1:20 am

I thought about that when I said it but forgot people here are smart enough to know BF's wife's name. :)

1:20 am

Great clues, Griff -- falling asleep -- back tomorrow for the last 60. Good night, everyone.

1:20 am

That was NOT what that comment meant zoob!

1:21 am

Griff - not smart, but Google is :)

1:22 am

Okay, maybe not smart, but honest! :)))

1:29 am

thank you Zubie goddess of the babble grid this eve

1:30 am

Thanx zubie - and what a cool definition!

1:30 am

[Practices goddess look] ;D

1:30 am

That r7/32 is a non-word in the English-speaking world. Someone is cheating but I'm too scared to say who ......

1:30 am

We should start tossing THAT one into conversation

1:31 am

[Looks at fierce and menacing Griff!]

1:32 am

By my count, there are still 3 7's unaccounted for

1:32 am

Malise, it's certainly a non-word in MY lexicon but it pulls up a dictionary definition just fine...

1:32 am

My r 7/32 has a definition

1:35 am

zubie, finally got it, thanks

1:35 am

I have an F that I can't account for...

1:35 am

Yes I know r7 exists - and I wasn't getting at YOU Griffums, just the person - whose name we must not mention - who devised this devilish game. My glass is now r7 .......

1:35 am

what the heck is every one talking about r7/32

1:35 am

blaze a clue for r 7/32 ? i have a r 7/36

1:35 am

1:36 am

is there a clue for r 7/36

1:37 am

nava do you have the p 7/36 ?

1:37 am

How many r7s are there?

1:37 am

Ergggh! My F is only one that appears on screen all during the game... I never see what's right in front of me! <pedestrians take note>

1:37 am

no, i have 2 p7/40 's

1:39 am

sorry !! take the p7/40 and change the p to an r

1:40 am

thanks

1:40 am

i'm still lacking 2 more 7 letter words. anyone have them all?

1:41 am

1:42 am

Ok! That does it! If no one tells me how many 7's there are, I'm going to copy Griff's fierce glare!

1:42 am

1:42 am

Oh sorry! I didn't know you asked that - there are 12 of 'em. <properly menaced>

1:42 am

12 --7 letter words

1:43 am

Ok. Now, hand over a list of first letters for those 7s! [really menacing]

1:43 am

zubie - I think we all have the same ones right now

1:43 am

*waaaaaaaaaah* I don't have them! And you're scaring me!

1:44 am

glare or no glare I am no where near that achievment

1:44 am

1:44 am

1:45 am

Just 9? *Just* 9? *sob* i only gots 3

1:45 am

[I'm scaring Griff! :o]

1:45 am

Good morning all.

4:39 am

Hi macadam - Evening here.

4:49 am

Morning

4:51 am

Any one need any hints before I go?

4:52 am

I've barely started so it's a bit early for me thanks

4:54 am

I'm going to give up. It won't let me enter words. :/

4:55 am

aubie :D Sounds cute, Dianne :D

4:56 am

zubie - when you need a change use it :)

4:56 am

I should just give up because I can't find many ;-) It's letting me enter them though, although I've not been able to get on the site all morning

4:58 am

Morning all! Looks like Dr_G has some server problems today, site is up and down and all over the place.

4:59 am

Evening Dianne.Seems to be a problem today one way or another.Dr G must be busy behind the scenes.

4:59 am

Morning FMitch :)

4:59 am

O.K. I'm outta here. Time to go home and get some dinner. Have a good one.

5:00 am

Bye Dianne.Hi FMitch and Yoink.

5:00 am

Bye Dianne

5:00 am

Bye Dianne, Hi Yoink, Zubie and macadam-mum. Managed to get to 109 so far, been working offline.

5:00 am

Hi Macadam :)

5:02 am

Mitch - you can do the puzzle offline?

5:03 am

I`ve had problems putting words in,but seems to be a little faster now.

5:03 am

I print a copy of it off and type into excel or use pen and paper, then can type everything in later after checking against BJ's list. all a bit ong winded but gets there in the end.

5:05 am

zubie, have you got all the 7's, if so can I have a clue for the ro7 pretty please.

5:05 am

Oh. :D THAT offline. I thought that you were typing in words to the grid, but without being connected to the net :D

5:08 am

I always write my list before typing them in.This is a result of a disastrous few days when my pc was having problems with the server and my word list vanished.I couldn`t remember my words on line so vowed it wouldn`t happen again.

5:09 am

Mitch - ro7 - babble's famous whale which uses that much -despised letter in this grid!

5:10 am

darn zube, I remember that clue from earlier today and it didn't work for me then either, does the word break down at all or can you give me the def so I can google?

5:12 am

ro7 - what sound a lion makes, minus the third letter. Add this to the despised tile and then the first two letters in the animal that is like a crocodile!

5:14 am

argh! I will write it out 100 times so I dont forget it for next time. The thing that was throwing me is that I like the "despised" tile so didnt even think that way on the board.

5:14 am

Great clue zubie

5:15 am

Lol. Oops, sorry Mitch. I should have known that I'm the only one who hates that tile. :D

5:16 am

LOL zubie, as macadam said good clue!!! and that brings me neatly to 20 words left to find!

5:23 am

The two tiles I don't like: qu and x! :D

5:27 am

hey all, just on quick to copy puzzle to try and attempt to do today at work...hah....hi and bye and hope you all are well....

5:34 am

Congrats Zubie, still a whole 80 to go here, and not getting anywhere fast

5:35 am

When you mentioned '20 left', Mitch, I speeded up! ;D

5:35 am

Thanks Yoink. I'd have finished earlier had the grid not kept booting me. Well, I like to think so, anyway. ;D

5:36 am

note to self - must remember to keep quiet next time! LOL

5:39 am

LOL Mitch! ;D Ok, so does anyone need clues before I go?

5:40 am

Zubie, yes for most of the words!

5:43 am

5:44 am

al7 - 'more outer space'

5:45 am

Thanks Zubie, I had the first one but not the others, I do now. I'm not being at all methodical today, full of cold and finding it hard to concentrate, just wandering over the grid trying to spot things

5:47 am

aawww, there there yoink! passes hot toddy over - that should make you feel better!

5:47 am

As I was ne 7 36 the total, Mitch mentioned '20 words left' in my he 7 40.

5:48 am

5:57 am

Evam yep, it's a little kung-fu hamster and it sings the chorus from "kung-fu fighting" when you squeeze the paw

5:59 am

Do you actually possess this wonderful singing hamster? I'd love to introduce him to my cat.

5:59 am

6:00 am

At the end of the in 6 24 the player fl 4 9 a taxi. Don't put a re 4 4 on an rh 5 12!

6:00 am

Lotti, I guess hamsters aren't very masculine, even kung-fu ones Eva, no I don't have one, you can get them at card shops and such places, here at least

6:01 am

LOL Yoink!!!! ;o)

6:13 am

Move al 5 14, Move al 5 14, said the policeman to the crowd.

6:13 am

What happened to t, Mitch? :D

6:14 am

*Looks for 'foot' in grid* ;D

6:14 am

were those 2 different al5's zubie or a repetition of the same one?

6:15 am

zube there isn't one in the grid so I couldn't use it LOL

6:16 am

I didn't know the author of the book, it was an 4 4 but when I reached the end I read the ep 6 27 on the in 5 10 cover.

6:16 am

Repetition, Eva. I got carried away :D

6:17 am

Some might think this banter in___, but it is, as FMitch said, good for the in___soul

6:17 am

6:21 am

I'm a 'she', Eva! :D What meds? :D

6:21 am

sorry zubie - which ones would you like?

6:22 am

By 'meds' I assume you mean medicine and NOT medals? ;D

6:23 am

Actually it should be a medal for the prolifery of clues!!!

6:23 am

Why do I need medicines? Do my clues sound feverish? :/ ;D

6:23 am

I seem to have more than one pr5 12 in my brain this morning which is making me pr5 12 to pe7 40 drivel

6:24 am

Well, my clues are feverish so I'd better go :D

6:25 am

prolifery ....like the way that rolls off the tongue

6:25 am

What's the total you have now, Eva?

6:25 am

zubie don't go!!!!

6:25 am

Don't mind q's at all, but e's make me crazy.

6:26 am

eva, not sure that it is even a real word but it does sound good.

6:27 am

Only have 82 so far zubie. And the house is getting awfully cold so some time soon I'm going to need to tear myself away from this and lug some wood up from the basement.

6:27 am

How dare you call me a hi 4 5 monster! That's in 5 10! In fact, it's in 6 18 than calling me a pe 4 5!

6:27 am

Yoink, should I shut up now? :D

6:35 am

Hi all, Any clue for ir5/14 please

6:36 am

Coudn't walk away from the glomerulus - have that one now, and now I am REALLY going! See you later zubie

6:37 am

Zubie, it's up to you and how long you can (or want to) keep it up for, I for one have been lapping up the clues

6:38 am

No wonder you've been silent, Yoink! Thought you'd vanished. And you had - only, INTO the grid! ;D

6:38 am

Thank you Zubie, never would have thought that was a word

6:39 am

I know, davetins. I was desperately monkey typing when I got that :D

6:39 am

Yep, had no time to chat while deciphering your posts!

6:40 am

No one who plays babble should dare to complain of en 5 12

6:45 am

Ok - which letters do you need now?

6:46 am

how about the 3rd and 4th ag's?

6:47 am

ag 6 25 - your presidential candidate again with an extra vowel. remove that extra vowel for the ag 5

6:48 am

Well, that's slightly wrong. Remove a vowel but not the extra one.

6:49 am

Got them, thanks :)

6:50 am

go 6 27 - derives from go 4 + domestic fowl

6:52 am

7:53 am

That did it! Thanks Ho Hum & Eva

7:54 am

Evanadine, pi5/12 is a gear that drives forward and reverse on an outboard motor.

7:55 am

off to have a life ...if you call painting the bathroom life. Just finished spackling. Was very satisfying, making something with holes in it all smooth. Sort of like filling in a grey square.

7:57 am

thanks gwen -- thought id tried it already, but i guess not!

8:15 am

9:46 am

doxy..to see about glycobiology and health, go to www.ChooseToBeWell.com

9:48 am

babs, just looked up your email. Will send you one soon. My b-in-law is in Fort Worth. The good thing is my sister is outside FW and my hubby would have a place to crash if needed.

9:49 am

ri7's....first one is similar to the in6...other one is based on the ri's just before it

9:50 am

Thanks Ouwachita, it didn't end with the 3 letters from the top after all

9:51 am

the first ri7 ends with those 3 letters

9:53 am

doxy - have you got the ri4/6 that you wear on your finger

10:59 am

the monkey he got drunk, and sat on the elephant's trunk. the elephant sneezed, and fell on his knees, and that was the end of the monk!

11:00 am

11:00 am

I don't think ToeSockMonkey would like that one!! (I didn't know there was a first verse!)

11:00 am

No Miyavi.....lyrics per chance????

11:15 am

No...but...just... *puts head in hands*

11:16 am

It's a clip I found, featuring a j-rock band called Nightmare. Put it this way: NOBODY should have recorded them at that time. OR broadcasted the clip.

11:16 am

No....but.....just...... c`mon where d`you hear it??? Is it rude???

11:17 am

No, it's not rude...just showing a band for the *lovable* retards they are :/ And just how much free time they have. I don't think I've ever seen anything so stupid...and it really shouldn't be as funny as it is :D

11:18 am

hey eastern blue how old are you

11:18 am

Well...at least its giving you a laugh!!!! Tor!!!!! You still there???? xxxxx

11:20 am

11:20 am

LOL Miyavi xxxx

11:21 am

I'm here - mostly.

11:21 am

Mmmm that boss again eh???

11:25 am

Okay. The only sentence I've managed to pick up and translate from one of the band members is "my hand elephant will not take this discrimination!"

11:26 am

Sounds great Miyavi!!!! :/

11:30 am

Yes, it's *that* kind of band ...:/

11:34 am

Hi plebian, I'm baffled, too!

11:54 am

Oooh, neat. We just need someone born on the fourth, then we'll all line up

11:54 am

Good morning -- is everyone finding this as tough as I am? ....Totally stalled with 27 still to find.

11:55 am

Thanks Deutsch, Glad I'm not the only one. I can't find it in any word list anywhere or in Monkey typing as they say. Frustrating, no?

11:55 am

Plebe and Deutsch -- me too!!!

11:55 am

Hi cybernan, not an easy go for me today.

well we need 7 and 9 to get to sam - right sam?

11:56 am

12:01 pm

Hi, everyone. I just got it!

why did my message come up twice?

12:01 pm

ri 7/32: (clue from zubie's 1:21 post) -- If you have the r4 refering to r4 fruit, change the last letter of the r4 and pretend that you are playing the instrument which Elton John usually does while singing. Spell it differently, though.

12:01 pm

Wargh! *sighs* Got to go do boring things. Like eat. Before I waste away :/ Back soon...maybe :/

12:02 pm

12:03 pm

The ro 7/40 is eluding me also............

12:15 pm

Good Lupe ...... and you????

1:53 pm

i've done both methods and logged out, still nothing.

1:54 pm

Hi miss, obvious, I know, but have you refreshed?

refreshed and logged out and back in.

1:54 pm

Miss.....it may not be anything you`re doing wrong. Mine wouldn`t change this morning cos the site was mental!!!

1:55 pm

Miss, you look like one of the raison thingies.

thanks lupe! Its a bionicle.

1:55 pm

Bugzy - I work at the City's call center for services..... our staff is not happy about getting up to 6" of snow.... our crews can never plow the stuff fast enough.

oh! you see it, but I don't!

1:55 pm

Hi all, checking in for about 10 min. How has everyone been!!

1:55 pm

*snaps out of disturbed mental state* Raison?! Like raison d'etre?!

1:56 pm

I know - my son is a Lego fanatic. We bought a few new Bionicles at the Lego store a few weeks ago.

1:56 pm

That's odd. Try refreshing again.

lol, non pas du tous Miya. Like California Raisins

1:56 pm

*Hands out vanilla, orange mocha, mint choc, irish cream, latte and americano coffees* *...and several bags of peanut M&Ms* Brain food : )

1:56 pm

I love legos! I've built all sorts of things!

1:57 pm

OOOh - Peanut M&M's - my favorite - any left for me?

1:57 pm

*slips back into insanity*

1:57 pm

Deutsch - you too huh?

1:58 pm

They're saying 2-8 inches here... I'm sure the inevitable bi****ing about the snow plows (or lack thereof) are coming here too :)

1:58 pm

Yum....thanks Anj!!! Hi Schroeder :) Talking of Yum.....Where`s Tor ??????

1:58 pm

Any white choccies in there?

1:59 pm

Yes, Lupe! We have a huge picture window that looks out on to the sidewalk. We make barbie scenes to fill the window.

2:00 pm

Here you go Lupe *hands over packer of M&Ms* Sorry, Torg, no white peanut M&Ms, but i've got some big white choccy mice : )

2:00 pm

OK - now you got me craving chocolate. I'm raiding my boss office - he has a peanut M&M dispense... be right back!

2:00 pm

i think my brain already consumed itself! *CANNIBAL!!*

2:01 pm

Bugzy, those of us here in CA are still waiting for snow...ski slopes looking pitiful.

2:01 pm

Hi evandine!

2:01 pm

Yay babe....funny enough there are loads :) They`re called Dream...I hate white choc!!!!

2:01 pm

Cool Deutsch! My son looks to me for new "things" he can make. Poor thing - his mom has no imagination.

2:02 pm

thanks Anj !

2:02 pm

Opposites attract eh!!!! ;o)

2:02 pm

You can have ours as far as I'm concerned, Schroeder. Only 2 times I like snow : Christmas Eve, and the night before I'm going skiing!!

2:02 pm

I'll take all you have, lotti!

2:03 pm

Amen Bugzy (although I don't ski so I guess I only like it on Christmas eve).

2:03 pm

I"ve built a barbie size fireplace, sink with oven and burners, boats... Now yo uknow why some people think of me as "interesting." LOL

2:04 pm

Mimie, it means you need to refresh!

2:06 pm

Well, I'm off to the store. Think I'll just have to buy more tofu! BBL

popping back in to say hello again (keep getting pulled away to do work)... Hi swmbo! haven't 'seen' you in ages!

2:06 pm

Luckily Lupe I have 13 acres to myself so it stays white for a while....

2:06 pm

2:07 pm

Bye Deutsch!

2:07 pm

Hi EasternBlue!!

2:07 pm

Dinsdale. . .

hi schroeder - we've missed you too!

2:07 pm

Schroeder - well then - that's a horse of a different color isn't it? Kind of a different scenario in congested Chicago.

Tor - who or what is "Dinsdale?"

2:07 pm

See ya Deutsch - hi EB - is that a hedgehog? Very cute :)

2:08 pm

Gotta go......chilli time!!!! See ya :) ((((((((((((((((((((TOR))) ))))))))))))))XxXxXxXx

bugzy - indeed it is...lotti requested him...

2:08 pm

See ya lotti!

2:08 pm

bye Deutsch

2:08 pm

I hear you Lupe - the snow looks so pretty when it's falling but then so ugly in gray heaps by the side of the road. Until April. Ugh!

bye lotti!

2:09 pm

thanx Deutsch, happy shopping!!!...ola everyone, hope your day is better than mine........

2:09 pm

Bye Lotti EasternBlue, your are so creative!!!

sorry about that pause brorther went mad ah hello swmbo never seen you before!

*blush*

2:09 pm

EB - It's a Monty Python thing. There was a character who imagined a giant hedgehog called "Spiny Norman" was chasing him and calling his name: "Dinsdale."

2:09 pm

Nothing like snow stains on the back of long coats and pants, along with the nice salt stained shoes/boots. Ahhh yes, winter in the big cities.

2:10 pm

Bye, luv! ((((((((((((((XXXXXXXXXX XX))))))))))))!

Tor - from one of the MP movies?? (why do I not know this??)

2:11 pm

You guys make me really happy to live in the mountains when it comes to snow.....

2:12 pm

Lupe, Schroeder - in our parking lot at work they just push all the snow into a big pile in the back... gets about 15 ft. tall, and just all gray and nasty. It doesn't melt until well into spring... yuk.

2:12 pm

go 6/27, please?

2:12 pm

I Babble when I can. I also administer Babbler's Anonymous, but most days don't have time to post there OR here...

2:13 pm

It was from the tv series. A story about the Piranha Brothers.

2:13 pm

...a nod is as good as a wink to a blind badger

2:13 pm

And this chat log moves so fast, i can't keep up AND Babble LOL

2:14 pm

Schroeder - I live in a city where people "claim" their parking spots with chairs, buckets, old furniture... they will literally fight with someone who dares to take their spot after they've cleared it of snow. Every year there are news stories on this issue. I'm sure we will have the media out at my office bright and early tomorrow if the 6" fall tonight.

2:15 pm

Bugzy - I know, winter isn't officially over until those heaps of snow melt away.

2:15 pm

What city is that Lupe613?

2:16 pm

go 6/27, please?

2:16 pm

Chicago, Illinois USA.

Tor - PHEW! I've seen MP movies numerous times (mostly late at night - cast parties from high school days)...meaning of life...life of bryan...holy grail & couldn't remember the hedgie from there...thought I was losin' it!!

2:17 pm

I've only seen the Life of Brian...didn't stop laughing for about two weeks

2:17 pm

cybernan - go6 is the female version of a gorcock

2:18 pm

That is scary Lupe, the only problem we have is when the people from the city come up the hill in their 4x4's and think they can drive 55 still, most end up in the trees.....

2:19 pm

Thank you, Bugsy

2:19 pm

Schroeder - LOL!! That's so funny!

2:19 pm

OK - not so funny for the people stuck in the trees.

2:20 pm

Missing one of the last 4 li's........ Have the money and the one with no def.

Schroeder - the general rule is that people who have the cars they think are so 'safe' and can do 'anything' are always the ones you see on the side of the road in the snow mounds!! : D

2:20 pm

Funny....yeah it's funny

2:20 pm

Why won't it take lipe when it is in the Enable dictionary? I thought that was the bible for this puzzle?

2:21 pm

We get people who think they can still drive 80 on the freeways and people who think they should go 25 when it's snowing... Yeah, tomorrow's commute should be fun!!

gotta go...boss is calling

2:22 pm

It's the truth EasternBlue, we local tend to stay home on the weekends or take the back roads...much safer

2:22 pm

Bye Eastern

2:22 pm

Tonight's drive home will be a nightmare..... oh, oh I think I 'm out of rock salt....

2:23 pm

cybernana - how bout the jungle animal?

2:24 pm

Bye EasternBlue.. Out here that don't use salt on the roads, just sand due to all the rivers and lakes...no rusty cars or salt stained clothes.. Off to the bank, be back later

2:24 pm

cybernan - do you have both money terms (change the last vowel)?

2:24 pm

later Schroeder, EB

2:25 pm

of the li 4/4's I have: all before the 6/18 the flooring the jungle animal the money (X2) and the one with no definition

2:27 pm

you are missing the li4 right after the 6

2:27 pm

cybernan- you're missing the one with the double consonant at the end

2:28 pm

HI folks! 84 words to go! Am gonna walk the doggie and am right back!

2:29 pm

Thank you Bugzy and mtnjock

2:30 pm

I'm new at this...kind of new and slow at this....any hints to poor old me............ :(

2:30 pm

One more........ pi 5/16 (last pi)

2:30 pm

mimie -- has anyone pointed you to Brandyjack's word list yet?

2:31 pm

that would be the Polish dumpling made with mashed taters and cheese

2:31 pm

multiples of them end in i

2:33 pm

Thank you mtnjock -- didn't know it could be spelled that way! Thanks for all the help everyone -- I am DONE!!!!!!!!!!

2:33 pm

Off to grab lunch and the end of the curling -- back in a bit.

2:34 pm

It's one of those days you wish the word 'pies' was in there. You can't go wrong with a word like that

2:34 pm

Yay cybernan! Enjoy your lunch and the curling!! And hi and bye to Sherry :)

2:35 pm

nope cybernan....

2:35 pm

the pi5 is also an alternate spelling of a typical cajun water vehicle

2:38 pm

Is it just me, or is this an evil puzzle??!!

2:39 pm

Evil, pure evil. Tricky too :)

2:39 pm

mimie- under "Friends of Babble" on the right side of the page, click on "Babblers Anonymous." Click on "General" - the first post contains a list of the 2nd letters/lengths of all of the words for the day's puzzle. It really helps!!

2:40 pm

where's the breakdown of words that begin with each letter? thanks!

2:40 pm

Glad its not just me being stupid today! Though I am being sidetracked by laughing at "Walking with Monsters" on TV

2:42 pm

T'is an evil puzzle today; I knew it was hiding tricks last night when it irst went up. Hi everyone. Posted a sight of the day at babs anon. Last week end I listened to a radio piece about John Lennon. Good deal of Lennon speaking and singing in it. www.hearingvoices.com

2:42 pm

thanx bugzy.........will do.......

2:42 pm

Yay - finally finished (with an embarrassing amount of help from a2z). This one was indeed a beast!!

2:46 pm

Congrats Bugzy!

2:46 pm

any help on ag6/24 would be appreciated

2:46 pm

Hi all - have babbled but not 'chatted for a couple of days now been busy making cosumes for the twins for their school play. This grid looks tricky so do I or don't I?

2:46 pm

molly, add a vowel to the end

2:47 pm

hand elephants...

2:49 pm

I say you dont snowy I wished I wouldn't of started

2:49 pm

thanks jock

2:52 pm

Hi all - haven't chatted for a couple of days now but have finally completed the twins' costumes for their school play and I actually have some time for ME!!!! This looks like a tricky grid -but here goes!

2:52 pm

Officially back! And eating 'tartiflette' to get enough strength to complete the nasty, tricky grid.

2:53 pm

Hi Snowy!

2:53 pm

Oops thought my 1st post hadn't arrived! Its too late shorty I did! LOL

2:54 pm

Hi Sherry and Snowy - it is a stinker today! And I have to ask, Sherry, what is tartiflette?

2:54 pm

Hi Sherry!

2:55 pm

I'm wrestling with a Polish dumpling. Not the fun kind of wrestling.

2:56 pm

I hate to sound stupid but what is the a2z

2:57 pm

Tartiflette is something you eat in winter. It's from a place near the Alps. Recipe on this page! http://www.linternaute.c om/femmes/cuisine/recette/1289 41/4899865985/tartiflette.shtm l

2:57 pm

I hear this grid is evil :( is it a good idea to start it at 9 o'clock at night when I know I have to get up at 6 am tomorrow? ... no ... am I going to do it? ... yes evening all :)

2:57 pm

Of course, you better like cheese...it's FRench! lol!

2:57 pm

molly: http://www.a2zwordfi nder.com/index.html website to help you figure out words

2:58 pm

HI Sherb!

2:58 pm

a2z is where you can look up words and can be really handy

2:58 pm

www.a2zwordfinder.com; you can submit letters and the site will give you a list of possible words.

2:58 pm

can any one please give me a clue for ro 4/7 and lo 5/10

2:59 pm

thanks I will look at it

2:59 pm

mollie - www.a2zwordfinder.com is a great place to fing lists of words if you're really stuck. Most of us challenge ourselves not to use it -but I would think most of us give in & use it! LOL

2:59 pm

mollie90: ag: Greek marketplace, plural

3:00 pm

bonsoir Sherry!

3:00 pm

Thanks Kelstar! had the singular one but hadn't thought of the plural.

3:01 pm

Mmm... tartiflette sounds yummy.... kind of a classy French version of what we call "cheesy potatoes" :)

3:01 pm

ruthy: Think of Tiger Wood's sport...

3:02 pm

thanks kelstar

3:02 pm

Bugzy: something like that yeah! but you have to do it with 'reblochon', a cheese from Savoie.

3:05 pm

The le rhymes with the Muslim Holy Book

3:06 pm

oops, that was the lo

3:08 pm

Oh Sherry, most of the U.S. is so ignorant regarding cheese. Cheddar, Swiss and something call American cheese. I like to experiment, but I don't really know what I'm doing. I love English Cheshire cheese. I'm pretty unsophisticated.

3:10 pm

ro 4/7 : our friend, Mr. Harris, of 6 White Boomers fame

3:10 pm

hey there snowy! good onya for the costumes. i am squeezing in some babble before leaving to get the girls. did finish yesterday's grid!

3:10 pm

mab - there are other great English cheeses too...you should try Wensleydale, if you can get it...mild and tangy, and fantastic with Christmas cake...yum!

3:11 pm

lo 5/10: Dr. Seuss has a character beginning with lo -- change the x to a different consonant.

3:12 pm

Mab: my little brother was born in Canada and raised on orange cheddar...he can't stand French cheese!!!

3:12 pm

Thanks Sherb, I will look for it. Made a note of it.

Does anyone else think that froing should be a word? Toing and froing ...

3:13 pm

Hi bbnaz! Sorry - I was searching in vain for a word I could recognise!lol I quite enjoyed making them and they do look really sweet!

3:13 pm

Cheese - mmmmmm! nothing like a really old cheddar -- we can get 10 year old stuff here. Also get a great stilton with mango in it.

3:14 pm

You bet, Speed -- I think it's right up there with toing

3:14 pm

Speed: absolutely! this grid doesn't accept 'aniron' either. I know it's Elvish, but quand meme!

3:14 pm

*raises hand* I do, I do! Also the word 'piesumptious'. As in, "my dear, you look piesumptious today!"

3:14 pm

best nominee for today's " word that should be but isn't" ONLINE

3:15 pm

Hey Bugzy - just saw you finished the puzzle - Good Job.

3:15 pm

Oh I love stilton with apricots! - Yum - and we have a mature welsh cheese called Black Bomber which is really rich, strong and creamy - delicious!

3:15 pm

Really! That's so funny Sherry. People seem to eat a lot of Cheddar. It's melted on just about everything. Well-aged cheddar can be good, I should rush to say. It's good with apples, or apple pie.

3:15 pm

It's an old fasionned grid.

3:16 pm

M

3:16 pm

Congrats, Bugzy and thanks for the help you gave me in finishing a little while ago.

3:16 pm

Congrats Bugzy

3:17 pm

What was that...anyway... Mab: sure! grilled cheese sandwiches..yummy!

3:18 pm

Thanks... and I see we are all a bunch of cheese heads here :) Mmmmm... cheeese....

3:19 pm

Anyone else need help before my sewing machine and I get into production?

3:19 pm

Yeesh, down to 3... and that's mainly thanks to all the earlier clues... thanks everyone :) Can you get me to the end of this mean ol' grid? I need some clueing in on pi6 (not thumbtacking), ne5 and ne6(not the one that sounds like of the ocean) Thanks in advance

3:19 pm

what are you sewing, nan?

3:20 pm

can anyone please give me a clue to the first pr five letter word

3:21 pm

pi6/ same beginning as the word before and after -- end with comparative suffix.

3:21 pm

Bugzy, get ready.....snow's been here for only 1/2 hour and traffic is disaster already - and the thick of the rush hour hasn't started! Good luck tomorrow morning!

3:21 pm

pi 6: latin plural of pi 5/12

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

ruthy - change the last letter of the next pr5

3:24 pm

What were you making snowy? -- I'm making a skirt for one of our granddaughters.

3:24 pm

ruthy - a microscopic protein particle...thought to be responsible for scrapie...nice...

3:24 pm

we're a 24/7/365 operation. to the contrary, we've asked our staff to stay late today.

3:24 pm

thanks

3:24 pm

Cybernan, that's great, thankyou!

3:25 pm

My hubby is a UPS driver ... tomorrow will not be fun for him :(

3:25 pm

Yes, thanks!

3:25 pm

OOOh Bugzy - poor guy. that has to be rough....

3:26 pm

My twin grandaughters are to be 'dutch girls' in their Christmas play - so have made hats, full aprons and long skirts for the 2 of them - I'm quite pleased with the end result - I'm no seamstress so made it all up as I went along!

3:26 pm

Time to serge on over to the machine, scissors and fabric in hand ------ see you at the flip.

3:27 pm

Bye Cybernan!

3:27 pm

snowyowl, that sounds terrific!

3:27 pm

byr cybernan - happy sewing!

3:27 pm

Sounds great, Snowy -- we're empty nesters, so I sew for the 6 granddaughters now.

3:28 pm

Missing an L4/4, think it's the last one after the two monies. Anyone?

3:28 pm

That is a little scary, Bugzy. Some people (esp. in Mass.) drive so crazy in bad weather. But your husband is a professional driver, an expert.

3:28 pm

they are pretty Une- nothing like authentic - but sort of chocolate boxy pretty!

3:28 pm

Yeah, not his favorite time of the year. He's working 11-12 hour days anyway, and the snow just makes it worse...

3:29 pm

Mary: try the italian currency and change the last vowel.

3:29 pm

how old are the granddaughters?

3:30 pm

Sherry, I have both of those. I'm just missing an Li4/4.

3:31 pm

Mary: I got three italian-currenc- like, with 3 different vowel endings.

3:31 pm

My mum bought my machine as I kept borrowing hers for odd jobs and I do love it. Have shortened curtains etc - amd my daughter did persuade me to make her an evening dress for a 50s themed party she went to. It all looks great if it doesn't have to be 'serious' clothing!

3:31 pm

80 to go but have to make a school run...see all you later.........

3:31 pm

It's better now that he's in an area where they actually plow the side streets... when he worked in the city, those streets were never plowed... he got stuck in the snow a couple times.

3:31 pm

See ya bbnaz!

3:32 pm

Millions of thanks, Sherry, finally got it.

3:33 pm

The twins are 6 in January - we have 5 grandchildren all under 6 so I could be getting a lot of practise in the next few years!

3:33 pm

You're welcome Mary!

3:33 pm

bye bbnaz

3:33 pm

wow, how lucky they are to have you, snowy!

3:34 pm

Gotta go now, too... Bye all (and Happy Shoveling Lupe!!)

3:34 pm

Bye Bugzy!

3:37 pm

Works both ways Une -they are the joy of my life! We have so much fun - spend all my days working out how to undermine their parents without making it obvious - just the way my grandmother did to mine! So we have sneaky late nights and eat all the wrong foods at my house!

3:38 pm

bye Bugzy :)

3:38 pm

4:06 pm

anyone need help before I leave for the day?

4:07 pm

TO -- the in 5 youre looking for means stupid, useless

4:07 pm

4:17 pm

I can't do ANYTHING with paintbox! - I am getting really jealous of these homemade icons tho' so may have to do some practising.

4:17 pm

Blaze, i've notcied the Babbleserver gets a slow-down noe and then but it didn't get me last night. I think my ISP's server just decided it was quitting time and had to be booted back to life

4:18 pm

Anj- this may sound a stupid question but do you have any outside xmas lights(the flashing variety) or maybe a neighbour..they can cause problems with interference and Broadband connection

4:18 pm

cathb that is an interesting observation....

4:24 pm

4:47 pm

renfield that is total cruelty! I worked in a hardware store for a couple of years and disliked Christmas time because of the noise from Christmas items all up and down the isles...ugh!

4:48 pm

LOL Renfield- earplugs could be the answer!

4:48 pm

Hurrah everyone whose finished in the last few minutes!!! Ren: sounds like torture. Is it one of those electronic sounds -- highpitched and artificial so you want to poke out your eardrums with an ice pick?

IRAN to the pub to meet my friends PHIL, OLGA, ANNE, ANNIE and RENNIE...but no 4/4 of them could be found in this blasted grid!!!!!

4:49 pm

4:49 pm

Nite Sherb!

4:50 pm

'Night Sherb.

mab - is it the flowery-octous looking thing?

4:51 pm

'nite Sherb : ) Ren, turn Atheist and complain ; )

4:51 pm

I like it, Mab!

oops...octopus

Anj - is that your own creation too??

4:52 pm

HI EB - Yup, I have the paintbox bug too : ) Mab, very Dali-esque : )

4:52 pm

Nite Cathb!

4:53 pm

Sweet Dreams CATH - see you 2morrow

'Night Cath.

'night CathB

First the Babble addiction - now the Paint addiction...what's next???

4:54 pm

Yours is nice, Anj. your Paint creation.

4:55 pm

I have a hard time controlling the pencil. Its almost as difficult as an etch-a-sketch.

4:56 pm

Cheers Mab, it's a bit fiddly. I will go for something simpler next time... EB, it's xmas so it will probably be Lindt choccies : )

jumped into Babbler's profile...tomorrow's theme is ZZTop...

mab - it gets a little easier with time...but thank goodness for the eraser & edit "undo" for the last oops!

4:58 pm

later days, all! see you tomorrow!

hmmmm - Lindt choccies...hmmmmm

4:58 pm

...second that EB lol

4:58 pm

bye Deutsch!

bye Deutsch!

4:58 pm

'nite Deutsch : )

4:59 pm

Well, I've changed out of the monstrosity and into my role model, who in fact I am nothing like.

4:59 pm

'Night Deutsch!

mab - is that Doris Day??

4:59 pm

Bye Deutsch!

5:00 pm

T'is.

5:10 pm

So tell me, what time does this train get to Calcutta??

5:11 pm

Pardon?

5:13 pm

Ah, there is life in here somewhere ; )

5:15 pm

Yes Anj - but maybe not as we know it!

Anj - just trying to find words in the grid... I have 55 to go - and so far I haven't used A2Z or BrandyJack's list...(I have used some clues tho'...)

5:16 pm

Anj, I'm having trouble at fm.com, or whatever it's called. The music is choppy. I suppose something is out of sync. Do you know how one fixes that? How do I list you as a friend?

5:17 pm

No worries : ) the sound of concentration is as good

Anj - that isn't the sound of concentration...those are quiet sobs : D

5:18 pm

Mab, it sometimes does that if you have too much running on your desktop. Any RAM-hungry progs running apart from your browser?

5:18 pm

lol Eastern you're not far wriong there!

5:19 pm

hi eb - i took a short break - i mean a real short break...my husband is loving our 28F weather - reminds him of buffalo....8)

5:19 pm

Hmmm, I don't think so. I need to spend some time fiddling with it.

5:20 pm

Need a hint for li 4/5 please.

5:20 pm

ok mab - is that gidget?

5:20 pm

...it is one of those puzzles today : / I've used A2Z a couple of times as a reward for getting the tree up... ...which involved much swearing and the use of an alan key, a screwdriver, a hacksaw and a power drill...

5:21 pm

hello all...we have over 5 inches on the ground more coming down, nice wine, i passed all my preclasses for the ER and i get to babble....yeeee hhaaaa

5:22 pm

Never mind the li 4 clue. I got it.

5:22 pm

Mab, it does jump sometimes. Are you a subscriber? My user handle is soundhog. Click on Users, and type that into the search box on the bottom left and you should get me. Tracks showing should be Fields of the Nephilim and Dredg just now...

5:22 pm

LOL Anj was that a Christmas Tree? You sound like the Barry Bucknell clone that is my husband!

5:23 pm

WOW Baggo !!!! Congrats on the tests! Enjoy the wine and keep safe in the snow!!!

5:23 pm

baggo - congrats on the er - you are a very brave person....

baggo - congrats! rennie - say "Anchor Bar & Grill" to your hubby!! (and I'm happy you're in the puzzle today!)

5:23 pm

Wow, I'm impressed by your fortitude, Anj. Trees are going up already. I only have to deal with a chanukkiah, but I do enjoy looking at the Christmas trees.

my real name is in there too...but it's not a word!

5:23 pm

Hi Baggo!

5:24 pm

Li 6? thank you in advance!

5:24 pm

Hi Baggo : ) Snow is like s3/10. You never know how long it will last or how many inches you will get ; )

rats...must polish off a few more work items...I'm off tomorrow to see U2 in concert!! (So I guess I should finish the work stuff to truly enjoy the band...) I'll be back later to finish the grid (or it finishes me...)

5:24 pm

thanks guys...and hello to all that are here...oh yeah, and i took care of 8 patients and didn't harm one of them and they were all over 100 pounds...lol

5:25 pm

we have it easy don't we mab - we get to put up or menorah & lite candles -anj - you shoud convert to judism - no hassle w/ trees8)

5:26 pm

baggo, would these patients be human or animal? i'm curious with the whole mention of weight.

5:26 pm

"Once I had a secret love......." "Oh the Deadwood stage is coming on over the hill" "Black Hills of Dakota........" You've done it now Mab......

5:26 pm

Take care Eastern!

5:26 pm

no trees ren? ah, wheres the fun then?

5:26 pm

evan human, but i used to work in a newborn intensive care unit prior to this drastic move

5:27 pm

bye eastern

5:27 pm

oh my you mean mab is doris day????? -

5:27 pm

'nite EB - enjoy Bono & Co Hey Evanonut, how's the finger?? Evening tBear : )

5:27 pm

gotcha baggo, and are you liking this move?

5:27 pm

Ren: it's Doris Day -- I love her. And yes, we are lucky. The chanukiah is so, so pretty with the candles lighted. Hi dear Baggo and congratulations. You are so brave.

5:28 pm

Hi tbear! Nice voice!

5:28 pm

hey anj! fingers great, it's not pretty, but healing up real nice.

5:28 pm

pyro w/ the chanakia - 9 candles! yes

5:28 pm

thanks mab....just a change of pace...and i'm so excited about it which is what is really thrilling me. new stuff..

5:29 pm

Snowy, It's a real one, 6' tall and quite bushy. The trunk is a little gnarled and Homebase had botched the chop so I had to do a little DIY to prevent it unexpectedly jumping on any unsuspecting guests over the Yule...

5:29 pm

and we get to sing - and the story is so wonnderful! and eat gelt!!!!

5:29 pm

do you guys do the "santa" thing at all????

5:29 pm

Good to hear Eva. Last thing you need is a finger in A&E over xmas lol

5:30 pm

no major tree decor this year. it is too much with everything else, so we have a little fake four footer. oh, and i don't believe in santa anymore.

5:30 pm

okay what is gelt???

5:31 pm

gelt?

5:31 pm

evan i'm sorry did i ruin it for you??? didn't mean to tell...honest....lol

5:31 pm

Baggo, could be slang for money...

5:31 pm

Yes, I'm a subscriber, Anj. Perhaps I didn't download something properly. I'll go back over the steps again.

5:31 pm

we never have -

5:31 pm

My daughter in law started her nursing degree this March - she is working very hard & loving it. I have so much admiration for you all. Did 13 months of my training but had to give up due to health problems. Always regretted not going back

5:31 pm

that's what i'm thinkin anj

5:32 pm

Mab, it's just that as a subscriber you will get server and streaming preference so it shouldn't be jumping. I could just be the track. Try changing style or artist and see if there's an improvement : )

5:32 pm

snowy say congrats to your daughter from me. if she's liker her mum she'll be great...too bad health problems kept ya from doin it....

5:32 pm

Would you guys stop singing Que Sera, Sera and give me a clue for s 6/18? What will beeeeeeeee will beeeeeeeee. Doris, Jimmy, and Hitchcock. A winning combination!

5:32 pm

Gelt is money. Usually chocolate money that one wins playing dreidel.

5:33 pm

snowy sb mum in law

5:33 pm

choclate candy wrapped in gold foil - you win it when you play w/ your dreidel

5:34 pm

snowy and baggo - dr's may get the glory, but it is the nurses that make or break a patient. bill had the best nurses last month, and they told us we would have the same nurses next week, which means so much!

5:34 pm

I miss my real tree. One dropped all it's needles overnight one year & I threw a hissy fit & made my husband buy artificial - sorriest thing i ever did! Have since re-arranged our living space & no longer have room for the big real trees I love

5:34 pm

i think continuity with your nurses is some of the best medicine that people can receive....

5:35 pm

chocolate and money now that's a combination...

5:35 pm

i'd have to agree, unless we had had xena...she was the worst.

5:35 pm

mab--are you allowed to eat the chocolate money? Sound like my idea of heaven! I'm no good at dreidel though. (But, I'm Catholic and I can spin a pretty good rosary!)

5:35 pm

And I apologize in advance to any Catholics that I just offended!

5:36 pm

Snowy, first time i've got a real one myself. It's being quite well behaved ref needles too. I'm not decoarting it until the 15th/16th tho' I don't like to overdo it...

5:36 pm

lol me too harpjane spin those beads with the best of them

5:36 pm

an d you get to eat fried potatoe pancakes (latkes)

5:36 pm

I'd second that baggo and eva. Somehow the love heals along with the medication - your day to day contact with other people makes so much difference.

5:36 pm

i'm a former catholic - rip away. we just finished making truffles over here. mmmm.yum.

5:36 pm

i love latkes and I'm catholic...

5:37 pm

harp - you are so funnnny... 8)

5:37 pm

i put a warm blanket on a guy today, and it was amazing...i didn' really realize what i was doing, he just looked cold to me...

5:37 pm

Maybe I'd get a clue if I asked for a letter that's in the grid? I need L 6/18, not S!

5:38 pm

snowy - when my mother had breast cancer - her nurse told her to start laughing - they laughed together for several years - it was excellent medicine

5:38 pm

good job baggo - that is a biggie to tell the truth.

5:39 pm

i mean i have snuggled and bundled, held and rocked for years...no idea what that blanket did to not only him but his wife too...

5:39 pm

mmmm I love latkes too and I'm not Jewish

5:40 pm

laughing does work best - like in that country song - "you can't really smile until you shed some tears."

5:40 pm

awwww that was sooooo sweet baggo

Harpjane - li 6/18 take the li 4/4 below it - last letter and add what you listen with

5:40 pm

shorty and i love your icon....lol

5:40 pm

...! LOL I've finished and didn't realise it for about 10 mins % )

5:40 pm

ok - who's gonna cook the latkes tonight?

5:40 pm

ty me too

5:41 pm

It is those small acts that are so very important, I think, baggo. One is so scared and sick and miserable in the ER.

5:41 pm

it's true baggo. bill's nurses were always asking me if i needed anything as well. it means SO much.

5:41 pm

Could be quite a small c catholic re religion. I am fascinated by bits of it all! I do however obect to people objecting to Christian events at Christmas!!! UK has gone mad with political correctness over religion to the point of farce - My view is - respect everybodies celebrations & stop calling Christmas the winter holiday! All are welcome to celebrate it - BUT it IS Christmas!!!!

5:41 pm

it was the chocolate money anj

5:41 pm

Congrats Anj!

5:42 pm

AMEN snowy

5:42 pm

Kristinarose-Thank you. I am SOOOO embarassed. I had a hissy fit to get a clue for an obvious word. Que Sera, Sera, whatever will beeeeeeee will beeeeee.

5:42 pm

5:42 pm

Well, I'm done too! But I must admit that I've used a2z...still got some chinese homework to do, and it's 00:47...lol!

5:42 pm

Congrats Anj!!!!

5:43 pm

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

Hurrah Sherry and Anj!!!!!!!!!! In Israel they have jelly donuts at Hanukah. Jelly donuts AND latkes is the ultimate. Of course, you need an angioplast afterwards.

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

sorry for the delay snowy but YES! i will never call it the season of lights, or x-mas or holiday season. you want to celebrate fine, but it is RELIGIOUS!

5:46 pm

Sherry, ZZ Top according to Babs : )

5:46 pm

oh yes - my husband loves his jellies.....8O

5:47 pm

Anj: Oh my God...ZZ Top? the beardy guys?

5:47 pm

5:47 pm

Renfield: MDR like we say here! 'mort de rire'

5:48 pm

Ren: even more - die of laughing, laughing to death, right Sherry?

5:51 pm

5:52 pm

Welcome Midgette! Mab: very good! Renfield: that's the equivalent or something like ROFL

5:52 pm

ok - like to die laughing? I thought mort was death - ok MDR hahahahahahaha

5:52 pm

5:53 pm

6:04 pm

6:05 pm

'nite Snowy : ) That ro7 looks like it should be some sort of BIG sword lol

6:05 pm

ok still lookin...know the q's in it somehow...

6:06 pm

only found one q, are there more?

6:07 pm

evan no, i just know from the points of the ro7 that it must contain the qu

6:07 pm

Just one word, ro7 with the q in it.

6:07 pm

Not in the gris Eva...you could try the post office ; ) lol

6:07 pm

oh bugger, heading off to look for that one

6:09 pm

Baggo: just google the definition!

6:09 pm

post office, bah! they tell me to mail my christmas gifts to kuwait two months early and it's there less than two weeks later.

6:10 pm

sherry i will at some point... ;-)

6:10 pm

But there are q's there.

6:11 pm

evan who ya got in kuwait???

6:11 pm

Courageous Baggo! This grid was a pain really! lol!

6:11 pm

where q?

6:12 pm

baggo, my future sister in law. she's and excellent example of a soldier.

6:13 pm

In the u.s. we call queues 'lines' of course, but the big debate is whether one stands 'in' line, or 'on' line. Tri-staters are definitely 'on.' Varies regionally.

6:13 pm

well i shall add her to the list we pray for for those overseas.

6:14 pm

mab, i thought the real debate was where the line 'starts' and where the line 'ends'.

6:14 pm

thanks baggo, somewhere i have a newspaper article she wrote about what it is like in a convoy to iraq. it was something.

6:15 pm

Mab, anyone 'push-in'? Or does that lead to 'a full & frank exchange of views'? lol : )

6:15 pm

Baggo: know what? Can't help having watery eyes and shivers when I hear the navy hymn.

6:15 pm

do people ever just start talking to you for no reason when you're standing in line? - if so...that's me

6:15 pm

if i could i would be over there in a second in an evac hospital helping out...

6:16 pm

no renfield that's me...i don't know a stranger...

6:16 pm

i still regret not enlisting out of high school. i think it would have been a good thing to do. i do the next best thing now and work on their clearances.

6:16 pm

Inn Minnesota people refuse to admit they are 'next,' insisting that someone else is honestly next. "No, you go" "No you, I insist" etc. ad nauseum. aka Minnesota nice.

6:17 pm

yeah sherry, i know what you mean, the veterans day parade here killed me this year...

6:17 pm

i could still enlist until 45 with the medical thing, the recruiter told me after i graduated...

6:24 pm

I'm off folks! See ya tomorrow! Bisous!

6:24 pm

bye sherry...

6:24 pm

7:07 pm

sorry mamabear - we got rain, which will freeze tonight so tomorrow morning should be fun...give me snow any day

7:07 pm

7:08 pm

well - mama bear - i was about to leave - but i've still got a chemist here....so i'm stuck w/ a whole lot of work as well - so sad for you8(

7:08 pm

Hey Mamabear : ) Feel the warmth of the Babbleverse : D Redshoe, we have fish for that express purpose... ; )

7:09 pm

kristin - freezing rain is bad too. That's part of the problem I think. Have heard from people coming in that there is ice under the snow. And this is really the first snowfall of the winter, so everyone forgets how to drive and the plows are having trouble keeping up with clearing. I figure if I stay a few more hours traffic will clear. A girl left here at 5:00 and just got home now (7:00) and she lives about 20 minutes away.

7:10 pm

Good luck, MamaBear. I'm waiting out traffic with nasty rain and hoping it doesn't freeze.

7:10 pm

Anj: pass the fish.

7:11 pm

you all be safe w/ that icy stuff - we'll have it tomorrow - yeck - that's when off roading becomes an art

7:11 pm

Thanks Anj, renfield, mab & kristen..... how is everyone else doing?

7:11 pm

is there a "good luck for getting enough snow to not have to go to work tomorrow" fish??

7:12 pm

I wish that was an option, evanadine... I have a wicked deadline and not coming in isn't an option. I should just sleep at my desk!

7:12 pm

where are you located redshoe?

7:13 pm

Back in the mountains of East Tennessee

7:13 pm

*Hands over large wet haddock* Redshoe, there's a menu in my blog. If it's not there let me know and I will add it lol : ) EvaN...not sure we can do one of those. Could be a Koi Carp ; )

7:14 pm

oh redshoe - you have some wicked roads in good weather! beautiful view - but wicked roads

7:14 pm

how about a snow leopard cat fish?

7:15 pm

ice fish?

7:16 pm

frozen fish stick?

7:16 pm

Renfield, that's why so many hillbillies and ridgerunners still want muscle cars. Nobody (much) runs shine thru the hills, but it's nice to have weight and power.

7:17 pm

Well Mamabear I wish you luck on your drive home tonight. Hopefully the cars will melt whats on the road and you will have a smooth ride home.

7:17 pm

ah - i understand redshoe - we were in a bmw z3 - hugging the mountains where possible - fear factor - yessss

7:18 pm

mamabear - fish sticks/fish fingers, perfect! Redshoe: interesting. Do take care.

7:18 pm

oh yes mama - frozen fish sticks - if anj approves?

7:20 pm

nothin like gettin smacked with a frozen fish stick to knock some sense into a person

7:20 pm

LOL

7:20 pm

thank you kristin... I think I'm going to wait a couple more hours here.

7:20 pm

Woot! Ren, forgot to mention... Chevy are going to build the retro-look Camaro. It looks like it will be a Joel Rosen project and contracted to Motion Performance : D

7:21 pm

im a fan of the fish sticks...hehe

7:21 pm

so how was the grid today? I imagine you all have conquered it?

7:22 pm

LOL evanadine... I'm picturing a ceiling fan with fish sticks as blades.... I think I'm getting over tired punchy

7:22 pm

It's a bit sticky for me. Still working on it.

7:23 pm

Was today Doris Day Day?

7:23 pm

Hi everyone

7:23 pm

anj - my cousin still has all of his muscle cars - i love the GTO's the best - he still has his 66 malibu, hemi charger - he even still has his wife

7:23 pm

I think it won today...I'm giving up at 126. Can't find the little ones.

7:24 pm

Hi saphyre!!!

7:24 pm

anyone have any hints for me? :)

7:24 pm

mama bear - one word describes it - weird.....

7:24 pm

And a tippy tippy day day to you too, mama. No, just a whim. (I love Doris Day)

7:24 pm

Finally home and waiting for the snow to start

7:24 pm

the thrill of it all mab?

7:25 pm

Ren, he will trade for one of these : ) Get the specs: 8.8 litre, 700hp, 5-speed manual, Dana 44, all in a genuine retro-fitted '69 shell with matching Vin plate. They're building 12 to start and then according to demand : D It's like COPO all over again : D : D : D

7:26 pm

I pretty much love all her movies, but send me no flowers is my favorite.

7:27 pm

Well I can tell you where the SNOW is NOW, saphyre!!! I am stuck at work waiting for traffic to clear. We are getting an inch an hour...

7:28 pm

I figured as much, mab... I just wanted to say "Doris Day Day"!!!!

7:28 pm

Ooh, that sounds kind of cool to me, the retro Camaro, but I still want one of those overpriced Cooper Minis that BMW makes.

7:29 pm

Better off staying where you are, even if it is at work...too many people don't know how to drive in the snow....We're getting snow and then ice here. Thankfully I work from home tomorrow

7:30 pm

omg - 10 sec for a qtr mile!

7:30 pm

It took me 4 hours to get home today and the snow hasn't started yet. People panic.

7:33 pm

Ren, doesn't say, but it's a 5-speed manual and should top 200mph...what's that? 350kph?? Joel Rosen is quoted as saying 'bragging rights are standard' lol, although the price tag will be upwards of $100k

7:34 pm

these cameros are selling for us$400k+ is there an article in hotrod? I found the cnn and motor trend articles -

7:37 pm

I'm reading Classic American, a UK mag but it's got its finger on the pulse. Says original Baldwin-Motion cars are swapping hands for £250k a time, minimum so $400k doesn't surprise me. The overheads must be horrendous

7:38 pm

ok - so the pase iii are selling for us$189k and they can supercharge!

7:41 pm

Whoops, that should have been $250k lol. It really does look juicy. Could be looking at 1000hp plus if you want to spend the dollars.

7:41 pm

they're being built in florida by time machine - hummmer - that rods going to hum everything off the road! and they will be road ready. street legal muscle cars -

7:44 pm

It is snowing here in Ohio really hard

7:45 pm

ok drool time over - take a valium - calm down - smell of burning rubber - tight engines screaming - speed shifting....ok valium -

7:46 pm

I'm on the Chesapeake Bay and we are getting two storns that are going to collide

7:46 pm

7:48 pm

Yes thank God I'm home

7:48 pm

saphyre - not good - 8(

7:49 pm

no I'm not around berea

7:49 pm

that's good Shorty - I wish I were.... but if I leave now it will take me a good 3 hours to get home. I might as well wait.

7:49 pm

right anj - LOL -

7:50 pm

wow on a normal day how longwould it take you to get home

7:51 pm

it usually takes about 45 min. but a girl left here at 5 and didn't get home until 7 and she only lives 20 min away

7:51 pm

mamabear, i took that 3 hour drive home (usually takes 35 minutes)

7:51 pm

one of my other cousins in north carolina has a 69 camero indy pace car up on blocks in storage -

7:51 pm

7:55 pm

7:55 pm

sorry, freudian slip, i meant fair

7:55 pm

Reb, that's a capital offence in some eyes lol. Live to drive, drive to live : ) Er, present weather conditions excepted folks... : /

7:56 pm

oh leslie - i thought the cr** was the slip 8)

7:56 pm

nope, i totally meant that :)

8:00 pm

ok - now i think i'll take my little rav l4 and run through some ditches and rice fields so i can get the thrill of the race out of my system tonight - muddy car - they have the watch for ice on the overpasses and bridges - of course they had those signs down during hurricane rita as well -

8:00 pm

ren - are you in Berea? I'll wave when I go to the airport tomorrow.

8:02 pm

no we have some friends that just moved back there from san francisco -

8:02 pm

bro - you can wave - i'm in houston tx - you know the land of the heat - except for tonight and tomorrow

8:04 pm

Boy, that must have been a shock to the system. It was -1.1 degree last night here about 20 miles away.

8:04 pm

chemist just left - i'm going to try and drive home - after i get some gasoilne (down to us$1.96 / per gal)

8:05 pm

8:30 pm

My dog (part husky, part border collie) is driving me nuts. He loves the snow and he must know it's coming.

8:34 pm

that's funny saphyre!!! I have a friend who has a part husky - can't get him in the house when there's snow!!! Even in the middle of the night!

EB - got the ro7. That one has been on Babble before. I'll have to file it away for future use I'm sure.

10:04 pm

for the en 5 - think "french" for listlessness...

10:06 pm

For that en use the e in the upper left corner and go down. It's all in those two left columns.

10:06 pm

Hi Everyone -- Allstart -- ready for the snow?

10:07 pm

Hi Woulfie...

10:07 pm

Hey EB

Got the en 5. Should have seen that one. Perhaps some en*** had set in and prevented me from seeing it? All done and thanks for the clues EB!

10:08 pm

hi rennie!

Hey GW! Yep, moved my snow blower from shed to garage. Ready to tele-commute if need be.

10:09 pm

Hi ren.

10:09 pm

EB - I'm only at the halfway point myself -- taking a break form updating my resume to find a few more words :\

EB - need any specific clues yourself? Ready to assist.

10:10 pm

ok - just came in from outside - it is 22 here along the texas coast - that's not fair -

10:10 pm

I've got about 40 words left to go...not sure which ones I'm missing - I've just gone to BrandyJack's 2nd ltr list!

10:10 pm

Allstart -- you are the lucky one there -- my apartment complex does the worst job imaginable when it comes to clearing the parking lots :)

10:10 pm

...but thank you!

10:11 pm

good evening all

10:20 pm

thank you for the clues. I got it. Finished

ty - i now need onlyone of the fl 6 - i have the coin

10:20 pm

t-owl - something you do to a pancake; something you shouldn't do to a dead horse

10:20 pm

it's the really damp north wind that gets to us - and there is nothing between us and the wind except a barbed wire fence

10:20 pm

fl 6 - large vessel, usually of metal or pottery, with a handle and spout and often a lid, used for holding wine or other liquors.

10:20 pm

Hurrah doxy!

T-Owl - pluralize the fl 5/16 to get the 6

10:21 pm

fl6 -- The pellet with the poison is in the fl**** with the dragon...

10:21 pm

other fl 6 - latin plural of your flowers

10:21 pm

The chalice from the palace holds the brew which is true!

10:21 pm

ty mab

10:21 pm

Bravo doxy!

Yay Doxy!

10:22 pm

oh - but which one was broken?

10:22 pm

thanks EB. Did you finish earlier today?

10:23 pm

doxy - *sheepish grin* I haven't finished yet!

10:23 pm

They broke the chalice form the palace and replaced it with a vessel with a pestle

10:23 pm

*chuckling quietly at EB*

10:24 pm

Can you tell I like Danny Kaye? ;D

10:24 pm

i was searching frantically for a 4 letter go word...FORE! (d'oh!)

10:25 pm

yes - i can tell you are a reall danny kaye fan!!!!

... and threw the goat over the moat because there was no trestle for the vessel?

li 6?

T-Owl - in mathematics they have li**** equations.

10:27 pm

Allstart -- have you seen The Court Jester, starring Danny Kaye?

GW - No. My bad poetry was inspired by fatigue.

ty, x...

10:29 pm

69 to go....plodding along here

10:30 pm

hi bbnaz...it's been taking everyone awhile!!

10:30 pm

it was on not long ago wolfie - i'vew only seen ot a few times - danny kaye movies are veryyy enjoyable!

10:31 pm

I haven't seen a Danny Kaye movie for a while. I sure enjoy them.

I must admit to a liberal dose of a2z tonight too. Some tricky ones in this grid.

10:32 pm

Ren - you mean I missed it? Pfui! It is one of my favs of all time --- The Inspector General is considerd to be his best, which it deserves, but The Court Jester runs it a close second :)

10:33 pm

isn't it amazing how you can quote from a 1956 movie and have most people catch on?!

10:35 pm

right bro - talent is talent

10:35 pm

LOL, broll, Though, with the exception of our younger players, I would be more surprised that my fellow Babblers were ignorant of it!

10:37 pm

our brains absorb and absorb and keep on absorbing - kind of like a popular paper towel....8)

10:39 pm

Why does my 18 pound cat have to lie ACROSS my right arm while in my lap?

10:40 pm

you are owned - that's why - it's a controlling thing

10:41 pm

Too bad it doesn't work ;) She's in my lap, but the arm is on top of her now :D

10:41 pm

Woulfie - you know as soon as you start to pay attention to him?/her? , that'll be the end..they'll get right up & go away (having served it's purpose!)

10:41 pm

...or not!

10:42 pm

you're noting until you are ignored by a cat

pe 6?

10:43 pm

uh that's nothing

10:43 pm

Not this one, EB! -- we got her from the pound when she was just 6 weeks old and for the first day I think I let her feet touch the ground for all of about 20 minutes! She bonded with me so completely that she is the first cat I have ever owned that will actually come when I call her by name :)

10:44 pm

pe 6 - a 'writer'

10:44 pm

ah...my theory is blown!...have to admit I'm more of a dog person...plus hubby is allergic to cats

10:45 pm

what is the web page for a2z

10:45 pm

Woulfie - what is her name?

10:45 pm

www.a2zwordfinder.com

10:45 pm

gw - same reason that my poodle is sleeping on my desk with his head on my mouse. competing for attention. hi, all!

10:45 pm

EB -- Twitch -- I've mentioned her and her daughters, Meeper and Creeper before :)

10:46 pm

hi ruf - i have a cat on my neck and one on my feet - i'm sharing their couch

10:46 pm

hi ruff... Woulfie - what happened to Jeepers?

10:47 pm

Hi ruff -- lol!

10:47 pm

ruff - I like your picture...can't really make out what it is, but it looks pretty!

10:47 pm

ren - I know the feeling. I usually have drapey doggie across my lap (the corgi), and sir snoozalot (the poodle) on my desk.

10:48 pm

they accept us unconditionally

10:49 pm

eb - fractal, one of those that I downloaded on our fractal icon day. I found too many that I liked, and have been trying to use them all!

10:49 pm

EB -- Twitch had only 2 kittens in her 1st (and only) litter.. Originally, they were going to be given away, so I didn't want to name them. But I didn't want to keep calling them 'the kittens' so I started calling them paired names

10:49 pm

ruff - very nice! lotti requested a hedgehog so I made my best attempt!

10:50 pm

Woulfie...and how long have you had the kittens (you big softie!)

10:50 pm

what, like fortnum & mason? van cleef & arpels? abercrombie & fritch? abbott & costello? laurel & hardy?

10:50 pm

I found out yesterday that my Malka (tabby) has hyperthyroidism. I have to take her to a clinic in Conn. and leave her for three days. They inject radioactive iodine into the thyroid and then let her cool. I'm very happy that she has something that can be treated and she will be well.

10:51 pm

oops. fitch, not fritch. typo.

10:52 pm

EB - 5 years :D The adoptions never went through cos people changed their minds --- now, of course, I have great difficulty imagining giving any of them up ;D

10:52 pm

ooo, mab. best of luck with that.

10:52 pm

mab - let us know when you bring her in...we'll rally round you until she's home safe & sound!

10:53 pm

Woulfie - I figured it had been awhile 8 D

10:53 pm

ruff - sorta... I used Gog & Magog, Leaper & Peeper, Meeper & Creeper, and Frick & Frack among others :)

10:53 pm

eeeergghhh! one of the stinkin' li 4/4 words...gotta figure out which one!

10:54 pm

Thanks, ruff. There is a 98 percent chance she will be cured. I was so worried there was something deadly wrong with her.

10:55 pm

en 5/12 anyone?

10:55 pm

en5, french for 'boredom'

10:55 pm

bbnaz - general listlessness - think 'french'

10:56 pm

mab -- you have my good wishes as well, I am sure giving her up for the three days will be tricky for you, even with the necessity

10:56 pm

he7/40 anyone

10:57 pm

merci!

10:57 pm

he7 - think 'ears'. hard of he*****

10:58 pm

mollie - there are 2... what is what you do with your ears the other is what you would do if you had 'descendents' that you were giving things too...

10:58 pm

thanks but I have that one, the hearing one

10:58 pm

aaagh!

10:58 pm

I'm very sensitive about how my cats are feeling, but the treatment is noninvasive and they play tapes of my voice for her and let her watch videos. Also she is served her regular food. It's about as painless as can be.

10:59 pm

take your he4/5, as in one who inherits, and make it sound like a fish (herring)

11:00 pm

aaaaagh! cover your eyes!!!

11:01 pm

11:01 pm

ruff runs around in circles, trying to cover the posted word.

11:02 pm

At this point in the night I think everything is ok, ruff. No worries. I will never finish this in time.

pi 5 - i have fastener + na - mising 2 and also one pi5 canoe - missing?

11:02 pm

11:02 pm

11:04 pm

It is terribly expensive for me, but I really have no choice. This clinic is part of a chain. All that is done is this thyroid treatment. That's it. Radio Cat.

11:05 pm

Night T-Owl...

11:05 pm

Radio - Radio - Mab - good name!

11:06 pm

nite t-owl -

11:06 pm

G'nite Temple! I'm never gonna finish either -- still have 54 to go :)

11:06 pm

for a chain, they seem to be remarkably empathetic, what with the voice recording & all. you're getting "blunt & uncensored" ruff tonight, sorry. had a few drinks.

11:06 pm

I have 21 to go...I think I can I think I can!

11:06 pm

glow in the dark tabby?

11:07 pm

you can, eb. you can.

11:07 pm

glowie

11:08 pm

did I mention that I had to put glow in the dark stars on the doggie steps, because our corgi kept jumping off of the bed & missing the steps? in the middle of the night...thump.

11:09 pm

Hello good people :) <-----my drawing

11:09 pm

Yes, I think she will glow. I have to avoid excessive cuddling with her for a week! The two vets who came up with ingenious idea should make the accomodations somewhat posh considering the simplicity of the treatment.

11:10 pm

Oooo, interesting Missy.

11:11 pm

Hi Again everyone

11:11 pm

hey missy - you art object you 8)

11:11 pm

Hi MissyMe... ...another person sucked into the world of Paint!! I've gotten Babbler, Anj & mab (earlier anyway!)...now you!

11:11 pm

Thank you...I took the idea from a very funny conspiracy theory about an airplane and other modern vehicles showing carved as heiroglyphics inside a pyramid on the wall

11:11 pm

hi saphyre

11:12 pm

you got me to eb - you just didn't know it.....

11:12 pm

hi saphyre

11:13 pm

rennie - you drew your pix in Paint?? WOW!

11:13 pm

my refresh just went to hell. anybody else?

11:14 pm

The airplane shape is at the bottom. When pharaohs would die the next ones would plaster over their heiroglyphs...over time the plaster would fall off and the shape of a plane, a boat and other vehicles supposedly now appear on the wall

11:14 pm

ruff...nope - mine is fine...

11:14 pm

actually - i though it was don quixote

11:14 pm

not yet at least, ruff

11:15 pm

My refresh never works. I think it's Opera and the website conflicting with each other
