I blame this odd weather we have been having

1:16 am

cybernan

Hello, Blaze..

1:18 am

Blaze

My question exactly.... I have some sort of inner ear problem... the Dr today gaze me some tablets... they are for something called meniers's disease..... Time will tell it is all treatable... etc.... My brain thinks I am on a ship or something and I walk like I.m drunk,,,,,

1:18 am

Blaze

Hi Nan... has the rain stopped up your way yet ??

1:18 am

spatialbean

Oh Blaze, my mom had that...

Hi everyone

1:19 am

sprite

I am so sorry to hear that. Sounds terrible, being dizzy all the time :(

1:19 am

GreyWoulf

That sounds very disconcerting, Blaze -- hopefully it will resolve soon :)

1:19 am

Blaze

hi bean, sprite, and all on chat

1:19 am

sprite

Hi spatial :)

1:19 am

spatialbean

Is there a way I can email you to tell you what helped her? It took a lot of trial and error.

1:19 am

GreyWoulf

Hey bean -- how was the movie?

1:20 am

spatialbean

Not finished, another friend came on to chat. I think it's sucky tho.

1:20 am

1:21 am

Blaze

bean you can email me through bab anon......

1:21 am

spatialbean

ok

1:24 am

sprite

I really hope it will prove to be treatable, Blaze. Not for the dishes or the housework, but for the rest of your life ;) AND for babble, of course. ((((Blaze))))

1:25 am

Blaze

I am assured it is treatable... and may even be caused by one of my blood pressure medications... time will tell...for now I am okay... just not to much moving around and NO driving.

1:27 am

sprite

Yes, take real good care of yourself! Dizziness is a risky thing.

1:29 am

Blaze

I am taking good care of myself.... the last thing I want is to fall... it would make the commercial "I've fallen and can't get up" a live show in my house.

1:30 am

spatialbean

1:31 am

sprite

Hunting Cs brought me what might be one of Griffs favorite stupidhead words. C5/16, Plate armor worn to protect the front of the thigh, alt. spelling.

To think I was out stabbing cats (relax, it was to deliver sub-q fluids to the poor ancient beast) and drinking beer when I could have been here getting mired in a worthy grid.

1:44 am

Blaze

You have quite the life up there Griff....

1:45 am

1:58 am

sprite

Real def is A line drawn on a weather map or chart linking all points of equal or constant temperature.
Or you could think of putting your warm underwear somewhere where it would be very lonely.

1:58 am

Griffums

...and I've exhausted my meager knowledge of armor (actually I do know two pieces of armor that would start with a C, but...)

1:59 am

Griffums

Oh oh oh oh - I know that one (the line def) - Thanks!

2:01 am

CJ162003

ok finally got that one
sprite do you have any other def for D8?

2:02 am

sprite

For the stupidhead C: take your C4/7. Lose last two letters. Replace them with an ending that means it is a little bit like it, but not completely. Then admit it IS a stupidhead word :)

2:03 am

Blaze

thank you... fianally have the 8's

2:03 am

GreyWoulf

cj --Belief that there is no governing force in the universe is called a****** --- substitute a di for the a

2:04 am

Griffums

Okay, that IS a stupidhead word

rosalind230

any clues for the th7 36 by 2

6:59 am

miametro

any clues for the ai 7/36?

6:59 am

Haz1558

One is a type of flask

6:59 am

Haz1558

ai 7/36 - where you would put a plane for the night?

7:01 am

rosalind230

dont worry got them both

7:02 am

miametro

thanks haz :)

7:03 am

EvaNadine

any hints for the other Th7?

7:04 am

Haz1558

First four letters are the same then two vowels and a c

7:05 am

EvaNadine

thanks haz!

7:06 am

Haz1558

Apparently it's an antidote against snake bites. No wonder I had never heard of it!

7:07 am

EvaNadine

isnt the first Th (the container one) a brand name??

7:08 am

miametro

Any clues for the second ar 5/10?

7:08 am

Haz1558

Dictionary says it was originally.

7:09 am

EvaNadine

thought so...its become one of those brand names like Kleenex, Jello, or Hoover that has transcended a brand name and has been substituted for the product name...heh

7:09 am

Haz1558

Mia - the second ar 5/10 is the past tense of the first

7:12 am

miametro

of course it is! couldn't see it for looking.

7:13 am

miametro

oooeoo branding. i did an advertising degree so this kind of this is close to my heart

7:15 am

EvaNadine

its like the greatest thing ever for a brand to become inseparable from a product, isnt it?

7:16 am

EvaNadine

i read somewhere that Chiquita wasnt originally the name of the company...but when they came out with the Chiquita Banana character, it because so well-known, that whatever the name was got changed since people knew Chiquita

7:16 am

miametro

pretty much. altho brand loyalty plays a rather large part in marketing as well. just because people call all vacuum cleaners 'hoovers', doesn't mean they'll actually think of hoover when they go out and buy one anymore.

7:17 am

EvaNadine

true, good point!

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

like all tissue isn't kleenex

Atalante

its interesting that really only in the US tissues are kleenex. Here, in the UK, I think they are generally still tissues

7:19 am

EvaNadine

yeah, and vaccuum cleaners are really only called Hoovers over in the UK

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

right

7:20 am

EvaNadine

it is kinda interesting to see what catches on in different areas...
like in the midwest part of the US, lots of people call all kinds of soda Coke, even if its not cola or Coke brand...

7:21 am

Atalante

and in the UK lots of people who now have Dyson vacuum cleaners just them just Dysons "I got a new Dyson today" - hoovers have a name rival!

7:21 am

EvaNadine

ive got a Bissell...hehe

7:28 am

miametro

We've got a dyson, heh. dyson was a really phenomenal story actually, because he funded it all himself. hoover and the like didn't believe his type of hoover would take off when he approached them so he made it on his own and then a couple of years later hoover etc jumped on the bandwagon

7:28 am

Atalante

omg that's fantastic - changing subject completely - just watching the news, scientists in the far east have bred luminescent pigs that glow in the dark!

7:29 am

Atalante

(we've got a Henry!)

7:29 am

Priscilla

And what would be the point of a pig glowing in the dark??? Did they explain?

7:29 am

Atalante

no lol. they didn't. but the pigs looked wayyyyy cool!

7:30 am

Haz1558

It's to do with stem cell research. They were created using jellyfish genes.

7:50 am

Haz1558

7:52 am

Haz1558

Lunch time!

7:52 am

EvaNadine

i dont bother with the list unless i think i actually have a chance of finishing...
i used to only play if i thought i could finish + then id work til i passed out on it!
now i just like to play, finish or not...but when i get close, i get pretty driven!

7:57 am

miametro

can't figure that two gods clue, google isn't helping much!

8:00 am

ExWren

I always start at the end of the alphabet and work upwards. Can't be bothered with having to keep scrolling down. So I am only just about to start of the r's.

8:01 am

miametro

does the er 7 learn from the er 5 or is it separate?

8:02 am

GoBraves

separate - think problems with overfarming...it leads to er*****

8:03 am

miametro

ah, thanks :)

8:03 am

GoBraves

periwinkle

can't figure out the i8/50- clues please

8:22 am

Uneaixoise

the th5 is the word that begins the name of the common tool we use to measure temperature

8:23 am

FMitch

i8/50 def: A line drawn on a weather map or chart linking all points of equal or constant temperature

8:23 am

EvaNadine

peri -- theres a Th7 that is a container you put liquids in to keep them hot or cold.
knock off the last 2 letters for the Th5.
then add is + another vowel before that to get the is8

8:25 am

periwinkle

mamabear

Happy Superhero Day!
"This is a story about an ordinary teddy-bear. When he was made, they found something wrong with him, and threw him away like a piece of rubbish into an old dark storeroom. Then from outer-space, a spotty man bought him back to life with his cosmic dust. He took him to a magic cloud where Mother Nature gave him special powers. That bear became Super Ted!"

After being granted his powers (which he activated by whispering a magic word to himself), Super Ted defended the Earth ably assisted by his alien friend Spotty, while fighting various evil plots hatched by the cowboy supervillain Texas Pete, and his two incompetant sidekicks Bulk (a strong, fat and extremely dim man) and Skeleton (a somewhat fey living/undead skeleton). When not battling them or other forces of evil, Ted and Spotty spent their time either in their tree-house home or up on an orbiting space station.

In case anyone wanted to know!!!!!!

10:40 am

It's going around pretty bad here, both the little ones were down for a week. I've had it off and on, like it won't completely go away, so has Eycsis. As long as Stephen doesn't get it, he's worse than all five put together when he's sick!

12:07 pm

I know what you mean bunny, I have 4 employees out with it and my Dad was hospitalized this morning because he has been sick for 3+ weeks.

12:08 pm

bunnyvicious

I can't get my kids to the doctor because there are no appnts. available. Why they can't just call an antibiotic in....

12:08 pm

bunnyvicious

Your father isn't serious is it? He'll be ok?

12:10 pm

Schroeder

It hit him pretty hard in his chest his wife said he had to stop 3 times on the walk to the car. I am going to go down and see him tonight. He has COPD so that make is worse.

12:12 pm

bunnyvicious

Oh no, I'm sorry. I hope he recooperate's quickly.

12:14 pm

Thanks, me too....the doctors said that they are going to pump him full of steroids and antibiotics and that's the most they can do.

12:22 pm

smaller

Hi Daddy!

Schro-
I'm so sorry too!

12:23 pm

smaller

lol bunny!!!

isn't COPD something about not intaking oxygen efficiently? like oxygen becomes toxic.

12:24 pm

Schroeder

It's chronic obstructive lung disease. Basically he only has about 15% lung capacity left. He smoked/smokes 2-3 packes a day for most of his life.

12:25 pm

Atalante

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

12:26 pm

hurshy

wow. i'm sorry schro. and i am definitely going to mention this to the kid i've sort of "adopted", who dabbles in smoking.

12:27 pm

bunnyvicious

Smoked or smokes? He quit didn't he? My grandmother is on oxygen and still puffing away. I hate it, one of the major reasons I'm quitting.

12:27 pm

Schroeder

Thanks Atalante for the correction, my fingers and brain working together today well.....

12:28 pm

doxy1lover

my dad quit after his emphysema got bad. didn't help, still died of lung cancer

12:28 pm

hurshy

bunny, how long have you smoked? how are you trying to quit? and i highly endorse your icon, btw.

12:28 pm

bunnyvicious

Hursh, nip it in the bud while he/she is just dabbling! So HARD to put down after dabbling phase turns to addicted...

12:29 pm

hurshy

i know. i'm doing my best, but he has zero willpower. when someone offers him a cigarette it is so hard for him to say no.

12:30 pm

Schroeder

Bunny it amazes me, he is in the hospital on oxygen and trying to figure out how to escape in order to have a cigarette!!! His wife said no more this morning, I told her she has to stick to it...

12:30 pm

bunnyvicious

I have smoked for 14 yrs., started at 13. Been 13 days without a cig, just threw them out New Year's Eve. When I get really, really bad, I use and Ariva or Stonewall. They are little nicotine tablets you use like dip, minty. Only use one every other day though....

12:31 pm

hurshy

the trouble is, i don't think students here are allowed to use any sort of quitting gum or patches or anything.

12:31 pm

bunnyvicious

I heard someone telling me about a perscription that makes you ill if you smoke... don't know what it was though. I tell you, I wouldn't want to smoke if it upset my tummy. Don't know it to be true though....

12:31 pm

speaking of students, i have to go teach class. thanks for the scary anecdotes, all.

LOL!! No, Sahera, my middle one, used to be baby vicious. It was kind of a Dr. Jeckle game. Baby vicious vs. Sweetie. She'd attack me with her little sidekick, bunnyvicious. Thought it was too cute.

12:49 pm

Smaller when they turn 18 and move out you won't remember any of the bad stuff....by then it turns into funny stories you can tell and torture them in front of dates....

Sometimes, but if life isn't hectic, it isn't any fun!

12:50 pm

Jacula

Smaller - My son's 21 now (22 this May). He's a 'grumpy young man' and proud of it. LOL.

My daughter's 19 in March - She was a very sweet, biddable child but now she's like the girls in that old Maurice Chevalier song, 'Thank Heavens for Little Girls' from 'Gigi' ... the line that goes, '...Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
one day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin' '.:-(

12:50 pm

LOL, my mom and dad pulled out pictures of little me sitting on the toilet and asleep with the dog's butt in my face. I'm already amassing blackmail of my own.

I hope that for mine too. It's nice to be young and have children. You have the energy too keep up, just not the money. But there is to young... I want mine educated and well on their way to a good job before having kids, but my parents said the same thing, and I was married at 16.

12:59 pm

1:04 pm

I think so, but my nine year old would argue. She refuses to wear clothes from Wal-Mart because they are from Wal-Mart. At first, I sewed tags into her off-brands. Now I tell her to wear it or go naked. Darn peer pressure.

bunny do you mean iceboysf?

1:17 pm

bunnyvicious

Since the parent and the staff will not help, I told my daughter to punch her in the nose (let the beratings begin). I told her she will get in trouble, but that will be the end of it. Bullies like easy prey. I can't let this continue for years and years. Even if the staff interveined, they couldn't monitor the situation all day every day....so...

1:20 pm

Bunny when my daughter was younger she was picked on for being small. One day a boy kept telling her to punch him as hard as she could to prove how weak she was....she finally did in the stomach, knock the wind out of him and he peed his pants....

1:20 pm

bunnyvicious

Good for her, did she have any more trouble from him?

1:20 pm

SunnFlower

serves him right

1:22 pm

No more problems from anyone, the school was good about it to since the boy had been egging her on all day. She may be small but she's a strong one...

Hi all :)
Bunny - we had a story today in Detroit where the mom of a girl stabbed 2 other girls that her daughter was fighting with in school.... Hopefully you'll find a good way out of it for your daughter. Bullying stinks!!

1:23 pm

SunnFlower

sushi add a vowel to the one above

1:24 pm

SunnFlower

guess the answer was yes!

1:24 pm

Schroeder

Hi Bugzy, that is so scary. Now that my daughter is in high school fights are scary. She told me the other day 2 girls fought and pulled hair till their scalps were bloody.

1:25 pm

bunnyvicious

That is horrible, great example.
Nope, my husband hides the butchers knife from me, and I take my anti-psychotics in a timely matter. She's only a fourth grader...long row to hoe.

1:26 pm

Bugzy

It was an awful story... I remember when I was in high school, two girls got in a fight and their families (moms, cousins, etc) all got into it in the parking lot... Nasty.

1:27 pm

Bugzy

Makes me glad I have 2 boys... but I guess they can be bullied too :(

1:28 pm

bunnyvicious

I got in my fair share of fights, to opinioated and felt like I had to stick up for everyone. But never anything like that and I'm from a little redneck town!

Yeah, my son's only 6 and has aready had a taste of being bullied... I thought it didn't start til later - he's in kindergarten!!

Sometimes I think some children are born bullies, it must be something in their upbringing to be mean that young

2:26 pm

harpjane

Thank you!

2:27 pm

Yoink

I've thought that myself Ferrari, resit and resat

2:29 pm

Bugzy

I agree that the criteria for what is a 're' word and what isn't, is a little weird...

2:30 pm

SunnFlower

there are some really strange re words allowed, mind you it's not just re words in babbleverse

2:31 pm

Yoink

They should just make a blanket rule that all verbs can be re'd, though that would lead to babble grids having massive amounts of words...

2:35 pm

SunnFlower

I changed my icon and it's gone black, but it was supposed to be a ratty, will try again tomorrow, see y'll later

2:35 pm

smaller

they are already massive as is

2:35 pm

massive = above 50

2:37 pm

2:38 pm

Bugzy

SueL - the ka5 is like an Australian animal, without the 'nga'

2:38 pm

davetins

The is is a line on a weather map

2:42 pm

Yoink

That's very true, I often get tigers and fairies mixed up

2:42 pm

Lupe613

It was nice yesterday - back to nasty rain/snow (mostly snow now) mix. Yesterday I was buried in my office all day, wasn't able to enjoy the 55 degrees! What a tease! Is this stuff heading your way?

2:43 pm

Dachef

sherb - me? Lowering the tone? Never! To be fair, most days its pretty low already!

2:43 pm

Bugzy

Yeah, bunny, it was over 50 degrees yesterday (heat wave for this time of year!!!)
Today is still warm but rainy :(

2:44 pm

Dachef

2:51 pm

Jera

I'm back for more... what a glutton for punishment...

2:51 pm

cybernan

Not by choice, I might add -- it won't take a colour, so I've resigned myself to going grey gracefully!

2:52 pm

Yoink

Smaller, plural of the 5 before it

2:52 pm

macuser

make your ca5/14 plural

2:52 pm

bunnyvicious

or make your ca 5/12 past tense

2:52 pm

smaller

oh my stupidity!

glaringly obvious that I'm not a good multitasker

2:52 pm

Yoink

Hi Jera!

2:53 pm

cybernan

is 8 -- don't see anything likely which is not all that unlikely!

2:53 pm

Bugzy

Me neither C-nan - the one time I tried it it turned out really horrible.
I much prefer boring brown to orange- streaky! :)

mama77

on average - how long does it take you all to complete the entire playbabble? I am a novice and never get more than half way through. What sort of vocabulary do you all have for heavens sake?

3:16 pm

boreetos

m77, I rarely finish, most often about halfway.

3:16 pm

Anj

Mama77, welcome to the Babbleverse...depends on the grid. This one took me just under 3 hours.
Just check out the log for clues, Babblers Anon for the 2nd letter breakdown and www.a2zwordfinder.com for the nasties that you've never heard of : )

3:17 pm

hi schro!

Hi Schro!

3:18 pm

sherb

thanks Boreetos :) ...old school for sure... no Batman has ever come close to Adam West...

3:18 pm

Dachef

mama77 -these words are definately not in common usage! Completion depends on the size of the grid (usually). You can always use www.a2zwordfinder.com if you get stuck - it helps to find those really obscure words. After a while you get to know them!!!!

3:18 pm

Judi

Hi,kids. Call me unsociable, but I devoted all of my time to obsessively searching for words in this damn puzzle today. Anywhoo, I'm only missing one measley rotten crappy word. It is the 2nd Cr6-24. Any clues?

3:19 pm

LOL, by the way, why don't you tell us how you *really* feel about this grid!!!

TSM- I love a good wine tasting! I used to work in a hotel, and we had a really pushy salesman come in who wanted us to use his winelist on our menu. So we invited him to come and do a wine tasting in the restaurant. He was pretty miffed by the end cos it was only me and a coupla of other managers and we got completely sloshed!

3:28 pm

ok ren, well, you see, in england before they had good transportation you could hire chairs carried by people to take you places - like rickshaws, kind of. and polite hosts would call for them for their guests when they were leaving by yelling out "chair-o, chair-o". so this came to be associated with leave-taking and then gradually deteriorated into cheerio.

7:57 pm

Jacula

Hi again all.

Peri - the very first mo word is an mo4/6. The mo5/14 is the plural of that.

7:57 pm

EasternBlue

peri -

That is the first one...try 'refreshing'...maybe it didn't 'catch'???

7:58 pm

speedfreak

Been monkey typing for awhile anyone have a clue for the first de5/14 Thank you

7:59 pm

Jacula

Speedfreak - de5/14 - The belief, based solely on reason, in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation.

(It's an 'ism'.)

8:00 pm

speedfreak

Thanks Jacula!!!!

8:00 pm

periwinkle

I had printed out the 2nd letter list and there is a mo5/14 right there. Don't know how that happened. was making myself crazy. turns out I was missing an mo4 word which I found and I am DONE, FINITO, finally

8:01 pm

Jacula

Well done, Peri.

(Still got 22 to find here.)

8:15 pm

harpjane

I think cuky should be a word!

8:17 pm

harpjane

cu 5/16? this puzzle is nuts! (I can quit any time...)

8:20 pm

Jacula

Sorry, Harp. I don't have the cu5/16 yet.

8:23 pm

inge

de 5/14 is word for skin (4/6) with feminine latin ending, next one is skin in plural

8:24 pm

Jacula

Harp. Got the cu5 now. It's an 'ish'.

8:28 pm

harpjane

Thank you. Thought I tried that!

8:32 pm

Jacula

Paul just found me that last 'ne' word accidentally whilst looking for the io6. I deserve a slap with a frozen fish for not seeing that last 'ne'. Still haven't got the 'io' though.:-(

8:36 pm

Jacula

Okay - the ka's. I've found ka (Bill) the first one. Karaoke isn't in there, so what the heck are the other two??

8:38 pm

Blaze

jac io 6...... the atom + single strange stupidhead word

8:40 pm

Jacula

Hi Blaze. T/y!

8:41 pm

Blaze

You are welcome.... I apologize for seemingly ignoring you on the fleetwood mac.... I was under the weather and have it all sorted on my own... thank you though

8:42 pm

Jacula

Blaze - I mailed you through BabAnon ez board. What was the F/Mac track you wanted?

8:42 pm

Jacula

Ah! You've anticipated my question. Hope you are feeling better now? I still want to know what track it was though.

8:43 pm

Blaze

it was leather and lace...... but I found a cd in my husbands collection and loaded it on my computer...

8:46 pm

Jacula

Thanks, Blaze. It was driving me nuts trying to remember what you'd asked for. Glad you got it.

I've got the ka words now, btw.

8:51 pm

Jacula

The ka's are related to S. African plains. I should have got it earlier, because one of my fave sauces to go with chicken is Walnut Ridge Ka*** Farmhouse Style. If you drink Blossom Hill Fruity white with that it really makes the wine ZING!

8:53 pm

Jacula

I'm being really thick over these last 16 words or so. I cannot find the 1st m5/14 & 6/24.

8:54 pm

Jacula

*ma5/14 & 6/24.

8:54 pm

Jacula

Has everyone gone or are you just letting me keep on posting to get lots of pics of the delectable Jason Momoa??

8:56 pm

Blaze

8:58 pm

Jacula

Got 'em! Comes from Greek for 'large'. I'm going to a shop this weekend that spells it the Greek way (with a 'k'). *Slaps self with whole carton of frozen fish from said shop.*

8:58 pm

Blaze

planet plus the famous f*** ending

8:59 pm

Jacula

Hiya Wolfie. *HUG*

9:00 pm

GreyWoulf

((**Jac**))

Blaze -- how are you feeling today?

9:00 pm

mamabear

I wonder what the rest of the world does on Friday nite?

9:00 pm

Jacula

Blaze - oddly enough the first ma5/14 & 6/24 begin with the 2nd part of the band we were just talking about. Then add the first 2 letters of the red lover's flower for the 5 and the first 3 letters of it for the 6.

9:01 pm

harpjane

Well, I'm down to my last 18. These are the words that I couldn't get the first two times through......

9:01 pm

mamabear

oh and good evening all..... just got here - 92 to go.... yawn

9:01 pm

Blaze

GW the pills are working great.... no dizzy spells today... even took down my Christmas decor.... LOL

Jacula

Mama - Hi! My icon's sure to wake you up! (You only came in to see him, didn't you? *Grins*)

9:02 pm

GreyWoulf

9:02 pm

mamabear

well, it IS an incentive!!!! *drool*

9:02 pm

harpjane

9:03 pm

harpjane

Mamabear, I take it that means you dove in earlier?

9:03 pm

mamabear

os 5/10 - "more" os (add popular "more" 3 letter ending to os)

9:04 pm

Jacula

Harp - os5/10 is a type of willow used for basket-making, bows etc.

9:04 pm

harpjane

9:04 pm

Jacula

9:04 pm

mamabear

9:05 pm

harpjane

9:05 pm

oldhousejunky

yeah do's done !!! Feel like Homer Simpson - Doh

9:06 pm

Jacula

Harp is8 - A line drawn on a weather map or chart linking all points of equal or constant temperature.

(Add to your th5/14 temperature word.)

9:07 pm

Jacula

Oldhousejunky - you may feel like Homer Simpson but don't say so or you'll have Mamabear asking me to put Paul's pj pics up again! LOL.

9:07 pm

GreyWoulf

How about the first th7?

9:07 pm

mamabear

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- drop the di from the di8

9:08 pm

harpjane

GW-the belief that the world was created by the word "The" (hee hee hee!)

9:08 pm

Jacula

Mama - 1st th6/24 - Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world.

(It's another 'ism'.

9:08 pm

mamabear

I don't have any di's yet - working backwards....

9:09 pm

Jacula

Harp - LOL. Great clue!

9:10 pm

Jacula

The di8/55 is a reall doozy - another of those 'isms'.:)

9:11 pm

mamabear

thanks jac! do you have the sh 7/32?

9:11 pm

Jacula

ki5/18 anyone?

9:11 pm

GreyWoulf

Blaze -- I was given that same hint in the AM but it just doesn't want to work for me :\

9:12 pm

oldhousejunky

ki 5/18 - plural ki 4/8

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

ki5/18 is plural of the ki4

9:13 pm

mamabear

th + Emergency Room + third vowel + first vowel + 3rd alphabet letter
try that GW

9:13 pm

Jacula

Mama - sh7/32 - another way of spelling the word for a small cigar (beloved of Clint Eastwood & other cowboys) and usually spelled with a 'c'. Think of Sonny Bono's ex-wife for the first 4 letters.

9:14 pm

Blaze

gw... first part of 5/14 loose last letter and "i" then the two initials for air conditioner

9:14 pm

harpjane

Finally got all the H's. Small step forward....

9:15 pm

harpjane

ca 6/33?

9:15 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, when you spell it out like that, Mama!

Why didn't someone just put up the alterante def:
2. Treacle; molasses. --British Pharm.

That I could have Googled! :D

9:16 pm

Jacula

GW - Thanks for the ki5. I wrote my paper list in the wrong order again, which is why I didn't find the obvious.:-( I had the cherry drink thing before the word to pluralise.

9:16 pm

mamabear

sorry GW.... too obvious I guess. It's just one of those words that's hard to clue another way.... I'll try not to do that again.
thanks for the sh 7 jac

9:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Seriously, thanks to all of you (*hugs*)

9:18 pm

Jacula

A clue for the last 'th' , a 6/27, would be good...

9:18 pm

mamabear

how about the sh 5/14 purty pleez?

9:18 pm

GreyWoulf

No biggie, Mama -- sorry if my response seemed harsher than I meant it --- the curse of the text message ;)

9:19 pm

mamabear

th 7 - past tense of the 4/6 above it (looks weird)

9:19 pm

Jacula

sh5/14 - what the blacksmith did to the horse.

9:19 pm

harpjane

mama- what the blacksmith did to the horse

9:20 pm

Jacula

OOH! My last clue looks rude. Tisn't though, PROMISE!

9:20 pm

harpjane

lol jac, there's an echo in here!

9:20 pm

Jacula

Harp - SNAP!

9:21 pm

mamabear

I think I'm going to take a break.... brb

9:21 pm

mamabear

no problem, GW!!! *hug*

9:22 pm

Blaze

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

((((***MAMA***))))

9:22 pm

harpjane

Jac, "CRACKLE!" (your turn)

9:23 pm

Jacula

Mama - I know you've gone, but you'll read back... I KNOW I put lots of words in earlier from my paper list. I typed them in fast (trained typist of the old school and all that). They appeared to be accepted but weren't there when I came back later. I think, sometimes, we just type too fast for the Babblemachine.:-(

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

OK Blaze -- have a pleasant rest -- (*Hug*)

9:23 pm

Jacula

Harp - POP!

9:24 pm

Jacula

Rest well, Blaze.x

9:25 pm

Jacula

Last 'th' anyone? Th6/27.

9:25 pm

harpjane

9:26 pm

harpjane

th 6/27, past tense of "calling someone a quaker pronoun?

9:27 pm

Jacula

Harp - No! I thought we were doing the Ric Krispies ad - snap, crackle and pop!

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

last th6 -- make the th4 before it a past tense -- strange but true!

9:27 pm

Angelsong

first ma5?

9:27 pm

Jacula

*Rice Krispies

9:27 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - thanks for clue but got the word a second before you posted. Stupid bloody word!

9:36 pm

Jacula

Cinderella - t/y for the ca6/33. What a daft word!

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Sounds like a plan, Dianne -- Thanks!

9:37 pm

Jacula

Harp - I've read the earlier clues about little rowing boats etc., for the do's, but I'm being thick... don't get them.

9:38 pm

harpjane

Jac-sounds like a nickname for a room full of people named Doris.

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Good Job, harp!!

9:40 pm

GW They say music will s***** the wild beast.

GreyWoulf

9:41 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - the element is metal and it will be the red dog on 3rd Feb.

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you Jac :)

9:42 pm

harpjane

gw-sorry, think of a biblical town, got in a "Lot" of trouble.

9:42 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - 1st so 5/14 is the partner city of those destroyed Biblically, So*** and Gomorrah.

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

That was a great clue, harp!

9:43 pm

harpjane

Thanks GW, I'm on a roll! (a K6 to be exact!)

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

How did you know that I needed that and only that k word, harp?

9:45 pm

harpjane

Like I said, I'm on a roll tonight, gw! we're in sync I guess!

9:45 pm

Jacula

Jeeze! If looking back was a crime, I'd have become a pillar of salt long ago!:-/

9:46 pm

Jacula

Do I get any more clues for the huge list I posted??

9:47 pm

harpjane

9:48 pm

mamabear

9:48 pm

Jacula

IS there a theme for tomorrow? Also (where are you, Babbler?) when do I get MY theme - 70's glam rock (no G.Glittery please!)

9:48 pm

EasternBlue

MAMA!!!

HUG!!!

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- which do you still need at this point?

BTW -- that is not a huge list -- if I were to list the 53 that I still need that would be a huge list!

9:49 pm

EasternBlue

ra 4/8 - what you clean up leaves with - e + a different vowel

9:49 pm

Jacula

Harp - I got that calorie loaded clue from Cinders, thanks.

9:51 pm

2nd ca6/24
do6/21
ra4/8
ra5/18
ra6 /33
re8/50
re10/91

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

re8 - re+sm6/24
re10 = re+ sm8/55

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

se5/10 - change the last letter of the 5/12 to a vowel

9:53 pm

Jacula

EB - t/y for the ra4 & 5.

9:54 pm

GreyWoulf

ra6/33 -- a rogue is often called ra6 -- makes you think he has leaf gathering qualities ;)

9:54 pm

harpjane

2nd ca5/14, a billiard shot. make plural.

9:55 pm

mamabear

9:56 pm

harpjane

mamaberar- one of the ingredients in Smores... chocolate, graham crackers, and ******

9:56 pm

Jacula

And the se5, Wolfie. I had the vowel-ending one, not the consonant one. Got that now though.

mamabear

harpjane

Happens to the best of us Tim, tomorrow is another day!

9:59 pm

Tim

brutal it is ...........

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

*sly wink* ;) -- Just living up to my title, my dear Jacula

*suave deep bow*

9:59 pm

Jacula

3 words to go here...

9:59 pm

mamabear

isn't the the ma 4/5?

10:00 pm

harpjane

off to tv land. bye.

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

*crack*

OW darn it, there goes my back!

10:00 pm

Jacula

Looks at Wolfie's wagging tail in hope of finding last clues...

10:00 pm

Tim

whats tomorros theme?????

10:00 pm

mamabear

jac - only if you need "to" words like tooshie!

10:00 pm

harpjane

Mama, sorry, 4/6, sounds like a german currency. Now I really am gone....

10:01 pm

mamabear

thanks harpjane!!!! have a good nite! sweet dreemmzzzzzz

10:02 pm

mamabear

77 more ..... all from ai to ho.....

10:02 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - ROFLOL. Oh dear, reality strikes.

OW! Justice being done now for me laughing at Wolfie's plight as I get off my chair. I don't think my coccyx has recovered from that missing the wheeled chair incident about 4 months ago. Hurts like hell when I get up off a chair, feels like the base of my spine is trying to unfold. OWWWWWWWWWWW!

10:03 pm

mamabear

that hurts just reading it, jac!!!!! does it help to put heat on it?

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- do6 -- same ending as the ca6/21

The others I don't have yet -- still looking for 44 more words :)

10:04 pm

mamabear

which words are you missing, jac? I might have them

10:05 pm

Jacula

Mama, it does help, yes. But something must be amiss, I think? I guess I'd better drag myself to the doc and put up with his, 'Hello, strainger!' jokes. Love 'im really, he's been one of my greatest champions over 25 years or so. Village GP, you see.

10:06 pm

Jacula

Thanks for the do6, Wolfie.

10:06 pm

mamabear

I have had back pain for over 19 years..... I understand, believe me.

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- Kirsten - the nurse - asked if you had an xray as soon as I read your post to her! So it sounds like you better go ;)

10:08 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - No, I didn't even see the doc or go to the hospital. I'm your typical English 'Just carry on!' type person, hence my doc saying, 'Hello, stranger' when he sees me. I think I should go though. Something is obviously trapped or crushed where it should not be. Kirsten is right.

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

She also suggests sitting on a donut to relieve the downward pressure on the bone as well

10:10 pm

Jacula

Words left to find:

2nd ca5/14
ca6/24

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

how about the mo6/21?

10:11 pm

mamabear

I'm sorry jac - started from the end and worked up to the i's. now starting from the a's back down..... no ca's yet

10:12 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - she's not wrong there. Normally, if a back pain is a prob., sitting on a hard chair is the answer. In this case, sitting on a soft chair causes less pain on getting up.

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Got it-- thanks anyway :)

10:12 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: ca - something you drive

10:12 pm

mamabear

mo + anagram of what you do to get the wrinkles out of your clothes

10:12 pm

Jacula

mo6/21 sounds a bit like Robin Hood's girlfriend, Maid Ma***.

10:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- that's cos the coccyx in particular ends up getting compressed whenever we sit down

10:13 pm

mamabear

hi JoJo!

10:14 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hi Mama: Did you get my clue?

10:14 pm

Jacula

Wolfie/Kirsten - I know that. I landed on the damned thing when I missed that chair 4 months ago. I will go for an x-ray, as you suggested.xx

10:15 pm

mamabear

yes Jo Jo - I don't think I asked for it, but thanks anyway!!!!!

10:15 pm

Jacula

Any votes for 'aye' for my themed icon day yet? 70's glam rock (no G. Glittery, please!)?

10:16 pm

Jacula

P.S. I bag both Marc Bolan and Alice Cooper for my icons that day.

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi JoJo-- how you doing tonight?

Jac -- sounds good to me -- aye!

10:17 pm

doxy1lover

good evening to everyone.

10:17 pm

doxy1lover

they are doing wonderful

10:17 pm

Jacula

Hiya again, Doxy. HAVE YOU MADE THAT STEW YET? Sorry for yelling, but I asked you earlier and you didn't notice.

10:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi doxy!!!! ((**HUG**))

What Mamabear just said!

10:18 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: My husband has had bad lower back problems, so until you can get into the Dr. for X-Rays, what he does is lay on the floor with his legs and feet up on a chair. That relieves any pressure on your lower back.

10:18 pm

mamabear

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

10:18 pm

doxy1lover

actually I did answer earlier. i said I was going to try while I had a few days off.

10:18 pm

Jacula

I vote from Wolfie for my 70s Glam Rock icon day. Any more?

10:18 pm

mamabear

not sure what 70's glam rock is.......

10:19 pm

speedfreak

Can I have a clue for the last th6/27 Thanks

10:20 pm

GreyWoulf

That's great to hear, doxy -- Kirsten has been pestering me for info -- but I haven't had any to give her :)

So how big? and all that other stuff -- if you gave earlier I haven't looked back to see -- been focused on words :)

10:20 pm

10:22 pm

she looks like an Abbigail. It seems to fit her perfectly.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - please control your competitive urges or else I shall have to ask either Kirsten or your mother to do it for you. ROFLOL.

10:22 pm

doxy1lover

GW, do you have one coming soon?

10:22 pm

mamabear

I'm growing puzzle-weary.... and still 67 unfound.

10:23 pm

jaelithej

People, people, pronouns do not have past tenses. They do have possessives, though. ;)

10:23 pm

Jacula

Doxy - Gw's is due on 3rd Feb!

10:23 pm

doxy1lover

not much longer.

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Yes I do -- he is going to be delivered via planned c-section on Feb 3rd --- we are naming him Sebastian Evan :)

10:24 pm

mamabear

JoJo - how are you doing on the puzzle?

10:24 pm

doxy1lover

very cool. Is this your first? You've probably said something earlier about it, but tonight I am brain fried.

10:25 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Wolfie: Sebastian Evan ~ love the names today.

10:25 pm

Jacula

Jae - Many of us are writers or English teachers, so we do know that. However, sometimes, most of the time, in fact, we give understandable clues; this game isn't an exercise in IQ.

10:26 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Only started about an hour ago, OK, I guess. I don't even finish the puzzle, but enjoy trying and chatting. I am a chatty Kathy!!

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Understandable, doxy -- you've been through the wringer the past few days (*Hug*)

No, my second -- Kristianna is my first -- now 2 1/2 and VERY excited about Sebastians impending arrival :)

10:26 pm

mamabear

anybody have the ca 6/33?

10:27 pm

Jacula

JoJo - wasn't Chatty Kathy a doll that wet herself??

10:27 pm

doxy1lover

that is so cool. I love talking to 2 year old big sisters and big brothers. They can be so excited.

10:27 pm

jaelithej

Woah! I know, I know Jacula-- I was just kidding, in fact, giving a clue to another word.

10:28 pm

jaelithej

I am a writer too and I play here all the time. I just don't talk much :)

10:28 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: No, I think it was back in the 60's where you pulled a cord and she just chatted, and chatted ~~~etc., etc. No wetting, at least not here.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Okay, Jae. Sorry for sounding defensive, but I do get defensive over my Babble friends. Welcome to the game (not seen you before).

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

jaelithe -- what type of writing?

10:29 pm

Jacula

Jojo - she was a bit after my time, as was 'Tiny Tears' but I think she had a potty?

10:30 pm

speedfreak

I Finished Thanks to all of you for your help..Good Night and talk to you tomorrow!!:))

10:30 pm

mamabear

Are you thinking of Betsy Wetsy?

10:30 pm

jaelithej

Just freelance marketing stuff right now. But I got my degree in Comparative Literature. High-falutin', and such. So I guess I'll have to get around to writing a great novel someday when I don't have a toddler trying to turn off my computer while I type all the time.

10:31 pm

doxy1lover

now I feel old. I had a tiny tears. my sister had a doll called "Giggles". She giggled when you moved her arms and everytime you bumped her.

10:31 pm

hootowl

Sorry Jacula - I'm responsible for those competitive urges! :):):) Hi all

10:31 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama is right, it was Betsy Wetsy, not chatty cathy.

10:32 pm

mamabear

good evening hootowl!!! are you tackling this monster grid?

10:32 pm

hootowl

Woulf she thinks its going to be a puppy!

10:33 pm

mrpresident

bye speed!

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

jaelithe -- LOL -- mine is always pestering me to play online videos for her -- makes surfing and/or Babbling during the day an exercise in creativity at times ;D

BTW - Welcome to the Pack!

10:34 pm

jaelithej

Ah Greywoulf does your like that badgerphone one? Mine made me sing the bananaphone song into the recorder on his play cell phone today.

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi hoot! (*HUG*)

10:35 pm

mamabear

ca 6/33?

10:36 pm

jaelithej

AAAH! See now you nice people have me talking. I try not talk on the chat, because I never have time to finish the puzzles myself what with working from home and all, and so I feel all inferior to the gung-ho babblers here.

10:36 pm

hootowl

I copied it last night but haven't finished and won't. I can help with that ca6/33 but don't know how to clue it.

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

The badgerphone one?

Mine does love the Badgers and all their variations over at ebaums worlld -- she also loves Kenya, and the Peanut butter Jelly time flash, among MANY others :)

10:37 pm

hootowl

That was for mamabear. Weird, weird words!

10:38 pm

mamabear

thanks anyway hootowl, I will keep hunting!

10:38 pm

Jacula

jae - Sorry, have been off seeing to laundry and cats... You're a badger, badger, mushroom, bananaphone and Africa fan? You'll do for me then!

Hoot - Hiya. Always blame the Mom! (Well, that's what they seemed to do when my daughter was in her clinic. Ask Wolfie for details about that.)

10:39 pm

mamabear

jaelithej - we gung ho-ers don't always finish either!!!! not by a long shot!

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

jaelithe -- no need for inferiority complexes here -- I used to feel the same way, especially when I tried to compare myself to people like Griffums, sprite, and other old hands at the grid :)

then I got to give them clues at various times and the feeling went away!

10:40 pm

mamabear

would you like to give me a clue GW?????

10:40 pm

hootowl

Jae I only started this insanity this week and I don't plan on EVER finishing one. Too much else in my life!

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA -- ca6/33 -- possessing a greater quality of ca4 -- a dessert that isn't in the grid itself

10:41 pm

mamabear

thank you, kind sir

10:41 pm

hootowl

Woulf - I just Im'd you. Read it now!

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

You are most welcome, dear lady

*cautious bow*

10:42 pm

hootowl

Nevermind - you beat me to it!

10:42 pm

Jacula

Oh! How I'd like to be a fly on the wall during THAT iM! lol.

10:43 pm

jaelithej

I hear you, hootowl. I started playing for the first time about several months ago but then I forced myself to go on Babble hiatus for a while because it was sucking my time away! Now I have a rule that I must be satisfied with getting close to half the words in a puzzle.

10:43 pm

mamabear

Yeah, really, jac!!!! LOL

10:44 pm

hootowl

Yep! Thats about my limit too. Just a change from blowing up chuzzles and blocks! :)

10:44 pm

jaelithej

"About several"? See, Jac, I have no high ground to stand on when it comes to chat grammar ;) Sheesh! I need to go to bed.

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Cool! you know about Chuzzles!!!!

10:45 pm

Jacula

In the meantime, I still have 2 words left to find:2ndca5/14 & 2nd ca6/24. I've managed to get myself one point above the elusive 'Chessy' on the stats now... HELP!

10:46 pm

doxy1lover

I love chuzzles

10:46 pm

mamabear

I need those too, jac....sorry :(

10:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Chuzzles are just sooooo cute!

10:46 pm

hootowl

OMG woulf - I thought you knew me! Chuzzles, Super Collapse, Alchemy and occasionally Avalanche. Did modt of the others too but they bored me after I figureed them out!

10:46 pm

mamabear

what's a chuzzle?

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Working my way up there, JAc -- still have 32 to go :)

10:47 pm

doxy1lover

a game you can download. Chuzzles.

10:47 pm

hootowl

Yahoo has a big game section. One of the new ones.

10:47 pm

Jacula

A Chuzzle is a furry, bouncy thing in a game.

10:47 pm

doxy1lover

need a clue for is8. pls?

10:48 pm

hootowl

I haven't bothered downloading them. Just play from Yahoo.

10:48 pm

Jacula

I gro through gram dot com, not Yahoo. That's where Jungle Fruit is, where a few of you ventured last night.

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

It looks sorta like a cross between a Tribble and a Koosh ball -- and when you blow them up they are all happy and excited about it!

My neighbor gave me a copy of the game last year!

10:49 pm

doxy1lover

I have the downloaded version. You get trophy's for doing certain levels or exploding so many Chuzzles.

10:49 pm

Jacula

is8 - lines of equal temperature - expand on your th5 (temperature or short for warm underwear) word.

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

doxy -- is + vowel + th5 - the one related to temp

10:50 pm

Jacula

That's the Trouble with Tribbles. Loved that episode of Startrek!

10:50 pm

EasternBlue

doxy -

is -
is + vowel + th 5/14

10:50 pm

doxy1lover

thanks to all, got it.

10:51 pm

hootowl

Thanks - I didn't have that one!

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- and one of the better Deep Space 9 episodes as well -- one of the best cross overs with the original series I have ever seen

10:52 pm

GreyWoulf

it5 please?

10:53 pm

doxy1lover

it + female pronoun

10:54 pm

EasternBlue

Woulfie -

one or the "it_ _ _ _"....

8 D

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks!

10:54 pm

hootowl

Thanks again! Now what does it mean?
Jak - just asked him to give clues.

10:55 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Yes, had forgotten that one!

Got all my words now. The last two ca's are: ca4 - 1. A collision followed by a rebound.
2.
1. A shot in billiards in which the cue ball successively strikes two other balls. Also called billiard.
2. A similar shot in a related game, such as pool.
The ca is the plural of that. I should have known it!
For those less clued in than even me... first 3 letters are a 4-wheeled vehicle essential to most folks for everyday travel + the sound of several Buddhists chanting.

10:57 pm

Jacula

it5 -A sexy woman might say.'Come hi***!'

10:58 pm

Jacula

Basically, it means, 'Come over here'.

10:58 pm

mrpresident

a sexy woman??

10:59 pm

Jacula

Oh God! Did I just clue that? It sounded awful!

10:59 pm

hootowl

And I call myself a pool player......:(

11:00 pm

hootowl

Thats my boy!:)

11:01 pm

GreyWoulf

How about the second ho5/12?

11:01 pm

Jacula

MrPres - Hiya. If a woman in Shakespeare's time was in bed waiting for her man to get all his hose and waistcoats etc., off, she might have beckoned sexily and asked or told him to 'Come hi****!' (Advance towards her, in other words.)

11:01 pm

jaelithej

'Night all. Sorry I ruffled your feathers, Jacula. Sometimes my irony gets away from me :) Rest assured I think Babbleland is peopled with geniuses! Especially those people who finish the puzzle every day . . .

11:01 pm

mrpresident

Hi Jac... I finished 17 hours ago...
Your clue was a doosy!!

11:02 pm

mamabear

jae - I have finished quite a few and I am FAR from being a genius!!!!!

11:05 pm

mrpresident

I get he*** tatoos...

11:05 pm

hootowl

oops - eyes getting worse

11:05 pm

Jacula

mrPres - which clue was that, then?

11:06 pm

Jacula

Not the Elizabethan bed scene, surely? LOL.

11:06 pm

mrpresident

11:13 pm

doxy1lover

GreyWoulf

Oops -- my bad!!!! I chat with so many people, I get confused sometimes!! ;)

11:14 pm

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey c-nan -- it's always a blast in Babbleonia!!! (*hug*)

11:15 pm

EasternBlue

hootowl -

11:15 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks guys got it, finished and not to bed. Big move tomorrow. Going from a 6,000 sq ft house to a 1800 sq ft apartment. Downsizing for awhile.

All the best,

11:15 pm

Pretty good -- finished earlier today -- just dropped by to chat.

11:15 pm

SueL -- that's great --- how old is he?

11:16 pm

11:16 pm

Jacula

Grr. I just got kicked off site and so my last post did not post.

11:16 pm

cybernan

Jetlagged? -- where have you been hootowl?

11:16 pm

GreyWoulf

Good luck, Marc! See you soon, I hope :)

11:16 pm

hootowl

Ok - HOW do you people finish these things. Reference books? computer dictionaries? No jobs? :)

11:16 pm

mamabear

make sure there's room to babble, marc!!!! good luck!

11:16 pm

SueL

He is 34 years old. He live next door to me with his
family.

11:16 pm

GreyWoulf

c-nan -- EB is jetlagged, not hootowl

11:16 pm

cybernan

no jobs!!! --- retirement is wonderful.

11:17 pm

cybernan

sorry -- the eyes are going -- EB where have you been?

11:17 pm

GreyWoulf

11:17 pm

www.a2zwordfinder.com when I'm really going crazy!!

11:18 pm

doxy1lover

retired, only in my dreams.

11:18 pm

Jacula

Hootowl - We finish these grids either because we have a good knowledge of languages, we read the chat log, we refer to dictionaries, or we go to the web's a2z.

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

mom -- fast typing, no fear of asking for help and a supportive lady beside me :)

11:18 pm

EasternBlue

c-nan -

I was in Phoenix for work...up at 4 am to catch my flight - back in NY tonight...long week!

11:19 pm

cybernan

Mamabear -- I use the term loosely in the sense that I don't go out to work -- I don't think women ever really get to retire!

11:19 pm

hootowl

I am too but I still have no time. Can't accept the idea that I'm "old".

11:19 pm

Jacula

Oh, and, I forgot to add, we've been doing these grids for so long we've got to know all the weird non-words that crop up.

11:20 pm

cybernan

that is a long day, EB, and moreso because the trip was not for pleasure!

11:20 pm

mamabear

26 more........... not looking good!

11:20 pm

cybernan

I must admit, hootowl, it is quite a shock when I look in the mirror every morning.

11:20 pm

Jacula

Hoot - 'Old' isn't in the Babble dictionary. No word under 4 letters is.

11:21 pm

GreyWoulf

21 here!

11:21 pm

mamabear

4 am EB???? yikes.... you must be exhausted!!!

11:21 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hoot: I have kids older than you ~ and the babblers say I'm not old. So, don't stress out age. If you are babbling, you aren't "old".

11:21 pm

cybernan

We'll help mamabear -- need a clue?

11:21 pm

SueL

Greywolf.. Its great. My 36 year old son moved back
in with him two daughters. I love having them
close. Do you live near your mom?

11:22 pm

I slept on the plane a little, but not as much as I would have liked...

11:22 pm

11:23 pm

hootowl

I'm missing my ref books! Left them in my old place when I came here! Was in San Antonio for a while and they had an anagram in the daily paper. Callenge was to find all the words in another word. Never did cause they had words I'd never seen and couldn't find in a dictionary!
I had made lists of the weird words.
Wish I still had them.

11:23 pm

mamabear

cybernan - I am working on the he's right now. Missing a whole bunch, starting with the first 6 on the list

11:23 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Oh. I thought you meant your age! My mistake.

SueL

Just got new nails put on and I keep miss spelling words.

It's only a 2 day drive...from Knox...but now I'm in Memphis...3 days...maybe

11:24 pm

11:33 pm

Just seen Hootowl's last post about being in Memphis. Now I'm singing 70s hit 'All The Way From Memphis'. Is that a Hootowl vote for my 70s Glam Rock icon day then?

11:34 pm

mamabear

is there another clue for that he besides rhyming with the jewish sabbath meal?

11:35 pm

EasternBlue

mama -

male pronoun + the " " (and the antelope play all day - but drop an "e")

11:35 pm

Jacula

he6/24 - add a personal pronoun to the end of the he5 before it.

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- drop the double vowel in the 6 that follows it

11:36 pm

11:41 pm

Jacula

The 10th 'he' is a shortened version of Mr. Munster's first name. The 11th adds the 1st vowel at the end and the 12th also adds the 3rd vowel.

11:42 pm

GreyWoulf
