Finished already not a good day to give up smoking,. i was hoping it would be a long one today. oh well of the the shop!!! thanks for the help peeps xx
Pet annoyance, ramix
ah...thanks trish trash...cant believe i missed that!
If it's any consolation, it was my second-to-last find :/ At least the grid is small and friendly today.
Anyone else out there?
Morning Haz I'm here
Oh good - I thought I was alone. I've managed to finish the grid so have no reason to neglect other duties, unfortunately.
Well done I've just got 11 words to find
Let me know if you need help but there are so few words you'll probably manage by yourself.
Thanks for the offer but I haven't been on for long so its a bit early for clues
Finished in under an hour! bit different to yesterdays puzzle, I don't think I even got half way through with that one. Happy Christmas everyone, I refuse to say Happy W.... H...... as the PC brigade would have us say!
Hey Tiger, where in Lincs are you??? Hi everyone, just a flying visit!! :)
Morning all. What a disappointing grid! Done in 20 minutes or less. I suppose I'll just have to spend the rest of the day finishing off writing Christmas cards, making mince pies and gingerbread houses, and (whispers so at not to upset self)... ironing.:-(
((((Jac))))) I know what you mean, although i`m glad cos i`m busy today!!! Hubby`s Christmas do tonight too so I may get legless hahaha!!!!
Oh well gotta go....try and catch you another time Tiger :)
Hi Lotti.((((Hugs back)))) I think Dr_God's in league with our families who think we should do more work! It's a nice day, probably a good day to walk round delivering all the cards for the neighbours.
'Bye folks. Happy mini-Babble to those who come later.

Stats posted at Babblers Anon. If anyone really needs them that is...... Smallest puzzle I've seen yet.
Too bad we couldn't get Dr_God to have the thing generate two puzzles so we could pick and choose which one(s) to do when one comes up short. Are we addicted yet.....
its a really short puzzle today, i finished in fifteen minutes, i don't mind them in the low hundreds but what am i going to do now
might have to check out that Sudoku sillyness.........
Hello and goodbye. That was a quick one!
brandyjack i've had a go at sudoku but lost interest after a while,
I tried sudoku once and it made me utterly insane. All of our brains are wired differently, and mine is definitely not made to do whatever it is one needs to do for sudoku!
*chokes* 31 words?!?!?!? 31?!?!
ello all!
mornin all!
The one day I'm stuck at home and it's itsy-bitsy! Morning all!
Hi Jen and Eva! How are you? :)

Hello everybody :)
Hey Shorty! :) Smallest on record Lol Eva...I've just witnessed the psychologically scarring event that is my school panto. I think two male teachers may have kissed *shudders*
Hey there Miy! Doing well! You?
Jen, bit slow today! still, got dir en grey blasting into my ears so all is good ^_^
Omg it was reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyy weird and VERY disturbing!
eww Miya that is very disturbing for a child you could be scared for life :P
yup, Gem...I think Mr Lucas is serious about Mr Eve :/
heh, its always a bit of a jolt to find out 2 teachers are involved... i bet its moreso when theyre both men!
(by the way, Gem, if I start singing, STOP ME!)
cathy well at least one got slapped on the bum that we know about!
Eva, luckily it was in a panto and just for 'fun' but they were being very, very...in character :/
ok cathy and shorty yes we are both phycologically scarred!
well....that was quick...anyone need a clue?
ahhh...well, nothin wrong with that, i suppose
Ouwachita, yes!! Have you got the 6's? Please?
Cr 6 -- what a baby sleeps in
Ru 6 -- to Ru**** ones feathers
fe6...for he's a jolly good fe6...variant spelling
Ah, thank you sooo much! ^_^
Guess I'll go do some boring ol' crossword puzzles. :) Have a great day everyone!
Having said that, why is 'andle' a word? As in, "cor, guv, don't fly off yer andle!"
thankyou cathy i no sitting next to me but I can't b bothered!
oookay Gem :)
argh
hehe!
can't figure out the variant spelling for : he's a jolly good f---- :(

last two words: ra5/12 and ru5/24 - am I blind?
Has anyone got the second P? The one that doesn't mean to annoy?

ru 5 -- take your ru 6, minus the 2nd-to-last letter

You have 0word(s) left to find man, done before breakfast!
Nice one Eva! :)
I want another puzzle today! But, I am not addicted. No way, no how. ;)
woah, gotta go :) later!
i guess its a good thing we are semi-busy at work today...heh...gotta have SOMETHING to do!
31 words?! Morning everyone!
yes, a mere 31! and not even 31 tough ones! hehe
Good Morning and Good Day. Glad it was a short one today. This will get me going and doing the long needed stuff that needs doing. Everyone have a good one!
heh, chatlog is a bit quiet, what with no one having to linger here to finish the puzzle!
My first dip in since Safari holiday. 31 seems do-able although the ve4/8 is defeating me already!
Greetings all (whoever's there)! Alleyn - the v4 is a shortened form of what they call the second person in command here in the US And welcome back, too :)
Bugsy Isn't that vice?. Here it would be deputy
Alleyn, you're right - but sometimes they shorten the word by using the initials of the 2 words and kind of saying it as a word... Don't know if that helps! How about this: it has a doubled vowel in the middle and a high-scoring letter on the end... Hope that helps!
Bugsy! Weird word but got it. Now done the whole thing except the fe6/27. Never been so quick! Means I'll have to write the Christmas cards.
I know... I think it was a record time for me finishing!! And it's snowing like crazy out so I was looking forward to a nice, long Babble today!! :) Do you want a clue for the fe6?
Amazing! Start to finish in 20 minutes .................
Yay Alleyn!! Maybe Dr.God knows we all have Christmas stuff to do today LOL
fe6/27 "wheel's rim or portion of it"
Talk about weird words!! :)
Did you get it, however?
Yes, I got it - thanks!
Tightest grid I have seen in a long time! Hi all :)
well that was...different.
Hi Sprite! It's a quicky today :)
Sure is! Glad it is on one of my working days ;)
Hello everyone
i mean i sort of thought the odds were we'd have a shortish one today, but this is the shortest i've ever seen. my first grid was 44 and that was the shortest i'd done up until today.
We once had one of 20-something, but this is real small too.
Hi Hurshy, Alien :) Today I have loads of time to Babble, and it's a 15-minute grid. Yesterday when I had no time, it was over 200 words... I can't win !!
poor bugzy. i, on the other hand, have a lot to do today so i'm sort of relieved.
Yeah, I was just saying that maybe Dr.God knows that everyone has Christmas stuff to do today, so he gave us a little puzzle!
hello
If I try to make 'revue' one more time, I will have to kick myself.
Greetings All. Short word list today. Hopefully easy but I'll reserve judgement for until I start wordhunting.
Hi Mickie and Minski :)
for now though baby needs food so I'll be back later.
Sprite - I think I tried 'fever' about five times!!
Bugzy - we could help eachother. I kick you if you kick me ;)
Hi, Bugzy!
How about the wet fish of words that look like they're there, but aren't? Nicer than kicking :) Later Minski !
hey all any clues for the fe/5 and fe/6??? thanks@
sparbd - fe 6 - a word for a guy, but spelled funny. fe 5 - a criminal guilty of more than a misdemeanor
excellent! thanks! one to go!
Eeeee!
Ffffffffff!
Well, if this wasn't the fastest ever. Usually the small ones are hard, but this one isn't. Back tomorrow then ;)
finished first time ever!!!!!
ok, that was a joke. someone was supposed to pick it up and go Gggggg!
wait??? no prizes for finishing??
Congrats, sparbd! Feels great, doesn't it?
good for you sparbd!
Hhhhhhhhhhurshy!
Yay sparbd! Bye Sprite :) and LOL hurshy !! I got it, just too late to join in :)
usually theres champagne and a jaccuuzi for the finishers...but with such a short puzzle, i think the jaccuzzi would be rather full!!
Me thinks we need another jacuzzi :) And a few more bottles of champagne for today!!
Hello new loggers on!
ah, sprite. much appreciated. :)
Hi to late loggers on! Shall we ask small ones from Dr God over the next tem days? So satisfying to finish.
i just need small ones on the 20th and like the 27th or 28th. i'm going to be driving all day and don't know how i'm going to babble. it's very depressing.
Good morning. Finished last night but wanted to check in.
Hi, all. Only 31 words today!!!?!
hey harp! yeah, in a way it's sad, with a short puzzle, people aren't around as much and we can't see all the pretty tree topper icons!
let's sing! on the first day of christmas, my true love gave to me... a partridge in a pear tree
Hello, can anyone tell me how many words today please - probably very few by the look of the grid!
31, mummy
wow..am down to my last P..any clues on the p's? Have noodled my fingers off...must be extra dense today..arghhhhhhhh
Thank you Hurshy I thought I was struggling got 15 so must keep on trying!
lianakate, which p have you got?
the one to be aggravated..
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree!!
the other is a pe5 - a church seat plus a couple of vowels
P 5/18 ..thats the P i have
thanks , zoom! got it.. some stinky word..LOL..bless you! AM done...a miracle.
splat. hello.
good good, glad it helped. you can join in the singing now if you know the words - which i don't - at least not until five french hens!!
yay! finished a grid for my first time :oP
now i must go and PAY bills..ugh. Damn hospital stay bill came...gonna ruin my christmas..ack. Little presents for all..kids included!
or even five gold rings - doh!
is it 3 turtle doves?...
Zoom, I would prefer the french hens actually :)
hey miy, I actually heard some of miyavi's music last night... very cool. I got a look from my friend that said, 'huh, you don't know miyavi's work?!?!'
sorry to hear that lianakate - hope you're well again now?
four...maids a-mopping?
Finished in record time! Third one ever. Bang! Ahhhh! Bing! Ohhhh! Fireworks for everyone who finishes!
Superman* (((mtn))) wow, glad to hear it!!! ^_^
yeah, the french hens might come in handy in a food fight!
I seem to be okay..none of the cat scans showed anything serious..just gall stones, kidney stones...and a hiatal hernia...this I can deal with..(i hope) and thanks Zoom
it was good music
((((Miy))))
A partridge in pear tree 2 turtle doves 3 french hens 4 colly birds 5 golden rings 6 geese a-laying 7 swans a-swimming 8 maids a-milking 9 ladies dancing 10 lords a-leaping 11 pipers piping 12 drummers drumming
Wow, really? *heading to euphoria* what songs did you hear?
2 words left. Think I'll save them for a while..
sounds like you've been having a tough time lianakate - don't forget to look after yourself while you're looking after everyone else at christmas :)
i never heard them mention collie birds!
Oh...so nobody's mopping then? *disappointed*
I think alot of people say 'calling' birds...but I believe it is 'colly'
tor - same here, just 2 left.
Neither did I...I thought a collie was a dog...?
sorry Miy...no mopping...
My two words for you are ((((((Hugs)))))) and XxXxXkissesXxXxX
LOL..Miyavi..you can mop iffn y'all want to do so. Hey, did they clear up the air after the explosion?..Door back on?
Door is back on at last! Poor thing though, it's been through quite a time
thats it, eastern! Thats what we always "called" it..calling birds.
I'm really glad you liked it, Superman :)
calling birds...I just checked 4 different websites!

Miyavi....have you got the hump with me, cos i only dropped by for my daily Tor fix???

Has anyone got the V?
Yes Miyavi...it rhymes with 4 wheel drive!!!
Miyavi - do you have any clues for the qu???????? Oh Please.......

I'm done, what do I do for the rest of the day?

The qu? Yes! It rhymes with spell, (uh, big giveaway) and means to stop something...I think :/
And thanks everyone! :)
qu5--when someone tries to calm your fears...
Miyavi - Thank You - got it......Wheres the fish??????
...stop something or beat it. Well, almost there.

bye lotti
Miyavi - Baby girl you don't give yourself enough credit. Your awesome ------ do you hear me? You make the Faeries very happy with your free spirit
*big cheesy grin* ...*which then turns to smugness* well, you know, I've been told I'm amazing, but...:D
hint for an 5/10 anyone?
Keep that smile Miyavi --- It keeps people guessing** then your in my world &^$# wacko ^_^
thanks lottijw! got 'em!
No, seriously, thank you (*^_^*)
Lol Faerie! Better than being in my own world I guess :D
The last 4 letters of the AN5/10 are the NO4/4 switched around
Woo! Thanks Minskie! ...I didn't ask for the clue, but, uh, thanks :)
Grrr...I still need one of the N's on the second row. I have the Christmassy one and the person who tells tales :) Anyone got a clue for the last?
Miyavi - we encounter sooooooooo many people through out our lives whether in person (or the internet) and I keep them all guessing.....I make my world as intresting as possible and you should also
No problem Miy. I love your free spirit. You always make me smile (even when I'm ready to sell my baby to the next person who knocks on the door.)
Faerie, my world is probably only interesting to mad J-rock fans like myself ^_^ It's all good
whoops gotta go the boss just walked in
Miy, change your C in the tells tales one to a D
Oh...Minski, thank you :') ...Everyone's making me so happy today ^_^
The other N word is an Old English word for an aromatic ointment or at least that's the definition. There is a word that is in the grid sometimes that is an NE word for a geek or a studious one. Just switch the second letter.
D'oh! Thanks Superman! ^_^
And thanks Minski! :)
blushes **** I only heard 3 songs, and didn't understand a one... but was made to feel like a complete idiot by my friend Sean.
...Is it just me with a really bad urge to type in 'oeuf'? As in, French for egg?
What letter is the other 6-letter word? I have the c.
Lol Superman! If you like them I can always translate ^_^
there's a C, an F, and an R, Jo :)
I am only missing 2 words. The FE 6/27 and the WE 4/9 and then I'm done.
we is word for crying
THanks Shorty. I need the fish over here please.
morning MInski! MIssing the fe also. the we I have. are you asking for clues?
The We 4/9 - crying. The Fe is like the word, "for he's a jolly good f-----" but spelt with a vowel on the end rather than a W :)
yw
got it, my fe6 (alt. spelling) friend Minski!
Only for the FE. I can't believe I missed the WE. I looked for quite a while for it. Thanks for the flounder. *smack*smack*smack* I needed that.
Grrr! Still need that E :( ...surprisingly, it's not 'eoff' o_o
Just dropped by to say hi. Wasn't gonna play today , but how can I resist 31 words. 1st 13 came easy, now I'm slowing. How's everyone doing out there in the real worls?
Got it. Thanks Miy and walnutchen. Done! Now I can change the baby's poopy diaper. SEe you all later. I'll pop in to help periodically. Need to wrap Hubby's Chanukah gifts while he's at work. I got us tickets to see Spamalot!! I can't wait. I'll have to though. It isn't in Boston until March.
Lol! Later Minski :)
The E! The E! My kingdom for the E!
odds or ev** ?
go mininski!
*smacks head* thank you...:)
Hm. Why isn't donar a word? As in, "bats see where they're going using donar, which is something they invented but are very modest about, so just pretend to use sonar so as not to reveal the stupidity of the humans who are studying them"
That has got to be the quickest ever!! 22 mins wooohooo! afternoon all ;o)
Bobsta: Hi and well done!!! :)
thank you miya. i'll pop back later all gotta go Surf!
just 4 to go!
Woo Ishult! I've got 3 to go, which do you need?
I'm back... (liana - if you read this later...sorry I missed the show tunes...I had a meeting to go to! We'll do some broadway later!)
Haven't check with BJ's stasts yet today, but I'm missing 1x p, 1xr(bottom row) & 2x f (top row)
Urgh...the F5, anyone? Please?
Miya - f5 - criminal
fe5 another word for criminal
The two P's - pe5/18 ( to annoy someone) and Pe 5/20 - a kid's league game :)
...It's not feif, is it? *hopeful*
Just 2 to go an f and an r
miya...that's only 4 letters dear!
okay, I'm too spectacularly dim to get that criminal clue! *hangs head in shame* what's the point value?
Easty! Don't crush my images with vicious reality :)
fe 5/16... many times people will say, this person committed a fe _ _ _y
MIYA - take the past tense of "fall", remove the last letter and reverse "no"
Miya... I'm sorry! I would never intentionally hurt you darling!!
YEEES, just 1 to go, an f4, here we go a monkeying!!!!!
Woo! Thanks! Gottit! *does small celebratory dance* Okay, one more to get, one more to get... ooh, the tension, the tension...
Miya - cantelopes & honeydews are types of these & waterm _ _ _ _ all rhyme with the fe 5
Ish- if it's the one I wasn't seeing... think gas, coal, wood - used as this...
*still dancing* thanks Easty, just one to go... ...and guess what, it isn't flon :/
Go Miya!
Miy - you're close...
And she is DONE!!! *performing lap of victory around the babbleverse* my first completion ever!!!

Hey Harp! :)
Hi EB, been around sporadically -- been missing you too. *hugs*

luvmypom- glad to help pass the time. Did you find the realy BAD photo of me?

Woo-Hoo! I like the short puzzles!!! Done!
safrron - glad it worked...sometimes it can be tempermental when you type in words!
Congrats Saffron!
I'll tell the wife, she'll be glad she's not the only one who thinks so!
Ish - now you have us wondering... : )
queef!
does anyone know why this is a different puzzle than the one i saw about 4 hours ago?
lalobstah - the puzzle changes every day at midnight (Chicago, USA) time...perhaps it was yesterday's puzzle??
rid - that's not a word, but is sounds like a good one... as Charlie Brown would say "good gueef!"
This is the first time I have completed a grid \o/ yay.. thanks for the tips, though I didn't ask for them, I knew that someone must've asked already..
haha.
i don't think it ws yesterday's. i checked it about 8am eastern time. now it's about noon. it was a different puzzle, i'm sure. it had an s.
Jun - CONGRATS!!!
lalobstah - how much did you drink last night??? tee hee hee!
Good job Jun!
LOL EB
i guess i was drinking this morning!
Hi everyone!!! 31 words what joy..
Hi Schroeder!
are there any clues for fe6? It's the only one I have left.
lalobstah - those mimosas will kill ya!
hi Schroeder!
f6 - fe4 + two vowels
Hey Schroeder! It's not that bad today...hell, even I finished ^_^
Thanks.. I don't speak english as my mother's tongue so these can be pretty hard for me sometimes =/ This is good exercise for my vocabulary.
the f4/7 that ends in two consonants
mimosas, did some say mimosas....My parents are going up this weekend so I know I will be having a few of those. Congrats Miyavi!!!
thank you lupe. I finished in record time today. I might actually get something done besides babble today.
Jun - than even better... I do speak English as my native tongue & there are tons 'o words I've never seen before!!
Oops, that would be coming up this weekend...maybe I had one this morning also...
Miya - you SWORE!
Thanks Schroe :)
*goes and sits in the naughty corner* E-heh...I meant heck :/
doxy - congrats *pours mimosa for Schroeder*
Jun - where are you from?
thanks eastern
Miy -that's my girl!
(you can come out of the corner...I was just giving you a gentle reminder...) *hug*
Eastern (and anyone else interested)- I had a chat with GreyWolf this morning. She was interested in what I did for a living, (I live on kibbutz in Isael if you didn't already know). Anyway, if anyone else is curious, I just updated my profile to include the website of my kibbutz. Happy reading all
Robert - you're welcome! Congrats on finishing!
Ish...Woulfie is a "he"
Miy-did you really swear? I'm glad I wasn't in the room to hear it. At least you know you have to go the naughty chair
OOPPS!! hope his not online now
Faerie, a minor blip...the Devil's home. :/ *blushing* I meant heck, I really did! *lip starts wobbling, tears in eyes*
yeah I am done woohoo
I'm from Finland.
Ish -not sure if I can get to the site (at work right now...) but I'll definitely check it out at home later!
Most of us are too damn stupid to know any better.
Ty EasternBlue, I had to check in and see your creation of the day, it is beautiful as always. Miyavi - go wash your mouth out with soap!!
...nobody knows where I came from...some, however, suspect Mars
OOOH...Faerie! ((Faerie)) yay, now I don't feel bad :D
Miy- don't cry sweetie (puts arms around Miy and gives her a big hug and whispers - I say those words too sometimes) We all know your a good girl
*gagging on bar of soap* Did it really have to be carbolic? *sighs* firm but fair :/

Faerie - what kind of dog is Max??
Yah luvmypom!! *pats her on back* no A2Z
Shorty -- Yup. And the older they get, the more fun I think it is. My kids have turned out great (knock on wood) and we have a blast. Got the whole gang together in Minneapolis in October. First time in several years they've all been together.
lwg - you can always stay & chat to avoid work (pulling you to the 'dark side'....) mwah ha ha ha haaa!!
Hello all :) Moo!

Uh oh... EB's dark side is showing! lol
TOES!! Greetings & Salutations!
Oh mine have too thank God there not into drugs or anything like that and they are very respect full to other people which i am sooooo happy about
Eastern - Max is a Shih Tzu and he is my biggest fan. I get home from work and he goes nuts....just as though I finished a babble grid
Hiya TSM
Eastern! :D Cute icon!
toesock woowoo nice pic
caitlyn - I've been playing since late Sept/early October...my hubby found the site for me (I think he regrets it now!!)
thanks Toes! luvie - not too dark...I just love to chat with people!!
Shorty, we'll have to compare stories sometime. Perhaps I'll drop you an email? :)
Faerie...we (hubby & I) live in an apt still...so no dog right now...but they are the best!!!
Eastern i think mine is pleased it stops me nagging ,two of my grandchildren are now babblers also
EB - I can tell you're and good as they come. I just loved the "mwah ha ha ha haaa" lol

Ooh, hey Toes! :) How are you?
Eastern - I have to say He is very loyal. He doesn't cheat on me and loves me unconditionally
Okay down to 1 word.....

Oh TY luvmypom..... no A2Z for me either today, I feel like a grown up...
the Boss is back I gotta go for awhile
Bye Faerie
Okay, later Faerie :)
Well ladies, after 25 years of working full time, my current stint of domestic goddess is calling. All my previous excuses for dust bunnies are no longer valid. Y'all have a great day! *hugs all around*
I give... I can only find 16! It is driving me crazy!!!
Kmee, whatever clues you need, just give a yell :) I'm done, and I have loads of time, so go ahead :)
Congrats Shroe! Bye Faerie!
You have a good day hunting dust bunnies luvmypom!! Watch out for the sneaky ones. *hugs*
bye luvie! Kmee - there are 31 words in total...
Hi everyone! Was teaching at the police academy this morning, but I see a late start shouldn't deter me.
Deustch - we'll see you 'done' in an hour or less!!
luvie...maybe you can lure the dustbunnies with some carrots!!
Hey Deutsch :)
EAstern, Not if I get to chatting!
Hi Deutsch!
well better go you all have fun babbling I have work to do blah:P
later, shorty!
ah, Deustch - that's always my downfall too! (oh...and this little thing called work)
bye shorty!
Bye shorty..
Later Shorty :)
Welcome Deutsh are you in the police? If so anytime you fancy a swap my son will be very willing!
bye all its been fun as always :)
hi caitlyn, I teach at the academy. But I'm not in the police force. Is your son an officer?
what do the phrases in between asterisks mean?
If somebody puts a phrase in between asterisks in the log, it means it's an action, like *hangs head in shame*. It just means they're doing it :)
Kmee - usually an 'action' instead of 'saying something'
Yes Deutsch He has been in for over 15 years,My dad my uncle and two brothers have also done their time .
Caitlyn, it would be cool to bring him over (and you, of course)! When you come to Baltimore, MD, I'll show you around the academy!
All this police talk reminded me that I need to renew my drivers license....oops
Schroeder - it's a chance to get a new pix if you don't like your existing!!
git 'r done, Shroeder! Git 'r done!
errggg...gotta go do some 'work' stuff... I'll try to stop back later to chat! Bye!!
Thanks if we ever get to USA we will look you up In the meantime i guess i will just talk to my fellow babblers around the world
Bye EasternBlue, don't work to hard...lol
Later Easty :) Kmee, can I offer you any help?
Schroeder - thanks! I'm trying to wrap stuff up..only 2 days of work this week (well, 1 1/2 and then 2 days next week...then I'm on vacation until the new year!!)
definitely, Caitlyn! Later, EAstern!
anyone have clues for the pe5/18 or the fe5/16?
Wow EasternBlue, we actually have to much work this year to shut down for the holidays..hoping to at least take a day off sometime
Ellocin, I have a pet pe*** against students sleeping in class!
ellison pe5 very small fe5 convict
The fe is a criminal, and the pe is to annoy somebody :)
Thank you thank you thank you
You're welcome :) AND I gotta go ^_^ Later everyone, I'll probably be back just 'cos it's such a novelty to give clues!

Johnsmith - what is ajax
Schroeder - yes I am back and determined to finish this grid in between doing my "work" and answering the phone.
AJAX stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML....the ' new' way of creating web based applications...(gmail, google maps, etc.) Read somewhere that this site has some nice AJAX stuff...like this chatbox...cool stuff
Faerie let us know if we can help..
I haven't asked for a clue before but . . . I have one word left to find today - the ra5/12. I don't see a clue posted.
Thank You - I'm just jumping in and out as the Boss keeps coming in my office and asking questions. *looks around and thinks to self I must be really smart for him to come to me for answers"
yoo hoo! :D
leisl - That was my last one also, it is a type of gas.
Howdy Babbler!!!
hi Schroeder! :)
Hi babbler!

Thanks, Shroeder. I saw it immediately after reading your clue!
Hello everyone just joining in.
Hi faerie!
YW leisl..congrats!!
Well, heluau heluau, it is I again! Ready to become the clue-fairy :)
Deutsch-hey hows it going?
*knocks Miya down* well done, petal!!! I saw you finished!! :D xxx
Hey, so are you done, Leisl? way to go! Hi again, Miyavi!
Fank oo, fank oo :D
Did I hear "Clue Faerie" how about the "a" word and Babbler don't be mean to Miy she has had a rough day already
Just got started, Faerie. Still have 18 to go!
Welcome back clue fairy... Okay off to a doctors appt. be back in a while, EasternBlue keeps those eyes in the back of your head open..
Hey again, Deutsch, how are you doing? What was that about an 'a' word? Someone needing a clue? *grabs wand*
Miy- yes please grab the wand and give me the "a" word
Later, shroeder! wave that wand, clue F!
heh heh! I've got 7 words.... hey Miya, give me clues to all of 'em!! Start at the top! LOL!!! :D

oh gosh, I'm exhausted already..... *wipes brow*
*pings wand* your wish is my command, Babs! The a has been posted, so next one down - cr 6/24, what a baby sleeps in

Miy-thank you *hugs*
you're welcome, Faerie, that's what we magical beings are for! ^_^
Okay Babs, next, da 4/5 - what you do when you have a hole in your sock, or what you say when you're irritated
Does anyone have clues for fe 6/27 and ra 5/12??
Is this the shortest puzzle to date? Has anybody seen a shorter one?
Hey, I could really get into this...
done
Miy-exactly I'm not allowed to bring my wand to work with me so today I will sit close to you for clues
I'm new does it tell somewhere the total number of words possible??
it's the shortest I've seen, Jessie : )
woohoo for babbler! LOL
Staci_Kaye, once you sign up and go pro, you'll get a stats panel which tells you how many words there are. Today there are 31 :)
staci-kaye - see the panel on the right of your screen - Friends of Babble? Click on Babblers Anonymous, at the bottom. Then General, then Stats for today. Welcome to Babble! : )
no smaller, I haven't finished yet..... Miya's giving me clues, starting from the top! LOL! :D
How is the weather out there Babbler?
Hi staci, Hi smaller! 12 yet to go!
Oh, and Hi Jessie!
QueenRee, the fe 6/27 is like the word, "for he's a jolly good f-----" only the last letter is changed, The ra 5/12 is the ra, then the first part of the mans name ---ald :) Also the name of a cute duck!
jessie - beautiful day, today. Bright, clear sunshine all day, then a stunning sunset. Mild too. (snow forecast next week... boo!). HOw about you?
thank you
Howdy Deutsch and Miya! Babbler - oh! I thought you were being ever-so subtle and fishing for a "woohoo"!!! : )
Babbler, I'm in California; so if the weather is under 70F, we're too cold. It's sunny and brisk.
you are exceptionally good at clues, Miya! pray, continue! : D
when have you ever known me to be subtle, Smaller? As if! lol :D
I'm new. Where do you find out how many words there are? scox
Jessie! LOL, it's snowing here and around 28! BRRR!
hi scox! scroll down a little for my post at 12.37pm. : )
LOL Babbler, I was waiting for the "HEY, SOMEONE PAT ME ON THE BACK!" more akin to the subtle Babbler that I've grown fond
I got all the words, for the first time ever, but something happened and it didn't register one of my ru words on the stats page. What's up with that?
it's 6 degrees Farenheit here
refresh and enter it again, Sandilightful. sometimes that happens..... just a glitch in the Matrix... : /
any clues on the ru's?
Smaller, time for a cup of hot tea, if you ask me! Sandi, refresh or retype
Faerie, ain't that just life? Are you stuck on anything else that I can help with? (may I take your order, ma'am?)
wooo hooo! I'm half way already!! sheeesh, this it hard going...... *wipes brow again*
smaller, what the heck are you doing in 6F? I could do that in January for a minute.
I have to get something to eat! see you all in a bit!
Ooh, right Babs, next one down is...do 4/5 - to be put on the do--, to recieve money from the council
Thanks Babbler, it worked. My first solved babble!!
sam is back!
Hey Sam! How is the puzzle going for you?
gottit... hey Sam!! :D
bravo Sandilightful!!!!!!!
Deutsch- I'd make tea but it be too tempting to try to fit in the cup. Jessie1- it's an unusual temp. we're normally in the 20s this time of year. But not like your 70s, YOU POOPIEHEAD!!!!
quite hard but i have ten more and i did it without help.
good going, Sam!!! : )
Woo, keep it up, Sam! I'm done, so if you could use any help, then you just need to ask :) I'm being the clue fairy tonight :)
good for you sandilightful!
Miy-is poopiehead a bad word -Smaller just said it"
yay for you Miya!!!!! You make a great clue fairy! You and Hurshy have very nifty clues
:O !!! *gasp*! such language! *covers eyes*
I think it made me laugh more than anything, Faerie...sounds like something my friends would say. Today a girl came up to me and told me I was a "f****** reject c***" I looked at her and said, "you're in a bit of a poo mood, aren't you?"
Thanks Speedfreak Sam. You are all so very kind.
oh please excuse my potty mouth. the bitterness has creeped from the cold into my vernacular. I should get to have an exemption. Tourette temperatures. hahahahaha
*blushing* well, Smaller, you know how I just love to help others... ...lying. I just like the unconditional gratitude. Ask for more clues or die x_x
Babbler, I guess you don't need a refrigerator; just put the milk outside along with your lunch.
gimme gimme gimme, Miya!! :D
you're not wrong, Jessie! :)
Babs, the next one down, do 4/5 again - a barbie do--
miya-do you have the w4 that doesn't mean to cry???
gottit.... : ) I like today's grid!!
oh wait, Fairie - STOP BEING A TATTLETALE! : )
Yup, Sam, we 4/8 - all Hallow's eve is also known as hallo we--
I hate todays grid!
*claps Miya's great clue*
smaller, on my last email I put Babbler but I ment you.
no now it's good thanks miyavi!
that's cos you're actually working on it, Sam! I gave up and I'm playing with Miya! lol! :D
*big cheesy grin* oh, you know, Babs, it's a gift, I don't know what to say...
You're welcome Sam! :)
you can say, "the next clue is....." ROFLOL!! :D
Jessie1, Oh ok, I scrolled down. I stored some ovaltine right outside my door at work and it froze. in about an hour. Oops.
newbie here again. What does 4/5 mean?
4 letters score - 5 points see Babble Rules at the top of the page to see how scores are worked out. : )
LOL!!! "The next clue is (da 4/5 you!) do 4/5, again! The do, then something is not applicable so put -- on the end :)
Hi speedfreak sam!
*claps great clue!!*
*blushing* oh, really, too kind...
pray, continue! : )
next up, ev 4/7 - the numbers 2,4,6,8...are all ev--
smaller, maybe you should stick to the cup of tea. What type of work do you do?
*cheers and claps for Miya*
*preens*
I'll tell you what F's I've got: emotion, bloke, criminal, number, petrol, what a flag does.
LOL Miya!!!! *holds mirror in better light for Miya*
Girls, It's getting a little deep with the Miya Day celebration!
Okay, Babs, let's f-bash! fe 4/7 Past tense of fall fl 4/7 an ice fl-- fl 4/7 to run away
Jessie1, I sell plants. What do you do? besides continually endanger yourself to skin cancer with the California dress code?
*claps for Miya!!*
Thank you, Babs, dahling!!! Shush, Smaller...*preens*
*holds mirror up for Miya*
of the N's, I only have crimbo....
LOL!
*smug grin* Babs, you can be my attendant when I go on tour! :D
it would be my pleasure, Treasure! : D
A babble clue tour, miya?
ne 4/7 - if something is impossible, it's ne--- going to happen...just leave off the last letter :)
no, when she's a rock star
*in awe!* ooooooh!
Smaller...yes. That :D Don't spoil my illusions of grandeur :D
and what to my wondering eyes doth appear..... but a tiny little grid.... and 31 little words...... God Bless Us, Everyone!!!
wooo! I wanna be a roooocker :D hey, Babs, how did you know? :D
The snow falls in Moscow.... ; )
Miya, cos I'm your bezzie mate. :D xxx

LOL Mamabear!! *flies over and knocks her down* hellooooooooo!! :D
ok.. I got the q word... AND I typed it in... I'm committed.... (I think maybe I should be)
smaller, I'm at working hard in an office as you can probably guess. We make software, sell it and train the users. Unfortunately we don't have a beach so I think I am pretty safe of the evil sun rays.
someone finished in 15 mins today, Mamabear!
*mamabear scrambles up after Babbler's attack..... hiya Babbler!!!!!* and everyone else!!
FINISHED!
Bravo Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D
*looks up in shock* good grief! I have a friend?! My word, I was only presumptious enough to think of you as my minder (*^_^*)
15 MINUTES!!!! WOWIE KAZOWIE!!!! OK. gotta search.... here I go...... *mamabear pulls out Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass and gets to work before her lunchtime is over*
WOO! GO SAM!!! :D
Woohoo for Sam!
yup, I'm your bezzie. And your minder too!!! LOL! :D
Jessie1, ditto on the working hard. your babbling is justified tho b/c it's computer related, right? You're doing research! I can write you a note for your boss if you need it.
Miya and babs oh it's so sweet to witness a BFF forming! Let's have a slumber party to celebrate!!!!! I'll bring the s'mores and the grape pop. always my fave for slumber parties!
Miya and I have been bezzies for aaaaages, haven't we hun? :D
(well, at least from my point of view....... ) : /
smaller, I am not babbling (sort of); I finished last night. I am practicing my typing. see... I don't need a note since I consider this my study time... Why aren't you at work?
What, now, I come back to a slumber party? I'm on my way to finishing!
nope Deutsch, I get to braid your hair first
Of course Babs! :) ...just as long as nobody laughs at my morning hair :D
Miya, there are people who go to hairdressers on the King's Road to get that look!!! And pay good money too!! lol! :D
Miy, fe6? ?????
Babs, which just goes to show... ...you have never seen my morning hair (*^_^*)
Superman, fe 6, like the word, "he's a jolly good fe----" but change the last letter to a vowel ^_^
can't be any worse than mine! lol! :D
so, MIya, where were we, the N's wasn't it? *gentle nudge nudge* ; )
okay, na 4/5, a coppers' na--, someone who tells stories to the police, and na 4/5 again, the same, just change the last letter to another consonant
Jessie1, What?! I AM working, Silly! Kidding, it's lunch time here. Thanks for keeping me ethically balanced. now I'll refer to you as a "moral poopiehead"! : )
smaller, braid away! I have a 9 year old friend who loves to braid my hair. LOL
*claps for Miya* : D
Lol Smaller! (*^_^*)
*takes bow*
And I'm done!!!!!!! Have a good afternoon.... back to work for me!!!! And THIS was the absolute highlight of my day!!
bravo Mamabear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woohoo for mama, that was FAST miya, you are going to be one tired girl for all that gesticulating (not sure if that's the right word and I'm too lazy to look it up)
Woo! Go Mama!!
as they say.... "Ive still got it Eddie, poop-oop-a-doo-OOP" Betty Boop
Deutsch, would you like an innie or an outie?
c'mon, Miya... only 7 words to go...... heh heh :D
Smaller, I am at this moment eating my way through some energy-giving mince pies :D Health-aware, that's me!
Jessie1, I checked out your profile and you said you are right there. i just looked right there and you weren't there. So i tried over there and up there but no luck either. maybe you're too far out there to be near there to qualify for right there hahahahahahaha
Okay, Babs, how are you doing for the P's?
I don't have either.... : /
I mean.... clues clues clues!! :D
Miya-I'm down to the last 4 words F4/7, F 4/2, N 1/3, R 1/2 . Do you have your wand handy????
Miya, good girl way to keep your strength up for adulations (again, no idea if right word, and again, too lazy to look it up)
smaller, your choice! Woo hoo for me! I've finished! Thanks all!
*merrily does the dance of doneness*
woohoo for zebra lady with an innie!
woo hoooo Deutsch!
smaller, every time I look in the mirror I am right there. I don't understand what you are talking about. It must be 6F in Montana. By the way, it's Mr. Moral Poopiehead to you.
Deutsch- congrats......Faerie Dance for you
OOOw, a faerie dance! Yea!
Faerie, Babs, I'm never without it :) f 4/7 - either running away, or an ice fl--, don't know which you need...and which one is N 1/3?!?! Babs, the P's...pe 5/18, to annoy somebody (or the poltergeist in Harry Potter, without the s) AND pe 5/20 a kid's league...it has two syllables that rhyme
*claps for fab clues!!*
so, the next lot I need are the ru's...... :Dxxx
LOL, Mr. Bossy Moral Poopiehead! Well, since our new Babble-Only-On-Free-Time policeman is being so sticklery, I have to go to work now. Actually have a meeting, or else i'd just say my lunches are 3 hours. Happy Babbling everyone!
Hi y'all! Haven't seen you in days and days!
sure thang, wagamama (no, I don't know where that came from either) ru 4/11 - a poncey collar worn by an Elizabethan person. ru 5/24 - add a vowel to the ru 4/11 ru 6/39 - to ru---- one's feathers :)
Hey Scouts! :)
yeah! there must have been a coup at work!
Thank You everyone but the Boss just brought a deposit in for me to take to the bank so I'm outta here. The clues were great. Maybe I'll be back later this evening "as FaerieKae" (*^_^*)
*claps for Miya!!!!* 1 word left, my little sugar-pie! the V..
No, I just figured since the puzzle was so small I could get it done in my thirty-minute lunch break.
31 words? Barely a snack...
ve 4, short american slang for Vice President... She would be the ve**
Scouts, people have been completing it in 15-20 mins today. I'm just hanging out with Miya! :D
WOO! Come on Babs! V is for Victory and also for the ve 4/8 which rhymes with your unhappy we 4/9
LOL!! Hey Anj!!!!! ((xx)) :D
Hey Anj! I am the clue fairy today! *waves wand* And I'm lovin' it...
Anj, Miya completed her first puzzle today. *looks at Miya proudly* :D
but Miy, C is for Cookie, thats good enough for me! C is for cookie thats good enough for me!
*Does fandango of finishedness...* I would say 'woot!' but I fear it's a hollow victory : /
*gives Superman a cookie and pats his head*
Miya!!! I just finished!! Only an hour and 20 mins!! ROFLOL!!! :D
how long did that take you, Anj?
Yea to the finishers!
Hi All : D MIya, go and wave your wand near Westminster please. They all need a clue there lol : ) Hi Babbler (((x)))
Yes, but I wanted to finish AND have time to chat...congrats, Miy!
*clapping for Babs* WOOO! YOU GO BABS! *glares accusingly at Anj* It makes us happy...(*^_^*)
ugh!! no way did you do this puzzle in TWO minutes!!!
did you draw your star, Anj?
Lol Anj!!! Thanks Scouts...I'm sickeningly proud of myself :D Man, somebody please shut me up...
*hands Miya a microphone*
nope, miy, you rock. enjoy it...you know it'll be like 400 words tomorrow.
In truth? 15 mins and that includes a coffee break : ) I've been doing the Xmas thing in Bristol & Bath and they were both missing the serried ranks of desperate last minute shoppers. Bad sign for the High St. They will have to start their 3 rd pre-Xmas 50% reductions sale soon ; )
oooo Scouts, you'll put the Hex on us : /
that reminds me, Argos have got half price on all smoothie makers. I just noticed today. (if you haven't found one already)
lol Scouts! Will do, then ^_^
*looks innocent* after all, it would be churlish to ignore the advice of one of my esteemed elders
Elder, My Aunt Fanny! I'm not that much "elder."
yeah, yeah, she just called you Old, scouts!
Really? Cheers Babs - might get one for the folks : ) My star is a download. My brain downed tools last night and my creative centre threw a hissy fit : /
Get over it, Mtn. You're "elder" than I am!
but Miy calls me superman! and everyone knows that men age better than women... We become... seasoned..
I spent ages trying to draw a fairy, then I gave up. Even my stars kept going wrong!! This one looks ok, I thought.
*blushing madly* I just meant it as someone who was better at this game than I was! No ageist insults meant! I should have said sempai!
*Anj hurriedly digs slit trench & dives in* Dangerous MTN, dangerous... LOL!
trust me ANJ, there will be a hand print somewhere on my face or head next time scouts mom comes over.
oh luv! *puts protective arm around Miya* here: three cheers for Miya for giving me all the clues today!! hip hip HOOORAYYYY! hip hip HOOORAYYYY! hip hip HOOORAYYYY! :D
You still have more grey hair than I, and my wrinkles are "charming." Plus, everyone of G's friends asks who his "young" new girlfriend is...so!
well, you know the obvious jokes one could make, but who is this 'young' person he is dating? I thought he was only dating you! (and its salt and pepper... meanie)
well, time to go eat.... and watch Bleak House...."Shake me up, Judy!!!" LOL!! :D see y'all tomorrow! xxx
Hey Miya, we don't do better, we're a team : D One day i'm going to start this at 6am and see what the morning shift get up to
the morning shift are FAB, Anj!!! you'll love it!
'nite Babbler : ) xx
'nite Anj, xxx write chapter 2 later, ok? ; )
Lol, later Babs! Ooh, Anj, that morning shift...they're a dangerous lot. *narrows eyes* yargh, they'll give ye clues one minute, then cut ye throat the next! Yargh!
Oooh, Superman...harsh! (*^_^*)
almost done, can anyone help me with the last we- we9. I'm having trouble even figuring points. :-(
No worries, Miy. He Shall Be Punished.
Jo, you will we... when I tell you ; )
OMG, I can't believe I missed that ... get the fish out. Thanks Anj.
...If this starts to involve whips, I'm leaving :D
*Anj hurreidly checks UN Wepaons Inspectorate Confiscated Doomsday Devices Cache for Kryptonite on MTN's behalf* ...and you're going to..........
......
.... live! ha! : )
No, no whips. We don't have that kind of relationship. It's just regular punishment...like witholding visits from Her Highness Miss Scout...
*breathes sigh of relief*
Okay, if you refresh, there is my 'arty' Christmas icon effort. Miyavi in a santa hat, pulling a stupid face and sticking his middle finger up at the camera. Can't say fairer than that ^_^
Jo, that one gave me the run around as well lol
hi kids...just jumping back in for a chat...
Hi Mtn & Scoutsmom - haven't seen you in awhile!!
Hey Easty :)
I don't do much of that we/9'ing ... that must be it. Ok, at risk of shaming myself one last time, hint on my last fe - fe6?
Yep, long time no see! I have 10 minutes left to finish. Yikes!
Yo EB : )
If Dr. God is out there -- why does the "R" tile NOT show up in Netscape??? Just wondering.
Lupe613. I often have trouble downloading all the tiles. It even happens in Firefox and IE. Refresh, even if you have to do it more than once. They'll usually come in if you refresh.
Miya - nice job on all the clues for Babs...sorry I didn't get to see her (or Mamabear) today!
Wait, can I just ask...Superman, Scouts, you two know each other in real life, right?
Oooh, thanks Easty...I felt so important (*^_^*)
Miy darling, even without the clues, you are important!!
Jo - I've tried to refresh multiple times each day - to no avail. Oh well. Hey, that avocado is making me hungry for some guacamole!
Bummer, Lupe613. Is it always the R? How bizarre. Maybe you need to try Firefox, eh? My brother painted that avacado :-) Making me hungry now too.
*thursday-tackles anj*
I feel a 'mexican' night for dinner coming on...
^_^ Thanks Easty ^_^
eva - I thought it was just a "Tuesday tackle"...is there one for every day of the week?? lol!
No clues on the fe-6? Miya? Got to get back to work ...
theres definitely a tackle for every day of the week, sometimes several! what type they are depends on my creativity ot the given moment...hehe
OMG ... nevermind! I got it! Yea, dun. Back to work!
fe 6 - "for he's a jolly good fe----", only change the last letter to a vowel ^_^
jo -- "for he's a jolly good FE****" just change the last letter
*throws wand across room in a sulk*
Jo - yes always the "r" it's actually comical. I've been using firefox lately - it's the only one I can use to retrieve my aol e-mail while I'm at the office anyway. Tacos anyone?
Hi EvaNadine : ) Thursday tackle...lol : D
Miy...why the wand throwing??
Yay! finished!
EB, stereo clues... : )
Easty, Jo got the word before I could give her a clue. Yes, I'm that petty.
wtg Mooog : )
Woo! Mooog! :)
poor, poor Miya... it'll be o.k. dearie!
Woo hoo Moooog!
Too right, I've forgotten already. Who's for coffee?
cocoa? (I don't much care for coffee!!)
...with marshmellows AND whipped cream!
...does the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland like to be called Angus?? Go Miy : D
only just logged on. are there really only 31 words? is it the smallest babble yet?
newbie here. I just completed the 31 words. This is fun.
Okay...one coffee and one cocoa : ) Obviously, mince pies come with these as complimentary Christmas cheer
scox...all the better to deceive you & lure you into the world of Babble... great chat...some puzzles are beasts!! this is a goodie to start!! Linda - sprite mentioned there was one with under 30 once...
Linda0, remember size is not imporatnt ; ) wtg scox : ) Watch out tho', it's addictive...
...it's what you do with it that counts...
Yes. Size counts. See you tomorrow. I'm hooked.scox newbie
scox - see you tomorrow!!
Later Scox :)
Miya - what exactly is IN a mince pie??
(I know...those darn Americans!)
Easty, I have absolutely NO idea...
*gasps* You used a babble word! Go sit in the corner!
EB, depends where you're from over here. Traditionally it's mincemeat, but 90% of them on offer at xmas will be the fruity version...
*sobbing silently* stupid berry, it always does this to me!
uh, just realized how weird that sounds...
well, that was the quickest yet! see you tomorrow
See you Linda :)
'bye Linda Miya, having fun with a blackberry there??
*wiping away tears* yes, sorry, that does sound strange...I mean the song, Berry, by Dir en Grey. Really sad song written from the point of view of a child that's being abused, and the chorus always makes me burst into tears
*sitting quietly in corner for using grid word* I was trying not to swear!!
*hands Miya a tissue whilst staying in corner*
Oh Easty! *pats* come back in, we miss you :)
Thanks Miya! Mincemeat was originally a conglomeration of bits of meat, dried fruit and spices, created as an alternative to smoking or drying for preservation. Mincemeat containing actual meat has become less common over the years. The customary form today typically consists of raisins, spices, grated apple, and animal suet, though many commercial varieties use hard vegetable fat instead, making it completely vegetarian. Mincemeat may also contain currants, candied fruits, and brandy, rum or other liquor.
bye linda!
*Hurls at the sight of mincemeat*
Thank you for the tissue :) It's weird though, since the lyrics of the chorus aren't really that sad.
Only 31 words. Pooh. I'm done already (after an hour). Shortest one I can remember.
*hands Judi a bucket*
Judi - LOL! what an entrance!!
Sorry, but mincemeat does have that effect on me. Pardon my manners. Should at least say hello before I hurl.
Ah Miya - who can explain the way a song can affect us!
True, Easty, but you'd think a song in which the only words I can understand are "mama", "papa", "itai (it hurts)", "raspberry jam" and "strawberry" wouldn't have such an effect!
it's the mood of the music too...or the combo - or who knows?? (this is, of course, coming from someone who cries at Hallmark commercials!!)
Judi...I thought it was funny! I've never had the "m" word...so I can't speak from experience!
lol Easty! "nine years since my conception, and, every night with the cat I go to sleep, and in the morning without fail I always put plenty of jam on my favourite bread, and nothing changes but raspBerry jam" ...not exactly tear-jerking stuff, really!
Miya...hmmmmmm!!
Er...it makes more sense when put with the rest of the song...and rhymes when sung in Japanese...
Miy - I'd probably cry over it too...(the whole song & all)...
heh! Not just me then :) Which of course leads me to the next song on my Dir en Grey playlist, Embryo...and this one really gets the tears going! *kleenex at the ready* What do you usually cry over?
spilt milk? hmmm...it depends on my mood...but many songs really do 'catch' you...at the U2 concert, when Bono sang the song he wrote for his father...that got me misty-eyed!
Awwww...what about that song that some guy wrote for his son who died of falling out of a skyscraper? Something about, "would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven"?
(it's "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own")...lyrics can be found on U2's site...
Miya - Eric Clapton...that gets me too...
uh huh, I may just check that out :)
eric clapton's stairway to heaven
Nava - hello!
Eric Clapton, that's it...we had to sing that in music and everyone laughed at me because I was crying!
hint's for the ru5 please!!
Thanks, Nava :) *remembers manners* and hi! How are you?
The ns on the second from bottom are xmas and the other two just end with different letters
I am stuck on the n at the bottom.... I cabnt see for looking!
Miya - someone's looking for CLUES!!!!!!
Cracking up - Ive just answered a post WAAAY back in the log *sticks head between hands and wishes the alcohol hadnt run out*
*gasps* never fear, the clue fairy is here!
ru5. same as ru4 but add a vowel to the end
Granadan, the n on the bottom is like something impossible (something that will ne--- happen) but with the last letter taken off
*whispers to granadan* Miya likes being clue fairy...it's her first time finishing the puzzle!!
Ta Miya! That was the last one I needed.
*pours granadan a BIG glass of champers*
*whispers to easternBlue* I could kiss her feet for that it was driving me batty but dont tell her!
Woo! Nice one! (*^_^*)
*whispers back* she'll accept feet kissing...
That is the one alcoholic drink I hate! Now a nice pint of Baileys, or a jack daniels.....
*periscope appears in log* Just checking in. I'm in combat with the tree decorations so please excuse the silence...
First one Ive finished since it all changed - Dear Dr God.... Could you please make it play a fanfare or show Brad Pitts bottom as a completion prize....
*dumps champers down the drain...wait, no...into MY glass* *pours BIG snifter of Baileys & hands to granadan*
Anj, don't let the defences down!
Wow - large baileys, babble finished and thoughts of Mr pitts rear end...... heaven can wait.
Anj - I thought you'd left...glad to see you're still lurking...hope the tree is holding up against your decorating attempts!
Oh, Dr God, she doesn't know what she's saying...she means Miyavi's bottom, of course ^_^ ...er, that's Miyavi, the guy. Not what you call me on here!
granandan - cheers! for finishing...
ROFLMAO!
Well it hasn't thrown a paddy and shed 10000 pine needles yet so I'm taking that as some form of seasonal acquiescence...
er...what's a 'paddy'?
No, Anj! That's what they do! They get your guard down and then turn on you, shedding every single needle on the tree and inviting stray dogs to come and pee on it :/
What a pleasant break this puzzle was for today.
hi pbr!
EB, means hissy fit, tantrum... Thanks Miy, I will deplot the anti-dog missile defences...
Hey Pbr! :) How are you?
*salutes* heil Anjypops!
ahh...I wasn't sure if that was the English way of saying 'pinecone'...also something of which to be cautious!
lol Easty! ^_^
well...I have a bit more work to do & another conf. call at 5:00 (dealing w/ people for work all over the US can be challenging to find 'common times')... See you all tomorrow (I hope!)
Later Easty!!! ^_^
I'd better be off too...later :)
Hey all! Finished this morning before 7 except for one 4 letter f word (don't tempt me)... have lists been posted yet so i can figure the darn thing out??

Hi markbowers, a whooping 31 words today!!!
Ok I give up I'm missing one "F" word and I can think of a really good one right now but we won't go there.....I realllllllly need FU/48 not the one that you put in your car......Please would someone help me??????
31? <sigh> i was hoping for only 6....'cuz i have 5....
Fu 4/8 To roll up and secure (a flag or sail, for example) to something else
there's the fu4/8 that a flag does
i'm home i'm home i'm home! and this puny puzzle is the welcome i get.
Please - I'll change icons if someone will give me a little bitty clue
faeriekae, did mark and my clues not work for you? Hi evanonut!!
No --- still monkey typing
there is just no place like home.
Welcome Home Evenout
So where have you been evanonut, somewhere exciting!!
exciting at times - at the hospital.
What were you doing at the Hospital??????
staying with my husband while he had cancer treatment.
I'm so sorry....Has he been taking treatments very long?
I remember know evanonut, how is he doing?
little better now, was supposed to stay till saturday, but couldn't take any more.
2nd month now. he's a big hit with the nurses, being young (and in my opinion handsome).
I hope he didn't leave against Doctors orders?????
not against orders, patient is in charge on this one. his medicine is il-2...so he wore a t-shirt that says "il-2 sucks"
Sweeeet --- sounds like he has a good attitude at least. Those treatments can really suck from what I understand and I pray for a quick and speedy recovery. Noone should have to go through that crap.
thanks i missed my babble sooooooooooo much.
19 words, 4.26, 181 pts....how am i doing?
We are glad to have you back evanonut :) And glad your husband is home with you...
I just finished my very first grid *doing my faerie dance and smiling ear to ear*
faeriekae, did you ever get your last fu? If not, it's what you do to a flag when you roll it up.
Yah faeriekae, congrats!!!!
Thank You Nonny *dancing and singing my victory song*
markbowers - your getting closer...
Yay, fairiekae! CONGRATS & Welcome to the Finisher's Club (which I'm out of more than in) It's a nice feeling, isn't it? I have 3 words to go!
Thank You -*bows and flies around the room giving everyone faerie hugs* Yes this feels great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Babble Grid May12, 2005. 38 words total. 4-ltr.words - 25, 5-9, 6-2, 7-1, 8-1 B-1, E-3, F-11, H-4, L-11, )- 1, T-6, V-1 GRID LETTERS: YRFLB LTFEN EEHNM VE LFW OUIEW Go solve it again! LOL.
hey jacula - i knew you would know! 8)
Renfield, no cheating allowed, if you were there. The words lists aren't availalble in the archives any more.
I can't even give clues to the words counts, as the counts have changed since then.
I wasn't even here then, arrived about 2-3 months later. If anyone out there keeps archives, then speak up. I have half of the words just looking briefly, but I don't reckon it was an easy grid!
Dr_God, are you around?
You know we all really like puzzles around 1-200+. I think you're stewinf up a doozey for us on 19th when 100th puzzle comes up.
I'm done. wow! that was quick. I might not know what to do with my evening.
i'm wtching the apprentice tape -
Dr_God, you know that we all prefer grids around the 1-200+ mark. I reckon you're storing up a real doozey for us on 19th December, when Babble has it 1000th grid. Do we get 3 days to do that one, if it's 1000 words? Also, can we please have an edit/delete facility for our posts on the chat log? Pretty please with icing and kisses on top!
pleeeeeeaaaaassssssse dr g-d, what she said 8D
Renfield - did I tell you you could indulge in leisure time??
no mistress......
Hi All!
Renfield - I bought 'The 40-yr-old Virgin' last week - the film on DVD I mean, you silly person! Why on earth would I want to purchase the real thing?? We won't get chance to watch it till Xmas hol week, I reckon, but my daughter and her boyfr have watched it and reckon it's hilarious.
hi wolfie !
Hello Wolfie. My servant, Renfield, has been taking AWOL time off! How should I punish her? LOL.
I think the lack of grid today, may be punishment enough!
Have you both had a go at that 38-word May 12th grid yet? If so, how are you doing at it?
I was the 2nd one done this AM and thus was able to spend some extra time with Kirsten this eve -- hence the late arrival :)
sorry mistress - i was slacking and watching the donald - i will get onto it now.....
Just saw it myself -- hmmmm.....
Well, Wolfie, given the lack of crawling and flying things in the ai, since it's winter, Renfield may be a bit hungry. If she can't get a big grid, who knows what she might do??? (You do see the Jac/Renfield connection, I assume?)
The vampire and the servant? LOL.
Please, Jac! I may be a gentleman, but that doesn't mean that I am any less the horror lit/movie geek! ;)
Wolfie - glad to hear you got extra time with Kirsten. When is she due, btw?
Wolfie - pleae accept my apologies for even thinking you might not have got the connection.:-))
They are planning on doing the C-section sometime during the last week of Jan/1st weeek of Feb -- she will be discussing it with the Doc tomorrow
'Sides, you two have been playing up the link for at least the past coupla weeks!
Why the c-section? Tell me privately if you prefer not to discuss it on here.
All credit due to my servant, she's been holding that side up better than me. I've not been here often enough to do so. Those coffin lids are heavy to lift at times.
C-section is because of the pre-eclampsya issues she suffered with Kristianna -- rather than risk the same this time around - plus the fact that she is diabetic, the doc has opted to go with a scheduled C-section for safety
You two are off looking for May 12th grid words, I just know it! LOL.
Wolfie - Yes, I can see why, re Kirsten, now. Better to be safe...
Well, Jac, you asked us to.... and it gives us a way to fill the time until the flip!
I think my servant's gone to sleep again! I guess I will have to throw my pet spider's catch for the night into the bin. I think my servant does not deserve any breakfast!
What words have you both got then, so far?
none......mistress
none yet -- too busy telling you about me and Kirsten :D
And, LOL, Wolfie, that is the post of the true addict! (Not that I am such, of course, no, definitely not, I mean.... the very idea!)
what about the wolf mistress????
so what was the theme today, and do we have one for tomorrow?
today was christmas tree topper tomorrow is monkey's for monkey typing saturday is art for artlady sunday is lion - and yes mistress - i havd 2 words
Jac - I have 12
Let's see, I could always go with a pic of myself for tomorrow since I am born in the year of the wood monkey in Chinese astrology :)
that's interesting - i need to look up a wood monkey
Got my pic for tomorrow -- bets on how many others find it as well? *refresh*
The wolf is a friend and is allowed, Renfield.
ok - you're a sea monkey - right? i only have 12 mistress
21 words on 12th May grid here, so far.
oops, I got my facts wrong -- I am an earth monkey in the Chinese zodiac, not a wood monkey
yes mistress....(crawls away)
Greetings. I skied today and am quite tired. I don't expect to be awake in 43 minutes....so I'm changing my buddy icon a bit early. *F5*
ROFL, harpjane -- I love him!!
u r a cutie harp 8)
Skiing is for people tired of living..........
Hi brandyjack! How are you today?
LOL brandy - my husband likes to ski (or did) and i like to surf
brandyjack! Shame on you! Skiing is for people who love to live life to the fullest!
Would love the chance to surf...........
Flying down the side of a pile of snow covered rock and hoping I don't wipe out and hurt the rocks is not my idea of fun.....
goodnight all
Skiing and hoping I don't break any limbs is my idea of it.
Just about time to go shovel the driveway again. Figure it's better to shovel in 4 inch increments than try to slog through 12-16 inches at one time....
nite - toe 8)
G'Nite ToeSock!
Brandy - tha 's my philosophy on shoveling as well
aiiiiiiiiii - wipe out
So who remembers the TV adventure program "Tales of the Gold Monkey"?
GW, I certainly don't remember that show. Who was on it?
i do wolfie - of course i had to watch repeats during the so the the mistress didn't think i was slacking
Sorry, Wolfie, never heard of it.
rememeber jack the dog?
15 mistress.............
Must've been busy at the time and left my servant to view it. Maybe she thought it not worthy of mentioning to me?:-)
I ahve to admit I can't remember who portrayed the main character, but I think Stacy Keach played his side kick -- it was an Indiana Jones ripoff, chic
Hi all, just checking in to see how everyone is....
I mainly rememberJack, ren -- cos he was the smartest of the lot! :D
Only 15, Renfield? I expect more from you later.
Hey Schroeder -- how have you been?
young stephen collins mistress ....uh... i didn't want you uh....distracted? :/
Hiya, Schroeder - nearly flip over time. Are you trying to solve the May12 2005 grid? A 38-worder?
it was also funny....hi shro -
Hey GW, doing pretty well..helping my daughter study for finals. May12 2005 grid???? Does this mean I didn't have to spend the evening wrapping gifts?
Everytime I see Indiana Jones I think of Dawn French and the protection for her Terry's Orange now! LOL.
Schro - I put up that grid earlier. LOL. I spent day making templates for various gingerbread houses, delivering cards and writing letters, and doing laundry. LOL.
hi everyone
I just found what seems to be a very detailed fan site for Gold Monkey -- goldmonkey.com I think I am gong to be prowling through it at a later date personally ;)
Hi CJ - almost changeover time!
Wow Jacula, I'm impressed, I only managed to wrap about 10 gifts Hi CJ
Hey CJ! -- we're prepping for tomorrow's theme while waiting for the flip
As for the monkey pics., I'll just put up those I took of my kids and the corresponding ones | I found of baby chimps (who are apes, not monkeys).
how is everyone tonight?
Schroe - all my gifts are now wrapped. Xmas decs aren't up though! We'll sort that this weekend!
I am trying to find a picture of my nephew Jack, he is a greater bush baby, very cute and loves his Auntie...
Back for the flip, folks -- time for the nightly back rub :)
Your so good GW...see ya
GRR! Wolfie, my other half just had to go out to work. No time for a back rub for him or for me. Later though!:-)
you sound very busy Jac, i haven't finished shopping, put up dec, or even thought of wrapping any presents yet
i give money....
CJ - not really. I think I'm behind all the rest this year! Don't care really though, the real Christmas thing is what happens in your heart and in your home.
yes but my god children who are 1,2,& 7 years old don't really care about money
My daughter who is 14 loves money....
Oh, and you need to provide lots of munchy things for people, especially you children. And, if they're your own children, they expect home-made stuff!
Allo?
Hiya Smeltzie, how goes it..
Hello, Smeltzdog? Have you become an extra on " 'allo, 'allo"? Very funny show.
my roommate and i make alot of munchies all the time, but i'm waiting for my mom to come in to make all the stuff we make together
it's been a while...for that I apoligize
That French officer who can't speak properly is hilarious.
Jac...don't have it in America
I've never found British, or European, humor very funny. I think I'm just not used to it. I'm sure it's funny to most people.
Smeltz - check it out on the net! CJ - aw! You do love we Mums then... really. LOL.
Where did GW go?
i havn't spent Christmas with my mom in 3 years and haven't seen her in over a year so it will be a fun 6 days
I've never met a teen, 20s, 30s or 40s yet that didn't dig in/ or actively seek out, if it was in a tin or in the fridge, my cooking.
GW is doing his nightly back rub duties, he will return though
lol Jac, my mom nows she must cook our favs. while she is here
CJ - I do hope there wasn't a 'f' around that fun days posting.
This is just a short stop in...Tell GW I said hi. I'll try to stop back again very soon.
we will only get along because i have to be a work alot
She's come to YOU, CJ? Surely you lot should have gone to HER?
Take care Smeltzie, I will pass the message on to GW
thanks!
she moved from here a year ago, she is just using my house as a hotel.. she is really coming back to see her friends
CJ - I think you are still quite young? One day, you will learn how short both your own life and that of your parents is. Reality check. Sorry!
Hello everyone -- did you get a lot done on this puzzless day?
I'm back!
mom is stressed she is so used to having me and my brother around all the time and now we all live in diffrent states... it gets hard to keep up sometimes
