...its some sort of food isn't it someone ??

6:16 pm

Anj Badgers LOL especially after a medieval carol concert......!!!!

6:17 pm

probably Karys everything else is! the only good thing about getting older is that you have something to blame - OH - A first today - my 27 yr old told me I was right - hows that for a breakthrough!

6:17 pm

Hello...to all other crazy babblers

6:17 pm

The PO word is sitting in my fridge...thought of serving it for supper tonight!!!! fish time.

6:17 pm

hi tbear

6:18 pm

Snowyowl - I've just consulted my husband - cattle can be classed as mature from 15 months onwards so the bull in the picture might not be that old in terms of age.

6:18 pm

hope you noted it on the calender snowy !!!....can celebrate it next year then !!

6:18 pm

haz, why so technical? taking all the fun out of the disagreement.

6:19 pm

there you are then Kat...knew it was something 'foody'

6:19 pm

TY Haz - mind you being right twice in a day may go to my head! LOL

6:19 pm

i'm sure that big mean looking bull would take offense to being labelled immature.

6:19 pm

sorry....Hi tbear...:)

6:20 pm

do you two wanna go tell it it is immature? i don't. i'll just tell it its a bull.

6:20 pm

LOL Eva put that in human terms and aren't most of the 'bulls' you know immature! lol

6:21 pm

evan...you could go and coo in it's ear...I'm sure it would like that however old it is !!!

6:21 pm

oh dear snowy. looks like it comes in threes!

6:22 pm

karys, you go coo in its ears, i'll be on the other side of the fence with a video camera.

6:23 pm

I think I'd like this game even better if you could move the letters around a bit! Found some brill words that just need that letter at the bottom of the grid

6:23 pm

does it not like people then...!!....praps be safer with you I think !!

6:24 pm

I wonder why all the good words are always missing one letter...mostly the last letter !!

6:24 pm

oh dear... was that a cheap shot? * scratches chin thoughtfully *

6:25 pm

don't think so evan....I bow to your greater knowledge since the nearest I ever came to a bull was about two fields away !!!

6:26 pm

but you must admit he does look really nice !!

6:27 pm

our last bulls name was scooby - i was scared as heck of him, had nightmares of him coming after me. he just looked menacing. i'm thinking i definitely wouldn't whisper in his ear ;-)

6:27 pm

po 7: spanish cornmeal mush

6:28 pm

do you get to be fond of them evan ?

6:29 pm

i do karys, i so fond of miracle, i'm thinking of buying her from my mother in law to save her from the butcher.

6:29 pm

oh dear evan....that must make it soooo hard !!!

6:29 pm

i don't care to eat a miracle burger. the first burger i ate that i knew first was adam.

6:30 pm

They have such nice faces too! It's the same with polar bears and koalas. they look sweet and they're really dangerous. Bit like my mother in law!LOL

6:30 pm

gee snowy, hope she doesn't babble

6:31 pm

I don't think I could do it evan....I know it has to be ...and I am a very practical person normally..but I think i would find it too difficult !!

6:32 pm

7:25 pm

cybernan, sa4 - opposite of crazy

7:26 pm

sorry, that was a clue for a sa4/4

7:27 pm

afternoon

7:31 pm

hi harpjane, it is 8:30 pm where I am.

7:34 pm

It's 6:30 p.m. in Montana. Technically, not afternoon, I guess. But I'm just leaving work.

7:35 pm

Time to make supper -- back later.

7:39 pm

Need help with se7x2 and se8, and sp7 and sp8.

7:41 pm

sp8 is sp4/5 + ce4/5

7:43 pm

Une, thanks, found the sp8, never heard of the word

7:45 pm

Need help with the wa6 please

7:45 pm

me either!

7:46 pm

Une, do you have the other S words I am looking for?

7:54 pm

WA is a scottish word that has something to do with what the WWF is famous for--rhymes with morsel, but spelling is VERY strange

7:59 pm

does anyone have a clue for as 6/21 and as 6/18??? I just can't seem to get them...

7:59 pm

Hi, just got in from writing Christmas cards and then chilling out on eastoftheweb word games. Anyone need any clues while I finish my drink?

8:01 pm

peri, i'm lookin' for a definition . . .

8:02 pm

Circe. Hi. Welcome to Babble. Don't think I've seen your name on here before? as6/18 - Add a vowel to the start of your first sl5/10, or, think of what italic type does. as6/21 - Add a vowel at the start of your 3rd sl5/12, or, think what you ski down... a sl***.

8:02 pm

Thanks, Jacula. Still plugging along here..up to the s's, tho!

8:03 pm

Hi Artlady. I thought you'd gone.

8:03 pm

se7/28 is se4/4 + a picnic pest

8:03 pm

Thank you Jacula! I've been around, I'm just a lurker :)

8:04 pm

Nope, still here...86 to go!

8:05 pm

ArtLady - I love your sketches of yourself! I used to illustrate for a short while. Must find the Xmas family cartoon I once did. I'd love to see a pic of me by you though! No, not asking for a freebie. LOL.

8:06 pm

se7/32 is the plural of se6/21 . . . crystal ball, manifestations from the spirit world, levitating table . . .

8:06 pm

Artlady - just yell if you need a clue. Circe - Hope the clues have helped? Uni - Hi!

8:07 pm

hey, jacula!

8:08 pm

se6 & se7 - Hold hands around a table and one asks, 'Is there anybody there?'

8:08 pm

Thanks, Jac, and thanks, Jac! I made a cartoon version of myself for a bulletin board at school. It also is stuck to the window of my classroom door--just in case anyone forgets what I look like... ;-)

8:08 pm

Yes Jacula, I finally got them! Thanks so very much!

8:09 pm

peri, did you find the "s" words you were looking for?

8:10 pm

Circe - Glad to be of help. Artlady - LOL. Incidentally, are your specs really pale blue? I ask because my late Gran's were and that's the one thing I wanted as my keepsake of her. Specs are such a nice personal keepsake, I think.

8:11 pm

I rather like my knitting hamster icon. Think I might keep it for a while.:-)

8:12 pm

Jacula, actually they're rimless with pale blue nosepiece and earpieces. I'm getting a new pair (dratted eyes keep getting worse) and they have purple ear pieces with blue nose...getting colorful!

8:13 pm

I found a rather nice alien hippy for 'alien' theme day. Dn't think I posted on the log that day though, so that's another I've yet to use.

8:13 pm

jac, think your hamster could work on my daughter's Christmas present? It's a white scarf and I keep babbling instead of knitting...

8:14 pm

Artlady - Nothing wrong with being colourful! My specs are rimless, too, but have gold nosepiece and edges.

8:15 pm

I was going to go for red and blue on the new ones, but chickened out. Purple goes better with my hair.. ;-)

8:16 pm

Artlady - I'll ask her. Her name's Fluff, btw. She reminds me of a truly gold hamster we once had. She was gorgeous and liked toast for breakfast. *Jacq consults the hamster in the sky.* Artlady - Fluff says you should be able to multi-task. In other words, you can Babble and knit. LOL.

8:17 pm

shouldn't that discussion be about rimles sp5-14

8:18 pm

lol

8:18 pm

Actually, they're t2's...the brand, that is... ;-)

8:19 pm

jac, my husband thinks I should be able to multi-task too...but babbling isn't part of what he thinks I should be doing right now!

8:19 pm

Artlady - Silver or white hair looks lovely and goes with everything. The only way silver hair looks horrible is if you put that awful 'Grey Away' type stuff on it. Then, as I told my Mum when she tried it for a while, it looks like you've dipped your head in the teapot. Stay natural once the whole lot's gone silver, INMHO.

8:21 pm

pthomp - LOL. Artlady - my other half's not keen on me spending too long on this puzzle either.

8:21 pm

jac, I knew I'd never keep up coloring it and believe in being myself, anyway. It's actually turning out pretty good. I started in my 20's (greying, that is)

8:22 pm

evening all..am puzzling about the 10 letter word..and one more 9 letter word..not the graceful animall

8:24 pm

any help available?

8:24 pm

Artlady - I know more than a couple of people who started greying in their 20s. My Dad's Mum was white at 21 (but we think that was the result of her 1st hubby being killed in WW1), my Dad started going grey in his 20s, a girl at my bank did the same and my partner's ex-wife did, too.

8:26 pm

My dad had white hair at 20, too. Hi Liana!

8:26 pm

hi, art lady :)

8:26 pm

Hi Kate. That 9 & 10 are related to the graceful animals you're talking about in that they are in there but with a different first letter. I've looked up the word, since it has no given meaning in the dictionaries, and it seems to be a strange spelling of an old word for gauntlet/s.

8:26 pm

top left corner + an8-45 then plural

8:28 pm

I have no idea why, but the 9 & 10 were the first words I saw in the grid after 'gentle' (which isn't there).

8:28 pm

still looking for one of the last two sa 4/5's -- have the one that comes from trees

8:29 pm

g 9 & 10 (the plural): Put the appropriate consonant in front of the graceful animal.

8:29 pm

sa 4/5...small bags, sort of

8:30 pm

Cybernan - last 2 sa4/5s. One is a Bible character just one initial letter different to the chap who had a vision on the road to Damascus. The other is what you might have to see how you baby is doing when you are pregnant.

8:32 pm

Thank you -- it was the biblical man I was missing.

8:32 pm

Cybernan - Glad you got it. I could have named my partner as a clue, but didn't want to make it TOO easy. LOL.

8:34 pm

Mind you, I do wonder how the Biblical man is allowed in the grid, since he is a Proper Noun.

8:35 pm

The Road to Damascus chap isn't allowed!

8:35 pm

down to the last 6 -- to's and w's - need help, please: to 6/18 , 7/28 combo the next to 4/5 wa 6/30 wa 4/9 wa 5/20 -- all three just ahead of the stinging insect

8:36 pm

Down to the last 35, here...

8:36 pm

to6/18 & 7/28 plural - A hydrocarbon, C14H10, related both to the acetylene and the aromatic series, and produced artificially as a white crystalline substance; -- called also diphenyl acetylene.

8:37 pm

waah, i just got started and i'm ready to got to sleep!!!

8:38 pm

wa6/30 - I saw a good clue for this earlier from Lola, I think. Opposite of peace + what Santa rides on minus the last letter.

8:40 pm

Onyx, it's a monster!

8:40 pm

For the wa4/9 and plural 5/20, which come after the annoying stinging thing and its plural, think what noise courting cats or really bad singers make... they caterwa**.

8:41 pm

Onyx - If you're really ready to sleep, I'd advise you not to begin.

8:41 pm

cyber..thanks for the clues..but I monkey typed and even went to A2Z...i cannot figure it out~~~~~!!!!!!!!!

8:43 pm

Kate - Those graceful animals I assume you already have? Springboks, impalas etc.? Just add the first letter of the word you are looking for to both words.

8:43 pm

thank you Jacula - got the w's -- googled the to chemical, but that didn't help.

8:44 pm

cybernan...use the reverse dictionary onelook.com

8:44 pm

liankate: g 9 = g + an 8/45

8:45 pm

Cybernan - just add the 2nd vowel in the vowel list to your to5/10 above them, then the usual consonant for a plural to get the other one.

8:45 pm

i found them, cyber..and felt, uhhhhh..quite Polish..(which I am)...i was making it more difficult than needs be...LOL

8:46 pm

too late i got sucked in, btw jac, glad you stayed around

8:47 pm

Kate - funny you should say that about making it more difficult than it is. Earlier in the log, people were saying, 'Don't overthink the big words'. LOL. I didn't see the log before I got the words, I just tried them because they seemed so daft.

8:49 pm

Onyx - Thanks. Wasn't away as such, was just catching my breath and trying not to breathe in the germs of 3 kids snotting and snuffling their ways through the weekend! Plus, I've written 32 Xmas cards tonight.

8:50 pm

AaooroowaOOWW! Welcome back Jacula! (*HUG*)

8:50 pm

i thought i was on a roll, i did 2 loads of laundryand made dinner and did the dishes.

8:51 pm

Hi to everyone else as well!!

8:51 pm

onyx, so did I. 2 to go...2 to go.... ANd that's not laundry loads!

8:52 pm

Thank you -- got it! -- I had thought of it, but have always spelled it using the u and the e

8:52 pm

One...

8:52 pm

Wolfie! *takes hands off ears* Hellooo! Onyx - I won't mention the laundry etc., I've also tackled today then. I don't know where you live or what time of day it is where you are.

8:52 pm

Good Evening, GW -- love that icon.

8:53 pm

*Holds breath as Artlady looks for the last word.*

8:53 pm

Good evening, C-nan! It's one of my fav's :)

8:54 pm

i'm in san francisco bay area, only 7 pm here but i worked all day and am already getting the snotty snuffles....

8:54 pm

Wolfie - it's very' 'you'. You should keep it.

8:55 pm

Thx, Jac --- you are done already I presume?

8:55 pm

2:54am on 6th December here in UK, Onyx.

8:55 pm

Ok, WHAT does the wa 6/30 mean? I can't find it and it's such a weird word!

8:55 pm

I was done hours ago, Wolfie. LOL.

8:55 pm

Oh, and that was the last one....

8:56 pm

artlady - sherb told me earlier that it means to wrestle

8:56 pm

Rub it in, Jac...you ARE several hours ahead of us! ;-)

8:56 pm

oooooooooh, i need to quit with 211 words..I get really tired at this time of night..thank you all for your generous help...goodnight, will see you tomorrow :)

8:57 pm

Well, geee, that must NOT be in the midwest! Here the first 2 letters are wr... for that term! lol

8:57 pm

Bye Liana, sleep well.

8:57 pm

wa6/30 has no meaning that I can find, Artlady. As I said for the start, think opposite of peace as in wa*. Then add the first 3 letters of the vehicle that Santa's reindeers pull. Whichever version of it you use, be it UK or US, you'll get the correct 3 letters.

8:58 pm

that was pretty much what I thought when I found it, artlady! :D

8:58 pm

Goodnight, Kate. Keep well.x

8:59 pm

art lady..rhymes with morsle..errr..morsel..(ewg)

8:59 pm

Pleasant dreams, lianakate

8:59 pm

Now I have to do what I sat down here to do...5 hours ago. Print out a resume for a possible college night class I might be teaching...if hired...if resume gets printed and mailed... Thank you all and good night! BTW, I did have that weird word, just wanted a def. Thanks all!

9:00 pm

Just checked on that 'wa' - it's a Scottish word for wrestle.

9:00 pm

gray, s ArtL..and Jac..ty xoxoxo

9:00 pm

Good luck, artlady! G'nite :)

9:01 pm

Good luck, Artlady. 'Night, 'night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite. LOL. Not something you hear said to kids much any more, thank Gawd.

9:02 pm

Good luck, ArtLady

9:02 pm

to 4/5 - immediately before the sound words

9:04 pm

Never mind - got it by process of elimination.

9:04 pm

Jac, that was part of our good night ritual for my children...they survived. tata!!

9:05 pm

to4/5 is a balsam named after a seaport of North West Columbia.

9:05 pm

la 5/12 (just discovered it missing), please? --- the one between tardy and rules

9:06 pm

Tata, Artlady! LOL.x

9:10 pm

Ah! la5/12. How to explain it when it has no definition? Take the last word of the Latin phrase for 'with great honour' which is la***. Use the first three letters of that and then add a word which you should correctly use before the word 'hotel' when describing it.

9:11 pm

(Sounds a bit like the grassy area in your garden.)

9:12 pm

Thanks Jacula -- found it once I realized it had to have a 2 point letter! I am done!!!!!!! -- didn't think I would considering all else I had to do today, but the Christmas shopping went well.

9:12 pm

Glad to hear it c-nan, Great work!!

9:13 pm

Cybernan - Did most of my Christmas shopping on Saturday. Only got 3 pressies left to get now. Feels good, when you get most of it done, doen't it?

9:15 pm

It sure does ------ have 3 more to get also. One is easy--just requires a trip to Toys R Us, but don't have the wish lists from the other two granddaughters.

9:15 pm

Summa cum lauda, Cybernan. LOL.

9:17 pm

I read about a Santa site a couple of weeks ago, but didn't save the URl, unfortunately, since I don't have small children. On that site, you go into it when they are otherwise occupied, give lots of little personal details and then draw their attention to the site so they can write to Santa. They get a reply which amazes them because he seems to know so much about them.

9:17 pm

Summa thanks, jacula.

9:19 pm

Cybernan - *grins*

9:20 pm

help with the to6/24 & 7/36, please?

9:20 pm

I should go find another icon for tomorrow -- can't recall what the theme is, but remember thinking it wasn't very Christmasy and I am into the season! Anyone want a clue before I leave?

9:21 pm

to 6/25 & 7/36: foot digit + hat

9:22 pm

'In my day' (as some oldies (ROFLOL) say), 'You wrote a letter to Santa and it went on on the fire and up the chimney, or, as in the house I grew up in, you put it atop the ottoman in your parents' room by an open window Rudolph could pluck it from for Santa to read. If you were lucky you got the first two 'big' things off it.

9:22 pm

got the g 9&10, what's the other 9 start with?

9:23 pm

Wolfie - what do industrial boots have in them? Steel to*****.

9:23 pm

cybernan, tomorrow's birds :)

9:23 pm

got' em, thanks

9:24 pm

an 9 is the plural of an 8

9:25 pm

Uni - well all we pink handbags are 'birds', aren't we? We should just put our own pics up. LOL. I assume the UK term from the 60s for 'women' did travel to UK and Canada?

9:25 pm

Onyx -- click on Babblers Anon. under friends of Babble, General, Stats and you will find a 2 letter word list.

9:26 pm

are you kidding? "Birds" made it across the pond just like every other Brit expression . . . in the '60s if it wasn't Brit it wasn't worth considering!! :-)

9:27 pm

yes - it did -- but sort of a mild derogative.

hello all!

9:28 pm

Hi Temple -- how's the snow by you?

9:28 pm

For Beatles fans perhaps, Une -- didn't notice that much in Canada

9:29 pm

I had a dusting earlier, but nothing worth mentioning It seems to have stopped at the moment

cold & wet...i have notlooked yet to see if i must shovel now...the predications were all over the map... and by you?

9:29 pm

Uni - Good. Cybernan - Well, if they were considered 'derogatives' that may well be why a friend of mine in US got very upset when someone from UK called her a 'bint' on a message site. Temple - Hiya.

9:30 pm

We've had snow on the ground for 3 days and temps slightly below freezing -- that's cold in our neck of the woods!

9:30 pm

duh! i knew that they were there, just don't know why i didn't type them. Thanks, i have dial up, some times i can open another session, some times i have to quit one to lookat the other. usually i have to turn off the log. slow slow slow

9:30 pm

Onyx - don't you have broadband?

hey jacs - i remembr, uni!

9:31 pm

nah, sonn though, and here i live in " silicon valley"

can i get some help to finish, please? missing two pa words - a four and a six...how about if i list all pas words i have, so others get help, too?

9:32 pm

Snow here in Worcestershire in UK has all gone now. My kids are old enough to remember 'proper snow' you could go sledging on and make snowmen and giant snowballs from. My stepdaughter isn't old enough to remember this, and I would like to take her down the hills at the back on a sledge, and make snowpeople etc.

9:33 pm

Still have a bit of hand finishing to do on my sewing projects from last week, so I'll toddle off until the flip. Thanks for the help --- good luck to all.

Hi Dr_God, you've earned it!

10:00 pm

Hiya, Dr_God. Glad you enjoyed your day in retrospect nd sorry I couldn't be there. Needed some breathing time, what with... plus the snotty kids who used up all the boxes of tissues over the weekend. LOL. ))Hugs((( anyway.

Hello all, just got back and I need clues on le6/24 and the last le5/10

10:03 pm

Hey zubie!! Sorry to say, my snow is wimping out by not accumulating -- it looks like you will have to wait until later in the season for your pics :)

10:03 pm

Hi GW! What's the score? :D

10:04 pm

gw - have you heard from mama bear?

10:04 pm

How dare the snow wimp? [glare] :) I can wait - I think! :D

10:05 pm

Dr_God...couldn't make it yesterday either...but THANKS!!!!!!!!! 8 D

10:05 pm

Hiya Marc. Will get back to you in a min., unless someone else clues you up.

10:06 pm

hi eb - i jsut dropped in this evening - taking a break from work

10:06 pm

zubie - Eagles game is 42 - 0 with the Eagles on the losing side; I still have 57 to go to finish ren - yes, Mama was on earlier -- she just had too much to do yesterday :)

10:07 pm

thanks gw - 8)

10:07 pm

Marc - My last le5/10 means slow musically.

10:09 pm

hi renny! I started for a bit eating lunch & then thougth I'd try to polish this off tonight...less than100 to go!

Got the 5/10 thanks now for the 6/24

10:11 pm

i'm done!! Now off to take the dogs out for a final pee before bed . . . brrrrrrrrrrrrr

10:12 pm

Wolfie - Your clues... se6/21 - think of a round table with letters of the alphabet around it, and people holding hands and closing their eyes, and then on one them, who, is as they all are, hoping to summon up the spirits of the dead... 'Is there anyone there?' the leader asks. The se7/32 is the plural of that. There's a wineglass upside down in the middle of the table, it's meant to guide them to the letters and their answers. Sometimes it shatters and scares the ess aitch eye tee out of them all. se8 - Think of the Wimbledon twins, Serena and Se**** and then add the French word for tea to that second name. se5/10 - add the second vowel in the vowel list to the se4 before it. se5/18 - 'sounds like' a shite place! Failing that, think 'needlework', to se*, and then add a countrified a* (i.e. Somerset) to the end of it.

10:13 pm

hi kids

10:13 pm

GW - Is that a good thing or a bad thing? That the Eagles are losing? I'm probably going to shock you by asking what sport you're referring to. Ooops. :s

10:15 pm

Hello Boreetos - did you get your curry? Ours was lovely. I did suggest I should click on your profile and wave our plates around but my other half just looked at me as if I was nuts. LOL.

10:16 pm

(((((((((((hugs all))))))))))) Hi :)

10:16 pm

No shock, zubie -- Talking American football, the Eagles are the local team and they got trounced which is made worse by the fact that they were tops in their division last year :D You asked teh score and teh game was on so I answered ;D

10:18 pm

'Bye Uni.

10:20 pm

Eek! I got bleeped on one of my clues.

10:21 pm

Guys I have four left that are driving me crazy! last two: se 5/ 18 & se 5/ 18 last two: se 5/ 18 & se 5/ 18

10:21 pm

That's funny, since the grid allows the word! LOL.

10:21 pm

What happens when you get bleeded Jacula :)

10:21 pm

Refresh the page, folks, if you want a nifty little message from me to appear.

10:21 pm

bleeped*

Still need a clue on le6/24

10:22 pm

*Grin* GW, I see that your concentration is on the game - the football, I mean! :D I ought to have known that you were talking about American Football! I didn't know that there was a game on, though! When I asked "What's the score", I meant YOUR babble score and total! You know, words found! :D [Laughing, now]

10:23 pm

Missy - you mean 'bleeped' not 'bleeded', I hope? I'm a vamp (LOL) - can't get bled unless someone sticks a stake through my heart. Seriously, the word you've typed in just shows up as <bleep>.

10:23 pm

I meant for the last ones I'm missing the last two ga's on the ga list...and the last two se's on the se list

10:24 pm

zubie -- ROFL -- my focus is on the grid, it's the wife who is the rabid Eagles fan! ;D

10:24 pm

Greetings. I never did get the ha 5/20? Anyone care to try another clue? Then I'm going to cut my losses, with 100 words.

10:25 pm

hehe Jacula...okay hasn't happened to me yet. I was actually worried about that thinking if I accidentally put a word in that's in the grid I would get banned.

10:25 pm

mark - french adjective + spanish cat

10:25 pm

Quick rescue of self, GW? Can't stop laughing! You ought to have seen my puzzled face when you started telling me Eagles' scores!! :D

ha 5/20 - add a vowel to the ha 4/9 above it.

10:25 pm

But, Jamie, I already read it when you were experimenting and forgot to remove the stuff you were working on from the bottom of the Bab page. LOL. Thanks anyway.

thanks, got it

ha 5/20 - might also be how someone from Boston might pronounce the animal you ride with a saddle.

10:28 pm

Jacula- I don't what you're talking about, but it certainly sounds like something I would do. :)

10:28 pm

Revised list of the four I need: last two on list: ga 5/ 14 ga 4/ 6 and last two on list: se 5/ 18 se 5/ 18

Need help on the last el6/21

10:29 pm

For the ha5/20 - think 'hips and ha*s' and then add an eclair.

10:29 pm

ga4..type of party

10:29 pm

Dr_God - you did, and I read it! LOL.

10:29 pm

Jac - took me a sec to put the vowel in the right spot but got them all -- Thanks! BTW, I'm a practicing Wiccan - you didn't have to give such an explicit def for the 6/7 combo ;D

Missy - ga 4/6 is what you pass through on the picket fence. ga 5/14 is plural of ga 4/6 above it... the olde English word for prison.

10:30 pm

el - A substance used as a solvent in separating materials in elution.

10:31 pm

Wolfie, I know you are! But so mote it be!

10:32 pm

319 now. To the to's!

ga4/6 and its plural. Oscar Wilde - The Ballad of Reading Ga**.

10:32 pm

now I am missing both sa6/21's and one of the sc5/12's have the subdivision of an opera

10:33 pm

Jacula- I really doubt you've read the Treehouse article because it never appeared on the Babble site. BTW- what article *are* you referring to anyway? You've got me stumped and confused. :\

10:33 pm

harpjane-if you don't have it yet it's haw**

10:34 pm

Jacula- Unless you have some vampire power I don't know about.

10:35 pm

sa+cooking vessel + vowel Mexican plum

10:36 pm

Sa 6/21 - fruit, GW, with variant ending letter

10:36 pm

DR_God - at one point there were all the sites you chat on at the bottom of the Babble site. They'd not have made any sense to anyone but someone who is au fait with chat sites and chat names (and who knew your real name). I just had a quick look and before I knew it, the sites had gone anyway. I'm not having a go at you, Jamie. I just saw some stuff I maybe wasn't meant to, but nothing awful Just stuff about this site and others you do.

10:36 pm

sa -then the same and change the final vowel

10:37 pm

Very popular fruit in Florida, Carribean, GW.

10:38 pm

Jamie, I promise you it is nothing to worry about. I'm not a hacker. I just happened to be here at a time when you left some stuff lying around.

10:38 pm

Thx pthomp and zubie!

Got it thanks

10:39 pm

allstartwithX, Jacula thanx for the ga clues...gotem :)

10:39 pm

And, Dr_God, because you remind me very much of my only son, I went and read it. LOL.

10:40 pm

Jacula- Aha! Now I know what you're talkin about. I'm not sure why you saw those links at the bottom of the page, but I think you're referring to the little links at the top of the page. I occassionally talk about Babble on my Epigroove site, but I haven't posted the article on there. I might someday.

10:40 pm

Morning everyone. I'm stumped on one of the ge6's. Have the Italian Icecream. Any clues for the other?

10:41 pm

Looking for my last two: (last two 18's on list) se 5/ 18 se 5/ 18

10:41 pm

Okay, Jamie, you've convinced me. I might pay $3 for your article once I've seen what my bank balance says after the Xmas shopping. ))))HUG((((( ANYWAY.X lol.

10:42 pm

missy - se + very pale

10:42 pm

GW - You know that I was j/k, right? :s

10:43 pm

Missy - to repair torn clothing (se*) + speak like a pirate

10:43 pm

Incidentally, is anyone willing to pay for all my recipes on BabAnon??? LOL.

10:43 pm

se + armed conflict

10:44 pm

And, with that, it's 325 words 4.76 3732 I hope that the next grid has just 40 words to find! ;D [faints]

10:44 pm

zubie - huh? A bit focused on grid cos I'm going a bit slower than usual

10:45 pm

*Jacq puts Zubie's legs above her head and loosens her neckwear.*

10:45 pm

Re the 'quick rescue of self', GW. I meant to put a ";D" after it, but didn't. If it's only the grid that's keeping you silent, that's ok, then. I thought it was what I said. :/

10:46 pm

Hello, I need help with the last sl 5/10, please

10:46 pm

Jacula - I don't want to be a pretzel! :D

10:47 pm

Zubie - not even the very rarely spotted CHOCOLATE pretzel??

10:48 pm

zubie - Oh!! sorry zubie -- of course I knew you were joking :D Just don't confuse me like that again!

10:48 pm

Jacula - :D I'm not that fond of chocolate! I might eat it twice or thrice a month. :D

10:48 pm

Dr_God- my daughter's boyfriend reckons you have a 1,000-word grid lined up for us on Dec. 19. You wouldn't be the cruel would, you???? Would you?????????????

10:51 pm

:D *I* confused *you*, GW? :D I walked in here this morning, asking for your Babble score and you told me football scores and I confused you! :D Well, if I did, then we're even, right? :D

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf & pthomp Thank you... I got em. Yay! done...

10:52 pm

Jacula...nooooo....all of us are gonna be very busy that day...it would have to be like a 50 word puzzle to be kind :) (Naturally, I'll be on that day in between things)

Need some help with my last two. pe 6/21 and pe 5/12 below the pe 5/12 that's the prison colony.

10:55 pm

Yay Missy Me!!

GW - sc 5/12 is what you smell from a rose or a perfumed woman.

or what the bloodhound picks up from the trail

10:56 pm

zubie -- let me clarify -- Wolf is my primary totem beastie - the patient teacher -- he walks on my right. On my left is Coyote -- the trickster who teaches by his own bad example and by confusing his enemies -- he is on my left And I am LEFT handed -- so sowing confusion is second nature to me ;)

10:57 pm

Thanks allstart

10:57 pm

Wolfie - thinks films 'Sc*** of A Woman'.

10:58 pm

I am also left-handed, which is why I, too, also give rather cryptic clues.

10:59 pm

Lefties unite!!

11:00 pm

Ren - Is that you?

11:00 pm

11:00 pm

Arg... Dr God you still there?

11:01 pm

GW - pe 4/5 - Do you have that which comes off an orange? How about the football/soccer player?

11:01 pm

zubie - have the orange skin

11:02 pm

Nice clarification, GW! :D But were you meant to sow confusion in yourself, too? ;D :D

11:02 pm

pe4/5 is the start of s showy flower

11:03 pm

Yes, zubie -- Coyote teaches by failing to learn from his mistakes

11:04 pm

Heya Jac - Nice to see you.

11:04 pm

11:04 pm

11:04 pm

Do you have the pe4/5's - what a bell does; a word for a clerk (Asian sub-continent), GW? And you win on the sowing confusion issue :D Great arguments! ;D

11:11 pm
