12:01 am

periwinkle

Can't believe I was the first to post!!! Hi, JB

12:02 am

JBsAnno

Hey, hoot, here I am, waiting to see the new stats!

12:02 am

JBsAnno

Good job, peri!

12:02 am

GreyWoulf

And so we start anew!

HI to all!

12:02 am

JBsAnno

um, GW, you've got a little chocolate dribble in the left corner of your mouth...

12:03 am

Jacula

Peri - you posting first is a good omen.

12:03 am

hootowl

I'm wondering if we'll get a word list before 2pm tomorrow!

12:03 am

JBsAnno

AAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!

Dr _God knows!

202 words!!!!!!!!

12:03 am

periwinkle

Jacula, I sure hope so

12:04 am

periwinkle

I am usually asleep at this hour (1 am) but I took a nap and therefore am not tired now.

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

(*wipes mouth*)

But over half are 4 letters, JB :)

12:04 am

hootowl

And look at all those a's!

12:05 am

JBsAnno

No "weird" letters, anyway!

12:05 am

cybernan

Hello Everyone -- just logged on so haven't even taken a peek yet!

12:05 am

JBsAnno

I'm happy about the a's, for sure, hootowl.

12:07 am

JBsAnno

If you went pro, you have access to the stats panel that shows the total amount of words by letter count, and by placement in the grid. Each letter grays out once all the words it starts are found.

12:07 am

GreyWoulf

hoot -- benefit of being pro status -- the stat page gives word count, breakdown by letter count and shows how many words start with each box on the grid :)

12:08 am

Blaze

Hail and Hello to ALL
This is a crwth (icon)

12:08 am

Jacula

202 words and 109 of then are 4's.

12:09 am

JBsAnno

And now, full of chocolate and camraderie, and before I stress about today's grid -
Goodnight everyone!

12:09 am

hootowl

Well I can't and won't. I'd have to get that paypal thing and really don't like paying for anything on-line. But waiting 12 hrs for a list in Anon is not fun.

12:10 am

Jacula

Excuse spelling error - listening to my fave song of all time now - Lyn Skyn's 'Freebird' live version.

12:10 am

DarleenMB

hoot I don't think you have to join Paypal in order to pay someone via PP.

12:11 am

GreyWoulf

Usually the list at Bab Anon is up fairly soon after the flip, unless Brandyjack is afflicted with one of his migraines -- then it is several hours til post

12:13 am

Debs40ish

c7/36 x 2

12:13 am

caitlyn

The CDC is working on a cure. It's an international pandemic. Way worse than the threat of bird flu.

EvaNadine

now how about that no 5/20 anyone pls?

1:00 pm

harpjane

Sometimes an antidepressant is only necessary for a short time. To get over a tough time, learn new patterns of "self-talk" etc. There's such a stigma about antidepressante. Nobody thinks a diabetic should "tough it out" with no insulin. But even though clinical depression is often caused by a hormonal or chemical imbalance, we think we can beat it if we try harder.....

That being said, Prozac changed my life, for the better, about 20 years ago.

1:01 pm

faeriekae

Harpjane - Amen

2:43 pm

cybernan

I have the purity ones, thanks -- it is the latter two that I'm looking for (following what some people do to tobacco)

2:44 pm

boreetos

:) smaller. There's a version of tetris on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail video game, themed around the "Bring out your dead!" sketch. The pieces are all dead people, and every once and a while, you'll get a piece that's not dead yet and the peice moves around and changes position. It's weird and just a little bit awesome.

2:45 pm

hurshy

or, if you prefer to google:
ch6: The opening into the nasopharynx of the nasal cavity on either side; posterior naris.

2:45 pm

Jen

2nd ch6: The opening into the nasopharynx of the nasal cavity on either side; posterior naris.
then make it plural like in Latin 101 (not with the S)

2:46 pm

Atalante

oh dear....never mind....one of my worst was when my youngest had a p**....fight at school...the headmistress rang me at home to tell me !!

4:05 pm

sherb

hi Jera and evanadine :D :D

Jessie - actually, the wind is coming from Siberia at the moment... bbrrrrrrrr... but California weather sounds a little dull...we can have four seasons in one day!!

4:05 pm

Jessie1

Yes, I've seen snow in the movies too...

4:06 pm

cybernan

Anyone need any clues before I leave?

4:08 pm

Jera

Hey, sherb, how's it going? I feel the same way about seasons... I couldn't live somewhere that it was always the same, even if it were nice weather...

Here in Virginia we are getting a taste of Spring in January... not much Winter weather this year for us!

4:09 pm

Lupe613

Jera - don't be embarrassed. I'm to the point that I have told all my friends NOT to call me on my cell phone during the day because I always assume it's my son's school. The stories I can tell you!

4:09 pm

Jessie1

shreb, we like four seasons in a year. We lend out Winter to Chicago, Ottom and Spring share the winter season. it's not dull, we get to spend more time outside doing things. If we want snow we go out to the mountains, far, far, away...

4:09 pm

Lupe613

regarding the weather - I'm in Chicago, 'nuff said.

4:10 pm

Karys

4:14 pm

sherb

it's bad enough that et4 keeps appearing, but to have et5 as well is just too much... how can there be more than one of them?

4:15 pm

pbr

en6 -- 'sign up" for the army, or navy, etc

4:17 pm

sherb

en7 reminds me of an old Disney film with dancing elephants...

Jera

4:41 pm

EasternBlue

4:42 pm

Jera

Hmmm... there are a few tough (read weird) ones, but of course there is friendly help if you want to give it a go!

4:42 pm

EasternBlue

eeeewww...202...I think I might bow out today...my brain is fried from work!!

boreetos

hello again all.

4:59 pm

boreetos

man, i am dense sometimes. I've been searching and searching for my one remaining c word. and co4, and there it is plain as day. sheesh. I suck.

5:00 pm

boreetos

bovines rule. :)

5:11 pm

Wordlady

ok ... when did "asia" get bumped from the dictionary

5:11 pm

Jera

Yay for boreetos the bovine finder! (we gotta celebrate the small battles won, ya know)

5:12 pm

boreetos

thanks! yeah wordlady, I've had that problem with asia before as well, I guess since its a proper noun or some such silliness.

5:13 pm

Wordlady

hmmmmmmmmm ... curious when names seem to work ... thanks for the input ... how y'all doin'?

5:14 pm

boreetos

not too shabby, yourself?

5:14 pm

Wordlady

hangin in ...

5:15 pm

Jera

I really can't figure out a rhyme or reason for what is valid... sometimes proper names are acceptable, some others are not... many foreign words are okay as well!

5:17 pm

boreetos

ultra bizarre, as is my need to go back to work. See you kids tomorrow!

5:19 pm

Wordlady

help, I'm stuck in a Babble warp ... it won't let me post ... musta not liked what I had to say about it's "Enable" dictionary

5:25 pm

Jera

Try refreshing, Wordlady...

5:31 pm

Wordlady

5:39 pm

Sherylr1961

hello all can someone give me a clue for the ch 5/36 pls

5:41 pm

Minbat

sher... take the ch5/22 above and add a letter. Sounds like a verb.

5:41 pm

Tigereye

There isn't a Ch5/36. There's a Ch6/36 and a Ch7/36 do you mean one of those?

5:43 pm

Sherylr1961

sorry mean the ch 5/14 welcome to my monday

5:44 pm

Minbat

Sher, there are two of those. One is what Tom the Cat does to Jerry the mouse.

5:44 pm

ch1212

Sheryl, the other is what we all do on this log... it's a ch** log plural..

5:44 pm

Minbat

Sher, the other is what kids do while jumping rope, or monks do at mass.

5:45 pm

Minbat

LOL, I guess there were three of those ch5/14 words!

5:45 pm

Sherylr1961

thats it ty so much wass driving me nuts

5:46 pm

RobRob

What's the point toal for today's grid?

5:46 pm

Tim

the first ha6/21???

5:47 pm

Minbat

202 words, 2339 points

5:47 pm

Tigereye

Ha + I5/10 without the i

5:47 pm

RobRob

thanks

5:49 pm

Minbat

Ha6 sounds like a little bother.

5:50 pm

Tim

thanks tiger ...and minbat.:-}

5:52 pm

Tim

need 7 more, 2nd ne5/10?.....3rd fe5/16???

5:53 pm

Minbat

Time, the nr5/10, take the ne4/4 below it and an a letter in the middle to sound like someone who says the sound a horse makes.

5:55 pm

Minbat

The fe5/16 you want means a little dog, but is spelled like that ne5 you just wanted. If you added a Y to the end, it would mean spunky and argumentative (fe***y).

5:55 pm

Minbat

Tim, what's wrong with my typing? I should have typed, a message ago, "Tim, the nE5/10, take the ne4/4 below it and ADD a letter in the middle to sound like someone who says the sound a horse makes."

5:57 pm

Tim

thanks minbat, got them both. great clues..

5:58 pm

Jera

Don't ya hate it when you mis-typo a good clue?

5:58 pm

Tim

now I'm missing the en7, and alot of the an words

5:59 pm

Jera

The A's are a major pain today...

5:59 pm

Minbat

The en7 is a fascinating word, I just looked it up. Start with EN, then finish with that Disney movie from teh 50's where the critics thought the animators were on drugs.

6:01 pm

Jera

Minbat... I'm curious... what is your icon? Can't quite make it out...

6:01 pm

Tim

Wow that is weird!

6:01 pm

Minbat

My icon is a little minbat in the wild.

6:02 pm

Tim

thanks again 8)

6:02 pm

Jera

en7 = Tonic spasm; -- applied generically to denote any disease characterized by tonic spasms, as tetanus, trismus, etc.

The things you learn playing this game...

6:02 pm

Jera

Sorry, I should have guessed that common sense from your name... but I don't know what a minbat is!

6:03 pm

Tim

how about clues for both an7s??????

6:04 pm

Minbat

The first an7 is a terrific word, and appears in this handy poem I know to remember all your poetic feet. Each line is in a different meter, and uses the name of the meter:
IAMBUS, king of all the north
Sucking TROCHEES ventured forth
Galloping DACTYLS emerged from their nest
But he struggled and conquered this AN*****.
SPONDEE!

6:06 pm

Tim

man, I mean min, you lost me!!!!

6:07 pm

Haz1558

an7 - use the first three letters of the first an4/4 - add pe4/5 meaning nuisance.

6:07 pm

Minbat

Er... sorry. The first an7 is the metrical foot that goes short-short-long.

6:09 pm

Haz1558

2nd an 7/28 - use the first three letters as before, add anagram of se4/4 meaning place to sit

6:10 pm

Minbat

And the other an7 is a stupidhead chemical word. Take the first 3 letters of the an4 above, and add the four-letter word that cops do to people with an electric gadget instead of shooting them. Only don't spell it with a Z.

6:10 pm

Minbat

Haz writes more coherent clues.

6:11 pm

Tigereye

Clues for Ap6 and Ap7?

6:11 pm

Tigereye

I mean 5 and 6 *should check what she writes before posting*

6:11 pm

Tim

googled metrical foot and found your poem.....cool

6:12 pm

Minbat

There isn't an ap7, I don't think. THe ap5 and following ap6 are the singular and plural of a sleep disorder where you don't breathe properly during sleep.

6:12 pm

Hazzardous

Hi Everybody!

Great clues being given - thanks!

6:13 pm

Tigereye

Thanks Minbat, thats me done. Any clues needed?

6:15 pm

Minbat

Congrats, Tigereye!

6:19 pm

Tim

Im either missing the 2nd or the 3rd an5/10...help

6:20 pm

Haz1558

Both are plural forms of an4/4 - normal plural and latin plural

6:20 pm

musicmom

Hey Ho Babblers. I have a question. ...
when you all give a definition for a clue (which I love by the way) is there a quick way to get to the dictionary to look it up?

BTW refresh if you see the bobcat icon. I picked a musical one. I'm so impressed I figured out how to do it.

6:20 pm

Haz1558

musicmom - if you press on the question mark beside each word it will take you to a dictionary.

6:22 pm

musicmom

Thanks Haz

6:23 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome - hope it helps.

6:29 pm

musicmom

Okay next question. How do you search when you know the definition but not the word?

6:35 pm

Frances

musicmon
You could google it or try the reverse dictionary
www.onelook.com

6:57 pm

Jera

(sorry I just noticed... I'm trying to cull my e-mail inbox to under 300 messages)

6:57 pm

gwenski

oa4/4 - what you feed a horse

6:58 pm

Jera

oa5/10 is when you have something made from oa4/4...

6:58 pm

musicmom

use the o in the upper right corner for the other one.

6:59 pm

lwg50

Thanks, I have it....how obvious, but I coldn't see them.

6:59 pm

musicmom

Duh I didn't read the oa request right. Sorry...

7:01 pm

lwg50

any clues for ta6/21?

7:02 pm

Jera

That's one of the Babble mottos... these words HIDE, I swear they do!!

7:03 pm

Jera

ta6/21 = A nutritive tissue within the sporangium, particularly within an anther.

*google is your friend*

7:03 pm

gwenski

or, ta6/21 kinda sounds like what you would hear at a performance of River Dance!

7:05 pm

aknitter

jera -- why just today at lunch we were discussing the ta 6/21 .... good with italian dressing! LOL

7:05 pm

lwg50

7:10 pm

lwg50

yes, my first ch5 is what the monks do

7:10 pm

Jera

1st ch6/24 = A bristle or se4/4, especially of an annelid worm.

7:12 pm

gwenski

2nd ch7/32 is like a latin plural of the ch6/24

7:13 pm

periwinkle

Thanks, that first ch6 is another new word for me

7:13 pm

Jera

Well, I gotta scoot & start doing the littlies in bed thing... nite all... see ya tomorrow!

7:14 pm

J2

Help...what am I missing? The stats log that I have doesn't give me the extra clues of how many letters in each word (example ta5/16). How do I find this info? Thanks!

7:15 pm

musicmom

It's husband time.... back in a couple hours.

7:16 pm

7:21 pm

periwinkle

en7/28?

7:23 pm

gwenski

peri, you thought the other words were weird? Wait until you get the en7! The definition is tonic spasm!

It ends like the Disney animated cartoon movie set to classical music.

7:24 pm

Frances

periwinkle
en7/28 sounds like a type of knitting if you start with i
def: tonic spasm

7:30 pm

MissyMe

8:41 pm

musicmom

I'm here. Just got back. Still have 100 words to find:-) Can you tell I haven't been here for long?

8:42 pm

mamabear

Oh musicmom... thank goodness.... I came on and never saw the chat log left alone for so long and got scared!!! Thought maybe someone put a spell on Babbleonia and everyone was asleep!

8:43 pm

musicmom

We were playing PS2 football. It froze up or I still wouldn't be here. we were only in the 3rd quarter.

8:44 pm

kristinc

Me too! I'm here too. I just thought my computer wan't refreshing properly, not that there was a void in the babble universe! I'm glad you spoke up Mama, who knows how long the maddness would have continued. :)

8:45 pm

mamabear

I know!!! Can you imagine - no chat for almost an hour!!!!!!! Gives me goose bumps.

8:47 pm

kristinc

How goes it Mama? I haven't been on in a while. Are you finally feeling better?

8:48 pm

mamabear

Yes, kristinc.... finally. Still coughing a little and sinusy, but better. Thanks for asking!!!! How are you?

8:50 pm

kristinc

Extremely tired but good. I stayed home from work today hoping that would be enough to get me through the week...we'll see! Enjoying my evening of babble however.

8:50 pm

EvaNadine

*yawn* evenin, moms!

8:50 pm

EvaNadine

8:52 pm

kristinc

Hello, hello evanadine...and we thought we were the only ones still awake, alive etc. :)

8:53 pm

EvaNadine

heh, well, i just got here....
and im not sure id say i was alive OR awake!

8:54 pm

renfield

i think i'm in existing mode.....

8:55 pm

gumpunk

I give up - wa 6/22??

8:56 pm

musicmom

I'm just playing around. No way will I finish tonight. I'm playing for a bunch of high schoolers this week at a contest on Saturday. Rehearsals T, W and Th. More time on the piano bench than on the computer.

8:56 pm

kristinc

welcome nonetheless ren and evanadine

8:56 pm

mamabear

hi evanadine & rennie!!!!
Ren - I finished this one in about 2 hours. It really wasn't bad (with the help of BJ's list and a2z for the toughies).....

8:57 pm

Eva

I'm around too, but barely sentient and with 61 to go it ain't gonna happen tonight. Just sticking around until I get sleepy enough to doze off.

renfield-existing mode is the perfect place to be!

8:57 pm

mamabear

gumpunk - there isn't any wa 6/22 that I can see

8:58 pm

mamabear

kristinc - why so tired? have you been ill?

8:58 pm

renfield

musicmom - we'll always have sunday..(feel like that's a line of casa blanca.....) 8)

8:59 pm

mamabear

Hi eva!
sounds like everyone had a rough weekend and/or Monday.... Hope it gets better for us all or this is gonna be one LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG week!

8:59 pm

kristinc

sick...pregnant, pregnant then sick...you know! :)

9:00 pm

mamabear

Oh THAT kind of sick. When are you due?

9:00 pm

musicmom

Yep. But Sunday just bring another busy week. From now until Valentines Day I'm going to be very busy between my business, Girl Scouts and on the side accompanying. That's okay - I like to be busy, but it won't leave much time for Babble finishing.

9:00 pm

gumpunk

oh sorry, wa 6/33. Someone gave it earlier as a clue to find 5/20, but that doesn't seem to be helping my brain any.

9:01 pm

musicmom

Congrats Kristin. Is this your first?

9:01 pm

renfield

eva - we'll just loll around in the ex mode.....

9:02 pm

mamabear

wa 6/33 - if you have the wa 5 above it, add an e to the end, then the 7 after that is the plural of the 6

9:02 pm

renfield

kristin - when????

9:02 pm

kristinc

Musicmom, you do sound busy but it all sounds like great things. Yes, baby #1!

9:03 pm

musicmom

Cool. I have two girls - 5 and 11 years old.

9:03 pm

mamabear

and when is baby #1 gonna be here?

9:03 pm

musicmom

I'm usually not *that* busy but things have kind of piled up this month. I am a stay at home mom most of the time.

9:04 pm

mamabear

musicmom - you sound like a very busy, GOOD Mom - enjoy it!!! They grow up too fast.

9:04 pm

musicmom

Thanks Mama. I do love what I do.

9:05 pm

kristinc

Ren and Mama...due the first of August and I'm beginning to wonder how the next 6 months will go. These first few have been pretty challenging--people keep telling me things will improve (at least temporarily) :P

9:05 pm

musicmom

Yep they should get better soon.

9:06 pm

renfield

kristin - just stay happen and enjoy the new life!!!

9:06 pm

mamabear

it will get better soon. The first couple months are the hardest when your body is adjusting to all the changes. Then it settles down for the middle 3 months and the last 3 you just grow, grow, grow!!!!! (and so does baby!)

9:08 pm

kristinc

Good to hear...we're enjoying the pregnancy and accompanying excitement nonetheless

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi all -- stopping by before I have to deal with all the last minute things I NEED to get done before tomorrow

Kristi -- it does indeed get better unless you are in the rare minority that never gets over the morning sickness -- however it does take some adjustment as your body redirects its energy towards growing the baby, thus making your everyday routine seem like a herculean task at times (*Hug*)

9:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

9:10 pm

renfield

hey wolfie!!! ((hugs)) to you as well!!!!

9:10 pm

EvaNadine

preparing icon for tomorrow...may i get some opinions?

9:10 pm

kristinc

GW-good to hear even from the new, probably tired dad. Congrats to you and the fam as well!

9:10 pm

mamabear

Speaking of BABIES!!! Hi GW - how is the little guy doing? I bet you can't wait to get him & Kirsten home tomorrow!

9:11 pm

GreyWoulf

oops --phone call

9:11 pm

mamabear

what's the theme tomorrow, evanadine?

9:11 pm

EvaNadine

ducks

9:12 pm

renfield

ducks

9:12 pm

renfield

why a duck? why not a chicken? love the marx's brothers viaduct routine!!

9:13 pm

kristinc

oooh ducks. Okay, I have never taken the time to get an icon but you better believe I will be finding me a stellar duck...they are my favorite animals!

9:13 pm

mamabear

well I guess I might as well go duck hunting....brb

9:13 pm

renfield

tell us when to refresh so we can give you our 2 cents worth

9:14 pm

EvaNadine

ok, here is #1 -- classic

9:15 pm

musicmom

That's pretty good!

Wordlady

Mamabear that's the best icon I've ever seen

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

kristi -- I know she does --- but her desire to be doing whatever I am doing can be both distracting and frustrating at times :)

But I am loving it -- these memories will get me through her rebellious "I hate you!" teenage years ;)

10:08 pm

kristinc

Good perspective GW...she sounds very sharp and will probably keep you all on your toes for years to come!

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

kristi -- she didn't reveal that she could climb over the gate to my bedroom until the day I chose to go in to wake up her mother without her and she REALLY wanted to participate :D

So yeah, she is sharp as a tack and snealy to boot ;)

10:09 pm
