12:32 am

Griffums

One of those mini-dramas...

12:33 am

renfield

p 7

12:33 am

Blaze

Is it like the new headache commercial... where the cat jumps and by the time all is settled all is broken....??

12:35 am

Griffums

Bear in mind this takes place in the space of about a minute and a half but at -9F outside. I remembered I need to plug in my car (block heater to keep the engine from freezing up). I'm not entirely dressed. Hunter wants to go outside. I put him out, I think "sure, I can dash out there for 10 sec and no one will notice me." I didn't even put on a jacket. I run down the stoop, plug in the car end, run up, plug in the house end, start in the door, and it's locked. I am Really Not Dressed. Worse, I can see Hunter through the glass in the front door, and he's on the back porch and he's lying down (which means his feet are too cold for him to stand).
I panic for a minute. Then I feel my pockets and THANK GOD my keys are still in there. I would not have wanted to go house to house with my door knockers (though I'm guessing ANYONE would have let me in). What a dumbbell.

12:36 am

Babbler

:O !!! omg!! thank goodness you had your keys!!

12:36 am

LeslieAnn

close call griff!

12:36 am

renfield

oh grifs!!!!!!!!

12:37 am

mamabear

LOL Griffums!!!!!! Thank GOD for pockets!!!!

12:37 am

Blaze

oh my ((((griff)))) big hugs and sighs of relief... having lived in the north I can relate...... ((((hugs)))

12:37 am

Griffums

(A dumbbell with her assets displayed to considerable advantage, but still a dumbbell.)

12:37 am

Babbler

*turns the heating up for Griffs, makes hot cup of tea too*

12:38 am

mamabear

makes me cold just reading about it!

12:38 am

Blaze

big warm blanket passed to griff.... now off to the hot tub with champeres of course

12:38 am

LeslieAnn

oh there is a pr 7 that is a synonym of one of the f8s

12:39 am

GreyWoulf

*Passes Hot spiced rum to Griff*

12:39 am

Griffums

now we're talkin

12:40 am

Babbler

*takes tea back*

12:40 am

mamabear

you got THAT right... did you say RUM????

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

*passes Hot spiced rum to Mama*

OK, who else wants one?

12:41 am

Blaze

me please and thank you....

12:41 am

Babbler

may I have a splash in my tea, please?

12:41 am

mamabear

mmmmmmmmmmmmm....thanks GW

12:41 am

GreyWoulf

*passes one to Blaze and then starts setting up a line*

12:42 am

JBsAnno

(passes Nyquil bottle to Griffs)

Just in case the rum doesn't work!

12:42 am

GreyWoulf

Mama -- I remember what my friends like ;)

12:42 am

Griffums

nuthin wrong with a backup

12:43 am

Griffums

Actually, that gives me an idea. *sets aside virtual hot rum, goes downstairs to get actual chocolate cream tequila*

12:43 am

mamabear

Griffs - now you are REALLY talkin!

12:44 am

mamabear

chocolate cream tequila???????? when did they invent that?

12:44 am

JBsAnno

aahh, a soothing beverage, good friends, and a manageable grid.
What more could one want at 1:30am (eastern US coast time)

12:44 am

Griffums

It's the Baja line - there's strawberry cream tequila and raspberry and chocolate. Baja Mocha + Nyquil - JB there's got to be a new drink name in there.

12:45 am

mamabear

Well, I for one, have hit a wall on this manageable grid. It's times like this that I realize I would never finish one without BJ's list.

12:46 am

mamabear

You know there are THREE different ways to spell the same word in this grid!!!!

12:47 am

Blaze

mama that is the babble way...... ((LOL))

12:47 am

Griffums

Yes, and like an idiot I *didn't* find it WITH THE ONE THAT"S SPELLED RIGHT OUT

12:47 am

Griffums

Y'know *rubs chin ruminatively* that really should be a triple word score.

12:48 am

JBsAnno

Griffs, how about "Acholia" - good for what ales you!

12:48 am

mamabear

OK - make that TWO DIFFERENT words that can each be spelled THREE different ways!!!!

12:49 am

Griffums

Mmmmm, that sounds good. Also what you say to your date - Acholia tomorrow.

12:49 am

Griffums

mamabear you just blew my mind

12:50 am

mamabear

I did?

12:51 am

Griffums

Yeah. I'm too drunk for higher math.

12:51 am

JBsAnno

Good idea, Griffs!
Acholia tomorrow on the chat log!
Goodnight (for real this time), everybody!
*toasts gang with sippy cup*

12:52 am

mamabear

nite JBs!!!!!! sleep tight & dream deep!

12:52 am

Griffums

'Night jb!

12:52 am

Blaze

12:53 am

mamabear

My kingdom for an A....

12:53 am

sprite

For Mama: A

12:53 am

Babbler

12:54 am

sprite

Morning dear gang :)

12:54 am

Blaze

12:54 am

Babbler

12:54 am

Griffums

hi sprite!

12:54 am

mamabear

thanks Sprite!!! *mamabear tries to grab that A and squiggle it up into the grid somehow... oops, it fell on the floor....*

12:54 am

GreyWoulf

Hi sprite! (*Hug*)

12:55 am

mamabear

I'm not incredible fond of A's either... but one strategically placed would be AcceptAble!

12:55 am

renfield

hey sprite!!!

12:55 am

Angelsong

hi, all

12:55 am

sprite

Dear Woulf! Congrats! How are you and how is Sebastian and how is Kirsten en how is your daughter??

12:56 am

mamabear

12:56 am

mamabear

Hi angelsong!!! And how are the newlyweds doing?

12:56 am

GreyWoulf

All well, tired and happy -- Kristianna went to bed with almost no stories tonight, She was so excited during the day she burned a lot of energy :)

12:56 am

renfield

12:58 am

GreyWoulf

Thank you sprite :)

12:59 am

cybernan

Good Morning UK babblers -- I've hit the wall, so the last 42 words can wait for tomorrow (11:03 pm here).

Good night, everyone :)

12:59 am

Babbler

lol, you didn't!! I'm blissed, listening to Blur and looking for words.. : )

12:59 am

Angelsong

they are both doing very well. I, on the other hand, am exhausted...because guess who babysat a nearly 2 year old while his mom and dad were celebrating?

12:59 am

Blaze

good nite C nan.... how are you ??

12:59 am

sprite

Nan, I am not from UK, but I wish you a perfect night of sleep nevertheless :)

12:59 am

Babbler

good going!, and good night, cyber : )

1:00 am

Griffums

night 'nan

1:00 am

mamabear

nite nan!
you're a good mom, angel!

1:00 am

renfield

later nan...8)

1:02 am

sprite

At least I found P7/44 in my first 10 words... guess I am doing a bit better than yesterday. Djeez, did I feel particularly blonde yesterday.

1:02 am

Griffums

Hmmm, the grid accedes that Gen-X exists, but does not believe it is valid...

1:02 am

Angelsong

Mama...Dylan was so keyed up he didn't go to sleep until 12:30 AM, slept until 8:30 AM, then was awake until about 3:30 PM. He'd barely waked up when his mom came to pick him up.

1:03 am

sprite

The worst crime of all, Griffs: inconsistency!

1:03 am

Griffums

Squeeze that little Dylan for us. Our little Dylan here (friend's baby) had high fevers all week and was hospitalized yesterday with Kawasaki syndrome. Scary stuff. :(

1:03 am

mamabear

hmmmm I have a p 7/32 but no p 7/40..... must hunt... must hunt....

1:04 am

Blaze

griff what is that ??

1:04 am

cybernan

Sorry Sprite -- know you are in NL -- come upe with a suggestion for an Amsterdam hotel yet? --- see you in the morning (delayed by spotting two more words!)

1:04 am

sprite

If you go hunting, Mama, you might find some neighbouring animals in your forest who are P7/44.

1:06 am

Angelsong

Dylan runs me and my husband (bless his heart) both ragged. But I rejoice that he is healthy and can be active. He's not hyper...he's just busy and very inquisitive, so we can't leave him alone for a moment.

1:06 am

Griffums

It's a viral, febrile illness, starts with fever, rash, then the skin of palms and foot soles starts to peel, but the real kicker is heart damage - causes coronary abnormalities that look like the arteries have had a tire blowout. He's doing okay so far.

1:06 am

sprite

LOL @ nan... babble is too addicting, I know.
A good hotel in Amsterdam? I can give you some names, sure! What kind of accommodation are you looking for? And if you come to Amsterdam, you just HAVE to visit me, of course! I am 20 minutes from Amsterdam.

1:07 am

sprite

Oh Griffs, what a nasty disease :( :(
You must be so worried.

1:07 am

Blaze

of griff that poor little one... and family.....

1:08 am

mamabear

That sounds dreadful, Griffs.... poor little guy... how does one come down with something like that?

1:08 am

Griffums

We are. But he's holding his own. Had his immuno globulin treatment and his heart looks okay. How can you explain it all to a baby that's only just had his first birthday. We hope he'll come home in another day or two.

1:09 am

Babbler

poor little thing. :(

1:09 am

mamabear

I'm hunting in the forest, sprite, but I must not be looking behind the right tree!

1:09 am

sprite

Brave little guy. Is someone of the family with him all the time or isn't that allowed?

1:09 am

Blaze

mamabear I am with you on that one....

1:10 am

Griffums

I don't think they know what causes it - it's pretty rare. More prevalent in Japan than here. But the death rate is low, only 1-2%, from these giant aneurysms that can form in the coronary vessels. Well anyway - not to be a downer here. He's okay now and that's important.

1:10 am

mamabear

Babbler's getting sleepy.....Babbler's getting sleepy.... *spoken in a sing song fashion*

1:10 am

sprite

Mama: some of your neighbours wear things on their heads.

1:10 am

cybernan

In the center of things, under 100 euros for a double ensuite. Doesn't need to be fancy, just handy. We have been looking in the guide books, and on line -- but no photos, so it makes it difficult to know what you're getting! Thanks.

1:10 am

Babbler

you're not wrong, Mamabear.... might have to go soon....

1:10 am

Griffums

Actually our hospital here (well, the one he's in) allows 24 hours visiting in all wards.

1:11 am

GreyWoulf

Mama & Blaze -- it is a descriptor for the animals, not the name of an animal -- builds of a pr5

1:11 am

sprite

That's a good thing, Griffs, that will help the kid cope.
For the P7/44: HP readers will remember the nickname of HP's dad.

1:11 am

cybernan

Mama and Blaze -- descriptive of forks.

1:12 am

Griffums

thanks for the good thoughts AND that clue!

1:12 am

Griffums

Also descriptor of antelopes.

1:13 am

Debs40ish

ex7/56...

1:13 am

cybernan

This time it is really good night!!

1:13 am

mamabear

good nite c-nan!!! sleep well!

1:14 am

sprite

Night nan! I'll look into it for you. Ask my husband too, he was born and raised in Amsterdam.

1:15 am

Griffums

I'm fading too, but I think that's because I was up at 4:30 am and also because any brain cells that didn't get frozen tonight are now filled with sugar and/or alcohol. My semaphores ain't flying.

1:16 am

sprite

It always amazes me how incredibly smart you still are, even without braincells, Griffs :)

1:16 am

Griffums

(am I the only one who tried typing Torgone in this grid?)

1:16 am

Babbler

I have officially faded. see you all later, folks! : ) zzzz

1:17 am

Babbler

ooh! I'm half way! 60 found, 61 to go : )

1:17 am

renfield

later babbler....

1:17 am

mamabear

(((((((BABBLER)))))))) sleep for 12 hours!!!! I wish you restful sleep & pleasant dreams....zzzzzzzzzzzz

1:17 am

Griffums

Oh yes, sprite, ask anyone about my incredible smarts. (DO NOT READ THE CHAT LOG)

1:17 am

sprite

Sweet dreams, Babbler :)

1:17 am

Griffums

Bye babbler - thanks for ALL the help tonight!! You rock!

1:18 am

mamabear

We are almost tied, Babbler!! I have 60 to go!!!

1:18 am

Babbler

lol! you guys are the best!! ((((( hugs to all!! ))))) xxx

1:19 am

mamabear

*mamabear whispers.....pppsssssttttt.... Blaze!.... did you find it yet?*

1:19 am

GreyWoulf

Good nite to those who are leaving :)

Brain is shutting down here -- time to go as well -- Good night to all

(*Hugs to all*)

Make sure to read my post at Bab Anon ;)

TTFN

1:19 am

Griffums

Nite GW!

1:20 am

mamabear

good nite, GW!!! sleep well & dream deep!!!! *kiss on cheek*

1:20 am

sprite

I need 'oxygen'.
Can't get it though.
Griffs, you are one helluva smart lady. Even when I read the chatlog, lol.

1:20 am

mab

You are smart, very, Griff - creative, quick, witty, and more!

Good night to sleepies, and hi again to all.

1:21 am

mamabear

hi mab!!!!!

1:21 am

renfield

later woflie

1:21 am

Griffums

hypothermic
frostbi tten

1:21 am

sprite

Woulf, sleep well! *big hug*

1:22 am

mab

You were just preoccupied with brilliant and profound thoughts, Griff.

1:22 am

sprite

Griffs, I should have posted: 'especially when I read the chatlog'! :)

1:23 am

Griffums

Yeah. I call the left one Brilliant and the right one Profound. Oh you're funny!

1:24 am

sprite

LOL! (goes to illustrate everything we just said about you)

1:24 am

mab

Ren, I didn't really mean to compare you to my cat earlier. I was looking for a joke in there somewhere, but bupkus.

1:24 am

sprite

bupkus??

1:25 am

renfield

LOL mab!!! i take it as a compliment to be compared to a cat!!! i only wish i was as smart as my cats!!!

1:25 am

mamabear

bupkus - nada - nothing

1:25 am

renfield

bupkus - nothing

1:25 am

Griffums

Zip, zilch, nada sprite...

1:25 am

mab

Well I'm not going to argue with you griff. I've read you and you are exceptionally intelligent and insightful. Period.

1:26 am

sprite

OMG, what a wonderful word!!!
In dutch, 'bup' is very close to a word for 'behind'.
'kus' is dutch for 'kiss'.
LOL!

1:26 am

renfield

i agree mab!! so there grif...8)

1:26 am

mab

Hi MamaBear! Are you recovering from the latest assault to your immune system?

1:26 am

Griffums

I am embarrassed by all the praise. (thanks) Also embarrassed that I'm well stuck in this grid.

1:26 am

sprite

I second mab on that completely, Griffs.

1:27 am

mamabear

Yes mab, I am not over it yet, but am finally starting to feel better. Thanks for asking!

1:28 am

mamabear

I also agree with mab, Griffs!!!!!! You make me laugh!

1:29 am

mamabear

It's getting cold in this forest and I am running out of trees...

1:30 am

Griffums

*blush* still think it would have made for a funny obit. "She froze to death on her front porch due to wearing only an (attractive) burgundy undergarment. All her friends said they would remember her for her intelligence."

1:31 am

Griffums

Sprite needs OXYGEN and I need a TOREADOR

1:31 am

sprite

(((((Griffs)))))
No way, we want you to stay with us for a very very very long time before we want to say something like that :)

1:32 am

mab

On a radio word game show that originates in New England, one of the topics was what various yiddish words meant. It was so crazy because they were so obvious to me and so mysterious to the wellbred semi-celebrity contestents.

Oh and one of their other mystery words was 'tirl,' -- a babble word!

1:32 am

Griffums

Well, mamabear said it best - thank god for pockets!

1:32 am

mamabear

found it... always behind the last tree you look!

1:34 am

Angelsong

am I the only one not able to load stats for this grid on BA?

1:34 am

sprite

LOL mab :)
Mama, that's the tree you should have started to look behind... ;)
Glad you found it. Sorry for the obscure clue.

1:34 am

Griffums

I don't think they've been posted, angel

1:34 am

mamabear

Angelsong - nope - they are not there yet.

1:36 am

mab

'...her intelligence, and, of course, her impeccable taste in lingerie.'

1:37 am

Griffums

Hey, at least I was wearing the one thing I wouldn't mind being caught dead in!
Oh hey what else - Hunter is now the poster kid at his daycare, he's on the front page with Auntie Kari
http://www.dogtireddayca re.com

1:38 am

sprite

I submit 'eonier' for 'during way too long'.

1:38 am

mamabear

He's adorable, Griffs!!!! Is he a scottie?

1:39 am

Griffums

Oooo, I like that one, Sprite.
How about eieionier on MacDonald's farm?

1:40 am

Griffums

No, he's a wolfhound/shepherd mix. Dumber than a box of rocks, but who needs brains when you look like that.

1:40 am

sprite

As in "His speech was even eonier than the one he had last week, I couldn't wait to stop listening to him".

1:42 am

sprite

Works for me too, Griffs :)
He is adorable, btw!

1:42 am

renfield

grif he's a cutie.
my pix is our chow/lab mix...like all our pets, she adpoted us!!!

1:42 am

mab

He's beautiful, griff. Interesting mix.

1:43 am

Griffums

As it should be, ren! She's cute!

1:44 am

mab

Aw, what a sweetie, ren. Again, a really interesting mixture.

1:47 am

mamabear

I give up for tonite. Gonna save the rest for tomorrow.
Good nite all! *hugs* Griffs - remember - KEYS IN THE POCKET!!!!

1:47 am

renfield

thanks mab...8) she's a sweetheart

1:48 am

Griffums

Okay, but that means I have to remember to KEEP MY PANTS ON
Sleep well mamabear!

1:48 am

mab

I mean, 'mensch, smootz, tchatke? I may boycott the show for excessive WASPishness.

I keep seeing phoenix in the grid.

1:48 am

sprite

Sweet dreams, Mama :)

1:49 am

renfield

yup grif- they have us in complete control....

1:49 am

Griffums

I saw phoenix. Also protege.

1:50 am

mab

Sweet dreams, Mama. Take care and see you later.

Me too, bed.

1:50 am

renfield

1:50 am

sprite

1:50 am

renfield

1:50 am

Griffums

'Night mab, sleep well.

1:52 am

Blaze

I was taken away and now I am back

1:53 am

mab

Griff, maybe you could hide a key outside, for just in case. That was a scary incident.

1:53 am

Griffums

as long as you were not taken aback

Making no progress here....

1:53 am

sprite

Wb, Blaze :)

1:53 am

Blaze

my 58 words are hiding very well

1:53 am

Griffums

You're right, mab, I should. I have a friend 1.5 mile away who has keys, but would do no good in these temps.

2:41 am

Jera

Morning, all!

2:42 am

Griffums

Hi, Jera!

2:42 am

Jera

I've decide this is the best time to Babble as it's the only time I have peace & quiet...

2:43 am

Griffums

Yes, it's a nice time to concentrate. THough the chat earlier tonight has been a lot of fun.

2:43 am

Griffums

It's kind of a rotten little grid.

2:44 am

Jera

Guess I just missed it... I don't allow myself to chat until halfway through... or I never get done!

2:44 am

Griffums

Yeah, I came in very late on yesterday's, was a race to the finish. So just stayed for the flip.

2:46 am

Jera

That's the way to go sometimes... I have quite a few left, but fell asleep on the couch after Chinese food & family time... they had fun watching the movie in spite of my snores...

2:47 am

Griffums

:))) That reminds me of when I was little - my dad would be snoring in the living room, but woe betide any child who laid a hand on the TV dial! Instant alarm clock!

2:48 am

sherb

hi Jera :D

2:48 am

Jera

It's amazing what will wake one up... the kids can run screaming through the house & my husband won't even twitch... but if someone is sneaking, he's instantly alert... must be the soldier training, LOL

2:50 am

Griffums

Actually, now that you mention it, that might have been the same with my dad, seriously. I do know that I (the littlest and the only girl) was always sent to wake him because I could do it without him leaping awake to throttle whoever was touching him. Sort of sad when you think of that I guess.

2:52 am

Jera

Hah! I did that very thing this afternoon... my husband worked night shift Friday night (5pm to 5am)... we went out to give him peace, but came back & I needed something from him, & to go out again without my son, so I sent my daughter in to ask him where the thing was...

2:52 am

Jera

Oh... hi sherb, didn't see you there at first!

2:53 am

Hugabugs

Griffs - my dad was exactly the same with the TV and falling asleep. It was like a siren had gone off if we touched that dial.

2:54 am

Griffums

Yep. Of course back then the dials made big clicking noises too. No mute, no closed caption... no chance. :)

2:54 am

sherb

hi Hugs :D ...long time no see...

2:54 am

Jera

Hey Hugs... howya doing?

2:55 am

Jera

Sheesh... I think I'm done until the BA list comes out... sad, really...

2:56 am

Griffums

awwwww. I'm still plugging. THought I couldn't do it without BJ's list but I'm down to 33 to go...

2:57 am

Jera

I have 57 left... I have the feeling there are many more words using the x hiding in the grid...

2:57 am

sherb

I like playing without BJ's list now and then... makes me think more...

2:57 am

Griffums

Maybe so. I think I've only found 5 or 6 so far.

2:58 am

Stef

noble gases are a theme today!!

2:59 am

Jera

I get a headache after a a certain amount of entering made-up words, LO... always a thrill when I discover one is valid, though!

2:59 am

sherb

morning stef :D ...well, I found the X...

3:00 am

Stef

there's an n too

3:00 am

Jera

I only have 2, Stef... how many more??

3:01 am

Stef

didn't mean to excite you. I've only got two. Just thought it was cool!

3:03 am

Hugabugs

I have 10 words so far, that contain the x

3:04 am

Stef

for a minute i thought radon was there too.

3:04 am

Griffums

I've only got 7 with the X, better get cracking!

3:04 am

Hugabugs

does anyone have the bottom R completed? I have the ro5/12, but just can't figure out the last one.

3:04 am

krajcd55

Griffums - I am kind of new at this - what is monkey typed?

3:05 am

Griffums

I have it - let me look

3:05 am

Stef

nice hugabugs! any clues?
i've only just started so i need all the help i can get :)

3:05 am

Jera

Well, that's it for me... back to bed for a few hours before the littlies awaken... hope to be back later to finish up! Nite all!

3:05 am

Griffums

Hugs, I think you're missing the r 6 that refers to vermin

3:06 am

sherb

Hugs - think of what you control a horse with

3:06 am

Hugabugs

I have that one too

3:06 am

Griffums

Kraj - monkeytyping just means typing by accident. Refers to the adage that a thousand monkeys typing at a thousand typewriters for a thousand years would eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare.

3:07 am

krajcd55

Thank you.

3:07 am

Hugabugs

I have re x 8 and ro x 5

3:07 am

Griffums

Griffums

Oh wait, there's a de 6 too

3:57 am

trishtrash

or a theatre in ancient Greece

11:01 am

FMitch

A kind of theater in ancient Greece, smaller than the dramatic theater and roofed over, in which poets and musicians submitted their works to the approval of the public, and contended for prizes; -- hence, in modern usage, the name of a hall for musical or dramatic performances.

What a wonderful def!!!! for a short 5 letter word.

11:43 am

mamabear

Babbler - what are you doing up, young lady????? *mamabear peers over glasses (but not really wearing any) and gives Babbler a stern look*

mamabear

What's with all the "blonde bashing"?????

11:47 am

mamabear

Oh, ok then, 8 hours is good. alright, maybe I am blonde too.......

11:48 am

mab

I don't especially think of blondes as a protected entity (they're all just jealous!), so I don't mind. (Joke)

11:48 am

mamabear

My sinuses are not happy today..... (didn't answer your "how are you question"...)

11:49 am

mamabear

LOl - I agree, mab!!!!

11:49 am

Babbler

Mamabear, they were the 'wrong' 8 hours though.... I slept the day away and the newsagents was closed by the time I woke, so I haven't got today's papers. I'll get them tomorrow (they save them for me). : ) (you're not being blonde!)

11:50 am

Babbler

sorry to hear your sinuses are unhappy. I've still got a cough lingering from that chest cold I had. :(

Sorry to bring this up, I know it's painful for us all, but have you noticed that in addition to pres. shrub's usual inarticulation there is now a semi-snort and a heh heh added to most statements. '...terrorism, heh.'

Makes him sound like beavis and butthead. Idiot.

A little Welsh rarebit? Oooo, no!

Mab, I am not a Bush supporter but I think you should be forgiven. Every once in a while we let our frustrations with politics get the better of us and our judgements on where that should be vented gets a little blurred. It happens to all of us!

12:15 pm

Uneaixoise

Jera

Greeting, fellow Babblers!

2:08 pm

Munner

Missy, this is their first baby. They kept insisting she would be born in January because they have double insurance coverage through the end of this month. My daughter-in-law quit her job two weeks ago. I'm a little concerned that my son is totally clueless how this little "bundle of joy" will change his life.

2:09 pm

mamabear

Hi Jera!
Munner - he will learn!!! One day at a time.

2:10 pm

bunnyvicious

Mama
re 6/21 add a vowel to the re 5 before it
re 6/24 to go back on a promise or commitment (kinda spelled like the beginning of a word for outlaw or loner)

2:10 pm

MissyMe

Judi It's dark and gloomy here, too. This weather is not much of a motivator. I prefer to just sit in front of the computer and fiddle fart around

2:10 pm

mamabear

does anyone have the last 2 re 6's please?

2:10 pm

mamabear

sorry, bunny, I didn't see your post until after I asked!!! Thanks!

2:11 pm

Jera

I'm home sick but my daughter is out selling Girl Scout Cookies (last day)!

2:11 pm

jesslondon

Hi there, It's the first time I play this game. Could anyone tell me why do the question marks appear next to the words? Does it mean they are dubious?

2:11 pm

LeslieAnn

nope, if you click on the question marks it will give you a definition

2:12 pm

Babbler

why don't you click on one and see, Jess? ;)

2:12 pm

Judi

Well, I did vacumm 2/3 of the house and cleaned the kitchen counters. So, I guess I can't be considered totally slothful. Still have to take a shower and finish vacumming. And then do a little ironing..... Oh, screw it. I'll just stay and babble.

2:12 pm

bunnyvicious

LMAO!!! All this time and I never bothered to click on one of those and see! Been using Webster online to help give clues, such a dolt!

2:13 pm

jesslondon

Silly moi! Thanks, guys

2:13 pm

Munner

I need a clue for do 7/36 please.

2:13 pm

Babbler

lol!! Bunnnyyyyyyyyyyy !! :D

2:13 pm

mamabear

bunny - I have that re 6/21 - it's the last one on the list I need.

2:13 pm

LeslieAnn

you might find these people at a hotel to let you in (or out)

2:13 pm

bunnyvicious

May as well Judi. What's the point of cleaning anyway? Just gets dirty again!

2:14 pm

Babbler

Mamabear, do4/5 again? ;)

2:14 pm

bunnyvicious

Sorry Mama, don't have it yet, haven't been here long...

2:14 pm

MissyMe

re6/21 past tense of word above it, means to draw in or like Rudolph the rednosed ****deer

re6/24 this is when someone backs off on a commitment, re + first 3 letters of word for opposite of "positive" * vowel

2:14 pm

Babbler

scrap that, it's past tense re4/4, Mama

2:15 pm

mamabear

thank you very much!!!!!!! 6 more.
and I agree with everyone.... it only gets dirty again anyway!

2:16 pm

MissyMe

Correction on my clue, that's + vowel...not * vowel

munner It really is life-changing to have a child and unfortunately most young people nowadays are not prepared

2:16 pm

Judi

Oh, Bunny, so true. Especially when we happen to be blessed with two cats and one dog. Hair there and everywhere.

2:17 pm

mamabear

how about the last te 6/18 & 7/28 please?

2:18 pm

Munner

Mama, te 7/28, this new little baby will be te----- than her cousins.

2:18 pm

bunnyvicious

te - small and smaller

2:18 pm

LeslieAnn

take the i out of munner's word and you have the 6

2:19 pm

Munner

Missy, he will probably do fine. He's just my kid who loves doing things impulsively. He's 27 years old, college graduate and has a great job. He and his wife are closing on their first home on the 31st and the baby is due the 1st. Great timing, huh? She has got to be so stressed.

2:19 pm

MissyMe

mama
te 6/18 & 7/28
te6/18 this is an extension of te4/4 above...add a nic"er" ending
te7/28 littler

2:21 pm

2:29 pm

2:59 pm

mamabear

And what's wrong with ears and slobber!!! LOL

3:00 pm

MissyMe

Basset hounds are FRIENDLY, SMART & LOYAL. Beagles can have bad tempers and be a real pain if you raise them alone--they need lots of company or they do bad things to get back at you :D

3:00 pm

Tim

talking LOTS of slobber!!!

3:00 pm

mamabear

Well, puzzle is done... think I'll go do.... I don't know.... something else.

3:08 pm

Honest truth, Missy Me -- I've never seen one either, but with today's theme I went looking for something Chinese and dog, and this came up :)

3:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

are we dogs or chinese new year?

3:09 pm

MissyMe

Temple, from ch1212's icon, I have to agree with you...wow!

3:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

ne6/24 -either we all go or no**** !

3:10 pm

MissyMe

THis is the Chinese New Year and it's their Year of the Fire Dog, I just put up the actual symbol for Fire dog :)

3:10 pm

help please for the ge 5/14's -- have the one in a bottle

3:23 pm

inge

my computer wont accept a perfectly good word for pr 7/44 meaning letting someone vote for you at the company annual meeting. Is there another word to fit that spot???

3:23 pm

MissyMe

ch1212 I was looking the price up on the internet. Apparently, a well-bred animal will set you back $300.00 American. I thought it would be much more

3:24 pm

MissyMe

inge
the word you want is past tense of the word above it, like the tine or pr*** of a fork

3:25 pm

ch1212

You're right -- $300 isn't much at all. The one in my icon looks fairly small, too -- nice if you don't have a big yard.

3:25 pm

chic

pr 7/32 ? thank you...

3:25 pm

cybernan

pr 7/44: build on the pr 5/16 -- descriptive of a fork

Cyber, Missy's right. I work quietly, although I enjoy watching the chat. The clues are often very helpful. Sometimes, when I'm not too fried, I try to jump in and give a clue or two, but not today.

3:52 pm

It's a "minbat". My son found it for me on a site with composites. It's sort of a fluffy cat in the snow, with an eagle's head.

3:53 pm

bunnyvicious

YANKING HAIR OUT!!!! Only need two more...this grid has been awful today! (...or I'm in idiot mode, hope it doesn't stick!)

3:54 pm

Minbat

Hi BV. What do you still need.

3:54 pm

MissyMe

Minbat lol Cute! I should have known...I was thinking, "Wow, that cat sure has an odd nose..."

3:55 pm

mo

MissyMe ...i didnt think anyone overseas would appreciate my sense of humour...how wrong could i be!!!

3:55 pm

MissyMe

bunny You're definitely not alone. I was left with two words easily seen in the grid but my eyes were jittery from concentrating and I just couldn't see them.

3:56 pm

Minbat

This is a horrible grid. Especially for having all those E's and things.

3:57 pm

MissyMe

((((mo)))) You have a fine sense of humor :)

3:57 pm

bunnyvicious

I wanted to do it without clues (bj's list non-withstanding)....

3:58 pm

MissyMe

bunny BJ didn't post today ;)

3:59 pm

bunnyvicious

Has the world ended?

3:59 pm

Minbat

Yes, Missy, he did! And Bunny, I admire you for going at it without clues. But did you pick a tough day for it...

4:00 pm

bunnyvicious

LOL, hours and hours later (many glares from the husband too!), I am finished (and my brain is fried!)!!!!! Yay me!!!!

4:00 pm

mo

MissyMe...at long last , someone who understands me!!!!

4:01 pm

Minbat

Yay Bunny! If only husband could understand the accomplishement!

4:01 pm

MissyMe

Minbat??? When I checked a few hours ago it hadn't been posted. I did the puzzle without BJ's list which is probably why I had so much trouble.

4:02 pm

MissyMe

mo I enjoy, dry, subtle, intellgent humor--makes you work your brain cells

4:02 pm

Minbat

It says posted 1/29/06 at 12:57 pm by BrandyJack.
I just got on around then, so I guess I was lucky.
I would have been bummed not to find it, since I just discovered its existence!

4:02 pm

MissyMe

Yay bunny! Congrats :)

4:03 pm

bunnyvicious

I can't blame him, 6 hrs is way to long to spend on a game.... especially when most of the dishes are dirty. Everyone teases about the Babble addiction, I might need to go to the real Bab Anon!!!

4:03 pm

mo

BrandyJacks list was listed ages ago

4:04 pm

MissyMe

bunny...the only thing we would do in the meetings is discuss the latest "stupidhead" word...would defeat the purpose of going... :D

4:04 pm

bunnyvicious

True...

4:05 pm

Minbat

I got a kick out of the definition for the only C word.

4:05 pm

inge

I am missing only two words: de 5/22 and go 5/20. Couldnt make out earlier clues. Can someone give me another chance?

4:06 pm

MissyMe

lol Minbat I never knew the definition of that word. It's a common crossword puzzle word I've used for years...

4:06 pm

bunnyvicious

de 5/22 - spell just like do 5/22

4:06 pm

suthundish

grrrrrr....cannot find ro6/21....anyone have good clue?

4:07 pm

Vicuna

ro6/21 - there are ones of unusual size in "The Princess Bride"

4:07 pm

bunnyvicious

go 5/20 go + opp of yes + the letter grade for a 60%

4:07 pm

Minbat

De5/22 is slang for an old-fashioned "diet pill". So it contains ***troamphetamine.

4:07 pm

DarleenMB

ro6/21 think rats and mice and squirrels

4:08 pm

mo

inge...go5...sounds like it could have turned sour!!!

4:08 pm

bunnyvicious

ro 6/21 - little fuzzy critters you try to kill

4:08 pm

suthundish

thanks...staring in wrong direction for too long! got it :)

4:08 pm

Minbat

Look at my icon... I'd like to prey on those ro6's...

4:09 pm

MissyMe

inge
de 5/22 This word uses the "x", rhymes with sexy but spelled differently, (add two different vowels at end of word)
go 5/20 first 3 letters of word above it + opposite of "on"

4:09 pm

Minbat

Missy writes good clues.

4:10 pm

bunnyvicious

Minbat, I think you should try air drying instead of the blowdryer.

4:10 pm

inge

Got it. Got it. Come and dance with me!!!

MissyMe

Minbat How nice of you to say. TY :)

4:11 pm

4:21 pm

I have to admit, I used a2z for three words, and relied on clues in the log for many others.

4:22 pm

mab

And, thank goodness FMitch posted her second letter list.

4:22 pm

bunnyvicious

Can't feel my legs anymore, must get out of chair now, maybe make sure the kids aren't spray painting anything... Be back tomorrow for more punishment! Take care!

4:26 pm

4:26 pm

periwinkle

thanks everyone, found the do7, I used to live in an apt building with one of those, nice place. But don't live there anymore, too expensive

4:28 pm

harpjane

jess--correct. you see the total by subscribing to Babble. However, most of the time someone posts it on Babbler's Anonymous within the first hour or so. (Right hand column of the screen.) Welcome!

4:28 pm

MissyMe

Jess Yes...
And Hello! :)
Look right... Click on Babblers Anonymous. Click General. Go to first post. There is a list posted of the first two letters, the letter count and the amount of points awarded

I usually copy and paste the list to Notepad and keep it on my desk :)

4:31 pm

jesslondon

cool, thanks guys. Any other advantages to subscribing? (Other than rewarding the guy who designed and maintains this site...)

4:32 pm

periwinkle

dr6/27, er7/32 and ex7/56, have not been playing very long today and am already tired of sitting in one place, that is my excuse for asking for so many clues :)

4:32 pm

MissyMe

Jess lol!
The stats on this page you can flip to is very helpful when BrandyJack hasn't posted the list you were directed to.

4:34 pm

Judi

No6-24? Apologies if this has been asked before. I've been away for a few hours.

4:35 pm

JBsAnno

jesslondon - it's a lot more fun for me with the stats, and to see where words start, 'specially near the end of grids with 4 minutes left to go.
I held out going pro for 1.5 months, very glad I did.
Plus it's fun to play with icons!
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

4:35 pm

harpjane

no 6/24- If we all can't go, then "no****:

4:35 pm

MissyMe

peri
dr6/27, same first 4 letters as word above this one + opposite of "stop"
er7/32 e + another word for vermin or rat
ex7/56 first 3 letters of word above it + a word meaning to acquire something, "Go *** me that towel", + vowel

4:36 pm

JBsAnno

Because Babbler's Bag says "fire dog" -
REFRESH!

4:37 pm

MissyMe

judi
No6-24
prefix meaning "not" + opposite of Freud's "id", ( When someone is arrogant, he has a big head or he has a big ***, it can be deflated)

4:37 pm

JBsAnno

harp, lol your last clue!

4:38 pm

harpjane

Some day I want to have a theme where everyone posts a picture of whatever their first word (noun) was. Today I would post a picture of a group of badgers.... Someone else might post a picture of an apartment building attendant.....

4:39 pm

Judi

Thanks, Missy. You clue for the No6-24 worked. I was lost on Harp's clue.

4:39 pm

harpjane

Thanks JBs but I just repeated what someone gave me a few hours ago!

4:39 pm

MissyMe

harp you should pass that one to Babbler :)

4:40 pm

periwinkle

MissyMe, thanks so much, the dr6/27 and ex7 were new words for me

4:40 pm

MissyMe

YW Judi

I'm happy when there are several clues posted. If one doesn't work for me, hopefully, another will

4:41 pm

periwinkle

missing the third ge5/14, also need ne6/21

4:41 pm

JBsAnno

I like that idea, harp, but what icon would you use for the fo 8/60? ex 7/56?
*waits breathlessly for answer...*

4:41 pm

Haz1558

peri, use a different vowel on the end of the ge word.

4:42 pm

MissyMe

peri
third ge5/14 same first 3 letters of word above it + another word for fish eggs, (drop the "e")
ne6/21 past tense of ne4/4 word above it

4:42 pm

periwinkle

Haz, thanks, can't believe I missed that one

4:43 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome!

4:45 pm

MissyMe

JB For the ex 7/56 I'd be cryptic and have someone going through a gate. :)

4:46 pm

periwinkle

ni5/12 and ni4/9 please

4:47 pm

JBsAnno

<chuckle> - good one, MissyMe!

4:47 pm

Haz1558

ni 5/12 - female daughter of sister or brother

4:48 pm

MissyMe

ni4/9 When you drop an idea you ni* it...add a vowel at the end

4:49 pm

harpjane

JBs--it would certainly be a challenge in some cases. For the fo8/55, you could show a clock. I don't think fo 8/60 is a noun...

4:49 pm

mo

peri ni4 has a high scoring letter in it ...i dont know what it means

4:50 pm

periwinkle

Haz, thanks, another obvious one I missed
MissyMe, don't get your clue

4:50 pm

periwinkle

nevermind, found the ni4 thanks

4:51 pm

MissyMe

peri Mo's clue is better...the high scoring letter is in this one, word rhymes with pikes

4:53 pm

MissyMe

mo definition for that word:
A water creature in German and Scandinavian folklore, usually shown in human form. The name is akin to Anglo-Saxon nicor, and Old High German nihus, all designating some kind of water fiend.

4:53 pm

JBsAnno

Still, harp, it's too good of an idea for icon themes to be ni 5/22!

4:54 pm

MissyMe

JB lol

4:54 pm

JBsAnno

ow, MissyMe - that's too much education on a lazy Sunday afternoon for my brain!
<chuckles carefully lest begin coughing again!>

Thanks, JBs. (damn vowels!)

5:31 pm

JBsAnno

Ah, but what I wouldn't give for an "A" today!

5:32 pm

Judi

A-MEN! (for JBs)

5:32 pm

Judi

Just missing the Pr6-21. Have mercy on my fried brain.

5:34 pm

5:35 pm

Judi

Thank you, Missy and thank you all! I am done. Have earned my dinner at California Taco. :-))

5:36 pm

MissyMe

Judi Well done! Enjoy your meal :)

5:36 pm

JBsAnno

You're right! I reneg my previous comment, so the grid does not lengthen!

<hhmm, notice the missing first vowel in this comment?>

5:37 pm

Judi

Well, geesh, JBs... that's a subtle clue!

5:37 pm

JBsAnno

Yay, Judi! I rejoice with you!

Mmm, tacos!

5:38 pm

MissyMe

Judi lol I was thinking the same, very subtle... ;)

5:38 pm

JBsAnno

LOL!

5:39 pm

Judi

Lots of weird words in today's puzzle. However, not as weird as yesterday. I didn't even come close to finishing yesterday.

5:40 pm

JBsAnno

Me neither, in fact, I didn't even come close to starting!

5:40 pm

MissyMe

Judi, I never got around to yesterday's grid but looked at a few hours ago. OUCH! What a nasty-looking thing it is...lil beastie...

5:40 pm

Judi

It truly was evil, Missy. Glad we don't get too many like that.

5:41 pm

JBsAnno

Sometimes Dr_God likes to go to the dark side...

5:43 pm

MissyMe

Yesterday's puzzle, speaking in it's defense:

"I'm not evil, I was just drawn that way..."

:)

5:43 pm

JBsAnno

lol, MM!

5:45 pm

Judi

I just realized the theme was "year of the dog". Now that I'm done with the puzzle, I thought I'd change my icon. Better late than... whatever.

5:46 pm

MissyMe

Looking at yesterday's right now. Course, I got kacteoen right away, it just popped right out at me :)

5:46 pm

JBsAnno

Judi, instead of playing words last night, I went icon searching.
Now I'll just have to remember to change it every day!

5:47 pm

Judi

Sure... it pops right out at you... WHEN YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS!!!! lol

5:48 pm

MissyMe

Judi...The chat shows you just posted the same message 9 times in a row...boy is my page messed up...I...must...refresh...

5:48 pm

JBsAnno

Surely you're making that word up, right?

5:48 pm

MissyMe

JB yes thanx for noticing lol!

5:48 pm

JBsAnno

<please, oh, please, just waiting for the comeback...>

5:48 pm

Judi

Time to go get my tacos. See you kids tomorrow at some point.

5:49 pm

MissyMe

JB but since we're not doing that puzzle any more it accepted my word without question. :)

5:50 pm

MissyMe

Bye Judi...Im munching on pizza right now but tacos sure sound good

5:51 pm

JBsAnno

It's my Sunday brain, too many old movie references...

"Yes, it is a word. And stop calling me Shirley..."

<sigh>

Thanks for putting up with me!

5:53 pm

MissyMe

JB a totally easy way to get an icon is to put whatever your looking for in your search engine and add the word "photo" at the end. Right at the top of the list of sites is "Google Images". Google turns every image it has on all the websites into thumbnail sized photos. I just save the one I want to My Pictures

5:55 pm

MissyMe

JB Airplane is such a funny movie! We have another vector, Victor.

5:56 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks for playing, MissyMe!
Yes, I love Google Images. I usually try to have a cat somewhere in my icon, but that didn't work for today.

5:56 pm

JBsAnno

I play Babble, AND I speak jive!

5:57 pm

MissyMe

What's interesting is the chinese dog in your picture has always had a cat-like appearance to me

6:48 pm

Jacula

Sorry, was checking out info on Provence, where I'd like our next holiday to be (after Crete in July).

6:50 pm

Jacula

tabby - dr6/27 is what the Aussie's called a 'twit' or a stupid person.

6:52 pm

Jacula

dr6 is actually a bird but our Antipodean friends use its names as a derisive term for no-brainers. Hope that helps!

6:52 pm

hootowl

Greetings all!
Ok - I give up! Did the first part without a word list and boondoggled the second part. I do lurk occasionally and thank all who helped but mostly typed anything I could think of and hit the most amazing and weird words!

I think I hit every possible permutation but the right one!

6:53 pm

Jacula

*name! I can't seem to type tonight!

6:54 pm

renfield

hoot - like the south - way down south in d**** replace the 1si vowel w/ the 2nd vowel

6:54 pm

Jacula

Hoot - Hiya. Have you ever heard of the song, 'Come On Eileen'? It ws by De**'s Midnight Runners. This word uses 2 vowels at the end instead of the 'sometimes' vowel.

6:55 pm

ExWren

hootowl - de+kiss+for example

6:55 pm

hootowl

Hi jac - I use your system too. Otherwise I'd be on here for hours!

6:56 pm

Jacula

Goodness! I'm surrounded by W/rens and Owls! LOL.

6:56 pm

JBsAnno

hootowl - take your do 5/22 and change the first vowel in the word to the 2nd vowel in the alphabet

6:57 pm

JBsAnno

7:03 pm

Jacula

7:03 pm

hootowl

I looked for ro 6/21 about 30 times and finally spotted it after making my fingers sore. Taking breaks is essential!

7:03 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, hoot, but I'm done!!!

7:18 pm

musicmom

Hey jac that's a good one!

7:19 pm

renfield

we've been driving around nasa listening to david bowie's space oddity and ziggy stardust....that's what's been on my brain....*)

7:20 pm

Jacula

MusicMom/Ren - I read that other day that middle-aged males are commonly admitted to hospital with shoulder and back injuries after dancing too enthusiatically at wedding receptions etc., to 'Hi Hi Silver Lining'. They try to stab the air and strut like they did when it first came out in their teens. ROFLOL.

7:20 pm

musicmom

hmmmmm I like David Bowie too.

7:21 pm

Jacula

I'm a Bowie fan, too.

7:21 pm

musicmom

hehehehehhe That's hilarious.

7:21 pm

harpjane

They should just do the motions to YMCA and they'll be safe!

7:22 pm

renfield

lol mistress.....i'll look for those guys the next time i go to a wedding!!!

7:22 pm

Jacula

LOL, Harp. My Paul used to have to teach people that dance when he was a DJ.

7:22 pm

Tim

Hello everyone . 10 more to go--fo6/30?--go5/20?

7:23 pm

Jacula

I've watched guys in their 30s (my Paul included) nearly give themselves heat attacks doing the 'guys dancing' stuff to Madness. Tee hee.

7:23 pm

musicmom

My husband doesn't dance. He says he's always with the band.

7:24 pm

renfield

fo 6 = fo 4 4/7 + what they say at weddings I **

7:24 pm

Jacula

Madness - 'Baggy Trousers' etc. Was one of the few bands the boys would all dance to willingly.

7:24 pm

harpjane

fo 6/30 is the present tense of 8/60, if that helps. fo4 + do4

7:24 pm

renfield

mez and i usually end up slam dancing.....

7:26 pm

harpjane

go 5/20, opposite of "came on" spelled funny

7:26 pm

Tim

thanks, how about the go5/20?

7:27 pm

SueL

One word left and I can not find it.
Can I have a clue for the od 5 12 please....

7:27 pm

Jacula

od5/12 - popular name for cinemas.

7:27 pm

harpjane

There are three songs that seem to show up at any family gathering that involves a DJ---YMCA, Who Let the Dogs Out (Woof, woof, woof, WOOF!) and a new addition, the worst one yet--Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy!

7:28 pm

renfield

od 5 = od + 2nd vowel + opposite of off

7:28 pm

musicmom

We're traditionalists -- we use YMCA, the Chicken Dance and the Hokey Pokey --- I have an aunt named Pokey.

7:29 pm

SueL

Done thank you both..

7:29 pm

renfield

lol harp...i haven't heard the cowboy song...

7:29 pm

Jacula

Another song I've seen cause injuries to people any age is anything by Stats Quo when the timing goes wrong and they end up crashing heads.

7:29 pm

musicmom

Save a horse etc. is so funny.

7:29 pm

renfield

how about the bunny hop?

7:29 pm

musicmom

OH yeah! And the electric slide.

7:30 pm

renfield

that chicken dance is so funny!!!!!

7:30 pm

renfield

7:30 pm

musicmom

15 minute break. Need to finish cleaning up the kitchen. My daughter did her part.

7:31 pm

musicmom

7:32 pm

renfield

7:45 pm

Tim

7:46 pm

Jacula

Tim - you must've forgot to put the cheese in the trap. LOL.

Incidentally, useless trivia here: mice don't like cheese.

7:47 pm

Jacula

Theme for tomorrow (today to me, here in UK) is 'Musical Instruments'. I've got my Gibson Double Neck ready.

7:47 pm

Tim

thanks harp and ren, good one jac!

7:48 pm

renfield

i'm considering my 12 string, drum set, or my tonette...

7:49 pm

musicmom

Ren - it was a disco dance. I don't know who did it. Hold on- I'll google.

7:49 pm

Jacula

Ren - Have you mailed me those pics yet?

7:49 pm

musicmom

The Electric Slide is a four wall line dance. Originally it was The Electric (Electric Boogie), created in 1976 by Ric Silver for the opening of Vamps Disco ...

7:50 pm

Jacula

Speaking of dances, does anyone remember Rufus Thomas's 'Funky Chicken'?

7:50 pm

renfield

not yet...i'm moving them from a cd to my notebook..i'll start in a few sorry....

7:50 pm

musicmom

I love the funky chicken.

7:51 pm

Jacula

Okay, Ren. Still chilling out here to Ladysmith BM.

7:52 pm

Jacula

MusicMom - I hope you keep your elbows high and your expression haughty when you're dancing to it?

7:52 pm

musicmom

Just heard Manic Monday --- good one for tomorrow -- hope the puzzle isn't manic.

7:52 pm

musicmom

Jac, But of course!

7:53 pm

Jacula

I hope the grid isn't manic, too. I need to retitle all my photos and do a major file sort prior to zapping the hard drive.

7:53 pm

Tim

no6/24? jacula, saw youre post earlier, still couldnt get it.

7:54 pm

Jacula

no6 - use all of the no4 above it (meaning 'nothing') + opposite of 'stay'.

7:55 pm

Tim

DOH

7:56 pm

Jacula

Tim - have you become Homer? LOL.

7:56 pm

musicmom

Mondays are Bible Study day and it is at my house. Don't think I can hide the fact that I'm not paying attention. I have to Babel instead of Babble. <g>

7:56 pm

Jacula

MusicMom - :-)

7:57 pm

Tim

I am Homer....

7:57 pm

Jacula

Now I'm singing Elton John's 'Tower of Babel'.

7:58 pm

musicmom

It's too bad you don't live closer - I bet we could have a lot of fun with our music collections.

7:59 pm

renfield

if we all lived close we would have a lot of fun!!!!

7:59 pm

Jacula

Tim - I just imagined you sitting down on a chair, amongst a circle of other chairs there and saying, 'My name is Tim and I am Homer'.

The rest of us would have to say, 'My names's Soandso and I am A Babbler.' :-)

(Which was by BabAnon was set up!)

7:59 pm

musicmom

No doubt. Even Texas and Ohio are too far apart.

8:00 pm

Jacula

Anj has some way of sharing music on BabAnon. I've not looked into it though.

8:00 pm

renfield

right music mom...we have friends in ohio and only get to visit through e-mail....

8:01 pm

renfield

me either mistress...i guess we should on day....

8:01 pm

Tim

DOH....I need 2 do's do6/21 and the do5/12 after that.

8:02 pm

musicmom

Yep I have friends in Arizona and CA. I doubt I'll ever get out there. I would like to though.

8:03 pm

Jacula

dr6/21 - one who does the dr5 before it. Think of a boring speaker or a tone-deaf sing-alonger.

8:04 pm

Jacula

Tim - there is no do5/12 after that??

8:05 pm

Jacula

OOps! You said do6/21.

8:05 pm

Tim

have the dr's need the do's

8:06 pm

Jacula

do6/21 - add another 'n' to the word above it.

do5 - one who gives blood is a blood do***.

8:07 pm

Jacula

CORRECTION!

Add another 'e' for the do6, not another 'n'.

8:09 pm

musicmom

ex 7/56?

8:09 pm

Tim

OK got the 6, its the 5/12 before the 6/21....sorry.

8:11 pm

Jacula

ex7 - ex + sounds like you need to open e-mail + a vowel.

8:13 pm

Tim

Done ......Yeah

8:14 pm

Jacula

There's an 'ex' word (that after the 'ex' sounds like the first book of the OT but without the 'n') that means: Explanation or interpretation of a critical text, especially of the Bible. The person who can do this is the 'ex' word you seek.

8:14 pm

musicmom

Jac --- I'm being dense. Without looking it up do you have a definition?

8:15 pm

musicmom

I know that word. Thanks!

8:16 pm

Jacula

MM - I'm tempted to say 'Praise the Loard!' here that you know the word. I was wondering how else to explain it otherwise.

8:17 pm

Jacula

*Lord. My fat fingers are typing again!

8:17 pm

musicmom

You can praise him. I don't know how else i would have gotten it.

8:17 pm

Jacula

Well done, Tim!

*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR TIM*~*~*~

8:27 pm

musicmom

ne 4/4 not the geek

8:30 pm

Jacula

The geek's an ne4/5.

8:30 pm

Jacula

Or did you seek the Hawaiian goose?

8:31 pm

musicmom

I'm the geek ----- forgot to mark both of them off my list. DUH. Nothing like wasting time looking for something I already have.

8:31 pm

Jacula

Drat! Now you've got ME doing it! The type of light is an ne4/4!

8:32 pm

musicmom

Sorry:-(

8:32 pm

Jacula

S'okay. LOL.

8:33 pm

8:33 pm

Jacula

8:34 pm

musicmom

Nah.... she's standing in front of the mirror trying to learn the electric slide with directions from the internet.

8:34 pm

musicmom

How about ni 5/12 ---- is there a limit to how much help I can get? <G>

8:35 pm

Jacula

ROFLOL, MM!:-))))))))))))

8:35 pm

aknitter

8:36 pm

Jacula

8:36 pm

musicmom

OH MY GOSH!!! Maybe I should be doing the Electric Slide....

8:37 pm

musicmom

Yeah I'm kicking myself. I got so used to not using the "c" I completely forgot to try to use it. Sheesh. Maybe it's time to quit? But, I'm so close to finishing!

8:37 pm

Jacula

Hi AKnitter!I'm on hairy scarf no.8 now!

8:39 pm

Jacula

AKnitter - *Jac glances around and then whispers, 'So do I.*

8:39 pm

musicmom

I actually debated quilting tonight instead of babbling, but, well... the computer was right here by the chair and the quilt is clear across the room<G> I don't know how to knit but my daughter does a pretty good job.

8:39 pm

aknitter

more like simultaneously, hard to knit and type at the same time but i watch the log and look for words.

8:41 pm

billie1987

8:42 pm

musicmom

Hi Billie now you start asking for help<g> Scroll down through the chat ---there are clues I've been soliciting. There are great pros here who give excellent clues.

8:42 pm

Jacula

Hello billie. Well, you either quit and leave it at that, or come back and check the word list for 'yesterday's puzzle' in the archives later, or you keep on going. The choice is yours.

8:44 pm

musicmom

pr 7/44? Last night I couldn't see the short ones. Tonight it is the long ones.

8:46 pm

Jacula

pr7/44 - add a short version of the head of a newspaper or magazine to the pr before it. (Sounds like a past tense word.)

8:47 pm

Jacula

Sorry for the delay in giving the clue - I was just setting a Whitesnake cd up.

8:47 pm

ajschuring

Hi all. I saw the previous clues for ex7. I am still stumpped. Any more help from anyone please. Monkey typing isn't geting it done for me.

8:48 pm

musicmom

No problem. I'm bumbling through this tonight. Maybe I need something rockin on too. I got it by the way. Shew I'm not seeing the obvious ones.

8:49 pm

musicmom

all the vowels are the same (ex7)

8:50 pm

aknitter

re 6/24 anyone?

8:51 pm

musicmom

I don't want to bo back on my turn. (re6/24) Think Euchre

8:51 pm

Jacula

re6/24 - to go back on a promise.

8:52 pm

Jacula

(Looks a bit llike a photographer redoing his negatives.)

8:52 pm

aknitter

oops meant the re 6/21 just above it

8:53 pm

Jacula

LOL. Sorry for the double 'l' (Welsh version) of 'like'! :-)

8:54 pm

Jacula

re6/21 - what you did to your horse to bring it to a halt - you re**** it in.

8:54 pm

ajschuring

Finally!!! the same vowels did it for me Thanks bunches!!

8:54 pm

musicmom

No sweat. It feels good to help someone else instead of always being the beggar.

8:55 pm

aknitter

ty jac, a large hairy ball (of yarn) is headed your way LOL

8:55 pm

Jacula

AJSC - Thank God you got that! I was hoping you'd get it from MM's clue. Next step would have been 'driving instructions' to find it.

8:56 pm

ajschuring

I know it feels good.

8:56 pm

Jacula

AKnitter - OOh, thanks! Speaking of large hairy things, I've gotta get my other half up for work in about 4 mins., so I may be gone for a while.

8:57 pm

ajschuring

8:57 pm

aknitter

euuuu gross

8:59 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - He's not gross, he's LUVERLY! I never used to like hairy men until I met him. He''s THE BEST and I love him to bits.

9:00 pm

aknitter

it was just the description, sounded rather funny actually.

9:00 pm

musicmom

en 5/12 is it a common word? I don't want a clue if it is. This is frustrating me that I'm not seeing them.

9:00 pm

Jacula

9:01 pm

ajschuring

I glisten. LOL en5 not really common

9:12 pm

JoJoFunLvg

AJ: 25,000 people at the rally this early morning, so the radio said while driving home. Course, it was free, so no real stats. However, my husband is real tall and said that they blocked off the area we were in early, but the fans were way out in the street. The Seahawks were there in droves. Go Seahawks.

9:13 pm

musicmom

I don't like the Jets either. Can't stand the quarterback and they dropped a friend of ours from the roster.
Thanks for the coffee ajs.

9:13 pm

I was born and raised in Cincinnati. We are bred to despise the Steelers and the Browns. My sister is traitor but that is another story. They took Carson Palmer out at the knees in the playoffs. No way am I rooting for them. I think Matt H. is a cutie.

Ak - from hereonin the word 'diet' is BANNED! Only 'revised eating plans' are allowed. Any other plan is going down the road to failure.

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend the Splenda for baking mix that is out there -- Splenda alone will not survive baking -- but the mix is half sucrolose and half sugar --- it has no discernable effect on the flavor :)

9:51 pm

Grey - I've been curious as to whether that stuff is really good. I'm afraid of buying it only to toss it due to any "after taste"

9:52 pm

Jacula

BTW, when my ex and my kids arrived here on Saturday after a shopping trip bearing a box of KrispyKreme doughnuts... Well, one of them said, 'Sorry about that! We know you and Mum are on a diet.' 'We're NOT on a diet!' said Paul (my other half). 'No! said I. 'We're on a revised eating plan and we've just revised it. Now give those bloody doughnuts HERE!' LOL.

Hey everyone. I have lost 75 lbs, yes I called it a diet, not a "revised eating plan". This is what I did, never went onto a planned diet from weight watchers, or low carbs. Just ate what I usually did, but just less of it. My stomach shrunk, and now, I can't eat much. My kids and husband think I anorexic. No, not even close.

10:04 pm

Jacula

As the mother of an anorexic (correctly termed, anorectic, since anorexia is the generic term for a huge number of versions of this eating disorder) I can only say at the moment, never actively deny yourself any kind of food. You do not need to do that. If you take in more calories than your body needs for its functions of the day then make up for it the next day.

10:04 pm

renfield

psychologist will tell you the word diet has become so abused that it automatically makes people hungry....munch, munch, munch!!!!

10:06 pm

Jacula

Ren - you've got it almost in one! Aside from that, the brain set immediately thinks, 'Diet? EEK! I must store every morsel I receive in my fat cells.'

10:23 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren & Woulfie: It wasn't you guys, I was upset about Jac correcting my terminology. That wasn't necessary. She/he just wanted to make a statement at my expense.

10:28 pm

JoJoFunLvg

OK Jac: Yea, I was a bit upset by you correcting my terminology on the subject of dieting. Like you were being condescending. But, now, even before my last email was posted, you apologized, and I forgive you. Remember I am a Rooster. I forgive all, once they make amends. Friends still?

10:28 pm

Jacula

Jojo - I'm sorry if you thought I was trying to be clever at your expense. I wasn't, truly. If you thought I was, then I apologise profusely.

I've been through so much re the illness mentioned, I guess I get pretty picky about details to do with it. I'm a Mum. No more, no less.

Sorry if I upset you, JoJo.

10:46 pm

MissyMe

I kept saying the fo4/7 word in clues I was giving when I used the word be****...hehe. So easy to slip up like that

10:46 pm

Jacula

Jojo - I do stress because I think we need to talk. Okay, later then.

10:47 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: I didn't think that you were. If I indicated that, I am sorry. It wasn't suppose to mean that. Sorry.

10:47 pm

MissyMe

its an re word you're missing...the x is silent in that one...re5/22

10:49 pm

boatierra

MissyMe - Thanks. I'll keep looking.

10:49 pm

Jacula

REDuction of rust.

10:49 pm

MissyMe

boatierra okay :)

10:50 pm

Jacula

If you were posting about a post DOXylover had put on here, you might begin by typing re...

10:51 pm

boatierra

Ah-ha!! Got it!! My eleventh X. Thanks all. Always feels good to get a puzzle within a puzzle done :)

10:51 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, I've spent all Babbling parts of my day trying to type in TORGONE, XEROX & RONEO (photocopiers from the 70s), FORGET and TOFFEE.

10:52 pm

MissyMe

boa...how true, the little victories add up!

10:52 pm

Jacula

Werll done, Boat!

10:52 pm

JoJoFunLvg

I am out of here!

10:53 pm

JBsAnno

Jac, a recent puzzle had ANNO in it, just wasn't accepted as a word.
I'm sure Torgone won't feel slighted!

10:53 pm

MissyMe

Bye Jo jo :)

10:53 pm

zubie

Hi again.

Clue for that ex7 anyone?

10:54 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, everybody!
I did the happy dunce of danceness earlier.
aaaahh, wait...
Dance of doneness!

10:54 pm

JoJoFunLvg

10:54 pm

MissyMe

10:55 pm

MissyMe

10:58 pm

MissyMe

Boa...does your name mean Beautiful Earth?

10:58 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, MissyMe, I love it the late chat on Sunday when the grid is done!
No pressure, just clues and fun, and cake, and chocolate, and special drinks.
He's a cutie, huh? (the dog)

10:59 pm

boatierra

MissyMe - You got it. 'Boa' means good in Portugues, and 'tierra' means land/earth in Espanol.

10:59 pm

zubie

Ok. Thanks everyone. Got three words out of those clues :D

10:59 pm

MissyMe

*looks around for the goodies* I want cake! Yeah chat is fun when the pressure is behind you. I can't chat and do the puzzle at the same time...I need to concentrate on one or the other

11:00 pm

MissyMe

Boa I thought so...it has a lovely ring to it :) I'm saying it in my mind, like music

11:02 pm

MissyMe

zubie cool :) You were bombarded with different angles to the clues which is a good thing...if one clue doesnt help, someone may put it another way and you see it

11:03 pm

Jacula

The day that the grid has JACULA in it will be an odd one!

11:04 pm

MissyMe

JB. I had a dalmation when I was a little girl. They're so high strung...they need lots of space to run and activities to do to stay happy.

11:04 pm

MissyMe

lol Jacula :) Missy won't be in one any time soon either

11:05 pm

Jacula

There might be a near miss though!

11:06 pm

MissyMe

lol Jac Yeah close enough for government work

11:07 pm

Jacula

Listening to Queen now. 'Tie Your Mother Down' for anyone who's interested in the background music.

11:08 pm

Jacula

That sounds a bit X Files, Missy. Used to love Scully an Mulder. Miss 'em!

11:09 pm

GreyWoulf

OK -- time to find my last 22 -- been on the phone with Kirsten :) She was impatient to get the c-section over with on Fri and now she is impatient to come home :D

Which works for me and Kristianna as well :)

11:10 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - don't tell me they're working on the clues, too??

11:10 pm

MissyMe

X Files was a great show. I'm STILL waiting for my book supplier to send me the season collection of X files. I ordered it in November, obviously lost in the mail during holiday rush. The club said they would send me another...almost a month later Im still waiting...

11:11 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL!!

go5/20 and 6/24, please?

11:11 pm

MissyMe

Hello GW...I haven't been able to send my congrats to you and your wife. All is well with baby and mommy?

11:11 pm

Jacula

As for Kirsten - of course she wants to get home now. She's done what she had to do, safest way to do so, and now she wants out and home!

11:12 pm

GreyWoulf

All is great, Missy!

the only prob is that the apartment is not quite ready, but I haven't the energy to do much more than Babble at this hour :)

11:12 pm

renfield

later jojo

11:12 pm

MissyMe

GW

go5/20 first 3 letters of word above it + opposite of "on"

6/24 this is a silly person...extension of the go4/6 word above it

11:13 pm

renfield

go 6 was a disney movie

11:13 pm

Jacula

go5/20 - you might sniff something in your fridge and say this before throwing it away. You'd miss the last 'e' of the first word and the last 'f' off the second though.

11:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks, Missy! thought I tried the 6

11:14 pm

MissyMe

I'm so happy for you both!!! Don't worry about the small things like preparing the house...the baby won't know or care...he just needs that special love you both have for him :)

11:15 pm

MissyMe

ren I remember that movie :)

11:16 pm

GreyWoulf

I know, Missy -- when we had Kristianna, we were on Long Island -- I was in the middle of preparing for her coming home, when the Blackout that took out most of the NE hit! ;D

11:16 pm

Jacula

Layla - by Deric & The Dominoes playing here now. My daughter's 3rd Christian name.

11:16 pm

GreyWoulf

Ren -- if I heard right, they are trying to make a sequel to that movie

11:17 pm

MissyMe

GW that's wild!

11:17 pm

renfield

wolfie - that would be fun!!!

11:20 pm

Jacula

Ah, Her names mean dark, small, intelligent and born at night. I named her well then! She was born just before midnight, and i all of the other things mentioned.

11:21 pm

JBsAnno

My brother had a Dalmatian. It was a beautiful, but very high maintenance dog!

11:22 pm

MissyMe

Jacula...that's interesting. Most people don't consider the definitions of the names they give their children. I did when I named mine.

11:22 pm

MissyMe

JB...they sure are! I really think people get them because they are so beautiful and then are shocked at the training and attention they constantly need.

11:23 pm

suthundish

help please....with no6/24?

11:23 pm

Jacula

Dalmatians are like Red Setters and Spaniels - nutters! Their skulls compress their brains. Blame the KK for that!

11:25 pm

suthundish

11:26 pm

JBsAnno

11:29 pm

MissyMe

GW

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

Although I find it interesting that Evan basically derives from the Welsh form of John, Missy :)

11:29 pm

JBsAnno

GW - a rat, a squirrel, and a hamster are ro------.
Put an e on the front of the singular.

11:29 pm

MissyMe

helenary
